He Yong watched Wen Yi disappear into the jungle with the dead deer, and turned to look at the tall ugly man, "Brother Qiang, it seems that this matter is not a good thing for us?"

The person who was called Qiang Ge narrowed his eyes, "You said it right. If the Qin people really did this, our military source would probably be a problem. More importantly, if the news came, those who had already joined the gang would be shaken. Don't make any noise in this matter first. Let's go back and talk to the boss first and see what he said."

"Brother Qiang is right!" He Yong nodded.

The riots initiated by the He Liang family last year ended in a crushing defeat, and all the innocent women, children and children who affected the He Liang family were killed. This also led to an indelible blood feud between the He Liang family and the government. After the remnants fled to the Cang'er Mountain, they joined forces with the remaining soldiers of the riots and uprising in other neighboring counties to fight against the imperial army.

Originally, several groups of people had their own leaders and were not convinced by each other, but since the other group of people came up the mountain last year, they have become the leaders of several peasant uprising troops and integrated these people together.

The leader of the Cang'er Mountain Rebel Army is Niu Teng. The man who is called Qiang Ge by He Yong is one of the dozens of people who followed He Teng up the mountain. His surname is Wang Qiang. He is tall and strong, and has amazing combat power. He is now the deputy of the Third Team of the Cang'er Mountain Rebel Army, responsible for the training and combat tasks of the entire third team. As the captain, He Yong is more of a nominal leader.

Although He Yong was underestimated, he had to repay Wang Qiang. The faint murderous aura on the body of this reckless man always made He Yong tremble. What's even more rare is that he actually knew how to read. You know, in Shu County, the ones who knew how to read were really rare objects.

Shortly after the team led by He Teng controlled Cang'er Mountain, the entire rebel army underwent a fundamental change. In He Yong's view, they are now more like an army than the chaotic team that used to be.

In the past two years, riots in Shu County have occurred from time to time. He Yong personally participated in the riots in Ziyang County. At that time, it seemed that the momentum was huge, but these teams organized by farmers who could not survive had one of the biggest problems. It was okay to fight a smooth battle. Everyone rushed forward and was aggressive. When the government was not prepared at that time, it was really out of control. But later the government reacted, and the county soldiers and the township soldiers organized by the landlords and gentry, Zhuang Ding's resistance was strong.

The rebel army was in a deadlock. Although they were not defeated due to the large number of people, they were already weak, let alone the county town. Even the villages of several great gentry and landlords did not catch them. With the arrival of the regular army of the imperial court, the rebel army was defeated as if they were destroyed. Except for the deadly and hard-working elements like He Yong, who rushed into Cang'eryi with a group of confidants, the others abandoned their weapons and fled back home. The once massive uprising disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Walking deep along the rugged path in the mountains, the two of them were originally ordered to see if they had the opportunity to dive down the mountain to find out the situation outside the mountain. They unexpectedly met Wen Yi here and asked about a lot of situations, but there was no need to risk going out of the mountain. However, some of the things Wen Yi said made He Yong feel a little heavy.

If the government really distributes land to the people, as a former farmer, He Yong knew how strong a piece of land is to the people. With his own land, at least it will not starve to death. Everyone will go to farm honestly. Where can the teams he is in recruiting troops to enrich their strength? If the power does not grow, one will rise and the other will grow and fall, one day it will be wiped out by the officers and soldiers. Although Cang'er Mountain is big, it is not as solid as a god.

The two of them walked through the mountains for more than a day, and after crossing the Heixiong Valley, they suddenly became clear. Looking into the distance, East and West Gucheng Mountain was like two huge cylinders rising from the ground from the blue waves. The mountain was steep, but the top of the mountain was generally flat. On it was the base camp of the Cang'er Mountain Rebel Army.

The reason why Cang'er Mountain is difficult to attack is not only because of its dangerous terrain, high mountains and dense forests, but more importantly, caves are everywhere here, with caves connected in the caves. Last year, the official army had already fought here because of these special terrain. Although they had superior troops, they were defeated by the integrated rebels' elusive guerrilla warfare and were in a mess. After losing thousands of people, they had to withdraw from Cang'er Mountain and make an attack into a siege. They wanted to trap this fierce rebel to death.

But even the chief general of the Qin army would not believe this possibility. Cang'er Mountain is too big and the mountains are rich in resources. It is unlikely to starve them to death. However, it is feasible not to allow other materials to enter the mountain. Materials such as salt, iron, and cloth are extremely restricted. This trick has indeed made the lives of the rebels in Cang'er Mountain sadder day by day.

