Half a month before Gan Ning arrived in Liaodong, he was thousands of miles away in the Five Ridges of Jingnan...
Chen Gong was captured alive.
To be precise, Chen Gong was very prepared and cooperated with the other party to get himself captured alive.
Along with Chen Gong, tens of thousands of Shanyue warriors were captured.
Just one day ago, this number was about to double again...
However, with the cooperation of the Snake Repair Department, the elite of Hook Snake and Ming Snake, nearly 20,000 mountain warriors, fell into the opponent's trap, were blocked in the gourd-shaped valley, and were greeted by condescending rocks and random arrows.
.
Fortunately... Chen Gong had already seen through Wang Kong's conspiracy, but he just went with the flow without stopping. At the same time, he had been careful to maintain a relatively safe position in the team since entering the valley.
When he encountered a sneak attack, Chen Gong immediately found a bunker and used his mental power to deflect some unfortunate arrows.
It seems dangerous, but in fact it is far less dangerous than the one half a month ago!
…
That time half a month ago, Chen Gong couldn't bear to see their weak chickens pecking each other, so he skillfully guided Shan Yue to fight an ambush battle that was not very satisfactory - not to mention Xiu She's Wangkong, Hook Snake and Hook Snake
The leader of Ming Shen also didn't trust Chen Gong, so he could only "guide" him.
It’s as if an older fake young lady who only knows how to say “ah” is directing the useless detectives and the fat police department to handle the case...
Perhaps even they themselves didn't realize that they could ambush the Wuxi people with "miraculous skills" if provided by God. This was due to Chen Gong's seemingly inadvertent reminders several times.
However, during the closing stage, Chen Gong did not expect that Shamoke would be so fierce!
Under the power of the trapped beast, they fought to find a way out - not to break out of the encirclement, but to go straight to the location of Chen Palace in the encirclement.
After all, Chen Gong was not commanding this battle. Normally, the Shanyue people did not even share information with Chen Gong. They just overheard some sporadic information because they did not know that Chen Gong had secretly learned their Shanyue language.
Chen Gong relied on some information he heard and the silent guidance of Runwu to complete this plan. Naturally, there were many loopholes in the organization...
At that time, Chen Gong and a middle-level tribal leader led people to block the only "shengmen" in the ambush.
It seems that this is the safest position for the attacker, otherwise the leaders of Hook Snake and Crooked Snake would not dare to let Chen Gong here, but on the surface, this place that is least likely to be broken out is where the way to survive is...
I don't know if it was intuition or coincidence, but when his life was in danger, Shamoko instinctively rushed over here.
He actually managed to kill Chen Gong by relying on his personal force and the overall ferocious aura brought up by him!
Fortunately, Chen Gong has not been idle these days, and has also made friends with some Shanyue tribesmen. For example, the tribe next to him at this time admired Chen Gong very much and volunteered to take on the task of guarding.
Although Shamoko was unstoppable,... the moment he saw Chen Gong's attire, Shamoko, who was originally red-eyed, calmed down a bit, then pretended to be weak, and continued to lead everyone to break out, giving up interception.
A chance to kill Chen Gong!
At that time, when Shamoko and Chen Gong were closest, they were already less than one foot away from him. Chen Gong could also clearly see Shamoko's subtle reaction.
…
It's the same as half a month ago. It's an ambush battle, but the offensive and defensive sides are different.
The Shanyue people are really not good at dealing with sneak attacks. To be precise, most of the barbarian soldiers and generals are like this.
More than 20,000 people were walking scattered in the valley, and they were fighting independently in response to sneak attacks. Moreover, there was a lack of effective overall instructions and segmented command, so it was normal for them to be defeated like a mountain.
The former Wuxi people half a month ago actually performed better than them.
On the one hand, it was because the Wuxi people had previously intervened in the Jingnan Rebellion and fought with the Han army. They had more opportunities to coordinate operations, so they also learned some tactics and formations; on the other hand, the number of people fighting between the two armies at that time was only two to three thousand.
——The advantage of having less is that the smaller the number of people, the easier it is to command and dispatch!
After all, there is only one Han Xin who "the more the merrier".
In addition, there is a beast-like Shamoko. Although his fighting style lacks beauty, he is very inspiring among the Wuxi people.
Even the Wuxi warriors who usually regard Shamoko as a fool will be inspired by him and become excited. This is almost a special talent, similar to Zhang Liao's charge, but different.
However, in Shanyue, there are obviously no such warriors. They are blocked in the gourd-shaped valley and can only be slaughtered by others!
However, Chen Gong and the warriors from the tribe who followed him lurked in the relatively safe mountain valleys and persisted until Mohuken ordered the surrender.
Nearly half of the 20,000 Shanyue warriors were dead or injured at this time, and the remaining ones had lost all courage...
And after this battle, the other 50,000 to 60,000 Shanyue warriors should also retreat to the south of Zhangling like a tide.
Because the main force of the 20,000 people who were defeated were the Hooked Snakes and the Ringing Snakes, as well as the elites of the middle tribes closest to them. Among the three major tribes, the Snake Tribe joined forces with the enemy. Most of the other two tribes were killed or injured, and the remaining
The small tribe naturally slipped back in disarray.
