Volume 1丨Jiang is the hometown of Qing The eleventh chapter: Quick, call sister
A group of soldiers from the high kingdom kept whipping the villagers captured from all over the place, all of them were in rags, and Ah Yun was among them.
It was only a month after Liang Zongli and the others left, she was just a little homesick that day, and she didn't know what happened to her father, so she sneaked out of the valley, squatted by the Green River, and looked at the scenery on the other side. In the past, at this time, the millet at home had already been dried and cleaned up, the mother would start to pickle some jerky and sauerkraut, and the father would prepare more firewood for the winter and the New Year.
The villagers of Dustpan Village don't have the slightest guilt for her, a high-ranking person, everyone is a hard-working person, she is a cardamom girl, and she has to support and take care of a few younger brothers and sisters, so the villagers usually help Ah Yun and give her some prey and grains. Ah Yun will bow and thank you when she returns, with tears in her eyes, and thank everyone for your help.
Finally, after recovering from the pain of losing her second brother, she wanted to go to the river to blow the wind, but she didn't want to, and she met a Gao army passing by, no matter how she explained in Gao Guo, the soldiers did not let her go, and after being insulted again, she was taken into this team.
On the way, Ah Yun also tried to escape alone or with a few people, but they were all caught, watching someone being ground alive into meat patties, and then swallowed by a strange person who exuded black gas, she didn't dare to try again, and honestly could only accept her fate.
Three days later, passing by Pingyuan City and walking on the street, Ah Yun wiped her eyes, as if she saw her father, she quickly rushed out of the team, grabbed her father's arm, and her chapped lips made a hoarse sound, Dad, Dad, I'm Ayun, I'm Ayun, save me, save me.
Dad glanced at her, as if he didn't believe it, wiped her face, confirmed that it was his daughter, and just wanted to take her away, she was dragged back by several soldiers who rushed out of the team. Looking at the "black man" on the horse, my father's legs trembled inexplicably, and he stretched out his hand, and then collapsed to the ground, letting Ah Yun and them disappear from his sight.
The team did not stop at Pingyuan City for a while, during which there were constantly people who could not be tortured and did not persevere, and before they could breathe, they were carried by the soldiers into the wild grass and waited for the wild dogs to deal with them. After passing through Linjiang City, they were locked up in a prison cell in a camp, and after a brief cleaning, people came over one after another to fiddle with them like picking cattle, and after paying the money, they would take a few people, most of the men were strong, and the women were a little more beautiful. Ah Yun didn't know where they would be taken, but it was definitely a place where life was worse than death, so she deliberately provoked the soldiers, took a whip, and narrowly escaped.
There were less than ten people left, who were blinded and numb, and were escorted to the bilge of a large ship outside the city, where they were responsible for rocking the oars, giving them only a little food every day, and an hour's rest, and as long as they did not die, they had to keep rowing.
Hanshui, which branched out along the Green River, didn't know how long it took, but the big ship finally docked one day. When Ah Yun and the others saw the light of day again, they found that they were already in a city at the junction of the river and the sea, and they were about to board another big ship.
Someone, maybe unwilling to be humiliated, or maybe they had a premonition, desperately broke free from the soldiers, and before they ran far, they were cut off by the black man from behind, and their bodies ran two more steps because of inertia before they fell, and their painful eyes were mixed with tears, and they rolled down on the dock, and then they were trampled on by the black man.
Someone whispered that this is Lihai, and we won't be taken to the ghost dwarf country, and as he spoke, he began to cry bitterly. It's the first time Ah Yun has heard of Lihai and that dwarf country. Just as he was about to ask, he was whipped by the soldiers and hurried into the cabin.
Fortunately, this time their treatment is much better than the last time, they don't have to do coolies, but there is less food. Ah Yun found that this big ship was full of people like her, captured from all directions, not to mention 2,000 people, and there were nine such ships.
Along the way, Ah Yun gritted his teeth and persevered, until now, he felt that he might have to leave his homeland, and he might never see his father and younger siblings again, and after that person, he suddenly cried bitterly, especially thinking of his father's helpless appearance at that time, and Liang Zongli only said so much before he set out on the expedition, "Wait for me to come back", and the heartbroken Ah Yun fainted directly from crying.
"Hey, how do you sell this bag of rice?"
"70 money, do you want it, if you want it, I'm secretly helping you weigh more." The little girl said to the little boy with a smile, her eyes crooked like crescent moons.
"It's too expensive, my dad went to the city to buy it, and it was only 60 yuan. Can't it be cheaper? ”
"This is our unique japonica rice in Gaoguo, it's really not expensive, my mother said, not a penny less."
