Chapter 60: A Critical Moment
In the melee, Yun Qing wandered outside, every time he fired his bow, a centurion would be shot off his horse, Jia Lin followed closely beside him, with a sword and a shield, blocking all the enemies who attacked. "Words * love * first * hair
Although the soldiers of the Steppe Wolf Court were fierce and brave, they were quickly wiped out after losing command and demoralizing most of them at the beginning.
"Folks, how did you escape" Yun Qing instructed his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and then he and Jia Lin went to greet the escaped captives.
Then I saw several villagers carrying a stretcher out of the crowd: "General, thanks to this young lady, we were able to escape." ”
"Well, she" Yun Qing looked at the girl lying on the stretcher, her smooth hair was tied on her left shoulder very casually, her face was extremely pale, and the wound on her right shoulder was still oozing blood.
"Yes, General, you must save her. She took a few hundred young people from the village to take advantage of the fact that the steppe army was out to plunder and feed, and let the young people pester the soldiers who were guarding us, and then the girl let us go. But when we fled, the young man was scattered and she was wounded. An old man who looked very prestigious explained.
"Report to the Viscount." The spies sent out by Yunqing before rushed over: "Report to Lord Viscount." The large army of the Steppe Wolf Court is rushing towards this side. ”
Yun Qing's face changed suddenly when he heard this, damn it, it seems that they found out about the escape of these villagers.
"Give the order to go down and hand over the weapons that have just been seized to these villagers. In addition, he sent someone back to report that he had found a large army of the enemy. Yun Qing sorted out his thoughts and then said, "Old man, you let everyone go up the hill over there." Let the young men take their weapons and put on these armors, and the old and weak women and children will collect stones on the hill. ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The old man hurriedly did as Yun Qing instructed.
Looking at the villagers moving towards the hill, Yun Qing sighed: "It's troublesome." Let's hope we can hold out until reinforcements arrive. ”
Jia Lin had the idea of letting Yun Qing go by himself or ignoring these villagers, but she knew that Yun Qing would never agree, so she could only sigh and follow Yun Qing and do her best to protect him.
"The enemy is more than 60,000 people." Yun Qing rubbed his temples, this time it was really a headache: "We only have these three thousand cavalry, even if we add the young and middle-aged among these villagers, there are only more than four thousand people at most." With these villagers, it is impossible to run, and the only way to defend it is to use the terrain. ”
"But Lord Viscount, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, and even if we defend it, we may not be able to defend it." Jia Lin looked at the hill and showed a wry smile, but where is there any danger on the hill that can be used, the only thing that can be used may be that the terrain is high, making it difficult for the opponent's cavalry to play.
Yun Qing unfolded the map and looked at his position: "According to the marching speed of the army, it should also be Moshan at this time." After they were notified to scout the horses, it would take half a day or more if the cavalry came immediately. No matter what, we're going to hold on until that moment. ”
"Give the order to go down, all of them go up the mountain, and then immediately use the mountain rocks to build a stone wall on the spot for defense." Yun Qing saw that the villagers had already arrived on the mountain, and immediately gave an order.
Watching the soldiers build the stone wall, the villagers also hurried over to help.
Soon, a half-man-high stone wall appeared on the hill.
Yun Qing didn't let them pile up too high, as long as there was such a height, it would be okay to be able to stop the other party.
In the distance, the army of the Steppe Wolf Court had already appeared in sight, and the dust and smoke in the sky were rising to the clouds, and the murderous aura that permeated it made people feel frightened.
"It's really worthy of being the elite that gives the mainland countries a headache, and it's really not comparable to the Eastern Navy and the Yunshan Army." Yun Qing looked at the rushing cavalry and nodded slowly.
"Lord Viscount, what should I do now" Jia Lin looked at her own Viscount, and said in her heart, when is it, how can she still have the leisure to praise the enemy
"Stalling for time." Yun Qing held back a few words for a long time.
The army of the steppe wolf court soon arrived at the bottom of the mountain, and looking at the coalition soldiers waiting on the mountain, the leading general's brows suddenly furrowed.
"The people on the mountain tell me, surrender quickly, or this king will attack the mountain." The general shouted.
Yun Qing immediately laughed when he heard this: "Fortunately, it's not a dumbfounder, if the leader is a stupid guy who comes up and attacks the mountain, then I really have no other way." ”
"That general, can you guarantee our lives after we surrender," Yun Qing shouted loudly.
"Of course, this king can guarantee it." The general of the Steppe Wolf Court replied.
Yun Qing said again: "I don't know the general's name yet, can you sue us?"
"This king is the younger brother of the steppe wolf king, and the black wolf king can be different." The general of the Steppe Wolf Court shouted: "As long as you do not resist, lay down your arms and surrender, I guarantee your safety." ”
"Is this guy telling the truth? I said open and shut your mouth, this king, this king. Yun Qing was a little surprised, this is quite a prince. What the hell is going on, it is actually that a prince of the steppe wolf court will personally lead the army to come, and he feels more and more that there is something strange about it.
