Chapter 241: Defend against Danger

The villagers of Zhaojia Village were in a hurry, and Liu Xian and the others followed from a distance, but they didn't even notice it.

However, Liu Xian didn't call them specifically, just followed unhurriedly.

Liu Xian came from Changshan County early in the morning, and it was still about an hour before noon.

The weather is also really cold, even more chilly in this mountain, and the snow in the sky has been drifting, and the snow has covered the mountains and forests with a layer of white cotton.

The snow on the mountain trail is not too thick, and when you step on it, you can only step on it up and down your feet, as if you were stepping on cotton.

The Yellow Turban thieves, who have only come to more than 100 times, naturally will not be taken into Liu Xian's eyes, but for the people of Zhaojia Village, it is a threat of life and death. Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhao Jun and others are so nervous.

When he was in Zhaojia Village, Liu Xian could sense through the breath of Zhao Jun and others, Liu Xian could sense that many of them should be people who practiced martial arts, especially Zhao Jun and that Ling'er, this Ling'er should be Zhao Yun's sister-in-law, and she may be stronger than Zhao Jun.

But no matter how strong they were, Liu Xian didn't sense the real internal qi fluctuations in their bodies. That is, at most, they are relative to the strength of the elite soldiers.

Among the Yellow Turban Army, they dispatched more than 100 people, and there will definitely be a small leader of the Yellow Turbans here, and the strength of the captain of the ordinary 100-man team is at least about the same as the strength of the ordinary officers and soldiers Dubo, or even stronger. In other words, they are all extremely strong guys, and they belong to the strongest people in the realm of strength under the quasi-military generals. It's about the same as Wang Leopard's strength.

And Zhao Jun, or Ling'er, is still a little short of this strength realm, they are really right, it is estimated that the two couples will shoot together, and they may not be the opponents of the little leader of the yellow scarf.

What's more, among the Yellow Turban Army of the 100-person team, in addition to the small leader of the team, there are also the Yellow Turban squad leader, etc., at least there will be more than ten Yellow Turban thieves who can fight with Zhao Jun and them.

Of course, these are only Liu Xian's estimates, and everything has to be seen by the Yellow Turban Thieves to know the real situation. But it is almost certain that if it is a head-on fight, Zhaojiacun will definitely suffer.

After a while, Liu Xian followed them to the place.

to the fairy bridge that they called it.

Seeing this place, Liu Xian secretly praised.

It turned out to be a place with a dangerous mountain.

It is a river valley that seems to have been split from a mountain and become two peaks with small rivers in between. The small river flows from the foot of the mountain, and this small river is the small river in front of Zhaojia Village.

On the side where Liu Xian and the others are located, there is a cliff, and this cliff also seems a little abrupt, it is estimated that there has been a collapse, and this cliff has appeared.

The cliff went straight down dozens of meters high, connecting the small river below, and the place where Liu Xian and the others were still twenty or thirty meters high before reaching the top of the cliff.

Here, on the edge of the cliff, a path was carved out.

This cliff is about tens of meters, so the passage carved out between this cliff is dozens of meters long, and in the middle, it may have experienced a second collapse, so someone paved the bridge with some long stone strips, so that people can pass unimpeded.

The path carved out of the cliff is so narrow that at most one person can carry something through.

Liu Xian saw the place and understood a little, it turned out that the immortal bridge that the people of Zhaojia Village said was not a real bridge, but a place that was dangerous.

Not to mention, if the people of Zhaojia Village stay here, those yellow turban thieves from the west may be really difficult to come.

At this time, I saw that those villagers of Zhaojia Village were already guarding the side of the cliff, and there were more than a dozen people climbing up to the top of the cliff, probably to guard on it, so as not to let the Yellow Turban thieves directly climb over this mountain and turn over from the top of the cliff.

At this time, on the other side of the cliff, there was really a large group of people and horses, and it was really a yellow turban thief army with a yellow turban on their heads.

The cliffs are separated by only tens of meters away, and as soon as those yellow turban thieves arrived, they saw that there were villagers here, but they did not come over immediately, but shouted at that end.

