It was very dark and I couldn't see the target clearly.

The wind was strong, and there was a vague noise everywhere.

The snow is not small, the arrows are not flying far, and the accuracy is also very touching.

Even so, the two thousand Jin troops who were advancing were still in chaos.

The person holding a torch in the front row was the first to be shot and fell to the ground with a scream.

In the crowds, more torches were knocked out, and the rest were extinguished by the wind and snow.

The shouting of excitement, the creepy screams, the panicked footsteps and the messy sound of drawing the knife out of the sheath poured into Sima Yu's ears in an instant.

From his perspective, it was really dark and chaotic around him. I didn’t know what happened at all, and I was confused about what to do next.

In the carriage, Wang Shu looked at him calmly, and there was no look of panic on his face.

Sima Yu felt relieved and asked subconsciously: "Huaizu, did I do something wrong? Should I get off the car and boost morale and direct the soldiers to rush to kill?"

Wang Shu was silent for a moment and said, "If the king is not Yao and Shun, how can he be right in everything?"

Sima Yu nodded repeatedly and asked, "What should I do?"

"Dole!" An arrow shot into the carriage, making a dull sound.

The noise was getting louder and louder, as if there was no distinction between enemies and us in the dark, and someone had already cut and killed people around, subconsciously attacking those who were approaching him.

"I just made a fortune in my heart, and it was auspicious." Wang Shu said.

The screams were getting closer and closer, and Sima Yu was almost crying in an anxious voice, and he said in a stronger tone: "Huaizu, what is the plan to retreat to the enemy now?"

"A gentleman acts according to the right path," Wang Shu said halfway, and a military academy rushed over and pulled Sima Yu off the carriage.

"King, go quickly." The military academy was surrounded by more than ten calm soldiers. They surrounded Sima Yu, knocked away the chaotic crowd, and walked towards the mountains not far away.

Wang Shu suddenly rushed out, picked up a spear from the ground, and followed closely behind Sima Yu.

And this run means that the two thousand soldiers they brought with them have completely dispersed. There may not be many deaths, but it is certain that they have dispersed. Fortunately, it is Jianyi here, and the soldiers are familiar with geography, so they will not be able to find their way back.

Behind Sima Yu and others, Qiu Xiaozhong, the governor of Huangjia Camp, climbed a stone trunk, and his whole body was trembling with cold.

When he was docking, he fell into the water. After being pulled up by his comrades, he entered a beacon tower.

The soldiers immediately lit firewood to burn for him, and at the same time took clothes from the dead Jin soldiers and replaced them for him.

After roasting for a while, and then tilting his neck to pour a few large mouthfuls of milk into the wine, Qiu Xiaozhong finally calmed down.

He did not ask about the situation of the front army.

In fact, there were only more than twenty people in the first batch of crossing the river, each carrying a horse.

They were the second group of crossing the river, with only more than fifty people, but they carried a little more horses, some dry food and wine.

The boat was only found by a local tyrant, and he also gave it to him. The loyal minister of Pugu and Sun Jianjun repeatedly asked him who he was ordered by, but the man hesitated for a while and did not say anything.

Pu Gu’s loyal minister didn’t understand, but Qiu Xiaozhong was smarter, but he understood.

The decline of the Jin people was not only reflected in the battlefield. Perhaps there were great figures in Tangyi County who secretly communicated with the music in order to avoid punishment in the future.

There is one in Jiangbei, and there may be one in Jiangnan.

Therefore, Qiu Xiaozhong unswervingly led the Huangjia army to cross the river. The first batch of more than 20 people, the second batch of more than 50 people, and a total of 80 horses came ashore. As for the third batch, it may be in the second half of the night, if the ferry was not intercepted by the Jiangdong Navy.

Eighty horses are enough! Take a rush at night and count wherever you go. Isn’t it a bad life? After death, the Great Shanyu will give him pensions, so that their nephews will be hereditary nobles. What are they afraid of?

"The Jin people - Wu Bing I just met, seem to be more than a thousand?" After taking another sip of wine, Qiu Xiaozhong wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "It's only a few people, and you're enough to ride eighty, follow me."

Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Qiu Xiaozhong said in order to boost morale: "Building such a big city should have a lot of wealth.

The military supervisor is still in Jiangbei. If you hide something in private, no one will know."

As soon as these words were spoken, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted.

Qiu Xiaozhong smiled and walked out of the beacon first.

After a while, dozens of riders and horses disappeared into the vast snow.

*******

In the dark night, Sima Yu felt that his soul was about to dissipate.

After running five miles, my chest became hot, and I felt so uncomfortable that I wanted to die.

Seeing that he was really unable to do so, everyone could only stop and find a place to shelter the wind first, then carefully identify the direction, and see if there are any familiar families nearby to hide.

"Just just now, there were sounds of horse hooves in the west and the east, and the bandits came from the north, and there was only a glimmer of life to the south." The military academy, who had just protected Sima Yu to flee south, made a comment.

