Zhi Xuan

Misfortune comes from heaven.

The leader of the rattan man and the mountain man sat by the fire, you looked at me, I looked at you, and sighed together.

They led the people up the river in order to find a place with high terrain to camp and settle down temporarily to survive the harsh winter.

In order to avoid side effects, both of them made repeated orders and asked the tribe to be cautious in their words and deeds.If you don't want to cause trouble, you must avoid the villages where you meet Nanyou people, let alone approach the city.If there is a caravan passing by, you can try to trade, if the other party is unwilling, never force it.

Learning from the lessons of previous years, the people of the tribe strictly abide by the orders, and everyone is cautious and careful, as if walking on thin ice.

Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, they could set up camp with peace of mind, and they didn't want any unexpected changes to occur. The Nanyou Lin soldiers suddenly came to the door and asked them to speed up and attack the North Anguo military camp located in the upper reaches of the river.

The Bei'an Kingdom moved southward with tens of thousands of troops. The news had already spread all over the country, and even the most isolated tribes had heard of it.

The leader of the army is Gongzi Hao, whose fierce reputation can be described as thunderous.

As the son of Bei'an Kingdom, he occupies a high position and has made great military exploits.Because the land was near the north, he frequently sent troops to the grassland, which made Di Rong frightened.He has never been defeated in the battle against the vassal states, and he is a veritable god of killing.

Nanman is indeed not smart, but he is not a fool either.Going to attack this camp is simply jumping to death!

Tengman and Shanman deliberately refused, but Lin Zu did not agree.

"If you don't go, you will die!"

Nanyou Kingdom has never been soft on the barbarian tribes.Fujiman Shanman listened to the tune, if he dared not to listen, the people who came would raise the butcher's knife first to let them know how powerful it was.

Being bullied and threatened face to face, the two leaders were furious, but they dared not speak out.Aggrieved and resentful, unable to speak, wished he could stab himself twice, close his eyes and let go.

Too bad they couldn't do that.

Once they die, the fate of the tribe will only be worse.Without a leader, the tribesmen would be driven away like cattle, lose their ability to resist, and be driven to death by swords.

"I promise!"

The leader of the vine man nodded first, and the leader of the mountain man hesitated for a moment, but also had to bow his head to reality.

The situation was pressing, and they had no other choice except to agree to Nanyou Country's request.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Lin Zu didn't stay long, and left the tribe quickly, braved the rain and sneaked into the forest, approaching the Bei'an army camp first.They didn't intentionally leave anyone to guard them. Tengman and Shanman knew their situation and didn't dare to run away.

When the visitors left, the leaders of the two ministries gathered together and sat beside the fire with sad faces, waiting for the priest to complete his prayers.

The rain is gradually decreasing, and the dark clouds in the sky have not dissipated, and the darkness is heavy on the top of the head, blocking the light, and the day is like night.

The priest bowed in the rain with his arms raised high, and the big bowl made of animal bones was filled with blood.The rain fell, and the blood flowed out of the mouth of the bowl, flowing along the arm of the priest, winding out a net-shaped red line.

The prayer lasted for a long time, and the people who stood by were restless and very anxious.

"fierce!"

A howl pierced through the rain curtain and fell clearly into everyone's ears.

Unexpectedly, the tribesmen did not fall into chaos, and all remained silent, with a desperate silence in their eyes, as if they had foreseen their own fate.

The tribal leader clenched his fists and beat his head and chest hard, but he couldn't bring the tribe out of desperation.

In the end, the two stood up from the ground, stood together in the rain with the tribesmen, looked up at the dark sky, opened their eyes wide, and let the rain wash over their eyeballs, causing bursts of stinging pain.

"Send the child out." The elder priest stood up with a bone knife in his hand.The long sacrifice exhausted his physical strength. At this moment, he was like a rotten tree, and his face full of gullies became more and more old.

"Boys and girls, don't divide into vine barbarians and mountain barbarians. As long as you can run out, the blood of the tribe will continue." The priest walked up to the crowd, beckoned a few children, and brushed his fingers across their foreheads to wipe the blood remaining in his fingers. The blood of the abdomen was stained on their foreheads.

Dozens of children were selected, armed with weapons and packages, and led by the two oldest teenagers, they walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

Since the feudal lords sealed the country, the clans have aggressively opened up the south, and the fight with the barbarians has never stopped.

When the Southern Barbarians were powerful, they gathered more than [-] people and rushed into the kingdoms of the princes, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes.For hundreds of years, the smoke of gunpowder spread all over the southern land, countless cities and villages were burned down, and even vassal states were destroyed in the war.

Such a tragedy is unimaginable for the northern clans, but the southern clans can never forget it.

Tengman Shanman was persecuted by Nanyou Kingdom, it seemed very pitiful.Tracing their history, we will find that when the two tribes were strong, they joined the tribal alliance, harassed the vassal states frequently, and participated in the war to kill the southern clans, and had great hatred with many southern vassal states.It is a blessing that the tribe can continue to this day, and there is nothing to complain about if Nanyou Country plans to use them as cannon fodder.

Watching the child go away, the back disappeared completely, the leader issued an order, and the tribesmen quickly began to prepare.

All materials that are not conducive to fighting were discarded, including tents that were hard to come by.The food from the two departments is gathered together, steamed and distributed to everyone to ensure that everyone can have a full meal.

As sunset approached, the sky grew darker.

The cold wind rolled up by the river, and the cold went straight to the bone marrow.

The tribesmen got ready and followed the leader in the rain, heading straight for the Bei'an army camp.

