Chapter 730: Go, go, go!
At the same time, under Xiao Yu's coercion and inducement, tribes of soldiers sent by major families arrived in Niuzhuji by boat.
Naturally, the head of the family and the person with the most influence would not take the risk personally, but the ones sent were all outstanding members of the family. It's just that the mighty boats with thousands of people and hundreds of boats look majestic, but in fact most of them are slaves and miscellaneous servants from various families. It's not that they are reluctant to send out the most elite combat forces, it's actually that the elite combat forces have already been secretly sent to assist the Shanyue people.
No matter how arrogant the Jiangnan nobles were, no matter how loudly they shouted "Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the Jiangnan nobles", they did not dare to openly have arms. That was the bottom line. Once they crossed the line, they would be openly provoking the imperial court, and no emperor would allow it.
If you can’t operate on quantity, you can only focus on quality.
The Dead Soldiers are the best among the best!
It is not easy to train such warriors. They must have good martial qualities and extremely high loyalty. Otherwise, the soldiers who have been trained with so much effort may be poached by other families and enjoy the benefits...
These soldiers are all brave and good at fighting. They can lurk and assassinate, and they can also charge in formation. Each of them has shooting skills that are not inferior to regular crossbowmen. Cultivating such soldiers requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Just like the special forces of later generations, it is naturally impossible to form a human sea tactic. Therefore, each soldier is the treasure of each major family.
There are no elite soldiers in the family anymore, so they have to use these slaves armed with hemp poles and dressed in civilian clothes to make up for their numbers...
When the mighty ships arrived at Niuzhuji, they only saw the empty Five-Tooth Battleship docked at the dock.
Looking at this behemoth, the leaders sent by the major families could not help but swallow their saliva, and they inevitably had the idea of taking it as their own. However, even if Fang Jun's life and death could be ignored, and regardless of whether the imperial court could allow private ownership of such a super battleship, the surrounding companions who were eyeing him with eager eyes would force these people to suppress their extravagant hopes.
No family can sit back and watch others own such a battleship. Even if I can’t get it, I can’t let others get it...
The leaders of several major families looked at each other across the boat, nodded in agreement, ignored the super battleship, and docked one after another. Groups of slaves and miscellaneous servants disembarked in disorder, and under the leadership of their respective family leaders, they swarmed toward the mountains and forests on the shore.
*****
For all the soldiers of the "Vanguard", there is only one thought!
quick!
Faster!
From the moment they joined the "Charge Team", these generals from the Guanzhong family were already full of beautiful longing for this group and full of grateful admiration for the commander Fang Jun!
The whole family can escape from slavery and serve as military attachés based on their merits. They will make a fortune, even if they die in battle. Their merits can be inherited by their children and grandchildren, and they will receive huge settlement allowances and pensions... This is simply a step from a slave to the sky!
Everyone is full of longing for the future life, but if Fang Jun dies in battle, the longing that has not yet come will be just longing, and the day will never come!
No!
They don't allow it!
We must not let Fang Jun die in Niuzhuji!
This is their commander-in-chief and the sustenance of their good life. He must live!
All the soldiers gritted their teeth and ran towards the mountains and forests with all their strength! As long as you cross this mountain forest, it will be a battlefield!
Even if you die, you must die on the way to a happy life!
Hundreds of soldiers ran like wolves after finding their prey. No one dared to fall behind, even if they would face death in the next moment!
At the front of the crowd are Xi Junmai and Wei Ying!
The two most loyal soldiers of Fang Jun have only one thought in their hearts at this moment - even if they die, they must fight side by side with the Marquis and bury their bones together!
Xi Junmai, who was brought back from the Western Regions by Fang Jun, would have been left to die in the desert of the Western Regions like a burden by Hou Junji's troops if it had not been for Fang Jun. He would have been left to die, letting vultures peck at his body, leaving no intact body. The soul cannot return home!
Wei Ying, who was taken away from the refugee camp by Fang Jun, was even more grateful! The Marquis not only gave him a chance to live, let him practice martial arts, study, and learn about kindness and morality, but he also brought his mother out of that hell! Now my mother lives in the farm in Lishan, with three meals a day, happiness and leisure, all of which are given by Fang Jun!
The two of them were determined to die and moved forward bravely!
When I was about to reach the edge of the mountain, I heard bursts of howling and wailing, and then I saw the branches and leaves swaying in front of me, and groups of ragged mountain people with frightened expressions came out of the mountain! Both sides were caught off guard and subconsciously stopped and looked at each other in shock...
