Chapter VIII Attack

Wuren Mountain is actually a hilly area, with an altitude of only two to three hundred meters. It is only a small hill in the south, but in the vast terrain of the two rivers, it can be regarded as a big mountain. Although this mountain is not very tall,

It is steep, but it is better because of the criss-crossing ravines, deep valleys and dense forests. It is indeed difficult to search for hundreds or even thousands of people hiding there.

Legend has it that during the ancient Yin and Shang Dynasties, King Zhou killed Bigan here, and later generations wronged him, so it was named Wuren Mountain. But thousands of years later, this Wuren Mountain once again welcomed a large group of "Wangren Mountain" who had suffered a lot.

”.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on a deep valley in Wuren Mountain. This place that used to be inaccessible is now densely packed with people sitting or lying on the ground. Looking up, it seems that there are thousands of people there.

Di Lie was sitting on a raised boulder at a high place, silently watching the group of people fleeing for their lives. His head almost became two big ones. He didn't expect that last night's dangerous escape was just the beginning.

The headache for him was yet to come.

The people were saved, but the danger was not over. More than ten miles away to the south, there was a Jin army camp watching them with eager eyes. They didn't know when they would pounce on them viciously, capture them all, and beat them back to their original shape.

Compared with the golden soldiers that can appear at any time, hunger is the most important threat at the moment.

These Song prisoners had almost nothing to live with. They were used as laborers along the way to transport the large amounts of materials that the Jin people plundered from Bianjing. They worked hard every day, but did not have enough to eat. In addition, they were hungry and exhausted after running all night.

Everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their bellies. After finally making it to dawn, they spontaneously formed groups of three and five and searched for food all over the mountains and fields. No matter what insects, rats, eggs, or wild fruit flower stems, they were enough to fill their bellies without being fatal.

Swallowed everything.

Di Lie had nothing to do, let alone others, just himself. The few calories last night were almost consumed after a whole night of tossing.

If this problem is not solved, and there is no need for Jin soldiers to search the mountains, these refugees who have finally escaped from the tiger's den will enter the wolf's den again, and they will obediently send them to the door themselves. In that case, all the efforts he has made before will be in vain.

It's all in vain.

When he was thinking hard, he saw the young craftsman A Ji climbing over on his hands and knees, took out an oilcloth bag from his arms, and handed it to Di Lie respectfully. Di Lie was a little strange: "What is it?" But he smelled it with his nose.

There was a smell of meat, and my heart moved. I opened it and saw that it was the meat I packed last night. The portion was obviously smaller, but it was still half a leg of lamb.

Di Lie chuckled: "Okay, I owe you credit. Next time, I'll give you a leg of lamb... Well, it's a whole roasted lamb."

Aji shook his head: "This is Brother Di's food. Aji just helps to keep it and I don't dare to take credit."

Di Lie had a good impression of this sincere young man. He smiled and stroked his disheveled head: "Then there will also be a storage fee. A roast lamb is the storage fee. That's it. I'll give it to you another day."

Aji nodded happily: "Well, Aji believes that Brother Di can do it."

Unexpectedly, this young man had such confidence in himself. Di Lie felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavier. Food, food! Where to get food for so many people?

At this time, Lu Laoer, who was standing under the rock and regarded himself as a bodyguard, suddenly came to report: "The Yang brothers are back. It seems that there is something to report."

The Yang brothers are Yang Fen and Yang Zhechong. These two brothers were sentry officers of the Western Army. Although they were only low-level officers with the rank of Di Gonglang (the last rank among the fifty-four ranks of the Song Army), they had served in the army for many years.

, has experience fighting against the Xixia Army, the Liao Army and even the Jin Army. Especially his elder brother Yang Fen, who joined the army at the age of fifteen and has been in the army for nearly twenty years, and has been a sentry agent for more than fifteen years. He is really an old spy.

Of course, Di Lie wanted to make full use of his talents, and directly arranged for the two brothers to take several comrades from the Western Army who escaped with them to the vicinity of the Jin Army's camp to monitor the movements of the Jin Army. Now the two brothers hurried back, and again

What will happen?

