Human beings, after all, are a cruel species.

A Liao soldier looked down at the tail of the arrow that had been submerged in his chest, and the white arrow feathers had been soaked in blood and turned red, but he was not dead, so he tried his best to climb north, but he tried for a long time, but he didn't climb far.

He looked back at the Song army who had already begun to clean up the battlefield, and there was a sense of despair in his heart, he was hit by an arrow in the front, the feather arrow shot through his chest, and only an arrow tail remained, and he was also a warrior just now, and he used the greatest courage to meet the enemy head-on.

But at this moment, he could even clearly hear his chest making a bellows-like sound between breaths.

He thought of death, but he also thought of life, of his wife and his son and daughter in the little town to the north......

Thinking of this, he struggled to climb north again, but the more he climbed, the weaker he became, and the more he climbed, the softer his body became......

Finally, a Song sergeant walked up to him and said with a kind of excitement, "Hey...... There is also a living one here, the feather arrow pierced through the chest, and it is still alive. ”

Some people also responded: "Then this man's life is really tough, and he was not trampled to death by the horse's hooves." ”

"This arrow is so sharp, you have to keep it."

After speaking, this Song sergeant stepped forward, not to kill or save people, but to take a fancy to the arrow sticking out of his back, directly pulled out his waist knife, and slashed at the arrow shaft stretched out from the back of the Liao soldier with little strength.

The arrow was cut down, Sergeant Song lowered his head and picked it up, put it on the corner of his clothes and wiped it, and said with a smile: "This arrow is good, it is so sharp." ”

Liao Bing, who was crawling on the ground, only felt a sharp pain filling his body, and after a painful wail, he turned his head to look at the smiling Song Bing, and he spoke, his eyes full of desire for life.

"Help Me ......"

"Hey, I can still speak Chinese, but I can't say it accurately, my family Gan Xianggong said it, and the Han people will carry it to treat it, if you are not Han, you don't care, you are unlucky......"

"I'm ...... I'm a mock ......."

"Don't lie, even if you are lucky if grandpa doesn't give you a knife, don't move, grandpa has to rip off your armor, do you have any money on you?"

"Help me, please......" The Liao soldier was obviously a little confused.

"Don't beg, you can't be saved, our own wounded soldiers can't be saved, you lie down well, you can live for a while." As he spoke, Song Bing untied his armor, and also touched him to see if there was any money or anything like that, touched it, and said: "It's a poor ghost, and he doesn't have a copper plate." ”

Di Qing crossed the river with a large army, and more than 17,000 soldiers also joined the ranks of cleaning up the battlefield.

There were men chasing horses everywhere, at least three thousand horses roaming around, and these were Ganchi's most important trophies, and it would take countless men to chase them.

Uguru took the cavalry under his command to capture a lot of people, and only Uguru was the most enthusiastic about the matter of capturing prisoners, fighting for his life on the battlefield, just for this moment after the victory, the rout on the battlefield, Uguru was reluctant to kill, and everything that could be caught had to be caught.

Because he needed slaves to reward him, his MLM organization needed to continue to expand.

Gan Qi even gave all the prisoners to Uguru, as well as some wounded Liao soldiers who were not seriously injured, except for the Han Chinese, of course.

Overjoyed, Uguru thanked Gan Qi for his generosity, and turned around and began to reward his subordinates, you can not eat, but the reward is about to begin, maybe Uguru also has a feeling of "wanting Lao Tzu's team to open", "MLM organization", is in need of this most direct benefit feedback, so that everyone in the organization knows that as long as you work hard to fight, how many slaves there are.

For these Jurchen men, the most valuable thing is the slave, the strong slave, I think most of them do not understand the true meaning of money, nor do they understand the value of arable land, but they know the value of slaves, as long as there are people, there are strong men, there are women with big butts, there is everything in the jungle.

"Chekonu, three, whatever you want."

"Cassiz, two, go pick ......"

"Tiger slave, you, eight!"

……

At this time, fairness and justice were paramount, and the officers of the three battalions were standing next to Uguru, telling Uguru about everyone's performance, and Uguru began to distribute slaves according to his performance, and personally distributed everyone's slaves, which Uguru had to do, and also to show his status, so that everyone knew that all this was rewarded by their leader, Wanyan Uguru.

Slaves, like livestock, are tied together with ropes, and the people who pick slaves are beaming with joy, like picking sheep in the pen, and when they pick their favorite livestock, their smiles are as sincere as children's.

"Tiger slave, you will follow me in the future and become a centurion." Wanyan Uguru is a slave and an honor, this tiger slave is a slave of Uguru, and a slave who performs so well will be qualified to become Uguru's inseparable cronies in the future.

"Thank you, my greatest master."

The tiger slave covered his chest with his hands, knelt on one knee, and offered his most sincere loyalty.

