The Qiang people are a nomadic and farming nation. Those who mixed with the Han people mostly settled down for farming. During the Han Dynasty, there were many Qiang tribes, including Xianling, Shaodang, Beihe, Beinan, Shenlang, Zhong, and Nu, etc., while in Yizhou

There are Yueqiang and Baima Qiang in the territory. The Yueqiang are the Qiang people living in Yueqi County, while the Baima Qiang live in Wenshan County, because most of the Qiang people in Wenshan County live in Baima County.

, so it was called Baima Qiang, and it was Baima Qiang who attacked this time.

Youjie is the leader of a small tribe in Baima Qiang. This time he led the tribe's young men to follow the generals to rebel, and looted along the way. It can be said that he gained a lot. He saw that his sons were finally able to do it with one man.

He was extremely happy to have obtained an iron weapon, not to mention dozens of pairs of leather armors and several pairs of iron armors, which made him even more elated.

He secretly thought, in this way, the power of his tribe is number one among the entire Baima Qiang. The chief must have taken a fancy to the strength of his tribe, so he allowed himself to come and capture the hilltop on the right bank of Du'anyan.

, once he succeeds, he can get more wealth, equipment, food and grass among the public when he goes back. Thinking of this, he looked at the Han army with only about a hundred people on the hillside and became full of fighting spirit. He wished he could immediately order his men to attack.

However, Youjie was the leader after all, and he was not stupid. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he did not order a strong attack. Instead, he asked the Qiang soldiers to take up positions and wait for his orders. He saw that the mountain was only about thirty feet high.

The mountain road was not too steep, so he felt relieved. Only the city wall on the mountainside made him frown slightly, but it was not a difficult obstacle. All his sons were accustomed to being warriors who could climb mountains and ridges, and the Han people wanted to stay on the mountain.

, I’m afraid I made the wrong calculation.

After Yujie finished his calculations, he immediately ordered the sword and shield soldiers in front, followed by the archers, and the remaining warriors with various weapons to follow up, hoping to capture the mountain in one fell swoop.

When Huang Xing saw the Qiang soldiers starting to attack, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to fire arrows. The mountain was not high, and they were at a high place. The Qiang soldiers were within the range of the crossbowmen almost as soon as they climbed the mountain. Most of the two dozen elite guards were with them.

He held a six-stone crossbow. This kind of crossbow is strung with the arm. The bow power is about forty-two kilograms, and the furthest range can reach one hundred and eighty-five steps. Several other people hold strong bows, and they all have strong archery skills.

Hiding in the dark, specializing in killing armored Qiang soldiers.

The Han army was condescending and fired with bows and crossbows. It was almost impossible to avoid them. Although the Qiang soldiers were blocked by rocks, trees and shields, there were still more than a dozen casualties under the first rapid fire. Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly ordered swords and shields.

The soldiers raised their shields high, and the Qiang soldiers behind quickly hid behind them. The Qiang soldiers moved forward slowly, and only the archers took the opportunity to fight back.

Although most of the Qiang shields were made of wood, they still reduced casualties. When Huang Xing saw this, he did not panic. He smiled slightly and ordered the pikemen behind the city wall to throw out the stones collected before the battle to break the Qiang shields.

Human shields. Several large rocks were pushed down by the combined efforts of several people and rolled down the narrow mountain road quickly. At this time, the Qiang's sword and shield soldiers at the front were only seven or eight feet away from the city wall. The mountain road was narrow and they could not avoid it.

When they saw this, they were so frightened that they retreated continuously. However, there were so many people from the family behind them that they could not retreat, so they had to hold on tightly to their shields to resist.

However, the huge stone rolled quickly, and the impact was so huge that only a few bang sounds were heard. The big stone hit the shield and knocked the Qiang soldiers behind them to the ground. The people were crushed and screamed, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

At this time, there was no way to form a formation, and they quickly retreated and dispersed. However, the road was narrow, and there were still many people who could not avoid being hit and bruised. A few large rocks crushed a bloody path and went straight down the mountain.

Yujie dodged a huge boulder and secretly said that it was dangerous. He looked up and saw that the soldiers were in a miserable state, with many casualties. More than half of the dozen shields had been smashed. Now that morale had dropped, he had to order the troops to retreat. But he

Knowing that there will never be too many boulders on the mountain, the Han people can roll them one more time at most. As long as they rest for a while at the foot of the mountain, reorganize their troops, they can continue to attack.

