Behind the iron armor that covered their faces, there were eyes that shone with a cold light, and everyone was extremely tall, stepping on a uniform pace, slowly and unstoppably pressing towards the enemy formation.

Although there are only 1,000 people, the momentum generated by these 1,000 people has crushed the Qianghu on the opposite side who will only rush up in a swarm.

Feng Yong had already stood up and was ready to go down the mountain to return to the camp.

Fighting each other for most of the day today seemed to be very tragic and stale, but after the Modao team was dispatched, all this suddenly seemed like a child's game.

The extremely sharp Mo knife, the tight formation, and the strict discipline made it extremely easy for them to face the scattered soldiers of Qiang Hu.

At first, there were still rebels who dared to rush up, and after the Modao team split one team after another into countless pieces of people and horses, the Qianghu on the opposite side finally collapsed.

It's simply not something they can resist.

These people are simply the evil ghosts that the ghost king descended from the earth to the human world.

No matter what stood in front of them, knives, guns, clubs, human horses, it was the same result.

The most common movements in their hands are: slashing, stabbing.

Everywhere they passed, neither men nor horses survived, leaving only scraps of meat all over the ground.

The first to collapse was Qianghu, who was fighting head-on with the Modao team, and they directly turned their horses' heads, desperate to escape from these monstrous demons in front of them, and were unwilling to stop even if they trampled on their allies.

They disrupted their formation, leading everyone backwards.

Liu Hun led the rested Qianghu servant army and began to disperse the pursuit on both sides, trying to intercept the scattered enemy as much as possible.

Feng Yong stood on the mountain, pointed to the battlefield below that was beginning to become chaotic and asked Huo Yi, "Do you see anything?" ”

"The Modao team is very powerful."

Huo Yi answered honestly.

Hearing this, Feng Yong squinted, "Of course I know that the Mo Dao team is very powerful, except for the Mo Dao team, you don't see anything else?" ”

Huo Yi looked at Qiang Hu, who had fled in a hurry, and then looked at Feng Yong, his face was slightly hot, and he didn't know why, "The last general really doesn't know." ”

Feng Yong sighed and said, "Today has been fighting for almost a day, whether it is those rebellious Qianghu or righteous Qianghu, even if they suffer heavy casualties, they have not flinched, which is enough to prove their bloody bravery." ”

"It's just that they are too chaotic and fight on their own, plus they don't have enough weapons and armor, so they are not the opponents of the Han army."

The Qianghu of Liangzhou and Longyou are not low in combat, and they are tough and tenacious by nature, otherwise they would not have forced the Eastern Han Dynasty to almost give up Liangzhou several times.

It is only because they do not have a unified command, coupled with the backwardness of the productive forces and the structure of social civilization, that they have been crushed by the Han army.

"If you can take them for your own use, train their minds, train their military appearance, remove their looseness, and wash away their foolishness, you will not be able to form a strong army."

It doesn't matter if you're stupid, as long as you have enough tenacity and tenacity, you're a good soldier.

The key is how to get rid of their looseness.

Feng Yong has enough experience in this area.

Under the protection of the troops, Feng Yong descended from the hillside that had been used as a temporary observation headquarters, and everywhere he went, the Qianghu people avoided him.

Before this, Qiang Hu only felt that Feng Langjun was a very good person and was very amiable to them.

But since they saw the battle of the Mo Dao team, there was an extra layer of awe in their eyes.

That piece of sword forest left a deep impression on them.

They tried their best and fought for a day, but they couldn't withstand most of the Mo Dao team.

But for Feng Yong, who had experienced the baptism of the Northern Expedition, this battle was not a big scene at all.

There were more than 3,000 people in the rebellious Qianghu, and on their side, in addition to the 500 Han troops who pressed the formation, the 500 Han troops guarding the hillside, and the 1,000 Mo knife team that came on the field at the end.

In fact, only 2,000 Qianghu were constantly engaged in the battle.

