While taking control of the Holy Fort, the Nanyi soldiers accidentally discovered that a group of people were imprisoned in the fort. After questioning, they learned that these people were actually the clan leaders of various ethnic groups in Tujia Fort.
When Ling Yun heard the news, he was a little surprised. At the same time, he also had some strange thoughts. Perhaps the key to truly conquering Tujia Fort lies in this group of people.
Of course, Ling Yun was not in a hurry to see them. He just asked the soldiers to arrange them in a courtyard, then sent Guo Yining to lead heavy troops to guard them, and warned him not to make any mistakes.
After the explanation was completed, he was allowed to lead the troops and leave. Guo Yixiu also left with him. However, Guo Yixiu's task was not to guard the clan leaders, but to lay an ambush, that is, to set an ambush on the Tujia's only way back to the Holy Castle.
It is used to block the Tujia army who want to withdraw to the Holy Fort.
…
The place where the Zhuang people live is called Panli Fort. Panli Fort is located on a hill. The hill is not big and only slightly raised. At this time, two teams are fighting on the mountainside of Panli Fort.
If you observe carefully, you can find that the soldiers on the mountainside are gradually retreating, and the soldiers at the bottom of the hill are attacking fiercely. The attacks are getting stronger and stronger every time. They are invincible and devastating. It can be seen that if no accident occurs, the soldiers on the mountainside will
It will be unable to withstand the offensive and fall back suddenly.
In the front hall of Panglibao, there was a middle-aged man sitting on a chair with a solemn expression. Sometimes he lowered his head in thought, sometimes raised his head and stared at the door, as if he was waiting for something. He looked worried and frowning, as if he was worried about something.
"Brother Pan, it's not good..."
At this time, accompanied by heavy breathing, a person rushed in from outside the door. After a closer look, you could see that the person was dirty, his clothes were in tatters, and his arms were stained everywhere.
There was bright red blood on it, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death fight.
When he walked up to the man, he gasped and said, "Brother Chengwen, the front... the front can't hold it anymore, the Tujia... the Tujia's offensive is so fierce that our army can't bear it at all. The most abominable thing is that the Jing and Shui tribes
These two idiot traitors actually turned against us in the middle of the battle. Damn it, they attacked us from behind while we were fighting in the front. Without taking precautions, our army had no time to react and suffered heavy losses.
…”
When the man heard this, he stood up suddenly and murmured to himself, "This... how is this possible? Aren't the clan leaders of the Jing and Shui tribes also detained in the Holy Castle? How could they turn against us and betray us?"
It turned out that this man was Pan Chengwen, the commander of the Zhuang army, and the person who came in was Pan Chengjiang, who was also a general of the Zhuang people. But now facing the fierce offensive of the Tujia people, he had to come back here to find a way to deal with it.
"Brother Chengwen, what should we do now?"
"How to do how to do…"
Pan Chengwen was so confused that he couldn't find a solution to the matter. He kept scratching his head, frowning tightly, and walked around the hall, as anxious as a hot pot.
Ant, but even so, he still hasn't thought of a way to solve the current trouble.
Pan Chengwen, who was so anxious, could not calm his restless heart at all. He could only waver and waver in his footsteps, surging with emotions that were difficult to calm down, and waves of hot air that were about to swell.
In desperation, he clenched his hands tightly into fists and gritted his teeth, "Cheng Jiang, for the current plan, we can only grit our teeth and persist. If we really lose, Yang Qinhai will never let go."
If you pass us, the clan leader may be in danger."
"But...hey!"
Pan Chengjiang wanted to say something, but when he thought of the current situation he was facing, he could only shake his head helplessly. After a pause, he clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind, raised his head and said, "Brother Chengwen, stick to your position, I have no objection.
But we also have to prepare early.”
Pan Chengwen looked at him, "What do you mean?"
Pan Chengjiang gritted his teeth and said with a heavy voice, "Brother Chengwen, if we people die, we will die, but we have to let the children of the clan live so that our Zhuang clan can continue. Otherwise, when Yang Qinhai comes and kills us, we will die with him."
He is so ruthless and ruthless that he might do something tragic. The Lord of the Castle has learned from the past, so we have to make preparations early and send the child out."
"send out?"
Pan Chengwen lowered his head and thought for a moment. When he raised his head again, his face was filled with sadness and despair. He said sadly, "Send them out, but where can we send them?"
"Further south, over the jungle and across the Beicang River is Jiaozhi. But if you are sent to Jiaozhi, you will not understand the language, and you are afraid of life or death. To the north is Nanyi Prefecture, but a few days ago, the traitor Yang Qinhai killed hundreds of people.
The people of Nanyi Prefecture also shot and wounded the governor of Nanyi Prefecture. We sent the children down, fearing that fate would be unpredictable..."
Pan Chengjiang let out a long sigh and said dejectedly, "But...at this point, we have nothing to do. The best way is to send the children out of the clan, but it is better to have a chance of survival than to just sit back and wait for death."
Pan Chengwen looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh my God! Are we Zhuang people really going to be destroyed?"
At this critical moment, Pan Chengwen sighed with emotion and finally made up his mind, "Chengjiang, go and prepare immediately to smuggle the children and women of the clan out of Tujia Fort and send them to Shangsi County... There may be a glimmer of hope there, but please
Nanyi Zhizhou is not a ruthless person, otherwise our Zhuang clan would really be in danger of life or death..."
"Yes, I'll go right away..."
Just as Pan Chengjiang was leaving, a scream came in, "Report...Commander Chengwen, good news, the Tujia...Yang Qinhai has withdrawn his troops, we...we are saved."
"What?"
Pan Chengwen and Pan Chengjiang were startled at the same time and looked at the person in disbelief. Pan Chengjiang reacted and grabbed the person's shoulders. He shook the person hard and asked, "Xingye, you...just...what did you just say, Yang Qinhai?"
Withdrawal?"
The visitor is Pan Xingye, a young man under twenty who serves as a bodyguard for the clan.
In the exciting moment, Pan Chengjiang had no idea how hard he used to grab Pan Xingye's shoulders with both hands, causing the latter to suck in air-conditioning and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Chengjiang hurts..."
As soon as these words came out, Pan Chengjiang noticed that his hands were tightly grasping his shoulders, "Oh! Xingye, it's all Uncle Chengjiang's fault for not paying attention for a moment."
He released his hand, patted Pan Xingye's shoulder twice, and said impatiently, "Xingye boy, you... tell Uncle Cheng Jiang, Yang Qinhai... that traitor Yang Qinhai really left with his army?"
Pan Chengwen looked at Pan Xingye intently, and it was obvious that he was also waiting for Pan Xingye's answer.
Pan Xingye swallowed his saliva, looked at the two men and said, "Commander Cheng Wen, Uncle Cheng Jiang, it is absolutely true that Yang Qinhai has retreated with the Tujia army, and he retreated very quickly, as if something big happened."
He whispered softly, "You are running so fast. Could it be that something happened to the Holy Castle?"
After confirming again and again that it was correct, Pan Chengwen and Pan Chengjiang both felt relieved and exhaled heavily. Pan Chengwen burst out laughing, "Hahaha... Well done, well done. No matter what happened to him, it's best..."
It's best for someone to sneak attack the Holy Castle, so that we can have a chance!"
At a time when the Zhuang people's survival was at stake, it was a joy to hear the news of Yang Qinhai's withdrawal. In the blink of an eye, Pan Chengwen's face showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time, and he was overjoyed.
It can be seen that at this moment, he was sincerely happy.