At this time, the three-month deadline for the White Tiger Festival is already very close, and the content of the White Tiger Festival is to "kill the invading Shanyue people 'in the land of Wuling'", so this ambush should be the Wuling
The end of the barbaric war...
In three months, both sides suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
Although Shanyue gathered more people, the way the two sides fought did not reflect the numerical advantage at all.
Shanyue had weapons that had been eliminated by the general government, but Wuxi Man was more familiar with the terrain, so he just gave it a 50-50 shot.
Less than half of them are due to the merits of the White Tiger Department, plus this last time, Mohuken almost killed all the elites of Song Snake and Hook Snake in one fell swoop!
Counting the prisoners, Mohuken's White Tigers killed more Shanyue people than all the other Wuxi barbarians combined!
Usually in this kind of "trial", the combined tribes will add up their results, and the tribe that serves as the alliance leader will obtain the ownership of the White Tiger Princess. After that, the alliance leader will also allocate quotas to the tribes under his command every year.
However, this time, Mohuken can ensure that after being divided into three equal parts, his record will be higher than that of the others combined. In the next ten years, he will dominate the three White Tiger Girls and have the right to control all quotas...
Even after Chen Gong was captured, he did not panic.
In fact, even the Wuxi barbarians who looked like wolves and tigers, after seeing Chen Gong's dress, although they were still very fierce, they also restrained their actions a lot. They bared their teeth and made gesticulations to invite Chen Gong to the motel.
Suddenly in front of me.
When Mohuken first saw Chen Gong, he pretended to be ferocious, claiming that it was Chen Gong and other Han people who encouraged Shan Yue to fight with them, as if he wanted to take revenge on Chen Gong by tearing out his bones.
However, Chen Gong was not moved at all. Instead, he declared righteously that the attitude of the General's Office was "win-win cooperation" and emphasized that the current situation was entirely caused by the Wuxi people's willful actions. Afterwards, he affirmed Mohuken
The practice of releasing the Han army...
At the same time, he also urged Mohuken to release those Shanyue prisoners as soon as possible.
There is nothing wrong with this rhetoric in itself, but... it is more suitable to say it in front of the two armies, or when handing letters to each other, rather than in front of the other party as a "prisoner".
However, when Mo Huken heard this, his face was gloomy for a while, and he really laughed and said: "Hahaha, you are indeed a wise man among the Han people! Your last words are not wrong. We have no enmity with the Han people, we are just fighting against the invasion.
Shanyue in our territory is still very friendly to the Han people.
In a few days, the White Tiger Festival will be over. At that time, I will give those Shanyue people to the White Tiger ancestors first. Since Mr. Chen is familiar with them, he should also come and watch the ceremony!"
Although he seemed polite, not only did he not release the prisoners in Shanyue, but he prepared to "human sacrifice" them all.
However, he specifically confirmed that he was not hostile to the Han people - in fact, from the moment he was released, Chen Gong was sure that he had great intentions and would not fall out with the general's government now.
Shamoko on the side looked at Chen Gong with some envy, but when someone else noticed him, he immediately changed into a cruel and bloodthirsty expression and eyes.
"In Tuwei Qiu before, it was you who rushed behind me with three people and almost killed me, right?" Chen Gong asked after spotting Shamoko.
When Mohuken saw that Chen Gong was wise and didn't mention the prisoners again, he sneered with satisfaction and looked at Chen Gong and Shamoko as if they were watching a show.
Mohuken's confidant on the side also had the intention of teasing Samoko for fun and started to translate for Samoko.
Of course, based on Chen Gong's understanding of Wuxi barbarian language, although the meaning was roughly the same, the other party added a lot of filthy and humiliating words to his words.
"Then are you so scared that you pee? Two-legged sheep!" Shamoko said deliberately murderously, like a mad dog salivating between its sharp teeth.
However, Shamoko's "character" did not understand Chinese, so he spoke in barbarian language. Naturally, Chen Gong pretended not to understand and waited for the other party to translate.
But before the other party spoke, Mohuken interrupted: "Okay! Mr. Chen is laughing, so there is no need to get angry with him... take him down to rest."
Even though Samoko was a fool, Mohuken had to be concerned about his martial arts. If he had not been a fool, he would never have survived to this day, and Mohuken did not want him to have any communication with the Han people.
After Shamoko was escorted away from Chen Gong, he continued to chew the roasted wild boar leg in front of him...
However, at three o'clock that night, Samoko tiptoed to the house where Chen Gong was guarded, and hid under the shadows.
Not long after, Chen Gong also came out noisily, saying that he wanted to relieve himself - Wuxi people usually lived in cave dwellings in winter, and only the Baihu tribe was particular about building a few wooden houses on the mountains.
As for supporting facilities... don't even think about it. If you want to relieve yourself, you can only go to the nearby woods by yourself.
The Wuxi people who were guarding him didn't pay much attention, but were impatient and asked him to go aside.
After all, there were many tribal warriors patrolling outside, and they had to pass by many inhabited cave dwellings before leaving. They didn't believe that a white-faced Han man could leave here on his own!
Seeing Chen Gong really come out to take over, Shamoko couldn't help but show excitement and expectation in his eyes, and quickly followed...
