Chapter 66: The Battle of the Autumn Solstice (I)
"Report ——!"
A person dragged a long whistle, rushed into the big tent of Qiu Luo like the wind, and hurriedly said: "Patriarch! Something is wrong! The Qiang people set up an ambush, and the people of our clan who went up the mountain with their families were ambushed, and they suffered heavy casualties! ”
Qiu Luo, who was still eating tea leisurely, spit out in an instant, looked at the man in disbelief, and said, "You...... You say my people are being ambushed? ”
The soldier hurriedly said: "The second prince has already led a small number of soldiers and horses to the rescue, but those people seem to be from Shudu and are well-equipped, I am afraid that our army is not an opponent!" ”
"Pi Strike, this guy actually borrowed troops from Shudu?"
Qiu Luo was furious, and he had no time to blame the arrogance of the Taijia, so he hurriedly paced in the tent, worried in his heart, and asked: "The geometry of the soldiers and horses in Shudu, where is this fight?" ”
"There are about four or five hundred soldiers and horses in Shudu, and they are now attacking the mountains; Pi Strike seems to be still reorganizing his troops and horses, intending to raise troops and fight us to the death! ”
Qiu Luo broke out in a cold sweat, he originally planned to sneak attack others by himself, but he didn't expect to be beaten by the enemy! There are still three or four hundred people in the Qiang tribe, and there are almost a thousand people from Shudu, which is more than three times the number of their tribe!
What's more, at this moment, the mountain is full of ordinary people, even if the reinforcements from the cliff arrive, it will be a drop in the bucket.
"Today...... I have to fight to the death! ”
Qiu Luo's eyes suddenly became firm, and he looked at the bottom of the mountain from afar, and the faint wolf smoke gradually dispersed, casting a heavy shadow in Qiu Luo's heart.
……
In fact, Pi Zheng is now running through thousands of grass and mud horses in his heart.
The white unicorn is good at asserting it, and he actually sneaks up on the Di people like this! It seemed that they were caught off guard, but even so, it could not completely wipe out the Di people.
He had already received the news that the Di people suspected that a great flood was coming, so they moved the people. His plan is to lead the army to surround the Di tribe tonight, wipe out all the Di people who did not go up the mountain, and then set fire to the mountain, and none of those Di people who go up the mountain can escape!
The white unicorn is good at making claims, so that his plan is completely empty!
However, he couldn't be angry, so Pi Weng Shan persuaded: "Father, we can't stay here for more now, the child is willing to lead an army to surround the Di village, and Father can lead the army to join the White Army Hou and destroy the Di people on the mountain in one go!" ”
“…… Spit! I'll settle accounts with that sick seedling when I go back! ”
Pi Strike immediately made a decision, integrated all the tribesmen's soldiers and horses, originally they planned to sneak attack tonight, all the elite soldiers were all in good standby, with the order of Pi Attack, more than 300 people pulled out together, towards the Di tribe.
……
At the same time, high in the mountains.
Faced with the enemy coming from the bee chrysalis, Taijia was caught off guard, and after hastily placing the wounded people, he made a mistake in the face of the enemy who came from the surrounding mountain.
He had a group of civilians under him, unarmed, and even if he wanted to prepare the Rolling Stones, these enemies were so well trained that by the time they had prepared the Rolling Stones, the enemy's butcher's knives had already fallen on their necks.
"I didn't expect that old guy to be prepared...... This time it was a mistake! ”
If he has a bow and crossbow, he can use the terrain to repel the enemy; But he only has unarmed people under him, how can he be good?
"Big brother, what should we do?" Xingfu tugged at the cuffs of Taijia and asked at a loss.
"Yes, Taijia, we can't beat them, how can we be?" Some of the older men asked.
"Fight with them!" The slightly younger man shouted angrily, "It's a big deal to die, our tribe doesn't have a bad seed!" ”
Taijia shook his head and led the young man to counterattack, which was also hitting the stone with an egg; He was responsible for the lives and deaths of hundreds of people, and everyone believed in him, and he should not take the lives of his people as child's play.
"Oh oh oh!"
The soldiers and horses led by the white unicorn were like broken bamboos, and they had reached the foot of the mountain in a blink of an eye, and it was only a matter of time before they climbed to the top of the mountain.
