Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Beisheng Pass,

After a day of consumption, more than half of the vassal army sent by Zhou Jin was lost. The northern barbarians did not give him a chance to breathe and attacked the city overnight.

"My lord, the northern barbarians have gone mad. They are attacking the city at all costs. We won't be able to hold out until dawn."

"Put it off as long as possible!"

Murong Hai stood up and dragged his tired body back up to the city wall. Only when the soldiers saw him could they fight the enemy with peace of mind.

Northern Barbarian Camp,

Altan is like an angry bird, launching everything that can be smashed.

It was agreed that they would cooperate with each other from inside and outside, but Baturu disappeared. He stubbornly fought from morning to night, and from night to the next day. Just when he suspected that Baturu was playing him,

The remnants of the Khorchin tribe fled back and said that Baturu's entire army was wiped out?

Even if there are 20,000 pigs, it is impossible to kill them all in two days, right?

Those who escaped were those who stayed behind in the camp. They had no idea what had happened. They only knew that the Northern Barbarian army was completely wiped out and the Daxia people had wiped out the entire camp.

Cursing and greeting Baturu's family, Altan had two choices before him.

retreat,

In the grassland tribes, the strong are respected, and those who can bring everyone meat are respected. So many warriors were killed or injured, and they didn't get any benefits. The lightest punishment is to step down.

"Continue to attack the city. Whoever breaks in first will be credited with first place in the tribe!"

Altan had no way out. Only by capturing Beishengguan could he overcome the losses with countless spoils.

Can’t take it down?

It is not within Altan's consideration.

The general attack lasted all night. Before dawn, the vanguard troops rushed onto the city wall and gradually gained control of it. More and more northern barbarians climbed onto the wall.

"grown ups!"

"Withdraw!"

The personal guards kept falling, but Murong Hai insisted on fighting to the death. He was ready to live and die with Beishengguan.

"kill!"

The secret guard team led by Lao Jiu rushed out. Although a small group of people could not control the situation of the battle, they could still cover the evacuation.

"Grenade ready!"

Boom boom boom!

The secret guards used grenades to clear the way, and the continuous explosions caused panic among the Northern Barbarians.

"withdraw!"

Murong Hai was already at the end of his strength, and was driven away by the secret guards, with the personal guards at the rear. Seeing this, the soldiers under the city wall also retreated.

The northern barbarians on the city wall came to their senses and opened the city gate, while the rest continued to pursue.

boom! !

A violent explosion sounded, and the city gate collapsed, blocking the Northern Barbarian army's passage into the city.

Lao Jiu led the remaining troops to withdraw from the South Gate. When the pursuers came up, he detonated the explosives. With a bang, the South Gate collapsed and the Northern Barbarian soldiers who were in the front were buried alive.

They didn't dare to chase them anymore. This unknown weapon caused them great fear.

The north and south gates of Beisheng Pass were all blown up, and the Northern Barbarian army could not enter in a short time. This bought time for Lao Jiu to retreat to a safe area and also bought time for the people to evacuate.

"Beisheng Pass is broken!"

"The barbarians are coming in!"

The news that Beisheng Pass was broken came from the front. The people who were hoping for a lucky break no longer dared to delay. They packed up their things and ran south.

They thought the northern barbarians would leave after stealing their things, so they ran to the mountains and waited for them to leave before returning home.

In short, run.

If you don't run now, you might not be able to escape.

There were fleeing civilians everywhere, the official roads were congested, and there was constant friction. Compared with them, Xiao Yunxi's fleeing team seemed well-organized.

San Zhou led the way, with the elderly and the weak riding in cars, and the young and middle-aged people on both sides of the convoy. Zhu Ming led the team at the end, and Xue Yanze and others walked with them.

Three miles away from the convoy, Zhou Er led his men to escort the prisoners. They were the soldiers who attacked them from outside the mine. These people had done so many evil things that it would be too easy to kill them.

