Chapter 14: Frosthoof Chasing the Wind (19)

The camp site was still brightly lit in the darkness of night.

The burden of nearly 100 catties on his shoulders and his empty stomach made Xiao Haili stumble, staggering on the narrow path leading to the outer wall.

In the past, he had no experience in working and farming, but after ten days of training, he was able to stabilize the burden full of yellow mud on his shoulders, even if he was still shaking. However, Xiao Haili hated this kind of training, and hated this ability to be forced out by whips and knives and guns.

Obviously, he was the chief who led 300 cavalry to vote, and he should have been entertained by the Song people in the expected way, and he should even be the object of flattery, but he was sent by a colleague to pick up the earth and ram it.

After entering the camp of the Song army, the weapons and horses were all taken away, and the rebels were immediately killed. Under the siege of the Song people, there was no room for resistance at all.

A burst of heart-piercing pain made Xiao Haili turn his head to look at the shoulder carrying the burden. The skin was torn again, blood seeped out, and new blood stuck to the worn sheepskin jacket. The place where the blood blister breaks, when it grows, is mostly a thick layer of calluses, just like the calluses practiced by pulling a bow and wielding a knife in the hand. But the calluses that were worn out back then made him happy and proud, and the calluses on his shoulders only made him a laughing stock, and even after he went back, he couldn't go back shirtless until the calluses receded.

But as long as you can go back, it's good to be embarrassed.

"Rubbing what?!"

With a scolding, the whip broke the wind immediately, and Xiao Haili was in a hot and sharp pain behind him, so painful that he staggered and rushed a few steps in a row before he stabilized. Xiao Haili didn't understand the words of the Han people, but the whip and the severe pain were easier for Xiao Haili to understand the impatience in the hearts of the Song overseers than any words.

Xiao Haili gritted his teeth fiercely, lowered his head and steadied the burden on his shoulders. When will the people who come to the rescue come, I knew that there would be today's situation in Ludao, and found an excuse to push off this errand.

More than 3,000 people were divided into a full 100 teams. Only the top ten teams that complete the best and fastest every day are rewarded with food and labor, and the vast majority of the rest of the teams are all based on not starving to death and being able to continue working the next day, and receive daily rations.

After making a mistake, they were directly whipped to death, and even dragged to hang and beheaded in front of everyone, and there were more than a dozen people every day. And if you want to escape from here, it is simply impossible. The round-the-clock work exhausted everyone's physical strength, and the Song people who monitored the construction site around did not show any flaws at all.

Xiao Haili thought a lot of times that it was better to starve to death in the desert. Building a walled city for the Song people here is even more painful than starving to death.

Under the oppression of the Song people, the surrounding party members dare to be angry but dare not speak, but the more severe the oppression, the more serious the outbreak will be. The reason why Xiao Haili was able to endure it was precisely because he was waiting for this opportunity.

Xiao Haili's gloomy gaze bypassed the surrounding overseers, as long as the opportunity came, he would not leave any of the Song people here.

Just bear with it for a while......

"No one will survive if this continues!!"

With a loud roar, the companion who was only a few steps away from Xiao Haili in front suddenly dropped the burden in his hand and only took the wooden stick in the middle in his hand. Swinging left and right, he flew aside the two nearest overseers.

"Aru Belt!" Xiao Haili was in a hurry, that was his own brother. I have endured it for so many days, and I can't help it at this time, but I have lost all my efforts.

"What are you waiting for!?" Aru came back with a roar, "You want to pick up dirt to death?!" ”

Xiao Haili was about to say something more, and more than a dozen overseers immediately surrounded him skillfully. Several people in the inner circle are holding rods, and in the outer ring are a ripped open bow of the divine arm.

Several arrows shot out from the hands of the Song people who were overseeing the work around, and the huge force of the Divine Arm Bow easily shot the arrows into the mud at close range, and successfully frightened a few coolies who were about to move.

The Divine Arm Bow was beside him, and Xiao Haili couldn't move, even if it was his closest brother, he couldn't reach out. Just like that, I watched him being shot through his body by random arrows.

Xiao Alu is a rare warrior, and even the explosion of giving up his life did not last for a moment. Wielding a club, he knocked over several overseers in quick succession, but immediately there was a volley of arrows. At a very close distance, Kiba Short Arrow, who was off the string, completely penetrated his body.

The blood that flowed from his brother's body meandered like a stream to Xiao Haili's feet. Looking down at the dark red on his toes, Xiao Haili stood quietly. If there is still a glimmer of hope to get out of trouble, Xiao Haili will fight with others here to live and die.

"He just talked to you, didn't he?" Two overseers dragged away Xiao Alu's body, and another stood in front of Xiao Haili.

Xiao Haili's conversation with his younger brother just now could not attract the attention of the Song people, and he must be interrogated to understand.

But Xiao Haili didn't move, just staring at his toes. There was a faint vibration on the ground, so subtle that it was hard to notice. But in the feeling that Xiao Haili, who had been waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, was as loud as a morning bell and a dusk drum.

