Chapter 121: Stone City Traps the Enemy
When the tremors subsided, in the center of the stone city, in front of the sacrificial platform of the previous assembly hall, the leaders of the Huns, you look at me, I look at you, they all feel that their throats are dry, swallowing saliva, and they don't know what to say.
Their faces were pale, and there was still panic in their eyes, and they didn't dare to move.
Behind them, there was a huge mansion, and those who knew the Chinese seal characters immediately recognized that it was the three characters 'City Lord's Mansion'.
"Is this a gift from the Immortal Heaven?!"
I don't know how long later, a trembling voice sounded, waking everyone present.
In an instant, many people reacted.
Immediately, as if he had found the most reasonable reason, he chimed in: "Yes, it must be the gift of immortality!" β
The scene changed suddenly, and the situation of fear, despair and horror at the beginning immediately turned into a celebration of merit.
The leaders of the four major forces also made up for it, and their eyes showed surprise.
It seems that this sudden change must be the work of Immortal Heaven.
Otherwise, how to explain this qiΔ?!
With a sigh of relief, the Han clan Gu Du Hou spoke: "Everyone, today is really a good day, the Immortal Heaven has given me a city for the Han Clan, and my Han Clan will definitely believe in the Immortal Heaven in the future!" Come on, come on, follow me into this mansion, take a look around! β
"Wait,"
The king of the right valley of the Lan clan said: "Guduhou is not right, this city should be shared by our Huns, how can it be your Han clan?" β
"Not bad!"
The rest of them all bowed their heads one after another.
"That's not right." Han's Guduhou retorted: "This city appears in my Han clan's territory, it is my Han's city, this is the rule of the grassland, do you want to destroy it?" β
"Even so, if it weren't for the tribal assembly convened by the four of us, we wouldn't have moved the Immortal Heaven! So we have a share of this city! β
For a while, they were arguing for the belonging of this stone city.
While they were arguing, someone came to report it.
"Four leaders!"
It was Bai Luo who came to report.
"What? The patriarch of a small tribe of yours also wants a piece of the pie?! Immediately, the spearhead of the four of them pointed at Bai Luo, making Bai Luo disdainful at the same time, he couldn't cry or laugh.
"Bai Luo is self-aware, so naturally he doesn't dare to compare with the four leaders. What Bai Luo wants to say is that there is no exit from this city! Bai Luo said, still shocked in his heart.
He connected with a series of actions of the lord Li Zheng, and guessed about the reason why the things in front of him happened. Even so, he couldn't help but feel shocked and afraid.
"No exit?!"
The four leaders couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, but Han still took the lead and said, "What the hell is going on?!" β
"If you wait for the bones, the outer wall of this city is as high as 30 zhang, straight and smooth, and cannot be climbed. There were gates on all four walls, but they could not be opened. No matter how many people there are, they can't open the heavy gates! β
"How is this possible?!"
When the four of them heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, but soon they calmed down, and the king of the right valley of the Lan clan said: "Let's go and see first, how about it?!" β
The other three looked at each other and nodded.
The four of them turned on their horses, each led a group of cavalry, and under the guidance of the white wolf, galloped for a quarter of an hour before reaching the southern gate.
When he raised his eyes, he saw that under the huge city gate, hundreds of people were gathered together, shouting and shouting vigorously, pushing the city gate.
But the gates were not shaken!
The four of them grabbed the reins of their horses, looked at each other, and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. If you can't open the gates, this city will no longer be a gift, but a cage!
At that moment, Han's Bone Capital immediately asked people to find tools, called more people, and worked together.
But the result still did not change, and the city gates did not move.
"With weapons!"
Gritting his teeth, he asked people to come forward and slash with a knife. But with the flash of sparks, I saw that there were fine white marks left on the city gate, and there was no damage at all!
At this moment, the faces of the four people changed.
Hundreds of thousands of people are trapped in this stone city, and they can support it in a short time, but at most half a month, they will have nothing to eat. If you can't open the gates, you will be trapped in this city!
For a moment, all four of them thought of the consequences.
After that, the four chieftains gathered all the Huns to discuss a solution.
Swords and arrows, flooding and fire could not shake the city gates and walls. I wanted to climb over the city wall again, but the city wall was thirty feet high, straight and smooth, and there was no possibility of climbing at all!
There were even chiefs who were prepared to slaughter cattle or kill people, or to accumulate soil, to build slopes, and then to climb over the walls. But how difficult? In this city, the ground has become stone, can you dig up the earth, not to mention for the time being, how many livestock have to be slaughtered for the thirty-zhang high city wall to build a slope? Speaking of the city wall, you have to continue to build a slope outside! It's impossible to go up to the city wall and jump off, right?
At this moment, there was a shouting from the sky.
