Under the gloomy sky, the dark clouds hung so low that they almost pressed down on the top of the mountain.

It was a little hot, there was no wind, it was slimy, and it made people feel out of breath.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the reed-strewn riverbank.

Tiny drops of rain fell, and a curse rang out from the reeds.

A moment later, dozens of small boats rowed to the shore in unison, and the warhorses standing tall in the cabin were revealed.

The water splashed, and the horses neighed.

More than 100 horsemen quickly went ashore, and after a short rest, under the guidance of the guide, rushed straight out.

Golden lightning flew violently in mid-air like the claws of a mad dragon.

The raindrops gradually intensified, and the sound of horses' hooves became more and more rapid, showing the urgency of the owner.

It's closer, it's getting closer.

"Whoosh!" An arrow flew out, and the farmer, who was packing up his tools in the field, fell to the ground.

Exclamations rang out, and the peasants fled in all directions.

Panting and full of fear, even if they fled, they tried to follow the ridges of the fields, not willing to destroy the crops that were about to be harvested.

"Whoosh!" Another arrow flew out.

In the middle of the field, a body fell to the ground, crushing a piece of wheat.

Blood seeped into the earth, and the dying farmer's eyes widened in anger, and his hands subconsciously helped the wheat that he had overwhelmed, and gradually fell silent.

"Bang bang!" More than 100 horsemen rushed into the wheat field and took a shortcut to the main gate of the fort wall.

At the main entrance, a young man with a spear hesitated, looking at the enemy cavalry that was rushing towards him at a rapid pace, and at the other hand at the people of the castle who were retreating.

Among them are his relatives who get along day and night, there are friends he grew up with, and there are girls who are his childhood sweethearts......

He hesitated, he couldn't be so ruthless.

There were already people urging him to close the door.

His hands trembled, tears welled up in his eyes, and his hands seemed to have a thousand powers.

"Boom!" Thunder exploded in my ears.

"Poof!" As soon as he rode in front of him, the lance pierced through his body, picking him up and forking him in mid-air.

The teenager finally saw his loved ones.

They were knocked to the ground by enemy horses, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

The boy saw his friend.

He was slashed by a saber, and blood rushed to the sky.

The boy saw the girl.

She was knocked to the ground by an arrow, and trampled by the horses that followed her.

"Whew!" The boy's remaining consciousness felt the wind, and he managed to open his eyes, realizing that he had been thrown out.

Already the enemy cavalry had already rushed into the courtyard wall, and everyone panicked and scurried around.

Finished! It was the only consciousness he had left.

"Bang!" The corpse was thrown into the crowd.

smashed seven or eight men who rushed out.

More and more enemies poured into the courtyard, fierce and well-equipped.

In a few strokes, the resistance of the burgers was broken.

Especially a heavily armored general, with a burly figure and amazing strength. One person, one shield and one knife, slashing several people in a row, is brave.

There were seven or eight sharpshooters behind the general.

They abandoned the soft horned bow and replaced it with a hard bow for foot combat, pointing and shooting, which was a great deterrent.

"Boom!" The thunder rang out again, muffling out the earth-shattering screams.

By the time a curtain of rain covered the land, the battle was over.

The enemy riders were fierce and cunning, and even more sophisticated, and it was obviously not the first time that they had done this kind of sneak attack.

The dozens of remaining men among the burghers were tied up and driven to the courtyard to be left in the rain.

The old man began to cook, prepare food for the enemy horsemen and their horses.

The woman was dragged into the room, and lewd laughter and cries rang out.

******

It was getting dark, and the sunset was making its last struggle, refusing to set easily.

High on the hill, hundreds of people blocked the only mountain road.

Their faces were solemn, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere when they looked at the dense crowd at the bottom of the mountain.

The crowd under the mountain is not chaotic, on the contrary, it is quite orderly, with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and golden drums and banners.

They didn't pay attention to the crowd on the mountain.

