Xiao Kai stared excitedly at the Uzi army in the distance, his heart was extremely nervous, this was the first time he commanded a battle as a city commander, and his heart was already uncontrollable excited. Don't look at Xiao Kai looking at people with a straight face and one eye all day long, but his inner anxiety is no less than others, especially as a deputy general, he is worried that he will lose Zhang Xiaowu's people if he does not command well, and he is also worried that it will be difficult for him to convince the public. But fortunately, in this first battle, he killed hundreds of enemy soldiers, made a good start, and gave him a lot of courage and courage.

Zhang Xiaowu saw Xiao Kai's nervousness, he looked up at the sun, and found that the sun was very big today, the sun was very sunny, and after a short time shining on people's faces, the skin began to be oily. He laughed, and said with a plan in his heart, "On such a hot day, most of them will rest, after all, they have just arrived in Mucheng on an expedition. ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned, this war has just started, will they rest?

"They're not fighting?" Xiao Kai frowned and said, "This is a ...... of this blow."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "When you are in Tucheng, there will definitely be a Wuhuan Governor team behind the Uzi people, if there is no Dou team, the Uzi people will never be so heroic." ”

Still not convinced, they saw from afar that the generals of Uzi were discussing how to fight, and after waiting for a while, they saw that the Uzi people began to blow their horns again. Everyone thought that the Uzi army was preparing to attack the city again, but they saw that the whole Uzi army retreated a thousand paces, and then began to set up camp.

Hu Li gave a thumbs up and said, "General, I'm convinced, you are like a god." ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "I'm not like a god, I'm very familiar with the Uzi people, that's why I said that." Actually, the Uzi people can't fight, they can dance, by the way, wait a minute, let the soldiers stand at the head of the city and watch the big show. ”

"What's the show?"

"The Uzbes dance, they get married, they have children, they dance at funerals, they dance at sacrifices, they dance before dinner, they dance if they have nothing to do." Zhang Xiaowu looked at the camp in the distance and laughed, "If you are interested, you can go to the city to see how the Uzi people dance." This group of black monkeys likes to jump on the grave the most. ”

Everyone didn't understand the meaning of the grave jumping, but it didn't prevent them from watching the excitement, the distance between the two sides was four thousand steps, this distance is not close, not far, no weapon can reach this distance, and if the other party opens the city gate to attack, it will be discovered in time.

But after the east gate of the wooden city was opened, the Uzi people did not react.

Seki Cheng personally took the guard battalion out of the city to collect the arrows shot, and slaughtered the undead Uzi soldiers, and then returned to the barracks, but the Uzi camp was still unmoved, not knowing what to think. And after the Han army collected the arrows and returned, the Uzi sent a bunch of people out, and they pulled the corpses away.

The soldiers were going to shoot the corpse collection team of the Uzi people, but they were forbidden by Zhang Xiaowu's order, and many people were puzzled, Zhang Xiaowu said: "The rules of the battlefield are that arrows are not allowed to shoot at any corpse collector, including both the enemy and the enemy. Some veterans came out to explain the reason to the newcomers, after all, many people don't know this rule. They put down their bows and arrows and watched as the Uzi corpse collection team dragged away more than 500 corpses one by one, and there was a faint sense of cruelty in their hearts.

Xiao Kai's defending troops were not wounded soldiers in Jincheng, Zhang Xiaowu intended to train the defenders of Mucheng, and it was most suitable to temper the fighting spirit of his army with the blood of the enemy, and the defense of the city was definitely the best battlefield to hone new recruits. After this siege, he also found that the eyes of many soldiers began to sharpen.

Chen Qing asked Zhang Xiaowu for instructions: "Uzi was defeated in a battle, it is better to kill him in one go and leave no piece of armor." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "No, I still have to use them to train the troops, the attack of the Uzi people can withstand it, but if the Wuhuan people come, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand it." You see those Uzi people, who don't even have catapults, what are they afraid of? ”

Thinking of the catapult, Chen Qing was afraid for a while, and he said: "If it weren't for the arrival of winter, Jincheng would have been smashed by the catapult a long time ago." Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly asked the reason, and Chen Qing smiled bitterly: "The catapult almost broke the city several times, and it was only by relying on the sergeants to resist their lives that they could hold the golden city." Later, the military advisor came up with a clever plan, he took advantage of the cold weather to splash water into ice overnight, no matter how powerful the Wuhuan stone cannon was, it couldn't attack our ice wall. ”

In the evening, the Uzis held a sacrifice ceremony for the more than 700 corpses in the barracks, and to the sound of drums, all the Uzis began to dance a sad and cheerful dance......

Xiao Kai and the others couldn't cry or laugh, pointed to the distance, and said dumbly: "This ...... This ......"

"That's what I mean by grave jumping." Zhang Xiaowu shrugged, "We often saw it when we were in Tucheng, it wasn't very interesting, and the dancing was not good-looking. ”

"Yes, they usually do." Chen Qing interjected, "We met a few times when we were in Jincheng, but they weren't as ...... as they are today Arouse. ”

"That's because they don't have a Warlord behind them." Zhang Xiaowu laughed and said to everyone: "They will dance for about half an hour, and after the jump, they will bury the body, and then there will be nothing to see." ”

Xiao Kai said regretfully: "I thought they were strong, but it turned out to be nothing more than that." ”

"So this battle, we have to win big." Zhang Xiaowu turned around and shouted, "Do you have confidence?" ”

"Have faith!" All the soldiers echoed.

The ritual of the Uz dance lasted for an hour, after which a group of sorcerers who accompanied the army kissed the foreheads of each deceased and wrapped them in a white cloth. Subsequently, they buried the bodies in the camp and buried them beside them.

This operation puzzled the Han army watching from a distance, and felt that the customs of the Uzi people were simply too strange, and they actually buried the body next to them. Not only did they jump on the grave, but they also lived on the grave, which was difficult for the Han people to accept.

The well-informed Usong told everyone that the habits of the Uzi people are not strange, and even more strange is a country south of Lingnan called the Imbedu people. The Bedu people would wash their dead relatives and stuff them into jars, sprinkle them with lots of sea salt, and store them in their yards.

In normal times, these pickled corpses of relatives are only decorations, but once a distinguished guest comes to their home, the Inbedu people will bring out the cured meat of the corpse of their relatives to entertain the guests, showing the most respectful etiquette.

"If you have the opportunity to go to a country south of Lingnan, don't go to the country of Inbedu, let alone go to the house of Inbedu, otherwise you will eat the cured meat of the dead." Urson admonished.

Zhang Xiaowu was surprised: "Really fake? Does anyone like to eat the flesh of the dead, or the meat of their own relatives, or pickled? ”

"I read it in a book, but I don't know if it's true or not, because I haven't been to Imbedu either—I haven't even been to the south of Yangzhou. ”

Xiao Kai asked, "What will they do tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "I don't know, I'm not a god, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and they can't change their tricks." Tomorrow, you will change a group of sergeants to defend the city, and you will still be using the old to lead the new, and the old soldiers and new soldiers will be combined. In addition, those who are capable go up and those who are weak go down, and those who have outstanding performance in defending the city will be promoted immediately. I don't care if he comes from the old battalion or the army is broken or wounded, in my case, I only look at ability. ”

"Whoa."
