"Array up!"
Seeing that they seemed to be intending to attack the military camp, Yuan Qing's face turned cold, and he suddenly raised his hand and ordered to the soldiers behind him.
"stop!"
Lan Bailu's expression changed several times in a row, and he finally felt that this general seemed a little different from the generals they had encountered before.
Although the King of Changsha is the great king of Changsha, the number of Han people in Changsha is actually very limited.
The barbarian forces on all sides are complicated, but because of the harsh living conditions of these barbarians, they themselves have been fighting for many years.
Coupled with the several armies in the hands of the King of Changsha, the combat power is really weak.
After years of fighting and merging with each other, the forces of both sides have reached a strange balance.
The Changsha King's army would not take the initiative to attack these mountain people, and even had a good relationship with them.
The mountain people sometimes hunted prey and brought them to the military camp to exchange daily necessities such as salt, iron pots, etc. with the soldiers.
The Lan Family Village is also a famous village in the nearby mountains and forests. For them, it is normal for all the people to join the army.
The harsh living environment has honed their survival skills. When these men were in their teens, they began to follow their parents and travel back and forth in the mountains and forests to catch prey.
So once a fight breaks out, all the men in the tribe often pick up bows and arrows and attack.
Taking this Lan family village as an example, if their combatable soldiers were added together, there would be more than a thousand Ling Ling Zongzong. In addition, these people lived in harsh mountains and rivers, so naturally they were not afraid of death.
They have been living like this for decades, so this gave those mountain people the courage to compete with the army.
This expert can tell if there is one as soon as he reaches out his hand. Lan Bailu has dealt with the Han army a lot over the years.
As soon as he saw the murderous aura on those Shenwu Army soldiers, he already felt something was wrong.
"Do you want to challenge the majesty of our Han army?"
Yuan Qing looked at Lan Bailu with a sneer.
"Master, what are we afraid of them? This is our own place. Either give us something in exchange, or let them get out!"
"Yes, Lord! We are not afraid of them! When have we, the people of the Lan Family Village, ever been afraid of the Han people!"
Although Lan Bailu is the clan leader, it is really difficult to restrain these violent mountain men.
"Hmph! Come here, set up the artillery for me. If you cross this line even one step, you will be killed without mercy!"
After Yuan Qing finished speaking, he turned back to the military camp.
It seems that if I don't establish my authority today, I will be able to bully all kinds of cats and dogs from now on.
"This general stays!"
Seeing that Yuan Qing was about to leave, Lan Bailu quickly stopped him.
"What? What else do you have to say?"
"General, are you really unwilling to take a step back? This place belongs to us. Even if we take it back, it is understandable. Do you really want to go to war with us?"
After Lanbailu hesitated for a moment, he still said.
"Do you know where this place is? When have you ever heard that soldiers will negotiate terms with others? I still say the same thing, anyone who crosses this line will be killed without mercy!"
Yuan Qing sneered and returned directly to the military camp.
Since they came to Lingnan, this artillery has been placed in the warehouse, and Yuan Qing also wants to know how powerful this thing is.
Seeing Yuan Qing actually leaving like this, Lan Bailu was stunned on the spot.
This was the first time they had encountered a Han general who was so disrespectful to them. Lan Bailu could vaguely sense that something was wrong with Yuan Qing and the others.
But the mountain people behind him were different. To them, the Han people's behavior was an insult.
There were originally some conflicts between the two tribes. After all, they were too poor and not good at farming. Therefore, they often suffered some losses when they went down the mountain to trade with the Han people.
In this back and forth, friction is naturally inevitable.
Now, seeing that Yuan Qing didn't take Lan Bailu seriously at all, these people were about to explode.
And in the woods not far away, Feng Yizhuo and dozens of guards were watching the excitement.
He also wants to know now what Yuan Qing will do.
If Yuan Qing and the others kill these barbarians, then they will stir up a hornet's nest.
After all, the places where these barbarians lived were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the King of Changsha had originally thought of wiping them out completely.
But in the end, not to mention the heavy casualties, they still couldn't do anything to those barbarians, even if they, the soldiers of the Dai Kingdom, were strong in combat.
So what if you can't hit anyone?
"Sir, do you think they will fight?"
Several guards nearby were impatient.
"Fight? Let me lend him some courage!"
Feng Yizhuo said with a sneer.
"Come for me! Give them a tough one, but be careful. No one is allowed to enter the military camp. Just burn down their walls!"
In the end, Lan Bailu chose to fight. After all, although he was the clan leader, he still had to feed these mountain people!
What Feng Yizhuo promised them was a hundred loads of grain!
If they can get this, they won't have to worry about food for at least a year or two.
This is too tempting for them!
There are too many uncertainties in hunting.
In addition, the village is getting bigger and bigger, and the prey in this mountain forest is starting to become less and less.
If they don't think of a solution, they will have no choice but to watch the people in their village go hungry.
"promise!"
After hearing Lan Bailu's words, the mountain people immediately screamed and took off their bone knives and simple bows and arrows.
Shouting, he lit torches and began to charge towards the Han army's barracks.
"Do they really dare to come?"
Yuan Qing, who returned to the military camp, also frowned. This was the first time he saw such a bold thing.
These people are not Han Chinese!
"Lord Captain, what should we do?"
The soldiers below all looked at Yuan Qing.
"What are you doing standing still? Now that they have attacked the military camp, what are you waiting for? Fire!"
Looking at the artillery lined up in a row, Yuan Qing's heart was filled with excitement, and he couldn't wait to see how powerful this thing was.
As a general, there is no one who doesn't like these things, especially a young captain like him.
"promise!"
Each soldier in the gunpowder battalion would have a few ordinary soldiers to help. Soon, ten cannons had been aimed at the open space in front of the mountain people.
"put!"
Following Yuan Qing's order.
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
There was a sound like thunder, and round cannonballs flew out one after another. The powerful cannonballs opened bloody alleys directly among the ranks of the mountain people...
The smell of blood in the air suddenly became stronger. Looking at the tragic scene, Lan Bailu's body couldn't help but tremble.
"Clan, clan, clan father..."
