Seeing the grassland army outside the city cheering and rushing towards the gate of Shanggu County, Li Yi sighed secretly.

"Looks like we couldn't hold it in the end!"

"Childe, it seems that those grassland cavalry should have successfully killed the county town of Shanggu?"

An Su said as he looked at the grassland soldiers who kept pouring into the city of Shanggu County.

"It should be, now that the Shanggu County City is broken, they will probably attack Yuyang County and Yunzhong County next."

Li Yi sat on the horseback and said with a worried face.

"Are we going to rescue these two cities?"

Helian Dong's face was a little anxious, and Helian Yun didn't know where he was at this time.

This time, he finally killed Murong Qinyou to avenge his blood revenge, and he didn't want his few remaining clansmen to be killed again.

"At present, even if we go to Yuyang County, the result should not change anything."

Li Yi said helplessly.

Indeed, as he said, their current number is too small, and only 500 people cannot control the entire situation of the battle.

Even if Wan Qi Haiyi is caught now, it will not be of much use because of the shaman's command of the Wolf Court.

Li Yi even felt that if his Wan Qi Hai Yi was used as a threat now, the other party would definitely directly get rid of them and Wan Qi Hai Yi together.

"Then what should we do, at least we have to find our own big army!"

Helian Dong said with some anxiety.

"You're right, the most important thing for us now is to find and fight our large forces, and then discuss the next move."

"But according to your previous speculation, our large army should have chased the cavalry of the steppe tribe to the upper valley. So, as long as we enter the city, there is a good chance that we will find our large army? ”

Helian Dong thought that Li Yi had said that most of the defenders of Yuyang County should come to pursue this grassland cavalry.

"Don't be too optimistic, in this situation, even if we enter the city, we may face a large number of fleeing defenders, and whether we can still encounter a complete army is a question."

Ansu directly poured a basin of cold water on Helian Dong.

"You're really uninteresting, so you can't say it's good."

Helian Dong looked disgusted, and he still admired Ansu's skills, but sometimes he always spoke and acted differently from them.

"Gongzi Li, when are we going to enter the city?"

Seeing that the people of the grassland tribe were still pouring towards the Shanggu County City, Helian Dong asked a little anxiously.

"Judging from the current situation, it will take at least a few hours for the steppe cavalry to enter the city in full. If it's still early today, let's wait, and when it's getting dark, we'll act, so that our chances of being seen through will be much lower. ”

Li Yi looked at the sun in the sky and said.

Everyone thought he was right.

"Now that the county town of Upper Valley is broken, do we still have to carry these two burdens? It's better to slaughter these two people here, and what happens to the province. ”

After everyone dismounted, An Su pointed to Wan Qi Haiyi and Yu Zhenlei who were tied up and said.

An Su didn't have the slightest intention of carrying the two of them behind his back when he said this, so Wan Qi Haiyi couldn't help but shake his body when he heard An Su's words.

And Yu Zhenlei looked at the people around him fiercely, as if he was about to fight back at any time.

Li Yi watched the two of them frown and thought for a long time, and finally finally said his decision in the eyes of everyone.

"Let's leave the two of them behind for the time being, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Li Yi's words finally relieved Wan Qihai, who was originally very nervous.

In Wan Qihaiyi's opinion, even if the wolf court no longer values himself, in the end, his clan will definitely put forward conditions to redeem himself.

As for whether he can still be the khan of the Xianbei tribe after he goes back, that is a question for the future.

However, with his own means, even if he can't be a Xianbei Khan, he can be a behind-the-scenes controller.

And the premise of all this is to be able to survive yourself.

As time passed, the sun in the sky finally began to slowly set in the west.

The place where the grassland and the horizon meet has begun to turn dark blue, and the whole land is about to fall into darkness.

At this time, the defenders in the town of Shanggu County had all been scattered by the grassland tribes.

In fact, only a small part of them were defeated by the steppe tribes, and most of the defenders chose to retreat in an orderly manner at the first time.

Due to the rout of the defenders, a large number of people in the city fell into panic, and they immediately gathered their soft and prepared to flee for their lives.

Therefore, when the large army of the grassland tribe marched into the city, the southern gate of Shanggu County was already crowded with a large number of fleeing people.

