"Don't panic." Xin You finally spoke: "Remember, what we have to hold on to is our food for the winter!"
food!
Every Xinyi person feels nervous, it is a fatal thing!
Without food, they would starve to death in the cold winter without the help of the soldiers.
Waiting for the royal family to send food to rescue? It would be good if the tribute is not increased.
The Rong people's team set off.
After just walking for a while, they found that the mountain road was full of mud puddles.
It didn't rain yesterday, so the muddy water was obviously caused by people from Xinyi overnight.
The muddy road made the Rong troops move a little slower, and they all moved forward slowly with their long arms on the ground.
The traveling speed is twice as slow as before.
The army of the Iroh Rong finally arrived at the center of the mountain road.
Xin You and Mu Luotian can already see each other.
"That man is Doctor Xinyi?" Mu Luotian asked.
Mu Xingri nodded: "Yes, it was him and that Kong Si who killed our brothers stationed at the beacon tower."
"Very good... I will take his head as a memorial to my dead brother!"
Mu Luotian raised the short knife in his hand: "Charge them all!"
"Woo!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Aoki God! Aoki God!"
The soldiers shouted loudly, encouraged each other's morale, and then rushed towards Xinyi.
Xin You was also looking at the Rong people halfway up the mountain, especially the leading man.
The man's figure was majestic and majestic, completely different from his younger brother Mu Xingri.
Her hair was straight on the back of her head and tied up casually.
Wearing a spiral gold wire earring on each ear, it is very conspicuous.
There seems to be something like a jade pendant hanging around his waist to show his identity.
Judging from the clothing, there is not much difference between the Irozhi Rong and the Zhou people. They both have dark clothes with left lapels, but the sleeves are narrower.
"When our ancestor Xinyou passed through Yichuan, he saw the wild sacrificial warriors, who were the Yiluo soldiers. He said, 'In less than a hundred years, this army is like this! The rituals have perished first.' The weapons in the hands of these soldiers were
The customs and etiquette are very similar to those of other countries in the Central Plains, but they are already very different..."
This is actually a kind of ethnic group with degraded civilization.
Xin You said casually.
Xin Jin, who was standing next to him, replied: "The gentleman is indeed well-informed. If we, the Xin family, do not take this as a warning, we might become soldiers again."
Xin glanced at Xin Jin again. The old man seemed to be trying to persuade him, but his words seemed to contain another meaning.
When the Xin family was demoted to Xinyi by the entire clan, it was Xin You's ancestor who made a big mistake.
Although Xin Jin's branch is a small sect, it has also been implicated.
It seems that the old man has never forgotten this grudge, always reminding Xin You that it was the fault of that group that implicated the Xin family to such an extent.
"One day, I will lead the Xin family back to the temple."
Xin said calmly.
The Rong people shouted and rushed up the hillside.
But when Xin You sneered, Mu Luotian fell down halfway.
"What's this……"
Mu Luotian stood up and looked at the hay under his feet and his sticky hands.
"Oil……"
Mu Luotian wiped the sludge mixture on his hands: "It's all children's tricks."
The hay in autumn is very silky to begin with, and with the grease on it, it is difficult for ordinary people to walk on it.
Even if you are holding a long sword, you can only move forward at a turtle speed, so you will be a living target if you go up.
Mu Luotian is not that stupid.
He sent people to use tools to lift away the oily hay with spears, exposing the ground, and then the large army continued to walk upward.
In this way, the speed has slowed down again.
"Prepare."
Xin saw another section of the Rong army approaching gradually and raised his right hand.
When the Rong army was still three hundred steps away from the intersection, Xin waved his hand violently.
Bows and arrows fell from the sky one after another, like meteors, landing in front of the Rong people.
"It's fire!"
The soldiers were shocked.
These bows and arrows did not hit their bodies, but were turned into rockets and fell to the ground.
In addition to grease-soaked hay, there were also a lot of flammable dry firewood on the road there. Suddenly, the entire road of less than two hundred steps was ignited and turned into a fire road.
"People of Xinyi! Do you think you can stop me like this?!" Mu Luotian shouted: "How long can a mere flame stop me? You lit up the smoke at dusk yesterday, and the reinforcements will not arrive until this afternoon at the earliest. Do you think
After such a long time, we still can't conquer your city?"
The only sound that responded to him was the sound of burning wood.
The dry firewood on the road was not very thick, so the flames were not very large.
The soldiers cut down some branches to put out the fires.
At this moment, another wave of arrow feathers came.
This time, it was aimed at the bodies of the soldiers.
ah--
Screams echoed in the air.
"Haha, you gentleman is so powerful! Those soldiers didn't even shoot an arrow, but we killed so many of them!"
Yin Rong said excitedly.
Xin shook his head again: "It's still early."
These bows and arrows only injured some of the front row of the Rong troops, but did not cause them devastating damage at all.
"Sima, take Yin and patrol the cliff to prevent soldiers from jumping out of the woods."
Although the terrain of the woods on both sides of the road is steep, it is still walkable.
Xin calculated the time again. Logically speaking, Puyi's army should have arrived by now.
But there was still no movement at the bottom of the mountain.
Did Puyi not send troops? Or maybe those driftwood were not enough to convince the people of Puyi?
Xin You's palms were also sweaty.
If possible, Xin didn't want the Geng Rong people to fight in close combat.
Behind the fire, Mu Luotian paused his march.
Although those flames are easy to extinguish, but advancing while extinguishing the fire is tantamount to becoming a living target for Xinyi.
It would be meaningless for Mu Luotian to attack like that.
Muluotian is also counting the time.
He believed that Xin You's request for help started at dusk yesterday.
Therefore, Mu Luotian believes that the earliest time for the Puyi army to arrive is at dusk today.
Then I still have a whole day to besiege Xinyi.
A mere fire would not delay him for long.
"Are we heading from the mountains and forests?"
Hu Moliu asked.
Mu Luotian looked at the surrounding woods. Although the road there was difficult to walk, once he went up, he could bypass the beacon tower of Xinyi.
But in this way, the time to move forward will be shortened again.
"... Wait for the fire to go out. This kind of fire won't burn for long."
Mu Luotian finally made a decision.
At this moment, light rain started to fall from the sky.
"rain?"
"rain?!"
The soldiers and the people of Xinyi raised their heads at the same time and looked at the sky.
Curses and praises rang out at the same time.
The light rain soon turned into heavy rain, and the small flames were extinguished.
"Haha...Haotian help me!!!"
Mu Luotian waved the copper knife in his hand and was the first to rush up the hillside.
"The reinforcements... haven't arrived yet..."
At this time, it was already midnight, and there was still no sign of the Puyi army.
Xin had to say to Fan Mi: "Get ready, we are going to fight the Rong people. We must hold on until reinforcements arrive!" This chapter has been completed!
