Chapter 234: Persecution (33)
The night is slowly falling, and the cold in the wild is even more pressing.
Rows of cowhide tents had been erected on the snowfield, but it was difficult to isolate the chill from the tents crowded in the tents.
The wails of the wound sounded loud and low until they slowly fell silent.
The village has been taken down.
Under the strict orders of Zhi Bihe, seven or eight green wolves rode hundred-man teams to attack in turn. Suppress the wall with bows and arrows, then use slaves to dig through the stone walls, and finally rush in with two layers of iron armor.
The defenders also resisted to the end, and the defenders of forty or fifty people fought until more than half of the casualties were lost, and they also set fire to the grain depot, and then they escaped from the Renmao Village. Maybe there are still some people who can survive this cold night and escape to the next military village.
The green wolf cavalry really attacked and fought hard, including the auxiliary slave soldiers, and left nearly 300 people dead and wounded.
In this era, although the army is declared to be hundreds of thousands at every turn. The Turks are also known as the Eight Kings, and there are more than 400,000 wolves riding in Ashina's family. But in an army, the warriors who can really fight this kind of tough battle are actually extremely limited. It is the backbone and backbone of an army. The losses were close to three hundred, which was already extremely heavy.
The deacon Bijia set out on this expedition, known as 10,000 horsemen, including slave soldiers, there were more than 20,000. But this kind of person who can rush and kill immediately and enter with heavy armor is basically equivalent to the Hengan Jiaqi of Hengan Yingyang Mansion, and the Mayi Yue of Mayi Yingyang Mansion. The two most elite armor soldiers of the Eagle Yang Mansion add up to only six battalions.
The Zhibi family is equivalent to the elite of a whole battalion under the Renmao Village!
It can also be seen from this that Xu Le's destruction of a battalion of horses in the land of gods and horses, what kind of record level is it, which shocked the entire horse-yi and attracted everyone's attention, which is really a matter of course.
In this era, it is basically these elites who have undertaken the most important combat missions, and they are assault forces in the field, and they can be used as dead soldiers when attacking fortifications. The rest of the battalion leaders basically undertake auxiliary tasks such as garrisoning, guarding, patrolling, and maintaining grain routes. At the time of the field war, the role is to maintain the battle line and maintain the formation, so that these elite people can launch a decisive impact without any worries.
In this era, even if the Great Sui Empire can equip hundreds of thousands of troops, it cannot make the whole army receive the same high-intensity training, so that the whole army can receive the same various military supplies as these soldiers. At all times, these selectors are the most valuable military resource.
In a battle, the other battalion leaders lost thousands, and there was a way to recover as soon as possible. But the loss of the people who chose the front is enough to make every commander of the army feel heartache!
In the past, the Turkic invasions never fought hard in this mountain fortress, but this time, they used their lives to gnaw down the village. And in front, along this pathway, there are at least a dozen camps that need to be taken down.
Even if the green wolf rider who is as fierce as the stubborn family is demoralized at the moment, it is extremely difficult to cheer up. But Zhi Bihe is really too prestigious, as long as he gives an order, these green wolf riders will still keep moving forward and fight to the end. Until the combat power is completely exhausted, until these direct forces of the Zhibi family completely disintegrate in the ice and snow in the clouds.
At that time, even if Zhibihe and Zhibisi can return safely, it will be difficult to sit firmly in the position of one of the following eight kings' tents of the Ashina family!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Renmao Village, the fire in the grain depot has been quickly extinguished, and more than a dozen stones of grain have been snatched down. All the remnants of the buildings in the village are filled with the smell of blood and fire.
But these dilapidated buildings are crowded with the green wolf riders of the Zhibi family, and they fall asleep one by one. Renmao Village is too small, even if it is almost overcrowded, it is only stuffed with hundreds of green wolves to ride, and the rest of the people and horses can only suffer in the snowfield.
The largest building is naturally reserved for Zhibihe and Zhibisi.
