Ni Huzi's voice came from the top of the city, but there was no response.

No one answered at the top of the city.

Xiong Zhengye stared closely at the three hundred cavalrymen under the city, and his heart suddenly shuddered.

He saw a man and a horse slowly walking out of the formation from the cavalry group, and they stopped only after they were about twenty paces away from the formation behind them.

Then everyone on the top of the city saw the man on the back of the unusually tall and powerful horse slowly raising his head.

The people on the top of the city were condescending, but when they saw the man raising his head, two cold and cold gazes like thunderbolts suddenly shot out from his eyes. Dozens of people on the top of the city invariably felt that their whole bodies

The hair on my sweat suddenly exploded!

The man sat on the horse and did not move at all, but when he raised his head and stared, a heavy and domineering aura like a mountain erupted from his body like a volcano, making everyone feel numb for no reason.

His muscles were tense, and he could feel the arrogant and oppressive force from a distance.

What a strong spirit!

Ni Huzi's face became more and more serious, and the hand holding the knife was secretly sweating.

Although he had never dealt with the real barbarians in the legend, based on his inner intuition, Ni Huzi had already deeply felt that the man under the city was definitely not an ordinary barbarian.

Xiong Zhengye was also deeply shocked by the aura of the man below the city. His heart beat wildly and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Old Ni, who are these people below?"

"It seems that they came from the barbaric wilderness across the way." Ni Huzi's face was as solid as iron and he said in a deep voice: "So who do you think they are?"

"Ah!" Xiong Zhengye was shocked, his fat face suddenly turned green, his eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief: "Barbarians?"

Long Ri Kuangyang sat firmly on his horse, raising his head and staring coldly at the head of Xiaoyang Pass.

A large group of border guards were already standing on the top of the city. In the bright lights, Long Ri Kuangyang could even clearly see the bows and arrows stretched like a full moon, all aimed at him.

The corner of Long Ri Kuangyang's mouth cracked with a sneer of disdain, and then he said to behind him in barbarian language: "Those Central Plains people don't seem to be able to see me clearly enough. Please help them."

He spoke calmly and calmly. Standing under this majestic and solid city gate, he felt as relaxed as if he were standing on his own land.

Under his command, at least ten barbarians immediately behind him threw their torches at the same time. Those torches were nailed into the snow not far from Longri Kuangyang. In the howling cold wind, the fire light grew brighter.

The heat rises.

And in the center of the bright and hot firelight, the tall and straight figure of the Dragon Sun was reflected.

Ni Huzi looked at the scene below the city. He was shocked, and anger suddenly boiled and burned in his blood.

He hit the city with a palm and couldn't help but said angrily: "How arrogant!"

Barbarians!

These two words set off huge waves in Commander Xiong's mind, making his whole body tremble. Speaking of which, he was also a veteran of the border army for many years, and had participated in several battles to kill horse bandits when he was young.

, and because he had people to rely on in the army, he became a sentry commander. However, the border has been relatively peaceful in recent years, and the bloody courage of his youth has long been worn away in the comfort and stability. For him

He said that the duties of the frontier army in peaceful days were nothing more than a slogan that could be uttered at any time. Because in his eyes, things like war were very far away from him, even though the place where he stood was

The place closest to the war.

The word barbarian, in that distant time in the past, itself meant war. Of course Xiong Zhengye also knew about the existence of barbarians, but in these years of ease in the frontier army, he had also long forgotten the crisis.

So when the name "Barbarian" came out of his mouth now, he couldn't describe the shock in his heart.

"Are they really those barbarians?" Xiong Zhengye pressed his hands on the top of the city, barely covering up his trembling and restless fat body.

"Do you think I'm bluffing you?" Ni Huzi sneered, but still stared at the city.

Xiong Zhengye swallowed a sip of saliva, his face darkened, and he said in a tone that was still somewhat unimaginable: "If it is really those murderous barbarians, why is there only that small group of people?"

Ni Huzi said nothing.

Commander Xiong's brows were almost knitted together. He looked at the circle of fire more than 150 steps away from the city and said in surprise: "Who is that person? What does he want to do? He is so blatant that he is not afraid of being caught.

Do we shoot like hedgehogs?”

"That must be the leader of that group of people." Ni Huzi said coldly: "Can't you see that he is provoking us?"

When Xiong Zhengye heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and said angrily: "He is so arrogant! With just two or three hundred horses, could he want to invade our Dayong border?"

Then his expression suddenly changed and he said hurriedly: "No, there must be an ambush behind him! This matter is not trivial, we must inform Che Langwei..."

The Che Langwei he referred to was Che Shuangyuan, the commander of their tent, "Xia Langwei".

However, in the frontier army, few people talk about the military title of "Xialang Wei". There is another title of "Xialang Wei", which is called "Puer Commander".

Soldier commander is also the most common name for frontier soldiers. In Ni Huzi's words, this title is more down-to-earth and approachable. However, this title is only used by ordinary soldiers to address commanders who have no airs about officers and are more popular among the people.

The reason why Xiong Zhengye was so polite was because Che Shuangyuan was from his hometown. Half of the reason why Xiong Zhengye became a sentry commander was because of Che Shuangyuan.

After Commander Xiong finished speaking, he raised his legs and prepared to leave.

But Ni Huzi grabbed his hand and sneered: "Chief Xiong, I didn't expect that not only have you been broad-minded and fat over the years, but your courage has been lost to wine and women, right?"

Xiong Zhengye panicked at his disdainful eyes. He lifted Ni's beard's hand and said calmly: "Old Ni, now is not the time to joke. Now that the barbarians are approaching the city, you can't help but mess around here, let alone this time."