If the northern barbarians come to kill us, we can use them as cannon fodder to delay time.

The caravan would rest for a short time every hour and then continue on its journey. Soon a day passed and when they were setting up camp, news came that Beisheng Pass had been breached.

Everyone felt relieved to have survived the catastrophe, and the helplessness and confusion they had felt while escaping completely disappeared.

The children have no idea about the concept of escape. They get together with their friends, play and fight, and the laughter always brings people a good mood.

The temperature is very low on March nights. Although we don’t need to cook, we still need to light a bonfire. The camping site is in the wilderness, and the fire can also drive away wild animals.

The children ate the braised pork and pickled vegetables with steamed buns and flatbreads with a happy look on their faces.

We had to travel at night the next day, so we all went to bed quickly. In the second half of the night, the noise outside became louder and louder, and the children were woken up.

"mother...."

"Be good, mom is here."

After coaxing Niuniu to sleep, Xiao Yunxi came out and saw the official road at the foot of the hill, dotted with torches, forming a long dragon.

The news that Beishengguan was breached spread completely. Anyone who wanted to survive had to run to the mountains or head south.

They left late, and travelled all night, and they were actually ahead.

The village leaders all came to Zhou Jin and asked him if he wanted to get up and set off immediately.

"Two hours later, when it's daybreak, leave."

It is easy to get confused when traveling at night, and encountering an assassination attempt is more troublesome than encountering the Northern Barbarians. The organized Northern Barbarians can use grenades, but assassination grenades are useless.

Xiao Yunxi couldn't sleep, so she went into the space and made a batch of explosives according to the proportion of gunpowder.

After a few days of consumption, the explosives and grenades have been exhausted. Explosives are easy to make, but grenades are more difficult to make, as they require the use of machine tools to rub the metal shell.

Machine tools can be manufactured in space through consciousness control, but the manufacturing speed is so low that it is extremely difficult to store a batch of them.

Sweeping towards the pottery jar in the corner,

The workshop commissioned a kiln to produce these pottery jars in large quantities. If they could be made into land mines, they would be great weapons.

After dawn, I packed my luggage and set off without having breakfast.

There are too many people on the official road.

Some were carrying loads on their shoulders, some were driving ox carts, some were holding their mothers with their left hands, and their children with their right hands. Some were moving at a fast pace, some at a slow pace, and some were rushing around recklessly without following any rules.

The convoy of Tangjia Village was very long and was soon overwhelmed by the attack.

at the same time,

Prince Qing arrived at Yanguan ahead of time with 8000 cavalry and received two battle reports.

The fall of Beisheng Pass was expected, but the annihilation of the Northern Barbarian army that had secretly arrived in the heart of the northwest was something he had never expected.

"Is the news accurate?"

"The Northern Barbarian Tribe has already received the news. It can't be false."

Things are going in a different direction than originally planned, but they are all developing in a good direction.

Baturu's Northern Barbarian army was annihilated and failed to cooperate with Altan's general offensive in time. The Northern Barbarians were delayed at Beisheng Pass and suffered heavy losses, which was beneficial to the next plan.

However, there was no answer as to how Baturu's nearly 20,000 men were annihilated in such a short time. Prince Qing was very unhappy. He did not like the feeling of being out of control and the unknown.

"Your Highness, Beisheng Pass was breached. Someone used a weapon to blow up the north and south gates, preventing the Northern Barbarian army from passing through. Could Baturu's death be related to this unknown weapon?"

Prince Qing thought for a moment and rejected this guess.

Beishengguan has a so-called secret weapon that can kill Baturu in a short time. It can be used on the front battlefield and Beishengguan will not be broken.

There must have been some unknown accident on Baturu's side. As for the instant collapse of the city wall, it could have been done by making some structural adjustments. It has nothing to do with secret weapons.

Perception determines vision. Prince Qing could never have imagined that there was such a thing as explosives.
