Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2984 Victory and defeat

Zhu Huan's intuition is amazing.

Because in the cottage, there are indeed not only the Ba people who were originally in the cottage.

There are also the leader of the Ba Snake and the Ba Snake Divine Guard.

According to legend, the leader of the Ba Snake and the Ba Snake Divine Guard are both immortal.

Even if you "die" temporarily, you will come back to life with the blessing of the gods.

Such magical powers will naturally frighten the Ba people who have little knowledge and have not seen much of the world, and they will worship him from the ground up.

If you are a person from later generations, you may be able to understand that such a "supernatural power" can actually be used by basically any primitive religion. Or they are twins, or they simply wear the same mask. As long as they are about the same height and have similar voices, who has the audacity to really lift up the mask and take a look?

Therefore, it is unknown whether the current leader of the Ba Snake is really the so-called immortal messenger of the gods, or one of the so-called "incarnations".

However, the arrival of the Ba Snake leader and the Ba Snake Divine Guards really boosted the morale of the Ba people in the village.

Just like in most primitive tribes, the people who pass on knowledge are clergy. For the Ba people, their knowledge is with the "Ba Snake God", and the representatives of the Ba Snake God, the Ba Snake leaders are these Basically, when there is a problem with the carrier of knowledge, these snake leaders "think" and get God's instructions...

The power of my thinking also applies to the Great God Bashe.

However, this control of knowledge and the inheritance of the mysterious system have also prevented the Ba people's civilization from developing. Perhaps they were at the forefront at a certain stage, but then due to the closed knowledge inheritance system and the deliberate suppression of the people's intellectual development, the Ba people have gradually become tired, confused, and unable to compete with Han civilization. The state of erosion.

This is part of the reason why the Ba Snake leaders have always been wary of the Han people, and even deliberately isolated and resisted them.

In the past few days, the Ba Snake leader led the Ba people in the village to reinforce the village gate. He also led the Ba people to conduct offensive and defensive drills in the stronghold. It is a pity that the quality of the Ba people under this knowledge inheritance system is really low. It is difficult to understand the coordinated attack and defense methods taught to them by the Ba snake leader. Only a small number of Ba people have realized the power of it. , and most Ba people still like to howl for a while, then dance freely and impact randomly.

A few days of training could not fundamentally change the Ba people's habits. It could only barely make up for some weak points. Therefore, when the Shanzhai Gate was attacked, many of the methods taught by the Ba Snake leader were immediately forgotten by the Ba people. The people who are shouting and drinking are either you and I are on top of each other, swarming each other, or you are not, and neither am I, everyone is shrinking their heads...

The fit is almost zero. Not to mention any far and near staggered, three-dimensional defense.

If you want a group of Ba people who don't even have writing to become a regular army in a short period of time, or to have a shadow of a regular army within a few days, you can only ask the Ba Snake God to perform a divine descent.

Obviously, the Great God of Bashe did not have time to descend this time, so this was the only way.

That's right, just like expecting the national football team to qualify...

The possibility is almost zero.

Therefore, even with the blessing of the Ba Snake leader, White Tiger Bafu's men still cut open the cottage door.

Facing the Bafu White Tiger people who rushed in, the Ba people on the Ba Snake side became a little panicked. They immediately forgot the previous teachings of the Ba Snake leader and fled in all directions. Not many people thought about taking over the stronghold quickly. The hole in the door was blocked, but the Baihuba people were allowed to rush in.

Buff, who was behind, saw that the gate of the cottage was broken. He was overjoyed. He waved his hands and hurriedly climbed up with his so-called direct guards, just like he hurriedly saw a wolf pack killing its prey. The alpha wolf who comes up to demonstrate the authority of the leader.

Hearing the shouts of Ba Fu and others coming from the foot of the mountain, the Ba Snakes in the village were a little panicked. They all turned their attention to the Ba Snake leader and others standing in front of the lobby of the village, hoping that the Ba Snake leader could Do something to turn the tide.

