Chapter 529: "The Siege"
Seeing that the bamboo arrows and stone bullets could no longer pose a great threat to the enemy troops who were clearing the battlefield, Gao Qingshan tried the direction of the wind, so he asked someone to light the poisonous smoke bombs mixed with spicy herbs and throw them out one by one, and the smoke soon filled the entire hillside.
Because there are many tribulus terrestris on the hillside, the officers and soldiers in charge of cleaning up must be careful of the tribulus terrestris, so they move slowly, and at the same time they have to set up large shields and small shields to resist spears, cold arrows and flying stones.
Judging from this situation, when they cleared this hillside to be used as a battlefield, they were afraid that it would be dark, and by that time, I don't know how many of them would be incapacitated by the poisonous smoke.
The people on the stockade had never tried to fight such a cheap battle, and although the enemy would definitely attack the bottom of the hill sooner or later, the earth weapons and methods they used could cause such a big trouble to the enemy without injuring one of their own people, which greatly increased their confidence.
Now they only use long-range weapons to attack and harass the enemy, but they have toiled for a day and a half of the night, and they have armed the whole cottage, and when the enemy attacks the bottom of the village, they will give the enemy a taste of more powerful things.
The barbarians who had fled into the stockade were settled, and the wounded were treated and bandaged. Their patriarch was a woman in her early forties, with a muscular figure like a man in the prime of life.
Xun'er asked her in barbarian about what happened, and said to Yang Fan: "Wuman and I, Baiman, joined forces to fight against the officers and soldiers, their original place of residence was in the forest by the river, because the tribe was too small, and it was adjacent to a tribe of Yunxuan, they were worried that they would be attacked, and they wanted to migrate at night and join a larger tribe, but they passed here early in the morning and happened to bump into the officers and soldiers who attacked the cottage. ”
The female chief saluted Yang Fan and said something in a mumbled manner. He took off from his neck a necklace made of white animal teeth. Looking at Yang Fan with a smile.
Kaoru smiled, "She said that she admires your courage and appreciates your selfless help to their tribe even more. As the ghost master of the Barbarian tribe, she gave you this string of wolf tooth necklaces, and the thirteen mountains of Yaozhou will regard you as their most haode friend from now on! ”
After Xun'er finished speaking, she explained: "The ghost lord is the meaning of the leader. Yang Fan didn't quite understand the meaning of this beast bone wolf tooth necklace. He didn't plan to be a half-savage in the jungle in the future, so he just took this necklace as an ordinary gift and took it with both hands with a smile.
Seeing that he had taken Xiang Lian, the chief of the tree man looked very happy, and said a few more words to Xun'er, who nodded. replied very seriously, then pulled Yang Fan, motioned for him to walk to the wall together, and said to Yang Fan: "She said that although their weapons are simple, their archery skills are very good. Now with our selfless help, she will send all her warriors to defend the cottage with us. I agreed. ”
The two walked up to the wall. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the Yaozhou officers and soldiers who were about to commit the crime in the billowing smoke, Xun'er said to Yang Fan with her eyebrows fluttering: "Hey! Can't tell. These methods of yours work so well! ”
Yang Fan looked intently at the bottom of the mountain, but there was no relaxed expression on his face, he observed the enemy's situation while saying: "Judging from their weapons and equipment, the enemy who came to attack should be the native soldiers of Yaozhou. Huang Jingrong did not send messengers to see me, nor did he dare to send officers and soldiers from Rongzhou, Wangzhou and other places to help, it seems that he is determined to let me die here. ”
"I'll protect you!"
"Huh?"
Yang Fan glanced at her in surprise, Xun'er stuck out her tongue, and said a little embarrassedly: "I mean, after our village is rebuilt under your guidance, it is not easy for them to attack it, as long as we can survive for two days, my father's reinforcements can arrive, and they can't help you." ”
Yang Fan smiled, looked down the mountain again, and muttered, "I hope so." ”
Xun'er saw that Yang Fan's sideburns were covered with beads of sweat, so she took out a sweat towel from her waist without thinking about it, stood on tiptoe, and gently wiped it off for him, and her movements were extremely natural. Yang Fan's sideburns had not yet been touched, and he smelled a faint fragrance, which seemed to have been smelled on his Wan'er and Xiaoman's bodies, which was a kind of body fragrance of his daughter's family.
Immediately, the sweat towel gently wiped his sideburns, Yang Fan glanced at her unexpectedly, and Xun'er smiled shyly at him, her white and red face was as gorgeous as a blooming camellia.
The bamboo stone thrower is really easy to break, and it will damage two of them after a while, but this thing is also simple to make, and after pulling two large green bamboos, it can be used again immediately. Gao Qingshan just asked someone to replace the two planes, and when he turned around, he happened to see this scene on the wall.
