Chapter 8: The Mantis Arm as a Car (Part I)
The boundless prairie, like the vast sea, with no end in sight, Kang Peng lazily lay on the four-wheeled carriage, watching the sky float
The clouds, breathing the fragrance of the grass and trees, gnawed the rabbit meat in their hands from time to time, and the mood was very happy.
Kang Peng couldn't help but be happy, Dong Zhuojun's first battle ten days ago won a complete victory, and the army of King Qiang was forced to evacuate Luoyang
of evil spirits. The next day, outside Longyou City, the frightened Han Suijun and the Qiang coalition army fought Dong Zhuojun at first glance, and they were rushed to pieces by Dong Zhuojun
, even the Flying Bear Army was not used, so the siege of Longyou was lifted, Ma Teng, who was already half dead, was rescued, and forced Han Suijun and Qiang soldiers to flee back to the prairie, and collected it again
The defeated army of 30,000 Ma Teng, the young and strong of more than 10,000 Han people, and the strength of the army increased greatly
The Qiang army has more than 8,000 good horses, which is a good thing.
The night before yesterday, a few old generals of the Xiliang Army, with his consent, led their troops to ransack a Qiang tribe dozens of miles away
All the women in the tribe were rushed to the army, and two Qiang beauties were carefully selected from them and sent to Kang Peng's tent, Kang Peng refused to refute the kindness of his subordinates, let
The loyal subordinates were disappointed, and they wanted to take advantage of the jealous Cai Wenji's absence to secretly fish, so they had to reluctantly laugh at it. Kang Peng has been chased
I gradually figured out the trick of bringing these eight masters of Xiliangqiu, that is, you can strictly control them in peacetime, but in wartime, you have to give them a chance to vent and let them rob
If money robs beautiful women, they will follow them to fight the country with all their hearts.
Of course, Kang Peng knows the importance of mass discipline, and without the support of the local people, no matter how powerful the army is, it will be difficult to move an inch, but Jia Xu's words on the eve were
The echo in Kang Peng's ears made Kang Peng careless.
"Taishi, the western Liangdi is vast and sparsely populated, and the Qiang tribes are numerous and nomadic and uncertain, but our army is a labor expedition, unable to fight for a long time, and is in a head-to-head confrontation
, our army can easily defeat the main force of the Qiang army, if the Qiang people occupy the terrain and defend according to the danger, it will be difficult for our army to destroy them within a year or two. As
Leaving Wuwei City immobile for the time being, the army was divided to crusade against the Qiang tribes, forcing the Qiang tribe to flee into Wuwei City for refuge, and then our army besieged Wuwei City again,
Looking for an opportunity to provoke contradictions between the Qiang and Han armies, the Qiang army can be destroyed with one blow, and after this battle, Liangzhou can be safed for at least ten years. ”
Kang Peng threw out the rabbit leg bone that was gnawed all the fine, and muttered in his heart, go fuck the seven capture Meng won the attack heart for the upper and the city for the bottom, that is in the south
Jungle, this is the northern prairie, where to use what means, anyway, not to use vicious means against the Han compatriots.
In order to implement Jia Xu's tactics, Dong Zhuo's army was on the way to Wuwei City, and as long as he saw the Qiang tribe along the way, he immediately looted all the money and grain
Cattle, sheep, horses, birds, animals, and daily necessities were all snatched, all tents and houses that could not be robbed were burned, and beautiful women were rushed into the army for soldiers to vent
, other men and women were taken back to Yongzhou as slaves, and all those who dared to resist were executed.
Dong Zhuojun also divided several teams of 1,000 light cavalry, scattered to various places to sweep the Qiang tribes, killing people when they saw them, robbing things when they saw them, and burning tents and houses when they saw them
。 However, Kang Peng still emphasized one point, asking Dong Zhuojun to never allow harm to the Han people, let alone behead those who violate the order in the villages inhabited by the Han people. same
At that time, Kang Peng sent a Dark Moon army, pretending to be a Qiang person, and rushed to Wuwei in advance to spread the news of the arrival of Dong Zhuo's army, inducing the Qiang people to flee into Wu
Take refuge in Wai City.
