() Fengxiang, Dong's Castle.

The dawn of dawn had just been reflected on the land, and the morning sun in the distance had just revealed half of the mountains, and the morning glow burned and rolled in the sky like a flame.

The war drums of the "homeland" sounded, which was a signal for the concentration of the whole army, and it seemed that the fortress was going to be attacked today.

"What's going on with the cavalry?" a veteran soldier asked a younger soldier beside him.

"I don't know, they seemed to have gone out on some mission three days ago, and they didn't come back until last night. The young soldier also looked mysterious.

"I heard a woman's voice over there last night!" the old soldier whispered, looking around.

"No, there is a woman in the barracks, and that is going to be beheaded! You don't know that the head of the family has always been the same in enforcing military discipline!" the young man shook his head in disbelief.

"It's true, and I wonder what's going on. Last night I got up in the middle of the night to relieve myself and went to the corner of our camp for a while. As a result, a woman's voice was heard, and it seemed that there was more than one. At first, I thought I had misheard, but when I listened closely, it was a woman's voice, and it was right!" The veteran's tone was quite affirmative.

"That's a strange thing! What are the cavalrymen doing when they go out on a mission for three days and bring women back?"

"Who knows!"

"Hey, what are you two doing? muttering here, don't you hear the concentrated drumming!" a squad leader came out of his own camp, his eyes red.

"Captain, Lao Zhang said that yesterday he heard a woman's voice in the camp of the cavalry regiment!" said the young soldier.

"There are hundreds of them captured by the cavalry regiment, women, children, and old men!" the squad leader said nonchalantly.

"Captain, how do you know?" the veteran named Lao Zhang also came up.

"Don't you see that my eyes are still red? Yesterday I was on duty and saw the cavalry regiments come into their camp with hundreds of men. ”

"No, the cavalry regiment is too bold, isn't it?" the young soldier guessed.

"Beat your ghost robbery, have you ever seen the robbery of the 'homeland'? I don't know that the robbery in the 'Ten Cutting Orders' is to cut off the head!" the squad leader knocked on one of his subordinates.

"What's going on?" asked the veteran.

"What's the matter, who do you ask me? I'm not a general, I'm just a squad leader. But tell you, there were several generals standing at the gate of the cavalry regiment last night!" said the squad leader triumphantly.

"Who?"

"They are all powerful lords, and the three commanders of the cavalry are there! I guess it's some special mission!"

Hearing the squad leader say this, the two soldiers also nodded.

When the pink morning sun jumped out of the mountains, the 20,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry of the "homeland" had already gathered in front of the Dong Castle.

Seeing each other fighting like this, the four patriarchs of the four major families all went to the city wall to find out.

Li Yuxuan is fully armed today, wearing the black armor of a general, and it is the "Snow Dragon Horse" that stepped down from the Thousand Miles Dragon Horse. Li Fang and the others are also dressed as soldiers, but Xu Ruoyu is still wearing a white robe, all of them are lined up behind Li Yuxuan, and behind them are overwhelming ironclad infantry.

There was still something on the battlefield that puzzled the soldiers on both sides. In front of the "homeland", dozens of wooden stakes were lined up.

Li Yuxuan saw from a distance that the patriarchs of the four major families on the opposite castle appeared on the city wall, smiled slightly, and rode slowly in the direction of the castle alone, with only two guards behind him.

"What guts! Archers prepare!" Dong Lao saw Li Yuxuan on the city tower approaching the castle with only two personal guards, and immediately ordered the archers to prepare for shooting. As long as the opponent dares to enter the range, he will turn him into a hedgehog.

When he reached three hundred steps away from the city wall, Li Yuxuan grabbed the reins of the "Snow Dragon Horse". The two guards immediately ran over and handed over a big bow that the two of them were carrying on their shoulders to Li Yuxuan. This bow is all made of Tang Xu iron, the bow body is about one person, and the bowstring is made of three deer tendons. The weight of the whole bow is amazing, almost on par with the bloody tooth knife in Langzhong. However, Lang Zhong, who is known for his heavy knife and amazing arm strength, only pulled half of this bow when he tried to pull it, so you can imagine the power of this bow.

"Cloud Piercing Bow!" Dong Lao exclaimed in surprise when he saw the giant bow in Li Yuxuan's hand.

