"I've watched it all, there can't be any mistakes." A small Baiyue leader stood next to the granary and lectured loudly.
The drums outside were getting louder and louder, and the Han army was forming up to attack the city. People in the city were also in panic, and the whole street was deserted.
Yulin County was originally an important town in the west of Lingnan, and as Baiyue was driven to the west by Madam Xian and the rest of the Lingnan tribes, Yulin County became the only window for Baiyue to communicate with the outside world. Merchants from all over the country purchased mountain goods.
Via Yulim County.
After all, Baiyue is a mountain people, and mountains and forests are where they really live. If it weren't for the fact that they could buy goods from all over the city built by the Han people, they would certainly not want it. Baiyue occupies the west of Yulin County, and is at peace with the Han people and the various tribes in Lingnan.
It's okay, it's also a tacit understanding that has existed for many years.
However, with the defeat of Nanchen in Yanguan and the new Han people entering Lingnan, Baiyue still expected to maintain its original appearance, which was naturally impossible. Li Xingchen was not Chen Shubao. For a real dragon, how could he allow others to snore on the side of the couch?
?
Therefore, before Baiyue could retreat westward into the mountains and forests, Xiao Shilian's army had already surrounded him. It can be said that Baiyue was caught off guard this time, but everyone in Yulin County still had to defend the city. If this only window was also blocked
If it is closed, the Baiyue people will really have no choice but to wait for death in the mountains and forests.
People are all greedy. If they are used to the subsistence life of farming, who would want to go to the mountains and forests to hang out with birds and beasts?
But can this city... be defended?
The little leader had a bit of worry on his face. The Han people outside the city were said to have fought all the way from Bashu. They were so devastated that they felt like they were in an uninhabited land. No matter how hard they looked at Baiyue, who was not good at defending the city, they were no match for them.
Moreover, the city is a mixed bag due to the exchanges of merchants from various places. Who knows whether spies will take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble. The Han people are the most cunning!
The little boss looked around with increasing vigilance. The granary was of course the most important place in the city, but nothing unexpected could happen.
At this moment, a column of black smoke suddenly rose not far away.
The little leader was startled for a moment, and a soldier ran over anxiously: "Oh no, the temple is flooded! Go and put out the fire!"
"What?!" The soldiers suddenly panicked.
Temple?
The origin of Baiyue is very complicated, and there has been no conclusion for a long time. However, Baiyue has maintained the same divination habits as ancient China for a long time. However, ancient China used tortoise shells or ox bones, while Baiyue generally uses divination.
Chicken bones. The temple is not a place dedicated to gods, but a place for tribal divination and the most sacred place.
Now that the temple is in trouble, the soldiers are naturally in disarray.
And when the little boss gritted his teeth, could it be that the enemy's spies were causing trouble?
Although the temple is important, it is actually insignificant in this battle to defend the city. Burning the temple may only make the soldiers more hostile to the enemy, so what is the enemy's purpose? Is it to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
The little leader was also a little panicked for a while. If it was really to move the people closest to the temple away and then burn the food and grass, then he would really be punished!
"It's gone, it's gone!" The streets are already in chaos. There are many people coming and going in Yulin County, and there are many merchants in the inn. If you don't really trust these people, you would have driven them away long ago.
Go to the top of the city and become a strong man.
Fortunately, these guys were quite honest and huddled in the inn without doing anything.
Now that the leak is imminent, these guys naturally can't sit still.
The little boss was also panicked at this time. The temple was saved, but here...
"The temple cannot be burned. Let's go and put out the fire!" Several soldiers said anxiously, running quickly towards the direction of the temple.
The little leader was startled, these guys are going to rebel! But this is also expected, Baiyue is named "Baiyue", which is actually very consistent with the name. Hundreds of village owners and cave owners jointly
This ethnic group has a very complex origin and composition, which often leads to dissatisfaction and even mutual criticism between various mountaintops.
In this Yulin County city, there were originally people from all three religions and nine schools. In order to facilitate management, the Baiyue soldiers were mixed and mixed and imitated the army style of the Central Plains, and set up big and small bosses for management. However, they ignored one problem. Even in the
When a strong enemy is pressing on the situation, there are some basic contradictions that cannot be reconciled at all. For example, now, these soldiers who were originally dissatisfied with the small boss did not care about the small boss's order. In their view, rescuing the temple was right.
"Killing!" At this moment, a shout sounded again.
The chaotic streets, which were already crowded with people, became even more chaotic.
The little leader stamped his feet, and led his men to separate the crowd and rush forward. A corpse was placed in the middle of the street, and the people around him fled in all directions. This man was the one who rushed towards the temple rashly just now.
One of the soldiers.
Although the little boss wanted to applaud in his heart, he still looked around cautiously. Killing people showed that the temple's breach was really not an accident, but an enemy's spies were causing trouble. And they killed people to create greater chaos.
"It's gone wrong, the government office is gone!"
At this time, a plume of black smoke also rose from the government office not far away, and the whole street was once again in chaos. The little boss stood among the running and crying people, and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. This Yulin County
After all, it was just an isolated city. With the Han army pressing down on the territory, the fear and fear deep in the hearts of the people had accumulated too much. At this time, it finally erupted like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable.
Perhaps the Baiyue people do not belong to this land suitable for farming, and the mountains are their destination. The little leader looked at the rising smoke column and remained silent.
At this time, behind the government office not far away, there were several baskets in an inconspicuous corner. Cha Bao was hiding behind the baskets. What was surprising was that Gao Feng, who was much taller than him, could actually
Hide here.
The enemy was not defenseless in the city. After the fire broke out in the government office, the surrounding soldiers began to search for the enemy's scouts. However, they never expected that these two bold guys actually did not leave at all, but were hiding in the city.
In this corner, separated from the government office by a wall, teams kept running past, but no one laid eyes on it. In their opinion, the enemy's spies must have been rushing to the next place to set fire.
When the surroundings calmed down completely, Cha Bao whispered: "It's dark under the lamp, you can do it."
"A little trick." Gao Feng laughed, "We just set off two fires, will it not have any effect?"
Cha Bao pricked up his ears: "Listen to the sounds outside, they are already in chaos." (To be continued)
