Chapter 191: Forced Surrender Has a Rear
"What's going on!" Houxiong, who faintly heard the roar, frowned and asked outside.
"Lang, don't worry about this, let's drink!" A beautiful woman with silky eyes lay on the back bear's chest, took a sip of wine in her mouth, and leaned over to the back bear.
But he didn't want Hou Xiong's face to change suddenly, pushed away the beauty in his arms, and scolded: "Get out!" If it spoils Lao Tzu's good deeds, I will let you survive and die! ”
The frightened beauty turned pale and didn't dare to say more.
It was at this moment that a panicked voice rang out, "Chief! Big things are wrong! The Han army, the Han army, is now coming towards us! ”
"Say! How could he Yang Zilu be like this! When Hou Xiong heard this, he was stunned and scolded with a sad face. Milk. Is there anyone like you? Shouldn't I attack and you defend? Why is it now anti-customer-oriented!
However, Hou Xiong was a chieftain in the end, so he quickly came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and calmed down: "Immediately order everyone to return to the city and defend it." At the same time, send people to the tribes to ask for help! ”
"Chief, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid we can't hold it, so we'll run away, no! Retreat! The voices of the cronies outside were as dead as if the whole family had died.
When Hou Xiong heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and asked angrily: "What are you talking about?" ”
The cronies wept and said, "Chief, you should go up to the city wall and see it yourself!" I'm afraid I don't know what I'm saying here! ”
Hou Xiong didn't care about anything else, hurriedly put his shoes on his feet, and galloped towards the city wall. The city wall is not far from Hou Xiong's home, and it did not make Hou Xiong wait for a long time. Hou Xiong quickly climbed the city wall, held the battlements in the wall, and stared into the distance. Not far away, the banners of the Han army were unfurled, and the spears were like a forest. Hou Xiong roughly estimated that there were almost 3,000 people in the army opposite! The most palpitating thing is the ten war elephants lined up, each head is one and a half zhang high, if you count the wooden box on the back of the war elephant, the war elephant is two feet high. And then the bear's earthen city is only two feet high!
Even Hou Xiong had the illusion that the four-zhang thick earthen wall would collapse under the impact of the war elephants on the opposite side.
"Chief! Oh no! The old man ran away with his own people! A soldier came to Houxiong's side panting and shouted in panic.
"What!" When Hou Xiong heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, Huo Ran turned around, and just happened to see the back of the old man who rushed out of the south gate.
"Surrender! Quick, send someone to surrender to the Han army on the opposite side! "Hou Xiong has completely lost his fighting spirit at this moment, and even the old man Che, an old and cunning guy, ran away without saying a word, I'm afraid that this battle will be more auspicious. In fact, at this moment, Houxiong also wanted to run away like the old man Che, but his tribe and wealth were in the city. fled in a hurry, and he was reluctant, but he just hoped that Yang Zilu on the opposite side would not be too greedy, eat meat, and leave him a little soup.
…………
Receiving the news that someone from the rear surrendered, Yang Zilu couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't imagine that there was a rear department that surrendered without a fight. According to Chonghu's news, although there are not as many strong men in the rear as there are in the Dong'an Ministry, they can live in peace around the Dong'an Ministry, and there are many troops, a thousand people. And with the protection of the city, it is not impossible to block their own army and wait for the support of other tribes. For this reason, Yang Zilu carefully sent Chonghu to lead the Dong'an Department of 500 troops to advance into the city.
There was also Chonghu who carried down the ambush, but it turned out that Yang Zilu really led the army into the rear, and the back bear knelt in front of him, and Yang Zilu was a little unconvinced. These tribes of the Sanyi tribe are too unbeaten, right?
After some inquiry, Yang Zilu got an answer that was a little laughable. It's not that the Sanyi tribe is too incompetent, but that the Shang Dynasty's army is too powerful. Speaking of which, everyone will wonder, why did this matter go to the Shang Dynasty more than 400 years ago?
The Sanyi tribe is a branch of the Dongyi, which was conquered during the Shang Dynasty. This person who conquered Dongyi is the king of the Emperor who has been infamous for 10,000 years in history. He relied on elephants that were still living in the Yellow River valley at that time. Relying on the war elephant, the king successfully conquered Dongyi. So the ancestors of Dongyi carved a lot of patterns of fighting war elephants, hoping that future generations would be vigilant.
After hundreds of years, most of these patterns have been lost, or they have been left on the stone walls of their homeland. Only a small part of the stone walls were taken away, and there happened to be a few stone walls in the back that recorded the battle at that time.
And some of the rear also tried to train war elephants, but unfortunately the war elephants were not trained, and the clansmen were killed and wounded more than a dozen people. And the young and vigorous Hou Xiong at that time also participated. However, as the son of the chieftain at that time, he received a lot of protection and was not seriously injured, but even so, Hou Xiong almost went to see his ancestors. It's probably the shadow, so Hou Xiong is unusually afraid of war elephants.
And there are other factors combined, otherwise don't expect ten war elephants to force down and have a rear.
But no matter what, the surrender of the rear also made Yang Zilu a lot easier, so Yang Zilu did not touch even a trace of property in the rear. It's just that half of the tribute sent by Houxiong is collected, leaving a team leader. As for all those who have a rear, they are all given the status of commoners of the Han Kingdom. Houxiong naturally reciprocated, not to mention that the betrayal of the rear made it impossible for every tribe of the Sanyi tribe to forgive the rear, which also led to the fact that the rear wanted to work and could not contribute to the situation completely unlikely.
Houxiong drew out seventy percent of the strong men in the rear, that is, 700 people to join the Han army, and the number of Han troops jumped from the original 2,800 to 3,300. And there are twenty military vehicles. Although Yang Zilu doesn't like military vehicles, there are not many people in the army who can ride horses, and every time the cavalry is formed, it is temporarily drawn from the army, and after a short period of running-in, it is sent to the battlefield to 'train' elite cavalry on the battlefield. But now there is not even this short-term run-in, Yang Zilu naturally can't rely entirely on the battlefield to come to training, so how many people have to die?
Because of the surrender of the rear, the nearby Sanyi tribes were caught off guard, and many of them felt a little timid towards the Han army. Yang Zilu took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, and at once connected three small tribes.
But after the cover of these three small tribes, the Sanyi tribe also reacted. This time, all the Sanyi tribes did their best, and it actually took ten days to form a long army, consisting of a total of four large tribes and twelve small and medium-sized tribes, with a total strength of 6,000 people, and they stopped in front of Yang Zilu.
