The Tianduan Mountains are very long. It stretches almost seventy-eight tenths of the northern part of the Jin Kingdom. At the same time, it is also very large, with mountains stacked on top of each other. It does not feel too steep and overlapping, but instead presents a kind of Similar to the vastness of the East China Sea.
The army marched for a day, and under the command of the guide Xiong Lie, they set up camp on a flat place in a mountain col.
There are three settlements that we are going to conquer on this trip. The nearest one is only more than 20 miles away from here on the mountain road. It is a village with a population of several thousand. The fighting man estimates that There are also nearly two thousand.
In the military tent, Zheng Fan gnawed on the roasted pheasant legs.
When the army enters the mountains, those who are capable will naturally hunt for it. Even if the army rations are sufficient, it is also good to have a tooth ceremony.
Both the barbarian soldiers and the Jin soldiers were very good at hunting. After setting up camp, they all went out, but they didn't know how much prey they had to waste, and when they came back, they all rushed to sacrifice it to Zheng Fan.
The blind man sat opposite Zheng Fan, gnawing on chicken wings, and said at the same time:
"My lord, actually this savage distinguishes between familiar savages and raw savages."
"Do you mean civilized and uncivilized?" Zheng Fan asked.
"The Lord is wise, that's what it means. Anyone who has accepted the influence of Jin civilization and has trade contacts with Jin, and some people in the settlement can speak Xia language, are called Mature Savages.
The three settlements that Xiong Lie hooked up with before, which are the three settlements we are going to conquer this time, are Mature Savage settlements.
They are basically located in the sky. The outskirts of the Broken Mountain Range are close to the land of the Three Jins. Because they know the rules, both the Helian family and the Situ family will give these familiar barbarians a wide berth. The Jin army will also let them go when they enter the mountain to encircle and suppress them. Treat them as the settlements of the Jin people under your command.
Due to their business relationships, these savage settlements have a better life than the savage relatives in the mountains and further north in terms of food and iron. Living a better life is more than enough, so they often take advantage of this to annex and capture the wild people.
Part of it is to replenish their own population, and at the same time, they also conduct human trafficking to other countries. There has always been savage slave trading in this place, and the savage people here have made greater contributions than the Jin people.”
“It’s so luxurious, and it’s human trafficking.” Zheng Fan smiled, picked up the handkerchief, and started. Wipe your hands.
"It is also because this side of the Tianduan Mountains and the side near here are not suitable for agricultural development due to climate reasons, so it is useless to have too many serfs."
"Well, we'd better keep it. It just so happens that those workshops also need manpower."
The blind man nodded, "My subordinates also think so. Many times, things like gold and silver will be lost." It’s of no use.”
At this time, a guard outside the door came in and reported:
“Sir, the bald leader wants to see you.”
“Let him. Come in."
Soon, Bald Hair continued to walk in.After entering the tent, he knelt down and said:
"Bald hair will be inherited by the adults. Please greet Mr. Bei."
"Get up, Bald-haired clan leader, have you eaten?"< /p>
"It's time for dinner, sir."
"So, what's the matter?"
"Sir, I saw General Liang with more than three thousand soldiers. Quietly left the village."
"Huh?" Zheng Fan hesitated.
The bald-haired successor immediately lowered his head and said sincerely:
"Please forgive me, sir. I didn't mean to see the direction of the army, but..."
"There is nothing to blame for this. You are a lieutenant colonel in our army. If you are really blind and deaf in the military camp, it will be a sin.
Besides, Three thousand people came out of the stronghold, and it was difficult for the people in the stronghold to not notice it."
"Yes, sir, I dare to ask, where are General Liang and his men going?"
"It's not very convenient to tell you this." Zheng Fan said.
Hearing the words, Bald Hair Chengcheng gritted his teeth and said:
"Sir, Xiong Lie is also missing. Could it be that Xiong Lie said that he knew a trail that he could use to take a detour secretly? Attack the savage village on the opposite mountain?"
"Well, you know quite a lot, guess?"
"It's not a guess, it's a bear. Lie had hinted at the villain last night."
"Hint, hint to what?"
"He said that Yan people are more domineering than imagined, editor. After the official registration, what do you think the patriarch means?"
"He is right."
"..." Bald inherited.
The Yan State is also currently carrying out a large-scale compilation of civilian records. Originally, more than 50% of the country's population "does not exist".
The population has been hidden by local wealthy families, which also leads to the fact that sometimes local officials have to sit down and discuss with the local wealthy families if they want to do something, collect labor, etc.
This policy of thoroughly clearing land and integrating the population can be said to be the lifeblood of local power.
"Bald hair inherits."
"The villain is here."
"Stop calling yourself a villain from now on, call yourself the general."
"Yes, the end is here."
"You are a smart person. The smart thing about a smart person is that he knows what sesame is and what watermelon is. Can you take the initiative to report this now? I'm very pleased."
