Qilian Mountains.

The night is already deep.

Under the cover of night, the rocks and trees in the distance seem to transform into monsters of various shapes, showing their majesty in this quiet and cold mountainous area. In the temporary camp of the Liangzhou Qiang people, piles of bonfires have been lit to help everyone resist the chilly night in the mountainous area.

.

Most of the Qiang people slept soundly around the campfire, snoring one after another.

Looking at the sleeping companions scattered around not far away, I felt confused and envious.

It was his turn to be on duty in the middle of the night, which made Mi Mi feel depressed and unwilling. As a famous warrior in the clan, when would he need to do these chores? However, those who are qualified to cross the Qilian Mountains to hunt down the enemy are all famous warriors from various clans, and many are more famous than him.

, and the tribe where Mi Mi is not strong is not very strong, so he is inevitably subjected to these tasks.

There are countless Qiang tribes, and they are called the Qiang family. But the status of each tribe is ultimately determined by their strength.

Night watch is related to the life and death of many people, so I don't dare to be careless about it.

The attacks by the Han army in recent days have been crazy, making the Qiang guards frightened.

After fighting so many times, the Qiang people know that almost all of their opponents are not Han people, but Yizhou Yi people. However, military discipline orders, combat methods, and battle formations are not the same as the Han army. The identity of the Han army is unquestionable. It is composed purely of Yizhou people.

The Han army not only possessed the unique tenacity and bravery of the Yi people, but also learned the war skills and disciplines that the Han people relied on to dominate the world, showing unusually strong combat power.

The coalition of Qiang warriors, composed of warriors from all ethnic groups, was at an absolute disadvantage when fighting against the Han army, which proved how terrifying the Han army on the opposite side was.

Others said that there were Qiang people in the Han army, which made the Qiang warriors even more frightened.

The terrifying legend of the "magic soldier" has been passed down from generation to generation in various tribes and has become a lingering shadow for the Qiang people. Although the top leaders of the coalition forces blocked this news, it is obviously unrealistic to expect the discipline of the improvised team to be good.

Actual events, coupled with frequent battles, and more and more evidence showed that the Qiang people knew that there were indeed Ti people in the Han army, but their number was relatively small.

With an army with "magic weapons", no wonder it is so strong!

The general offensive launched the night before yesterday suffered a disastrous defeat, which had a great impact on the morale of the Qiang coalition army.

The Han army was obviously caught off guard by altitude sickness, but still repelled the Qiang attack. How is it possible?

Did mountain sickness not defeat the Han army?

As we all know, no matter how strong a warrior is, he cannot escape the attack of altitude sickness!

That general offensive included both a frontal assault and a surprise attack from the rear. In the eyes of the Qiang warriors who mostly relied on their instincts to fight bravely, the general offensive organization was perfect and qualified to become a classic battle. However, such a perfect attack was met with an unexpected defeat.

An incredible defeat.

The most elite five hundred warriors were almost wiped out. In the end, many people were pushed down the cliff alive by the Han army like pigs. Their screams of despair and unwillingness made people shudder.

From that day on, Mi Li's resistance to duty dropped sharply.

Shoot the first bird.

Working as a handyman also has its advantages. At least you don't have to be like the five hundred warriors, burdened with the reputation of "the strongest warrior" and sent to perform the most difficult and critical tasks with the least room for change.

The Han army, which survived the general attack, immediately launched a frantic counterattack against the Qiang coalition forces.

On the night of the general attack, not long after the Qiang people withdrew their troops, the Han army unexpectedly launched a counterattack. You must know that the Han army lacked food and medicine and was suffering from altitude sickness. After repelling the Qiang people's massive attack, no one expected that the Han army was exhausted.

The Han army had the ability to quickly organize a counterattack. After hearing that the Qiang people outside were cut down in large areas, the Qiang camp rushed to meet the enemy. In the end, more than 200 Qiang warriors were killed. If the Han army was not alone, plus the

The Qiang people were already at the end of their strength and did not dare to fight. The price the Qiang people paid for that attack on the camp was bound to be even heavier.

