People die for money, and birds die for food, which is not easy for eternity.

In fact, the situation in Hewu is much more dangerous than Ma Qiu thought. Although the scale of this battle was not large, the bloody and tragic battle made some veterans of the Rong Brigade feel terrified.

Xiang Jiancheng is not weak, with more than 2,000 people, and he is surrounded by city walls and weapons, but it is the two fists that are difficult to defeat the four hands, and the tigers can't stand the wolves, and in the face of the crazy attack of the township coalition army, he is also completely behind. Due to the special backgrounds of the two warring parties, this makes this battle more of a battle of wills, rather than a contest of right and wrong.

This kind of local and powerful dispute, once the face is completely torn, it will be a situation that will never die. Xiang Jian's hatred for these rural traitors who plotted to rob his family business is self-evident, and he can't wait to peel them off and eat meat! And these villagers also understand that this mortal feud has been settled, if they can't completely end the frugality, they will inevitably face endless revenge in the future!

Therefore, there is no room for compromise between the two sides, and it is simply a life-saving style of play. In the end, the people outside the city relied on the strength of the crowd and besieged Xiang Jian and his relatives at the head of the city, and they themselves paid a heavy price, and the corpses they threw were stacked and even connected to the dock wall!

paid such a heavy price to finally conquer Hewu. These village leaders are also like red-eyed gamblers, and they don't even dare to think deeply about how to judge the gains and losses.

In particular, the picture of them besieging and killing Xiang Jian has been seen by the Fangtou Wang Master of Qi Water from beginning to end, and the previous idea of being left and right will be unsustainable, this time they are too deeply involved, and it is difficult to calmly withdraw anymore.

Soon, however, the frustration of the villagers was filled with the astonishing victory, and the entire Crane Dock, except for the corpses that could be seen everywhere, the general area of the Crane Dock was occupied by tall barns, and most of these barns were full of supplies.

After opening these barns, the villagers who fought bloodily were struck by a great sense of happiness for a while, and they were almost dizzy. In a trance, I felt that they had captured a township dock wall, and they simply rushed into the logistics camp of the Fangtou Wang Division!

There was no shortage of soldiers who rushed directly into the barn despite the blood stains all over their bodies, stretched out their arms and tried to hug those grain bags and rice bags, and let out a series of howls of excitement to the point of distortion, one by one like rats that had fallen into the rice tank, excited and unable to control themselves.

However, not everyone was surprised and lost their minds, and after the villagers rushed into the dock wall, the Yecheng army soon sent an order for the villagers to clear a space for the cavalry to enter the city for temporary recuperation.

"No, don't let the Karma army enter the city easily!"

Hearing this order, someone in the crowd suddenly let out a strange cry that was so rapid that it broke slightly. It was one of the village leaders, he came out of the crowd with his sword in hand, first ordered his subordinates to control the heralds, and then looked around at everyone with a cold face, and said in a condensed voice: "Everyone, do you want to put life and death in the hands of people? ”

When everyone heard this, most of them were stunned, but a few people vaguely guessed the reason, but they were not in a hurry to make a noise, just looked at the person who spoke like others.

"I don't know what you think, but as far as I'm concerned, this war is just shameless to bully people like this traitor and insult the villagers! As for the general trend in the south and the north, it is not up to us to decide. In this battle, my clan suffered heavy casualties, and it took such a heavy price to get in, and some of the captured goods can be compensated. But if the army is put in, how to divide the huge goods at that time, can it be decided by you and my villagers? ”

Hearing this person's shout, most of the people present came to their senses, yes, this dock wall was attacked by them regardless of casualties and at any cost. Once the people entered the city and saw these goods piled up in the barns, how could they be allowed to take them at will, with their always strong style!

"But, however, the army is thousands of people outside, how can we, how can we prevent them from entering the city? What's more, the Nanren had already seen us kill Xiang Jian on the water before, and had already regarded us as enemies, if we disgusted the army again, how should we survive in the future? ”

Some people couldn't help but say timidly, they themselves are surviving in the gap between the two forces, and this time they interfered too much in it, and they have already offended the Fangtou Wangshi, if they turn their heads and offend the Yedi army, how can they have a foothold in Hebei!

"That's a big fallacy! I can't wait for a group of poor villagers who are working hard to survive, and this time they have made a move, and it is because they are not angry with the thrifty thieves and insulting the villagers, and they are not driven by the king's order from any party! As for the rights and wrongs of the national fortunes, how can we, the outskirts, decide! ”

When the man said this, his eyes were already shining: "Moreover, the southerners regard themselves as holding on to the king's orders, but they disregard the hometown and treat such rural disasters as Xiang Jian with kindness. Even if we are provoked, it will only be a civil uprising, not a transgression against the king's command! ”

When everyone heard this, they gasped, and although they were not good people, they were also impressed by the new height of shamelessness that these words expressed. However, regardless of whether this argument is shameless or not, at least it is a possibility, that is, this time they are not targeting Fangtou Wangshi, but mainly to eradicate Xiang Jian, a traitor in the countryside.

