The Tianduan Mountain Range is very long, it stretches almost seven-eight-tenths of the north of the Jin Kingdom, and at the same time, it is also very large, with layers of mountains stacked on top of each other, without too much steep and overlapping peaks, but showing a kind of vastness similar to the East China Sea.

The army marched for a day, and under the command of Xiong Lie, a guide, set up camp on a flat part of a mountain pass.

Of the three settlements that we are going to conquer on this trip, the nearest one is more than 20 miles away from here, and it is a stockade with a population of thousands, and the men who can fight are estimated to be nearly 2,000.

In the military tent, Zheng Fan nibbled on the roasted pheasant legs.

When the army enters the mountains, those who have the ability will hunt easily, even if the military rations are sufficient, it is good to fight tooth sacrifices.

Both the barbarian soldiers and the Jin soldiers are very good at hunting, and they all spread out after setting up camp, but they don't know how much prey they want to waste, and they all rush to give it to Zheng Fan after they come back.

The blind man sat opposite Zheng Fan, nibbling on chicken wings, and said at the same time:

"Lord, in fact, this savage is familiar with the savage and the raw savage."

"Is it the meaning of civilized and uncivilized?" Zheng Fan asked.

"The Lord is wise, that's what it means, all those who have accepted the influence of the Jin civilization and have trade with the Jin land, there are some people in the settlement who can speak the Xia language, and these are called familiar savages.

The three settlements that Xiong Lie hooked up with before, that is, the three settlements we are going to conquer this time, belong to the familiar savage settlements.

They are basically located on the periphery of the Tianduan Mountain Range, next to the land of the Three Jins, because they know the rules, so both the Helian family and the Situ family will open up to these familiar savages, and the Jin army will let them go when they enter the mountains to encircle and suppress, and they will be treated as the Jin people settlement under their own command.

These familiar savage settlements, relying on the relationship of commerce and trade, food and iron tools, etc., are more than better than the relatives of the savages in the deep mountains and the Tianduan Mountain Range, so they often take advantage of this advantage to swallow and capture the savages.

Part of it is to supplement its own population, and at the same time, it will also carry out human trafficking to the outside world, and there has always been a savage slave trade in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and the contribution made by the familiar savages is greater than that of the Jin people. ”

"It's a luxury, and it also traffics people." Zheng Fan smiled, picked up the handkerchief and began to wipe his hands.

"Or because this side of the Tianduan Mountain Range and the side close to here are not suitable for agricultural development because of the climate, so it is useless to have too many serfs."

"Well, we'll still keep it, it just so happens that those workshops also need manpower."

The blind man nodded, "My subordinates also think so, many times, things like gold and silver will be useless. ”

At this time, a guard outside the door came in and reported:

"My lord, the bald patriarch asks to see you."

"Let him in."

Soon, the bald heir walked into the tent, knelt down directly and said:

"The bald hair is inherited to the adults, and Mr. North is greeting."

"Get up, bald chief, have you eaten?"

"It's been dinner, sir."

"So, what's the matter?"

"My lord, I saw General Liang quietly leaving the village with more than 3,000 soldiers."

"Huh?" Zheng Fan hesitated lightly.

The bald heir immediately lowered his head and said sincerely:

"Please also ask the adults to forgive their sins, the villain does not intend to have insight into the direction of the army, but ........."

"What is there to blame for this, you are a lieutenant colonel in our army, if you really be blind and deaf in the military village, this is a sin.

Besides, 3,000 people are out of the village, and it is difficult for the people in the village not to notice it. ”

"Yes, my lord, the villain dares to ask, where is General Liang's team?"

"This, it's not very convenient to tell you." Zheng Fan said.

Hearing this, the bald heir gritted his teeth and said:

"My lord, Xiong Lie is gone, is it Xiong Liejin who said that he knows a small path and can secretly attack the savage village on the opposite mountain?"

"Hmm, you know quite a bit, guess?"

"If you go back to your words, it's not a guess, but Xiong Lie had a hint to the villain last night."

"Hint, hint at what?"

"He said that the Yan people are much more powerful than he imagined, after compiling the people's book, what do you mean as the patriarch?"

"He's right."

"............" baldness inheritance.

Yan is also carrying out a large-scale compilation of people's records, and originally more than half of the country's population was "non-existent".

The population was hidden by the local clans, which also led to the fact that sometimes the magistrates had to sit down and discuss with the local clan if they wanted to do something, levy labor or something.

And this kind of policy of thoroughly clearing the land and incorporating the population can be said to be the lifeblood of digging up the local tyrants.

"Baldness inheritance."

"The villain is here."

"Don't call yourself a villain in the future, call yourself the last general."

"Yes, the last general."

"You are a smart person, and the cleverness of a smart man is that he knows what a sesame seed is and what a watermelon is, and I am very happy that you can take the initiative to report this matter now."

