The sound of fighting woke up the dark night, and wild wolves howled in the distance.
The scouts sent back the battle reports from the front one by one, "General, the death camp encountered the enemy at the foot of the mountain. The enemy troops were very fierce and our army suffered heavy losses."
The death battalion was originally cannon fodder summoned temporarily to test the enemy's ambush, with no hope that they would be able to defeat the enemy.
The fighting continues.
The defeated troops in the front line all fled around Li Yue. These people have become a habit of running away whenever there is a big battle, which shakes the morale of the army.
The old soldiers of Heiyun Mountain are brave and brave, but the newly recruited soldiers may not be so. Military law should be established in the future, otherwise when encountering real opponents, a small defeat will lead to the collapse of the entire line.
"Behead all deserters and send their heads to the front line!" Li Yue ordered expressionlessly.
"Follow the order!" The scouts rode on donkeys and mules and chased after him.
Begging for mercy and screams came and went.
Zhang Shengye came to report with his face stained with blood, "General, there are thousands of deserters..."
"Leave no one behind." Li Yue's tone did not fluctuate at all.
If deserters on the battlefield are not dealt with, how can others be willing to fight bloody and deadly battles?
"Follow the order!" Zhang Shengye gritted his teeth and left, "The general has an order, leave no one behind!"
The sound of the blade severing the neck resounded around him, and Li Yue actually felt a little crisp...
"Report, General Wei requested to go to war!"
"No!" Li Yue refused directly. The sound of fighting in the front line did not stop, indicating that Xu Cheng was still fighting bloody battles.
On the rugged mountain road, no matter how much troops are invested, it will be in vain.
Li Yue has always had high hopes for Xu Cheng, and now is the time for him to show himself.
Everyone in this world has their own hurdles to pass. Similarly, Xuanyuan Mountain is also a hurdle in Black Cloud Mountain.
The sound of fighting became more and more fierce, but there were still broken soldiers who fled back from the front, were caught by the scouts, had their heads cut off, and were sent to the front line.
The bloody smell around them is getting stronger and stronger, attracting all kinds of beasts to spy on them. Pairs of green eyes flicker in the darkness. The cold night makes them hungrier.
About half an hour later, the scout finally brought good news, "General, Leader Xu led the veterans of the death camp to defeat the enemy!"
"Okay! Send the order to the death camp to rest, Weishan attacks!"
"Follow the order!"
In the past few months, there has been almost no month without fighting up and down the Black Cloud Mountain, fighting against bandits and refugees, fighting against wild beasts, and fighting against the harsh living environment.
The rugged mountain road may be a natural chasm for others, but it is nothing to the tribesmen of Heiyun Mountain. They go back and forth on the mountain road several times every day.
Dawn opened a white crack on the eastern horizon, and the cold night gradually receded.
However, the fighting ahead continued, with the people of Xuanyuan Mountain desperately resisting.
A scout came from the east, "A thousand cavalry from Mi County are coming here, but they are temporarily restrained by Zhou Changshi!"
Zhou Qian's hands are all young and strong, without armor, and the weapons are all tattered. During the last confrontation in Jianshui, the people in Mi County were quite elite. They can contain them for a short time, but if the time goes by, clues will definitely be discovered.
However, the war in Xuanyuan Mountain seemed to be in a stalemate again, and the fighting became more and more fierce.
Li Yue led the scout camp forward. There were corpses everywhere along the way. The corpses of the deserters who had lost their heads were being eaten by wild wolves and wild dogs. The blood gathered into small streams and made the mountain road muddy.
As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a panicked scout came to report, "...General Wei took the lead and led his soldiers to fight to the death, but was wounded by the enemy general."
"Where is General Wei?" Li Yue was shocked. After Meng Kai left, Wei Shan was one of the best in the Black Cloud Mountains. How could he be defeated?
But this was not the first time. During the battle at Nanshan in Heiyun Mountain, Wei Shan also took the lead and rushed to the front, but was injured by the Gaoli Imperial Guard.