On such a cold night, Zhi Bihe never slept, walked to the wall, and looked at the mountains to the south. The passage winds through the mountains. Renmao Village is just the northernmost military village, and Cloud City is still far away.
After standing with his father for a long time in the cold night, he finally whispered: "Father, hurry back to the house and rest." It's too cold............"
Zhi Bihe said softly: "How many sons have been killed and injured? ”
Zhi Bisi Li hesitated for a moment, and said: "More than 140 dead, more than 130 wounded." In this weather, it is also difficult for the injured to survive. ”
Zhi Bihe sneered: "These Han soldiers in Heng'an Mansion are really hard to bite, and they are really fighting to the end!" The Han people are known as the elite soldiers of Mayi, and over the years, our Zhibi family has learned enough! ”
Zhibi Si Rinne asked: "The front is Renzi Village, do you still want to fight?" ”
Zhi Bihe shook his head: "What else are you fighting?" If the fight continues, the Zhibi family will be exhausted. Just wait here for Liu Wuzhou's arrival! ”
Zhi Bisi was stunned: "Liu Wuzhou? ”
Zhi Bihe sneered: "The Zhi Bi family has already put on a posture of doing whatever it takes, even if it is fighting in this ice and snow, it will oppress the clouds. There is Wang Rengong in the south, how can Liu Wuzhou not come? Always solve one side first, and then deal with the other. Liu Wuzhou is a smart person, maybe he is on the road now! ”
Zhi Bi Sili suddenly understood a little, and asked: "Father, you have always wanted to trade with Liu Wuzhou?" ”
Zhi Bihe looked around, father and son talked at night, and the guards were far away. Only then did he nod and said in a low voice: "The Han family is infighting, we don't get the biggest benefit from it, why do we risk death to go through this experience?" Wang Rengong still has some confidence, and the benefits given are not enough. But look at what you can get from Liu Wuzhou! Every time the Han family fights, we must be a strange commodity to live in! ”
Only then did Zhi Bi Sili understand his father's thoughts, and first obtained a large amount of military resources from Princess Yicheng in the name of containing Li Yuan in Hedong. In fact, it is to oppress the two heroes of Mayi County with troops to obtain the greatest benefits. After this winter, the two heroes of Ma Yi may decide the winner, and if they wave their troops into at that time, they may miss the opportunity!
Every bit of benefit has been used to the extreme, and it is this kind of mental calculation that made his father grow the small Zhibi Department at the foot of the Golden Mountain into one of the Eight Turkic Kings' Tents!
Zhi Bisili muttered: "In that case, why do you have to fight to the death? ”
Zhi Bihe shook his head tiredly, as if he was still a little dissatisfied with his son: "If you don't lose hundreds of lives, how can you explain to Princess Yicheng?" If you don't lose hundreds of lives, how can you make Liu Wuzhou believe that the executive department has been released? ”
He turned around and patted his son on the shoulder: "Sili, in this world, on the grassland, if you have a softer heart, you can't survive." The Zhibi family relied on the lives of countless sons and daughters to get their current status. In the future, I will rely on the lives of countless sons and daughters to make the Zhibi family go further. The golden wolf banner of the Turks may not be held by the ruling family! The Han people say that mercy is not in charge of the army, and for the Zhibi family, the heart is soft-hearted, that is, it will not survive! ”
In the night, Zhi Bihe's eyes were as faint as wolf eyes: "The next time there is such a move as Shu'er Huo, you will personally cut off his head!" Otherwise, you will not be able to inherit the inheritance of being a father............ You know, I have other sons! ”
Zhi Bisi trembled all over, hung his head, and pinched the jade pendant on his waist with one hand, and his green tendons were protruding. But his voice was very respectful: "Father, the son knows." ”
Zhibihe nodded silently, and turned to the south again: "Liu Wuzhou should also come............ But I don't know if at the beginning of the meeting, does this Liu Wuzhou want to fight first, or talk to the old man first? I haven't been in battle for ten years, but I really want to learn about this Han people's elite soldiers in the clouds............ See just how good they really are! ”
