Menghuan cottage is hidden in a vast mountain forest, it is a medium-sized cottage, looking at the building can live about 4,000 people, but a few years ago the beast tide, so that there are only more than 2,000 people in the village now.

Like most villages in the Land of the Covered Heavens, it is built by mountains and rivers, facing south and north.

From a distance, the stockade is built in a ravine, flanked by a long mountain range, densely covered with all kinds of trees, as well as vines and bushes common in the mountain forest, so that the whole village blends into the mountain.

Along the rocky slopes, hundreds of stone houses are scattered around, surrounded by low walls made of bluestone. It's just that those stone houses look old, so that the village has traces of history.

In fact, the existence of Menghuan cottage has a history of thousands of years, when they walked out of the mountains and forests, and later returned to the mountains and forests.

However, this is the secret of the cottage, and not many people know the story. Those former patriarchs, clan elders, and witch princes only told this story to those who could know it.

The whole village was backed by a steep cliff, which was a cliff that no one could easily climb.

Starting from the bottom of the cliff, the stockade built a wooden fence more than two zhang high, each stake is as thick as an adult's calf, and each plank is as thick as a fist, which appears to be very strong, and encloses the whole stockade tightly, blocking all living creatures from entering and leaving.

In fact, this is just the appearance, Menghuan cottage people know that those wooden fences, some secret passages, can escape from this cottage and enter the continuous mountain forest. Because people in the mountains and forests will not close themselves to death, but always leave some way for themselves to live.

The entrance and exit of the whole cottage is a gate facing north, and the gate is built on a stone wall made of hard bluestone. People can stand on this stone wall, so they can naturally attack people outside the stone wall.

The gate is about two zhang high, it is made of one of the hardest wood in the mountain forest, heavy rigid wood, and the gate is more than half a foot thick.

Outside the stockade is a hill, about the size of ten acres. There is a large river called Baishui on the side of the hill, which leads to a path in the mountain forest by a wide stone bridge.

Between the river and the stockade, there is a small river dug by hand, filled with water from the Baishui River, and there is a suspension bridge on the river, which is the only way for outsiders to enter the village.

In addition to the steep cliffs behind the stockade and the wooden fences erected at intervals, there are arrow towers at intervals. There are people on the arrow tower to guard to prevent mountain beasts or thieves from entering the stockade, these are all newly built after the beast tide, and they are also the experience summed up by so many clansmen.

The red dragon appeared in the corner of the Menghuan cottage bare-chested and with a golden horn, and he got in through the secret passage on the wooden fence. Those fences, as long as you know the exact location, can pull open thick planks and easily drill into the cottage.

As soon as I got into the stockade, I found that the stockade was different from usual, and the whole stockade looked panicked and chaotic. Some old and weak women and children were packing their things and beckoning each other to go to the secret passage, as if they wanted to enter the mountains and forests. Some young men shouted and rushed to the gate of the stockade with their weapons.

He vaguely heard the roar of the fierce-tempered white-bearded patriarch, and the nervous shouts of others, those shouts were rapid and loud, indicating that something was happening in the direction of the Zhaimen.

Meng Winding Red Dragon frowned, feeling that something unusual had happened.

In the past, there were also people who blocked the gate of the village and wanted to gamble, because after the beast tide, there were always people who came to challenge the Menghuan cottage, and Wu Gong and the patriarch could always solve such a problem, but this time it didn't feel right for him, it seemed to be bigger than the gambling fight, because the whole village was in chaos.

He quickened his pace and ran in the direction of home.

If you want to deliver a letter to Yitian City, you have to prepare for a long run, not to mention that he is still wearing a top, and he always has to find a piece of clothing to wear.

In his mind, Yitian City must be far away, not only to put on clothes, but also to bring food. Because I usually go out hunting, I have to bring food, not to mention going to a farther place this time.

He knew that at this time, Wu Gong and the patriarch must be guarding the gate of the wall, negotiating with the people who came.

Therefore, he had to prepare as soon as possible, find Wu Gong, explain clearly the matter of Ma Linlong, especially about his learning to fight witches, and then find someone to take him to Yitian City, he has never been to Yitian City, and he doesn't know the way.

As he ran through the stockade with the golden horn toward his house, he suddenly heard a slight whistling sound, and instinctively rolled over to a group on the side.

This is the skill he learned to hunt in the mountains and forests, and if you attack the mountain beast head-on, you will only be hit by it, dodge to the side, and the mountain beast will rush straight past you.

Most of those mountain beasts are stupid and only rampage when attacking.

There was a sound of "duh", and an arrow pierced the ground beside him, the arrow of the arrow was made of metal, in a triangular shape, and a row of feathers at the end of the arrow was still trembling slightly in the wind.

There is no shortage of wood and stone in the mountains, but there is a lack of metal weapons, so although the children in the Menghuan cottage have weapons, they are basically bone, wooden or stone weapons.

He was no exception, with only a bone spear and a birch bow and arrows behind his back. These are made by himself, and the arrows can only be cut into flattened shapes, which is naturally not as beautiful as the feathered arrows in front of him.

