Chapter 2424 Fortunately
Strictly speaking, the crown of King Di Ren is not that exquisite. It even looks a little crude. The only thing that can be commended is that it is made of gold as the main material. No matter how many karat gold it is, at least it looks golden. Coupled with a few colored gems, it presents a rough and bold look. Come in style.
?The pool is not big, and it is actually not that deep. The deepest point probably only reaches Yang Qianwan’s chest. While Yang Wanwan was hurriedly stepping on the water and splashing in the pool, the great wizard at the side had quietly taken two steps back and then given up his position.
Yang Wanwan didn''t notice anything unusual. Although he had always criticized this trick of so-called blessings from gods, and even stated many times that he didn''t want to be invited by the great wizard himself, but when this day came, Yang Wanwan couldn''t help but fall into Zhenxiang''s trap, and struggled forward in the pool of water with his hands and feet.
??The cave is larger, and the sound of water echoes between the stone walls, covering up some additional sounds...
I got it! 』
Yang Qianwan jumped out of the pool and grabbed the throne in a few steps. Then he forgot about the words "the sword never leaves the body" or the belief that "the sword is always there", and involuntarily opened a big smile. Smiling, he dropped the knife, picked up the crown with both hands, and eagerly put it on his head.
“Ah ha ha ha ha...” Yang Qianwan stretched out his arms, “I am the king of Di people! 』
Yang Qianqian''s laughter echoed in the cave. He turned around and prepared to sit down on the stone seat while preparing to receive the worship from the great wizard. He even thought about how to reflect his majesty and magnanimity. First, he must scold him severely, and then forgive the great wizard for his previous rude behavior...
But when he turned his head, he found that at some point, three or four figures appeared in front of the great wizard. These people did not kneel down on the ground and cheer for his ascension as he imagined, but Staring at him with cold eyes!
Things happened very suddenly. When Yang Qianwan''s eyes fell on the crossbows in the hands of these people, his smile just stiffened when he heard the sound of the hanging knife being buckled. Immediately, the crossbow string vibrated and the crossbow bolts fired. And out!
??The crossbow arrow passed through the small pool of water and plunged directly into Yang Wanwan''s body!
Unlike the villains in TV movies, Yang Wanwan couldn''t even let out a single fart. He was hit by two crossbow bolts almost at the same time. He was knocked backwards by the crossbow bolts and died, with blood spraying out. When it came out, the originally colorful stone pedestal was dyed with a new bright red color.
?The great wizard in the shadow lowered his eyelids, looked at the crossbow in Hu Du''s hand, and sighed inaudibly. The great wizard knew Yang Wanwan''s martial prowess. Normally, if it were a face-to-face fight, Yang Wanwan could fight three or five people by himself. However, the Han people had no intention of fighting Yang Wanwan head-on...
Just like the development speed of the Han people in recent years, they are not on the same track at all!
Hu Du motioned to his men to drag Yang Wanwan’s body over, and said to the great wizard, “Great wizard, do you need us to accompany you out?” 』
The great wizard''s face was still hidden in the darkness. He was silent for a while before saying: "No need..."
For this cave, there are several entrances and exits for people to pass through, and there are as many places for hiding. Naturally, no one is more familiar with it than the Di Ren wizard. Let alone Yang Wanwan coming in alone, even if he even has two or three people, The famous guards were also brought in, and they may not be the opponents of Hu Du and others who were hiding in the dark, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Hu Du''s men crossed the pond, arrived at Yang Wanwan''s body, stepped on his body, then pulled out the two crossbow bolts from Yang Wanwan''s body, and then tied the rope around Yang Wanwan''s body. On the corpse, another rope was tied to the blood-stained crossbow arrow, and was thrown across the pool as a weight.
??The other two people found the end of the rope on the other side of the pool and dragged Yang Wanwan''s body over.
??The Han soldiers on the other side of the pool looked around, picked up the crown and Yang Wanwan''s saber that fell on the ground, then returned, and worked together to push the corpse to the opposite side.
