"kill--"

In Ningwu Pass, the huge gap on the city wall was like a scar that was forcibly chopped and chopped on the earth.

As the vanguard of Northern Qi, more than ten thousand elite cavalry rushed into the gap without fear of death. The door was opened. Tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides rushed together. The originally quiet snowfield mountains were dyed blood-red in just half an hour, with corpses everywhere, and fire and thick smoke covering the sky and the sun.

Outside Ningwu Pass, the black clouds with no end were still advancing forward. Jiang Heng, the right prince of Northern Qi, personally led 300,000 cavalry troops, and took the countless barbarian enslaves as the vanguard, and took a desperate bet and came from the north. This was almost all the money that Northern Qi saved for sixty years.

The green sea east of the sea circled in the sky, making a loud eagle cry. Looking down from the sky, the tide of war rushed onto the walls of Ningwu Pass like a tsunami. After a gap appeared in Ningwu Pass, it had a chain reaction like a collapsed dike. The black water flow wrapped around the blade and penetrated into the gate from all over the place. After passing the pass, it spread outward, spreading to Taiyuan City a hundred miles away and surrounding rural towns and counties. There was no grass left wherever it passed.

When the two countries are fighting, they are never children playing house. After a great victory, they may appease the people and strictly prohibit disturbing the people. However, at this time, they are fighting on the back and forth, and if they fail, they will be successful, so how can they take so much into consideration? Stepping into the jurisdiction of Taiyuan that they have never touched before, looking around, except for their comrades, they are all enemies. Only by killing those who are blocking the road can they not turn their heads into the other party's military merits.

The war fire had already ignited, and Dayue soldiers, officials, merchants, gentry, tenants, women and children..., all the unprepared people were in panic and chaos after being confused. The people who were still walking in the countryside were frantically going to the city, fleeing in the mountains, and the officials who were drinking had no time to wear their shoes, so they ran to the city frantically.

Dongdongdongdongdong-

The war drums were like thunder, panic and chaos spread out at an astonishing speed, and the huge black waves that rushed through the pass followed closely, pressing towards the border town that was unaware of nothing...

--------

Firecrackers sound from time to time in the alleys of Qingxu County.

The old woman was busy stir-frying bacon in the kitchen. The smell was mouth-watering. Many children ran to the door and looked around, but the adults grabbed their ears and picked them back.

Zhu Manzhi was naturally kind-hearted and helped the old woman prepare meals in the kitchen with the well-educated Song Yufu.

Zhongli Chuchu grew up in the south since she was young and had never sat on the kang in the north. She sat on the kang with Ning Qingye. She was warm under her butt, and she felt very strange. She even got together and whispered:

"Qingye, how hot is it to sleep this night?"

Ning Qingye sat straight as usual. He thought about it after hearing this and got closer:

"Your master must like it."

Zhongli Chuchu's green eyes were a little puzzled: "Why?"

Ning Qingye's expression was plain and said very directly:

"She and Xu Buling took off all her clothes and were pounded, so she was no longer afraid of the cold."

Mash medicine?

Zhongli Chuchu's expression froze. After thinking carefully, she realized what "mix medicine" meant. Her face turned red. She raised her hand and pinched Ning Qingye's thigh. She wanted to reply: You are not thrusting by Xu Buling, and you are embarrassed to mock my master? It's just a feather...

But this is obviously hard to say, so she could only frown and said, "Who did you learn from you?"

"Follow your master."

Ning Qingye has always been calm and calm. When she talks to a woman about other people's private words, she is naturally not afraid. She thought about it and said:

"Chuchu, you don't have to worry so much. My master said that you and your master are with Xu Buling, but it's actually nothing..."

??!

When Zhongli Chuchu heard this, she almost broke her breath. She glanced at Ning Qingye incredibly and said to her: Your master is ashamed to tell you this. It’s better if you don’t understand it, but you still want to drag me and my master into the water?

