At dusk, the sky was full of red glow, like a fire, passing through the dim sky and reflecting half of the sky. A flock of black crows hovered in the sky, croaking desolately, blood-red eyes staring at the city that was about to fall.

The crows sensed a sense of fear in the sky above the city below, and were waiting for the feast of the crows to begin.

Suzhou, Shenwu River.

At this time, under the city gate, the crowd of people who fled in a hurry crowded together, and everyone with frightened looks and desperate silence gathered like a black ant array, surging along the dim twilight of the vast wilderness. Even if he brought his family and dragged his children and daughters, his face showed endless uneasiness and panic, but no one dared to pant loudly, as if a louder voice would attract countless strong Qin iron horsemen to trample and slaughter.

The catastrophe is coming, and human life is like a mustard.

"Who said that the people in troubled times are the most miserable? They at least have a chance to escape, hmph, according to a certain point of view, these people really don't know how many times stronger than our Qiu Ba. A soldier with a spear in his arms, leaning against the corner of the wall, glancing at the crowd of refugees, mockingly snorted at his companion.

Behind his uneasiness, the word "Shenwu Chuan" is engraved in the middle above the gate of the city tower, which is simple and cangsang.

Another soldier shifted around. Leaned in and whispered, "Did you hear that?" It is said that this time the king of Qin, Li Jing, sent Zhang Zimian, the general of Zuo Weiwei of the imperial court. Known as a famous general of the imperial court. He once negotiated with Cui An for the confession of Huangchao Wang Xianzhi, and in the southeast, he personally beheaded Wang Xianzhi, and killed more than 30,000 grass thieves in one burst, majestic and vicious. Now that he has defected to Li Jing and become the marshal of the expedition to the west, he is anxious to use our head as a capital for promotion. stain his robes red with our blood. If our Shenwuchuan falls into his hands, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. ”

The soldier before sighed: "Hey, no matter who comes to the Qin Domain, we will accept it, Li Jing came to Daibei twice before and after, which time he didn't get three feet of shaving, as if the goose had plucked his feathers, not to mention the army, it was just ordinary people, he had to take it away, even the cattle and sheep were not spared." Our king fought Li Jing twice. At one time, almost all the troops were wiped out, and they fled to Mobei. This is the second time. was almost wiped out again, and he hid directly for more than half a year before he came out. Now Li Siyuan is reversed, leading the Qin army into Jin, hey, we are the unlucky. ”

The latter soldier exclaimed, "Really? Didn't you say that the king invited 100,000 Khitan iron horsemen to go south to help clean up the portal? Didn't Li Siyuan just flee all the way to Yunzhou? ”

"Li Siyuan didn't flee, he withdrew. I heard Ma Dasco say yesterday that when he sent wine to Captain Wang, I heard that Li Siyuan was afraid that his subordinates would turn against him again, so he simply discussed it with the Qin army, and he took his men and horses to Yunzhou to help prevent the Hu people, and Shuozhou handed it over to the Qin army to deal with the people of the King of Jin. ”

"So what are we doing here?"

"Of course." A big man who looked like an officer suddenly walked over, stared at the two Shatuo soldiers with a frosty face, and said solemnly word by word: "Li Sizhao Li Siyuan betrayed the King of Jin, but we have always been loyal to the King." Now Li Siyuan colluded with the Qin army to come, he ran to Yunzhou, but we are just about to occupy this Shenwuchuan and hold it, waiting for King Hou's soldiers and horses to come over. ”

The Shenwu River is in the south of Shuozhou to the north of Daizhou, and Yanmen Pass is to the south.

Li Siyuan was besieged by his subordinates at Yanmen Pass, abandoned the two states of the Xin Dynasty, and withdrew here. After discussing with the Qin army, Li Keyong continued to retreat north to Yunzhou, and fought with the Qin army to meet the Hu people in the south. Zhang Zimian personally went south to Shuozhou, preparing to clear out the mutinous Shatuo soldiers and horses.

The land of Daibei is now in chaos, full of wandering soldiers, a mutinous soldier from Shuozhou originally planned to go south to Yanmen, but after passing by this place, the captain above planned to stay here, occupy Shenwu River and wait for the Yanmen soldiers to go north, and then it can be regarded as a great achievement.

The lieutenant was loyal to Li Keyong, and he couldn't help but be a little lucky, thinking that the Qin army didn't come over so quickly, and this place was extremely close to Yanmen Pass, so it was a good opportunity to get a chance.

The Shatuo soldiers at the gate of the city were silent to each other, and secretly scolded their bosses in their hearts.

At this time, a commotion faintly broke out by the pushing city gate.

A roaring wagon suddenly rumbled and galloped, crashing into the panicked crowd. The horse, which had been strapped to the cart, screamed incessantly, and rushed down the main road towards the city gate. The crowd retreated to both sides like a tide, and just as the carriage was about to rush through the narrow city gate, the burning carriage suddenly exploded violently, with a loud sound that shook the sky, and countless broken wood and rubble flew and injured a group of fleeing people who had no time to escape.

