Chapter 23 Changping

Now that the decision was made, the two of them did not hesitate.Xue Tong went out and begged for two bad horses from the villagers, and prepared bows, knives and long lances, and got up early the next morning and set out from the mountains.

The two were worried about the situation of He Yun and others, so they did not spare their horsepower.Before arriving at the middle of the day, he had driven more than 47 miles and entered the Changping boundary of Xuanshi County.According to "Historical Records", in the [-]th year of King Qin Zhaoxiang during the Warring States Period, Qin and Zhao refused each other. The battle of Changping, which determined the fate of the two great powers, took place here.

This stretch of mountainous terrain is rugged and complex, Danshui flows quickly, and there are many tributaries scattered throughout the whole area.And Danzhuling, the source of Danshui, fluctuates like anger.Danzhuling passes through Nangong Mountain, Yangtou Mountain, and then to Ma'an Valley at the junction of Huguan. There are remnants of Zhao's Shicheng defense line that stretched for hundreds of miles in the past.

General Lian Po of the State of Zhao once relied on Danshui and the defense line of Bailishi City to wait for the Qin army. Hundreds of thousands of troops from the two countries stalemate in this tiny place for three years.At the end of the war, King Zhao replaced Lian Poshuai with Zhao Kuo, who was on paper; King Zhaoxiang of Qin sent Wu'an Jun Baiqi to lead the army, and went to the Kanto in person, conscripting all the men over 15 years old in Hanoi County to form the last viable force, and massively reinforced Chang Flat battlefield.

It was also this new army that cut off the Zhao army's food road and retreat in Bailishi City, and finally wiped out Zhao's 40 troops in one fell swoop.According to legend, after the Qin army pitted and killed 40 Zhao troops, they took their heads and built a platform in the base. Because of the mountain platform, Cui Wei Jie raised it up, and the local people called it Baiqitai.

This war finally determined the historical trend of the end of the Warring States Period.The loser has never recovered from a setback, and the winner, relying on the power of victory, within decades, has developed a long-term strategy and impoverished the inner world, swallowed for two weeks and died of the princes.

Although Changping is a small place under Xuanshi County, it is actually very densely populated and commercially developed.The city built is not inferior to Xuanshi County, and it is considered to be quite large in the southern part of Bingzhou.

Both Lu Yao and Xue Tong have been in Bingzhou for many years, and have traveled to and from this important transportation point connecting Shangdang and Hanoi countless times.Soldiers like them always have a lot of emotion when they gallop across the ancient battlefield.But after passing through Changping this time, what filled their hearts was only deep sadness.Lu Yao never imagined that what he saw along the way turned out to be like this!

They went all the way, crossing Shishui and Guoshui, passing through four villages along the way.However, the villages where the sounds of chickens and dogs were heard everywhere are now completely deserted; many houses were burned into ruins by the flames, and only charred beams and columns remained.But the house that was not burned was full of thorns, and it had become a gathering place for jackals and foxes.

In the open field, broken corpses eaten by wild animals can be seen everywhere.Flocks of scavengers hover between the feasts, chirping dull and unpleasant.As the galloping horse passed by, occasionally a small animal would startle up and run away.

The two of Lu Xue couldn't help looking at each other, and they couldn't help but stepped up their horses, hoping to leave this hell on earth as soon as possible.

At about noon, the two finally arrived at Changping City.

Lu Yao set up an awning to look over, and saw that the city was very deserted, even the gate tower had collapsed, and the heavy wooden door was apparently torn apart by a sharp knife, turning into seventeen or eight fragments and lying on the ground; calm down and go Look, the inside of the city gate is indistinct, so I can't see clearly.

The villagers used to come here to sell mountain products, and this year should be no exception.If you want to find their traces, there is no doubt that you must start from Changping.But in Lu Yao's eyes, there always seemed to be an indescribable strangeness in the gray city walls.

"Strange, why is there no one?" Xue Tong looked around and muttered.

The two of them waited outside the city for a while, but no one entered or exited.Only the north wind passed through the door opening quickly, making a whistling sound.

Xue Tong asked: "Will the barbarians harass and harass everyone in the city?"

Lu Yao murmured, "It's not like that. If there were barbarians in the city, where would it be so quiet?"

The two cautiously and slowly approached the city gate, and there was nothing unusual in the city.The two looked at each other, shouted loudly and galloped straight into the city.

