At the intersection of the metasequoia forest and the shrub forest, a dense group of reeds is covered in the middle. Acorus, water shield, and wild lotus grow very well along the shallow water.
On the lotus leaves, there were originally green water frogs resting, but with a startled scream, the water frogs screamed "cuckoo" and immediately jumped into the water.
He kicked his legs and dived, then sank to the bottom and disappeared in a moment. After a while, he surfaced again not far away, with his limbs stretched out and a head like a chicken's head floating out.
On one side of the boat, what was held up in the gaps between the wooden rafters were no longer spears, but heads with linen stuffed in their mouths.
There were people of all ages, all with frightened expressions and desperate eyes.
Through the dense reeds, I heard the shouting, and then an old man screamed "Woooo" and twisted his body crazily, but his head was stuck in the gap of the wooden frame, but he could not move.
In the reeds, there was a young man holding a long bow with tears in his eyes. Seeing the increasingly difficult situation of the old man on the boat, he burst into tears.
"dad"
Someone cried, and soon after, sobbing came from the bushes. Soon, the entire metasequoia forest was echoing with the sound of painful cries.
"Huai Shui Bo has an order"
A local wealthy man with the surname Chao, who lives in Chao Yi, was wrapped in armor. He was cautious and a little arrogant. He took the "Dou Daosheng Gong" and shouted at the reed swamp: "Only the first culprit will be punished! The rest will be lenient."
Chao's dialect is Yihu dialect. People from Chu and Wu can understand one or two words, but to put it into a sentence, you have to combine the context, expressions and body language to understand.
Fortunately, Juchaoyi still belongs to a civilized society, and those unlucky ones with the surname Chao finally found a stage to play their role.
Being a "translator" in Huainan is obviously a promising career.
Moreover, people with the surname of Yan Chao also discussed within their own family that as long as they worked for Li Jie honestly, they might be able to move from an ordinary "translator" to a "fat translator".
After hearing Chao's shout, there was obviously a dispute in the metasequoia forest.
The captains on each small boat suddenly sneered. The military morale was unstable, and the Yihu people were really vulnerable.
The weapons and equipment of the Yihu people are also extremely backward, but even if they are backward, arrow clusters of bones and stones can still kill people.
Even if you don't have an ox-horn bow, if you burn bamboo and stack it a few layers, the bow power will still be enough.
Once it's worn out, it can be fired again. From the Huai River to the Yangtze River, the most worry-free thing is bamboo. It's everywhere, everywhere, inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
"The Second Squadron has already taken the retreat. These Yihu people have become a deadly enemy and have nowhere to escape. It's better to just rush in and kill them."
"Shou Li said, reduce unnecessary losses."
"It seems that we can only wait until we attack the Chu State to have a happy fight."
"Why do you always think about fighting and killing?"
"One new addition last month."
"Congratulations."
"Sigh... If we don't take advantage of the weakness of the enemy in Huainan to make a quick contribution, it would be uneconomical to attack Chu if we die."
The two crocodile captains were chatting in a strange Yinxiang dialect in the boat.
Their way of speaking is becoming more and more like Li Jie's. When communicating with former fellow villagers, they will also have a very abrupt sense of dislocation.
In fact, among the twenty warriors in the boat, except for the team leader who was a crocodile, the rest were just four brave men, six righteous men, and eight righteous followers.
Only Yongfu could understand a little bit of what the two captains were saying. The origins of the new righteous soldiers were relatively complicated. It was unrealistic to be able to understand such a weird dialect in a short time.
The boat trying to persuade them to surrender kept a dozen steps away from the shore, and they were not afraid of the enemy's sharp archers, because the soldiers behind the wooden pillars were all temporarily put on iron armor, and their barrel-shaped helmets were also buckled on their heads.
In the hole, he watched what was happening on the shore.
The "exploring boat" has already figured out the surrounding situation clearly. The entire metasequoia forest now looks like an isolated island. There is just such a small island hidden here in a body of water.
In fact, this is not the case. The water level is currently high, which is why the metasequoia forest, where the shrubbery is located, looks like an isolated island.
After a little digging, the "exploring boat" discovered that there was a flooded earthen dam directly connected to the mounds in the southeast direction.
As long as you pass this earth dam, you will reach a hilly area past the mounds. After passing through a plain with dense zepis, you will enter a flat land.