?The blood spread out in the pool, and the light and shadow seemed to dye the entire cave with a layer of bright red gauze...
Hu Du took the crown from his men, looked at the newly added knock marks on it, and handed it to the great wizard with an expressionless face. He then handed over Yang Wanwan''s saber, and finally nodded slightly. He nodded and without further ado, he led his men into the shadows and retreated back the way they came.
When the great wizard heard the voices of Hu Du and others fading away, he took two steps forward and stood in front of Yang Wan Wan''s body.
The great wizard is not young anymore. He has seen too many Di people die in front of him, including men, women and children. But this time, when he stared at Yang Wanwan''s corpse, his face still couldn''t help but twitch. Down.
"God will not bless an arrogant person..."
"God protects all, not favors one..."
『God tells us that those who desert God should be punished...』
While the great wizard was muttering, he slowly pulled out the saber that originally belonged to Yang Wanwan, raised it high, and flashed it down in the swaying light of the fire!
The struggle between Di people''s divine power and royal power lasted for more than a day or two. With the development of the population, it is not uncommon for tribal villages far away from the Di people''s holy land to not even have a wizard. There has never been love or hate for no reason in this world. Even if the great wizard doesn''t plot against Yang Wanwan this time, he might plot against Li Wanwan or some other guy...
It’s just that this time, the Han people fortunately gave the great wizard a more “honest” reason.
If Yang Wanwan was able to open up the situation in Xiabian before, then the great wizard might consider another way to do this. However, since the Di people were defeated in Xiabian, and Yang Wanwan did not care whether the other commanders were alive or dead, Wantonly annexing tribes and forcibly bringing other tribes under his own rule made the great wizard feel an imminent crisis.
??What if one day, instead of leading people to the Han people, Yang Wanwan pointed a knife and gun at his own head?
As a great wizard of the Di people, he deeply knows what the "power" of those gods is. When the sword and gun are really in front of him, the so-called "protection of the gods" cannot make him invulnerable or bring him back to life. .
Yang Wanwan continued to encourage and even coerced other Di tribes to raise troops and make enemies of the Han people, but facts have proven that this is an irrational decision. The great wizard even felt that Yang Wanwan might have some mental problems. problem, so there are some crazy behaviors.
After all, even a small Xiabian cannot be conquered by Yang Wanwan, Wang Gui and others together, not to mention that the land of the Han people is not just a place of Xiabian! The Han people are far from being as vulnerable as Yang Wanwan claimed before.
?At present, the Han people have found the Holy Land of the Di people. Although there are not many Han people coming now, if the Han people really want to take revenge, it means that the Han army may attack next time!
Even if the great wizard and others can escape deeper into the mountains, the Di people cannot escape this sacred land. If it is destroyed in a military disaster, the great wizard will never accept it...
Even if it is rebuilt in the future, it will lose its original meaning, just like the Han people destroyed the idol of Yelang Kingdom before. After the idol was smashed, even if some Yelang people survived, there is still What Yelang country? How can people believe that a **** who cannot even protect his own holy land can continue to protect his people?
??The great wizard felt that the Di people''s only choice now was to change their strategy, return to the mountains and forests, and stop fighting with the Han people to rest. The biggest obstacle to this change in strategy is Yang Wanwan.
Therefore, with the cooperation of the great wizard, a plan to assassinate Yang Wanwan and restore peace to the Di tribe with less bloodshed and sacrifice was naturally born, and was successfully executed.
Under the light of the torch, the great wizard cut off Yang Wanwan''s head, then held the **** head in one hand and headed towards the direction where he originally came in.
?Several Yang Wanwan''s guards at the entrance of the cave were shocked. Before they could react and pounce, they were attacked from behind. The guards belonging to Wu Zhu in the surrounding area were already holding weapons and surrounding them, and then they all raised their blood-stained swords and guns...
