The galloping chariot finally stopped, and the scattered enemy troops did not need the chariot to chase, and when the chariot passed by the soldiers cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers of Xia Cheng involuntarily stopped, looked at Chen Jian standing on the chariot, and shouted his name loudly.

The pursuing riders had blocked the valley, and although there were many times more people fleeing from the valley than fifty riders, they had no desire to fight, and no one could escape as a result of their desperate escape.

It took nearly twenty days from defense to counterattack, and it reached the limit of Xia City's logistics, but it also achieved the result that Chen Jian wanted, turning a defensive war of attrition into a war of annihilation.

The statistics of the battlefield have not yet come out, and everyone in Xia City knows that this is a big victory. The tanuki who was following Jian Chen listened to the bursts of cheers coming from the battlefield, ran to a small dirt slope, and shouted loudly: "The leader of Xia City, we don't recognize anyone except Ji Xia!" ”

Carrying the prestige of a great victory, the new army, which was still formed next to the dirt slope and did not pursue, also shouted loudly: "Yes! Except for Ji Xia, no one is qualified to be the leader! ”

Their cries overshadowed the rest of the people, and the crowd shouted in unison, and the entire battlefield reverberated with Jian Chen's name.

When his chariot passed through the crowd, the people would spontaneously make a way and shout or throw their loot knick-knacks at the cart.

Seeing this scene in the distance, E's heart trembled, and she fantasized about when she would be so supported by her people.

Originally, he wanted to participate in the battle, relying on a few brave clansmen around him to cut off the enemy's head, preferably when the front was scorched, he led people to rush to the most anxious place and helped Xia Cheng open up the situation, which is a scene that heroes like to fantasize.

But the battle of Yangguan didn't give him such a chance, he was a little puzzled from the beginning of killing horses and not killing, and when the decisive battle broke out, he thought that he would fight for a long time, but the chariot crashed instantly on the other side after an impact.

He had fought several battles with him, but he had never seen such a battlefield collapse in an instant, except when attacking the small tribes that were still living in caves with a large number of people.

When the steppe tribes attacked the city, Ehuang knew that they were not the kind of small tribes who lived in caves, their archery skills were not bad, and they were also very brave, but such a thousand people collapsed in a short instant, and from the time they had breakfast to the end of the battle, the sun had not yet reached the center of the sky.

Staring at the chariots that had shone in this battle, E-Lun suddenly understood why the land near Xia City was all oriented in one direction, and even if several tribes cultivated separately, the ditches were determined strictly according to the orientation and wheel base.

"I have to let my father know about this weapon, and I will ...... in the future If you really fight with Xia Cheng, you must change it, and you can't use the thin line array of two people in a row, otherwise it will be overwhelmed soon......"

"I also wanted to know what the lightning-like flames were that night, but I couldn't ask at all, these people didn't say."

While he was thinking about various questions, Jian Chen's chariot came to E's side, and the halberd-wielding chariot jumped out of the car and gave up his seat.

"E, get in the car and go to the battlefield with me."

"Ji Xia, can you lend me a few horses? I want to tell my father about this victory, he is still worried in the city, in case Xia Cheng can't support him so that he can send troops to rescue, his heart must be scorched by fire these days, my people are also sleeping with weapons, fortunately Ji Xia fought this battle very well, and my father can finally rest assured. ”

Jian Chen smiled, saying that it was true that he was anxious, but he didn't necessarily expect us to win. In a different place, if Echeng is besieged, he will also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, and the choice is probably the same as Eyue, sending troops to help when both sides of the battle are exhausted, after all, they belong to the same cultural circle, there is no hatred, only gratitude can facilitate the bloodless annexation, and any city is facing the problem of population scarcity in the basic area.

But he knew it, but he couldn't say that, because he smiled and said: "Since you are also on the battlefield, you have a share of this trophy, what can you borrow or not, accompany me to the battlefield to choose a few horses as your reward for going to the battlefield." When you return to Echeng, I will choose the tallest horse. ”

E Huang thanked him repeatedly, followed Chen Jian into the chariot, and Chen Jian's name echoed in her ears from time to time, which made E Huang feel inexplicable.

Those who counted well were clearing the battlefield and counting the number of kills, and a large number of prisoners of war were glazed over, their hands tied with ropes, and they were tied together in groups of three, with their hands tied on either side, and the legs of those in the middle, and they were given bones to dig pits on the battlefield to bury their bodies.

The people who went out to pursue came back one after another, and some of the five people in the squad captured ten prisoners, and they were not in the mood to resist, because those who resisted were killed, and the rest naturally did not resist.

At noon, Jian Chen selected twenty captured horses for Elu, and sent a few clansmen to follow Elu's envoy to Echeng to inform her of the victory, and also gave Eyue a red horse with a star-shaped white spot on her forehead.

In addition to going to Echeng, Chen Jian also sent several groups of people. Naturally, one group went to Xia City to inform the clansmen, and the rest went to the Acropolis and some tribes that had slave trades with Chen Jian. This battle is not just a matter of Xia City, but a major event within a radius of eight hundred miles, and victory or defeat will change the pattern along the grass river.

