As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing a boulder in boiling water, so that the leaders of the various departments present shouted one by one, and when they saw that the momentum was not right, they quickly suppressed the discussion that had not yet gotten up, and said in a deep voice: "Big ghost master, now all the leaders have brought troops here, and the Sui army is only a day or two away from here, and now there are more than 100,000 people fleeing from all over the country in this village, you want us to withdraw now, how to evacuate, where to evacuate?" ”

Fu Xi's words were loud, with his stern expression and awe-inspiring momentum, which shocked everyone speechless, and Fu Jin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his Adam's apple moved, and said: "Well, naturally our soldiers took the initiative to attack, and there was no way to confront the ironclad army of the Sui army on this plain, only according to the old habits of our southerners, go into the mountains and forests, and ambush them everywhere, this is hopeful." ”

Fu Hui sneered: "Ambush? Do you think the Sui army is a fool, this time their general with troops has fought the Turks, and the famous general Shi Wansui who has leveled the south of the Yangtze River is well versed in the art of war, probably the big ghost master still doesn't know how they marched. Come, Leader Meng, you come and tell you about the Sui army you saw with your own eyes in the ambush battle two days ago. ”

A tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man who stood out in front of a group of short chiefs, wrapped in a turban, wearing a short-sleeved cloth shirt, muscular, and two hooked whiskers on his mouth, stood out, it was Meng Shelong, the leader of the Mengzhao tribe in the Mengshechuan area of Dali.

In all parts of Ningzhou, there are scattered large and small barbarian tribes, with Qujing and Dianchi as the core of the West Planing Baiman, as well as Qujing Hezhou, Maitreya River as the center of the East Planing Wuman. The white barbarians and the black barbarians are divided by the clothes they wear. The barbarian woman was dressed in black. The length of the dress drags the ground; The white barbarian woman was dressed in white, no longer than her knees.

There were many cattle and sheep in Wuman, but there was no cloth, and both men and women used oxen and sheepskins for clothing. There is no etiquette of kneeling. Some languages have to be translated four times before they can be understood in Chinese. The Wuman is a backward ethnic group that does not know how to farm and weave, and has little contact with the Han people. Bai Man's surname is Jiao's, since the Shu Han Dynasty, there are people in the past dynasties as local governors, and Bai Man's characters are the same as those of the Han people. The language is similar, plowing the fields and raising silkworms, and it is also the same as the Han people.

Since the warp took over the Wuman-dominated Dongfu region, the division between the east and the west has become more obvious, this time the warp was besieged, so far as the brother of the warp has not sent troops to rescue.

However, the Liuzhao tribe in the area of Xi'er River (now Erhai Lake, Dali) was the first wave of substitute ghosts, from the Dragonfly River to the area of the big and small Bolong, the warriors of these six tribes defended the village with danger and were beaten miserably. And this Meng Shelong is one of the tribal leaders of the Mengzhao tribe.

The Mengzhao tribe was originally in the area of Ailao (now Baoshan, Yunnan). After attacking and killing each other with the local tribes, they moved to the Mengshechuan River of the Xi'er River to settle down, and became a member of the Six Zhao (Zhao means tribal alliance) here, and because of its southernmost one in the Six Zhaos, it is also known as the Nanzhao tribe.

These six Zhao tribes are far away from the headquarters of the Fu clan, but they are the closest to the Han people's area, this time Shi Wansui marched, these six departments also bore the brunt, although they resisted all the way along the way, but they could not resist the pace of Shi Wansui's army marching, Meng Shelong just came to Wei County last night, and he came to ask for help.

Meng Shelong stood out of the ranks, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried: "Big Chief, you are the big chief of our entire Bai tribe, you can't leave our Liuzhao tribe alone, you can escape into the mountains and forests now, but our tribe has been occupied by the Sui army, our stockade has been burned by the Sui army, and our people are making cattle and horses for the Sui people.

Everyone can sit here today to discuss matters, it is because of the resistance of our Liuzhao tribe along the way, which has slowed down the speed of the Sui people's march, and now is also the time for you to repay us, for the sake of the same clan, I beg everyone to send troops to fight!" As Meng Shelong spoke, he burst into tears, and kowtowed to the planner again and again.

