Chapter 51: The Thief
As soon as the cavalry on the opposite side retreated, the foot soldiers were slowly retreating because of the momentum.
"Kill!" Far away, Xu Cheng roared again and again, leading the crowd to kill from the east.
This also became the last straw that crushed them.
The people of Mixian turned around and fled.
Wei Shan shouted: "Don't miss the opportunity, it's today to break through the secret city!" ”
How could Li Yue let them go? The heart is hot, if you can directly enter Mi County, all the problems will be solved.
But after chasing for a while, it feels a little wrong, don't look at the other party's mess, run very fast, pick up the rugged path, every time you see it in front of you, but you can't catch up.
After entering the mountains, perhaps the physical strength decreased, and the other party slowed down.
However, your physical strength also decreases quickly.
Looking at the surrounding hills and ravines, Li Yue suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.
The other party is not without the strength to fight, but he turns around and runs.
Generally speaking, the fleeing side will lose their armor, but they will flee with their weapons firmly in hand.
"General, beware of tricks to lure the enemy!" Xu Cheng came panting from behind.
"Stop!" Li Yue hurriedly ordered.
The tooth flags around him were subdued, and the soldiers shouted loudly: "Stop! ”
The soldiers looked back blankly, puzzled, but finally stopped.
The people of Mi County have disappeared into the hills and dense forests.
It was quiet, not even a birdsong, and it was a little stuffy.
Cold sweat oozed from Li Yue's forehead, the development of Heiyun Mountain has been too smooth in the past few months, eating Jijiabao, annexing the displaced people and bandits, and expanding three times compared to Heiyun Mountain in Zhao Guang's era.
But that doesn't mean that everything around is so weak.
Thinking about it carefully, Ji Jiabao's strength is not bad, and he almost wiped out all the eight hundred elites in Fangtou, if it weren't for Ji Yong's public announcement of surrendering to the slaves and losing the hearts of the people, I am afraid that it will cost more to break through the dock fort.
"Retreat!" Li Yue made a quick decision.
A defeat can make Heiyun Mountain lose to the bottom, and he will never recover.
The tooth flag was erected and shook backwards, and the soldiers retreated step by step.
The woods were still quiet.
However, Li Yue still heard a "buzzing" sound, as if a swarm of bees was flapping its wings.
It was the sound of countless bowstrings pulling.
Then, countless figures appeared among the trees, and they were actually men, women, and children who went into battle together, forming a semi-encircled trend.
Fortunately, Li Yue discovered that something was wrong in time, and after taking more than thirty steps forward, he completely entered their ambush circle.
"The thieves of Heiyun Mountain listen, on the orders of Zhang Tingshi, exterminate Er, etc., surrender with their hands tied, and only punish Li Yue and Bo Wu, if they resist, there will be no chickens and dogs left up and down Heiyun Mountain!" A man in the forest drank heavily.
The sound came with the autumn wind.
History of thorns? Li Yue was shocked in his heart, Sizhou is the name of the Jin people, the capital of Wei and Jin is Luoyang, and the Sili School Governor's Mansion near Luoyang is mentioned as Sizhou.
Shile founded the country, Luoyang was not the national capital, and it was changed to Luozhou.
However, the hearts of the people in the south of the river are still in the Jiangdong Imperial Court, and they still habitually refer to the area around Luoyang as Sizhou.
There can only be one thorn history near Xuanyuan Mountain and Mi County - Zhang Yu, the thorn history of Yuzhou!
The expansion of Heiyun Mountain did not attract the attention of Yecheng, but it aroused the vigilance of Zhang Yu in Xuchang.
If he sets his sights on Heiyun Mountain, then the strategy of southward expansion will also be bankrupt.
No matter how arrogant Li Yue is, it is impossible to confront a big state.
At least not yet.
Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense, why are there four teams besieging him at the same time, why Xuanyuan Mountain is suddenly hostile to Heiyun Mountain, and the driving force behind it is this Yuzhou assassin Zhang Yu.
