The Dading Dynasty has been established for nine hundred years. It has 32 counties and 300 million people, and is stable and prosperous.

The imperial capital Zhongjing is located in Jingzhou, the core of the five prefectures, and its county is Zhongjing County. Zhongjing County is surrounded by mountains, with fertile fields of thousands of miles, and a Wei River crosses the weather, with a pleasant climate and abundant water and rice. It is a holy land in Zhongzhou that many people in the world envy.

Zhongjing County guards the famous Five Passes and One City, among which the southwest is Sanguan. Sanguan is known as the first pass in Jingzhou, and can be said to be the most important gateway for Zhongjing to face the two western prefectures. After going west to Sanguan, it is a plain area of ​​thousands of miles. Going north over the Daqing Mountains, which is not considered majestic, is Wuzhou in the northwest, and crossing south through the Han River, which is not considered turbulent, is Hanzhou in the southwest.

Early in the morning of that day, a rare official carriage came up on the official road of the canyon more than ten miles outside Sanguan. The canyon was not deep, with dense trees on one side and a river trough that was four or five meters deep and dozens of meters wide on the other side. The official road in the middle could accommodate ten carriages in parallel, making it spacious and stylish.

The convoy went out of the seclusion and had dozens of frames in front and behind. The carriages were pulled with roofed frames in front and the ox carriages were pulled with open-top trucks in back and behind. There were a team of hundreds of officers and soldiers guarding each with swaying flags and complete armor. If it weren't for the hundreds of ragged refugees following the convoy, they would have looked a little majestic.

The officers and soldiers were in line as they walked, and they looked straight, and the team was quite neat. It was obvious that they were well-trained, but the refugees behind the convoy were extremely chaotic. It was already late autumn, and the weather was cold one day after another. In addition, the rain had not cleared up for several days. The coldness of the mountain wind in the canyon was pierced into the bone marrow. However, few refugees could see those wearing thick clothes, and most of them had to expose their arms or calves. Some older or younger people were pale and bloodless. They were stiff and snuggled up to each other. They would fall down if they didn't know where to support them.

You know, even if this place still belongs to the Jingzhou area, after all, it has already been out of Sanguan. Once you leave the convoy, it is very dangerous to survive in such a canyon for one night. Not to mention monsters, even if you encounter wolves, it will be a result of death. In addition, at first glance, most of them don’t even have a simple cloth bag and don’t have any food to store. If you leave this official convoy that will give some porridge every day, you can’t hold on to the next city to beg for it, and even if you can’t meet monsters and beasts, you won’t be able to survive.

So even if it is difficult, no one really falls out.

Because if they didn't even have the strength to support themselves, they wouldn't have the courage to walk out of that barrier at the beginning. Even if the cold winter comes, it would be difficult to survive in Jingzhou, and they wouldn't dare.

The convoy slowly moved forward, and after bypassing a low hill opposite the river trough, the entire team gradually stopped and stopped.

Because on the official road ahead, piles of stones and broken wood were thrown everywhere and blocked the road completely. It was obviously not a natural formation such as landslides, but it was obviously artificial.

"Hold the shield!"

The black-faced and bearded man led by the officers and soldiers at the forefront of the convoy immediately became alert. While shouting to order the officers and soldiers to be on guard, he took off the shield from behind to protect him. His bull eyes stared at the mountains and forests on both sides, quietly and without any anger.

He drew his sword in his right hand and held it in his hand. His whole body was slightly bent, as if he could attack the prey at any time. While he was on guard, he turned around and looked back at the rear of the convoy. The adjutant who was left there specifically heard his shouts and ordered the rear team to set up a guard.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and the refugees who followed the last gathered in panic and did not dare to move. Even the people who were guarded in the middle were not afraid to go out. They either moved like petrified or skillfully hid on the side of the frame and stared around with their terrified eyes.

The black-faced man was also filled with chills. This was the core of the Dading Dynasty. Jingzhou, where the imperial capital was located, only ten miles outside Sanguan, someone dared to block the official road in a bold manner. If it weren't for the emergence of an emerging bandit that had burned his brains, then...

Before the black-faced man could go down, the buzzing sound from the mountains and forests across the river immediately made his heart beat wildly. With the sound of arrows breaking through the air from the sky, the black-faced man roared and hissed, "The enemy attacks!! Constructing a shield formation facing the river!!!"

The 100-man team in front of the convoy first reacted. They raised their shields and lowered their bodies, and moved slowly like flowing water. They quickly formed a shield wall, bounced away most of the arrows that were shot.

The black-faced man was not proud at all. He quickly integrated into a corner of the shield formation, then turned to see the end of the convoy, and was immediately shocked and angry!

After a sparse rain of arrows, the refugee group that was originally crowded with a group was crying and rushing towards the convoy. The 100-man team behind the convoy could not react as well as the front team. They had not yet completely formed a shield formation, and were actually dispersed under the impact of the refugee group!

The people in the dark were probably waiting for this moment. The arrows that had poured towards the entire convoy immediately changed direction and fell towards the chaos at the end of the convoy!

Suddenly, blood rose in the crowd, wailing, crying, and falling softly to the ground and struggling in despair, pushing and grabbing someone who blocked his own house, and it was a mess! The black-faced man suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Shield formation, move horizontally, in the direction of the back team!"

With a command, the front team, which was basically intact, moved. Without the suppression of the flying arrow, the movement speed of the shield array was not slow. The official road was very wide, and there was no problem with the entire shield array moving from one side of the convoy to the river trough.

But when the front team moved, the convoy that was still stable in place suddenly became riots. The coachmen who were in the front line, who were originally evading arrows quickly climbed onto the frame, shouted and drove the carriage and turned around, and were about to run back from the other side of the convoy! The other coachmen saw where there were still people who were willing to park in place to act as the pioneer of the convoy, and even the ox carriage drivers who were originally in the back team drove the carriage and turned back. After all, the Sanguan was more than ten miles behind. If these damn bandits were given the courage of Xiongxin and leopard, they would never dare to chase them under the Sanguan wall!

Just as the black-faced man was frightened and furious at the chaotic scene in front of him, a shocking and explosive shout suddenly came from the forest on the side of the mountain behind the convoy!

"Dare you, rats!!"

Accompanied by that angrily shout were two light blue lights that flashed away.

The two light blue lights intersected in the forest, and two golden lights hit tens of meters near the official road. The moment the four lights intersected, it seemed that the time and space between heaven and earth had a brief pause. Then, the light disappeared, and a dull sound like a huge drum exploded in everyone's heart!

"Dong--!"

Then, broken wood flew into the sky, and the earth and stones were like rain!

A large pit of ten meters radius was immediately formed at the location where the explosion occurred!

There are no plants and trees in a radius of dozens of meters!!

The two unlucky ox carts that were closest to the explosion had already been blown away by shock waves and fell into the river trough. The coachman and the ox died without even shouting. The other ox carts that had not yet escaped were also blown crookedly. The lucky driver could still cough up blood. The unlucky ones had already fallen into a coma and had no idea of ​​life and death...

Just when the battlefield fell into extremely short silence.

The curtains of a carriage in the convoy ahead were lifted up in a corner, revealing a beautiful face that was not like the world.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like the moon, like spring water in the Yaochi, with a smile on her mouth, like rain moistening cherries, jade face and peach cheeks, and slender neck bones. Her fingers like spring bamboo shoots pinched the curtain, revealing a piece of white snow cream...

Suddenly, an arrow struck the beautiful scene and almost shot into the carriage with her wrist!

The tail of the arrow nailed to the wall of the car was shook continuously.
Chapter completed!
