The cold wind in the early morning still cuts people's faces.
Xu Zijing's banner outside Fuyang City was already filled with military formations.
Xu Mu lowered his cloak and drank a bowl of spicy soup. Wearing only a suit of silver armor, he stepped steadily into the cold wind.
Behind him, Si Hu was also wearing thick armor and carrying a huge double-edged axe. He was probably full and stood tall like a giant.
Dongfang Jing was wrapped in a thick winter robe, surrounded by a group of soldiers, sitting on a simple sliding pole, his eyes heavy.
In Pingman Camp, Mrs. Luan Yu and Meng Huo both raised their heads high and looked at Xu Ziqi in the cold wind.
"Sacrifice flag!"
With a sullen expression, Yu Wen dragged a captive little tiger cave master over from a distance and held him on the wooden platform.
"People from the Central Plains must not die a good death!"
"Tiger God bless me!"
Xu Mu turned around, glanced at the crazy tiger-man cave master, and made a silent gesture.
Seeing this, Yu Wen took the long knife, swung it twice, and struck down with the last knife.
Blood spurts.
The eyes of countless Shu soldiers suddenly became full of fighting spirit.
"The enemy chief is dead——" Yu Wen picked up his head, his face became sad.
"I sincerely hope that all of you will defeat the enemy, drive the tigers and barbarians out of the southern forest, and protect our Shuzhou!"
"Bless me Shuzhou——"
The Shu soldiers in the phalanx were shouting loudly and loudly, and their voices became louder and louder, as if they wanted to tear apart the cold wind of winter.
"Listen to my king's order and the army will enter the mountain!" Xu Mu pointed forward with his long sword.
"Enter the mountain——"
…
This round, Xu Mu adopted Dongfang Jing's strategy.
The three groups wiped the poisonous baggage and took the lead to go up the mountain. After the success, the 40,000-strong army entered the Nanlin Mountains safely and safely.
The road into the mountain from Tuogufeng is long, narrow and rugged.
Under the cold wind, a general and a thousand Shu soldiers each raised their heads and drank a bowl of spicy soup, then tightened their thick armor and pushed forward the huge baggage.
Riding on the horse, Xu Mu was silent for a moment.
"Bo Lie, what will happen if Human doesn't fall into the trap?"
Holding a mattress and blanket, Dongfang Jing said quietly, "The winter is getting deeper and there are no animals in the forest. If we encounter the baggage, the tiger barbarians will definitely snatch it. Furthermore, on top of the baggage, what I ordered people to smear is Chronic poison will take at least an hour or so to take effect."
"As the old saying goes, birds perish for food. And the same goes for people."
"Lord, don't worry."
Xu Mu nodded. If you force your way into the mountain, you don't have to think about it, you will definitely be hit head-on by the tiger barbarians.
The 40,000-strong army behind them began to slow down, until the sound of the three carriages and wheels at the front gradually faded away.
"Lord, if we go further, we will reach the patrol range of the tiger barbarians." Yu Wen calmed his voice and approached on horseback.
"There are thousands of soldiers in the baggage train. The tiger barbarians on patrol will definitely go back and report. Once the army arrives, the baggage train can retreat."
Dongfang Jing frowned, sat on the sliding pole, and murmured.
"Human barbarians are not good at military formations. They throw their bows and shoot in a scattered manner. The rain of arrows is sparse and blocked by trees. Crossbows and the like should be excellent weapons for defeating the enemy."
It is not unreasonable to use a near crossbow or a far bow.
Without saying a word, Xu Mu got off his horse and covered Dongfang Jing's body with the slightly slipped mattress again.
Dongfang looked up in admiration, his face a little moved.
"My lord, don't worry, there will be news in a while."
"Bo Lie's plan is comparable to five strategies."
"If one day, someone ranks me as the sixth best person in the world, I will be the one who shines on the family tree."
Xu Mu smiled and said, "Of course there will be."