For example, stretch out a slap, and then summon the power of wind and thunder to kill these white tigers on the spot, etc...

Amid everyone's expectations, the leader of the Ba Snake stretched out his palm, and then shouted loudly, "Divine Guard!" Go to war! 』

"call! 』

The divine guard didn't say much, and once again checked whether the armor was in order, then he held the knife in both hands and moved forward.

With the blessing of heavy armor, the divine guards even have the courage to challenge tigers and leopards.

Yes, the divine guards wear battle armor.

And if the decorations on the surface of this armor and the various colors painted on it were removed, people might find that it looks familiar...

For example, the armor worn by Han soldiers in Chengdu, Sichuan, and Sichuan.

Of course, the leader of the Ba Snake will definitely deny that this is the power of Han technology, but will say that this is the sacred armor given by the God of the Ba Snake.

Believe it or not.

The divine guard itself is burlier than the average Ba people, otherwise he would not stand out among the many Ba people. Now he is wearing a suit of heavy armor, with various decorative feathers or other strips of cloth, which is invisible. It's like the original physique has been expanded outwards in a circle, giving the impression that it is like a colorful bear walking on the ground, and it is also a bear holding a shining super sword!

The long and wide sword was obviously specially made. I don't know if it was secretly made by the Han people, or if there were blacksmiths in Ba She.

The dark blade and the sharp blade formed a sharp contrast, carrying an aura of death.

Seeing the divine guards coming forward, the Ba people in the village couldn't help but cheered, and their fighting spirit was rekindled. However, those Baihu Ba people who rushed into the village were shocked!

Before they could react, the divine guards had already rushed to the fighting line. With a roar, they rounded their long swords and slashed straight at a Baihuba man. The White Tiger Ba man who was in the midst of the attack took a look and subconsciously raised his simple shield to parry. At the same time, he waved his sword and instinctively stabbed the divine guard in the abdomen through the flaw he had exposed.

"snort! 』

The divine guard turned a blind eye to the opponent's sword as if he hadn't seen it. He just applied more force with both hands and split the opponent's simple wooden shield into two halves with one strike. The momentum didn't stop, and it also hit the opponent's shoulder. The body is nearly half a foot long, and all the bones and flesh are broken!

The opponent suddenly screamed, and all his energy spurted out along with the huge wound. The sword he thrust towards the divine guard was unable to move forward. It only brought out a string of sparks from the divine guard's waist, which was directed towards the divine guard. The ground fell, unable to break through the defense of the divine guard.

The divine guard kicked out, not only knocking the opponent over, but also pulling out the sword stuck in the opponent's bone seam. Then he stepped forward and swung the sword sideways with his backhand. The light of the sword flashed. Below, a bloody half-arc shines!

Speaking of the enlarged, widened and lengthened sword of the Divine Guard, it is somewhat like the Odachi sword mentioned by later generations of Japanese pirates, but in fact it should be more like the Changmiao sword of later generations, but because the rabbit has always been regarded as the traditional cultural propaganda front. He was beaten indiscriminately, so there are not as many people who know the Changmiao sword as there are those who know the Odachi sword.

This relatively unusual weapon has a certain degree of difficulty when used, but if it is used to clean up the minion level, it is really sharp.

Quite simply, because of the minion level, they are often just accustomed to conventional combat weapons.

In their training or combat, all the steps and rhythms are used to deal with conventional swords and spears. Once there is such a weapon that is beyond the attack range of ordinary weapons, when these soldiers maintain their original habits, When you relax your vigilance at a distance that you think is safe, you will be instantly killed by a Chang Miao Dao that exceeds the normal range.

Even if these soldiers find something is wrong and want to make adjustments, it is often too late.

On the battlefield, even the slightest distraction can be a matter of life and death.

The sword flashed, blood mist spurted out, and the severed head and arms were thrown away.

The divine guard took a step forward, twisted his waist to use his strength, and swung the long knife again.

