Chapter 677: Pursuit (5)
Bang!
Heavy thunder exploded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Silver snakes haunt the dark clouds, and the lightning flickers and flickers.
Outside the big tent, there was the sound of fighting, and it was already three o'clock.
Meng Kai pushed the wine table in front of him away, carried a pot of roasted spring wine, and waved his hand to disperse the generals in the big tent.
He leaned back on the bed, a wave of drunkenness welling up. But for some reason, I couldn't sleep, so I had to eat and drink one bite after another.
Flying south this time is also a last resort.
There is no way, the government's exploitation of naturalized barbarians is becoming more and more fierce, and Feiwu Barbarians can be self-sufficient, but the exploitation is ruthless, and it is also a little unsustainable. Especially in the past two years, the government has shown great interest in the gray falcons domesticated by the flying black barbarians, and every year they will be asked to contribute more than twenty gray falcons, which has overwhelmed many barbarians.
The Grey Falcon is a common falcon in the Privates Mountain, but there are not too many of them.
And the hardships of boiling eagles are impossible for outsiders to understand. Every year, for the sake of those gray falcons, Fei Wuman will kill and wound hundreds of people.
However, how could the government care?
Since last year, the number of falcons has plummeted.
Last year, they fought hard, but only twelve gray falcons were handed over, which made the government very dissatisfied and made their conscription even heavier.
And this year......
Meng Kai knew very well that it was impossible for those twenty gray falcons to be handed over.
Even in the tribe of the flying barbarians, there are only a dozen gray falcons, how can they satisfy the growing appetite of the government?
But if they can't hand it over this year, the government will definitely suppress them even more fiercely.
Meng Kai is already anxious about this.
Fortunately, at this time, a man named Gan Cheng came to Hemanbu.
It is said that this Gan Cheng has a very high status in the Hemanbu, and the Hao Chieftain of the Hemanbu is even more obedient to him. After Nagan Cheng heard about the situation of Fei Wuman, he invited Fei Wuman to move south. He told Meng Kai that Annan is vast and sparsely populated, and the mountains are stacked, which is the most suitable for them to survive. And there was no forced labor there, and most importantly, the Protectorate of Annam almost didn't care about them. Living there, they are as happy as the emperor of the soil, and no one will persecute them.
This also made Meng Kai's heart pound.
It's just that moving south is not a trivial matter.
More than 10,000 people went south, and the government would not approve of it in the first place.
So Gan Cheng told him that the government had oppressed them for so long, so they simply did a vote, messed up Jiannan Dao, and then took the opportunity to go south.
Gan Cheng said that he could help, and the barbarian department would also help, including Meng Shezhao.
"In Tang Gou's eyes, you and I are both barbarians.
No matter how faithful we try, they can't really accept us. Doesn't Tang Dog have a saying? Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Rather than stay here and be exploited by the Tang dog, you might as well let it go and go south.
When the time comes, there will be a lot of people to help, so why should you be afraid? “
Meng Kai is not the kind of person who is easy to get hot, and he has already passed that kind of age.
But he must admit that Gan Cheng's words moved his heart......
After much consideration, Meng Kai decided to move south. But before moving south, he had to settle an account with the government and get back all the oppression he had suffered over the years. As a result, there was also the action of Feiwu Barbarian raising the flag to rebel and attacking the city and plundering the land.
Overall, the operation worked well.
Gan Cheng was by his side, giving him advice, and it was not until he decided to ambush Li Qing that he set off to return to Heman.
In Gan Cheng's words, he was going back to prepare.
The biggest difficulty in moving south from Feiwuman was how to pass through the territory of Luzhou.
He barbarians will send troops to attack Luzhou and contain Luzhou soldiers and horses. When the time comes, he will join forces with Feiwuman, and retreat to Annan after a plunder in Luzhou.
In this regard, Meng Kai has nothing to do.
Everything went smoothly, Meng Kai captured Tongshan, transferred Li Qing, and then ambushed him.
Subsequently, Meng Kai led his troops south, first joined the people and horses of the private Rongshan headquarters, and then gathered the soldiers and horses of Feiwu County, counting the old and young women and children, there were 20,000 people, and they went straight to Bosa Mountain. As long as you climb over the Posa Mountain, it is Jinju.
And Meng Kai knows Jinzhou very well, and there are even local barbarians who contact him privately, and they will meet with each other when the time comes.
In short, this operation was generally a success.
It is estimated that in the next two days, the Heman Department will also send troops to Luzhou, and I believe it will be very smooth......
It stands to reason that since everything is going well, Meng Kai should be happy. But for some reason, he didn't feel relaxed, but instead had an inexplicable throbbing that lingered in his heart from time to time. Because of this, he couldn't sleep for a long time.