A villager gathered up next to him and whispered: "Leader of the village, I heard from the people who came with Miss Xun'er that Lord Tusi has decided to marry Miss Xun'er to the big ghost lord of Orizhu." ”
Gao Qingshan glared at him fiercely and reprimanded, "Just you have long eyes?" Just you have ears? I see you are idle, do things! ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the jungle, countless people and horses are covered by lush trees, the jungle is so vast that I don't know how big it is, for these barbarian warriors who have grown up on this land for generations, there are many places in the depths of the dense forest that they are completely unfamiliar with and have never set foot in, and this is the first time they have gone deep into such a place.
Snakes, insects, ants, and rats sting in the middle of it, and even the most effective drugs can't completely avoid their bites. The local people will use various methods to protect themselves, and since they were young, they have been bitten by mosquitoes on the water and soil in this area, and they have long adapted to their toxicity, so they can still live in this jungle.
If you change the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court, as long as you stay in this jungle for two days, you will have to reduce a large number of non-combat personnel and collapse without a fight, which is the most haode protection given by God to humans living in the jungle.
But even if they were able to survive here, the difficulties of life can be imagined. There was too little to eat, not enough to supply so many people, and it was difficult for the toast master and the head people to adapt to the harsh environment here.
In an open field carved out of the depths of the jungle, cow dung, horse dung and mosquito repellent herbs are constantly burning, and the smell of smoke disperses snakes, rats, mosquitoes and flies. The smell is not good, but at least it makes the environment much cleaner.
Under the tent that emitted a faint smell of smoke, the two toasts of Xun Qi and Meng Zhezhu and seven or eight adults sat there quietly. The atmosphere in the tent was a little dreary, and after listening to the person who had come from Hebai Village to ask for help, Kaoru waved his hand silently and let him retreat.
Kaoru breathed a long sigh of relief, pressed his hands on his knees, looked at the somewhat depressed leaders, and then cast an inquiring glance at Meng Zhezhu, and said: "Wen Hao attacked Hebai Village, it seems that with the help of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, he is unwilling to take possession of all our territory and people. ”
Meng Zhezhu's expression was a little cloudy, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "We can't drag it out in the jungle for too long, everyone eats wild vegetables, picks wild fruits, hunts wild beasts, and even eats all the mice, and if we continue to consume it, we will collapse without a fight." But when they return to the village, no one of them can afford to support so many soldiers and horses, unless they are scattered, but in that case, they will be broken down individually. ”
A big-headed man said indignantly: "Originally, we refused to return to the village, and our biggest concern was that we were afraid that we would give them the truth to attack our village and hurt our family. ”
Another big man said: "The worst thing is that our soldiers are all strong laborers in the stockade, and if the battle is fought for too long, it will affect the autumn harvest and animal husbandry, and our people will not be able to live, and the morale of the army will inevitably be weakened." Now that they are pressing forward, we have no way to retreat. ”
A big-headed man next to him hesitated for a moment and hesitated, "Perhaps...... Can we make peace with them? If we hand over all the rogue people Huang Jingrong wants to him, he will have no excuse to do it to us, and we don't have to take the lives of our entire clan for those rogues. ”
The other leader was also a little moved, and whispered: "Yes, isn't there a Qincha in the Hebai Village?" Perhaps through him, we can have a good talk with the imperial court. ”
Long Fei, the second housekeeper of the Xun Period, immediately glared at them viciously and said, "That Qincha is alone, even he himself is trapped on the mountain, and he has a fart to discuss with him!" ”
Long Fei's daughter-in-law is a liuren, and now she is pregnant, and she is about to give birth to a good grandson, let him hand over someone? He didn't even die.
Xun Qi didn't seem to hear this suggestion, he still stared at Meng Zhezhu, and said in a deep voice: "Since you and I are an alliance, the old man wants to know what the Orizhu Toast is planning?" ”
Meng Zhezhu said: "I really thought that the 100,000 troops of the imperial court had been killed in Yaozhou, and our army was scattered and easy to be annihilated, so I had to retreat in a hurry and gather the soldiers and horses, but I didn't want Huang Jingrong to bluff, the Great Zhou army that went to the aid was only more than 10,000 people, and we had 70,000 warriors, which was enough to deal with."
However, there will definitely be reinforcements from the imperial court, if we want to fight, we must fight quickly, I think, we should kill back the horse pistol and trap Yaozhou City again! But we can't annihilate the imperial court's reinforcements, that will completely anger the imperial court, and there will be no room for maneuver. Yaozhou City wants to surround three and lack one, force it to retreat, and then, we will go straight to Wen Hao's lair.
Only when Wen Hao and Yun Xuan are killed and there is no way to fight back, can Yaozhou be peaceful, and only then will it be possible to negotiate! As for Wen Hao and Yun Xuan's people, no matter how many we kill, the imperial court won't care. I'm afraid they still want us to kill each other, hum! Wen Hao and Yun Xuan, the two idiots, are pulling the tiger's tail as a savior! ”
Xun Qi said in a deep voice: "Then what about Hebai Village?" My daughter, your bride, is still there! ”
P: In the early morning, I sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets!
