Chapter Seventy-One: The Hearts of the People Are Scattered
Very few people can be as calm as water after doing a lot of big bad things that are contrary to their original beliefs.
Therefore, bad things can only succeed for a while, once they do bad things that they don't want to do for a long time, plus they are young people, and they are hot and cold, they do some things that can only be done by old yin people, and psychological collapse is inevitable.
At this point, seeing Di Guangsi's appearance, Yun Jin began to re-examine the history books that he once thought he had studied very thoroughly.
The text description is too simple and straightforward, so that the characteristics of the voice of the text are not expressed.
The hateful historians of the past liked to be lazy, and when recording historical facts, they often used the simplest words to describe the most thrilling things, if they were willing to carve a few more words on the bamboo slips, there would not be a few strokes in the history books, which was the magnificent life of countless heroes!
So much so that the children of later generations actually gave birth to their predecessors, but it was such a ridiculous feeling.
Yun Jin knew that the rabble he was now leading had begun to lose his heart and show signs of collapse after a long period of starvation and hardship.
This is a helpless thing, if in the Central Plains, where the population is dense, there are villages and cities that can be robbed, the southwest is sparsely populated, it is not easy to rob, when the Liukou is hungry for three days and nine meals, it is not easy to maintain the team until now.
Before the heavy rain stopped, Yun Jin gathered the seven hundred gentlemen together, and after discussing with the big guys, he decided to open an opening for the rogues to rush to the hinterland of Shengluopi in the Erhai Plain area, and then immediately retreated.
The situation that the rogues below are becoming more and more unruly and more difficult to command, almost everyone has already felt it deeply, so no one opposes the big retreat plan issued by Yun Jin this time.
"Sheng Luopi is at the exit of the Midu River, there must be a heavy guard, we must advance forward regardless of everything, until we break through the city of Midu, give the barbarians a foothold, and make the hatred between the barbarians and the white barbarians irreconcilable.
Only in this way can we live up to our brother's hard work in this forest for half a year. ”
Li Chengxiu's suggestion was also adopted by everyone, and everyone felt light, but more importantly, after a long period of depression, they finally saw the joy of retiring.
Yun Jin slammed his fist on the map on the muddy ground and said in a deep voice, "Then this!" Break the cauldron and sink the boat, fight against the water, take Midu City, and we will retreat at full speed! ”
Seeing that everyone began to leave, Yun Jin suddenly said: "Only with life can you enjoy happiness!" Don't be burdened by external objects. ”
Cheng Long, who was about to leave, thought about it, and threw the burden that had been on his back on the ground, and the burden made a loud noise, and some gold artifacts were scattered from the baggage.
Seeing that Cheng Long had done this, the rest of the gentlemen also discarded the heavy gold artifacts one after another, and in a moment's effort, the gold artifacts on the ground were piled up into a small mountain.
Sure enough, before noon, the rain suddenly became smaller, and Yun Jin didn't say a word, so he led the people and horses straight to the mouth of the Midu River.
After Ziqi Aguo knew about Yun Jin's arrangement, she refused to move forward.
After climbing over a mountain, Wen Huan whispered to Di Guangsi: "You came up with the idea?" ”
Di Guangsi shook his head and said: "No, once we break through Midu City, we must run back as fast as possible to join Master's army, otherwise, there are people in this forest who want our lives, not to mention reducing our combat strength with those things, it will not be good to run." ”
Wen Huan said regretfully: "I don't know if more than thirty women can take away so much gold." ”
Di Guangsi said: "It must be possible, people, there may be a limit to carrying other things, carrying gold, and the strength can be several times greater at once." ”
Just when the two of them were muttering, Ziqi Ah Guo was carrying two huge burdens and walking back, the hemp shoes on his feet were constantly breaking because of the heavy labor, and the silk on them was constantly breaking, and the irritable Ziqi Ah Guo simply discarded the hemp shoes, ignoring the green tendons on his neck, and walked barefoot and step by step towards his own place with mud.
The same is true of the rest of the women, the originally thin women, all of them have become infinitely powerful wrestlers at this moment, not to mention that their bodies are full of gold vessels, and each of them has two huge burdens, although they are faltering one by one, but none of them cry out that they are tired or bitter.
As long as you bring these things back, you can exchange how many blankets, how many iron pots, how many cows, how many pigs, and endless grain from the Tang merchants.
Unlike Ziqi and Aguo, who felt painful and happy, Yun Jin was not happy at all when she saw the tall fences on the side of the Midu River facing the mountain.
There were not only fences, but also dense wooden docks, each of which was no more than a mile apart, and the docks were full of vigilant soldiers.
Just behind the fence and the dock fort were large fields of farmland, full of golden ears of wheat, and there were many people in the fields, harvesting the wheat.
Before Yun Jin could see the situation clearly, the hungry barbarians rushed out of the mountains and forests like a flood, and immediately, the soldiers in the backdock fort saw it, and then, a long horn sounded in the Midu River.
