Chapter 66: Siege Wei to save Zhao
Luck can't always be bad, and now luck is finally on their side, and the tribe at the foot of the mountain is aggressive, and it took two days to migrate from other places. However, the destruction of the Lifa tribe also served as a wake-up call to other Turkic tribes, and Mi left behind 4,000 jīng soldiers in the tribe. When they heard the movement on the other side of the hill, the four thousand jīng soldiers quickly gathered. Not only that, but almost all the men in the camp who could draw their bows jumped on their horses. When Liu Ziqiu led the army to appear on the top of the small hill, tens of thousands of cavalry also poured out at the foot of the mountain.
The leader of the Tuoba and Xiangli tribes was to Li Duoyun, and finally found the enemy's camp, he even swept away the depression of Rìlai, pulled the reins, brandished the scimitar, and said loudly: "Lord Liu, please let Duoyun take the lead in this battle!" ”
"Brother Duoyun, just watch from behind!" Liu Ziqiu laughed, pointed his long knife at the bottom of the mountain, and said loudly, "Kill!" ”
Liu Ziqiu's ultimate goal must be to unify the Central Plains, but the West Sea is his place of foundation. If the foundation is unstable, it will be impossible to talk about reunifying the Central Plains. The other tribes of the West Sea have basically been subsumed into the Xihai tribe formed by Liu Ziqiu, and the loyalty of this tolerant new nation to Liu Ziqiu is unquestionable, and the biggest hidden danger at present is the Tuoba Department of the Party Item. Tuoba Mumi is bent on unifying all the departments, and Liu Ziqiu also promised to help him fulfill his wish, and maintain close ties between the two sides by marrying Tuoba Qianyu. But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and no one knows what the various departments of Tuoba Mu Mitong will do in the future. Therefore, Liu Ziqiu wanted to take precautions and show his strength to those tribes that had not been incorporated into the Xihai tribe, which was his real intention of recruiting the young and strong people of those tribes to join the Northern Expedition.
The hillside was very small, and the condescending advantage was not obvious, but Liu Ziqiu's Western Navy cavalry still adopted a preemptive tactic, and shè out of the iron arrow from two arrows away. The cavalry crossbow can only fire shè one round, but the advantage of shè is very obvious, which is enough to catch the opponent off guard.
The knights of the Dumi tribe fell from their horses one after another, but the rest did not flinch and still bravely rushed forward. The fate of Tong Lifa has taught them a profound lesson, and they have no way back. When they were a stone's throw away, the cavalry bows of both sides began to wield, arrows and arrows came and went, and from time to time someone fell off his horse. However, it was also a hit arrow, but there were few casualties on the side of the Western Navy, while the knights of the Dumi tribe fell in large numbers.
The two armies finally collided fiercely, the sword flashed, and the miserable howl was repeated, and in an instant, people turned on their backs, and corpses were all over the field. The sabers of the Western Navy were not only sharp, but also designed for cavalry combat, and combined with the superiority in numbers, the battle quickly took on a one-sided stance. The knights of the Dumi tribe couldn't support it, some people reined in their horses and fled, and some abandoned their weapons and surrendered, but the battle was over in the time of two pillars of incense.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Xiang Li Duoyun and the leaders of the other tribes were all shocked, they would never have imagined that in only half a year's effort, Liu Ziqiu would actually train such a strong cavalry. You must know that the Western Turks are much stronger than them in combat, while the Eastern Turks have won more than they lost in the conflict with the Western Turks. The leaders of some small tribes have already begun to think about whether to join the Xihai tribe formed by Liu Ziqiu.
At the foot of the mountain, a horn sounded "woo", and Liu Ziqiu led the cavalry to rush into the camp of the Dumi tribe, and was beckoning them to come down the mountain. The women and children in the camp were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, driven together by the soldiers. The seriously wounded and captured knights of the Dumi tribe were also encircled, numbering as many as four thousand.
Drinking hot Ma nǎi wine, nibbling on golden roasted whole sheep, and admiring the Hu Xuan dance performed by Turkic girls, Xiang Li Duoyun said with emotion: "Lord Liu, from now on you will be the master of this desert grassland. What Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, is simply not worth mentioning. ”
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "Brother Duoyun said that the Mobei grassland belongs to all the tribes on the grassland, just like Liu said at the beginning, Xihai County belongs to the people of all ethnic groups in Xihai. Liu has no intention of occupying the Mobei grassland, as long as the tribes on the grassland can coexist peacefully with the Central Plains, Liu will not embarrass them. ”
"I'm afraid they won't be able to understand the painstaking work of the lord." Jiao Liyan arched his hand and said, "Lord, let's kill all those captives according to the old rules!" ”
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "Killing prisoners is ominous, last time in the Lifa tribe, it was already a last resort, how can it be done again and again." These captives were imprisoned first, and they had no horses, no bows and arrows, and they could not lift any big langs. Tell them that as long as they stay honest and wait for us to leave, let them go! As for the wine, the lambs, and the maidens in the camp, everyone was in the mood to enjoy them. But there is one rule, no one is allowed to get drunk! ”
These men of the nomadic tribes of the West Sea are the same as the men on the Mobei grassland, they are bold and drunk, and if they are not restricted, they will definitely get drunk. When the time comes, if the captured knights of the Aggressive Tribe take the opportunity to resist, it will be laughable and generous.
