In the jungle, countless people and horses are covered by lush trees, the jungle is so vast that I don't know how big it is, for these barbarian warriors who have grown up on this land for generations, there are many places in the depths of the dense forest that they are completely unfamiliar with and have never set foot in, and this is the first time they have gone deep into such a place.

Snakes, insects, ants, and rats sting in the middle of it, and even the most effective drugs can't completely avoid their bites. The local people will use various methods to protect themselves, and since they were young, they have been bitten by mosquitoes on the water and soil in this area, and they have long adapted to their toxicity, so they can still live in this jungle.

If you change the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court, as long as you stay in this jungle for two days, you will have to reduce a large number of non-combat troops and collapse without a fight, which is the best protection given by God to human beings living in the jungle.

But even if they were able to survive here, the difficulties of life can be imagined. There was too little to eat, not enough to supply so many people, and it was difficult for the toast master and the head people to adapt to the harsh environment here.

In an open field carved out of the depths of the jungle, cow dung, horse dung and mosquito repellent herbs are constantly burning, and the smell of smoke disperses snakes, rats, mosquitoes and flies. The smell is not good, but at least it makes the environment much cleaner.

Under the tent that emitted a faint smell of smoke, Xun Yue and Yue Shan Lan sat there quietly, as well as seven or eight adult heads. The atmosphere in the tent was a little dull, and after listening to the person who had rushed from Hebai Village to ask for help, after telling him about the situation, Xun Yue waved his hand silently and let him retreat.

Kaoru let out a long sigh of relief and pressed her hands on her knees. looked at the somewhat depressed leaders, and then cast an inquiring glance at Yue Xianlan, and said, "Wu Miao is going to attack Hebai Village." It seems that with the help of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, he will not be willing to take possession of all our territory and people. ”

Yue Satlan's expression was a little gloomy, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "We can't drag it out in the jungle for too long, everyone eats wild vegetables, picks wild fruits, hunts wild beasts, and even eats up mice, and if we continue to consume, we will be defeated without a fight." But no village can afford to support so many soldiers and horses when they return to the village, unless they are scattered. But in that case, they will be broken individually. ”

A big man said indignantly: "Originally, we refused to return to the village. The biggest concern was that they were afraid that they would attack our village and hurt our families, and now it seems that our worries are simply unnecessary. Wu Miao is determined to annex our village. ”

Another big head said: "The worst thing is. Our soldiers are all strong laborers in the stockade, and if the battle is fought for too long, it will affect the autumn harvest and animal husbandry, and our people will not be able to live, and the morale of the army will inevitably be weakened. Now that they are pressing forward, we have no way to retreat. ”

A big-headed man next to him hesitated for a moment and hesitated, "Perhaps...... Can we make peace with them? If we give him all the people Hong Seyan wants, he will have no excuse to do it to us. We don't have to risk the lives of our whole people for the sake of those outcasts. ”

The other leader was also a little moved, and whispered, "Yes." Isn't there a Qincha in Hebai Village? Perhaps through her, we can have a good talk with the court. ”

Feng Xiang, the second housekeeper of Xunyue, immediately glared at them viciously and said, "That Qincha is a lonely person, I heard that she is still a little girl, and even she herself is trapped in the mountain, and she has a fart to discuss with her!" ”

Feng Xiang's daughter-in-law is a liuren, and now she is pregnant, and she is about to give birth to a good grandson, let him hand him over? He didn't even die.

Xunyue didn't seem to hear this suggestion, he still stared at Yue Satin Lan, and said in a deep voice: "Since you and I are an alliance, the old man wants to know what the Satin Lan Tusi is planning?" ”

Yue Xianlan said: "I really thought that the 100,000 troops of the imperial court had been killed in Yunjun, and our army was scattered and easy to be annihilated, so I had to retreat in a hurry and gather the soldiers and horses, but I didn't want Hong Seyan to bluff, the Daqi army that went to the aid was only more than 10,000 people, and we had 70,000 warriors, which was enough to deal with."

However, there will definitely be reinforcements on the imperial court, if we want to fight, we must fight quickly, I think, we should kill back the horse pistol and then trap Yunjun City! But we can't annihilate the imperial court's reinforcements, that will completely anger the imperial court, and there will be no room for maneuver. Yunjun City wants to surround three missing one, force it to retreat, and then, we will go straight to Wu Miao's lair.