"From Zhaojia Village, what do you mean by this? Get out of the way and stand back! “

"You bandits! Don't think about it, our Zhaojia Village will never surrender to you. “

"Bastard! Are you looking for death in Zhaojia Village? We, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, have already sent you a message, asking you to prepare food and surrender to us, otherwise, we will kill your chickens and dogs in Zhaojia Village. “

"What Montenegrin Yellow Turbans? Some mountain bandits, why should they surrender to you? Do you want food, do you want to come over? No way! “

With the shouting of those yellow turban thieves, the crowd in Zhaojia Village scolded them angrily.

The villagers in the mountains, the people are strong, these are well known. At this time, those Yellow Turban thieves really didn't dare to rush through the dangerous road between the cliffs.

Well, there is no barrier to the dangerous road between the cliffs, and if you accidentally fall off the cliff, you will definitely have to fall to pieces.

Most of the villagers in Zhaojia Village are holding some spears, and more than a dozen villagers are holding hunting bows and are waiting for the battle.

The arrival of Liu Xian's party, Zhao Jun and they also saw it.

At this time, those yellow turban thieves didn't dare to come over, and Zhao Jun ran back.

"Little brother Liu Xian, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to leave first? “

"If a thief comes to invade, how can you leave here? I'll come over to take a look, and if you need help, Brother Zhao Jun will say hello. Liu Xian pointed to the thieves on the other side of the cliff: "That's them, right?" The place you chose is really good, as long as you hold this side, they won't be able to get over at all. It seems that you don't need our help anymore. “

"Alas, there are many thieves, and our Zhaojia Village can only rely on this dangerous terrain to defend it, and not let those thieves come." Zhao Jun looked a little helpless and said: "But this is not a perfect strategy, let alone a long-term solution." ”

Liu Xian could understand, nodded and said, "That's right, your Zhaojia Village is targeted by them, and it is estimated that this matter will be difficult to be good." ”

"In order to keep the old and young in Zhaojia Village, we really don't want to have a conflict with them, if it weren't for them asking for too much food from our Zhaojia Village, we wouldn't be able to take it out at all, and we don't want to keep them here." Zhao Jun tightened the spear in his hand and said: "In the past, there would be mountain bandits and robbers who asked us for money and food, and in order to avoid trouble, we would generally give them some money and food. But these yellow turban thieves are different, and they have to force us to death. ”

I am afraid that there are really few villages in the mountains that have not been threatened by mountain bandits. In most villages, they usually give a certain amount of money and food to the bandits to keep the village safe. Generally speaking, once or twice a year, those mountain bandits and robbers are given money and food, and these amounts are also within the tolerance of the villagers, so those mountain bandits and robbers will not seriously loot those villages, and under normal circumstances, they will not kill people easily.

In fact, these situations are similar everywhere, even the most fierce mountain bandits and robbers are impossible to slaughter all the surrounding villages and villages. They also understand the principle of the long stream, and they kill everyone and scare them away, so where do they get food? All of this depends on the villagers to grow food.

Liu Xian can really understand Zhao Jun's current difficulties. I also know that the current Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, they have gathered too many people and horses at once, millions of people, even if there are not so many now, but there must be hundreds of thousands of horses. So many people, what do they eat in the mountains?

That's why they ask for food from the surrounding villages, and this amount must be more than those villagers can bear, and those villagers can't afford that much.

Perhaps, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro does not want to kill people indiscriminately, and hopes that those villages will surrender to them and become their people, so that they can produce food for them in the future. But all of this has to be solved before the current food shortage can be solved.

For villages that are unwilling to surrender and unable to produce the food they are asking for, they will certainly start plundering.

Liu Xian could see at this time that although Zhao Jun took the villagers to temporarily block the Yellow Turban Thief on the other side, they didn't dare to come over. But it's really just a stopgap measure.

There is not only one way to Zhaojia Village, and the Yellow Turban Thieves are not the only ones with more than 100 people in front of them.

It is also conceivable from this that Zhaojia Village is indeed in danger.

I forced back the Yellow Turban thieves today, and I will come back tomorrow.

"Who has the final say in your Zhaojia Village? Come out and speak to Lao Tzu! ”

At this moment, a loud cry came.

A strong man who was obviously different from the ordinary Yellow Turban thief stood on the edge of the cliff.

"Brother Liu Xian, you better go, we will definitely not compromise with the bandits, and there may be a fight in a while. This matter has nothing to do with you, there is no need to wade into this troubled water. Zhao Jun persuaded: "We can handle the yellow turban thieves who came this time, and we don't need your interference." ”

"It's okay, we'll see. Besides, our deal isn't done, and I can wait until you've repelled the Yellow Turban Thieves. Liu Xian shook his head, resolute and unwilling to leave.