The rest of the Qianghu were sent out by Feng Yong to collect information about the rebellious Qianghu tribes in Hanyang County, or to persuade the wavering centrists.

Compared with most of the Longyou Hao clans, Feng Yong now preferred to trust the Qianghu tribes who were waiting for his rations to be delivered.

However, for Hanyang County, this is the largest Qiang rebellion in recent years.

Because the captain of the Qiang Guard led the army to inspect Longyou, the rebellious Qiang Hu in Hanyang County had to unite and want to defend against the army.

"General, the interrogation has come out, this batch of rebels is headed by a Qu Shuai named Ye Mo's O, he was originally the leader of a large tribe, and now he has united with other tribes, so there is such a scale."

Zhang Wei quickly reported the news he had received from the captives.

Feng Yong nodded, this news was expected, and the news obtained by the Qiang Hu sent out could be mutually corroborated with it, and it seemed that it should be true.

"Where is the range of activities of the tribe of the Moth, does anyone know?"

Feng Yong asked.

"It's in the area of Qingshui."

"It's not far from Qingshui, it seems that it's indeed this smelting moth."

This time, Feng Yong set out from Jicheng, and the route he took was to follow Weishui to the east, pass through Shangqi, reach the west of Linwei, and then turn north.

This route can make it easier to drive the rebellious Qianghu to the north step by step.

The army marched between Linwei County and Qingshui County, but was blocked by Qianghu.

Obviously, the Qianghu of Hanyang County planned to take advantage of the complex mountainous situation in the remaining veins of Longshan and defend the danger.

It's very much in line with their style.

For hundreds of years, the Qianghu who rebelled in Longyou basically did this.

If you can beat it, you will sack the city, and if you can't beat it, you will run into the mountains and hide.

Han officials are easy to speak, so they have to inch in, and if they are not good at talking, then resist first.

Anyway, it's instinct to resist, and if you resist, you won't necessarily die, right?

Haven't we all been like this for hundreds of years?

Before the sun set, Liu Hun, who went to chase and kill the defeated army, also returned.

"General, those defeated Qianghu ran into the mountains. There is a valley there, I heard that it is called the Fox Hunting Valley, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the last general will not dare to enter easily, so he will come back to report to the general. ”

Liu Hun, covered in blood, stood there as if he had just crawled out of a pool of blood.

"Okay, let's go down and rest first." Feng Yong nodded, "Go to Fox Hunting Valley tomorrow." ”

The main purpose of this inspection of Longyou is to quell the Qiang rebellion, which is Feng Yong's own job, so he can't let go of the fleeing rebels so easily.

The next day, he personally led a large army to the mouth of the fox valley and saw that Qianghu had sent people to guard the dangerous place in the valley.

"Does anyone know the specific topography of this valley?"

Feng Yong held the horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the valley in front of him and asked.

The generals around him don't know.

"I remember that the Qianghuli captured yesterday didn't say that there was a moth Russian tribe? Ask them about it. ”

Zhang Wei agreed, turned around and went down to interrogate in person.

Feng Yong also asked people to find the local natives, as well as the Qianghu who were familiar with this place in the army.

Gathering the intelligence of all parties, the terrain of Fox Hunting Valley was quickly asked.

The mouth of the valley where Feng Yong's army is located is the south entrance of the Fox Catching Valley, and the north entrance is in Qingshui County.

If you go north directly from here, you can reach Qingshui City only thirty miles.

But if you enter from this valley, you have to walk nearly 200 miles, which can be regarded as a poor mountain and deep valley.

And in the valley, you can also climb up Longshan Mountain from the east.

It can be said that it can be attacked, and it can be defended when retreating.

In order to eliminate this gathered rebel force in one fell swoop, Feng Yong first sent Liu Hun to lead people around Qingshui County to block the mouth in the north, and then personally went to the valley to observe the surrounding terrain.

