Chapter 106: Attack

The Han is really big, especially when the population of the Han is only 40 million, the territory of the Manchu Han is full of no man's land and wilderness, and even these no man's land and wild land are far better than the wasteland in the northwest countless times.

Therefore, neither the emperor nor the people were interested in expanding their territory, and the reason why they wanted to fight to the death with the Xiongnu was entirely to ensure the safety of the people in the country.

This idea has a historical basis, even after Meng Tian drove the Huns away, he did not think of continuing to advance, but began to build the Great Wall with the people!

Land needs to be managed in order to truly belong to itself, if you don't build roads, don't immigrate, don't build, what do you want so much land for?

Therefore, Yun Lang is bent on producing something in this place, and he must let the Han people see that the surrendered city is profitable, and whether it is a merchant or a common person, they will come here to live spontaneously.

And the surrendered city will gradually prosper.

Military cities, for the country, is a place where there is only input and no output, and when the national strength is strong, it can naturally be maintained, and once the national strength is stretched, the first to be abandoned are these border cities.

If Yun Lang wants to change the current situation, he can only start small.

Xie Gu was pulled into the surrendered city by an ox cart, and he was crowded with five or six immobile Qiang people.

Xie Gu didn't understand, what did these Han people want to do, what could a group of Han people with broken bones and tendons do!

The frightened made these Qiang people forget the pain, and when they saw that the city gate was about to close, a Qiang man with a broken arm suddenly jumped off the ox cart with a scream and ran quickly out of the city.

The young Han soldier pulled the crossbow machine, and Xie Gu watched as the Qiang man was shot through the chest and fell to the ground limply.

"It is not proper to live well, but to be dead......

The young soldier muttered to himself, and drove the ox cart back down the stone streets.

Shegu heard a loud crash as the gates closed, and he tried to run, but he couldn't move.

Then he closed his eyes in resignation, preparing to meet his final fate.

The Qiang people in the city looked numbly at the wounded cry on the ox cart, with no pity or special hatred.

Su Zhi was naturally the boss of the wounded barracks, she put her hands in her big pockets, watched the carload of wounded numbers being pulled by the ox cart, and said to the Qiang woman who was interested in learning the art of Han medicine behind her: "Treat according to the method I taught you a few days ago." ”

Then she returned to the camp, where there were more wounded soldiers waiting for her to be treated, and there was no time to take care of them.

Shegu's hands and feet were plywooded and thrown into a wooden cage, with nothing but a worn-out blanket and a clay bowl.

Grabbing the railing with his only hand that could move, he said to the woman outside the cage, "Will you kill us?" ”

The woman who was working with her head bowed looked up at Shegu and said, "I don't talk to you." ”

Xie Gu wiped his blood-stained face with his sleeve and said, "I'm a Qiang." ”

The woman said coldly, "Me too! ”

"We're going to kill all the Han people."

The woman sighed slightly, bowed her head again, and went to work again, and said no more.

Xie Gu felt the sharp pain from the wound, and said with difficulty: "Give me a bowl of water." ”

The woman got up silently and left with her own basin in her arms.

Shegu shouted again: "Give me a bowl of water!" ”

The woman's figure had turned the corner, still deaf to her.

The wooden cage was placed on the street, and the Qiang people on the street seemed to be very busy walking around, even the Qiang children, after looking at the injury number curiously for a while, were taken away by the adults......

There was only one iron bolt on the wooden cage, and it was not locked, so as long as the Qiang people wanted, they could open the wooden cage and rescue the wounded.

As a result, three full days passed, and no one was willing to bother with these wounds, except that the woman had brought them some water and food at regular intervals every day.

Some families even carried the wooden cages with the wounds to distant places, because the people lived in the cages to defecate and soiled the ground in front of their homes.