"This ...... Then stand back, for they have bows and arrows, so that they don't hurt you by mistake. ”

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he turned his head and walked to the edge of the cliff.

"Zhao Jun of Zhaojia Village, we have nothing to say. Please go back. Zhao Jun shouted at the leader of the yellow scarf.

"Zhao Jun, right? You Zhaojia Village have to think about it, now in this mountain, it is our Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army who has the final say, if you don't surrender, and you don't pay enough food, that will be the end of being destroyed. Think clearly, do you really want to be the enemy of our Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army! ”

The leader of the Yellow Turban looked impatient, if it weren't for this damn cliff, which made the road to Zhaojia Village difficult, he would have done it without saying a word.

The Yellow Turban Army rebuilt its base camp in Montenegro, and led the Yellow Turban Qu Commanders who fled into the mountains to make some development plans after passing the total. The most important point is to get grain and subdue the large and small villages in the mountains. They want these villages not only to be their food sources, but also to be their eyes and ears.

In this way, they sent a number of Yellow Turban troops, usually hundreds, to subdue the villages in the mountains.

Each team of Yellow Turban thieves will have certain tasks, such as how much food to get back, how many villages to conquer, and so on.

This team of Yellow Turban thieves, they haven't completed their mission yet, so they won't go back until they reach their goal.

This section of the cliff is dangerous, but it is only a few tens of meters, and he doesn't think that it will be their obstruction, as long as there is a possibility of death, he has to take this risk. Therefore, if you can intimidate the people of Zhaojia Village and make them obediently pay enough food, they can still retreat and will not enter the village.

After all, they don't want to die either.

Of course, if there was no such dangerous road, he would not say more here, in his heart, he actually wanted to enter Zhaojia Village. Because there will definitely be quite a few women in the village.

After these Yellow Turban soldiers entered the mountain, they were really short of food and clothing, and they hadn't smelled femininity for a long time.

In addition, there are many villages in other places, but none of them have anything to do with this yellow turban leader. Because of the patronage of other Yellow Turbans, the villages that did not surrender to their Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army have long been looted, and the women have long been robbed.

"It is impossible to surrender to you thieves, this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty, surrender to you? Isn't that tantamount to rebellion? As for food, where do we still have food? It's better to do this, when there is a harvest in the coming year, our Zhaojia Village can promise to give you 300 catties of grain. Let's not interfere with the river water from now on, okay? Zhao Jun replied loudly.

"Three hundred pounds of grain? Haha, do you think our Yellow Turbans are beggars? Perhaps, the lives of a hundred or dozens of people in your Zhaojia Village are only worth these 300 catties of grain? ”

"Phew! If you don't surrender and don't pay for food, then we'll have to fetch it ourselves. It doesn't matter if you don't get out of the way, I'll see who can stop it! ”

"Little ones, prepare for this commander, kill the past, and kill Zhaojia Village without leaving a chicken and dog!"

The little leader of the Yellow Turban Army couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed over this morning, not to have a fight with the people of Zhaojia Village.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Yellow Turban thieves were also a little excited, raising their weapons and shouting to cheer them on.

The leader of the yellow turban flashed back.

After a while, on the other side of the cliff, in a clearing, more than a dozen Yellow Turban thieves with bows and arrows walked out.

At the same time, more than a dozen Yellow Turban thieves with shields walked to the dangerous crossing.

"Archers release arrows! The shield soldiers killed Lao Tzu! ”

With the shouts of the little leader of the Yellow Turban, the dozen or so archers were the first to put down their arrows.

This cliff is only a few tens of meters wide, and it is completely within the range of a bow and arrow.

The more than a dozen Yellow Turban bow soldiers, the bows and arrows they shot with a whizz, really posed a certain threat to Zhao Jun and others.

However, the threat was not too great, because the bow and arrow were shot along the mountain wall, but they could not turn and shoot the villagers who were hiding on the side of the mountain.

When they released the arrows, the villagers of Zhaojia Village alertly dodged the bows and arrows that came from them.

Those Yellow Turban shield soldiers had already landed on the dangerous road at this time.