Zhongli Chuchu naturally didn't appreciate this "kind invitation" and said coldly:

"Ning Qingye, please pay attention to your words. If you are a teacher for a lifetime, you will never be able to do anything."

"Tsk~ It's up to you, it's not me who's anxious anyway."

Ning Qingye saw that he was not grateful to the other party when he persuaded him with kind words, so he naturally stopped talking and turned his head to look elsewhere.

Zhongli Chuchu also snorted, turned her head and looked to the other side, and said intimidatingly: Just show off, wait until you know that your master is sleeping with Xu Buling, see if you are anxious...

In the guest house outside the small door, there was a floor stove burning, and an iron kettle was placed on the stove. It was steaming, and two pots of wine were warmed next to it.

Xu Buling and Kou Meng sat at the small table, and Nightingale helped pour wine in front of her to chat about the small details of the border army's battle. Nightingale grew up in the Su Palace since she was a child and knew much more about the military formation than the world. Sometimes Xu Buling said it wrong and even reminded her to explain, she was a heartwarming little secretary.

However, Kou Meng had not even finished his private school and only recognized common words when he went to the world. He was naturally a layman in his eyes. He nodded constantly like listening to heavenly books, but he still listened very seriously. After all, this is something that will save his life in the future.

Soon, the table was set up in the house, and several people sat around the table, tasting authentic northern food. Zhu Manzhi grew up in Qingxu County since childhood, and was almost crying, but he had to show off his gentle appearance, chew slowly and pretend to be a good girl, explaining the wonders and origins of these delicacies to his sisters.

While we were joking, just as we were drinking, some running sounds suddenly appeared in the alley.

Xu Buling just said that it was the children chasing and fighting, and he didn't care. But after that, the sound of "dong-dong-dong-dong-dong" came from a distance.

Xu Buling and Nightingale frowned at the same time and looked to the north. The girls talking on the table also stopped, looking a little confused.

Kou Meng had just joined the army and was a little curious when he heard the sound: "Who is doing the wedding ceremony during the New Year? The drum beat was quite strange. It sounded like...it was..."

"War drum, enemy attacks!"

Xu Buling's ears were almost called out of calluses about the war drums. The war drums of the Dayue army were all the same. After listening carefully, he realized that it was a powerful enemy attacking and a curfew that was blocked.

Although Qingxu County is a border town, it is a hundred miles away from Ningwu Pass and fifty miles away from Taiyuan City. After the founding of Dayue, he has basically never experienced war. It can be said that he has never heard of this drum beat. Not only did the people outside not panic, many people ran out and asked at the door of Kou Meng's house:

"Mr. Kou, what's going on?"

When Kou Meng heard that it was a war drum, he put down his wine glass and said inexplicably: "I'll just say it's familiar... The birds that come here come, where are the enemies attacking? The bandits are fighting over..." As he said that, he stood up and walked out of the room, looking up to the north.

Unexpectedly, Kou Meng was shocked all over his body, and he ran out in a panic, ran for a few steps and stopped, and turned around and said anxiously:

"Mr. Xu, the beacon tower is on fire. If you can't find me, I'll be beheaded. I'll leave first. You...ah~ You eat first! I offended..."

What a fuck!

When Xu Buling heard the beacon tower burning, his face changed suddenly. He quickly got up, ran out of the door with Nightingale, and looked up at the sky.

The clear sky on the plain is cloudless, and the sun is hanging in the sky. Above the mountains at the end of the snowfield, smoke columns soar into the sky, stretching from the invisible north to the nearby hilltops, and then extending southwest to the city of Chang'an at the end.

The beacon tower will only be lit in case of emergency wars. The consequences of igniting casually can be seen from the example of King You of Zhou's "Beacon Fires Playing the Princes". The beacon fire transmission also has levels, with a total of six levels. The enemy's troops invaded the border less than one thousand people, and only one accumulated firewood was burned, that is, a pile of fire and smoke; more than a thousand people burned two piles; more than a thousand people siege the city and three piles.

