In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

The moonlight shines on the earth.

A group of more than 1,700 people marched in the night.

Only a few torches were lit at the front and rear to illuminate the road.

A young man beside Wang Dakuo came over and said to him:

"Village Chief, my grandfather has difficulty walking and can't keep up."

"How about we take a break first?"

In response to the young man's question, Wang Dakuo glanced at the sky. It was late, so it was a good time to hurry on.

When the sun is scorching hot during the day, you can only find a cool place to rest.

After all, water resources are limited, and it is easy to cause accidents due to heatstroke.

"Let your grandfather come and sit on the cart!" Wang Dakuo said, looking at the ox cart where there was still empty space.

Upon hearing that his grandfather could ride on the ox cart, the young man thanked the village chief Wang Dakuo repeatedly.

Then he went back to support his grandfather.

Sitting in the car, the young man's grandfather apologized a little embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry to trouble the village chief."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Wang Dakuo waved his hand.

"We are all from the same village, so naturally we should support each other."

After being comforted by the village chief, the old man who was less than fifty years old was deeply moved.

As more and more children fell behind, the empty seats on the oxcart were filled.

Some children and old people who had taken a rest came down and took turns walking.

On the first day, after more than ten hours, the group walked eighty miles with their families and luggage!

As the sky gradually brightened, they gathered in a shady place to rest.

Because it was the first day, everyone had enough dry food with them.

There is no need to light a fire anymore.

However, the water in each household needs to be passed around for drinking, and people have to take very small sips when drinking. Under Shen Qian's guidance, they basically drink it directly into their throats without touching their lips, so as to increase water intake and avoid waste.

After the village chief Wang Dakuo made a round of inspection and confirmed that no one was left behind, he arranged for some young people who still had the energy to look for water sources.

Shen Qian leaned on the ox cart, broke off a piece of dry and hard bread, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.

Fortunately, there was water nearby, which she could use to carry the food down the drain, otherwise Shen Qian would not be able to finish two bites.

After she finished eating, the village chief Wang Dakuo finished inspecting the camp and walked towards Shen Qian:

"Ms. Wang Shen, we may have to slow down our journey tomorrow."

"Many people in our tribe have blisters on their feet."

Facing the village chief's proposal.

Shen Qian shook her head:

"If we propose slowing down now, we might be caught up by the invading barbarians from the north in a dozen days."

"To be safe, pick out any bubbles. We're all from the countryside, so we're not that delicate."

"Besides, I, an old woman, have been walking all day today, leaving the ox cart space entirely to other elderly and weak people. If Wang Shenshi has to endure this hardship, then they should also endure it!"

After he finished speaking, Wang Dakuo sighed.

This proposal had to be abandoned.

In fact, the current situation is far beyond Wang Shen's expectations. She was reborn just to better integrate herself into the clan so that she could use the clan's power to help her punish her unfilial children.

However, these several proposals raised his prestige in the clan to almost the same level as the village chief.

In order to ensure a smooth migration, she had to give up the comfortable ox cart and work hard on her own feet.

I just exercise in advance so that I can escape stronger if I encounter robbers.

As the sun rises.

Shen Qian had fallen asleep leaning against the ox cart.

The few young men who had dispersed earlier came back one after another.

They were holding a pheasant shot with a bow and arrow!

His face was full of joy!

"We didn't find any water, but we found a pheasant nearby!" the young man who came back reported with a smile.

Seeing this, Wang Dakuo took the pheasant and looked at it, a big smile appeared on his face.

There was no water available in several villages around Wangjia Village, so he naturally did not expect the people who had dispersed to find water.

Now he has returned with prey, which is a pleasant surprise!

"Just take care of it briefly and go take a rest."

"You can roast the chicken at noon, but don't make a fire in the wild at night to attract attention." Wang Dakuo instructed the young man who hunted the pheasant.

I also found a place to rest.

The sun is shining high.

The temperature of the earth under the scorching sun is constantly rising.

Some people who were not lying in the shade were woken up by the scorching sun and moved around.

Let yourself curl up in the shade of trees and shadows.

After a whole day of rest, when the sun set again in the west, everyone took out their second meal of the day!

Compared to the morning meal before going to bed, people eat more at this meal!

Water consumption has more than doubled compared to before.

Shen Qian looked at the large families in the village and thought to herself:

At this rate of consumption, some families may not be able to keep the water in their hands for two days, let alone three days.

They have to suffer.

After thinking this through, Shen Qian didn't hesitate to drink the water herself.

After all, the mobile water truck is his own.

No matter how hard it is, you can't torture yourself by eating and drinking!

If your body breaks down, it's your own and no one will feel sorry for you.

After eating, they rested for about a quarter of an hour, and then everyone got up from the ground at the shouts of Wang Dakuo.

The huge team continued to march south with the patrol team leading the way.

......

at the same time.

Beiliang Pass, the city at the forefront of the northern border.

"Siege!"

At the command of the Barbarian Khan, tens of thousands of barbarian troops, carrying engineering equipment, launched a charge towards the indestructible Beiliang Pass!

This is the first time in the past five years that the barbarians have launched a siege!

The general in charge of defending the city shouted in panic:

"Archer!"

"Quick! Archers, prepare your bows and arrows!"

"The barbarians attacked at night!"

After hearing the hurried instructions, the soldiers guarding Beiliang Pass ran up from under the city wall in panic.

By the time they had formed their camp, the group of barbarian soldiers attacking the city had already entered the range of a hundred steps!

The garrison commander was greatly troubled:

"Archery!"

"Archery!"

As the order was given, the soldiers holding bows and arrows pulled the bowstrings and shot downwards.

But this group of barbarians seemed to have received professional training.

The moment they saw arrows falling overhead, they all raised their shields and pointed them forward.

For a while, only a few unlucky people were hit by arrows.

As for the unlucky guys who were hit, the arrows could not penetrate the armor of these barbarians unless they pierced their necks or faces.

Several rounds of arrows fell.

The commander guarding the city wall was visibly panicked.

Not only is the formation in order, but the ladders are almost ready to be set up!

"Quick! Axeman, move forward!"

"Swordsmen, come forward!" the garrison commander shouted.

The axemen holding swords and axes came forward one after another and pushed hard at the ladders!

Those who couldn't push it were chopped off the top crossbeam with a knife or an axe, so that they had one less crossbeam to climb the wall.

The archers picked up stones and threw them down.

This effect is obviously much more effective than the previous arrows.

Inside the Beiliangguan Governor's Mansion, a 'man' wearing a purple robe and a cloak of a skilled craftsman listened to the news coming from near the city wall. His eyes widened in anger, and a masculine yet feminine voice roared out:

"These rude barbarians actually attacked the city!"