This is the first time Ah Yun and Liang Zongli have met, in the boat market of the Green River, the two have no guesses. In the dream, Ah Yun cried and cried and laughed again. If it weren't a dream, how nice it would be.
Compared with the enemy army in Andong City, the number of Gao Guomen who joined forces this time, even if the losses are removed, is almost three times that of the last time, more than 60,000.
With the early morning sun, rising to the top of the mountain in the east, the warm light shines on the white earth, lifting the clouds and mist in the fields and mountain forests, the black queue and phalanx, in the north of the city of Andong, occupy the sight, the sound of drums and footsteps during the march, constantly shake the ground, and the sense of slaughter comes to the face.
On the city wall, one by one the defenders were nervously looking ahead, Situ Changqing and Zhu Yu stood side by side on the city tower, and under the city, the city defense battalion of less than 2,000 people was left with only six teams, ready to wait.
The Gao Guoren showed no sign of camping at all, and planned to break through Andong City in one go. As the distance got closer, the sound of artillery was the first to blow the horn of the battle. In order to deter the other side, the enemy did not spare ammunition and wantonly bombed without any scruples, causing psychological oppression to everyone.
Back in the night three days ago, after receiving the return of the scouts, the enemy's march increased sharply, and appeared under the city of Anton two days earlier than expected.
Zhu Yu summoned everyone and ordered, on the basis of the original city defense battalion, within two days, each of them reorganized and trained twelve teams, tactics, transfers, troop arrangements, weapons, etc., to solve it by herself, she only had one request, slaughtered everything, and waited for the reinforcements mobilized by Cangyang City to arrive, so that they could run in vain to be considered successful.
Everyone looked at each other, this is too hasty. If you give them a little more time, it is not a miracle to destroy the other party, but at this time, even if you are with the brothers of the city defense battalion, through the usual drills, you know whether the third uncle likes to eat salty or sweet, but if you fight together, you have to run in for a few days before you can cooperate and exert your due combat power.
Zhu Yu looked at them, flicked Wei Yi and Wu Bo's clothes with a whip, and asked playfully, "Can you?" ”
Wei Yi and the others, hearing the strings, knew the elegant meaning, and immediately replied: "Yes!" "They don't want to go to the city anymore and just go out for a show.
Then, everyone ran out and hurriedly grabbed people.
In two days, after the twelve people selected their teams, they did nothing, they practiced drums and flags, within the team, between teams, battles, battles, cavalry battles, foot battles, and constantly strengthened cooperation and cooperation. Eating and sleeping are solved on the spot, and they don't stop.
In fact, after more than three months of familiarity, Zhu Yu seemed to have foreseen it, and it was not as difficult as they imagined, but it was unexpectedly smooth, and after a long time of knowing each other and knowing their confidants, even if there were less than 3,000 people, they were indirectly trained by twelve people to twist the butterfly battalion's unique style into a rope.
On the last night, everyone stopped practicing and rested to prepare for the next morning's battle.
Twelve people, with the original or self-promoted guard captains and captains of each team, conducted a military flag drill on the sand table in the battalion. It is the middle of winter, so you can't expect a heavy rain to douse the opponent's artillery, but the southerly wind has been getting stronger and stronger in recent days, and it will more or less affect the accuracy of the enemy's artillery. The terrain in the north of the city is long and narrow, and there are hills and low hills on both sides, which makes the enemy not as free to deploy in the south as last time, and the advantage is that you can use the terrain on both sides to charge the formation, and fight high and low, but it is also easy to get stuck in it, and the abdomen and back are subject to a steady stream of attacks. In addition, the other party has been marching in a hurry, and in the posture of fighting for the life of the trapped beast, it is bound to take Andong City in one fell swoop, which also gives them an opportunity to take advantage of.
After carefully studying the tactics of the second day, the first few guards still had bitter expressions on their faces, but afterwards they felt that this battle was also easy to fight, and they couldn't help but admire these teenagers even more, what kind of people are they.
Just when the Gaoguo people fired the first cannon, I saw that on the city wall, a dense and huge empty lantern rose, burning with fire by the wind, quickly drifting towards the enemy formation, just when tens of thousands of people looked up and looked at it suspiciously, the burned out empty lantern fell down suddenly, and the huge explosions came and went, and the neat queue suddenly became a mess, and the stumps and broken arms splashed everywhere.
At this time, Liang Zongli, who was standing on the top of the mountain, found that a red figure, taking advantage of the explosion, quickly smashed into the Chinese army, and suddenly disappeared in front of him.
The six city defense battalions that remained under the city did not give the enemy a chance to breathe and regroup, and concentrated their fire. When the sound of the explosion gradually died down, the sound of drums was heard on the mountains on both sides of the enemy, and at this time, three cavalry teams rushed out from the east and west sides, and the infantry on the top of the mountain were not idle, and did not hesitate to shoot arrows, and frantically poured down the mountain.
