Chapter 787: Homestead

In the endless mountains, the woods are dense and the ancient trees are towering to the sky, even if it is daytime, the shade of the trees is dim and dark, and it is difficult to see the light of day.

The sun is slanting in the west, gradually turning into dusk.

Alamo, the king of Xiou, walked through the forest with a cold face, until he reached the end of this mountain forest.

It is a towering mountain cliff.

He stood on a boulder at the top of the hill and looked out over the vast expanse of land beneath the mountain in the distance.

"Our home."

Alamo whispered.

That land was once the Ouren rice field.

Now a crop called winter wheat is grown, which was brought by the Qin people.

Alamo's gaze shifted.

In the vicinity of the farmland, there is a village of the Ou people, which was once full of joy and beauty.

But it all came to an end as countless Qin armies launched attacks against them from both east and north.

Alamo ordered all the clansmen to retreat, avoiding the direction in which the Qin army was advancing.

The Ou people hurriedly harvested the rice in the fields, took the grain stored at home and everything they could bring, helped the old and the young, and went into the mountains to the west.

The reason for this was because they were well aware of the strength of the Qin army.

The blades of the Qin people were sharper than in the first invasion, and they also mastered the strange weapons to restrain Luo Yue's war elephants, and in just one confrontation, they frightened King Luo and Ah Tu Gu into fleeing south.

The powerful Minyue and Nanyue were captured by the Qin people, and Dongou took the initiative to surrender, how should the broken Xiou resist the Qin army?

The Great Witch received a sign from the frog god that the Ou people were about to be destroyed, which intensified the fear in their hearts.

When the results of the divination were made public to the elders of several clans, the elders of the clans held their own opinions.

Some elders said that they might not have to resist the Qin army, surrender like the South Vietnamese tribes and Minyue, and become the subjects of the Qin people, so that they could continue the race of the Ou people.

"Surrender to the Qin? Have you forgotten how Argus died? Have you forgotten how Song died? ”

"Qin people, can you believe it?"

"Can we forget our hatred with the Qin people?"

Immediately, there were other old refuts, and all kinds of questions were raised.

The voices of the capitulationists died down, and they could not refute it.

This time the Qin army marched south, the king of Minyue, Wu Zhu, died, and the king of Nanyue, Agus, also died.

The Qin people destroyed the two Yue Kingdoms, and there was no ending for the Yue King to survive.

Especially the king of Nanyue, Agus, the Ou people heard that he was cut off by the Qin people, cut off his nose and legs, and finally chopped into meat sauce by a knife, and his death was extremely terrible, which frightened many people.

In addition, the former King of Xiou translated the Song Dynasty, and he was killed because of the tricks of the Qin people.

After coming and going, the image of the Qin people in the hearts of the Ou people is greedy, cruel, treacherous, and unbelievable.

Coupled with the hatred left over from the past few years of attacking and killing each other, the road to surrender was blocked.

Some people suggested abandoning their homeland and going to Luo Yue.

Again, there is opposition.

The Yue people were not peaceful, and before the arrival of the Qin army, there were still various contradictions between the national tribes.

Xi'ou and Luo Yue once fought each other a few times because of the clansmen's competition for prey.

Once the Ou people abandon their homes and go south to seek refuge in Luo Yue, they need to rely on the supply of the other party, and they are very likely to become Luo Yue's vassals or even slaves. And even if they take refuge in Luo Yue, when the Qin people go south, they still can't escape.

In the end, the king of Xi'ou, Alamo, made a decision, and the clansmen fled into the mountains and forests, using the cover of the mountains to avoid the Qin people's troops.

They could wait for the Qin army to be arrogant, abandon the Ou people, and attack Luo Yue in the south, as they did in the first Qin-Yue War, so that the Ou people could attack from behind and replicate the victory of the first war.

The decision was made, but when the Ou people evacuated their homes, the old Xiou Dawu was reluctant to leave.

"I am old, and I don't want to give up this land where my ancestors have lived for generations, and I don't want our tribe to perish. I will curse them with my life, and I will curse all the Qin people who enter this land to rot into mud and die here forever! ”

The Great Witch of Western Europe gathered dozens of elders of the clan who were willing to die.

