Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 795 Protest is the Moan of the Weak and Incompetent
Chapter 800 Protest is the moan of the weak and incompetent
Compared with Wu Village, the wealth of Yuanyang Village is even more enviable.Liu Meng has already set his mind on Yuanyang Village. Although he has no energy to deal with Yuanyang Village, he instigates some small tribes to trouble Yuanyang Village from time to time.In recent years, there have been more than a dozen battles between Yuanyang Village and the natives. Although Yuanyang Village suffered little loss, it made everyone in Yuanyang Village feel the crisis.

"Uncle Liu, Yihuang City will take at least nine more months to complete. In fact, we don't have 3000 people, only more than 600 people."

Liu Defa said: "The aborigines often oppress us Han people. I am very grateful to you for your righteous deed to save Wu Village. For us Han people who are living in Yizhou, the city guard is our great savior!"

Ran Zhi nodded and said, "We Han people are oppressed by the natives. In fact, it's because we are not united. According to Mr. Wu, there are almost 5 to 3 Han people in Yizhou. Even if there are not [-] to [-], there must be [-]." But it is precisely because we are not united that the aborigines can take advantage of it. Yuanyang Village, join us in recalling Huangcheng. Ziyi took a rough look at the following, and the flat land west of Wuzhi Mountain alone can exploit [-] mu of land, which is enough to feed people. Twenty to thirty thousand people. I, Ran Ziyi, swear to God, as long as Yuanyang Village joins Huangyi City, we will treat everyone equally."

Liu Defa pondered for a while and said: "Master Chengshou, as far as I am old, I am very much in favor of joining the memory of Huangcheng. It's just that there are more than 400 people in Yuanyang Village, and it is difficult to leave our homeland. I have lived by the Qinghe River for more than 100 years, so it is not so easy to say that I will give in. I need to go back and discuss this matter with my fellow villagers.”

It is said to be a negotiation, but this is actually the most common way of refusal in diplomacy.Hearing this, Ran Zhi couldn't help being a little disappointed.Wu Qubing was also a little unhappy.When Wu Village was in trouble, they came to Yuanyang Village for rescue. Yuanyang Village, which was less than a hundred miles away, not only did not extend a helping hand, but instead pulled Lishan Village and Gaojia Village, which are close to Yuanyang Village, to cut off contact with Wu Village.

For this sake, they are still calculating, which makes Wu Qubing very angry.But he also knows that unity means strength, and if there are three villages who join the memory of Huangcheng, the population can exceed [-].With these people, they can not only form more troops, but also resist Liu Meng's attack.

Although dissatisfied with Liu Defa's selfishness, but for the sake of the overall situation.Wu Qubing tried his best to facilitate this merger.Wu Qubing said: "Mr. Liu, don't you think about it? Qubing is young and not good enough to be the leader. If Mr. Liu joins Yihuangcheng, Qubing is willing to let the virtuous."

Liu Defa said: "Although the old man is the head of Yuanyang Village, he still needs to respect the opinions of the villagers."

As a former prince, Ran Zhi, who was familiar with tactics, naturally understood what Liu Defa was worried about.The people of the country have such bad roots, they would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow.Liu Defa was thinking of his own interests, and was unwilling to join Huangcheng. Was it because he was afraid of losing his authority?Ran Zhi sneered.He suddenly thought that he, Ran Min, was also abandoned by a group of selfish people in the name of righteousness.The six prefectures of the Great Wei changed jobs in one day, and more than 30 of the 20 troops of the Great Wei suddenly defected. Ran Min must have felt very uncomfortable at that time, right?

Ran Zhi disagreed with Ran Min one thing, that is, Ran Min was too conniving with such a group of villains.Ran Ming did a good job at this. If you can't be friends, you are enemies. You have to stand in this team if you don't stand.

When Ran Zhi heard this, he said: "Old Liu, the city guard still has some matters to deal with, so Master Wu will accompany you to look around. Make sure you drink well tonight and don't go home without getting drunk!"

