The thunderstorm has been falling, wishing that the cold season made it even colder in the thunderstorm, but the severe cold did not have any impact on the soldiers. The crazy killing had already made the soldiers' blood boil, and the smell of blood filled the battlefield after the war.
, did not weaken at all because of the rain, on the contrary, it became more pungent. After passing through the still warm corpses, the ditch formed by the rain instantly turned into a sea of blood. The entire foot of the White Stone Mountain was like a hell on earth, and from time to time
There was a sharp and harsh bird sound, like the sound of hell, resounding over the sea of blood.
Due to excessive blood loss, Hua Yong's majestic body seemed to be floating and swaying. Half-conscious and half-awake, Hua Yong didn't know where he was. The sound of shouting in his eardrums from time to time let Hua Yong know that he was still alive.
The heavy rain beat down mercilessly, and there were only a few shouts of death. Everything sounded so distant and blurry, but it seemed so close. The monotonous patter of rain kept echoing in my ears.
Not far from Hua Yong, Hua Xi slowly stood up and shook his head slightly. The dizziness in his head and the constant twitching of his internal organs made him stagger. The smell of blood in his mouth became stronger and stronger.
, the tiger's mouth was in severe pain, warm blood flowed out of the wound, and mixed with the cold rain
Hua Xi closed his eyes, turned his head to the sky, opened his mouth and greedily swallowed a few mouthfuls of cold winter rain, and finally came to his senses. Just now, in order to save Hua Yong, he led several personal guards to besiege Bai Zhan.
, and Bai Zhan gave a hard shake, the tiger's mouth immediately burst open, blood flowed out, and even the weapons were blown away by the huge force. Fortunately, other guards fought desperately to attack, and he was able to save his life, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
Hua Xi stood quietly in the torrential rain, feeling the faint smell of blood remaining in the heavy rain, and listening to the distant shouts of killing. At this moment, Hua Xi's thoughts seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force.
With oneself as the center, extending to the west, the tentacles of thinking are like flexible limbs, infinitely receiving and feeding back the surrounding situations one by one.
Hua Yong was seriously injured with one blow. Who is this person? Searching the memories in my mind, it seems that only the fierce god Chi You has such matching combat power. But Chi You should be a figure from the Yangtze and Yellow River basins. How could he appear?
In this coastal place? There will be another opportunity in the future. You must learn about this person's situation as soon as possible. If you can subdue him, you will definitely add a powerful arm to your career. There is also Taro Aso, a little Japan, if you give him...
Hua Xi didn't dare to think any more and tried to move her arms and wrists a few times. Although her arms and tiger's mouth were still numb and painful, she basically regained her ability to move.
"Hua Yong, why are you so stunned? Let's go and check the results of this battle with me!" Hua Xi stepped over several corpses that were blurred by the rain, walked to Hua Yong and shouted
"Too...too strong!" Hua Yong ignored Hua Xi and continued to stand there muttering silently.
Seeing that Hua Yong's expression was already a little dazed, Hua Xi was afraid that he would go crazy because of this incident, so she slapped him several times. After that, Hua Yong yelled: "Ah, what?"
,What’s the matter, patriarch!”
"What's the matter? I think you were frightened by that barbarian!" Hua Xi looked at Hua Yong's face, which looked a little pale due to excessive bleeding, and shouted loudly.
Hua Xi scolded Hua Yong, but Hua Yong did not refute. Although he likes to fight with others, being honest and honest is what Hua Xi likes very much. In fact, Hua Yong has nothing to refute. The opponent is indeed very strong.
"Let's go, if you stay in the heavy rain, I think you will get typhoid fever sooner or later!" Hua Xi patted Hua Yong on the shoulder, then took her hand and walked towards Baishi Village.
"Typhoid fever?" Hua Yong, like everyone else, couldn't figure out what typhoid fever was and asked.
Hua Xi didn't know how to explain what typhoid fever was, so he said vaguely: "It means that the limbs will be weak, the body temperature will rise, and in severe cases, you will lose your life!"
"Ah!" Hua Yong and the accompanying group were shocked when they heard that they would lose their lives. They did not dare to walk away slowly anymore. The energy spent in the battle seemed to be sucked back, and everyone sped up.
I kept walking and rushed back to Baishi Village.
The next day, after drinking ginger soup and resting for a night, Hua Xi, Hua Feng, Hua Yong and others gathered in the largest building in Baishi Village to discuss matters.
