Dong Jin is a young hunter who lives by the Xiaoqing River. He has a large bow slung on his body, a bag full of arrows on his waist, and a large basket on his back. In the basket sits a little baby with round eyes, and in his arms
Holding some cakes.
He is fleeing with his family.
Standing at the bottom of a steep slope, Dong Jin forced a smile and deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "Mother, in half an hour, we will arrive at Changbai Mountain... Tianjing Spring is ahead of us! Please work hard, the mountains are very safe!"
While standing to speak, he subconsciously looked back at the way he came from. On the other side of the sparkling river, there were wisps of black smoke lingering.
Thinking of the tragedy in the village this morning and the many people who died, Dong Jin's heart ached and his smile suddenly disappeared.
Dong Jin looks old, tall and strong, and he likes to act like an adult in his speech. In fact, he is only fourteen years old. His child bride Yuan Zhener, who is four years older than him, follows closely behind her husband holding a small robe.
He touched Dong Jin's face with some worry.
Dong Jin is a famous hunter from all over the country. He can shoot powerful bows, use swords and guns, and can hunt tigers and leopards in the mountains. Because of his skills, the Dong family has accumulated more than ten acres of paddy fields in the local area, and has given them to Dong Jin early.
A child bride was arranged.
Yuan Zhener was born with a delicate body, not as strong and hardworking as ordinary peasant women. Although she cared about her husband, she had traveled more than 20 miles on the mountain road and was almost exhausted. She relied solely on the thought of running to safety.
, she just managed to cheer up.
The Xiaoqing River is an important waterway for transporting sea salt to Jinan. The people along the way farm on weekdays. In their spare time, they work as farmers or private salt dealers. Sometimes they rob salt ships and engage in shady activities. They are said to be civilians.
That's fine. It's fine to call them thieves.
When the Mongols came before, some of the people fled into the mountains, and some villages surrendered in time and paid grain, fodder, and women and young men to the Mongolian army. The Mongolian army did not give them any special trouble.
But in the past few days, the Mongolian army suddenly turned its back. The Khitan general Shi Mobedier, who was originally stationed in the Zouping area of Zizhou, heard that he had just returned from a defeat, but he used hundreds of troops to burn, kill and loot everywhere.
Village.
At least five or six villages were caught off guard and were captured by Shimo Bideer. All men and women were killed, and all their money, food and supplies were robbed.
The residents of the village grew up in troubled times, and everyone had some fighting skills. However, they were unable to defeat the army, so they had to flee one after another. Dong Jin led the remaining villagers and companions to hurry up and finally ran to the foot of the complex terrain of Changbai Mountain and escaped slightly.
Enemy pursuit.
When Yuan Zhener was about to speak, Dong Jin frowned.
To the south, he had already heard the sound of spring water, which was the courtyard spring that never dries up in winter, flowing along the Chuandao Valley. But to the north, there seemed to be something else in the howling wind?
Yuan Zhen'er leaned against Dong Jin's arms worriedly, looked at her husband's expression nervously, and then made a silencing gesture to the child sitting in the basket. The child nodded vigorously, pursed his lips, and closed his eyes.
.
Dong Jin frowned and listened for a long time. That's right, it was the enemy shouting loudly!
"The people from Shimo Bedier, but they came from the top of Mohu Lake and passed by here." Dong Jin said: "It's a coincidence that they didn't have time to climb over the slope."
Seeing the horrified look on his wife's face, Dong Jin comforted him: "I have everything."
The couple took their children and hid behind a huge rock beside the mountain road.
Yuan Zhener hugged the child tightly in her arms. Dong Jin thought for a while, took off the quiver from his waist, put it in front of him, took out five more arrows, and pierced them into the mud in front of him.
Not long after, five cavalrymen appeared on the mountain road. Behind each war horse, two or three donkeys were led with ropes. Each donkey had large and small packages hung on it.
It can be seen that the big parcels are filled with grain, while the small parcels are filled with other scattered things. Some parcels are torn, revealing the silk or gold and silver utensils inside. Some parcels are stained with bright red blood.
As the donkey moved forward, blood was sprinkled on the ground little by little.