Seeing that the Qiang people retreated, Huang Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered everyone to take a rest. In fact, there were no boulders on the mountain, only some stones, so the next time the Qiang people attacked Huang Xing, it was expected to be bloody after all the arrows were used up.

They were fighting hand to hand. No one had brought much dry food, but luckily there was a water source on the mountain to replenish water and clean the wounds. Huang Xing quickly asked everyone to drink water and bandage the others.

Everyone on the top of the mountain couldn't help but feel a little relieved when they saw that the enemy had temporarily retreated. Among them, only Yang Qing had never experienced war. Even Huang Yueying and Zhuge Qiao, brothers and sisters, were used to killing in troubled times. Although Yang Qing was far away

Looking at it, the killing sounds of the two armies were loud and endless, arrows were flying, and blood and flesh were flying everywhere. The casualties could still be vaguely seen. It was the first time he saw such a real and bloody ancient battlefield. He was stunned for a long time, and his body stopped.

He couldn't help but tremble, but fortunately he was determined and endured it without getting down. Others saw him standing on the top of the mountain motionless watching the battlefield, and they all admired him for his calmness. How could they know that Yang Qing was leaving?

Because of immobility.

Fortunately, after the fighting stopped, he calmed down, moved his body, turned to Yan Hong and said: "Yan Mingting, although the soldiers have stabilized their position, we have neither food nor weapons supplies waiting on the mountain. Once the Qiang people take a long time

If we can't retreat, we will inevitably be defeated." Yan Hong frowned upon hearing this, touched his beard, and said, "This is indeed a big problem. I wonder what the master's plan is?" Yang Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I'm trapped in this.

At the top of the mountain, I don’t have any other clever ideas. The only way is to send people down the mountain to the city to get in touch. In this way, even if there are no reinforcements, it would be great to send some supplies up."

"What Mingzhi said is absolutely true." Huang Yueying agreed: "Yan Mingting has been here for a long time, so he must know the way back to the city by detouring from other peaks." Yan Hong nodded and said: "You can indeed return to the city by detouring from other peaks, I'm afraid.

I won't be able to send any help after I go back." Huang Yueying smiled bitterly and said, "That's better than waiting for me to do nothing." Yan Hong thought about this and immediately pointed out the way to one of Yang Qing's guards and asked him to go down the mountain.

Yang Qing was about to take advantage of this break to go down and check on Huang Xing and the others when he saw a green hand handing over a pot of water in a bamboo tube. He looked up and saw that it was Zhuge Guo and quickly took it. In fact, Zhuge Guo saw Yang Qing just now.

She was sweating and trembling in embarrassment. With her delicate mind and extraordinary intelligence, she immediately understood that this resourceful Yang Langjun had never been on the battlefield, so she brought him water to relieve his fatigue.

Yang Qing thanked him and hurriedly came to the mountainside city wall accompanied by a guard. The Han army suffered few casualties. Two people were seriously injured, several were slightly injured, and one person was killed. These casualties were all county soldiers, Yang Qing and his guards.

There was no damage, so the current morale of the soldiers is pretty good.

Yang Qing called Huang Xing aside and asked in a low voice: "Brother Huang, can we hold on to the next attack?" Huang Xing glanced at the enemy troops at the foot of the mountain and replied: "There is no problem today, but once it passes

The enemy has not retreated by tomorrow, and there is a lack of food and medicine on the mountain. I am afraid it will be difficult to sustain." Yang Qing said: "Yan Mingting has sent people down the mountain to ask for help. We can only survive if we persist." Huang Xing nodded, and he also thought of it.

Even if he contacted the defenders in the city, I'm afraid the city wouldn't be able to send reinforcements, but he was also a smart man, so he wouldn't say depressing words when Yang Qing was encouraging him, because it would be useless, so he might as well keep his identity.

Hold on to the belief that reinforcements will arrive.

Yang Qing also loudly told the soldiers that he had sent people to ask for help, and promised them that once the enemy troops retreated, he would personally ask for credit from the county and court for them, and also pointed out that the prime minister's wife was still there.

Looking at it. After hearing this, all the troops were in high morale and full of fighting spirit. They were all determined to show off in front of the Prime Minister’s wife and the chief secretary. Yang Qing felt a little relieved when he saw that the troops were ready. In order not to disturb Huang Xing’s command, he