Countless Huns looked up, but saw nearly 100 huge figures, hovering over the city.
They could clearly see that this was a monster with the body of a tiger and huge wings! On the backs of these monsters, there are also faint human figures.
The next shout made them affirm what they saw.
"Listen to the Huns below, you have been trapped by the city built by the lord, obediently abandon your weapons and surrender, otherwise you will be trapped!"
"Is it the general who marched to the west?!"
Hearing the Chinese words coming from above, Han's Gu Du Hou reacted first, and then, his heart was shocked.
Could it be that this city was really done by that person?!
Incredible, impossible!
But then, I suddenly thought of the changes in the topography of the Baishui River, and I couldn't help but believe three points.
But no matter what, they could not surrender.
Joke, the heads of the four major forces are all again, hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered, how can they surrender without a fight!? Even the monsters in the sky can't make them succumb!
In order to avoid being attacked by the air, several people hurriedly hid in the building on the side.
In a few moments, an order was given.
Command the chiefs of the tribes to lead their men and horses, prepare to dig earth, and then build slopes.
But in just a moment, someone reciprocated.
The stony ground was too hard to be excavated like a city wall.
I had no choice but to slaughter the animals and build a slope with the carcasses of the animals.
Seeing this, the golden-winged tiger rider in the sky was prepared.
Li Zheng knew that the Huns would not be captured, although the city walls were tall, and the swords were difficult to hurt, and the thickness was abnormal, reaching ten zhang.
The only way for the Huns to get out of trouble was to build a slope and climb over the city wall.
So Li Zheng prepared oil and other things early. Once the Huns had reached a certain distance, they threw down the oil and fired rockets, igniting the slopes they had built and stopping them!
For the Huns, this is tantamount to destroying their last chance of life! They couldn't dig up the earth, so they built it with the carcasses of livestock, and when they touched the oil, the carcasses also burned, and finally burned out.
But they could not afford to do so, so they continued to build slopes out of the carcasses of their animals, and wanted to increase the means of fighting fires with water. However, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this area surrounded by Shicheng does not have a single water source left!
When the four leaders learned that there was no water source, they were almost completely desperate.
Hundreds of thousands of people are piled up, there is not enough food, cattle, sheep and horses, and they can replace it for a while. But without a water source, it's a disaster!
Cattle, sheep and horses want to drink water, and people also want to drink water, and now that there is no water source, it will collapse in two or three days at most!
Li Zhengtong GuΓ² Lan Xiangniao, looking at the panic of the hundreds of thousands of Huns in the newly built giant stone city, couldn't help grinning.
As long as they can stop them from building a slope, when these hundreds of thousands of Huns are faint from hunger and smoke from their thirsty throats, they will naturally surrender!
So, he temporarily shifted his gaze away from Stone City.
When the leaders and troops of most of the tribes of the Xiongnu on the right were concentrated in the territory of Bailuo, the white wolf and Nuluo set off from Baishuichuan with all the mountain wolf horses, Qingjia war horses and devastating front war horses, as well as 20,000 foot soldiers each.
Whether it was the Han clan, the Lan clan, the Su Bu clan, and the Tu tribes, for this plan, they took away the vast majority of the clan's strength. At this time, they were trapped in the stone city, and the clan was naturally empty and powerless.
It's the perfect time to stew it in one spoonful.
The cattle, sheep, women and children in their clan, and all the wealth of their clan must belong to Li Zheng. As for the old and weak, it is useless to kill them.
Li Zheng and Xi Zhicai sat upright on the head of the city in Dongying Pass, set up a table of banquets, ate and drank happily, and looked into the distance with a smile.
It won't be long before the white wolves will return from here with a lot of wealth and slaves!
Soon, the entire grassland to which the Xiongnu on the right belongs will be Li Zheng's territory!
Li Zheng was already able to imagine what kind of Cheng DΓΉ would be strengthened after obtaining so much wealth, slaves, and such a large territory!
Thinking about it, Li Zheng couldn't help laughing.
Xi Zhicai pursed his lips, his face was expressionless, but his eyes also showed joy.
"After the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu in that city surrendered, they were sent back to Baishuichuan, the elite were singled out, trained strictly, and then sent to the east and west lines." Li Zheng drank the ginseng malt wine and said leisurely: "It's a pity to hurt the heavens and the peace, so it's better to let them do their best for the great cause of Liangzhou." β
Xi Zhicai nodded yes and said, "The slaves and captives surrendered this time can reach at least one million." In addition to being able to select a part of the elite to fill the army, how are the remaining lords going to deal with it? β
"Do it according to the rules." Li Zheng said with a smile: "The Huns are all slaves, all of them are scattered, and the villages are reorganized to let them live with the Han people. Forcibly change their language, clothing and other living habits, eliminate their beliefs, and eventually make them Han Chinese. β