The Han army retreated, and the chaos in the Qiang camp gradually subsided.

What is even more unexpected is that at dawn, the Han army came back.

Although they had stepped up their vigilance after the first attack, it was not far from dawn at that time. After a night of tossing, the Qiang people were so tired that they just wanted to fall asleep. There were fewer people, the situation was more difficult, and the fighting intensity was higher.

The physical exhaustion of the army will naturally be worse, not to mention that both sides are affected by mountain sickness to varying degrees. No matter how you look at it, the Han army should not be able to continue the attack, so the additional sentries are not particularly concerned.

After all, it's almost dawn, and there's no way the Han army will come again!

Everyone thinks so.

But the Han army launched an attack again, just when everyone thought it was impossible.

Nearly a hundred Qiang people became victims of the sword in a daze.

In the next two days, the Han army did not run away as hard as they did in the previous days. They took advantage of the favorable terrain and guarded the intersection to prevent the Qiang from breaking through. At the same time, they mobilized their troops to attack the Qiang camp through the mountains and cliffs. The Han army had limited strength.

, but the small-scale harassment one after another also made the Qiang people extremely annoyed. If they were left unchecked, some people would die. If they were always careful, it would be difficult to tighten the string for a long time, and they would be exhausted physically and mentally.

The coalition is a temporary patchwork of many tribes. When the wind is favorable, everything is fine, but when times are adverse, differences are easy to arise.

The failure of the general offensive had a great impact on the morale of the Qiang coalition forces.

Summarizing the results of several leaders, some people believe that our side still has an absolute advantage. The Han army is just struggling to death and continues to attack, draining the last drop of blood from the Han army. Victory is a matter of course. Others believe that the Han army is holding on to the dangerous point.

A small number of troops resisted the Qiang attack, making it difficult for the Qiang coalition forces to take advantage of their strength. They should immediately divide their troops and go around behind the Han army to block their return. At that time, they would either attack from two sides, or directly block the Han army who lacked food and starve them in place.

In the past few days, the Han army could collapse without a fight without taking the initiative to attack. Some people think that the Qiang family in the world should immediately contact the Qiang tribes on the plateau, even if it costs some money, and ask the brother tribes here for help.

This Han army has no wings to fly.

As a result of the discussion, no one could convince anyone.

In the end, they compromised with each other, attacking from the front, dividing their troops to move around the rear, and asking for help from other tribes.

Even ordinary Qiang warriors like Mi Mi know that hesitation is a taboo for military strategists, not to mention the so-called "three-pronged approach". However, the coalition does not have a strong leader to take charge of the overall situation. Several leaders are of equal strength and all want to be here.

In order to gain favor from the Liangzhou Army in order to gain the favor from the Liangzhou Army, and to finally coordinate such a result, we can no longer expect too much.

The division of troops weakened the coalition's combat effectiveness. In addition, the coalition had to wait for the troops to move to the rear of the Han army, and it would also take time to request local reinforcements. Naturally, attacking the Han army's dangerous situation could only be a vain attempt, and it was impossible to achieve results.

As the saying goes, "Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind." Under the circumstances, the isolated Han army was more active and repeatedly used the terrain to attack the Qiang camps.

What's even more frightening is that the Han army secretly intercepted and killed the envoys sent to contact the local Qiang people! The coalition leaders had to send more messengers and take a longer route, hoping to bypass the Han army's interceptions and successfully contact the Qilian Mountains.

The Qiang tribes worked together to deal with the Han army, which was in dire straits but still did not give them any peace of mind.

When the coalition forces pursued them through the Qilian Mountains, they thought they could achieve a quick victory.

By now, this idea is obviously unrealistic.

A siege in which the masses bullied the few turned into a protracted war of attrition.

Thinking that the battle would be difficult to end quickly and that he might miss the tribe's mountain sacrifice meeting, Mi Lun sighed secretly.

Just then, he heard a strange noise.

By the time he realized the sound of a crossbow bolt coming out of its string, it was already too late.

A simple wooden arrow hit the throat!

Mi Mi covered his neck with his hands, trying to sound a warning, but nothing could come out.
Chapter completed!
