When the smoke cleared, the heads of the leader of Xirong and yesterday's envoy were cut off by Chen Jian and decorated on his chariot, and their faces were so black that they could no longer be seen clearly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the final battle, Chen Jian did not appreciate the courage of the Xirong people, but ruthlessly crushed the past. In the face of these singing and lamentable courage, the people of Xia Cheng chose to praise them with two rounds of Taolei.

Without these strange weapons, with these more than 200 fearless guards, the Xijon people might have been able to hold out until the wings were withdrawn. In that case, even if they fail, they will not be defeated so neatly, and Xia E's coalition will have to pay a greater price.

Gunpowder capable of spewing lightning clouds is not the first time it has been used on the battlefield, but it is the first time it has been used on the battlefield of thousands. There were the people of Suhe, the people of the Acropolis, the people of Echeng, and the people of Xirong.

They saw with their own eyes that gunpowder could no longer exist silently, and it would become a symbol of the summer city along with wheat, ox ploughing, ridge farming, number shapes, writing, drama, kites, water conservancy, and so on.

Gunpowder has no threshold, like a stirrup, so simple, yet so complex that it affects the course of world history.

The bronze craftsmanship accumulated during the slave era, and the technology that enabled the creation of the chimes of Marquis Yi of Zeng, were completely capable of casting artillery and large-caliber smoothbore guns. With Jian Chen's covert influence, there may not be a need to take too many crooked paths.

After releasing this monster, Jian Chen didn't know what kind of impact it would have on the world, but it would definitely be more interesting than the natural process, with more accidents and surprises.

Relying on the ignorance of the Xijon people about gunpowder, Chen Jian mobilized the Xijon people, and finally tore through the Xijon people's defense line with chariots, laying the foundation for this victory of winning more with less.

The killing of the leader, and the sound of the trumpet before being killed, doomed the Sijon to defeat, and a great defeat, because they had no cavalry and no chariots, and the infantry, having lost their organization and formation, could only be slaughtered by high-speed mobile troops.

After the center broke through, the cavalry and chariots rushed towards the rear of the Xijon people, quickly breaking up the formation of the Xijon people, and the Xijon people fled all over the mountains.

Chen Jian drove the chariot and stuck the head of the leader of Xirong on Changge, and there was a burst of cheers and worship everywhere he went. Even the soldiers of Echeng followed the soldiers of Xia Cheng and chanted Wan Sheng. Jian Chen fulfilled his promise to lead them to victory, and in a month he would be able to return home, carrying slaves and victories, and competing in the sports arena of Summer City.

Everyone knew that Xia Cheng was the main force in this victory, and the soldiers in Echeng were only two hundred fewer than Xia Cheng, but the results achieved were far inferior to Xia Cheng, and those terrible weapons cast a mysterious aura on Chen Jianjian.

When Jian Chen invited Yue to board the car to inspect together, Yue Yue naturally stood on Chen Jian's right, and it was no longer the scene where the two stood side by side in the car before.

The Acropolis people who asked for help prostrate on the ground, grateful to the two cities for sending troops, and admired Chen Jian like a god.

Su He, who had been watching the battle, was secretly frightened and kept the picture of this battle firmly in his mind. He followed his tribe to fight, not that he had never seen a great battle of thousands, but he never imagined that a great battle of thousands would be fought like this.

Nearly 5,000 Xijon men were all defeated, nearly 1,000 were killed, 2,000 captured, and the cavalry was still pursuing the remaining router.

Su He went to check the corpses of the Xirong people who had suffered a volley of wooden cannons, the stones were all over the body, the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was several times more miserable than beheading.

And the surviving peasants were even more terrible than these corpses, their faces were covered with blood, their bodies were covered with heads, but the corners of their mouths showed smiles and teeth, and they ran to the side of the military judge and piled down the heads, swearing that these were not the heads they had picked up, but they had killed themselves.

Su He knew that it was not these subordinate peasants who decided the victory, but the group of people who were called the New Army by Chen Jian. These people killed the most, were the most courageous, and made the greatest contributions. But they sat quietly on the battlefield at this time, letting the people next to them gather the corpses, but they took out the jerky and chewed it, and after the battle, they were as calm as if they were tired in their own fields.

If the wooden cannons and gunpowder shocked Su He, then these subordinate peasants and the new army made Su He afraid. He knew how terrible it was for a group of soldiers to laugh and snatch heads after killing, and it was hard to see such soldiers on both sides of a great river; He also knew that the soldiers who were as calm as water after the killing were even more terrifying, and that there were no such soldiers on both sides of the river.

The population of Xia Cheng is not large, but Su He is sure at this time that even if it is a large clan of 10,000 people, it is not Xia Cheng's opponent when fighting on the flat land...... Xia Cheng can already be called a big city in the right place.

Listening to the whistling sound on the battlefield, Su He seemed to have seen the scene of the victory of the Great River tribes over Dongyi many years ago, and that grand occasion had passed twenty years.

Involuntarily, Su He thought of what Chen Jian said yesterday when he faced the envoy of the Xirong people: those tribes who did not abide by the original oath of their relatives, he would bring people to let them know the price of betraying the oath.

Perhaps, he really did...... I invited him to go on a winter hunt, right? Is it wrong? Is this the bravest wolf who really values his kinship? Or do you want to be the challenger of the head wolf? ”

…………

On the chariot, Jian Chen and E Yue arrived at a hillside and temporarily left everyone's sight.