Last time King Su left Qinzhou, only two fires were burned, and the smoke pillars in front of him were five separate fires. The six fires were in danger of Chang'an, and he urgently summoned all the princes to help the king. The five fires indicated that the enemy had broken through the border and entered the pass, and even Taiyuan could not be blocked. He asked for emergency help from all parts of the northern border.

Nightingale looked at the direction of the beacon, her eyes were a little terrifying: "It is Ningwu Pass, one of the three passes, how could Ningwu Pass be broken? Will the guard general go home for the New Year?"

Xu Buling didn't have the sky eye, so he didn't know how to break Ningwu Pass, but he knew clearly what would happen next:

"Retreat quickly. Ningwu Pass is more than a hundred miles away. The vanguard army may have arrived on the road. Then, we will encircle Taiyuan and clear out the countryside towns. If we don't leave, we will not be able to escape."

Nightingale recalled the map and turned around and said, "As soon as Taiyuan was broken, the Northern Qi army went south and fought to Kaifeng Prefecture without any danger. Chang'an City would definitely not be able to transfer troops in a short time. The Liaoxi Protectorate Palace became an enclave..."

Xu Buling had no intention of talking about this, so he quickly turned around and waved: "Get out of the city quickly, the city gate is closed, and the horse can't go out, don't delay."

Ning Qingye had already run out, and hesitated without hesitation and went to pick up the horse tied outside.

The old woman was anxious and panicked when she saw the guest, and looked slightly puzzled from the kitchen:

"Mr. Xu, what's going on? Why did Mengzi run away?"

When Xu Buling heard this, he quickly jumped onto the courtyard wall and said to Kou Meng, who had already run to the entrance of the alley:

"Kou Meng, come back and take your mother out of the city."

Kou Meng paused, turned around, and there was obvious hesitation in his eyes: "Young Master Xu, if you escape without fighting, how can I kill my brother?"

Xu Buling took a few big strides to Kou Meng: "Ningwu Pass was broken, Qingxu County is located on the road that must be passed to the south, and the vanguard army will soon arrive here. Most of the troops on the west side were transferred to the Western Front to defend King Su. When the reinforcements arrived, the Northern Qi had already reached Xiangzhou. The two hundred soldiers in Qingxu County had no high walls, and they didn't have to attack the city, so they could walk in and could not stop them."

Kou Meng had never fought a war. When he heard Xu Buling say that it was so serious, his face turned pale and he said anxiously:

"I have to stop it, but I have to stop it. The superiors did not allow them to retreat, and they all started to lock down the city. It was obvious that they had to defend the enemy and escaped... "

Xu Buling knew the iron rule of the army, but Northern Qi had already entered the pass, and there might be internal supporters in the border army. It would be better to defend Taiyuan City and wait for reinforcements. Qingxu County was a stumbling block. Two hundred people watched hundreds of thousands of troops in Northern Qi come over. If they didn't run away, wouldn't they be sick?

Xu Buling thought for a while and turned to look at the farmyard: "Nightinging, take Kou Meng's mother out of the city quickly and wait for me outside. I will take the border troops of Qingxu County away and come over immediately."

Nightingale did not hesitate at all, raised her hand and threw the gold medal from Prince Su's mansion over, turned over and took a few girls away.

Xu Buling, holding the gold medal of King Su, quickly rushed to the garrison barracks in the county town.

Kou was striding hard, still a little hesitant:

"Mr. Xu, I have the responsibility to defend the city. I left the people and ran away. I am afraid that..."

"Bei Qi came to regain lost land. Have you ever seen your home be occupied by robbers. When you beat him back, you smashed your home first?"

"Uh... I understand..."

"If you don't defend, the soldiers of Northern Qi will not be able to massacre the city. Only when militias are mobilized to defend the city will more people die. Don't worry, just follow me..."
