After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Hao disarmed all the Wuhuan captives and gathered them together, allowing the Han soldiers to surround them.

The weapons in the hands of the Han army, against the backdrop of the sun and snow, became even more dazzling, making these captives terrified.

They felt the killing intent of these Han Dynasty people in front of them, and thought that the Han Dynasty people were going to kill themselves, so they knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, begging for mercy.

Zhang Hao asked the soldiers around him who knew Wuhuan to be the translator, and he said to the captives: "I am Zhang Hao, the general of the Han army that defeated you. ”

After the soldiers translated, the captives all turned in the direction where Zhang Hao was, kept kowtowing, and said words that Zhang Hao did not understand.

"Spare your life! The general spares his life! The soldier translated the words of the captives.

However, Zhang Hao also knew what they meant when he looked at them, so he shouted: "Spare your life? Do you know how much of a crime you committed in the Han Dynasty? How dare you ask me to spare your lives! ”

After the soldier's translation, the captives' heads knocked faster, and after one of the captives had finished speaking, all the captives followed him and said the same thing.

Zhang Hao asked the soldiers, "What do they mean?" ”

"General Qiyu, these Wuhuan people said that they are willing to serve the general as the master, and beg the general not to kill them." The soldier replied.

Zhang Hao was very satisfied when he heard it, he didn't mention it, these captives were quite good, and they said it themselves.

Actually, this is not surprising. The jungle eats the strong, and everyone can only survive by following the strong. Tribes fight each other, and the winner wins everything the loser has to offer, including their loyalty.

I don't want to see restoration forces after the change of dynasty in China. As long as the people on the grassland are strong enough to protect their masters, they can survive.

This is also the reason why the tribe like Qiu Liju is now dominant, and he can quickly dominate all the Wuhuan tribes, because he is strong enough.

Why before Cao Cao defeated Wu Huan, they were extremely arrogant, and after defeating Wu Huan, they were desperate, it was also because they felt that Cao Cao was strong.

This is also the reason why the nomads of the grassland were all dogs during the strong period of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the nomads of the grassland were all wolves during the weak period of the Central Plains Dynasty.

However, Zhang Hao still felt that something was missing, and he asked loudly: "If you take me as the master, then you have to face your former clansmen, what should you do?" ”

The captives shouted in unison, which translated: "We will prove our loyalty to our master with their blood." ”

This was not stressful for the captives. Although they are all called Wuhuan, those people are not from the same tribe as them, and there will be no psychological pressure to do things.

Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction: "I look forward to you atoning for your sins with your military exploits." ”

Zhang Hao's answer made the captives ecstatic, so that the new master in front of them accepted their loyalty, and they could continue to live.

"Integrate these Wuhuan cavalry into the Chinese army, and I will personally lead them. The Chinese army allocated another 1,500 men to form cavalry, and let General Qin lead it. "In this way, both the Chinese army and the vanguard of the Han army have 5,000 cavalry.

Zhang Hao called Qin Wen over: "General Qin, I have a task to hand over to you here." ”

Qin Wen arched his hand and said, "Please give the general an order." ”

"It's very simple, give back to the other in the way of the other. You led the vanguard cavalry and went west along the Wuxian Mountains to the north, and found me the grain and grass camp of the Wuhuan army, that is, the pasture for cattle and sheep. When you find it, kill all the animals for me! Before you go, find a few laughs among the Wuhuan people who surrendered, and let them take you there. ”

"The last will obey."

After a day of repairs, Zhang Hao headed north again. At this moment, the Han army is still more than a hundred miles away from Wangping City. If it is faster, the Han army should be able to reach the outside of Wangping the day after tomorrow.

……

"Give me death!" Gao stabbed a black soldier in the chest, then kicked him away with a forceful kick. This is the last Wuhuan soldier on the northern side of the city.

The defenders of the city just now had a fierce battle with the Wuhuan army, and although they were defeated this time, the defenders had already suffered heavy losses.

The city was littered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides, and the snow on the top of the city had long since melted with hot blood.

The first few times as the slaves of the servant army, they played a good role in the task of consuming the number and physical strength of the defenders. Since yesterday, the Wuhuan army has been attacking the city with their main force.

The defenders who fought hard again and again were no match for the Wuhuan soldiers who had been recuperating for several days. They easily climbed the tower and engaged the defenders.

After a fierce battle, Gao You repelled the attacks of the Wuhuan people again and again. It's just that there are fewer and fewer young people in the city, and it is unknown whether they can withstand the next wave of attacks.

Unlike Gao You, who felt powerless about the bleak future, Qiu Liju now felt that the future was very good, and at most, next time, he would be able to break through the city named Wangping in front of him.

Qiu Liju had done a detailed investigation before, and knew that the current place called Pingzhou, the total number of defenders was only 20,000, and they were scattered in various places, and there were only 10,000 in the entire Liaodong.

And he has already sent the greedy king to wreak havoc in the hinterland of Pingzhou, believing that the main force of the Han army has been pinned down in the south.

