Chapter 296 Encountering the enemy in Tanshan Mountain

In this battle, Su Dingshan's team paid only a small price of a dozen deaths and a hundred injuries, but successfully killed 5,000 enemies and seized 4,400 war horses, of which 4,000 were still usable.

"Fat Tiger, look at what this is?"

Jia Yixiao walked over holding a mace. The mace was made entirely of metal, apparently iron, with a copper handle on the back.

When Fat Tiger saw it, his eyes lit up immediately. This was the weapon he had always dreamed of. Iron in the Great Zhou was expensive, and refined iron was even more valuable. This kind of weapon was not something he could get just by wishing for it.

"Give it to me!" He reached out to take it impatiently, but Jia Yixiao took a step back and said, "You have to call me brother before I give it to you."

"Tsk!" Fat Tiger raised his nose and looked at Jia Yixiao with disdain: "You're not that old, and you want to be someone's older brother?"

"I'm two years older than you, why can't I be your big brother?" Jia Yixiao said anxiously.

"Nonsense, he's only one year older, how come..." Suddenly, Fat Tiger seemed to remember something and stopped talking.

"Haha, you've admitted it yourself. I'm one year older than you. So, you won't suffer any loss if I call you brother." Jia Yixiao laughed triumphantly, his face full of the look of a man who had succeeded in his evil plan.

"Scholars are insidious. What's wrong with calling you brother?" Fat Tiger knew he was in the wrong, but he really wanted the mace, so he could only say helplessly: "Brother, I am honored to meet you!"

After saying that, he reached out to ask for it again.

Jia Yixiao didn't want to tease Fat Tiger anymore, so he handed over the mace.

This mace is about six feet long and weighs eighty kilograms. It is made entirely of fine iron. It feels heavy in the hand and has a very textured feel.

"Where did they get this?" Even in Mayi, there were few craftsmen capable of making such a weapon. How could the Xiongnu possess such a weapon? Su Dingshan asked in confusion.

"During the battle just now, a small leader picked up this weapon and hit one of my soldiers. I hit him from behind and got this weapon back. Unfortunately, it's a bit heavy." Jia Yixiao recounted what happened not long ago with embarrassment.

"Fat Tiger, you really have to thank your brother Jia for getting this weapon. Otherwise, you would definitely be at a disadvantage if you used your wooden stick to fight against this iron stick." Su Dingshan said to Fat Tiger seriously.

"Impossible, my stick is also very powerful." Fat Tiger was not convinced.

"How about I use this weapon to collide with your stick, and you'll know the reason." Su Dingshan said as he reached out to take the mace, holding the weapon and waiting for Fat Tiger to attack.

"Ah..." Fat Tiger shouted and raised his stick to chop down fiercely.

When Su Dingshan saw Fat Tiger's wooden stick coming at him, he swung out his mace and attacked him head-on.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, Fat Tiger's wooden stick broke on the spot.

"What's going on?" Fat Tiger asked in surprise and confusion.

"When two men of similar strength meet, the superiority of their weapons determines the outcome of the fight. That's why I say you should thank General Jia. Otherwise, if you had met him, you would have certainly suffered a loss."

"Oh..." Fat Tiger suddenly realized and said to Jia Yixiao, "Big Brother, thank you for the gift of weapons."

"Haha, I finally convinced you. We are all brothers in the army, so there is no need to say thank you anymore." Although Jia Yixiao is a child of a noble family, he also has the generous character of a man of the world, and he attaches great importance to the friendship of comrades in the army.

Seeing that the battlefield was almost cleaned up, Su Dingshan waved his hand to signal the troops to withdraw from the battlefield.

The injured men returned to Mayi with their injured horses and some weapons and armor.

In the first battle, 5,000 enemy chiefs were wiped out. Han Jiacai was in a good mood when he heard the news.

"General Cao, do you think we should send another 20,000 men to support us?"

"It's too early now. Let's wait and see the battle situation in two days." Cao Youde knew that Han Jiacai was a little ambitious. At this moment, he couldn't be carried away by victory and had to remain calm.

"My Lord, we need a general who is good at guerrilla warfare to fight outside the city. Such talents are not easy to find. Su Dingshan was promoted from a lieutenant general specifically for this battle outside the city."

"So that's how it is. Then I'll wait a little longer until I find a suitable candidate..." After learning that there were these tricks on the battlefield, Han Jiacai didn't want to intervene anymore and simply waited for the result.

……

Jigawa waited for a long time, but no victory report came. The spies he sent out came back and reported that all 5,000 people had been killed by the enemy. Upon hearing this news, he was furious.

"How could this happen? My five thousand elite cavalry were completely wiped out in one battle."

Pu Bucheng, who rushed over after hearing the news, suppressed a smile and said, "Failure is common. Don't worry too much, Chief."

"What do you know, you idiot? Isn't there something fishy going on here?"

"Strange? I didn't see that. What a pity."

"Mr. Park, stop making sarcastic remarks here."

After Jiga Wa finished speaking, he jumped on his horse and led the team to find a camp to stay for the night.

After Jiga Wa walked away, a figure approached Pu Bucheng.

"Our two tribes are close to each other, and many families intermarry. Now everyone is just gathering together for the sake of profit. No one is more noble than the other."

"We understand this principle, but the people of the Ji tribe may not. Forget it, let's quickly find a place to set up camp. Don't be too far away from them, in case someone attacks the camp in the middle of the night."

Pu Bucheng explained to the people around him.

In the afternoon, before the sun sets, there is a river in a place called Pingba. The upstream and downstream are quite open, so it is a good choice to camp here.

Jigawawa's people were the first to occupy the upper reaches of the river, and Pubucheng's people had no choice but to find a place to rest downstream.

The river flows from west to east. There is a mountain to the north of Pingba, named Tanshan. There is a village on the mountain called Tanshan Village, with a population of about a hundred people.

That daycare felt bored at night and said to the people around him: "Ten miles to the north, there is a village. Our army has been marching for so long and has never been there. Let's go and take a look before it gets dark."

"Chief, before we go, should we tell the chief?"

"It's only ten miles away, and it only takes an hour to go back and forth. Even scouts can reach it. What's there to say? We can just take five hundred people with us."

"Five hundred people? Isn't that too few?"

"Then let's have a thousand. There aren't many cavalrymen in the army, so taking a thousand of them won't be noticeable."

The daycare worker spoke confidently, and the figure of a woman seemed to appear before his eyes.

There is another mountain opposite Tanshan, called Lushan, where Jia Yixiao led 10,000 people to hide.

Su Dingshan and Fat Tiger led 10,000 people to detour from the west and head towards Tanshan.

"General Su, we've discovered a village ahead, but there are a thousand Huns not far away, heading towards the village."

A spy came to report.

When Su Dingshan heard this, he thought to himself that something was wrong.

"Fat Tiger, you take 5,000 men and go directly into the village to surround and annihilate this group of people. I will take 5,000 men and disperse them to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

"Okay!" When Fat Tiger heard that he would be the vanguard, he couldn't stop smiling and agreed.