Taijia gritted his teeth and shouted: "Young and strong men under forty years old and over fifteen years old come out for me!" ”
seemed to understand what the Taijia was going to do, and a group of young men rushed out without fear of death; Of course, there are also many people who are afraid of death hiding in the crowd and being caught by some sharp-eyed women.
However, there were also some old men in their fifties and sixties who came out with a stream of enthusiasm and were hurriedly pulled back by his family.
The Thai armor is a little thiner, but there are only more than 100 people, and in the face of 500 elite soldiers, their numbers and equipment are too cold.
"Hunters come out for me!"
After that, more than thirty young men came out, with their curved bows behind their backs, but most of them were soft bows, after all, you don't need too strong bows for hunting.
"You cover us at the top of the mountain, and when the enemy is halfway up the mountain, you will release your arrows! Do you understand that the women cut down wood to make arrows and sharpen wood without arrowheads? ”
Everyone has no choice but to listen to Taijia's words now; In a short time a few trees were cut down, and the women hurried to work, and in a short time hundreds of arrows were made. However, the arrows were extremely rudimentary, without even feathers, and I did not know how far the hunter's soft bow could shoot.
But the Taijia didn't expect the hunters to kill in the first place, they could suppress the enemy with firepower and reduce the speed of their attacks.
"The rest, follow me!"
Taijia already has a certain number in his heart, in the face of the huge enemy army, he can only kill their leader, and wait for the enemy army to have civil strife, they can take advantage of it!
……
Bai Qilin coughed lightly twice, and as the autumn wind gradually came, a chill involuntarily rose in his heart. He led the team across the river, looked at the already chaotic people on the mountain, and chuckled.
In his eyes, there is no such thing as innocent people. If they are really innocent, how many of those young people who joined the army are innocent?
In the midst of war, there will be casualties, whether military or civilian. He didn't understand any big truths, he only knew that he was marching in one place, and there was no grass. Whether it is a military or a civilian, as long as you do not surrender, you are enemies!
No one would have imagined that inside a very weak body, there is an extremely ruthless heart.
There is no contradiction between being humble to one's courtiers and being ruthless to one's enemies.
He turned his head to look and saw Du Hongchuan at the end of the line. Du Hongchuan had been unshackled by him, his clothes were ragged, his eyes were wandering, and he seemed to be looking for a way to escape.
The white unicorn didn't care about him, anyway, after this battle, this person would disappear from his sight.
"Soldiers, the enemy is just a group of unarmed rats, pick up your swords and guns, and follow me up the mountain!"
Bai Qilin took the heavy spear handed over by his subordinates and rushed to the front of the team. This heavy spear should have the thickness of a wrist, and the weight is probably not lower than Guan Yunchang's Qinglong Yanyue Knife, which can not only be used as a gun, but also as a heavy stick. I didn't expect that the white unicorn, which was like a sick seedling, could summon such a terrifying weapon!
"Kill the enemy army, grab money and food!"
The soldiers of the white unicorn were all excited, and they attacked the mountain like fierce tigers. The mountains and forests are dense, and the bright sunlight is hidden, and the surrounding environment instantly becomes dark.
If it was usual, Bai Qilin would still suspect that there were ambushes here, but in the face of a group of unarmed civilians, his guard instantly relaxed.
"Kill!"
……
He led a hundred soldiers and horses to rush out of the mountain, and happened to see the white unicorn not far away attacking the mountain. He was anxious in his heart, and was about to wave his army to rescue, but he didn't want the crowds of the Qiang people not far away, and a man with a broken arm led a group of soldiers and horses to rush out of the village and attack the Di tribe.
"Damn, there are still soldiers and horses!"
Biya knew that there were still many people in the tribe, and if Pi Weng Mountain led the troops to attack, those innocent people would become unjust souls in an instant.
The question in front of him became a choice between two or the other.
Is it to rescue most of the Di people who are surrounded on the mountain, or to rescue a small number of Di people in the village?
It was enough to entangle him.
But in just a moment, he chose the latter.
No matter which side they are, they are all members of their Di tribe, and they cannot favor one over the other because there are many people on one side, and all their people are innocent.
And on that mountain, there is another person he can trust......