Three days later, Echeng.

Echeng is right, Echeng is indeed in a semi-mobilized state, everyone is waiting for news from Xia Cheng, the few horned deer riders have been wandering around the mall, and caravans are coming and going between the two cities every day.

From the siege of Yangguan on the second day of November, to the thirteenth of November, the riders of the grassland arrived near Xiacheng and destroyed more than a dozen acres of wheat, the news of Yangguan was cut off, and there were always scouts of the grassland tribes on the road of dozens of miles, but the messengers sent back all passed on a message.

"Summer City is in danger. The grassland tribes besieging Yangguan had 2,000 people, to say the least, or even more. ”

Not only did the messenger return like this, more and more messengers sent the news back to Echeng, and the calm number nine was also a little worried, and his eldest son was also in Yangguan.

Before the expedition, Ehuang and her younger brother were hostages in Xia Cheng at the same time, Ehuang asked her father for a longbow, and her younger brother asked her father for a fur, and Shujiu knew very well that his son had won, but he didn't expect that there would be so many enemies.

E Yue didn't expect that there would be more than 2,000 people on the other side, and even the news brought by several messengers was like this, and he finally determined that Yangguan was really surrounded this time.

He knew a lot about Xia Cheng, and there were 650 people on the expedition, at least four times as many enemies. As for whether the opposite side can fight, it is obvious, and to be able to organize two thousand people in this era is a great thing.

The most important son was besieged, and he was as worried as Shu Jiu, but in addition to his father, he was also the leader of Echeng, so he still had to worry about what would happen next.

Just two days before the Battle of Yangguan broke out, the city began to make final preparations for war, all agricultural activities were suspended, all slaves were guarded and imprisoned, and the adult men in the city carried weapons and prepared for battle, and the people were in fear.

But on the morning of that day, Shu Jiu found that Yu Qian'er's wine shop was open as usual, and the people who went there to change tofu were lined up as always, and even saw Yu Qian'er laughing with a child, so Shu Jiu went back and told E Yue that there was no need to be so nervous, because although Yu Qian'er was not in Xia Cheng, the news was better than anyone else.

A few days ago, when it was rumored that thousands of people were besieging the city, the tofu shop was stopped, but when the rumors became more and more tense, the wine shop was as usual, and Shujiu immediately guessed that I was afraid that Jian Chen had already sent the news.

Suspiciously, Eyue went to have breakfast, chatted with Yu Qian'er for a few words, and when he returned, he lifted the order from the city and waited anxiously for news.

On the day of the Winter Solstice Festival, when the sky was overcast and cold, and when the wind suddenly rose, more than a dozen horses outside the city walked into the city gate and divided into two columns, one column of messengers from Echeng to find Eyue, and one column of messengers from Xia City to find Yu Qian'er.

In the hollow-shaped hall, all the people from the power center of Echeng arrived, listening to the messenger relay the process of the battle of Yangguan.

E Yue was a little anxious, and she didn't have the patience to listen to the messenger's step-by-step explanation, so she asked the result directly.

"How many people are on the other side? How many died over there in Ji Xia? Is it a big win? Or a small win? Will those steppe tribes come back next year? How far is it from our side? ”

The messenger seemed to want to share the story as well, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's a big victory!" The steppe tribe has a total of two thousand, eight hundred people, and a maximum of four hundred will go back, next year? Ji Xia said that not only next year, but within five years, the grassland tribes will no longer dare to go south! ”

"Only four hundred back? Did you see it with your own eyes? ”

"Yes! I followed Ehuang to the battlefield, from the beginning of the siege to the end of the battle of Yangguan on November 20, more than 700 heads were cut, all of which were piled up by Ji Xia...... Uh, yes, it's piled up into Jingguan, so big a bunch of heads piled up into a hill, I counted next to each other, seven hundred and thirty-seven heads. ”

"So much?"

The people in the room were shocked, they had also fought, and they had also piled up heads, but more than 700 heads were cut off in one battle, which was really scary.

The messenger swore solemnly, "That's right, that's all. He didn't die much during the battle, and many of them were killed when they were defeated and pursued, because Ji Xia won and controlled the battlefield, he killed all the wounded on the other side, and he said that he had to eat food if he kept it, and he couldn't work. The people on the other side were completely frightened, and they dug their own pits to burn them, and none of them resisted. ”

E Yue nodded, kill the wounded, this is the rule on the battlefield of the times, it is useless to keep slaves who can't work.

Since the victory controls the battlefield, it is understandable to kill so many people, generally after a battle, one dead will have to be injured two or three, whoever controls the battlefield, whose wounded soldiers are the wounded soldiers who can live.

Shocked, Eyue asked a question he wanted to know the most.

"How many people died over there in Ji Xia?"

This is the question he wants to know the most, he has cut off so many heads of the other party, but he is afraid that Xia Cheng will also lose a lot, and he doesn't know if it has reached the point of breaking his muscles and bones. (To be continued.) )
