Section 185 Let's go together!
wives, and children, and relatives of all kinds, and the high stewards of the city, and the heads of a thousand...... There is also the Withered Tooth, the commander of the City Guard.
Offstage, densely packed with people.
Civilian.
There were about 5,000 city guards on duty in the city, and during this time, the strength of the city was expanded, and the regular army increased to 8,000 men, and the reserve force was about 5,000. The makeover fake chefs used ergothorns to overturn more than 3,000 people, which was the absolute main force in the city guards, and as Tianhao led the main force to break the city, the remaining part was killed in a row, and the battle was completely resolved in less than an hour.
Qu Tooth and Changfeng led the soldiers to maintain order around the square, Xu Kun and Tianmad led two thousand warband members to stand in two rows, starting from the front of the square, holding daggers in their hands, touching people's heads, and issuing orders to the civilians of Crazy Tooth City kneeling on the ground in an indifferent and fierce voice: "Cut your palms and swear allegiance to the great Rock City Lord." ”
There must be people who don't want to.
The result was very simple, the Niu Clan warrior standing next to him directly picked up the long knife and split the entire head on the spot without thinking.
The Heavenly Maniac didn't even look at the headless dead who was still convulsing in a pool of blood, and walked straight to the next person, saying the same thing.
Pigs who are willing to shed their blood and swear are given preferential treatment. They were taken across the square to get enough food to eat.
Broken Tooth stood on the platform with a combat squad, from left to right, holding down the big people kneeling there in turn, killing them one by one.
Tianhao does not approve of the practice of stabbing the heart with a knife. He has always believed that killing people should be neat and neat, and only when the head falls to the ground can the living feel fear. Therefore, the execution squad led by Broken Tooth was well-equipped, and the long-handled combat knives and steel fires that were equipped with them were very good, and they cut off several heads one after another, and the sharp blades showed no signs of notching at all.
Sand Tooth saw his wife killed, and his son and daughter died at the hands of these brutal and crazy enemies.
Withered Tooth kept scolding, he suffered worse than the others, before he died, his tongue was cut off, Broken Tooth deliberately left him to last, until the heads of those kneeling on the ground were cut off, then he led the team back, pressed him to the ground like an animal, stepped on one foot, raised his sword high above his head, and slashed down.
Sand Tooth's face was full of tears.
He had been begging and weeping.
"Don't kill me, I'm the lord of the city, I'm a nobleman!"
"Whatever you want, I can give it. I am the eldest son of the King of Pigs, and my mother is the queen, and I beg you to let me go, and they will give you a ransom. ”
"I don't want to die, you can't do this......"
The ransom or something Tianhao is not interested in. He had already sent people to search the City Lord's Mansion and found a large amount of gold and silver, as well as various valuables. The benefits of this dispatch are not bad, after all, Shafang is the eldest son of the pig king, and there are a lot of materials piled up in the warehouses in the city, mainly animal skins and ores, although it is not valuable, it is also a harvest.
Tianhao slowly walked in front of Sha Tooth, looking down condescendingly, his eyes indifferent.
"You are the lord of the city, and you are also the eldest son of the king of pigs......" After a pause, he accentuated his tone: "So you must die." ”
"Why?" Sandtooth trembled in despair.
"Because there's only one thing in you that works for me." Tianhao was satisfied with the huge gains from the war, and was interested enough to spend some time here at Sand Tooth. He casually raised his hand and pointed at the forehead of Sha Fang: "The hatred between us can't disappear no matter what, not to mention that your family is dead, what's the point of your own life?" ”
"I need commoners, not nobles." Tianhao turned around and looked at the dense crowd of tens of thousands of people in the audience with emotion: "Your head is the best deterrent to them." At some point in the future, they may be dissatisfied and want to resist, but just think about today's scene, I dare to kill even the city lord...... Hehe...... What are they? ”
The tall Broken Tooth strode forward, pressed the shoulder of the sand tooth, and slashed it with indescribable ferocity and pleasure.
……
When Chibi wakes up, he finds himself lying in a large car with his hands tied behind his back and people all around. Mostly on foot, they followed the convoy north, looking very strange, somewhere between hope and numbness.