"Rescued by the soldiers with great efforts."
Li Yue remembered Cui Jin saying that the combat power of Xuanyuan Mountain should not be underestimated. Now it seems that it is not a lie.
As Wei Shan was injured, the sound of fighting on the mountain gradually faded away.
A man stood on a big tree on the mountainside and shouted down: "Thieves of Black Cloud Mountain, today is your day to die! Hahaha——"
A burst of jeers erupted from the mountain.
Listening to these messy laughter, Li Yue felt a little funny. Heiyun Mountain is a thief, what is Xuanyuan Mountain? The obedient people of Jie Zhao?
They are all treated as unwelcome in the north and unwelcome in the south.
Xu Cheng's eyes were about to burst, "I am willing to lead the death camp to go forward. I will not return until I defeat this thief."
The troops of Mi County have already been dispatched. If Xu Cheng fails, he will face the danger of being attacked from both sides.
Looking at the tired death camp and Xu Cheng who was still bleeding from the wounds on his body, Li Yue shook his head, "I'll go visit Xuanyuan Mountain myself!"
The soldiers who retreated had their heads drooped and their morale was low.
This is a dangerous sign.
Although Wei Shan is a brave general, it is a pity that he has not truly transformed from a bandit leader to a general. He invested too many troops on the narrow mountain road and was unable to deploy. He was blocked by the enemy's fierce generals and got stuck on the mountain road, unable to advance or retreat. Loss of evidence.
Xu Cheng's level has been passed, and now it's his turn.
This battle is related to the future living space of Heiyun Mountain. As the master of the mountain, naturally he cannot stay out of it.
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general!" More than 130 personal guards stood up.
"As expected of me, the man from Black Cloud Mountain." Li Yue laughed.
His calm laughter made everyone around him feel at ease.
"Kill the thief!" Li Yue raised the ring-shou knife in his right hand, and held a hammer in his left hand. The heavy feeling coming from the hammer was extremely reassuring.
The winner is the king and the loser is the thief. Whoever loses is the thief!
The cold wind was still howling, the morning light passed through the dead branches, and the fresh earthy smell was mixed with the strong smell of blood.
And this bloody smell makes people tense up instantly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" More than 130 soldiers moved forward carrying heavy weapons such as bones, maces, and hammers.
Those who can use these weapons are naturally tall and powerful. Coupled with the evil aura given to them by this bloody era, they look like savage beasts when they appear on the battlefield.
Thump, thump, thump...
The ground shook as the armor vibrated.
Thousands of people below the mountain looked up and expected.
Boom...
Stones and wood rolled down the mountain path.
Xuanyuan Mountain is more steep than Heiyun Mountain, but the steep mountain roads also limit the deployment of enemy forces.
Therefore, there were not many stones and wood, and they still rolled down.
Those with quick reflexes can easily avoid it, while those who can't avoid it can just use their bodies to carry it.
"Kill the thief!!" A soldier was hit and vomited blood at the mouth, but he still stood tall and pointed upward with his bones.
"Kill!" The others quickened their pace and rushed towards the mountain.
The other party has been fighting for most of the night, so he will naturally be tired. The stones and wood are getting sparser and sparse. The closer the distance, the less effective these things are.
Someone shot two arrows, but facing the heavy armor, they did no harm at all.
"Death!" A soldier jumped up and smashed the mace in his hand, and the wind howled.
The opponent was able to resist Wei Shan for so long, so he naturally wore iron armor and an iron helmet.
But the iron helmet was like mud under the mace. With a "bang" sound, the iron helmet was deeply dented, and something red and white popped out...
Sometimes, death is not scary. Who doesn’t escape a narrow escape these days?
But his death was so tragic that the people around him were horrified.
The soldier held the mace upside down and stared at the stunned people with his bloodshot eyes. The red and white stuff splashed on his face, and a stream of white air spurted out from his mouth and nose, "Suffer death!"
