Without Black Cloud Mountain, I'm afraid everyone will die in the end.
There are floods at the foot of the mountain, there is famine everywhere, rebel armies are rampant, and forts stand tall. How far can we go?
What happened in Jijiabao taught Li Yue a lesson: don't expect others to take you in, and don't expect others to care about your compatriots.
In troubled times, everyone becomes cruel.
"What do you want?" Wei Shan followed with people.
"Second brother, third brother, let's go!" Meng Kai, who was not far away, also reined in his horse.
On one side are the scattered rabble, on the other side are the well-equipped elites, and the outcome is clear at a glance.
Li Yue looked at the iron armor gathering at the bottom of the mountain. Suddenly, one of them slipped and rolled down the hillside, taking four or five people with him...
Heiyun Mountain is not steep, but the mountain road is rugged, and the heavy rains for two or three months have washed away the mountain road. The Gaoli guards wear dozens of kilograms of iron armor, and also carry spears and ring heads. Knives, bows and arrows, water bags and other items, the total weight of the whole body is at least fifty kilograms!
Carrying fifty kilograms of equipment and climbing at least twenty miles of muddy mountain road, one can imagine how much strength they still have.
The first few Jie people were already breathing heavily.
"We can fight!" Li Yue roared.
The surroundings instantly became quiet, and the eyes he looked at seemed to be looking at a madman.
It's not that Li Yue is crazy, but he knows that the situation at the bottom of the mountain is more dangerous, and Li Yue really doesn't want to be captured as a child servant or eunuch anymore...
No matter how broken Black Cloud Mountain is, it is still a place to stay. There are many refugees at the foot of the mountain who kill each other.
After going down the mountain, there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles. Can two legs outrun the Jie people's cavalry?
"Third brother, let me help you!" Cui Jin's eyes were a little surprised, but when life and death were at stake, he had no time to think too much.
"Haha, Brother Li is indeed a hero! We, the beggar army, are also willing to help you!" Wei Shan said proudly.
"Second brother, you lead the spearmen and archers to guard the mountain road! General Wei leads the beggar army to respond." Li Yue stopped being polite and gave the order.
"Okay!" Both of them are capable people.
Every breath is precious. Li Yue left a kitchen knife in his left hand and a ring knife in his right hand. He stood on a small platform piled with three corpses and raised his arms and shouted: "Kill all the Jie slaves. You can escape, but your parents, wives and children Can you escape?"
Zhao Guang has been operating in Heiyun Mountain for more than ten years, and many people have already settled there.
Many people stopped and looked at Li Yue.
Meng Kai behind him was also stunned, and his eyes suddenly became complicated.
"Jie Nu is a human being, and you are also human beings. Why should you be afraid of the enemy like a tiger? Hold on to the mountain road, and you still have a way to survive!" Li Yue even suspected that a cavalry team had been deployed at the foot of Jie Ren Mountain, waiting for these people to hit the edge of the knife.
Because they came here to kill everyone.
At first, the Jie people were just common people in Shangdang County, and Shi Le also worked as a slave.
At the most dangerous time, the food was gone, the way forward was blocked, and the city walls and fortresses along the way were clear and deserted. The Jie people then attacked each other and ate themselves. They ate all the way from Huaibei to Hebei, and cut down many powerful enemies, and only then did we have what we have today.
People are forced out.
Wei Shan also shouted, "He's a hero, pick up your sword and spear and fight with Jie Nu!"
"Brother Wei is right! Fight with Jie Nu!" the bandit leader Tian Baozi shouted while holding a knife.
Another refugee leader, Zhou Qian, also echoed loudly, "Don't run away. Running away means death. It's better to fight!"
Wei Shan's prestige on the mountain was much stronger than that of Li Yue, and the beggar army was not all refugees. Many of them were generals and officials of the Western Jin Dynasty. They were a mixture of dragons and snakes, so their combat power was quite strong.
