Chapter 282
March sixteenth.

To the south of Guanyinqing, there is Dajian Mountain.

Xu Tupiao was a general under Xiongshan's command, and it was he who escorted Bai Nongchuan back to Dali from Qingfu County.Unexpectedly, there was a war in Tongya City and was besieged in Dajianshan.

This is still a very lucky situation. If Gao Changshou was not decisive enough to think that Guanyinqing's old forest in the deep mountains would not be found by Duan Shi so quickly, he might have been wiped out by now.

There is a stockade on the mountain, and food is also prepared in advance.

But on the way back to Dajianshan, they were overtaken by Duan's Dali army, and more than [-] people behind were killed or injured by [-]%. Soldiers build some artillery vehicles.

While building the cannon cart, Xu Tuopiao said to Bai Nongchuan: "You have to be careful of fire attacks. Before killing Wulianghetai county captain, you took people up the mountain. I was washed away by the river, but I saw the mountain at night. The fire is terrible. They dug trenches to separate the fire..."

Bai Nongchuan said: "Yuehou said that being trapped on the mountain is not an option, first defend these few attacks, and find a way to break through."

"There are so many old and young women, how can we break through."

Bai Nongchuan's tone was somewhat apologetic, and he said, "I'm sorry, I have troubled you."

"That's not what I mean." Xu Tupiao smirked and said, "I'm not afraid of death. Last time I could get my life back, it's worth it. Besides, even if I die in battle, there are many pensions. There are fields and houses." leave it to my son."

"How old is Brother Xu's son? Over 20? Can you ask for a wife?"

"Look at what you said, I'm only 24, how can I have such a big son."

Bai Nongchuan scratched his head in embarrassment, changed the subject, and said, "Can this gun mount be mounted?"

"Yes... for a while, let's have something to eat first."

While talking, I saw teams of Yi women had built fences not far away, and some people brought food and hot soup.

Holding the food in his hands, Xu Tupiao turned his head and saw Gao Mingyue arranging meals at the rear, and teaching others how to change the wounded soldiers' medicines. The cottage looked orderly in chaos.

"Is this princess the wife of the county lieutenant in the future?"

"That's how I guessed it. Before I set off to celebrate the talisman, the princess asked me to bring something to County Lieutenant Li. At that time, Yue Hou had this expression...Look at me."

"That's it?" Xu Tupiao scratched his head, wanting to praise the Princess Dali a few words, but felt it was inappropriate, so he just muttered.

"If I really can't kill him, how much land will the county lieutenant give me if I can send the county lieutenant's wife? My son will be too rich in the future..."

~~
Gao Mingyue came to the wooden house with a basket of herbs. She prepared the wound medicine and began to pound it again. At the same time, she took a Buddhist scripture and put it on her lap while pounding the medicine and reciting silently.

Duan Miaoyin came in with the child in her arms, and said: "Look at you, how can there be such a chant, it seems disrespectful."

Gao Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and said: "I thought that as long as my heart is devout, the Buddha can always hear my thoughts."

Duan Miaoyin put the sleeping child aside, took the medicine pot in her hand and pounded it, and said in a low voice: "It's true, these years, I often pray to God to bless your second brother safe and sound, he has gone through hardships..."

Her words turned into sighs at the end.

Not long after sitting there, there was a sudden shout from outside.

"Attack the mountain again!"

"Hold on..."

The sound of fighting woke up the sleeping child, crying loudly.

The medicine jar in Duan Miaoyin's hand fell to the ground, Gao Mingyue picked it up, and put it aside.

The women and children in the wooden house were in a panic.

"Don't panic, just keep doing what you have to do."

Gao Mingyue picked up the dagger and walked out, only to see that the Duan Dali soldiers had already jumped up the hill.

She doesn't know how many enemy troops there are, but so far she has seen at least 3000 people.

Three thousand regular Dali troops surrounded seven hundred old, weak, sick and disabled on the mountain, and the hope of escape was very slim.

"The people behind will move wood and stone with me, and we will smash these traitors down."

While directing the women to do things, Gao Mingyue took the lead in pushing logs and stones.

Arrows were thrown up from the bottom of the mountain from time to time, and even the old people and women who were helping behind were hit by arrows from time to time and fell down screaming.

"There are rebels attacking the mountain from the south and east!"

Gao Changshou hurriedly looked around, and said, "I'll take people to guard, Mingyue, you will command."

