Tazigou was originally a small village east of the Yuanning Mountains, with a population of less than a hundred.
It is named after a small three-story tower built at the head of the village.
Later, the east coast suffered from repeated wars, and the people fled to death, and it has become a deserted land.
Zi Shi.
I can't see my fingers everywhere.
Hey, hey, hey, messy footsteps sounded.
Contrary to expectations, out of the three thousand planned by Yo Matsushita, only one thousand people, holding flickering torches, rushed to Tazigou at the last moment.
Uesaka, the leader, looked around.
It's just that the night was too thick and everything was pitch black. No matter how hard he stared, he could only see the shadows of the mountains far and near Mo Lake, and couldn't see what was going on around him at all.
"There's something wrong with this place. It's too quiet around here."
"Um..." The messenger, who was running half to death, was not dumbfounded. "Go back to the general. As soon as he was attacked, Shimosaka Chinaga ordered the boss to deliver a message to you. As for the small number of enemies, it was really embarrassing in a hurry."
"I still have to work."
However, very slowly no one came over with sweat on their heads.
"Qianchang, the Japanese pirates are here again. There are so few trees, how long do we have to cut them down?"
After thinking about it, I took a look at Qi Zhou.
Ren Ning just saw the battle reports sent from everywhere.
Therefore, it will catch fire no matter how it is lit.
"You know they are hungry and tired, but the Xingluo people may appear in the distance at any time. Our horse hoof blades recognize people. If you want to die, get up and work quickly."
"General," none of the guards said, "the enemy outside the mountain is mysterious and has superb archery skills. He just appeared out of nowhere and killed a dozen of our brothers. What if... I use your kerosene?"
cough.
"yes!"
"Come up with the order, everyone should move closer to the general, and organize defense on the spot. At the same time, immediately ask for help from General Matsugami."
"How is Jiamuhe doing now?"
The most important thing is that all the trees outside are cut down, and the food sent to the east coast plain passes through there.
But we have to wait for us to take action.
"Don't talk too much," Qian Changhao of the Seventh Battalion politely gave me a chestnut. "If you don't have time, go over and shoot a few enemies. The worst is to drag Song Shangyang's 80,000 people to that little bodyguard."
outside."
The kerosene in my hand is enough for lighting, so why don't I have any leftover to burn the mountain?
It's Shao Shi, ah ah ah.
I clasped my fingers quickly.
"Back to the general, the Jiamu River has always been in your hands. The Japanese pirates tried to save the fire, but they were all hit. The food and grass that the brothers need during those days have been continuously delivered from outside the cave."
"You also know that Kudo Naoto still has a lot of troops at his disposal that cannot be mobilized?" "The time has come to avenge Shisaka and my other brothers who died in the battle. Send an order to go up, burn down the forest, and kill all the rats hiding outside.
Burn him to death; at the same time, dig a trench around him to guard against the attack of Xingluo's cavalry."
Uesaka was whipped several times.
There were screams from strangers or Changdi everywhere, which made Shisaka feel terrified.
"Understood." All the captains of thousands and thousands of captains nodded.
As expected of the Starfall Legion, a small number of them, including Shimoban and his personal guards, were killed by a knife or their throats were blocked by a shot.
"That's him." Song Shangyang gave the chief guard a deep look.
ah?
Although there were relatively few enemies at the foot of the mountain, Song Shangyang was still unsure in his heart.
South Bank, shipbuilding base.
"But based on a rough estimate, it's probably less than two thousand at most."
The soldiers, urged by the climbers, ran all the way and were already tired and hungry.
"Damn it." Matsugami Yang almost slapped the big guard who made the ill-intentioned suggestion.
"It's bad for colleagues to help and support each other. But he must remember that we are also a tired army. Although there are many people, the team is too long. We must have run to Zhan Piaojiang desperately to save the thousand people in Xiaban,
I'm afraid they only saved us in the end, but were eaten piece by piece instead."
"Everyone, the Xingluo people are hiding under that mountain. The road in front of the little guard is not our food route. It's just Xingluo. We are also human beings and we also need to eat. If we block the outside, we will have a way to enter."
There is food to eat.”
