The Xia army was well prepared, six thousand soldiers, all carrying hemp bags and rushing to the valley mouth. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, there were 3,000 Shen people guarding the earthen wall at the mouth of the valley, and most of the poisoned clansmen had not fully recovered, and were still lying in the hospital bed; at present, 100,000 people were in a hurry, but the Shen family could only transfer these 3,000 soldiers.

The Xia people's army formation approached little by little, and each soldier carried a bag of hemp, which was filled with dirt, which made the Shen people not understand what their intentions were? The defenders of the Shen family gathered on the earthen wall and did not dare to move rashly for a while.

Soon they understood that the Xia army's formation had stopped fifty paces from the mouth of the valley, and they had piled sacks full of dirt on the ground one after another, forming a new slope of earth.

The Shen defenders shot arrows for a while, but they were all blocked by shields, while the sacks on the opposite side were constantly piled up, and the new dirt slope was approaching the earth wall little by little. In two quarters of an hour, 6,000 sacks were piled up on a slope that met the earthen wall of Zuxi Pass.

The four-meter-high earthen wall lost its defensive advantage in this way, and the six thousand Xia family warriors immediately launched a charge and rushed up from this slope where sacks were stacked.

"Kill......"

Between the Shen people and the Xia people, they have been fighting for hundreds of years, and when they survived, today's three thousand Shen people are even more bitter about the same enemy, and they are not afraid of the old enemy. The two armies fought each other on the earthen wall, and in an instant, the sound of slashing and killing resounded through the valley.

The two armies fought until dark, and the battle was fierce, and both sides suffered heavy losses. But from beginning to end, the Xia people failed to break through the earthen wall, and the earthen wall was still held by the Shen people.

Despite this, the Shen people are facing the fatal problem of attrition, Shen Di'er's father Shen family is full of gloom, with the continuous increase in casualties, within two days, the Xia people will rush into the village, and at that time, the old and young of the clan will suffer from this sword and soldier.

The Xia people took advantage of the difficulties to start a war, and the Shen people were in danger, and they were afraid that the word "Shen" would completely disappear into the vast mountains of the wasteland.

At this time, Shen Di'er walked in: "Daddy, I have a way to defeat the Xia people." ”

The old patriarch glanced up at Shen Di'er, then lowered his head and said nothing, her daughter is naïve by nature, what can she do?

Shen Di'er walked in front of the old patriarch: "Daddy, I have three strategies, let me tell you!"

Seeing that Shen Di'er was still not good at giving up, the old patriarch said casually: "Say it! I'll listen." ”

Shen Di'er sighed and said:

"The daughter first said the next step, defend the valley mouth and fight to the death, until all the men in the clan are killed, and then let the children, women and old people in the clan go to the battlefield, even if our Shen family is destroyed, we will let the Xia people suffer heavy losses! We, the Shen people, will never be defeated and enslaved. Shen Di'er finished in one breath.

"What kind of ploy is this?"

The patriarch shook his head as if he were looking at an ignorant child. Suddenly, the patriarch was stunned in his heart, wasn't the next step Shen Di'er said he was doing?

Only then did he raise his eyes and look at his daughter seriously: "Di'er, you continue." ”

Shen Di'er said again: "The middle strategy is that Daddy himself led a thousand soldiers to raid the Xia people's camp tonight; ”

The old patriarch shook his head: "

Xia Jincheng has been fighting for decades, and it is not easy to raid the Xia people's camp, and there are only 2,000 soldiers left who can fight at the moment, even if the raid is successful, the Xia people cannot be completely defeated, and the Xia people will attack again tomorrow, how can they resist it?"

"Father, there is still a best policy! this is the best policy...... Shen Di'er finished one by one.

The old patriarch was silent for a long time after hearing this, and thought deeply: "This strategy is too risky and must not be feasible. ”

The old patriarch's face was serious, and he was silent for a quarter of an hour, and he sighed: "Alas...... However, only this best strategy can save me 30,000 Shen people. ”

The old patriarch turned to ask, "Di'er, you can't come up with these three strategies, right?"

Shen Di'er squeaked and didn't make a sound, bowing her head to avoid Daddy's questioning gaze.

The old patriarch saw through his daughter's mind at a glance, and he continued to ask:

"Who taught you?

Shen Di'er had to nod and admit: "Well, yes." ”

"Who is he, how can you trust him?" said the patriarch earnestly.

"Who the hell is he...... I...... I don't know, he doesn't seem to be from the Wasteland. ”

"In other words, the origin of this person is unknown......"

The old patriarch's face was solemn, and he hesitated in his heart for a long time, but he finally made up his mind: "For now, I can only believe him." ”

Near night, the sky was dark, and the Xia soldiers stopped their attack and retreated to their camp. Shen Jingzhi, the head of the Shen family, walked towards the Xia people's camp and reported to Xia Jin that he had surrendered.

Soon, Shen Jingzhi was brought into the tent and met Xia Jincheng, the head of the Xia family. Xia Jin Cheng was drinking with several soldiers, he put the wine bowl on the handsome table, got up and walked in front of Shen Jingzhi, and looked at the comer.

"Are you really here to surrender?" Xia Jincheng felt strange that someone in the Shen family took the initiative to defect to the Xia people, and at this time, it seemed that the Shen people's will to resist began to collapse.

