Mr. Hu swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "The Emperor's magic tricks have seen through the conspiracy of the barbarians... But most of our army have carried hoes and manure buckets since childhood, working all over the world, and they have rarely even fought with people. Now they have to fight directly with the most vicious barbarians. Everyone is very scared...

But General Zhang is right. If we do not do our best to defend Langzhou, once the barbarians break through the defense line, our home will fall and our family will suffer the tragic experience of our compatriots in the north. Therefore, the soldiers in the city mustered up the courage to fight against the barbarians who were siegeing the city!

...The friend who grew up with me died... The neighbor who always quarreled with me died... In just half a day, most of the people who came out of our town to participate in the war were killed and injured... But at dusk, the barbarians stopped attacking and we defended Langzhou City..."

The face of Mr. Hu showed an indescribable pain. While recalling, he talked a lot, which made Xu Yi, who was more stable but still young, feel a little impatient. Xue Chang shook his head slightly at him.

"...We haven't had time to sort out the remains of the fellow villagers. The barbarians who were repelled yesterday actually came to attack the city early the next morning. Their attack was as fierce as yesterday, but our number was much smaller than yesterday. Everyone was ready to see the King of Hell..."

When Mr. Hu said this, a light suddenly flashed in his turbid eyes: "At this moment, General Ye led the reinforcements to arrive! I stood on the city wall and saw very clearly that General Ye rushed in front. His palms were even more powerful than the sharpest swords and guns. As long as those barbarians were hit by him, they would be knocked away! His subordinates all had unique skills, so even though those barbarians were fighting us fiercely, they were like children meeting adults, and they were no match for them at all!... Not long after, the barbarians were completely defeated. General Ye led his subordinates to continue chasing and did not enter the city because of this. It was a pity! We didn't have the chance to thank him for his life-saving grace!"

Mr. Hu sighed heavily, and his regret was beyond words: "... Later, I heard General Zhang say that General Ye assisted the garrison troops in Gongzhou City to resist the barbarian army attacking from the east. When our fleet was fighting against the barbarian fleet on the river, he took his subordinates to raid the barbarian commander's ship and slaughtered the barbarian commander's head with his own hands, thus repelling the enemy troops on the east route!

After that, he led his men to the north immediately. After rescuing us, he rushed to Jiange. Because they were all martial arts heroes who could fly around and cross even the steep mountains, they quietly walked around the rear of the Barbarian army, sneaked into the barbarian's baggage camp, and burned the food and grass.

The barbarian army had no food to eat and had to retreat. The late emperor led the Jiange defenders out of the pass to pursue, and General Ye and his men also flew down from the steep mountain walls to attack the retreating barbarians. The barbarians were frightened and dared not fight and fled. They heard that because of chaos and crowding, many barbarians fell from the narrow plank road...

Although the barbarian army was defeated, it also made us Sichuan people realize that even with mountains and rivers as barriers, the treasure land of Bashu was not safe. Only by completely defeating the Northern Barbarians can our lives be peaceful. So later, the first emperor called on us to take the initiative to attack the Northern Barbarians to avoid the battle happening in Bashu again. Everyone strongly supported and actively joined the army.

General Ye and his subordinates led by him performed very well in this war and became heroes of our Sichuan people. The martial arts heroes from Bashu joined his troops one after another. I heard that various sects were also actively seeking him to cooperate. In a few months, the number of martial arts heroes he commanded increased several times.

Half a year later, the late emperor led his army from Gongzhou and advanced east again. I followed General Zhang to guard Jiange and could not follow him, but I knew that General Ye led the martial arts heroes he trained as the vanguard of the large army and played an extremely important role in the subsequent battles, which made the late emperor finally gain a firm foothold in Jinghu. General Ye was therefore officially promoted to general. The late emperor allowed him to not only command the troops composed of the martial arts heroes, but also command other troops to fight..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Hu looked at Xue Chang who was listening carefully and said in a more intense tone: "But, it will not be smooth sailing for anything. Although the late emperor won several battles in Jinghu, the Northern Barbarians were not vegetarians, otherwise they would not have been able to destroy the previous dynasty so easily. They mobilized heavy troops from all over the country to launch an attack on our army in Jinghu. The number of soldiers was far less than them, and they were not as fierce as them. Moreover, it was not so easy to just support an army that had been fighting abroad for a long time. First of all, there was not enough food, and secondly, transportation was not convenient. Therefore, the main force led by the late emperor suffered a defeat in a battle and was besieged by the barbarian army in Xiangyang City.

The situation was very critical. General Ye led a group of subordinates to break out of the siege and seek reinforcements. It is said that when the late emperor held Xiangyang City for more than a month and was about to lose hope, General Ye not only invited the Jingnan Guard from the previous dynasty, but later the reinforcements of Xiao Hui, the King of Dingnan, but also summoned many martial arts heroes from the Central Plains and Jinghu.

Before launching an attack on the besieged barbarian army, General Ye shouted, 'Even if all the armor is damaged and the river is stained with blood, he vows to drive the Tartars to the north of Yanshan Mountain!——"

Xue Chang's heart moved and interrupted, "Is this the iron-blooded Changhemen--"

"Young hero, you are so smart!" Mr. Hu smiled and said, "That's right! It's at this time! This is the origin of the name of the Iron Blood Changhemen!... After the battle began, the late emperor also led the city guard troops to kill, and General Ye led the martial arts heroes to raid the commander of the barbarians. But those barbarians were not fools. After fighting several battles with us, they also knew that there was such a unit in our army. The soldiers were all skilled in martial arts and good at raiding the central army, so they were prepared in advance. Therefore, General Ye encountered great difficulties in the raid. It is said that his subordinates either died in battle or were injured. Even General Ye himself was covered with arrows. At the end of the battle, he fainted on the battlefield due to excessive bleeding. The late emperor thought he had died in battle, but he heard that he had tears..."

Mr. Hu's mood became a little high: "Although this battle is very dangerous, we, who have fewer soldiers than the barbarians, finally won the victory. The barbarian's army was not only defeated, but their commander... is called Murong... I can't remember the name. Anyway, it's a strange name. He is also the marshal of the barbarian's middle army. He was seriously injured and died soon after. It is said that in the battle, General Ye seized the banner of the barbarian's army, and then threw the Murong with this flag like throwing a javelin. The barbarian's central army finally retreated!

After this battle, the prestige of the late emperor increased greatly, and many remaining troops of the former dynasty in the south surrendered to us. Jingbei and Jingnan were successively owned by us, and their strength was greatly enhanced! General Ye also had a great prestige among these martial arts heroes in the previous dynasty. They were competing to become General Ye's subordinates. Within a few days, the number of his troops exceeded one thousand. It is said that General Ye established the Iron Blood Changhemen to better restrain and train these martial arts heroes...

In the following time, General Ye made a lot of contributions, so he was appointed as General of the Northern Expedition by the late emperor and led his troops alone to fight against the Northern Barbarians——”

"It turns out that General Ye's name is called "this is it." Xue Chang couldn't help but interrupt.
