Is this a godsend?

"Ten out of ten personal guards, how about the former army?" Huang Feihu threw the blood-stained linen strips into the basin, and replaced them with new wrappings and blended herbs.

"That's right." Fei Lian also seemed to have minor wounds all over his body. The heavy rain caused many non-combat casualties to the merchant army, and the previously filled road was also washed away, and the road needs to be refilled. Fortunately, depending on the weather, the short There shouldn't be another rainstorm in time.

Although there is a magic weapon, after today's fierce battle, Huang Feihu has to admit that even if there is a preset magic circle, the outcome of the war still depends on the strength of the mortal army, and the magic circle and magic weapon can only make up for some Insufficient and play a tactical role.

"Thousands of people have been lost, and morale is low now. I'm afraid we won't be able to attack again tomorrow." Ji Kao looked outside the tent. The wizard was babbling and chanting spells, and the corpses of the noble warriors he snatched back were placed on the wood pile. A ceremony was held to appease the soul, and then set on fire and burned. The ashes were wrapped in the skin of the dead horse, together with his armor and weapons, and sent back to Modu by the logistics force to his family.

For these soldiers, the armor is a family heirloom, and other nobles dare not take it by force. After all, anyone can return the shroud of horse leather for a day, but only his armor, weapons and the hide of the horse are returned. If the horse is not dead, it is Wrap it in a cloth bag or something else and take it home.

Loot, slaves, belongings, etc. will be divided up by colleagues, and after sending them back, family members need to thank them for an extra piece of property, and because of this property, colleagues will help collect the corpses instead of stripping them and throwing them outside to rot .

For the family members of the war dead, this loss is not insignificant. Although the armor and weapons have been returned, all the spoils are gone. The meals he ate and the slaves he brought are all gone, and a sum of money needs to be raised Come out to build a mausoleum for burial and thank colleagues who sent back the corpse.

Fortunately, chariots and horses will not be swallowed if there is no loss. After all, not everyone can own chariots and horses, especially leather chariots. I have to spit it out when I go back.

The final outcome of these war horses and chariots is not to be used by the next heir, unless the family is too poor to open the pot. Under normal circumstances, they are buried with the male master as funeral objects.

"General, the Zhou army has retreated!" The scout wiped the cold rain from his face and rushed in. Ji Kao was stunned for a moment and then was overjoyed, "My brother is short of troops, and the parents didn't give him additional troops!" Zhou Jun was shocked by the ground After killing for a while, the loss was not small, not to mention that Zhao Jun tried his best not to want it, and set fire inside with red flags, burning a lot of luggage, and Zhou Jun had no choice but to retreat.

Because as Ji Kao said, Ji Chang didn't give him additional troops. Although the soldiers can take advantage of the geographical advantage, they are relatively low-lying camps, and the merchant army is really desperate to attack them.

On the contrary, Tongguan is different. It is on the hillside, and the merchant army has to bow its head. Moreover, Tongguan is much stronger than this temporary camp, and there are reserve troops and more supplies, which can completely consume the merchant army to retreat.

"Where is Zhou's army retreating?" "Xipo" Xipo refers to the gentle slope where Tongguan is located. In this era, many place names do not exist. The name Tongguan is only mentioned in a few official documents, and most of the scouts and ordinary local guides gave it. The name is the name they usually call—for example, Mao Maotou Mountain, X Family Collection and so on.

In order to fill the Fantian seal, Guang Chengzi ordered the capture of many wild men around him to sacrifice. Although the merchant army is not a good thing, the leader is Bo Yi Kao, who has a reputation for benevolence, after all, some local wild men and farmers So he ran to show Shang the way.

After several days of effort, the Shang army squeezed through the Hangu Road little by little. At this time, the reinforcements formed by Chongbo and the princes of Jin who supported Ji Kao also came late and joined the Shang army. Although it was light and simple, and did not bring many supplies, it also greatly boosted the morale of the merchant army.

Ji Kao was in the camp abandoned by Cheng Zhou, casting a platform and forming an alliance with the princes. During the ceremony, he burst into tears, saying that Ji Fa was immoral, Ji Chang was confused, and that he was blocked by his younger brother when he borrowed troops to return home. Bitter and last resort.

Suddenly there was an uplifting song, vowing to destroy this beast and kill the villain. On the side of the Qing emperor, he made a wish to the princes, and thanked the princes of all countries for their help with the land east of Tongguan and Hanzhong in Chengzhou.