As the night deepened, Liu Ziqiu was still holding a long knife and leading his own soldiers to patrol the camp. From time to time, the sound of women's panting and snapping could be heard from the tent passing by, and the warriors of the Xihai tribe were busy helping the Mi tribe in the work of transforming the human race. Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but shake his head, he originally hated this kind of behavior from the civilized world, but now he actually took the initiative to help his subordinates arrange such an opportunity, and he didn't know why he had fallen into this. However, he will not do anything that wants the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass, these soldiers follow him on the expedition, and they live with a rì with no tomorrow today, and if they are not allowed to indulge at the right time, the strings are too tight, and one day something will happen.
After a round of inspection, I didn't find anything unusual except for those ** sounds. The captives were all quietly huddled together, probably because Liu Ziqiu's promise to let them go had an effect, and the eyes they looked at Liu Ziqiu were very meek, and they couldn't see a trace of resentment and rebellion. Even if the enemy is riding on their woman, they don't seem to be able to resist the slightest **. In fact, the Turks did not value chastity, and after today, even if those women gave birth to children of unknown origin, most of them would raise them as if they were their own.
Back in the middle, which originally belonged to the big tent of Dumi, Mu Duoli greeted him and said, "Master, there will be no problem, hurry up and rest." ”
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Well, with Wen Hao guarding, nothing will happen." You rest with me. ”
Wen Hao is the most reasonable man Liu Ziqiu has ever seen since he came to this world, except for Fan Lihua, he does not pretend to other women, he can be regarded as a model husband, sometimes Liu Ziqiu even wonders if Wen Hao is from the afterlife. But that's okay, the task of guarding the camp every night can be entrusted to him with confidence, otherwise Liu Ziqiu really wouldn't dare to do that with Mu Duoli with confidence.
Who knows, Mu Duoli covered her mouth and smiled: "Master, the slave and maid will not accompany you today, and someone else will accompany you." ”
As she spoke, Mu Duoli slapped her face lightly, and a pretty woman stepped out from behind her. Mu Duoli smiled: "This is my good sister Gu Liya, she is the wife of Du Mi, and she is also your trophy, she will accompany the master tonight." ”
This is the rule of the steppe, and the most beautiful wife of the leader of the defeated side is owned by the commander of the victor. Of course, Liu Ziqiu would not abide by this rule, he frowned, and said, "It's enough to do ridiculous things once, you can accompany me tonight." ”
Mu Duoli was full of joy, but she said: "Master, Gu Liya heard about the master's might, and her heart was full of joy. Don't ...... sir."
The Turkic woman is really open, and the privacy between the bed brothers dares to talk nonsense. Liu Ziqiu couldn't help crying and laughing, interrupted Mu Duoli's words, and said, "If you don't send her away, then I'll go." ”
"Don't, sir, I'll just send her away." Mu Duoli shook her head helplessly at Gu Liya, "The master is angry, you still go out." ”
said it was out, but in fact it was still in this big tent. Because this tent is different from other tents, it is divided into many small rooms. Liu Ziqiu and Mu Duoli only occupied one of them, and the rest was still left to Mimi's wife and concubine. Gu Liya originally ran to a farther room, but in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but get up again and ran to the next room next to Mu Duoli, but when she got up the next day, she was languishing, and her head was worse than Mu Duoli.
Liu Ziqiu's army rested for three days in the Dumi tribe, replenished enough horses, dried meat, and salt, and continued to march into the depths of the desert. Liu Ziqiu did not break his promise, and when he left, he really released the captives and did not take a single woman with him. Of course, 30,000 people feasted and played in the camp for three days, and the cattle, sheep, and forage in the tribe also suffered heavy losses.
Gu Liya stood at the door of the big tent, glaring at the direction where Liu Ziqiu was going and gritting her teeth. For three days in a row, she eavesdropped on Mu Duoli's wall. Mu Duoli really didn't lie to her, Liu Ziqiu tossed endlessly, almost all night. However, on the second day, Liu Ziqiu was still alive and well, as if he had inexhaustible strength. Such a strong man ignored her existence, which made Gulya jealous and hateful, she stomped her foot fiercely, and ordered: "Come, go to Mayi and report to the Great Khan!" ”
In fact, this is exactly what Liu Ziqiu wants. His trick is called encircling Wei to save Zhao, if the news can't be transmitted to the "Wei army", how can he transfer them back to rescue the "Zhao State"?
