Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 7 Wind and Thunder Stirring Section 13

Chapter 7 Wind and Thunder Stir Section 13 On the dark night sky, the stars are dotted, and a round of the moon is quietly floating in the clouds, looming.

Da Hei rolled over, opened his eyes to look at the fire in the distance, and slowly got up. He was a little distraught.

At dusk, the scouts brought news from the other side that the Yanzhou army had stopped its routine training today, and perhaps the enemy was about to start attacking.

At the beginning of last year, the imperial court implemented the new soldier system, and without hesitation, he took his family into the army, came to the north bank of the Yellow River, and began to be a soldier again.

The lives of himself and his wife were all saved by the Northern Xinjiang Army, and without the general and this army, his family would have turned into dry bones.

To be a man, you must repay your kindness, you must repay the general, and you must fight to the death for the Northern Xinjiang Army. There were 10,000 soldiers in the Dongwuyang battalion, and each family was given a field.

His family of four has 150 acres of land, which is far more than the land he received when he was in Mintun.

If the year is good, the life at home will be very good at the end of the year. Soldiers do not have to pay taxes, but only pay a very small part of the fees to the battalion.

This part of the cost is mainly used for the training and maintenance of ordnance in the army. Although the soldiers are worried about their lives at any time, in the face of such generous treatment, the people who have suffered a lot are still eager to rush to it.

However, the long-awaited good days had not yet come, and the rebels in the Central Plains began to attack in a big way. Da Hei stood up, rubbed his eyes, and stretched long in the fresh river breeze.

The Yellow River was obscured by darkness, and only the sound of the river lapping on the embankment could be heard. In the grass near the embankment, unnamed insects are chirping incessantly.

He turned his head to look behind him, remembering his wife and children who had been evacuated. Before evacuating, his wife took her children to the bank of the Yellow River to say goodbye to her.

There is nothing superfluous, I can live until now, and I can reunite with my wife and children for several years, all thanks to the general.

What they should do, the family knows in their hearts.

"If I die, you take good care of your mother and your sister." These are the only words that Daikoku can give to his son.

According to the time calculation, they have crossed the Qing River and entered the Anping Kingdom.

"Uncle, are you thinking about your aunt again?" Big Black looked down. It was a young man lying at his feet, very thin, with a hint of childishness on his face, and a thin neck that seemed to break at any moment.

"Stick, it's still early in the morning, you can sleep more." Da Hei sat down and touched his head lovingly.

The child, who was only fifteen years old, was his neighbor. The family was originally from Qingzhou, and after fleeing to Jizhou, they joined Mintun.

After joining the army in Tobuyang last year, his father died of illness, and his fifteen-year-old son immediately picked up a spear.

"Uncle, did the rebels beat us because they didn't have anything to eat?" Daikoku shook his head. He didn't know how to answer.

But he knew that the rebels were not fighting Jizhou for food.

"We have also been plagued, and they have taken away our food. What do we eat? The stick closed his eyes and said in a daze,

"When are we going to have a good life?" Da Hei looked up at the dark Yellow River, listened intently to the sound of the waves, and sighed softly.

Team leader Huang Tong walked over slowly. Huang Tong was originally the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and was later captured by Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou Army and became the Youzhou Army, and soon he was captured by the Northern Xinjiang Army and became the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Now he has a home in Dongbu Yang, married his mother-in-law and had children. While the days were getting better, the rebels came.

He was so angry that he stood on the riverbank every day and yelled.

"Big black, can't sleep?" Huang Tong stretched out his leg and kicked Da Hei, laughing and teasing,

"Miss your mother-in-law?" He is very familiar with Dahei, and these hundred soldiers are all from the same tunli. When he was fighting, he was the leader of this group of men, and when he was not fighting, he took this hundred soldiers to plant crops in the fields.

"Yes, I'm getting older, but I'm thinking more." Da Hei laughed,

"You can't sleep either?"

"Not only do I miss my mother-in-law, I miss my children, I also miss those cows." Huang Tong patted his chest and said,

"I can't sleep, I can't sleep every day......" Then he cursed hatefully, and then sat down across from the big black and began.

If the cattle don't die well, the autumn planting in the second half of the year will be very troublesome, and we can count on those cows to plough the land.

Da Hei chatted with him for a few words, but his heart became more and more uneasy, and his eyes looked at the dark river from time to time.