This matter is no small matter, if we don’t notify Che Langwei in time, if something happens, neither you nor I can afford it!"

Ni Hushu snorted and said resolutely: "Of course the commander of the carriage will inform you, but there is no need for Commander Xiong to go there in person. Now you have the highest official rank here, and as our immediate superior, you should be here.

Sit in command and stabilize the morale of the army! If you leave your post without permission, it will be even worse!"

Xiong Zhengye's face was ashen, but he could not refute. He could only twitch his face, and in his heart he greeted all the eighteen generations of Beard Ni's ancestors again.

Xiong Zhengye glanced at Ni Huzi with a cold face, and hummed heavily: "Ni Yishan, I would like to thank you for reminding me. But today you have repeatedly spoken rudely to Shangguan, and you also secretly gathered people for late-night snacks while on duty. After today, I will definitely

Report the truth to the superiors, and then don’t blame me for being unkind."

Ni Huzi chuckled and said: "Chief Xiong, we can talk about the future later. The situation below the city is the most important now, right?"

Xiong Zhengye took a deep breath, looked down at the city again, suppressed his frightened mood, and sneered: "It's just two or three hundred people. How can they turn the world upside down before Xiaoyang Pass?"

Ni Huzi calmed down and said solemnly: "Since Commander Xiong is so determined, let's wait and see what the intentions of those bastards below are!"

Then he turned to one of his soldiers and ordered: "Hurry to the camp in the city and report the situation here to the commander of the soldiers."

The soldier immediately turned around and ran down the tower.

Xiong Zhengye hesitated for a moment, and then said to Ni Huzi: "You are so loud, ask them again who they are!"

He was still not sure that the people below were really the barbarians who were rumored to be so shocking.

Ni Huzi nodded, he tilted his upper body slightly, stared at the city, raised his voice again and shouted: "This is an important border defense area of ​​the Yong Dynasty. People under the city should report their names quickly. If you dare to go forward without authorization again, you should

Enemies who violate the border will be punished!"

Ni Huzi's words on the top of the city passed through the cold night wind and reached Longri Kuangyang's ears from high up.

A cold sneer broke out from the corners of Long Ri Kuangyang's lips. He turned his head slightly and said to the silent cavalry behind him: "Those Central Plains people are asking questions, why don't you respond?"

After receiving the order, the three hundred barbarian cavalry led by He Erchi immediately raised their weapons at the same time, and then a high-pitched roar came from their throats at the same time.

“Hoo!…Hoo!…Hoo!”

The high-pitched roars of the three hundred barbarians, full of strong fighting spirit, were like a burst of torrential thunder rising from the ground under the head of Xiaoyang Pass. As the roars became louder, the faces of the three hundred barbarian cavalry could be seen.

At the same time, violent and excited expressions appeared, and the horses under them also neighed and raised their front hooves high. At this moment, the barbaric blood in their bodies that had been born only for force for thousands of years seemed to have boiled and awakened,

As long as Longri Kuangyang gives an order, they can transform into an indestructible force of destruction and destroy all obstacles in front of them.

The war horses neighed, and the roar shook all directions. The three hundred barbarians under the Xiaoyang Pass City seemed to roar with the tyrannical momentum of three thousand or even thirty thousand people in their strong fighting spirit that could eclipse the cold wind on a cold night.

Everyone in Xiaoyang Pass was stunned by this sudden scene.

It seemed that what they heard was not a roar, but bursts of wild thunder exploding from the ground.

Ni Huzi's face was pale and his teeth were clenched. His heart was beating wildly amidst the waves of roars filled with unparalleled momentum under the city head, and the blood in his body seemed to have solidified.

Xiong Zhengye's legs even weakened. He was trembling all over, and his soul seemed to have been shaken out of his body by the roar of the barbarians. In a trance, he felt that there were not three hundred people lined up under the city head, but overwhelming people heading towards him.

A boundless murderous aura surged through him that made his heart burst with fear.

All the soldiers on the frontier on the city felt a shuddering fear that had flooded the entire city.

The soldiers who had drawn their bows and had arrows on them had never seen such a shocking scene. They were so frightened that their hands were shaking and they could hardly hold the bows.

At this moment, everyone was certain that those people under the city were indeed the rumored barbarians!

It was an instinctive affirmation that came from intuition. Although these frontier soldiers had never come into contact with the real king of the barbarians, now they could already confirm their authority just from the unparalleled aura exuded by those three hundred men and horses.

origin.

Perhaps only the true barbarians in this world can burst out with such a terrifying and unparalleled momentum that can shock people's hearts.

"What... do they want to do?" Xiong Zhengye couldn't help but trembled and murmured, his voice also trembling, "Are the barbarians really going to go to war with the Dayong Dynasty?"

Ni Huzi was also shaken. He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the dozens of soldiers around him, and found that everyone's expressions were full of fear and fear, and cold sweat was silently sliding down from the young but pale faces.

Ni Huzi's heart suddenly sank.

In the past few years, the garrison on the northwest border has taken on a completely different look from before under the drastic reforms carried out by Military Governor Wei Changxin. Both military discipline and equipment have been greatly improved. On the surface, the frontier army's warfare

The force has also undergone essential changes. However, the days of relative peace on the border have been too long. In the past two hundred years, there has never been a real war on the border of the Dayong Dynasty, and this generation of border troops has never experienced real war.

On the battlefield, the meaning of their existence is indeed to resist the barbarians in the north, but they have no chance to understand the war in person, nor to truly understand the barbarians. All preparations become hollow under the cloak of peace and tranquility, because the barbarians bring

What they felt only existed in rumors, and they were rumors that had passed for too long. They knew that the name Barbarian represented killing and war, but that kind of fear was too far away.