Originally, these princes were either supporters and in-laws of Bo Yikao, or they simply did not want Cheng Zhou to be too powerful, which made it difficult for them to be caught in the middle of Shang and Zhou, or they were just ready to take a share of the pie when they saw the Shang army.

Tongguan, "Master Guangcheng, can the magic weapon rain again?" In the terrain of Tongguan, if it rains heavily, the merchant army will rush into the Yellow River without fighting. Just kidding, there is a high slope of loess on one side, and the Yellow River on the other. what scene?You ask Zhou Jun from Tongguan?We are at the top of the slope, what does the mudslide have to do with me?

"Impossible" Guang Chengzi is also very helpless. Is Fantianyin an artifact? Yes, but this artifact is "magnifying the sky" instead of "controlling the sky". Do you understand the difference?It's not that if you want rain, you will have rain, and if you want wind, you will have wind, but if there is rain in the sky, you can accelerate it to rain.

And the intensity is still very difficult to control. The spring rain you want to irrigate will end up with floods and floods in the end. You want severe drought and rain, but the probability of sunny days is higher. As a result, Fan Tianyin will directly wipe out all the cloudy clouds that are still a little Scattered, cloudless skies—it would be nice not to be beaten to death by the locals.

Therefore, to use Fantianyin, you must master a very subtle weather and astronomical level, and predict which astronomical phenomenon has a higher probability before you can use it. However, according to Guangchengzi's judgment, the next few days will be sunny, and the sacrifice of Fantianyin is for you. Adding to your own troubles, it was raining, the road was difficult, and the merchant army moved slowly, but this time the Heavenly Seal will be reappeared, even if it is not directly exposed to the sun.

In addition to the sacrifice time of the magic weapon, you have to predict the weather 3 to 7 days in advance. This probability is actually very low. Guang Chengzi was only [-] to [-]% sure before—otherwise, why do you think he is here? Can't get along in the Kunlun Western Region?

Didn't they just make an agreement with the barbarians in Loulan that it would rain, but it turned out that it was okay if it rained in the middle of the sacrifice, and they could still use the excuse of God's mercy, and it rained ahead of time, so they called it a day and left.

But it happened that after 7 days, a gust of cold air came from the north, and then the scene became horrifying. After being enlarged by Fan Tianyin, it directly turned into a super cold front, and the rain fell, but it was a pity that it was under the desert in the distance It's raining.

The desert flood broke out, and the local people couldn't see it. Then, the places that needed rain were covered by cold and high pressure. First, there was no dripping, and then the temperature plummeted. Then there were colds, sneezes, and plagues. Almost directly carried away by the locals.

Therefore, after making such a big oolong, Guang Chengzi couldn't get along, so he could only run to the east - if Fan Tianyin could control the weather, he would have already become the holy king of the Western Regions and unified the countries of Central Asia .

Of course, Guang Chengzi did not dare to say the true function of Fan Tianyin and the fact that he could only rely on half-guessing, so he could only find a way to confuse Ji Fa. The soldiers and strangers loyal to Jifa also arrived at Tongguan, and now Guangchengzi was much more relaxed.

"Guangchengzi, I will do what I say. I will laugh at you as soon as I say, and I will laugh at you as soon as I say!" It was a bald guy with two protruding bony joints on the top of his head, like dragon horns, but this guy It has nothing to do with dragons, just a simple... old pervert.

"Huanglong..." Guang Chengzi rubbed his head. This guy is the weakest among them, but he is also the strongest in a sense. Weakness means that he has no magic weapon, and he doesn't have any powerful followers or subordinates.

To say strong means that this guy has a very strong capital, and he can find mountain spirits and wild monsters who have an affair with this guy everywhere-this guy may not have met the King of Madness, so they can worship together on the spot, and then write a book of "Alien" The strange stuff of "Comprehensive Review of Racial Mothers", thus leaving a name in history.

Seemingly aware of Guang Chengzi's thoughts, Huang Long said, "I'm going to write a book to record the tastes of all kinds of aliens. I'm actually not here to help you this time. I heard that there are many beautiful aliens in Shang. Is it a girl?"

"Do you mean eating by taste?" Guang Chengzi squinted his eyes, Huang Long smiled and said nothing, "It means the taste of eating, right?" Huang Long continued to laugh without saying a word, Guang Chengzi gasped and retreated step.

"Why don't you go with the Epilepsy King?"

"Hehe~" Huang Long revealed a look of disdain, "Although the Epilepsy King is insane, it's a pity that his field of vision is too narrow, so I don't disdain it!"

