Liu Qingqing led the army to rush day and night, and on the way met the person who came back to report the news and Liu Jia who returned halfway.
After reading the blood letter written by Fang Meng and the informant's narrative, he was immediately furious. This loss was very different from what she had expected, and she had lost more than half of her personnel, as well as all the food and grass, so how could people not be distressed.
I couldn't help but speed up my march again, wanting to reach the Peerless Valley even faster.
The three major barriers of the Yue Kingdom against Daxuan are Guanlan Mountain, the Absolute Life Valley and the Tiannu River.
Guanlan Mountain is thousands of miles high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open the trend.
There is only one pass that only allows a carriage to pass through, and from the bottom to the pass, the slope is extremely steep, usually pulling things, horses can't be pulled, all people and horses are used together, pushing up the pass.
The sealing stone of the pass is a thousand catties of huge, and it is necessary to start the mechanism in the pass to move, and there are always rolling wood and stones and other things on it, if it is not for the night raid, these guarding equipment have not worked, and it is impossible for General Qi and Ben to take Guanqi Mountain.
The Absolute Valley is a narrow strip of land that is tens of miles long, located behind the Guanqi Mountain, forming a north-south direction, bow-shaped, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
All kinds of plants in the valley are dense, there are many kinds of diseases, after a long time, there are many obstacles, because of the special physique of the Yue country, they can adapt, but for outsiders, there is no return, hence the name, the valley of extinction.
Fang Mengzhi seemed to dare to flee to the Peerless Valley to do repairs, which was the reason.
The Tiannu River is a river that flows from the territory of Daxuan, cutting off the east-west mountain range of Guanqi Mountain, and passing from north to south, but when it reaches the bottom of the bow of the Absolute Life Valley, it is blocked, and it is rerouted to the east-west direction, flowing eastward, separating the north and south.
Because it is blocked and diverted, the sound of the water lapping against the mountain wall is like a galloping horse roaring and roaring, so it is named Tiannu River.
And because the mountains and canyons on both sides of the passage from north to south are full of rocks, the undercurrent is turbulent, the water ripples are complex, and almost no boat dares to cross it.
The east-west direction divided the north and south into two, and it became the third line of defense of the Yue country.
When Liu Qingqing crossed the iron lock bridge on the Tiannu River and arrived at the mountain between the Peerless Valley and the Tiannu River, Fang Meng was leading people to cut wood and build barracks in the Peerless Valley, and it seemed that he was not idle.
When he saw Liu Qingqing bringing people over to support, he hurriedly ran over, and said with a smile: "It's great that Lord Yue Wang can personally come to support his subordinates, Da Xuanguo is really despicable, and he actually killed so many of my brothers by means of night raids, we must avenge them to comfort their spirits in heaven." ”
Liu Qingqing didn't take his words, but just gave him an order with an expressionless face.
"You tell everyone to put down what they're doing and assemble at the camp we've built, I have something important to announce."
Fang Meng looked at her with a cold attitude, as soon as he came, he was going to gather people, he seemed to realize that something was going to happen, but he had to do it, he didn't have the capital to compete with Liu Qingqing now, because he had lost everything, food, grass, weapons, clothes, personnel, all had to rely on her to replenish.
With great reluctance, he had to call for people to gather his men and horses to the newly built camp on the mountain.
Fang Meng originally looked down on Liu Qingqing and his daughters, but in front of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Yue Kingdom, he had to reluctantly kneel down on one knee to report to Liu Qingqing.
"Lord Yuewang, except for the spies who have been released, all the personnel have been gathered, please show it to Lord Yuewang."
Liu Qingqing sat on a wooden stake expressionlessly, just coldly spit out a few words.
"Report the damage from this battle."
Fang Meng's heart tightened, as if he wanted to be held responsible, so he instinctively resisted.
"Isn't the blood book I asked the messenger to bring over clearly written!"
"Then say it again." Liu Qingqing still insisted and did not allow him to avoid it.
Tens of thousands of soldiers watched this scene, and the scene was quiet and very depressing.
