Tianyin Mountains, a line of sky

The "first-line sky" pass is located in the west of Liangzhou, West Qin, and is still thousands of miles away from the border city.

This land of 10,000 miles, mostly lofty mountains and mountains, the terrain is dangerous, the march is extremely difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the natural barrier of Liangzhou, and the "first line of sky" is the last line of defense of Liangzhou.

This treacherous place, which was split by the palm of the finch god fairy, could only pass through ten people in parallel, but it was thousands of miles long, and the peaks on both sides were towering into the clouds, and the top could not be seen with their heads raised.

The two peaks are called Erlong Mountain!

There were immortal cultivators who tried to climb over Erlong Mountain, but they had to retreat only halfway up the mountain.

Because these two dragon mountains are extremely steep, most of the sections are straight upward rock walls, and it is impossible to find a borrowing point. And as the mountain gets higher and colder, halfway up the Erlong Mountain, a trace of gloomy cold air has been born, and the low-level monks can't resist it at all.

Yin and cold qi is a natural and nurturing qi, which is not harmful to mortals, but it feels a little colder, but it is fatal to monks!

Because of this, the Yin and Evil Qi is particularly sensitive to the monk's aura, and once it is discovered, it will invade endlessly, freeze all the aura on the monk's body, and even destroy the monk's dantian.

In this way, these two dragon mountains are the Jedi, from the Western Desert to the Middle-earth world, this "line of heaven" is the only passage.

But after the "first line of heaven", there is a vast plain, after which there is no dangerous road to block, and it leads directly to the hinterland of Middle-earth.

If the "first line of heaven" is broken through, and a million cavalry dominate the grassland and wave eastward, not only the Western Qin Dynasty is in danger, but even the Great Xia Dynasty is facing annihilation.

Therefore, military defense here is a top priority.

At both ends of the "first line of sky", there are heavy troops camped and sitting, and in the middle of the first line of sky, on the towering rock walls on both sides, many platforms have been artificially excavated, and a large number of rolling stones, bows and arrows, and gunpowder have been deployed.

In this way, if you want to break through the first line of the sky, it is difficult to go to the blue sky.

But with so many troops stationed, the cost is extremely huge every year, and there are very few battles here, just because no enemy from outside the country will come to attack here, and it is self-defeating.

Many courtiers in the Western Qin Dynasty have advised to reduce the number of troops here, but the emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty not only did not reduce the number of troops, but also sent more troops to the "first line of heaven".

Before and after, the total number of troops around the "first line of heaven" has reached 5 million!

In order to maintain the material needs of the huge army, the wise emperor of Western Qin began to build one town after another in the vast barren plain on the east side of the "first line of heaven".

The Emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty issued a decree that all farmers who moved to the "first line of heaven" to reclaim wasteland would be exempted from tax for ten years, and all the expenses of the farmers along the way would be paid, and they could even receive grain seedlings from the imperial court for free.

Such preferential policies have attracted a large number of poor people, and in just a few years, millions of peasant households have migrated to the "first line of heaven", millions of acres of fertile land have been reclaimed, and this barren and desolate plain has become one of the largest granaries in Western Qin.

City after city has sprung up

came out, and countless wealthy merchants were deeply attracted, leaving behind the superior life of the dynasty and rushing to the west to make money.

And because everyone in the Western Qin Imperial City is a soldier, these millions of farmers are soldiers who can fight at any time, which makes the number of troops near the "first line of heaven" increase to 10 million!

Such a policy of enriching the country and strengthening the army has been recorded in history, and it was even included in the "Ten Policies of Great Xia" by the historians of the Great Xia Dynasty, and was named "Tuntian Frontier"!

The national strength of the Western Qin Dynasty reached its peak for a while, and the nearby weak countries were all in awe and admired the Emperor of the Western Qin.

However, the attitude of the Great Xia Dynasty became more and more unpredictable, especially the Qi Emperor, although he praised the Western Qin country on the surface, but in fact issued a holy decree, strictly prohibiting all countries from following the example of the Western Qin, and not allowing the farmers of the Western Qin country to move to the west.

The reason for the emperor was that if the country followed the example of the Western Qin and caused a large number of peasant households to accumulate in the west, it would inevitably lead to domestic emptiness and instability of the dynasty.

The funny thing is that the peasants of Daxia are miserable under the heavy taxes of the imperial court, and they don't know how many people starve to death every year.

Later, what made Emperor Qi extremely angry was that a large number of peasant households in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty had defected to Western Qin, and the peasant households of one village after another formed a team at their own expense and marched towards the dream land of "a line of heaven".

But they could not bear the wrath of Emperor Qi, and in the past few months, in order to prevent the farmers from moving westward, there have been many bloody suppressions, and dozens of villages have been slaughtered!

But water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!

These peasant households, who have worked diligently all their lives and respectfully paid their taxes, have all become mobs!

Those villages united one by one, one in the east and one in the west, and actually began to attack the Great Xia military camps and loot the military rations! Dozens of military camps were plundered by the Great Xia mob, and the dignified Great Xia warriors were defeated by the mob's hoes and sickles.

The powerful Great Xia Dynasty was in turmoil for a while.

The Dayu Dynasty in the northeast obviously noticed the internal changes of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the border moved frequently, and the troops were dispatched, as if there was a tendency for a large army to press the border.

Emperor Qi was shocked and angry, gritted his teeth, and actually dispatched the world-famous Great Xia cavalry!

