A few days later, four or five guests came to the inn, and Zhang Bo and Wang Gang welcomed the caravan into the inn.

Uncle Zhang smiled and greeted the leader, who was a man about fifty years old, his face was a little gloomy, and he looked at Wang Gang a few times.

After a few simple words with Uncle Zhang, he went to the room to rest.

As soon as it was dawn on the second day, the merchants left the inn.

Later, Zhang Bo told Wang Gang that these merchants were the caravan of the Taiyuan Wang family and had also come to the inn several times.

Usually bring some pottery and grain from the Central Plains to the Xiongnu to exchange for some horses. This time it was not very smooth, and there was some turmoil on the side of the Huns.

When he walked outside the Yanmen Pass, he was plundered by a small group of Hun cavalry. Neither food nor pottery was saved.

When Wang Gang sent the merchant away, Uncle Zhang called Wang Gang to his room, gave him a string of copper coins, three hundred wen, and asked him to go to the East Market to buy a winter coat.

After a few days, Wang Gang knew a little about the county seat of Mayi and had been to the market several times.

The county seat of Mayi has the East City and the West City. The East Market is larger, and it is mainly merchants from the Central Plains who come here to sell some goods from the Central Plains. The locals opened a few shops and sold some grain and cloth.

Sometimes they sell weapons, swords, swords, and ponies. Han Dynasty weapons were controlled to a certain extent. Ordinary traders are not allowed to sell bows and arrows, and of course war horses are not allowed.

Wang Gang curiously picked up the short knife, about two feet long, three fingers wide, very sharp, a little heavy in the hand.

The price of a question is more than 1,000 wen, and the short sword is cheaper, and it also costs 800 wen.

Wang Gang dismissed the plan to buy a handful for self-defense. Wang Gang went to the clothes shop next to him to buy a winter coat and a pair of shoes made of animal skins, and there were not many copper coins left.

When I was returning to the inn, I saw a group of soldiers walking on the street, with short knives in their hands and a small wooden shield on their backs, two or three hundred people.

The leading general, riding a steppe horse, wearing armor, holding a spear in his hand, and carrying a short sword at his waist.

Go to the city gate.

Listening to the passers-by next to him, this is the lieutenant of Ma County, who wants to go out of the city to exterminate the Hun soldiers who harassed the caravan.

Wang Gang looked at those short knives and was stunned, the other party is a cavalry, what is the use of you with some swords and shields, and it is better to get some archers or pikemen.

To put it bluntly, sword and shield soldiers are cannon fodder, and there are very few of them in the regular army.

In fact, what Wang Gang didn't know was that there were dozens of archers in Mayi County, and there was no pikemen, and the pikemen relied on the cooperation of the battle formation to exert great lethality.

Mayi is a small county town, and the county soldiers may not be trained twice a month, let alone the battle formation.

Wang Gang returned to the inn and told Uncle Zhang what he saw, and also expressed his concerns.

After hearing this, Uncle Zhang also agreed with Wang Gang's opinion, and did not have much hope for sending troops out of the city to deal with a small group of Hun cavalry.

Then Uncle Zhang took out a string of copper coins from the room, this time more, more than a thousand Wen.

Wang Gang thought he was going to buy something again. I took the copper coin and was about to ask what I wanted to buy.

Uncle Zhang opened his mouth and said; "Little brother of the Wang family, you can take these coils and go on the road as soon as possible, now that the situation in Mayi is unknown, the little brother should go back to the Central Plains as soon as possible."

Wang Gang was stunned when he heard this, and he was also a little moved, Uncle Zhang and himself were not related to each other, so he let himself eat and drink in vain these days, and gave himself the travel expenses before leaving.

Thinking of Professor Yu again, his eyes were a little red.

In the past few days, Wang Gang didn't want to move, so he wanted to stay quietly in this small courtyard, on the one hand, he was unfamiliar with this world when he first came to this world, and on the other hand, he had not yet come out of the shadow of Professor Yu's death.

"I don't want to leave here for the time being, I appreciate Uncle Zhang's kindness."

Uncle Zhang didn't say much when he couldn't persuade Wang Gang, but only said that the little brother put the money on him in case of emergency. To put it bluntly, you can run away at any time.

