Section 169 Ambush

"Don't panic! There is no army of Chu people around, this is just an accident, a landslide. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"All the people gathered in a team, took the frightened mules and horses, distributed tools, and dug up the rocks blocking the valley mouth as fast as they could. ā€

"If anyone dares to scream, kill them!"

Nguyen Tran Xiong Wei is indeed a qualified general. He is observant and quick to react. After confirming that the shaman was safe and sound under the protection of the shield, he immediately called his personal lieutenant and quickly issued a series of orders. At the same time, he drew his saber and slashed off the head of a guard who was still trembling and disobeying orders.

Blood and dead people are the best symbols of authority.

The monks would not make a move on ordinary people, and the scouts had not found the Chu army on the outskirts of the valley before, which meant that the location of the Chu army was far away from the valley. The reason why the other party created a mudslide to block the road was to buy time for the Chu army. There's a fatal time lag in between. If they can exit the valley before the arrival of the Chu army, then the Yue army can also launch a counterattack. But if you stay here and have nothing to do, as soon as the Chu army arrives and occupies the terrain advantage, the 70,000 Yue troops trapped in the valley will definitely die.

The other party's plan is as simple as that. But to really implement it, every step must be absolutely precise. Ruan Chen Xiong was very impressed by the enemy hiding in the shadows, and his heart was as anxious as fire. The speed of manual transportation of stones is very slow, and I am afraid that the road will not be able to open up at night.

Luckily, only four shamans were killed, and the remaining one was guarded by the guards like a bucket. As long as the shaman is safe and sound, he can mobilize his spiritual energy to help his people and open the valley in a short time.

As soon as such a thought popped up in his mind, Ruan Chen Xiong suddenly felt that his heart was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand. He stopped abruptly and turned around. I looked at the top of the mountain in the side direction.

At the end of the spectrum, stands a tall, steep mountain. The rock walls are as hard and straight as an axe, and the height is much higher than the surrounding cliffs. The mountain wind swept over the cliffs, making a terrifying whistling sound.

At the top of the mountain, a man stood.

The sun was facing away from him, and the rays of light were tilting in that direction. It's glaring. Ruan Chen Xiong couldn't see the man's face clearly, and could only see a shadow firmly wrapped in red light. He held a bow in his hand and an arrow, the sharp arrow pointing straight in this direction, aiming at his brow.

Ruan Chen Xiong subconsciously retreated a few steps, but at the same moment, he suddenly realized. His eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted at the guards who were holding heavy shields to protect the shaman: "His target is the Guru, quickly move the Guru to a safe place." Hurry!"

It's too late.

A chilling bowstring tremble was released in the air, and black arrows pierced through the clouds. Shoot hard at the core of the shield encirclement. It seemed to be a murder weapon with considerable weight and strong killing intent, and its speed was like lightning, making it impossible to see the flight trajectory clearly. Ruan Chen Xiong only felt a flash of cold air in front of him, and the shield array formed by the strong guards behind him had exploded. The thick shield was shot out of a large hole, and through the path of the sunlight, the shaman hiding in it had round eyes and an arrow firmly nailed in the center of his eyebrows. The force was so powerful that the arrow pierced through the hard skull. Drilled out of the back of his head. The triangular arrow, stained with cerebral blood, was along the edge. Slowly flowing down.

From the top of the surrounding mountain, there were screams scattered from the ground.

That's the scout sent out before. The Chu people had already planned and avoided the search of the Yue scouts. Now that the two sides of the valley have been firmly blocked, there is no need to continue to hide.

Ruan Chenxiong stared blankly at the top of the mountain, at the man who couldn't see his face clearly.

So far. How exactly did he do it?

The monk does have the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth, so terrifying, so terrifying.

For the second time in his life, Nguyen Tran felt hopeless.

The last time I felt the same thing was when my mother was killed by my father. The drunkard kept yelling that his mother was ugly and that he wanted to kill her and marry another woman. Young Nguyen Tran was kicked under the table by his father. was dying, but her weak mother jumped up like a wild lion.

