Across the Far Mountain Tea Farmers

When Xiong Da escorted the second batch of ordnance to the mountain, he was attacked by the enemy in the middle of the night before he had time to catch his breath.The camp in the wild was withdrawn within the line of defense almost instantly.

Fortunately, the guards on the mountain never weakened, so the Xirong people did not expand their victories.

The composition of Xirong's team was similar to Xiong Da's expectation, they were all masters.But the number of people was more than he expected, and the specific number could not be estimated for the time being, but it was much more than a few hundred people.

The smile on Eunuch Cai's face disappeared, and he was not optimistic about the battle situation.Compared to quantity, there are more people in Xirong; compared to quality, Xirong is full of masters, and more of them on my side are soldiers. Their skills are better than ordinary people, but they are limited.

Xiong Da is confident: "The battle is more difficult, but it is not impossible." He has experienced countless battles, but he has always been on the side of the siege, so he naturally understands that there is a city that can be defended. How beneficial it is for one side.

Dacha Village is certainly not a city, but the fortifications are no worse than ordinary cities.Needless to say, the newly built fortress, the layout of various organs has cost the Xirong people a dozen people in a short period of time.Although it was a drop in the bucket for the Xirong people's offensive team this time, it could be regarded as temporarily suppressing the enemy's arrogance.

Not to mention the fortifications over the tea garden.

The work of the tea garden is divided into off-season and peak season.In low season there is not much to do at all.These retired soldiers have turned their brains to the fortifications one after another. Almost every time Xiong Da enters the mountain, he will discover new trends.In addition, there is Wen Lun's foot in it.He didn't know where his daughter-in-law came up with so many wonderful ideas, some of which could only be discussed on paper, but some of them were eye-catching.

The terrain of the [-]-mile mountain is complicated. Even if these Xirong people come, they will not be able to bring more logistics materials, including food, grass, and ordnance.

General Xiong analyzed the situation with Eunuch Cai, and finally said: "Even if we fight for consumption, Dacha Village can afford it!" However, it is not materials that consume the most in wars, but human lives.Everyone knows this truth, but no one mentions it.

Even after only a few days of contact, the side of Dacha Village has already paid a few lives.Hua Yong was so busy that he flew up.Fortunately, some of his apprentices can help now, and the soldiers on the mountain also know some first aid measures.Casualties were not as severe as expected.

Eunuch Cai's expression was slightly relaxed, and after a while he still sighed: "War..."

Xiong Da has confidence in his heart, but what he has to do is to kill and retreat, or even keep all these Xirong people behind, which is not easy.

He knew in his heart that if this team broke through Dacha Village, then the Xirong people would have a shortcut to bypass Longmen Pass.At that time, no matter whether it is to cooperate with the inside and outside, or to ignite gunpowder within Qi, the consequences will not be what Xiong Da wants to see.

The only thing that made him feel at ease now was that Wen Lun was at the foot of the mountain.In any case, Wen Lun was in a safe place, which made him feel at ease.Even though he was on the mountain, he knew that his wife's heart would not be at ease.

Now the whole mountain is crazy.The mountain people have lived on the mountain for a long time, and their understanding of the Xirong people has been demonized.In their eyes, the Xirong people are more terrifying than the tigers and wolves on the mountain.

But as soon as the Xirong people came, they lost more than a dozen lives in the castle tower!

More importantly, as soon as the Xirong people came, there were no tourists on the mountain!

Is spring coming soon?Fighting, who would dare to go up the mountain to spend money when spring begins?

Can making more money by bringing people to pick and fry tea?

Can you make more money by taking people for a walk in the mountains?

The mountain folk were drooling, their eyes red and their noses snorting: "Let these Xirong people survive this winter!"

The mountain people who wanted to rush out to kill the enemy were stopped by the soldiers.

In the end, it was Eunuch Cai who smashed a stone to calm them down: "We appreciate the wishes of the folks. You have more important things to do than go to battle and kill the enemy."

The last batch of ordnance has not yet been transported to the mountain.It doesn't have much impact on the battle situation in a short period of time, but there is no guarantee that there will be any accidents.All the mountain people began to learn to cut bamboo thorns under the leadership of the craftsmen.

In fact, there is no need to learn much.The so-called bamboo thorns are not the kind of bamboo sticks.Instead, pick a bamboo pole as thick as a fist, chop it into lengths, and cut both ends into bevels.It doesn't have much technical content, basically a man can do it, even a strong woman can do it.

The mountain people expressed their incomprehension about making such bamboo thorns: "Is this used for burning firewood? Can it be useful?"

Eunuch Cai weighed it in his hand, and threw it casually. With the sound of breaking wind, a stone slab was pierced through.

The faces of the mountain folk turned pale.

With a smile on his face, Eunuch Cai ordered the bamboo thorns to be transported to the fortress, ready to let the cubs of Xirong bled.

The female relatives also have jobs, preparing various foods, taking care of the wounded, and even maintaining ordnance.

The village chief took people to find Xiong Da.

