Five thousand Han soldiers rode on horses and launched a wave of attacks on the barbarians in front. Wave after wave of offensives finally completely defeated the psychological defenses of the Manchu soldiers.
The barbarian leader Agule led his cronies to hide in the secret passage in the mountain stronghold, and waited for the Han soldiers to climb over from the foot of the mountain before they dared to quietly leave the stronghold through another path.
This passage was originally used as an escape route when escaping, but now it has become an escape passage for the barbarian leader.
"Hurry up and stop dawdling!"
Looking at the dozen or so cronies following him, the barbarian leader yelled loudly.
"But chief, it seems those Han troops haven't gone far yet..." One of the barbarian warriors whispered.
"What are you afraid of? Do you want to die?" The barbarian leader glared at him so fiercely that the warrior immediately shut his mouth.
"Let's go, what will I do if you all leave! Who will stay with me?" The barbarian leader cursed and took the lead in rushing towards the depths of the secret passage. The remaining dozen people had no choice but to follow them and ran all the way to the mountain village. At the end, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chief, can we get rid of those Han people this time?"
A slightly younger barbarian warrior gasped.
"Hmph, it's so easy. Even if you run away, you still have to fight back!"
Agule gritted his teeth and said: "Those damn Han people dared to chase me and caused me heavy losses. If this were not the case, do you think I would be willing to run away?"
"Chief, don't worry, when we catch those Han people, we will cut them into pieces to avenge the leader!"
The young barbarian warrior said: "Those Han people don't deserve to live in this world at all!"
"Well, those Han people should die!" said the barbarian leader: "This will be worthy of my loss!"
Agule stared at the cliff in front of him bitterly: "It's a pity that we don't know what that damn man looks like. If I knew what he looked like, I would definitely tear him into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"
As soon as Agule finished speaking, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from beside him.
"Who? Who is it?" He was shocked, and he quickly drew out the short knife from his waist and stabbed behind him.
However, the black shadow had long since disappeared, leaving only a faint fragrance floating in the air.
"Oh my god, ghost!" The barbarian warriors screamed one after another, turned around and wanted to run back, but were stopped by Agule: "Stop it all!"
"Why are you panicking?" Agule asked with a frown, "Didn't you see a stone tablet there?"
After hearing Agul's words, everyone followed his gaze and saw a stone tablet erected next to the cliff twenty or thirty meters away from them. Although it was dilapidated, the words on it could be vaguely made out - —The Tomb of the Barbarians!
"All the heroes buried on this mountain are our barbarian heroes!" Agule shouted sharply, and at the same time he pulled out the scimitar on his waist: "So, you are not allowed to talk nonsense anymore!"
After everyone heard this, they became quiet.
Agule sneered, turned around and continued walking forward, followed closely by his cronies.
"Why did you stop us just now?"
A barbarian warrior asked with some confusion.
"Idiot!" Agule couldn't help but cursed: "That thing came out of nowhere, it must be the work of the Han people! Have you forgotten the monster just now? If it hadn't suddenly appeared, you would still be here now. Can you stand here and talk?"
The barbarian warrior seemed a little aggrieved and muttered, "But if it's so dangerous, why do we continue to move forward?"
"Stupid!" Agule couldn't help but said: "The Han people's bows and arrows are too powerful, we can't take risks!"
The soldier wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't say it.
Not long after Agule led the team forward, he encountered another group of barbarians. After a few words of conversation, the two sides decided to join forces.
Agule then breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, this group of people is here, otherwise I'm really worried that our whereabouts will be exposed."
"Chief, what should we do next?"
"Find that group of Han people first." Agule narrowed his eyes and said, "The Han people don't store much food. As long as we find that Han general, we can solve the food and grass problem."
Agule's plan was indeed good, but he forgot one thing. He had no idea where Liu Rui was hiding.
At this time, in a hidden cave, Liu Rui and others were sitting next to a campfire and resting.
"The terrain here is quite complicated." Liu Rui stroked his beard and said, "Without a map, it would be difficult to find this place."
"Yes, the terrain here is indeed more complex in comparison." Liu Rui said: "But this is exactly in line with our needs. If the terrain is flat, I will not be able to use my hands and feet."
Liu Rui said with a smile: "Then we will follow the original agreement. We will be responsible for attracting the attention of those barbarian soldiers, and the other brothers will be responsible for collecting supplies and formulating new combat plans."