"Clan leader, I asked the captives about the name of the Baishi tribesman who severely injured Hua Yong yesterday. His name is Bai Zhan. After he was rescued by the patriarch Bai Jiang somewhere, he followed Bai Jiang around, as if he wanted to repay his kindness.
!”
"Baizhan? What a man who values friendship and loyalty. I, Hua Yong, am convinced that I lost! Haha——" When Hua Yong heard this, the tangled unhappiness in his heart suddenly dissipated.
"Baizhan?" As soon as he heard the name, Hua Xi began to search for information about this name in his brain's memory. However, it was obvious that such a person had never appeared in Chinese history.
"Hua Yong, how did you feel when you fought with him yesterday?" Hua Feng thought for a moment, turned to Hua Yong and asked
"Hey, that guy..."
"Report, the statistics of yesterday's battle results are out, please take a look at the clan leader!" Hua Yong was about to express his feelings about Bai Zhan's amazing strength, when a commander hurriedly walked in outside the door, holding a sheepskin hand scroll in his hand.
Soon, the sheepskin hand scroll recording the statistical results was taken by the waiter and handed to Hua Xi's hand. At this point, it was not that Hua Xi was showing off, but that he learned from the Yellow Emperors of later generations for his own safety.
Although these procedures did not cast much doubt on the loyalty of the tribe, Hua Xi still tried to be more careful because of the principle of being careful with the Wannian Ship. This encounter with Bai Zhan made Hua Xi interested in the martial arts that have been passed down by the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
Of course, it is out of the need to protect one's own life. Ancient people such as Hua Yong, the Su brothers, and Batur, although their fighting skills cannot be named as martial arts, they often go to the battlefield and rely on their feelings and experience.
Understanding a set of methods of fighting the enemy that suits you is indeed what you lack.
Perhaps as a commander who sits in charge of the central army and controls the overall situation, martial arts is not very necessary, but it can still save one's life when necessary. As a commander, Hua Xi is currently in this era
He can barely be called a qualified commander.
Hua Xi browsed through it carefully several times and was very satisfied with the battle last night because the 8,000 Baishi warriors, including the 5,000 elites equipped with bronze weapons, except those who escaped with Bai Zhan and the battle
In addition to the dead warriors, more than 4,000 young and strong warriors were captured, and there were countless weapons. The most important thing was to kill Bai Machi on the spot. At present, except for one Bai Jiang, the leadership of the Baishi clan has been declared to be disintegrated.
"Chief, during yesterday's battle, I saw that most of their troops were soldiers from Bai Jiang's trip, but Bai Jiang was not in the team. He must be behind the team! If we expand the search now, we can definitely tell Bai Jiang
Capture it!" Hua Feng offered his advice.
"Well, it's just what I want. I'll leave this matter to you. Tomorrow I will take people to the several locations marked on the sheepskin notebook that recorded the mineral deposits brought back by the tribe a few years ago." Hua Xi nodded.
Head, gently stroked the tiger's mouth that was still aching, and said
Hua Feng glanced at Hua Xi's covered tiger's mouth, nodded and said nothing.
"Fan Ri!" Hua Xi took a deep breath to calm down the constant stinging pain, and shouted to Fan Ri at the bottom of the steps.
"Here!" Fan Ri responded with high spirits. Indeed, he had a share of the credit for this battle. Without Fan Ri's elephant herds creating frightening power and chaos, the Baishi tribesmen who had the advantage in numbers might not have calmed down quickly.
Fight to the death with yourself
"The elephants are waiting in Baishi Village. Once I find out where the mineral deposit is, you will immediately open the road from the mine to Baishi Village. Is this clear?" Hua Xi said.
"Yes!" Fan Ri responded.
"Haha, your elephants have made great contributions in this battle. Let's record your contribution first. After we clear the way back to China City, we will all discuss the merits and reward you!" Hua Xi laughed.
"Xie Patriarch!" Fan Ri couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart. His whole face was like a blooming flower, so sunny!
Later, Hua Xi told some generals to take the more than 4,000 new tribesmen who joined the Chinese tribe and the more than 4,000 Baishi tribe captives back to China City and temporarily hand them over to the Council of Elders for disposal.
The number of Baishi tribesmen who have joined or been captured is too huge. There are more than 9,000 people in total. If they are all placed in China City, it will be difficult to suppress them if they attack. The best way is to break them up into three groups.
within each town, enriching the labor force in each city and facilitating control and management at the same time
Hua Xi told the general who was escorting him what he wanted and told him to explain his thoughts to the Elders. There should be no big problem.
