Dingmancheng, Nanhuang Mountains, Kuji Pass.
The Soaring Snake Division is located on a miniature plateau to the left of Coogee Pass.
This was originally a pool, but later the water was diverted and flowed out of the valley. Over time, it accumulated and formed a miniature plain with a small area but quite fertile soil.
Since the last time the Soaring Snake Tribe contacted the manpower of various tribes and went down the mountain to rob the Wu people, not only did they not gain much, but they also lost a lot of manpower. Recently, the Soaring Snake Tribe's position in the mountain has been shaken, and even talking is not very effective.
】
The Tengshe tribe is relatively wealthy and occupies a leadership position in this mountain with a radius of hundreds of miles.
But the reason why they are rich is because the Tengshe Tribe is located relatively close to the plain outside the mountains. It is convenient to trade items with the Wu people outside the mountains. They can also purchase goods from other tribes in the mountains and trade with the Wu people to earn the price difference.
Precisely because of their frequent transactions, the Tengshe tribe had good relations with the Pan family and the Chang family at the foot of the mountain. Last time, they were encouraged by the two families to lead people down the mountain to plunder.
At the beginning, there were two people from Pan Chang's family to guide and support them. Although there were a few savage tribes that were not very controlled, it basically went smoothly and everyone gained a lot.
However, at the foot of Dingman City, everyone encountered the evil ghost riding a black horse and wearing a golden crown. He charged into the crowd, smashing the people and horses wherever his halberd passed. Not to mention alive, not even a whole corpse was left. Down.
This is simply not the same level of killing as fighting with swords, bows and crossbows in the mountains.
The Black Snake Tribe and the Yanhua Tribe were almost wiped out. The White Feather Tribe was so frightened that they moved the old, weak, sick and disabled to the Black Moon Cave for refuge, leaving only a few fast young men in the tribe to guard them.
As for the savages deep in the mountains, I heard that they are about to jointly hold a blood sacrifice to quell the anger of the black devil. These uncivilized idiots are clearly the military masters rumored by the outside world. Where are the devils?
Moreover, after escaping from the Pan family, they came to the mountain man and found out that the man was actually from the Lu family.
The Soaring Snake Tribe has offended the Lu family to death, and since the Lu family has such a powerful and fierce person, why don't they come to take revenge?
When the time comes, where will the Soaring Snake Department go?
As for taking the entire tribe and escaping into the mountains, Ciyu didn't want to do that as long as there was still a glimmer of hope.
The living conditions in the deep mountains are far different from those here at the mountain pass. It is difficult to even eat salt, not to mention the large number of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, and the lack of arable land. It is impossible to support a large tribe like the Tengshe Tribe.
As for the boy from the Pan family who fled into the mountains, he also wanted to ask the Teng She tribe to send troops to rescue the Pan family, but Ci Yu ignored him.
This time the Tengshe tribe was badly harmed by the Pan family, and they still want to rescue their troops? Don't you want to eat shit?
Besides, the men and horses that appeared in Dingman City recently were strong, well-armored, and had murderous looks on their faces.
Especially when they travel, as long as there are several people in a group, they will intentionally or unintentionally stand in a position where they can support each other and cooperate with each other - this is clearly a practice of fighting formation coordination to the point of almost instinct.
Even when the Wu Kingdom was aggressively conquering southern Xinjiang, such elites were rare. Let the remaining members of the Soaring Snake tribe go down the mountain to risk their lives against such murderous talents?
Ci Yu is not that stupid.
It's just that I don't want to go down the mountain, but what if someone calls me? Do you want to send someone to surrender first?
It doesn't matter to others, the Tengshe tribe is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there is a retreat in the mountains. Even with an army of 100,000 and 80,000 people, everyone can escape with their lives, but if the invulnerable demon knight takes action, he will be able to fight up the mountain alone. Come on, it's enough for Teng Shebu to drink a pot.
When Ciyu was worried, there was a loud "click" sound, and people outside exclaimed one after another.
Ciyu stood up quickly and looked out the window - Ciyu's bamboo building was located on a high place, and he could directly see the entire village from here.
I saw a huge black horse, carrying the demon knight wearing a golden crown and carrying a halberd. Somehow, he passed through the mountain road that could only be passed by one person and rushed into the village.
Behind him, the village gate made of huge and thick trees was shattered into sawdust on the ground.
Ci Yu was shocked!
I'm really afraid of what will come - is it too late to shout surrender now?
But contrary to his expectations, the demon knight wearing a golden crown did not massacre people in the stronghold. Instead, he rode through the stronghold and headed straight for the cliff behind the stronghold.
What does he want to do?
While Ci Yu was happy, he was still a little puzzled.
The cliff behind the stockade is more than ten feet high. There is a small waterfall, which is the water source of the stockade. In addition, there are two rope ladders woven from old vines, which serve as the retreat for the stockade.
The rest is really nothing.
It was too late, but it was so fast. The giant black horse ran so fast. In just a few breaths, it rushed to the bottom of the cliff. Without slowing down, it jumped up. It actually used the vertical cliff as a broad road. With a long hiss, three He rushed up the cliff in two steps, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, gradually fading away!
Ci Yu's eyes almost popped out.
If you say that the horse is a legendary horse, Ciyu can accept it. After all, he has seen with his own eyes that the horse can't even be hurt by a crossbow, and its running speed is astonishing.
But running up the almost vertical cliff was too exaggerated - it was simply not something any war horse could do.
To be honest, even if the horse jumped up a cliff more than ten feet high, it would be more acceptable to Ciyu than running up the vertical cliff.
"Radical, radical!" someone shouted from below the bamboo building.
The person shouting was Hama, the hunter responsible for patrolling the stockade and surrounding farmland.
Wild boars, hedgehogs and other pests often come to eat in the farmland around the Soaring Snake Department, and hunters need to patrol and drive them away.
"What happened? Someone was killed just now?" Ci Yu shouted back.
"No, sir, that knight just broke our door and didn't kill anyone."
"Teng Snake bless you, what else do you have to do?" Ciyu breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"There are many Wu people coming down the mountain. Chief, please gather your troops quickly. They are about to attack!" Hama shouted.
"Ah?" Ciyu was shocked.

"Those who surrender and abandon their weapons will live; those who resist with weapons will be killed!" Yulan pointed the long knife forward in her hand and gave orders.
Her mount was not as capable as the Black God, so she did not come on horseback at all. Instead, she held a long sword and fought on foot.
"Those who abandon their weapons will not be killed, but those who resist will be beheaded!" The guards around Yu Lan shouted in unison.
Five hundred soldiers behind him shouted at the same time.
The soldiers in the rear drew their long bows and prepared to shoot.
The soldier in front leaned forward, preparing to charge.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, female general, who is that golden-crowned divine man from the past?" Ci Yu popped up from the wall of the village and shouted.
"That's my Uncle Champion, the Lord of the Deer Kingdom!" Yu Lan stabbed the long knife into the ground and shouted.
"What Deer Country?" Ci Yu was a little confused.
Isn't this the territory conquered by the Wu Kingdom? How did it become the Deer Kingdom?
These days, many people may not go beyond a hundred miles in their lifetime. For mountain tribes like Ciyu, information is even lagging behind.
"My young master single-handedly conquered the five southern prefectures of the Chu State in the Central Plains, and exchanged the five southern prefectures for the five Jiangnan counties of the Wu State to establish the Lu State."
If Lu Wu hadn't said to kill fewer people this time, Yu Lan wouldn't have the patience to explain.