Shen Jingzhi, the head of the Shen family, stood in the military tent, looked ahead and said, "No, it's not me who is here to surrender, it's the entire 30,000 Shen people who are willing to surrender to the Xia family." ”

"Huh?" Xia Jincheng sneered, forced his eyes at Shen Jingzhi and asked, "What about the blood nature of your Shen people? ”

Shen Jingzhi replied:

"It's not that we, the Shen people, are afraid, it's just because the old patriarch loves the old and young in the clan and doesn't want to harm the innocent in the clan, and the patriarch is willing to surrender the whole clan to the Xia tribe. But I beg the Xia family to save my Shen family, and from then on, the Xia people took over Zuxitong, and the Shen family only did agriculture, not military warfare, and was under the control of the Xia people forever. ”

Xia Jincheng smiled secretly:

"What you said is really good, what a loving old and young man, if you are afraid, you are afraid, what you say is really high-sounding. In that case, I want the heads of your family patriarch Shen Baihe and the three elders to protect your Shen family, is he willing to hand it over?" Xia Jincheng said in a playful tone.

"You ......" Shen Jingzhi's face was indignant, Xia Jincheng's requirements were too harsh, but at this time, he was angry and didn't dare to speak.

Xia Jincheng's eyes showed a fierce light, and he pulled out the sword on his waist and pointed at Shen Jingzhi: "What, don't want to? That's okay, when my 10,000 Xia soldiers attack Zuxi Mountain, I will definitely kill all the Shen people." ”

As soon as Xia Jincheng said this, Shen Jingzhi couldn't help but shed a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Patriarch Xia, don't be angry, let me go back and ask my patriarch if you can agree to this condition, I will come back tomorrow, but please ask Patriarch Xia to rest for a day, so as not to increase casualties. ”

After speaking, Shen Jingzhi quietly waited for Xia Jincheng's reply.

Xia Jincheng turned around, slowly walked to the front of the case, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and then said to Shen Jingdao: "Okay, I'll stop for a day, you go back!"

After getting Xia Jincheng's reply, Shen Jingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and rested for a day, which was enough. He bowed forward: "Retire." ”

Shen Jingzhi returned to the clan land, the clan was spreading hay and firewood, the ground and the corners of the wall were everywhere, and the Shen people had been preparing for a whole night. At dawn the next day, the tribesmen began to pack up and hurriedly took away a small amount of grain. By noon, all 30,000 people had withdrawn from the tribe's territory, and the entire village was empty.

A force of 2,000 Shen warriors was rushing at full speed, taking the northern mountain road, through the impassable dense forest, and bypassing the northern earthen wall of the stockade. After a difficult trek night after day, at noon, he finally went around to the back of the Xia people's camp and ambushed him to wait for orders.

At noon, Shen Jingzhi came to the Xia camp as promised, and Shen Jingzhi said to Xia Jin:

"Patriarch Xia, I have told my family patriarch what you mean. ”

Xia Jincheng turned his back to Shen Jingzhi and said without looking back: "What did he say?"

Shen Jingzhi took a breath, and then said:

"Xia Jincheng, Xia Hu's youngest son, you poisoned your eldest brother, stood on your own with the young generation, strangled your father with your own hands, seized the position of the patriarch, and even had incest with your stepmother, shameless, our Shen family will never give in to one, pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts. ”

Xia Jincheng turned around suddenly, pulled out his long sword and shouted angrily: "Full of nonsense, I will kill you." ”

Shen Jingzhi is indeed nonsense, but it is also half-truth, if the evidence he said is conclusive, maybe Xia Jincheng will only be ashamed when he hears it, but not angry. Shen Jingzhi just said that he was chasing after the wind and catching shadows, which made Xia Jincheng angry.

Shen Jingzhi laughed: "Hahaha! My family patriarch said that even if all the Shen people died in battle, they would never give up this open valley to the Xia people, and I asked the Xia patriarch for 30,000 Shen people to fight to the death!"

Xia Jincheng couldn't listen anymore, and stabbed Shen Jingzhi to death with a sword: "I should have killed you yesterday." ”

Shen Jingzhi angered Xia Jincheng and completed his last mission!

Xia Jincheng yelled: "Hmph...... If you dare to insult me, I will kill no one of the Shen people. Pass the order, the whole army will attack, and in one go, attack Zuxi Mountain!"

"Obey!"

Xia Jin Cheng was stubborn and stubborn, and personally led 9,000 Xia soldiers to the camp, and the Xia people went up the slope. At this time, on the earthen wall, there were only a few hundred Shen people soldiers to defend, how could they stop the menacing Xia people?

Seeing this, Xia Jincheng laughed arrogantly: "Hahaha! The cold poison has killed most of the Shen people, and the Shen family is almost gone, no wonder Shen Baihe's gang of old immortals want to surrender." ”

It's just that Xia Jincheng wouldn't have thought that in order not to make him suspicious, these hundreds of people were abandoned sons arranged by Shen Baihe.

In close combat, with the advantage of numbers, the war turned into a one-sided massacre, and the hundreds of resisting Shen people were quickly cleaned up.

Nine thousand Xia people rushed into Zuxitong very easily, without encountering any resistance, all the houses in Zuxitong were empty, and at this time there was no longer half a figure in sight, Xia Jincheng looked at the empty village, the ground to the corner of the wall was covered with dry firewood, and the scene in front of him made him stunned in place.

Xia Jincheng suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered: "Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"

"Report ...... Our army camp was burned, and a group of Shen people came from the rear!" The soldier had not finished his report, and the shouts of killing from the rear were earth-shattering. At the same time, fires broke out all over Zuxitong.

All the 9,000 Xia people entered the clan land, and the Shen warriors who were ambushed in the rear quickly broke through the Xia people's camp. Just as Xia Jincheng was about to retreat, the two thousand elites of the Shen people had already lined up to block the valley mouth and block the retreat of the Xia people.

The Shen people attacked from the rear, and after they broke through the rear camp of the Xia people, they blocked the Xia people in the clan land. All the houses in Zuxi Pass burned, the fire became bigger and bigger, and the entire Shen family's land suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