There were too many packages and they were too heavy. It was a mountainous road and the donkeys and horses couldn't move very fast.
A cavalryman carefully controlled his horse and sighed: "Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen?"
Another cavalryman muttered: "Such a ferocious prince Tuo Lei, so many Mongolian cavalry, can actually lose...Guo Jiedu of Dinghai Navy is really powerful, he is worthy of being an evil tiger! Have you heard that we
The troops we fought at that time were not Guo Jiedu's headquarters at all, but stragglers temporarily gathered together by his subordinate Guo Zhongyuan!"
Several others were silent for a while.
The previous cavalryman sighed again: "A group of stragglers took the lives of General Zhao and General Jata, killing more than 3,000 of us; then Guo Jiedu's headquarters must be many times more powerful, they can kill thousands of Mongolians."
Man, it’s only natural to catch the fourth prince and drag the thunder... In short, we can’t stay in this Shandong territory anymore, so it’s good to leave as soon as possible.”
Someone said: "It's a pity that so many brothers died, and all the work was in vain."
Another person responded angrily: "Yeah, it's all in vain! I haven't grabbed anything at all these days!"
Some people also advised: "It's good to grab a handful before leaving! Think about the Mongols, they will suffer a big loss this time, how much they have to give away!"
A soldier clasped his fingers and recited to the others: "Three thousand horses must be ungeared, strong horses under ten years old, or colts; three thousand cattle must also be good; one hundred
Boul, who is good at raising horses and livestock; one hundred households of blacksmiths, and four hundred households of other craftsmen; by the way, there are also thirty thousand men and women. I estimate that Ding Haijun has counted the Mongols staying in Jinan City.
How many living people are there, the number is specially determined!"
"There are also armors, ordnance, money and food. Have you heard that the money shipped out from Jinan in the past two days has to be loaded in big trucks! There was a rattling sound along the way! There is also food, which costs hundreds of thousands.
Shi! Ding Haijun actually sent a fleet, led by a monk, to Jinan to pick him up!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "People from the Ding Navy went to Jinan to move food? Isn't this a slap in the face of the Mongols? Can the Mongols endure it?"
"The life of the fourth prince Tuo Lei is in the hands of Ding Haijun! Do you think they can bear it? That is the fourth prince of Mongolia and the most beloved son of Genghis Khan!"
"Hey!" Someone said angrily: "I was captured alive on the battlefield and spent so many things to redeem it. It's not easy for the Mongolian army to grab these, right? Now it's all given to the Ding Navy... That tow mine
After being redeemed, it’s hard to say whether he will still be the most favored son!”
"So we have to hurry up and grab... We have to sweep through the villages that we have never been to before. If we don't save something quickly, how can the fourth prince explain to the Mongolian soldiers? The Mongols are different from us, and we are also poor.
You deserve it, and your death will be in vain... Hundreds or thousands of Mongolian households all have power in their hands, and the fourth prince cannot offend them casually!"
One of the cavalrymen was suddenly shocked and angry: "What? That's not right. Aren't these things that were stolen from us ours? From what you said, they are going to be given away?"
"Nonsense, Mr. Mongolia's pockets are empty, you still want to gain weight? This is a special order from Naminfu Baihu, asking Marshal Shimo to seize the time to gather more supplies. After the fourth prince escapes, he will have these on hand.
So that I can appease those Qianhu Nayans!"
The cavalryman shouted in disappointment: "If I don't give it to them, what can they do? I robbed these, they are mine!"
"It's okay to hide something secretly. If you really dare not to give it... The Mongols are in a rage. I guess those nobles will inevitably cut off a few heads to vent their anger. Do you think any of those heads are yours?"
?”
The cavalry were not very energetic, but they talked a lot. They talked slowly and disappeared behind the mountain road.
When they passed in front of the rock, Dong Jin kept crouching in the dark, bow and arrow, aiming at the chest of the leading knight.
It wasn't until the knights left that Dong Jin drew back his bow and stood up, but said nothing.
Yuan Zhener released her hands covering the child's mouth and looked at her husband in confusion.
Dong Jin said: "I'll settle you down first, and then I'll go to Laizhou to visit."
