- C523 Dive over the river of watering flowers
After several clear days, the first thread of ice and snow began to melt. On this day, they gathered the returning women and the hunting men and sat around the bonfire, beginning their ‘Spring God’ sacrifice.
Hua Rong and Lu Wenlong were both dressed like local people. The only difference was that they were both wearing clothes, but the color of their faces and hands were no different from barbarians.
Just as he was getting excited, Zha He hurried back from the outside world and immediately reported to Hua Rong: “The little boys, I heard rumors from the outside world that Da Jin is going to let Young Master Song return to open seal to be the new Emperor.”
Hua Rong stood up with a “ya” sound. She naturally knew what this meant. The opportunity had finally arrived. She anxiously looked at her men, as well as the supplies and weapons sent over by the King Qin.
She suddenly whistled, and in an instant the joyous crowd was divided into two groups. The brawny men were bidding for spears with bows and daggers, and the women were retreating to one side. Lu Wenlong rode his Chinese date horse and ran over. He was already used to this kind of training that everyone would usually do, so he did not dare ask his mother for the reason. He just stood beside his mother like a little soldier holding a blade.
Hua Rong was very satisfied with this. Just as she was about to nod her head, she saw a spy rushing in, panting: “Leader, it’s bad, it’s bad, the enemy is attacking …”
He was talking about the secret passage that Jin Wushu and the others had taken the last time. Hua Rong was shocked, the secret passage had already been prepared, it was rare for anyone to know, could it be that Jin Wushu had broken his promise and tried again?
Since they had already reorganized, there was no need to be courteous anymore. Hua Rong immediately ordered the team to be split into three, Zha He and Da She led two teams, leading one team himself to the secret passage.
In the vast valley, a group of soldiers had already sunk into layers of fog and miasma. After paying almost a hundred deaths, they finally passed through the valley and were about to step into the mysterious ancient forest.
The Horseshoe was getting closer. Hua Rong and the others could see them clearly from where they were hiding by the roadside. She could not be bothered with Jin Wushu reneging on his words. Waving her hand, she saw that the barbarians had shot out numerous arrows. Golden Army in front of her screamed continuously and fell to the ground.
They were lucky enough to get the first round of sneak attacks, but there were more and more Golden Army behind them. Hua Rong looked at the surrounding ground and immediately changed her mind, ordering him to retreat towards the east. Seeing that, the Golden Army caught up.
In front of him was a large fan-shaped valley. Grass had just sprouted out, and sand and rocks were strewn all over the place. Golden Army chased after them, but discovered that the team had suddenly disappeared without a trace. They knew the wildlings had hidden themselves, but they wondered how they had managed to hide so quickly. However the leader of the team knew that there were very few barbarians. Otherwise it wouldn’t be easy to hide them. He laughed proudly and blew the horn, “Search! We must kill all of them. ”
Hua Rong looked over from behind the cliff and saw a dense crowd of Golden Army standing there, there were at least five thousand people. Her heart turned cold. How could she deal with them taking up the land and profits this time?
A savage came up and asked: “Leader, what should we do?”
Hua Rong did not hesitate at all: “Retreat south.”
He asked in shock, “There are also Golden Army s in the south.”
Hua Rong did not explain any further, but said “To the south.”
He immediately obeyed, Lu Wenlong waved his two spears and followed by his mother’s side, everyone rushing towards the south. There were about two thousand Golden Army s to the south. Just as they were suspicious, they suddenly saw a group of people attacking them, and just as they reacted, the thousand plus barbarians led by Zha He had already attacked from the side. A portion of the remaining Golden Army s were attacked from two sides and immediately became flustered. In this battle, the two thousand Golden Army were heavily injured. By the time the rest of the large army caught up to them, Hua Rong had already led the barbarians into the forest.
Although she had won, Hua Rong did not dare to let her guard down. She arranged her troops, and Zha He ran up as she said angrily: “Fourth Prince is really a villain who goes back on his word. He said that he would not attack us, and in the end he even sent an army …”
Lu Wenlong’s face flushed red: My Abba isn’t that kind of person, it definitely isn’t him.
Zha He said angrily: “Fourth Prince has always been cunning, he used us as an excuse to let his guard down, now he has come to attack with an unexpected surprise …”
Lu Wenlong clenched his fists: “Don’t say that to my Abba!”
Hua Rong stopped the two from arguing. She was carefully inspecting a Hook corpse, when she suddenly asked: “Zha He, which of the two do you think is the Golden Army’s?”
Zha He looked at the equipment inside, “This is the BoHai troops.”
The position of the BoHai troops in the Golden Army was only second to the female Genuine Soldiers, and most of them were directly under Jin Wushu’s command. Zha He said angrily: “It must be the Fourth Prince, his people!”
Although Hua Rong found it hard to believe, as matters stood, she could only try her best to cover it up. She really did not expect that Jin Wushu would actually go back on his words.
“The little boys, a year later, Fourth Prince once fought with Ye Lvdayong again. In order to eliminate Ye Lvdayong, he must first take a shortcut from us, and eliminate us …”
The best way to get to Ye Lvdayong’s lair was with King Qin’s unyielding defense. They had sneaked an attack on his tribe with only two wings, there was no need to worry about Ye Lvdayong flying away.