A few soaring falcons, looking at the battlefield, snow, loess, blood, as if wantonly splashing ink, painted a heart-wrenching landscape painting on the earth.
After the cavalry on the mountain rushed in, the cavalry under the city, followed by the sudden change of drums, also rushed over. Bounded by the enemy's central army, soon the large forces were torn in two.
After the cavalry quickly ate the front army, they quickly retreated to the city, and the banner sent an order to the foot soldiers on the mountain, and continued to shoot in turns, obscene consumption.
The enemy was not useless, and quickly regrouped, not caring for the damage caused by the arrows on the mountain, and continued to march towards the city of Andong.
At this time, on the city wall, there was a dense air lantern, the enemy looked up and said goodbye, he had already been frightened, where to care what formation, more chaotic escape scene than just now, and even crowded people, but after the empty light burned out and landed, he looked down and found that it was fake, and when he looked up again, it was obviously too late, the situation of encirclement on three sides had been completed, Jiang Guo's cavalry and foot soldiers had already been killed in front of him, followed by a ruthless slaughter.
Liang Zongli can be said to be the first person here to see with his own eyes that kind of artillery has great destructive power, and he will never forget the power of destroying the world in his life. Those artillery pieces that don't know what structure and material they don't have time to study for the time being, and there are no people in the city who know it, but some of the ammunition captured last time, he can't waste it, plus when they trained the falcon, they suddenly got a little inspiration, and then deliberately found Zhu Yu and discussed a surprise killer idea.
During the battle, no one heard it, and several miles away, there was a constant rumbling sound in the mountains. Two hours later, everyone who was resting on the battlefield saw Zhu Yu appear with two rotten heads, and then casually threw them on the ground, stepping on them one by one.
According to battlefield statistics, the butterfly battalion killed more than 100 people and wounded 300 people. That night, three hundred real empty lanterns were raised on the battlefield to pay tribute to the souls of Jiang Guoying who had returned to the battlefield.
At the celebration banquet, Zhu Yu rarely showed a smiling face, sat in the main seat of the military tent, and looked at those children, and the county guard was only in second place. Whenever someone came to toast, Zhu Yu did not refuse, and in the end, everyone found out that Wen Duwei's alcohol was unfathomable, and he was still bored with himself.
"No, I must listen to this matter, how can you make your own decisions." Situ Changqing stood up suddenly, staring at Zhu Yu angrily, the banquet that was originally eager, suddenly fell a needle, and everyone stared at the two of them.
Zhu Yu smiled contemptuously, raised his feet and stepped on the edge of the table, "I just informed you, not discussed with you." You can give it to whoever you like, but if you take this thing to your emperor Lao'er, he will naturally understand. Saying that, Zhu Yu didn't know what to hand Situ Changqing, the latter looked at it, but didn't find anything new.
Then, Zhu Yu stood up, slammed the wine jar on the table, and said loudly: "Butterfly Battalion, starting today, for the Butterfly Army, seven days later, follow me to destroy the high country, do it!" ”
Everyone didn't react at first, but immediately, the twelve people led by them picked up the wine jar, drank two sips and fell to the ground, "!" ”
Two days later, Cangyang City mobilized troops from all over the city, rushed to the north of Andong City, and found that there had been an extremely "tragic" war here, just when Jiang Quanliang thought that Andong City was broken, the city gate slowly opened, Jiang Quanliang took a few people, puzzled into the city, only to find that this place is still as lively as before, as if the war has never happened, what kind of trouble is this?
On the second day, the sun shone on his face, and there was the sound of birds chirping around, and when he wanted to turn over, he felt something soft in his hand, and then he opened his eyes and found a woman lying in his arms, and he rubbed his eyes to make sure that it was not a dream. I touched my shoulder, the wound had healed, but I didn't see the old man and the young man last night, but the woman in front of him seemed to tell him that yesterday was not a dream.
Chestnut shook the woman who looked particularly good-looking, the other party got up slowly, stretched his waist lazily, the light gauze roamed in the face, and Chestnut looked at it, inexplicably a little hungry.
"Who are you? Why did you sleep with me? What about last night's grandpa? ”
"My life is almost gone, and I'm still worried about others."
Chestnut bit her finger and kept staring at the woman.
"Am I good-looking?"
"Hmm." Chestnut smiled and nodded.
The woman walked around the chestnut, sniffed it, and said, "You don't smell right, are you a human or a demon?" ”
"People, huh? I have two masters, not people. Hey. ”
The woman nodded chestnut's head, "Silly, are you stupid?" ”
"I'm not, I'm only seven years old, and I won't be stupid when I grow up." When the woman heard this, she was only seven years old, is the human race developing so fast now?