Walking on the right side of the frame with a long knife on his shoulder, he turned his head to look at him, and said casually: "How did you sleep this night, are you still comfortable?" ”
Red Nose struggled for a moment and found that he was tied tightly. A bad premonition sprouted in his body, and he swallowed hard, trying to keep his eyes wide and staring at the broken teeth while trying to remember what had happened in his mind...... After a long time, he let out a roar of astonishment and anger: "You are an enemy? Are you one of those mutinous pigs? ”
He had heard of some people defecting to the enemy, but he had never seen them before.
"Don't make it so ugly." Broken Tooth was not angry, "hehe" smiled: "I saved your life, you don't thank me well, but shout and say such things...... Tut-tut, I'm not allowed to say it again. ”
Red Nose was panicked by what he said, and instinctively wanted to jump up and run away, but he couldn't change his semi-fixed sitting position. He looked around with a frightened expression, and saw a dragon of black people stretching out for miles in front and behind, and saw vehicles being pulled by cattle, including many familiar and unfamiliar faces.
"Where are we going?" He unconsciously used the word "we".
"To Rock City." Broken Tooth's expression was leisurely: "That's our new home." ”
"What about Crazy Tooth City?" Although Red Nose looks vicious, he is very young, and he is instinctively a little panicked.
"Crazy Tooth City doesn't exist anymore." Broken Tooth replied calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the others." ”
There's no need to ask, it's just a self-struggle in the heart of the red nose. The fear grew stronger and stronger, and he felt that many things were moving away from him, so he simply leaned back on the car and looked at the clear blue sky above him, his eyes were foggy, and his thoughts drifted in the wind.
"Do you want me to untie you and come down for a walk?" Broken teeth send a kind reminder.
Red Nose slowly turned his head, and there was a hint of fierceness in the depths of his dull gaze: "You're not afraid that I will kill you?" ”
"Sandtooth is your king, and the lord of Crazy Fang." Gravel raised his stout right arm, shook it in front of his eyes ostentatiously, and replied, "I cut off his head and made a bowl out of his head, and we have a chance to make an appointment to drink together." ”
City Lord?
The king of the clan?
These things are too far away from the red nose.
He was not faithful enough to die for a dead man.
Broken Tooth was a cheerful man, and he unscrewed the wire that bound his wrist and lowered him from the car.
"Come with me, go to Rock City, and live a good life." Perhaps thinking that this sentence contained too much speculation that could easily lead to misunderstanding, Broken Tooth added: "I'm not lying, you look a lot like a friend I used to know, and I always thought of him as a younger brother." ”
Red Nose moved his arm that had been strangled out of the red mark of the Dao Dao, remained on guard, frowned and asked, "Where is he now?" ”
"Dead." Broken Tooth twisted the corners of his mouth, and the question touched some bad memories in his heart: "He went to war with the mercenaries, he was wounded, and the others divided him. ”
Red Nose sniffled vigorously, and his mood was a little depressed: "It's all about food." ”
"Come with us, Rock City is a good place." Broken Tooth invited again.
Red Nose did not answer.
But he didn't turn and run away, and he didn't stop.
After a while, he asked earnestly, "Why did you give me that piece of bread when I was in the city?" ”
This question was difficult to answer, and it took two minutes of thought before giving a cautious answer: "I see that you have not been able to eat enough, so I gave you an extra piece." After all...... You look like my brother. ”
Rednose nodded in satisfaction.
He will never know the real answer.
Broken Tooth could never have told him.
In fact, it was because you were too tall and strong, and I was worried that the amount of medicine in a piece of cake would not be enough to make you trouble, so I gave two pieces.
……
The old priest had stood on the tower of Rock City early in the morning, and saw the black crowd slowly squirming on the horizon in the distance, and the mood that had been uneasy for days finally became wild.
"We won! Our people are back! ”
The windy news quickly spread throughout the city, and people who had made all kinds of preparations in advance flocked to the entrance of the city, their eyes revealing surprise, looking at the huge procession that was getting closer and closer.
Lost and consumed, plus the population captured from other villages along the way, the total population of Rock City exceeded 100,000 after this battle!
The sprawling city became crowded again, with new buildings planned according to the drawings expanding along the perimeter of the city.
Tianhao did not delay for a second, and summoned all the high-level personnel in Rock City that night to urgently discuss the follow-up policy.