?Under the light of the torch, these shadows swayed, forming some ferocious shapes on the stone wall.
?Those swords and guns brought up blood and splashed it all around.
??When the screams and angry shouts gradually subsided, the great wizard raised Yang Qian Qian''s head high and said, "God said! Godless! Be punished! 』
The sound echoed in the mountains and forests, and then gradually disappeared without a trace...
??Just when the great wizard was designing Yang Wanwan, Zhuge Liang, who was in Jiandi, was also using his own methods to attack the Di tribes staying around Jiandi. The Di people did not make any big moves for many days, which attracted Zhuge Liang''s attention. He immediately captured several Di people''s tongues and learned that Yang Wanwan had left the camp, leaving only a part of the Di people to stick here.
? Zhuge Liang immediately thought of the previous arrangements and realized that now was an excellent opportunity.
?Yang Wan Wan is not here. As long as a small part is defeated, no one can stop the subsequent disintegration of the Di people!
?The moon came out relatively late this night, and the night sky was filled with starlight.
Under a little starlight, a group of soldiers secretly descended from the city wall of Di Di and moved towards the mountain camp where the Di people were stationed.
When Zhuge Liang decided to attack at night, he encountered some opposition. These people thought that he might be ambushed by the Di people like last time, and since he could hold on now, he could just hold on, why bother going out of the city? risk?
But Zhuge Liang finally convinced these people. Although there was no direct connection between Zhuge Liang and Fei Yi, Zhuge Liang felt that since there was an opportunity to put more pressure on Di Ren, and it was not a desperate counterattack, why not try it? Give it a try?
What''s more, the wind happens to be southerly today...
What''s more, after the repeated attacks were frustrated, the morale of the Di people was inevitably weakened, and some slackness also occurred. It was a good opportunity for a sneak attack.
??In a night attack, it is of course impossible to march with a swagger while holding a torch, so Wu Ban and others can only move forward by starlight. Everyone wore a black cloth robe outside the armor, and the blades of the swords and guns were either wrapped with strips of cloth or covered with bags to prevent unnecessary reflection and arouse alertness.
The entire alignment formed an irregular diamond shape, with fewer people in the front and more people in the middle. On the one hand, it can prevent the detection of enemies, and on the other hand, it can also be easily transformed into several other fighting forms. Walking in front were veteran scouts, who were responsible for serving as the vanguard and guide of the entire army.
The camps of the Di people are not exactly close to the county town of Mei Di, but are spread out in the mountains and forests relatively far back. There are some sentries of the Di people near the county town of Mei Di. They were said to be sentry posts, but in fact they didn''t have the vigilance of sentry posts at all, and they didn''t even look like them at all. When the Han army''s scouts touched them, most of these intimidating sentries were sleeping and died in their sleep.
Even though some of them were still alert, when these guys discovered the Han soldiers, they subconsciously just wanted to shout and didn''t even have time to use warning objects...
??And in the mountains and forests, the occasional roar of wild beasts and the croaking of crows were heard, but even these intimidating screams failed to attract more people''s attention.
After passing the more dangerous area in the first section, Wu Ban and others gradually approached the Di camp. Perhaps the Di people felt that there were already sentry posts in front, so they slept peacefully in the back. The Han soldiers only needed to be careful not to step into any hollows and fall into the mountain stream. Generally speaking, it was relatively safe.
?After a while, the front scout turned back and found Wu Ban, saying that he had discovered the camp where the Di people were stationed. Unlike most people who choose to camp on flat land, the Di people camp among mountains and forests. The Di people were accustomed to living in mountains and forests, so they also chose some woodlands when they camped. They would select some areas, burn the ground with bonfires to drive away insects, and then build simple shacks.
The gate of the camp or some kind of wall?
It doesn''t exist, not even an ordinary fence...
In the quiet night, there are only the sounds of various insects in the forest, and the mist like white gauze lingers around the feet, making the forest become like a fantasy.
