Wei Sixian's younger brother, as the county magistrate of Wei County, did not fight with the attacking enemy troops to the last moment, but was frightened by the enemy and lost his fighting spirit, and wanted to open the city gate and surrender.

If they fight to the death and wait for rescue from the Great Zhou, the soldiers and civilians in the city may still have a chance of survival.

If we open the door and surrender, there will be no chance at all.

Seeing that the guarding general refused to surrender, Uncle Wei actually wanted to take his men to open the city gate. His intention to retreat also spread to the soldiers and civilians defending the city. The guarding general made a prompt decision and beheaded Uncle Wei, who took the lead.

Compassion does not command troops.

Under the thundering tactics of the defending general, the soldiers and civilians of Wei County once again strengthened their will and vowed to fight the Western Rong people to the last moment.

But there were too many Western Rong people, and the small town resistance before Wei County Magistrate eventually affected many people, causing them to counterattack for another two hours, but they were defeated and were defeated by spies in the city who sneaked into the city gate and almost opened it.

After the people in the city reacted, they used the bodies of the soldiers to block the city gates.

The bodies of the soldiers were not enough, there were also stones...

But the city was still broken.

The news that Uncle Wei had been hacked to death soon reached the Wei family. Old Mrs. Wei rolled her eyes and fainted.

The old lady finally woke up, but then she received news that the city could not be defended.

They want to leave.

There is only one city gate at the exit of Wei County.

Because Wei County was built on the mountain, it formed a dangerous semi-elliptical arc. Three city walls were built according to the terrain. Only a gate was opened in the direction of Lan County opposite. There were no gates on the other two walls.

Although they couldn't get out of the city gate, those locals who knew the route could go around the rocky mountain behind Wei County.

After escaping from Wei County, take a detour along the mountain road. After walking for dozens of miles, you can reach the northern mountains of Ningyuan County. Once you cross the mountains, you will be completely safe.

The mountains are dangerous.

If they were caught up by the roving soldiers of the Western Rong, they would surely die.

But if they continue to stay in the city, they will have no chance of survival once the city is captured.

If you escape from the back mountain, there is at least a glimmer of hope.

They acted decisively, packed up their things, and prepared to flee Wei County.

But they finally passed through the remote streets of Wei County and climbed up the stone mountain to the path outside Wei County.

The road on the stone mountain is difficult to travel on.

This place can be considered a barren land except for a very small amount of grass and trees.

Due to the drought this year, there are fewer plants in the mountains, and it is quite difficult to walk.

They didn't know how long they had been walking before they were stopped by several young and strong men who had escaped from the city.

The leader said, "They are the family of Wei County Magistrate! Hand over all the valuables!"

Aunt Wei hugged her valuables tightly, raised her eyebrows, and said, "You bunch of unruly people, you are wishful thinking! Earlier, my husband and the garrison commander summoned the young men in the city to guard the city wall, but you hid in the stone mountain. This is disobedience. If you are caught, you will be beheaded one by one! You even dared to rob. Aren't you afraid of committing a heavier crime and implicating your family?"

A dark-skinned man in coarse cloth came out and slapped Aunt Wei in the face.

"Wei County Magistrate wanted to surrender in the face of danger, but was beheaded by the participating generals. You thought we didn't know. If you want to say that the crime is aggravated, aren't you the ones being talked about? I remember that Wei County Magistrate's son is already fourteen years old, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Wei County has not had a county magistrate for many years. Over the past ten or twenty years, the position of county magistrate has been controlled by your Wei family. The people of Wei County have been poor and destitute, which has a lot to do with the inaction of your Wei family father and son. We ordinary people can't even eat, but your Wei family wears gold and silver, which shows that your Wei family has exploited the people and enriched yourselves!"

"That's right! You Wei family are all corrupt officials..."

Just then, they saw the city was broken and the Xirong people rushed in.

These young men couldn't help but get anxious.

"It must be that County Magistrate Wei wanted to surrender, which affected the morale and caused the Western Rong to come in. County Magistrate Wei usually doesn't care about the people and doesn't repair the city walls, making it so easy for the Western Rong to break in. It's easy for us to run away, but what about our families?"

"Go back, go back quickly and rescue them."

"Even if we go back, what's the point? Can our necks withstand the sabers of the Xirong people? They are all demons who kill without blinking an eye! If our family members fall into their hands, the men will be killed and the women will be humiliated!"

"Then let's run away!"

"Escape? Where to escape? Even if you can escape, you will be a refugee without family! You will have nothing!"

"What are you waiting for! Grab the Wei family's money and divide it up!"

For a moment, everyone rushed forward.

Aunt Wei and her cousins ​​were used to being high and mighty in Wei County, so there was no way they were willing to hand over all their valuables like that.

The cousin of the Wei family scolded, "You bunch of unruly people, when we get to Ningyuan County, I will make my uncle arrest you, throw you all into jail, and skin you alive!"

"Hehe, young lady, disaster is imminent, and you still want to skin us."

As he spoke, the dark-skinned man lifted her chin and said, "With a delicate skin and tender flesh like you, it's hard to say whether you can escape to Ningyuan County. You might be caught up by the Xirong men on the way, and they might..."

Several grown men looked at each other and smiled, revealing those obscene smiles that you know.

"Bastard!"

Cousin Wei could almost walk sideways in Wei County. She had never been humiliated like this before. She couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the other person in the face.

The wildness of this dark man was also aroused.

Originally, he just wanted to rob the money and leave with his friends.

He grabbed cousin Wei's hand, pulled her into his arms, and grinned: "Anyway, if you go out like this, you will still be abused by the Xirong people. It's better to let me have you! My family is poor, and I haven't found a wife yet. You are still a virgin, so if I take you, I won't suffer any loss even if I become a ghost!"

"Ah! Mother, brother, save me!"

Cousin Wei was already trembling with fear, and when he saw this scene, he ran away.

Seeing this, Old Lady Wei rushed over and started wrestling with the dark-skinned man.

"You beast, let go of my granddaughter!"

"roll!"

The dark-skinned man kicked Mrs. Wei away. Mrs. Wei lost her balance and bumped into the edge of a rock next to her, fainting immediately.

Aunt Wei had no time to save her daughter, so she threw herself on Old Lady Wei and said, "Mother!"

Old Mrs. Wei looked at her daughter-in-law weakly, holding her hand tightly, and then looked at Wei Sixian and He Qingshu: "Don't worry about me. Leave here quickly and live... You must live."

After she finished speaking, Old Mrs. Wei's neck tilted and she died completely.

Wei Sixian roared, "Mother!"

She threw herself on Old Mrs. Wei in grief and began to cry.

"Mother! My mother..."

Seeing that Old Mrs. Wei was really dead, the dark-skinned man couldn't help but be stunned.

"I don't want to."

They were just afraid of death. When the enemy's reinforcements came, they were worried that Lan County had been breached and Wei County would not be able to be defended, and they would die under the swords of the Western Rong people, so they fled from the battlefield. Originally, they were a group of young and strong people who were temporarily conscripted into the army and no one cared about them.

Just run away.

But now, after beating Old Mrs. Wei to death, the matter has become a serious one.

Suddenly, they all looked at the remaining women with ferocious and vicious expressions.