The leader of the Beggar Army at that time was Sima Teng, Chijie, General Ningbei, Commander-in-Chief of all military affairs in Bingzhou, and Governor of Bingzhou. He was later named King of Dongyan.
It was he who led the people and soldiers of Bingzhou to embark on the road of begging.
The beggar soldiers held their knives to intercept the deserters. They didn't waste any time and chopped them to the ground without looking back.
Dozens of people were killed one after another, and the chaos was contained.
Many people were also aroused by Li Yue's words and turned around and rushed towards the mountain road.
"Third brother, let me help you!" Meng Kai came over with hundreds of cavalry.
"Thank you, brother." Li Yue knew that he was a bit overreaching today, but he had to stand up at this time, and no one was helping whom. If the Jie people were defeated, everyone would survive. If they failed, they would all die, and no one could stay out of it.
Many times, fleeing is not due to cowardice, but because everyone flees, forming a momentum, and the individuals caught in it have to be coerced.
On the contrary, as long as someone resists, a momentum can be formed.
On the mountain road, Cui Jin commanded more than 200 soldiers to stab down with spears.
The Jie people's armor was thick, and not many fell under the spears, but it delayed the Jie people's attack.
"Stone!" Li Yue stood on the pile of corpses and commanded.
No one thought it was inappropriate, even Meng Kai led his people to move the rocks.
There isn't much else on the mountain, but rocks are everywhere.
Round after round of stones were thrown down, and the narrow mountain path suddenly turned blood red.
But the Jie people ignored the casualties and continued to move forward, stepping on the corpses of their companions. The Jie people in the back row bent their bows and arrows, and with a burst of arrows, a large number of people on the mountain fell down.
But it was quickly replenished.
Cui Jin commanded the beggar army to press forward with shields and block the Jieren's arrows.
At this point, everyone knew there was no way out.
Stones fell like raindrops, and no matter how thick the armor of the Gaoli Guards was, it was useless.
The Jie people's offensive was finally contained and they began to retreat slowly.
"Hold it!"
"Won!"
There were cheers all over the mountains and plains.
In an instant, countless eyes looked at Li Yue with deep respect.
"Jie Nu is just retreating temporarily to build up strength, not retreating. You should not take it lightly. Take the time to eat and drink water to restore strength."
Of course the war will not end so easily.
Cui Jin's ability once again appeared. In the panic just now, the organization was chaotic, which resulted in many casualties. Now that the Jie people temporarily retreated, he, Wei Shan, Tian Baozi, Zhou Qian and others began to deploy, dividing them into four groups. Rotate rest.
Cui Jin also gathered Zhao Guang's people and handed them over directly to Li Yue.
In an instant, Li Yue's men and horses expanded to more than a thousand, and they were all capable people.
The old, weak, sick and disabled were given to others.
One of the good things about troubled times is that the weak eat the strong. Everyone is used to it, and no one thinks it is wrong to do so.
Even these thousand people took it for granted, and looking at their expressions, they were quite happy.
Zhao Guang treats his people well. He is the leader of the village, so of course he knows how to keep the wealth from others, and each one of them is powerful.
With the help of his followers, Li Yue's heart suddenly felt enriched.
This is different from the feeling of being under Meng Kai.
Originally, Li Yue wanted to explain something to Meng Kai to avoid estrangement between the brothers, but there was another movement on the mountain road.
As if to vent their anger, the Jie people pushed the old people and children captured on other mountains to the front, while the women were left behind.
The bright knife was pressed against their necks.
Everyone knew what was coming.
"Dad...Mom..."
"son!"
Miserable shouts rang out, and the tough guys who had not even frowned a moment ago in the rain of knives and arrows knelt on their knees with tears streaming down their faces. Some of them suddenly rushed down, trying to save their parents and children.
A hail of arrows fell, and all these people were nailed to death on the mountain road.
Then, the gleaming white blade was swung, and heads were chopped off one after another and rolled down into the mud...
