On the low mountain, Dong Ping watched in amazement as those cavalry were put down by the fist-sized hole like this, which was a small trap that he thought was too much to do before, and there could be no power at all.

At this moment, he directly abolished the greatest advantage of these barbarian cavalry, turned his head to look at Jiang Weak, who had a calm face, and felt an indescribable admiration in his heart.

Jiang Wan looked at the barbarian cavalry that gradually stopped on the road, turned his head to look at Wang Haidao: "It's almost, release the arrow!"

"Whew!" Wang Hai agreed, and with a wave of his hand, one hundred and eighty soldiers quickly appeared, bent their bows and arrows, and began to rain arrows at the chaotic barbarian warriors.

Although they have not done special archery training, at this moment these barbarian warriors are simply live targets, and they are gathered together, as long as they can shoot arrows, even if they are blind, they can hit the enemy.

In just a moment, the corpses of many barbarians fell on the road, but unfortunately the number of people on his side was too small to form a dense arrow array, otherwise just this wave of arrow rain would make these barbarians suffer heavy losses.

After waiting for Jiang to weaken and they shot three rounds of arrows, Aguli reacted, and hurriedly commanded the barbarian warriors to counterattack with bows and arrows.

Reacted at this moment, one by one quickly bent their bows and arrows, and in an instant, countless sharp arrows converged into a dense rain of arrows pouring down.

"Shield!" Jiang Wan waved his hand, and Wang Hai beside him roared sharply.

The four hundred people who had been temporarily sent over quickly came out of the bunkers according to Meng Dan's explanation, and used their shields to protect the warriors and themselves under the shields.

Except for some unlucky people who were panicked by the scene in front of them, the dense rain of arrows almost all fell on the shields and bunkers, and a group of soldiers took the opportunity to burrow into the bunkers and let the other side shoot.

Aguli commanded the soldiers to shoot for a long time, except for a few unlucky ghosts, Jiang Qiao's side was almost unharmed, and he was even more angry in his heart, commanding a group of barbarian warriors and roaring: "They have few people, kill them for me, and hack these damned Huangji people to death." ”

"Kill~"

A group of barbarian warriors threw away their bows and arrows, drew their sabers, and rode their horses towards the low mountain, but before they could get close to the low mountain, the previous scene happened again.

Around the mountain, countless small holes have already been dug, and a piece of war horses has fallen down, and a group of people are turning over on their backs, and there are constantly screams or roars of barbarians, mixed with some pleading.

"These people don't have a long memory. Jiang Wan shook his head, waved his hand, and under the leadership of Wang Hai, a group of soldiers appeared again and fired arrows at these barbarians again.

The barbarians below the mountain, some abandoned their horses and began to charge towards the mountain, some began to fight back with bows and arrows, but more began to turn around.

One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, one after another setbacks, has made many barbarians begin to lose fear, Jiang Wan watched the angry Aguli start to retreat under the crowd, and a smile flashed in the corner of his eyes.

In the distance, at the pass, Yeluqi had already begun to order people to push down the falling rocks and giant trees, blocking the pass, and also blocking the retreat of these barbarians, and they lost this battle from the beginning.

Lord, it's time to kill now!" Wang Hai stood up from behind the bunker with an excited face, looked at the barbarians who were fleeing in embarrassment, and waved the war knife in his hand fiercely.

"There's no rush. Jiang Wan shook his head: "My soldiers, but they are all treasures, don't talk about 3,000 barbarians, 30,000 barbarians for me, I feel a loss, continue to release arrows! ”

Under the suppression of Jiang Qiao, the barbarians under the cliff hid on the low mountain and did not kill them, but continued to run along the low mountain in the direction of the pass, and released arrows at the same time.

Although the barbarians have lost their courage, even if they are frustrated one after another, the number of people is now several times or even more than ten times that of Jiang Weak, and it is unwise to kill them at this moment.

On the cliff on the side of the pass, Yeluqi had ordered people to block the pass with falling rocks and sassholes, and seeing that the barbarians sent people to clean up, an order was given, and countless rocks were smashed down, and the flesh and blood of the barbarian warriors who wanted to clean up the pass were scattered.