Some trees in the middle of the woods were cut down and turned into supports or part of a bonfire. Wu Ban, who saw the pattern of these Di camps for the first time, couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to signal...
This situation is believed to make people with selection syndrome very painful.
In a general camp, it is already very good to be able to break one or two breaches, and then continue to attack inward along this breach until the order of the entire camp is destroyed. However, the current "camp" where the Di people are temporarily stationed is simply There are gaps everywhere!
Just like if there is only one parking space in a parking lot, then most of the parking space will be square and the distance is just right. However, if you encounter a large area that is empty, you will not know how to park, and even if you park, you will find yourself The car is crooked...
?There was a scream from the front, followed by several dull sounds, and then the scream stopped.
Several Di people on duty may have been awakened by the sound. They stood up hesitantly from the edge of the bonfire and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound...
"superior! Wu Ban shouted, "Attack!" 』
??Wu Ban took the lead to attack forward. He knew that the previous screams might be that the scouts encountered Di people as they continued to move forward from the two wings. This is also difficult to avoid. After all, once you enter the Di camp, the density of Di people will be even greater. No one can predict where and what things will happen.
Di people who were standing by the bonfire saw Wu Ban and others running out of the darkness. They stayed for a moment, then turned around and ran away while howling...
When Wu Ban saw this, he was so angry and funny. I really want to remind you, is the gong you placed next to the bonfire just used as a barbecue plate?
The soldiers of the Han army rushed to the bonfire, picked up the remaining pieces of wood from the bonfire, and threw them into the simple shacks built by the Di people!
?Most shacks are relatively humid and are not easily ignited directly, but more black smoke comes out. The firelight was cut into fine parts by the shadows of the trees in the forest, and the shouts also collided back and forth on the tree trunks, making it difficult to distinguish the specific direction from which the shouts came.
?These Di people at the edge of the camp discovered the incoming Han soldiers, but most of the Di people were the same as those who were on duty in front of the campfire. The first choice was not to fight back and resist, but to escape...
The scene was extremely chaotic.
?Di people who had no training at all were panicked by the sudden blow, and many people were awakened from their sleep. Like a fly that rubbed its head off, it was scurrying around. The swaying light and shadow in the forest and the screams that were difficult to identify in the direction aggravated their panic, causing more Di people to involuntarily join the ranks of people shouting and running around in panic.
??Wu Ban roared, pushing the chaos forward to spread, and ordered the soldiers to light the torches they carried on the bonfire, and then throw them deeper into the place where the Di people gathered. The flames gradually increased, and the light in the forest seemed to gradually turn red, as if the forest was beginning to bleed...
??Wu Ban has only chopped down one Di man so far, and there is not even blood on his body. Most of the Han soldiers around him were like this. The Di people collapsed so quickly that there was no direct battle between Wu Ban and others.
??A gust of wind blew in with thick smoke, choking Wu Ban and coughing twice.
"It''s broken..." Wu Ban shouted while coughing, "Blow the whistle!" Ahem...retreat! Retreat! 』
Beep! Beep beep…』
A sharp whistle sounded, and then spread out. The middle and lower-level soldiers who carried whistles all took out their whistles and repeated the orders while retreating.
??A sharp whistle sounded in the forest. The Han soldiers roared at the panicked Di people, waved their swords and guns in a final threatening gesture, and then gradually withdrew from the battlefield. Although there were no direct fruitful results or many heads captured, the fire that gradually grew in the night wind would take over Wu Ban''s next offensive momentum...
??The fire gradually increased. After Wu Ban got out of the woods, he took a few big breaths to calm down. The clothes of several Han soldiers who had fallen behind were caught on fire. Several robes rushed forward to put out the ignited fire.
? Looking back, looking at the sky that was gradually brightening due to the mountain fire, Wu Ban remembered that Zhuge Liang had repeatedly emphasized that before setting off, he could not help but shudder.
Fortunately…
