Chapter 18: The New Leader

"Lord, it's time to kill now!" Ding Li stood up from behind the cover with an excited face, looked at the Karasuma people who were running away in embarrassment, and waved the war knife in his hand fiercely.

"There's no hurry." Ye Zhao shook his head: "My soldiers, but they are all treasures, don't say 3,000 Karasuma, 30,000 Karasuma for me, I feel a loss, continue to release arrows!" Also, find someone who understands Karasuma's dialect, and I'll shout in a while. ”

"Whoa!"

Under Ye Zhao's suppression, the warriors hiding on the low mountain did not kill them, but continued to run along the low mountain in the direction of the pass, while releasing arrows.

Although the Karasuma people have lost their courage, even if they have suffered setbacks one after another, the number of people is now several times or even more than ten times that of Ye Zhao, and it is unwise to kill them at this moment.

On the cliff on the side of the pass, Guan Hai had already ordered someone to block the pass with falling rocks and sassy wood, and seeing that the Karasuma people sent someone to clean it up, an order was given, and countless rocks were smashed down, and the flesh and blood of the Karasuma warriors who wanted to clean up the pass were scattered.

Ye Zhao led the men and horses to approach the pass, and the arrows never stopped, but the gap in numbers between the two sides was too great, so that even if they suffered setbacks one after another and their morale was low, in terms of numbers, the Karasuma people still had an absolute advantage, but their morale had been lost, and this advantage might turn into a disadvantage.

"Stop." Ye Zhao waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly stopped releasing the arrows, and the Karasuma people in the chaos may not have noticed it, but Ye Zhao had already discovered that the strength of the arrows shot by the soldiers had begun to decline, and the range and frequency were also decreasing, and the physical strength of the soldiers had begun to wear out.

"Go!" Ye Zhao turned his head, looked at the common man who was proficient in Wuhuan dialect, and said in a deep voice: "Don't lose the majesty of my Han family, after this battle, this official will be rewarded." ”

"Whoa!"

After agreeing, he quickly came down from the mountain, and shouted at a group of Wuhuan people in Wuhuan language: "Fellow Wuhuan warriors, my lord has something to say." ”

Looking at a group of Wuhuan people who gradually calmed down, the man said loudly: "You are sheltered by my horse city, so that you have today's prosperity, but you don't want to be grateful, but you come to invade my city, originally, my lord is to kill you and so on, but God has the virtue of a good life, my lord is not easy to think of you, and today's things are also instigated by traitors, is to prepare the net to open one side, only punish the evil, and, my lord has a word, the head of Aguli will continue to be shaded by my horse city, not only can continue to trade in my horse city, It can also be a hundred stones. ”

When many Karasuma people heard this, their eyes at Aguli became unkind, and the man continued: "Before noon, if you can't hand over Aguli's head, then my lord will no longer show mercy, where to go, I hope you warriors think deeply." ”

After speaking, he ignored the reactions of those Karasuma people, turned around directly, and returned to the low mountain, Ye Zhao also asked everyone to hurry up and rest, if these Karasuma people are not provoked for a while, I am afraid that there will be another fight.

However, Ye Zhao obviously overestimated the cohesion of the Aguli tribe, after all, Aguli's tribe has only risen in recent years, and many people in the tribe were snatched from other tribes.

"What do you want to do!?" Aguli looked at the gaze of these people, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and the cronies around him hurriedly protected Aguli, but in this way, it was a sign of weakness, and the momentum of the Karasuma people, who were originally a little hesitant, suddenly rose with Aguli's retreat.

"Kill him!" In the crowd, I don't know who it was, let out a loud shout, and a sharp arrow shot one of Aguli's cronies, which also kicked off the prelude to infighting.

"Kill!"

On the low mountain, looking at the Karasuma warriors who were robes not long ago, but now they were fighting together as if they had an enmity against the heavens, a flash of amazement flashed in Qiu Chi's eyes, and he turned his head to Ye Zhao and saluted deeply: "The lord is clever, and his subordinates are obedient." ”

"It's this person who doesn't know where to go or what to do." Ye Zhao found a piece of bluestone and sat down, looked at the good show below, shook his head and said: "Angry and raise troops, self-reliance and bravery, although the number is heavy, but the hearts of the people are different, homeopathy can still kill the enemy together, but once there is a setback, it will become a plate of loose sand, this person is undefeated, what is the reason?" ”

To deal with Aguli, it is not a temporary idea, as early as when he was dormant in Macheng before, Ye Zhao had already studied Aguli's power, and he naturally knew the shortcomings of Aguli's forces, otherwise even if he was confident, it would be impossible to use hundreds of people to compete with other people's 3,000 cavalry, and if he was not careful, he would be easily killed, and the risk was too great.