As long as you occupy this city, you will have a foothold. If you go south and attack the main force of the Han army with the greedy king, as long as the main force of the Han army is defeated, the entire Pingzhou will soon be prostrate under its own iron hooves.

Because of this, today he rarely asked his subordinates to end the siege early and take a good rest. In the same way, the defenders in Wangping City also got a brief respite.

A girl who was no more than sixteen years old was bandaging Gao You's wounds, and she couldn't help but choke when she looked at his scarred body.

These wounds are not only new, but also old ones that have burst through the fierce fighting. Now there is no condition, or can only be dealt with simply.

Gao You said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to defend this city." Thank you for bandaging me, there are a few wounded soldiers over there, you can go and help him deal with it. ”

The girl was still crying, and some were speechless, and after giving Gao You a salute, she turned and left.

Gao You slowly leaned against the city wall, and when he touched it, he grinned in pain. He looked at the back of the girl leaving, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Now if you want to defend Wangping City, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. Gao You completely imagined what would happen to the girl and the people in the city once the city was broken.

Knowing that he couldn't keep it, he still had to keep it, but the result of guarding it was still not able to keep it, which was the most painful thing in Gao You's heart.

He was now extremely eager for Zhang Hao's army to come over quickly, and he kept praying in his heart, and fell asleep unconsciously.

"General, General! The Wuhuan people have begun to attack the city again! ”

"What?" Gao You asked in a daze.

The soldier shook his shoulders and shouted again: "General, those Wuhuan people are attacking again!" ”

Gao You was awakened by the movements and shouts of the soldiers, endured the sharp pain from all over his body, and looked outside the city, only to see a black area outside the city, which was more than the number of Wuhuan people who attacked the city yesterday.

"Hurry up, the soldiers are ready to fight!" Gao You shouted loudly.

"No!"

Gao was stunned, this voice sounded more than half smaller than before. He looked around, looking at the sparse soldiers at the head of the city, and felt his nose sour, and tears fell unconsciously.

Too many people have died in battle these days.

With minimal casualties, the Wuhuan army soon attacked the city and fought with the defenders. The defenders gathered together and put up stubborn resistance.

However, as the number of Wuhuan soldiers increased, there were no more people crowded on the city. They forced the remaining defenders back into a corner of the road, and the others rushed straight down the city.

A group of Wuhuan soldiers came to the city gate and began to move away the stones blocking the city gate. and the other part went straight to the people of the city, like a wolf into a flock.

Since there were no more obstacles in the city, the people did not even have a simple shelter in the face of the wolf-like Wuhuan soldiers. They were like flocks of sheep being driven, constantly fleeing behind them.

In this process, the Wuhuan soldiers caught up with the people who were caught up in everything, some were killed directly, and some died in pain after being brutally tortured.

Finally, the people fled to the end. The walls that had previously hindered the Wuhuan soldiers and protected them were now their dead end.

Everyone looked at the Wuhuan soldiers with a sinister smile on their faces and kept surrounding them.

At this time, the girl who had bandaged Gao's wound picked up a stone on the ground, and somehow got the courage to throw it at one of the Wuhuan soldiers.

Impartially, it hit him right in one eye. The Wuhuan soldier screamed loudly and squatted down in pain, and the hand covering his eyes was red with blood.

The girl stood in front of everyone and shouted loudly: "Folks, instead of waiting for death, it is better to fight with these beasts!" The officers and soldiers in the city, as well as our relatives, all died to protect us, even if we die, we can't let their blood be shed in vain! ”

"Be careful!" An old man with gray hair reminded loudly. It's just a step too late.

The Wuhuan soldier who had been smashed by the girl rushed forward, his bloody face hideous and terrifying. While the girl was still talking, he rushed behind the girl, grabbed her hair, and stabbed the knife directly into the girl's back.

At this moment, in his heart, from the endless resentment, he stabbed one after another, more than 20 times in a row. The girl was long gone, but she was still shining at her corpse.

Finally, as if he had had vented enough, he cut off the girl's head with a knife, and tied her hair around his waist. When he returned, he was going to make this head into a wine vessel, so that the girl's soul would be cursed forever.

The tragic death of the girl finally inspired the last trace of blood in the hearts of the people. Women, the elderly, and even children each picked up the weapons that could be used around them, stones and sticks, and with their bare hands, they launched a counterattack against the fierce Wuhuan soldiers in front of them.

The Wuhuan soldiers felt that this was very ridiculous, whether it was on the grassland or here, these were people who were dying in front of them, and they were all weak people who should bow down to the strong.

The rebellion of the weak, in the eyes of the strong, is as ridiculous as a sheep trying to kill a wolf. They met them without fear.

A Wuhuan soldier smirked and stabbed a knife into an old man's chest, but when he tried to pull the knife out, he was caught by the old man. He didn't think that even a sheep could kill a wolf.

Behind the old man, several old men, who were also weak, raised the stones in their hands and threw them at the soldier's head, and he was dizzy.

Although the old people were so powerless, but after one, two, three, and dozens of strokes, this Wuhuan soldier finally died in their hands.

And the old man who was killed, still holding the blade in his hand, closed his eyes and died with a smile on his face.