In the place of worship to the gods, they swallowed the poisonous frog and uttered the most vicious curse in the world with a croaking sound.

Alamo wiped away tears and left with the rest of his people.

They did not burn down the house because they believed that the curse of the Great Witch would cause the Qin people to suffer heavy losses, and that they would be able to regain their lost homes sooner or later.

But a long time has passed since the Qin army captured the city of Xiou Wang, and the Ouren warriors who ventured out of the mountains to investigate came back to report that the Qin army had not undergone any major changes, and the number was still large, and the army was neat, so that people did not dare to approach easily.

At the same time, during this time, the Qin army divided its troops in an orderly manner and occupied several large settlements of the Xiou people.

These foreign invaders built fortress walls in the Ouren villages, and at the same time reclaimed the farmland of the Ou people, and planted the unique winter wheat of the Qin people, with a posture of taking root here for a long time.

The Great Witch's curse didn't work, much to the horror of Alamo and the others.

The Qin people were able to block the curse issued by the Great Witch with their lives!

Did the frog god really abandon his people?

Compared with the failure of the curse, what made Alamo feel even more frightened was that the Qin army did not go into the mountains to chase and kill the Ou people as he predicted, let alone make a move to attack Luo Yue in the south.

It's like nothing happened, they should build roads, they should farm and farm, and they completely ignore their original masters!

Outright ignorance!

Alamo felt a big breath in his chest.

If the Qin people don't act like this, it is equivalent to having no flaws, even if the Ou people want to fight back, they can't find a chance.

At the same time, several elders expressed their concerns.

"The Qin people did not attack Luo Yue, nor did they enter the mountains to pursue us. But many of the old people and children of the tribes died during this time. The wild beasts on several of the mountains were hunted clean by our warriors, and the wild vegetables that could be eaten in the soil were almost dug up. Much of the remaining grain was damp, and it seemed that it would last for two or three months at most. ”

There are too many Migrating Ou people, tens of thousands of people of all ages, far away from the familiar villages and their surroundings, entering unfamiliar mountains, and it is a cold dry season, which is also a difficult challenge for the Ou people.

The elderly and children first died uncontrollably, and then there was a food crisis.

Tens of thousands of Ou people gather in a limited place, but it is more resource-intensive than living in various places.

Maybe they will be able to survive for a while longer, but next year?

Without farmland to farm, what will they eat in the future?

Without the Qin people chasing and doing, the Ou people will die in the mountains.

Perhaps there will be a group of people left behind from this land cultivated by their ancestors for generations, and go to the farther mountains and forests to open up a new home.

But more Ou people will most likely turn into dust on the road.

"Qin people. It's all these hateful invaders who have made us lose our homes! ”

Alamo stood on the cliff and let out a low roar.

"We're going to take it back! Take back the land where our ancestors lived for generations and take back our homeland! Kick out these hateful Qin people! ”

"Drive the Qin people out!"

In the mountains and forests behind Alamo, one figure after another appeared.

They were clad in leather clothes or captured Qin armor, holding various weapons in their hands, and their faces were tattooed with blood-colored frog patterns, or the totems of other tribes.

The number of Ou people is extremely large, densely packed, and there are 15,000 people.

This is the last of their troops.

It is also their only hope of reclaiming their homeland.

Alamo glanced again at the Qin fortress below the mountain, it was a building made of stone and wood, and from a high vantage, he could see a black figure swaying nearby, far away, like a small ant.

Alamo took a deep breath and raised his arms and shouted, "Warriors of the Ou people, we want to reclaim the land of our ancestors and reclaim our homeland!" ”

"For the sake of the homeland, fight to the end with the Qin people!"

With a shout from the King of Xiou.

Tens of thousands of people in the West Ouyue echoed in a low voice, buzzing in the forest.

With bloodthirsty and crazy looks on their faces, one by one they ran towards the path down the mountain.

This night, the Ou people will fight for their homeland!