"There are a total of sixteen of us, one group of seven, four groups of eight, and the remaining five groups are responsible for protecting the food." Liu Rui continued: "If my guess is correct, there should be someone in front of us. A canyon, we must make good use of the terrain to avoid encountering the barbarians."
"Yes, what we have to do now is to rush to the south side of the canyon as quickly as possible, and then set up a trap. Once the barbarians get in, we will trap them inside. At that time, we will send people to surround them from the north side and then annihilate them. !" Liu Yongyi said: "When the time comes, the heads of these barbarians will be our reward."
"Yes, as long as we can capture these barbarians, then our mission will be successfully completed!"
"The harvest this time is quite a lot, enough for us to have no worries about food and drink after we return to Han!"
Everyone in this team is very excited, after all, the harvest this time is simply huge.
"Tell me, if the Emperor of the Han Empire knew about this, would he be extremely happy?"
"Haha, that fool probably won't know."
Liu Yongyi shook his head: "He will only be grateful that we helped him!"
"Hehe, we helped him solve this big trouble!"
"Yes, now we have established a relationship with the Han people, and we don't have to worry about being killed by the Han people in the future."
…
A group of people were talking here, without thinking at all that if it weren't for Liu Rui and the others, these barbarians would never be able to leave here in their lifetime.
Liu Yongyi and Liu Yi both looked at Liu Rui, their eyes full of respect.
"I hope you can all keep your promise. This is the last time!" Liu Rui said seriously: "I hope everyone can unite and stop fighting among themselves. Otherwise, even if you escape by chance, you will definitely die when you return to the country!"
After saying that, Liu Rui clapped his hands.
With loud applause, more than ten warriors in armor appeared behind Liu Rui.
These ten warriors were all dressed as foot archers. They were tall and smeared with oil paint on their faces, making them look extremely fierce.
"Are you from this team?" Agule asked, looking at Liu Rui.
"Yes, I am their leader." Liu Rui nodded and said, "We are ordered to suppress rebellion!"
"Are you Han?" Agul asked.
"My surname is Liu and my first name is Rui."
"You Han people are a cowardly race, how dare you come to us!" Agule sneered: "You are not afraid that I will kill you all!"
"Oh?" Liu Rui smiled slightly and said, "I would like to try it to see if you have the courage."
Agule gritted his teeth and said viciously: "I don't care if you are Han or not, you all have to die here. Our sacrifices do not allow Han people to survive."
"I don't know what you are talking about." A strange smile appeared on Liu Rui's lips.
"Are you pretending to be a Hutu or do you really not know?" Agule stared at Liu Rui and said in a cold tone: "You Han people deserve to die!"
Liu Rui's expression changed suddenly. He stared at Agule and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"Hmph!" Agule snorted coldly: "We have lived here for so long, and we have discovered a long time ago that you Han people not only occupied our land, but also robbed our cattle and sheep, and even killed our people. This Sooner or later we have to get the debt back!"
Liu Rui's heart thumped.
He never expected that the barbarians here would come to take revenge!
"When did you discover this place?" Liu Rui asked in a deep voice.
"When we were hunting nearby, we accidentally discovered a village. Unexpectedly, we encountered a group of Han soldiers, so we chased them." Agule said sinisterly: "But don't worry, you are very lucky. Well, you were able to escape our ambush in advance!"
"Why did you attack the Han people's village?" Liu Rui frowned and asked.
"You Han women all taste good. I'm tired of playing with them, so I want you to have a taste too!" Agule licked his lips and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Liu Rui felt a surge of anger in his heart. These bastards actually targeted their own relatives. This is absolutely unforgivable!
However, Liu Rui still controlled his emotions and said calmly: "In this case, we have nothing to say. Let's start preparations now."
"I'll tell everyone to gather!" Agule turned and walked towards the bonfire.
Beside the bonfire, the barbarians were waiting for Agule's order.
"Your mission is to cover me when I rush into the village gate." Liu Rui said, "I want to set a trap in this forest."
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
"Remember, we have to be fast and we must not let them escape!" Liu Rui warned.
Liu Rui is not worried that Liu Meng and others will run away, because they have not left the range of the mountain forest yet, so they can only stay in the mountain forest.
"What should we do now?" Liu Rui asked in a low voice.
Although he was quite confident in his own strength, this was still a grassland after all, not a city, so he still had to be on guard.