Sima Yu's face was extremely pale. After gasping for a long time, he asked, "Who are you?"

"The Yu family has been born in a distant family, and is afraid of being a wise king." The military academy replied.

"If you save the orphan, you will be a meritorious person. What is the name of a hero? What is the position of an official?"

"Yu Jie of Kuaiji, temporarily take the position of deputy goalkeeper."

"Okay, I've written it down. When I return to the city, I will definitely have a great reward. How many guards are there now?"

Yu Jie turned around and looked at it, saying, "I just gathered some on the road, and there were more than 40 people, and I had two donkeys. The king can ride one to save my feet."

"Good." When Sima Yu heard the donkey, he was overjoyed and his feet were no longer sore. He stood up and said, "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Go back to the city and report your life first."

Yu Jie didn't say anything, and asked the soldiers to bring donkeys, one to Sima Yu and the other to Wang Shu, and then surrounded the two of them.

Hidden into the vast wind and snow.

This journey is not easy.

As soon as he walked three or four miles south to the west, he had accommodated dozens of defeated soldiers, and the sound of horse hooves came from behind him. Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

They didn't even have the courage to turn around to fight the enemy, and they all avoided the road.

There were only more than ten pursuers and found traces of these people.

They galloped and shot dozens of arrows in succession. They exclaimed in the grass, screams everywhere, and the vague figures exploded in an instant and fled in scattered.

The pursuers divided up several cavalry and came straight into the grass, while the rest continued to move forward and soon disappeared.

Sima Yu was so scared that he was out of his mind and hurriedly disappeared into the bamboo forest. Wang Shu and others came, all of whom were frightened and at a loss.

Yu Jie was quite brave. He found a step bow, squinted his eyes, glanced for a long time and shot an arrow.

The dark knight figure swayed and fell to the ground with a bang.

Yu Jie was very confident and shot three arrows in a row. Perhaps darkness and wind and snow affected the head. This time he only shot one horse overturned. When he rode the soil and fell to the ground, he rolled. Instead of retreating, he rushed straight towards the bamboo forest.

Yu Jie abandoned the bow and grabbed the knife, gritted his teeth and greeted several military troops beside him, and rushed forward, killing the faint Liang soldier outside the bamboo forest at the cost of injuring one person.

The remaining few people lost two cavalry in a row, and they didn't dare to go deeper. Perhaps they felt that it was just a defeated army and it was not worth their life, so they turned the head of the horse and chased the front team.

Sima Yu was stunned by the side.

It turns out that if you fight hard, you may not be able to fight these thieves. Did you panic just now? If you don’t run away, you may not lose, right? Do you know how many soldiers there are in Liang’s thief. Anyway, I’ve seen only a few riders, and more than ten riders are a squad, which seems not too many?

He turned his head and looked at the other side of the bamboo forest.

It was a quiet courtyard, covering a large area, with dozens of houses. It seemed that the lights had turned on, and it was extinguished when it heard the screams of fighting in the bamboo forest. It obviously didn't want to cause trouble.

Sima Yu knew that this might be a villa outside the city of a certain royal family.

The top dignitaries of the Great Jin Dynasty liked to live in the south of the city, while the general powerful people mostly lived in the east of the city, while the idle royal family liked to live in the north of the city.

Thinking of this, Sima Yu felt a little moved and was about to avoid the courtyard and wait for dawn to talk.

But reality quickly shattered his fantasy.

Another sound of horse hooves sounded from the north, and Sima Yu stopped mentioning this matter. Under Yu Jie's escort, he slipped out from the other end of the bamboo forest and headed south.

*******

This time, luck is better.

They only met the Liang army once in the second half of the night. They even used the terrain to kill three Liang cavalry and seize four horses.

Before dawn, the Beili Gate is far away.

Yu Jie asked Sima Yu and others to find a private house to avoid it for the time being, and led several soldiers and landed them on horseback and donkeys to check.

The so-called Beili Gate is considered a gate in the outer city of Jianye.

Literally, the city gate is opened on a fence wall.

The outer city of Jianye is located in Fuzhoushan, Xuanwu Abyss, and the east side is along Yanque Lake, and the south city is located in Shitou City, and the west side is located in Shitou City.

The Yangtze River and the south extend to the swamp wilderness, all surrounded by fences, for the outer city.

Along Qingxi, there is another fence wall in the Huai River (Qinhuai River), which is the inner city wall.

In the entire Jianyou City, only the palace city or Taicheng is a serious city wall and has relatively complete defensive facilities.

And this relatively perfunctory urban defense system is still progressive compared to before, because there was no fence two years ago!

When Yu Jie and others arrived near Beilimen, they suddenly found that forty or fifty cavalrymen gathered there.

A general soldier poked his head out from above the gate and was shot dead by precise arrows on the spot. After killing several people in a row, no one dared to stand out again.
