A burst of dust blew up in the distance, and a group of three hundred Jie tribe cavalry galloped towards Lijiazhuang. The cavalry stopped at the entrance of the village. A strong, long-haired man wearing armor came in front of everyone and looked at the village in front of him. What made him a little strange was that in addition to the constant barking of dogs and a few chicken sounds, he was surprised. Apart from the sound, there seemed to be no one. This made the big man a little confused. When they were plundered in the past, the village was almost in chaos, and the people were running away, but now there is no one.
The big man raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him, and then two Jie cavalry with long hair and pigtails headed towards the village. Two Jie cavalry, holding scimitars, looked back and forth in the village.
While the Jie cavalry outside the village was waiting for the investigation results, they only heard two screams of "ah, ah" coming from the village, and then there was no sound again. After a while, two horses strolled out of the village, their backs There are still some blood stains on it.
"Huh? Damn it, rush in and kill all these two-legged sheep," the Jie clan man ordered to the cavalry behind him.
The Jie cavalry received the order and rushed into the village screaming, "Ho! Ho! Ho!". However, when they rushed into the village, they only saw two corpses lying on the ground, and no one else.
"Search for me" was another order. The Jie cavalry dismounted one after another and rushed into the courtyard in small groups. What surprised them even more was that every household in these farmers actually had cattle, sheep and horses. This had never happened in previous years, but these Jie people were very fond of cattle and sheep. The horses were not interested because there was no shortage of livestock on the grassland. What they wanted to search for was food, so everyone began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to search for food, cloth and other items.
However, after searching for a long time, not a single grain of food was found. Just when everyone was curious, two more screams came from nowhere. Two more soldiers were struck by arrows and fell.
A soldier shouted: "Be careful, they are in the cave." Seeing this, the other soldiers raised their bows and shot arrows at the discovered cave entrance. Those who were good at archery skills also shot the arrow into the cave entrance, but it only went in not far. The arrow was blocked by earth and rocks.
Before they could react, screams came from other yards: "Ah, ah"
One after another, people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and these Jie tribe soldiers who used to be domineering began to become a little panicked. The Han leader of the Jie tribe cursed angrily: "Damn it, come here, go down to the cave, and I must catch these hateful Han people."
The three soldiers did not dare to disobey the order, so they lit torches and carefully went into the cave. Not long after they got down, they heard a scream. The leading soldier was shot through the chest by an arrow, and the remaining two soldiers Upon seeing this, the clan soldiers did not dare to move forward and hurriedly withdrew.
"Damn it, are these Han people rats? Come here, dig out the entrance of this hole for me," the Jie tribe man roared angrily.
Immediately, several soldiers began to dig around the entrance of the cave. However, after digging for a few times, an arrow suddenly flew out of the entrance of the cave and hit one of the soldiers between the eyebrows. The other soldiers hurriedly avoided it.
The big man from the Jie clan blew his beard and glared angrily, then rolled his eyes and said, "Seal the entrance of the cave and suffocate them to death inside."
When they first entered the village, many soldiers dismounted and placed their horses at the entrance of the village, leaving a few soldiers to guard them. Several soldiers were riding on horseback, holding long knives in their hands and looking around to be on guard. Suddenly a big rooster flew out of a haystack, flapped its wings and screamed into the horses. The horses were frightened and ran away. A soldier was standing in front of the horses. He couldn't avoid it for a moment and was knocked to the ground by the horses. They were trampled to death. Some horses ran out of the village and ran into the distance, while others ran wildly along the village passage into the village.
After a small hahaha sound came from the haystack, a child about thirteen or fourteen years old slid down the haystack into the tunnel and disappeared.
The leader of the Jie tribe received a report that the horses were frightened and ran out of the village. In anger, he snatched the torch from the soldier's hand and threw it onto the house. The thatch on the roof instantly ignited a fire: "I'll burn this village down." "
Since most of the people's houses were adobe thatched houses, a raging fire broke out in the village after a while. The horses stopped not far after running out, and were soon driven back by the Jie soldiers. The Jie people counted the troops and finally found that they had not found a grain of food, but had lost more than a dozen soldiers.
Seeing the flames in the village, the big man from the Jie tribe reluctantly left with his troops and headed towards Wuli Fort not far to the south.
In Wuli Fort, Wei Xiang had already received information that the Jie people were attacking Lijiazhuang. When he saw the Jie people coming towards Wuli Fort through the telescope, Wei Xiang ordered his servants to ring the gong three times to inform everyone to prepare. , while Wei Xiang led five government officials to guard the entrance of the village in a swaggering manner. Seeing the Jie people approaching, he pretended to be panicked and fled into the village.