Jiang Wan led the men and horses to approach the pass, and the arrows never stopped, but the gap between the numbers of the two sides was too large, so that even if they suffered setbacks one after another and their morale was low, but in terms of numbers, the barbarians still had an absolute advantage, but the morale had been lost, and this advantage might become a disadvantage.

"Stop. Jiang Weak waved his hand, and a group of soldiers quickly stopped firing arrows, the barbarians in the chaos may not have noticed, but Jiang Weak had already found that the strength of the arrows shot by the soldiers had begun to decline, and the range and frequency were also decreasing, and the physical strength of the soldiers had begun to wear out.

"Go!" Jiang Miao turned his head, looked at the common man who was proficient in barbarian dialect, and said in a deep voice: "Don't lose the majesty of my imperial country, after this battle, this official will be rewarded." ”

"Whoa!"

After agreeing, he quickly came down from the mountain, and shouted at a group of barbarians in barbarian language: "Barbarian warriors, my lord has something to say. ”

Looking at a group of barbarians who gradually calmed down, the man said loudly: "Originally, my lord was going to wipe out all the others, but God has the virtue of a good life, and he is preparing to open the net and only punish the evil, and my lord has said that those who cut off the head of Aguli will continue to be shaded by our horse city, and not only can they continue to trade in our horse city, but also can pay grain and hundreds of stones." ”

When many barbarians heard this, their eyes at Aguli became unkind, and the man continued: "Before noon, if you can't hand over Aguli's head, then my lord will no longer show mercy, where to go, I hope you warriors think deeply. ”

After speaking, he ignored the reaction of those barbarians, turned around directly, and returned to the low mountain, Jiang Weak also asked everyone to hurry up and rest, if these barbarians were not provoked for a while, I am afraid that there would be another fight.

However, Jiang Weak obviously overestimated the cohesion of the Aguli tribe, after all, Aguli's tribe has only risen in recent years, and many people in the tribe were snatched from other tribes.

"What do you want to do!?" Aguli looked at the gaze of these people, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and the cronies around him hurriedly protected Aguli, but in this way, it was a sign of weakness, and the momentum of the barbarians, who were still a little hesitant, suddenly rose with Aguli's retreat.

"Kill him!" In the crowd, I don't know who it was, let out a loud shout, and a sharp arrow shot one of Agul's cronies, which also kicked off the infighting.

"Kill!"

On the low mountain, looking at the barbarian warriors who were still robes not long ago, but now they are fighting together as if they have a common hatred, Dong Ping's eyes flashed with amazement, and he turned his head to Jiang Wan and saluted deeply: "The lord is clever, and his subordinates are obedient." ”

"It's this person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Jiang Wan found a piece of bluestone and sat down, looked at the good show below, shook his head and said: "Although the number of people is heavy, but the hearts of the people are different, homeopathic can kill the enemy together, but in the event of a setback, it will become a plate of loose sand, this person is undefeated, where is the reason?"

To deal with Aguli, it is not a temporary idea, as early as when he was dormant in Macheng before, Jiang Qiao had already studied Aguli's power, and he naturally knew the shortcomings of Aguli's forces, otherwise even if he was confident, it would be impossible to take hundreds of people to compete with other people's 3,000 cavalry, and if he was not careful, he would be easily killed, and the risk was too great.

"The lord really wants to cooperate with the Aguli tribe?" Dong Ping looked at Jiang Qiao cautiously: "My subordinates are worried that they will repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

"Use it still to use, after this battle, the vitality of the Aguli tribe is greatly damaged, it is the weakest time, even if there is no them, we still have to do this war horse trade, instead of raising another wolf, it is better to continue to use this sick wolf. ”

"The lord is far-sighted. When Dong Ping heard this, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, if this is the case, this horse city is not only not a dangerous place, but a cornucopia!

"Don't say these are vain, send someone to count those war horses in a while, keep those who can be used, and make minced meat if they can't be used, after this battle, Ma Cheng needs to increase some troops. Jiang Qiao said with a smile.

He has a school establishment, and now it is only less than two hundred people, and there is not much that can be done, and after this battle, he must successively complete this school establishment, and have an army in hand, in order to better deter these barbarians.

"Whoa!"