For such an elm-headed Ran Zhi lost interest in continuing to win over.Although there are few Han people in Yizhou, the taxes in the Jin state are heavy, and there are many people who cannot survive. As long as they stand firm, they will go to the coast of the Jin state to snatch people.A middle-aged man next to Liu Defa also had a very ugly expression on Ran Zhi's face-off.But seeing that this is Ran Zhi's territory, he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

This middle-aged man actually has a lot of background. This is Gao Chuankui, the head of Gaojia Village.In Gaojia Village, Gao Chuankui is a yellow emperor, and no one has ever dared to shake his face.

Ran Zhi returned to the Chengshou Mansion, now Ran Zhi no longer needs to live in a tent.After more than a month of hard work, the immigrants have built a simple house. This courtyard covering an area of ​​more than ten acres in the city is the city guard's mansion.There is an elegant house in the backyard, which is where Ran Zhi rests every day.

Seeing Ran Zhi come back angrily, Luo Yuhu knew that today's negotiation seemed unsuccessful.

Luo Yuhu pretended to be angry and said: "Master, those guys are too ignorant of flattery!"

Ran Zhi said: "Yuhu don't need to pay attention to them, we are not begging them now, they will recognize the reality soon." Although Ran Zhi wanted the population of more than 2000 in the third village.Without enough population, there is no way to form a sufficient army, and there is no way to survive the siege of the natives.

Now, Ran Zhi is not so eager.This landing spot for them is great.Not only has a natural port, but also a natural barrier.Shiziguan is like a strategic throat. I recall that Huangcheng is surrounded by the sea on three sides and the east and west mountains have no roads. Only the Shizitong in the south can pass. As long as a few people are ambushed on both sides, the indigenous army can be defeated.Now that Shiziguan has been built, under the protection of Guancheng, it is impossible for the natives to attack Yihuangcheng.

Unless the aborigines are willing to fill the ten-mile dangerous valley with their lives, the ten-mile dangerous valley will definitely cause the aborigines to bleed a lot.Not to mention the natives who are not good at long siege, but the elite Han Chinese who are fully armed, if they want to break through the ten-mile narrow valley, don't even think about it without dropping [-] to [-] corpses.

Wu Qubing is also a young man, and being young naturally has the problem of arrogance.Seeing Ran Zhi's displeasure, plus Liu Defa and others, the three villages went forward and retreated together, especially Wu Qubing originally boasted about going to Haikou, but the people from the three villages came, but did not join Remembrance of Huangcheng.This also made Wu Qubing lose face.Wu Qubing didn't bother to make false claims with these old guys, so he directly sent an assistant to take them around the city.

In fact, there is nothing to see in Yihuang at this time, it is just a bigger construction site, full of busy people.As long as you have a little self-esteem, who would put a hot face on someone's cold ass.Seeing Huangcheng's lack of sincerity, Liu Defa said: "I originally wanted to form a good relationship, but it seems that I can't do it."

Gao Chuankui said: "A group of brats who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. They don't even have full hair yet, and they have learned to show off."

Liu Defa sneered again and again.After a night of silence, a group of six people proposed to bid farewell to Ran Zhi.Ran Zhi was overjoyed all of a sudden, and had no patience for being polite, so he asked Wu Qubing to give them some Yicheng, several other canned foods, and a few catties of liquor.

Gao Chuankui almost scolded his mother when he saw the rites Wu Qubing gave them. "This is sending beggars"

The head of Lishan Village smiled and said, "In the eyes of others, aren't we just beggars?"

Liu Defa's prestige was very strong, and he said loudly: "Stop saying those weird words, and know that disaster comes from your mouth!"

Gao Chuankui said: "I see who dares them!"

"This is someone else's territory, why don't they dare?" Liu Defa's eyes were poisonous, he had already discovered the problem from the equipment: "Yi Huangcheng has an extraordinary history, who told him to have a big backer and confidence?"

"What backing?" Gao Chuankui asked puzzled.

Liu Defa said: "Magong crossbow machine, big horizontal knife, fine iron heavy shield, can a small village make these things?"

"Could it be?"