In other words, they still have room to sit down and negotiate with the Fangtou Wangshi. Of course, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, you have to pass on this meaning to the Karma army, don't think that forcing them to conquer Hewu will make them completely break with the Fangtou Wangshi, and they can only rely on the Karma army to live, so as to ignore their public feelings.

With this leeway, they naturally have the confidence to negotiate with the Karma army in order to demand a return that can match the price they have paid!

At present, they have a huge fort in hand, and outside the dock wall is the confrontation between the Qianjun army and the strong army of the Fangtou Wangshi, which is the best time to negotiate. Once such a delicate opportunity is missed, who will really take them into account in the future, no matter which side they are on?

Although this kind of repetition of the war is really shameless and excessive, but this is the way of survival of the weak, only the real strong, their virtue, bottom line will be valued. If it is itself low into the dust, then the so-called principles and persistence are just a joke.

The man saw that everyone on the field was moved, but no one dared to speak first, probably because he was worried that the show would be harmed by the public, after all, Xiang Jian, the previous owner of this dock wall, was in trouble because of this.

"I'm not a traitor who wants to take advantage of the chaos to do evil, but I don't want to see the flesh and blood of the villagers scattered in vain. Today, I am willing to make a blood oath with the villagers, and if there is anyone who turns his back on the people in the future, he will invite the people to destroy him! ”

The man spoke, slashing the knife in his palm, smearing the blood stain on his lips, and then clenched his fist and waved the blood flowers loudly.

After everyone saw this, their expressions inevitably became more heavy, but at this moment, the situation was critical, and they were not allowed to think about it carefully, so more people waved their knives and cut their hands, and they made a bloody alliance.

At this moment, the Fangtou king's division is lined up on the river, and the knights of the Qianjun army are displayed in the river bay, but the focus of their attention is undoubtedly the crane dock located at the corner of the river. Previously, the army ridiculed the king for being close at hand but unable to save the people close to him, but when the city was broken, the army was unable to enter the city, and it was undoubtedly ridiculed by the king even more.

The general of the army also has a lot of understanding of the situation inside the dock wall at this time, and for those suspected anti-water behaviors of the villagers who refuse to accept them into the city, they are like thunder, if it weren't for the close proximity of the Fangtou Wangshi, they can land at any time, and they can't help but turn back and kill viciously!

At present, the three parties have reached a delicate balance, no one can move lightly, relatively speaking, it is the Fangtou Wang Shi who can be the most calm, and they are all on the boat, or on the other side of the shore clapping and laughing at this kind of fragile alliance that is embarrassed and rebellious at any time, and has begun to brew the next round of attacks.

In the face of this embarrassing situation of the dead, the military governor of the Na Karma army really couldn't think of how to solve it, but fortunately, at the moment, those villagers still looked like they were going to negotiate and there was no sign of attacking each other, so the military governor of the Nata army would shrink the formation and gather on the riverbank to guard against the left and right, and at the same time quickly ordered someone to report this abnormal speed to the rear.

A similar situation had been foreseen by Ma Qiu, but it broke out directly like this, which still caught him off guard. So on the one hand, he stepped up the mobilization and urged the army to rush to Hewu, and on the other hand, he sent people to Hewu with his letter to negotiate with the villagers.

"It is really convincing to make the king's mind calculate, and to make these jackals resentful and resentful because of their wealth, and to bind themselves with their hands and feet."

As the night gradually deepened, there were more and more Wang Shi's troops gathered on Qishui, and they had already exceeded 10,000, which was more than half of the strength of the defenders of the East and West Fangcheng. The three-way confrontation situation at the position of the river corner simply filled the air with a sense of embarrassment. Hurun inspected the boats and couldn't help but smile when he arrived at Xie Aiza's boat.

"Don't be optimistic, after all, our military goods are still in the hands of thieves."

Xie Ai didn't have much ease at this moment, and now it had reached the most critical moment for the success or failure of his layout, and it was also the worst state he originally expected. At present, Wang Shi seems to be sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, but in fact, a large number of materials and uses are in the hands of the other party, and the slightest difference in the pool is really worth the loss.

After all, although Wang Shi is known for his abundance of materials, such a huge amount of goods and losses really make people dare not slack off. In the final analysis, when Xie Ai made a plan, he still underestimated the determination of those villagers to eradicate heresy, and actually spent such a big price to capture Hewu. And it is precisely because the price paid by the public is too great that the arrangement of Xie Ai's trick becomes even more incomprehensible.

Xie Ai could already imagine what kind of anxious state Ma Qiu was in to rush here, and the more he reached the final stage, the more he did not dare to relax, and he had asked the sergeant in the lower reaches of Qishui more than once whether the swimming crossing had been completed, and whether the assembly of the war horses had been in place.