"Leader Eyue, we are only a few dozen miles away from the Acropolis, the Xijon army has been defeated, and it is difficult for those Xijon people to resist, if they know the news first, I am afraid they will flee to the mountains and forests. Once upon a time, the Sijon people in those villages were slaves of the Acropolis, but now they are our captives and do not need to be informed of the Acropolis. I suggest that we leave some people to guard the captives and return to Xia City first, while the rest of us immediately set off to the Xijon village and capture the captives. ”

Eyue is indispensable, the two hit it off, and agreed that this time the battle uniforms Xia Cheng accounted for seventy percent, and E Cheng accounted for thirty percent.

The distribution of interests still depends on strength, and the high-sounding of this expedition is for the sake of brothers and relatives, perhaps partly for part, but more importantly, to eliminate the threat of the Xijon people and capture more slaves...... as well as weakening the strength of the Acropolis.

These rioting Xirong slaves were originally part of the Acropolis, but Chen Jian and E Yue secretly discussed, and after taking away Qingzhuang and the children, the remaining people were all killed on the charge of rioting, so that the Xirong settlements around the Acropolis would no longer be inhabited, so that the Acropolis would have no chance even if it wanted to continue to deprive those people.

As a result of this battle, the Acropolis lost at least thousands of serfs who were forced to pay half of their grain.

After the civil strife, it will be difficult to rise for a long time, and once there is any trouble, it can only rely on the power of Xia Cheng and E City...... It is even very likely that there will be a group of relatives who are eager to use the power of the two cities to realize their personal ambitions, after all, it seems that the two cities of Xia and E are stronger and more trustworthy than the Xijon people.

Maybe the Acropolis will change its own flawed slavery system after this experience, or maybe it will sink into the end. However, even if it is to be changed, it will be difficult for the Acropolis to be on an equal footing with Xia E and Xia E within five years.

Before the initial dispatch of troops, in addition to being busy with the summer harvest, Chen Jian also hoped that the contradictions within the Acropolis would accumulate and ferment after the siege, and even if the siege was lifted, these fermented contradictions would have already appeared, and it would no longer be the time to be suppressed by the victorious and plundered slaves before.

E Yue is also the leader of a city, and there are some things that Jian Chen doesn't need to say so bluntly, but he still thinks of some things that are related to his interests.

The two agreed to plunder the surrounding Xirong villages for three days, and after three days, they cleaned up the army and went to the Acropolis with the heads of the Xirong people.

Bounded by a hill, the Xirong villages in the east belong to Echeng, and the Xirong villages in the west belong to Xiacheng.

After cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers of the two cities separated and followed the team to the villages.

The relatives surnamed Wei and Yuan and the others followed Chen Jian to act, and that night Xia Cheng's army surrounded a village that originally belonged to the Acropolis but had rebelled, and concentrated all the people at the entrance of the village.

The originally lost and depressed relatives surnamed Wei were arrogant at this time, and took out a whip to whip these Xirong people who had just rebelled, and Yuan shook his head secretly behind him.

These Xijon people are indeed not of the same mind as the Acropolis, but before the beating, you must think clearly, do you need these people to farm the land in the future? Or do you want to completely exterminate them? If they are all wiped out, the system of the Acropolis will have to be changed, otherwise they will not be able to support so many slave owners.

Chen Jian was very indulgent in the practices of these relatives surnamed Wei, and even asked the soldiers to help them maintain order, but he never allowed his own soldiers to do anything, and kept saying things that were both a watch and a memorial arch.

This is an era when things need to be done in a proper manner, in other words, people are still relatively easy to be fooled by those in charge.

Chen Jian explained to those Xirong people: In the past, you were slaves of the Acropolis, as long as you worked hard, the Acropolis people would never kill you. But now that you are rebelling, you must know the consequences of rebellion, so for the sake of the Acropolis, you who participated in the rebellion must be killed. The people of Xia Cheng were invited by the Acropolis people, this is the land of the Acropolis, and it is these Wei relatives who decide your fate.

The relatives of the Acropolis did not think so much, but only thought about revenge, so they used the most cruel criminal law of the Acropolis, using a few oxen to tie up a few respected old men and tear them apart, using them to intimidate those who rebelled.

Some people even thought of Xia Cheng's wooden cannon with great genius, and suggested that Chen Jian could tie people to the cannon and smash them, which would be more deterrent. Chen Jian used the excuse that there were not many wooden cannons to block the past.

Yuan Leng watched the actions of these relatives surnamed Wei, knowing that after this time, the entire Acropolis might change drastically.

These relatives depend on exploitation to provide for themselves, and those families with surnames also depend on these slaves to live, once the slaves are gone, what will become of the Acropolis?

It seems that these relatives are angry at the rebellion of the Xijon people, but in the long run, this is to dig the foundation of the Acropolis.

However, there are times when it needs to be properly tightened, and Yuan understands that if he continues to kill like this, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the Acropolis and the Xirong people in these villages, even if they dare not resist for the time being, but once there is any trouble, it will be the same as this time, what should they do when the time comes?

However, he was only a cattle herd with no surname, and when he raised his doubts, he was pushed aside by the argument that the countryside could know how to manage slaves. (To be continued.) )