Only when Wu Miao and Yun Xuan have no power to fight back can Yunjun be peaceful, and only then can there be negotiations! As for Wu Miao and Yun Xuan's people, no matter how many we kill, the imperial court won't care. I'm afraid they still want us to kill each other, hum! Wu Miao and Yun Xuan, the two idiots, are pulling the tiger's tail as a savior! ”

Xun Yue said in a deep voice: "Then what about Hebai Village?" My daughter, your bride, is still there! ”

Yue Xianlan said with a solemn face: "We sent all the way to Hebai Village to relieve the siege for her, the main force can only go to take Yun County, as long as we take Yun County, Hebai Village will naturally have no worries, if we delay for a moment longer, our whole clan may ...... In the midst of an even greater crisis! ”

Yue Xianlan turned to Xunyue and said sincerely: "I like Yan'er very much, for her, I can give up my life." But now is not the time to show my personal bravery, I am the head of the clan and I am responsible for the whole clan! If Yan'er has a good ......, as her man, I will use Yun Hao and Wen Xuan's heads to pay for her life! ”

Kaoru Yue laughed and said, "That's a good point! This is a competent toast! ”

Xun Yue slowly stood up, looked at the leaders majestically, and said in a deep voice: "Wu Miao and Yun Xuan are plotting against our territory and people, Hong Seyan, that corrupt official is even more greedy than jackals, he once asked me for a life-size golden Buddha when he was in Qiongjun, what do you think we will get if we beg now?"

Do you think that if you don't satisfy their appetite, they will agree to make peace with us? Forbearance will not lead to peace, it will only make their greed and ambition more difficult to satisfy. We can't shear wool on the fish's body, we have nothing to talk about with corrupt officials like Hong Seyan, and we have nothing to talk about with arrogant people like Wu Miao and Yun Xuan!

I, Kaorutsu, am responsible for this land left by my ancestors and all the people who have raised me in this land! Yan'er is my favorite daughter and the wife of Satinan Toast. But for the sake of our territory and our people, I can only put their safety at risk, and Satinan Toast would rather give up this opportunity!

I'm going to be with Satinan Toast. Lead you back to Yunjun City, hurt them, and fear them, so that they no longer dare to see us as lambs to be slaughtered at will! In this war, we must be like time, there is no advance or retreat, and then there are those who dare to retreat and make peace. There are so many! ”

Kaoru pulled out the Duo sheath and slashed it down. In front of him, a few wooden cases were cut off with a "click".

Yue Satin Lan also stood up, his figure was tall and mighty, this one stood up. The head is almost up to the roof of the shed. Yue Yulan grabbed the hilt of the knife and shouted in a deep voice: "Immediately cut down trees and make siege equipment such as ladders and smashing wood." Collect poisons, temper arrowheads, and sharpen bamboo arrows. In this battle, only victory, not defeat! ”

The big heads of the tents got down on one knee. Touch your chest with your hands. said in unison: "Obey the orders of Lord Tusi, there is no advance or retreat, there is victory and no defeat!" “

The sound in the tent has a kind of majestic momentum, the soldiers patrolling in the distance vaguely heard something, and they all looked at the tent, and the horses tied to the outside of the tent seemed to feel the tragic atmosphere in the voices of the toasts and leaders, and they raised their heads and neighed.

The chiefs came out of their tents. Enthusiastically, he rushed back to his camp, preparing to launch a surprise counterattack on Yunjun City. There were only two people left in the tent, Xun Yue and Yue Satinlan.

Kaoru Yue's angry appearance is gone. Become calm and composed. After a while, he whispered, "If this battle is lost." The capital for our negotiations with the imperial court will no longer exist. Our own lives can be gambled, but the survival of the whole race cannot be gambled! ”

"I understand!"

Yue Satin Lan walked up to him and looked out side by side. With a calmness on his face that did not match his roughness: "From the day we became leaders, we no longer lived only for ourselves and our families. If this battle fails, we can only ask for help from the state of Chu. ”

Kaoru Yue frowned. Said: "I also plan to do so, but if it fails, we had better ask for help from the Nanyue Kingdom first, the king of Nanyue will ask us for money, but he does not covet our territory, and the barbarians of the Chu State are not, once they are attached to the Chu State, they will be even more unbearable than the Qi State!" ”

Yue Lianlan nodded heavily, exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "Let's look at the situation, let's finish this battle first!" ”

……

"Be careful!"

Shen Rendrunk pounced on it, and pushed Yan'er to the ground, a huge crossbow arrow like a spear whistled past, grazing Yan'er's body and flying over, the cobble-egg-thick crossbow arrow hit a wooden stake, the thick wooden stake at the mouth of the bowl broke in response, and the exploded sawdust flew everywhere.

