Chapter Seventy-One: Talents
The Xin Cangshi clan was born and should have a common language with the Jiangdong gang.
I didn't report much hope, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and there are dates without dates.
The situation changes with the strength, and it is impossible for Heiyun Mountain to be framed by two mountains, and the expansion and enterprising have been carved into the bone marrow by Li Yue.
The rules of the game in this world are that if you don't advance, you die!
Sending Xin Cang to say hello is to make a familiar face.
The immediate priority is to digest Xuanyuan Mountain as soon as possible and meet Zhang Yu's counteroffensive.
The soldiers and young men on the mountain were gathered together and surrounded half of the mountain.
The original large village of five or six thousand people was killed in a war, and seven or eight hundred people fled.
Under him are all old and weak women and children with yellow muscles and muscles, and even the soldiers are as thin as bamboo poles, which shows that life on the mountain is not easy.
Li Yue has always disdained empty words, and directly asked his soldiers to set up a nine-mouth cauldron, which was boiled with meat porridge, the meat was a wild boar shot by the scouts, and the porridge was corn in the treasury, sprinkled with some salt, and after a while, the aroma rose.
There are many wild asses in Heiyun Mountain, and there are many wild boars here, which can grow to weigh four or five hundred catties, and they are still in groups.
Wild wolves and wild dogs had eaten dead corpses, and Li Yue was afraid of being infected with the plague, so he only let the scouts skin them.
The children drooled greedily, but they didn't dare to move.
"From now on, Xuanyuan Mountain of Heiyun Mountain is a family, and if I Li Yue has a bite to eat, I will never let you wait for hunger!"
The more simple the words, the more they can resonate with them.
In this year, don't mention the righteousness of the family and the country, first eat and drink enough to survive, and then there is anything else.
In the face of hunger, cold, plague, and war, people are no longer human, and naturally they will not have feelings for their family and country.
After Li Yue finished speaking, no one dared to move, so he could only let the scouts give it to them.
Some people use black broken pottery bowls, some people use bamboo pockets, and some people simply use their hands, and they don't care if they are red.
After drinking the soup, an old man began to cry.
The crying immediately infected the others, and the old people and children cried.
"Don't hide it from the general, the old man and the old man haven't smelled meat for more than 20 years, and Yongjia still ate a few bites of white meat that year."
What is white meat, Li Yue can make up for it in his brain, the Yongjia Rebellion, the world is boiling, where will there be normal meat to eat?
There are many wild beasts around Xuanyuan Mountain, but they will never be eaten by the elderly and children.
After eating, everyone's faces became enthusiastic.
Xuanyuan Mountain has the secret support of the Zheng family, and has been run by Guo Shi for decades.
There are more than 500 sets of leather armor, more than 2,000 spearheads, more than 800 ring-headed knives, and more than 900 pairs of bows.
What surprised Li Yue the most was that there was no shortage of food in Xuanyuan Mountain, and the warehouses of the major leaders had a lot of private goods stored in them, such as salt, wine, corn, and pickles, which was enough for the people on the mountain to live comfortably for a whole year......
With these things, Li Yue is not afraid of Zhang Yuwei Mountain.
On the contrary, I was looking forward to his arrival.
In addition to these survival necessities, there is also a small library on the mountain.
Five chaotic flowers, well-dressed to the south, but not all of them can cross to the south, and it is normal for their books to be left in the mountains.
The bamboo slips themselves are also possessions.
But now Li Yue didn't have the heart to browse, the latest news brought back by the scout, Zhang Yu's army rushed to Mi County, the two groups of men and horses together, more than 10,000, and the vanguard 3,000 horsemen were on the way to Xuanyuan Mountain.
The 3,000 young men who had been feinted by Zhou had already retreated to Heiyun Mountain, and according to Li Yue's order, they cleared the wilderness in Heiyun Mountain and Bishui Fort.
Two days later, Zhang Yu's army arrived and gathered at the foot of the mountain.
The regular army was not as imposing as the bandits, well-equipped, sturdy, and at least eight hundred cavalrymen, all of whom were genuine high-sized horses.
However, in mountain warfare, cavalry did not play a big role.
