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

"Generals, follow me for a walk on the city wall!" The man with a cold tone in his words raised his hand for a moment, and the generals responded in unison!

"As you command! Eunuch Zhong!"

A group of more than ten people, accompanied by hundreds of personal guards, walked in the middle of the street.

The military households and civilians inside Beiliang Pass have now entered a state of full preparation for war, and no one can be seen wandering around the streets.

Walk all the way to the north gate, and climb up the city wall along the corridor on the left side of the gate.

Standing on the city wall, the eunuch called Eunuch Zhong's eyes gradually became cold.

It had only been half an hour since the messenger delivered the news to the Governor's Mansion.

The enemy had actually already established a firm foothold on the city wall.

The garrison soldiers were beaten back step by step by the barbarians.

"Where is the garrison commander of the North City!" Eunuch Zhong's feminine and cold voice resounded all around.

"Your subordinate...your subordinate is here!" Upon hearing the voice of Eunuch Zhong, the panicked garrison commander was horrified and stuttered with nervousness.

Eunuch Zhong held a sharp sword and slashed at the guarding general's neck.

The defending general was not given any chance to react.

With a "Puff!" sound, the garrison commander's body was torn apart!

"The North City garrison commander gave a poor command before the battle and will be beheaded in public!" Eunuch Zhong's voice was sharp and loud.

It was loud enough for soldiers within dozens of meters to hear clearly.

The generals following behind him couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts!

You know, the rank of the generals defending the city is the same as most of the people present! They were beheaded by a single sentence from Eunuch Zhong. If they don't stand up, then the sword will fall on their heads in the future!

Thinking of this, a general who was on good terms with the beheaded general stepped forward and asked:

"Eunuch Zhong!"

"Is it inappropriate to kill a general on the battlefield?"

Faced with the questioning, Eunuch Zhong showed a pale smile on his face, and the sword in his hand was raised high, hanging above the head of the questioning general!

The overwhelming feeling of oppression caused the general to break out in cold sweat on his forehead and back.

But the words were out, and he couldn't back down.

"In this Daliang territory!"

"Before the current emperor makes his ruling, my late emperor's relative, the chief eunuch Liang Zhaozhong, can judge even the King Yi Zi Ping Xiang!"

"What's more, he's just a garrison general with poor command!"

"You, who held the army hostage, should also be executed!" The chief eunuch Liang Zhaozhong roared in a cold voice, and the sword in his hand fell on the spot.

The helmeted general was chopped to pieces alive.

Seeing this, all the generals and their own soldiers were terrified!

At the same time, a thought came to mind: He is worthy of being the God of Death appointed by the late emperor himself!

"Men of Daliang, follow me and kill the barbarians!" Eunuch Zhong raised the bloody sword in his hand and rushed to the nearest barbarian in an instant. With his powerful push, the sword pierced directly into the barbarian's chain mail.

The stabbed barbarian couldn't even fight back. His eyes widened and he fell to the ground unwillingly as Eunuch Zhong pulled out the sword.

With the brave performance of Eunuch Zhong in killing people, the morale of the soldiers defending the city and the personal troops was boosted.

It took only one hour to stabilize the city wall's defenses and push down the ladders one by one!

As the number of ladders falling increased, the barbarian retreat horns finally sounded.

After killing dozens of barbarians who had not retreated again, Liang Zhaozhong looked at the corpses strewn on the Beiliang Pass city wall with a sad face!

After a round of inspection, Liang Zhaozhong discovered that there was a barbarian corpse wearing full armor next to every two soldiers guarding the city.

You know, this is a battle to defend the city!

The soldiers standing on the city wall had a natural advantage, and they actually reduced the casualties to 2:1!

It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a crushing defeat!

No wonder the Beimang Pass and Beiyinshan Pass were defeated one after another!

When he thought of the group of barbarians wearing fine chain mail, Eunuch Zhong's face became gloomy.