Changping City is not big, the two of them were fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in the city where two long streets run through.Lu Yao looked around and saw the indescribable tragedy, he couldn't help but gasp!

There are countless corpses on this long street.Those mutilated limbs and shattered torsos lay in disorder on both sides of the long street, some of which were still gurgling blood.Among the dead, there were not only many people dressed in common people, but also many Hu people.The ground had long been stained red with blood, and the thick bloody smell made the war horses snort uncomfortably.The north wind whizzed past, stirring up dust all over the sky, and splashing on this miserable scene, it was like Shura's hell.

Lu Yao turned his horse around and saw a person not far away.

There is a school yard at the intersection of long streets, and it is also where the corpses are most dense.In addition to that person, there were more than a dozen men in black clothes standing scattered in the school grounds, but at a glance, no matter who it was, it seemed that they could only pay attention to that one person!

The man with broad shoulders and back, tall and straight, stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a luxurious brocade robe with pure white cloud patterns, and a sword inlaid with beads and jade hung from his waist.Although he was in the sea of ​​corpses and blood, his toga and sleeves were extremely clean, without any dirt or blood.The whole person also floats out of the dust as if he is in a painting, without any fireworks.

He looks about thirty, extremely handsome, with a complexion as white as jade, two thick eyebrows slanted into the temples, a high nose bridge, and sharp eyes when looking around, as if there are lightning flashes in all directions.Lu Yao was riding on a tall Northland steed, and he was also tall, but when he met the man's eyes, for some reason, he felt like looking up.Those eyes are so strong that one almost admires them; that's right, just by his one glance, there is arrogance, arrogance, and arrogance!

Such a look is one you will never forget once you see it.Lu Yao subconsciously reined in his horse and took a step back. What he thought of in an instant was not whether this person was an enemy or a friend, but couldn't help admiring: There are such people!

When he was in doubt, he suddenly saw He Yun from the corner of his eyes.

There are more than a dozen tall wooden frames lined up on one side of the school grounds, each of which has a person hanging from it.The first person was He Yun, he was almost invisible, his clothes were torn, there were welts and blood everywhere, and there were wounds on his head and face.He was tightly bound, and a rope hung from the wooden frame strangled his head and neck, so that he could only touch the ground on his toes.

At this time, a big man was walking towards He Yun, his hands clanging, and his long knife was out of its sheath in a slashing gesture!

Lu Yao was so shocked that his blood almost boiled.A few months ago, he still had [-] subordinates. After those bloody battles that risked their lives, He Yun was the only one who followed him alive. Do you want to watch He Yun die before his eyes again today? <Lei Ban yelled, slammed his feet on the horse's belly, and rushed straight to the big man with the knife.

Lu Yao's silver gun was lost in the woods outside Wuming Village, and it was using a horse spear that he had made rough by himself a few days ago.Although it wasn't his usual weapon, the long lance danced in circles with a very aggressive aura.

A figure flickered in front of him, and a big man in strong clothes rushed forward a few steps, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Don't collide!"

Lu Yao didn't have the time to talk too much, the long lance stuck out and pierced his chest with a strong wind.Seeing that the situation was not going well, the big man roared and drew out a thick-backed fish-scale knife to block it.Lu Yaoren borrowed horsepower, and the force of this spear is too strong, how can the big man stop it? With a loud sound of "Dang", the big man was knocked into the air and fell more than ten feet away.

Lu Yao rode his horse past like the wind, not to mention stopping.

"Presumptuous!" Another person yelled loudly, before the yelling came to an end, he swung his knife and slashed from the side, like a thunderbolt, he dismounted Lu Yao from his horse.Lu Yao danced the lance to parry, and the sword and lance struck each other, only feeling a strong force coming from the lance.After all, Lu Yao was just recovering from a serious injury. He only felt his right arm shake violently, and he could hardly hold the weapon steadily.Taking a closer look, the man was holding a giant saber.

Seeing that the forward momentum was about to be stopped, who would have expected that Lu Yao would change his moves so quickly, he took advantage of the situation and handed over his left hand, and swept the long lance with his waist and legs.This counterattack was extremely fast. The man's Saber is a heavy weapon. Although it is unparalleled in power, it is a bit clumsy to use. How can it be retracted in time to block?He let out a hey, and had no choice but to let go of the knife and retreat quickly.Lu Yao was so fast that he had already rushed over.

Seeing Lu Yao breaking through the two interceptions one after another, the imposing man in white robe clapped his hands and praised, "Very good!"
