The girl led the way and repeatedly expressed that she wanted to ask her to ask the people in the caravan to enter their village after she had asked her tribe.

When the group of people walked around the hill, they saw several fire points smoking from afar. The girl looked out from afar and said anxiously: "That's the direction of our village."

The village caught fire, one or two places could be said to be an accident, but six or seven places of fire indicate that the fire was caused by external reasons, and the most likely attack was by bandits.

"How many people are there in your village?" Liu Yu asked.

"More than 300 people, my tribe may be in danger, I want to save them." The North Vietnamese girl was nervously trying to rush towards the village, but was hugged by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu said: "If you pass this way, you will die. Listen to me. Let's try to approach the village and see if we can still save each other."

The North Vietnamese girl had no idea at all. She seemed to be unable to resist when she was hugged by Liu Yu. Looking at Liu Yu's sincere gaze, she nodded slightly, then lowered her head, and struggled slightly as if she wanted to break free from Liu Yu's arm. Liu Yu let go of her hand and grabbed the girl's hand without any hesitation and rushed to the hill.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, but after bypassing the hill, the road surface became much better. There were many terraced fields planted with food, and the trees in the dense forest gradually became sparse. Liu Yu could see that these North Vietnamese people had not been operating here for a long time, and their farming conditions were not good. As Liu Yu knew before, the fertile land in Lingnan was occupied by local forces, and the more they went north, the more they were. It was not easy for the North Vietnamese people to make a living under the eyes of the Lingnan military forces.

"Follow me, be careful, some traps... are the tribe members who guard against thieves and wild beasts."

Liu Yu already knew that the girl was named Duolin. She was a North Vietnamese girl who had never been far away from her sixteen years old. She had an older brother and two younger sisters, but her parents had died early and lived with her grandfather.

Qu Ning disagreed with Liu Yu's final analysis. She thought that it was probably because Liu Yu fell in love with this alien girl and that he would agree to help her save the people from the North Vietnamese.

Bypassing the hill, it was about four or five miles away from the place where the fire broke out. They were all walking on the mountain and they had to hurry over. Even Liu Yu was a little unsupported, and Duolin had to adapt much. According to herself, she went down the mountain to buy needles and threads to sew clothes for the sisters in the village. There were many stakeholders at the foot of the mountain who would do business with local ethnic minorities, which was also the business ecology of this area. Ethnic minorities rarely entered the territory of the Han people.

"I came out on my back, and my willfulness... would harm them." The closer the girl got to her village, the bigger the fire, the more she cried and said something blaming.

Liu Yu comforted: "The arrival of the thief has nothing to do with you. We will find a way to save your tribe."

Liu Yu was not sure. He didn't know who was coming, whether it was a bandit or a regular local force. Because of the recent minority looting operations, he didn't know whether the North Vietnamese people participated. If it was a revenge operation, it would be necessary to wipe out a hamlet of more than 300 people. Local forces would use at least four or five hundred soldiers, and they only had twenty or thirty guns, so it was difficult to deal with it.

After walking for half an hour, he finally arrived at the periphery of the village and the fields became more and more numerous. Liu Yu took out his telescope and looked at the site where the incident happened. He could see many fire points, basically simple wooden buildings. There were also some corpses of different clothes lying around. Whether it was women, children, or adult men's clothes were intact, which means that they had not encountered insults before they died.

After watching for a long time, Liu Yu didn't find anyone alive.

Liu Yu thought to himself, it would be that the entire village was taken over, right? But if it was taken over, with the attitude of bandits and local forces towards foreign races, they had no reason not to plunder.

"Why is there no one?" Liu Yu looked at Duolin and asked, "Your tribe members. When they encounter an outside attack, will they retreat to somewhere to hide?"

Duolin was reminded by Liu Yu and thought about it carefully, "My tribe members may have retreated to Longyan Cave behind the mountain. There are many stones there. We can smash those thieves, and we can also hide behind the stone and shoot them with arrows."

Liu Yuxin said that it must be there, and immediately said to Dolin: "Lead the way forward."

Although Liu Yu and the caravan were both outsiders, Duolin did not have any doubts and immediately led the way. Liu Yuxin said that this alien girl was really ignorant of the world. If it were someone else, she would not have believed in him as an outsider so heartily.

The surrounding mountains were rising and falling, and after walking for about two miles, the girl pointed to a bare high ground in the distance and said, "It's there. My tribe is really there..."

The girl was anxious when she saw someone on the hill, and seemed to be still in combat.

The two sides were four or five hundred steps away from the range of bow shooting. Liu Yu took out his telescope and observed the situation carefully. He could only see the situation on the cliff. Many bandits with swords were hiding in lower terrain, as if discussing how to attack the mountain. The armed forces of ethnic minorities were condescending to hinder the bandits' journey up the mountain with stones or bows. As for how many living people were still in the cave behind the cliff, Liu Yu didn't know, but looking at the bodies of many aliens left on the cliff, Liu Yu thought that this battle would be very tragic.

