"What!" Zhao Yi and Zhang Jin were stunned. The barbarians had broken in?
How many barbarians were there? How did they break in?
"Where is my army? How did the barbarians break in? " Zhao Yi did not dare to think about it. He had 4,000 soldiers under him. Normally, although these barbarians were brave, they did not have any iron weapons. They were different from the tribes outside the Great Wall. The tribes outside the Great Wall could exchange their horses for iron weapons. The only thing these barbarians had were the furs of wild beasts.
How much were these things worth? Even if they were worth money, they were used to exchange for salt.
There were many people selling furs at the border between Yi Province and Jingzhou.
For a long time, the Barbarians were only able to take advantage of the internal strife between the Han Chinese and the Barbarians. But now, they were actually allowed to enter the city?
"Where is Wang Cheng? Tell Wang Cheng to come and see me!" Zhao Yi shouted.
"Second Young Master, General Wang Cheng has not returned yet!"
"How can that be?"
"Oh, oh, oh!" The shouts in the city all day long told Young Master Zhao Yi that the barbarian had really entered the city.
Meanwhile, General Wang Cheng, who he was thinking about, was still playing hide-and-seek with the barbarian army led by Huzi on a mountaintop outside the Yi Province.
"Don't run!" Wang Cheng gritted his teeth and looked at the barbarian soldiers who were like monkeys in the forest.
Those barbarian soldiers did not know the Han language. If they did, they would have told Wang Cheng that they would be fools if they did not run.
There were 4,000 barbarian soldiers behind them. How many people did they have? They looked like they had a lot of people, but in fact, there were less than a thousand of them. Many of the barbarian soldiers were carrying a scarecrow in their hands as they shuttled through the forest. This made Wang Cheng think that this was a large-scale barbarian army.
Wang Cheng wanted to make a contribution and improve himself. After all, Zhao Wei had many capable people under him. If Wang Cheng could win Zhao Wei's heart, he would not have stayed in Yunnan.
Since he could not get the merit of Yunnan, he would just take down the barbarians. It was better than nothing.
However, these barbarian monkeys were lost in a painting. Especially after they entered the forest, he could not catch up with them.
Fortunately, Wang Cheng's soldiers often traveled in the mountains, so they didn't lose sight of him.
"General, we, we can't catch up with them anymore!" Wang Cheng's deputy came to Wang Cheng's side and said while panting.
It was too tiring. They had already walked seventy to eighty miles out of Yunnan.
There was no flat path in the forest, and it was tiring to watch the broadcast along the way.
"No, even if you can't catch him, you have to!" Wang Cheng, on the other hand, was very certain about this. This was because he had a feeling that these barbarians had a special characteristic, and that was that they would always run towards their nests. This way, they could follow the clues and kill their way there. As long as they flattened their tribes, they wouldn't be afraid of not coming back.
"General, let's take a break first! We won't be able to catch up for a while! "
"What if those barbarians escape?" Wang Cheng disagreed. "Brothers, as long as we persevere for a while, we will definitely be able to catch up with those barbarians. Their nests are not far away. As long as we reach their nests, victory will be ours!" Wang Cheng said to the people over there.
Under Wang Cheng's words, the soldiers of Zhao Wei Army really stood up. This showed that Wang Cheng had a lot of prestige in the army.
Just as Wang Cheng's face was filled with joy and relief. A person ran over in a hurry.
"General, general, this is bad, this is bad!" A messenger was panting, and his entire face was flushed red.
"Wang Fei?" Wang Cheng looked at the person in front of him and was puzzled. "Why are you here?" This person was one of the hundred men left behind to guard Yunnan City. Why was he here?
"General, this is bad. Yunnan City, Yunnan City has been breached!"
"What?"
"Yunnan City has been breached by those barbarians!"
"Wow!" The thousands of soldiers by Wang Cheng's side were also in an uproar. Yunnan City had been breached? Wasn't this a joke?
If it was any other Han soldiers, they would still believe it. However, this was a barbarian. Everyone looked at Wang Fei as if he was an idiot.
This barbarian was being chased by them to the point that he wished his parents had given him two more legs. Why would he attack Yunnan City?
