General Qin

In the endless mountains, there are dense forests and towering ancient trees. Even in the daytime, it is dim and dark under the shade of the trees, and it is difficult to see the sky.

The sun is setting in the west, gradually becoming dusk.

King Alamo of Xiou walked in the forest with a cold face until he reached the end of the forest.

This is a towering cliff.

He stood on the boulder on the top of the mountain and looked at the vast land below the mountain in the distance.

"Our home."

Alamo whispered.

That land was once the Ou people's rice fields.

Now there is a crop called winter wheat, which was brought by the Qin people.

Alamo's eyes moved.

Near the farmland, there is a village of Ou people, which was once full of joy and beauty.

But as countless Qin troops launched attacks against them from the east and north, everything came to an end.

Alamo ordered all tribesmen to retreat and avoid the direction of the Qin army.

The Ou people hurriedly harvested the rice in the fields, took the food stored at home and everything they could carry, supported the old and the young, and climbed into the mountains to the west.

The reason for this was that they knew very well how powerful the Qin army was.

The Qin people's weapons were sharper than during the first invasion, and they also mastered strange weapons to restrain Luo Yue's war elephants. After just one confrontation, King Luo and A Tu Gu were frightened and fled south in panic.

The powerful Minyue and Nanyue were captured by the Qin people, and Dong Ou surrendered on its own initiative. How could the dilapidated Xi Ou resist the Qin army?

The great witch received a sign from the Frog God that the Ou people would be destroyed, which intensified their fear.

When the results of the divination were revealed to the elders of several clans, they all held their own opinions.

Youdu Lao said that they might not have to resist the Qin army, surrender like the Nanyue tribes and Minyue, and become the subjects of the Qin people, so that the Ou people's race could be continued.

"Surrender to the Qin people? Have you forgotten how Agus died? Have you forgotten how Yi Xusong died?"

"Qin people, can you believe it?"

"Can we forget the hatred between us and the Qin people?"

Immediately, others refuted it and asked various questions.

The voices of the capitulationists died down, and they could not refute.

During the Qin army's southern expedition this time, the Minyue king Zou Wuzhu died, and the Nanyue king Agus also died.

The Qin people destroyed the two Yue kingdoms, and the Yue king would not survive.

Especially King Agus of South Vietnam. Ou people heard that he had his lower body cut off by the Qin people, his nose and legs were chopped off, and finally he was chopped into meat paste with random knives. His death was extremely horrific, which frightened many people. .

In addition, the previous king of Xiou, Yi Xusong, was killed because he fell into the Qin people's trick.

Over time, the image of the Qin people in the hearts of the Ou people is that of greed, cruelty, treachery, and cannot be trusted.

Coupled with the hatred left over from the past few years of fighting against each other, the road to surrender was blocked.

Some people suggested abandoning their homeland and seeking refuge with Luo Yue.

There are also objections.

The Yue people were not peaceful. Before the arrival of the Qin army, there were still various conflicts between the country's tribes.

Xiou and Luo Yue had several fights with each other because of the competition between their tribesmen for prey.

Once the Ou people abandon their homes and go south to join Luo Yue, they will need to rely on the other party's supply of food, and they will most likely become Luo Yue's vassals or even slaves. And even if they surrender to Luo Yue, they still won't be able to escape when the Qin people go south.

In the end, King Alamo of Xiou made a decision. The tribesmen fled into the mountains and forests, using the cover of the mountains to avoid the Qin army. In these vast mountains, the Qin people could not do anything to them.

They can do what they did during the first Qin-Yue War, waiting for the Qin army to become arrogant, abandon the Ou people, and attack Luo Yue in the south, so that the Ou people can attack from behind and repeat the victory of the first war. .

The decision was made, but when the people of Ou evacuated their homes, the old witch of Xi Ou was unwilling to leave.

"I am already old, and I don't want to abandon this land where my ancestors have lived for generations, and I don't want our tribe to perish. I will use my life to curse them. I will curse all the Qin people who enter this land to rot into mud forever. Die here!"

