The Golden Sun Eagle flew for several days and finally arrived in Donglin County. It passed through several counties along the way, all of which were captured by the Nanman Kingdom. The sight he saw filled Ye Chen with anger. www!QuanBen-XiaoShuo!COm
From time to time, thick smoke rose into the sky. Wherever the Nanman army went, counties, towns, and villages were all turned into ruins. The corpses of civilians were everywhere. All valuable things and houses were robbed. Burnt, like locusts passing through.
There are corpses everywhere and rivers of blood. The army of the Southern Barbarians is simply inhumane and commits all kinds of evil!
Only then did Ye Chen realize how cruel the wars in this world were. Millions of people were slaughtered wantonly, which had a great impact on Ye Chen's ideas.
"Brother Ye Chen, were these people killed by people from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom?" Xiaoyi was shocked when he saw the situation below. In his mind, killing people has always been a wrong thing.
Ye Chen's fists clenched loudly, and he finally understood what Emperor Mingwu said. For the people of the Xiwu Empire, having Emperor Mingwu in charge of the country was indeed much better than being controlled by the Nanman Kingdom.
"A bunch of beasts!" Ye Chen cursed angrily. If he had enough strength, he would have gone to the Imperial Capital of the Southern Barbarians and killed the leader of the Southern Barbarians, Tuoba Hongye, with a single blow! "I'll leave you alive for now, I'll get it one day!"
Ye Chen suppressed the anger in his heart and urged the Golden Sun Eagle to speed up and fly towards the Yejia Valley.
"I don't know how the clan members are. They stay in the valley and should be fine."
The Golden Sun Eagle galloped away and finally reached the sky above the Yejia Valley. The Golden Sun Eagle circled and landed.
In the Ye Family Valley, people from all clans saw the Golden Sun Eagle in the sky and knew that Ye Chen was back, and the entire valley was boiling.
"The patriarch is back!"
"Great, the clan leader is finally back!"
Saw the golden sun eagle fall. People from various tribes gathered over one after another.
Ye Chen jumped off the Golden Sun Eagle, looked around, and found that there were a few people in the valley. He frowned, looked at Ye Moyuan aside, and asked: "Uncle Moyuan, why are there so few people in the valley? My father and the others Well, why haven’t you seen Ye Meng or the others?”
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Moyuan's tears suddenly flowed down, and he said urgently: "Clan Chief. Please save the old Patriarch and the others quickly?"
"What's going on?" Seeing Ye Moyuan's appearance, Ye Chen's heart sank.
Ye Moyuan quickly told the story. After Donglin County was attacked, the people suffered numerous casualties. Seeing that the Nanman Army was about to attack the county, the messenger eagles sent by Ye Zhantian, Ye Zhanlong and others failed to do so. After contacting Ye Chen who was far away in the imperial capital, the people in the county were about to be massacred. Ye Zhantian and others finally decided to gather the masters of the eighth and ninth levels of the Ye family and above, as well as some aristocratic families in Donglin County. Covering the evacuation of the people in Donglin County, the Nanman Kingdom also sent a large number of troops to intercept after learning the news.
As for Ye Meng, Ye Xuan and others, they must ask to participate in the war. After being knocked unconscious by Ye Zhantian and others, he was sent to the Central Empire.
The tribesmen who stayed in the valley all had little profound energy cultivation. They waited for two days. Ye Zhantian and others still didn't come back, so they became anxious.
My father and the others went to cover the evacuation of the people in Donglin County, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. Ye Chen suddenly became anxious.
"Uncle Moyuan, I'll leave this place to you. Don't let the tribesmen leave the valley. I'll save my father and the others." Ye Chen jumped back on the back of the golden sun eagle, and the golden sun eagle soared into the air.
"Yes, clan leader." Ye Moyuan and others looked up and found that the Golden Sun Eagle had already flown into the air and swooped away. They could only pray for Ye Chen, Ye Zhantian and others in the valley, hoping that they could return safely.
Ganchuan County, Xiling Prairie.
Countless people, like black ants, marched towards the depths of the Xiling Prairie.
Ye Zhantian, Ye Zhanlong and others rode the gray eagles whizzing past in the sky. In the past few days, Ye Zhantian and others escorted these people, first going north, but they were intercepted by the army of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. In the end, they could only Heading westward, we crossed the Yanshan Mountains and entered the Xiling Prairie, planning to detour around Ganchuan and then head north to the Holy Capital.
This is also the reason why Ye Chen didn't meet Ye Zhantian and others when he came back from the imperial capital.
At first, there were only two to three million people fleeing, all of them fleeing from Donglin County. Later, after passing through some counties along the way, more and more people joined the fleeing team, reaching tens of millions. The huge, dark team could cover most of the Xiling Prairie.
Along the way, people kept dying, some because of exhaustion, and some from starvation. Although Ye Zhantian and others kept providing some food to these fleeing people, for such a large number of people, , is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
In addition, the cavalry of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom will appear from everywhere from time to time to strangle the fleeing people. Ye Zhantian and others must ride the Gray Eagle and rush to the place where the battle takes place to fight the cavalry of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. If not Ye Zhantian and others fought hard, and these people were probably going to be slaughtered.