As the two talked, the battle below became more and more intense, and Aguli had already inserted several arrows into his body, and he still couldn't figure it out, he originally came to find Jiang Weak, but in the end, he fought with his own people inexplicably?

"You're crazy!" Aguli slashed a former henchman warrior with a single sword, looking at the group of barbarian warriors around him who pounced on him with red eyes, and at the moment there were fewer and fewer people left by his side to fight with him, and an endless sense of grievance rose in his heart, and roared at the people around him.

"Huh~"

An arrow pierced Aguli's throat, Aguli's eyes widened, the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, his hands clasped around his neck, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"Puff puff~"

Just at this moment, several blades pierced into his body, the burly body trembled uncontrollably, a pair of eyes stared at the low mountain, a fierce barbarian warrior came to his side, the surrounding barbarians retreated independently, and saw this barbarian warrior snort, his hand raised his knife, and cut off Aguli's head.

The barbarian warrior picked up the head from the ground, strode out of the crowd, stepped on the horse trap on the ground and came to the foot of the low mountain, threw Aguli's head to the ground, knelt on one knee, and clenched his right hand into his chest.

Jiang Weak got up from the bluestone, led everyone out of the bunker to the bottom of the mountain, looked at the barbarian man kneeling in front of him, Jiang Weak stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Good archery skills, what's your name?"

"Back to my lord, I am digging bald, and I am willing to be loyal to my lord. The dug bald said in jerky imperial Chinese.

"Very good, from today onwards, you are the leader of this tribe, and you can continue the previous trade, but this official hopes that the matter of Aguli will not happen again. Jiang Qiao looked at the barbarian warriors in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"As long as the lord gives an order, he is willing to bring the tribe to naturalization. He said in a deep voice.

"It's good to have this heart, but if you want to naturalize, not everyone can do it, you need to prove your worth first. Jiang Qiao was very satisfied with the attitude of digging baldness, but it was impossible for him to agree to naturalization.

Even if it experiences this defeat, the tribe still has a population of more than 6,000, and if it is incorporated into Macheng all of a sudden, the administrative pressure will inevitably increase greatly, and now the garrison of Macheng is weak, once it is difficult to enter the city, even if Jiang is weak, there is no way to suppress it in a short time.

"Please make it clear!" said the man.

"Macheng needs a population, a lot of population, I heard that there are a lot of Huangji slaves on the grassland, my Macheng is willing to exchange salt and iron, in addition, women and children can also be called, and the war horse business will continue to be done, but in the future, we can use weapons and food to exchange, and when the population of Macheng exceeds 10,000 households, I will not only allow your tribe to naturalize, but can even make you an official and make you a general. Jiang said with a smile.

"Master Xie!" said Dubald bowing towards Jiang Weak.

"Take your people back. Jiang Qiao glanced at the barbarians who were still alive in the distance, and smiled: "Be careful of being attacked by others." ”

"Yes, dig bald and retire. "The dwarf once again performed a grassland ritual to Jiang Weak, and then commanded the people to start cleaning the pass.

Yeluqi got Jiang Qiao's order, and had already come down from the pass, Jiang Huang asked Meng Dan to command the people who came with him to start cleaning up the battlefield, burying the trapped horse pits, collecting the undead war horses, and transferring wooden carts from the city to start carrying the corpses of the war horses, as for the corpses of the barbarians, in order to avoid the plague, Jiang Wan let people bury them on the spot.

It wasn't until the evening that Di Bald led people to re-dredge the pass, and after saying goodbye to Jiang Weak, he left, and Jiang Weak did not leave until the barbarians completely left, and then let Wang Hai and Yeluqi take the soldiers who had been hidden in the mountain down the mountain to help clean up the scene.

"Lord, this big victory, my Macheng side killed seventeen people, thirty-eight wounded, according to the lord's orders, the deceased's family gave a beard, and the wounded were also sent to the hospital, but this time against the barbarians, my Macheng dispatched only six hundred people, but with a slight injury, defeated three thousand barbarian knights, and finally returned alive, but five hundred people, can be called a big victory!"

Early the next morning, when the casualties were counted, Dong Ping still didn't believe it, saying that 600 people were dispatched, but in fact, only the more than 180 cronies brought by Jiang Qiao really killed the enemy, and the remaining 400 people were those who raised shields to block arrows, and almost all of the casualties were these people.

