Northwest of Jinju, Oksan Pass.

This is one of the last passes captured by the grassland people, the 2,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the captain of Yushan Pass are all veterans of the Jinzhou state army, and the city pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the hoarding of grain, grass and arrows and other armaments is also abundant, and the captain of Yushan Pass is one of the best generals among the captains of the Jinzhou border pass, otherwise it is difficult for him to hold on to the city pass for more than a month without help.

However, under the circumstance that all the Jinju state army retreated into the walls of various places in the state, even though the configuration of every soldier in the city pass was almost perfect, the barbarian army was far from being able to support him with a single tree of the captain of Yushan Pass, and the destruction of the city pass was also expected by everyone.

The barbarians did not leave a garrison in the Yushan Pass, and the 2,000 defenders in the city pass only left dozens of seriously wounded people on the day of breaking the pass, and lit a fire with more than 100 people on a high platform in the city pass, and the rest of the people in the pass were all armored slaves, and after looting all the supplies in the pass, a fire burned the houses in the pass to the ground.

According to the number of roads that the steppe people invaded south in the past, they often ignored the rest of the passes after breaking through the border and entering the country, but now they have almost swept all the city passes in the north of Jinju, could it be that the barbarian army has now expanded to such a field, and they don't have to care about the casualties at least twice as many as the defenders during the siege?

The warriors of Jinju couldn't figure out the joints in any way, but it was an indisputable fact that Yushan Pass was broken, and the large collapsed city walls and the traces of smoke and fire on them, as well as the broken arrows, blades and bones everywhere all showed the fierceness of the fierce battle for more than a month, and the barbarians who swept away everything available did not bury the corpses of even their own soldiers, allowing them to expose the corpses of the city pass.

In the past, the barbarians with limited siege means were mostly plundering in the countryside, and rarely attacked the city, even if they broke through the pass and went south, they also picked up some weakly guarded small groups of men and horses to pretend to be traders. Anyway, the ants attached to the registers are all slaves under the accounts of the nobles, and the lives of slaves are not worth as much as cattle and sheep in the eyes of the nobles, and they die when they die.

But the large collapsed city wall does not seem to be able to be destroyed by manpower in any case, and sure enough, there are still some siege equipment that have already been used to break the pass, but I don't know how geometric.

Now is the extremely cold solar term, I don't know when the Yushan Pass was broken, those who can't tell whether it is the Yao people or the barbarians The body has not been completely rotted, just shriveled down, but the smell is disgusting when you get a little closer, and you can feel that someone is approaching, and the owls that were still pecking at the carcass will fly up to the sky together, shaking the sky and covering the sun like dark clouds, and a few old and thin wolves are also nourished fat and strong by these corpses, and they are not in a hurry to flee when they see people coming, standing in the distance and looking coldly at these uninvited guests.

Wei Changpan tried his best to avoid the bones, but he fell into the dilemma of avoiding the man's chest with one foot and breaking one hand with the other, and finally had to walk at will.

When they came, they took a remote path, did not take the avenue that had been blocked by the barbarians, and overlooked the Yushan Pass from a high place nearby, at that time, the barbarians attacked the city day and night, and climbed the wall of Yushan Pass several times and were driven down by the defenders, at that time.... It seems that there are no siege equipment yet.

Just as they rushed to the nameless valley, they happened to pass by the barbarians transporting siege equipment, and Wei Changpan couldn't help but be glad that he had not met the barbarian team transporting the equipment.

After a few days of walking on the vast snowfield, the warriors of Jinju learned what the young barbarian Mochiha said that the road ahead was not easy to walk, although the weather was sunny and no snow fell, and the daily distance could be dozens of miles more, but after walking this long distance, except for the wild wolf who was so hungry that his belly was close to his backbone that he came to find trouble twice, he had not seen a living creature twice.

Earlier, there were also some wild sheep and wild deer to shoot as rations, this group of people had to start to carefully calculate the daily food, this ten days of hunger and fullness, everyone is yellow and thin, to this Yushan Pass two days has been out of food, if not on the road from a few wolves to take half of the yellow sheep to make a meal, otherwise they may not be able to go to Yushan Pass.

There are also grassland horses, although the riding battle charge is majestic far better than Yao horses, but can not go such a long distance, plus the Jinzhou rangers do not know the temperament of these difficult horses, with oat forage fed up not a day can be full, one night escaped six horses, set off to calculate the abundant situation of one person and two horses immediately stretched, seven people and nine horses, even if it is lame in the middle of the road, they are reluctant to kill and eat meat, squeeze out some oats from the ration to serve well, Ba Wang, this horse will be able to walk again tomorrow.