"Bald Hair will swear allegiance to you and Dayan!"
"Yes"
"But sir, Xiong. There is something wrong with Lie. He is definitely not willing to lead the way this time. He was even bullied by the savages and came back. In the eyes of the general, he was also pretending.
So the general begged you to order Liang. General, call back, otherwise you may fall into an ambush by the barbarians. Xiong Lie should collude with the barbarians."
Zheng Fan.Shaking his head, he said:
"It's too late."
"Then..."
The bald successor didn't know what to say. He originally thought that his suggestions would be valued and rewarded, but the attitudes of the city guard and the military advisor in front of him seemed extremely ambiguous, as if they were not the same thing at all.
Is it possible that they really think that the Yan army is invincible?
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from outside, like the cry of a beast or bird.
Zheng Fan and the blind man looked at each other, smiled together, stood up and walked out of the military tent, with Bald Hair Chengyi following behind.
The military camp is set up on a flat area of the mountain. Standing here, you can see the patches of torches on the surrounding hillsides. Along with the bursts of shouts, God knows how many savages are ambushing all around.
The savages are going to take advantage of the Yan army to leave the camp and attack the camp directly when the camp is empty.
At this time, there were only clan soldiers from the Bald Tribe and some barbarians in the camp, totaling more than a thousand people.
The bald man swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect the savages to come directly to attack the military stronghold!
"Sir, look at this battle, at least adult savages from three villages have come, and their number may not be less than five thousand!"
This is still a conservative estimate. The savages are fierce. Although their fighting power and fighting qualities are not comparable to those of the barbarians, in places with harsh natural and living conditions, women can often hold up half the sky. Young men and women in the tribe can also hold up swords. If you can use the bow, if you really use all your skills, even the seven thousand savages will not be able to stop them.
Zheng Fan was very calm. He waved his hand, and Zuo Jiqian and Ding Hao, who were wearing armor, came over.
"See you, sir!"
"See you, master!"
"Bald-haired clan leader, your clan soldiers will be commanded by these two. This The stronghold is well built, and the savages won’t be able to get in for a while.”
“Yes, I will obey the order!”
The Bald Haired Successor hesitated for a moment. He gritted his teeth and agreed, and followed Zuo Jiqian and Ding Hao down to reorganize the troops. Although he was still a little confused now, he knew that once he got on a ship, he shouldn't go to sea again.
Zheng Fan looked at the blind man and said:
"Tell me, should I bring a chair over and lie down."
The blind man added : "We also need a goose feather fan."
"Well, we also need a pot of good tea. You play the erhu next to me, and I will hum a tune."
"Wait a minute At the end, I have to add: The younger generation has defeated the enemy."
Zheng Fan's eyes lit up and he said, "Be careful."
"But, my lord, the arrows are not strong. You have eyes."
"Well, you are right."
"The Lord is wise."
He is on the front line again. Not when it’s time to show off.
“YoYo yo yo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! "
A long whistle sounded,
and then echoes came from the hillsides on all sides.
This should be a military order, and then, on the hillsides, The torch began to move downwards quickly.
"It's also interesting. There are a lot of savages. They seem to have a lot of strength in this extreme environment. How come they have been invaded by Jin for hundreds of years. As a head-brushing machine? "
The blind man heard the words and explained with a smile:
"My lord, from the very beginning, the barbarians were actually the masters of the Three Jin Lands. The Yu family was under the orders of the Emperor of Great Xia. Opening up the Three Jins was like forcing the barbarians out of the Three Jins, and they had no choice but to go to the snowfields in the Tianduan Mountains and further north of the Tianduan Mountains.
Although they are now barbarians, they actually created civilization earlier, but it was forcibly cut off by the Jin people.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, it seems easier for successful people to make a comeback after a fall, but this is often not the case. In fact, it is even more difficult.
Because your mentality is wrong, and you can no longer be as down-to-earth as when you are barefoot. This is almost the same situation for the savages, each settlement, each person, who is who, counting them up. The aristocratic inheritance was not convinced by each other, and it has been reduced to a mess.
In addition, although they are collectively called savages, they are actually divided into dozens of specific 'ethnic groups' internally. It is really simple for the Jin people to deal with them. "
"It turns out that there are still these ways. I thought it was just because of the lack of armor and equipment. "
"They are not bad. They are equipped with armor and weapons, but there are still some. After all, they are familiar savages. After all, they cannot really live a life of eating raw materials and drinking blood.
However, in the current situation, it is remarkable that the three settlements have come together to form such a large battle. These three mature savage settlements have gradually grown stronger with the development of trade over the years. The original tribal atmosphere has faded away, and it is actually more like three city lords who have learned to help each other. ”
“Xiong Lie’s lobbying should also play a role in this, right? ”
“That’s natural. Xiong Lie is also a figure and has some brains.