Seeing the people running away, the Jie people thought that there was no trap this time, so they hurriedly chased after them. Not far after entering the village, there was a volley of fire first. More than twenty Jie people fell off their horses amidst shouts, and the big men of the Jie people even more. He was extremely angry and knew that he had been tricked. Just when he was about to order the horse to turn around and retreat, Wei Xiang appeared on the street in front of them with a playful smile. Wei Xiang turned around and slapped the Jie clan leader on his butt. Pat: "Hahaha, you bastard, come and catch me."
"Fire the arrow!" the Jie clan man shouted angrily.
Dozens of arrows shot towards Wei Xiang quickly. Wei Xiang did not dodge or dodge. He was wearing the armor given to him by King Yan. These were the armors of the guards. They were much harder than ordinary armors. Protect your whole body. Dozens of arrows jingled at Wei Xiang's body. Wei Xiang looked up and down. Many armor plates were shot into deep holes by the arrows. Some two arrows were still embedded in the armor plates, but fortunately there were no It hurts the flesh.
Wei Xiang jumped to his feet angrily and yelled: "Cao Nima, you bastard, do you know how expensive my armor is? What the hell are you talking about? Wei Xiang picked up a piece of soil and threw it hard at the Jie tribe."
In fact, the Jie people didn't understand what Wei Xiang was talking about at all, but when more than a dozen arrows hit Wei Xiang, he was unharmed. They were surprised and at the same time very interested in the armor he was wearing. When the Jie clan man saw that Wei Xiang not only didn't run away, he even yelled something at him. Although he didn't know what Wei Xiang was talking about, it was definitely not a good thing. What's even more annoying is that he actually threw a clod of dirt at himself: "Kill him!" The big man roared, and several cavalrymen immediately rushed towards Wei Xiang. They were about to reach Wei Xiang. Several cavalrymen As soon as the horse's feet were empty, it immediately fell forward. A horse pit suddenly appeared, cutting across the middle of the road. People and horses fell into the pit at the same time. There were sharp wooden sticks inserted in the horse pit, which penetrated the chests of the horses and soldiers. Two of them reacted quickly and did not fall into the horse pit. They fell to the opposite side. One of the soldiers rolled forward. Just as he was about to get up, he felt a cold wind blowing above his head. Before he could see clearly what was going on, , the head fell to the ground, and rolled in front of another soldier. In just a moment, Wei Xiang's knife had already struck back, and came towards the soldier's face. The soldier subconsciously wanted to hide, but it was too late. , the big knife was pointed at the front door and tilted upward with force, and the entire front door was split into two halves.
The big man from the Jie tribe was so angry that he jumped on his horse and charged directly towards Wei Xiang. The soldiers behind him followed closely. Wei Xiang suddenly felt something bad and hurriedly dodged into the courtyard. The big man from the Jie tribe rode his horse across the horse pit and chased after him. Entering the courtyard, Wei Xiang was nowhere to be seen.
"Search for me." The big man roared.
The soldiers poured into the house, and after searching for a long time, no one was found. There was only a dark cave entrance. Seeing this, the Jie tribe man already knew clearly that this was the same as in the previous village, and the people all hid in the cave. But he was unwilling to be humiliated, so he once again asked the soldiers to light torches and go into the tunnel to check.
A few soldiers bravely lit torches and climbed into the tunnel. This time, no screams were heard, but people disappeared inexplicably. No matter how they shouted at the entrance of the cave, there was still no response from inside the cave.
One of the soldiers said to the Jie clan man: "Chief Sha, this is the same village we encountered before. I think we should withdraw first."
"The leader is in trouble, there's a fire at the entrance to the village," a soldier hurried in and said.
The big man from the Jie tribe scolded: "It's on fire, you're screaming shit."
"No, chief, we didn't set the fire?" the soldier said.
"What's going on?"
"The haystacks at the entrance of the village were set on fire, blocking the entrance to the village." The soldier said hurriedly.
The big man of the Jie tribe was even more angry. He took a deep look at the entrance of the cave and said helplessly: "Withdraw."
As soon as the Jie clan man left the room, he heard a scream coming from outside: "Ah, ah, ah"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, protect the big leader." With an order, several soldiers surrounded the Jie clan man and protected the Jie clan man as he headed outside the courtyard gate.
"Quickly retreat, rush out from the other side of the village." The Jie clan man shouted, but it didn't take long for them to find that the other side of the village entrance was also blocked by burning fires. At this time, from different corners, Another arrow was shot out, and several Jie soldiers were shot off their horses.
"There is someone there, shoot the arrow quickly"
"There are people over there too."
"Escape, leave through other village entrances."
But when they ran to the entrance of another village, they found Wei Xiang standing at the entrance of the village with a smile again. The big man of the Jie tribe knew that if he dared to stand here alone, there must be something weird. After pondering for a second, he said decisively: " "Retreat." Then everyone turned around and ran in the other direction.
