Xincan was from the noble family and should have a common language with the Jiangdong group.
There wasn't much hope at all. A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. If there are jujubes but no jujubes, let's deal with it.
The situation changes with strength, and Black Cloud Mountain cannot be framed by two mountains. Expansion and advancement have been engraved in Li Yue's bones.
The rule of the game in this world is that if you don’t advance, you will die!
I sent Xin Can to say hello and make him look familiar.
The top priority right now is to digest Xuanyuan Mountain as soon as possible and meet Zhang Yu's counterattack.
The soldiers and young men on the mountain were gathered together and surrounded half of the mountain.
There was originally a war in the Dazhai with a population of five to six thousand people, and five to six hundred people died in the battle and seven to eight hundred people escaped.
The people under them were all old, weak, women and children with yellow faces and muscles. Even the soldiers were as thin as bamboo poles, which showed that life on the mountain was not easy.
Li Yue always disdained empty talk, and directly asked his soldiers to set up nine large cauldrons, and cooked meat porridge in it. The meat was wild boar shot by the scouts, and the porridge was corn from the treasury. He sprinkled some salt on it. After a while, The aroma rises.
There are many wild donkeys in Heiyun Mountain, and there are many wild boars here. They can grow to weigh four to five hundred kilograms, and they come in groups.
Wild wolves and wild dogs had eaten the corpses, and Li Yue was afraid of contracting the plague, so he only let his scouts skin them.
The children drooled greedily, but did not dare to move.
"From now on, Heiyun Mountain and Xuanyuan Mountain are one family. If I, Li Yue, have something to eat, I will never let you and others go hungry!"
The simpler the words, the more they will resonate with them.
Forget about the righteousness of the family and the country these days, just eat and drink enough to survive first, and then worry about anything else.
The warehouse is solid and you know etiquette, and the food and clothing are enough and you know honor and disgrace. In the face of hunger, cold, plague, and war, people have long ceased to be human, and naturally they will not have feelings for family and country.
After Li Yue finished speaking, no one dared to move, so he could only ask the scouts to share it with them.
Some people used black broken pottery bowls, some used bamboo bags, and some simply used their hands, ignoring them if they got red.
After drinking the meat soup, an old man cried.
The crying immediately infected other people, and the elderly and children burst into tears.
"To be honest, General, I haven't smelled meat in more than twenty years. I still ate a few bites of white meat in Yongjia that year."
What is white meat? Li Yueneng can figure it out. The chaos in Yongjia has caused great chaos in the world. How can there be normal meat to eat?
There are many wild animals around Xuanyuan Mountain, but they will never be eaten by the elderly and children.
After eating, everyone's faces became enthusiastic.
Xuanyuan Mountain is secretly supported by the Zheng family, and has been managed by Guo Shi for decades to make the family rich.
There are more than 500 sets of leather armor, more than 2,000 spearheads, more than 800 ring-headed knives, and more than 900 bows in the treasury.
What surprised Li Yue the most was that there was no shortage of food in Xuanyuan Mountain. There were a lot of private goods stored in the warehouses of the major leaders, such as salt, wine, corn, and pickles, which was enough for the people on the mountain to live comfortably for a whole year. …
With these things, Li Yue is no longer afraid of Zhang Yu's encirclement.
On the contrary, I was somewhat looking forward to his arrival.
In addition to these survival necessities, there is also a small library on the mountain.
The five random people traveled to China, and their clothes and clothes traveled south, but not all their clothes could travel south. It was normal for their books to be left behind in the mountains.
The bamboo slips themselves are also property.
But now Li Yue has no intention to browse. The latest news brought back by the scouts is that Zhang Yu's army has rushed to Mi County. The two groups of men and horses together exceed 10,000, and the vanguard of 3,000 cavalry is on its way to Xuanyuan Mountain.
The three thousand young men who had been attacked by Zhou Qian had already retreated to Heiyun Mountain. According to Li Yue's order, they were clearing the ground at Heiyun Mountain and Sishui Castle.
Two days later, Zhang Yu's army arrived and gathered at the foot of the mountain.
