226 The world rises and falls, and the people suffer

In the end, he still wanted to speak to the tall back of the Yao man martial artist in front of everyone in the Taiqi Ge Division, and his last words dispelled the undecided thought of Dun Mao. The old man, who was not knowing how many years old, saw at a glance the fatigue and sickness in his body, and suddenly became confident that he was younger than this old man, and there were only a handful of people at such an age on the grassland.

However, when he saw with his own eyes that the old Wu He dart chief dart head had killed a 100-member cavalry team of the Taiqige Division, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness that could not be reversed in his heart, he wanted to establish a permanent cause for the Taiqige Division, he wanted his name to be sung by the songs of the grassland from generation to generation, and what he wanted was not a grassland that could be satisfied.

But he didn't know if his weak body would be able to support the position of the Taiqige tribe on the grassland and complete his ambition to go south next time. He sat on horseback for a long time and couldn't even feel the presence of his legs, and the voice of the men and horses under his command was not as loud as in the past, and he was even too old to be humane....

Since they were born in this world, Tonmao Nest and Rad have never had a fearful heart, and under his leadership, the Taiqige tribe has smashed all obstacles in front of them, but the most heroic people in this world cannot escape the laws of birth, old age, sickness and death.

In that instant, an old man's desire to live almost overpowered the self-esteem of the lord of the Taiqige tribe.

"My lord, the soldiers and horses of those tribes have withdrawn. "Companion brought the horse to his side and whispered, "The lord of the Chi You Jin Department brought a message, saying that the siege equipment of the various departments was exhausted, and if he wanted to attack the city again, I was afraid that before the city was captured, all the soldiers and horses of the various departments would suffer heavy casualties, anyway, the gains of the southern tribes this time have far exceeded expectations..."

"Chi Youjin's little ambition of that old thing, that insignificant income can naturally satisfy his appetite. ”

"But the people of the tribe are all ...."

"I know you don't want to storm this city again. Suddenly looked around at the generals, and finally showed an undisguised tired look, "But someone has to do this, otherwise the people on the grassland can only live in tents to graze cattle and sheep after all, and there is no place to hide from the wind and snow during wintering..."

"The Yaoren martial artist in front said that someone would take his place when he was old, but when I get old, how long will it take for the steppe people to take them south again?" He clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it the iron-black heavy armor on his chest, and then he spurted out a mouthful of black-red viscous blood, and the generals around him were frightened and inexplicably wanted to go up to help, but they were stopped by suddenly raising their hands.

"It's just a mouthful of blood, and the samurai of the Taiqi Gebu have all their blood spilled under this city, and I don't see much regret from you. He wiped the scars from the corners of his mouth with his hand armor, and suddenly looked up at the Dayao soldiers at the head of the city who poked their heads out to look at him.

Remember in a second https://

"One day, the people of the Taiqige tribe will also stand on the top of the city and look down!"

"Look behind you! Don't say anything about standing at the head of the city and looking down!" Song Zhiwen, who was heavily dressed and armoured, said in a loud voice at the head of the city, "The lord of the Taiqige Division, Dunmao Chao and Ladd, look behind you!"

In the distance, smoke and dust billowed in, and the iron scale armor and spears of the cavalry shone in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the men and horses were draped, and the swords and spears hung on the sides, and the bows and crossbows were not beared.

This cavalry army once drove straight into the hinterland of the grassland to Shengchuan, and after making a huge circle behind the barbarians, it seized the perfect opportunity for the Taiqige division to be defeated under the city.

The first cavalry was heavily armoured, holding a lance, and the cavalry brigade behind him also hung spears on the side of the horse, and marched forward in a horizontal line, and actually surrounded and surrounded the city with 20,000 remaining Taiqige troops.

"Zhuang Dayao!" said Su Xiaogong, the commander of this cavalry army, with his mask piercing.

"Zhuangdayao!"

The shouts were like mountains and tsunamis swept through the heavens and the earth.

Then the Jinju Iron Cavalry collided with the Taiqige cavalry and rushed to kill.

