Chapter 292 Returning to Donglin County
The Golden Yang Eagle flew for several days, and finally arrived in Donglin County. It passed through several counties along the way, but they were all captured by the Nanman Kingdom. What they saw filled Ye Chen's heart with anger.
From time to time, thick smoke rose into the sky. Wherever the Great Chalk Army of the Nanman Kingdom went, county towns, small towns, and villages were all turned into ruins. The corpses of civilians were everywhere, and all valuable things were robbed. , houses were burned down, like locusts passing through.
There are corpses everywhere, blood flowing like rivers, the army of the Nanman Kingdom is simply inhumane and commits all kinds of evil!
It was only then that Ye Chen realized how cruel the war in this world was. Hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered wantonly like this, which had a great impact on Ye Chen's concept.
"Brother Ye Chen, were these people killed by people from the Nanman 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 were clenched loudly, and only then did he really understand what Emperor Mingwu said. For the people of the Xiwu Empire, it is indeed much better for the people of the Xiwu Empire to be in charge of the country than the Nanman Kingdom.
"A bunch of beasts!" Ye Chen cursed angrily. If he had enough strength, he would have reached the imperial capital of the Nanman Kingdom long ago, and killed the leader of the Nanman Kingdom, Tuoba Hongye, with a single palm! "Leave your life as a dog for the time being, and one day I will take it!"
Ye Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, and urged the golden yangdiao to speed up and fly towards the valley of Ye's family.
"I don't know what happened to the clansmen. They should be fine if they stay in the valley."
The golden yang eagle galloped away, and finally reached the sky above the Ye family valley, the golden yang eagle circled and fell.
In the valley of the Ye family, when a group of people saw the golden sun eagle in the sky, they knew that Ye Chen had returned, and the whole valley fell into a boil.
"The patriarch is back!"
"Great, the patriarch is finally back!"
Seeing the golden sun eagle fall, a group of clansmen gathered over one after another.
Ye Chen jumped off the Golden Sun Eagle and looked around. He found that there were few people in the valley. He frowned, looked at Ye Moyuan, and asked, "Uncle Moyuan, why are there so few people in the valley? What about my father and the others?" , and why haven't you seen Ye Meng and the others?"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Moyuan burst into tears, and said urgently: "Patriarch, please save the old patriarch and the others, right?"
"What's going on?" Seeing Ye Moyuan's appearance, Ye Chen's heart sank.
Ye Moyuan hurriedly explained the matter. After Donglin County was attacked, many people were killed and injured. Seeing that the army of the Nanman Kingdom was about to attack the county, the messengers sent by Ye Zhantian, Ye Zhanlong and others were delayed. The people who were able to contact Yechen County, which is far away in the imperial capital, are about to be massacred. Ye Zhantian and others finally decided to gather the masters of the Ye family's eighth and ninth ranks, as well as some aristocratic families in Donglin County to protect the people of Donglin County. Withdrew, and after the Nanman Kingdom heard the news, they also sent a large number of troops to intercept it.
As for Ye Meng, Ye Xuan and the others, they must have asked to join the battle. After being stunned by Ye Zhantian and the others, they were sent to the Central Empire.
The clansmen who stayed in the valley didn't have much profound energy. After waiting for two days, Ye Zhantian and others still didn't come back, so they became anxious.
Father and the others went to cover the evacuation of the people in Donglin County City. Ye Chen suddenly became anxious.
"Uncle Moyuan, I'll leave this place to you. Don't let the clansmen go out of the valley. I'll save my father and them." Ye Chen jumped back onto the back of the golden sun eagle, and the golden sun eagle rose into the air.
"Yes, Patriarch.
"Ye Moyuan and the others looked up and found that the golden sun eagle had already flown into the air and rushed away. They could only pray for Ye Chen, Ye Zhantian and others in the valley, hoping that they would 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 Underworld Eagle and whizzed past in the sky. During the past few days, Ye Zhantian and others escorted these people. We can only go west, cross the Yanshan Mountains, enter the Xiling Prairie, prepare to detour around Ganchuan, and then go north to the capital of God.
This is also the reason why Ye Chen didn't meet Ye Zhantian and others when he came back from the imperial capital.
At the beginning, there were only two to three million people who fled 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, black team could cover most of the Xiling Prairie.
Along the way, people kept dying, some because they were too exhausted, some were starved to death, although Ye Zhantian and others kept providing some food for these fleeing people, but for such a huge number of people , is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.
In addition, iron cavalry from the Southern Man Kingdom would appear from time to time to strangle these fleeing civilians. Ye Zhantian and the others would have to ride the Gray Underworld Eagle to the place where the battle took place, and fight with the Southern Man Kingdom cavalry. Ye Zhantian and others fought hard, and these people might be slaughtered.