The camp of tens of thousands of troops occupies a very large area, and the dots of fire are arranged in an orderly manner, which is particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

As the patrolling soldier approached the fence, his instinct for danger made him stop, and he suddenly pointed his halberd sideways.

Almost at the same time, there was a sound of breaking wind, and nearly a hundred bone arrows flew towards the sky, two of them were astonishingly aimed, and hit the soldier's face directly.

"Enemy attack!"

The soldier issued an alarm, quickly pulled down his armor, and swept the halberd in his hand, blocking most of the arrows.

The second wave of arrows came, more numerous and denser.

The soldiers on patrol couldn't dodge in time, and were covered in the rain of arrows.The long halberd couldn't block all of them, some of the arrows landed on the body, making a piercing sound, but none of them could penetrate the armor.

This scene stunned the barbarians who shot the arrows, and also surprised Nan Youzuwu who was hiding in the forest.

Having dealt with the barbarians all the year round, Lin Zu knew their weapons very well.Using animal bones and stones as materials, carefully polished and processed with special concoction, the arrowheads are extremely sharp and can easily cut through leather armor.The arrow can also quench the poison, and several kinds of poisons can seal the throat with blood, and the lethality is astonishing.

If not, in the early years, the clan sealed in the south would not have suffered a big loss, and even died under the attack of the tribe.Afterwards, they took root in the fiefdom, gradually got used to the miasma, learned to distinguish and use poison, and the situation was only turned around.

The fighting power of the vine man and the mountain man is definitely not low, and they are also ranked among the most barbarian tribes, and the means of using poison are second to none.

The Nanyou army has dealt with them all year round, so they naturally have ways to restrain and counterattack.

The Bei'an army had just arrived, and they had never seen the methods of the barbarians before, and they were able to resist without any influence.

Lin Zu was shocked by this discovery and suddenly felt horrified.If the Bei'an army is not afraid of miasma or poison, what else can stop them?

Can it only be filled with human life?

When Lin Zu was stunned, there was a burst of gongs in the camp.

The fire suddenly lit up, and if you look closely, you will find that there are countless rockets.

not good!

Lin Zuli felt bad.

The speed at which the archers in the battalion assembled was too fast, without any haste, as if they had been prepared for a long time.

There were rows of carts behind the archers, and when the cloth was lifted, they were all remodeled catapults, like giant beasts dormant in the darkness.The moment the fire was lit, one after another woke up from their deep sleep.

The vine man and the mountain man were too close, and there was no way to hide under the firelight.

They charged with the belief that they must die, and when they were pointed at by Sen Leng's blade, they were like a broken ball. In an instant, their courage was completely lost.

Zhao Hao walked out from the tent, his scarlet robe was dyed like fresh blood, it was extremely thick and breathtaking.Raven-feather-like hair, jet-black eyebrows and eyes, as cold and white as a jade vessel, with an aura as sharp as a sword.

Under the firelight, Young Master Bei'an looked like a sharp weapon. Even though he was wrapped in gorgeous silk, he couldn't hide his bloodthirsty nature and chill.

The drums sounded, and the breaking wind hit.

The rocket flew across the night sky and roared towards it, like stars falling to the ground.

Shanman and Tengman raised their heads and opened their mouths wide.They were so frightened that they forgot to dodge, and stood there blankly, letting the rain of arrows cover them.

Surprisingly, the main target of the rocket is not them, but the dense forest not far from it.

The Bei'an army didn't mind deforestation. After the three rounds of arrow rain fell, the stone catapults threw fireballs.The fireball fell into the canopy of the tree, smashing the branches of the ancient wood, and the flames ignited blazingly, instantly forming a sea of ​​flames.

The heat wave hit people, and successfully forced out the hiding Nanyou country forest soldiers.

"Out of camp!"

When the order was issued, the slave who had been waiting for a long time rushed out, pushed open the wooden door as quickly as possible, removed the fences on both sides of the door and refused horses.

The archers got out of the way, and the armored cavalry galloped out. The sound of running thunder shook the earth, and they rushed to Lin Zu in an instant.

When encountering the galloping cavalry, Shanman and Tengman evaded hastily, fearing that they would be trampled by horseshoes.

Lin Zu is good at fighting on foot, and is used to hiding in the forest to attack the enemy, and rarely has experience in horse fighting.When encountering the cavalry under Zhao Hao's command, they were in a hurry and didn't know how to deal with it.

With a raging fire behind them, it was impossible for them to escape.

On the left is a big river, the river is flooded, no matter how good the water quality is, jumping into it is a dead end.On the right side were panicked barbarians and arrows, and the road was also blocked.

The forest soldiers had no choice but to take up arms and resist the galloping cavalry.

The sound of rushing thunder passed through, the sharp blade was pushed horizontally, and the blood light shot up into the sky.

In just one charge, more than a hundred forest soldiers lost half of them.The dead were lying in a pool of blood, their bodies and heads separated, and some of them had their arms cut off and became fragmented.

For Lin Zu, death in battle was not terrible, but this way of death terrified them.

After two seconds of sluggishness, the sound of horseshoes came from behind.

The cavalry turned their horses' heads and charged for the second time. The blades flashed past, blood was filled, and there were less than ten forest pawns who could stand.

"Keep alive." Zhao Hao ordered.

The messenger rushed to the battlefield, and the cavalry received the order. Instead of continuing to harvest the heads, they tightened their reins and rode their horses to surround the remaining soldiers. With their blades down, they said in a deep voice, "The descendants will not be killed!"

Only fifty riders, not even a forward, killed Lin Zu miserably.

Shanman and Tengman witnessed the whole process. They saw the cavalry dragging the captives back to the camp. No one escaped. They all lay on the ground, trembling all over.