Traces of Dongfeishui can still be found there, but now they are isolated by the military station in Huaizhong City. As long as the Yihu people show up, they will be overtaken by chariots and die cleanly.
My interaction with the security forces in Huaizhong City has not been long, but I left a deep impression on them. As long as they are overtaken, entangled, and stuck, there is only one way to be annihilated, and there is no other outcome.
There is no such thing as a defeat war.
"Why did it take so long to persuade us to surrender?"
"These Yihu people are really good at running. Hey, they even want to use their water skills to get around us."
While talking, a team leader seemed to have remembered something and took out a piece of stuff wrapped in lotus leaves from his arms. After opening it, it was a square square, a big square made up of a bunch of small squares.
"Eat something first."
Soldiers can also carry dry food, but it is always rationed, while officers can also carry dried meat and special emergency rations.
This kind of thing, which is mixed with a lot of fat, flour, bran, and surimi, has actually been baked very dry and doesn't look very good, but it tastes very rich in oil and salt, so you don't have to worry about losing energy and stamina.
One piece per person, which is about the size of a finger, is purely enjoyable.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, another team leader who was unpacking his water bag was startled, "The Yihu people have surrendered!"
Sure enough, someone seemed to be walking out of the metasequoia forest, and there were quite a few of them. Several large rows were standing in a group on the shore. The metasequoia trees behind them towered straight into the clouds, which made the humans in front of them look smaller and smaller.
.
"There was an internal fight?"
"Well, after a killing, you see, the heads are still fresh."
While eating, he commented on the barbarians at the front carrying bloody human heads.
"Throw all weapons and armor to the ground"
The "translator" who lived in Chaoyi once again made a sound at the right time, which was pleasant to the ear and pleasant to the ear.
The eyes of the Yihu people struggled a bit, but they quickly chose to abandon their weapons and surrender, and then they all looked sad, and some even sobbed directly there, either kneeling or lying on their stomachs, but they did not dare to stand anymore.
"Twenty steps back"
The sweet and melodious voice of the "translator" sounded again. The Yihu people gritted their teeth with hatred, but they still did as they were told.
"Trash, you should get violent and hurt people at this time!"
Among the small boats, there was a squad leader who was very disappointed. Since he knew that the person who came to attack them was Shah, one of the "Two Generals of Heng Ha", didn't he know to follow the example of "killing one person in ten steps"?
It's such a simple operation to get blood in five steps.
"Stop dreaming, hurry up and get to the shore."
Seeing the semaphore, the group of small boats began to slowly approach.
The Yihu people were startled when they discovered that there were small boats in all directions. They originally thought that there were enemies only in the front, but they never expected that there were silent small boats approaching from all directions in the entire forest.
The Yihu people felt the fighting power of these security forces in Huaizhong City very deeply. Even if only people from a boat landed, it would be difficult for them to escape.
In the past, some tribes among the Yihu people also dreamed of trapping the Wu people to death by getting familiar with the terrain and waters, and then relying on their excellent water skills.
But I never expected that the Wu people not only did not get lost, but also made a lot of landmarks in this swamp and wetland.
What's even more disgusting is that some of the Wu people who came this time, in addition to their superior fighting ability, are also unimaginably good at water.
How do the Yihu people know that in order to make a living, the "Baisha" savages have to swim in the rivers and seas since childhood? They either fall into the water early and drown, are bitten to death by crocodiles, or grow wildly, and then have excellent water properties. After entering the water, they dare not
There is absolutely no problem in saying that there are white stripes in the waves and black fish in the waves.
"It's so boring."
Shaking his head in disappointment, Shaha on the "flagship" put down the telescope, "Jun Yunzhen, most of the local Yihu people should not survive."
"Thank you, Lao Zhongha. Next, it depends on me."
The commander-in-chief of this southern crossing and the encirclement and suppression of the Yihu people was Shaha, but the person in charge of the restoration of the functions of the Huainan city was Yun Zhenlu, a doctor from Yuanzhou.
This time Yun Zhenlu took the position of "Special Commissioner to Huainan" of the Huaishui Bo Mansion. His rank is probably equivalent to the original Juchaoyi doctor of the Chu State, but his responsibilities are simpler, and he only needs to be responsible for internal affairs, military and security.
