Chapter 51: Sneak Attack
"Yike...... Roar...... Kill them all! The assembled herdsmen of the Xianbei tribes rushed towards Jiuyuan with their swords and bows, and the slaves were even more red-eyed, sharpening the wooden spears and stone spears in their hands. Riding or driving animals such as cattle and sheep follow their masters closely.
They are the lowest people of the steppe. It is the heaviest work that is done, and it is the beef and mutton bones that the owner throws to them after eating the meat. For nomads, they are just talking tools, just their own property. And now, the king has decreed that as long as they follow the army to break through the city, they can save thirty percent of the spoils!
The grassland is suffering from the white plague, Xianbei is now in a skyrocketing population, if they don't go, they can only starve to death in the future, only by attacking the cities of the Han Dynasty forward, they can have a glimmer of life, and they may even turn over and no longer be slaves!
As a Xianbei nobleman, the leader of this army of 3,000 iron horsemen did not charge ahead, but only followed the army behind. As hereditary nobles and tribal leaders, these 3,000 cavalry are the capital for cadres to survive in the grassland, which has suffered from white plagues year after year, and cattle and sheep are thin and hungry. The cadres obeyed Shan Yu's will and went south to fight the grass valley of the Han people. But he must use his wits to minimize the losses of this war and gain more. In this way, the tribe can continue to grow and will not be swallowed up by others and become slaves of other tribes.
He looked at it and asked the soldier next to him who greeted them on a horse and gnawed on jerky: "Qi Ganqi, my younger brother, you are the best condor archer in Xianbei, this war dominates the future of the cadres, and the Han people will eat the Han people in order to kill the various departments, if the Jiuyuan City of the Han people cannot be breached, the cadres will be punished by the single, and the ambitious people in the vicinity will have the idea of fighting the dry tribes." ”
"We can't offend the royal court, at least not now." Qi Ganqi said silently, although the current Xianbei Shan Yu is dying, he is a generation of heroes who single-handedly created the current scenery of Xianbei, and he is the leader of Xianbei, Tanshi Huai. This person is really a natural hero! At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, after Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu Maodunshan, Xianbei, like Wuhuan, became the object of the rule and enslavement of the Xiongnu slave master regime. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu gradually declined, Xianbei, Wuheng have begun to contact with the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty "liberated" slaves, and split the Xiongnu, under the continuous blows, the Southern Xiongnu became vassals, the Northern Xiongnu fled to Europe, found that the people here are too good to fight than the Han Dynasty, their own technology in the Han Dynasty is basically eliminated in this actually has an advantage, those barbarians will only form an infantry phalanx and the Hun cavalry uses mobility, and the guerrilla becomes a sieve, after more than 30% casualties, the infantry phalanx collapses into an escaping pig, Attila established a royal court on the east bank of the Danube and began to dictate what the Pope should be, after which he was also called the "Whip of God" by Westerners in terminology!
After the Southern Xiongnu were split into five parts, they were domesticated into dogs by the Han Dynasty, and Xianbei and Karasuma began to move. At this time, sandalwood locust began to emerge. was first elected as the leader, and then by submitting to the Han Dynasty, he received assistance, fought east and west, and attached all the Xianbei tribes in the east and west to his banner. Tanshihuai took this opportunity to plunder the border areas of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the south, resisted Ding Ling in the north, repelled Fuyu in the east, attacked Wusun in the west, and completely occupied all the original territory of the Xiongnu, which was more than 14,000 miles long from east to west, and more than 7,000 miles wide from north to south.
In the face of such a heroic, the cadres are not more than a little older in Xianbei, as long as the sandalwood is dissatisfied with it, a lot of dog legs will instantly turn into wolves and tear the cadres to pieces!
"In this battle, you still need your brother's help!" The patriarch of the tribe looked at his younger brother sincerely and said.
Qi Ganqi looked at his brother Qi Ganli, they are not brothers, and their half-blood relationship is not close, and after Qi Ganli attacked and killed his father, who favored his young son after he was old, he ascended the throne, although he was not Qi Ganqi's brothers and sisters, but it had also made the relationship between the two strangers. Qi Ganqi nodded silently and tightened the quiver on his back.
Because his surname is Qigan, the law of the grassland dooms you to be bound to your surname and your tribe for a lifetime, living and dying together until you stop breathing. Just like the twin clans of the Huns. They were born to be kings, and no slave could commit any crime, and their lives could only be judged by the twin clans of their kind!
Although the weather in Jiuyuan County is cold, but the hearts of the people are hot, the Han merchants from the south to the north saw this city, they knew that they had gone back to civilization from the wilderness, regardless of gains and losses, they could go home again. The time for the Chinese New Year is approaching, small traders are peddling New Year's goods, and people who have worked hard for a year will grit their teeth and pull a few feet of flower cloth for their mother-in-law, and sell some fishy meat that they can't usually eat for gluttonous children who are growing up.
The big traders hoarded silk, pottery and other urgently needed items in the grassland in Jiuyuan, which naturally included ironware, grain and other prohibited items, but the unspeakable aristocratic ministers and the "Golden Bullet" offensive behind the scenes made the county commanders and the pawns who watched the gate and collect the city gate tax had to turn a blind eye. Among these various businessmen, there is naturally no shortage of Hu businessmen.
The large and small caravans at the gate of the city are queuing up to enter the city, the front caravan of seven or eight people pushing a few big cars to block the city gate, the soldiers at the gate have been dazzled these days, but Xianbei, Wuheng, and the Xiongnu have invaded the grass valley for many years, and every car must be carefully checked, but these Han merchants are blocking and wanting not to check a big car behind it. The tax officer looked at the flattering caravan leader and said, "Old Li, we are also old acquaintances, and you also know the rule that all goods entering the city must be opened and inspected." What the hell are you......"
"There's nothing, it's all the things that the nobles in Luoyang want, if the villain is gone, I'm afraid he will offend the nobles." Han Shang half threatened. The tax officer's face changed, and this lowly vendor didn't know the rules too much! Even if it is a noble person's things, if they are hidden, someone will naturally accept them into the city. In front of everyone's eyes, how can this make the tax collector step down, if these people are allowed to enter the city like this, the tax collector will not have to mix in this Jiuyuan City.
Thinking of this, the tax official gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Today, I, Wang Yu, still want to see what is in here!" After speaking, Wang Yu stepped forward and forcibly untied the straw mat covering the cart, but several businessmen turned a blind eye and retreated scattered, as if they wanted to stand by. Wang Yu looked down at the car, and several pairs of green eyes in the car stared at Wang Yu's hair.
"What is this?" Wang Yu felt that something was wrong, and a leading caravan guard suddenly took out a short whistle and blew it violently.
"Attack!" Qi Ganli looked at the eagle flying in the sky, and gave an order to the warriors of the tribe behind him, who had long been unable to bear it! And so the war began.
Happy National Day, everyone, eat and have fun, can you have time to help Nan Ke vote, collect a little bit, thank you~