A jug of wine, and soon it will be eaten cleanly.
Meng Kai felt sleepy, so he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
It was only when he fell asleep that he suddenly heard a commotion outside the big tent.
There was a shout of killing from a distance, and it seemed that it was not far from the camp, which made Meng Kai suddenly wake up.
He turned over and went to the ground, raised his hand and picked up a big knife, ran out of the big tent barefoot, and shouted loudly: "What's the situation? ”
At this time, the originally quiet camp also became a pot of porridge.
After a long day of trekking, the Flying Crow Barbarians were already very hard. Many people have long been asleep, but they are awakened by the noise.
"King, it's an enemy attack!"
Enemy attack?
Meng Kai wiped the rain off his face, and the spirit was chilled, and the wine disappeared.
"Prepare for battle at once, prepare for battle."
As he spoke, he turned over and rode a horse, and shouted: "Everyone should not panic, follow me to meet the enemy, meet the enemy!" ”
Outside the gate of the camp, the barbarians were armed with swords and guns, vigilantly looking at the dark plains shrouded in rain.
When Meng Kai led the people to rush out of the gate, there was no trace of the enemy.
"Where is the enemy?"
"I don't know!"
"Then why did you shout about an enemy attack just now?"
"Back to the king's words, I did hear the sound of horses' hooves, and there was a shout of killing from afar......
"And now?"
A group of brutes looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, but no one spoke.
When Meng Kai heard this, he was also a little stunned!
"That is, you don't see the enemy?"
"This, it seems......
Meng Kai couldn't wait to hack the barbarian general in front of him to death with one sword...... Do you know that the old man slept lightly, and finally fell asleep, but was woken up by you!
He suppressed his anger, turned around and said sharply: "Send someone out immediately, search carefully within thirty miles, and don't let the enemy go." ”
"Yes!"
A group of scouts rushed into the dark plain.
About half an hour later, they came back one after another to report to Meng Kai.
Thunderstorms have become smaller.
They didn't find any traces of the enemy around, which also made Meng Kai breathe a sigh of relief.
"Look carefully, don't have any more problems."
Looking at the tired brute general, Meng Kai had the heart to scold, but in the end he held back, said a few words, and returned to the camp.
It's just that after such a fuss, the whole camp is in chaos.
Meng Kai had no choice but to take his relatives to patrol the camp, and after calming them down, he calmed everyone down.
When he returned to the Great Tent, it was past the end of the hour, and the hour was approaching.
At this time, Meng Kai was really sleepy, so he took off the armor on his body, wore only a sweatshirt, and fell asleep upside down......
The hustle and bustle of the camp has gradually regained its tranquility.
The rain has stopped!
The breeze blowing from the wilderness, with a bit of coolness, blows on the body, making people drowsy and sleepy......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A team of soldiers and horses appeared in the dark plain.
The leader was dressed in a black shirt, holding a black iron gun, and a divine horse stood on his shoulder.
Yang Shouwen raised his head to look, looked at the sky, and exhaled lightly.
"Dayu, keep an eye on it for me."
He patted Hai Dongqing's head, only to hear Da Yu make two soft sounds, and then spread his wings and soared into the air.
Yang Shouwen, on the other hand, continued to stare at the Feiwu Barbarian camp in the distance, and asked without looking back after a long time: "Now, what time is it?" “
"Ah Lang, it's past three o'clock."
When Yang Shouwen heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
He said softly: "It seems that these barbarians should be tired and tired after tossing all night, and they probably don't have any vigilance." “
"Ah Lang, that's it, I'm afraid it's hard for us to stop them."
Tu Shanlong said in a low voice, with a trace of tension between his eyebrows.
But Yang Shouwen smiled and said, "I should say that I want to stop them?" “
"That ......"
"The big cat must have taken people around now, waiting for us in Posa Mountain.
And our task is not to stop them, but to hold them back as much as possible, for a while, even for a while. “
With that, he took a deep breath.
"So next, our goal is not to kill as many people as possible, but to destroy as many people as possible.
Jasmine, are you ready? “
"Ah Lang, don't worry, Jasmine is already full!"
At first glance, Yang Jasmine's answer was that the bull's head was not the horse's mouth, which made the two brothers Tu Shanlong and Tu Shanbao feel inexplicably confused.
But Yang Shouwen knew that Yang Jasmine's answer meant: Ready!
For Jasmine Yang, being full is ready.
Since this is the case, Yang Shouwen urged his crotch to dismount, and said in a deep voice: "Pass my orders, move forward slowly, everything depends on my actions." (To be continued.) )
