Everyone in the northern border army is afraid of the Black Jerome cavalry.

This group of grassland barbarians grew up on horses. They were skilled in bow and horse, fierce and bloodthirsty, and they went south to burn, kill and plunder all the year round.

They neither cultivated nor farmed the land, and made a living by raiding the borders. Wherever they passed, no chickens or dogs were left behind, and corpses littered the fields.

The Black Capricorn cavalry are extremely mobile. If they win, they will charge into the formation and massacre. If they cannot win, they will ride roundabouts, fly kites, and use bows and arrows to kill the infantry alive.

Even Dayong's regular army often suffers heavy losses, let alone a shabby border fort like Blackstone Fort that no one cares about and no one cares about.

The private fight between Su Jin and Zhou Scarzi was immediately canceled when the enemy's attack horn sounded.

Who dares to fight among themselves when their lives are almost gone?

The Black Stone Garrison had fifty men, and the officials protected each other and had no pay. Now there are only twenty-three old and weak soldiers left.

Either they are old, have old injuries, or they are weak recruits.

The weapons are even more terrible.

The knives were rusty knives, the spears were broken spears, the shields were cracked, and several of them had only wooden sticks in their hands that even the iron guy couldn't touch.

With this configuration, facing thirty heavily armed Black Capricorn elites who kill people all year round, to put it bluntly - they are just waiting to die.

Zhou Scarzi now completely lost his previous arrogance.

He has been working at the border for more than ten years, and he is very good at bullying new recruits and deducting military pay. If he really meets Jie Qi, he will be intimidated faster than anyone else.He knew very well that the terror of Black Jie was beyond what they, the remnants of the army, could stop.

"Get up on the wall and guard me!" Zhou Scarzi shouted, suppressing his trembling voice, "Whoever dares to run around and jump over the wall will be dealt with by military law after the war!"

Having said that, everyone has a clear mind.

The fort was really destroyed and everyone died. How could there be a war?

A group of soldiers trembled and climbed up the wall, their faces pale and their eyes full of despair.

Chen Shitou followed Su Jin closely, trembling with fear, and his voice sounded like crying:

"Su Jin, we are really finished this time."

"Half a month ago, you know the Bluestone Castle? There were fifty regular defenders. The city wall was twice as thick as ours, and they had all the weapons and supplies. But Black Jie rushed in, and in less than an hour, the entire castle was slaughtered, leaving no one alive."

"The road is now blocked by heavy snow, and the main force at Yanshuoguan is infantry, which is hundreds of miles away from here. Traveling in the snow is too slow, and it will take more than half a day to get there at the fastest."

"Most of the day is enough for the Jie people to kill us several times!"

Blackstone Castle is a place where abandoned children die.

With no village, no shop, and no help or rescue, the imperial court had long forgotten about this poor place.A few soldiers were killed, and names were drawn on the roster, without even splashing.

The previous Su Jin would have been scared to death.

But now in this body is the soul of a modern field veteran.

Severe pain from a broken bone in his chest, cold and fever, dizziness, and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. The injuries were frighteningly serious.But Su Jin's mentality was ridiculously stable from beginning to end.

He understands desperate situations all too well.

The more certain the situation is, the less you should panic. Once you panic, it will be over.

"Don't mess up." Su Jin whispered, "Run now, you will die the fastest. Only by holding on to your formation and guarding the gap will you have a chance to get reinforcements."

Chen Shitou nodded blankly, inexplicably feeling that Su Jin was particularly reliable now.

The two quickly climbed up the earth wall.

The wind and snow were violent, the sky was white, and the field of vision was extremely poor. Looking around, it was completely white, and it was impossible to see anything in the distance.

But Su Jin knew——

The most dangerous time is when you can't see the enemy.

The Black Stone Fortress wall is short and broken, with many places collapsed, and the rotten wood blocking the wall is muddy. It cannot be considered a defense at all.Twenty-three remnant soldiers stood on the wall, the hands holding weapons were shaking, and the morale of the army was on the verge of collapse.

The lord of the fort, General Liu Tun, was in his forties and had been at the border for five years.
