Zhang Yong was one of the more than 10,000 troops who went out of the city to fight.

As a soldier who had just converted from slavery for a few months, before he was plundered to the grassland, he was an ordinary person living in the hinterland of Jizhou, with a family that was not wealthy, and the land under his name was about 100 acres After paying all the overt and covert taxes stipulated by the imperial court, the grain produced was only enough to meet the needs of less than five people for a year.

This is still in the case of old people and children, if all of them are adults, they can probably only starve for one meal and barely survive.

(In the Han Dynasty, one acre of land was smaller than it is today, about 465 square meters, and the output of grain was less than 200 kilograms, and most of the grains that did not taste very good - millet and millet).

Therefore, in order to make a family of eight live and not go hungry often, he also had to rent other people's land.

However, renting other people's land is to be rented, and it generally exceeds more than fifty percent, plus the harsh taxes imposed on it have not been reduced together (it should have been borne by the landlords who own these lands, but for ordinary people who have no power to protect them, they are not qualified to negotiate conditions at all), so in addition to his own more than 100 acres of land, he has to rent the same amount of land to ensure that no one in his family will starve to death.

However, this is far beyond the limits of the average adult workforce.

Without the help of oxen and horses, 100 acres of land is already the largest area that Zhang Yong can cultivate, even if the whole family goes up together, it is just enough to take care of it. When something happens, such as illness, injury, or a bad harvest in a bad year, the only way to do this is to borrow from someone else and then tighten your belt for the next few years. Even, if you encounter that kind of black-hearted landlord and old wealth, in order not to lose all the ancestral land, you can only sell your children and daughters in pain, or let the old people in the family run into the field to commit suicide, so as not to fall into the vicious circle of profit and ruin when you can't afford it at the beginning.

But even if it is such a difficult and difficult life, someone will come to destroy it.

The Wuhuan people who invaded last year shattered all his hopes.

In the face of the Hu cavalry coming and going, as an ordinary person facing the loess with his back to the sky, Zhang Yong failed to get the news in time and ran to the county seat with his family to take refuge.

And in order to save time and take away all the valuable things, the cruel fellows hacked all the old people they caught, and the rest had to travel long distances with their own feet like sheep, under the threat of big knives and horses' hooves.

In the process, his three young children failed to survive and died directly on the way. When his wife, who was still alive, saw this scene, she quickly went crazy, and before she could reach her destination, she was hacked to death with a knife because she attacked QJ's own Wuhuan people in a frenzy.

Zhang Yong, who encountered such a tragedy, was already completely desperate, but the arrival of Zhonglang General gave him the motivation to continue living.

In order to be able to avenge the dead family members, Zhang Yong no longer planned to wait for death in a daze, but in the next few months, he burst out with all his efforts, vowing to master the immortal magic weapon in his hand, and then kill all these Hu people who brought him pain and despair!

……

Yes, almost all of the people who can be sent out by Nanshan are poor people like Zhang Yong who are bitter and strong-willed.

They have borne untold pain and witnessed the tragic death of their loved ones in front of them. Therefore, even if they were equally nervous, frightened, and surrounded by more than 100,000 troops, their bodies would instinctively tremble, but no one took a step back.

In the face of the overwhelming number of Hu cavalry coming from three sides, the soldiers in the front row firmly grasped the weapons in their hands and poured out every bullet in them as best they could.

In burst mode, in just three or four seconds, a magazine, twenty rounds of ammunition have been exhausted. A total of 70,000 or 80,000 rounds of bullets directly caused more than 20,000 or 30,000 casualties in the dense tribal coalition army....... Among them, less than 30,000 people may be directly killed by bullets, and almost more than 10 or 20 bullets can kill a person, but the indirect fall of horses caused by injuries, as well as the pain and fright of horses, make the formation of the tribal alliance a big mess.

Most people had to spontaneously slow down to control their mounts to jump over these sudden obstacles, but to no avail.

Because their formation is just too dense.

In the case of people next to people and horses squeezing horses, once the speed is raised, it is not easy to control it again, even if the riding skills are superb, it is useless, it is impossible to make other people's horses slow down at the same time.

Just as cars under 90 kilometers on the highway face fines, this uneven phenomenon has caused even more chaos, and only some people in the front row can get around the obstacles under their feet by pulling away without slowing down.

But no one could be happy about this, because this little time was enough for them to advance less than a hundred meters, but as the distance narrowed, the bullets began to cause more casualties among them.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer companions around him, Qiu Liju couldn't hold back any longer, he turned his head and shouted with a frantic face to the few people who were staying under heavy protection not far behind him.

"Don't wait any longer, hurry up and bless the people in the front row!"

They are the greatest dependence of every tribe in the grasslands - shamanic witches.

As transcendents who have awakened their spiritual powers, they can not only know the weather, divinate fate, and raise spirit animals by communicating with all things, but also exert spiritual influence on others. Of course, it is definitely not as exaggerated as Zhu Wumeng, the former great witch of the Wuhuan people, who directly manipulates other people's bodies. However, as the Witch Wishers of the Army, they can rely on this method to make the recipient a key force on the battlefield that can determine victory or defeat.

Just like they do now.

Ahh......h

After a period of movements, gestures, and roars similar to those of madness, the witchcraft that was stimulated quickly took effect on the Wuhuan cavalry in the front row.

Under the influence of the frenzied mental power, these people's consciousness gradually disappeared, their eyes slowly turned red, and the corners of their mouths began to drool uncontrollably, obviously falling into a state of madness, and they would no longer feel pain, fear and fear. But what is even more exaggerated is that the muscles on their bodies are all inflated, directly making their bodies bigger, and it can be clearly seen that those bullets can no longer penetrate their bodies, but are directly clamped by the muscles outside, which can only cause minor external injuries.

This is exactly the way the tribes rely on the bottom of the box to win on the battlefield, directly sacrificing a group of people to make them a group of crazy people who will fight until the last moment. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he will not hesitate to rush forward.

Of course, this terrible witchcraft is not without its side effects.

Not only is it difficult to regain consciousness after physical exertion, but in the process of fighting, if it is their own people who stand in the way, they will also cut it well.

Therefore, unless it is forced to the last resort, it is generally not easy to use, because it is afraid that if it is not used well, it will hurt others and hurt oneself.

At this time, Qiu Liju shouted for a few witch wishes with the army to be used, undoubtedly being forced into a desperate situation, feeling that if they were not used, they were likely to lose.
