Chapter 1272 The Ancient Territory Falls and the Mountains Cross the Siege
Fei Zhan came from Tianmu Mountain with 30,000 Shanyue, not all of the Shanyue soldiers were barbarians, that was a misunderstanding, the so-called Shanyue had Han people who moved into the mountains to live in various periods of history, and there were also wanted thieves hiding in the mountains, of course, there must be barbarians among them.
However, compared with the people who moved from outside the mountains, there must be a gap in knowledge, and over time, most of the people who are in charge of the mountains are not pure-blooded barbarians, but outsiders who migrated in from outside the mountains, these people are either out of revenge, or they are originally restless masters, so they lead these mountain people, constantly out of the mountains to plunder.
On the one hand, the low cost of plundering made these mountain people taste the sweetness and couldn't stop, on the other hand, of course, there were also far-sighted people among them, knowing that with the more cultivated land outside the mountains, the population of the Han people would increase, and then the Han people would ask for land from the mountains to produce, and then the Shanyue people would have no room to live, so it was necessary to fight.
In fact, the so-called water thieves are fishermen most of the time, and even they have their own villages and reproduce in the lake, but it is actually very difficult to live by fishing alone, not to mention raising children, so they have to use some side jobs to make up for their families, and this side business is robbery.
Ordinary people are actually easy to control sometimes, Chen Ce is actually just scaring these fools, saying that they can't be cleaned up for a day as thieves for a lifetime, so they must follow themselves, and anyone who is unwilling. Don't use Chen Ce to do it, the government and strangers around Taihu Lake are personally plotting and blocking? p> So. More than 10,000 people were coerced by Chen Ce, as for Chen Ce, it was just to give Shanyue a hand, and by the way, some food, in Chen Ce's opinion, the 2,000 people of the official army in his hometown were too few, and he saw 30,000 Shanyue coming over the mountain. He will definitely retreat without a fight, and he can't care what benefits Shanyue will get from entering the city, and his target is the rice that is about to ripen in the fields outside the city. Therefore his men not only carry swords and shields. He also carried sickles and sacks, and after all, he came to grab food.
However, what made Chen Ce strange was when he appeared outside the old city with his people. It seems that the people of Yamagoe have not yet arrived. And the lifeless city in the old city is obviously an empty city.
Chen Ce was puzzled, so he sent a few nimble people into the city to find out.
"King, King 1
"How? Are there any officers and soldiers in the city? ”
"No, my lord! Not only did the officers and soldiers, but neither did the people, and none of the poor rats were to be seen.1
"How so?"
"We also went into some houses and saw that the guys in there were still everything. It should be the people who evacuated in a hurry, King 1
"Guy, what do you mean you have money?"
"That's right! King. Let's hurry into the city, just now at the head of the city, I seem to see the shadow of the Shanyue people. ”
"Wait, find out! Send more people to make sure there are no traps1
"No1
The spies' eyes were good, it was a part of the Shanyue people who came down from the southwest mountain, and the reason why the Shanyue people arrived so slowly was naturally because they were restrained by Fang Zhiwen.
Fang Zhiwen did not harass the Shanyue people excessively, but from time to time sent a small force to appear around the Shanyue people, shooting some Shanyue people, and when the Shanyue people began to fight back, they quickly slipped away, at the beginning the Shanyue people were still suspicious, for fear that there would be a large number of officers and soldiers in ambush, but seeing that every time the officers and soldiers took advantage of a little advantage and ran, the spirit of the Shanyue people became higher and higher, and their courage became bigger and bigger.
Every time they found that there were officers and soldiers, the Shanyue people shouted and chased after them, and even just a scout team of dozens of people dared to take the initiative to pursue the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers no matter who came to chase, they all turned around and ran, and the speed was more swift than the Shanyue people who were used to drilling the forest, and the Shanyue people were annoyed, and they were depressed in their hearts about their specialties being humiliated by the enemy, but every time they loudly laughed at the officers and soldiers for being as timid as mice.
Although the combat effectiveness of the official army is very limited, and the courage of the official army is not much greater than that of rats, but the reality of the official army has affected the speed of the Shanyue people's advance, and when the Shanyue people finally came out of the mountain, they saw the water thieves in the east running towards the city from a distance.
Could it be that the water thieves have taken down the city? Have not all the spoils of this city gone to the water thieves!?
The Shanyue people stopped doing it, and even ignored the official cavalry that appeared in the distance, and rushed directly to the old city in one go.
The Shanyue and the water thieves meet each other in the city, but they don't have the slightest excitement of the master, only vigilance and hatred, these people will break out over a wooden barrel, and swing their knives at each other for a can of pickles!
Soon the small leaders of the two sides appeared, put an end to the pointless fighting, and divided the city into two parts according to the area under their actual control, and each looted its own part.
Originally, these water thieves were satisfied with taking away the furniture and supplies in the house, but soon, they found that the Shanyue people were more ruthless, and even the nails in the house were cut off and taken away, wood and stone, they wanted everything, as soon as they saw this situation, the water thieves were not to be outdone, so a city demolition competition began.
