Chapter 151 The stars in the sky

The sneak attacks of Qin Congping and other mountain people caused Sun Kewang to suffer a great loss, killing and injuring more than 400 people. How could Sun Kewang resist this cowardly? The next day, he ordered three thousand men and horses, and was full of murderous aura and marched up the mountain. He wanted to kill all Qin Congping's tribe.

Sun Kewang captured the local people as guides. He asked and learned that Qin Congping's tribe was near a place called Nuniang Mountain. Nuniang Mountain is very famous because many women have died there, so it is unknown why they die.

Although the old patriarch was old, his body was still strong. This may be the benefit of hunters in the mountains. He was sitting on a huge stone, smoking his own dry tobacco, watching the movements at the foot of the mountain. He could see the situation where Sun Kewang's army was at the foot of the mountain. The young men such as Qin Rui and Chen Hang were standing beside the old patriarch. Their current responsibility is to be messengers. Although these children are young, they are like cheetahs in the mountains, running and shuttled through the forest at a very fast speed, like ghosts.

"The enemy has touched it from the entrance of Huogu in the east. Tell your father Qin Congping and ask them to take some of them to ambush there." The old patriarch ordered.

"Yes, patriarch, I'll go now!" Qin Rui ran immediately, holding a spear given to him by his father. When encountering an unexpected situation, he could use this to fight the spear.

The mountains here are too steep and bushes are growing. In the huge woods, there are also vine-man entangled. It is really difficult for Sun Kewang's army to climb up in this mountain, so he still chose to go to Huogu. Although Huogu is difficult to walk, it is all stones, relatively speaking, his army is still much more convenient.

Just as they walked to a narrow canyon, they suddenly heard the terrible whistle, and then dozens of mountain people appeared on the cliffs on both sides. They threw stones, rolled wood, etc., some were throwing spears, and some were shooting arrows!

Sun Kewang was prepared for the ambush of the mountain people. This place was indeed a very good ambush place. The reason why he walked here was completely because he was lucky. He hoped that these mountain people could attack by chance if they didn't understand the strategic location, and there was no better way to go.

"Retreat, let's climb up from elsewhere!" Sun Kewang shouted. The canyon was too narrow, and it would probably suffer heavy losses if it was hard to bite the bullet.

The old patriarch on the mountain saw the army touching the back of the mountain to the west and immediately ordered: "The army is on the west, let your father take people to the west!"

The mountain road is difficult to move forward. At this time, Sun Kewang divided his people into ten teams. If he dispersed this way, it would be easier for the small troops to go up the mountain. There were not many hunters on the mountain, and they were very scattered. Sun Kewang believed that as long as his troops could go up the mountain, victory would be theirs. Although the mountain people ran fast on the mountain, they could not fight in real war.

A team of 300 people explored and advanced towards the mountain. The dense forest covered the sky and avoided the sun. There were often birds and beasts running by their side. The vines wrapped around the trees stared at them like poisonous snakes, making them feel scared. In the deep mountains, they smelled the aura of fear of death.

Suddenly, a large net fell from the sky, and when the peasant army caught off guard, it covered more than a dozen people. Then several mountain people appeared. They either threw away their spears or shot arrows, and some were directly large stones. A few people died in the net at once. Other peasant army around rushed over, but when they came, the mountain people had disappeared.

Suddenly, some peasant soldiers felt their feet empty, and the entire large area under them collapsed. Below were sharp bamboo tips. Some peasant soldiers were stabbed to death directly, and those who were not dead were also frightened. They were then killed by hunters hiding beside them. Sometimes, spears, arrows, and even sharpened bamboo tubes flew out from directions they didn't know from time to time. Various ambushings and plots caused the peasant soldiers to suffer a great loss. After losing hundreds of people, they retreated.

After half a month of fighting, Sun Kewang paid a heavy price of more than a thousand people, but they still did not find the main force of the mountain villagers. Although they also killed many mountain villagers, relatively speaking, more people died.

He could not continue like this. He could not afford such losses. He had to think of other ways to deal with these hateful mountain people. These people were walking in the mountains like ghosts. Their people could not find people at all. Before they saw where the people were, many people died in various traps for no reason. When they climbed up the mountain, the hateful mountain people didn't know where they went. He had never fought such a cowardly battle, which made him feel that he could not do anything. He was completely beaten but could not beat people.

However, the mountain people's luck has not always been so good, because there was a person coming to Sun Kewang's military camp, and this person was Pan Duao.

Pan Duao gave Sun Kewang a suggestion to use the newly surrendered mountain people to attack Qin Congping's group of mountain people, that is, to use mountain people to govern the mountain people. Those mountain people are in the mountains, just like fish in the water, and they are no match for them at all, but if they are also mountain people, this asymmetric war will no longer exist and become a fair battle.