However, my lord, according to my subordinates, the barbarians dare not really kill the Yan people. They know that the Yan people are not easy to mess with, but the three requirements that the lord made to them before are not enough. Fat Inheritance can accept it, because Bald Inheritance has no retreat, but the savage leaders don't want this.
They probably want to give us a painful beating through this incident. Even if the Lord is captured this time, they will treat us with great courtesy and send some gifts to repair the relationship and continue doing business with each other. . ”
“You are too rational. I still prefer a more emotional one.” "
"What the Lord said is, how can we allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch? Dacheng and Dayan are sleeping too deeply and cannot be pushed away, but the savages here should not even think about sleeping well. Fell asleep. ”
The most important thing is that primitive accumulationThe best way is not to immerse yourself in farming, but to plunder. There must be someone by your side who you can beat and move, right?
The savages have already rushed down and are gathering at the camp from all directions. Fortunately, Zheng Fan has a good habit of fighting. This habit comes from his lack of confidence in his own military command level.
He doesn't understand any fanciful ideas about using troops, but at least he understands that it is always better to make fewer mistakes at any time.
He has experience in building the camp. After all, this job is not difficult. All it requires is the word "pay attention".
How deep the fence is dug into the ground, how many feet and how many trenches are dug in front of the village, how many sharp bamboo pieces are buried in the pit, and the distance arrangement between the tunnel gate and the antlers and obstacles behind it, as long as the general pays attention to it, Inspecting over and over again, the soldiers were not lazy and could always arrange things properly.
Right now, the outer defenses of this military stronghold are causing a lot of trouble for these savages. Screams are heard one after another. In addition, the defenders in the military stronghold are shooting arrows and obstructing the outside, which is a huge obstacle. The momentum of the savages.
And the unorganized side of the savages has emerged. Often a breakthrough has been made in one place, but no news has been received from other directions and gathered here, but they continue to chew on the hard bones.
The team that broke through did not think about joining the friendly forces. Instead, they rushed in and were quickly beaten back.
This made the effect of the military fortifications much better than expected, and delayed enough time.
"Recover!"
"Recover!"
After waiting for the savages to begin clearing the surrounding obstacles and fences, Zuo Jiqian and Ding Hao ordered the surrounding areas to be recovered almost simultaneously. The soldiers retreated, directly abandoning the outer perimeter, and turned to the core area with Zheng Fan's military tent as the center to truly block the attack.
The crossbowmen were inside, and the heavy armor men were outside. Bald-haired Successor acted as a small soldier and obeyed the command, leading his tribesmen to counterattack the dozens of savages who had just rushed in one direction. , directly cut back the wave of savages, and then immediately returned to the line.
"This bald inheritance is pretty good." Zheng Fan commented.
"He has the talent to be a hero. Since ancient times, there have been heroes hidden in the grass. It just depends on whether there is an east wind to help him take advantage of the situation." The blind man said.
Zheng Fan nodded, weighed the long knife in his hand a few times, and looked around. The savages who rushed from several directions were repelled. Finally, they finally recovered and stopped. With enthusiasm, they started to encircle them first, and then launched sieges in all directions.
The costumes of these savages are very strange. Some are no different from Jin people, and some are just wearing animal skins, giving them a mixed feeling of civilization and barbarism.
Under the night, you can still hear the shouts of many leaders restraining their men.
To be honest, this is not an army, but more like a group of people managing a chaotic flock of sheep.
At this moment, Zheng Fan finallyNow I understand why the Jin people were able to form an overwhelming advantage over the barbarians. There is almost an age gap between the two sides in terms of military level and philosophy.
"My lord, you can't bear it any longer?" the blind man asked.
"After all, I just got promoted and want to try it out."
It's like I just got a new toy and I can't help but want to show off to my friends.
"My lord, it's not my subordinates' talking too much. Right now, it's not time for my lord to go into battle, so just wait."
"If you wait any longer, it will become a smooth battle. I’ve been fighting for people for a long time, and it doesn’t make much sense.”
“My lord, I have a bad taste.”
Zheng Fan smiled. , put away the knife,
"Really?"
.........
"Third Master, why did you stop for so long?" Xiong Lie asked curiously Looking back, he found that only Xue San was left behind him, and the others were no longer behind him.
There is a canyon ahead. After passing through this canyon, you can reach the top of the savage settlement and dive down from behind.
“We’re about to start work, we need to rest.” Xue San responded, “The soldiers have been on the road for a day and have been stuck in a mountain den for so long. They have to take a breather. It's not about fighting with strength."
Xiong Lie nodded and said, "That's the truth."
Then, Xiong Lie sat on the ground and started chewing dry food and drinking water. .
Xue San was the same, sitting on the ground eating and drinking.
About half an hour later, Xiong Lie looked at the short Xue San and said with a smile:
"I know what you are capable of."
