Chapter 84: Dark Forbidden Arts: Traveling at Night
Zang Ba did not directly participate in the battle, he watched very calmly from the wall and commanded the battle. At this moment, many of the enemy are trying to climb the wall, but they are not successful. Many of the defenders were wounded and retreated or fell in battle, but soon someone would fill their positions in an orderly manner. Go forward and move forward bravely. At this time, 4,000 guards ran up the wall. The already scrambled wall seems to add another sense of tension. When Zang Ba saw them coming up, he shouted angrily, "Who let you come!" ”
Those people were incorporated by the warriors of the Wasai, the Snake Clan, and the Feimu Clan, and a force of 4,000 people who were collectively called reservists by Pang. This was the work that Pang Tong asked Badar, Kuimen, and Tuado to cooperate with Zang Ba to complete the reorganization of the troops before leaving Chencang County. They had put on the armor of the Pangtong army, each armed with a Vasai-style scimitar, and an iron shield strong enough to withstand bows and arrows. They are not willing to hide in the rear, they think they have combat power.
Kuimen, who took the lead, responded to Zang Ba like this: "Why can't I wait to help in the war, that's Liu Yan's people, we regard death as home!" ”
Zang Ba gritted his teeth and said, "There is no shortage of people here, and it is not your turn yet!" Give me back! ”
In the middle of the day, Kuimen had already led people to rush to the wall, but there were indeed a lot of people, and it was not their turn to fill the position.
"What a hard guy." After Zang Ba complained, he continued to command the battle.
A crimson sun gradually set, and on the purple-red sky, those clouds of the same color revealed strange shapes, the shape of wheels, the shape of beasts. However, at this time, there were only the shapes of people and weapons on the wall of Chencang County, and the blood flow wall, the outer wall, and the city also formed organic shapes.
On the body with its mouth open, there are flocks of crows. After the failure of the assault, Yan Yan's army retreated. Left behind a ruined, bloody battlefield full of howls.
The Vasai looked at everything in front of them, and no one said a word. They knew that this was war, and they already knew the cruel true face of this matter from the battle with Ma Tiejun that day. Everyone felt the howling of the cold wind in the turbid and blood-filled mist of the evening. At the top of the wall, the soldiers carried their own corpses into the city, and threw the corpses of the enemy outside the wall for the wild beasts to eat. The army was reorganized and continued to defend. But there was a scene on the city wall that shocked the mountain people.
Tuado and Kuimen, as the initiators of this unauthorized resistance against the wall, tied their hands behind them with thick hemp ropes and knelt on the ground. The reserve warriors of the mountain people were all driven to the city, and they were terrified. However, the soldiers who drove them down repeatedly told them to obey military orders and not to violate them, according to Zang Ba's instructions.
Badar looked at this situation and felt very uncomfortable. But he has been with Zang Ba for many days, and he also understands military discipline. He could only stand aside silently and watch the situation unfold.
"Who told you to come up?"
Zang Ba shouted angrily.
Tuado raised his head and said, "How can we say that we are also the leaders of the two tribes, and you have humiliated us so much!" ”
Kuimen, who was more than ten years older than Zang Ba, bowed his head and remained silent.
Zang said domineeringly: "Who let you come up!" ”
"The city is in trouble, how can we not fight now as the defenders?" Tuado continued to argue.
Zang Ba shook his head and said, "Violating military discipline is an unforgivable thing. I know that you are used to being in the mountains, and you are no longer bound. I've mentioned this to you a few times! ”
Kui Men slowly raised his head at this moment, the skin on the surface of his cheekbones showed the fine lines of history, and he said: "In the face of Liu Yan's people, we can't control ourselves. "He's telling the truth. Tuado gritted his teeth at this point.
Zang overbearing: "People who are dominated by emotions will fall to the ground on the battlefield sooner or later!" It's common sense! ”
Tuado nodded in response, but said, "Then I want to ask, we people must be able to help when we go to the wall, what can we do in the city?" No matter what, it's always good to have a lot of people, right? ”
Zang Ba shook his head and sighed: "Ignorance! If there are enough defenders, you guys will only make my dispatch scramble. And I didn't keep you waiting in the city so that you didn't have anything to do. What if the enemy attacks from the north, west, and east? Tuado was stunned. This is war! Only a precise plan can hold a city, and it is not brute force and numbers that can determine everything. Often, a sophisticated strategy can destroy tens of thousands of other people's armies without using a single soldier. This kind of thing has happened a lot in history. ”
The two of them knelt there like lifeless balls, without any thoughts of retorting. The poor look embarrassed in the brilliant sunset.