However, it backfired, and when he arrived at this Yushan Pass, the horse's legs could only hang in mid-air, Wei Changpan looked at the lame horse and sighed, and said with a wry smile with the ranger named Liu Ziyi next to him: "If you can't find food in this Yushan Pass, it's better to kill this horse." ”

"It's long overdue. The latter thought deeply, "Seeing that even the complete armor and swords and guns everywhere have been picked up by the barbarians, presumably there will be no food in the pass." ”

Someone poked the corpse on the ground with a severed arrow with his nose, and then said to Wei Changpan, "I am afraid that the nearest death is more than ten days, and it has been almost rotten for a long time, and only bones remain, and nothing can be seen." ”

A group of people walked into the Yushan Pass, the gate seemed to have been repeatedly hit by a strong force of Pei Mo Nengyu and fell, and by the way, it also crushed to death several Yao soldiers behind the door, the wooden door wrapped in pine wood and copper skin was full of traces of swords, and half of the door was removed, and it was used as dry wood for the fire by the barbarian sergeants.

Although Yushan Pass is a border city pass, the people and defenders add up to 5,000, but the pass at this time is empty, a touch of residual sun shines on the damaged city of Huangyang Pass, shining in this empty city.

Walking through the streets and alleys of Yusan Pass, the rangers of Jinju shouted in Dayao Mandarin whether there were any living people, and at the same time they were wary of whether there would be wild beasts that suddenly sprang out of their side.

Wei Changpan seemed to have heard something in the house in front of him, and the group hurried over, and found a house that could barely shelter from the wind and snow in the ruined wall of the mansion that was probably the residence of the captain of Yushan Guan, and it was that house that made the noise.

The fire set by the barbarians in Yushan Pass did not burn down the side room of this captain's mansion, Wei Changpan drew his knife vigilantly, no one knew what was behind the crumbling wooden door, with so many people going through so many hardships and dangers just to find a way to survive, he could not be cautious everywhere.

The movement in the room was gone, but if you listened closely, you could still detect the faint sound of breathing coming from inside the room.

Adjusting his posture to the most suitable position for exerting force, Wei Changpan gestured to the ranger on the other side of the door, and after three silent recitations in his heart, he broke into the door.

The wooden door, which was already crumbling, couldn't withstand the sudden force of the three-story martial artist, and fell down in mourning, Wei Changpan followed the steps of the first person and dodged in.

When the door fell, a huge amount of smoke and dust were raised, and it took a while for Wei Changpan to see the furnishings in the house, originally he thought that he had enough courage after two years of training, but the situation inside the house still made him shudder.

White bones, mountains of corpses, the stench inside the house was a hundred times stronger than outside, and yet it was unbelievable that there were still living people living in such a house.

The disheveled man was covered by his long gray hair and beard, and he waved a thick stick bone in his hand, I don't know if it was a human leg or a bone on a human arm, his voice was hoarse and frightened, but he didn't get up and run away, Wei Changpan noticed that his thigh had been broken at the root, and his other arm was also limp beside him.

"Get out of here, son of a bitch!" the man's screams grew quieter, and at last he threw away the rod and bone, and lay on the ground begging for mercy with slurred words.

"The barbarians are gone, Yushan Pass is now an empty city, and you are the only person we have found alive in the city. Wei Changpan took two steps forward and kicked away the bones on the side, took out his skin bag and fed a little water into the man's mouth, "How long ago did the barbarians leave?"

The man raised his head suddenly, and where his eyes were originally there were two black blood holes, Wei Changpan was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

The man who had obviously been tortured was so miserable that he could only move his arm, and no one knew how this blind and disabled man had survived to this day, and the city was scavenged with food and wells blocked with stones when the barbarians left.

Everyone looked at the white bones in the room again, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they knew how this man had survived to this day.

Wei Changpan saw what they didn't see, if the man's ragged clothes were intact, they must be extremely bright clothes, and there were embroidered patches on it that had not been completely covered by stains, and they could barely see that it was Biao's pattern.

The official residence of the captain of Dayao Border Pass is from the sixth grade, and the official uniform is a red background Biao complement, and there is only one captain in Yushan Pass.

"These days, it's been hard work. Ignoring the stench emanating from this man's body, Wei Changpan leaned closer and bowed to him.

The blind and disabled man froze and asked in a trembling voice, "You.... You guys are.... Da Yao's soldiers?"

"Yes. ”

"You're late! You're late! All the people are dead! All the people are dead!" The high-spirited Captain of Jinju Yusanguan howled, but there were no tears in his empty eyes, "I took them to the last moment! What about your people! What about your people! Didn't come! Not a single one!"

No one could answer his words, and the man's cries echoed throughout the Yushan Pass, endlessly.

The rangers of Jinju silently listened to the howl of this border lieutenant who had done his best for Da Yao, and then, unsuspectingly, this man who had survived to this day by the corpse left by the barbarians beside him crashed to death on the wall beside him.

Remember to avenge us.

This is the last sentence left by Captain Yushan Guan before his death.