"And what's your name?"
"Chestnuts, the chestnuts that fry the chestnuts."
"Oh, my name is Yoyo, I will be your sister in the future, quick, call sister, give you honey to eat."
"Hey, sister."
"Well, that's good. Let's go, my sister will take you to play. ”
While teasing the chestnuts, the woman was talking to another woman in her heart, "Sister Yoyo, this human race, it doesn't seem to be simple, you better stay away from him." ”
"Oh, little sister, don't worry, sister, I know it in my heart, you are honestly waiting for me at home, good."
"Second sister doesn't know where to go, haven't you seen her these days?"
"Uh......, don't worry, even if Hua Mei is in danger, who dares to provoke her, click, kick it all, haha."
The woman took a little fool to the bottom of yesterday's volcano, and some animals, unable to run due to injuries, remained in place, and kept hissing in pain.
Every time the woman saw one, whether it was a meat eater or a herbivore, she squatted down, gently smoothed the wound with her hands, and then watched them run away alive, and did not forget to tell them to have more cubs in the future, and often come to me to play. Chestnut was on the side, looking at it fascinatedly, and then touched the wound, presumably yesterday, it was also my sister who healed herself.
After working for a long time, the woman climbed to the top of the mountain with chestnuts, and occasionally the mountain would tremble faintly. When passing by a tree with a crooked neck, the woman also picked honey and threw it to the chestnuts, saying that my sister didn't lie to you, eat it, eat it, little fool.
The chestnut climbed such a mountain, without any difficulty, and the jump and movement were very smooth, but the woman, as if a little reckless, almost fell down several times, fortunately the chestnut was quick, held her in her arms, and continued to hurry.
The woman smiled and said, is the little fool still very sorry for his sister, really good, I'll give you a baby later. Chestnut scratched his head and giggled.
In less than half an hour, the two finally climbed to the top of the mountain, overlooking down, the dense mountain forest was at their feet, and the green river meandered through, like a green belt, tightly tying Jiangxi Mountain and the endless plains in the distance.
Chestnut looked at the vast world and couldn't help but open his mouth and shout, wow~~~
Not to be outdone, the woman shouted, trying to overpower the chestnut's voice.
When Chestnut saw it, he raised his voice again, and the two of them fought back and forth like this.
The volcano, which was already quiet, began to faintly attack again at this time, and the woman stuck out her tongue and reminded the chestnut, quick, carrying my sister on her back, the baby is below.
The chestnut immediately carried her on her back and jumped into the crater quickly, the mountain soil under her feet was getting hotter and hotter, fortunately, with the blessing of the vermilion fish, the chestnut did not feel uncomfortable, which also made the woman slightly surprised in her heart.
Soon, coming to the magma pool at the bottom, the woman pointed to a pale blue stone floating on it and asked Chestnut to hold it. Chestnut didn't think about it, so he jumped in, and was about to pick it up with his hand, as if it was hot, and withdrew his hand again.
"Sister, it's cool." In Chestnut's memory, it seems that a few years ago, when it snowed for the first time in the village, he felt that feeling when he touched the snow.
"Oh, it's useless, and I can't eat you, hurry up and bring it, quickly."
"Oh." Chestnut reached out again, endured the discomfort, and held it tightly in his hand. Without stones, the magma pool immediately became agitated, and the woman reminded Chestnut to carry her out quickly, otherwise they would not be able to get out of the place after a while.
Chestnut hurriedly picked up the woman, riveted her strength, and almost flew out, and as soon as she got out of the mountain pass, the magma under rushed out.
The woman's head was pressed against the chestnut's face, and the chestnut could clearly hear the woman's breathing, as well as the strong fragrance on her body, and for the first time in her life, she blushed.
The woman shouted, come on chestnuts, come on, haha.
The two of them landed safely on the distant tree at the bottom of the mountain, and the woman clapped her hands and cheered as she looked at the volcano that erupted again.
Chestnut handed the cool stone to her sister, and the woman said, "Didn't my sister tell you, give you a gift, and be obedient in the future, and my sister will give you something fun." Chestnut touched his head, embarrassed, and only said, "Hehe, thank you, sister." ”
The woman said, "Stretch out your left hand." Chestnut honestly stretched out his hand, and then the woman gently pinched his thumb and clicked, and cyan blood beads came out, "Quick, drip onto the stone." The chestnut immediately did so, and then the stone sucked the blood, as if it had a burp, and after emitting a faint blue light, it completely turned into a gray rotten stone.
Chestnut stared at the woman suspiciously, and just as she wanted to speak, she fell from the tree with a headache and rolled on the ground.
"Hee-hee, it's done!"