Wei Xiang was left messy in the wind: "Hey, I'm sorry, don't run away!"
The big man cursed something that sounded like an idiot and walked away.
"Who the hell are you calling an idiot?" Wei Xiang pointed at the big man's back and yelled while jumping on his feet.
Arrows were shot from time to time in the corners, and soldiers kept falling off their horses, but the big man didn't care about this at all and just looked for a way out of the village. When he finally rushed out of the village, he found that the more than three hundred people were actually less than half, but before he could recover, he found a group of armored cavalry rushing towards them.
The costumes of this group of cavalry were obviously much better than those of the more than 100 people like him. They were wearing armor, and they were wearing animal skin armor. The cavalry charged again and again, raising their arrows and crossbows, and heard the whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Hundreds of arrows flew towards them.
"Quickly retreat!" The Jie clan man roared angrily and ran towards the other side. It's just that their speed is far less than the speed of arrows. Some people were shot off their horses as soon as they turned their horses' heads. The number of people was immediately reduced by half. The Jie soldiers who were not shot hurriedly slapped the horses' buttocks and took out the weapons from under the saddles. Bow and arrow, ready to fight back.
Seeing that the leader was about to run away, Zhou Hu aimed a crossbow at the horse of the Jie tribe man. The horse fell to the ground and the Jie tribe man fell off the horse. Seeing this, the other soldiers had no choice but to turn around and come to the rescue, standing with the escort. Due to the disparity in numbers between the two sides and the fact that the guards were well-equipped and the swords struck against the well-made armor, they could not hurt the body at all. Dozens of Jie tribe soldiers were soon slaughtered.
Zhou Hu led his men on horseback to surround the remaining remnants of the army. The big man from the Jie clan was unwilling to give in. He rushed towards Zhou Hu with a scimitar. A guard behind him shot a crossbow arrow in his calf and knocked him down. On the ground.
Not far away, Lao Wei saw the fighting situation and rushed out of the village with a dozen brothers who were government officials. However, when they arrived, the battle was over quickly.
Wei Xiang went up with a knife and was about to kill the Jie clan man, but was stopped by Zhou Hu: "Wei Dutou's men will stay."
"No, don't stop me, Brother Tiger. He calls me a fool. I have to kill him."
Zhou Hu also looked dumbfounded, thinking that this Jie tribe member could also speak Chinese.
"Okay, Wei Dutou, the prince asked you to stay alive. This guy is a leader and has some uses." Zhou Hu said.
"Okay, then I'll listen to the prince." When Wei Xiang heard that it was King Yan who wanted someone, he was immediately relieved, but he still kicked the Jie clan man hard: "Bah, you idiot."
The big man of the Jie tribe wanted to resist, but was pinned to the ground by his brother from the guard.
"Tie him up!" Zhou Hu ordered and escorted him back to Yancheng.
Zhou Hu turned to Wei Xiang and asked, "Wei Dutou, what are the casualties of the people in the village?"
"Hehe, none of them were injured, and none of them died. This is something that has not happened in decades. Your Majesty is so clever." Wei Xiang said proudly.
"Oh? How many enemies were killed?"
"We haven't counted them yet, but I guess there are about a hundred or so." Wei Xiang said.
"really?"
"No, if you don't believe me, go and see." Wei Xiang said, raising his hand and pointing towards the village.
"Hahaha, if this is true, Wei Dutou has made the first contribution. The brothers who have returned to the city will definitely ask for credit from Wei Dutou." Zhou Hu laughed and said, "By the way, is there anyone left alive?"
Wei Xiang couldn't help but trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the village. Zhou Hu didn't know what was going on, so he also hurriedly ran towards the village. When he entered the village, he saw the Jie soldiers who had been shot and wounded. , it had been beaten to pieces by the common people long ago, and it is estimated that even my parents would not be able to recognize it.
The two looked at each other. This was the repressed hatred of the people towards the Jie people. Today they finally found a place to vent their anger. Some people were beating and scolding each other, shouting someone's name and talking about revenge. Something like that.
Zhou Hu sent several people to escort the Jie tribe man and the other two Jie tribe soldiers who were still alive back to Yancheng. Wei Xiang asked other government officials to direct the people to clean up the enemy's corpses and find a place in the wilderness to bury them. He discussed the next step with Zhou Hu. At present, this group of Jie cavalry has been eliminated, but there are still two troops, one in the south and one in the north.
According to intelligence, another group of troops appeared in the area ten miles southwest and could arrive in half an hour. The two immediately decided to head southwest.
The big man from the Jie tribe was tied up by Wu Hua Da and escorted back to Yanjing City. After receiving the news, the scouts ran back to Yancheng to report the news, shouting all the way: "Good news, good news, the leader of the Wei capital killed more than 300 enemies in the first week and captured the enemy leader alive. "
