"Want to fight?"
Gongxi Chou drew his weapons and the entire army was on alert.
Kang Shi took a deep breath to ease the agitation in his chest, and said calmly: "It is not up to us whether to fight or not, it depends on them!"
If you can avoid fighting, of course, try not to fight.
First, the national seal in Kang Shi's hand is extremely important, and nothing can happen to it! Second, the lord has so little wealth, not counting the troops of Longwu County, the troops he led account for half. If he rashly fights, Kang Jishou will not be able to see the lord.
Gong Xichou just snorted coldly at this.
He didn't think that the soldiers approaching them had no ill intentions.
As it turned out, Gong Xichou's intuition was not unreasonable.
Before Kang Jishou could send someone to find out which "ally" the other side was, the other side's troops were ready to go from afar. The elite soldiers transformed into war horses and armor, and accelerated their charge under the blessing of the military spirit. There were more than a thousand of them, and they were mighty and powerful, with smoke and dust everywhere.
The cavalry charged at an extremely fast speed.
In three or five breaths, they had closed the distance by one third. At this time, countless barricades rose from the ground on the cavalry's path, but they could not stop the heavy cavalry for long. For a moment, wood chips and debris flew everywhere.
General Jiang commanded the army to turn morale into trenches, and at the same time, mud walls rose one after another. Bang—the mud walls, which were half a meter wide, exploded in front of the enemy's light blades. They were unstoppable, and the explosions continued.
Kang Shi remained calm and transformed into a star-studded world.
Using the army's morale, he turned the land in front of the battlefield into a quagmire.
This move was effective. The armored warhorses and fully armed cavalrymen were both extremely heavy, and the distance of the quagmire created by Kang Shi was large enough. The cavalrymen at the front of the charge were hit first, and soon half of their bodies were stuck in it.
Unexpectedly—
Kang Shi cursed the other party's ancestors in a low voice.
It turned out that the cavalrymen in the rear did not even blink, and directly used their comrades who were stuck in the mud as stepping stones, using the force to leap over the last section of the mud. The cavalrymen in the back followed suit, and the bodies of the unlucky guys in front were trampled to pieces.
Gong Xichou raised his hand and transformed into a weapon.
Sneered: "How dare you be so presumptuous, even if you are a cow or a horse!"
He stepped on the ground with all his strength, and a majestic dark green martial energy blade shot out from the ground, killing the enemy cavalry with a force that split the sky and the earth. With a noisy sound, the battlefield under his feet was instantly split in two by a gully several feet wide. Before the light had time to dissipate, a strange giant python with a net-like pattern raised its head from the gully, swung its long tail, and attacked the enemy's front.
Gong Xichou took up his weapon and went straight into the fight.
Even so, many cavalrymen still broke through the heavy defenses and were about to break through the defenses and start a massacre. Hundreds of fully armed soldiers held up huge shields to boost morale and rushed out to fight. Behind the huge shields were huge axemen who were traveling with them. The shouts of killing from both sides were deafening.
Bang-
The great axeman ducked and hacked at the horse's legs.
These cavalrymen are said to be fully armed, but their equipment is all condensed from martial spirit or morale, which is limited by the level of martial courage and the scale of morale. It is different from the real "armed to the point of only the eyes are exposed". The horse's legs are also a weak point in defense. Even if the horse's legs are not chopped off by the giant axe, how can the cavalry on horseback keep steady when being chopped at such a speed
At once, many enemy soldiers fell off their horses.
Before he could stabilize his balance and stand up, his helmet was ripped off by something, and then a sharp blade slashed towards his face.
However, within a few dozen breaths, the vanguards of both sides had already exchanged a round of fighting. Although Kang Shi's side was on the passive defense and had less than half the number of men as the other side, not only did they not lose their position, they also blocked a wave of enemy attacks and immediately organized a counterattack.
Gong Xichou has a very accurate understanding of his own positioning.
He was only responsible for killing and pinning down the enemy generals. Just as he said, if one comes, kill one, if two come, kill a pair! Haha, these cows and horses still want to touch Mama's troops
The sixteenth-class high-end vehicle, without anyone to hold it back, could move freely on the battlefield and could be called a humanoid tank and a dump truck. Close your eyes, step on the accelerator, and crush it!
Death, death, everyone must die!
When two enemy generals' heads exploded, they finally realized who their opponent was: "Is that Gong Xichou?"
Who among the coalition allies doesn’t know that Gongxi Chou helped Chen Tang
They ambushed Gongxi Chou, which meant—
"Damn it, it's Shen Youli's troops!"
