Chapter 345: Southern Barbarian War (1)
Wang Shichong's eyes flashed green: "The five people I recommended this time are all fierce generals who have proven themselves on the battlefield, and they can help in the decisive battle after the lone army is deep, please bring them with you this time." ”
Shi Wansui nodded: "After all, there are sixty or seventy thousand people, when our army attacks his lair all the way, presumably he can also concentrate all the troops that can be mobilized to deal with the battle, and then it will be the victory or defeat of the first battle, your proposal, I approved, and when the decisive battle is held, you will be the vanguard of the front." ”
Wang Shichong solemnly gave a military salute: "Order!"
A month later, Queensland Zhisuowei County, here is just an inner underground county scale walled, not even a city wall, just a five or six hundred steps square village, outside dug a moat about half a zhang wide, there is not even water inside, just put some sharpened wooden stakes, around the fence of the stockade, there are about three zhang watchtowers standing about three zhang apart from a dozen steps, broken hair tattoos, full of body painted barbarians patrolling back and forth on it.
The village is full of that kind of stilted wooden houses, which is the characteristic of the barbarians who live in the forest, because there are a lot of snakes, ants and poisonous insects on the ground, so the primitive people in these forests live in this kind of stilted houses, because of the hot climate in Ningzhou, the barbarians here are more backward than those slang and Dong people who can go out of the mountains, half farming and half fishing and hunting, and they are completely dependent on collecting wild fruits and hunting.
In one of the largest stilt houses in Wei County, dozens of barbarian chiefs dressed in colorful clothes, covered with feathers and wrapped in various animal skins, gathered together, and everyone raised their voices and fought for red-faced.
In his forties. The face is painted with various charms and figures. Wears a shell blindfold made of gold. The burly one-eyed dragon, the Queensland Thorn History, the big chief of the Baiman Department of Ningzhou, looked at these chiefs arguing with an angry face, they have been arguing for two hours, and there is no result, these chiefs usually fight each other in order to grab territory and compete for gold mines, if it is not for the fact that the Sui army is pressing the border, they will not gather together to discuss the military aircraft at all.
She couldn't hold back any longer. yelled: "Noisy his grandmother is a bear, can you quarrel with the Sui Dynasty people back by arguing?" If you don't shut up, Lao Tzu slaughtered him first, then leveled his stockade, and then put the responsibility for this incident on him alone, and took his head to apologize to the Sui Dynasty. ”
As soon as these words came out, it really worked, and he had been the big leader of the Baiman region for many years, although he couldn't control the mutual attacks between these small tribes, but he still had prestige. Everyone kept their mouths shut and obediently did not speak.
She sighed. The expression on his face softened a little: "I received the military report from the front yesterday, the Sui army has been in Xiaobo for ten days, and the more than ten villages in front of us have all been broken all the way.
This morning's latest military report said that the Sui army has passed through Huangpiling, less than 80 miles away from here, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Wei County tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”
The first small man sitting on the left is the big ghost master of the white barbarian ghost tribe, a major feature here in Ningzhou is because the master of the ghost tribe has dominated this place for nearly four hundred years, almost all the tribes are the master of the family, but it has long been out of five suits, except for a surname, there is not much blood kinship, this big ghost tribe is the tribe of the priest here in Ningzhou, and the leader of the tribe is also the big ghost lord of Ningzhou, the annual ancestor worship ceremony of the family is presided over by him, and the strength is second only to the tribe of the white man.
Ji Jin cleared his throat and said: "Great Chief, when you first sent troops to start an incident, I persuaded you, the Sui people are not Nan Chen, nor Northern Zhou, they have enough military strength to come to us to repeatedly attack and suppress, you didn't listen at the time, no, from the time we started to the present, the Sui people have been here in three months, and the speed is faster than Zhuge Liang's march into Nanzhong, which has to be said to be the big chief, you are not thoughtful." ”
He waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, what's the use of talking about this now, if you think that handing me over will be able to put an end to this disaster, it's a dream."
