"Gaiwen the shepherd of the Son of Heaven, Yi Diye, his righteousness is not broken!"

Taming horses and clouds, taming cattle and clouds, which means that Zhongxia treats Siyi like cattle and horses are restrained by people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info So fetters are a determinatory term, but Zhao Wuxian uses it without any psychological barriers, and the Zhai people don't feel that there is anything wrong with listening to it.

Because the China of this era is the only classical civilization shining on the East Asian continent, Yidi has a king, not as good as Zhuxia......

When the Zhao regime developed to the frontier and incorporated the Rongdi lands such as Dai, Hejian, and Shangdi into its rule, the first thing they came into contact with was such a historical fact, that is, the politics, economy, and culture of the Rongdi barbarian region were very different from those of the Central Plains. If you ignore this difference and still rule with the internal system of the Zhao clan, I am afraid that within a few years, these places will be subject to rebellion, and the Zhao clan will fall into a long period of counterinsurgency.

Historically, such as Qin and Han, they all adopted the first vassal into a vassal state, a vassal country, and then slowly immigrated to the county, which is a kind of boiled frog in warm water, and the effect is not bad, Longyou, Shu, and New Qinzhong, these areas have been gradually assimilated.

So Zhao Wuxian learned from the experience of various dynasties he knew, and while setting up counties and counties between dynasties and rivers, he also mixed "Dao", with the goal of slowly organizing Rong Di into a household and gathering the people, and then turning it into Chinese.

As for the "Shangjun" he planned to set up in northern Shaanxi, the situation was even more special, it was far away from the administrative center of the Zhao clan, and could only communicate through a few large river crossings, and the Zhao clan did not want to send troops into the forcible conquest for the time being. As a result, under the upper county, the "Bondage County" set up according to the division of various tribes came into being.

Politically, appointing Bai Zhai to rule, economically maintaining the original mode of production, and being content with the collection of tribute, also required them to hand over part of the young and strong, form a vassal army and form a system, and guard the border for the Zhao clan, which is the essence of the "fetters system". The experience of the Tang Dynasty was copied, and when the conditions were ripe, the land flow was set up, and finally the difference between Shangjun and the interior disappeared.

In the face of this way of rule, the Zhai people suddenly felt more acceptable, and they all bowed down and obeyed, under the threat of the "Shaoliang Cannon" and the Zhao Iron Cavalry, no one wanted to be an enemy with them, how could their poor wooden gate city withstand such a terrible attack?

In the rumbling of the cannon, Zhao Wuxian made a bloody alliance with the Zhai people's rulers and envoys, and the Shangdi Zhai Department was loyal to the Zhao clan, so that the seventh county of the Zhao clan, "Shangjun", was born on paper. This is the area of Yan'an and Yulin later, with the Yellow River in the east and Shuotu in the north, which is a place of beauty. With this, Zhao Wuxian can expand the western boundary of the Zhao clan and look down on Qin and Wei directly from the north, which are the two rivals who fought fiercely on the snail horn in Hexi......

He said excitedly: "After having Shangjun, Hexi and Shaoliang are like playthings under the Zhao family, and the cavalry crosses the river from Shidu, and invades Hexi and Jingwei from Gaonu to the south, like a building down!" ”

The young man has a good vision and is a material that can be made, Zhao Wuxian said with a smile: "However, the trickle is endless, and it will become a river, which can be said to be defeated by the geographical advantage!" ”

After completing the main strategic purpose of this invasion of Qin, Zhao Wuxian looked back at Shaoliang again.

Under the bombardment of the cannon, I think it should be quite miserable in Shaoliang City now, you know, with the solidity of the "city defense armor in the world" of Xiangyang City in the Southern Song Dynasty, the army and civilians held on for five years, but just after the return cannon began to roar, they were also terrified under the suppression of this last straw, and those who surrendered over the city did not know how many...... I don't know how long the Qin people can hold out under such an epoch-making weapon?

……

Since he got Hexi four years ago, Zihu has been ordered to inspect and strengthen Shaoliang City, it is not as large as Yongdu, nor as indestructible as the fortress of the peach forest, but the thick rammed earth wall has its own contained power, and the towering city tower wing can see all the movements of foreign enemies, which makes the people in it feel safe.

As the saying goes, standing high in a strong city, one is worth ten, not to mention that he is fighting against the Zhao army of less than 20,000 with 2,000 Qin soldiers and 5,000 soldiers. Because Zhiguo has been emphasizing that the Zhao army is invincible in the field, and the Qin army did not get any benefits when the enemy forced the dragon gate, so Zihu followed Zhiguo's advice and retreated to Shaoliang, anyway, there was enough food in it for a year, so let Zhao Jun and himself slowly consume it.

However, less than a month later, he regretted this decision.

Bang! From dawn to dusk, there was a loud thunderous sound outside the city, which was the sound of mechanical stones, and the walls of Shaoliang trembled one after another as if they had been smashed by Kuafu with a huge hammer.

Considering the Zhao clan's attack on Chaoge and the kind of stone-throwing weapon in the battle of Wenshui, under the advice of the Zhi clan, Shaoliang City was originally fortified enough to defend against the general trebuchet attack, but what flew today was not a few catties or dozens of catties of small stones as they imagined, but hundreds of catties of big stones!

