Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Regardless of whether we can cross the mountain, the northern barbarians are right behind us, and saving our lives is the most important thing.

The fire in the distance was getting closer and closer, and I could faintly hear shouts and screams.

Xiao Yunxi waved the whip and drove the carriage to the middle of the mountain. She had to climb up first. Even if the Northern Barbarians chased her, she could at least use the terrain to fight back. Waiting at the bottom of the hill would mean waiting for death.

Lijia Village and Yingxiong Village were Xiao Yunxi's staunch supporters. If they continued to drive the carriage up the hill, any further delay would bring the northern barbarians to their doorstep.

Their decisiveness affected the people around them, and they rushed up the mountain madly without caring about what they were going to do. At this time, the advantage of having no property was reflected.

With light luggage, we climbed to the platform halfway up the mountain in the blink of an eye.

The northern barbarians were all cavalrymen, and they were fast. They were there in the blink of an eye. The people who were far away from the hillside rushed towards the military camp.

Those who couldn't squeeze through jumped into the trench, used wheelbarrows and carts as cushions, and climbed to the other side.

They naively thought that since the northern barbarians were coming, the soldiers in the barracks would definitely come out to kill the enemy, so it would be safer to stay close to the barracks, right?

The people rushed to the military camp, but the officers and soldiers blocked the gate and refused to let them in. The northern barbarians rushed in recklessly and were about to reach them. Their desire to survive made them attack the military camp frantically.

The Northern Barbarian Cavalry did not directly attack the military camp, but drove the people along the ravines.

If they turn around and find the northern barbarians, and the people don't have the courage to resist, then they can attack the military camp. These damn officials won't let them pass, so they will die together.

The desperate and angry people attacked the camp frantically. The fence and the camp gate were about to be broken down, and then the northern barbarians could take over the camp.

"Fire arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

The camp fence was destroyed, and it was really over. Yan Hao's face turned pale.

"Sir, I request to go to war."

The black-faced Black Whirlwind stood up. There were only about 2000 Northern Barbarian cavalrymen, and they were fully capable of fighting against the enemy.

"Shut up!"

The Northern Barbarian cavalry is fast and highly mobile. There are 2000 of them right in front of us. Who knows if there are more cavalry waiting for them to leave the camp?

His Highness's order was to defend Hutou Cliff to the death and not let even a grasshopper pass. He would never take the risk.

"Fire arrows!"

Yan Hao's henchmen didn't care about the lives of the people and shot at the people outside the fence.

Puff puff.

The people fell to the ground like leeks, their eyes filled with resentment and hatred.

The people on the distant hillside watched from afar as the soldiers slaughtered civilians, and were glad that they did not naively run to the military camp, because those beasts would never care about their lives.

Once the seeds of resentment are sown, it means the loss of the court's credibility and the collapse of trust. It may not have an immediate impact, but the impact behind the scenes can destroy a dynasty.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, Zhou Jin ordered the carriages and carts to be connected end to end to form a circular attack, and a part of the Northern Barbarian cavalry rushed towards the mountainside.

There were too many people and vehicles, as well as trees, so the cavalry could not move quickly. They chopped down the surrounding civilians, shot them with bows and arrows, and killed people for fun.

Niuniu's face was pale, and she curled up in Xiao Yunxi's arms, not daring to move.

"Who is willing to go down the mountain with me to kill the enemy?"

Xiao Yunxi had a cold face. She could not tolerate the killing of her compatriots by foreigners.

"I go!"

"I am coming too!"

Hu Zi and Li Kui were filled with righteous indignation, their faces flushed red. Zhu Ming stood up silently and expressed his attitude.

Xiao Yunxi got there first, so Zhou Jin had no choice but to stay and take care of the child.

"Zhou San and Zhu Ming, bring someone to accompany the madam."

Hu Zi and Li Kui, who had not received any training, were left behind. They looked unhappy and secretly vowed to learn skills and kill the barbarians.

Xiao Yunxi handed the newly made grenade to the secret guard team. They were already very familiar with it and did not need to be taught.

When it was completely dark, she rushed down the mountain with Zhu Ming. The Northern Barbarian cavalry did not notice them. There were not many of them, and with the torches lit, they made them sitting ducks.

Throw grenades where the Northern Barbarian cavalry are densely packed, and shoot with bows and crossbows where they are scattered. At least 40 cavalry will be killed in the first wave of attack.

After getting close, he would stab the person down with a spear and then cut his neck.

The explosion attracted the attention of the Northern Barbarian Cavalry, and the faint light showed that their companions were killed.

"gather!"

"gather!"

It's easier to get attacked if you're alone, so it's always better to stay together, right?

Xiao Yunxi wanted to say: Thank you for your cooperation, I will let you go without pain.

The Northern Barbarian cavalry gathered, numbering about 200. Before the leader issued the second order, something was vaguely seen coming towards them.

hidden weapon?

Rumble!

People and horses were thrown to the ground. The leader secretly cursed Xiao Yunxi for being untrustworthy. He said he would die painlessly, but this was clearly a life worse than death!

When the common people saw the northern barbarians dead or wounded, someone shouted:

"Fuck him!"

they

The brave people rushed forward, whipped the corpses of those who were dead, and gave those who were not dead a ride. The northern barbarian soldiers with broken arms and legs were grateful to them for giving them a quick death.

The secret guards were helpless. They were preparing for a second round of attack, but now they couldn't do it because it was easy to cause accidental injuries.

Knock the northern barbarians off their horses and leave the rest to the people.

The Northern Barbarian cavalry that had not gathered realized that something was wrong and retreated down the mountain to join the main force.

The large army wanted to help them take revenge, but as it got dark, the situation on the hillside was unclear and a rash attack would be unwise, so they planned to drive the captured prisoners away.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The shouts and cries of killing shook the earth, and dense black dots rushed down the hillside. The Northern Barbarian Cavalry did not dare to fight, as they did not know that Yan Hao would not come out at all.

If they were delayed and another army broke out from the barracks, they would die here, leaving no prisoners behind, and run back the way they came.

"The northern barbarians ran away?"

"Victory?"

"We won!"

Laughter was mixed with heart-wrenching cries. Many people had just lost their loved ones. This was the cruelty of war.

Xiao Yunxi returned to the top of the mountain and took away the horses and weapons of the Northern Barbarians. These were all good things.

Hutouya Camp,

When the Northern Barbarian Cavalry escaped, some people suggested chasing them, such as Black Whirlwind.

"Sir, why don't you chase after me?"

Yan Hao is very annoyed with Wu Kui.

"The order I received is to defend Hutou Cliff to the death! Are you going to disobey military orders?"

"Whose military order is this? Lord Murong is not here, who gave the order?"

Some people took the lead in questioning,

Yan Hao's actions were against the will of heaven and were despised by the generals, who were also very angry.

"The order was naturally issued by the court, and you have objections!"

Wu Kui had an objection and was about to speak when the sound of horse hooves came from afar. It was the vanguard of Prince Qing's army that had arrived.

on the hill,

Xiao Yunxi called over several village heads, and some spineless people also came over to listen to what was going on.

They saw Xiao Yunxi leading people to attack just now. They knew that following a strong person would never be a disadvantage.

"Hutou Cliff is inaccessible. I plan to climb over the mountain and bypass it. If you are willing, follow us. If you are not willing, you can find your own way out from now on."

Xiao Yunxi is not a pushover, but she will never completely ignore these poor people.

For those who are willing to follow her into the mountains, she will at least guarantee that they will not starve to death, and will bring them out of the mountains smoothly. It all depends on their own choice.