Zang Ba frowned, and said coldly: "The matter can't be settled like this, otherwise military discipline will not be able to run through all the generals, and in the future, the army will be scattered, and the city will definitely be handed over!" ”
Hearing this, Badar's body trembled, and the sight of pity that had fallen on the heads of the two slowly moved to Zang Ba, whose cheeks were cold. It seems that this leader, who had just fought with the enemy, had become a character who wanted to execute the two who were also the heads of the mountain tribes. This character is neither a pure enemy nor a submissive executioner. Badar was confused for a moment, and he didn't know what to do. But he knew that if he didn't speak up, maybe something terrible would happen.
He mustered up the courage to forbid Zang Ba and said: "My lord is angry, I think that the two patriarchs committed a first offense and should not be punished heavily, otherwise the mountain people will not accept it." ”
In fact, Zang Ba was waiting for his words. Zang Ba bent the corners of his mouth, with an expression of imminent terrifying orders, and said to the two men who no longer knew and did not want to raise their heads: "Badar is also a little reasonable, so he will not be punished heavily. Come on, give me thirty lashes each! ”
The matter ended in the form of this punishment. Kuimen had no complaints. It was Tuado who thought it was too humiliating to keep his head up in front of the tribesmen, and he said, "I think I'd better go find a mountain to live in." ”
In the decent lobby, where the hill people lived for the high-rises, Badar sat opposite Tuado. He said with a heavy heart: "Is it a good thing that the three tribes have left Mount Wata and come here with great difficulty, and they are separated now?" Maybe you want me to take someone with you. But I'm not the man with the only brute strength anymore. Pang Tong is an enviable man. I used to treat him as an outsider, an outright rival in love, or an enemy, when I was in Wastashan. But in fact, what I saw during this time was a man who was brave, resourceful, affectionate and righteous. In this man's territory, perhaps we can ask for a mountain, and I am sure he will give it to us. But the question is, is it a good thing to live in the mountains all the time, live with today and no tomorrow, and have no communication with the outside world? ”
Tuado was speechless, marveling at the man's change.
Badal continued: "The mountain people gradually became fond of life on the plains, in the cities. There are towering walls here to protect us from the bullying of that Liu Yan. There is a thriving exchange of commerce and agriculture. We have to admit one thing, everyone loves it, who are you going to let go with you? ”
Tuado nodded, but he still couldn't sit up straight, and although the wound left by the whip on his back had been coated with Wasai medicine, the pain was unbearable. He gritted his teeth and sighed, "I have to accept the rules here!" ”
After the man dismissed the thought, the two of them laughed gradually, as if they were feeling the change that life on the plains had brought to them in an indescribable expression. At this moment, a teenager walked in. He was the only son of Shandore, and now the only child, with two thin but strong arms.
Since the day his sister left, his whole person has changed a lot. He became calm, not at all like a child, and it seemed that a great responsibility fell on his immature shoulders at once. He said to Badar, "I have finally convinced the witch doctors that they can do a great job, for the life of the mountain, for the sake of the victims of our three tribes, and for the sake of my sister. It has to be done. ”
Badal never imagined that the venerable old woman would agree to use what had become known as the "Dark Forbidden Technique". Not only that, but she also agreed to convince her team of healers, which was the greatest support for Badar's revenge plan.
Tuado raised his brow and glanced at Badar. The strong man was just nodding to the boy, and his face didn't seem to be happy at the news, but not as happy as it had just been. What the hell is going on?
Badar did not want to explain the situation to him at all, but under repeated questioning, he showed his eyes that seemed to be obscured by shadows with absolute purpose, and replied cryptically: "It will be successful." ”
This matter was known to Zang Ba, the supreme commander in the city. Otherwise, he would not have let people open the east gate at the second watch of the night. A hundred Vasai warriors marched south under the leadership of Badar. Their target was Dazhai of the Yizhou Army. Under the night, the wind blows. The crowd walked forward in the darkness, with a scimitar in one hand and a shield in the other, but oval bamboo baskets
Badal asked a man beside him, "Have you taken any medicine?" ”
The man replied affirmatively, "It's all done." ”
Badal nodded in relief. In fact, he had been told about this before. But the thought of what they were doing, with that dark devil, scared him a little.
When they were a mile away from the enemy's Dazhai, more than ten horsemen suddenly rushed over. Immediately the people fell to the ground, on the bare plain, without any shelter. Just lying on his stomach.