"..." The Epilepsy King's surname is already a bit amazing, but I didn't expect that there is a more powerful one here--thinking about it, it seems that someone who can be named Huanglong doesn't seem like a serious person?

Anyway, it can't be a serious thing like Zhongtian Huanglong. If it means that, he is also worthy?That must be other meanings, but none of the other meanings is serious.

[PS]

Blast Magic History:

"Book of Strange News", this is the earliest reliable collection of tribal myths in history. It is said that it was compiled in the Xia Dynasty. In fact, it was compiled in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties according to the unearthed wooden bamboo slips, recording various myths and stories of the tribal era. The image of gods and beasts.

It is a pity that most of the records are lost. From the chapters such as "Teng Snake", "Hua Jiao" and "Yerman", we can see the rich imagination of the ancients.Interestingly, similar to Shan Hai Jing, most of them have the sayings of "how to ride" and "how to eat". However, compared with Shan Hai Jing, it is more simple and primitive. Inspired by this.

There are many contradictions in the records, and it is believed that it may be a collection of legends and anecdotes from various countries at that time.

——Huang Long: Isn't this the record of me going from west to east, from north to south, to support those young ladies and sisters in ragged clothes of all ethnic groups who are ambitious?

——Zi Shou: Isn't this a great work that I remind you every day and rely on it as a guide to life?

——Ying Zheng: Isn't this a book of guides for seeking immortality?Where is there a fairy treasure that can prolong life after eating it?

——Liu Ji: Look at it secretly at night~ Don't let Mrs. Lu find out~

Chapter 71 Add Money Layman

Before arriving at Tongguan, the coalition formed by the merchant army and Ji Kao's troops gradually gathered was also the second half of the Yaohan Ancient Road. They established a camp on the gentle slope platform near the river, and more logistical supplies and personnel came one after another. Sent across Hangu Road.

Every military camp needs to be close to the water source, but not close to the river, so as to prevent the damage caused by the interception and discharge of the upstream, and also avoid the damage caused by the rising of the river due to the heavy rain. It is ideal to keep a distance of about 200 to 300 steps from the river.

The groom led the poor horses to the river to drink water. If the horses that ate too much hay did not drink a lot of water, the grass blades would soon become knotted in their intestines and die. You need to dry the sweat on your body with a dry linen cloth, otherwise you will have diarrhea and die.

Animals such as horses are far more difficult to serve than imagined. Compared with those steers that have the function of ruminating, they seem to be a little leisurely, chewing grass, and making a muddy "moo" sound from time to time. Eat better than these grooms and herders.

Roasted soybeans (soybeans) are crushed and mixed with the green material, scraped off the salt bricks with a small bone knife and sprinkled in the feed, after mixing and stirring, they are sent to these large manure machines to make up for the waste. Their physical fitness, to avoid fat loss.

The fletcher used a knife to sharpen the shaft of the arrow. These emergency arrow shafts can only be used once, and the accuracy is not guaranteed, but for the coverage of cluster shooting, there is no problem. Unqualified arrows are a kind of The last resort of the times.

In the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains people had no major problems with arrows. The reason is that in the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were already very primitive water-driven wood machine tools to process arrow shafts and arrows in batches on the assembly line.

This has led to the fact that the daily battles of the Han Dynasty are "shooting for Lao Tzu". In a slightly larger battle, you can easily shoot [-] arrows for you. In the eyes of Europe, it is simply a simple book. Hurt people, in the broken game of war, there is no more bald way to play than to hurt people with money.

It is a pity that in the present Shang Dynasty, there is no planer. The only way to make arrows is to slowly cut them with bronze or even stone knives. inside the quiver.

It is only used to kill high-value targets, and the arrows that are thrown every day are this kind of crude wooden arrows. Some of them don't even have arrowheads, but the sharpened wood is roasted on the fire to carbonize the surface.

There are all kinds of arrow feathers, but the common thing is that there are no arrow feathers at all, or that sentence, those exquisite arrows are all staying in the quiver of small nobles and rich warriors. Some small stories recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period have already explained Qualified arrows were still valuable assets in the Spring and Autumn Period, not much different from Europe.

Leather masters and armor masters are sewing small pieces of leather to repair holes in the armor, or reinforcing key positions with leather-wrapped wood or even copper. These craftsmen are also part of the auxiliary force, and they are responsible for providing repairs and Equipment maintenance.