"The bald heir swears allegiance to the Lord and the Great Yan!"

"Hmm."

"But my lord, Xiong Lie has a problem, he is by no means willing to lead the way this time, and even he was bullied back by the savage settlement, in the eyes of the last general, he is also disguised.

Therefore, the last general implored the lord to order General Liang to be called back, otherwise it might be an ambush of the savages, and Xiong Lie should collude with the savages. ”

Zheng Fan shook his head and said:

"It's too late."

"That ........."

The bald heir didn't know what to say, he thought that his suggestions would be valued and rewarded, but the attitude of the city guard and the military advisor in front of him was extremely ambiguous, as if it was not the same thing at all.

Could it be that they really think that the Yan Army is an invincible existence?

At this moment, there was a sudden shouting outside, like the cry of a beast and a bird.

Zheng Fan and the blind man glanced at each other, smiled together, got up and walked out of the military tent, and the bald hair inherited from behind.

The military village is set up on the flat part of the mountain pass, and standing here you can see the patches of torches on the surrounding hillside, accompanied by the sound of shouts, God knows how many savages are ambushed around it.

The savages are going to take advantage of the fact that when the Yan army leaves the camp and the military village is empty, they will directly attack the camp.

At this time, in the camp, there were only the bald tribe soldiers and some barbarian soldiers, adding up to more than 1,000 people.

The bald heir swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect the wild man to come directly to attack the military village!

"My lord, looking at this battle, at least the adult savages of the three settlements have come, and the number may not be less than five thousand!"

This is still a conservative estimate, the savages are fierce, although the combat effectiveness and combat quality are not comparable with the barbarians, but where the general natural conditions and living conditions are harsh, often women can really hold up half the sky, and the teenagers and women in the clan can also afford to hold a knife and bend the bow, if it is really completely mobilized to pull out the family foundation, the seven thousand savages can't fight.

Zheng Fan was very calm, waved his hand, and Zuo Jiqian and Ding Hao, who were wearing armor, walked over.

"See your lord!"

"See the master!"

"Bald patriarch, the soldiers under your command will be under the command of the two of them, this stockade is built quite well, and for a while, the savages will not be able to come in."

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

The bald heir hesitated a little, but gritted his teeth and responded, and followed Zuo Jiqian and Ding Hao down to rectify the soldiers and horses, although he was still a little foggy now, but he knew that since he got on a ship, he would easily stop going to sea.

Zheng Fan looked at the blind man and said:

"You say, should I move a chair over and lie down?"

The blind man added, "A goose feather fan is also needed." ”

"Well, there has to be a good pot of tea, you play the erhu next to you, and I'll hum a song again."

"When it's over, I have to add: The children break the enemy."

Zheng Fan's eyes lit up and said, "Exquisite." ”

"But, Lord, arrows don't have long eyes."

"Well, you're right."

"The Lord is wise."

The black light is blinding, and it is on the front line again, not when it is pretending.

"Yo yo !!!!!!!"

A long howl sounded,

Immediately afterward, echoes were heard on the hillsides on all sides.

This was supposed to be a military order, and immediately, the torches on the hillside began to move rapidly downward and jump.

"It's also interesting, there are a lot of savages, in this extreme environment, it seems that there is also a lot of strength, why has it been used as a machine by the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom for hundreds of years?"

When the blind man heard this, he explained with a smile:

"Lord, at the earliest beginning, the wild man is actually the master of the land of the Three Jins, and the Yu clan was ordered by the Great Summer Son to open up the Three Jin Dynasty, which can be regarded as forcibly driving the wild people out of the land of the Three Jins, and can only run to the middle of the Tiandu Mountains and the snowfields further north of the Tiandu Mountain Range.

Although they are now savages, they actually created civilization earlier, but they were forcibly cut off by the Jin people.

It may seem easier for ordinary people to make a comeback after a successful person falls, but this is often not the case, in fact, it is more difficult.

Because your mentality is wrong, you can't be as down-to-earth as you are barefoot, and the savages are almost like this, one settlement after another, one head of the other, whoever counts up is the noble inheritance of which family, and they are not convinced by each other, and they have been reduced to a plate of scattered sand.

In addition, although they are collectively called savages, they are actually divided into dozens of specific 'nationalities' internally, and it is really simple for the Jin people to clean them up. ”

"It turns out that there are still these Daodao, I thought it was just because of the lack of armor and equipment."

"They are okay, equipped with armor and ordnance, but there are still some of them, after all, they are familiar savages, and it is impossible for them to really live by drinking blood.

However, in the current situation, the three settlements are young and strong, and it is great to be able to make such a big battle, and these three familiar savage settlements have gradually faded away from the primitive tribal atmosphere with the development of trade over the years, in fact, they are more like three city lords, who already know how to watch and help each other. ”

"In this, Xiong Lie's lobbying should also account for a lot of factors, right?"