Because the fleeing defenders were afraid that the steppe cavalry would catch up with them, they directly sealed the south gate while fleeing.

However, with the efforts of the people, several large holes were finally dug in the city gate.

But even this has seriously affected the speed at which people are fleeing for their lives.

At that time, when Li Chengxiong chose to seal the southern city gate, Mu Yizheng and the other leaders of the reinforcements disagreed.

However, Li Chengxiong was the general of Shanggu County, and his order was a military order, so the city gate was finally sealed.

On the surface, Li Chengxiong said that it was to prevent the grassland tribes from taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and the city gate was closed to buy more time to organize the defending army.

In fact, he wanted to use these innocent people to buy himself more time to escape.

Therefore, the leaders of the reinforcements all expressed disdain and contempt for Li Chengxiong.

Therefore, when they all fled from Shanggu County, Mu Yizheng took the lead in saying that his beggar army would not flee anymore, and he would stay and fight guerrilla warfare with the grassland tribes.

After all, his beggar army is mainly cavalry, so it is not inferior to the steppe cavalry in terms of speed.

And Mu Fenglin said that he wanted to evacuate all the troops to Yunzhong County, originally he wanted to go to Yuyang County.

But thinking that this cavalry seems to have come from the side of Yuyang County, maybe the Yuyang County at this time has completely fallen like Shanggu County.

The other armies also planned to withdraw from Li Chengxiong's team, and most of them chose to go to Yunzhong County to support.

Only a few cavalry-based reinforcements chose to stay and fight guerrillas like Mu Yizheng.

At this time, Muhua Li Falcon had already moved into the county guard mansion of Ueya County.

In front of him was a group of shivering people on their knees.

All of these people were wearing the official mansion of the Dayu Imperial Court, and the first one was wearing a crimson official uniform.

This man is the Upper Valley Commander Ho Lei.

To say that this He Lei can also be regarded as a character with quite an inspirational story.

When he was young, he was a prodigy in ten miles and eight towns, but his family was poor and could not afford to study, so when he was very young, he could only herd cattle for the landlord and squire's family.

But the poor life did not wear out his dream of studying, so he would secretly run outside the school in the village every day to listen to his husband's lectures in addition to herding cattle.

Then when I got home in the evening, I would use a knife to carve all the things I had learned today into bamboo sticks.

In this way, in a year or two, he carved a lot of bamboo slips.

Then one day, he was herding cattle just lying on the back of the cow and carefully reciting these bamboo slips that he had copied, and happened to be heard by a middle-aged scholar passing by.

This middle-aged scholar was grateful for his serious study, so he wanted to accept him as an apprentice.

Then his knowledge was rapid and soon far surpassed his peers, and then he participated in the imperial examination under the recommendation of his teacher, and finally passed the test and successfully killed all the palace examinations.

And his performance in the palace examination was also very good, and he finally ranked fourth in the second class, which can be regarded as a real gold list title.

Then, after decades of officialdom, he finally mixed into the position of Ueya Gunjo.

To say that the rights of these county guards in the border area are far less than the rights of the county guards in other places, the reason is because these county towns in the border area are set up to resist the invasion of the grassland tribes.

Therefore, among these counties, the right of the defenders of each county town is the greatest.

However, although the rights are not very large, their grade is not low at all.

It is precisely because the defenders of the county town have too much power that there is usually a secret dislike between the county guards and the generals of the county defenders.

For this reason, Li Chengxiong did not notify these officials in Shanggu County at all when he evacuated.

"As the head of a county, you didn't expect to end up where you are today!"

Mu Hua Li Falcon sat on a chair and said comfortably with his legs shaking.

"Life and death have a life, wealth is in the sky, I am waiting to be caught by you, it is fate, there should be this calamity, you want to kill, you have to kill it."

Although He Lei was stopped by two soldiers and knelt on the ground, he still said in a resolute tone.

"What a sentence about life and death, life and wealth are in the sky, this seems to be what your saint said, right?"

Mu Hua Li Falcon smiled and looked at He Lei, who was holding his head high and swearing to die.

He saw that He Lei didn't talk, so he continued.

"Actually, I appreciate what you sages say, but I don't like you scholars very much, and it seems to me that most of you scholars don't read the words of the sages into your stomach."