Xiong Da looked inexplicably at the oil barrel handed over by the village: "What is this for?" Isn't this tea oil?Just to express my heart, I sent it to the kitchen, why did I send it to him?

The village chief bowed his back and laughed before he could speak. Feeling something was wrong, he rubbed his hands again: "So what? Mr. Zhao said, it's on fire!"

Xiong Da thought for a long time before he realized that Mr. Zhao was referring to Zhao Si, and his forehead was full of black lines.This Zhao Si asked him to tell the villagers some knowledge of the world. Is this a storyteller?Still burning!

The terrain on the mountain cannot be attacked with fire at all. If it is not placed well, it may burn itself first.General Xiong sent the oil barrel to the kitchen.

Wen Lun at the foot of the mountain also returned to Fucheng directly after Wen Jingsheng left.On the other side of Dacha Village, Xiong Da and Eunuch Cai are there, and the people of Xirong can't turn the sky, but where is Longmenguan?

At the moment when the disaster is severe, the traffic is blocked, once Longmen Pass is lost, the Xirong people can almost enter the hinterland of Qi State all the way!

Originally, when the war did not break out, it was called the military situation and could not be disclosed, so as not to confuse the people.

But the battle has already begun, and it is impossible to hide it at this time, not to mention that some people in the circle have their own news channels.

Before Wen Lun left the county, he was stopped by some former classmates.

Tanhua Lang Anlan was the one who knew the news: "I never thought that such a big event would happen when I returned home."

Wang Ning and Liu Pu are big landlords in the local area. They have nothing else at home, but they have a lot of grain: "The first batch of grain and grass is being loaded, but the road is not good now, and it is estimated time..."

The last time Wen Lun saw the three of them was at An Lan's wedding banquet, Wang Ning and Liu Pu seemed to be the same, but An Lan looked more stable.Right now is not the time to exchange pleasantries. After sorting out the situation, they will mobilize each other.

They have nothing to do with ordnance, but they can raise food and grass, and medicinal materials are also a big expense.

When Song Lin came down from the mountain to deliver the news, Wen Lun had already rushed to Fucheng, and he had to transport the last batch of supplies to the mountain.

As a result, Wen Lun received the supplies halfway, and Yao Qing was the escort.

Yao Qing seemed to grow a lot taller overnight, Wen Lun hardly recognized Yao Qing when he looked at him, and only when Yao Qing walked in did Wen Lun pat Yao Qing on the head.Well, still so short.

Yao Qing's martial arts is not weak now, and there is no obstacle to walking on the snow: "Sir, just leave these supplies to me." Needless to say, the rest is much stronger than him.However, my husband's martial arts is not good, so it's better to leave the matter of escorting the ordnance to him.

Wen Lun nodded severely: "Be careful."

"Yes, sir." Yao Qing quickly bid farewell to Wen Lun, and Wen Lun went to Fucheng.

A day later, the magistrate was directly lifted up by Wen Lun.

The strength of a person under anger cannot be underestimated, even though Zhifu is twice as big as Wen Lun, Wen Lun actually only used one hand.

The others were stunned, and Zhifu's eyes widened, he was too angry to speak: "You..."

Behind Wen Lun, several respected old people in the prefecture came in one by one: "Hehe, the magistrate took a breather and continued to discuss and study. We old fellows cherish our lives and want to live a few more years instead of sitting at home and waiting." Xirong rushed into Fucheng. Xiao Wen, you don't think too much, quickly put down the magistrate so as not to hurt your hand. The plan we discussed with the old guys still needs the seal of the magistrate."

The magistrate was so angry that his eyes turned white.Listen to what this is saying?Anjiang Mansion has tall walls and strong guards, how could it be so easy for Xi Rong to invade?Even when the Xirong University came over, the reinforcements from the imperial court would have arrived long ago!Besides, what do you mean by not hurting your hands?This guy... This guy is the wife of the general who killed the embryo and Zhennan!Don't you say you are a scholar?How could a scholar pick him up!And the yamen is an important place, why did they break in?What about the guards?

Yamen servant: Mr. Wen did a great job!

In less than half an hour, teams of people set off from Anjiang City and headed for Longmen Pass, clearing the road in sections.Among them are government servants, Min Zhuang, and even a few gangsters who gave eye drops to the teahouse back then.

Dog sledding and so on can barely be used in a big tea village.But for Longmenguan, the sled has basically no application in the local area. No matter what it is, it is justified to clear the road.

The rest of the logistical supplies followed suit one by one.After experiencing the rescue of the snow disaster, these people are also very familiar with it.

Many people are powerful.

Although the war has caused panic among the people, thanks to the efforts of all parties, the social order has not been chaotic.Many people who have the spare capacity also spontaneously organize to do some things within their capacity.

And the imperial court, which the magistrate counted on, is also in a state of desperation at this moment.

Longmen Pass was only the first battle, and the entire Northwest Frontier Pass started the war almost at the same time.The battle line was very long, and the court was a little overwhelmed for a while.