More than 100,000 people even rushed out of the mountains, it would take a whole day, those fences and dock forts were as fragile as paper under the invasion of the crowd, and the black crowd flooded the golden wheat field, and when Yun Jin led people through this wheat field, he found that the wheat ears had been ripped out by the barbarians in front, not to mention, the entire wheat field was trampled by the army as smooth as a mirror.
The sound of the horn in the near distance was gone, and the sound of the horn in the distance was still ringing, and there was an extra black line on the horizon in front of him, which should be the army of Sheng Luopi, the king of Nanzhao.
The mouth of the Yadu River is not a very open place, and those barbarians who want to eat their stomachs have occupied almost every piece of land, even the wooden stilted houses under the shade of banyan trees and bamboo forests have already risen black smoke, not to mention, there are some weak and inaudible screams.
Yun Jin finally ordered Shi Bao, and Chahei formed two fronts on the plain that directly penetrated the Nanzhao army, and those black barbarians who were dragging behind had to follow the brigade to raid the Nanzhao army.
This time is different from the past, in order to ensure that the barbarians will not collapse, Yun Jin and the other seven hundred gentlemen have been running in the middle of the military formation, once Shi Bao, check the black when their attack is unfavorable, they can quickly open the situation as a vanguard army.
Yun Jin's round shield was full of feather arrows, and he did not choose to retreat, but trampled on the corpse of the black barbarian who was killed by the feather arrows, wanting to get out of the range covered by the feather arrows as soon as possible and enter the hand-to-hand combat first.
In the face of the tide of the black barbarians, the white barbarians did not choose to fight, they were retreating in an orderly manner, only using feather arrows to shoot the enemy, even if some of the black barbarians have already taken the first step into the white barbarian army, at this time, there are often a large number of armor soldiers quickly appeared, and the black barbarians who will not be able to expand the results of the battle will be killed one by one.
The armor on the armor is all Tang Dynasty standard armor, but it is painted white by the white barbarians, and with colorful peacock feathers on their heads, they look like heavenly soldiers descending from a distance.
Yun Jin continued to advance a hundred steps, then put the shield on his back, took out the longbow, put on the armor-piercing cone, and shot at the arrogant armor soldier at the front.
The reason why those armorers were arrogant and didn't care about the feathered arrows shot by the barbarians was that after those feathered arrows touched the armor, they fell one after another, and they couldn't do any damage to the armor.
Yun Jin's three-edged armor-piercing cone is different, the reason why it can be called an armor-piercing cone, as the name suggests, this thing is used to deal with armor, otherwise, it would not be a three-way coin.
Within 100 steps, the armor-piercing cone is known as the one who is invincible!
The armor-piercing cone entered through his chest with a sharp whistling sound, and the sharp arrow cluster even leaked through the back of the armor soldier, he threw away the long knife in his hand in disbelief, held the arrow shaft exposed in front of his chest with both hands, and pulled the arrow shaft, and the armor-piercing cone did not move.
Yun Jin watched the armor soldier on the opposite side fall to the ground, pulled out his horizontal knife and shouted, and led a team of black barbarians into the white barbarian army.
At the same time, the rest of the armor soldiers were also shot and killed by the squirters hiding in the ranks of the black barbarians, which caused a trace of commotion in the ranks of the white barbarians, which had retreated in an orderly manner.
Without the slaughter of the armor soldiers, the barbarians once again summoned up the courage to kill the enemy's army, and the number of white soldiers on the chaotic battlefield was drastically reduced.
Yun Jin's forward formation breaking task had been completed, so he slowed down, came to the dead white-clothed armor soldier, pressed his hand on the position of the arrow feather, and the armor-breaking cone was smoothly pulled out of the white-clothed armor's chest.
Shake the blood on the armor-breaking cone casually, and the armor-breaking cone will return to Yun Jin's quiver.
Wen Huan hurriedly came to Yun Jin and said, "There are still ten miles away from Midu City. ”
Yun Jin shouted, "Attack forward." ”
This is actually equivalent to saying it in vain, the white barbarian defenders in front collapsed, and a large number of black barbarians chased down in the direction of the white barbarian soldiers' escape.
Cha Hei panted and came to Yun Jin's side and said, "I'm going to kill Shi Bao, this guy didn't listen to the command, and went to Azalea Mountain with a lot of people, and he had no intention of attacking Midu City."
I think he's going to make himself king. ”
Yun Jin looked at the indignant Cha Hei and said, "To tell the truth, do you want to set yourself up as a king?" ”
Cha Hei was stunned for a moment and said: "My subordinates don't have this heart. ”
Wen Huan patted Chahei's shoulder and said, "At this time, you can have." ”
Cha Hei said with an aggrieved face: "I have thought about the second-level shopkeeper, but I have never thought about becoming the king of myself." ”
Wen Huan said to Yun Jin when he heard this: "There should be a degree to test people's hearts, it's good to check the black, and it's good to take it home to be a retainer." ”
Yun Jin nodded and said to Cha Hei: "Take Midu City, and we will go home." ”
Cha Hei was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "There are still a few people here who want to be the boss, so go and tell them the good news, I believe that they will definitely work hard to attack the city." ”
Yun Jin said with a smile: "Tell them, whoever enters Midu City first will be the King of Midu!" ”