The sharp blade cut off all the soft targets in contact with it, whether it was fingers or arms, whether it was belly or foot skin. In front of the sharp and broad sword, the original morale of the White Tiger Ba people seemed to be inflated. The balloon explodes when touched.

Hot blood sprayed out, splashing all over the faces of the people next to him.

Bai Huba was immediately frightened. The White Tigers who had gathered around the divine guard before, waving their sabers at him and hacking at him, now fell down one after another, either dead on the spot or seriously injured and screaming, and the divine guard was more contaminated with various kinds of poisons. Sowing blood and minced meat, it can be said that it is basically unscathed.

Warriors with armor and warriors without armor are basically two different species.

Under the gaze of countless eyes inside and outside the village, the divine guard rushed into the flock of sheep like a fierce tiger, displaying his power and killing several people in a row. The remaining White Tiger Ba people had their livers and gallbladders broken, and no longer had the courage to fight against him. He screamed and turned around to run, but he collided with other Ba people who came excitedly outside the entrance of the village, and they were so crowded that they couldn't move.

Seeing this, the divine guards rushed to catch up and once again wielded their long swords to sweep across everything and harvest flesh and blood.

The unparalleled dance of gods and demons...

Ahem.

Although it is not that exaggerated, for a local battlefield in a small village, a brave fighter is enough to change the local comparison of advantages and disadvantages.

The Baihu Ba people in the cottage burst out with amazing power under fear, and even pushed the Ba people outside the doorway out again, and those Ba people outside the door were preparing to happily enter the cottage to harvest and rob. , but they did not expect that before they could stand firm, they were hit by their companions. Many people rolled into a ball and fell down along the mountain path, taking the Ba people on the mountain path with them.

When Buff reached the middle of the mountain, his excited face turned livid when he saw his men running around with their heads in their hands.

He had already breached the village gate, but was beaten back. This was not just a matter of dozens, or one or two hundred people dying, but a matter of the momentum he had just gathered being shot down, and his people's hearts being shattered. question!

It took a lot of effort for his people to gather together, and it would take a relatively long time to establish a sense of belonging. During this process, any strong gust of wind could blow away the shell he built!

Therefore, Buff chose such a copycat that had a good reputation but was not too powerful. He even found out the backdoor of the copycat, just to be able to attack in one fell swoop to boost his own morale and condense his own aggregation.

However, they had clearly captured the front gate of the mountain village, so why did they retreat again?

Bafu caught a defeated man and asked urgently, but the Ba people's pitiful vocabulary could not completely and accurately describe everything that happened in the village, unless they used the Han language system to describe it. , but it is a pity that many Pakistanis do not understand Chinese at all, and the words they have been exposed to to describe events since childhood are also extremely weak.

Few, many, big, small, there is no problem with these simple descriptions, but it is difficult to be more detailed...

"Big?" Very big? Buff gritted his teeth, "What the hell is it big?" ! 』

Ba Ren tried his best to describe and dance, but his poor vocabulary and illogical thinking mode made Bafu almost collapse when he spoke.

"Very big?" ! Very deadly? ! god? ” Buff roared angrily, “What on earth are you talking about? ! 』

Buff was going crazy, but there was nothing he could do.

Because even if he kills the Ba man in front of him and then captures the next Ba man for questioning, he will probably only get a similar explanation. He doesn't know how to read and even has difficulty adding and subtracting within ten. The Ba people were unable to provide Bav with detailed information.

It is expected that a person who knows that two copper plates plus two copper plates equals four copper plates, but cannot figure out how much two plus two equals is, can understand what an abstract concept is and how to describe it logically. one thing……

It would be easier to just let this person die.

If you don’t believe it, you can watch the videos on site B that teach children arithmetic in elementary schools, and then look at the comments in the comment area that scold parents for being simple and rude. You will know that even in later generations, enlightening people’s wisdom is still a huge project.