"Does the lord really want to cooperate with the Aguli tribe?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao cautiously: "My subordinates are worried that they will repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

"Use it or use it, after this battle, the vitality of the Aguli tribe is greatly injured, it is the weakest time, even if there is no them, we still have to do this war horse trade, instead of raising another wolf, it is better to continue to use this sick wolf, but the lesson of the past, we still have to take it as a warning, after the Macheng stabilizes, contact a few more tribes, Xianbei people, Huns, Karasuma people, let them fight by themselves, only if they fight, Macheng can prosper." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"The lord is far-sighted, and he can't be late." When Qiu Chi heard this, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, if this is the case, this horse city is not only not a dangerous place, but a cornucopia!

"Don't say these things are false, send someone to count those war horses in a while, keep those who can be used, and make minced meat if they can't be used, after this battle, Ma Cheng needs to increase some troops." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

He has a school establishment, and now it is only less than 200 people, and there is not much that can be done, and after this battle, he must successively complete this school establishment, and have an army in hand, in order to better deter these Hu people.

"Whoa!"

As the two talked, the battle below became more and more intense, and Aguli had already inserted several arrows into his body, and he still couldn't figure it out, he originally came to find Ye Zhao to be unlucky, but why did he fight with his own people inexplicably in the end?

"You're crazy!" Aguli slashed a former henchman warrior with a single sword, looking at the group of Karasuma warriors who pounced on him with red eyes around him, and at the moment there were fewer and fewer people left to fight with him, and an endless sense of grievance rose in his heart, and roared at the people around him.

"Huh~"

An arrow pierced Aguli's throat, Aguli's eyes widened, the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, his hands clasped around his neck, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"Puff puff~"

Just at this moment, several blades pierced his body, the burly body trembled uncontrollably, a pair of eyes stared at the low mountain, a fierce Karasuma warrior came to his side, the surrounding Karasuma people retreated on their own, and saw this Karasuma warrior snort, his hand raised his knife, and cut off Agul's head.

Seeing that Aguli was killed in battle, the Karasuma warrior picked up the head from the ground, strode out of the crowd, stepped on the horse trap on the ground and came to the foot of the low mountain, threw Aguli's head to the ground, knelt on one knee, and clenched his right hand into his chest.

Ye Zhao got up from the bluestone, led everyone out of the bunker to the bottom of the mountain, looked at the Karasuma man kneeling in front of him, Ye Zhao stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Good archery skills, what's your name?" ”

"Go back to your lordship, dig bald, and be willing to be loyal to your lordship." He said in jerky Chinese.

"Very good, we Han people, pay attention to a promise, from today on, you are the leader of this tribe, and you can continue the previous trade, but this official hopes that the matter of Aguli will not happen again." Ye Zhao looked at the Karasuma warrior in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"As long as the adults give an order, they will take the tribe to naturalize." Dig bald and said in a deep voice.

"It's good to have this heart, but if you want to naturalize, not everyone can do it, you need to prove your worth first." Ye Zhao is very satisfied with the attitude of digging the bald, but naturalization, he can't agree, even if he experiences this defeat, the tribe of the digging bald still has a population of more than 6,000, if it is incorporated into Macheng all of a sudden, the administrative pressure will inevitably increase greatly, and now the garrison of Macheng is weak, once it is difficult to enter the city, even if it is Ye Zhao, there is no way to suppress it in a short time.

"Please make it clear!" Dig bald and bow.

"Macheng needs a population, a lot of population, I heard that there are a lot of Han slaves on the grassland, my Macheng is willing to exchange salt and iron, in addition, women and children can also be called, and the war horse business will continue to be done, but in the future, we can use weapons and grain to exchange, and when the population of Macheng exceeds 10,000 households, I will not only allow your tribe to naturalize, but can even make you an official and make you a general." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir!" Digging bald bowed towards Ye Zhao.

"Take your men back." Ye Zhao glanced at the Karasuma people who were still alive in the distance, and smiled, "Be careful of being attacked by someone." ”

"Yes, dig bald and retire." Di Bald once again performed a grassland salute to Ye Zhao before directing people to start cleaning the pass.

Guan Hai got Ye Zhao's order, and he had already come down from the pass, Ye Zhao asked Meng Hu to command the people who came with him to start cleaning up the battlefield, burying the trapped horse pit, collecting the undead war horses, and transferred wooden carts from the city to start carrying the corpses of the war horses, as for the corpses of the Karasuma people, in order to avoid the plague, Ye Zhao asked people to bury them on the spot.

It wasn't until the evening that Di Bald led people to re-dredge the pass, and after saying goodbye to Ye Zhao, he left, and Ye Zhao didn't let Ding Li and Guan Hai take the soldiers who had been hidden in the mountain to go down the mountain to help clean up the scene until the Karasuma people left completely.