At this time, Ganchi was sitting next to a bonfire, with a freshly cooked string of horse meat and a cold dough in front of him.

Ganchi picked a choice, picked up the bread and began to eat.

Di Qing, who had just crossed the river, was sitting on the side, and he said with a smile on his face: "What, don't eat meat?" ”

Gan Qi shook his head: "The smell of this place makes people can't eat meat. ”

"Haha...... You can eat it in the future, you kid is really good, this battle is good. Di Qing patted Gan Qi's shoulder with his hand and smiled.

Gan Qi also squeezed out a little smile and asked, "Uncle Di, do you think I started this battle, is it right or wrong?" ”

Di Qing's face became serious, he looked up at the north, and said slowly: "Right and wrong are in your heart, people, if you decide on something, don't talk about right or wrong." The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are too important, if you can really take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from the hands of the Liao, future generations, thousands of generations, will remember you. ”

At this time, Gan Qi was actually somewhat compassionate, not as decisive as he was on the battlefield. Just like every time Gan Qi does that decisive thing, he always has a heart that he can't bear to witness, telling Gan Ba to kill the whole family, but he doesn't look at it.

But today, I can't help but look at it, there are corpses everywhere, and the air is filled with an indescribable fishy smell, not that Ganqi is hypocritical, if you want to say anything, it will be a success, but the reality of the scene still makes Ganqi have a taste in his heart that is not a taste.

Who called Gan Qi a reader?

It's normal for people to be emotional.

Gan Qi also comforted himself: "People always have to die, and if they don't die here, they will die elsewhere." ”

"That makes sense." Di Qing grinned again, the furrows on his face became more and more furrowed, and the whiteness of his temples became more and more obvious. I heard that Di Young Man was also a handsome guy when he was young, but now he can't see it at all.

I saw Di Qing stretch out his hand and touch it in his arms, and found a copper mask with green fangs, like a hellish ghost, and like a heavenly king.

"I gave it to you." Di Qing handed the mask to Gan Qi.

Gan Qi looked at the mask, shook his head and said, "Uncle Di has been wearing a mask for decades, I can't ask for it." ”

Di Qing took the mask back slightly, rubbed it with his hand, and said, "I am reluctant to give it to you, do you know what this mask represents?" ”

"It represents the battle feats of Uncle Di's generation." Gan Qi replied.

Unexpectedly, Di Qing waved his hand: "Fei Ye, this mask represents the belief that an army will win all battles, in the past, as long as you see the old man wearing this mask and walking in front of the battle, tens of thousands of horses will burst out with violent shouts, rushing into formation, one by one like wolves and tigers." Their courage is given by this mask. ”

Gan Qi thought about it when he heard this, and he also understood what Di Qing meant, this mask, in the former northwest battlefield, has become synonymous with Di Qing, and the courage of the soldiers was given by Di Qing, the owner of this mask. It is a symbolic thing, a symbol of the courage of tens of thousands of soldiers.

It symbolizes the heartfelt trust of tens of thousands of soldiers in a hero.

Di Qing gave this symbol to Ganqi in the hope that Ganqi would also be called such a symbol, which would bring the greatest courage to all the soldiers.

In this era, the best way to build the army's ideology is probably that everyone in this army trusts their commander incomparably.

Gan Qi stretched out his hand, took the mask, and asked, "Di Xianggong, do you think I am worthy of this mask?" ”

"You deserve it, when you wear a golden armor and wear this mask, they will follow you and defeat all enemies." Di Qing's face was solemn, and his words were extremely firm.

Gan Qi nodded seriously, put the mask into his arms, and said with a smile: "I've always heard that Uncle Di brought a mask into battle because you were too handsome to scare the enemy. ”

Di Qing laughed when he heard this, and said: "Your face, although it is not as handsome as when I was young, is also white and tender, and it is not rough and fierce at all, and it is not scaring people. ”

"Haha...... Uncle Di, you bring such a self-selling boast. ”

"But the good thing is that you are a Jinshi and a first, and you are a Jinshi, so you are a hundred times stronger than me." Di Qing's tone was not melancholy, but longing. Gan Qi is a Jinshi, a hundred times stronger than him, this sentence is Gan Qi's greatest expectation.

Because of Gan Qi, it is impossible to follow his old path of Di Qing, he Gan Qi only needs to make meritorious contributions, and constantly make meritorious contributions, no one will suspect that he Gan Qi wants to support the army and stand on his own, and no one will go back to suspect that he Gan Qi intends to rebel.

Do you think things in this world are strange?

The sages can't see or touch, but the sages have so much energy that they protect a person like a talisman. Just like Han Qi in the past, he has been in charge of the army for many years, promoting cronies everywhere, buying people's hearts, and even Di Qing is Han Qi's lackey. But no one ever doubted that Han Qi would support the army and stand on his own, and Di Qing, the lackey of his subordinates, who had long been unable to mobilize a single soldier, was suspected of rebelling all day long.

