It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 190

There are one hundred and eight cities in the thirteen states of the empire, the territory is extremely huge, and the situation is different in each place. Some places are poor, some are rich, some cities are strong and some are dilapidated.

On the other hand, Youzhou is located in the extreme north, and is often harassed by the Rong tribe, so it belongs to... poor and broken.

Youzhou has a total of six cities, namely: Heishi, Laiye, Tiehe, Chisha, Beizhen, and Youzhou City where Yang Longting sits.

After Black Rock City was destroyed, the hearts of all the city lords in Youzhou clenched. In the face of the Rong clan running rampant with iron cavalry, can he defend the city, and will he repeat the fate of Xue Banchuan?

But then came the news that the bandit Cheng Dalei was guarding Qingniu Mountain and fighting against the Rong tribe.

Things became a little unbelievable. The enemy came to invade, the mountains and rivers were broken, the generals of the own empire stood up to defend the family and defend the country, and repelled the enemy. What a blind thief.

Everyone waited for the Rong tribe to break through the Toad Village, cut off Cheng Dalei's head and hang it on the flagpole, hoping that in the next life, this thief would know that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

But what happened next couldn't be said to be unbelievable, it was simply incredible. The Rong clan did not break the fortress for one day, the Rong clan did not break the fortress for the second day, and the Rong clan did not break the fortress for ten days... In the end, the Toad Fortress was defended for more than two months, and the Rong clan did not break the fortress.

This incident shocked everyone, thinking whether the Toad Village was too good, or the Rong tribe was too useless.

Maybe the former, maybe the latter. Maybe the Rong clan is not that strong, maybe the Rong clan now is not the Rong clan of 30 years ago...

In the process of Cheng Dalei's perseverance, everyone's self-confidence came back little by little. The longer Cheng Dalei persevered, the stronger everyone's self-confidence.

Everyone needs a victory too much, and the entire army of the Empire needs a victory too. Use this victory to wash away the shame 30 years ago and tell the world that the Rong family is not invincible.

One after another, something that no one has done in thirty years, maybe a bandit will do it.

Qingzhou, Tianyicheng, there are too many people gathered on the dock, most of them are people who have escaped from Youzhou.

"Quick, quick! Load everything on the boat."

"City Lord Fang, don't you stay longer? To be honest, I haven't talked enough with City Lord Fang."

"Don't stop, don't stop." Fang Boshan grinned, buying in his heart.

Damn it, if you stay here any longer, you won't be able to scavenge that bit of my belongings. Now that Cheng Dalei has defended Qingniu Mountain, he can return to Ye Yecheng. When the time comes, the grain and soldiers will be sent to Qingniu Mountain, and he can rest easy in the rear.

At that time, he will still be the owner of a city, and the lost family business will be able to come back in three or two years.

"Then I will send it to City Lord Fang. Your little nephew also thanked you for the sword. Hehe, he likes it very much. I heard that City Lord Fang also has a sword, which is quite good?"

"Oh, what a coincidence, I lost that knife."

"lost?"

"No, I plan to send it to the house another day, but I can't find it."

"Oh, that's such a pity."

At this moment, Qiao Ye suddenly rushed to Fang Boshan and said in a low voice, "City Lord, something is wrong, I just got the news..."

After hearing this, Fang Boshan's face changed greatly, and he suddenly called out loudly:

"Brother, Xiu go, that knife... found it."

...

Youzhou City.

"The Toad Fortress has indeed been defended for two months. The army of the Rong clan has assembled, and it has not yet broken through. According to the report of the spies, the Rong clan has attacked the city several times and suffered heavy casualties." Li Shanyan said.

"This bandit... I really underestimate him."

"It is said that the grasslands were also hit by drought, and these Rong tribes lacked clothing and food. Perhaps, they were just a group of tired soldiers."

"Well, it makes sense." Yang Long stopped cherishing his words like gold. He was sitting behind the handsome case, and he was the king of Youzhou who was in charge of life and death in the entire Youzhou.

"My lord, this is an opportunity. We take advantage of his weakness to attack in a big way, and there is no chance that we will wipe out the Rong people in one sweep." Li Shanyan.

Yang Longting pondered for a moment, and said, "The Rong family may not be weak now. It's better to wait and see. After all, that is the Rong family. For now, let the bandits in Toad Village consume them more."

"Yes."

"Report..." With a long cry, a spy broke into the hall: "Your Majesty, something is bad."

...

Toad Village, Cheng Dalei was letting his minions try to dig a mountain road, and then he found that... he couldn't do it.

The rock is hard, and even if there is gunpowder that can be used to blast it, it is still not easy to do. If you really want to be at the bottom of the mountain, it is difficult to dig a tunnel to climb to the sky.

Hey, it's easy to think.

Cheng Dalei looked at the mountain wall and looked up. The mountain wall was steep, about two or three hundred meters high. When I chose to build a cottage in the valley, it was because of this.

"Our people, can anyone climb up?" Cheng Dalei asked.

Xu Shenji glanced at it and said, "It's nothing, right? People in the mountains collect herbs, and sometimes it's more dangerous to climb than this?"

The bandits are not of the Rong tribe. They grow up in the mountains. Some of them make a living by collecting herbs. The herbs grow on the cliffs, and they climb up with their feet.

"If that's the case, sending a few good hands up and throwing the rope down doesn't seem to be difficult, right?"

Some things just need to change the angle, and it will be easy to solve.

Cheng Dalei stared at the mountain wall and wondered how to retreat without knowing it, without causing the Rong clan's idea.

At this time, a minion at the head of the city ran over and said, "The big boss, the Rong family seems to have retreated."

"I wipe, I finally retreated." Cheng Dalei breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought they were going to spend a lot of time with me, and the sea was withered."

Cheng Dalei and several leaders came to the head of the city and saw that the Rong tribe was indeed pulling out their camp. Cheng Dalei frowned as he watched.

They don't seem to be withdrawing their troops north, but to... continue south.

"Master, can we withdraw?"

"Withdraw, didn't you see that they still left people outside? This is to block us."

Cheng Dalei said that the Rong tribe did not have any plans to withdraw their troops. Some of them were assigned to guard the Toad Village, and the other part of the troops entered the Youzhou border.

What is the strategic purpose of the Rong tribe, this is a question that many people are thinking about. Whether they want to grab a sum and leave, or do they want to completely occupy Youzhou, and even more territory of the empire.

But no matter what their purpose is, Cheng Dalei has no effect on them, so it is difficult for them to understand Cheng Dalei after spending so long with Cheng Dalei.

Now it seems that they have finally figured it out, and they are going to fight Youzhou first, then turn around and clean up Cheng Dalei.

When they go, Youzhou will surely be wiped out with corpses and corpses.

But he knew that this scene would happen, but Cheng Dalei couldn't do anything, and he wasn't going to do anything.

The Rong clan has the purpose of the Rong clan, and Cheng Dalei has the purpose of Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei's strategic purpose has never been to defend his family and the country, to do justice for the sky or something, he just wants to survive and let his brothers survive more.
