Nanyang, Yanmen Pass.

As the sun set, the clear outline of the sun vanished, the silence rose like a mist, diffusely spreading, the wind gradually stopped, the trees stopped swaying, and everything seemed to be so harmonious and beautiful. There were only a handful of soldiers on the towers of the castle standing drowsy on duty, and the day of peace was coming to an end, and the soldiers could not be alerted to the invasion of the enemy. After all, although Yanmen Pass is a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, it has not been war-torn for more than ten years, and there is no conflict between everyone and the harmonious. The Northern Liang State has never come to intrude, although there is no diplomatic relationship between the two countries, but the border is still relatively harmonious, caravans come and go, there is mutual benefit and win-win, thriving.

Suddenly, the ground began to rumble, and I don't know who shouted: "The ground moves!" Everyone, run to a safe and open place! However, at the extreme, how could there be such an empty voice, the merchants and the common people ran towards the outside of the gate, and when everyone thought that they were safe, a sudden change occurred......

The gates of the city slammed shut, and people thought it was caused by the earthquake, but they didn't think much about it. But what happened next, the masses could no longer calm down.

The tremors were getting louder and louder, but some of the children were still playing without knowing what was happening, but the adults had already realized that something was wrong: "How can this earth be accompanied by a faint shout?" ”

Soon, billowing smoke appeared on the horizon in the distance, and the ground shook again, sounding like rolling thunder in a storm.

That's the reverberation of horses' hooves! A huge cavalry array is advancing from the west towards Yanmen Pass, the front of the cavalry array is holding the Beiliang banner high, the cavalry is not advancing fast, but every meter of advancement, it seems to be beating a drum.

"Enemy attack! Prepare for battle! "A soldier galloped on his horse, but was shot through the chest by an arrow and fell off his horse.

The soldier's words were only heard by the people on the periphery, and they squeezed into the crowd in panic, but the cavalry arrays of the Northern Liang still did not charge, they were waiting, waiting for the army guarding Yanmen Pass to appear. With a "boom", the city gate fell, and a cavalry team of 7,000 people rushed out of the pass, surrounded the crowd, and began to maintain order.

Seeing such a situation, the Northern Liang army began to charge. The advance of the cavalry line thrust like a sharp sword into the crowd, and the people were killed without even seeing the appearance of the enemy. In this impact, thousands of people were trampled to death by the iron hooves of galloping horses.

What followed was not fighting, but massacres. With a wave of their halberds, the heads of four or five of the horsemen were cut off. The hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry of the Northern Liang Army constituted a big blanket of death, and everywhere they went, corpses were everywhere.

Stampedes began to occur in the crowd, and countless people died at the hands of their own compatriots.

A few days later, everything was fine. Yanmen Pass, 150,000 people, no one survived.

Nanping County.

Qiu Yi and Mengdie took the old man back to the princess's mansion, and after asking the subordinates to serve the old man a cup of hot tea, Qiu Yi asked, "Old man, what is the relationship between you and that Qin Ke?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment and replied, "Although you have never returned to Nanping County, the old man still has a sense of intimacy with you." It is worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and you can guess the relationship between me and Lord Qin at once. I was originally a strategist under Lord Qin, and after the war, he settled us old guys very well, but we didn't want to bother him, so we all ran to Nanping County, and now I am the only one left. ”

"Old man, would you like to follow me? I promise I won't do you any wrong. When Qiu Yi heard this, she said decisively, she was extremely accurate in her previous life, and she could see at a glance whether a person was trustworthy or not, so she had this sentence.

The old man fell to his knees with a "plop" and said tremblingly: "Don't dare to be, the old man is willing to do his part for Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”。
