It was about to break. The world around him suddenly became slowly brighter. It rained constantly, and every few steps on the muddy forest road, my legs were covered in mud.
After taking a breath, Xu Mu listened carefully and found that the sound of horse hooves around the forest was still coming and going.
In the middle of the night, I spent all my time looking for them.
"My boss, we've arrived at the camp of Tongziying."
"know."
"My boss, the enemy has dismounted!"
The enemy dismounted and wanted to enter the forest to encircle and suppress them.
Xu Mu's face darkened, and he kept thinking about his ideas. At the end, he suddenly took off the iron bow on his back.
"Everyone, raise your bow! Shoot one round."
"My boss... If this happens, I will be discovered later."
"Let him find out."
Although there were many doubts, more than 200 heroes obeyed Xu Mu's instructions, took off their iron and wooden bows, and twisted their arrows.
"Due north!"
"call!"
A large number of flying arrows roared out in an instant. The distance was too far and the lethality was not very high. However, four or five Di people who were closer were still shot into sieves.
At this moment, Di Ren, who was still probing, roared in anger. The long and dragging horn sound also followed the "woo woo" sound.
"Hold your bow." Xu Mu looked up with a cold face, looking at the Di people all over the mountains and plains, abandoning their horses and walking towards them, wielding their scimitars.
Among them, there were also waves of horse arrows, penetrating crazily into the woods.
"Walk!"
Under Xu Mu's order, more than two hundred heroes followed the old forest and walked quickly away.
Si Hu did not forget to cut off the enemy, accidentally cutting down the forest trees and injuring the Di people who were chasing after them.
"Longbow, where the horse stops."
"Master, follow me!"
The bow dog's only eye blinked a few times and then rushed to the front.
For more than an hour, more than two hundred people and tens of thousands of Di troops behind them, one after the other, kept running in the forest.
Until the bow dog stopped moving and pointed forward.
"Get the horse!"
More than two hundred people were overjoyed when they heard this. After each of them picked up a horse, they turned the horse's head and ran out of the forest, regardless of the difficulty of walking in the deep forest.
Not long after, with the speed of the galloping horses, the tens of thousands of Wandi people chasing behind them were pulled further and further away.
On the wet field, Xu Mu wiped a handful of rainwater. He raised his head and looked around in the direction. In the end, he simply made a big circle and rushed back to Zhougong Town.
…
Hezhou City. Ten miles outside the city is a large and vast camp.
Among them, in the largest Chinese military tent——
Bang.
A Di people general with a scar on his face, wearing a pair of silver armor inlaid with tiger skin, coldly brushed away the kumiss in front of him with his hand.
"An army of 10,000 people cannot capture Ji Ren with 300 riders."
"King Gu Li, this may be Ji Ren's general, who is well versed in the art of war."
"Li Poshan is... dead! The prince with the surname of the country has no military power! The entire Daji is a waste! There are other generals!"
King Guli had a cold face and sat quietly on the tiger leather chair.
The Ji army that appeared in the Wangzhou area made him feel a little baffled. According to his guess, there were only a few thousand people at most, but they dared to go deep into the hinterland of Beidi.
Is this seeking death?
"How's the food going?"
"The grain, fodder and baggage collected are ready to go to Wangzhou and will be sent to the front line soon. Don't worry, King Li. This time, at least several tribes will escort them together, at least more than ten thousand people."
This sentence made King Guli's expression relax slightly.
As long as Hezhou is captured, the people of the grassland will have a chance to take over the Central Plains.
"Go down with the order. As soon as the food, grass and baggage arrive, prepare to attack the city immediately!"
…
"If my guess is correct, the Di people will attack the city as soon as their supplies and supplies arrive." Beside the campfire, Xu Mu grabbed a branch and said coldly while drawing a map on the dirt.
In the barn in front of him, more than two thousand people gathered around him.
"My boss, I heard that Hezhou is already running out of food, and many people have starved to death." Chen Jiaqiao frowned.
