Chapter 0347. Smoke is everywhere, corpses are everywhere...
After experiencing the Goguryeo War, Li Jie once swore that the road to Goguryeo was the worst, and now he has found out that his curse was early.
The terrain of Quanzhou is quite flat, and then the northwest direction 'advances' into the Minjiang River basin are some plains, there are rugged mountains everywhere, under the attack of the barbarians, the foundation of Han rule that took two or three hundred years to establish is almost collapsed, the ferries at various intersections and ferries were burned, and the bridges were destroyed, making it almost impossible for the Tang army to move an inch.
As a last resort, Li Jie simply mobilized the big ship to go west from the mouth of the Min River, and along the river along the way, which was a little faster, Rao was so, and the Tang army was only in time to collect the corpses, and the prefectures and counties where they passed were burned, the farmland became ruins, the villages were full of corpses, the beacon smoke was everywhere, and the entire land of Fujian was full of blood.
Boatloads of refugees were transported east to Quanzhou for refuge.
Docked at the Nantong River, a tributary of the Minjiang River, on the big boat, a lone lamp illuminates the map of Fujian is 'cloudy' and sunny, and the large area of black under the lamp covers a large area of land on the map.
"Alas, it seems that this war 'chaos' is definitely planned for a long time, the She people from Zhang's 'tide' land to the north, Wulingman from Changting and other places to the east, the target is all Han state capital, the Han people have developed and lived in this place for hundreds of years, and their strength has expanded several times, especially after we logged in Quanzhou, some local scholars who lost their land increased their efforts to reclaim the land, but I didn't expect it to stab the 'excited' indigenous people in Fujian."
"However, while Hermes-Epitek was not completely powerful, there were some far-sighted people among the She-me-Epitek." Shaking his head and looking at the map, Lao Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh, but Scar Liu on the side was full of impatience when he listened, and shouted sadly: "Changshi, now is not the time to sigh for the enemy, Jianzhou is in front of you, and the surname Hu also sent a letter for help, this Jianzhou is still not saved?" ”
"It's hard to save this place!" Frowning, Lao Yang Yi still shook his head, and said helplessly: "The last time we grabbed grain, our cavalry also walked this road, and several main roads to Jianzhou were all in the woods, and now Lei Wanxing is entangled in eighteen 'holes' and all of them are besieged around Jianzhou. ”
"Then, don't you save it? But more than 40,000 people in the counties of Jianzhou have all fled to the city, so do you think they fell under the butcher's knife? ”
On the side, Qin Huaiyang shouted a little 'excitedly', and Li Jie, who listened, was also hesitant, but Lao Yang Yi kept shaking his head.
"Don't forget that Huda was also a rebel before, so why waste your precious troops on him?"
"But the people are innocent!"
No one expected that the most 'excited' jumped out was actually Fuzhou Thorn Shi Zhong Yuanhong, full of 'agitation', Zhong Yuanhong patted his 'chest' and banged, nervous and arrogantly waved his hand and shouted: "It's not a pity for us to die, but that's more than 40,000 lives, doesn't the King of Min want to dominate Fujian?" The people are dead, how can they still be called the king of Fujian? ”
"Shut up!"
Xue Qing, 'Medicine' Geluo, Li Rong and the others immediately roared angrily, and Scar Liu even pulled out the knife directly, shouting: "It's clear that you people are plotting against you, 'provoking' a monstrous disaster, and you dare to rely on my Royal Highness?" ”
"Stop, Lao Liu, put away the knife."
Li Jie suddenly raised his arm, his big sleeves blocked in front of Zhong Yuanhong, who was trembling all over his body, and he was silent for a moment before he had no choice but to let out a breath of turbidity. "Zhong Tingshi is right, the people are dead, what kind of King of Min is it?"
"But Your Highness!" Old Yang Yi immediately jumped up eagerly, but Li Jie waved his hand again to stop his words and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Yang, Lone will not be desperate, after Yan Agu fights, you lead several regiments under your command to assemble, Xue Qing, the Jiufeng Mountain Slang Army who was recruited to help the battle is alone, a total of 5,000 people are lightly armed and go to Wulin Road to approach Jianzhou, waiting for the opportunity to move, and the rest of the army will defend the camp on the spot." ”
"Your Highness, let's go." Wang Xuance hurriedly snatched it out, but Li Jie still shook his head and refused.
"Do a full set of plays, since you have decided to save it, it is better to go out alone, you command the army in the rear, and you can respond at any time!"
Seeing that Li Jie said quite resolutely, Wang Xuance had to retreat silently, and on the side, the three girls of the eldest grandson weaver appeared again, and before the eldest grandson weaver spoke, Li Jie's eyes were already round, and he blew his beard and glared and shouted: "Do you want to go out with Gu in the future?" ”
The husband was greatly invigorated, and the eldest grandson Zhi also had to retreat in a daze, Li Jie was able to smile and order: "Everyone go to prepare, set off tonight, and strive to come back directly at night after receiving the people of Jianzhou!" ”
"Whoa!" After receiving the order, several people immediately answered loudly and went out of the 'door'.
Most of Wanyan Aguda's subordinates are people, that is, the later Oro 'Chun' people, 'female' real people, mixed with some Khitan people who are also born in the deep mountains and old forests, a small number of 'elite' sharp Tang Army as the backbone, and there are also recruited familiar terrain slang people on the periphery to explore horses, this arrangement is also reassuring, taking advantage of the night', 5,000 soldiers lined up in a loose formation, slowly advancing towards the woods on the shore.
