Chapter Seventy-Five: Xianbei's Anger Reaches an Unprecedented Catastrophe
Dozens of people were sent out, and most of the villagers dragged their families and hid in the mountains. As the saying goes: 100 people and 100 hearts, it is difficult to achieve one thing. There are 1,000 or hundreds of people in Taiping Village, how easy is it to persuade all of them to go up the mountain? Despite the efforts of many parties, there are still dozens of people left.
The Xianbei people finally came in a big way, they rushed into the village, killed people when they saw them, and cut them when they met people, although Wang Ren and others harassed them, there were still more than a dozen people who died.
The rest fled desperately, either into the sorghum field, or fled into the deep mountains and dense forests, while Wang Ren and the others also fought and retreated, relying on the terrain familiarity, so they left a few brothers and retreated into the mountains.
The Xianbei people were outnumbered, so they concentrated their men and launched a frantic attack.
At the critical moment, it was Liu Ping who offered a plan again, dispersed into small teams, used the mountains and forests as a cover, and adopted mushroom warfare against the Xianbei people.
After entering the dense forest, they lost the mobility of their horses, and climbing the mountain was their fatal weakness. In the dense forest, archery is also limited to a certain extent, but it was pointed out by the people of Taiping Village to fight east and west, and with the tactics of picking more mushrooms and less mushrooms, they were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, and dozens of people were killed and injured for no reason, and they had to withdraw from the mountains and forests.
The Xianbei people failed to retaliate, but suffered a big loss, they were resentful, and took Taiping Village as the object of venting, and when they withdrew, a fire was ignited, except for the looted property, the rest were all turned into ashes.
After beating off the attack of the Hu people, Wang Ren and others cheered and celebrated the victory of the second Han-Hu confrontation. But in addition to joy, I also feel sad for my brothers who have lost their lives and the villagers who have died. In this conflict, one of the thirteen wolves was killed, and it could only be renamed the twelve wolves in the future.
The people stranded in the village were burned beyond recognition, and even burned to a black skeleton of bones, which was really miserable. The dead were long gone, and grief was useless, so everyone had to grab the corpses into the mountains. Fearing the comeback of the Hu people, the people of Taiping Village could only hide in the mountains.
The owner of the Taiping Inn was also killed in this disaster, and Li San became a helpless orphan again, with no source of livelihood, he could only take a huge risk and sneak into the village to find out information. Seeing Li Yi and the three rushing in, Li San thought it was the cavalry of the Hu people, and he ran away in a smoke while his soul was in fear, and then hid in the inn.
Li San finally said: "The father-in-law often deals with the Hu people, and his old man thought that he could escape this catastrophe, but he didn't expect that the Hu people had already killed the red-eyed, and the father-in-law had no chance to speak, so he died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Hu people!" My father-in-law was so kind to me, but he was killed by the Hu people, and asked his brothers to avenge his old man! ”
Knowing that there were not many injured people, Li Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he nodded and said: "Revenge must be avenged, with the elder brother here, the third brother can rest assured." But Xianbei is strong, and we still need to think long-term! Hearing that it was the Xianbei soldiers who killed people and set fires, Li Yi was a little disappointed.
"The convoy has arrived, and now the village is in shambles, where are the goods unloaded?" Hearing the shouting outside, Yu Bing, whose eyes were red, hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Unload the goods first, send the coachman away, and as for the rest, let's take our time." Zhang Ying looked at the room of the inn and said, "It's almost noon now, and it is unlikely that the Xianbei people will commit it again, so the inn can be temporarily stored for a day." ”
"That's all there is to it!" Yu Bing nodded, then turned around and went out, she kept wiping her tears as she walked.
"Third brother, if you go to the mountains once, I will say that a few masters will return to Taiping Village, and let Wang Ren and Liu Ping return to the village to discuss affairs!" Zhang Ying looked calm, as if he had expected it.
"No!" Li San responded, but did not move a step.
"What are you doing in a daze, go quickly!" Zhang Ying raised his eyebrows.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Sancai said: "The deceased has been parked for seven days, and today is the day of burial. I went back to the village to listen to the news, because I was afraid that the Hu people would suddenly arrive and catch us off guard. ”
A group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials are the main enemies to be dealt with, while all other forces are the targets to be fought for. If you kill the Xianbei prisoners of war, won't you have a deeper and deeper enmity with them? Li Yi thought of this, he grabbed Li San and said: "The Hu prisoners can't be killed, it's almost noon now, time is running out, take me into the mountain!" ”
"The Hu people burned, killed, looted, did all kinds of evil, committed heinous crimes, and killed them for the hatred of their father-in-law, that is justified! Why can't you kill it? Li San's eyes widened, looking very incomprehensible.
"The Hu people are hateful, but after they are captured, they have lost the ability to harm others, but they are fish and meat on the board, how can they bear to kill those who have no ability to resist?" Li Yi patted the third brother on the shoulder and said.
"If we replace them with benevolence and righteousness, some of the Hu people will be influenced and fall under our command! And there are many Hu people, even if I resist them with the strength of a village, it is still a mantis arm blocking the car! The only way for us to survive and develop is to successfully use strategies such as co-optation and disintegration to strengthen our forces and weaken the enemy's forces! When he learned that Taiping Village had a feud with the Xianbei people, Zhang Ying fell into deep thought, how to save the people of Taiping Village, how to fight hundreds of thousands of people with thousands of people, this is indeed an extremely difficult problem.
Taking Taiping Village as the foundation, and then pulling the surrounding area over, is the long-term plan formulated by Li Yi and others, at this time before the Yellow Turban Uprising, there are still more than three years, as long as the development is carried out step by step, when the world is in chaos, Li Yi can form a strong combat team. Whether it is to help the Taiping army attack the Han Dynasty or help the imperial court to suppress the rebel army, they can gain a foothold in the world.
However, the blind actions of Wang Ren and Liu Ping completely disrupted Li Yi's plan, and he had to adapt to the situation and make adjustments quickly. There are several apprentices in Taiping Village, and they must not be abandoned. However, if you stay, you can't think of a good way to resist the Xianbei people for a while, so you can only take one step at a time, do the things in front of you well, and help the villagers in Taiping Village tide over the difficulties.
Seeing that Li Yi and Zhang Ying were both resolutely opposed to the killing of prisoners, Li San was silent, although he was a hundred unwilling in his heart, but thinking of Zhang Ying's majesty, how could he dare to say half a word!
"Hurry up, take me to meet the villagers, and be sure to arrive before swinging the butcher knife to stop this killing!" Seeing that Li San was still hesitating, Li Yi impatiently pulled him up and ran away.
Li Yi is a veritable Scud, Li San is young, and he can't run much slower, watching the two of them rush out of the village and disappear into the dense forest at the head of the village, Zhang Ying suddenly shouted: "Oh no, with the ability of the two of them, they can't stop the angry people, hurry up, it's too late!" Zhang Ying secretly complained, why did he relax when he returned to Taiping Village? Her heart was filled with remorse.
Yu Bing's heart also chuckled, she glanced at Zhang Ying, and saw that she looked anxious, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead and the tip of her nose. Since she met Zhang Ying, she has been able to deal with it calmly and calmly. Yu Bing realized the seriousness of the matter, and she unconsciously agreed: "Go quickly!" ”
But the two of them were still slow, their running speed was naturally not as good as the two men, and after running out of the village, Er Li had disappeared without a trace.
Facing many forest paths, which one should I take? The two women wandered.