At midnight, the atmosphere of Hekou Stream was still solemn, but there were also new variables, a series of fires came towards it in the night, as if the star river was flowing on the ground, there was no doubt that it was Ma Qiu's reinforcements had arrived.

Ma Qiu's arrival directly tilted the situation, and the military strength of Qianhu was instantly dominant. And in order to stabilize the villagers in Hewu, Ma Qiu also cursed and swore an oath, and Lian Zuo promised to ensure that the villagers were given enough distribution compensation, and a consensus had been reached on the way.

Therefore, when he arrived, those villagers withdrew from Hewu in an orderly manner, and instead rode on the excellent war horses provided by the Qiang army, and the materials of Hewu began to be transported out in an orderly manner, giving priority to meeting the demands of these villagers.

Although being squeezed like this made Ma Qiu quite unhappy, if he really thought about it, this was not a kind of generosity to others, and it should be used to repay Xie Ai's old enmity for destroying Yecheng with the rebels last year. And if those villagers can taste the sweetness, this mode of minions coaxing and grabbing the land to share the spoils can also operate for a long time in the future, so that the southerners stationed in Hebei can become their transport brigade.

Thinking of the pride, Ma Qiu couldn't help but order someone to ride a horse and wander the riverbank, laughing and shouting at the southerner fleet on the river: "Thank you for your generosity and help me with military resources." Hebei Tianwang and the suburbs of the villagers, all of them are deeply grateful to you for this favor! In the coming days, the ruler will set up a high seat for hospitality! ”

The river was silent at first, and after a while, a louder response sounded: "The thief doesn't need to thank you, the prince wants to thank you for being stupid in commanding the army, and the soldiers were sent out, so that my Wang Shi ranger can ride through the empty gate of Ye City, and then add to the hero!" ”

When Ma Qiu heard this response, he froze for a while, and he had no leisure to laugh at Xie Ai, so he summoned his relatives and ordered: "Assemble scouts on the road and explore the safety of my Ye Town!" ”

In fact, Ma Qiu didn't have to do this, if he was willing to slow down and wait a little, the successor sergeant would be able to catch up and report the emergency military situation, the Yecheng camp had been trampled by the cavalry rushing from the west, and the soldiers were expelled from the wilderness and fled in all directions.

Of course, it's not too late, looking north, you can already vaguely see a slight light in the plains, of course, it doesn't look obvious here in Hewu, but near the left of Yecheng, you can see the fire rising to the sky, up to dozens of zhang of fire. The large number of bamboo, wood and wood stored here for the construction of Yecheng are even stronger, and the fire has all been submerged in the sea of fire!

Xie Ai's hole cards are buried in many layers, Ma Qiu peels off layer after layer, if he is not too worried about the situation in Hewu, he will only lose this part of Hewu's investment. If he can really calm down and endure to the end, he may fight back and kill the strange master sent to Yecheng by the Jin army.

Fangtou's military strength was stared at by the capricious villagers from all walks of life, and it was difficult to make flexible arrangements, and Liyang's troops were also nowhere to be hidden in Ma Qiu's cautious search. However, the 3,000 cavalry from Hanoi were finally able to break into pieces, avoid the detection of ears and eyes under several layers of cover, and once again smashed Yecheng!

Of course, at the moment, Xie Ai doesn't know what the battle situation is on the Yecheng side, he has done everything he should do, and there is no need to hide it, and he can even disturb the enemy's morale.

"Master Wang's surprise attack, break Ye City again! Hebei township thieves and wolves read the hearts of jackals, lived up to Wang Shi's mercy, seduced the slave army to harm our military defense, and after the drumming, there was no forgiveness for killing! ”

Xie Ai's cold voice sounded on the boat, and then through the surrounding soldiers, it quickly resounded in this space. Soon after, the drums and trumpets shook the sky, and the loud sound actually hit the villagers who were already nervous.

They took advantage of the delicate situation to negotiate with Ma Qiu before, and they were already on the verge of life and death, and their hearts were seriously overdrawn. Hearing this alarming roar again at this moment made me even more frightened.

Whether Yecheng is safe or not, Ma Qiushang is not sure, and he is confident that even if Yecheng is in an emergency, he will be able to control the people living there before he is convinced. But for those Hebei villagers who are already capricious, they have little confidence. Therefore, after hearing the roar and drums and trumpets of the Jin army, he immediately ordered the army to move closer to the Hebei villagers to prevent them from fleeing and rushing into chaos.

Although the two sides reached a consensus, the foundation of trust was still weak, and the abnormal movement of the army under Ma Qiu's army was nothing less than a signal in the eyes of those Hebei villagers, and suddenly someone rushed to the half-filled car, and the heart defense had collapsed, and shouted: "The army has no trust, and you can't take care of yourself, everyone should flee for their lives!" ”

The sound of drums and trumpets stopped abruptly, but the Hekou Stream did not become cold and silent because of this, and the noisy sound was higher and higher!
