At the foot of the mountain on the east side of Heiyun Mountain, a large flag with the word "Zhao" trembled.
A cavalry of about 500 people has been waiting for a long time. They are all wearing armor. They are tall and large. There are Jie people with deep eyes and high noses, and Han people with full cheeks and cheeks. They are all majestic and majestic, standing in the cold wind.
The black armor gave them an invisible aura of ferocity, like a group of beasts eager to fight and hungry for flesh and blood.
On the side of the cavalry, there were six to seven hundred infantry.
Several vultures in the sky seemed to smell the smell of blood and kept hovering.
A Capricorn general in his fifties looked up at the sky. The battle ahead was not going well, which made him feel very irritated. He bent his bow and arrow, and aimed at the sky. With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow pierced the gloomy sky.
But it didn't hit.
As if feeling the hostility from the ground, the vultures actually lowered their wings, swooped down, and then rose up mockingly, leaving behind waves of chirping sounds.
"Flat-haired beast!" Jie Jiang's face turned red and he cursed angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
With a "whoosh" sound, an arrow shot out from beside him, hitting the largest vulture in the middle.
The black body whined and fell from the sky.
The surrounding Zhao Jun looked at the man holding the bow with reverence. This man was short in stature, but extremely strong, and the muscles in his body seemed to burst the armor.
"Liang Du, you lost again. It seems that you Han people are not good enough. Gao Lidu's position is not suitable for you to sit." Jie Jiang sneered, his face full of beard and he flexed his teeth and claws as he laughed.
The original plan was for three thousand high-powered guards to attack from the west, while the cavalry lay in ambush at the foot of the mountain, waiting for a fish to slip through.
The prince has issued a strict order to wipe out the bandits and bandits in Heiyun Mountain, leaving no chickens or dogs behind, in order to deter all the forces on the ground in Yuzhou, large and small.
For this purpose, Longxiang General Sun Fudu and his five hundred Longteng Zhonglang were also invited.
In fact, it was also supervision, and Han generals were not allowed to lead troops alone.
However, the bandits on the mountain were very cunning and used the mountain roads to resist desperately. Three thousand elites were blocked in this way.
Sun Fudu's Longxiang Zhonglang had no use.
The Han general next to him looked livid, "I'm not defeated yet! I still have a chance."
"Bah, sophistry!" Sun Fudu picked up the riding crop and slapped Liang Du hard on the face, causing a bloody mark immediately.
Liang Du lowered his head to hide the anger in his eyes.
There is no other way. Even if you beat a dog, it depends on the owner.
The master of Sun Fudu is Shi Hu, King of Jie Zhao, while the master of Liang Du is Prince Shi Xuan.
The key point is that Sun Fu was an old minister who followed Shi Le and raised an army, and he was from Jie. Although Liang Du was the governor of Gaoli, he was a Han.
At the beginning of the founding of the Later Zhao Dynasty, Shi Le regarded the Jie people as "nationals". The status of the Jie people who had been slaves and maids under the powerful Han people suddenly rose, and they began to intensify their oppression of the Han people.
The Jie people could rob the property, fields, wives and daughters of the Han people, but Shi Le only compensated the Han people for their losses, but did not punish the Jie people for looting, which was tantamount to open connivance.
When Shi Le was alive, Shi Hu dared to openly storm into Cheng Xia's house, insult his wife and daughter, loot the gold, silver and jewelry in the house, and then swagger back home.
Cheng Xia was not an ordinary Han. He was the Han minister Shi Le relied on most after Zhang Bin. He had been in charge of the Zhao Dynasty for many years, but he was still bullied and humiliated. He dared not speak out when he was angry, let alone other Han people.
Under the horse's hooves, a ragged bandit knelt and said with a flattering face: "General Sun, there is more than one way up the mountain. You can also go around it from the south."
"What are you waiting for?" Sun Fudu stared at Liang Du.
silence.
It's like a confrontation between two beasts.
But in the end, the momentum accumulated on Liang Du collapsed, and he said in a low voice: "I obey the order."