Muhua Li Falcon stood up and walked back and forth among the kneeling officials.

"Look at the cowardly appearance of you so-called people who have read poetry and books like sheep, if your sage knew that his disciples in later generations were all such a group of people who would have jumped out of the coffin in anger."

"Shut up, how can the sages and saints be slandered by you as an uncivilized barbarian."

He Lei was furious when he heard Mu Hua Li Falcon's words, and he was about to get up immediately, but he was pressed to the ground by the two grassland soldiers beside him.

"Don't be excited, if they can bring your saint back to life, then you guess the saint will cut you down with a sword after he comes back to life!"

Mu Hua Li Falcon's face suddenly turned cold and glared at He Lei angrily.

"It's nonsense, I don't know what to say!"

He Lei retorted with a righteous face.

"Don't pretend to be so righteous in front of me again, I've already asked people to search the county guard mansion just now. Guess what I found? ”

Mu Hua Li Falcon's face began to become playful.

And He Lei's face became worse in an instant.

"You've been insulting the fleeing defenders before, but it seems to me that the defenders deserve to die, but they're nothing compared to you."

After looking around at the officials kneeling on the ground, Mu Hua Li Falcon returned to his seat.

"If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want, don't humiliate me."

He Lei finally said what was in his heart.

"Kill you? You're thinking so beautiful! Even if I do want to kill you, I'll have to ask the prairie women you locked up in the basement, and the souls of the unjust dead that you buried in the garden in the yard. ”

Mu Hua Li Falcon's tone pierced He Lei's heart like a sharp knife.

"I've already said that I hate the righteous look you pretend, and your sins can't be hidden."

Mu Hua Li Falcon's words made many Dayu officials who were kneeling on the ground tilt their heads to look at He Lei.

In their hearts, Lord He Lei He is a good official who is upright, honest and loves the people.

"Hmph, what am I guilty of! Those women were given to me by your steppe tribe, they are not my Dayu people, I can treat them as I like! ”

He Lei was still unmoved, still maintaining an awe-inspiring and inviolable appearance.

"This is what your sages say: If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different?"

Mu Hua Li Falcon's face slowly subsided, and the anger slowly subsided, revealing disdain.

"If your saints really taught you that you can abuse other women like this, then I don't think you will die in a long time."

"Hmph, instead of pursuing the culprits who gave these women to me, you blame me for putting the cart before the horse!"

He Lei's words are becoming more and more unconfident.

"I know why you dare to talk to me so hard, because you think I can't do anything about the guy who sent you these women, right?"

Mu Hua Li Falcon's face became more and more smiling.

On the other hand, He Lei's face was getting worse and worse, as if he had a premonition.

At this moment, a soldier from the steppe tribe walked in at the door, and at the same time he was carrying a bag in his hand.

The bag was dripping with blood drop by drop, leaving a trail of blood on the ground he passed.

"You said you guy, can't you pay attention? Do you still think it's a prairie? You get the floor dirty, and you have to find someone to clean it up when you go back. ”

Looking at the blood stains on the ground, Mu Huali Falcon couldn't help frowning and reproached.

"Shaman, please forgive your sins!"

The soldier immediately fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

"Alright, alright, give me the stuff and get out!"

Saying that, Mu Hua Li Falcon stood up and turned the bag in the man's hand, then opened it and took a closer look at it and nodded with satisfaction.

"Lord He, I invite you to see a good thing."

With that, Mu Hua Li Falcon threw the bag to He Lei's side.

He Lei knew at a glance that the head in his pocket should be a human head, but he hoped it was not the one he imagined.

When he opened his pocket tremblingly, he was greeted by a familiar face.

Suddenly, He Lei felt that the sky was spinning and he immediately fell to the ground, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained in an instant.

"How? It's an old acquaintance of yours! ”

Mu Hua Li Falcon looked at him with a smile on his face.

"My lord! Spare your life! Although I did kill some girls from the grassland tribe, I have also sent a lot of strategic materials to the grassland tribe over the years! ”

Suddenly, He Lei knelt on the ground as if he was a different person, and kept kowtowing and shouting.

His move stunned all the other Dayu officials.