Liu Defa said: "Well, these people were sent by the court of Wei State in the north. They have a lot of plans to occupy Yizhou! As long as they gain a foothold in Yizhou, they can cross the sea and threaten the coastal counties of Dajin. Go down, it's tough enough!"

When crossing the lion's pass, Liu Defa saw the eight-ox crossbow. They Yuanyang Village is a pirate, and they have suffered a lot from this eight-ox crossbow. Liu Defa is simply too familiar with this weapon.Just when Liu Dejia was confirming his guess, there were bursts of strange screams coming from the front.

"Not good!" Liu Defa said: "I can't leave, go back!"

Gao Chuankui's face also changed drastically, and he saw that there were densely packed aborigines in front of him, at least four to five thousand people.

Liu Defa reacted quickly: "Throw down the things and turn around quickly, otherwise we will not be able to live alone if we walk over like this!"

Recalling that Ran Zhi, the city guard of Huangcheng, also received the news of a large-scale attack by the aborigines: "City guard, about seven or eight thousand aborigines are attacking!"

Ran Zhi said: "Someone sounded the alarm, all the old and weak women and children retreated into the city, and all the men gathered. All the three villages left behind in the city are ready to fight and are ready to support Shiziguan at any time!"

Shiziguan is the only passage from Recalling Huangcheng to the south of Yizhou. A natural grand canyon forms a natural barrier for Recalling Huangcheng.Of course, this Lion Pass is far less steep than the world-famous Hangu Pass, but it is also a rare strategic throat.The widest part of this canyon is about twenty or thirty feet, but the narrowest part is four to five feet in four, and the depth of the valley is between thirty and fifty feet.On both sides of the canyon, the cliffs rise steeply, there are many peaks and rocks, the terrain is dangerous, and the landform is dense.

When the native striker entered the canyon, Yang Yun had already sent two teams of more than a hundred people to ambush in two sides of the canyon.It was at the beginning that he discovered the steepness of this canyon, so Ran Zhi had already ordered Yang Yun to build fortifications on the two sides of the canyon. Countless giant trees or stones were placed on the two mountain walls. With the center of gravity outside, as long as the ropes used to bind the giant trees are cut off, these giant trees and stones will rush down the mountain wall in an instant. According to calculations, the giant trees and stones placed on both sides are enough to fill this canyon.

In addition to these giant trees and stones, more than [-] newly built iron blocks were placed in the nearly ten-mile-long Grand Canyon.According to legend, the so-called iron block was invented by Han Xin, the god of war, who trapped the King of Chu with the iron block.The working principle of this kind of iron block is to use the potential energy of the car to push the iron block down from the top of the mountain. When the mountain drop is large, the iron block will quickly rush towards the enemy, thus crushing the enemy.The shape of the iron block is in the shape of a two-wheeled trolley, and the body is similar to a water tank car. Of course, due to the lack of iron in Ran Zhi's department, this iron block is not wrapped with iron at all, and the so-called iron spikes are naturally gone. A wooden thorn, a vehicle weighing a thousand catties, rushing down the mountain is definitely not something that manpower can resist.

"Dub, the natives are here!" A scout reported.

This uncle is Zhang Zhiqiang, Wu Qubing’s brother-in-law. Zhang’s village has long since been wiped out by the indigenous people. In a village of 700 people, less than [-] survived.For Zhang Zhiqiang, revenge is the only meaning of life.Zhang Zhiqiang said: "Notify me, no one will act rashly without the order of my uncle Ben Dubo!"

Dubo is also the head of the village, organized according to the number of troops, which is equivalent to the company-level scale of later generations.And recalling all the troops in Huangcheng, there are currently only five villages, which are only a reinforced battalion.Looking at the densely swarming natives.Zhang Zhiqiang was very excited in his heart: "Father, mother, the child will avenge you soon. This time, I will make this damn beast pay a heavy price!"