"What's wrong with you? What to see? Da Hei didn't speak, but stood up with a solemn expression and listened attentively, and then sniffed the air vigorously.

"Daiko, what's wrong?" Huang Tong also stood up. Although Da Hei never said that he had fought in the Northern Xinjiang Army for seven years and had followed the general to fight in the desert, Da Hei's skillful and superb martial arts and familiarity with various battle formations made Huang Tong and the other soldiers in the team very admired.

"Da Hei, we are ten miles away from the ferry here, even if the enemy wants to cross the river, he will not choose this broken place." Huang Tong said nonchalantly.

"Quick, make the fire bigger...... Dahei said, quickly rushing to the nearby fire, leaning over to pick up the firewood and throwing it in.

The fire immediately increased, and although it was possible to see a little farther away, nothing was found. Suddenly, Da Hei's face changed drastically, and he cried out hoarsely,

"Hurry up, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking......" The cry tore through the night in an instant, terrifying. The soldiers sleeping on the embankment woke up suddenly, and looked around blankly.

Da Hei rushed to the stick in a few steps, grabbed his collar, and dragged him to run,

"Hide under the embankment, hide under the embankment...... dozens of soldiers didn't think about it, and rushed down the embankment with rolling and climbing.

The piercing roar of "...... Boom" came from far and near, thrilling. Huang Tong ran at the end, he kept looking back, and finally the moment he rolled down the embankment, he saw the sky full of long arrows obscuring the twinkling starry sky.

The drums of war resounded through the night. On the embankment on the north bank of the Yellow River, piles of flames rose into the air, like a roaring fire dragon.

In an instant, it flew over ten miles, lighting up the night sky. On the surface of the Yellow River, countless boats and rafts are full of heavily armed soldiers, riding the wind and waves, roaring.

Huang Tongyi smashed his fist to the ground, and roared wildly: "Copy the guy, give me a ...... to fight to the death" The frightened soldiers lay dead under the embankment, eager to bury all their bodies in the ground, and they didn't hear Huang Tong's screams at all.

Several soldiers who had been hit by arrows clung to their wounds and cried out in pain. Its poignant voice is creepy.

The stick curled up in a ball, and the great fear made him unbearable, and he broke down and wept bitterly. A few chiefs ran back and forth under the embankment, shouting incessantly.

A dozen soldiers who were about to flee into the night were dragged back. The arrows were shooting like rain, endlessly.

Da Hei held his shield and quietly stuck his head out to look at the river. The surface of the river is densely packed with all enemies.

Daikoku gasped. It's really unlucky, why did the Yanzhou army choose this place to cross the river?

Lei Zhong walked out of the big tent, looked at the fire that lit up half of the night sky in the distance, and shouted excitedly,

"It's finally here, I thought you'd hide until the fall."

"Give the order to the troops to retreat into the city." The heralds standing aside suddenly complied, and galloped away one after another.

"Urgently tell Lord Gao Ran, ask him to send an iron horse to answer along the road." Then Lei remounted his horse, turned back to the guards who were waiting in formation, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to the front, and see who is the first to cross the Yellow River today." Xiahoudun strode up the embankment.

Hundreds of paces ahead, the assault army of Yanzhou was fighting bloodily with the Jizhou army that came to support from all directions, and the fierce fighting was deafening.

Xiahoudun looked around, waved his hand and said, "Tell Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Yu Ban to speed up the speed of crossing the river and quickly advance towards Dongwuyang." ”

"My lord, the Jizhou army is fiercely blocked, you better wait here for a while." One of his subordinates saw that Xiahoudun was going to continue to move forward, and hurriedly stopped him.

"What are you afraid of, the front is just the Tuntian soldiers in Jizhou, and they are vulnerable." Xiahoudun walked to the fire, and while talking, he took off his combat boots and poured the river water that remained in his boots on the fire.

"Although we have never fought head-on with the Northern Xinjiang Army, with our elite in Yanzhou, we can definitely kill them to the ground." The Great Black flew up and kicked the corpse of the enemy, and then followed with a sharp roar of spear, stabbing into the enemy's chest,

"Little stick, follow me, raise the shield, raise it ......" The stick turned pale, held the shield in both hands, and followed closely behind the big black.