The momentum of the regular army is different from that of the bandits. They are well-equipped, strong soldiers, and have at least 800 cavalry, all of which are genuine tall warhorses.
However, cavalry is of little use in mountainous battles.
Banners were fluttering at the foot of the mountain, armor was shining, and the soldiers were proud.
Compared with them, Li Yue felt that he was leading a group of beggars...
Zhang Yu worked hard for this battle and even prepared a catapult. For more than fifty years, the catapult was pushed to the foot of the mountain by civilians.
"Listen to the thieves on the mountain. Surrender now and you can survive. If we wait until we attack the mountain, we will not leave any chickens or dogs behind."
More than a dozen soldiers cursed in front of the mountain pass.
Xu Cheng led his men and shouted at the foot of the mountain: "If you have the guts, come and attack the mountain!"
Zhang met so many people and came all the way from Xuchang, so of course he would not give up.
Without much nonsense, a few stones roared across the sky and fell below the pass. The defenders pointed at the catapults and laughed.
Li Yue cursed, "They are testing the range. Why are you laughing? Hide quickly."
Sure enough, the second round of cannon stones came quickly.
Like fried beans, it hit the narrow pass.
With a "boom" sound, the wooden beam could not withstand the continuous blows from the artillery stones and fell down, kicking up a burst of dust.
There were almost no casualties, but there was joy below the mountain.
"General!" Xu Cheng picked Li Yue up from the dust.
"It's okay." Li Yue spat out a mouthful of dust. Seeing that there were no casualties around him, he didn't blame Xu Cheng for his shoddy project.
It was smashed for a while, and another shower of arrows shot out.
They were densely packed, blocking out the sky and the sun, and the mountain was so heavy that it was impossible to lift one's head up.
Under the cover of arrow rain, more than 300 enemy soldiers began to attack the mountain.
There are feather arrows stuck everywhere on the earthen ramparts and dead trees, like branches growing out of the dead trees.
Rich people fight differently...
The arrows in Heiyun Mountain are reluctant to shoot, and they have to find them back after they are shot out, unlike today, where they are thrown out without money.
The enemy soldiers began to climb the mountain. The first pass was not steep, but when they were about to approach, their feet suddenly became empty, and the six or seven people in front fell...
The enemy was in panic.
At this moment, Xu Cheng came out with the knife and shouted: "Kill!"
The death camp who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward.
He held a shield, axe, and halberd in his hand, and when he went up, he was bumping and hacking.
They were unkempt and ragged, and many of them were barefoot, but they were extremely fierce. They had the aura of dying with the enemy as soon as they attacked, and they didn't take their own lives seriously at all.
There is a saying in the art of war: It means that if the enemy forgets himself, he must die before he survives.
The more people put life and death on the battlefield, the longer they will live.
Although the enemy had many troops, they were unable to deploy on the rugged mountain road. After the first few people were knocked over and knocked over, those behind were blocked.
Li Yue's blood boiled as he watched from behind. Although Xu Cheng was ugly and short, he was very clever. He first used traps to make the enemy panic, and then took the initiative to attack with light soldiers, shields and heavy weapons.
He maximized his own advantages and calculated every step of the enemy.
In less than a stick of incense, the enemy troops abandoned dozens of corpses and fled in panic.
Xu Cheng did not pursue, but quickly asked the people from the death camp to clean the battlefield.
Armor, weapons, clothing...
After a while, the dozens of corpses were stripped naked with extremely skilled techniques.
The others quickly plucked the arrows from the ground and trees and carried them back into the pass bundle by bundle.
The death camp returned happily and put the things they had obtained on themselves, which were a bit nondescript...
"You will become a general one day!" Li Yue stroked Xu Cheng's back and praised him generously.
This battle was so beautifully fought that even if Li Yue came by himself, he might not be able to achieve this.
There were envious looks from all around.
"Thank you, General, for your cultivation!" Xu Cheng said politely.
He has not read any military books, but he is so experienced in using soldiers, and he is a born general.
Although it was only a small victory, it greatly affected the opponent's arrogance.
The opponent's morale was a little low, the drums were not as loud as before, and the soldiers were not as arrogant as before.
