Final Chapter. 224. Bloody battle in the mountains
The mountain people, who had just experienced a night of fierce fighting yesterday, were sleeping in their homes at this time; As for the energetic and murderous faces in front of Qin Jun, they have also lived in the Five Elements Mountains for generations, and they are concerned about the safety of Yaojiadian. It's just that no matter how fast a person's legs and feet are, they can't outrun the speed of the gong; In addition, most of these people lived in the deep mountains and old forests, and it was not until half an hour ago that they hurried to Niuxingou north of Yaojiadian.
This group of soil buns that have lived in the deep mountains and old forests for generations are really very strong; Dare to launch a retaliatory attack on nearly 100,000 court officers and soldiers in broad daylight! And the person who led the team this time is still the village chief of Niuxingou, that is, the second master who is old and strong and is accustomed to using a big knife of grass!
It's just that his old man went through the big scuffle yesterday, and he suffered a lot of knife wounds on his shoulder and back; So this time, he couldn't "take the lead", so he could only sit in the rear and lay a firm foothold for the children of the Township Warrior Team.
A soldier of the Qin army, who had just been awakened from his sleep, hurriedly held the war knife beside him. Then he raised his head, intending to find a relatively thin mountain man to compare two times, all as an appetizer to warm up and invigorate the blood. However, when he set his sights on a short, thin man as thin as a hemp pole, his eyes fixed on the other's neck, intending to chop it off with a knife; I saw the corners of the other party's mouth pull slightly, and his left hand quickly opened forward......
Just listen to the sound of "sand", a handful of delicate and soft dry stream sand, instantly raise the opponent's head and face!
This Qin soldier who miscalculated, his eyes were fascinated by the dry sand, and he cried into a tearful man in an instant, and his movements that were ready to go were completely out of shape.
However, the results of hard training are often shown at such critical junctures. Knowing that the enemy was right in front of him, he couldn't afford to be distracted, so he immediately swung his sword vigorously to prevent the mountaineer from taking advantage of the situation!
Just after he successfully cut down the two fellow brothers, he felt an inexplicable cold suddenly burrow into his lower abdomen, and the already insufficient strength in his body was quickly sucked away by this coldness. When the severe pain hit him like a mountain of water, he also naturally stood unsteady and rolled to the ground......
Then, he was repeatedly trampled on countless feet and finally turned into a puddle of rotten flesh, lying alone in the dirt......
The mountain people are not warriors, let alone samurai, and they do not pay attention to the so-called uprightness at all; They only knew that this gang of thieves had slaughtered Yaojiadian and killed two or three hundred villagers from the Five Elements Mountain! Therefore, they are not fighting for honor, just to survive.
Because the living environment in the mountains is relatively closed, the mountain people in each village are all related to each other; In addition, Yaojiadian occupies a convenient location, and the ancestors are all kind-hearted people, so they naturally make good connections and accumulate good fortune.
So these are 100,000 murderers, and they have become the common enemies of all the folks in the Five Elements Mountains!
In the final analysis, the cause of this confused battle is not a big deal at all. Standing in the minds of the soldiers of the Qin army, they were just passing by here, and by the way, they were just fighting the autumn wind. This is the way of survival of the Qin army now, and each of them kills justifiably and robs with a clear conscience.
Besides, then again, this isn't just for the Five Elements Mountain Family; After all, when they plagued the people of the Three Jin Dynasty, they did the same! The military master just took a few baskets of grain, and that is also worthy of your Five Elements Mountain Range! Dare to hand a knife to our Qin army? And the royal law is gone!
To put it unfairly, if the second uncle of Niu Xingou can swallow this breath; Then the loss is just a few dozen people in Yaojiadian, and a large number of grain and mountain goods, and it will not be to this point at all. After all, the goal of the Qin army is to go straight to Yanjing City, and it is to compete with Northern Yan for the world, how can there be spare time to rub in this poor mountain and bad water place?
But this matter is a different view for the mountain people here! The days in the mountains are extremely hard, but they are also calm and quiet enough, only the sun rises and sets, and the harvest of labor is just. Thriving in such an environment, the mountain people are also very simple-minded; Living with landscapes, birds and beasts all day long, following the laws of the jungle and nature, there is no such thing as "enduring a moment of calm"!
Thou hast burned my nest and killed my companions and cubs; Then I'll bite your throat, or die; Simple, and brutal.
So in their opinion, when the Qin army ransacked Yao's store, it was to smash the door of their own house! The next step is to ravage your family and rob your property, and there is no way back!
As the saying goes, "a good dog protects the three forests, and a good man protects the three villages", guarding his home is the responsibility that every villager in the Five Elements Mountains will never avoid! Don't say 100,000, even if it's 1 million, 10 million, they can only fight to the death.
However, mountain people are only mountain people after all, and they are experts in fighting, fighting, and crossing mountains and mountains; But to really fight with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, it is not by relying on small advantages such as surprises, waiting for work, and fighting tiger father and son soldiers to bridge the huge gap between the two sides!