Before he could speak, he asked first: "Leader Meng, you said that you resisted all the way, may I ask how you resisted, the Sui army started from Chengdu, and it has only been a month since it arrived here, I think it seems that you have not stopped the footsteps of the march at all." ”

Meng Shelong's face turned slightly red, and he replied: "The Sui army is fierce, we are all in dangerous places all the way to defend, and there are ambushes in the woods on both sides, but the Sui army does not come up to fight us hand-to-hand at all, and they all start to fire arrows at a distance of a hundred steps from the village."

They kept their carts in the way on both sides, put up shields to guard against ambushes in the woods on either side of us, and halberdiers with lances to defend the sides, while on the front they sent archers and crossbowmen to shoot at our stockades, and our blow-arrows could only shoot a dozen paces, and they could not shoot them out of our range, and we could not defend them.

As long as the warriors on the side of the fence retreated, they used their lance soldiers to knock down the fence under the cover of the sword player, and then continued to advance. ”

Ji Jin's brows furrowed: "This road is not a smooth road, even if you can't defend the stockade at a dangerous place, can't you block the road with something, or attack the enemy camp at night?" I don't believe these Sui people can go without sleeping at night. ”

Meng Shelong cried and said: "The Sui army camped every night, with a heavy cart handlebar around, there were sentry guards on duty, the camp was full of torches, illuminating the surroundings clearly, and the Sui people were very bad, when they set up camp, they cut down all the trees within a radius of 200 steps around, and our soldiers could not approach at all.

Meng Basa, the edict lord of Meng Wang's edict, was killed in the night attack six days ago, the big ghost master, have you never fought with them, I don't know how powerful these Sui people are, the soldiers are not desperate, but give their crossbow arrows a round of attacks, hundreds of people can rush to their car in front of less than a dozen, and then give their long lance a stab, almost no one will be killed. ”

Ji Jin sighed: "It's July now, it's such a hot day, and the Sui army is camping in the dense forest, can't you think about what kind of fire attack, poisoning in the water, aren't these methods the traditional tricks of our southerners to deal with the Central Plains army?" ”

Meng Shelong shook his head, with a helpless expression: "The Sui people are very protective of these, and although they are camped with wood, they are covered with water-soaked cooked cowhide outside the cart, and we have also thrown torches, so they can't catch fire at all, as for the water source, they all use the car to ride the water that has occupied the place to move forward, and the water is clean."

And the springs we poisoned, they have also dealt with them, because they are all living springs, and the water can be used again after two or three days, and the Sui people will divide troops to guard the back road at the springs every dozens of miles along the way, leaving more than a thousand people in one place, and we have also tried to attack these places, but we can't take them either. ”

Meng Shelong's words were even more terrifying than those words just now, the terrible battle situation in front of him appeared in front of everyone's eyes with his words, those leaders who didn't really want to fight like Ji Jin had already exchanged their heads and began to discuss how to retreat, and even the main battle faction who also shouted and shouted and killed with Ji Gui just now were also silent, after all, the Bai Barbarian region of the Fu clan had not officially fought with the Central Plains army for hundreds of years, and the six edicts of the Xi'er River, which had the same root and origin as themselves, had been fought so badly, If you change yourself, you may not be much better.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, he waved his hand and said, "Lord Meng, then in your opinion, what should we do, how many people have you lost these days?" How many more fighters are still here now? ”

Meng Shelong hurriedly said: "This time, our Six Zhao tribe killed three edict masters, and two were also seriously injured, just me is a good one, adding up to more than 6,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 dead, more than 2,000 wounded, and more than 1,000 people who can still fight, all of them have withdrawn here." Now we have 70,000 or 80,000 Bai people here, and in my opinion, we don't need to play hide and seek with the Sui army in the jungle. ”

A rough voice sounded from outside the door: "Don't worry, everyone doesn't have to worry, with me, there will be no return to discipline Sui Jun!" (To be continued......)