Eight of the ten cannons worked, and they fired stones in succession, and every now and then one would break down, but the rest would be picked up at once, and the craftsmen would quickly repair them, and after a day, they would be able to fire again at the head of the city.

The stone bullet hit the city wall, because it was a thick rammed earth wall, so except for a violent tremor, there was no situation where the entire wall was blasted open, but the worrisome cracks were expanding day by day, Zihu was worried that the eastern city wall would collapse in its entirety sooner or later, and he had no other choice but to strengthen it in the back.

The worst thing is the head of the city, the thin female wall has been swept away, the city tower is also full of holes, the soldiers on the wall have no cover, no one dares to come forward, after all, it is a big stone of more than 100 catties, people are stained with either death or cripplement, and there is an unlucky two or five hundred lord who was hit by a flying boulder, and became a puddle of flesh.

The inside of the city, near the walls, was also stricken, and if a stone fell, an entire thatched hut would collapse and the tiled houses would fall to pieces.

Outside the city, there were many dead and wounded soldiers, and in this case, the morale of the Qin army, which was originally quite high, suddenly plummeted.

The Qin people are superstitious, and in the face of this power that they cannot understand, many people are thinking nonsense.

"This can't be Chen Baoshen helping the Zhao family......"

Chen Bao, is a legend in the Qishan area, is a descendant derived from the Qin deity, the legend of this god or do not come once a year, or several times a year, often at night, his brilliance is like a meteor, the voice is like a rooster, and the incarnation is a huge meteorite.

Those flying stones that flew from outside the city and killed people and ruined houses, under the false rumors, were suddenly dyed with mysterious colors, and the morale of the Qin people who hated the same enemy was destroyed in this way, after all, no one could bear the rain of stones on their heads every day. The tactic of flooding the city is a suffocating and unpleasant slow death, but this kind of flying stone siege is simple and rude, which makes people feel powerless from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhi's army was even more unbearable, after Zhiyao's death, Zhi's was just surviving, and in the face of such a fierce offensive, the Zhi's soldiers didn't even have the courage to respond to Zihu's call to go out of the city to fight, so they could only shrink in the city and wait for death.

But at Zihu's insistence, the Qin people were still trying to resist, when the Zhao army's cannons stopped, and the soldiers tried to attack the city, the Qin people suddenly burst out, throwing piles of firewood and grass from the wall, and someone risked death to probe to fall a kind of tung oil-like thing, and then several torches were thrown down, and the firewood and grass suddenly raged, burning Zhao's rushing car......

However, as the female wall was completely flattened by the flying stones, the broken bricks hit the archers at the head of the city with heavy casualties, and the mobilized people had nowhere to hide, and the firepower of the city head was completely suppressed. Moreover, the Zhao clan does not only have a giant cannon, but also a special large cloud ladder, a civil engineering platform to suppress the head of the city, and a lever to deal with the defenders of the city, Lu Ban has the means to make the guards in the city uncomfortable.

To add insult to injury, on the third day after the siege began, the Qin people's city gate was hit by a stone, impartially. The copper-clad wooden door was bombarded continuously, and finally pierced like papier-mâché, and the left side of the door shook violently, making an unpleasant rattling sound, and a huge hole was punched in the door.

At the sound of the trumpet, the Zhao army launched a charge, and they smashed into the gap, and what they saw was the Shaoliang City in disarray after being bombarded by the cannons for three days: countless houses and corner towers collapsed, and the stones almost raised the streets of the city by one floor, and the Qin army and the Zhi army were disgraced and could only do a little powerless resistance.

Zihu took the remaining 1,000 men and retreated to the northwest corner of the city, he wanted to fight to the death, but learned that Zhiguo had killed himself in despair, and the rest of the Zhiguo had all surrendered......

The backbone of this remnant soldier was no longer able to stand up after losing Zhiyao, and now it was completely broken under the bombardment of the giant cannon......

Zihu was indignant, he tried to lead the army to break through from the West Gate, but was blocked by the Zhao cavalry who had been waiting there for a long time, and under the rain of arrows, he had to retreat back. He has now become a turtle in the urn, and what came was the persuasion of Zhao Jun to surrender, but one person came outside, Zihu killed one person, his defeat was already a certainty, and he was ready to fight to the death with the remnants to repay Jun's kindness, and in the street battle, Zhao Wushu could only be reduced to zero, fighting in the familiar lanes, the Qin people had an advantage, relying on their ruthlessness that was not afraid of death, at least they could pull thousands of people from the other side to die together, right?

If his elder brother Zi Pu is an old man who is serious and not shocked in case of trouble, and is the shield of the Qin State, then Zihu is a bloody Fang Gang, the crown has been shot down by arrows, and his hair is scattered, and he is like a wounded leopard, waiting for the enemy to come and exchange his life.

It wasn't until the third messenger came in tremblingly and conveyed what Zhao Wuxian had said in person.

"Death, what people are afraid of, but think about it carefully, death is not brave, and those who endure humiliation and immortality are brave, and you don't hear about Meng Mingshi, Western begging, and Bai Yibing?" (To be continued.) )