Because Liu Yu is located in a lower terrain, looking at the cliff from here, the situation can be seen at a glance.

Liu Yu estimated that there were about fifty or sixty bandits besieging the cliffs, not like the group of people who attacked them before. According to Liu Yu's speculation, the main purpose of the bandits today was to camp, but by chance, they met the caravan. The group of people who were defeated by Liu Yu may have been guarding the periphery or a support team. Because they were blocked by Liu Yu and the caravan's muskets, the bandits could not attack the village with the strongest strength, so they left behind fish that escaped.

There were fifty or sixty bandits who showed up, and the number of bandits who did not show up should be about this. In other words, there were more than a hundred bandits in front of Liu Yu.

Liu Yu pointed to the mountain and said to Lian Husheng: "You bring six people to kill from the east stone valley, use earth cannons to create some sounds, and we will cover it from the front..."

Lian Husheng is not right: "Your safety is important, your safety is important..."

"What do you mean is to make me a turtle shrunk?" Liu Yu raised his face and ordered, "Go quickly, if it's too late, these bandits will attack the mountain, and there will be no chance at that time."

Lian Husheng had no choice but to take the order, so he ordered six guards and took one of the only two local cannons in the caravan to the mountain. Liu Yu asked someone to set up another local cannon on the spot, preparing to launch a shelling bombardment head-on to face the bandits' hiding place. Although the local cannon is powerful, it can only be fired once, and there is a risk of explosion.

"Get out of the way." Liu Yu shouted to Qu Ning and Duolin, who were confused about the danger of local cannons.

Then Liu Yu prepared the short gun and bullets, carried another long gun, and called the guards and two women to follow him, leaving only one guard to prepare for firing.

"When the company guards arrive at their location, they will fire the gun when they see the signal. It cannot be early or late."

After Liu Yu finished instructing, he took the people to the direction of the high ground. Because the firing point was five hundred steps away from the hiding place of the bandits on the hilltop, he had just reached the firing range of the musket, and Liu Yu had to try to get close to the hilltop to complete the encirclement and shooting.

During the preparation period, the bandits attacked the top of the cliff again, but were blocked by stones and arrows, leaving four or five bodies and retreated.

Liu Yu thought that these were just bandits after all, and they were greedy and afraid of dying. If they met a regular army, the mountain would have been captured long ago by the remnants of ethnic minorities.

When the group reached three hundred steps away from the mountain, Liu Yu signaled not to move forward again. The soldiers were all ready to go, and they looked very excited when they encountered war. Liu Yu knew that they were all spoiled by Huo Bing on weekdays. Liu Yu looked at the two women in the team, all of whom had never been on the battlefield.

Liu Yu used a telescope to see that Lian Husheng had already been prepared and was using the slogan of the flag. Liu Yu knew that he could not wait any longer. He directly ascended the sky with a red signal flare and issued a command to fire the cannon. As a result of a fire ascending to the sky, the people on the mountain had not figured out the situation, and immediately felt two black things flying around the bandits' hiding point.

"Boom, bang..."

One straight and one tilted, two internal implosion bombs caused huge damage on the mountain, and smoke and dust filled. Then Liu Yu waved his hand and the guards behind him quickly attacked the hill, attacking and shooting. Many bandits who had not figured out the situation, rushed down the mountain from the explosion point and were shot down by bullets. Only then did the bandits realize that they had been attacked.

The power of the muskets did not agree with crossbow arrows and stones. Liu Yu had only more than twenty people on the side, so he divided into two groups to attack the mountain. Originally, Liu Yu thought that the North Vietnamese people on the top of the mountain would take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them, and thus formed a three-sided encirclement. Unexpectedly, when Lian Husheng came out of the flank, he forced the remaining bandits to escape down the mountain, and the top of the mountain was still waiting and watching.

From beginning to end, Liu Yu did not go to the battlefield in person, but after the bandit retreated, he symbolically took out a short gun and fired two shots. This was the first time Duolin saw the power of the earth cannon. The previous two explosions were scared that she could only hide there and dare not move. Although Qu Ning had better psychological quality, her situation was not much better than Duolin.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and see what your tribe members are like!" Liu Yu said to Duolin, who was still in shock.

Duolin nodded in a hurry, and at this time, Lian Husheng and others who had killed the bandits had already gone to the direction of the mountain, and several people came out of the mountain to welcome him. Although ethnic minorities had prejudice against the Han people, they could also distinguish right from wrong. They witnessed it with their own eyes just now. Liu Yu could see below that when Lian Husheng brought people up, there were not many young and middle-aged people who could come out to greet him.

After Liu Yu was led by Duolin, he couldn't help but feel a little sigh when he saw the situation below.

The North Vietnamese clan village, which originally had 300 people, was left at this time forty or fifty people hiding in the open space in front of a small cave. Many people were injured, and most of them were women and children. The young and middle-aged man escorted these people up the mountain with his life, but if Liu Yu had not appeared with his people, they would have been buried here, and the entire clan village would not have existed.
