Chapter Twenty-Six: The Newborn Akaya Castle

When Huo Quai's army arrived at Chigu City, the capital of Wusun Kingdom, with his knowledge, he was still deeply fascinated by the magnificent scenery in front of him.

In the midst of the black mountains, there is a huge red canyon in which Akaya Castle is located.

The Han people called the Wusun Kingdom - Xingguo, that is, the Han people thought that the Wusun Kingdom was the same as the Huns, and it was an ethnic group on horseback or camelback, which changed with the change of grass and trees throughout the year.

The Akatani City in front of Huo Quai's eyes is not like this, it is a city.

When the nomads have a city, it indicates that they will change from a nomadic to a semi-nomadic and semi-agrarian people.

A true state will be born.

The surrendered city that Huo Qubing took that year, which was the base for the Qiang people to prepare for the founding of the country, because of Huo Quai, the signs of the Qiang people's founding were cut off.

Since Yunlang received the surrendered city, the establishment of the Qiang people has been delayed indefinitely.

There was another city of the same scale in front of him, and Huo Quzhi always felt that this was fate.

The city was destroyed once by the Huns, and it seems that it was not interrupted, and the process of preparing the Wusun people for the establishment of a state.

In this red valley, a small river cascades down the valley, and on the other side of the river is Akaya Castle, which is like a moat in front of the castle.

There used to be strong wooden bridges over the river, but unfortunately all of them are now destroyed.

If you stand on the heights, you can see the whole of Akiti Castle.

This is actually a city composed of an outer city and an inner city.

There are many observation decks in the outer city that are higher than the inner and outer walls, and you can observe the wind and grass in a radius of dozens of miles at any time.

You can only enter the inner city after passing through the outer city.

The inner and outer walls are square, mainly wooden frames, with a combination of mud mixed with solid masonry made of local plants, and there are arrow holes in the walls every few meters.

The inner city and the outer city are covered with fan-shaped arrow towers, which are well defended and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In addition to these things, the whole city was empty, and the clearings were now full of broken tents.

The arrival of the Huns made this originally beautiful city dilapidated.

Huo Quai's army came to Akiti Castle, and countless cooking smoke was rising in the city.

Just as far as the eye could see, Huo Qubing actually found that there were quite a few people here, and there were people who were repairing the broken city walls.

It was only after discovering Huo Quai's army that they dispersed in a hurry.

After a short period of confusion, trumpets sounded in the city, and some of the chaotic herdsmen, armed with weapons of various colors, actually climbed up the city wall, and it was evident that they were very afraid, but none of them fled.

"The Huns can't do anything."

Nie Yi looked at the city in front of him suspiciously.

"How can there still be so many Wusun people?

Isn't that a problem for us?

General, let's order the craftsman to build a bridge, and we'll clean up this place again!

Your Majesty has an order, and those who dare to call soldiers in the domain will be killed! ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "No one, what do we want to do with a ruined empty city?" Come on, go and tell them, surrender immediately, or else - kill! ”

With Huo Quai's order, two horsemen broke away from the military formation, came to the river with flags on their backs, and said loudly in Chinese: "The general has an order, you will surrender immediately, if you dare to delay for a while, the army will immediately crush you into powder!" ”

The shouting soldiers were very loud, and after shouting three times in a row, the Wusun people at the head of the city suddenly became in a commotion.

A man in leather armor stood at the head of the city and said loudly in standard Chinese: "You are all robbers, we will never surrender!" ”

At this time, Huo Quzhi had already come to the river, and when he heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and the rest of the soldiers also heard this crisp sound like a yellow oriole's chirping, and laughed together.

Seeing that the river had been widened a lot by the Huns, and stones had been thrown at the deepest part, and the river had become shallow, many bastards could not wait to prepare to drive their horses across the river.

Huo Qubing saw that there was a tattered flag fluttering at the head of the city, so he took out a strong bow and shot three arrows in a row, one arrow shot down the flag, one arrow was inserted in the battlement in front of the shouting woman, and the other arrow took the fallen flag I don't know where it went.

"Tell them, surrender!"

Huo Quzhi withdrew his bow and said lightly to the big-mouthed soldier.

The big-mouthed soldier laughed and shouted towards the city: "The general has the virtue of a good life, spare you and wait for you, surrender quickly!" ”

Some wolf tooth arrows flew out sparsely from the head of the city, and the farthest one actually reached Huo Quai.

