Chapter 35: The Reconquest of the Three Cities
"There are moles, there must be moles!"
In the great cavern, Samoko walked back and forth, shouting angrily.
Ever since Samoko divided himself and the warriors of several other large tribes into a small group, a small group sneaked around Yongchang, waiting for an opportunity to destroy, it was still somewhat useful at first. Although because it is a small group of people, they can't grab much of it. But if it can make Yang Xian anxious, it is still very interesting for Samoke to think about it.
But later, the Zhou army was like having eyes, and their warriors were captured once and again, and they were captured in waves.
Up to now, not counting the dead, there have been four or five hundred people who have been taken prisoner of the Zhou army.
The most important thing is that the people sent out are not only the warriors of his own family, but also the sons and soldiers of other large tribes.
"Samoko!"
There was a loud shout outside the cave, and then two men burst in.
One was two meters tall, dark-skinned, wearing a tiger-striped animal skin skirt and a necklace made of animal bones around his neck.
The other is strangely described, with tight skin like tree bark, called Dong Tuna.
These two men were the most powerful tribal leaders in the southwestern Tuyi, with the exception of Samoko.
"What did you tell us in the first place?" Ana-e's temper was not good, and as soon as he entered the cave, he yelled, "If you borrow our warriors to make trouble for the Zhou army, there will definitely be no problems." But now? More than a hundred warriors in my tribe have fallen into the hands of the Zhou army, and their lives are unknown. ”
"I suspect there is a mole in our tribe. Otherwise, Yang Xian is full of eyes, and it is impossible for us to send a force of soldiers and horses, and he will be able to catch a share, and it will be exactly the same! ”
These two are not ordinary tribal leaders, although Samoko is known as the king of Yi, but his status is equal to the two of them. Therefore, Samoko had to press down and explain to the two of them.
After listening to Samoko's words, the two looked at each other, and they both had to admit that Samoko's words made sense.
They had come to ask the teacher for their sins, but a sense of worry arose in their hearts. After all, they couldn't be sure which tribe Yang Xian had bribed them in, and how many?
"Have you asked the High Priest?"
Dong Tuna has been immersed in witchcraft for many years. Because of an operation accident, not only did his appearance become weird, but his voice was also gloomy and hoarse.
"The idea of sending troops to harass was the one who came up with the high priest. But since then, the High Priest has disappeared, and I can't find any trace of him? ”
The High Priest held a high position among the Yi chiefs, and his disappearance was a major blow to them.
"Block the news first! Don't let the leaders of other tribes know this news for the time being, or there will be a big mess. ”
Dong Tuna thought about it and said. Several of them were no more than partners with the high priest. The high priest provided them with all kinds of medicines, and they gathered all kinds of materials for the high priest.
But the leaders of some tribes were different, and they worshipped the high priest as if he were a god. If they knew that the high priest had disappeared, they would have panicked, and it was not impossible for them to collapse.
"Chief, chief!"
While the three of them were worried, a small soldier outside the cave hurriedly ran in.
"What's the matter!"
"Zhou Jun... The Zhou army has sent troops! ”
The lone kite in the sky.
Outside Ailao County, the army was quiet.
Yang Xian closed his eyes, held a white feather fan, sat on a four-wheeled vehicle, followed by the little boy, and surrounded by 10,000 Changce sergeants.
At this moment, Yang Xian was waiting.
Because in front of the army, there was a handful of soldiers he had captured shouting.
"Brothers in the city! The Prime Minister asked me to bring you a message. As long as you are willing to surrender, not only will I not kill you, but I will also distribute land to you. ”
"Brothers in the city! The Prime Minister asked me to bring you a message. As long as you are willing to surrender, not only will I not kill you, but I will also distribute land to you. ”
........
These words were shouted several times, but there was no movement in the city.
Yang Xian opened his eyes and waved his feather fan slightly.
"Yang An, where is Yang Gui!"
"Lord!"
The two clamped the horse's belly, drove the war horse and walked a few steps quickly, and came to Yang Xian.
"Yang An, you lead two thousand people to attack from the left, contain the enemy army, and be careful of the enemy rolling wood! Yang Gui, you lead 4,000 people to attack from the right, the defense is empty there, after taking the city wall, quickly occupy all key points in the city, cooperate with Yang An, and sweep away the remnants of the enemy. ”
"Yes, my lord!"
The trumpets sounded, and the army was divided.
Yang An and Yang Gui raised their spears, and each soldier followed behind the two of them. The queue is like a dragon, and the command is like an arm. Soon, the 6,000 soldiers in the front line were divided into two divisions, and the entire county town of Ailao was surrounded like flowing water.
The battle went very smoothly, and it was three o'clock in the morning when Yang Xian ordered the drumming to march into the army, and it was just noon when the entire county was occupied.
Yang Xian entered the county seat on a four-wheeled vehicle, and there were damaged buildings and blood-stained streets everywhere. In some places, the ashes are not extinguished, and there are still traces of sparks burning.
The air was stained with blood, and the roads were littered with bones. These soldiers have been looting for a living, and they will not produce. Occupying this city, he doesn't know how to maintain order, like a leech, and wants to suck the city's blood dry.
This was originally a county town with a population of more than 10,000, and there were no more people left. When Sergeant Changce placed the remaining citizens of the county in one place, these people were either old people who were about to run in the ground, or skinny orphans who had lost their parents in the battle.
Seeing the dress of Yang Xian and the Changce sergeants around him, knowing that they were Zhou Jun, he didn't feel tears in his eyes.
"Prime Minister spare his life! The prime minister spares his life! ”
Yang An escorted a richly dressed Tuyi to Yang Xian's face, and the Tuyi spoke a lame Zhou language, and immediately bowed up.
"I am the leader of the Xiangtu Department, and I am stationed in this county town on the orders of Samoko to defend against the Zhou army."
Before Yang Xian could say anything, this person was recruited.
"Samoko is smart enough to let the other tribes help him guard the door and hide behind himself."
Yang Xian smiled, and Yang An arched his hand and asked, "Lord, what to do with these captured soldiers?" ”
The feather fan waved, and a dark color floated in Yang Xian's eyes. Lupine scarf, in this gray and smoky place, has an extra layer of darkness.
"Kill!"
Yang An obeyed the order, his hand raised and fell, and the leader of the Nayi clan didn't feel anything, and his head had already fallen.
The old man covered the child's eyes and ears, and there were constant wails, and the bloody atmosphere in the city seemed to be a little heavier.
"Yang An, Yang Gui! And with each of you three thousand men, and with the heads of the people of the Yiren and this chieftain, whom had been captured, go and persuade the remaining two county towns to surrender. If they don't surrender, attack and kill them now! ”
"Yes, my lord!"
