One hundred and thirty-two routs
……
Seeing that the two sides had temporarily stopped fighting each other, Tuta immediately spoke: "Now let's think carefully about what to do next, and don't mess with ourselves now!" ”
When everyone heard Tuta say this, they couldn't help but nod their heads, feeling that what he said made sense, the enemy was still approaching outside the city, and this was really not the time for infighting. Vertex Says X 23 U OM
Zaze continued: "I said, defend the town, will that group of officers and soldiers still fly in? When they run out of food and retreat, we will make a decision on whether to attack or turn the plug outside! ”
Tuta shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about whether our Hulan warriors have experience in defending the city, even if they have, this Wushan Town may not be able to defend it!" ”
When you heard this, you immediately retorted: "Tuta, I respect you as a man, and you are kind, and the patriarch of this clan also respects you very much on weekdays, but are you raising the morale of others and destroying your own prestige?" What's so hard about defending a city? Shall they not stand on the tower of the city, and throw their bows and arrows and stones at the attacking enemy? What's so hard about it?"
After hearing this, Tuta secretly said to this idiot, if it was really so easy to go to Yuanzhou City a long time ago, would he only loot some manor fortresses every time he went south? But of course, he couldn't say this, he could only explain: "My Hulan warriors are good at riding and shooting, not the way of defending the city, although the words of the patriarch of Youqi are right, but how can the cavalry have the reason to hold the city?"
"Hmm......" The voice of the patriarch made him very useful, and he couldn't help but pretend to nod in agreement.
"Then you mean that you should send warriors to fight them to the death again?" When Komur heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"No!" Tuta refused, "Now my Hulan warriors are exhausted and demoralized, and they can no longer go out of the city to fight those officers and soldiers!" And now they have just won a while, and their morale is magnificent, even if there are still three thousand knights in the city who have not been dispatched, it is not enough to fight against them......"
When Zaze heard this, he immediately said: "This defense is not either, nor is it attacking, so what do you mean?" ”
Hearing this, everyone, including Komur, also looked at Tuta with a puzzled face.
Tuta continued: "Guarding is the most stupid act, and the chieftains should still remember the terrible flames on the battlefield, right?" Think about what would happen if those flames were thrown into the town? ”
"Hiss......" Everyone recalled the scene of the terrible fire and smoke on the battlefield that took the lives of countless warriors, Zaze and Tuoyou also gasped, how could they almost forget this stubble, once those "heavenly fires" were really thrown into the town, they and their clansmen would probably be buried in the fire......
"Do they dare?" Komur said coldly, "There are more than 500,000 people imprisoned in the town, don't they even care about these people? ”
Tuta asked rhetorically: "Then may I ask the Komur warriors, have you ever seen the officers and soldiers of the Far East have ever been merciful to the people?" If we really care about their lives, will we still have such a rich harvest every year when we go south? ”
Komur was silent, what Tuta said was indeed reasonable, how could the group of dog officials in the Far East care about the lives of the people, I heard that Jiang Xun in Yuanzhou had offered a reward of two hundred taels of silver for the heads of the Hulan warriors, and that group of brave officers and soldiers would definitely do whatever it took to win the reward, how could they be merciful to the people in the town?
Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, Tuta said, "Moreover, even if they don't use the heavenly fire to attack the city, then how can we cut off the waterway?" Food is indeed abundant for us, but if the water source is cut off, the warriors will die of thirst in two days, what will happen then? Will you drink the blood of the people and quench your thirst? ”
Everyone in the hall nodded at Tuta's words, and the eyes in Komur's eyes flashed with a hint of approval in addition to a hint of approval. This Tuta is the biggest threat to his position as the patriarch in the future, and he must be guarded against.
"What the hell are we going to do now?" Everyone thought about it carefully, and felt that it was better to ask him how to deal with the crisis in front of him......
Tuta said: "There is only one way, before the group of officers and soldiers arrive, immediately withdraw from Wushan Town!" Return to Jizhou by returning to Yangu! ”
"Tuta! Are you kidding? Zaze immediately said loudly, "More than 500,000 people plus so much grain and grass will drag down our march, and then I am afraid that under the pursuit of that group of officers and soldiers all the way, what should we do if the sheep are forced to bite back?" ”
Zaze's words resonated with the rest of the people, fleeing, they didn't have any psychological burden, anyway, the army was so tough, it was not surprising that it couldn't be defeated. And the difficult thing is to coerce such a large number of people and baggage, how to avoid the pursuit of that group of officers and soldiers! Especially the white-robed heavy cavalry and the monsters with human and horse armor, so that they didn't even dare to think about it, it was a nightmare......
Seeing the commotion among the crowds, Tuta immediately said, "I'm talking about giving up these people's baggage and carrying only a few days' rations and riding lightly!" ”
"Don't want the people and the baggage of the captivity?" When Tule heard Tuta's words, he suddenly felt like listening to a book from heaven, and felt extremely incredible, and the money and food slaves who finally got it said that they didn't want it, and they didn't want it?
The rest of the people are also unable to accept Tuta's proposal, this mood is an analogy is that everyone finally came to the Far East to make a fortune, and now the wealth has been in hand, and is about to drag back to the grassland to "return home", but suddenly someone tells you that these wealth are hot potatoes, it is a life talisman, and you may die if you take it, and no one can give it up......
