Chapter 2464 ask for dry goods
Untamed his eyes were red. He wanted to take revenge, but he didn't expect that the Wei army's crossbow was so powerful. The barbarians lost a large number of tribe members in vain without even touching the corner of the Wei army's clothes.
And the position of Nankena was also within the range of the Wei army's bow and arrow. If the leader behind him had not been quick to react and pulled Nankena back, he would have died under the Wei army's arrows.
The Wei army's arrows were too dense. Even if the barbarian soldiers were protected by armor, they could not avoid being shot through. After all, the armor worn by the barbarian soldiers would not be too exquisite, and the connection between the armor pieces would not be seamless. More importantly, the protective area of the armor was limited, such as the face and limbs, which could not be protected. Once these parts were shot, especially the head, they would definitely be dead.
Nanke's eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, but he also knew that the combat ability of the Wei army on the opposite side was not comparable to his ordinary opponents, so after suffering a round of attacks, Nanke ordered all the barbarian soldiers to retreat and rely on the defensive fortifications in the village to resist the Wei army's attack.
However, after seeing the barbarians retreat, the Wei army did not pursue the victory, but stopped shooting arrows. The Wei general, who was led, laughed and said in a distance: "If you don't want to die, come out and surrender quickly and give you an hour to consider. If you still refuse to surrender, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"
Nan Kena was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, but she was helpless. The combat effectiveness and excellent equipment of this Wei army were far superior to that of the barbarians of Yunpan Village. If Nan Ke refused to surrender, the result would be that the Wei army would attack up the mountain. It is highly likely that it would be difficult for the entire village to survive.
After all, the strength of both sides is there, and there are no reinforcements near Yunpan Village to rescue him. Most of the nearby barbarian tribes still have hatred with them, and they are eager to take advantage of the situation.
The only thing that Nan Ke could count on was Meng Ke, the commander who was hundreds of miles away.
Meng Ke was the son of the barbarian king Meng Huo. After Meng Huo was captured and repelled by Zhuge Qi, he was convinced and stopped rebelling. Later, he was appointed as the chief censor of the imperial court. After Meng Huo's death, his four sons each occupied one side, called the Northern Commander, the Eastern Commander, the Southern Commander and the Western Commander. Meng Ke was Meng Huo's third son, occupying the territory of the central and southern parts of the south, with huge power. Some small and medium-sized tribes depended on it and obeyed Meng Ke's orders. Yunpan Village was of course no exception.
If Nanke wants to ask for help, the only thing she can count on is Meng Ke. Unfortunately, Meng Ke’s camp is hundreds of miles away. Even if Nanke wants to ask for help, it will be difficult to quench her thirst.
Na Zuoling said to Ke Ke: "Master, this hero is not suffering from the loss in front of us. Why don't we pretend to surrender first, and then send someone to inform the commander of the army, and then make a decision?"
When Nanke heard that, there was only one way now. If they didn't surrender, it would be a dead end. All the people in the mountain village had to follow him to be buried with him. It would be better to surrender and surrender to the Wei army. Nanke did not believe that the Wei army would stay in Yunpan Village for a long time. As long as they left, it would be up to him to decide whether they would rebel in the future.
So Nankena sent Zuo to negotiate with the Wei army. As long as the conditions of the Wei army were not excessive, he could consider surrendering.
When the Wei army heard that he was willing to surrender, his face showed a look of contempt. He originally thought that these barbarians would be stubborn to the end. Now it seems that these guys are just cowards, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. When the Wei army just showed some of the force, these guys were already scared and pissed without any effort!
The Wei general who led the army was even more arrogant and ridiculed and ridiculed the Zuo Ling and his group who were bowing their heads. Zuo Ling and the barbarian leaders dared not speak out, and silently endured this humiliation.
The Wei general's request was also very simple, which was to plunder the food and grass from the barbarian camps to serve as military supplies.
Of course, this requirement is not surprising. The Wei army came from Jiaozhou, with bumpy roads and difficult transportation of food and grass. Therefore, after entering Nanzhong, they will definitely plunder food and grass. Every time they capture a copycat, they will plunder all the food and grass materials in the copycat.
If the barbarian tribe was willing to surrender, the Wei army would not have killed one after another, as long as they could get food and grass.
But if the barbarian tribe was not open and had to resist to the end, perhaps these Wei soldiers would not be polite. They might have killed all the barbarians in blood, and then the food and supplies were still theirs.
Of course, it is also risky to do this. After all, these barbarians are not unarmed lambs. If the Wei army is forced to do so in a hurry, they will definitely rise up and resist. If the rabbit is anxious, it will even bite people.
Therefore, it would be better for the Wei army to take down these counterfeit camps without bloodshed. At the very least, it would reduce some casualties of the Wei army.
However, when the Wei army asked for food and grass, the leader looked bitter. He told the Wei army that there was no food stored in the mountain village, and the barbarians themselves could not cultivate food. They usually ate wild animals caught in the mountains, fish and shrimps caught in the lake, and wild fruits that were now dug in the wild vegetables and picked. These things cannot be preserved. When there is no harvest, they still have to go hungry, so they have no food stored at all.
General Wei said coldly: "If you don't have this set, you will believe that you have no reserves. If you don't have food and grass, why don't you still have dried meat and fish? It's the same for you to use these to pay for food. Tell you clearly, don't let me make trouble, otherwise you won't blame the general for turning against you!"
Zuo Ling complained secretly. It seemed that the Wei army knew the situation of their parody. No wonder they knew so clearly. It seemed that it was impossible for him to get away with it.
So Zuo Ling could only report to Nankena truthfully the Wei army's request for 10,000 dried meat, 10,000 dried fish, 100 stone of dried mushrooms and other mountain products.
But when he heard that, he was furious. The dry goods asked by the Wei army were equivalent to all the reserves in the parable. These things were originally prepared for the season of famine. If they were all emptied by the Wei army, then once they encountered natural disasters and famines, wouldn’t the people in Yunpan Village starvation to starve to death?
"No, absolutely not! If they want half of them, they can discuss and move all these things away, then what's the difference between killing us? If the Wei people are so arrogant, then the handsome man vows to fight to the end!" said Nan Ke.