"It's true. Second Young Master and Lord Zhang Jin have given the order for the general to immediately return to Yunnan!" Wang Fei was on the verge of tears. He had run seventy li to get here. The mountain roads were not easy to traverse. Fortunately, Wang Fei was fast enough. There were also traces of the army in front of him. That was why he was able to catch up.
As he spoke, Wang Fei took out a letter.
"General, general, look!" The scout at the front also brought over something.
"What is this?" A thousand-man soldier took it from the scout's hand and looked at it. "A scarecrow?" Wasn't this a scarecrow that was set up in the fields to drive away small animals like sparrows?
The scout told Wang Cheng that this scarecrow was left behind by the barbarians.
"Not good!" Wang Cheng finally believed Wang Fei's words. His face turned ugly. This scarecrow was left behind by the barbarians.
That meant that these barbarians were not in the thousands. They were also not a large army. They were only here to hold them back.
With the barbarians holding them back, they had four thousand men. Yunnan City only had a thousand men defending it. This time, they were in trouble.
"Pass down my orders! The rear troops will become the front troops. The front troops will cover each other. We will return to Yunnan! "Wang Cheng made a prompt decision and prepared to return to Yunnan.
"Yes!" The order was quickly passed down.
"Eh? They're not chasing anymore? They're going back? "The soldiers in the Yunnan army did not understand why they were not chasing anymore.
"Lower your voice. Let me tell you. I heard that Yunnan has been surrounded by the barbarians!" A soldier who knew the inside story whispered among the troops.
"Is that true?" Someone asked in disbelief.
"How could it be false? I heard it from our Marquis. How could it be false?"
Moreover, this military marquis had heard it from the hundred-man generals, and the hundred-man generals had naturally heard it from their thousand-man generals. Just like that, this kind of panic spread through the army.
Wang Cheng saw this and felt anxious in his heart. But what could he do?
Fortunately, after knowing that Yunnan was surrounded, the Yunnan army moved faster. Many of them had homes in Yunnan City. Now that the city was surrounded, they were naturally worried about their families.
"Ah ah, oh oh, secretly oh oh!" Hu Zi was in the front of the barbarian army. His subordinates were naturally monitoring the Yunnan army.
Looking at the clansmen in front of Huzi, other people might not understand, but how could Huzi not understand?
"Ah ah, oh oh, yes, Savai Li!" Hu Zi also replied to this clansman. His brows were tightly knitted together. From this clansman's words, he knew that the Han commander was no longer chasing after them. He no longer wanted to play with them, but instead wanted to go back.
No! Hu Zi shook his head. He had promised Mr. Wen He that he would delay these people for at least three days. It had only been one and a half days. There was still one and a half days left.
"Wa wa wa, Cheney squeeze, touch Nainai!" Hu Zi ordered his subordinates.
Very quickly, the barbarians nodded.
Wang Cheng walked among the Central Army. He was also extremely anxious. He thought about the situation in Yunnan. When did these barbarians learn the art of war?! They actually used the tactic of luring the enemy in. There were also those scarecrows. This was clearly not something the barbarians knew.
There was definitely a Han among them. And this Han was not a simple person.
Wang Cheng thought about it and was actually not far from the truth.
"Che, squeeze, squeeze!" Wang Cheng was stunned and only heard this shout.
Countless barbarians ran out of the forest and spread out to attack the Yunnan army.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The Yunnan army on the other side shouted.
The barbarian army actually turned around and attacked them.
Wang Cheng was so angry that he laughed. "Good, good! I didn't go looking for you, but you ran over to die! Pass down my orders. Stay here and fight. We must take their heads back to Yunnan! "Wang Cheng knew that even if he returned to Yunnan, he would not be able to escape punishment.
If Yunnan City was breached, he would die even more miserably. Wang Cheng had followed Zhao Wei for a long time. He only cared about the results and did not care about the process. He was the commander of the army stationed in Yunnan. Although he had Zhao Yi's orders, Zhao Yi was still Zhao Wei's second son.
Zhao Wei could not kill Zhao Yi, but he, Wang Cheng, might not.
Therefore, Wang Cheng was furious. He was originally worried about the situation in Yunnan. Now that this barbarian had come to cause trouble, his anger swelled up.