"Don't do it!" Tuta immediately said, "Staying here is a dead end, and if you abandon these burdens, you can return to the grassland alive!" As long as the warriors of our steppe are alive, are you afraid that there will be no such things outside your body? ”
"But...... "How can you survive this winter without these supplies?" In addition, Shicai's battle lost such a large number of warriors, and the clan must have to reduce a lot this year......"
"yes...... You're right......"
"It's a pity that these Dingkou baggage were captured with great difficulty, so it's a pity to let them go like this......"
"Even if you give up, how can the Khan's side explain, not to mention the loss of so many warriors......"
The crowd began to discuss, but Komur did not say a word, and kept thinking about whether Tuta's words were feasible......
Tuta saw that these high-ranking tribal leaders, who were usually majestic, now ignored the overall situation for the sake of immediate interests, and immediately said loudly: "Leaders! Time is of the essence, you don't have time to think about it! If you insist on staying here and waiting to die, then I will not accompany you! With that, he got up and walked out.
"Wait!" Komur suddenly stopped Tuta and said to the crowd, "Good! I listen to Tuta! There is a saying in the Central Plains that if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood! As long as the warriors of my tribe can survive, they will definitely get back today's shame tenfold and hundredfold in the future! ”
After speaking, Komur also stood up directly, and the rest of the leaders saw that Komur was also like this, so they had to agree to come down, after all, saving their lives is the most important thing.
Seeing that everyone had agreed to give up the population of the town, Komur said fiercely: "However, I can't cheap that group of officers and soldiers, I will kill all these people, and then set fire to the city, they don't think of a grain of rice for each person!" ”
"No way!" Tuta hurriedly said, "Komur, if you really do this, then even if we can return to the steppe, we will at least lose more than half of our warriors!" ”
"What does that mean?" When Komur heard Tuta say this, he was immediately very dissatisfied.
Tuta said: "Have you ever thought about it, since those officers and soldiers are rushing to the money and food population of Wushan Town, if you really burn them, what will they do?" We're going to be in hot pursuit! What are the chances of winning again? Look at those warriors who participated in the battle, how many of them still have the courage to raise their scimitars against those officers and soldiers? Don't make any more extraneous branches, hurry up, it's too late! ”
Comur pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, and at the same time became more wary of Tuta, such a person who knows the overall situation exists, and he must be on guard against it at all times......
"Count the five days' dry food, fill the hose with water, and let's go!" Komur ordered loudly, and the hall was quickly empty, leaving only the tables and chairs that had been overturned to the floor......
"Gone! Let's go, let's go back to the grassland! On the main road in the town, several Hu leaders kept calling their subordinates and gathered to prepare to leave the town.
When the Hulan people who had just returned from the battlefield heard the shout, they could only endure their exhaustion, stepped on their horses again, and slowly walked out of the town......
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Taking advantage of the dissipation of the last sunset in the northwest, nearly 7,000 Hulan people began to leave Wushan Town with heavy horses' hooves and march in the direction of Huiyan Valley, which is 120 miles away......
Less than an hour after the Hulan people left, Liu Ce's Jingwei battalion also drove to the city of Wushan Town......
"It seems that the Hulan people have really left ......"
When Liu Ce saw that the gate of Wushan Town was open at night and there were faintly visible horseshoe prints on the ground, he had already determined that the information sent by Su Wencan's scouts was completely true......
"However, these Hu people are really courageous, so many people and money and food will give up." Fu Yunxiao, who was beside Liu Ce, was a little surprised by the decision of the Hulan people to abandon their burdens and leave resolutely.
After hearing this, Liu Ce said: "That's natural, these cunning Hu people are not stupid, they know that they can't go far with hundreds of thousands of people and baggage, once they are caught up by our army, it will inevitably be another bloody battle, they can't afford it, and if I am the commander of Hu Qi, I will also make this decision." ”
Fu Yunxiao nodded, and said to Liu Ce: "General, then let's go into the city now." ”
Liu Ce said: "Okay, tell the soldiers that they must not harm those people, inform Xu Hui to send people to keep vigil, cook water and cook rice by the way, vacate the empty houses in the town, and place the wounded soldiers first......"
"Yes! The last general will go and inform the envoy Xu Ying. Fu Yunxiao agreed and walked towards Xu Hui's location.
"Hiss......" After Fu Yunxiao left, Liu Ce took a hard breath, the pain in his right shoulder became more and more painful, he had to find a place to put some medicine, otherwise the entire right arm might be useless, he didn't tell anyone that he didn't want the soldiers to worry about himself, fortunately, he brought some plasters for the treatment of heavy knife wounds on his body, and waited for a place to apply it himself......
"Hu Kou......" Liu Ce looked in the direction of returning to Yangu in the dark, and said fiercely, "Do you think the battle is over?" No, not yet...... Returning to Wild Goose Valley is your final destination! ”
After saying that, Liu Ce pulled the reins of the horse and entered the city, and at the same time read in his heart: "Mr. Qin, I have done everything that should be done, and it will be up to you next......
