Chapter 47: The Shaking of Dongyi (11)

When the sun was still in the sky, Chen Jian walked slowly into Moucheng from the city gate, and the whole siege battle was over, leaving only some sporadic resistance, but it was meaningless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

There were not many corpses piled up, and most of them had been captured in the previous ambushes, and the slaves did not hesitate to rebel after the Xia army entered the city, setting fires everywhere and rounding up their masters, because the Xia army's propaganda team used the obedient miners to preach that sometimes words were sharper than swords.

When the city wall was blown open, Moucheng had already lost the carefulness of resistance, and there was no precedent for winning street battles in this era, let alone this concept.

The city wall is the commanding height of the city, and it is also the passage of the city, and normally speaking, the end of the siege for a long time has always been marked by the fall of the city wall.

Some of the people who fled in a hurry were caught by the noble heirs of the rest of the cities that were lying in ambush outside the city, but the female leader of Mu Cheng, Mu Hu, did not flee, fulfilled her promise and stood with the people in the city, obeyed the rules of this era, and surrendered.

The female leader of Mu City, Mu Hu, was captured, and all the seventeen clan leaders who were captured were escorted over, and the soldiers cleaned the smell of blood near the government hall, and Chen Jian took the relatives and heirs of the rest of the cities to the government hall as victors, erected wooden poles and hung the banners of black and white bears and dragons.

More than 12,000 people were captured in the city, both Dongyi and slaves, most of whom were women. About 1,600 slaves rebelled against their masters during the siege and sided with Xiacheng, and at this time they were leading Xiacheng people to loot the city's warehouses and capture the women hiding in the corners.

When Mu Hu was escorted to Chen Jianjian's side, he didn't have much emotion, as if he had known that the city would fall.

Her escort did not act abusively towards her, and although being a woman always gave birth to a perverted pleasure of conquest, it did not apply to an army that had escaped from its beastly nature.

The woman is actually not good-looking, strong and tall, it can be seen that she is the kind of woman who can control the string dance, and she is very heroic.

She was not afraid of anything, nor did she bow her head and cry because she was captured, she looked at Jian Chen levelly, and did not forget her identity as the leader.

Before Jian Chen could speak, Mu Hu spoke first.

"Ji Xia has won, but please don't slaughter my people. Qiongxi has also captured a lot of you, and I think Ji Xia will exchange with him. When you slaughter us here, you slaughter your relatives of the great rivers. Since Xia Cheng's army can penetrate deep into our hinterland and capture Mu City, I am afraid that these slaves are not something that Ji Xia can look up to, and the prestige brought by rescuing relatives is far from being comparable to the number of slaves, isn't it? For a big-hearted leader, fame is more important than tens of thousands of slaves. ā€

Jian Chen smiled and listened to these words, nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but I don't know how many things Qiongxi Qiongxi will be willing to spend in exchange for you to go back?" ā€

"I'm afraid hundreds of people won't be able to carry it. Mu Cheng has fallen, I don't know what Ji Xia will do next? Qiongxi is already on the way back, although the soldiers of Xia City are brave, but don't forget that the warriors in Mu City are all in the Qiongxi army. So Ji Xia should retire, these people are enough for you to exchange with Qiongxi, and your reputation will also shock the Great River Tribes. ā€

Jian Chen shook his head and said, "I said, if Qiongxi catches one of us, I will catch two." The next step, of course, is to capture a few more cities before Qiongxi returns to the army, if you are interested, you may wish to follow and see, and when you are released, you can also tell Qiongxi that surrendering tribute is the best way. ā€

"I said he didn't believe it, and since he was willing to spend hundreds of people to carry the goods in exchange for you, she might believe what you said. I'm only afraid that the dome will see you as a garment to be discarded at any time, or just a tool to reproduce. ā€

This kind of provocation is meaningless, Mu Hu chuckled: "It seems that Ji Xia must be that kind of person, I really feel sorry for your woman." As for me, I'm not the kind of slave girl who just wants to vent my desires or have children. I am the leader of Mu City, and there are many warriors in Mu City, even if Qiongxi is as ruthless as you, he will replace me back. Moreover...... He's not as ruthless as you are. ā€

"If Ji Xia doesn't dislike me for being stupid, I want to follow and see how Ji Xia attacked the city, but I don't want Ji Xia to be ashamed to be seen by me and kill me when she fails. The leader of the alliance of the Great River tribes is not Ji Xia, but Su Yue. Ji Xia was able to capture Mucheng so quickly, but I am afraid that it is not only our Dongyi people who are worried, but also the cities of the Great River Tribes. Has Ji Xia ever seen a wolf pack fight? ā€

"I want to hear about it."

"The young wolf will always hide its fangs and claws until it grows up, and only when it can challenge the old wolf king one day, will the rest of the wolves be let until it has fangs and claws. Ji Xia is young, with sharp claws and sharp teeth, is this a good thing? ā€

Chen Jian laughed after hearing this, and then said, "So they are wolves." I kept their skins warm on their beds, and I domesticated their souls into canine gardens. And we are human beings, human beings can think, so people know that the young can grow up, and if the old wolf does not abdicate, there will naturally be a pack of wolves to force him to retreat. ā€

"Besides, this is the business of our Great River Tribes, even if we beat out our brains, what is the matter with you Dongyi people?"

Mu Hu was stunned and speechless for a long time, Chen Jian waved his hand and said: "You pick a few people, quickly go and report to Qiongxi, just say that Mu City has been breached, and Xia Cheng's army is powerful and terrifying." Tell him again that I will continue to attack, and tell him to come back slowly, and not to go too fast. Because I may set up an ambush in the valley, and if I go fast and there is no scout, I will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and I must walk slowly when passing through paths, rivers, valleys, and dense forests. Also, don't be harsh on our relatives on the road, or I will do the same to you. ā€

asked someone to take Mu Hu to personally select the people who were familiar with the captured Qiongxi to report the news, and then began to search everything in Mu City, count the seized materials, and screen the craftsmen to treat them differently.