"The golden dog did not chase him, but instead left the camp. At about noon, the camp was completely empty. There were only less than a hundred horses left, led by two Puchan chiefs (50 people long). One group dispersed.

A large net was used to search for the scattered horses, and a team was stationed in the camp - it seemed that some supplies had not been transported away from the camp. Although there were golden dog sentries patrolling around, we did not dare to get too close, but we were still separated.

You can see a lot of things from afar... maybe there is food!" Yang Zhechong looked excited. The Jin army unexpectedly gave up the pursuit and retreated in a hurry, eliminating the threat of thousands of them fleeing.

The safety is already surprising, but there is also a large amount of looted materials left behind, and there are less than a hundred people to guard them. If it is dark and windy at night, maybe you can catch a handful to temporarily relieve the shortage of food.

Di Lie was also surprised by the good news brought back by the Yang brothers. When did the Jin people become so easy to talk to? They were tortured all night, setting fires and explosions, and even took the opportunity to riot and escape with a lot of people, so forget it.

? There must be some trick, right? But if you think about it carefully, ordinary people like them really don't need to bother so much. As long as the Jin people are willing to send a few teams of troops to guard each mountain pass, it won't take ten days and a half.

Sunquan was captured and brought back. From this point of view, last night's mutiny should have caused considerable damage to this Jin army. There were many casualties among the soldiers, a large number of horses escaped, and the mysterious death of one of the two generals, making this Jin army

They were powerless and had no intention of arresting the fugitives anymore, so they chose to evacuate in a hurry.

The question now is that it is understandable to leave more than a hundred golden soldiers and capture as many horses as possible nearby, but why did they leave behind a large amount of supplies?

Yang Fen, the boss with a simple appearance, unshaven beard and a silent expression, seemed to have noticed Di Lie's doubts and explained in a low voice: "The golden dogs plundered a lot of materials from Bianjing, and they were escorted in several groups. We are here

What was escorted seemed to be some armor ordnance and some grain. Although there were hundreds of carts and more than a thousand mules and horses pulling it, it required a large number of manpower. There was a big chaos last night, and the prisoners were seriously injured, and so many people escaped.

… According to my guess, it’s not that Golden Dog doesn’t want to take away all the supplies, but it really doesn’t have enough manpower…”

Di Lie glanced at Yang Fen appreciatively and smiled: "Your analysis makes sense. Very good, the Jin people don't have enough manpower to transport all the supplies - but we do! We are still happy to help with this.

of."

Yang Zhechong also said excitedly: "Biji, let's grab a few carts of grain before the reinforcements from Golden Dog arrive, and then escape from here."

Yang Fen sighed softly: "I have no objection to grabbing food. After all, if there is no food, those who live thousands of miles away from the two rivers will die even if they escape... Although we have many people, we can only pull hundreds of people out to fight."

Less than one. With dozens of defeated soldiers lacking armor and weapons, how can they get food from under the noses of nearly a hundred golden dogs? What’s more, at least twenty of these nearly a hundred golden dogs are real Jurchen Tatars.

I'm just afraid..."

When it comes to the Jurchen Tatars, even as young and energetic as Yang Zhechong can't help but lower his head and clench his fists, gnashing his teeth in silence, let alone the few ordinary Western soldiers behind them.

It had only been a few days since Di Lie "airborne" to this era. Although he knew that in the early to mid-twelfth century, the Jurchen Jin people were almost invincible, sweeping across the north and south of the river. Later generations also had the reputation of "the Jurchens are invincible if there are not even ten thousand Jurchens".

.But for Di Lie, who comes from modern times, has undergone rigorous training, and has seen the astonishing striking power of countless modern weapons and elite soldiers from all over the world, these legends are too ancient, and they have no psychological or pressure on him. They are completely different from what he just suffered in this era.

The Song people's "fear of gold" sentiment in the pain of national destruction.

So Di Lie simply said: "We don't need so many people, just me and you two brothers are enough."