I thought I was waiting for a weak little white rabbit. My troops were more than twice as many as the enemy's, so I had the advantage. So I charged and attacked, but I didn't expect to be hit by several big fights in the next second! The rabbit they thought was a fanged beast!
Damn it, they didn't even raise their flags during the march! If they had known that it was Shen Youli's troops, they would not have taken the initiative to provoke them. Who would have nothing better to do than to provoke a madman with sixteen great masters? Although they regretted it, it was too late to withdraw their troops.
Kangshi's principles -
If you can avoid fighting, don't fight. Once you start fighting, don't stop until you chop off the other person's hands! If you are more ruthless, you will beat the shit out of them!
He stroked the spot where Danfu was and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The more national seals there are, the better.
If the lord knew this, he would surely be happy.
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
Chu Yao encountered new troubles along the way. Scouts discovered traces of other forces. If they continued to stay where they were, they might be attacked by the enemy from multiple directions. However, they had one more advantage over the enemy—they were familiar with the terrain of Qianzhou, while the enemy was not.
By making good use of the advantages and moving around, it should be no problem to avoid these ferocious enemies. Chu Yao and the others finalized the plan in a few words, but Xie Qi hesitated to speak: "Shi Zang, do you have anything to say?"
"It's on the way anyway, why not take over the granary?"
Xie Qi pointed at the movement route planned by everyone.
On the way, we passed the large granary.
"Even if we can't take it away, we can't let the rest of the coalition army take advantage of it." The enemy filled their stomachs, which weakened their own strength in disguise. Besides, he risked his life to get the granary, and he would be sad if he didn't do anything.
Gu Chi could understand his feelings.
"Indeed, you can run away, but you can't lose the dowry."
Xie Qi suddenly thought he had heard wrongly: "What can't be thrown away?"
Gu Chi just smiled and evaded the question.
"Nothing."
Xie Qi: “…”
There was nothing wrong with his ears, he did hear the word "dowry", but he was a new member and his foundation was not stable yet. Ning Yan, his acquaintance, had left with the lord, and Xie Qi could not argue with the old man Gu Chi, so he could only deliberately forget about it.
Xie Qi's reminder aroused everyone's heart.
In this era of famine, they have seen too many tragedies and understand the value of food better than anyone else. Having enough food is a luxury for most people, and it is really heartbreaking to see the ownerless granaries not being moved away.
Chu Yao endured the pain and said, "But food and fodder will hinder the march... If they are discovered by the coalition allies, it will be bad."
It is easy to be passive if you encounter a surprise attack with so much baggage.
Gu Chi reminded silently from the side.
"We must also think about the disaster victims in Yanzhou."
Their lord was kind and generous. He had distributed some military rations to the disaster victims. Why couldn't they loot the granary? If nothing unexpected happened, some of the food in this granary should have been looted from Yanzhou. This was what they deserved.
As soon as Gu Chi said this, everyone fell silent.
If the granary falls into their hands, some of the granary can be fed back to the hungry people; if it falls into the hands of the coalition allies, it can only become capital to expand their power and use it as capital to attract young and strong people. How can the rest of the old, weak and sick survive
Gu Chi asked: "How?"
The final decision was to rob the granary... No, to take over the granary before the former allies who were already in a mess discovered the granary! As for the lord, we could only leave some information for them to find it themselves. Could the four of them get lost
Emmm…
I didn't get lost, but I almost got lost.
Two days after Chu Yao and his group left, Chen Tang and his four companions came over. There were only a few traces left at the original place, indicating that the troops had stayed there for a short time. Her little head was filled with great confusion, and she asked with her hands on her hips, "No, where did they run off to?"
Wei Shou briefly checked the traces at the scene: "There are no signs of fighting here. Looking at the footprints left by the retreat, although it is not orderly, there is no chaos. It should not be in danger. Perhaps they sensed the danger in advance and evacuated..."
Chen Tang sighed, "So how do we meet now?"
Because of Zheng Qiao's trick, most members of the alliance army were like hunters with big light bulbs in the dark. Once they entered the opponent's light range, they would be detected. No one could guarantee that the opponent had no ill intentions. The safest way to protect oneself was to fire the first shot, and it would be best if one shot could kill the opponent!
But the problem arises again -
Where should I go to meet them
Follow the traces of the march to find the source
This is obviously not possible, because in order to prevent the enemy from discovering their whereabouts, the army would lay down smoke bombs when marching.
Wei Shou asked, "How about crossing the river and returning to Yanzhou first?"
Chaoli Pass is the only way back.