"The Demon King Dong is back, the Demon King who kills people without blinking is back." A man dressed as a Qiang soldier quickly rushed into a Qiang tribe, high
shouted: "Demon King Dong has come to kill our Qiang people again, let's take refuge in Wuwei City, there is King Qiang there to protect us." "About the same time,
Another Qiang soldier rushed into another Qiang tribe and shouted the same words to the Qiang people......
As soon as the news of Dong Zhuojun's slaughter of the Qiang tribe came out, the Qiang people were all terrified, and the ugly demon king slaughtered with the devil's iron horse two years ago
The terrifying picture of the Qiang people appeared in front of their eyes again, at that time, no matter where the iron horse of the demon king went, it would set off a bloody storm, grain, cattle and horses
The army of the demon king was snatched away, the men were killed, the women were taken away and ruined by the army of the demon king, the old and weak were driven into tents, lit on fire and burned alive, any tribe
will bring revenge from the Demon King's army against their corpses and sea of blood, until the tribe is surrounded by thousands of miles of people. For a time, the Qiang people ran to tell each other, no
The Qiang people helped the old and the women, brought their belongings, and drove the cattle and horses to Wuwei City, wanting to find a place to live there, and there were many who were unwilling to be restrained
The Qiang people took up arms and flocked to Wuwei to help the Qiang King resist the Demon King.
The Han people living in Liangzhou cheered, and the Han and Qiang people in Liangzhou at that time lived together, hostile to each other, and the ethnic contradictions were extremely strict
Heavy, and the Qiang people are nomadic people, since they were young, they have been riding horses and arrows, and the folk customs are extremely strong, so the Han people who make a living from agriculture often suffer losses in battles.
But after Dong Zhuo took over as the Taishou of Xiliang ten years ago, the situation was completely reversed.
But Dong Zhuo has a little advantage - to protect the short, whenever the Qiang people fight with the Han people, no matter who is right and who is wrong, Dong Zhuo always favors the Han people, and the Qiang people are a little dissatisfied.
Dong Zhuo immediately saw each other with swords, slaughtering tribes one tribe after another, without even blinking his eyelids, and the old Qiang King led his troops to resist several times and was beaten by Dong Zhuo's army
Defeated, the tribes involved in the Qiang soldiers were even more tragically wiped out, and in just one year, the Qiang population was sharply reduced by three percent! Later, the Qiang people were also really taken
Dong Zhuojun was afraid of killing, and he tolerated the Han people in everything, and the Han people raised their eyebrows from then on. But after Dong Zhuo entered the customs two years ago, Ma Teng, who took over Xiliang, was both Qiang
Human blood, and without Dong Zhuo's courage, he adopted a gentle laissez-faire approach to the Qiang people, and the Qiang people slowly began to recover their vitality, and this year they even created martial arts
The massacre, the status of the Han people was knocked to the bottom. Now that Dong Zhuo has returned with the army to avenge the Han people, do the Han people in Liangzhou have a reason not to burn incense and worship each other?
……
Han Sui and the Qiang King Wu Gutuo led the army to escape back to Wuwei City, and the shock calmed down for a while, and the Qiang King Wu Gu Tuo immediately proposed to burn Wuwei City and then fled to Zhangye
Running away from the demon king, but Han Sui resolutely objected, on the grounds that Zhangye was remote, and the road was full of wilderness, and it was easy to be caught up by Dong Zhuojun
On the flat ground, the spears and fast horses of the Qiang people are not the opponents of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and at present, they can only rely on the strong Wuwei city to deal with Dong Zhuojun, and Dong Zhuojun is far away
It is inconvenient to transfer grain, so as long as he holds on for a period of time, Dong Zhuojun will withdraw.
At first, the Qiang King Wu Gutuo was already scared by Dong Zhuojun, and he didn't dare to face the demon king anymore, so he insisted on leaving, but at this time, Dong Zhuojun marched towards Wuwei
The news has spread all over the prairie, and a large number of Qiang people have poured into Wuwei to ask the Qiang king Wu Gutuo to provide protection, Wu Gu Tuo has no choice but to obey Han Sui's plan,
The Qiang tribes were ordered to reinforce Wuwei, repair fortifications, and rectify the city defenses, preparing to hold on for a long time.