Gan Qi could hear the expectation and longing in Di Qing's words, but he changed the topic: "Uncle Di, this is going to Yanjing, two hundred miles, the army will start tomorrow morning, and the troops will be able to come to the city the night after tomorrow. ”

"Yanjing City is large, and there are no more than twenty or thirty thousand defenders in the city at this time, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend." Di Qing replied.

"Easy to attack and hard to defend?" The word was unexpected.

Di Qing nodded: "Yes, it's easy to attack and difficult to defend." What kind of city is Yanjing? There were two or three hundred thousand people living in the city, and how long were the walls around it? ”

Di Qing was explaining a simple truth to Gan Qi.

Since ancient times, big cities are difficult to defend, such as Bianliang City, according to records, the circumference of the city wall of Bianliang City is one hundred and twenty miles, but this number is not necessarily accurate, but the outer city wall of Bianliang City is at least seventy or eighty miles long.

Four walls, one side of ten or twenty miles, nearly 10,000 meters, even if there is a soldier every other meter, if a city wall wants to be full, it will take 10,000 soldiers. For every one meter of soldiers, forty thousand soldiers are needed on all four walls.

This is just standing in a circle, if you want to defend the city, you have to stand tightly and in many rows. How many people do you need?

Although Yanjing City is several laps smaller, the reason is the same, twenty or thirty thousand soldiers, only enough to stand on the city wall for one circle, and this kind of big city, it is also difficult for soldiers and horses to mobilize support, from the south city to the north city, more than ten miles, and it is extremely time-consuming to support, which is the reason why Di Qing is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

It is also the truth that big cities are difficult to defend. On the contrary, it is the kind of small city, as long as there are 10,000 or 20,000 people who dare to die in it, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Gan Qi was a little surprised, and said: "That is to say, as long as there is a sound to attack the west, the enemy army will be difficult to take care of, and it will not be difficult to break it?" ”

Di Qing waved his hand again: "You can't be so light on the enemy, the Liao people have been in Yanjing for more than a hundred years, if the people are mobilized, I am afraid that many people will go to the city to assist in the defense, but it should not be underestimated." What's more, in Yanjing City, there is a lot of grain and grass, there are also many weapons, and there are countless crossbows and bows of all kinds, and they should not be underestimated. ”

Gan Qi nodded, thinking that this is the truth, there are really a lot of things like wars, fortunately, there is a Di Qing by his side, who can teach everything in detail.

Gan Qi was also a little embarrassed, speaking of which, this Yanjing city can be captured, but it is not so easy to attack.

"You have to think about a strategy for this matter, and it's best to let Yanjing City break itself." Gan Qi said so, but he also thought so, but he had no clue, Yanjing City had been ruled by the Liao State for more than a hundred years, how could it be easy to break up?

"Dao Jian, how long will it take for the 100,000 Liao troops you transferred to come back?" Di Qing asked a word of worry in his heart, afraid that the siege battle was halfway through, and the 100,000 Liao troops who were transferred by Gan Qi would come back, and everything would be over.

Gan Qi was also worried, and said: "According to the schedule, even if you go to ask for help temporarily, it will take more than ten days to come and go. ”

Di Qing frowned: "For more than ten days, time is not waiting, tonight I have to let the army eat and sleep early, and tomorrow as soon as the sky is bright, it will be pulled out immediately." ”

Gan Qi nodded, he had thought about leaving for the north immediately now, and seize all the time, but the army that had just experienced a big battle, including Gan Qi himself, did not allow for physical strength. In the past, when I looked at the story, what went to fight hundreds of miles a day, led troops to fight, this city, that city, morning and evening, it was really nonsense, people are not machines, and horses are not machines.

Gan Qi kept thinking in his head, hoping to come up with a foolproof solution, even if it was a little feasible. You can't really pin everything on siege.

No wonder there are clouds in the book of war, and siege is the next policy.

Gan Qi suddenly pinned his hopes on Di Yong, hoping that Di Yong could defeat the 100,000 Liao army, but after thinking about it, Gan Qi also knew that with those rabble who didn't even have armor, how could they defeat the 100,000 Liao army? It's good if the city can be defended.

Thinking of this, Gan Qi sighed, there is still a difficulty to overcome in front of the world.

Gan Qi also knew that he still had a difficulty at this time, that is, Tokyo Bianliang. I have to go to Tokyo, the fight has started, and I have to explain to the court why the fight started, but the reason Gan Qi has already thought of it.

As for how Bianliang City blew up when he got the news, Gan Qi couldn't care so much. Anyway, when the news of Bianliang returns to Ganqi, it will be at least ten days later.