"That's nature, this Xiong Lie is also a character, and he also has some brains.

However, the lord, according to his subordinates, the savages did not dare to really kill the Yan people, they knew that the Yan people were not easy to mess with, but the three requirements that the lord had made to them before, the bald inheritance was acceptable, because the bald inheritance had no way out, but the leaders of the wild people did not want to do this.

They probably want to hurt us once through this experience, even if the Lord is captured this time, they will be courteous, and send some gifts to repair the relationship, and continue to do business with each other. ”

"You're too rational, I still prefer to be emotional."

"What the Lord said is that the side of the couch will not allow others to sleep peacefully, Dacheng Kingdom and Dayan Kingdom are too heavy to push, but the wild people here, don't think about sleeping well."

The most important thing is that the best way of primitive accumulation is not to bury oneself in farming, but to plunder, and you must have someone by your side who you can beat and move, right?

The savages had already rushed down and gathered in the camp from all directions, thanks to Zheng Fan's good habit of fighting, which stemmed from his lack of confidence in his own military command level.

He didn't know any whimsical ideas, but at least he knew that it was always good to make fewer mistakes.

After all, this work is not difficult, and all that is needed is the word "attention".

How deep the fence of the village is into the soil, how many zhang of the trench in front of the wall, how many digging, how much the sharp bamboo pieces in the pit are buried, the distance of the tunnel gate and the antler obstacles behind the wall, as long as the lord will pay attention to it, and inspect it over and over again, the soldiers are not lazy, and they can always be properly arranged.

At present, the outer defense of this military village has made this group of savages suffer a lot, and the screams are coming and going, plus the defenders in the military village are shooting arrows and obstructing the outside, which greatly hinders the momentum of the savages.

And the unorganized side of the savages is revealed, often a breakthrough has been formed in one place, but other directions have not received the news to converge here, but continue to gnaw hard bones.

The team that broke through didn't even think about picking up the friendly troops, but plunged into it in a hurry, and was soon beaten back.

This made the effect of the fortifications much better than expected, and delayed for enough time.

"Recycling!"

"Close!"

After waiting for the savages to begin to clear the outer obstacles and fences, Zuo Jiqian and Ding Hao ordered the soldiers around them to retreat almost at the same time, directly abandoning the periphery and turning to the core area with Zheng Fan's military tent as the center to truly block the attack.

The crossbowmen were included, the heavily armored ones were outside, and the bald heir personally obeyed the command as a small soldier, leading his clansmen to a counter-charge against the dozens of savages who had just rushed over in one direction, directly cutting down the wave of savages, and then immediately returning to the ranks.

"It's a good bald succession." Zheng Fan commented.

"With the assets of a hero, since ancient times, there are heroes hidden in the recklessness, just to see if there is an east wind to help him take advantage of the situation." The blind man said.

Zheng Fan nodded, the long knife weighed a few times in his hand, his eyes looked around, the wild men who rushed over in several directions were repulsed, and finally, they finally came to their senses, stopped their enthusiasm, and began to encircle first, and then besiege in all directions.

The costumes on these savages are very strange, some of them are no different from the Jin people, and some of them are just wearing animal skins, which has a sense of a mixture of civilization and barbarism.

In the night, you can still hear the shouts of many leaders, restraining their subordinates.

Honestly, this is an army, but it looks like a group of people running a messy flock.

At this moment, Zheng Fan finally understood why the Jin people were able to form an overwhelming advantage over the savages, and the two sides were almost an era apart in terms of military level and concept.

"The Lord can't help it?" The blind man asked.

"In the end, I just got promoted, and I want to try it."

It's like just getting a new toy and can't help but want to show off to your friends.

"Lord, it's not that his subordinates are talkative, right now, it's not time for the Lord to go into battle, so wait."

"If you wait any longer, it will become a tailwind battle, always grabbing people's heads with the wind, and after grabbing it for a long time, I don't think it's much fun."

"Lord, there is an inner taste."

Zheng Fan smiled and put away the knife,

"Really?"

………

"Third Master, why did you stop for so long?" Xiong Lie looked back with some curiosity, and found that only Xue San was left behind him, and the rest of the people were gone.

Ahead was a canyon through which you could reach the top of the wild settlement, and you could swoop down from behind.

"Aren't you going to get started, you have to rest." Xue San responded, "The soldiers have been on the road for a day, and they have been drilling the mountain nest for so long, so they have to change their breath to have the strength to fight." ”

Xiong Lie nodded and said, "That's the reason." ”

Then, Xiong Lie sat down on the ground and began to chew dry food and drink water.

Xue San was the same, sitting on the ground eating and drinking.

About half an hour later, Xiong Lie looked at the short Xue San and said with a smile:

"I know what you're capable of."