"Let's talk about the harvest. Jiang Wan waved his hand, the casualties were reported to him yesterday, and what he wanted to know more now was the harvest of yesterday's battle.

"Yes. Dong Ping faced Jiang weak at this moment, but he didn't dare to be careful, and hurriedly said: "There are more than 300 intact war horses, and the others were either taken away by the barbarians, or were shot to death or broken horses' hooves. ”

"No?" After staring for a long time, seeing that Dong Ping didn't speak, Jiang Miao turned his head to look at him.

"Uh...... Nope. Dong Ping looked at Jiang Wan in puzzlement, thinking carefully about what else was wrong and missing.

"What about the weapons of those barbarians, and what about the horse leather?" Jiang Qiao looked at Dong Ping.

"Ma Ge should still be on Tudang's side, as for the weapons, ......" Dong Ping looked at Jiang Liang hesitantly: "The weapons of the barbarians are rough, far less well-equipped than our Imperial Extreme Country, what is the use?"

"What's the use?" Jiang Wan looked at Dong Ping with some distress: "In other words, you didn't take it back?"

"Nope. Dong Ping was a little numb by Jiang Qiao's gaze, so he could only stubbornly say: "Lord, what's the use of those things?"

"It's better to go back to the furnace and rebuild it as an iron ingot than if you throw it away, not to mention these equipment, we don't use it, but I don't know how many tribes on this grassland are willing to ask for it, hoard it and find a seller, and you can exchange it for a few cattle and sheep for me, let alone a few cattle and sheep, what's the use?" Jiang Miao rubbed his temples:

"We have to live, so many people in the city have to feed, and we have to recruit soldiers, all of them are as generous and bold as Brother Qiu, I'm afraid that I, the lord of the horse city, will starve to death in a short time, so how did you manage not to lose money when you guarded the business of Zhang Rome City for Mrs. Guo before?"

"The lord forgives the sins, and his subordinates will order someone to find them. Dong Ping hurriedly said.

This time, Jiang Weak broke the army of 3,000 barbarians with 600 people, which is a great achievement, not to mention shaking the government and the opposition, but it can also make Jiang Weak famous, at least it can make many people who doubt Jiang Weak's ability shut up, and if he wants to be promoted in the future, he will naturally have something to say, and if Jiang Weak can go further, he can also officially enter the official career.

Dong Ping is working hard here, Jiang Weak is taking Yeluqi, Wang Hai, Meng Dan, and Yelucai to wander around the city at the moment, yesterday's big victory, quickly stabilized Jiang Weak's position in this horse city, and the market became prosperous and lively again, this is one of the hub cities between the barbarian emperor and the polar country, and the traders who come and go do not know each other will come to say hello and mix their faces.

For a long time in the future, he will be the master of this horse city, this feeling, Jiang Wan is no stranger, but for Wang Hai and the four of them, it is the first time, one by one, the waist pole is straight, with the majestic body, it looks quite mighty.

"This wall needs to be repaired. A group of five people walked all the way to the edge of the city wall, looking at the city wall that lacked a big gap, Jiang Wan shook his head, yesterday's victory, it was Aguli who lightly attacked the enemy, and everything about himself was exposed in Jiang Qiao's eyes, but he didn't know anything about Jiang Weak.

Therefore, he was ambushed by Jiang Weak in the middle of the road, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and even his own life was gone, but Jiang Weak didn't think that the forces on the entire grassland were such brainless people.

In fact, on the grassland, there has been no shortage of combat-oriented talents from ancient times to the present, in fact, if Aguli is not so blatant to write hatred on his face, if the three thousand barbarian iron cavalry yesterday was a sudden attack, Jiang Liang would not be able to stop it at all.

This is also the reason why Jiang Qiao is determined to clean up Aguli, after all, on the side of the couch, sleeping with a fierce beast that can bring heavy damage to himself at any time, no one will feel good, it is better to provoke him to attack in advance and plot a little.

Now that the threat has been removed for the time being, it is time to consider the defense of the political system of Ma Cheng, he cannot put the hope of every fight on the incompetence of his opponent, and he must have enough deterrent power in his own hands.