At this moment, a scout suddenly ran over and said in a panicked voice, “Leader, something’s wrong. Look …”
When Hua Rong saw this, her expression changed drastically. She could see that in the direction of the Da She Tribe, thick smoke was billowing. Zha He left less than 800 people there to defend, the rest were women and children.
“Quick, go back immediately.”
“But, if we go back, we will definitely die.”
“Even if he were to die, he has to go back. I can’t just stand by and watch him die. ”
Everyone was burning with anxiety, galloping while riding their horses. Far away, they could see the dense smoke rising from the Da She Tribe. It was obvious that the Golden Army was afraid of the miasma in the forest and had set the forest on fire first. Hua Rong took the lead and rushed forward, although the Golden Army was already prepared, but when the barbarians saw that their homes had been destroyed, they were enraged, every one of them extremely resentful, and attacked mercilessly. The Golden Army was in a sprint, and actually opened a gap, causing the barbarians to rush forward amidst their shouts of battle.
Seeing that everyone was rushing over to help, Da She was overjoyed. Hua Rong saw that more than half of the eight hundred Warriors had been killed and corpses were strewn all over the ground. She had a bad feeling and immediately said: “This is not a place to stay for long, we need to evacuate immediately.”
This was the first time Da She encountered such a large-scale war, and he was confused as well. “Where should we retreat to?”
“To the Flowery River.”
It was only now that Da She started to fully admire Hua Rong’s foresight. As early as New Year’s Eve, when he just received the food sent over by the King Qin, she hid all of the tribe’s supplies in the forest near Flower Lamp River. That was one of the strongholds of the Da She Tribe. At that time, Da She did not think so, but now he understood the importance of this matter. He immediately ordered all the men and women in the entire clan to move towards the direction of Flower Pouring River while Zha He was in charge of the rear.
Golden Army was wreaking havoc on the outskirts, because she was afraid of the poisonous snakes in the forest, so she did not dare to get any closer. By the second day, the watering river was in sight. Even in broad daylight, it was not so easy to burn. There were also all sorts of poisonous materials, making it impossible for the Golden Army to attack in a short period of time.
The living environment here was much worse, and the barbarians had lost the tree houses they relied on to survive. Hua Rong quickly ordered for the assignment to be done, and set up a defense. The scouts outside had already returned, and said that the Golden Army had already surrounded the shore.
For three consecutive days, the Golden Army surrounded and did not attack. This gave the barbarians time to catch their breath, and they immediately displayed the instinct to live in their lair. They quickly constructed a few simple and crude wooden houses on top of the tall trees.
After another seven or eight days, the Golden Army still did not make a move. Hua Rong did not dare relax, and kept on sending his spies out. A few days later, they finally found out what was going on. The Golden Army continued to gather some supplies and horses, but they were all covered by a thick blanket. As for what it was, even the spies did not know.
On the evening of this day, the sounds of patrolling suddenly came from the forest far away. Hua Rong led the group and snuck over. She immediately smelt a strong smell of sulfur. She climbed up a big tree and saw that on the grass along the river bank, the Golden Army s were sprinkling sulfur powder and shooting at it with rockets. Obviously they were collecting a large amount of fuel to burn this primitive forest.
Who could be so vicious?
Zha He managed to grab a lone Golden Army to drag him into the forest. Zha He stepped on his back, made him crawl on his knees, and shouted: “What the hell do you want?”
Golden Army was afraid of suffering, so she answered honestly: “We found a lot of sulphur, we want to burn this forest.”
Hua Rong said angrily: “Who are your generals?”
“The little people are under the command of the Fourth Prince.”
Hua Rong’s face froze: “Really?”
“This little one does not dare to have the slightest expiration. Although I am part of the BoHai army, I have always been an elite of the Fourth Prince. ”
Zha He was furious, he kicked him and ordered him to be tied up. The little boys is indeed that despicable person. ”
Since the Golden Army wanted to establish the puppet emperor to control the north, then she must first remove all obstacles. According to Jin Wushu’s personality, he was never willing to accept failure, and it was clear that he had to take Ye Lvdayong down first no matter what.
Zha He said worriedly: “We’re trapped here, so what can we do after the food is gone?”
Golden Army obviously had this idea, when the time came, she would catch a turtle in a jar.
“The little boys, we need to ask for help.”
“Who should we call for help?”
“King Qin!”
She remembered Jin Wushu’s warning and hesitated.
“The little boys, could it be that even now you still do not believe that it’s Fourth Prince?”
Golden Army had already fought his way to the point where he didn’t know why, but he still subconsciously didn’t believe that Jin Wushu would go back on his words so quickly. Although he was dark and sinister, he was a gentleman sometimes. How could he suddenly turn hostile for no reason? Was there some sort of cunning behind this?
“The reason the King Qin sent people to deliver the fodder and weapons was to form an alliance with us.”
However, before King Qin could make a request, he wanted him to save his first. Although Hua Rong was secretly unwilling to disturb the King Qin, he had no choice but to emphasize the bigger picture. After hesitating for a while, she said, “Zha He, break out of the siege tomorrow and deliver the letter.”
“Yes.”
Zha He accepted the mission, and on the second day, he managed to break through the seal on the Golden Army and went across the river.