He must kill these barbarians to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Very quickly, the Yunnan army began to set up defenses. However, the barbarians caught the Yunnan army off guard and left dozens of corpses. They shouted, "Che Wan, squeeze, squeeze!"
In an instant, they disappeared into the forest like a tide.
"You want to leave? Impossible!" Wang Cheng ordered his elites to bite the barbarians' tail and then gather the army to annihilate them.
"General, Yunnan City!" The deputy general reminded Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng gritted his teeth and ordered, "Retreat!" Wang Cheng could only turn around and leave.
However, the barbarians seemed to be fighting to the death with Wang Cheng.
As long as Wang Cheng's army turned around, they would immediately squeeze over and wait for Wang Cheng to take revenge. Then, they would squeeze and run away.
Wang Cheng did not know whether to chase or not chase. Just like that, he wasted several hours and walked less than ten li. How could he reach Yunnan at such a speed?
"Commandant Qian, leave behind a thousand soldiers and help me delay these barbarians. Once I confirm the situation in Yunnan, I will send troops to attack them together with you and destroy their troops!"
"Yes!" Commandant Qian nodded.
Wang Cheng glared fiercely at the barbarian soldiers and turned around to leave.
Commandant Qian was not worried about his own safety. In his opinion, he had a thousand elites under his command. In addition, everyone was armed to the teeth with armor and sabers. Those barbarians would probably not even be able to break through his armor. Previously, they had been caught off guard. Therefore, just look at how tired those soldiers were, but how few of them were killed or injured.
Now that he had a thousand soldiers waiting solemnly, those barbarians naturally had no way of escaping.
As expected, the barbarians were still preparing to use the same tactic. Unfortunately, with a thousand soldiers blocking their way, the barbarians' harassment tactics were useless. They even left dozens of corpses behind.
Commandant Qian was even happier.
"Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!" The barbarian soldiers surrounded Hu Zi tightly.
Hu Zi also looked at the thousand soldiers waiting solemnly.
"Haha, barbarians, come out. Come out and fight with your Grandpa Qian Xiao. Aren't you trying to be brave? Come on! Grandson! Your Grandpa Qian Xiao is here. Haha! " Qian Xiao laughed wantonly within the formation.
Even if these barbarians did not understand Chinese, they could tell from their expressions that this enemy general was not saying anything good.
"Cut, squeeze, squeeze!" The barbarian soldiers shouted with righteous indignation.
Hu Zi also looked at the Yunnan army and finally nodded his head. "Tsk!"
"Form the arrows, form the arrows!" The barbarian soldiers shouted and rushed out of the forest one by one.
"Haha, these uncivilized barbarians, they can't hold it in anymore! Hmph, then come. Let your Grandpa Qian Xiao teach you what the art of war is and what sharp weapons are! " Qian Xiao was very pleased. When the barbarians and the Han people fought, their greatest weakness was their weapons and armor.
Although they had a strong body, without any weapons, how could they be a match for swords and sabers?
"Shua shua shua!" As if in response to Qian Xiao's words, the thousand barbarian soldiers all took out a saber. Some of them even took out two sabers each. The extra sabers were naturally from the barbarian soldiers who had died in battle.
"Oh, you even have weapons? Where did these scraps come from?" Qian Xiao was still disdainful.
"Surrender and I won't kill you!" Hu Zi stood up and said to Qian Xiao.
"Oh, you even know how to speak Chinese? Haha, that's great. When I take you down, I'll make you explain who ordered you to attack my Yunnan! " Qian Xiao was Wang Cheng's trusted aide. Otherwise, Wang Cheng would not have let Qian Xiao bring up the rear. He naturally knew that these barbarians were commanded by someone.
"Idiot!" Hu Zi greeted Qian Xiao.
"What?" Although Qian Xiao did not understand what Hu Zi meant, he knew that it was not something good.
Of course, it was not something good. This sentence was taught to Hu Zi by Liu Mang.
"Idiot!" These barbarians all learned from one another. When a thousand of them shouted together, the momentum was not bad.
"Hmph! I want to see if your mouth is harder than my saber! "Qian Xiao shouted from the other side.
"Cut, squeeze, squeeze!" At Huzi's command, these barbarian soldiers charged towards Qian Xiao's troops like tigers coming down from the mountains.
