Da Mo City is a small city, with a radius of only five miles, but it is a stubborn stone in front of Wei Qing.It has been more than a month since he arrived here with 10,000 foot soldiers, but he is still wandering outside the city, unable to advance an inch.It's not that Da Mo City is difficult to attack, but it has been raining, and there is knee-deep water outside Da Mo City, it is too deep to walk, and it is too shallow to take a boat, Wei Qing can only look at the city and sigh.The rain dripped down the hat, Wei Qing felt that his body was wet, his battle robe was sticking to his body, the skin on his hands was also soaked white and wrinkled, and his combat boots had long been soaked with water, and they made a noise when he moved.Wei Qing put down his clairvoyance, let out a long sigh, and turned around and greeted, "Go back." ”Wei Tao, who was leaning against the tree, answered and beckoned the guards back to the camp.The guards remained silent and walked back silently.The rainy weather for many days made them very depressed, and they didn't even have any interest in laughing.The mountain road was wet and slippery, and not only could you not ride a horse, but you also had to be careful on foot.Zhengwu was at the foot of the mountain, standing under a big tree, chatting with Zhengbian without a word.Hearing the voice above, he subconsciously glanced up, and then shrunk his neck again.Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong and looked up again.At the top of several large trees on the hillside, there was an abnormal shaking, and several figures loomed."
Not good" Zhengwu was taken aback, immediately got up, pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted at the same time: "There are assassins, there are assassins" shouted as he ran up the hillside."
Zhongqing, be careful" Zheng Fang and the others were startled, and they didn't have time to think about it, so they pulled out their weapons one after another and followed Zheng Wu to chase up.Although he had been with Zhengwu for several months, Wei Qing and the others were still not very accustomed to his accent.In a hurry, Zhengwu spoke in the local language, and Wei Qing couldn't hear it clearly.But.Seeing Zhengwu and the others draw their weapons and rush over, they instinctively raised their vigilance.However, they were wary of the bottom of the mountain, but they did not see the top of their heads.A figure leaps down from the thick canopy.Such as a dexterous ape.In mid-air, the machine spring sounded softly, and two crossbow arrows that were only two feet long flew out and went straight to Wei Qing.A guard behind Wei Qing saw the figure above his head and broke out in a cold sweat.Flying up and crashing into Wei Qing."
Bah" Wei Qing was knocked unsteadily, fell to the ground, and rolled down the hillside.Two bolts were fired almost in equal order, one on the ground and the other on the guard's right arm.The guard roared in pain, pulled out the crossbow arrow with his left hand, stabbed it at the assassin who had just landed, and drew his sword with his right hand, swinging it sideways.The Assassin landed unsteadily.In order to dodge the arrow, he stumbled and was slashed by a sword.He had no armor on his body, and his waist was slashed by a sword, tearing a large gap.A fountain of blood gushed out, instantly staining his clothes red.He screamed in pain, threw himself at him, strangled the guard's neck with his bowstring, and pulled hard.The guard's neck was cut by the bowstring, and blood splattered out.Fall to the ground.Wei Qing was stopped by a large tree, and watched as the guard had his neck cut by the assassin with a bowstring, but he didn't have time to scream.More Assassins jumped from the trees and emerged from the dense bushes and bamboo forests on all sides.Most of them are short in stature.But they are very agile, even on slippery and muddy slopes, they can run fast and steadily, and some simply run on all fours, like animals.A fierce look, coupled with tattoos on his face and body, and a babbling cry in his mouth.It's chilling.Wei Tao was shocked and angry.He was a personal guard, and the presence of assassins around him was his dereliction of duty.If Wei Qing had any accidents, his suicide would not be enough to atone for his sins.He rolled and crawled, rushed towards Wei Qing, jumped up halfway, knocked down an assassin who had raised his crossbow and was about to shoot Wei Qing, and stabbed the assassin in the stomach without daring to get up.The assassin let out a terrible scream, strangled Wei Tao's neck with his bow, opened his mouth, bit Wei Tao's ear, and tore it hard.Wei Tao screamed in pain, holding the knife in both hands, and with lateral force, he pulled the assassin's stomach apart.The assassin fell to the ground, steaming intestines and blood pouring down.In a matter of moments, the two sides were mixed together, and the killing was inseparable.The Assassins were nimble, able to run on slippery slopes, take advantage of the terrain to wrestle, and occasionally shoot arrows.Wei Tao and the others are tall and strong, the armor on their bodies is solid, the weapons in their hands are sharp, and they dare to fight hard, in order to save Wei Qing, they fight for their lives.For a time, there was no winner or loser.The situation was urgent, Wei Qing didn't care about his identity, his back was against the big tree, his feet stood still, he pulled out the war knife that Liang Xiao gave him, slashed left and right, and cut down the two assassins who rushed in front of him to the ground one after another.Zhengwu led people to catch up.They had the agility of an assassin and quickly turned the tide around.Seeing this, the leader of the assassins did not dare to slack off, took a breath, and disappeared into the dense forest.Calm returned to the mountains and forests, leaving only the frightened Han soldiers and blood and corpses all over the ground.Wei Tao gasped for breath and looked vigilantly at the corpses all around, his heart palpitating.In just a few dozen breaths of fighting, at least ten guards were killed, but only three Assassins were killed.Wei Qing also put the knife into the sheath and wiped the rain off his face."