"Except for the 19,123 brothers who escaped, the rest of the men, horses, grain, and instruments were all folded and closed."
Fang Meng tried very hard to say it, his expression was gloomy and his face was dull.
"Whose responsibility is that?" Liu Qingqing roared angrily.
"I ......, my responsibility, I'm sorry for the dead brothers, I'm sorry for the instructions you gave me, King Yue, it's all my fault, I'm guilty."
This is an irrefutable fact, as the commander of the defenders, he must take this responsibility, which shows that he is open-minded, does not shirk responsibility, and is a good coach with responsibility.
Besides, he thinks that Liu Qingqing can't do anything to him, and he has an idea that it doesn't matter.
Liu Qingqing snorted and stood on the stump of the tree where she was sitting.
"The soldiers present heard that the king of Beiyue said that he would take this responsibility, that is more than 30,000 lives, more than 30,000 parents have lost their sons, more than 30,000 wives have lost their husbands, more than 30,000 children have lost their fathers, it is you who have made more than 30,000 families lose their pillars, your greatest crime, the crime is unforgivable."
The audience was suddenly silent, pondering all the good things about the dead brothers, and felt that it was Fang Meng's ineffective command that led to the deaths of many brothers, and Fang Meng's responsibility was heavy.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
This is tantamount to giving Fang Meng a death pass and letting him leave a last word.
Fang Meng was so shocked that he sat on the ground and opened his mouth wide.
"There's nothing to say, is there?
Liujia dragged down and chopped. ”
Immediately, two Liuzhai warriors with big shoulders and round waists rushed up and held Fang Meng behind his back.
Fang Meng was willing to be caught like this, struggling to resist and explain.
"It can't all be on my head, who knows they'll raid, if you're guarding the pass, it's not much better than me, I'm afraid it's worse."
When the soldiers heard this, they also felt that it made sense, and they were suddenly in a dilemma, not knowing who to support.
Fang Hu saw that Fang Meng's situation was critical, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"Please listen to me, Lord Yue, at that time, it was a small leader who patrolled the night to open the pass privately, and it was not the fault of the King of Beiyue that he let the spies of the Great Xuan Kingdom disguise themselves as private iron merchants come up.
Later, the king of Beiyue found this group of villains, led people to fight back, killed this group of villains, when about to close the pass gate, a large number of reinforcements from the Great Xuan Kingdom killed in, the king of Beiyue also led us to fight to kill the enemy, but the enemy was outnumbered, we were outnumbered, and then retreated, and the king of Beiyue has tried his best. ”
"Yes! The King of Beiyue has really done his best. ”
Fang Hu told the whole story of being attacked, which made all the soldiers resonate, and they all knelt on the ground and pleaded for Fang Meng.
Liu Qingqing looked a little embarrassed, glanced at Fang Meng and said: "For the sake of the soldiers interceding for you, I decided to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so you will be punished with thirty military sticks first, in order to pay respect." Execute it now. ”
Fang Meng saw that he didn't have to die, but he just took thirty military sticks, and felt that it was worth it.
"Fang Meng has thanked Lord Yuewang, thank you, brothers, thank you."
There seems to be a sense of generosity.
Liu Jia glanced at Liu Qingqing's eyes, then found a guy and executed it in public.
The stick was like rain, Fang Meng didn't say a word, just grinned his teeth from time to time, endured the pain, and looked like a man.
In fact, Liu Qingqing didn't really want to kill him, but he just used him to stand up for Xiaoshuang.
As the saying goes, if you kill a mouse with one palm, people take it for granted, anyone can do it, and you are not a hero, but if you kill a tiger with one palm, then you will be worshiped by everyone, and you are a big hero.
Fang Meng is precisely this tiger.
"Ah......, I can't stand it! I can't stand it! ”
A soldier screamed, like madness, and ran towards him with his head in his hands.
"What's going on?"
Liu Qingqing asked.
Everyone was silent, and in the end, Fang Hu opened his mouth.
"The Great Xuan Army captured a lot of our prisoners, and in order to force us to surrender, they built a high platform in front of the camp and locked the prisoners inside.