These people have yellow faces and thin skin, thin clothes, and the weapons in their hands are rusty and unusable. There were even people with farm tools, dung forks, and wooden sticks, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

They had been part of this group of people, and he knew their strength too well, and he knew what they were thinking.

Wretched? Inexistent.

In troubled times, either kill or be killed, and your heart has long been hardened. But if there is a trace of weakness, you will not be able to live now.

There were already people who went up the mountain, shot a few arrows casually, and after killing a few people, there was a commotion on the mountain road.

After a long time, someone closed their eyes and waved their hands.

The setting sun finally fell, leaving only a remnant of blood in the west.

The last remaining grain was pulled out.

The scrawny cattle and sheep were driven out.

There are people howling and crying on the mountain road, how can they live without food, cattle and sheep?

More people looked sad, but did not stop it.

There are always ten days and a half of rations left, and with this time, maybe we can find a way to live?

If you really can't do it, you will borrow food.

If you can't borrow it, you go to the Great Dock Fort and sell yourself as a slave, as long as you can survive.

The leader seems to have read books and know how to read.

I saw him ask a little, then took out a piece of yellow paper and hastily wrote a gift list.

A moment later, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he descended the mountain alone and came to a general surrounded by a large group of sergeants.

With his head held high, his waist straight, he first clenched his fists, and then held the gift list high above the top.

A sergeant stepped forward, took down the gift list, and handed it to the general.

The general looked at it casually and asked, "How much is hidden?" ”

The general's own soldiers sneered and looked at him with playful eyes.

"If the general is killed in a hurry, there is nothing to say." The leader looked at the general and said in a deep voice: "My stockade is small, and I can't block a blow from the general, but before I die, I can always pull a few pads." ”

The general laughed, then pointed with his hand and said, "Hit me!" ”

The soldiers rushed over, and the whips and scabbards fell on their heads and faces, and the leader of the cottage fell to the ground covered in blood.

Because of the severe pain, his whole body arched, but he never said a word, did not beg for mercy.

"Stop!" The general said.

The soldiers stopped and retreated.

"Make a team of fifty dings." The general stretched out a hand and said, "I'll send someone to pick it, and I'll leave after picking it, how about it?" ”

"Good ......," the leader muffled as he replied on the ground.

Soon someone picked him up and carried him up the hill.

The trail is narrow and the shrubs are dense.

In the midst of the rope, the mountain path was full of dripping blood, reflecting the remnant sun on the horizon.

The army below the mountain is still marching, heading into the unknown distance.

In the troubled times, you kill me, I kill you, everyone goes with the flow, and they can't help themselves.

The little cottage trembled before them and endured humiliation, but when they encountered a stronger enemy and were defeated, they were the ones who cried.

Perhaps, this is the troubled times.

In this world, a heroic man is needed to be born, lift a three-foot sword, level the world, and reshape the mountains and rivers.

In this way, the people of the cottage can farm under the mountain with peace of mind.

Life may still be hard, working all year round, but you don't have to be displaced, and you can reunite your family.

During the Sheri Festival, you can divide the sacrificial wine and meat.

During the summer solstice, you can eat zongzi to treat yourself.

In the middle of winter, make salty rice with your family.

At the time of the day......

The son can grow up peacefully and marry the daughter of the neighbor.

When her daughter grows up, she marries into a neighboring village and occasionally takes her children home to see them.

Ding Zhuang in the cottage was quickly picked up fifty people.

They wept silently, and in the impatient urging of the officers, they said goodbye to their loved ones—a real farewell, and most of them will never see each other again in this life—and staggered down into the boundless army.

Now, a year or two later, if they don't die by chance, they will be "lucky" to be involved in many more of these events.

The difference is that they are the victims at this time, and they are the perpetrators at that time.

Until someone can put an end to it all.

******

The breeze blew a few leaves down on the table.

Wang Yan raised his head and stared at the old tree in the courtyard.