Not long after, those natives with messy paint on their faces flocked directly to the Lion Gate.The crowd was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the side.There is a saying that thousands of people fill the city and ten thousand people fill the fields. As long as there are tens of thousands of people, there is no limit.In fact, these natives were not all members of Arika's department. After Liu Meng saw the great power of Yang Yun's crossbow, he felt fear.In order to reduce casualties in his own tribe, Liu Meng called on other tribes to besiege Wu Village together.Among them, more than a dozen tribes such as the Caoya tribe (the ancestor of the later Tsou tribe), the Balika tribe, the Amish tribe, and the Waro tribe participated in this battle.

"God, why are there so many natives?" A new soldier showed deep fear on his face: "Can we beat them?"

There are tens of thousands of aborigines, which basically gather most of the young and strong of most tribes in the north-central area of ​​Yizhou. The roar of these aborigines is like howling ghosts and wolves, which makes people feel even more frightened from the bottom of their hearts.

Not to mention the newly compiled soldiers, even Yang Yun's old trilogy, the Zigu warriors who have gone through bloody battles with Zhuhu also showed timidity. Don't be afraid of these natives.However, the number of natives far exceeded their expectations. This was not three to five times, but a huge advantage of more than twenty times.

Zhang Zhiqiang was also in a cold sweat, and he shouted forcefully: "Why panic, we will definitely defeat the natives!"

After saying this, even Zhang Zhiqiang himself felt hot on his face.

Liu Defa stood on the simple pass of Shiziguan and saw the natives and exclaimed: "Recalling Huangcheng must be over!"

After saying this, he was so frightened that he quickly shut up, because he found that the soldiers around him had already shown cannibalistic expressions towards him.

Gao Chuankui was also in a state of disarray, stammering, "If I had known this before, I shouldn't have come here at all!"

Liu Defa said: "It's too late to say anything now. I hope the people who remember Huangcheng can stop them, otherwise we will all hang up today!"

Gao Chuankui said: "Uncle Liu, we, let's run away! Yihuang City will definitely be massacred by the natives, we don't want to be buried with them."

Liu Defa said: "Not yet, let's see Yihuangcheng's real strength!"

Liu Defa was an old man, and he found that the surrounding Yihuangcheng soldiers had calmed down after a short period of confusion.There was no look of despair on their faces.Liu Defa guessed that this group of people from Wei Guo should have a backup.Gao Chuankui saw that Liu Defa was unwilling to leave, and the three villages had always followed the example of Yuanyang Village, so naturally they had to bite the bullet and stay.

Soon, the indigenous forwards crowded in front of the Lion Pass.Zhang Zhiqiang said: "Have you seen it clearly? How many people have passed by the indigenous people?"

"I can't count them all, there are too many people. Anyway, there should be at least 5000 people!"

Zhang Zhiqiang said: "Five thousand is enough. We are going to put giant logs and iron pulleys. We must let the natives see how powerful we are!"

However, at this moment, a soldier came running quickly: "There is an order from the city guard, the ambush plan is temporarily cancelled, and you are waiting for orders."

"why is that?"

The messenger said: "How dare you disobey orders!"

"Disobedience?" Hearing this word, Zhang Zhiqiang's face turned pale with fright.The first lesson these new soldiers learn is to obey orders. Zhang Zhiqiang violated military discipline for the first time and was beaten ten sticks. The second time he squatted in a small dark room for three days.Zhang Zhiqiang was already scared, he would rather die than squat in that small dark room, it is definitely not a place for people to stay.

How Ran Zhi wanted to cancel the ambush on the cliff, to put it bluntly, Ran Zhi had a big plan.Ran Zhi saw the densely packed natives with no formation at all, especially when he found that the forwards of the natives were crowded in front of the ditch of Shiziguan City.Originally, Ran Zhi wanted to dig a moat in front of the Lion Pass, but after the construction started, Ran Zhi was dumbfounded.The bottom of this grand canyon is not sand, but rocks. Except for the sand and rocks about three feet thick on the surface, the bottom is solid rock.It's not that rocks can't be dug out, it's just that it's too wasteful.Ancient Chinese craftsmen were also very smart. They usually burned the rocks with fire first, and then watered them with cold water. Under the principle of sudden heat and sudden cold expansion and contraction, the rocks will crack.