"Reassuring people's hearts is the top priority. It's still the old way, there are no 10,000 heads in the city, and there are only 1,000 heads below the city lord. The Pig Captives who came from Crazy Tooth City were scattered and reorganized, a squad of ten people, a squadron of one hundred people, and there were other calculations for each family, and our people were responsible for regular education. ”
It is not as easy as imagined for a group of barbarians to learn to live within the framework of rules.
Tianhao has prepared as many as 3,000 disciplinary officers for this purpose. To paraphrase the words of the civilized era, it is the "armed police".
The correctional officers have a lot of power, they patrol the city in a squad mode, no matter what form of violation, find and deal with them together, if someone is really strong enough not to even be afraid of killing the head, although you can try.
Tenderness must not be given to any captive, and it is necessary to make them understand what "obedience" means at the first time with a strong attitude. There is a probability of compromise in the human mind, and if a lower penalty is imposed for the first mistake, the subconscious mind will think that the level of punishment received for the same mistake is likely to be lower.
"Light punishment for the first offense, heavy punishment for the second offense" is the practice of the civilized era, but it does not apply to the current social framework of the northern barbarians.
It is useless to talk about human rights, Tianhao only needs them to obey.
……
Pig prisoners of war gathered in the square, marveling at the tall towers around them and admiring the sturdy masonry buildings. Unlike any of the Pig Clans, there are hardly any wooden buildings to be seen, and the flat ground is unusually hard. The northern barbarians have long known how to use plaster (primary concrete), but the pig tribe is an exception, even the destroyed Crazy Tooth City only uses the traditional method of tamping the ground with heavy objects, and it is basically the same as now, and the ground is paved with marl on a large scale.
In the order of the march from Tooth City to Rock City, the leaders of the ten began to lead the people. It is not mandatory to stipulate that every ten people are a team, basically based on the household as a unit, more than or less than ten people, the usual practice is to "make up one for every nine people" (single men and women who have not started a family), and wait until natural reproduction, the household adds new members, and then according to the specific situation to delete, to form a new ten-person establishment.
Semi-militarized management is effective in the current situation. There are too many enemies outside Rock City, and they may be attacked by foreign tribes at any time. A half-military, half-civilian approach can sustain a strong military force. Taking this military operation against the Wild Tooth as an example, it is really a civilian army.
Lack of living space has always been a big problem for Tianhao. He was also helpless about it...... The pace of expansion is too fast, and all kinds of unexpected events always disrupt the plan, but you can't stop the war just because there are not enough houses. Opportunities are fleeting, and all kinds of shortcomings can only be left to be made up for later.
Next, there was the issue of food, which was of primary concern to all prisoners of war.
They were lucky that Rock City had ample food reserves.
The imitation of the galleon of the Galen has not been successful. Although there are drawings, they can't draw gourds in the same way, and the fault line of civilization has led to defects in mathematics and engineering among the Niu craftsmen. Five sailboats were built in a row in the dockyard, and various problems arose during the launching of the sea trials, which caused them to roll over. Fortunately, it was sailing along the coast, and there were few casualties.
A lot of experience has been accumulated from accident to accident, and now the technical points of new ships being built on the dockyard platform are constantly being corrected. Tian Hao had never rushed Director Yuan Kai, he knew that it would take time, and he had enough patience to wait.
The ships built at the same time were flat-bottomed and could only be used offshore. At present, there are more than 60 boats of various types in the fishing grounds, and Tianhao dispatches capable personnel to sail out to sea to fish, and uses this most primitive method to train sailors.
The deliciousness of the fish soup and the saltiness of the salt constitute the happy life of the new people who have joined the city.
Holding an earthen bowl bigger than his head, he picked up a large piece of fish with chopsticks and ate it with his mouth.
He finally believed that Broken Tooth did not lie and deceive himself, this guy did have a younger brother who looked similar to himself, if it weren't for the longing for his dead relatives, Broken Tooth slaughtered himself with a knife when he was in Crazy Tooth City, and he wouldn't have been left to eat such delicious food until now.
In the impression of the pig people, oil and salt are so precious.
Fish is stewed in a makeshift cauldron, and a strong aroma fills the city. Every 100 people were a unit, gathered around the earthen stove, and watched as the Niu people in charge filled empty bowls one by one.
It is a genuine fish, and there is no adulteration to make it fake. There is a thick layer of oil floating on the surface of the thick soup, and you can't help but drool just by looking at it.
Several old people sitting next to Chibi kept crying, crying while eating.
