Chapter 140: Winning over
Killing the old and the weak is just the beginning.
Then, Jie Nu drove the women to move the headless body up and spread it on the dirt road.
There were not enough corpses, so freshly cut trees were brought in from behind.
The Jie people are not stupid. They know that the only thing that hinders them is the muddy mountain road. As long as the mud road is paved, the two or three thousand people on the mountain will not be able to resist them.
Now, Jieren has rested for almost two hours, recovered his physical strength, and has a way to crack the mountain road.
On the mountain road, the women's cries were heartbreaking, and the men on the mountain also cried.
Li Yue knows the significance of family in troubled times.
"We can't let these women pave the way anymore, otherwise they will die without a burial place and they will be shot!" Meng Kai said with red eyes.
The eyes of everyone around him turned to him.
There is resentment, admiration, anger...
"Of course you don't care if your woman and your parents are not here!" the bandit leader Tian Baozi said angrily.
"If we kill all our family members, people's hearts will definitely collapse!" Wei Shan's face looked very ugly. The relationship between the Beggar Army and Meng Kai had never been good.
The Jie people used this method to not only solve the mountain road problems, but also undermine the morale on the mountain.
Li Yue made a decision immediately, "You can't kill me, second brother. You go down with the cloth armor to save people, and my brother will support you from behind!"
Meng Kai advised: "Third brother, don't be benevolent as a woman when doing important things!"
You can do this in private, but you can't say it out loud.
If Li Yue ordered the women on the mountain road to be shot, the prestige he had just accumulated would be instantly dissipated. Even if these poor women were shot, their corpses would still pave the dirt road.
So the best way is to save people!
"Shut up!" Wei Shan roared angrily, staring coldly at Meng Kai, and the surrounding beggars also stared angrily.
Li Yuedeng had a headache at the time. It was not easy to be the leader. Everyone had their own position and interests.
"Brother, please be patient and listen to your third brother!" Cui Jin came over to smooth things over.
Li Yue cupped his hands and said: "Brothers work together and use their sharpness to cut through metal and repel Jie Nu. The younger brother will plead guilty to his elder brother again!"
If internal strife breaks out again on the mountain, it will collapse without anyone taking action.
Meng Kai's expression changed, but in the end he lost his temper and took a step back, "Third brother's words are serious, I'm worried for the moment..."
"Thank you for your understanding, brother." Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Cui Jin quickly rushed down with more than 20 soldiers, and Wei Shan followed with more than a dozen elite sword and shield players.
It's not that Li Yue didn't want to send more people down, but the mountain road is narrow and if there are too many people crowded together, it will get in the way.
Among the women, more than thirty Jie soldiers rushed out, carrying swords and spears, laughing as they walked, as if they were laughing at the bandits for not overestimating their own capabilities.
Although they are all armored soldiers, the people on the mountain all wear two-crotch armor. This kind of armor has been in use since the Han Dynasty. It has become somewhat out of date with the times. The Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin Dynasties were killing each other, and the forging technology and weapons and equipment were improved.
Quite a few.
Double stirrups have long been used in actual combat.
Shi Hu once ordered 500,000 people in the country to build armor and equipment. The Gaoli Imperial Guard was not the strongest army in Jie Zhao. Shi Hu also had two elite troops around him, one called the Black Dragon Army, led by the fierce general Ma Qiu.
He led a group called Longteng Zhonglang, which was composed of heroic warriors from Hebei and served as Shihu's bodyguard.
As you can tell from the name of the Black Dragon Army, everyone is equipped with a long sword.
The same was true for the Gaoli Imperial Guard in front of him. He was covered in thick armor, as well as face armor, and the swords and spears in his hands were much better than his own.
But none of these could stop Cui Jin and Wei Shan.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
Wei Shan took the lead and stabbed a Jie man with a spear. Although he hit the target, it did not penetrate the enemy's body.
If a spear misses, immediately take two steps back to avoid Jie Ren's backhand spear.
On the mountain road, spears on both sides were stabbing wildly towards the opposite side.
It was as if a monster opened its mouth and kept devouring flesh and blood, and people kept falling down dripping with blood.
Jie people have the advantage of armor, but they are condescending and have favorable geographical location.
Cui Jin's soldiers and Wei Shan's beggar army were all veterans who came from the mountains of swords and seas of blood. They had extremely rich fighting experience. Every time their spears went down, they could always hit the cracks in the Jie people's armor.
The two sides were evenly matched for a while.
However, there are not many elites on the mountain, and one of them will die.
And there are at least 3,000 high-powered guards at the foot of the mountain...
"Close!" Cui Jin was still smart and knew that if this continued, he would not be able to withstand the Jie people's attacks.
I saw the sword in his right hand and the shield in his left hand. He rolled into the mud and dodged three thrusting spears. With a sweep of the long sword, the knees of the two Jie people were cut off and they fell to the ground.
He stood up, jumped up, and sent the sharp sword into the chest of a Jie man.
The movement was completed in one go, killing three soldiers in an instant.
The people watching the battle on the mountain cheered thunderously and their morale was greatly boosted, "What a martial art!"
"Good man!"
"Fuck him two more times!"
The morale of the begging army on the mountain road also increased. Six or seven begging soldiers abandoned their spears and used knives. They also imitated Cui Jin and rolled on the spot. However, their skills were not as flexible as Cui Jin's, and two of them were stabbed by spears.
Hit, killed instantly.
However, the remaining few people finally rushed into the enemy formation and cut down two people.
The Jie people's armor is thick, but it also makes them clumsy.
After getting close, the spear cannot be used and the knife cannot be drawn out.
"Bump them!" Cui Jin roared and knocked a Jie soldier down the mountain path.
On the other side of the mountain road were cliffs and steep slopes more than ten feet high. The Jie man let out a long series of screams, fell down, and turned into a pool of blood and mud visible to the naked eye.
The thick armor did not save his life.
Even if they rolled down a steep slope, the weight of their armor could kill them.
Soon, not many of the more than thirty Jie people were left. The remaining few turned around and ran away, but when passing the women, they were tripped or pushed into the mud.
"Haha, what a good woman!" The people on the mountain laughed, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.
The fear caused by the Goli Guards completely dissipated.
"Shield!" After winning a battle, Cui Jin did not slack off and let the sword and shield hand protect the women and retreat slowly.
The Jie people's arrow rain arrived belatedly, hitting the shield with a clanging sound. Several arrows passed through the gaps in the shield and shot down several people.
Wei Shan took advantage of the end of the first wave of arrows to hold down the unlucky Jie people, and then slit their throats inch by inch in front of thousands of Gaoli guards.
The seven or eight Jie people, like fish out of water, struggled and trembled in the mud until the blood in their necks ran out...
Blood for blood, tooth for tooth.
The rules are that simple.
This move also boosted morale on the mountain again.
Li Yue's mood also improved. Father and son went into battle, fighting brothers. If you want to fight a bloody path in this world, you must have brothers like Cui Jin.
If one person fights alone, he will eventually be drowned in the dark tide of history.
Cui Jin's meritorious service is actually equivalent to Li Yue's meritorious service.
Whether he was a thief, a refugee, or an army beggar, the respect in his eyes deepened once again.
Li Yue glanced at it and suddenly saw Meng Kai's figure looking a little lonely.
But now is not the time to get rid of the knot in your heart. The Jie people are still strong, but they are blocked by the mountain road and cannot move forward.
Gave Cui Jin a chance to shine.
Chapter completed!