These weapons are the standard armor of the Daliang Imperial Guards. There are actually bold lunatics under the emperor's feet who transport these weapons to sell to the barbarians. How is this different from treason?

After all, it was me, the chief eunuch who oversees the whole world...who failed in my duty!

As the military households below the city helped to clear the bodies from the city walls, beheadings and deaths were also counted.

Standing on the city wall, a soldier reported to Eunuch Zhong:

"Reporting to Eunuch Zhong, in this battle at Beiliang Pass, 1,528 people were killed, 251 were wounded and unable to defend themselves, 830 barbarians were beheaded, and countless corpses were found under the city walls."

"Snapped!"

The sound of a sword being sheathed rang in everyone's ears.

The generals were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.

They were afraid that this killer would wield his knife against them again!

But this time, the butcher's knife didn't arrive, but a lament:

"Twenty-two years ago, my family entered the palace as a supervisor, accompanying the late emperor. While he was virtuous, his ministers were incompetent. Incompetent men occupied high positions, leading to the loss of the Beimang border pass and the Beiyin Mountain Fort. The barbarians were able to surround the Beiliang Pass without attacking it and penetrate deep into Daliang to plunder. From then on, my family became the late emperor's sharp sword, beheading countless incompetent and corrupt officials."

"I just never imagined that there would be people selling Imperial Army armor outside the Great Wall under the feet of the Daliang Emperor. This battle is not going well, and I am also guilty!"

"But behind Beiliang City lies the plains of our northern border. Once we lose it, there will be no pass to defend our northern border, and the barbarians will be able to invade our entire northern border without restraint."

"For the sake of family and country, I urge you to fight to the death with me!"

Liang Zhaozhong's words were passionate, which aroused the soldiers' stronger desire to fight.

The generals were even more inspired to fight: if even a helpless eunuch had the courage to fight to the death, what did they have to fear?

After descending the city wall, a young eunuch who had been fighting with Liang Zhaozhong on the wall walked to a deserted place, approached Liang Zhaozhong, and asked softly:

"Master Liang, are you...crying?"

......

The words are divided into two parts.

The sky gradually brightened again, and Wang Shen and his group had actually walked a farther distance than yesterday!

Nearly a hundred miles!

Why are you so sure?

All thanks to the boundary marker!

Shen Qian, who was walking in front of the oxcart, looked at the stone tablet in front of her and recited softly:

"[Beiyun County]"

In their previous life, they fled from the village to here due to famine. They walked for a whole day and a night without any rest.

During this period, many elderly people and children were left behind and their lives and deaths were in danger.

The situation is completely different now. 185 households and 1742 people from Wangjia Village voluntarily relocated! All of them have arrived here!

"Wang Shen!"

"Shall we rest here today?"

"I see the shadow of a mountain in the distance on the right side of the boundary marker. Maybe we can get some mountain springs on the mountain to replenish our water!" Village chief Wang Dakuo walked up to Shen Qian and took the initiative to suggest when he saw that the ox cart had stopped moving.

"That's right." Shen Qian responded.

A wave of memories came flooding back.

After arriving here in their previous life, they did take a short rest here.

However, it was already September, and the Yunfeng Peak, which was the entrance to Beiyun County, had long been looted by the disaster victims. In order to pick up any food and water that might be on the mountain, these latecomers simply set up camp right below the peak, which was three hundred meters away from now!

But when Shen Qian thought of the wolves jumping out of the mountain with their green eyes that made people feel uneasy, she felt a chill down her spine. What's more, in order to protect Xiao Qi, her left arm was bitten by a hungry wolf.

Thinking of this, Shen Qian reminded Wang Dakuo:

"After the stationing, arrange for patrols in the village to patrol, especially guarding the direction of Yunshan to prevent attacks by wild beasts."

"Those who go up the mountain to look for springs should also remember to bring weapons and be ready to provide support and assistance at any time."
