Chapter 552: The moat water has not been drawn
The sun was setting, the full moon was rising, and before the hazy moonlight was sprinkled on the ground, it was draped on the wings of the black giant eagle that could almost cover the sky, except for the occasional howl of beasts on Mangshan, and the whole sky could only hear the sound of those giant eagles flapping their wings.
At the foot of Mangshan, there was a sound of Suo Suo from the waist-deep dry grass, and it didn't take long for three bloody Xiliang people to come out.
They were wearing armor, mottled with blood and scratches, and the braids under their helmets were also stained with blood and yellow and white things, no matter how embarrassed they looked, but the long knife in their hands that was still dripping blood was a reminder of their experience.
"Whew.... Finally down, Captain, are we going to fix up and wait for the rest of the team to come together?" one of them wiped the sweat from his forehead that shouldn't have been there this season, and asked the leader who was also not much better than him with a look of fear.
The captain was obviously much more cautious than the man, he raised his eyes and looked around, and still walked forward with the two of them uneasily, until he was far away from the dead grass, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly saw the gray wall that stood not far away like a castle tower, and couldn't help blurting out
"What's going on? Shouldn't this be a village down the mountain?"
It's no wonder that he was so surprised, you must know that they Xiliang didn't cross the Yudai River to try to cross Mangshan to snatch the food of the people in the Northern Regions more than ten years ago, but then the water of the Yudai River skyrocketed, making their actions no longer smooth, which aroused the minds of other countries.
Otherwise, such a rich and prosperous place in the Northern Regions was their first choice, and according to the veterans of Mangshan who had crossed the Northern Regions at that time, all they saw after crossing Mangshan were villages! And that looting did not harm the lives of this group of people, could it be that the small villages at that time had become towns?
The general muttered to himself, knowing that the boat they had used to cross the river was made of wood that had been accumulated for many years, and if nothing was found, the king would not let them go.
Moreover, they did not carry grain and grass with them now, so they couldn't go home empty-handed at this first stop! Thinking of this, a trace of fear crossed the general's eyes, and with this fear as a catalyst, the general couldn't care much
Looking at the giant eagle in the sky behind him with the same destination as him, the general's eyes flashed with determination, and he raised his hand and waved fiercely, "Don't rest yet, if this is the case at the bottom of this mountain, then there will be no rations for our march, go and investigate, so as to remind the people behind!"
What is the commander talking about? That is the military order, no matter what you think in your heart, you must carry it out, so at that moment, the two tired elite soldiers had to smash their right fists in front of their left chests and said, "Yes, captain!"
With that, they swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, looked at the group of eagles that were getting closer and closer to them behind An like the general, clenched the big knife in their hands, and took a step towards Qingniu Village!
........................................
At this time, on the wall of Qingniu Village, the old village chief was looking at the fire in the lantern next to him, and the defense map had been turned over and over again and many times.
"Hey....." I don't know how many times the old village chief sighed, but the children and grandchildren standing behind him still intimately handed over the cigarette pouch and pot, and then asked quietly, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
The old village chief took the cigarette pouch and wrapped the pot fiercely, and then patted the eldest grandson's shoulder and sighed: "Hey.... I didn't expect this Xiliang people to come so quickly, and the water of this moat has not yet been drawn, and now the only thing that can stop them is the three-zhang high city wall! I don't know if we people can defend our village.....
Before the old village chief could finish speaking, he listened to his eldest grandson ask puzzledly, "Grandpa, didn't you say that the giant eagle flock was brought by Jinxiu? Now it is not far away, if such a heroic eagle flock arrives, what are we afraid of Xiliang people!"
The grandson of the Yang family is eighteen years old this year, although he is quite old, but he has always been reluctant to give up his fame, so he reads and reads again, and he is also a classmate of Junyi, Fan Che and Yisheng.
Usually in the school, I didn't hear these few praise Jinxiu, and when I went home, there was also the old village chief who whispered in my ear, yes, for Jinxiu, the eldest grandson who was called Xiangyan, was also deaf and blind to give blind trust to Jinxiu.
The old village sneered when he heard this, and he understood why his eldest grandson had not been able to pass the Xiucai exam, how could this child have achieved too much if he was so shallow, the old village chief shook his head and sighed in his heart, but his face was not revealing at all.
"In other words, you only know that the giant eagle is about to arrive, where is the person who might control the giant eagle?" The old village chief patted the eldest grandson on the shoulder, and his words were full of deep meaning, "Isn't this the reason why there is no treasure mountain? If Jinxiu is not there, then no matter how brave the giant eagle is, we can't control it!"
The old village chief's words were all warnings, not only for his eldest grandson, but also for all the children and grandchildren of the Yang family.
There are only four grandchildren of the Yang family who are thirteen years old, and the two sons of the big house have already reached the crown, and the other two are the babies of the second and third rooms.
But at this moment, I saw the eldest son of the second-room family who had just walked into the wall, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Look, look, grandpa, look at it, are those three from Xiliang? Ah! Are they also the ones who are about to reach the foot of the mountain? Oh my God, how should this be? Could it be that we have to fight them with knives?"
The old village chief's face was also solemn when he heard this, he took the cigarette pouch and pot in his hand, lifted the lantern and poked his head out of the city wall!
Before the old village chief could react, he heard a cool shout, but it was the eldest son of the three houses who leaned over the wall with a kitchen knife in his hand, and yelled fiercely at the Xiliang soldiers who raised their heads below.
"Hey, the Xiliang people and thieves below, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise, I want you to look good!" I have to say that the eldest son of the third room has the demeanor of Uncle Yang, not as elegant as the big house, but has a free and resolute blood between the eyebrows.
The old village chief looked at him in his eyes, glanced at him appreciatively, and had to say that at this time, whether you are hiding or talking to them, there is not much difference, and at this time, such a timid roar, maybe there will be a different kind of harvest It is not necessarily, the old village chief stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes were full of wisdom!
