On April 14, the Qin army stationed on the border between Great Zhou and Great Qin received the news that the eldest prince had been ambushed, and they were immediately in a hurry.

The guards stationed here hurriedly sent someone to inform the rear of the news, and as soon as they received the order from the rear, they did not dare to delay, and immediately used their swords to storm the border of the Great Zhou.

The defenders were ready for heavy casualties, however, everything went smoothly and strangely. After conquering the border pass of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Qin army found that it had almost become an empty shell, only more than a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people survived here, and when the Qin army attacked, they almost did not resist at all, and all surrendered.

Then, Qin learned that as early as ten days ago, the main force of the Zhou army guarding here had left here and did not know where to go.

Now that the Zhou State has opened up its borders, the Qin State will naturally not be polite, cross the border, and directly swagger into the Great Zhou, all the way unimpeded.

On April 16, the vanguard of the Qin army, which was composed entirely of cavalry, was the first to arrive in Heyin County.

When the vanguard of the Qin army saw the tragic situation in Heyin County, his heart sank.

The city walls collapsed in many places, the city gates were broken, flames burned in many parts of the city, and black smoke shrouded the sky over the county.

Obviously, the county seat has been breached, but I don't know if the eldest prince has been able to escape.

As they got closer, the tragic situation of this county town became more clear to everyone's eyes.

Skinny people were hanged from trees, swaying in the wind, allowing birds to peck at their bodies.

There were wild beasts in the forest, and as soon as the army approached, countless crows screamed and flew into the sky, hovering like black clouds.

"Ahh

The canopy of the trees trembled, the fallen leaves flew away, and a black shadow flashed and disappeared quickly.

The rancid smell lingers on the tip of the nose and refuses to dissipate for a long time. In the oppressive atmosphere, the sudden appearance and disappearance of dark shadows makes people tremble.

It's daylight, and it's still a sunny afternoon, but the soldiers still feel the bitter cold, and the cold is from the inside out, making people shiver.

The county town in front of it, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Qin army, is clearly a dead city, and it is likely that the Zhou army broke through the city and went on a killing spree.

The vanguard general of the Qin army couldn't help but wonder: "Are they crazy? Why do they do this?"

This is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people here are the fathers and villagers of the Zhou army. Robbery is easy to say, but the slaughter of the city is really incomprehensible. And the questions of the vanguard generals of the Qin army were naturally not answered, and the others were also confused.

There is weirdness everywhere here, but even so, the Qin army still entered the city.

Contrary to what was expected, there were no dead bodies in the city. White bones can occasionally be seen in the ruins, but they are not dense. Soon, Zhou Jun met the people here.

They were men and women, all in ragged clothes and with hideous faces. The eyes were as red as blood, and the inside were like cobwebs.

They were either armed with wooden sticks and kitchen knives, or empty-handed, like mad dogs, roaring and rushing out from all corners.

After many days, war broke out again in Heyin County.

Soon, the Qin army retreated from the county seat, those people were all crazy, and one by one the strength was terrifying, they did not know the pain of death, although there was no armor, and there was no discipline formation, but in the street fighting melee, the lethality was amazing.

As soon as the vanguard of the Qin army withdrew from the county seat, he received a report from Tanmalai that he found a place that was wrong in the east, and there might be clues about the eldest prince.

Everyone hurried to it, and it was a slightly raised flat land, and the dirt on the ground was all new soil. There was a pit on it that had been dug out by the beast, revealing the white bones.

It's only April, the weather is not hot, on the contrary, it is still very cool, and you need to cover yourself with a thin blanket when you sleep at night, otherwise you may get sick. According to common sense, there are not many mosquitoes in such weather. But here, there are mosquitoes in the sky.

With the excavation of the Qin army, a corpse was dug up, and suddenly, the surrounding Qin army soldiers had red eyes.

These people, although they were not wearing armor, and there was no clothing or markings on their bodies to distinguish, they still recognized this miserable white corpse as their comrades.

Thousands of people were buried alive here.

And at this moment, a hundred miles south of Heyin County, more than a dozen people walked in embarrassment, all of them were wearing the armor of the old Qin army, and their bodies were covered with stains and scratches.

One of the strong men walked in the middle with a man on his back and a steel spear, protected on the left and right.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves ahead, and a knight who was also in the armor of the old Qin army appeared in front of everyone.

He turned and dismounted, ran a few paces, came to the crowd, and shouted, "Ahead, there is a village right ahead." ”

When the strong man with the person on his back heard this, he hurriedly handed over the person on his back to a person on the right, crossed a few people in front of him, and asked in front, "Boyu, can you see clearly, is there a Zhou army in the village." ”

It turned out that this knight's name was Boyu, and he only heard Boyu say excitedly: "General Rong, my subordinates can see very clearly that there is no Zhou army in the village." ”

The General Rong in Boyu's mouth naturally refers to the strong man who asks questions. I saw General Rong excitedly pause the steel gun in his hand: "Great, let's go quickly, when we get to the village, we can rest." ”

The group hurried on the road, passed through a forest, and suddenly their eyes lit up.

A peaceful village sits in front of it. A shallow river came from afar and flowed quietly in front of the village, and several village women squatted by the river, not knowing what to talk about, laughing and washing their clothes.

On both sides of the river, there are patches of farmland, which are divided by vertical and horizontal fields. In the middle of the farmland, farmers are bending over and busy.

Behind the village, outside the farmland, there are wide grasslands one after another. The children led the cattle and sheep to the meadow, and the cattle and sheep lowered their heads and ate leisurely, while they bent down and quickly cut the grass with their sickles, and stuffed the green weeds into the basket.

Everything is so peaceful.

General Rong handed over the unconscious eldest prince to Boyu, who put the eldest prince on horseback, and then led the horse into a forest, where the fragrance of flowers was permeated, and the pink flowers of the tree shook slightly, and a few petals fell, one of which fluttered on Boyu's helmet.

Young Boyu glanced at the village in the distance, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his heart.

He also hesitated to tell the general about the existence of this village. But in the end, he chose to complete his mission.

General Rong gestured, and the other dozen or so old Qin troops scattered in all directions, bent their waists, using trees and weeds to cover their figures, and quietly advanced little by little, like a sparse net, covering the village.

But the villagers didn't know anything and were still busy with their own business.

In the field, a farmer who was full of wind and frost and showed his old state stretched his waist, rubbed his sore old waist, and couldn't help but curse the old man in the village who lacked morality, the land rent was so high that he worked desperately year after year, but the family's food stock was still not enough to eat, and there was always a period of time every year to make the stomach suffer grievances.

Suddenly, he seemed to see something and rubbed his eyes. Then, something seemed to shoot in the distance, only to hear a whoosh, a feeling of danger came to his face, his whole body stiffened, his neck ached, and then, the strength in his body quickly lost.

The old farmer was a little more enlightened, and he clutched his neck, and let out a cry in his throat, and fell on his back, drowning in the green of the earth, and only one hand was raised upright, and came out of the green, as if trying to grasp something.

Eventually, the hand fell and disappeared into the green.
