The wind blows through the forest, rattling, the red background of the golden eagle flag is shaking among the undulating foothills, under the Yin Mountain in the north of the five plains, the army out of the mountain pass is gathering in the sound of the trumpet, the light brown short curly hair Freitensis, about forty years old, looks handsome and calm in the eyes of Westerners, looking at the vast field of vision after leaving the mountain, he sighed in his heart The vastness of the East, when he passed through the Western Regions, he also sighed that the vastness of that place and the large and small countries crowded there, and later he knew that far away in the East, The empire named Han once controlled many countries there, and he had a lot of respect for a powerful country, but the further he came east, the more he knew......

Respect is slowly peeling off.

"The Eastern Empire is in chaos, and it can't afford to take care of such a place..... the consuls here won't have too many troops in their hands." Freitensis smiled gracefully at one of the captives bound next to him, "If you want to return the Stephanie brothers and sisters from the Han officials and bring the news of the chaos in the East back to Rome, my white robe will be changed into a purple border and become a true nobleman." ”

When he said this, the captive was a soldier under Stephanie's command, who knew some Chinese, had many scars on his body, looked down at the ground, and spoke in Roman: "Commander, pride blinds people, the Eastern Empire is chaotic, but the army is still strong, you and your army will not have a chance to win." ”

"Rome is a strong, civilized nation, and it will not attack Seris (a transliterated name for the Eastern Empire)." Freitensis glanced gracefully at the captive, "....... But Rome was not only civilized and polite, but also had strong muscles and would not be afraid of any army. ”

Then his eyes were raised and he looked far ahead, where was the city of the Orientals that might appear in the news, and his words and demeanor were heroic.

His heroic momentum did not last long.

In front of the stretched military formation, two panicked figures were fleeing back, conveying the fact that the other six Roman soldiers were killed by the people of the Eastern Empire, "Commander...... hostile to us. "Even the old man will come at us with a sword!" "Urmita: They were beaten to death by an old man with a stick......"

The voices of the scramble to report are telling that something is being hidden. Silently, Freitensis took out a roll of sheepskin from his bosom, densely written in Roman script, some of which were crossed out, presumably the armies he had defeated since his expedition, and at the end, he wrote Cylius.

"......If possible, I don't want to fight with the soldiers of the Eastern Empire, I know a little bit about this country, it was once really powerful......" Freitensis put away the parchment roll and raised his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there was a murderous aura condensed on his burly body.

"But the soldiers of the empire should die heroically on the battlefield, not be killed by people in a despicable and insidious way...... As the general of the Empire, the commander, and the highest of this legion...... I must get credit back for the dead soldiers, they deserve it. ”

His voice was not high, but the herald cavalry around him galloped out, the trumpeter blew the horns, and the captives looked up at the smiling general, as if they had seen a proud eagle in their eyes, and the marching formations around him began to change formations under the guidance of the standard-bearers, and under the guidance of the fleeing soldiers, they drove towards the still noisy village, setting off a huge wave of blood.

After receiving the news that a village had been slaughtered by foreign troops, the defenders frantically stepped out of the city, seeing the toppled walls, burning roofs, and crucified corpses...... Soon after, they catch up with each other, make contact, talk, and then fight in the field......

The news of the battle spread like wings, and it was sent to Jiuyuan County in the west through a fast horse, and to Yunzhong County in the east, which passed through Zhiyang, and more than 280 miles to the east. At this time, it was already night when Yunzhong County received the news.

The army was stationed outside the city, and the matter of surrender in the city was basically discussed, Zhang Yang was arranged in the post house before he fell asleep, and the footsteps sounded under the eaves outside the house, and the battle situation that suddenly occurred in Wuyuan City was handed to him, opened and took a look, pinched it tightly, and carried it behind him, and couldn't help but walk back and forth in the room.

Then he stopped, opened the window and looked at the starry night sky outside, thinking of his family in Ueya-gun, and ...... A friend who was running around, after a while, he picked up the pen and ink and sat down, spread out the silk in the dim light, and the tip of the pen hovered for a while, and then fell.

To the first book.

After a long absence, Yang has left the party, and has been under the command of Gongsun Thorn Shi for two months, Yunzhong County soldiers have started, Yang can't bear to suffer this calamity in his hometown, and he has volunteered to come and persuade Yunzhong to avoid a fight in the same room, but every time he thinks of the chaos in the Central Plains, Yang always hopes that the princes from all walks of life can have this consensus, and he runs to the south first, hoping to have this thought.

At the time of the letter, there was news from Wuyuan overnight, a 20,000 Great Qin soldiers and horses were destroying the village and slaughtering my Han people, in the news, the Wuyuan soldiers and horses went out of the city and retreated, and the Great Qin army marched all the way east and no one could stop it, presumably it would not be long before it arrived in the clouds, Yang decided to take Gongsun Thorn Shi under the command of the recruit and more than 7,000 soldiers and horses to meet the enemy, even if the victory was too difficult, I could not lose the prestige of my Han man, if Feng Xian was here, I would also agree with Yang's right......

****************************

Before the content was finished, there was a knock on the door, Zhang Yang looked at the handwriting on the plain silk, sighed and blew it, and took it into his arms before going over to open the door, and an official of the post house was waiting there to bring news from outside the city.

Not long after, Zhang Yan crossed the horse and ran out of the city overnight into the military camp stationed thirty miles away, opened the tent curtain, and beckoned him in full armor to greet and sit down, and then asked: "Uncle Zhi already knows." ”

"I already know." Zhang Yang nodded.

Bang! A fist smashed on the long case, and the shaking nail leaf sounded softly, and he grinned fiercely: "Before you came, I had already sent the news to the fast horse to Dingyang, Daijun and Shanggu County, no matter who the other party is, if they dare to come to the clouds, I will fight to the death, Uncle Zhi, what do you say?!" ”

"If it's not my Han people, and they burn and rob it, they should naturally be killed, there's nothing to say." Zhang Yang held the hilt of the sword at his waist, straightened his spine, and almost roared out in a low voice: "As a Hanchen, I should be responsible for guarding the land, how can I sit idly by, and I am willing to go with the general to attack the enemy and be buried at the foot of Yin Mountain." ”

Bang!

He slammed the table again, and stood up, "That's good!" Immediately, he took the map and spread it out in front of the two of them, "I heard that the Great Qin army is mostly foot soldiers, so I think about it, they are still near Qiyang at the moment, I will go to the Black Mountain overnight to ride first, and I should be able to drag the other party on the border of Yunzhong, Uncle Zhi and the soldiers of Yunzhong County are behind, and they can probably come over the next day to form a line of defense." ”

The starry night was cold, the mighty cavalry rushed out of the camp and galloped towards the west in the stars and moon, Zhang Yang gathered the foot soldiers in the camp, and sent people to contact the officials and generals in the city to state the interests, and in the second half of the night, the three thousand county soldiers were under his command, and thousands of eyes looked over.

On horseback, the armored figure drew his sword and pointed to the west.

"All the army out—" he yelled in the night wind.

However, half a month later, Gongsun Zhi received the news that they had won the battle instead of reorganizing the soldiers and horses in Shanggu County, and he was forced to retreat towards the clouds step by step.

The bright sky became dazzling.
