At the border of the Great Qin, within the territory of the former State of Zhao.
This place was called Daliu County because there was a willow tree that had existed since the Spring and Autumn Period beside the county government.
Daliu County was the northernmost county of Great Qin. Ever since Zhao Wuling King started to practice Hu clothing, riding, and archery, the horses and food in the entire country of Zhao became extremely rich. Daliu County was the same.
Back when the First Emperor was conquering the Six Nations, the State of Zhao was his biggest headache.
The county magistrate, Zhao Tian, was also a noble from the original Zhao State, but he only had administrative power and no military power.
The black armored guards were guarding this place. Other than the commander of the black armored guards, no one else could order them around.
The originally beautiful and rich Daliu County was now covered in ruins, and the streets were filled with scenes of hell.
Broken limbs were scattered everywhere, blood stains gathered into a river, mosquitoes flew, and the stench was everywhere.
Three days ago, the Xiongnu cavalry had flattened this place. Wherever they went, no man survived, and all the women were taken away.
Because of the stubborn resistance of the black armored guards stationed here, they did not move the grain from the county granary. However, the surviving black armored guards knew that these Xiongnu people would not let this matter rest.
In the tent of the black armored guards, the featherman silently wiped his bronze sword.
The signal for reinforcements had been sent out, but it would take five days for the message to reach Meng Tian.
It would take eight days for the urgent military intelligence to reach Xianyang.
There were no more people here. Most of the people had been killed by the Xiongnu, and the survivors had fled from here.
Even so, he could not escape. Once Daliu County fell, it would be equivalent to opening up an opening for the Xiongnu in the north, and the Xiongnu would be able to use this place to launch a sneak attack on Great Qin.
The Great Wall built by General Meng Tian would also be useless.
The tent was opened, and the feathered husband walked out.
The black armored guards outside were either sitting on their sides or lying on the ground.
There were also some injured black armored guards lying in the military tent. Because the county doctor had escaped, no one in the entire county knew medicine. They were just lying there waiting for death.
Everyone lost their morale and fighting spirit.
Feather Husband clapped his hands, and these people looked at him.
"My good sons of China, this is China's territory. No one else is allowed to touch it.”
After a long time, no one responded. Everyone shook their heads, dead.
They knew that the Xiongnu would attack again, and they would definitely die in battle.
No one would be filled with courage in the face of death, even if they were once the fierce army that conquered the six countries.
But in front of the Xiongnu cavalry, they could not withstand a single blow.
When Feather Husband saw everyone's reaction, he immediately became furious. He pulled out his bronze sword and pointed it at the throat of the person closest to him. He cursed angrily,"If you're a Chinese man, stand up for me, or I'll kill you right now!”
The man shook his head helplessly and said in a daze,"Kill, kill. It's better to die in your hands than in the hands of those beasts.”
The feathered man raised his long sword but could not bring himself to do it. He stomped his feet in disappointment and threw the bronze sword on the ground.
The atmosphere was deathly silent. After a long while, Feather Husband spoke.
"Since ancient times, China has always been a place where people don't offend us. If people offend us, we will definitely offend them!”
"These Xiongnu people have gone too far. They are like a sword hanging over our heads, and they attack us from time to time just because we don't have advanced horsemanship.”
At this point, Feather Husband clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred.
"Think about it, if these Xiongnu people attack the heart of China from here, what will happen to your fathers, brothers, and sons?”
At this moment, some people's turbid eyes began to flash with tears. They didn't dare to think about it. The consequences were obvious. They would be cruelly tortured to death!
"Think about it. What will happen to your wives, sisters, and daughters?”
This question made everyone's heart tremble. If the men were killed, these women would experience endless pain under the abuse of the Xiongnu people. Moreover, this humiliation was not only for the people involved, but also for their relatives.
As the saying went, a warrior could be killed but not humiliated. It was fine to let them die, but the Xiongnu could not do such a humiliating thing!
Those who were sitting on the ground stood up. The people who had no fighting spirit previously clenched their fists tightly, and tears of unwillingness flowed out of their eyes.
"Defeat with death!"
It was unknown who said this first, but everyone shouted together,"Defeat with death!"
Everyone gripped their sharp blades tightly, their eyes filled with hatred.
Feather Husband looked at everyone's expressions and smiled in relief. He slowly hummed an oath.
"Jiujiu Old Qin, go to the national disaster together. Jiujiu Old Qin, restore our rivers and mountains.”
This was the oath they had sworn when they joined the black armored guards, and they had hummed the oath.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have returned to that hot-blooded moment. Their eyes were firm as they pointed their sharp blades at the sky and said in unison,
"Jiujiu Old Qin, go to the national disaster together. Jiujiu Old Qin, restore our rivers and mountains. We won't stop until the blood is drained!"
"Jiujiu Old Qin, go to the national disaster together. Jiujiu Old Qin, restore our rivers and mountains. We won't stop until the blood is drained!"
China had never been afraid of foreign invasions. Whether it was ancient or modern times, when friends came, they would have good wine, and when wolves came, they would have hunting rifles.
We will not bully the weak, nor will we fear the strong.
Even if he died, he would die gloriously. Even if he lost, he would not betray his country for glory.
This was not only a silent oath in the hearts of all the Chinese people, but it was also the last wish of all the ancestors who had lived on the Chinese continent since ancient times.
We Chinese are the only people in the world who don't live for the present.
We are different from other races. We live for our ancestors, for the glory of the Zhou Emperor, for the courage of the First Emperor, and for the bravery of the Han Emperor.
It was for the officials to worship the Great Tang, for the emperor to guard the country, for the king to die for the country, and for those who did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives when China was in danger.
That's why we can't retreat. We can't retreat at all!
"Report!"
At this moment, a black armored guard rushed into the military camp. He looked flustered and said in a trembling voice,"The Huns are here again."
"Good, good!"
Feather Husband laughed and waved his hand."Soldiers, bring out all the turbid wine from the general. After drinking the wine, follow me out of the camp to meet the enemy!”
Everyone knew that they had no chance of winning this battle, but at this moment, they did not care. They did not care at all.
So what if he lost? So what if I die?
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
The wine glasses shattered on the ground, as if they were facing death unflinchingly.
The feathered man picked up the bronze sword and pointed in the direction outside the city.""Leave the city! Meet the enemy!"