On that bloody and murderous night, my mother was blinded in one eye by her father, and she herself gnawed his father's throat alive with her teeth.

She taught me what it means to die and live after.

But this time, it's also a Jedi, but there's no chance of survival. 态

Maybe, I shouldn't have been here.

......

At night, 10,000 Xuanhuo troops occupied the cliffs on both sides of the valley. Torches were lit around, and behind the majestic figures in armor were countless busy people from Cai County, as well as people from neighboring states and counties.

The county commander Luo Fang stood beside Yang Tianhong, his white face full of shock, as well as uncontrollable trembling and pleasure.

He threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that Yang Tianhong admired.

Two mudslides turned the entire valley into a natural shelter for enemies. There are many mountain cliffs around, and it is difficult for the Yue people to fly in them.

Yang Tianhong arranged archers at various commanding heights. Luo Fang took the people of Cai County and transported a large number of military supplies from the surrounding counties overnight. Among them, there are the most abundant bows and arrows and fire-starting objects.

The Yue people in the valley were no longer moving. The Xuanhuo army marched extremely fast, and for a whole afternoon, the Yue people who were digging rocks at both ends of the valley died under the arrows. The Xuanhuo sergeant shoots hard and accurately, and can see each target clearly from a high position. No matter how fierce Ruan Chen Xiong tried to kill, deterrence would have no effect. The frightened Yue people cowered behind the rocks, not daring to show their heads. All around, there were corpses stuck in arrows.

Yang Tianhong had a smile on his handsome face.

He adhered to the rule that monks should not do anything to ordinary people. From the very beginning, Yang Tianhong did not want to let go of any Yue people. Ruan Chen Xiong led the army into the valley by himself, and the baggage troops left outside were all wiped out by the Xuanhuo Army's Desolate Beast Cavalry. He has already sent someone to Anzhou to deliver the letter at night, and by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, Cao Hui will be able to arrive with reinforcements. When the time comes, the 70,000 Yue people in the valley will be slaughtered.

Yes, slaughter them alive like pigs.

No one can escape this valley.

The shaman of the Yue people has been killed. It also takes a lot of time to dig up the rocks in the valley with manpower alone.

They don't have baggage. Although there was dry food with them, there was no water in the grain. The weather is so hot that it only takes one night at most, and these Yue people will be thirsty. They will take the initiative to surrender and will be desperate to survive. In the face of this kind of enemy, who has no strength to resist. It's not like you want to do it, just do it.

Luo Fang no longer had the slightest suspicion of Yang Tianhong, and he was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Xuanhuo Army, Cai County would have been burned.

Yang Tianhong did not break his promise, the 70,000 army of the Yue people was surrounded by regiments, but it took time to make combat equipment, and it was impossible to kill them in a short time. There are still thousands of garrisons in Anzhou City, and when Cao Hui arrives with all the necessary supplies, the blood feud between Qingsui and all the dead in Cai County. It must be reciprocated.

......

Anzhou, Thorn History.

It's already dark. Cao Hui stood in the empty room, his hands behind his back, silently staring at the moonless night sky.

Anju is a bitter place. Since his arrival, Cao Hui has seen too many tragic things that he couldn't think of before.

The Vietnamese have always claimed that they have absolute control over the land of Anzhou. Every year, a large number of people in Chu have migrated here, and various prefectures and counties have also formed militia groups, but they cannot stop the plundering army of the Yue. Those barbarians were curious about all the utensils of the people of Chu State. There is an unusual possessive mentality. Burning, killing and plundering is still light, and the Yue people are irrational beasts. It's crazy.

Cao Hui had seen the body cut open, and the whole body was covered with salt-grained cured meat. It is the most favorite dry food of the Yue people. They killed the people of Chu, pickled them and dried them, and then cut them into pieces and fried them for wine. It is said that this cured meat is very popular among the Yue people, ranging from children, young women, and old people. Prices also vary.

In the past, Cao Hui was a beautiful man who everyone would praise when they saw him.

Although people become ugly when they get old, Cao Hui's age is at most in the prime of life, which has nothing to do with the word "old".