His spear was thrown on the riverbank, his sword was lost in the run, and the shield was snatched from the enemy and stuffed into his hand.

Several enemies saw that Da Hei had killed more than a dozen people in a row, and they were very fierce, and they all rushed up.

"When ......" There was a loud bang, and the big black round shield was swung up, smashing the enemy head-on, and the war knife in his hand penetrated the chest of another enemy in this short moment.

"Get out of ......" Da Hei roared angrily, raised his foot and kicked the screaming enemy, his body leaned back, and the sword slashed behind with a trace of blood.

The stick was dumbfounded, watching a head scream in the air, and the shield in his hand hung down involuntarily.

The spear burst into the air. The big black eyes were about to crack, and he stepped on the corpse of the enemy and flew into the air,

"Little stick, raise your shield......" The stick opened its mouth wide and looked at the bloody tip of the spear with a look of despair.

"Die." The black sword plunged into the enemy's back, and the soaring body knocked the enemy out with incredible force.

The tip of the spear grazed the neck of the stick and flew into the air with a bead of blood. The stick screamed in horror and rolled over and fell to the ground.

"Let's go, let's go......" Da Hei pulled him up and shouted repeatedly,

"Run back, run quickly......" Wang Shi led his men and horses to retreat quickly. Lei Zhong came on his horse and asked in a loud voice, "Who is crossing the river?" ”

"It's Xiahoudun's traitor." Wang Shi gritted his teeth like teeth,

"I'm going to fight back."

"Pull back first." Lei Zhong waved his hand and said,

"When we get to Tobu Castle, we'll beat him again. Have all the people withdrawn? ”

"No, Banyun's men and horses are entangled by the enemy and can't be withdrawn." Wang Shi shouted,

"I'm going to save them." Chong said categorically.

"My lord, those are our own brothers." Wang Shi was extremely sad and indignant,

"You give me a hundred, and I will rescue them."

"You take the men and horses and withdraw first, and I will rescue them." Thunder raised his spear and looked back and shouted,

"Brothers, kill, kill with me......" The shield shattered, and the big black flew upside down and fell to the ground.

Two spears stabbed straight down with intense blood. Huang Tong, who was a few steps away, exclaimed, and threw the spear in his hand.

The "big black ......" stick stopped,

"Uncle......" Stick's eyes were red, and he suddenly ran, like a mad beast, howling all the way, using his thin body as a weapon, and slammed into the enemy.

"Puff ......" Huang Tong threw a spear like a sharp arrow, piercing the enemy. The other spear paused slightly before plunging into Daikoku's body, as the frenzied stick rushed towards it with its bare hands.

It was at this moment that the Great Black grabbed the tip of the enemy's spear. The stick collided with the enemy, and like a wild beast, he bit the enemy's nose with one bite.

Daikoku leaped to his feet, grabbed the stick in one hand, and plunged the spear into the enemy's chest with the other.

"Let's go, let's go......" In the dark night, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front of the battlefield. The sound of hooves was dense, flickering left and right, and occasionally there were long horn sounds one after another, as if several iron horsemen were killing from different directions.

Xiahoudun decisively ordered to withdraw from the battle, stick to the embankment, and block the northern iron cavalry with a dense array of arrows.

Ban Yun, Huang Tong and others took advantage of this rare opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield as quickly as possible with the remaining more than 100 people.

With a spear in one hand and a torch in the other, Lei Zhong stood quietly in the darkness.

"Lord Lei......" Ban Yun and Huang Tong and the others greeted them in surprise. Lei Zhong smiled slightly, and the torch in his hand shook continuously.

"Lord Lei, our iron rider has arrived?" Huang Tong asked excitedly.

"Here we are." Lei Zhong laughed,

"Tomorrow, we will fight the traitors to the death under the city of Dongwuyang." It didn't take long for dozens of guards to rush out from different places.

"Is that you?" Ban Yun said in surprise,

"I thought the Iron Cavalry was coming."

"Hmph......" Lei Zhong looked at the bright distance and sneered,

"To deal with Xiahoudun's kind of goods, thirty horses are enough." Liyang. On the surface of the Yellow River, sails are like forests.

Yu Yao, the lieutenant colonel of the Northern Army, stood on the city tower, looking at the slowly approaching ships on the river, murderous.

Yuan Shao, you're finally here. Jump to