Everyone's eyes at the city gate were drawn to this sudden event.

Suddenly, a figure jumped up to the city gate tower like lightning, and neatly held the crossbow machine and pulled the wrench one after another, shooting nine soldiers in one fell swoop. Then when the general Sha Tuo under the banner on the city gate tower reacted, he had already pulled out an extremely sharp fast sword on his back.

The sword aura is like frost, fast as lightning.

"Stop him!" A trace of fear flashed in the general's eyes, and he could see that this was a kendo master, and his attacks were as fast as thunder and lightning, and his moves were deadly.

Several soldiers shouted and raised their guns, and the swordsman rushed forward, the first sword slashing the throat of the soldier who rushed at the front, the second sword severing the leg of one soldier, and the third, the long sword, plunged directly into the soldier's chest.

The soldier gripped the blade in both hands, as if trying to stop the sword from piercing, but the tip of the sword was already showing from his back, and blood was dripping from it.

The Assassin did not draw his sword again, but reached down with both hands, and removed two more seven-hole dogleg knives from his thighs.

She held her knives in both hands, and her steps were swift. All the way through the flowers, like butterflies. Wait for her to flash away. Left behind only corpses and half-dead soldiers with missing arms and legs.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that it was impossible to escape, the general Shatuo roared angrily and asked the last sentence.

The female assassin leapt into the air like a tiger pounced, and the twin knives in her hands plunged from the neck of the Shatuo general's ribcage.

Blood splattered, and the eyes of General Shatuo gradually drifted.

"Whoever dares to fiercely attack the might of the King of Qin, even if he is far away, he will be punished, and even if he is strong, he will be killed!"

Sha Tuo spurted blood from his collar, trying to keep his eyes on the female assassin. "Who the hell are you!"

"When I arrived at the underworld, I saw the king of Hades and told him that you died under Murong Xue's sword!" After saying this, Murong Xue withdrew her twin swords, jumped into the air violently, and jumped down from the four-zhang high city tower of Shenwu River, and when she was about to land, she suddenly threw out a flying rope in her hand and grabbed the battlements behind her. landed unharmed and then vanished.

The Shatuo soldiers at the city gate had not recovered from the shock at this time. They couldn't believe that someone broke into the city garrisoned by 3,000 people in broad daylight, jumped onto the city gate tower, and in an instant, killed more than 20 soldiers, and beheaded the main general of 3,000 soldiers and horses on the city gate tower, and then drifted away.

Their eyes were still staring at the city gate tower, and under the confused twilight, a bloody atmosphere scattered on the Shenwu River, and the rolled Shatuo banner suddenly fell like a fallen leaf rolled up by the autumn wind.

The soldiers looked at each other: "The main general is dead like this, what now?" ”

Do you want to go after the Assassins? Several lieutenants were stunned, their eyes reflected the dark sky, and they looked at the vast wilderness, and there was silence.

Several Captain Shatuo had not yet recovered from their fear, when suddenly there was smoke and dust in front of them, and the sound of hooves was like thunder.

The expressions of the captains of Shatuo changed greatly, "It's not good, I didn't expect the Qin army to come so quickly!" Before the words fell, I saw the fleeing Shatuo people who helped the old and the young, and in an instant they were scattered like ant colonies washed away by a big water. Wherever the rushing Qin army's forward iron cavalry passed, the sound of howling and crying for help was endless, and many old news of Shatuo people who had not been able to dodge died tragically under the hooves of the horses whistling and galloping.

A young man at the gate of the city exclaimed, "Doesn't it mean that the Qin army is the most merciful, but the teacher of the king's benevolence and righteousness, and never harms the people?" ”

The Shatuo Captain who had reprimanded them earlier said with a dark face: "No matter how merciful the Qin army is, it is only for the Tang people. And we, the Shatuo people, are just aliens in their eyes, not human beings at all. Boy, see clearly, the only thing the Shatuo people can believe in is themselves, and only the sword in their hands can protect our people from slaughter. ”

In the city, the Shatuo soldiers were desperately beating the alarm bell.

The alarm bell rang out like the wail of a wounded wolf before it died.

I saw that there were nearly 1,000 cavalry of the Qin army coming on, one by one like wolves and tigers, red helmets and red armor, spears like forests, sabers stuffed with snow, and the momentum was like thunder. More than 1,000 cavalry marched quickly, except for the sound of the iron hooves of war horses trampling the earth, there was no breath, and the discipline was so strict that it was amazing.

At the front of this team, a big flag flutters in the wind, and the book flies and rides, and the back is a flag, and the word Yang is written.

The face of the captain Shatuo, who was directing the people to retreat, changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Flying cavalry, it's the flying cavalry army that comes, Yang Shihou Yang Tianxiong's flying cavalry army!" "This captain once participated in the battle of Junduguan with Li Siyuan. That time, they first easily captured the military capital pass from Li Congwei. But less than a day later, it was Yang Shihou and Fu Xian who raided and took away the military capital pass. Li Siyuan led them to fight desperately and bloodily, wanting to hold out until the next day, when Liu's reinforcements arrived. But in the end, under the attack of the Flying Cavalry and the Brigade Cavalry, they only held for half a night before they were defeated and fled.