Coppersmiths heat the crucible, pour the hot copper juice into the mold, make thick copper plates, and then strike and stretch the hot copper plates into copper sheets, which are used to repair copper and bronze objects. Weapons, as well as enhanced armor for protection.

However, for general-level senior officers like Huang Feihu, they don't need the services of coppersmiths, and they can't provide services. The craftsmen who can maintain their armor and weapons are still in Modu, and they haven't formed a scale. , and have not mastered many skills.

The reason is that before they set off, they were all rewarded with steel weapons and simple protective gear by the King of Shang. Even the fine steel forged by the King of Shang himself, it is difficult to avoid any damage between metal collisions.

Huang Feihu looked at the steel sword covered with small gaps in his hand with a sad face. To be honest, compared with those bronze war swords that were broken by his sword, this damage is already very small, but even if it is a modern top alloy Kitchen knives made of steel also need to be blunt and chipped when used to chop large bones, so they need to be sharpened diligently.

As for how many big bones he chopped on the battlefield before, this question is worth considering. The bronze sword is mostly used to stab rather than chop, because if you chop, there is a high probability that it will be stuck by the bone, and it will roll if you chop it twice. The blade is scrapped and has to be returned to the furnace, but the steel sword in his hand is different. It can be used for chopping, but it will still cause serious damage.

When metallurgical technology is not enough to forge fine steel weapons, iron swords and bronze swords cannot be chopped, because the blades are curled and bent, and even need to be straightened before they can be used again. When using weapons, you can't chop and slash, because the enemy's armor technology has also developed.

The lethality of a steel sword is not as good as that of a hammer. However, in the age of bronzes, the steel sword that appeared is different. It can chop as much as you like, and the enemy does not have steel armor, so you don't have to worry about breaking and bending. .

However, the necessary gaps and chipping are still unavoidable, which makes Huang Feihu, who has no idea how to repair this thing, sigh. sharpen up.

The siege weapons of the Shang Dynasty had all the siege weapons that should be available, such as the scooters covered with leather and fur, and the ladder with claws. Except for the catapults, there were others, and there were even some that were replaced by catapults in later generations. A large slingshot that fires stone projectiles.

"Wow~" The copper-clad skirt armor made a rustling sound, and Fei Lian walked into the tent with the spear and sword made by the king of Shang, put the weapon back on the shelf, and then grabbed the water bottle and drank it down. The Po level is almost impossible to beat, if that Ji Kao doesn't want to do something."

Tongguan is very difficult to fight without internal and external flanking or luring the enemy to attack. It can even be said that it is more difficult to fight than Hangu Pass. Hangu can still go around and climb from Chousangyuan. Halfway up the mountain, backed by the ridge, facing the Yellow River.

"The plan will be safe?" There is no way to siege the city. The opponent's back is on the Guanzhong Plain, and there is no need to worry about supplies. As long as the food roads are continuous, it is almost impossible to siege the city to break Tongguan.

"I have to set up an array to guard it, so that Young Master Kao can contact the Dukes of Jin..." Fei Lian hesitated for a moment, and revealed the whole plan of King Shang, "Stand on your own!"

Of course, Zishou knew that Tongguan was not easy to fight, and he had already made a plan that he couldn't win at all, but why did he go to fight if he couldn't win?The Shang army simply ignored Tongguan, and directly ordered Ji to take the exam in Jin, and contact the public clan to stand on their own.

As the saying goes, there are no two suns, if there are two orthodox Uncles of Zhou, you will have to split when you become Zhou, and if Ji Kao really stands on his own in Jin, then Ji Fa will be in a very dangerous situation.

Of course, Ji Kao's situation is also very dangerous, because if he chooses this path, if Ji Chang is not dead, he is no different from rebellion. If he succeeds, Ji Kao will be Jin Wengong, and Ji Fa will be Shen Sheng, but what if he fails? ?That is beyond redemption.

Because this means blatantly splitting Xiqi and establishing himself as king, even if the king of Shang endorsed it, it would be a betrayal of his father. Once Ji Fa failed, he would never have more chances.

Of course, he failed, and the King of Shang still controls the land of Jin, and he can even take advantage of the situation and let his own people become the Marquis of Jin. No matter what, Cheng Zhoudong's entrance is sealed, and if he succeeds, it will be easier, If Ji Kao didn't want to die, he could only cling to King Shang.

The current state of Jin can't support him and Chengzhou Guanzhong Plain for a long time, not to mention that he has to make a lot of vows to the nobles who support him to stand on his own feet, and sell the benefits. The resources and chips in his hands will shrink unprecedentedly. The only way is to hug Shang Wang's thigh tightly and become a loyal dog of Da Shang.

