305 Guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines
"Report Li Tou'er, and a group of fugitives were found outside." An errand officer reported to Li Zhutou.
Li Zhutou waved his hand and said, "Let them in." ”
The officer cried and said, "They are empty-handed, and they have no food. ”
Li Zhutou said: "If you don't have food, you have to take it in, Lord Zhao won't ignore it." ”
The servants couldn't help but complain: "These people are really, when the adults asked them to evacuate, they didn't leave, they had to stay at home, guarding the food at home, and now it's okay, the food has also been robbed by the Xiwu people, and they escaped and shared other people's food to eat!" ”
Complaining to complaining, the servants still opened the mountain gate and let the fugitives outside in.
This is the Blue Mountain in the southwest of Lanfeng County, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhao Mochen took the people of the county to hide in several valleys here.
Yamaguchi built fortifications to block the attack of the Western Witch Army.
There have been a few times when a small group of Xiwu troops came to harass, but they didn't succeed, and the army of Xiwu didn't entangle any more, after all, Tianhong still has a large area of rich land waiting to be captured, and there is no need to fight here with a group of mountain people.
Most of the people who fled in were the people of Lanfeng County who refused to flee with Zhao Mochen at the beginning, and they almost lost their lives before fleeing when they encountered the army of the Western Witch Kingdom at home, and naturally they did not take away the food and property at home, and they became the trophies of the army of the Western Witch Kingdom.
A citizen cried out to see Lord Zhao.
The messenger had no choice but to bring him to Zhao Mochen, and the common man knelt down and kowtowed: "Lord Zhao, I really regret not evacuating with you in the first place!" I'm really blinded by lard, my family has a bumper harvest this year, and they have harvested a thousand catties of grain, which is cheaper than the Westinghouse army......"
The people wailed in pain.
Zhao Mochen pulled him up and said: "The matter has come to this, it's useless to cry, at least you escaped alive, many people even lost their lives." Come, take him down to rest. ”
When the people heard this, they immediately stopped howling and said, "Lord Zhao, I still have something to tell you." I saw the second cow in our village, he only had a human skin left, and he became a soldier of the army of the Western Witch Kingdom, chasing me and chopping! ”
In the past few days, Zhao Shuang, Zhao Mochen and others have analyzed that the human skin army of the Xiwu Kingdom is actually made of human skins sold by the Xiwu Kingdom from Tianhong Country in the past few years, which is really "taken from the people for the people", which is very ironic.
Some Tianhong people, in order to earn a few taels of silver, sold the human skins of people in their own country, but now they are reduced to the point of ruin of the country and their families.
"How do you recognize that it's the second cow from your village?" Zhao Mochen asked.
The people said: "There is a big black mole with a strange shape on Er Niu's face, and the big black mole on the face of that human-skin soldier is on Er Niu's face!" As he spoke, fear magnified in his eyes, and his body trembled, "My lord, did Erniu come back to ask for his life?" ”
Zhao Mochen asked rhetorically: "Why do you say that, do you know how Erniu died?" ”
“…… Be...... It was Erniu's uncle and aunt who killed him by mistake and sold his body. ”
Unexpectedly, a homicide case was involved, Zhao Mochen asked: "What about Erniu's uncle and aunt?" ”
"When I escaped, I saw Erniu carrying a knife to his uncle's house, and later on the way out, I didn't see his uncle and aunt's family."
Maybe there is really cause and effect in the dark that is pulling everything, Zhao Mochen sighed and said, "You go and rest." ”
After sending the people away, Li Zhutou came to report: "My lord, Miss Zhao, they are back. ”
Zhao Mochen hurriedly walked out to greet his daughter.
These days, Zhao Shuang took his apprentices to fight guerrilla warfare in Lanfeng County and the surrounding areas, and when he saw the lone soldiers of the Xiwu Kingdom and the Human Skin Army, he wiped them out on the spot, and if there was food, he would transport them back.
Now, a large part of the country has fallen, and the army of the Western Witch Kingdom has occupied a number of prefectures, including Pinglan Province.
Zhao Shuang: They are now considered guerrillas behind enemy lines.
