generation hero

Yuan Tang returned to the Fenzhou military camp with some people scattered in the forest.The old and weak women and children were left outside the camp. Most of the Fenzhou army entered the mountain and the camp was empty. Yuan Tang contacted the refugees outside the camp and covered them to retreat to the forest in batches.

The people had almost evacuated, and the Fenzhou army who stayed behind in the camp became alert. Yuan Tang hid in the bushes with a grass circle on his head, and gestured to the people who ran into the bushes quickly.

The Fenzhou army shot arrows into the bushes, and everyone rushed down.After a shower of arrows, the Fenzhou Army began to gather people into the woods to search.

Yuan Tang was about to take someone away, but Huo Niang, who turned back together, stopped in front of Yuan Tang and said, "Wait a minute, do you want to leave like this?"

Yuan Tang frowned at her.

Huo Niang glanced at the approaching Fenzhou soldiers from the corner of her eye, a bloodthirsty gleam flashed in her eyes, and she said, "We help you save people, should you do something too, our village doesn't accept idlers."

"How are you going?"

Huo Niang raised her chin towards the Fenzhou military camp, sneered and said nothing.

Yuan Tang said to Yuan De: "Uncle De, you lead the people away first, and I will follow."

Yuan De glanced at Yuan Tang disapprovingly, and followed Yuan Tang's idea to lead people to hide in the dense forest.

Two Fenzhou soldiers who were investigating approached the bushes. After seeing the shadow of the tree, there were two people standing there. Yuan Tang quickly turned around, and before one of them shouted, he slashed down with a knife hand, jumped behind the other, and dropped his elbow.

After finishing the two, Yuan Tang took off their clothes, threw one of them to Huo Niang, and took away their weapons.

His sword had been confiscated by the Fenzhou Army long ago. The two soldiers didn't have swords, only daggers and spears, but it was better than bare hands.

Huo Niang watched his series of actions with some appreciation in her eyes, put on the soldier's clothes without hesitation, and said, "It's pretty quick."

Yuan Tang and Huo Niang sneaked into the Fenzhou military camp, the prefect of Aicheng never expected that a group of refugees would defect and some would turn back to the camp, and there were very few people staying in the camp.

Dozens of soldiers were also dispatched to search the mountains. Except for a few important sentry posts and warehouses that were still guarded, the rest of the camp was quiet.

Huo Niang said that this camp is very close to the exit of the Wushan Mountain Road, and it will reach the boundary of Aicheng after a dozen miles forward.It's no wonder that the Fenzhou Army is so confident.

The two of them dealt with the guarding soldiers and entered the tent where the ordnance was stored. Huo Niang couldn't move. She regretted not bringing more people in, so she could go back with more weapons.

Yuan Tang picked up a steel knife, turned his head and said, "If there are a few more people, we won't be able to get in."

After choosing the weapons, the two went to the grain depot again. The camp was very close to Ai City, and the officers and soldiers did not bring much grain and grass, but even if it was not much, they still had to burn it.

Huo Niang felt sorry again, hated that the food could not be moved back to the village, and Yuantang was going to burn it, but she refused, and wanted to grab Yuantang's torch. In the end, Yuantang was also a little annoyed, saying: "If you don't burn it, come in What are you doing, don’t you insist on coming in? Anyway, you can’t take it away.”

Later, Huo Niang still compromised.

The fire was raging, and soon attracted the attention of the soldiers in Fenzhou. Yuan Tang and Huo Niang took advantage of the chaos to sneak up on the soldiers fighting the fire.

When the two were about to leave the camp, they were identified by a dozen Fenzhou soldiers who came back.They had no choice but to fight desperately with the Fenzhou army, and finally escaped from the camp by taking advantage of the fire.

Yuantang himself is fine, he is used to this kind of desperate fight, but Huo Niang is impressive, as a girl, she is not weaker than a man in the slightest.