This is what is most in line with the interests of King Shang. After all, Ji Kao, who is not in the top position, will not hesitate to sell Cheng Zhou's interests, but Ji Kao who became Uncle Zhou is not the current Ji Kao. Therefore, making Ji Kao become a place without Zhou Uncle Zhou made Ji Fa the Marquis of Jin who owns the land of Zhou.

Under such circumstances, Ji Fa must obtain greater authority and power to stop Ji Kao's influence from spreading and eroding. War is just one of the political means. He can stop Shang's army, but he cannot stop Ji Kao's envoy Mountains and mountains contacted various princes and nobles.

At that time, it will depend on who has the stronger wishing ability. Obviously, Ji Kao, who does not have Ji Chang on his head, has the stronger wishing ability. A kind of bad check, open it if you want.

But what about Ji Fa?He can't do it, he still has Ji Chang on his head, some things, even as a son of the direct line, are not promises he can make.

Zishou is looking forward to this time, what will Ji Fa do, will he face Ji Kao's offensive with his hands tied, or will he take the initiative to remove this layer of restraint, send Ji Chang to be the Supreme Emperor, and even follow Ji Kao's example and directly proclaim himself Zhou Bo?

After all, if Ji Fa is self-reliant, Ji Fa does have this claim, because he can claim that the eldest son is rebellious and self-reliant, loses the right of inheritance, and then he is the second person in line, so he will naturally inherit the position of Uncle Zhou, but the premise is that Ji Chang must abdicate give him.

Well, it’s okay to be abdicated. After all, there is no record of Yao being imprisoned by Shun in the past. As long as Ji Fa imprisoned Ji Chang and inherited the position of Zhou Bo, the king of Shang can completely deny it, and then it becomes the above-mentioned of.

With the illegal Uncle Zhou who owns the land of Zhou, and the legal Uncle Zhou who does not have the land of Zhou, the matter of Cheng Zhou will be completely quiet. As long as Ji Fa is dishonest, then Ji Kao will receive assistance from unknown sources, and Ji Kao has If there is any change, Ji Fa will get some hints of promises made by King Shang.

"Will the young master agree to the exam?"

"Does he have a choice?" Fei Lian squinted. It took Zishou a whole day to explain the political considerations to him, and then he was stunned by King Shang's lack of virtue.

This kind of immoral thing that I want to win three times and have to pay for it is really a blessing for a big businessman. , each of which is the kind that drives Cheng Zhou to death.

"He has to agree that he doesn't have any choice. If we withdraw the troops now, the only outcome of the son's exam is to be sent back to Xiqi in a prison van, and that will ruin the job."

"So that's how it is." Huang Feihu suddenly realized, Fei Lian explained to him for a long time and finally understood the considerations, "This kind of thing is really not what we warriors should do."

"It's all about serving the king"

"No, I mean, this kind of twists and turns is too annoying for us warriors" is the kind of "intelligence +1" but followed by "SAN-10" state.

"I have the sharpness of the merchant army, the love of the princes, and good ministers and advisors by my side, but Young Master Fa, there is only one Shangfu who doesn't know how to use it. How can I lose?" Yun Zhongzi was encouraging Ji Kao, and the gathering of the coalition forces All the courage he brought disappeared after seeing the hellish terrain of Tongguan. This kind of fortified city can only be captured if it is concentric and bears huge casualties.

And obviously the coalition army doesn't have any of them. The Luodong army is obviously not willing to die for the far away son of Xiqi, and those noble coalition forces come to play side drums. scattered.

"But Tongguan is so strong, how can we get down?"

"I'm afraid I have to rely on the power of some strangers." At the same time, Zhifu Mountain, the list of gods was flourishing, and every stranger and power who signed or intended to sign received the message of "the start of the war" and headed towards the battlefield. And the capitals of both countries are moving forward.

At the same time, all the restraining situation regulations on the list of gods also began to take effect one by one. There will be no more scenes of Zhao Jiang bombarding mortal soldiers indiscriminately like before. Well, it should be said that the scattered soldiers and camps were bombarded wantonly. There will be no more things like this, and on the battlefield, you can still sacrifice magic weapons and blow them to death.

This means that it is impossible to blow up Tongguan with magic weapons, and the Conferred Gods List also stipulates the exemption card. If the exemption card is displayed, the opponent's aliens will not be able to attack the mortal army of one's own side, and can only fight against the aliens on their own side.

