The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Only now did Jiang Yan have time to remind everyone, "When the fight starts, remember to try your best not to get out of that weedy braid I made."

After hearing Madam Jiang's reminder, all the officers and soldiers of Xishan Hundred Households kept this sentence in mind.

Even Zhou Dasheng, who is usually the biggest argumentative person, nodded vigorously and didn't dare to say a word of no.

Jiang Yan didn't know that from this moment on, all the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Hundred Households, including Captain Dong, regarded the wormwood braid as a life-saving talisman.

General Ming on the city wall also arranged a countermeasure. He asked all the archers to stand on the battlements and start shooting when they received the order.

"Hehe." General Ming, with his old face still as black as the bottom of a pot, looked at the Northern Barbarian army that was getting closer and closer with his clairvoyance, and sneered continuously.

"So what if you're all cavalry? So what if you're more numerous? I'll bite you to death."

Deputy General Hu: "General, it is more convenient for us to kill the enemy with swords, and we can kill more of them."

"Why are you such a spoiler? I'm just using a metaphor, do you understand?"

"Yeah." Deputy General Hu wanted to say that of course he understood, it was you who didn't know how to use metaphors, right? Who could use metaphors to kill the enemy without using a knife, but with your mouth?

Could a mouth and teeth be sharper than a knife? He didn't dare say that anymore. With the enemy at hand, it would be good for the general to vent his anger and relieve his stress.

...

This time, the Northern Barbarian army marched south, led by Hu Hanxiao, the younger brother of the Northern Barbarian king.

Hu Hanxiao can be said to be an old rival of the Great Zhou Kingdom, because every time the northern barbarians marched south, it was Hu Hanxiao who led the army.

"It's just that the Northern Barbarians haven't made any major moves in many years. This time..."

"General, don't forget that it hasn't rained here for several months, and it's probably not much better there."

"It may be even worse than ours. After all, they have been in chaos for quite some time." General Ming really hopes that the civil war among the northern barbarians will continue, preferably until the end of time, and not a single one will be left alive.

Thinking of this, something important suddenly flashed through General Ming's mind, so fast that he couldn't catch it even if he wanted to.

However, following this line of thought, he also remembered something. "The Northern Barbarians have assembled an army of 100,000 this time. I guess they're also waiting for the rice to be cooked."

"possible."

"Then we will defend the city gates to the death and starve them to death."

"Hey, that's a clever move."

The messenger passed on General Ming's order again. People inside and outside Black Stone City first breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again.

The idea of ​​starving the northern barbarians to death sounds quite appealing, but they must be able to defend Blackrock City.

All the officers and soldiers of Xishan Hundred Households are now mysteriously confident that they can definitely defend this place and will never let the northern barbarians advance a single step.

As for where this confidence comes from, it is of course given by Madam Jiang and General Ye.

No one knew how relieved Captain Dong was when he saw General Ye with his children and grandchildren, each holding a spear, appear in front of him.

Fortunately, Madam Jiang, General Ye, and the men of the Ye family came together to deliver food to them.

Speaking of delivering food, he just remembered, "Why haven't our firemen brought us food yet?"

"Here I come, here I come!"

The sentry hiding on the hilltop observing the enemy situation immediately sent over the news.

"You guys pass the food over here, and don't let those people from the kitchen come over, so as not to alert the northern barbarians."

"Yes."

All the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Hundred Households were enjoying the steamed bread delivered by the firemen.

The Northern Barbarian army had already stopped a mile ahead of them.

Hu Hanxiao was quite familiar with this land. He sat upright on his horse, staring at the distant city wall with contempt.

He was just a defeated general, not worth mentioning at all.

Hu Hanxiao waved his hand to stop everyone and said, "Let everyone eat some dry food and drink some water, so that everyone will have the strength to attack the city."

"Yes."

The attendants around him passed on the order, and were greeted with cheers. They had been saving food these days, just to be able to eat a full meal outside Black Stone City, so that they would have the strength to enter the city to rob food and women.

There were many of them this year, and they had already made their plans on the way here. Black Stone City was simply not enough for so many people, so they set their sights on Pingcheng.

Pingcheng is richer than Black Stone City, and they started to get excited before they even rushed into Black Stone City.