His eyes widened for a moment, and Xi Junmai was the first to react. He swung the knife horizontally in his hand, widened his eyes, and shouted: "Go in!"
Apparently, the battle on the mountain has begun! Xi Junmai didn't have time to speculate on the situation of both sides of the battle. He only knew that he had to rush in as quickly as possible to fight side by side with the Marquis!
He stepped in front of the target and knocked down a dazed Shanyue man to the ground with the horizontal knife in his hand. Blood spattered all over Xi Junmai without caring, and then he stabbed the other Shanyue man in the stomach with a sharp knife!
The soldiers behind him also reacted, with murderous looks on their faces, waving their swords horizontally, and killed themselves among the Shanyue people!
How could a group of defeated soldiers from the mountains be a match for this group of wolf-like and tiger-like warriors? After just one encounter, most of them were killed. The remaining survivors shouted and ran wildly! It doesn’t matter east, west, north or south, as long as you can avoid the Tang army’s horizontal sword...
Xi Junmai shouted: "Don't be reluctant to fight, rush in with me and rescue the Marquis!"
Taking the lead, any Shanyue people blocking the road would chop them down with their swords and rush forward quickly!
The soldiers behind him followed closely behind!
But the further they walked into the mountains and forests, the more troops were defeated. The space in the mountains and forests is small, and there is often no way to dodge. If you are too late, you will run into the scattered Shanyue people head-on! Seeing an opening, Xi Jun kicked a Shanyue man who was hiding behind a big tree and couldn't help but look around, and kicked him to the ground. He placed the horizontal knife on the opponent's neck and asked sharply: "How is the situation on the mountain?"< br>
The Shanyue man was stunned, and suddenly shouted: "Don't kill me, we are in the same group..."
Xi Junmai was confused...
A group of people?
I'm such a dignified soldier of the Tang Dynasty, am I in the same group with you, a Shanyue rebel?
Isn't this an insult to my intelligence?
Xi Jun was so mad at this Shanyue man that he took it for granted that this Shanyue man wanted to survive, so he came up with all these reasons to fool himself. If he was fooled, wouldn't he become an eternal laughing stock?
Xi Junmai was furious: "If I don't skin you today, I will take your last name!"
With a strong force on the horizontal knife in his hand, the blood on the Shanyue man's neck started to flow, and his head was about to be dismembered. The dead souls of the Shanyue people emerged and shouted: "General, spare your life... I... I am the workman of the Marquis, I am the Marquis's man!"
Xi Junmai was suspicious, could it be true?
"How is the situation on the mountain?"
"A great victory! A great victory!" the Shanyue people shouted.
Xi Junmai's heart sank, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Since you are the Marquis's people, you should live and die together. The Shanyue people are victorious, but you are running away, how dare you say that you are the Marquis's people?"
The horizontal knife in his hand was raised, and he wanted to chop off the head of this Shanyue man, and then kill him up the mountain!
The Shanyue people were so scared that they almost peed their pants...
Wow wow shouted: "It's not the people of Shanyue who are victorious, it's the Lord Marquis who is victorious!"
Xi Junmai was stunned again and said suspiciously: "Master Hou has won a great victory, why did you run away?"
The Shanyue people cried: "I am not running away, there is a guy who is the culprit who instigated the Shanyue people to rebel. I am just trying to catch him and present him to the Marquis for credit..."
Xi Junmai didn't know whether what this man said was true or not, but he didn't kill him rashly. He put away his knife and shouted: "I'll spare your life first!" Then he strode away.
The Shanyue people had just recovered from their shock and looked around. In the mountains and forests there were Shanyue people and Tang troops. They were chasing and fleeing in a chaotic mess. Where was the shadow of the Han noble prince? All the credit is gone...
However, he was not allowed to put on a sad expression. The Tang soldiers in the mountains and forests were all like wolves and tigers, and they were all red-eyed. I couldn't explain it! If he died under the sword of a "friendly army", that would be the greatest tragedy! He rolled up and climbed to his feet, dove into the depths of the jungle, and ran for his life...
Xi Junmai charged all the way, his body dripping with blood, all sprayed by the blood of Shanyue people, his face was ferocious, like a murderer!
When his eyes lit up, he suddenly realized that he had broken out of the forest.
But the scene in front of him made Xi Junmai stunned... (End of this chapter)