A month later, when Dong Zhuojun slowly marched into Bianzhang, which was still more than 600 miles away from Wuwei, the Wuyi Division, Hanjing Division, and Tong
The elite soldiers of the hooves and pincers have all arrived in Wuwei, and the number of soldiers and civilians in the city has reached 150,000, ready to confront Dong Zhuojun. Qiang people
The various departments gathered in Wuwei, and naturally they were mixed, and they were not familiar with each other, and the Dark Moon troops took the opportunity to infiltrate Wuwei, and the intelligence of Wuwei City was endless
Sent to Kang Peng, who was far away in the side chapter.
"Ma Zhong came to report, seven or eight out of ten elites of the Qiang tribe have been stationed in Wuwei, Taishi, we can do it." Jia Xu handed a small note
Kang Peng, this is a Han man with a quarter of Qiang blood sent by a fast horse, and the Han man hates the blood of the Qiang people in his body.
As soon as Dong Zhuojun arrived in Bianzhang, he took the initiative to join the army, because his grandfather was the patriarch of a tribe of the Qiang tribe and knew the situation of the Qiang people very well
Let him be tasked with liaising with the Darkmoon forces.
Kang Peng nodded, raised his head and said to the generals: "Everyone work hard, after this battle, Xiliang can be safe within ten years." Kang Peng was cold again
said: "The whole army will attack and set foot on Wuwei City!" ”
"Yes! Set foot in Wuwei City! ”
Thirty-five two-zhang tall catapults were surrounded by the Flying Bear Army, and the three-zhang long throwing arm could throw 600 stones weighing 180 pounds
Many steps, inflicting great damage on the defenders and the city walls, and the stones used were well prepared, and there was a lack of suitable stones in the steppe, which were cold
The local Han people in the state collected it everywhere. The local Han people not only assisted Dong Zhuojun in preparing siege equipment, but also young and strong men enthusiastically joined the army
After the defeat of Ma Teng, the number of Dong Zhuo's army not only did not decrease, but increased from 110,000 at the time of departure to nearly 200,000.
Behind them, there was a mighty siege brigade, 80,000 heavily armed Flying Bear troops lined up in a neat queue, and countless ladders and cloud platforms were mixed with them
, and finally the energetic Xiliang Iron Cavalry, after the single infantry broke through the city. They will rush into the city to avenge the innocent deaths of their fathers and villagers
。
As soon as Dong Zhuojun lined up the formation, the defenders on the Wuwei city wall who were waiting for him were baffled by Dong Zhuojun's strange behavior, and they first saw it from a distance
The soldiers of Dong Zhuojun in the four phalanxes lined up and walked to a place far away from the range of bows and arrows and lay down, with their hands and feet on a longbow nearly a person high, and there was one standing next to them
The man stood solemnly with an arrow more than three feet long in his hand. Then five more phalanx of infantry pushed more than thirty strange wooden carts a little closer - bows and arrows were still fired
In the middle of it, he pulled the thing with a spoon on the strange wooden cart more than three feet long and pulled it back, and put something in the spoon.
Wu Gutuo couldn't help but ask Han Sui, "I have seen all the siege weapons of your Han people, it is nothing more than a siege vehicle ladder or something, but what is this?"
What weapons? What's the use? ”
Han Sui shook his head, "I don't know either." Han Sui gritted his teeth again and said, "Is Dong Zhuo a madman?" Wuwei now has an army of 150,000 and wants to defeat Wu
Wei, at least 300,000 troops are enough, he has a maximum of 200,000 people, and he dares to send the whole army to attack? Is he all rubbish when we are? ”
Under Dong Zhuojun's flag, Kang Peng nodded at Li Xuan, signaling that he could start, Li Xuan waved the red flag, and the flags shook layer after layer, and his feet were open
The archers raised their bows together and pointed diagonally, and the soldiers standing next to them immediately loaded their arrows with a meter thick on their wrists, and there were twenty strong men behind each catapult
The muscular soldier tightened his grip on the twine.
"Put!"
Two thousand long arrows roared out together, and the snow-white arrow feathers seemed to rise from the ground as if a thick fog had risen from the ground, and they rushed towards the Wuwei wall with hundreds of heads
Stones of all sizes also flew out of the air, forming a dense stone curtain in mid-air, and the target was the Wuwei City Tower......