Some people also began to urge them to eat quickly so that they could go into the city. They wanted to stay in Black Rock City tonight and eat, drink and have fun, which would be a happy time.

Judging from their posture, they don't take the garrison of Blackrock City seriously at all.

Hu Hanxiao listened to all the sounds around him, and when he heard something funny, he laughed out loud.

After his laughter died down, he shouted coldly, "Follow me, everything in Black Rock City will be ours, including their food and women."

"Come on!"

"rush!!"

"Rush!!!"

The northern barbarians raised their arms and shouted together, their voices spreading far away, and some of them even took the opportunity to rush out first.

"Hahahaha~" Hu Hanxiao laughed wildly and waved the long sword in his hand, watching many of his people urge their horses to run to the front.

"Your Majesty?"

"It would be a good idea to have our warriors charge ahead and practice with the blood of the people of the Great Zhou..."

But before Hu Hanxiao could finish his tough words, he saw those who were running in the front screaming, and many of them fell off their horses.

What’s even more terrifying is that the people behind didn’t have time to rein in their horses, and were tripped by the people and horses in front who fell, and fell down too.

After they fell off their horses, they almost all fell on the person who fell first, and then the group behind them also fell on them.

The people behind saw the tragic scene in front clearly and wanted to rein in their mounts, but there were too many people behind them and they were so crowded that they couldn't stop at all.

They fell layer by layer like this until the people in front of them formed a thick wall of people and horses.

This was not the end yet. The people behind squeezed in one group, two groups, three, four, five, six groups... before they finally stopped with difficulty.

The people behind heard the wailing from inside the wall of people and horses, and many of them were frightened by the situation.

Seeing that the situation ahead was not right, Hu Hanxiao shouted at his tribesmen to stop.

He also ordered his attendants to drive away the tribesmen so that he could go and check it out himself.

When he looked carefully, he saw that the people and horses in front of him were crowded together tightly. Many people were injured, and some were even dead.

"Damn it, save people."

While Hu Hanxiao was giving orders to rescue people, he remembered that his subordinates who had scouted the way had reported that there was a very long braid made of wormwood lying across the front.

He didn't care at all at the time, thinking that the braids made of wormwood were probably made by children for fun.

He had braided his hair similarly as a child, just to trip over and chase his playmates.

Humph! Such childish things, the soldiers of the Great Zhou still did it, he couldn't bear to comment.

When they captured Black Stone City, he would tell the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou loudly that such a rough weed braid might trip up a child, but it was simply a pipe dream to trip up the horses and warriors of the Northern Barbarians.

Hu Hanxiao didn't expect that his excessive arrogance would cause many of his clansmen to fall before they even reached the wall of Black Stone City.

On the city wall, General Ming saw everything clearly with his clairvoyance and almost choked with laughter.

"Hahahaha, uh~ Oh my god, this layer of people, this layer of horses, this layer of people, and another layer of horses, they are all arranged quite neatly. At least neater than ours, hahahaha, uh~"

"General~"

"Hahahaha, this is making me laugh to death." General Ming said this before reluctantly handing the Clairvoyance to Lieutenant General Hu to look at.

Deputy General Hu didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he saw the miserable plight of the northern barbarians, he laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

"Oh my god! This, this, that, that..."

"That young lady from the Xishan Hundred Households Office did this. Hahahaha, Old Hu, you're still no good. How could you stutter at the critical moment?"

"General, I am happy."

"We should be happy. We have to give that young lady some credit after we're done. She killed so many northern barbarians without wasting a single soldier. She's more capable than us grown men."

Admiring the strong is a normal psychological activity for everyone, and General Ming is no exception.

General Ming's thoughts grew more and more delighted, and he immediately assigned someone, "Go, inform Captain Dong of the West Mountain Hundred Households Division, and tell him that the young woman who came over from their side has made a great contribution to their West Mountain Hundred Households Division."

"Yes."

Seeing that someone had gone to the Xishan Hundred Households Office to deliver the message, General Ming asked Lieutenant General Hu to give the Clairvoyance to several other lieutenants and generals, so that everyone could see the miserable state of the northern barbarians and boost morale.
