The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 70 disappears into thin air
The next day, just as the sky was getting light, a hint of white quietly appeared in the sky.

Under the weathered Fuzhou City, seven or eight soldiers guarding the gate were yawning, leaning on their spears, looking drowsy, as if they had not yet woken up.

Fuzhou is located in southern Liaoning, with Gaizhou, Ximucheng and other important passes to resist the attack of the Later Jin army. Although it is outside the pass, there has been no war for a long time, and the soldiers guarding the city have become lax.

"Da da da!"

At this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves echoed across the earth, like the sound of iron bones colliding, the evening drum and the morning bell, deafening.

Suddenly, they heard a sound of heaven collapsing and earth splitting. The soldiers guarding the city woke up instantly, opened their eyes wide and looked at the soldiers of the Bordered Blue Banner who were rushing towards them, fear arose in their hearts.

Before the soldiers guarding the gate could react, two thousand soldiers of the Bordered Blue Banner led by Oboi broke into the undefended Fuzhou City like a whirlwind.

The shrill shouts and cries of killing lasted for a whole hour, and then gradually died down.

Through the creaking city gate, the bluestone-paved streets were littered with corpses, and tears of blood gathered into streams, like red silk threads, very dazzling.

The tall and majestic inner city, the once magnificent and prominent Ouyang family is now in its darkest hour, and a century of wealth and prosperity is destroyed in one day.

All the male members of the family, from the elderly in their seventies and eighties to newborn babies, died, and their skulls were rolling all over the floor.

The women in the back house were driven like cattle and sheep, and the soldiers of the Bordered Blue Banner riding on tall horses flirted with them wantonly. If the mission was not urgent, they would have rushed forward long ago.

Box after box of gold, silver, jewelry, rare medicinal materials, etc. were piled up like a mountain, dazzling the eyes and making them bright.

After all the property and women were looted, Fuzhou City was burned down on Oboi's order.

The huge fire was burning with a crackling sound, and the thick smoke was billowing straight into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and could be seen dozens of miles away.

From Fuzhouwei to Jinzhouwei, all of them fell in just three days. The once aristocratic families disappeared into thin air, and the noble ladies became slaves of others.

Two or three hundred thousand people, under the supervision of two thousand soldiers of the Bordered Blue Banner, walked along the muddy official road, taking one step forward and one step backward like puppets who had lost their souls.

It was a huge black crowd, stretching for dozens of miles with no end in sight.

At the same time, on the hillside of Huya Mountain, in the endless houses, the sound of iron hammering continued day and night, like a beautiful melody lingering in everyone's ears.

Beside the fire, a burly blacksmith wearing a coarse cloth shirt was swinging a big hammer in his hand and hammering again and again. Soon, a simple half-body armor took shape.

After a cup of tea, the half-armor, which had not yet completely cooled down, was placed into the prepared quenching solution by the blacksmith. It made a "sizzling" sound, and a large amount of white smoke rose, filling the air with smoky smoke.

When the mist disappeared, a silver-white half-body armor appeared in front of everyone, shining brightly, with mysterious starry sky patterns on it, adding a sense of mystery.

"Master Zhao, how is the half-body armor being cast?"

Dongmei, who had double spiral buns in her hair, wore a black suit, and had a dagger on her waist, looked at the freshly made half-body armor in front of her and asked anxiously.

The military situation was urgent. In order to resist the Later Jin Dynasty, under the order of Shen Yuanliang, all the shoddy iron armor seized from Yongning City was recycled and forged into half-body armor.

"Butler, we will be able to make three thousand sets of half-armor in two days."

"It's just that these armors have not been further processed. They are just rough. They may be a little uncomfortable to wear."

Master Zhao, who had a rough face and calloused hands, put down the big hammer in his hand, wiped the beads of sweat from his cheeks, and spoke in a muffled voice.

Thanks to Shen Yuanliang's refining of inferior iron into high-quality steel, and the use of hydraulic forging methods, in just ten days, three thousand sets of half-body armor were almost completed with everyone's concerted efforts.

"Right now, saving lives is the most important thing. Let's give the soldiers a set of armor first." Looking at the crude half-body armor on the forging table, Dongmei waved her hand and said nonchalantly.

The chances of survival on the battlefield are vastly different with or without armor. The comfort of the armor is not taken into consideration.

……

On March 8th, the sky was gloomy and the wind was blowing hard. It seemed like it was going to rain heavily, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

"That is?"

The soldiers stationed in Jingbian Fort accidentally caught a glimpse of the huge crowd in the distance. The familiar faces and familiar clothes made them stunned, and they suddenly had a bad guess in their hearts.

Three full days had passed, and Jinzhouwei and Fuzhouwei were probably no longer in existence under the iron hoof of the Bordered Blue Banner, and his wife, children and the elderly at home might have met with unexpected disasters.

Thinking of this, all the soldiers looked anxious, their eyes widened, searching for traces of their families in the sea of ​​people, once, twice, and after a while, cries were heard all over the city wall.

The sky is falling!
"What's wrong? Where does the crying come from?"

In the city, Ouyang Zerong, who was eating breakfast, heard faint crying in the distance. He dropped the ivory chopsticks in his hand and asked angrily.

Besieged in the small Jingbian Fort by the Bordered Blue Banner, Ouyang Zerong, the garrison commander of Fuzhou Guard, was already in a bad mood. Being tyrannical by nature, he whipped his soldiers from time to time to vent his resentment and fear.

It is so unlucky to hear funeral sounds so early in the morning!

"My lord, something terrible has happened."

Deputy General Yan Qingshan rushed in, tumbling and crawling, with a sad face and red eyes, looking as ugly as if his parents had died.

"What happened? Did the Jiannu invade?"

Ouyang Zerong stepped forward, tightly grasped the arm of Deputy General Yan Qingshan, and asked nervously with a look of panic in his eyes.

Although the Jingbian Fort was high and the moat was deep, the Later Jin Jiannu were no pushovers and they had conquered many fortified cities. Ouyang Zerong was afraid that the Later Jin Jiannu would attack.

"Sir, Fuzhouwei has fallen."

Deputy General Yan Qingshan burst into tears and sobbed as he reported this devastating news.

Being able to become a deputy general, the Yan family was also a well-known and wealthy family in Fuzhouwei, with many wives and concubines. Now that Fuzhouwei has fallen, the fate of the Yan family can be imagined.

Thinking of his lovely wife and concubines, and his relatively healthy parents, Yan Qingshan collapsed. He was like a walking corpse, in a daze.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

Upon hearing this sudden bad news, Fuzhou Guard Ouyang Zerong was stunned, stepped back repeatedly and fell to the ground.

Although he had known that this day would come, when it came, Ouyang Zerong still couldn't believe it, and a huge sadness surged in his heart.

It was difficult for him to accept this reality as he had been deceiving himself before. Ouyang Zerong always had a glimmer of hope in his heart. What if, what if the Later Jin army did not attack Fuzhou Wei!

For a moment, the entire Jingbian Fort was filled with crying.