The two fled into the woods, covered in blood and sweat, and took a long time to calm down while holding on to the tree trunk.

Huo Niang leaned against the tree trunk and straightened her waist, silently wiped away the blood on the knife, and led Yuantang up the mountain.Huo Niang is as familiar with Wushan as she is at home, so she takes Yuan Tang along the path, and soon catches up with Yuan De.

They didn't go through the canyon in front of the cottage, but went around to a cave. There were oil lamps and torches in the cave. It should be the usual path of bandits. No wonder they are elusive in the mountains.

The exit of the cave is a hill not far from the cottage.Liu Yanping brought some people into the village and guarded the village together with the people inside. Looking from the hill, you can see Liu Yanping and the owner of the village standing on the tower.

The Fenzhou Army's plan to attack the village did not stop because of the defection of the refugees. Although the refugees destroyed some of the original deployments, after the refugees fled, the Fenzhou Army quickly assembled.

Just as Yuan Tang speculated before, the formation of the regular army cannot be arranged in the mountains, and its performance is not as good as that on the flat ground. However, the Fenzhou Army has a large number and is well-equipped. Even if it is limited, it is still better than the mountain bandits. Nothing at all.

It has been more than half a day for Yuantang and the others to travel between the military camp and the village. The front of Wuzi Village is in a mess, piled up with stones and logs to half the height of the wall, and there is even a gap in one corner of the wall. The people in the village are facing The State Army's offensive filled that gap.

Huo Niang was extremely anxious, wishing to rush up immediately, Yuan Tang grabbed her.

"What are you doing!" Huo Niang trembled with excitement, staring at Yuantang with red eyes.

Yuan Tang said: "Are you going to die!"

"Let go of me." Huo Niang said: "Didn't you see that they have already hit the door? You don't even want to escape, your people are still in the cottage." She grabbed Yuan Tang with her backhand, as if Yuan Tang would be gone the next moment. Like to run away.

"If you want to die, I won't stop you. Can you save me?" Yuan Tang looked at her and said.

Huo Niang calmed down a bit: "How to save it."

Yuan Tang said calmly: "You are familiar with the surrounding terrain, take a few people to guard the entrance of the canyon in front, and don't let the people who reported the news from the camp pass by."

Huo Niang was still a little confused for a while, Yuantang explained: "If the prefect of Aicheng knows that the camp has been destroyed, he will definitely take your village away in a fit of anger."

Although Huo Niang was in a hurry, she quickly regained her senses and said, "Then what should I do?"

Yuan Tang said: "You guard the valley entrance, find a way to set up obstacles at the valley entrance, and wait until it gets dark."

Under the guidance of Huoniang, Yuan Tang, Yuan De and a dozen young men sneaked into the village from a hidden place on the mountain, while the women and children among the refugees temporarily hid in the mountains and forests.

When Wuzizhai learned that the officers and soldiers had entered the mountain, the women and children in the village moved to caves in the deep mountains to take refuge. There were less than 500 men in the village who could handle the matter. Travelers, the area around the city of Ai is also the scope of their activities.

With the help of the mountains and forests, Wuzizhai has become a major hidden danger near Aicheng. However, once the regular army finds them, the bandits have no advantage, and these hundreds of people are no match for the encirclement and suppression by the army.

When Yuan Tang and Yuan De sneaked into the stronghold, the offensive of the Fenzhou government army stopped for a while, and the inside and outside of the stronghold walls were horrific.Liu Yanping was well versed in the method of defense, so he first ordered people to demolish the houses in the village, build up the walls with stones and wooden beams, and pour hot oil on the outer walls, so that the officers and soldiers of the various states could not climb.

The officers and soldiers of Fenzhou were originally determined to win, but they didn't expect to be betrayed by the front of the battle and stubbornly resisted by the bandits. They entered the mountain to suppress the bandits, and it was inconvenient to transport the attacking equipment into the mountain.