When a large number of the main force of the mountains came to the old city, this gang of water thieves was planning to tear down the city gate, and the leader of the mountain, Fei Zhan, was almost stunned at a glance, what are these people doing, although they are here to rob, but now even the wood and stone have to be transported away, can this be transported away? Could it be that the official army is really an ornament!
"O king, we have found the hiding place of the people1
"What? Where is it? ”
Fei Zhan is more interested in the people, the water thieves may not have a population demand, but Fei Zhan has, of course, he does not want to stuff more people in the mountains, but needs women, and besides, other people can be sold to the aliens in the south, which is also a big fortune!
"It's on a hill southeast of the city.1
"Order everyone to stop looting, and assemble 1
"No1
Fei Zhan took the men and horses out of the city, Chen Ce didn't care about this, but was busy building a camp to prepare for the night, he knew what Fei Zhan was going to do, in fact, he had already discovered the hiding place of those people, but he was not interested in the people, and he didn't want to waste his life to attack the very treacherous mountain beam, he just wanted to have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow he would go out of the city to harvest all the grain in the field, and then go home.
The people of Shanyue finally gathered, and then left the city in a sparse procession, and soon gathered under the mountain beam.
"Find someone who is agile, start from the mountain beam and the cliff at the same time, don't think that you can hide there and be safe, no matter how high the cliff is, we can climb it."
"No1
The Shanyue people gathered at the foot of the mountain, and He Qi, who was in charge of the guard, had naturally found out, and he informed Zhu Huan of the situation while arranging defensive measures, in fact, these elite warriors didn't need too much instructions from him, as long as he made his thoughts clear.
The entrance to the hesitating cave was narrow, and He Qi asked the warriors to line up, the person in front was responsible for shooting, and when he was done, he handed back the heavy crossbow that was shot in the air, the person in the middle was responsible for passing, and the person behind was responsible for winding, and those who had more than sixty or seventy levels of archery were free to attack with bows and arrows.
Although the number of these strong soldiers is small, the hit rate and lethality are amazingly strong, and the terrain is steep, once the arrow is not injured, but falling down the mountain beam or cliff, it is still a dead end.
The first attack on the Shanyue people quickly threw down two or three hundred corpses, and Fei Zhan frowned when he saw it.
"Stop, wait until it's dark, wait until it's dark and go up again1
When the battle stopped, He Qi felt a little nervous, but seeing the corpses lying under the cliff, He Qi's heart was full of pride.
When it gets dark, the Shanyue people start to act again, these Shanyue people are bold enough, and the ability to climb the mountain is really powerful, but the strange thing is that the officers and soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave are also very powerful, because it is dark, they can't see how they do it, anyway, they heard the screams of their own people and the muffled sound of falling off the cliff, and after disturbing for half an hour, the two or three hundred people sent up this time seemed to have unfortunately died.
Fei Zhan was a little hairy, and at the same time he was very angry and unwilling in his heart!
"Go up again, spread out, don't stop, they can still keep watch all night?"
However, the facts told Fei Zhan that those officers and soldiers were really guarding all night, this night, Fei Zhan threw nearly a thousand people under the cliff, and when it was dawn, Zhu Huan and He Qi looked down, and the corpses were covered below, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.
Fei Zhan, who had been making a fuss all night, finally understood that it was impossible to attack here, and he might only have to defend it, how long could he hide in this cave in the middle of the mountain? Sooner or later, you'll always come down, or try to get a giant crossbow.
Fei Zhan left some people to guard this mountain road, and took people back to Dao City, but found that Chen Ce's people were collecting food outside the city, and farther away, there were cavalry of the official army wandering around, but they just watched from a distance and did not dare to step forward to interfere, Fei Zhan felt very weird, but he didn't interfere with Chen Ce's collection of food, no matter how much he collected, he had to automatically and consciously hand over half of it anyway, otherwise Fei Zhan would not be finished with him!
After rummaging through the city, Fei Zhan was stunned that he didn't find a giant crossbow or trebuchet, and later found Chen Ce, he had carpenters and blacksmiths under him, who could build simple trebuchets, and in the evening, Fei Zhan happily led people to push a few trebuchets and giant crossbows to appear under the mountain beams, and he also shouted like above, but obviously this kind of psychological warfare was completely useless.
Fei Zhan triumphantly set up the trebuchet and the giant crossbow, and then waved his hand in high spirits.
As a result, the giant crossbow of the boulder shot out could not reach the cave at all, and poor Fei Zhan naturally did not know that when people designed this cave, they had accurately calculated the range of the trebuchet and the giant crossbow, and the places where these large equipment could be erected could not reach the entrance of the cave.
The soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave stood at the entrance of the cave and laughed, laughing so much that Fei Zhan's face was blue and white, and Fei Zhan, who had lost his face, was furious, so he tried all kinds of methods, smoke and fire, from top to bottom, poisonous insects and poisonous ants, etc., but as a result, the officers and soldiers guarded the small cave entrance, and when they saw the moves, Fei Zhan got nothing except for constantly harvesting the corpses of his own people.
After tossing and turning like this for two days, it wasn't until Chen Ce said that the grain had been collected and he was about to leave, and Fei Zhan came back to his senses. To be continued......