Huo Quai's detective grabbed the arrow, glanced at it and said to Nie Yi: "Attack, this woman stays!" ”

Nie Yi smiled lewdly, waved his hand, and a large group of black-armored cavalry went down the river one after another, although there were feathered arrows shot down on their heads, they only needed to raise their round shields, and they had no scruples.

When the cavalry crossed the river, they abandoned their horses, and some raised their heads to shoot arrows and crossbow arrows at the city, while others untied their finger-thick chains from their waists and attached them to their iron claws.

Each of these jumpers was agile, half in iron armor, and his hands climbed on iron chains like apes on the ramparts.

The Wusun people at the head of the city slashed the chains with a dense array of crossbow arrows, and after paying great damage, they found that their swords and axes could not help the chains.

Seeing that the jumping hands were about to climb the city wall, the Wusun people at the head of the city shouted and dispersed.

Huo Quzhi glanced at Nie Yi, and Nie Yi hurriedly said, "Li Dang has already bypassed." ”

"Don't kill, we have killed a little too much just now, we have to be a little different from the Huns, we can't kill people indiscriminately, this place Yunlang may be useful."

Nie Yi nodded again and again, and seeing that the jumping hands were on the city wall, he hurriedly gave an order to the pro-soldiers, and watched the pro-soldiers follow into Chigu City.

Only then did he say to Huo Quai: "There are so many people here, the Huns have killed a group and coerced a group, and now, at a cursory glance, there are more than 10,000 people, which is too surprising." ”

"When the Huns came, most of the Wusun people were not in the city, they should have been in the various winter pastures outside the city.

In other words, most of the Wusun people who were captured by the Huns were the Wusun royal family and nobles. “

Nie Yi said with a smile: "Listening to the general's words, I think that the Huns are actually quite good at doing things."

Knowing what we don't like about the royal family, we just need ordinary people, and they do the best for us. ”

Huo Quzhi smiled slightly and urged the horse to cross the river.

At this time, the gate of Akaya Castle had been opened by the jumping hand, and the inside of the city was empty, only the noise in the west of the city was terrible.

When passing through the city gate, Huo Quzhi patted the tall stone city wall with his hand, pulled out a piece of gravel from the crack in the stone, weighed it in his hand and said, "Good city wall." ”

Nie Yi said disapprerovingly: "The city is steep enough, the problem is that there is too little farmland that can be used around.

When these savages were building the city, didn't they think about how to solve the problem of eating once the people entered the city and gathered together?

Could it be that you have entered the city and continued to graze?

General, a barbarian is a barbarian, do something that cares about the head and tail. ”

The two walked all the way, talked all the way, and before they knew it, they came to the inner city.

Li Dang came triumphantly from the west of the city, and on the beam of his war horse, there was still a prisoner lying on his stomach, although he was still struggling, but Li Dang held his back, and he couldn't get out no matter what.

"General, this is Queen Wusun, I have captured it for you."

Li Dare proudly grabbed the captive's hair and made her raise her face so that Huo Qubing could see more clearly.

This Wusun woman is surprisingly beautiful, Huo Quzhi glanced at it, and said to Li Dang: "Tie it up and throw it into the prisoner car, and hand it over to Ah Lang after you go back, and Ah Xiang will dispose of it." ”

Li dared to squeak and whimper: "Otherwise, ......"

Huo Quzhi glared at Li Dang and said, "Pass the order, and carry out seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings today." ”

"Huh? General, since we left Dahan, we have never carried out these military orders, is it the same as before, pick some prohibitions and then enforce them? ”

A woman can do without, and it would be too painful to even prohibit such a thing as robbery.

The brothers have long regarded the things of the Huns and the Hu people as their own things these years, but now it is good, not only are they not allowed to take them, but it has become a sin to take a second look.

The woman who was caught by Li Dang, when Li Dang was talking to Huo Quai, kept shouting, saying that she was Kunmo of Wusun, and she was the royal family of Wusun recognized by Zhang Qian, the envoy of the Han Dynasty.

The Han army shouldn't have treated her like this.

Huo Quzhi turned a deaf ear to this female Kun Mo's words, but Nie Yi heard them clearly, and he even felt that what this woman said made some sense.

It's just that as the commander of the army, he couldn't figure out what Huo Quzhi meant, and he vaguely felt that Huo Qubing might have fallen in love with this Wusun woman.

I'm ready to take it home and share it with his fox friends!