"Let's rest here first. Let's make a sneak attack at night. If successful, we will retreat immediately." Liu Meng suggested.
Liu Rui nodded, and then said: "Let's camp here tonight."
Liu Rui glanced around the surrounding environment and suddenly saw several wooden piles not far away.
Liu Rui walked over quickly, kicked off the wooden stake, fixed the wooden stake on the trunk with branches, and then fixed the wooden stake on a tree. In this way, the entire village wall seemed to have become It is like an urn city. Even if the enemies outside want to break through this place, they will have to pay a huge price.
"You guys rest here, I will lead people to patrol outside." Liu Rui said to Liu Meng and others.
"Okay, I understand." Liu Meng nodded.
Liu Rui is quietly lurking around with a hundred cavalry. If there is any trouble, Liu Rui will give a timely warning.
When night fell, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and Liu Rui and others could not sleep. They sat by the fire and chatted while observing what was going on outside.
"Brother Liu, when do you think these barbarians will come?" Liu Yong asked.
"I'm not sure." Liu Rui frowned and said, "According to convention, they should choose to attack at night, so we must be prepared for defense."
"Well, Brother Liu is right. What we need now is to ensure that nothing slips through the net when these barbarians attack." Liu Yong praised: "I didn't expect Brother Liu to actually understand these things."
"I grew up in a tribe, so I naturally understand something." Liu Rui smiled bitterly: "The wisdom of us Han people is something to be proud of."
"Yes, our brains are much better than these barbarians!" Others also said one after another.
Just as he was talking, a soldier suddenly shouted in surprise: "Brother Liu, look over there!"
Liu Rui looked in the direction of his finger and saw a group of black-clothed and masked men slowly approaching their camp. He counted them carefully. There were about seven or eight hundred of them!
"Damn, it's really them!" Liu Yong scolded: "Brother Liu, do you want us to kill him right now?"
Liu Rui shook his head, and then said: "No hurry, let them come over first."
"They will definitely attack at night, and our chance will come!" Liu Rui said with squinted eyes.
"We can kill them all!" Liu Yong said excitedly.
"No, we are only responsible for killing people!" Liu Rui said contemptuously.
Liu Yong scratched his head and chuckled: "It's the same anyway, it's not like I don't know."
Liu Rui ignored Liu Yong and just looked at the masked men in the distance indifferently.
The masked men were getting closer and closer to the camp. Liu Rui and others were in full formation, ready to fight at any time.
Liu Rui clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, his eyes cold.
"Drink..."
Just when the masked men were only three feet away from the camp, Liu Yong pulled out the horizontal knife from behind and roared.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Pfft!"
The arrow missed and cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound. The masked men were shot instantly and fell to the ground wailing and screaming.
At the same time, the crossbowmen also raised their crossbows and shot at these people. In an instant, the masked men were lying on the ground, twitching non-stop.
"Amazing!"
Looking at the corpses lying next to them, these cavalrymen suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Keep hiding in the dark, wait for me to launch an attack, then rush out and behead him!" Liu Rui said loudly.
Liu Rui and others immediately dispersed, found a relatively high ground, and then lay there, quietly waiting for Liu Rui's order.
"Liu Yong, are you ready?" Liu Rui held the bow and arrow, took a deep breath, and asked in a low voice.
"Ready!" Liu Yong nodded, and then said: "Brother Liu, don't worry, as long as those barbarians dare to come in, I will shoot them!"
"Very good, pay attention to safety!" Liu Rui pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance. Liu Rui looked up and saw thick smoke billowing in the distance, and the smoke was spreading rapidly.
"Oops!" Liu Rui's face changed drastically. He immediately stood up and shouted with the horizontal knife in his hand: "Get ready to fight!"
As soon as Liu Rui finished speaking, noisy footsteps sounded in the distance. Liu Rui and others quickly took their weapons and looked around vigilantly.
"Brothers, kill these thieves for me!" Liu Yong shouted.
"kill!"
"kill!"
Liu Rui and others rushed out immediately.
"boom!"
"Peng!"
"Snapped!"
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Liu Rui and others went straight towards the masked men. They held shields and continued to resist the bows and arrows of these masked men while slashing and killing them.
Liu Rui's figure is the most flexible. He shuttles among the crowd, and the horizontal knife in his hand is like the death sickle, harvesting the lives of these barbarians.
"Bros