Gao Mingyue didn't have confidence, but she didn't give up when she was flustered, and hurried forward to command Shoushan...

~~
"Quick, bring the children in."

Duan Miaoyin ran past the gate of the village and dragged a few children from the village, suddenly saw some Dali soldiers from the Duan family came up the mountain from the east, they swung their knives and chopped them down, regardless of whether they were young or strong, women or children.

"Ah!" There was a scream.

Seeing this scene, Duan Miaoyin froze in shock.

The next moment, Gao Changshou finally led his men to rush up, and with all his strength, he killed the Dali soldiers who rushed up to the steep hillside to the east.

"Go, go in quickly." Gao Changshou shouted.

Duan Miaoyin took a deep look at Gao Changshou's back, turned around and drove the children into the village, but tears fell down unconsciously...

The Duan family and the Gao family have been married for generations, in terms of seniority, Duan Xingzhi and Duan Shi are still her uncles.

The happy and harmonious scene among relatives is still vivid in the curtain.In the blink of an eye, it was these relatives who wanted to kill her husband and children...

~~
It's almost dusk.

Gao Changshou swayed, his blood loss made him weak.

The Dali soldiers attacking the mountain seemed to be inexhaustible, and even if they guarded the mountain condescendingly, the casualties of his old, weak, sick and disabled were far greater than the Dali soldiers.

Gao Changshou didn't count them, but he knew that more than half of them died in the arrow rain.

There are wailing and crying everywhere, some people have collapsed, crying and wanting to surrender, but the Dali soldiers have no intention of keeping alive, they are still shooting arrows and attacking the mountain...

During the chaotic battle, Gao Changshou was finally stabbed to the ground by a spear.

He struggled to get up, turned his head to look, and suddenly froze for a moment.

He saw Bai Nongchuan's body lying there quietly, with wounds all over his chest.

"Nongchuan..."

Gao Changshou murmured, suddenly thinking of Bai Cangshan who died on Longhu Lake.

He originally thought that Mr. Bai died to protect himself, and he could not let his nephew die again in the future.When the country is restored, Bai Nongchuan will be appointed a high official.

Rejuvenation?Impossible to return to the country.

As Gao Changshou thought, it would be impossible to succeed if he raised an army; as Gao Qiong thought, it would be useless to hide his strength and bide his time.

There is no right or wrong way to do it.

Under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs.When the country is destroyed, the subjugated slaves have no dignity and can only be trampled on like ants.

The already smoldering hatred for the subjugation of the country, the failure of the relic monk, Gao Junchang's betrayal, Bai Nongchuan's death... Gao Changshou's bitterness came to his throat, and he knelt beside Bai Nongchuan's corpse and vomited.

……

Another Dali soldier climbed to the top of the mountain and surrounded him.

"kill him!"

Some Dali soldiers rushed towards Gao Changshou, and suddenly, someone rushed over from the other side and blocked Gao Changshou.

During the fight, Gao Changshou stood up, turned his head to look, and saw that Gao Mingyue had brought people to support him.

"Take them away... Mingyue, take them away..."

Gao Changshou charged forward again with the saber in hand, and slashed down with the saber, blood spattering his face.

Gao Mingyue rushed forward, wounded a Dali soldier, and pulled Gao Changshou back.

"Second brother, listen to me..."

"Let's go, take your sister-in-law and nephew to find Feiyu, and hide your name from now on..."

"Retired, they retreated, second brother, look over there."

Gao Changshou turned his head and glanced away, only to see that the fierce battle was still on the top of the mountain, but farther away, groups of Dali troops surrounding the mountain had rushed north...

~~
Duan's Dali soldiers did not immediately give up attacking the mountain, but the scene of withdrawing troops boosted the morale of the Gao's soldiers, and the Dali soldiers who were attacking the mountain lost their fighting spirit without knowing what happened.

After this round of offensive, Duan's Dali soldiers stopped attacking the mountain and withdrew most of them, leaving only a small number of troops to block the way down the mountain.

……

Xu Tupiao was injured, so he dragged his legs and sat down beside Bai Nongchuan's body, wrapping himself up with difficulty.

"Hey... why did you die in battle? If I still have a pension, you... the county lieutenant sent me to escort you. If I don't do this job, I'll ruin it..."

Xu Tupiao didn't know how to express his sadness, so he muttered a few words, thinking it would be better not to talk about it, and finally just squinted and looked into the distance.

"Looking at it like this, the county lieutenant must have arrived..."