What kind of person is this" Zhengwu crouched down and turned over an assassin lying on the ground.The Assassin also had a black tattoo on his face, which looked like a bird.Zhengwu frowned, reached out and opened the assassin's mouth to take a look, and stood up."
This is a monk raised by Yu Shan.""
Moshi" Wei Qing was puzzled."
The Mo family" is not the ink of the Mo family, it is the silent silence.These people have their tongues cut out to ensure that secrets are not divulged, and at the same time have the intention of keeping others silent. ”Zhengwu paused, his brows furrowed."
I always thought that Yu Shan was just talking, but I didn't expect him to really have such an assassin.It seems that he is really in a hurry, and he is bent on killing you and me, and even such people have been sent. ”When Wei Qing heard this, he was also a little frightened, and he was speechless for a while.Back at the camp, Wei Qing found Zhang Cigong and Gongsun Ao and informed them of the Assassins.When Zhang Cigong and Gongsun Ao heard this, they were also frightened.Although Wei Qing stood in front of them unscathed, they were still frightened.If Wei Qing had any accidents, their future would be ruined."
Zhongqing, this Minyue is really troublesome."
Zhang Cigong cursed: "The place on the map that looks like it is only a day's journey cannot be reached for three or five days, there are mountains and forests everywhere, rivers everywhere, and it rains at every turn."
I can't fight.Zhongqing, let's retreat. ”"Retreat" Wei Qing glanced at Zhang Cigong and sneered.Gongsun Ao patted his knees with one hand and tugged at his stubby beard with the other.Eyes twinkle."
Zhong Qing, this battle is too inexplicable.Where is this war, this is simply drilling into the woods.You see how long we have been in the mountains, how many battles we have fought, how many times we have seen the enemy rain every day.The skin was rotten, the grain was moldy, and the soldiers were getting sick more and more.If we continue like this, we don't have to fight, and we will lose. ”"Isn't it?"
Zhang Cigong scolded: "It's all Yan An's scholar, what nonsense."
The Yellow River breached, not to mention the withdrawal of troops for disaster relief, but also to forcibly take South Vietnam.Now it's good, don't talk about Nanyue, the little Minyue is enough for us to drink a pot. ”Wei Qing waved his hand."
Don't say it.Yan An is not to blame for this, and we can only be blamed if we are to blame.Yan An is a native of Linzi, and he has never been to Minyue, so how do you know what the rainy season is all about.Let's stay up for two more days, and when the rainy season is over, it will be much better. ”"What about the grain" "Grain" Wei Qing also had a headache.As a striker, he has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Minyue.Han Anguo led the main force to be stationed in Huiji, and the two sides seemed to be not far apart, only more than a hundred miles, but the mountain road was difficult to walk.It also rains a lot, and flash floods break out often, so it's not an easy task to bring grain here.The best thing to do now is to retreat.Retreat to a place where transportation is convenient.But he did not dare to withdraw, he knew that the Son of Heaven was waiting for the news of victory, especially the news of his victory.If he didn't leave without a fight, he didn't know what would be the result of what would greet him.Wei Qing bent over and was silent.He felt tired, tired from his bones.Wei Tao walked in quickly.He scraped the mud off his feet on the tent post at the door, shook his head, and shook off the drops of water from his face."
General, the Imperial Doctor has a book."
Wei Qing raised his head, Wei Tao walked over, and the general newspaper was handed to Wei Qing.Wei Qing opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning, revealing joy."
That's great.""
What's wrong," Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong asked in unison.Wei Qing is overjoyed."
The imperial court has sent a Huainan naval division to attack Minyue Zhicheng by sea, and we don't need to suffer in the mountains and forests.""
Huainan Water Division" Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Lou Chuan" "That's right, it's Lou Chuan." ”Wei Qing thought about it, and felt a little regretful."