It's not that Ran Zhi didn't want to repair it, but he only dug a trench about three feet deep. The key point is not the trench, but the natives standing on the edge of the trench.Don't those natives know that both the trench and the moat are under the cover of bows and arrows on the city wall, and they are standing there deliberately as targets.Without even the basic common sense of marching, Ran Zhi had already equated those natives with dead people.

Ran Zhi's plan is to use the Guancheng of Shiziguan first to consume the vigor of the natives.When these aborigines lost their morale and decided to retreat, they ordered Zhang Zhiqiang's troops to seal off the canyon.In this way, the natives can be forced to surrender.Now Ran Zhi is too short of manpower. It takes manpower to quarry mountains and build a city, and a lot of manpower to open up wasteland and cultivate fields. Especially in Yihuang City, there are no livestock at all, and there are only a dozen or so horses.

In Ran Zhi's eyes, these natives are the best free labor.With these natives, you can quickly build Yihuang City and Yihuang Port.At the same time, you can also order the aborigines to build houses for the people who remember Huangcheng.

Just when Ran Zhi was about to wipe out the invading aboriginals, Liu Meng also came to the Lion Pass. There was a strong man beside Liu Meng, who was the leader of the Arika tribe, Baliena.The Balika tribe is actually the largest tribe in the northern part of Yizhou. In the entire northern region, the Balika tribe has tens of thousands of tribes, and three or four thousand men can be drawn from the tribe.This time Baliena was bewitched by Liu Meng, and Baliena led more than [-] people to join the attack on Lion Pass.

"Patriarch Pali, the front is the territory of the Han people. See if they have the strength to build this big city (actually it's just a small pass), and their wealth can be imagined!" Liu Meng said: "This move, Arika Most of the ministries are only for revenge, not for robbery. The leaders can rely on the strength of their own tribes to rob property. Arika does not take this part of the text, but the Arika Ministry wants to get the woman of Wu Village, or the one who killed our Ali the heads of the warriors of Kagai."

Baliena said brazenly: "Don't worry, the warriors of our Bali tribe are the bravest. With our Bali tribe alone, those Han people are no match at all!"

Liu Meng flattered and flattered for a while, and Baliena didn't know who he was at all.

Seeing that the wooden ladder was almost ready, Baliena didn't straighten up the formation, and stood directly in front of the crowd, shouting loudly, and then more than [-] Bali warriors launched an attack in a mess!Not to be outdone, other tribal leaders cheered up their morale in front of the battle: "Warriors! Attack! Kill those Han people, rob their wealth and women! Victory belongs to us!"

The attack began in such chaos.If Ran Zhi is just the original Ran Zhi, who has not been trained in the army, especially killing people personally and experiencing bloody battles, then Ran Zhi will definitely be afraid of such a scene.But now Ran Zhi is much more courageous.He brought a hundred personal guards and two hundred reinforcements to Lion Pass.

Seeing Ran Zhi coming, Yang Yun said: "My lord, swords and guns have no eyes, please stay away for now!"

Ran Zhi laughed and said: "The mere natives are like chickens and dogs, even if there are millions of them, what's the point!"

"But, my lord, there are tens of thousands of natives here!" Yang Yun persuaded.

Ran Zhi said: "There are only tens of thousands of people. I think they are too few. If we want to develop in Huangcheng, we need people everywhere. We have too few people, so we can only use these natives. It's a pity that there are only ten thousand people. In the end, it would be nice to only get a few thousand slaves in the end!"

Ran Zhicai didn't want Yang Yun to control the military power, he needed to share the credit of Yang Yun.That's why Ran Zhi was not afraid of danger and came to the city of Shiziguan.Ran Zhi said: "General Yang, don't worry, just direct the battle. The city guard has a hundred personal guards. Whenever there is danger, the city guard will take them there!"

Seeing that Ran Zhi was so determined, Yang Yun had no choice.He had no choice but to turn around and walk to his commanding position.

The distance from the ditch to the wall was only fifty paces, and they were completely under the blow of the crossbow bolts.But neither Ran Zhi nor Yang Yun gave the order to attack, instead there was an eerie silence in Guancheng.