Qianghu, who was guarding the valley, seemed to be very fearless, and seeing that Feng Yong and his party were protected by heavy troops, he even dared to rush out on horseback, stood still from a distance, and shot a wave of arrows to this side.

Although it only fell far away, it was clearly a provocation.

Feng Yong inhaled and smashed his mouth again, but he didn't say anything.

After returning to the camp, he pointed to the valley and said to the generals, "This valley is higher than the west in the east, so the east mountain is obviously more important than the west mountain." The Hu people also knew this, so they sent more defenders to Dongshan than to the west. ”

"Jufu, you lead five hundred southern sergeants tonight, quietly go up to Dongshan, get as close as possible to the defenders of Qianghu, occupy the terrain, set up camp through the trenches, and build fortifications."

Jufu hurriedly clenched his fists, "No! ”

Sergeant Nan, who was born in the same way as Wudang Feijun, walked the mountain road like flying.

Although it seems that the Qianghu are acting together, they actually belong to each other, and the orders between them are not consistent, which is a loophole that can be exploited.

"Huo Yi, Xishan, I also sent you five hundred people, can you take it down?"

Feng Yong asked Huo Yi again.

"The last general will not be dishonored!"

Huo Yi hurriedly stood up and answered.

Although five hundred people are not many, it is already a great surprise for Huo Yi, who is dedicated to taking his father as an example.

After all, this was the first time he had taken a serious solo lead.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news tomorrow, just wait until I can go up the mountains on both sides, and the victory will be decided."

Although the valley caused some trouble for Feng Yong, he didn't care.

It's a big deal, Lao Tzu blocked you in this valley for two months.

When the weather turns cold, half of the people in the valley can survive and I lose!

Cold weather is the worst enemy of nomads, white plagues, lack of food, no protection from the cold, etc., even in a normal year, which year does not die?

What's more, they have experienced a severe drought this time, and they do not have enough time to prepare food.

Flee to the valley to turn food out of the air?

That night, Jufu and Huo Yi each led 500 people and went up the mountain.

In the early morning, the Qiang people discovered the Han army that was building a camp and hurriedly sent troops to attack.

Jufu Huo Yi has the advantage of crossbow arrows, and the camp is standing still.

The Qiang people found that they could not break through the camp of the two, and they wanted to block the water channels on the mountains on both sides.

Feng Yong, who was guarding outside the mouth of the valley, saw this situation, and directly sent Zhang Wei and Modao to go up the water and attack Qianghu, who planned to cut off the water channel.

When the Qiang people saw the bright sword forest, before they could fight, they rushed back to the valley, and there were hundreds of people who fell directly into the water.

Feng Yong then drove the servant army to press, and at the same time let the east and west mountains wave their troops to attack, under the three-way attack, the Qiang people guarding the valley mouth fought separately, and there was no way to organize a unified resistance.

In the end, it was the Modao team that attacked again, crushing the Qianghu defenders head-on, forcing them to flee into the valley one after another.

Feng Yong led the army into the valley slowly, and Qiang Hu still tried to hold on to all the dangers in the valley, but in front of Zhang Wei, Ju Fu and Huo Yi, the stubborn resistance of the rebel Qiang was meaningless, and it was broken everywhere.

So Feng Yong led the people to chase them deep into the valley.

In the deepest part of the valley, there is a wide flat land, where countless tents are erected, and countless cattle, horses, sheep and mules are gathered.

From a distance, it looks like a place of peace and happiness independent of the troubled times.

But in fact, this originally peaceful place is now filled with anxiety and panic.

The usual laughter is gone.

The woman counted her cattle and sheep over and over again, and counted the felt and fur in the tent.

Those things that are not commonly used have been tied up with straw ropes and can be picked up and left at any time.

The sturdy men of the tribe, carefully sharpening their weapons and counting their bows and arrows made of bone, looked at the south with some confusion: they heard that the Han had led a large army into the valley.

