This ordinary cavalry general whose reputation in Northern Mang's border pass wasn't all that well known, perhaps he didn't know that not long ago, in another battlefield in Flow Province, there was a Northern Liang cavalry general who shouted out those tragic and stirring words' May the dead follow me in death '.
As Hong Jia rushed north and brought hundreds of thousands of people to the Beimang court, the martial spirit of the grasslands did not fade. However, it imperceptibly injected a soft atmosphere, just like the green grass on the grasslands year after year.
This border army cavalry general, who was only a Secondary Grade Four official, would occasionally head to the Xijing court to participate in military discussions. During that time, he met many civil officials. Most of them did not have the same temperament, and he never got along well with them. However, on the scattered celebratory banquets or the banquets where he was dragged to make up the numbers, he also heard some unimaginable foreign things.
For example, the Jiangnan apricot flowers in the misty rain, the deep flower branches, the shallow flower branches, and the branches welcoming spring.
He knew that he and the 1,600 men behind him were destined to never see the scenery of Jiangnan.
It was just death.
This cavalry general pulled out his Beimang war knife and shouted angrily, "Kill!"
When Xie Xi Bian left the city, he was riding a Beiliang war horse. At this moment, he stopped behind the monk soldier formation and raised his head to look over. He smiled slightly.
Twenty thousand monk soldiers fought on foot against cavalry. Very quickly, a group of ten thousand Beiliang light cavalry would return the favor and fight on foot.
Moreover, Beiliang actually had the advantage in numbers on both sides. This kind of good situation that should not have appeared on the Liang Mang battlefield was naturally due to one of Da Chu's twin jade annulus.
However, when Xie Xi Bian saw the Beimang cavalry valiantly heading to their deaths, this Liuzhou deputy general could not help but think of the tragic battle at Miyun Pass. The corpses piled up like a mountain. It was impossible to tell whether they were the Beiliang Frontier Army or the Beimang barbarians.
It turned out that the Beiliang cavalry was not the only one who viewed life and death as a small matter. Beimang was also the same.
After that, Xie had a long career in the military and officialdom in the western frontier. As a peerless Confucian general who eventually reached the rank of second-rank general in Liyang and received the title of 'Pillar of the State', as the cornerstone of the northwest of the country, he had never been called a 'barbarian' in his life, even though the overall situation was already set and he continued to suppress the rebellions in the grasslands time and time again.
These two words were used as the prefix for Beimang soldiers.

To the south of the outer city of Huaiyang Pass, the rider who didn't enter the city stopped alone on the yellow sand slope, as if he was waiting for someone.
In next to no time, a tall and sturdy figure tore through the sky and flashed over with an imposing manner.
The young Vassal King, who had left the eighty riders of the Wu family behind, dismounted from his horse and asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"
One of them, a man from the sect, had an ugly look on his face. "By the time I arrived at Dunhuang City, it was already too late. Tens of thousands of grassland cavalry had already broken through the city and were still heavily surrounded. After I broke into the city, I didn't find the woman you mentioned. After that, I only found out that the man named Xu Pu had died in the battle."
Hsu Fengnian pursed his lips tightly and trembled slightly.
Xu Pu.
A man he once called Uncle Xu when he was young.
Like Wu Qi, he was the first cavalry general of the Xu family. His seniority in the army was even higher than Chen Zhibao, Yuan Zuozong, and Chu Lushan.
Huyan Daguan, who had secretly sneaked into the grassland of Beimang, hesitated. It seemed that there were some words on the tip of his tongue that were difficult to say.
Hsu Fengnian smiled bitterly, "Is there any worse news than this?"
Huyan Daguan was silent.
Hsu Fengnian calmly said, "Say it."
Huyan Daguan breathed a sigh of relief, "That old woman gave the order to the cavalry that besieged the city. No matter if Dunhuang City was fighting or surrendering, when the city was broken, they should kill anyone they saw."
Hsu Fengnian slowly loosened the reins of the horse.
His figure instantly disappeared.
The next moment, there was a loud bang on the high slope.
Huyan Daguan stood in the north of the hillside and shook his wrist casually.
The young king stood on the edge of the hillside in the south. There was a sudden gully between the two.
Huyan Daguan said expressionlessly, "There are at least thirty to forty thousand Beimang cavalry waiting for you to walk into the trap. In addition, there are hundreds of Spider Web spies who are personally led by Li Mibi. They are all waiting for you."
There was another thunderous bang.
Huyan Daguan maintained the posture of hammering forward with his fists and said sternly, "Hsu Fengnian! Don't you know that the reason why there is no definite news about that woman is because the old woman and Li Mibi deliberately lure you to die?! Can't you see through such a crude method?! "
In an instant, the loud bang was far louder than the previous two.
Huyan Daguan almost used all his strength to push back the young man who was determined to go north.
Huyan Daguan coldly said, "Since you can't reason with your mouth, and you don't listen anyway, that's fine! Although I, Huyan Daguan, may not be able to defeat you, but it is not difficult to fight half to death. I want to see how you, Hsu Fengnian, will enter Dunhuang city! "
Perhaps it was because of the old saying of the Central Plains that one should not do things more than three times was true.
The young king no longer continued to rush to the north. Instead, he slowly walked to the north of the high slope and stood side by side with Huyan Daguan, one facing north and one facing south.
The young man squatted down with his hands in his sleeves and quietly looked to the north.
Huyan Daguan comforted him, "If you don't show up, she will have a chance to live. Do you understand?"
The young man nodded, "I just figured it out."
Huyan Daguan was relieved.
If he really wanted to have a life and death battle with this young man, he was really afraid.
There was no other way. He, Huyan Daguan, was an old man with a family to feed.
Huyan Daguan, who was in a complicated mood, could only sigh.
The young man's lips moved slightly and whispered.
"Don't say that I'm so poor that my sleeves carry the wind. Don't say that when I am sleepy, I have no place to sleep. Don't say that when I am thirsty, I have no wine. Don't say that my life is not happy. I have a three-foot sword hanging at my waist … There is no one as lucky as me in the world. There is no one as lucky as me … "