His eyes lit up, and he got up from the ground and grabbed the feathered arrow. But I reacted immediately, and I couldn't shoot it out at random with such a beautiful metal arrow, and I shouldn't be a person from the earth.

He knew that the villages in this area were not so rich, although there were metal arrows, they did not shoot them easily, and even after shooting, he had to find a way to take the arrows back and keep them for next time.

This made him have a bad feeling in his heart, and he instinctively felt that the people outside the village might be upright dynasty people.

Seeing the chaotic scene in the stockade, his heart suddenly lifted, and he immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards the gate of the village.

When he ran up to the stone wall, he saw Wu Gong and the patriarch standing on the stone wall, directing the clansmen to defend. Surrounded by a few clansmen, they wielded their weapons to strike the scattered arrows.

The fire fox is also among them, because Brother is also a war witch. At this time, for the sake of the entire cottage, it is necessary to guard the stone wall, and if the other party wants to do it, the war witch will have to fight to defend the village.

Standing on the stone wall, he looked out of the village, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, and immediately startled, because what he saw was not the Wu people in the mountains and forests, but some people with different shapes from them.

There were about 5,000 of these people, and they were standing densely on the hills outside the stockade.

Most of them are tall and burly, with hideous and vicious faces, and some violent air flashes in their eyes from time to time, showing bloodthirsty desires, and the most striking feature is that there are two horns on their heads, but each person is of different size, basically about half a foot.

Most of these people wore half-metal armor, and some did not wear armor at all, showing off their strong muscles and wielding clumsy weapons. For example, axes, clubs, hammers, etc., some of them held huge shields, but they took spears more than a foot long.

A small number of them are relatively short and well-proportioned, and they are a head shorter than the people of the Wu Clan.

These people are all handsome and well-proportioned, and the most distinctive thing is their hair, which looks colorful, unlike the black hair of the Wu people. And these people are pale, their eyes are glazed, and they speak with a contrived expression, as if they are imitating someone.

This part of the people wore full-body metal armor, which glittered in the sun, and deliberately exposed the gorgeous costumes in the armor, carrying some light short weapons, and few people carried heavy weapons.

Now they were gathering in twos and threes to chat, as if they were on a trip in this spring, and from time to time shouting at those tall people, moving slowly in line in the direction of the stockade.

When he saw these people, he remembered Ma Linlong's brief explanation, as well as the fragments in his memory, and immediately reacted that these people were indeed from the upright dynasty. The tall and hideous ones were the asuras, but they didn't expect them to have horns on their heads. The short and handsome people are the Shura, and looking at what they are wearing, they are really people who like to enjoy.

This made Meng Huan Chilong take a breath of cold air, he never doubted the authenticity of Ma Linlong's news, but he didn't expect the people of the Duan Zheng Dynasty to come so quickly, and they had already hit the cottage, these people were not something that a Menghuan cottage could resist.

Since the tide of beasts, although there are still so many buildings in Menghuan Cottage, in fact, most of the houses have been empty, because the number of young and middle-aged people has decreased sharply, and now there are only more than 2,700 people in the whole village, most of them are still old and weak women and children, and they obviously can't resist the 5,000 fully armed upright dynasty soldiers.

This made Meng Huan Chilong a little worried, if these righteous dynasty people attacked the cottage, they were afraid that the entire village would be destroyed.

The metal armor on those men, he had never seen before. He had seen leather armor, wooden armor, cloth back armor and the like, and there were few shields for defense, and there were only a few pieces of the entire stockade.

The Wu people pay attention to ferocity in battle, advocating that offense is the best defense, coupled with the fact that the great wizard has a battle spirit to protect himself, the mountain people rarely work defense, and no matter how good the defense in the mountains and forests is, they can't stop the mountain beasts from striking with all their might.

The people in the mountains only hope to have a good and sharp weapon, unless the family has the conditions, they will get a piece of armor and shield to show their majesty. But when hunting, you don't use these things.

The means of the mountain people and the mountain ** were first projected with wooden or bone short spears, and then with bows and arrows, which also made the stockade full of good spearmen and archers. When these means can't shoot the beast, and then cooperate with each other, relying on the flexibility of the body, rush up to the axe, machete, slash and spear, and directly fight with the mountain beast.

It is a little similar to the Asura people, they like to use heavy weapons, and they are particularly fierce, because most of the mountain beasts have thick skin and rough flesh, and the weapons that are too light cannot hurt the mountain beasts.

From this point of view, it is not easy to make a living in the mountains and forests.

Now it seems that the defense of the people of the upright dynasty is better than that of the fortress, which can easily block the arrows flying in the air and reduce unnecessary damage. The most important thing is that there are more people outside the village than in the village.

I remember Ma Linlong said that more than 200,000 people came to the Duanzheng Dynasty, this should be the vanguard force, and there are a large number of people behind, if all these people are killed, what will happen?

When thinking like this, Meng Huan Chilong finally understood why Ma Linlong desperately wanted to send the news to Yitian City, and he also felt this way now.

He was worried about the Menghuan cottage, and the entire cottage couldn't withstand the attacks of these upright dynasty soldiers.