After another urging with swords and axes, the soldiers started working with a grimace.
Song Shangyang's order came to him very slowly. After a while, the sound of logging could be heard from all directions.
The thousand soldiers in Xiaban struggled for a long time, but after waiting for a few reinforcements, all the first ones were wiped out.
Although I don’t have nearly 80,000 troops, the quantity is enough, but the quality...
Outside the pitch-white night, there were many people hiding in ambush. When Shimoban's hand reacted, he was immediately surrounded.
Moreover, 20,000 of the 80,000 people should be divided to keep an eye on the east of the small bodyguard to prevent the cavalry from the Starfall Legion from coming over.
The sword flashed past and the spear was stabbed, and the enemy could hardly be hit by a single move.
"Two thousand?" Song Shangyang nodded, "Let's take it as seven thousand."
Suddenly, the mountains where the little guard was guarding for seven weeks rang out with loud shouts of killing.
The Japanese soldiers immediately performed their duties, defending for defense, burning mountains for burning, and digging trenches for others.
"Tell me, there aren't many enemies around the little guard?"
The fact that Wu Yunchui people ambushed the little guard early on means that we are looking in the wrong place.
I calculated the distance and said decisively, "Give me the order to go up. Everyone needs to resupply and rest where they are. We will gather together at dawn tomorrow and set off again."
"..." The chief guard was silent for a while, and then nodded, "My superior understands."
"kill!"
The air was filled with the strong smell of blood, and there were only corpses underground.
I slapped my calf hard, surprised but happy, "That's too bad."
Song Shangyang was still halfway there when he received the news.
Everyone thought that even if they didn't have anything to eat, they could at least rest when they arrived at their destination. But when they heard that they still had to work, they couldn't help but complain.
Moreover, with the combat power of the Starfall Legion, it is very unlikely that our small number of troops in Xiabao will last until dawn tomorrow.
The two sides are originally on the same level. One side is waiting for work while the other side is hungry and tired.
When we arrived at Xiaoqianwei, the sun was slowly setting.
"General," the guard next to him said slowly with his heart beating: "What should we do now?"
Bahba.
"Send the order and chop it down as soon as it starts to burn. Cut down all the trees. I will see how these rats like Xingluo hide and attack."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And if you know how long you have to stay outside, you will definitely not be able to get a torch. Will you be attacked by Yun Chui in minutes?
In front of a small tree at the foot of the mountain, the soldier coughed heavily.
After finishing the inspection, Song Shangyang stood up straight and glanced at the excessively quiet forest behind him.
"General, brothers haven't worked very hard yet. It's just that it's the turn of spring and summer, and the mountains and forests are dry..."
"There are not 80,000 little personal guards. In those days, we have successively killed nearly 20,000 people who came to put out the fire. There are not 80,000 people fighting against Jiang Xuesong of Baekje on the East and West Post Road. There are not even 10,000 people here.
Be prepared, that’s a total of 40,000 people.”
After breathing slowly for a while, Uesaka was able to control the inexplicable anger in his heart.
I laughed and said, "Matsu Shangyang led so few people to block the little personal guard. It seems that he takes it very seriously. Let us block it first."
"Very bad." Ren Ning nodded with satisfaction.
Song Shangyang also meant it. I casually looked through the scars under the body, and felt a little twitching in my heart.
ah?
"He brewed it. After traveling all night, I'm almost exhausted. It's pitch black everywhere now, and I still have to do a rough job."
On the seventh day, it was said that we set off early in the morning, but in fact it was not until noon on the seventh day that Song Shangyang came to the little guard with his assembled men and horses.
The little guard saw a plume of heavy smoke rising from the mountain in the distance, but it passed very slowly and disappeared. At a glance, he knew that the mountain was on fire.
"Quick, quick, everyone, move."
He quickly stood up and shouted loudly, "No one is allowed to rest. Immediately set up a defense line to the west. Pay attention to setting up isolation fences, scattering pears, digging horse pits and hanging horse ropes."
Regardless of whether the enemy is two thousand or seven thousand, there are still fewer people than the people in Xiaban.
Song Shangyang was stunned, raised his head and took a look, and suddenly felt a toothache.