" "Hey, don't call me Third Master anymore?"
"What else are you calling me? I know you are good at tracking."
Xue San nodded and said:
"I know you know I'm good at tracking."
Xiong Lie was stunned for a moment, then continued:
"I know you followed me into the mountains the day before yesterday."
Xue San nodded again and said:
"I know you know that I followed you into the mountains the day before yesterday."
"I let you follow on purpose!"
p>"I also deliberately let you know that I followed you on purpose."
Xiong Lie was a little dizzy,
but he still said immediately:
"I know you don't trust me!"
"We let you know that you know that we don't trust you."
"Ahem..."
Xiong Lie coughed twice, took a sip of water, and sneered:
“Don’t think I don’t know where the thousands of soldiers and horses you came up with went. They are in batches. You moved to the high ground on both sides of the canyon to ambush, right?"
Xue San looked at the proud Xiong Lie,
and shook his head,
Said:
"We know that there are no ambush on the high slopes on both sides of the canyon."
"Then...and you? "
"Oh, they have all gone back. They came out for some training in the evening and returned to the camp early. They should be arriving at the military camp soon. You and I are the only ones left here. "
"..." Xiong Lie.
This is a set within a set within a set.
Xue San yawned,
Tao:
“Boy, you are playing tricks, you have found the wrong person. ”
Why were the demon kings squeezed in the past?
Because they themselves were too weak, their power was weak, their personal strength was not enough, and the opponents they faced were too high-level. Now, when Now that our strength is at an advantage, our talent for planning will naturally come into use.
Suddenly, Xiong Lie raised his left arm and a dark crossbow appeared. < /p>
“Whoosh! ”
Sooner than later,
Xue San fell back, lying on his back on the ground, kicking his legs forward.
Xiong Lie pulled out his knife and was about to take advantage of the situation and chop Xue San to death, but his body suddenly trembled, and two short arrows were stabbed into his abdomen.
Xue San raised his leg.
Facing Xiong Lie, he shook his head arrogantly like an aerobics athlete,
and said:
"You're playing with a hidden weapon, so you're wrong. People are here. ”
………
On the valley,
Looking at the camp with flickering torches below, and hearing the constant sounds of fighting, Liang Cheng stretched out his hand Rubbing his chin.
Beside him stood Xu Youcheng.
"Colonel Xu. ”
“The end will be here. "Xu Youcheng saluted Liang Cheng.
"I heard that you Jin people have been good at hunting wild people for hundreds of years. I have never seen it, so I don't know if it is true. "
"General, we can't defeat the Yan people, but the savages are no problem! ”
Liang Cheng smiled when he heard this,
Knowing how much humiliation Qiu Ba, an old soldier in the army, was feeling when he said such words,
reached out his hand ,
patted Xu Youcheng's shoulder,
said:
"In the future, we will be able to beat the Yan people. "
"What..."
Xu Youcheng was still a little confused. He didn't know why the Yan general said such things.
"However, I would like Captain Xu to prove it to me now. If you lose your special skills like hunting junglers, then don't think about eating the same as Brother Yanjun in the future. "
"General, please take a look. ”
Liang Cheng stretched out his hand and patted Fan Li’s stomach next to him. Because Fan Li was already wearing armor and his body was covered with iron blocks, he made a clanging sound when struck.
< p>"Blow it. ”Fan Li, who had been dozing while standing, was woken up.
He looked around blankly,
After yawning,
picked up the rhinoceros horn that he had carried all day long, puffed up his cheeks, and was about to blow it when Liang Cheng added:
" If you dare to blow the charge horn again, you will not be allowed to eat tomorrow."
"Uh..."
Fan Li smashed his mouth and pointed at the rhinoceros horn:
"Woooooooooooooo!!!!!!"
When the horn sounded,
The Yan army, which had already returned to complete the counter-encirclement, was no longer there Hiding, the charge began.
Among them,
the Jin people whose morale had always been somewhat low showed an extraordinary bravery and fearlessness at this time. They jumped down each one screaming, and there was really a group. The posture of a wolf descending the mountain.
The soldiers of the original Cuiliu Fort seemed much more orderly. Everyone stayed in small groups and charged downwards in formation.
A Ming, who had been standing next to Liang Cheng, smiled and joked:
"Is this a submissive attitude in front of the Yan people, but a heavy punch in front of the savages?"
< p> "We have to let them regain some confidence and murderous intent, otherwise they will all become soldiers. This group of savages is really no big deal. They come in one group and go down in one group, without leaving any escape route for themselves.""Okay, you can continue to command here, I will go down too." A Ming said and prepared to rush down the mountain with the large army.
"What are you doing down there?" Liang Cheng asked, "The situation has been decided."
A Ming raised the empty water bag in his hand,
< p>Dao:"Go and get a drink."