"I'm not done with these animals. Liujia and Liuyi, put the soldiers and horses in order, we will kill the past and rescue our brothers. ”
"Don't go, they must have an ambush." Fang Meng leaned on the bench and shouted.
"Fearful, how can you achieve great things, Liu Jia, Liu Yi, take the long vine armor army and the crossbow soldiers with me."
After saying that, he walked towards the Peerless Valley without looking back.
Fang Meng received thirty military sticks, his buttocks bloomed, and he wanted to go, but he had more than enough strength to go, so he had to order Fang Hu to lead people to answer behind.
sighed in his heart, after all, it was a woman, with long hair and short knowledge. Be willful. This is the rhythm of paying the Yue Guo in. I only hope that she will lose fewer personnel, suffer a loss, and grow wiser.
"General, a group of people came from the other side."
The soldiers on the watchtower of Guanqi Mountain reported downward.
"Okay, the fish is finally hooked, get ready, ready to reel in the net. Looks like those baits are still working well, hehe! ”
General Qi was proud under the tower.
After a while, a group of Vietnamese soldiers wearing leather armor and modern rugby caps appeared on the high platform in front of the camp.
"Why is there no one?" Liu Jia looked around.
"Why is there no one, we are here, brothers, kill me."
A voice replied grimly, followed by people rushing over on three sides, trying to enclose them.
Suddenly, a rain of arrows shot from the Peerless Valley, knocking down a group of people who were rushing in front of them on three sides and preparing to close the siege.
"Don't be afraid, as long as we engage them in close combat, they won't dare to release arrows."
A battle-experienced leader cheers up the soldiers.
Finally, after a rain of arrows, three waves of men and horses rushed to the vicinity of the high platform and tore apart with the Yue leather armor army.
No matter where the sword of the Great Xuan Army cuts, the Yue Guo leather armor army just doesn't care, just stretch out the knife and slash at the opponent's neck.
Soon, Da Xuanjun discovered a problem, that is, he couldn't cut anywhere on the other party at all, and he only had to be beheaded when he faced the other party.
The three hundred wisteria armor army, like three hundred life harvesters, constantly harvested the lives of the Daxuan soldiers who blocked them from saving people.
Finally, Liu Qingqing took Liu Jia to kill the high platform of Guan Ren.
"Form a circle, save people and cover the retreat."
Liu Qingqing opened the prison and ordered.
Liu Jia led the people in a circle according to his words, put the captive hostages in the middle, and began to slowly retreat.
Seeing that the Daxuan soldiers couldn't cut each other, Zao Si no longer rushed up to cut each other, so they had to form a shield formation and dare to shoot arrows behind the formation.
They didn't dare to show their heads at all, as long as they showed their heads, they would definitely be killed by arrows, and finally they came to a conclusion that the other party had archers.
Under the cover of the rattan armor army and the strong crossbow, Liu Qingqing successfully rescued the hostages, which made the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom happy and their confidence greatly increased.
"How much is the loss?" General Qi asked his subordinates with a three-edged crossbow arrow.
"Three thousand five hundred and twenty-one people, none of them survived, the arrows were poisonous, and the throats were sealed with blood, they were too despicable."
"It was their leather armor that deceived us, and there should be heavy armor hidden in it, which may be the reason why they want to buy a lot of iron, we miscalculated, we were originally ambushing them, but they ambushed them"
"I don't think so, heavy armor doesn't get as flexible, there's almost no difference between them wearing armor and not wearing armor."
"And what do you think it will be?" General Qi asked.
"I don't know, if they hadn't walked away, we might have found something from the dead. Now it's impossible. ”
General Qi smiled and said, "At least now we know that they have these two weapons, which is also a blessing in misfortune, if their purpose is not to save people, but to launch a counterattack in the middle of the night, then we are in danger." Now immediately mobilize a large number of heavy weapons and shields from Linyue City, so that they can deal with the heavy armor soldiers and this kind of strong crossbow. ”
"Yes, General, my subordinates will do it immediately."