During the two days that Xu Mu left, he was not idle and tried every means to get information about Hezhou.
"If it weren't for the 100,000 veteran households who rushed to help, Hezhou would have been destroyed long ago. That General Po Di will only use civilians to fill the ravines!"
Xu Mu was silent. Even after entering the border for a long time, he had no intention of looking for Zhao Qingyun. Going in the opposite direction means we are no longer on the same road.
"We have roughly figured out Wangzhou's intelligence. If there is no problem with the layout, there should be a chance if the Di army's rescue is late."
"My boss, we really want to attack Wangzhou!"
"Of course. If we attack Wangzhou, the siege of Hezhou will be lifted soon."
In fact, there is a very crucial point that Xu Mu has not said yet.
Between the two cities, if you want to trap and kill hundreds of thousands of Di people, they must cooperate. Moreover, even if the reinforcements from the Di people from the north have not yet arrived, depending on their strength and weakness, the trapped army of hundreds of thousands will definitely abandon Hezhou and attack Wangzhou instead.
After all, after occupying Wangzhou, Xu Mu and others were full, but there were still less than 3,000 people.
Three thousand people defended the city, facing an army of hundreds of thousands of Di people.
Xu Mu closed his eyes bitterly. It was no exaggeration to say that he was going to lead Qinglong Camp, the villagers and the dozens of heroes to their death.
Of course, if Hezhou sends troops to chase and suppress the disorganized Di army at that time, there is a great possibility that defeat can be turned into victory.
"Is there anyone who can't read?" Xu Mu broke the branch and suddenly changed the topic.
In the huge barn, all the faces showed confusion, not understanding what Xu Mu was going to do.
"If you have any family members, please leave a family letter." Xu Mu gritted his teeth.
In this case, more than 2,000 of them will probably never return.
Many times, Xu Mu didn't want to put himself in danger. When I traveled back in time, my biggest thought was to make money one day, become a wealthy An Le Gong, lead the villagers, and live peacefully.
But the dog's way of life forced him to whip him with a whip and beat him to pieces.
After listening to Xu Mu's words, everyone was silent and understood something for a moment. One after another, they asked literate people to tear off the corners of their robes and write letters home.
Xu Mu ordered ten younger heroes and asked them to stay in Zhougong Town with their family letters. They would only wait for the war to end and then find a way to return to Hezhou.
"Brother Mu, who am I writing to?" Si Hu bulged his eyes, a little confused for a moment.
"Write it to your sister-in-law." Xu Mu spat out bitterly.
The bonfire was beating, and in the blurry mist, he seemed to see his little maid's wife again, wearing a scarf bun and a brand-new skirt, standing in front of the path in front of Horseshoe Lake, with a look of anxiety and expectation on her face, constantly looking at her. direction of his return.
"Xu Lang, go home."
…
In the city of Hezhou, countless people were dying of hunger due to lack of food. The officers and soldiers coming and going drove an old carriage and threw all the dead and half-dead people into the carriage, waiting to be taken to the mass grave outside the south city and thrown away.
Lian Yong sat in the thatched shed, holding the knife in his arms. For a moment, his eyes were full of heavyness.
That year, he was nineteen. He was the son of an official and a criminal, but he was determined to serve the country. I want to be a great hero, and I want to drive out all the dogs who are in the area.
Until his twilight years, his ideals had not yet been realized. As people get older, their swords are also embroidered, just like the vast rivers and mountains of the Great Epoch, Fengzhu has entered his twilight years.
On the dirt path outside the hut, there are children playing a game of killing enemies. Several older children chased and beat another child covered in withered grass.
"Hit Digou!"
"Beat Di Gou to death!"
Lian Yong looked at it, his face became bitter, and the scenery in front of him became more and more blurry.
"The Ming Dynasty decreed the star Chi Feng's sword, and Ci Jun killed Di Man in one night."