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that everything was cleaned up.

A total of millions of catties of corn were found, piled up like a mountain, and they could only be roughly estimated if they could not be weighed, and these corns were enough for more than 10,000 people in Moucheng to eat for one and a half to two years, which can be regarded as the wealth accumulated for several years.

There were tens of thousands of arrows, countless other feathers, lacquer glue, and even a few extremely beautiful curved bows, which were more detailed than simple one-piece wooden bows.

The bamboo is the fetus, the horn is pasted on the outside, and the bow body is one step long, but the power is no less than the big bow that is one and a half steps long in Xia Cheng. If it is shorter, the riders will have more bows that can be harassed.

Chen Jian pulled the horn bow, and tried it to be much stronger than those bows in Xia Cheng, even if Xia Cheng's bow had learned to stick to the horns to increase elasticity, but the power and accuracy were still insufficient.

After inquiring about the captured craftsman and learning that it would take two years to make such a bow, Jian Chen shook his head and felt that it was better to forget it, Xia Cheng's long-range projection ability should still think of another way.

Since there are such horn bows, there must have been quite a few cattle, most of which were used for riding or carrying goods, and the rest were probably used for food, and there were quite a few of them.

There are more than 1,500 cattle, thousands of sheep, in addition to hundreds of exquisite jade tools, various stone tools, and several bronze tools.

These seizures made everyone excited, but Chen Jian found that in terms of the current general production capacity, what a city has accumulated for several years is only that, and it is really not as good as what the Yucheng workshop group produces in a year.

Things are secondary, what matters is those who are captured, and this is what he wants most.

The more than 10,000 people captured plus some captured before are already about fifteen,000, which is enough to exchange those captured relatives with Qiongxi, but those people don't have to be exchanged back, and some people are better off staying on Qiongxi's side.

He thinks Qiongxi is a smart person, so he thinks there's a lot to be done here. Maybe this time I really want to help Qiongxi once, and use each other to achieve the goals that both want from each other, but I don't know if Qiongxi will understand.

The biggest headache for him is the leader of the windy city, compared to the wind, the leader of another city was taken by the firmament, which is easy to solve. But Feng Miao is still alive, and it is near the foothold of Xia Cheng, and everyone knows that he has followed him on the expedition.

How to let him die quietly, how to let him die so that people will not suspect this, this has become the primary issue he has to consider after the victory.

It was the best way to get rid of it by the hands of the Dongyi people, but he couldn't think of how to implement it; He couldn't make sure that others wouldn't see that he had done it.

Many things that the leader had to think about were different from what the clansmen thought, and the people of Xiacheng frowned when they looked at their leader this day, thinking that they were thinking about the same problems as them.

They had to consider more details, since the establishment of Yucheng gradually stabilized, and when the planning system began to operate, Chen Jian had already begun to let go of many things and exercise everyone's abilities.

With the increasing population, he can only focus on the general direction, and can no longer manage trivial things like managing a small city of thousands of people, and all the details below have to be considered by others.

Because of this, many people faced with mountains of materials and slaves thought that Chen Jian was thinking about this problem like them.

So someone found Jian Chen and asked, "Ji Xia, how can you transport so many things?" It was impossible for the ships to carry all this food, and the west wind was about to blow. The cattle, sheep, arrows and captured Dongyi people can all be transported away, which can save a large part of the people for Xia Cheng, shall we withdraw now? ā€

Jian Chen shook his head and said, "Withdraw? Only then did he capture a city of Mu. Now that so many Dongyi slaves have been replenished, although they are unbearable to fight, but they still have the courage of flesh and blood, it is the best way to use it to reach the city wall and dig down the city wall with a shovel, and it is also the best choice to let them besiege and kill those Dongyi people after entering the city, and they can capture a city in three or five days, and it will take at least half a month to come back, why evacuate? ā€

The man who proposed it was puzzled, "But now that so many slaves are already a drag, what if they are attacked by the rest of the city?" This place is nearly two hundred miles from our foothold, and it will take four or five days to reach the least, so if we don't send them there, what is the benefit of our victory? ā€

Jian Chen thought for a moment and said, "Aren't there slaves who have taken refuge in us?" A thousand people were selected to escort these people back, promising them the identity of others, but not from the Xia City system; Land was promised to them, but not land reclaimed by Xia City. Take these thousand men to escort, and send our five hundred men to follow. ā€

"Let's go and select a thousand and five slaves to follow us on the expedition, and give them the same promise. The field battle does not depend on them, and it is estimated that there will be no more field battles before the return of the firmament. Once the city is broken, they can rush up, and our people will suffer less losses. Tomorrow you will rest for a day, and continue eastward, and you will stay behind and command the people to carry away the cattle, sheep, arrows, and grain, and burn all that cannot be carried away. ā€

"As for the nearby cities, they don't dare to send troops, even if we pass under their noses."

Faced with the distrustful expressions of the clansmen, Chen Jian found the jade artifacts of Mu Hu and other Mucheng rulers or other things that symbolized their identity, and asked some sharp-tongued young people in Xia Cheng to send a message to several cities that were not the basic plate of the Qiongxi with some attached Dongyi slaves.

"Will a word of mouth make those Dongyi cities so stable?"

The clansmen were a little unconvinced, Chen Jian thought for a moment and confirmed: "Yes." Whether they are safe or not depends not on this message, but only on how far away from here is the dome. ā€