It's a pity that Bo Ming hasn't been able to build a ship in Yuzhang, and now he can only use Huainan's building boat to make up the numbers.Although it is here now, it will not be of much use for a while.There are hurricanes from time to time, and even the building boat is not safe. ”Zhang Cigong pursed his lips and stopped talking.Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi rushed to Sui'an with five hundred cavalry.Sui'an is a small city, not far from the sea.Liang Xiao was not very familiar with the terrain of this area, and the Han Dynasty sources he was familiar with barely mentioned this small city.Not only Sui'an, but also many place names in Nanyue and Minyue are not well known in the history books of the Qin and Han dynasties.Liang Xiao estimated that this area should be Fujian Province, which has entered the later generations, between Xiamen and Shantou, and he did not know where it was located.There was a big difference between the coastline of the Han Dynasty and later generations, especially the place where the estuary was located.The alluvial plains by the sea along the way, if you don't have to carry weapons and travel in a hurry, this should be a good trip.Typhoons often pass through, so you have to find a place to take shelter, and the time to rush is about the same as the time to rest.When I arrived in Sui'an, it was already mid-October.Although I am tired, there is good news.First, the rainy season has come, and then it will be a dry season that lasts for half a year, not only are typhoons rare, but even the rain is relatively small, which is a good time for combat.The second is that Liang Xiao once again saw the advantages of the Dian horse, which can bear weights and climb mountains, except for the limited speed, everything else is good.Liang Xiao met Zhao Guang, the king of Qin.Zhao Guang was about thirty years old, of medium stature, and had a slightly dark complexion.Like other South Vietnamese, he wore a bun and a short stub, and a three-legged bird with outstretched wings tattooed on the back of his hand.According to Zhao Yingqi, Zhao Guang's mother is a South Vietnamese person, so he has South Vietnamese blood in his veins, and his appearance is somewhat of a Yue person.Seeing Zhao Yingqi, Zhao Guang didn't say much, he seemed very calm, and Liang Xiao even felt that he was a little pretentious.As a front-line general, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly came, and his reaction was inevitably too indifferent, and there was a deliberate estrangement in addition to being reserved.Liang Xiao believed that Lu Jia must have sent someone to inform him, maybe in his eyes, he and Zhao Yingqi were already dead.The crown prince is noble, but there is no threat to the dead prince.In contrast, Zhao Guang's eyes when he looked at Liang Xiao were quite normal.As soon as Liang Xiao entered the door, he took the initiative to stand up and bow down."
Zhao Guang has seen Liang Junhou."
Liang Xiao chuckled: "King Qin is too polite.Although I am from Chang'an, I am just a marquis, but you are the king, it stands to reason that I should salute you. ”Zhao Guang smiled awkwardly.The prince laughed.What kind of king, it's just an expedient measure to make the barbarians obedient, don't take it seriously.When the imperial court Enwei Pushi Lingnan is concerned, we estimate that we will all have to change our name to Hou.Since they are all marquis, they are naturally respected by those who eat more. ”Liang Xiao snorted.There are many murderous opportunities in the question and answer.The Zhao family called the king to the imperial court, but in Lingnan, he promised himself to be the emperor, so Zhao Guang could be crowned the king of Qin.And Zhao Guang's answer was also soft and hard, implying that once Zhao Yingqi's court took control of South Vietnam, the Zhao family would lose its glory, reminding him not to get too close to Liang Xiao.Along the way, Zhao Yingqi has been brainwashed countless times by Liang Xiao, and he turned a deaf ear to Zhao Guang's ridicule and was indifferent."
Uncle Wang, you must have received news from Lu Jia and know what we are here for."
Zhao Yingqi grinned, and was also insincere."
You don't have to worry, we only have five hundred horses, a thousand horses, and we don't play a big role, but we just help Uncle Wang.Uncle Wang has been out for more than half a year, and the concubine misses it very much. ”Zhao Guangpi replied with a smile."
Yes, I also want to go back to Panyu as soon as possible.You have come too well, defeat Minyue and take the important task of Dongzhi, it depends on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prince.The king and Lu Xiangke are waiting for the news of your victory in Panyu. ”Liang Xiao waved his hand, interrupting this kind of unnutritious mutual sarcasm a little roughly."
His Royal Highness King Qin, we are martial artists, so let's leave this kind of bickering matter to Lu Xiang and Yan An to do.We are new to the city and the situation is unknown, so please tell us about the situation. ”Zhao Guang glanced at Liang Xiao and waved his hand.A military officer brought over a few pictures.The picture is made of four wooden planks, on which are drawn some circles with ink lines and some long lines with red lines, which are supposed to refer to mountains and water.However, the drawing is very sketchy, and it should have little practical meaning except for a general look.Liang Xiao frowned."
This is the marching map used by His Highness" Zhao Guang nodded lazily, opened his mouth, and yawned."
That's right, South Vietnam is all barbarians, drawing these things, they are not very good at it, it is not easy to draw like this:
