Boom boom boom——!
The sound of fierce war drums rang out, and the barbarian soldiers looked at the palace soldiers who were surrounding them from all directions, with ferocious looks on their faces.
"Chief, we are surrounded."
Alimu, the chief of the Black Stone Tribe, had a solemn expression on his face. They had invaded Yizhou for almost a month and had indeed robbed a lot of things and killed a lot of people. They had already avenged the small tribe that had been destroyed.
Agulli felt that it was about enough, they had obtained what they wanted, and also let Yizhou see the bravery of their southern border warriors. He thought it was enough of a lesson, so he prepared to withdraw.
During their invasion, they encountered many obstacles from the government troops, but they were all defeated. Therefore, they did not take the Yizhou army seriously. They did not expect to be surrounded on the way back.
But Agulli was not too panicked. Although the tribes in southern Xinjiang had dispersed during the invasion and went out to plunder separately, there were still three tribes following him.
These three tribes are all very powerful.
The Black Stone Tribe was Agulli's native tribe. They were good at forging weapons, and the swords they made were better than those made by the Jing Dynasty. During the great famine, the Black Stone Tribe relied on selling swords to exchange for some food from Yizhou, which prevented too many deaths in the tribe.
The Black Wind Tribe is good at archery. They are the strongest hunters among the southern Xinjiang tribes. They have accurate archery skills, are agile, and are extremely good at lurking. They rely on hunting to have meat to eat during famines, and their lives are considered relatively good among the tribes.
The Black Water Tribe is good at raising poisonous creatures, such as poisonous snakes, scorpions, poisonous insects, etc. However, during the famine, most of the poisonous creatures starved to death. This time when the Black Water Tribe came out, they only brought poisonous insects.
There were about 10,000 people in the three tribes. At this moment, looking at the Yizhou army that was gradually surrounding them, they couldn't help but tighten their weapons.
"Aguli, you have been surrounded. Don't even think about escaping. This is where you will be buried today."
The border army captain Ji Chang spoke loudly with hatred in his eyes. Previously, the southern barbarians invaded and attacked the border, and General Wang Hu was killed by his cronies, causing chaos in the border army. The city gates were breached by the barbarians again, and countless border soldiers died at their hands.
In order to preserve his strength, Ji Chang fled with the remaining border troops. Afterwards, he returned to the border town, but it was deserted and the people living in the city had already fled.
The entire border town became a ruin and a dead city, with only the corpses of border soldiers scattered all over the ground left. After Ji Chang and his men buried the bodies of his comrades, they waited.
He knew that these barbarians would definitely come back, and then it would be time for him to fight them to the death and avenge the dead border troops.
He gathered all the fleeing border troops, and there were more than 20,000 people who were willing to wait here with him.
However, there is no food left in the city, and with so many people needing food and drink, it is not a solution to stay here. Fortunately, the Yizhou captain came and said that he was ordered by the prince to take them to the military camp.
When Wang Hu was here, the border troops were not allowed to have any contact with the King of Bashu. He was the emperor's confidant. In addition to guarding against the southern barbarians, he also served as a deterrent and surveillance for Xiao Cheng.
It wasn't just Xiao Cheng who was like this. The emperor was also on guard against the princes who were exiled.
But now Wang Hu was dead, and these border troops were indeed very hungry, so they followed him to the military camp.
The captain who brought them to the military camp was called Meng Chao. He told Ji Chang and his men to stay in the camp and that he would notify them if they found any trace of the barbarians.
And now they have finally waited for these barbarians to return. Meng Chao and Ji Chang, one with the palace soldiers and the other with the border troops, have determined the route the barbarians take through scouts and are lying in ambush here. Now is the time to close the net.
"kill!"
Twenty thousand government soldiers and twenty thousand border troops roared and rushed towards the Southern Barbarians. The shouts of killing shook the sky. However, the government soldiers lagged behind the border troops. In a blink of an eye, the border troops were in the front.
Agulli raised his hand.
The three thousand hunters of the Black Wind Tribe immediately drew their bows and arrows. The tips of their arrows were a strange green color, as they were coated with snake venom.
The next second, the sound of arrows vibrating the air was heard, and three thousand arrows fell like rain. Although the border troops were wearing armor, the archery skills of the people of the Black Wind Tribe were too accurate.
Many arrows penetrated the gaps in the armor and shot into the bodies of the border soldiers. After just one or two breaths, those who were hit by the arrows turned blue in the face, fell to the ground, twitched, and foamed at the mouth.
"Fight back! Fight back!"
Ji Chang roared, and the border troops also began to shoot arrows, but unfortunately the rattan armor of the southern barbarians made the arrows of the border troops less powerful.
After sacrificing thousands of lives, the border troops finally approached.
Agili raised the huge axe in his hand and said, "Follow me and kill!"
Then the people of the Black Stone Tribe rushed towards the oncoming border troops like tigers out of a cage, following Agulli.
Agili was the bravest warrior among the Southern Barbarians. He was extremely strong and could chop a border troop charging towards him into two halves with just one axe, including the soldiers and armor.
Ji Chang's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, "Brothers of the border army, kill all these barbarians and avenge our dead comrades."
After saying that, he rushed towards Agulli, who chopped him down with an axe.
when--!
Ji Chang was so shocked that his palms went numb and his sword almost slipped out of his hand. He was horrified. Seeing the opponent coming at him with another axe, he quickly rolled on the ground to avoid it, stood up, gritted his teeth and stood with Agulli.
"Captain Ji, I'm here to help you!"
At this time, Meng Chao also arrived with the palace soldiers who were lagging behind, and the two of them fought against Agulli together.
"Blackwater Tribe, take action!"
Agili shouted loudly, and suddenly the people of the Black Water tribe made strange noises from their mouths, like the chirping of insects. Then, dense swarms of poisonous insects crawled out of their bodies, and after landing on the ground, they spread towards the palace soldiers like a black tide.