"Yo, don't call the third master?"

"What are you shouting, I know you, you're good at tracking."

Xue San nodded and said:

"I know you know I'm good at tracking."

Xiong Lie was stunned for a moment and continued:

"I know you followed me into the mountains the day before yesterday."

Xue San nodded again and said:

"I know you know I followed you into the mountains the day before yesterday."

"I deliberately let you follow!"

"I also deliberately let you know that I deliberately followed you."

Xiong Lie's brain was a little dizzy,

But he immediately said:

"I know you don't trust me!"

"We let you know you know we don't trust you."

"Ahem........."

Xiong Lie coughed twice, took two sips of water, and sneered:

"Don't think I don't know where the thousands of soldiers and horses you came up with have gone, they have gone to the high ground on both sides of the canyon in batches to counter the ambush, right?"

Xue San looked at the smug Xiong Lie,

Shaking his head,

Road:

"We know that there are no ambushes on the high slopes on either side of the canyon."

"That'...... What about you guys? ”

"Oh, they're all going back, come out at night to practice, they've been back to the camp a long time ago, they should be about to arrive at the military village, and you're left here."

"............" Xiong Lie.

It's a set of a set.

Xue San yawned,

Road:

"Boy, play tricks, you're looking for the wrong person."

Why were the demon kings kneaded before?

Because they themselves are too weak, their forces are weak, their personal strength is not enough, and the level of the opponents they face is too high.

Suddenly, Xiong Lie suddenly raised his left arm, and a dark crossbow appeared.

"Whoosh!"

Say it's too late, then it's too fast,

Xue San's body fell backwards, and the whole person lay on his back on the ground, his legs kicked forward.

Xiong Lie pulled out his knife and was about to take advantage of the situation to go up and hack Xue San to death, but his body suddenly trembled, and two short arrows were pierced into his abdomen.

Xue San raised his legs,

Shook it arrogantly at Xiong Lie like an aerobics athlete,

Road:

"Playing with a secret weapon, you've found the wrong person."

………

On the valley,

Looking at the camp below with flickering torches, listening to the constant sound of fighting in his ears, Liang Cheng reached out and rubbed his chin.

Beside him, stood Xu Youcheng.

"Captain Xu."

"The end will be." Xu Youcheng saluted Liang Cheng.

"I heard that you Jin people have been good at fighting wild people for a hundred years, but General Ben has never seen it, so I don't know if it's true."

"General, we can't beat the Yan people, but the wild people, it's no problem!"

When Liang Cheng heard this, he smiled,

Knowing how much humiliation this old Qiu Ba in the army endured in his heart when he said such words,

Reached

patted Xu Youcheng on the shoulder,

Road:

"In the future, I will be able to beat the Yan people."

"What ........."

Xu Youcheng was still a little inexplicable, he didn't know why this Yan general's general would say such a thing.

"However, for now, please ask Captain Xu to prove it to me, if you even lose the housekeeping skills of fighting savages, then don't think about the same meals as Brother Yan Jun in the future."

"Please take a look, General."

Liang Cheng stretched out his hand and patted Fan Li's stomach beside him, because Fan Li was already armored, and his whole body was covered with iron, and there was a sonorous sound under the knock.

"Blow it."

Fan Li, who was already standing and dozing off, was woken up,

looked around a little dazedly,

After yawning,

picked up the rhinoceros horn that he had carried for a day, puffed out his cheeks, and was about to blow it, when Liang Cheng added:

"If you dare to blow the trumpet again, you won't be allowed to eat tomorrow."

"Forehead ........."

Fan Li smashed his mouth and pointed at the rhinoceros horn:

"Woo woo !!!!!!!!"

When the trumpet sounds,

The Yan army, which had already returned to the division to complete the counter-encirclement, no longer hid and began to charge.

thereinto

The Jin people, whose morale had been a little low, showed an extraordinary courage and fearlessness at this time, and they all rushed down with a roar, and there was really a posture of a group of wolves descending the mountain.

The soldiers of the original Cuiliu Fort were much more orderly, and everyone kept a formation and charged downward.

Ah Ming, who had been standing beside Liang Cheng, laughed and teased:

"Is this considered a promise in front of the Yan people, and the wild man attacked with a heavy fist in front of him."

"We have to let them regain some self-confidence and murderous spirit, otherwise they will all have to become soldiers, this group of savages is really no big deal, they come and go down again, and they don't leave themselves some way out."

"Alright, you continue to command here, and I'll go down too." Ah Ming said that he was ready to rush down the mountain with the large army.

"What are you going down to do?" Liang Cheng asked, "The situation has been decided. ”

Ah Ming raised the empty water bladder in his hand,

Road:

"Let's get drunk."

Thanks to the book barrenness, he didn't exist and became the 82nd alliance leader of "Demon Lin".
