The Shanyue people who were attacking continuously were startled by the roar erupting from the top of the mountain, and when they heard the slogan of "fight to the death" from the opposite side, they were all stunned.

Didn't it mean that the opponent only had two or three hundred people, but when faced with the siege of thousands of people, these people actually didn't lose their fighting spirit?

To put it bluntly, the purpose of the Shanyue people was just to kill Yang Fan.

But now we are encountering a life-and-death resistance, who is willing to throw away his life?

What's more, if you lose your life and others take the credit, who will think about your elderly and children?

The Shanyue people who were charging into the battle thought more and more, and their morale gradually declined. Many of them even moved slowly and retreated.

At this moment, a loud voice rang in my ears: "Are you worthy of being the descendants of Shanyue? You are so cowardly that you don't have to fight!"

The charging Shanyue people shuddered and turned to look at the place where the sound came from.

A majestic figure is standing on the hillside, looking at the eagle as if the devil has come to the world!

It turned out that Lei Kunming, the commander-in-chief of the Shanyue people, was supervising the battle on the hillside in the distance.

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains, and then looking at the frightened tribesmen who were afraid to move forward, some even retreated directly, Lei Kunming was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

When did my own people become so useless?

Thousands of people besieged hundreds of people. Even if one of them could drown them with just a drop of spittle, there would still be people who retreated from the battle?

Looking at the figures on the side with his peripheral vision, Lei Kunming always seemed to feel that Changsun Chong, who was wearing a bamboo hat not far away, was laughing at him.

Lei Kunming's face couldn't help but heat up, and he was furious. He whipped out the sword hanging from his waist and roared: "The Han people are weak. They can only rely on sharp weapons to resist. But there are only a few of them. How many bullets can they have?"

"Commander of our clan rushes to the front, let us use our bodies to resist the Han people's firearms. Sons of Shanyue, follow and kill!"

After saying that, Lei Kunming brandished his sword and rushed toward the ironworks with strode.

Seeing the leader looking as far as the eye could see, all the Shanyue people were infected by Lei Kunming's aura.

This is our sect commander, our leader, simply like the invincible commander given to us by God!

In an instant, the morale that had been reduced to the extreme was suddenly aroused, and everyone followed Lei Kunming's charge with blood-red eyes.

Some people even stood in front of him, willing to shoot bullets through their bodies to protect their leader!

The Shanyue people all over the mountains and plains launched their charge again, and Yang Fan's guards were a little confused for a while.

Xi Junmai was also very enthusiastic.

He didn't believe that the flesh and blood of these Shanyue people could withstand pistol fire, and he didn't believe that their morale wouldn't collapse when corpses littered the fields!

I saw Xi Junmai commanding the guards to fight and retreat, raising the horizontal sword high in his hand and shouting: "Give me alternate cover and retreat, and shoot!"

Although the charging Shanyue people continued to fall, they did not retreat at all despite the situation.

The Shanyue people have always been a group of unruly followers, and their destructive power is far greater than that of ordinary people.

Their production method is mainly based on agriculture. They grow grains but do not cultivate intensively. They have a lot of cultivated land but lack food and clothing.

And because "copper and iron are produced in the mountains", they often "cast their own armor", but there is no way to smelt it. They occupy many iron mines but can only make advanced armor.

Therefore, the Shanyue people were poor and hard-working but had little to eat. They were widely dispersed and loved freedom. They relied on the mountains and forests to form armed forces and were extremely resistant to the feudal regime.

No government can tolerate the existence of such tribes that do not obey orders.

Throughout the dynasties, officials have been targeted for extermination by the imperial court.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Quan ordered the various states to divide their troops to seize the dangerous places, divide and surround the mountains and rivers, repair and defend the offensive in various places, and not engage in confrontation.

Every time when the grain was about to ripen, he would launch an attack and force the Shanyue people to go out to beg for food or even surrender due to hunger.

After decades, Jiangdong gradually conquered the Shanyue people.

So Sun Quan selected 40,000 of them as soldiers, and the rest moved to the plains to serve as tenants.

After decades of brutal conquest, most of the Shanyue people in the south of the Yangtze River were forced out of the mountains and moved to cities and towns.

Some were used to replenish the army, and some became farmers. At this point, the mountainous terrain gradually subsided.

However, when the Jin Dynasty moved south, the nobles who went south occupied high positions in the court and suppressed the local wealthy families in Jiangdong.

Internal fights between the government and the opposition continued endlessly for power, and the court's control over remote areas was greatly weakened, and Shanyue gradually revived.

When chaos broke out at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains was in chaos, and the Jiangnan gentry were no longer able to control the mountainous areas. The mountainous areas rose again and gradually became a serious problem for the imperial court.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Liao people in Lingnan and Shanyue in Jiangdong have caused chaos several times. They can be said to be rebellious people who do not obey discipline!

These people occupy the vast fertile land of mountains and forests but do not engage in production. They only know how to make a living by looting and plundering.

Although they have survived in the mountains and forests for generations, they have no cultural heritage of their own.

Whenever the Han people were weak, they would rush out of the mountains to burn, kill and plunder.