However, the prefect of Aicheng went out in person, so naturally he couldn't withdraw his troops just because he couldn't attack.

Huo Niang's eldest brother is tall and thin, with a loud voice, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Huo Niang's, his surname is Luo, people in the village call him Luo Da or Luo Boss, and Huo Niang is also surnamed Luo.

The brothers and sisters fled to the Wushan Mountains in the early years to escape the disaster of war. Later, they formed a village in the Wushan Mountains to recruit brothers and occupy the land as kings.

Luo Daben couldn't bear to cooperate with Liu Yanping. He still remembered Yuantang and the others' revenge for catching Huo Niang, and he didn't believe them. Liu Yanping joined forces to resist.He is a person who knows current affairs. Seeing that Liu Yanping is calm in front of the battle and can command people to guard the stronghold, he first wiped out half of his previous impatience. When the two of them defended against the enemy together, he admired Liu Yanping's insightful means even more, and secretly guessed Liu Yanping's Identity, but put aside the earlier "enmity".

It turned out that when Yuantang and the others crossed the Wushan Mountains, wars broke out in Beicheng. The cavalry of the Yichi people fought against the Di people in the northern part of Fenzhou. The south Nanxia Qizhou was controlled by the Di people last year. Chaos broke out, and Di Ren had to withdraw his troops to help, but Su Shoukui took advantage of the loophole.Now Qizhou and Muzhou are under the control of Su Shoukui.

After Di Ren left, Su Shoukui wiped out all of Di Ren's remaining troops in Qizhou, and made a statement to the Nanxia court, saying that he was loyal to Nanxia, ​​and he had no choice but to make a deal with Di Renxu, please be named Mu and Qi Erzhou As the governor, he sent troops to the border between Muzhou and Fenzhou.

Fenzhou was in a dilemma on both sides, with no external aid, and Jiang Yue, the governor of Fenzhou, had to consolidate internal defense.

Bandits in Wuzizhai have been a problem near Aicheng for these years. The prefect of Aicheng used this solid defense to eliminate bandits and confiscated the supplies hoarded in Wuzizhai.

Wuzizhai has been established for several years, and to support such a large population, the village has accumulated a lot of money. If Aicheng can pull out the village, all the supplies and people in the village can be used as troops.

Don't say that these bandits have been used to running amok in the mountains, even ordinary people don't want to join the army when the war is about to start, let alone the officers and soldiers want to raid the village, so Luo Da decided to bring his brothers to resist.

There are seven to eight hundred bandits and refugees in the village. The construction of Wuzizhai has a certain degree of defense, but it cannot be compared with the solid walls of the city, and it is difficult to compete with the well-equipped officers and soldiers of Fenzhou.

The Fenzhou army made some adjustments and gathered outside the gate again. They gathered local materials, felled wood and carried it to the front of the cottage, trying to break open the gate of the village.

The outer wall of Wuzizhai is fairly high, but not strong enough, and the stone ramps erected temporarily are not that strong. If the car is transported to the mountains, the village will probably be destroyed long ago.

Knowing that the cottage is not solid, Luo Da panicked and said, "How can this be done?"

Liu Yanping and Yuan Tang looked at each other, and Yuan Tang said, "If you can't keep it, you have to abandon it."

Luo Da was furious when he heard the words: "What do you mean!" He had the same temper as Huo Niang, and when he got anxious, he didn't have a good face on people, and even wanted to catch them.

He picked up Yuan Tang's collar with one hand, and questioned: "Didn't you agree to help us fight off the enemy? Let me tell you, don't even try to escape if they come in from outside."

Yuan Tang separated Luo Da's hand, twisted it with his backhand, and firmly pressed Luo Da's palm onto the wooden table.

Luo was so angry that his face was flushed, Yuan Tang gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you so anxious, if you can't keep it, it's fine as long as people can live."

Luo Da woke up, panting heavily and glaring at Yuan Tang.