However, after several days of fierce fighting, Ye Zhantian and others were highly stressed and exhausted, almost reaching their physical limits.
They still don't know what happened in the imperial capital. They only know that all the counties along the way have been captured by the Southern Barbarians, and there have been countless casualties among the people. Seeing those desolate counties and cities, their hearts are filled with despair.
These fleeing people moved forward slowly, looking at the imperial capital in the distance. Emperor Mingwu was their only hope. They hoped that Emperor Mingwu could hold up a sky for them.
"Grandpa, who are they?" A little girl with unkempt hair looked up and saw a group of large gray eagles flying over the sky. There were several people standing on each large eagle. The little girl looked at the old man beside her with a pair of clear eyes and asked.
"Their surname is Ye, and they are our patron saints." The thin old man touched the little girl's head with his dirt-covered hands. A trace of tears shone in his muddy old eyes, "Wen'er, if you arrive at the imperial capital safely, When you grow up, you must remember these benefactors, who protected us with their lives."
"Yeah." The little girl doesn't quite understand yet, but her grandfather's tears are deeply reflected in her heart.
The fleeing people would express their heartfelt thanks every time they saw the Gray Eagles flying above. They learned from the people around them that these people who kept blocking the Southern Barbarian cavalry day and night came from the East. There is a place called Yejiabao in Lin County.
The army of the Southern Barbarians has not yet received the order from the leader of the Southern Barbarians. There are probably hundreds of teams and a hundred thousand cavalry following these refugees. They are like ferocious wild wolves, launching attacks and killing each other from time to time. Countless people then quickly retreated.
Yejiabao plus the masters gathered from Donglin County and surrounding counties, there are more than 3,800 people at the seventh level, more than 1,600 people at the eighth level, more than 800 people at the ninth level and above, and more than 1000 people at the tenth level. , plus Ye Zhantian and others, there are nine in total. Because Ye Zhantian is stronger and has the Earth Master-level Gray Dark Eagle, he became the leader of this team.
In terms of equipment, they are also extremely sophisticated. Yejiabao has many first-grade spiritual treasures, and Ye Zhantian generously gave some of them to Xu Jian and other trustworthy masters from aristocratic families.
They had dozens of battles with the Southern Barbarian cavalry, both sides suffered injuries. Therefore, the Southern Barbarian cavalry only followed behind for the time being and did not launch a large-scale attack. However, after passing through several counties, they followed There are more and more Nanman cavalry behind, reaching 200,000. After entering the Xiling Plain, a arduous battle is about to begin.
Because the grassland is the world of cavalry.
Although they were very reluctant to bring these refugees into the grassland, Ye Zhantian and others had no choice. The other roads were either blocked or were in the mountains where monsters were rampant.
The iron cavalry of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom had made up their mind from the beginning to drive the refugees into the Xiling Prairie and then start hunting them.
"Brother, the cavalry of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom have almost been assembled." Ye Zhanying rode the Gray Eagle and flew near Ye Zhantian's Gray Eagle. He looked at Ye Zhantian and said worriedly. Ye Zhanxiong went to the imperial capital to find Ye Chen. Ye Zhanlong escorted the younger members of the family to the Central Empire, and basically all the remaining members of the Zhan generation were here.
"We should have expected that they drove us into the Xiling Prairie just to launch the final blow." Ye Zhantian looked at Ye Zhanying and other Ye family members, "Men of the Ye family, I, Ye Zhantian Salute to you, you did not bring shame to our Ye family."
"Brother."
"We are willing to live and die together with Big Brother!"
All the tribesmen of the Zhan generation had tears in their eyes, but their eyes were extremely firm.
Ye Zhantian ordered the Gray Eagle to descend slowly, looked at the experts gathered below, and said solemnly: "Behind us are tens of millions of refugees. If we retreat, they will lose their support." , so we cannot retreat. Today, we are living in troubled times, the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed. Today, I thank you for fighting side by side with me, Ye Zhantian. I, Ye Zhantian, am grateful. If there is an afterlife, I, Ye Zhantian, would like to meet you again. Be brothers of life and death!”
"Master Ye's words are serious."
"It is our duty as warriors to be loyal to our country."
"Master Ye can leave, but he still stays with me to live and die together. How can we be greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Xu Jian and others below all spoke loudly. After so many days of arduous fighting, they admired Ye Zhantian from the bottom of their hearts. Many of them had already put life and death aside. Anyway, it's a certain death situation. Kill one to even the game, kill two to gain one. The blood of these martial arts practitioners is also rising.
On a high mountain in the distance, a Nanman man wearing golden armor looked from a distance, looking at the dark crowd of refugees, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. His name was Wei Guyan, one of the commanders of the Nanman country, responsible for commanding the nearby 500,000 people. The Iron Cavalry of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.
Under his command, the Nanman Iron Cavalry captured thirty-one cities, three of which were county towns. They fought all the way, and the Nanman Iron Cavalry was invincible.
After learning that the Donglin Ye family organized forces to cover the refugees heading north, he began to chase and intercept these refugees and drove them into the Xiling Prairie. Then he mobilized 200,000 elite cavalry to massacre these refugees. .