If the Han people were strong, they would go deep into the mountains, endure hunger, and wait for opportunities.

What Yang Fan was facing at this moment was such a group of people.

In the face of the natural law of survival of the fittest, although such a tribe may be strong at times, it cannot dominate the world.

Due to natural selection, now that the Central Plains has been unified, these Shanyue people can only live in isolation.

As for the final outcome of the Shanyue people, they will either be forced to integrate into other tribes and be assimilated by other ethnic groups, or they will be lost in the deep mountains and old forests and rot with the dead trees, turning into ashes in the long river of history.

Of course, Yang Fan didn't want to die in the hands of such a group of barbarians. He responded calmly, swinging the long knife in his hand at the Shanyue people who were charging with their heads down without fear of death.

Although countless Shanyue people fell down screaming in agony, once a person's eyes were red with blood, he felt no fear at all. The people behind stepped on the corpses and charged with howls.

After all, Yang Fan's number of guards was small, while Shan Yue's number was too large.

When the Shanyue people suppressed the fear in their hearts, the muskets became much less of a deterrent to them.

Especially Lei Kunming, the commander of the Shanyue Sect who rushed to the front with a group of people, and he wielded a big sword in an airtight manner.

Obviously, this guy took advantage of the poor accuracy of the pistol and moved his body from time to time. The pistol couldn't hit him, and the bow and arrow couldn't hurt him at all!

Yang Fan swallowed his saliva, where did this person come from?

This guy is simply awesome!

If you take it for your own use, you will definitely become an unparalleled warrior!

Under his leadership, these Shanyue people charged bravely and fearlessly, approaching the ironworks step by step with piles of corpses.

This reminded Yang Fan of the tactics of later generations—human sea tactics, death squads...

The suppression by pistols and bows and arrows was ineffective, and the Shanyue people quickly passed by.

Yang Fan gritted his teeth, tore off a strip of cloth, tightly entwined his hand with the horizontal knife, and then tied a knot.

Now it seems that a physical battle is inevitable.

Now, Yang Fan only hoped that Su Ding, who was staying by the river for repairs, would discover something unusual and bring in troops to help.

Xi Junmai and Wang Xiaojie, who were beside him, both followed suit. They wrapped the horizontal sword tightly in their hands, and then guarded Yang Fan on the left and right, staring closely at the Shanyue people a dozen steps away.

Wang Xiaojie licked his lips and shouted in a low voice: "My lord, I will follow you to defeat a hundred thousand Tubo cavalry without fear at all. Now these reckless men dare to lead troops to invade. They are looking for death. If they want to face the lord directly, they will not be afraid unless they step through it."

Someone’s corpse!”

Xi Junmai was tall and tall, raised his sword eyebrows, and said with a big smile: "Back then, a certain person was shot through the body by a crossbow but he didn't die. They were just a group of ignorant mobs. They could only rely on the number of people and the continuous filling of lives."

To be able to rush to us is simply a lot of credit. Brothers, join us in killing the thief and making meritorious deeds. Get ready!"

Zhai Changsun was obviously much calmer than the two young men. He calmly ordered the guards and archers to put down their bows and arrows, all picked up their swords, and lined up in front of Yang Fan.

The charge of the Shanyue people also stopped. These people approached step by step with destructive eyes and thunderous footsteps. The two sides were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat!

"Vigorous..."

For a moment, the shouts were loud and the two parties strangled each other.

While the killings here are inextricably linked, the river in the distance is extremely quiet.

The river wind was biting and the river was turbulent. Huge warships galloped down the wind and headed straight for Su Dingfang's fleet.

Zhang Liang, as the general manager of the annihilation of Shanyue, had the power to mobilize the government troops and Jiangnan Navy.

At this time, Jiang Chang, the deputy general of the navy, looked majestic in his armor, with his hand on his waist and a sword across his waist, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at the rows of warships in the distance.

Guard Wang Liang stood beside him, looking a little worried: "General, is this inappropriate? After all, this is the governor's fleet. We are attacking for no reason. If this news is leaked, the emperor will be furious, and the court will also be angry.

If we get to the bottom of it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the general to stay out of the matter. Please think twice, general."

Jiang Chang's eyes narrowed, and he sighed slightly in his heart. He was a little helpless, but he said: "We are all the first-class combat power of the imperial navy. Facing a fleet composed of a group of guards, we will definitely defeat it in one fell swoop! As long as we kill everyone

Kill them all and burn all the warships on the spot. Who will know that we did it?"

Wang Liang remained silent. As a member of a poor family who was single-handedly promoted by Jiang Chang, Wang Liang obeyed Jiang Chang's words.

He knew very well that Jiang Chang was making a desperate move.

Since Jiang Chang was Zhang Liang's adopted son, the Jiang family's current status was precisely because they embraced Zhang Liang and the Jiangnan noble family, which allowed the Jiang family to occupy a place in Jiangnan.

Wang Liang came from a poor family, and he didn't quite understand Jiang Bu's idea of ​​risking his own life to revitalize his family.

In his view, only when people are alive can there be hope!

If everyone dies, what will happen to the family no matter how strong it is?
To be continued...