The largest tent in the middle was suddenly opened, and a tall Qiang man came out of it with a gloomy face, and walked towards his own tribe without looking back.

Behind him, more than a dozen people came out one after another, all of whom were the leaders of the various tribes in the valley.

There was not a single smile on everyone's faces.

The Qiang man Qu Shuai, who was the first to leave, returned to his tribe, smoked a few sheep slaves to vent his anger, and then issued an order: all the tribesmen should pack their bags, and leave here early tomorrow morning to hide in the high mountains to the east.

When the woman heard this, she gathered up the sheep and cattle, and at the same time packed up all the contents of the tent and put them on the back of the horse.

When the man heard that he was going east, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, silently put away his weapon, and got up to help clean up the camp.

"Zhishi Gu, do you really want to leave like this?"

When night fell, someone quietly found the Qiang people who were about to leave with the tribe and asked.

"Bai Junchang, you have also seen that Ye Moth still wants us to fight with the Han people, if I don't leave, I am afraid that the warriors of my clan will die here."

Zhi Shigu said angrily.

"But even if you flee to the mountains, how many of your tribe will survive this winter?"

"Even if you can't survive, it's better than waiting here to die."

Zhi Shigu said with a sad face.

"Alas, we don't have enough food to eat this year, and the reason why we listen to that smelting moth is to find enough food to survive this winter."

The visitor let out a long sigh, the same sad face.

"I didn't expect that the food was not found, not to mention, even the warriors in the clan died a lot, and they were even forced to this point. I knew that it was better to go to the Han people in the first place! ”

Take refuge in the Han Chinese?

Zhishi Gu's expression moved, and he glanced at the other party.

"I heard that the Han people in the south are very good to us Qiang people. Have you ever heard of that Feng Langjun......"

The person who came didn't seem to notice the look of the stone bone, and was still babbling about the gossip he heard, both true and false.

Some of them have been vaguely heard before, and some of them have spread in recent days.

To be honest, everyone in the valley now has more or less regrets in their hearts.

If you can't eat enough, you will turn against him, but if you have enough, go to the Han people again, and the Han people will have their own arrangements, and then when you can't eat enough and can't bear it, you will rebel again.

For so many years, everyone has been doing this over and over again.

It is only in the past few years that it has settled down a little.

For the Han people had a god-like official, who could not only know the situation in their people in an unpredictable and prophetic way, but also be fair and try to appease them.

Therefore, Ye Moth said that he wanted to avenge Guo Tingshi, and everyone agreed.

Anyway, it's a big deal to get to the end, and then like before, the family is attached.

I think that the Han people who have just become the ruler of Longyou will not do anything to them, at most they will move them to other places.

Unexpectedly, things developed beyond everyone's expectations.

The Han people reacted very strongly, and after the drought passed, they were able to send troops immediately.

What is even more unexpected is that the Qiang people in the west did not rebel during the drought in Longyou? even completely took refuge in the Han people, and raised a sword against them of the same race and race.

What about the good together? After so many years of tacit understanding, it's gone?

"It's right that Guo Tingshi can treat us fairly, but I heard that Feng Langjun is better, he has been taught by the mountain god, so the tribe on the other side of Tianshui is willing to obey him......"

"But we've reversed it......"

"We were just deceived by Ye Moth, Feng Langjun is broad-minded, and he won't blame us."

At this moment, all kinds of gossip are blended together, so that these Hu Renqu marshals, who have reached the last moment, can't help but force themselves to imagine a turtle with a glorious image in their hearts.

Ah, no, it's called Feng Langjun.

Because this can anesthetize yourself and give yourself the feeling of grasping at the last straw.

"So what do we do now?"

"Smelting Moths is still bent on going its own way......"

……

That night, the sound of killing in the valley shook the sky, and the rebellious Qianghu suddenly broke out into internal strife, and blood flowed like a river.