Bafu never thought that one day the Ba people without knowledge would become his biggest obstacle at the moment.

But originally, Bafu thought that the good Ba people were the Ba people who had no knowledge and did not understand anything.

Because this way you can be obedient.

Bafu is now facing this huge problem, an invisible and incorporeal problem that cannot be solved even by how he chops with a knife or kills people. He cannot instill knowledge into these Ba people in a short time, so naturally he can't solve it. It was impossible to successfully turn the Ba people's admiration for the white tiger into his own person in a short period of time.

To put it simply, the way Ba Fu maintains these Ba people now is the primitive worship of the Ba people themselves, and this worship is directed at Ba snakes or white tigers, not Ba Fu. In other words, if Ba Fu After the husband died, these Ba people just dispersed with a bang, and then went to find the next white tiger or Ba snake. No one would think of avenging Ba Fu...

Barf obviously didn't want this.

He didn't know what dangers there were in the cottage, and he didn't dare to risk his life right now. He tasted the sweet power of controlling so many people's lives, and naturally he was unwilling to return to that small and cramped village to be an ordinary village leader.

Now, his growth path is hindered.

Buff was very hesitant. He wanted to know what was going on in the stronghold. One was to go see it himself, but obviously he might be in danger, while the other was to send one of the few people he knew who knew something. Knowledge's men went to look, but he saw the appearance of the Ba people who were crawling and escaping at the entrance of the village. If they really sent people up, whether they could come back alive was a big question.

Bafu must rely on a few men who at least know arithmetic to control and lead the other Ba people, otherwise he will be a puppet who is used by Zhu Huan...

This battle was originally Buff's effort to get rid of this puppet state, but he was slapped hard in front of this copycat that he thought he could easily win!

Face hurts...

Zhu Huan at the foot of the mountain also saw something unusual, so he sent soldiers to inquire.

Faced with a dilemma, Baff gritted his teeth and refused to admit his failure, and issued the order to set fire to the mountain...

Setting fire means that even if they win, they will gain nothing.

But this is also a victory after all, isn't it?

Anyway, the cottage was burned down.

The fire gradually ignited, and black smoke floated upward.

Zhu Huan narrowed his eyes.

He didn't expect Buff to be so cowardly. If you are so cowardly, why were you still pretending just now?

"Isn't there a way to build a mountain village behind a mountain village?" Why don't you go round up and chase them? ” Zhu Huan said unceremoniously as he stared at Buff, who was defeated but still holding on to his aura.

Naturally, Buff wouldn't say that he didn't have the guts to face the mysterious power in the mountain village that was breaking out and fighting under such circumstances. He could only shake his head and express that he had not found the way to the back mountain, and said that this mountain village might not have any back mountain...

Zhu Huan snorted coldly, approached Bafu, grabbed Bafu's robe, stared into Bafu's eyes, lowered his voice and shouted, "If you dared to lead people to kill you just now, how much more could I do?" Take a look at you. Now...from now on, you must listen to me in all military operations! If you dare to act randomly again without my order, I will kill you and support the next white tiger! 』

"You..." Buff gritted his teeth and tried to glare back, but he had already missed the point, so naturally he didn't have the ability to speak loudly.

Zhu Huan slapped Ba Fu away, turned around and ordered, "Form the team!" Back to camp! 』

Barfu on the side was grunting and smacking his lips, but he didn't dare to completely turn his back.

A small battle was over, and it seemed that it deviated from the route everyone originally planned.

Baff did not achieve his goal, and neither did Zhu Huan.

For the people in the cottage, they also failed to protect the cottage itself.

After all, water and fire are merciless, and no matter how sharp the divine guards are, they cannot fight against the mountain fire.

But after such a battle that deviated from everyone's goals, it seems hard to say who gained more and who lost more, but some things are certain, such as Buff and Zhu Huan still They seem to be in harmony with each other, but they cooperate with each other and are wary of each other. However, at this time, Jiangdong has undergone new changes...