The east-west Gucheng Mountains are about one thousand meters apart. A large area of ​​forest land between the two mountains has been opened up to plant crops and some crops that He Yong had never seen before. This is a tuber plant obtained by the leader Niuteng from somewhere. I heard that he does not pick the fields and the demand for fertilizer is not high. Basically, it is something that is waiting for a good harvest after planting them. However, He Yong, who has been planting the fields for half his life, did not believe it. Seeing the leader Niuteng and his people split the tubers into small pieces and buried them in the field, He Yong did not have much hope. He was in the Cang'er Mountain, and he would not starve to death. If the leader had to struggle, he would let him go. Anyway, no matter how bad the situation was, it would be nowhere short.

The worst thing in Cang'er Mountain is salt. If you don't eat salt for a long time, the soldiers will become soft and powerless. Not to mention fighting, they will have to struggle even if they walk.

The new leader did have a solution, but the amount of salt he got from his channels could not meet the needs of the entire team. The officers and soldiers outside the mountain were stuck too hard, so they had to find another way.

At the foot of Gucheng Mountain, wooden houses were built, and on the mountain was the base of the rebel army. The two of them passed through the crops that were growing well and climbed up the rugged mountain path.

Niu Teng, a lieutenant general from the National Security Bureau of the Kingdom of Han, has been in Shu County for more than a year. He has personally planned several peasant riots in Shu County, but without exception, they all ended in failure. The National Security Bureau operation team members who followed him were also half lost in repeated riots. Now he has only more than fifty people, but he finally found a place to settle down, that is Cang'er Mountain. Last year, he entered Cang'er Mountain, and relied on the small fame accumulated in the Shu County uprising army over the past year, and more than fifty well-equipped team members under him successfully took office and successfully integrated several rebel troops fleeing into Cang'er Mountain. After the invading army that was defeated and fled last year, he established absolute prestige in the team.

The prestige was established. The team was cohesive because of the big victory last year, but the pressure on Niu Teng was even greater. These teams were put together, and more than a thousand people were all pressing on him. Fortunately, the Cang'er Mountain was big enough that it would be impossible to starve to death, but things like salt were troublesome. Through spy provos outside the mountain, they could barely send a little in. However, as the officers and soldiers outside the mountain checked more and more severely, the difficulty of sending them in became greater and greater.

Being trapped in the mountains is definitely not a solution. At least you have to find the right time to attack once and grab enough of these supplies to make the team survive.

He divided the team of more than 1,000 people into two parts, one of which was a warrior. Niu Teng selected more than half of the people from the Han army, and about seven hundred people formed his combat troops. After the failure of the uprising, most of the people who could escape into the mountains were strong men, but over the past year, many of them were damaged due to injuries, illness, etc., and Niu Teng arranged them to be in line for logistics, farming, collecting, and hunting, mainly to raise enough food for the combat troops. Niu Teng began to strengthen training for them for the remaining 700 people.

If you want to go out and grab another fight, you will not face the previous village soldiers and Zhuang Ding, but the regular army of Qin. Without sufficient guaranteed combat effectiveness and combat skills, you will be seeking death when you go out.

These people have many fighting will and have had experience in killing people, but they still lack combat skills and experience. Speaking of roots, more than a year ago, they were still some farmers carrying hoes.

Niu Teng divided the 700 people into four teams, each with one hundred and fifty people, and the original leader was the captain, while the team deputy who really controlled the power was divided from the people he brought, and these team deputy were responsible for the daily training of the entire team. The operational team members who followed him to Shu County were basically veterans selected from the field troops and were familiar with the daily training mode of the Han army. Under their leadership, these former farmers had already become elite soldiers in the past for more than half a year.

Not to mention the great victory last year, Niu Teng collected enough weapons and armor, and even those damaged ones were collected. There was no shortage of blacksmiths among these people. On Pengcheng Mountain, they set up furnaces and re-smelted the damaged weapons and armor to re-smelter them, and they were new knives and new guns.

Weapons are not short of, but crossbows are extremely short of them. The bows and arrows made from local materials are incredibly weak, both in terms of strength and accuracy, and are better than nothing.

Niu Teng stood on a huge rock and looked at the top of the peak. Several teams were practicing the offense and defense of the three-person team under the leadership of the chief and deputy captain. Looking at the decent attack, a satisfied smile appeared on Niu Teng's face. They were like nails, stabbing the enemy's heart. As long as the time was right, they could play a role in causing the enemy's pain.