Every day I am afraid, and every day I have to worry about the people. Every day when I go to bed, I have a dagger or sword tucked under my pillow...... In such a day, anyone who changes will grow old quickly.

When he came to Anzhou to serve as the assassin, Cao Hui was already marrying in his hometown. His wife is a noble daughter of a local clan, very beautiful, gentle and graceful, and generous. The couple is very satisfied with this marriage, and the family contacts between the two sides are also very close.

According to the time agreed by the couple, one year after Cao Hui arrived, his wife would rush over from his hometown. It's just that the woman full of joy didn't expect that a year later, Cao Hui sent someone to bring a letter of resignation from Anzhou.

Most of the officials in Antar do not have families.

The southern Xinjiang region has become a place where the Chu State arranges for officials who are not welcomed. In every state capital and county office in the interior, there are more or less a few officials and petty officials who do not deal with their superiors. The places of exile of the officials who made mistakes are basically Anzhou, and there are many guys like Luo Fang who offended their bosses and were sent from afar. That's right, this is also under the rule of the Chu State, but it is a ghost place where the good people don't want to come. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't live in the land of Chu, had no life, and no land, the ghosts would be willing to come.

Not to mention, Qingsui County Ling Dou Weixian's family is the best example. Although he sent people to send his family members long before the Yue people besieged the city. However, the carriage man and others were caught by the Yue people on the road. Of course, Cao Hui also sent someone to respond, however, he only got the news of the tragic death of Dou Weixian's family.

It's not a big deal if a person dies.

But his wife and children are the most uncontrollable part of his heart. The reason why Zheng Zheng Tie Man will bend his knees is not for himself, but for the safety of his wife and daughter. I am dead, and they are humiliated. It's not fair. So, in the face of death threats, tough guys won't even blink an eye. But if it involves family members, no matter how cold-hearted a man is, he will be forced to bow his head and beg for mercy on his knees.

Cao Hui knew that he was not the kind of person who was cold and hard, and he was not an iron man. Rather than one day Yue people caught his wife and used it as a threat, it was better for him to write a letter of resignation early and cut off all connections.

It is much better to be a negative man who is hated by women than to be a coward and traitor who is scolded by everyone. Cao Hui is very clear about this account. What's more, coming to Anzhou to serve as a assassin was originally a desperate act to pin his head to the waistband of his trousers. Cao Hui didn't know the danger earlier, but although he understood it later, he also had the tragic psychology of "I don't go to hell, who will go to hell". That's fine. Death is my own death, why implicate an innocent woman? Although I like her very much, compared to being a widow inexplicably at some point, I still let go and let her find a better place than herself.

This is Cao Hui's love.

The appetite of the Yue barbarians is getting bigger and bigger, and they are a bunch of beasts that can't be fed. This year, as many as 150,000 troops were dispatched...... This is a posture that wants to swallow the whole of Anju in one bite and is not willing to spit it out again.

Among the barbarians, there are also a few cultured people. Ruan Chen Xiong Yan should be regarded as one of the representatives. He sent someone to bring Dou Weixian's body from Qingsui. Dou Weixian has long been unrecognizable, his body has been salted to keep it incorruptible, but his body is full of large and small arrows. Cao Hui ordered people to pull out all the arrows, as many as more than 300 pieces, and put them on the scales, which were heavy and dozens of catties.

A white lantern was hung at the entrance of the Assassin's Mansion. Those lanterns were hung up years ago. I haven't been able to take it off. Every time the Vietnamese people enter the country, there are many families inside and outside the city of Anzhou, and there are fireworks and cries for days.

It's a city of grief. Death can strike at any time. All kinds of tragedies, Cao Hui wrote clearly in the memorabilia, and sent Hongling urgent reports to the Beijing division again and again. However, every time it was a stone in the sea, the Six Ministries and the Cabinet ignored it, and even His Majesty never replied. Although reinforcements are sent every year. But those soldiers are worse than bandits. Except for causing trouble in Anzhou City, they did not dare to go out of the city to face the enemy.

This year's situation. This is a difference from previous years. A Xuanhuo army came, and a Yang Tianhong came.