"Uncle Yang, don't worry, if something is wrong, Lone will return it as soon as possible." On the stage, Li Jie and Lao Yang Yi said goodbye, seeing that his head of the family was determined to win, and the last words of admonition Lao Yang Yi had to hold back, but before stepping off the platform, Li Jie saw two blurred shadows flashing in the camp.
"Isn't that Zhong Tingshi and Miss Chen?" Raising his eyebrows, Li Jie muttered suspiciously, and following his eyes, Lao Yang Yi suddenly came to mind.
"Your Highness, there is only one 'woman' left in the Chen family, if Your Highness marries her, she can rightly accept the land of Fujian and win the hearts of the people."
"Forget it." Hurriedly shook his head, Li Jie was helpless and said with a wry smile: "There are a few demon 'elves' in the lonely family now, so Uncle Yang should spare me." ”
Thinking of the fierceness of several princesses, Lao Yang Yi couldn't help but knock on his head with a headache.
After gossiping goodbye, Li Jie also joined the team on foot and plunged headlong into the vast mountains.
Rustling, heavy footsteps on the fallen leaves, several people tall Wuling barbarian carrying a big knife carefully patrolled in the forest, looking at the dark bushes left and right, a big tree not far in front of Leng Buding was swayed twice, the leaves fell colorfully, and the barbarian warrior captain whose face was painted with red 'color' battle marks immediately flashed vigilance in his eyes, hunched his waist and waved his hand, and a small group of thirteen people fanned towards the place where the voice sounded.
After a while, the Wuling barbarians 'groped' to find the place where they sounded, and pushed aside the grass, there were only a few footprints in the same place, but there was no one, and several barbarians couldn't help but look at each other in amazement.
"The iron law of scouts, when there is movement, it is reported in time, not the courage of a horseman!"
The Chinese language suddenly sounded behind him, and the thirteen barbarians immediately turned their heads in shock, but what caught their eyes was a rain of arrows in the sky, and in the sound of 'meat', the barbarian sentry was lying on the ground with a convulsion, and the hunters of Liaodong hunted tigers and bears in the mountains all the year round, and the numbing 'medicine' that such beasts could put down, and a dozen or so barbarians were naturally not a problem.
Zhang Ergou was able to slip down the tree extraordinarily, and stepped forward to give these barbarians a good time, when he was caught off guard, there was a bow sound behind him, and when he turned around, he just saw Wanyan Agu closing the bow, and at the same time, a Wuling barbarian with a bow and arrows on the other tree fell.
"Your Highness has also said that scouts must be meticulous and not reckless."
Listening to Yan Agu's lesson, Zhang Ergou couldn't help but feel depressed, stretched out his foot and stepped on the throat of the Wuling barbarian warrior who was still puffing out his eyes, and urged boringly: "Hurry up and work, the army still depends on us to guide the way, hey, don't be like a wooden stake!" ”
Zhang Ergou led a few scouts to work, but Wanyan Aguda was stunned aside, constantly 'smoking' his nose, for a while, he suddenly took two steps quickly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Ergou's collar and said hurriedly: "No, we just killed a few people and didn't shed much blood at all, so strong smell of blood." ”
The corpse couldn't be hidden, and more than twenty scouts hurriedly rushed forward with the strong smell of blood type rancidity, and after a while, looking at the glade in front of them, both Zhang Ergou and Wanyan Aguda couldn't help but be stunned.
At the time of a stick of incense, Li Jie also had an ugly face and led the team to the front of the clearing, all the corpses in front of him, the whole hillside was full of Han corpses, no less than thousands, the corpses had rotted and maggots in the hot environment of Fujian, and the rancid smell of the sky was so bad that people couldn't get close for a moment.
"With so many corpses, it is impossible for there to be so many people nearby except for Jianzhou City, why are these people dying here?" Looking at this scene in amazement, Wang Fangyi, who was guarding Li Jie's side, stayed for a while before muttering, and Li Jie's heart suddenly burst into obscurity.
At this time, Zhang Ergou's shout sounded on the other side of the hill: "Your Highness, the soldiers of the Fujian Prefecture!" ”
On the battlefield at the other end, more than 1,000 Tang army soldiers wearing the Tang Xuanhuang 'color' armor lay on the ground, many people's heads were cut off, and a head pyramid was built at one end, which was obviously the masterpiece of some headhunter barbarians, judging from the ruins on the battlefield, it was very sad, it was simply a one-sided massacre.
Covering his nose and walking in a small circle, Li Jie could even imagine how this part of the government soldiers fled in panic and despair with the people's families, and as a result, they fell into an encirclement and were slaughtered by countless native barbarians.
"This, Your Highness, found the head of the Jianzhou Thorn Shihuda in the skull!"
As soon as he heard this, Li Jie's back was stiff, and he ran over in three steps and two steps, the stench was stinking, and he was pressed under a large number of heads, and some of his deformed heads were extremely hideous, and even maggots were crawling in his eyes, if it wasn't for a special 'colored' beard, it would not be easy to recognize.
"At least I've been dead for more than two days, otherwise it can't rot to this extent." The accompanying slang guide muttered with fear, and the panic in Li Jie's heart became even stronger.
Huda has been dead for two days, who came to ask for help with the Jianzhou Thorn Shi Yin letter!
"The rear team becomes the front team, and the whole army retreats sideways!" A moment later, Li Jie was already shouting in a cold sweat, but before the stunned generals could carry out the order, the team that stopped behind the corpse group had already let out a terrible scream.
"Enemy attack!"
Cold sweat suddenly rolled down from the 'door' of Li Jie's brain.