The next day, after Hua Feng's search team set off, Hua Xi also began to follow the signs on the sheepskin handbook to search for mountains containing huge mineral deposits. Among the team that went to search for mineral deposits with Hua Xi, there were two priests.
The two priests were the only two surviving ore-seeking tribesmen that year. After bringing back the manuscript, they were promoted to priests by Hua Xi, responsible for researching mineral veins and smelting.
The two skinny tribesmen back then have transformed into two priests wearing expensive beast skins, who were close friends in life and death. Now they have become a complicit duo, controlling the means of production that ordinary tribesmen dare not dream of.
In order to facilitate the search for mineral resources, Hua Xi took these two people with him on this expedition, hoping that they could provide some help on the way forward and avoid the dangers hidden in the forest. The two men were naturally elated when the clan leader issued this order to accompany the army.
, because if the tribe clears the big obstacle of the Baishi tribe, the tribe's mineral resources will be expanded countless times, and the production materials in its hands will be increased geometrically.
The forests in the south are always unpredictable. Time has changed. The situation in the northern forests eight or nine years ago has long been completely different. Fortunately, the two of them lived in the northern mountains for nearly half a year. Now they are revisiting the old place.
Although the scenery has changed, we can finally see some clues from the remaining traces and outlines.
The two of them took Hua Xi's ore prospecting team around for seven or eight days. Finally, relying on the manuscript and memory, as well as calculations and analysis while walking, they found the one marked on the manuscript that was closest to China City.
The mineral deposit "copper mine"! The copper mine is in the same situation as the iron wall one. They are both open-pit copper mines. The purity is not high, but the advantage is that it is easy to mine. It is the best mineral form in this era. In this era, even if it is given to China
Xi knew that there was a large-scale mine under his feet. With the current productivity, it was an impossible task. Therefore, the open-pit mine was undoubtedly an open-air treasure in ancient times.
However, Hua Xi then thought about it. If it were not for the open-pit mines, the two priests would not have been able to pick up the ores and take them back! In other words, the other mines in the handbook were probably also open-air. This conjecture was obtained. Hua Xi was ecstatic in his heart.
These treasures are all yours, no one can take them away
"Patriarch, do you want to continue to the next one?" The two people asked happily after just being confirmed by the patriarch.
"Uh..." Hua Xi made her nasal voice grow longer, and after carefully comparing several marks on the handbook, she closed her eyes and thought for a moment, and said: "You two have confirmed that this mine is located at this distance from here.
Is it the distance?" Hua Xi pointed to a black spot on the manuscript and showed it to the two priests, then asked
The two priests looked at it carefully and said with certainty: "Yes, Patriarch! Although we can't tell the exact distance, judging from the approximate number of days of round trip, the error in this distance is not big!"
After Hua Xi heard this, he looked several times at the nearest mineral deposit. It was three times the distance from Baishi Village to here, which meant that it took nearly a month. If you include pathfinding and
If there is an accident that may happen along the way, it will probably take several months. The other mineral deposits are all relatively close to each other.
Hua Xi immediately made a decision: "Let's return to Baishi Village first and explore those mineral deposits later."
A trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in the eyes of the two priests, but after thinking about it, they understood why the clan leader made the decision to return, and they felt relieved.
The resettlement of nearly 10,000 Baishi tribesmen and the current situation in Baishi Village are all being disturbed. There are too many things that need to be dealt with by Hua Xi. Right now is this newly discovered copper mine. The manpower required for mining may also be a bit tight. Even if there are a few more
There are not enough manpower to mine, transport, and smelt the mineral deposits.
As soon as Hua Xi and his party returned to Baishi Village, Hua Feng came up to them immediately and said with great joy: "Chief, that Bai Jiang is dead!"
"What? Dead?" After hearing the news, Hua Xi couldn't believe it because he knew more or less about Bai Jiang's ability. Hua Feng now said that Bai Jiang was dead, which was indeed a bit hard to believe.
"Yes, not long after we set out that day, we found his body under a hill. Next to him, there were hundreds of Baishi people kneeling in pain." Hua Feng said, turned his head and shouted to the back: "Hold up."
Come up!"
Not long after, Hua Xi followed Hua Feng's gaze and saw four soldiers carrying a stretcher. Lying on the stretcher was the ambitious Bai Jiang.
Looking at Bai Jiang's face that had turned pale and deathly gray, Hua Xi thought: It doesn't matter if he dies. From today on, the northern mountainous area is finally in his hands. Humph, the Poison Clan will surely arrive at the city one day.
Poison, the originator of biological and chemical weapons, Hua Xi has a deep-seated fear of such things.