In this way, the situation of the war reversed, and the peasant army followed the newly surrendered mountain people, who could avoid many traps, and then find the hunters and kill them.

Xiao Qinrui and Chen Hang ran all the way. Many tribe members were already dead and hung on vines. Their heads were gone. Their task was to lift the corpses on the vines and then bury them.

After doing this, Qin Rui and Chen Hang rushed to Nuniang Mountain. All the women of their tribe hid there. He had not seen his mother for many days.

When they arrived at Nuniang Mountain, the scene in front of them completely shattered their young hearts.

They saw many corpses hanging on the trunks, some were hanging on cloth belts, some were hanging directly with vines, and there were stones built under their feet, which were obviously used for foot cushions.

"Drink your tea and ask you two words, the beautiful little girl is eighteen years old. Is there a family in-laws?" A woman was wearing the most beautiful clothes, singing while throwing a cloth belt on the tree trunk above her head, then tied it up, and pulled it with her hands. It felt very strong. She hung her neck and kicked off the stones built under her feet. She struggled a few times with a happy smile.

Qin Rui and Chen Hang immediately ran over. They didn't understand why these women wanted to hang themselves. They wanted to put down the tribe members hanging on the tree. They didn't want their tribe members to die.

"Chen Hang, use more force, aunt is almost out of the way! Use force! Woo woo..." The two children shouted in anxiety, tears flowing, and burst into tears.

"Brother Rui, don't do this!" Qin Rui was trying hard to hold the woman's legs and lift it up, but how strong can a child in his teens have? He suddenly heard his mother's voice and turned around to look under a tree not far away, his mother was picking stones around him.

Qin Rui and Chen Hang ran over, and Qin Rui knelt on the ground and cried, "Mother, why is this?"

The mother said with a kind face and a smile: "Brother Rui, this girl-nanny mountain is the best destination for us women. When you men fight, we women will not be able to help us, and it will be your burden..." The woman was talking while building stones.

"Mother! Don't!" Qin Rui hugged his mother. He was afraid that his mother would leave him. He was still a child and he loved her mother.

The woman's eyes dripped from tears, but she smiled and said kindly: "Brother Rui, you will be a man in the future. Don't cry anymore. My mother is not around in the future. You must be strong and survive. The mountain god will bless our brother Rui. If you miss your mother in the future, you will look up at the stars in the sky. My mother will watch our brother Rui grow up in the sky!"

"Mother!" Qin Rui kept his mother tightly.

"Let's go, the mother is leaving too!" The woman let go of her child and sang a folk song. No matter how the child begged or cried next to her, she ignored it.

She hung her neck and kicked her feet with a stone. The last scene of her in the world was watching Chen Hang pull her child, but her son still kneeled on the ground and cried reluctantly. Then she couldn't see it, and her eyes were pitch black. At the last glance, she saw her son. She was already very content and died with a smile.

His mother was no longer moving. Qin Rui was pulled by Chen Hang and left here. He looked back at Nuniang Mountain with the last glance. In the dim woods, under the trees, all the corpses of his tribe were hung...

"Mother!" Qin Rui let out a final roar.

Qin Rui came to his father's place, and now there are less than a few dozen people left. The old patriarch also died in the battle. The old patriarch left the rod of dry tobacco for his father, who was smoking dry tobacco.

"Father, mother and the others..." Qin Rui cried and couldn't speak.

"Child, don't cry, I know that your mother is the pride of our tribe, and we will die of dignity." Qin Congping knew what Qin Rui was going to say, but he didn't say much.

"Brother Rui, you are the eldest brother. You took Chen Hang and other children to leave here and make a living by yourself, leaving some blood for our tribe members!" Qin Congping said, spitting out a mouthful of dry tobacco.

"Father, I won't leave, I'm going to die with you!" Qin Rui said crying.

"Obe obedient, you are the hope of the tribe. As long as you are still alive, we are brave and fighting is meaningful!" Qin Congping said, holding his son and kissing him. Perhaps he will never see his child again. Although he did not shed tears, his heart was very sore.

"Let's go!"

Qin Rui wiped his snot and tears, and took Chen Hang and several other children to the depths of the mountain. They ran desperately and ran to the mountain. The huge stone that the old patriarch liked to smoke smoked smoked, climbed onto the stone and looked down on it.

"Rui Ge'er, what should we do? Our tribe members are dead, and only a few of us are left."

"Go! Get out of here!"

"Why go, we have lived here for generations!"

"How can we avenge our tribe members if we don't go out? We must go out!"

"Yes, take revenge, we want to take revenge, but where are we going? How do we take revenge?"