The respect in the soldiers' eyes gradually turned into contempt.
Sun Fu was very satisfied with his method and chuckled twice.
Mountain.
The Jie people attacked three times in a row, but were all driven back.
Heavy armor has no advantage at all here.
As if to vent their anger, they rushed the captured old, weak, women and children to the front and beheaded them one by one. The muddy mountain road was dyed blood red.
Some people were still shouting in pain before they died: "Revenge!"
But in this way, the people on the mountain became angry with the same enemy.
"Mom and Dad, my child is unfilial, so I can only kill more Jie Nu to avenge you!"
"My child... my father is incompetent! I can only fight with Jie Nu in this life."
Li Yue looked at the gloomy sky and felt desolate. Unfortunately, his power was too weak. Not only was he unable to save more people, he didn't even know how long he could survive.
However, as long as you live, you must continue along this bloody road...
"Jie Nu's attack is unfavorable and he will not retreat. He must have other plans. Leader Li must be careful." Zhou Qian, the leader of the refugees, reminded.
This person is somewhat literate and has always kept a low profile in the mountains.
People who know how to be low-key and patient are often very knowledgeable.
His words reminded Li Yue that judging from the various behaviors of the Jie people, the opponent was not stupid and failed to attack by force. Instead, they drove away the prisoners to pave the mountain road and undermine the morale of the mountain.
After the attack failed, the opponent did not rush forward all at once, but rested on the spot.
The art of war emphasizes defeating the enemy with one piece of information.
"Leader Zhou, do you think Jie Nu has any other tricks?"
"Since ancient times, if you want to break a fortified city, there are only three ways to do it: pile up human lives, combine the inside and the outside, and be trapped for a long time until the food on the mountain is exhausted." Zhou Qian thought for a while and then said.
Black Cloud Mountain is not much different from Jiancheng.
Zhou Qian is very logical and talented. He can lead the refugees from Yongzhou all the way to Xingyang. It is really impossible for him to do it without any brains.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the rise of the Qiang and Di, the power of the Han people was shrinking.
Cao Wei also migrated a large amount of Qiang land from Hanzhong to fill Guanzhong. Coupled with the eastward migration of Qiang and Hu from Liangzhou, the living area of the Han people became smaller and smaller.
During the Sima Yan era, rebellions broke out one after another in the Yongliang area, first by the Qiang people, then by the Di people, and then by the Xianbei people...
Shi Le and Shi Hu deliberately moved the population of Yongliang to Hebei. On the one hand, they kept it under their noses to facilitate control and prevent them from separatizing Guanzhong. On the other hand, they could strengthen the strength of the capital Yecheng and easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in the north and south. .
Now Guanzhong is full of Hu people, and the Han people are huddled in Wubao.
As for the ordinary people, some took advantage of the chaos and followed the Di people Li Te brothers to go south to Shuzhong and founded the Han Dynasty. Some moved eastward and tried to go south to Jiangdong, but not everyone could make it to Jiangdong.
Li Yue thought for a while and realized that the Jie people would definitely not be able to survive with their lives. The mountain road was more dangerous and solid than the city, and the road was muddy, making it even more difficult to walk.
Zhao Guang is dead, and it is impossible to cooperate inside and outside. The people on the mountain already know that the Jie people are here to drive them all out, and surrendering is a death.
All that remains is the siege.
This seems to be the only way.
But Capricorn people may not have this patience. If they are really at the end of their rope, they will eat whatever they have!
Li Yue was determined to follow the Romans when he came to the country.
"No, Jie Nu has a fourth way." Looking at the vast mountains, an idea flashed in Li Yue's mind.
After all, Black Cloud Mountain is not a city, there are many hidden paths.
Before the war came, many people were preparing to escape through the southern path.
If a group of troops came up from the mountain road to the south at this time, wouldn't they be attacked from two directions?
Zhou Qian had a look of admiration on his face, "Leader Li is smarter than others, I admire him."
In fact, it's not that Li Yue is very smart, it's just a simple elimination method. Surgical students are trained to be thoughtful.