The strong wind blew on her face, and she still felt pain, thinking that she was only going to be knocked down for a moment, and she was about to be pierced by the big crossbow, and Yan'er's little face turned pale with fright.

Hong Seyan personally rushed to Hebai Village, not only did he come, but even Wu Miao and Yun Xuan also came. They did not bring the imperial reinforcements from Qiongjun, but borrowed bed crossbows from them. How could the fragile fortifications of Hebai Village be a blow in the face of such a sharp weapon.

Fortunately, the Yunjun armed forces are actually the private armies of Wu Miao and Yunxuan, and the imperial court named them the governor and the assassin history, which is equivalent to letting the local autonomy in military and political affairs, and the imperial court is not responsible for their weapons and equipment, and the heavy weapons carried by the imperial soldiers and horses who came to help from afar are very limited, there are a total of twelve bed crossbows, only three are lent to them, and the crossbow arrows given to them are also limited, otherwise the Hebai village would have been captured long ago.

Rao is so, these three bed crossbows still pose a huge threat to the Hebai village, especially when Hong Seyan came, he almost brought the main forces of Wu Miao and Yun Xuan, they attacked the cottage day and night, and the defensive strength on the village became weaker and weaker only with the consumption of soldiers.

A day ago, the Xunyuetou people suddenly sent a support army, about 1,500 people, it stands to reason that this number of soldiers and horses is enough to relieve the siege for them, at least to break through the army around the mountain, and strengthen the defensive force in the village, but after the offensive was frustrated, Hong Seyan actually personally led the troops to come, just to meet the support army, the reinforcements suffered heavy losses, and failed to rush in.

In fact, it is fortunate that they did not rush in, otherwise now that so many soldiers and horses are trapped outside, and more than a thousand people rush inside, the drinking water on the mountain will be immediately gone. In fact, there is no longer enough drinking water in the mountains, and now it has begun to be supplied in limited quantities.

Fortunately, Hong Seyan, Yun Hao and others didn't know anything about the lack of water on the village, otherwise they wouldn't have to attack the mountain so fiercely regardless of sacrifice, as long as they surrounded it for two more days, the cottage would collapse without a fight.

The bed crossbow shot violently, and the defenders on the wall couldn't raise their heads, and then the native soldiers of Wu Miao and Yunxuan attacked the mountain like a group of soldiers.

After the long-range shooting of arrows and stone projectiles, it is a hand-to-hand handover. In the shadow of the sword and sword, people kept falling, and there were already many corpses lying on the wall of the wall, which was in a state of semi-collapse, and it was too late to clean up, and some of the corpses had been hanging there for two or three days. The scorching sun gave off a disgusting stench.

The war is cruel, and everyone has become numb when the war has been fought so far, and some people around them have lost their lives, and the people next to them have become indifferent. A cold arrow flew by, piercing a person's throat, Yao'er didn't even bother to look at him, just pushed the person who was not yet breathing away, and rushed forward with a gun to block the gap she left behind.

Hebai Village is almost unstoppable!

……

Ai Lanhe used a bladed steel knife to knock a soldier who rushed to the wall, and said to Yao'er breathlessly: "Lord Tusi must be in big trouble, otherwise he will definitely bring someone to rescue us personally, Miss Yan'er is here, Lord Tusi will not care!" ”

Yao'er picked the two native soldiers down the wall, and said in a deep voice: "I can't take care of these things, this group of enemies may still be able to resist, and when they come again, I am afraid that this line of defense will not be able to hold it." Has the second pass been reinforced, this battle is over? We took the initiative to withdraw to the second line of defense and continue to hold on!

Ai Lanhe gritted his teeth and said: "The women and children have been reinforcing and building in the rear day and night, and now they can't change any new tricks, if we repel this group of enemies, we will retreat!" ”

This fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, Yao'er and the others were gradually losing their support, and the gong of "Dangdangdang" suddenly sounded at the foot of the mountain, and Wu Miao Mingjin withdrew his troops.

The piercing sound of gongs sounded like heaven to the ears of the warring parties. The native soldiers retreated like a tide, and the people on the stockade suddenly relaxed, and after the tension passed, they felt that the last bit of strength in their bodies had been drained.

Many immediately collapsed to the ground, not caring that the corpses of their partners and enemies were still pressed under them, that the wounds on their bodies were bleeding, and that they did not want to do anything but lie down for a while, for a little longer. The women, the elderly, and the children rushed up to the wall, fed them water, and helped them to bandage their wounds, and even children of several years old were now able to do it skillfully.