In the following days, Wang Gang cleaned up the yard during the day and studied the iron box at night, which was the parallel universe exchange device. It's just that there has been no progress, and it still can't be opened.

At that time, Professor Yu was pressed for time and did not explain too much, and Wang Gang's mind was all on the professor, so he didn't ask too much.

I only know that the level placed on the Great Wall can be opened.

It's just that Professor Yu also said that the Great Wall is not only on the ground, but also part of it underground, and I don't know if Yanmen Pass is a checkpoint of the Great Wall.

This is the only bargaining chip he has in this world.

Two more days later, there was big news.

The county soldiers who went out of the city were defeated, the county lieutenant Ma was killed in battle, and less than 100 county soldiers fled back to the county seat.

When Uncle Zhang heard the news, Wang Gang left again, but Wang Gang still refused.

Now Wang Gang wants to go to Yanmen Pass to have a look, but he doesn't have a suitable opportunity.

The county commander was shocked when he learned the news of the defeat of the county soldiers, and hurriedly wrote to Yanmen Taishou for help.

Then he ordered to gather the people, and ordered the major families in the city, and the private guards of the families to gather to guard against the Hun cavalry at any time.

Before the reinforcements arrived, an urgent report came from Yanmen Pass, and the Huns began to harass Yanmen Pass.

Another day passed, and more than 20 riders came to Mayi County.

The county order gathered only more than 300 county soldiers, as well as 200 people, and more than 200 people from the Shi family.

In the formation at the gate of Mayi, the county soldiers were all timid, and the people were even more trembling.

Only those guards were quite calm, a white-robed young general. He was followed by more than 20 horsemen, all of whom were heroic and extraordinary.

Especially the white-robed young general, who is eight feet tall, has sword eyebrows and does not smile.

Riding a brown horse with an iron-tired bow hanging from it. Dressed in silver chain mail, he carries a horse chopping knife in his hand, and the white cloak on his back flutters in the wind.

is a heroic posture, that is, there is no beard on the resolute face, and it is slightly immature.

Wang Gang, who was standing in the middle of the people, looked at the imposing white-robed young general, and thought in his heart.

The white-robed young general is still so heroic, I'm afraid it's not Changshan Zhao Zilong.

Thinking about it, I don't think it's right, Changshan Zhao Zilong should be in Changshan County, this is Yanmen County, Bingzhou. Besides, Zhao Zilong used a gun, a gentian bright silver gun, not a horse chopping knife.

After most of the day's march, we finally came to Yanmen Pass.

Wang Gang only felt that his legs were numb, and the other people were panting, and some of them were paralyzed on the ground.

After a little rest, Wang just looked up at Yanmen Pass.

On both sides are the mountains that stretch together, listen to Uncle Zhang.

The big mountain in the south is called Hanging Pot Mountain, the mountain is dangerous, it is difficult for birds to cross, and it stretches for hundreds of miles. The mountain to the north is Hanshan, because it rarely rains on the north mountain, so it is called Hanshan, and there are many pines and cypresses on the mountain.

Hanshan Mountain starts from Shangdang County and reaches Yunzhong County in the west, which is the backbone of Bingzhou.

During the Qin Dynasty, a beacon tower was built on it, but it is now abandoned. To the north of Hanshan are the four northern counties of Yanmen County. It's just that now the Huns are entrenched, and it has become an indelible pain for the Yanmen people.

The inner pass of Yanmen Pass is two zhang high, the outer pass is three zhang high, and both sides are thousands of zhang cliffs.

The county order arranged for the county soldiers to go to the pass to set up defenses, and arranged for the people to transport food and war materials into the pass. He also arranged for the guards to carry the rolling stones and sassalwoods to the city wall.

At this moment, a group of Hun cavalry, riding horses, came to a place more than 20 steps in front of the pass, shot a rain of arrows with a bow, and then beat the horse and left. The guards on the city wall had no time to react, and dozens of people were shot by arrows and fell in pools of blood.

The others didn't have time to fight back, and the Huns had already retreated to thirty paces away, and only the white-robed young general shot over the two.