Just as Dongfang Jing thought, in about an hour, the thousands of Shu soldiers who pushed the carriage back into the mountain, and the running figures immediately withdrew.
Dozens of people were martyred, and more than a hundred others were injured to varying degrees.
"Lord, the plan is done!" The leading general put his sword into its sheath, with a bleeding arrow stuck on his shoulder.
"The transport camp that entered the mountain this time has all made great achievements. The tiger barbarians were pacified. I will be rewarded by my king!"
"Pass this king's order to send the seriously injured back to Fuyang City."
"Where is my forty thousand son of Shuzhou?"
"call."
The 40,000-strong military formation stood as tall as a mountain in the cold wind.
After taking control of Shuzhou, Xu Mu explored a set of military training methods and taught them to Yu Wen and Dou Tong. Of course, for the method of riding, after the tiger barbarians are pacified, good horses will be selected from the four horse farms, strong soldiers will be recruited and transferred to Chengdu, where Xu Mu will train them personally.
"march!"
As soon as Xu Mu's voice fell, one by one, the assistant generals began to lead their troops into a long formation and headed towards the mountains and forests in an orderly manner.
Dozens of tiger barbarians on patrol tried to shoot a batch of hidden arrows. After being blocked by the Shu soldier's shield, a wave of crossbows fired back——
After leaving dozens of corpses behind, the tiger barbarian sentry was so frightened that he fled deep into the mountains.
The mountain road is long and narrow, and there are vague figures of people moving in the bare trees on both sides.
Xu Mu raised his hand.
The Pingman camp came out from the rear formation, divided into two groups, and quickly seized the high ground. Only half an hour passed, after a burst of fighting sounds. Madam Luan Yu's voice rang out.
"The ambush has been eliminated. Please respectfully invite the lord to enter the mountain!"
"Please, my lord, come into the mountain!"
Corpses rolled down from high places one after another. Not only were they young and strong, there were also many fierce and fierce women among them.
Those who had not yet fallen to death were shouting like crazy, thinking about getting up, carrying axes and charging towards the army.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the huge rocks piled up on both sides of the narrow passage. If they had rushed through like this before, the 40,000-strong army would have been smashed to pieces.
"Front camp, last touch."
In an instant, a general raised his sword and shouted angrily. He raised his single arrow crossbow and fired a round forward.
Hundreds of tiger barbarians who were not yet dead fell down again.
War is a matter of life and death. If you sympathize with these tiger barbarians, who are you going to ask for justice for the thousands of Shuzhou people who died at the hands of the tiger barbarians?
All the way forward, under the protection of the Pingman camp, we passed the narrow road and finally reached the mountains of Nanlin.
Near the outpost nearby, there were tiger barbarians who had died of poisoning, lying on the ground in a mess.
Xu Mu's face was expressionless. This time, if the tiger savages cannot be pacified, it will be even more difficult after spring and there will be abundant food in the mountains and forests. At that time, the struggle for hegemony in Sichuan can only become an empty talk.
"Scout!"
"My lord, Xu Changgong is here." Gong Dog was wearing a battle armor, and his face no longer looked tired and humble. Instead, he had the perseverance of a soldier.
"Go ahead and be careful along the way."
The bow dog led a hundred-man mountain hunter and quickly disappeared into the mountain forest.
"It's cold and the forest is deep. In order to avoid the north wind, the tiger barbarian tribes migrate to the back of the mountains in the south." Dongfang Jing analyzed calmly, "The six armies can be divided into separate groups. The main force of the second army should go all the way around to the mountains in the south. Back, expulsion is the best option.”
"What Bo Lie said makes sense." After all, Xu Mu still planned to wait for the bow dog to come back from the investigation.
Not long after, the bow dog who served as a scout came back.
"Lord, there are at least dozens of tiger barbarian tribes under the mountain back in the south. The standing tiger barbarian god totem has also been set up."
Xu Mu turned his head and looked at Dongfang Jing sitting on the sliding pole, and was shocked for a moment.