You might as well use the stupid method and wait for the rabbit to come.
Chen Tang said: "This is the only way now."
However, they underestimated the chain reaction caused by Zheng Qiao's trick. The chaos in Qianzhou was far beyond the four people's expectations, and they encountered several forces to investigate. Chen Tang said: "We are too conspicuous in our clothes, so let's change."
Change clothes and blend into the fleeing refugee group.
Wei Shou: “…”
Chen Tang coughed lightly: "Please Yuanyuan hide in the dark."
The three of them were fine, their stature was taller than ordinary people, but not too tall, and they could hide if they bent over deliberately. Wei Shou was a brave warrior, and a brave warrior whose body was comparable to a small meat mountain, which was too eye-catching.
Who would believe that he was a refugee
Wei Shou had no choice but to do as she was told. The other three changed their clothes, dressed up a little, and successfully blended in with the refugees. She also learned about the current situation from the refugees, and her expression changed again and again. As soon as Zheng Qiao died, the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition collapsed.
Those who react quickly will send troops to attack the nearest ally.
It was a surprise attack.
They fight without regard for time or place.
This caused great disaster to ordinary people. Countless people had to pack up and start fleeing the war. Many people didn't know where to escape and could only blindly follow the crowd. From time to time, they had to avoid the "bandits" who jumped out from nowhere!
Bandits pass by like a comb, and soldiers pass by like a rake.
When the refugees saw them, they wanted to flee in all directions.
But two legs can't outrun other people's four legs.
"The bandits are coming—"
"The bandits are coming—"
Some people in the refugee group shouted in fear.
Chen Tang recognized this group of people as allies of the Alliance Army at a glance. They were soldiers, but they acted like bandits. They chased refugees and demanded money and food. If the refugees did not give, they would threaten them first, and if threats did not work, they would intimidate them. If intimidation did not work, they would hurt them.
They acted without any sense of propriety.
I heard from fellow refugees that people were often beaten to death.
It was a luxury to bury the cold corpses, so they were just thrown to the side of the road and left to rot and stink. However, this was basically impossible, because there was no way to wait for the corpses to reach that stage.
"Whether you want life or money, it's up to you."
The refugees who were stopped could only look pale, carefully take out a few small pieces of silver from the soles of their shoes, and beg: "Soldier, all my belongings are here... Please be kind..."
As he said this, he handed over the change.
The soldier took it, weighed it in his palm, put his tongue against his back teeth, smacked it for a while, and pointed his thumb behind him.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Thank you, Mr. Bing. Thank you, Mr. Bing."
Chen Tang was already burning with anger, and she had the urge to kill, but she still suppressed it because the closer she got to Miaojiang, the more forces and troops she encountered. She whispered, "Did this group of people let people go so easily?"
Jiang Sheng pretended to be an old farmer and whispered, "Let this group go, there's another one waiting."
Asking refugees to hand over all their belongings at once will only provoke them to take risks. Taking away their belongings is like taking their lives, and they might as well fight to the death anyway. But if they can exchange a little money for safety every time, refugees will not have the courage to risk everything, and most of them will do as they are told. Jiang Sheng has seen this situation many times.
He sighed, "It was the same in the past when cities were massacred."
First extort money and then kill people.
If not, why would common people be afraid of soldiers
In their eyes, there is no difference between soldiers and bandits.
As if to prove Jiang Sheng's words, this group of people had just left for less than a quarter of an hour when they ran into another group of people, who also arrested refugees and demanded money. Chen Tang analyzed from their clothes: "This group of people are probably patrol soldiers, right? No one is taking care of this?"
Using patrol time to exploit and plunder refugees
Jiang Sheng said: "No one will care."
Those who are in charge are all strict in military discipline, and they are few and far between.
Chen Tang's face twitched fiercely. The intercepted refugees had to spend money to avoid disaster again, but this time it was different.
"Come here, little lady at the back."
The leader's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of beauty.
It was a woman with her head covered with a hemp cloth. Although her face could not be seen clearly, her female figure was vaguely visible. The woman who was named shrank back in fear. Her man stepped forward and tried to beg for mercy, using food to bribe the bandits, but was slapped away.
“Get lost!”
The man was slapped to the ground, spitting out bloody saliva and two teeth. After he recovered a little, he tried to hug the bandit's legs again: "No, soldier! My wife is pregnant..." Before his fingers touched the person, he was kicked away and rolled a few times.
"Pregnant? It's even better if you're pregnant."
The woman was frightened by the scene. She had just run two steps with her belly in her hands when someone grabbed her hair and dragged her out of the crowd.