Now that he saw the banner of the Flying Cavalry and Yang Shihou again, Shatuo Dahan felt bitter in his mouth, knowing that they would never be able to hold Shenwu River. They only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and at this time, the main general has just been assassinated in public, and the morale of the army is weak, and the Qin army's vanguard has already been killed, and it is Li Jing's disciple general like Yang Shihou who came.

Just by looking at the march of this vanguard, you can know the way, no wonder the Qin army has been invincible in recent years, just looking at these well-trained cavalry in front of them, it is not weaker than the Shatuo army, which was known as the strongest cavalry in the world back then. Seeing that the Qin soldiers were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that the large troops behind were also coming in a steady stream, I was afraid that after a while, the follow-up army would be killed, and their 3,000 people would not be able to even fight the waves, and they would be drowned under the iron hooves of the Qin army.

Several other lieutenants were still shouting orders, directing their soldiers to close the door and prepare to resist the city and wait for reinforcements. The strong man shook his head, sighed, and said to the young man: "Boy, if you don't want to die here right away, follow me!" After saying that, he turned over his horse without looking back, and walked south around the city.

The two galloped for more than an hour, the twilight became thicker, and they ran for another hour, only to see a small ruined temple under the moonlight, silent as nothing.

The strong man stopped his horse, jumped down and said, "Just rest here for a while, and then we will hurry to Yanmen." ”

The young man was a little worried: "The Qin army is behind, let's stop at this time, what if they catch up?" ”

"Look at you kid is very smart, how can you ask such a stupid question? The more you have to rush, the more you have to control your speed. If you just run wildly, you will run fast at first, but it won't take long for the horse to be wasted. If you control your speed and take proper rest and feed your horse, you will be able to run farther. ”

The strong man asked the boy to fetch water and drink the horse, and he carried his bow out of the house. After a while, the boy drank two horses and returned with two large bags of water, and the strong man had already returned with two fat rabbits. The two were about to light a fire, but suddenly heard the sound of hooves outside the temple and the noise of people, so they couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly hid aside.

I only heard many people shouting and shouting, and one of them said: "Damn, I ran for two hours in one breath, and my anger is almost gone, let's take a breath here." ”

The strong man heard that they all spoke with a shatuo accent, and the voice was very familiar, and he was hesitating, when the temple door had been kicked open, and a group of people broke in in a hurry. The young man peeked in, but saw that the people who came were all in the black clothes of Shatuo soldiers, and most of them were bloodstained, and they were very embarrassed. The first man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a full beard, and a rough appearance, and the young man was overjoyed when he saw him, and immediately jumped out from behind.

When the group saw that the small temple was silent, they thought that there was no one, but when they suddenly saw a person jumping out, they couldn't help but panic, and they retreated sharply with a loud noise, while they were using all kinds of blades to defend.

"Brother Mi, it's me." The man at the head saw the young man's face clearly by the moonlight, and he was also surprised, and shouted: "Brother Kang, you are still alive, Lao Mi, I thought you had been cut off by the Qin people to ask for credit." ”

The young man was a soldier in the Shatuo army, his family was a Sogdian merchant, and he lived in the north of the dynasty, and the last time Li Siyuan was conscripted, he was conscripted into the army at the age of fifteen. However, this time their captain turned against Li Siyuan, and he had to follow all the way south. That big man is the head of their capital, he usually reads him young, and he can read and write, so he takes care of him very much.

The young man surnamed Sogdian Kang stepped forward and asked, "Midutou, how did you come here?" ”

Mi Dutou snorted, and said dejectedly: "Shenwuchuan has been lost, let's escape all the way." ”

Kang Ping'an was shocked when he heard this, from the appearance of the Qin army to this time, but in two hours, three thousand Shatuo soldiers guarded Shenwuchuan City, and they were defeated?

"How can it be so fast?"

Mi Dutou sighed and said: "Then the Qin army only released one round of arrows, and then threw a few more thunders, and the damn one immediately opened the West City to lead the Qin army into the city." As soon as the West City Gate opened, Shenwu River also fell. ‘

This is the big man who also walked out from behind, and said in a deep voice: "The eight cities are the Qin army, which has already infiltrated the Shenwu River and opened the West City Gate during the chaos, and our Shatuo does not have so many soft bones." What about the others? ”

Mi Dutou recognized that this big man was one of the captains among the three thousand people, and his eyes were a little surprised, but he still hated and said: "Three thousand men and horses, it is estimated that they are almost dead, and as soon as the city is broken, it can only be trampled by the iron hooves of the Qin army." A few of us escaped as quickly as we saw the opportunity. ”

Everyone in the temple was gloomy, and the three thousand people disappeared in a blink of an eye. Next, can they stop the iron hooves of the Qin army? Datong has been lost, can Yanmen still be guarded? For a while, everyone didn't have the slightest confidence in their hearts, and they sighed and sighed. (To be continued......)