Last year it was full of vitality, but this year it suddenly failed, so that in early summer, the leaves fell all over the ground.

The tree is sick.

The world is also sick.

He picked up a copy of the report on the desk and sighed.

The Xiongnu invaded in a big way, and the troops split the road and rushed straight to the ground.

In the Puyang Kingdom of Yanzhou, Shi Le rode south and plundered on a large scale.

The funny thing is that at the beginning, there were only more than 100 horsemen, which frightened the army of Yanzhou Mu Sima Yue to move frequently, as if facing a great enemy.

When he found out that there were only more than 100 horsemen, he was so angry that he smoked and scolded the people who lied about the military situation for not knowing how to count, and making a big fuss.

But soon they suffered.

The enemy cavalry who crossed the river to the south increased and ambushed a large army that had come to drive them away.

The thieves surrounded and killed the 3,000 infantry troops sent out by Sima Yue, and the corpses were all over the field.

"Shi Le is getting better and better at fighting...... Wang Yan vaguely remembered that in the Battle of Yemagang a year and a half ago, Shi Le was still a fool who only knew how to do brute things, and the 60,000 army was wiped out.

A year and a half has passed, and Shi Le has been fighting everywhere in Jizhou, Youzhou, and Yanzhou, but he has matured a lot.

Sure enough, everyone is improving, just Situ ......

Wang Mi unexpectedly crossed the river from Wenshijin, attacked the fort wall all the way, collected grain and grass, and enlisted in the army, as if he was going to go south again to Chenliu.

Chen Wu, the beggar handsome, was very nervous and went out to Fengqiu County, intending to stop the enemy.

Liu Cong and Liu Xian besieged Shanyang, Vu Duc, and Huai counties in Hanoi.

Yes, like Shangdang County, Hanoi County was never completely occupied by the Huns.

Both the Jin and Han sides appointed the Shangdang Taishou and the Hanoi Taishou respectively, and confronted each other and fought over each other.

The Hanoi Taishou of the Great Jin Dynasty is Guo Mo, and the Shangdang Taishou is Yang Zong, both of which only occupy a small piece of land in the county and are struggling to support it.

The Huns probably wanted to eat Hanoi, Jijun, and Dunqiu in one go, and sweep away the Great Jin stronghold north of the Yellow River.

However, it is not ruled out that they may immediately go south.

Li Yun, the general of the right guard, was originally a beggar. After Sima Yue left Yanzhou, he chose to stay in office, unwilling to give up his hard-won official position.

The Son of Heaven has repeatedly wooed him and trusted him.

Hearing that Liu Cong had arrived in Hanoi, Li Yun invited himself to lead 5,000 troops to the north, holding grain and grass for two months, and set up a village to defend Fupingjin.

is a man who dares to fight, no matter what his outcome is, his courage is indeed commendable.

After Wang Mi's expedition to the east, Shi Cao Wei, led the people to return to the east, the momentum was like a bamboo, and the empty eastern Yanzhou was stirred upside down.

The three counties of Jibei, Dongping and Taishan were penetrated by it, and Dongping was directly occupied.

Later, Cao Wei went straight to Langya and occupied the whole territory, and the number of soldiers surged to 780,000.

At present, his department is being rectified, eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, accumulating grain and grass equipment, and once it is completed, most of them will be sent back to their hometown in Qingzhou.

The Huns made a big scene this time!

Wang Yan frowned, looking at a map left to him by his daughter Wang Huifeng.

There are dense small characters written on it, to the effect that the Xiongnu are blooming everywhere, but many places may be false tricks, and their real purpose is Chenliu and Xingyang.

Give the dummy? Wang Yan smiled bitterly.

The Huns came and went like the wind, and it was indeed possible to play this trick.

But what can you see? How to deal with it is the key.

He looked in the direction of Xingyang on the map.

Years later, he still felt that this man was the only one who was reliable.