Now it seems that Xuanyuan Mountain got a rabble to come up, but it was actually perfunctory.
Heiyun Mountain's annexation of Jijiabao is small and small, and it will not attract the attention of Yecheng, but it is said to be big and big, and it will definitely arouse the vigilance of Yuzhou.
All kinds of thoughts were running around in Li Yue's mind, but the soldiers were emotionally stable, retreating step by step, and the formation was not chaotic at all.
Suddenly, there was a "buzz" in the forest, and countless sharp arrows swept up from the forest like flying locusts, tearing through the blue sky with black pressure.
And then it fell densely.
The clanging clanged, and the shield iron armor blocked a large part, but the people in the middle of the formation wearing leather armor and no armor suffered, and there were bursts of screams, and more than twenty people were killed on the spot, and many more were injured, without saying a word.
Fortunately, the range of the bow and arrow is only enough for this time.
On the hills, the enemy poured out in dense clusters, men, women and children, old and weak, women and children, no less than 10,000 people, carrying forks, hoes, and some with kitchen knives in their hands.
The crowd was also mixed with soldiers.
It is clear that these civilians are being treated as consumables of war.
"Kill the thief!" Everyone's face has a posture of disagreement.
Li Yue's heart sank, not because he was afraid of their momentum, but because the "killing thieves" was quite harsh......
Maybe whether it is Qian Zhao or Jiangdong, Heiyun Mountain is just a gang of thieves in their eyes.
"It's not Zhang Yu's own arrival, you can fight!" Wei Shan pulled up the long knife, his eyes full of murder.
persuaded the man to say, "On the order of Zhang Tingshi", it means that Zhang Yu did not come, he came, and it was not these old and weak women and children who went into battle.
"Zhang Yu didn't come and was halfway there, you can't stay here for a long time, let's retreat."
This kind of bitter battle without interest cannot be fought.
Mi County is the northwest gateway of Xuchang, and it is impossible for Zhang Yu to let it fall into the hands of others.
Once caught in a tug-of-war with Zhang Yu, how could it be possible to consume the entire Yuzhou with a small black cloud mountain?
The other party was loud, but he didn't dare to really attack, and sent the Black Cloud Mountain people back to Weishui, and they retreated.
You have been tossing back and forth for so long, and there are not many casualties on both sides.
It's as if they're just cooperating with each other and acting in a play.
The people of Xuanyuan Mountain are acting, and the people of Mi County don't seem to have the determination to fight bloodily.
But that's good, everyone knows it.
It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other? They are all Han people, why bother working hard for the Qiang people?
Li Yue looked at the rushing water, laughed, and made the surrounding guards inexplicable, "Build a water fort in this deep ditch and high fortress." ”
Expansion to the south is not possible in the short term.
Li Yue now only hopes that Zhang Yu will not come over, and the deep ditch and high base are to tell him that he only wants to hold the territory of Heiyun Mountain Bishui Fort.
Today's events also made Li Yue sober up a lot and knew what he lacked.
In addition to the Karma people, there are also various forces large and small in the vicinity.
There is also a Xingyang Taishou on top of his head.
If the name is not right, it is not good, sandwiched between the two major forces, there is only a slogan without a name, it is difficult to mix, even if it has a certain strength, in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, it is just a "thief".
This is the reality and the rules of this age.
Zu Ti and Li Ju have set off such a big momentum, aren't they also controlled by Jiangdong?
There is a saying in "Wei Xuanzi": Soldiers, take martial arts as plants, and literature as seeds. Wu is the table, and the text is the inside. Be able to judge these two and know the difference between victory and defeat.
War is a continuation of politics, and brute force will definitely not work, even if the blood of Heiyun Mountain is dry, it will be difficult to open up the situation.
Li Yue pondered whether to send someone to Jiangdong to get the appointment of the Sima family.
But when I think about it, what is my identity?
Will the Koto Imperial Court look up to itself?
Even if he gets the appointment of Jiangdong, I am afraid that the people of Yecheng will come in a blink of an eye.
At the moment, it seems like a dead end.