"The Iron Wolf Clan of the Steppe Wolf Court has thousands of clans and tribes, large and small, and the largest of them is the tribe to which the Steppe Wolf King belongs. Although this black wolf king is the younger brother of the steppe wolf king, since he has the title of king, he should be a separate tribe. Only the head of a clan tribe can claim the title of king. But only ten of the largest and strongest tribes can be called wolves. The leader of these ten tribes is the Great King, and the leader of the other small tribes is the Little King. Jia Lin is still very familiar with the affairs of the Steppe Wolf Court, and explained it to Yunqing.
"It's a nuisance." After Yun Qing heard this, he laughed: "There are so many kings, they are not afraid of fighting. ”
"But don't be the king." Yun Qing shouted again: "I know that with your noble identity, you will not do anything that goes back on your word. But some of my brothers still don't believe that you would come in person in such a noble position. Please give me a little time, I advise my brothers to surrender, but don't you want to be the king, can you?"
"Damn, the Imperial Barbarians are really troublesome." But Su Bei couldn't help but scolded: "If it weren't for the fact that this place would have to pay a lot of price, this king wouldn't have bothered him here." ”
"The king, in my opinion, just attack it directly, they are not enough for us to stuff our teeth. Kill them and avenge the warriors who died. One of them said.
"Shut up. Since they can surrender, then there is absolutely no need for our steppe warriors to make unnecessary sacrifices. The lives of our steppe warriors are much more precious than those of the southern barbarians. When they surrender, it's not up to us to kill or scrape," said Ke Su angrily.
Yun Qing sighed: "Eat the food you bring, and give the excess to those villagers." It won't take much time, and in the end you will have to fight them. Folks, how are the stones you prepared?"
"Lord Viscount, there are not too many big ones on this mountain, about a few dozens. There are quite a few fist-sized stones, enough to be thrown ten times or eight times per person. One of the villagers replied.
"That's enough." Yun Qing nodded, it is also good to be able to have these, although the effect may not be very good, but the army of the Steppe Wolf Court only wears leather armor, and there are only some fur hats on their heads, and their defense is much worse than the armor of the empire.
After a while, Yun Qing suddenly pinched his nose and shouted, "My mother, Lao Tzu just doesn't want to surrender." Killing one is enough, killing two is profitable. Fight with them. ”
Immediately, Yun Qing shouted in a hoarse voice: "What if you don't surrender, what if you don't surrender, don't you see so many people under the mountain, Lao Tzu doesn't want to die." ”
Then Yun Qing changed to his original voice: "Shut up for me." Sit down for me, why can't you think of it?"
Yun Qing suddenly changed his voice and shouted, not only did Jia Lin and the others be inexplicable, but even the soldiers of the steppe wolf court under the mountain looked at each other one by one, and this actually started a fight.
"Hahaha King, it seems that this group of imperial barbarians is really not to be feared. They actually started a fight on their own. A captain laughed.
But Su Bei also sneered: "Of course, these imperial barbarians will only fight among themselves, and there are few who are really powerful. One day, the horses of our steppe warriors will travel all over the continent. The Yuehua Clan and the Shuiyun Clan will become our slaves. ”
After waiting for a while, there was no sign of surrender on the mountain, but Su Bei was a little anxious: "If there is no result after you have finished discussing, we will attack the mountain." ”
Yun Qing looked at the sun and sighed: "It seems that their patience has reached the limit. Pass the order down, and prepare for war. Brethren, this battle is watched by our fellow villagers behind the scenes. I know that many of you have wives and children and parents at home. It's like the folks standing behind you. In this battle, we can defeat them, then those villagers can live. The troops of the Steppe Wolf Court will also be dragged here by us, but if there is none, let them pass through here. And in the future, your wives and children, and your parents, will be taken captive and sold into slavery. Generations of humiliated life, sue me, what are you going to do"
"Battle, Battle, Battle" The three thousand soldiers shouted in unison, and even those villagers shouted in a boiling voice.
"But don't you hear that they don't agree to surrender, they all have to fight you." Yun Qing shouted: "Then, if you attack the mountain, we will never surrender, only to die in battle." ”
Jia Lin shouted loudly: "Brothers, do you still remember the Yun family's army sacrificing my body to defend my family and country. Tianyun Shenwei, Mo Ke competes"
What Jia Lin shouted was the slogan of the Yun Family Army back then, and the real title of the Yun Family Army was the Tianyun Army. When she shouted, all the soldiers suddenly remembered that their own viscount was the descendant of Yun Bufan's handsome, and then they were extremely energetic, as if they had joined the Yun family army, which was known as the heroic army.
"Sacrifice my life to defend my homeland. Tianyun Shenwei, Mo Ke Competes" The slogan of the Yun family army kept echoing on the mountain, shocking thunder and thunder, and the clouds moved.
"Damn it, rush me, rush up and kill them all." But Su Bei was furious, he was actually tricked