It's finally here.

Xiao Haili laughed miserably, not knowing whether it was sad or happy. He looked at the dark red of his toes, and he was obviously one step away.

But the opportunity has finally come!

The Song people reacted, and the shrill sound of horns came from the spaceship flying high in the air. With the Eyes of the Heavens, any raid is ten times more difficult.

The overseer who was interrogating Xiao Haili immediately let go of all doubts when he heard this, and the other overseers also became nervous all of a sudden, as if they heard the drum and trumpet on the formation.

The coolies, who were busy on the construction site, were driven to the special camp where they lived at the sound of the horn. Many people have realized that it must be the Liao people who are attacking, but no one has yet taken the lead.

Following the flow of people, Xiao Haili took a deep breath, his body tensed, and the time finally came.

……………………

There are thousands of people at once, and there is no shore.

However, that is still the standard of infantry, and in the case of cavalry, only half of the number is enough. Looking down from the spaceship, the pits and valleys were full of black and oppressive Liao cavalry.

The cavalry of the Liao army approaching the Liufachuan camp from the north was about five or six thousand.

As the strongest cavalry in the world, the mountains and fields were pressed all over the mountains before the camp that had not yet been fully completed, and the sense of oppression was far from being comparable to that of a mere party item.

From the Wuqing army to the Liufa Chuan village, there is only no more than forty miles of mountain roads. Since the Wuqing army went south, it only took half a day to be enough. After only a few dozen miles of galloping, for the cavalry who are accustomed to hard fighting, it is just the time to warm up before the big battle, and it is the time when the combat power is at its highest.

But Zhi Keda and Zhi Keren, who were in the camp of Liufachuan, could not see the slightest fear on the faces of the two.

"Is Xiao 13 confused? We have a good position to defend, what walled city can't hold? A mere 5,000 soldiers and horses also want to attack the city? ”

"The goal of the main force of the Liao army seems to be Nuanquan Peak. The attack on Liu Fachuan's side should be a cover. ”

"Then don't ask for help from Shengzhou?"

"Just follow the established strategy. It had already been decided in Shengzhou before, so I did it. ”

Zhe Keren and Zhe Keda were both ordered by Han Gang to participate in the discussion of the battle plan. For the possible offensive direction of the Khitans, they all know in their hearts. In the pre-war planning of Shengzhou, the strategies that most of the Liao people might use were predicted, and then a plan was made to deal with it, so that the generals who commanded the large battalions everywhere knew what to do.

He was about to give the order to the soldiers below, but in the corner of the walled city, which already had a rough outline, suddenly a flame rose and thick smoke billowed up.

A junior colonel galloped forward and shouted loudly from afar, "General Sixteen! Little General! Those coolies have rebelled! ”

"Still waiting for you to say?" Zhe Keren condescendingly looked down at the camp below: "I have seen it." ”

The resentment that had been built up suddenly erupted, and the party members who were confined in the camp finally chose to rebel.

"I can endure it until now, it seems that after the Montenegrin tribes were driven out of their hometowns, they didn't have the sharpness they should have." Zhe Keda even looked down on these wastes who were beaten by the Liao people and lost their armor, "I'm afraid it will only take half a month to completely solve it." ”

"Let them mess up." Zhi Keren sneered, "It must be the group of Khitans who made the first move, and then the Montenegrin tribes dared to follow up." ”

Zhe Ke scratched his head: "Xiao Thirteen won't think that three hundred people will not show any flaws in the process of working and lurking here, right?" ”

If it's one person or two, it's fine, but three hundred people, disguised as a tribe, how can there be no flaws at all. The party's words alone are a bunch of flaws, and the habit of doing things cannot make people have no doubts at all.

Moreover, two Liao tribes had been discovered before, although they were all replaced by beheading skills, but no one could say that Xiao Shisan sent these two armies with a total of 700 people. In order to search for another army and horses that might be there, everyone tensed their nerves and pulled out Xiao Haili's team early.

After finding out the identity of this part, Zhe Keren was not half proud of his foresight. The more important doubt was in his heart. Since the Liao people should be in trouble here, then Liu Fachuan should be their main target.

"It's not Warm Springs! It is true that most of the people who appeared on the side of Nuanquan Peak were the main force of the Liao army, but Xiao Shisan's target was definitely still in Liufachuan. He wants to be inside and out! ”

The first troops pressed the Liufa River, and then the main force appeared in Nuanquan Peak. Let everyone think that the five or six thousand horsemen who approached the Yanagifa River were just a cover. But in fact, the real target is still Yanagi Fachuan.

Between Liufachuan and the Wuqing army is a mountain range, and the road in the middle is not very wide. For cavalry who are better at galloping, there is not much room for maneuver on the battlefield, five or six thousand cavalry is already more than enough, and no matter how much there is, it is just a matter of taking turns to fight. At the moment, it only needs to be finalized, and there is no need to fight at all.