Due to the lack of actual combat experience, the degree of cooperation between each other is not high, and the battlefield terrain is relatively open, which is conducive to the Qin army soldiers to line up to meet the enemy; Therefore, the revenge charge of the Xiangyong Regiment not only did not break the formation of the Qin army, but instead lay down a large area first......
Bell Bell Bell Bell ......
A rapid and familiar gong sounded again, and a group of skinny men with naked bodies popped out from between the mountains and forests on both sides!
Judging from the figure and demeanor of this group of "ambush soldiers", it is obviously a "defective product" that cannot meet the selection criteria of the Township Warrior Regiment; It's just that when they use scythes, shovels, and other farm tools, and rush into front of the battle; The soldiers of the Qin army, who had just severely damaged the spirit of the mountain people, were caught off guard!
Since the whole army slept on the streets last night, the terrain under their feet is now slightly higher than the official road; And these "soil buns" who climb mountains and mountains like walking on flat ground are generally shorter than the tall and mighty Qindi men!
When the two sides fought, most of the mountain people raised their heads and launched an offensive from the bottom up; The tall and mighty Qin army also needed to wield its blades from top to bottom to fight with the dwarf mountain people; In this way, the sickles and hoes in the hands of the mountain people can very comfortably cut the calves of the Qin soldiers and break the tendons of the opponent; However, it was difficult for the soldiers of the Qin army to cut the necks of the mountain people with one sword......
You can't lie on the ground and fight, right......
Chen Ziling, who felt that he was in control, heard the wails of the people in front of him, and immediately went to watch the battle; I saw that the brethren who were at the forefront of the front were like wheat cut by a sickle, and they fell down like a large piece of wheat! Although this injury is not fatal, even if it is cured, it can be regarded as half a waste......
Chen Ziling understood after just one glance, and immediately ordered in a loud voice:
"Soldiers, all spread out in formation and fight against the enemy!"
Although Chen Ziling was not born in the army, after dozens of days of bloody battles, he at least entered the door. With this shout, he immediately found the best way to break the enemy for the soldiers of the Qin army who were in a dilemma.
Since the gap in physical fitness between the two sides is so big; Why bother maintaining the formation! Extrapolating from the experience of yesterday's battle of Yaojiadian, when it comes to fighting on flat ground, a most ordinary Qin army soldier is enough to compete with more than three mountain people!
Yesterday was limited by the terrain, so this bandit in black armor fell into the eyes of the mountain people, and he was just a sturdy "dog bear", which could be played to death by them; However, it was not until today that the two masters, who opened a "fair battle" in front of the gong and the drum on the opposite side, and watched the enemy in the rear, understood what kind of gap there was between the "two armies......
It turns out that the people who have knives in their hands are still people after all......
Chen Ziling, the general of the expedition to the north, showed an extremely excellent ability to adjust tactics, and those mountain people who suffered extremely losses were unexpectedly killed all over the field!
After all, with only a few hundred mountain and wild villagers, they dared to attack the Qin army's 100,000 tigers and wolves head-on! This natural defeat can be regarded as a valuable lesson for the second master who commanded the army before the first battle in this life!
It's just that the tuition fees are a little too expensive.
If it weren't for the soldiers of the Qin army who scattered out of the formation, at this time, one would be outflanked by the rear, and I am afraid that even a fish that slipped through the net would not be able to escape! The inexplicable Chen Ziling looked at the dozens of survivors who fled in the wilderness, and couldn't figure out what they were here for...
However, a hearty victory did not bring any joy to the soldiers of the Qin army. Chen Ziling understood that this was due to low morale caused by hunger, and the problem of food and grass could not be delayed any longer.
So, taking advantage of this great victory, Chen Ziling selected a group of Qin army brothers who were familiar with the mountain environment and went into the mountains again to search for grain.
Sure enough, the mountain goods and food hoarded in Yaojiadian were not quickly transferred by the angry mountain people. And Chen Ziling's party slowly hung the grain down the cliff in the form of a sling; I'd rather spend more time than leave the mountaineers a chance to fight back.
However, his caution did not come in handy; The grain delivery process lasted all day without incident.
The death of a few hundred people in battle is a drop in the bucket for a hundred thousand Qin troops; But for the villages in the Five Elements Mountains, it is no less than a catastrophe! The days in the mountains are already hard, and there are fewer middle-aged men in the family, how can I live in the days to come!
The army of the Five Elements Mountain had just withdrawn to Niuxingou, and the second uncle, who was burdened with many war sores, saw the villagers at the entrance of the village who were beating gongs and drums to celebrate the triumph of the army, and immediately raised a sudden fire and vomited blood and died on the spot. Most of the villages and villages at the southern foot of the Five Elements Mountain are also white and mourning.
They were not beaten, but half of their bodies were cut off alive; Under such circumstances, how can he go to Yaojiadian again and ambush Chen Ziling's department?