The banner was unfurled at the foot of the mountain, the armor was shining, and the soldiers were high-spirited.
Compared to them, Li Yue felt that he was leading a group of beggars......
Zhang Yu took great pains to fight for this battle, and also prepared a catapult, which was pushed to the foot of the mountain by the people for more than 50 years.
"The thieves on the mountain listen, surrender now, you can still wait for you to die, if you wait until you attack the mountain, the chickens and dogs will not be left."
More than a dozen armor soldiers shouted in front of the mountain pass.
Xu Cheng led people down the mountain and scolded: "If you have a kind of waiting, you will come to attack the mountain!" ”
Zhang met so many people and horses, all the way from Xuchang, of course, he would not give up.
There was not much nonsense, a few stones whistling across the sky and landing under the pass, and the defenders pointed at the catapult and laughed.
Li Yue scolded, "They are testing the range, what are you laughing at, hide quickly." ”
Sure enough, the second round of artillery came soon.
Like fried beans, it smashed on a narrow pass.
With a "boom", the wooden beam could not withstand the continuous blows of the cannon, and fell down, raising a puff of dust.
There were almost no casualties, but there was jubilation at the foot of the mountain.
"General!" Xu Cheng scooped Li Yue out of the dust.
"It doesn't matter." Li Yue spat out a mouthful of dust, and saw that there were no casualties around, so he didn't blame Xu Cheng for the tofu scum project.
There was a burst of smashing below, and another rain of arrows was fired.
It is dense, covering the sky and the sun, and the mountain cannot raise its head.
More than 300 armor soldiers of the enemy army began to attack the mountain under the cover of a rain of arrows.
On the earth ramparts and on the dead trees, there were feathered arrows everywhere, like branches growing from dead trees.
Rich people fight wars differently......
The arrows of Heiyun Mountain are reluctant to shoot, and if they are shot, they will be retrieved, which is like today, and they don't need money.
The enemy armor began to climb the mountain, and the first pass was not steep, but when they were about to approach, the soles of their feet suddenly emptied, and the first six or seven people fell in......
The enemy was in a panic.
At this moment, Xu Cheng came out with a knife and shouted: "Kill!" ”
The death camp that had been waiting for a long time swarmed up.
Holding a shield, a short axe, and a halberd, it was a flurry of bumps and chops when he went up.
They were unkempt, ragged, and many of them were barefoot, but they were extremely fierce, and as soon as they attacked, they were like dying with the enemy, and they didn't take their lives seriously at all.
The art of war is cloudy: it means that the enemy forgets himself, and he will die or live.
The more people on the battlefield put life and death aside, the longer they live.
Although the enemy had a large number of troops, they could not spread out on the rugged mountain road, and after the first few people were knocked over, the people behind were blocked.
Li Yue's blood boiled in the back, although this Xu Cheng was ugly in appearance and short in person, he had a flexible mind, first used a trap to make the enemy panic, and then took the initiative to attack with light shields and heavy weapons.
maximized his own advantages, and every move of the enemy was calculated by him.
In less than a stick of incense, the enemy soldiers threw down dozens of corpses and fled in a hurry.
Xu Cheng did not pursue, but hurriedly asked the people of the death camp to clean up the battlefield.
Iron armor, weapons, clothing......
A moment later, the dozens of corpses were stripped naked, and the technique was extremely skillful.
The others hurriedly pulled out the feather arrows from the ground and trees, and carried them back into the pass one by one.
The death battalion happily retreated, draped the things he got on himself, a little nondescript......
"Erta, one day will be a general!" Li Yue stroked Xu Cheng's back with his hand and praised him without hesitation.
This battle was fought so beautifully, even if Li Yue came by himself, he might not be able to achieve this point.
Envious glances were cast around.
"Thank you for the cultivation!" Xu Cheng was polite.
He didn't read a single book on soldiers, but he was so old and spicy in using soldiers, and he was born a general.
Although it was only a small victory, it was a great blow to the arrogance of the other party.
The morale of the other party was a little low, the war drums were not as loud as just now, and the soldiers were not as arrogant as they were just now.