"Cloud Piercing Bow?" Several other nobles obviously didn't know what the "Cloud Piercing Bow" in Dong Lao's mouth was.

"The Cloud Piercing Bow is the name of a bow, which is the bow that the other party is holding at the moment. It is said that this bow is the property of the Carol royal family, and it can shoot through floating clouds when the bow is opened, so it is called the 'Cloud Piercing Bow'. I didn't expect this bow to end up in the hands of this kid!"

"How can there be such a strong bow?" asked a young nobleman in surprise.

"Whoosh!"

A green feather arrow brushed past the face of the nobleman who was speaking, and suddenly nailed it to the pillar of the city tower behind him, and the tail of the arrow was still swinging, obviously this arrow was amazingly powerful. Looking at the nobleman's cheek again, although he was not hit by the arrow, the high-speed air flow brought by the arrow slid his face into a bloody streak.

"Sure enough, it's the 'Cloud Piercing Bow'!" Dong Lao exclaimed in surprise when he saw this arrow.

"Hooray!" The 20,000 soldiers of the "homeland" could not help but shout in unison when they saw the earth-shattering arrow of their commander at a distance of 300 paces.

Li Yuxuan turned around and raised the "Cloud Piercing Bow" in his hand to accept the cheers of his subordinates, and the whole momentum could be described as earth-shattering.

As an opponent, Feng Xiangfang, whether it was the soldiers defending the city or the patriarchs of the four major families, all showed horror in their eyes, obviously shocked by their amazing martial arts and tsunami-like momentum.

"An earth-shattering arrow!" Xu Ruoyu in front of the formation looked at Li Yuxuan, who had arrived in front of him, and muttered to himself.

"Maybe the real king can pull this 'Cloud Piercing Bow'!" Li Fang sighed.

"If there was this 'Cloud Piercing Bow' in Fengcheng at that time, then it wouldn't be so troublesome to deal with Feng Shaojun!" Li Yuyang suddenly thought that the ordinary arrow on Feng Shaojun's body couldn't deal with the fine iron armor.

It took a long time for the arrow to stop trembling at the pillar. It was only at this moment that everyone noticed that it was a letter arrow, and there was a small bamboo tube on the arrow, and there must have been a scroll of letterhead in the cylinder. Several soldiers climbed up and took out the letterhead and pulled out the arrow, but no one could pull it off.

"Forget it, come down!' The 'Cloud Piercing Bow' is worthy of its name!" Dong Lao sighed, and at the same time took the letterhead handed by the soldier and saw it unfolded in front of the other three patriarchs.

"The three tribes have come into my hands, and I will give you three days, and if you do not descend, I will slaughter them at noon every day. ”

The patriarchs of the four major families were stunned at the same time.

At this moment, there was movement in front of the "homeland" array, and nearly 100 men, women, and children were brought to the front, all of them with their hands tied behind their backs, crying and kneeling by the wooden stakes. On either side of each wooden stake are two sturdy sergeants with swords.

"No!"

A young patriarch threw himself on the fortress tower and shouted, and it was his people who were tied below, including his father in his sixties, his wife in his thirties, and three sons, the youngest of whom was only three years old, who was also thrown on a wooden stake at this moment, and the mother of the child was lying next to him.

Seeing this scene, even many "homeland" soldiers couldn't help but turn their heads away. Although these are all nobles who usually oppress themselves, such a tragic situation can't help but make these soldiers who don't frown in bloody battles can't bear it.

Xu Ruoyu and the generals already knew today's scene, and they were already prepared in their hearts. But at this moment, he was still bloodless, and even Lang Zhong, who was called the "Tiger General", lowered his head.

This is the news brought by the parchment, and I don't know where it came from, of course, the head of the family is silent, no one dares to ask, at the meeting that day, all the people opposed the use of this method, but the head of the family, Li Yuxuan, only said one sentence and stopped all the different voices.

"By sacrificing these few hundred people, we may be able to avoid a war that will cost thousands of casualties!"

After saying this, Li Yuxuan turned his back and waved his hand to end the meeting.

Just for the sake of one possibility, hundreds of unarmed old and weak women and children will be killed.

Xu Ruoyu was suffering unimaginably in his heart at the moment, and he knew very well that it was right to do so in terms of the overall situation. But is it fair to individuals to children who are still babbling at birth?