However, since the mortal army is not restrained from attacking aliens and magic circles, this has both advantages and disadvantages. It avoids the end of being bombarded and killed by one's own army, but it also increases the chance of being united by the army array and the opponent's aliens. Hazard of hanging.

In Lutai Garden, in autumn and winter, Shang Wang used to work here, Ji Tang's "Gantang Palace" almost became his office, and the fox had to go back to Modu to preside over the overall situation, because Queen Jiang was taken over She is raising a baby, and she is about to give birth again.

"This thing is shining~" Zishou looked at the copy of the list of gods hanging up, and couldn't understand the meaning of the words on it. The only fox Huimo who could understand it presided over the winter sacrifice for Empress Jiang.

"What's this?" Ji Tang and Yu Shu leaned against Zishou's arms with their furs in their arms. In this season, holding two soft, milky, warm... hot water bottles is really exciting. Very relaxed.

"Ah, Fengshenbang, don't ask me, I don't know why it lights up this time." At this time, on the bank of the Huaihe River in the south, the young man who was leading a strange black tiger seemed to be completely lost, and was holding on to it while passing by. The businessman was asking for directions, and the latter found that this man was tall and burly, with two copper whips on his shoulders and a necklace inlaid with pearls around his neck, and he decisively asked the other party to escort him to Lutai City.

"That's it, that's all right, let's take it as your reward for answering my questions." The young man nodded, and then he went on the road with the merchant. When he reached the bank of the Yellow River, the special product of this era - Pirates, appeared .

There are always some down-and-out warriors who have lost their lords or owed debts, and have to lose their manors and become such armed men without owners. "Steal" this kind of occupation.

It is worth mentioning that in this era, thieves and bandits are three things. Thieves refer to ordinary criminals who steal or break the law. Bandits are enemies of invasion, and bandits refer to such illegal armed groups-bandits have their own bases. , and even have their own city and trilogy, such as Robotuo is a typical example.

Therefore, in the early laws, such as the Qin Law, there was a regulation: Killing a thief is like killing an enemy. In other words, if you kill a thief, it is equivalent to beheading on the battlefield, and you can gain military merit.

Now I understand why the king of Qin may encounter thieves when he left Xianyang. In fact, he misunderstood the difference between thieves and thieves here. The thieves are formed by ordinary people breaking the law, and the origin of the thieves is mostly the nobles of the six countries who lost their allegiance. An illegal armed group formed by the lord's samurai, similar to the Japanese ronin.

After Qin wiped out the Six Kingdoms, a large number of small and medium-sized nobles lost their fiefdoms and sources of livelihood, and a large number of soldiers from the Six Kingdoms could not smoothly integrate into the Qin army. Naturally, there will be more bandit groups than weeds.

The same is true for Shang, especially after a large number of Dongyi's internal attachments and a large number of tribes were shattered, bandit groups bloomed in Shang's territory at an alarming speed, plundering the countryside and roads.

Of course, when hunting, they are also a kind of prey, and they will be swept away by the merchant army, but this kind of sweeping is difficult to clean up, after all, most of them hide in those inaccessible places as bases, and even cultivate fields .

Moreover, they will not confront the official army head-on, and in autumn and winter, when the harvest is put into storage, and the official army cannot gather for various reasons, it is time for them to go down the mountain to burn, kill and loot.

"Wow, there are a lot of robbers." The young man looked at the guys who were roaring outside the car formation. These people were unkempt, wearing simple leather armor, and holding sharp knives in their hands. It could be seen that they had killed people before, and they might have done so before. The heroic soldiers on the battlefield have only been reduced to this level due to various reasons.

These armored people are the main force, while the remaining fugitive slaves, fugitives, and barbarians hold wooden weapons and wear thin protective gear to cover on both sides. They are not opponents of the regular army, but they are enough to break through this small group. The convoy of merchants (the merchants here are not merchants, but all the merchants) ransacked all the tributes they sent to the capital, and even some powerful bandits dared to attack the convoys of minor nobles.

"Brave man, yes, is there a way?" They are just people from the small towns around the big town of Lutai. Although martial arts are generally abundant in this era, there are still a few bronze swords and axes, but the armor is really not what they can bear. equipment.

"Yes, but it's hard to deal with..." The young man rubbed his chin with a solemn expression, and the black tiger beside him let out a deep growl, which made the merchants even more worried.

"Strong man, with your bravery, aren't you an opponent?"
