We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

On the plain, more than a dozen war horses were moving slowly.

"My wife is obedient, but she's a little too stupid. She hasn't even learned the summer language in such a long time, and it's hard for her to say a few sweet words."

"Dunzi, what do you think of your wife? I know that General Wang personally chose her for you. She must be smarter than my wife!"

Dunzi held the reins with one hand and the helmet on his head with the other, and looked helplessly at the man who was chattering beside him.

The man was from the same hometown as him. They both joined the Ninggu Army at the same time and were in the same team.

Dunzi was gifted and seemed to be born to be a soldier. After joining the army, he made many military achievements and was promoted from a private to a captain in just a few months.

His fellow villager did not have his talent, but with his courage and Dunzi's support, he became the team leader.

This guy is good in every way except that he is too talkative. Dunzi has to suppress the urge to tear his mouth apart every day.

"But I'm telling you, don't tell anyone." The fellow villager suddenly came over mysteriously, "My wife is pregnant!"

"Oh? When did it happen?" Dunzi finally had the chance to answer.

The fellow villager smiled frivolously and said, "I asked the doctor from the medical camp to help take a look. He said it's been more than two months. He said it's a boy!"

When Dunzi heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

My fellow villager has no relatives at home, and now that he has a child, it can be regarded as a continuation of his bloodline, so I am naturally happy for him.

"When I achieve more merit and receive the reward, I will definitely hire a teacher for my son." The fellow villager took off his helmet and fanned his head with his hand. "But His Highness said before that a school will be opened in the city in the future. I wonder if my son can go."

Dunzi glared at him. "Put on your helmet! Have you forgotten the military rule of 'no untidy military attire'? You're already a father, why are you still so irritable?"

"Hey, kid. You've been getting close to the political commissar lately, and have you learned his jargon?" The fellow villager said disapprovingly.

Dunzi said seriously, "You're getting more excited the more you talk. Mr. Shi taught us to read and write and learn etiquette. How can we be disrespectful to him?"

Seeing that Dunzi was really angry, the fellow villager smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. It's just..."

Halfway through his words, Dunzi's ears suddenly moved and he raised his arms abruptly.

"What's wrong?" The fellow quickly put on his helmet and reined in his horse.

A group of more than ten riders stopped and turned their eyes to the dunzi.

Dunzi listened for a moment with a serious expression, then whispered, "Did you hear any sound?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Dunzi suddenly turned his head and looked at the small pool of water on the grass beside him.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the surface of the pond.

The warhorse beneath him moved its feet restlessly, and Dunzi felt a slight vibration coming from the ground.

Just when everyone was puzzled, they suddenly heard a thunderous sound of galloping horses coming from far away.

Everyone's faces changed drastically, but they saw a wolf-skin flag slowly emerging from the top of the hill at the end.

"Enemy attack! Hurry! Go back to the mine!" Dunzi shouted in shock, tightened the reins and turned back.

Just as they turned around and ran, a large group of cavalry appeared from behind the hillside.

Dunzi looked back and was immediately shocked.

They were riding fast horses with curved swords and carrying large bows. They were densely packed at a glance, with at least hundreds of them.

"It's the Khitan Wolf Riders!" His companions rode up to catch up with Dunzi. "So many cavalrymen are heading for the mine!"

Dunzi nodded and shouted to his companions, "Run in groups of two, split up, and make sure to report the enemy situation to the mine!"

There were several hundred cavalrymen in the vanguard, and some of them were still at the bottom of the hill and had not yet rushed up. The number of this Khitan wolf cavalry was estimated to be more than a thousand.

With the development of Chaoyang City Industrial Park, the demand for iron ore produced by the mine is increasing, and a group of new miners were sent to join the mining a few days ago.

There are at least seven or eight thousand miners in the entire mine, some of whom bring their families with them.

The place was flat and had no strategic location to defend. Although there was a battalion of troops stationed there, if the Khitan cavalry launched a surprise attack, the army would definitely not be able to withstand it without forming a battle formation.

The Khitan wolf riders behind him were getting closer and closer, and they kept making all kinds of strange noises, like hunters playing with their prey.

The Khitan cavalry were not wearing armor, and with the added power of their might coming from above, they closed the distance in an instant.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the few Ninggu cavalrymen who fell behind turned their horses around with bloodshot eyes and drew their sabers:

"Damn it, you bastards, let's fight them!"

Several cavalrymen launched a desperate charge against a cavalry unit of several thousand men, but before they could reach the enemy, they were shot into sieves by wolf-tooth arrows.

The Khitan wolf riders looked at the fallen Ninggu cavalrymen with a mocking look, and deliberately drove their horses over their corpses, trampling them into pieces.

"Damn it!" The fellow villager turned around and saw this scene, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Hold your composure, don't look back!" Dunzi gasped. "We will avenge our brothers sooner or later! The most urgent thing is to bring the news back to the mine and have them prepare!"

The fellow villager hardened his heart and stopped looking back, but whipped his warhorse for his life and galloped away.

In just a few minutes, all the Ninggu cavalry behind them were caught up and killed by the Khitan wolf cavalry, leaving only Dunzi and two others.

The law——

Suddenly, Dunzi's body sank, and the warhorse under him neighed in pain.

Or perhaps the horse ran too fast and its hooves missed the target. The huge impact caused the leg bones to break and the horse fell to the grass with a bang.

Dunzi was thrown out unexpectedly and fell into the grass, with no one knowing whether he was dead or alive.

"Dunzi!" The fellow villager exclaimed and hurriedly stopped his horse.

But Dunzi's face was covered in blood, his arms were bent at a strange angle, and his palms were drooping limply.

"I can't do it anymore, go away!" Dunzi endured the pain, "Quick! Leave me alone!"

"What the hell are you talking about? When did I ever abandon you and escape alone?"

"Is this our business?" Dunzi roared. "If we don't deliver the message, how many people will die in the mine?!"

The fellow villager's eyes were red and he remained silent, as if he didn't hear what Dunzi said.

He picked up Dunzi, helped him onto the horse's back with difficulty, tore off his clothes and tied him tightly to the saddle.

"Did you hear me? Put me down!" Dunzi's eyes were red with anger. "How could a warhorse with two people on it possibly outrun them?"

The fellow villager grinned and looked at Dunzi deeply.

"I heard it, but... who said there were two people?!"

Dunzi was suddenly speechless, staring at his fellow villager with wide eyes, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"You...Zheng Erba, what the hell are you going to do?!"

Zheng Erba waved his hand, drew the sword from his waist, and stabbed it hard at the horse's butt.

The warhorse neighed in pain and rushed out like lightning.

Zheng Erba held the knife and laughed wildly: "Dunzi, keep an eye on my wife for me, and make sure she raises my son honestly!"

Before he finished speaking, several arrows came whistling through the air and pierced Zheng Erba's back.

Blood was oozing from the corner of Zheng Erba's mouth. He touched it nonchalantly, then slowly turned around to face the enemy head-on.

"Wolf cubs, Grandpa Zheng Erba is here!"
