V7.Chapter 36

By the end of the day, the wind and snow had stopped.

The soldiers walked out of the tent in twos and threes, moved their muscles and bones around a little, and talked in a low voice.

According to military orders, in the barracks, you can't walk around at will, let alone make noise.

At this time, Lu Li, who had slept for only one and a half hours, also opened his eyes. He first cleaned his teeth with charcoal and cold water, and then walked out of the camp.

Because it's winter and the weather is bad, it's still dark all around.

However, there are braziers every three or five feet, which can vaguely smell the faint aroma.

When Lu Li passed by, he glanced at a clay kettle on the brazier. It was bubbling. The soldiers cooked a pot of thick porridge with the leftover pork they ate last night.

It can be seen that they are very satisfied with this. After all, the harvest has been bad in recent years. Only in their dreams can they eat meat porridge. Now, meat can be seen at every meal, and it is still three meals a day.

Apart from the generals and a few on duty patrols, no one knew that a major event had happened last night——

The identity of the dead man has been confirmed. He was a soldier of the prefect in Yunzhong. He risked his life to break through and sent a message to the outside.

Morale in the city was low. The Huns often attacked in the middle of the night and sent messages with flying arrows. They used heavy money and positions to lure the people and soldiers to open the city gate. The situation was not optimistic and needed reinforcements urgently.

Therefore, Lord Ding Yuan ordered that the army start to march at dawn and must arrive at Yunzhong city within 12 hours.

Considering that the overall quality of the county soldiers is not as good as wolf riding, and they are mainly infantry, this speed is really not slow. You know, Ding Yuan's order was to rush to the border within three days. Now it's only one day.

For a time, Lu Li couldn't figure out what kind of attitude the owl hero had towards the assassin Zhang Yi.

The curtain was lifted.

Brother Zhang Liao knelt down at the table. His armor was well dressed. At the moment, he was eating breakfast. There were some soup stains on the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he was in a hurry.

"Meng Ming, sit down and eat together."

Hearing the speech, Lu Li was also polite. He took out a pottery bowl from the food box and filled it with a bowl of meat porridge.

Isatis indigotica with sufficient salt taste and dotted with tender green.

Lu Li felt satisfied to have a mouthful of hot porridge on the March.

At this time, Zhang Liao put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped out the soup stains on the corners of his mouth, and told him in a deep voice:

"Meng Ming, in every war, the Lord must rush ahead to boost morale, and his safety will be handed over to you."

Seeing this, Lu Li stopped and nodded solemnly: "promise."

Because he ate too quickly, there were some soup stains on his short beard.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao shook his head, stopped interrupting, silently picked up the bowl and added a bowl of porridge to himself.

Rest, confirm the marching route, bury the trace and assemble in a whole team.

In this way, when it was about midnight, it was dawn, and the army rushed north to help started again.

At night, five villagers who came to comfort the Army stood at the head of the city with dove headed crutches and watched them go away.

I saw the wilderness riding banners, spears and halberds like a forest. After the march was opened, it was more than ten miles long, with knights in the front and footmen in the back.

Song Xian, the Duke of Zuo Yu, led six or seven hundred knights to ride their horses and make a way in the front. Behind him, nearly a thousand soldiers walked forward with spears.

In the distance, smoke and dust filled the air, and the military capacity was very prosperous.

……

Yunzhong county is becoming brighter than ever.

Countless fire snakes jumped out from the cracks in the tiles, devoured everything madly, made a sound of avoiding the inside, and the houses collapsed one after another.

Then the fire broke out and black smoke poured into the sky.

The city, which has stood on the border for hundreds of years, was shrouded in fire, the ground cracked and the walls melted in the lick of fire.

At the moment, Kim's wearing the Jin Xian crown that can only be worn by the assassin, with a copper official seal hanging around his waist, looked at the county city that was about to turn into a sea of fire and laughed proudly.

meanwhile.

Many county people hiding in secret rooms and walls poured out, and they were all in a mess.

In the meantime, there were men and women, old and young. Most people were still on fire in their skirts. They ran away and screamed bitterly.

Many children could not bear the choking smoke, so they took off their strength and tripped to the ground. They could only call their parents and cry bitterly until they were swallowed up by the fire.

As for those people who escaped by chance, a complex and unspeakable emotion filled their hearts.

I can't wait to eat the Xiongnu people in front of me, and I'm eager to live at the same time.

"Male Ding quan..."

At this time, Kim thought of the warriors who died during the siege. He raised his hand and said, "forget it, bring those children who are not as tall as wheels back to the tribe."

"All the other men were killed."

"Fill the well."

For a moment, the sound of horses' hoofs was urgent.

The splashed blood became more and more smelly under the high temperature. The disheveled Hun cavalry grabbed pieces of bodies and threw them into the water well.

Many Hun soldiers didn't know why the leader did it, but just carried out the orders.

And Kim was too lazy to explain.

This is his method from the book of war. It can pollute the water source, spread the plague and cause trouble to the Han army who came to support.

"I'm a craftsman!"

"Don't kill me!"

A cry rang out.

Unfortunately, the Hun soldier didn't understand the Han language. He just thought he was begging for mercy. With a ferocious smile like a prairie wolf on his face, he raised his spear and sent it forward.

Dang!

Sparks splashed everywhere.

A flying arrow flew the bronze spear.

Kim's voice sounded with a strange tone, but it was really Chinese: "what can you do, casting weapons or smelting iron?"

"The villain is a mason."

"What will happen?"

"Build a city and repair the city wall a few years ago..."

The cry of tragedy sounded, and an iron arrow pierced the Mason's chest.

Kim put away the crossbow and said, "drag it to fill the well."

The Hun soldier with a bronze spear was stunned for a moment before he recovered. He quickly forked up the Mason's body and threw it into the well with a plop.

"What are you thinking?"

Kim turned and looked at the young man in black kneeling aside.

Hearing the speech, Du Quan raised his head and showed a bloody face: "I heard that Shan Yu treated talented Han people with courtesy."

In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, there were records of Han people fleeing to the Huns. These people were called "Vietnamese refugees".

A considerable part of them were highly valued by Shan Yu and even became a member of the ruling class of the Huns. For example, the captured Yanmen Weishi in Ma Yi's plot was granted the title of heavenly king, and Li Ling was granted the title of right school king after his surrender.

"Yes, but we don't need a stonemason who can only repair the city wall." Kim played with his mechanism crossbow. "Besides, what's alone? He's a toothless wolf, no, a dog."

The tone was somber.

Hearing the speech, Du Quan humbly crawled on the ground.