Very handsome young man, with a good smile and white teeth. It's just that his temperament is a little gloomy, and his fierceness is shown on his face, which makes people know it at a glance.

I have been a thorn for so many years. It was the first time Cao Hui had seen such a leading general. The Xuanhuo army only stayed in front of Anzhou City for a few hours, ate a meal, and then left, heading towards Cai County.

At that time, the officials up and down the Assassin's Mansion were discussing. On the one hand, I was surprised by this and felt that Yang Tianhong was different. On the other hand, he also felt sorry for the Xuanhuo Army, and felt that 10,000 soldiers were no match for the Yue people in Cai County anyway. But no matter what, this kind of brave and undaunted general is indeed admirable.

Cao Hui always paid attention to the war in Cai County. He is very clear about the ability of the county commander Luo Fang, this person has a flexible brain, and the city defense of Cai County has been built by him very strongly. The number of garrison troops in Anzhou was running out, and Cao Hui also gave Romanian assistance to the greatest extent on the premise of ensuring the safety of the state city. It's just that no one expected that Luo Fang soon sent a good news, claiming that the Xuanhuo Army had broken the Yue people in Cai County, killed more than 10,000 people, captured thousands, and captured the enemy general Ruan Chen Xuan Ying.

Is this kind of thing possible?

Cao Hui felt that this was a lie at the time, but with his understanding of Luo Fang, it was impossible for this person to joke about this kind of thing, and he would definitely not make a deceptive move. Then the only explanation can only be the Xuanhuo Army under Yang Tianhong.

What is the concept of killing Wanyue people?

The Yue people are the natural rulers of this land. They are familiar with the mountains and forests, and they know what food to eat and where there is water. The reason why the Chu people are not the opponents of the Yue people and have been defeated repeatedly is because the Yue people occupy the advantage of environmental and geographical advantages. The armor of the Chu State is sharp, and the bamboo guns and iron knives of the Yue people are brittle and easy to break, but every time they go out of the city to fight, the Yue people will always set countless traps, blowing arrows and poisonous needles are impossible to prevent. According to the records of Anzhou County, the earliest assassin once led 3,000 men and horses out of the city to suppress thieves, and in just two days, more than 2,000 people had been lost between the mountains and forests. The results obtained were nothing more than six heads of the Yue barbarians.

Perhaps because the state of Chu occupied Anzhou, the Yue barbarians were also constantly evolving. There's a lot of culture in them. The young man no longer has tattoos on his face, and the woman has an extra piece of clothing, and she no longer shows her breasts as she used to. Many Yue people began to roast food over the fire like the Chu people, and only the stubborn Yue elders would chew raw meat.

Many Yue people like the books of the Chu people, and they are also catchy about the articles of the Confucian saints.

What's even more terrifying is that due to years of war, the Yue people received a large amount of booty from the Chu soldiers who died in battle. They began to equip them with iron armor and steel knives, and smelted all kinds of steel artifacts plundered from Chu to make spear heads and arrowheads...... In a short period of time, the Yue barbarians completed the basic process from primitive to civilized. This kind of huge change is shocking, and it is definitely not what the previous emperors of the Chu State were willing to see.

Having slaughtered thousands of barbarians, it's just a dream. A dream that has been wanted to come true by countless generals and officials of the Chu State for a long time.

After many major defeats, everyone was soberly aware of the completely unequal strength between the Chu and Yue people. The weapons of the civilized world are difficult to exert their effects in the wilderness of southern Xinjiang. There are no plains here, and large military formations cannot be set up at all. There were no roads, and the heavy crossbows of the army, which had great lethality, could only be placed on the top of the city and used as fixed batteries. There are also armor and weapons, and the humid climate of southern Xinjiang makes the steel armor easy to rust, and it is placed in the treasury for a period of time without maintenance, and it will soon become a pile of scrap iron. On the other hand, the Yue people have done a good job in this regard, except for the nobles who have an unusual hobby for iron armor, almost all the Yue people wear leather armor. They melted down steel tools to make arrowheads, increasing the frequency of use and multiplying their lethality. (To be continued.) )