The Great Witch of Western Europe summoned dozens of elders from the clan who were willing to die.

At the place where they worshiped the gods, they swallowed the poisonous divine frogs, and uttered the most vicious curse in the world amidst the croaking sounds.

Alamo wiped away his tears and left with the remaining tribesmen.

They did not burn down the house because they believed that the curse of the great witch would cause heavy losses to the Qin people, and sooner or later they would be able to regain their lost home.

However, a long time has passed since the Qin army captured the King's City of Xi'ou. The Ou warriors who ventured out to investigate came back and reported that there were no major changes in the Qin army. They were still large in number and well-organized, making people afraid to approach easily. .

At the same time, during this period, the Qin army divided its troops in various places in an orderly manner and occupied several large settlements of the Xiou tribe.

These foreign invaders built fortress walls in the Ou people's villages, reclaimed the Ou people's farmland, and planted Qin people's unique winter wheat, as if they would take root here for a long time.

The witch's curse didn't work, which frightened Alamo and several others.

The people of Qin could actually block the curse issued by the great witch with their lives!

Did the Frog God really abandon his people?

What alarmed Alamo even more than the expiration of the curse was that the Qin army did not enter the mountains to pursue the Ou people as he predicted, nor did they make any move to attack Luo Yue southward.

They acted as if nothing had happened, they were building roads and farming, completely ignoring their original owners!

Total disregard!

Alamo felt a big breath holding in his chest.

The Qin people's lack of action meant that they had no loopholes. Even if the Ou people wanted to fight back, they would not be able to find a chance.

At the same time, several adults expressed their concerns.

"The Qin people did not attack Luo Yue, nor did they enter the mountains to pursue us. But many old people and children of various tribes died during this period. The wild beasts on several mountains were hunted down by our warriors, and the soil could The wild vegetables we eat are almost mined. A lot of the remaining food is damp, and it looks like it can last for two or three months at most."

There are too many migrating Ou people. There are tens of thousands of people, old and young. They are far away from the familiar villages and surrounding areas and entering unfamiliar mountains. Coupled with the cold dry season, this is also an arduous task for the Ou people. challenge.

The elderly and children died first because they could not hold on, and then there was a food crisis.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in a limited area consume more resources than living in different places.

Maybe they can survive for a while by relying on food reserves, but what about next year?

Without farmland for farming, what will they eat in the future?

Without the Qin people pursuing them, without the Qin people taking action, the Ou people would have died in the mountains.

Perhaps a group of people can be left far away from the land that their ancestors have cultivated for generations, and go to more distant mountains and forests to break through the thorns and create a new home.

But more Ou people will probably turn into dust on the road.

"Qin people. It's these hateful invaders who made us lose our home!"

Alamo stood on the cliff and let out a low roar.

"We want to take it back! Take back the land where our ancestors have lived for generations, take back our home! Drive these hateful Qin people out!"

"Drive the Qin people out!"

In the forest behind the Alamo, figures appeared one after another.

They wore leather clothes or captured Qin armor, held various weapons in their hands, and had bloody frog patterns or totems of other tribes tattooed on their faces.

The Ou people were extremely numerous and densely packed, with a total of fifteen thousand people.

This is their last strength.

It is also their only hope to regain their homeland.

Alamo once again took a look at the Qin Army fortress at the foot of the mountain. It was a building built of stone and wood. Looking from a high place, one could still see black figures swaying nearby. From a distance, they looked like birds. Little ants.

Alamo took a deep breath, raised his arms and shouted: "Warriors of the Ou people, we want to take back the land of our ancestors and our home!"

"For the sake of our homeland, we will fight to the end with the Qin people!"

With the cry of King Xiou.

Tens of thousands of Xiouyue people all whispered in agreement, buzzing in the forest.

With bloodthirsty and crazy expressions on their faces, they ran towards the road down the mountain one after another.

This night, the people of Ou will fight for their homeland!