However, after fighting for several days in a row, Ye Zhantian and others were also highly stressed and exhausted, almost reaching the limit of their bodies.
They don't know what happened in the imperial capital yet. They only know that all the counties along the way were captured by the Nanman Kingdom, and countless people were killed and injured. Seeing those desolate counties and cities, they were filled with despair.
These fleeing people moved forward slowly, looking at the imperial capital in the distance, Emperor Mingwu was their only hope, and they hoped that Emperor Mingwu could support them.
"Grandpa, who are they?" A disheveled little girl looked up and saw a group of big gray eagles flying over the sky. There were several people standing on each big eagle. The little girl looked at the old man beside her with 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 muddy hands, and there was a trace of tears in his cloudy old eyes, "Wen'er, if you arrive at the imperial capital safely, When we grow up, we must remember these benefactors, they guarded us with their lives."
"En." The little girl still doesn't understand it very well, but the tears of grandpa are deeply reflected in her heart.
The people who fled would thank each other from the bottom of their hearts every time they saw the gray eagle flying over the sky, and learned from the people around them that these people who stopped the iron cavalry of the Southern Man Kingdom day and night were from A place called Yejiabao in Donglin County.
The army of the Nanman Kingdom has not yet received the order from the Nanman King. There are probably hundreds of troops and a hundred thousand cavalry trailing behind these refugees. They are like ferocious wolves, attacking from time to time. Kill countless people, and then retreat quickly.
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 800 people at the tenth level. With the addition of Ye Zhantian and others, there are nine in total. Because of Ye Zhantian's strength and the master-level Huiming Condor, 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 distributed some of them to Xu Jian and other trusted family masters.
They had dozens of battles with the iron cavalry of the Nanman Kingdom, and both sides suffered injuries. Therefore, the iron cavalry of the Nanman Kingdom only followed behind for the time being and did not launch a large-scale attack. , There are more and more iron cavalry from the Nanman Kingdom following behind, reaching a giant of 200,000. After entering the Xiling Plain, an arduous battle is about to begin.
Because of the grassland, where is the world of cavalry.
Although they were very unwilling to bring these refugees into the grassland, Ye Zhantian and others had no choice. The other roads were either blocked, or the mountains where monsters were rampant.
The iron cavalry of the Nanman Kingdom made up their minds from the very beginning, to drive the refugees into the Xiling Prairie, and then began to surround them.
"Brother, the iron cavalry of the Nanman Kingdom has almost assembled." Ye Zhanying rode the gray underworld eagle, flew to the vicinity of Ye Zhantian's gray underworld eagle, looked at Ye Zhantian, and said worriedly. Ye Zhanxiong went to the imperial capital to look for Ye Chen, and Ye Zhanlong escorted the juniors of the family to the Central Empire, and the rest of the Zhan clan basically arrived.
"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 members of the Ye family, "Men of the Ye family, I, Ye Zhan Heaven has saluted you, you didn't embarrass our Ye family."
"Brother."
"We are willing to live and die together with Big Brother!"
The clansmen of the Zhan generation had tears in their eyes, but their eyes were extremely firm.
Ye Zhantian ordered the Gray Underworld Eagle to descend slowly, looked at the masters gathered below, and said in a deep voice: "Behind us are tens of millions of refugees. If we retreat, they will lose their support. , so we cannot retreat. Today, in troubled times, the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed. Thank you today for fighting side by side with me, Ye Zhantian. I, Ye Zhantian, am grateful. Be life and death brothers!"
"Master Ye is too serious."
"Being loyal to the country is our duty as a warrior."
"Patriarch Ye can leave, but if he stays with me to live and die together, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Xu Jian and the others below said loudly that after so many days of arduous fighting, they admired Ye Zhantian from the bottom of their hearts, and many of them had already put life and death aside. Anyway, it's a dead end game, kill one to even out, kill two to earn one. The blood of these martial arts practitioners also came up.
On a high mountain in the distance, a man from the Nanman Kingdom in golden armor watched from afar and looked at the black refugees, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. His name was Wei Guyan, and he was one of the commanders of the Nanman Kingdom. One hundred thousand iron cavalry from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.
Under his command, the iron cavalry of the Nanman Kingdom captured thirty-one cities, three of which were county towns, and the iron cavalry of the Nanman Kingdom were invincible.
After learning the news that the Donglin Ye family organized forces to cover the refugees going north, he began to chase and intercept these refugees, drove them into the Xiling Prairie, and then mobilized 200,000 elite cavalry to massacre these refugees Exhausted.