At dawn, Xie Gu said to the woman with a smiling face: "We are here to save you, and when I am healed, I will be a good man again." ”

The woman poured water into Shegu's bowl through the wooden fence and said coldly, "You have come to kill us." ”

Seeing the woman's reaction, Xie Gu immediately said, "Do you know how vicious the Han people are? They are clean and bad outside the city, and a beauty like you, if they were outside the city, would have been robbed a long time ago. ”

The woman didn't care about Xie Gu's compliments, and looked at Xie Gu and said, "The people who captured the Qiang slaves were not Han Chinese, they were those people in Zansuo who did it, and they captured people back to sell them for money, and the Han people never sent people to arrest people." ”

"It's not right for them to pay!"

The woman sneered and said, "When our Qiang people were bought and sold, there were still few? I was bought by men from other tribes for three sheep. ”

"That's the Qiang ......"

Before Shegu could finish his sentence, the woman accidentally knocked over his bowl of water and carried the bucket to the next one.

"Give me another bowl of water!"

Shegu shouted......

The war was still going on, and the trebuchets threw huge stones into the sky again and again, and then there was a loud noise outside the city, and whenever the trebuchet wielded its might, the shouting of killing would always stop for a moment.

When the trebuchet is completely silent, it is a sign that the battle is finally over for the day.

It was getting dark, and a huge bonfire was lit in the Hun camp, Huo Quai's two eyes were shining, and there seemed to be flames burning in his pupils.

1,000 cavalry, this is the maximum force that the surrendered city can show, and the remaining 1,000 foot soldiers and 500 cavalry will be the last military force to defend the surrendered city.

Huo Qubing and Zhao Ponu were going to lead a thousand cavalry to attack the Xiongnu.

On their horses, they carried a lot of fire-burning things, sulfur, oil, rockets, and even phosphorus fire.

After five days of hard fighting, Huo Qu was finally ill, and Yun Lang realized that if the Huns were not defeated, such a harassment war would never end.

The evil king was very clever, he knew that sending the Hun cavalry to attack the city was a terrible disaster, so he ordered the Hun cavalry to disperse to capture the nearby Qiang and Di people, and let these aliens form an army to attack the surrendered city.

After five days, the cavalry captain would kill and wound a large number of Qiang people and Di people every day, and by the next day, there was still a steady stream of Qiang people, Di people lined up on the grassland, and then cried and rushed to the surrendered city.

I don't know when such a day is a head......

When the cavalry captain killed all the Qiang people and Di people who were attacking the city, he was exhausted.

It was also the time of attack that the Huns had been waiting for.

Yun Lang was not very willing to let Huo Qubing go to attack the military camp of the Hun Evil King, even if the scout came back and reported that the Hun Evil King had sent out the ordinary cavalry to arrest people, there were still as many as 6,000 Huns left in the barracks.

This is a big gamble, if the bet wins, the Huns will only be unable to hold on to defeat, if they fall into the trap, the thousand cavalry can come back may not be too many.

Looking up at the dark sky, the weather is clear and full of stars, but the moon still has two hours to rise, which can be regarded as the best time to sneak attack.

Yun Lang grabbed the reins of the black horse and said, "Are you sure you won't directly attack the Xiongnu camp?" ”

Huo Quzhi took the reins on the other side of the black horse and said: "What I want to attack is the Xiongnu herdsman's camp, and then drive the horses, the cattle will storm the Xiongnu camp, and then completely disrupt the Xiongnu camp." ”

Yun Lang nodded and said, "Li Dang has already taken people to the big river to clean up the Hun sentry, as long as he succeeds, you can set off." ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "The arrow is on the string, I have to send it, you will know the results tomorrow morning." ”

After speaking, he led the black horse under the escort of his own soldiers, and stepped on the bank of the big river along the water village in the dark.

The horses' hooves are wrapped in thick wool felt, and they are silent when they walk on the ground, and the wooden sticks in the horse's mouth can also ensure that the horses do not neigh at will.

The soldiers also had the same short stick on their bodies, and once they arrived at the battlefield, they also had to hold the stick in their mouths to prevent them from making sounds.

As the warriors walked out of the surrendered city one by one, Yun Lang's heart gradually rose to his throat.

For Yun Lang, a sneak attack was never a good idea.