Everyone thinks about it, how Wei Shichong's nephew Wei Boren bullied all the clans of our clan a few years ago, everyone here, which village has not been robbed for him, and which girl or even the chief's wife and daughter have not been ruined by the Sui people, when the army first started, they attacked and killed the Sui Dynasty officials here, but everyone has a share, and everyone has drunk the blood wine of these Sui people, if you betray the alliance, then the ancestors will not let you go after death. The chiefs in the room told me about their hearts, and some of them began to bow their heads and cry.
Jiao Jin licked his lips and said: "These are all clear, but they are all reversed, and it is impossible to turn back, everyone is here today, they all want to work together to avoid this disaster, in previous years, the people of our south and central rebelled against the army of the Central Plains, and the most relied on is the dangerous mountains and rivers here here, the miasma and poisonous gas, but this time the Sui people seem to have a way to deal with it, this way to march fast, completely unaffected by these, I have prayed to my ancestors every day for half a month, I want the ancestors to send disasters and epidemics to the Sui army, But it's useless. ”
A strong man in his thirties on the opposite side shouted: "Big Ghost Lord, since your witchcraft is no longer working, let's use the swords and arrows in our hands to speak, now the big chief is asking about the war, what is the use of what sacrifice you are talking about here." Big Chief, in my opinion, I can't escape anyway, gather everyone here, fight with the Sui people, I'm willing to play the striker!" It was the leader of the Nanping tribe, who had always been known for his bravery, who spoke, and as soon as these words came out, many young chiefs also shouted.
Ji Jin shook his head: "Young people now, it's really not like words, shouting and killing at every turn, you haven't seen the horror of the army from the Central Plains, those Sui troops, all wrapped in iron armor, their crossbows can shoot two hundred steps, bows and arrows can shoot a hundred steps, and the kind of war horses that are taller than our people, even the war horses are all covered in armor, and there are tiger skins hanging on them, those knights are all wearing demon masks, and the people who knocked them down are trampled into a pile of meat in a blink of an eye, and even the corpses can't be recognized!"
The words of the planing were like a basin of cold water on the head, pouring the hearts of the main battle factions who had just ignited a little fighting spirit to pull out the cold, and many people lowered their heads again, and even their faces were swollen and red, but they were speechless.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he said sharply: "Big ghost master, what do you mean, this is a discussion, you blew the enemy army into the sky, do you want everyone to surrender without a fight?" ”
Jian Jin waved his hand: "You can't surrender, you can only give the whole clan as slaves to the Sui people if you surrender, but you can't fight even more, and you can't fight all the old books here, and you don't even have the capital to fight guerrillas." ”
Fu Gui said unconvinced: "The vanguard of the Sui people is only about 10,000, we have an army of 80,000 here, and the big chief of the barbarian Fu Zhen is the brother of our big chief, and he will definitely send troops to help, it will arrive in two or three days, what can't be fought?" ”
Jian Jin shook his head and sighed: "The big chief has been looking for reinforcements from the barbarians for more than a month, and there is no news at all so far, although we have a lot of seventy or eighty thousand people, but we have never fought like the army in the Central Plains, everyone is a few hundred people all year round, and it is remarkable that there are thousands of people fighting in groups, how can you compete with the enemy's dignified array on this plain, when the time comes, the front can be connected to the battle is 10,000 against 10,000 or 20,000, and the people behind can't fight people at all, they can only stare dryly, and it is useless to have a large number of people." ”
His face sank like water, and he said in a deep voice: "Does the big ghost master mean that you can't fight?" Since you can't fight, what should I do? ”
A flash of light suddenly flashed in his cloudy eyes: "Everyone scattered to their respective departments overnight, returned to their respective mountains, escaped into the mountains and forests, and slowly dragged with the Sui army until they couldn't stay here anymore and withdrew."