Historically, the Great Xia cavalry had conquered foreign countries and killed invading foreign enemies, but now, their iron hooves have collapsed against their own people, and their spears have pierced the hearts of their compatriots!

The Great Xia is full of blood.

※※※

Due to the policy of "Tuntian Frontier", there have been more than ten wealthy cities near the "first line of sky", and this Linze City is one of the important cities.

A young man appeared on the outskirts of Linze City, riding a snow-white horse with a dark spear hanging from the white saddle, the head of which occasionally flashed cold, obviously not a vulgar thing.

The young man's eyes were bright, his expression was resolute, and his face was handsome.

It's just that his face is full of worry at the moment.

"General, now that the refugees of the Great Xia Dynasty are flocking in, although we in Western Qin can accept them for the time being, if this goes on for a long time, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, it will be eaten up by them!"

"Even the money that General Meng asked us to buy military supplies is yours

More than half of it has been dispersed, which is already a capital crime!"

One of the lieutenants beside the young man had a sad look on his face, and his words were full of dissatisfaction.

"Rest assured, this matter will not affect you. All the sins of this general alone will not implicate you in the slightest!" the young man glanced at him and said lightly.

The adjutant general's face turned red: "General Huo, my subordinates don't mean this......"

"You don't have to follow General Ben anymore!" This young man was Huo Wuji, and at this moment he said in a cold voice, "If you go back now and report the truth, General Meng will not punish you, and may also credit you!"

Yan Bihuo sat down without a problem, the white horse hissed, and ran towards Linze City in the distance.

The adjutant general's face turned blue and white for a while, and he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

In the east of Linze City, thousands of tents are lined up, and the ears are full of wailing and pain.

Most of these refugees are yellow and thin, and most of them suffer from mild and severe diseases.

The city lord of Linze City almost emptied the temporary military tents in the warehouse, but it was still not enough for these refugees.

If you stand on a high place and look at it from a distance, tens of thousands of refugees are lining up, slowly walking towards Linze City, if you look farther, the tail of this long dragon stretches until it disappears into a lush forest.

Huo Wuji flipped his storage bag, his face was even more worried, even if he had astigmatized the supplies, it was only a drop in the bucket.

"Why are there so many refugees!" Huo Wuji lowered his head and pondered, "Under the Great Xia cavalry, how can these refugees survive, if there are 100,000 refugees, it is the ultimate to escape 10,000!"

A terrible thought suddenly appeared in Huo Wuji's mind, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the tail of the long line of refugees.

The white horse was extremely fast, and after half a burnt incense, Huo Wujian finally arrived at the forest, and through the forest, there was a steep mountain stream.

Suddenly, on the inconspicuous side of the mountain stream, dozens of big men with single knives came out.

These big men stared at the refugee team, and suddenly rushed in, slashing without raising their knives.

Huo Wujian was furious, and was about to make a move, when three people suddenly jumped out of the group of refugees, holding long swords in their hands, and rushed towards the dozens of big men.

These three people should be forty or fifty years old, and they have grown mottled white hair, but their strength is not bad, and the cooperation of the three of them is very orderly, and they advance and retreat in a certain way.

Huo Wujian was stunned, this was very similar to the pattern of small group battles in their army.

I saw that the three of them were very strict in their moves, and every time they struck out their swords, they were not missing a penny, as if they had received some kind of special training. Judging by their tacit understanding, it is by no means something that can be honed in three or five years.

Within a quarter of an hour, the dozens of big men had all died under the swords of those three men.

"Soldiers!And not ordinary soldiers!" Huo Wujian was taken aback, "It should be from the regular royal army, and they belong to the top elite!, how could they appear here?"

While he was in doubt, a scar-faced man among the dozens of big men suddenly stood up from the pile of dead bodies, and with a single knife in his hand, he slashed it while the three of them were breathing.

The three of them were caught off guard and saw that

The sword is about to get close.

Huo Wujian roared angrily, and slammed the dark spear on the saddle, the cold head of the spear flashed, faintly carrying the shadow of the dragon, and flew up quickly, stabbing towards the scar-faced man.

A little cold came first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon!

Huo Wuji's figure flickered, followed closely behind the spear, and slapped it towards the tail of the spear!

At this moment, a short sword spun into a wheel, appeared from the opposite side of Huo Wuji, and slashed at the scarred man's neck.

The scar man was shocked, he faked his death before and wanted to raid the three people in front of him, but at this moment, he was caught between two strong men and back!

He exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stopped the knife in his hand, stomped his right foot to the ground, and suddenly rose into the sky.

But he never expected that the dark spear in front of him would instantly turn around and stab him in the head!

The short sword behind him was even more bizarre, suddenly turning into a wide and long heavy sword, emitting a fan-shaped sword aura, and the target was also his head!

There was a loud "boom", and the scarred man couldn't even snort, and his head exploded into a rain of blood.

Huo Wuji only felt a powerful sword qi rushing towards him, and he shook the spear in his hand violently, spinning into a black light curtain, which could withstand the extremely powerful fan-shaped sword qi.

"Good marksmanship!" Huo Wuji walked across from a man, fair-skinned, handsome, and noble, holding a heavy sword longer than his height, and said with a gentle smile.

Huo Wujian felt a strange feeling in his heart, and looked at him blankly: What a beautiful man!

The three middle-aged men who were using the sword before suddenly knelt down towards the man, saluted respectfully, and said, "Meet Young Master Ah Qi!"

ps: Say, who is Ah Qi?