On that day, all the tribes of the grassland knew that Dayao also had cavalry like tigers and wolves.

Regardless of how the slave warriors under the city tried their best to break through the siege, the cavalry of the Taiqige tribe broke through the rear array of Su Xiaogong's cavalry from a weak place, retreated north for hundreds of miles and camped, and coexisted in a camp with the coalition forces of the grassland tribes. The rest of the tribes, including the Chiyujin tribe, did not gain anything after two siege attempts to annex the northern county of Yuanseong, and returned to the grassland with the wealth obtained from the plundering of Jinju and the slaves of the Yao people.

More than ten county seats, three county towns, and the border fortress pass north of Jinju have all been broken.

After paying such a heavy price, the new Jinju general Song Zhiwen defended Dayao Jinju in the year of war in the sixth year of Emperor Dayao Lie, at least the land south of Jinju Prefecture and Yuancheng, but only Jinju itself lost the state army that was rebuilt in the Kaichun War and the cavalry army transferred by the Jinju general. In addition, the heads of more than ten noble generals of the Taiqige Department and the lords of the Salha Department were sent to the capital as proof of military merits.

So Emperor Dayao, Long Yan Dayue, gave the Jinzhou general Song Zhiwen a jade sword, a reward of thousands of gold to seal a thousand households, and the cavalry commander Su Xiaogong gave a jade bi and a reward of 500 gold to seal the viscount.

The good news of the Shangju Imperial Court did not mention the fact that the north of Jinju Prefecture was completely empty, and the lives of the people in the more than ten cities and nearby villages and towns were not qualified to occupy even a short space of more than ten words on the good news. Only in the document that Song Zhiwen reported to the Dayao Military Department frankly that Jinzhou could defend this battle, the cavalry led by Su Xiaogong was great, and the people of Jinzhou suffered greatly.

....

"Even if there are a thousand more people, I am sure that the lord of the Banner Division will remain under the city of Heyuan. ”

Su Xiaogong, who was covered in blood, took off his helmet and clamped it under his armpit, standing side by side with Song Zhiwen, looking at the north. And the north wall of the city is full of jubilant and joyful scenes, like a cavalry army descended from the sky from behind, and the barbarian head who fought so hard that he was killed and almost gave a dog's life here, if it wasn't for the bed crossbow being wound really a little slow, and finally a giant arrow shot by the elder Nashi was missed by a few barbarian warriors, otherwise how could he escape like this.

"What about after you stay?"

"Isn't it the dream of every general of Dayao to let the head of the lord of the Taiqige tribe have his own combat exploits?" Su Xiaogong asked rhetorically, "What's more, this person is not an ordinary barbarian, and letting him go back to the grassland is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountains, who knows if he will bring more people back after ten years." ”

Song Zhiwen still maintained the posture of looking into the distance and shook his head slightly, "What about later?"

"Jinju is bound to be ruined again! If such a strategy can be used once, how can it be effective the second time. Even if this cavalry army can go back and forth between the various cities of Jinju to supply and harass the rear of the barbarians, how can these thousands of sons and daughters be able to count 10,000 horses and horses of the barbarians?

And those cities north of Yuancheng may not be better than the current situation.

"If an ambitious monarch of the Taiqige tribe dies, there will be a second or third monarch on the grassland who is determined to go south, and let him go back alive, just like an old but powerful tiger, which can deter the rest of the tribes, and Jinzhou can have a few more years of peace. Song Zhi smiled as he spoke, not at all like he was still in danger when he was sitting in the city, "Do you know what my father said to me?

"I heard what the sergeant under the city said, if it weren't for the soldiers and darts led by my grandfather and a young swordsman from before to guard the front line of the city gate today, even if the cavalry entered from behind, there would still be a street battle in the city. ”

Jinju General Song Zhiwen's grandfather is the head of Jinzhou's first-class Jianghu sect and dart bureau, and at the same time, he is also an unfathomable martial artist, which is no secret news in Jinju officialdom. Since he took office, Song Zhiwen has walked around the army and the dart bureau a lot of times, coupled with the cool faces of the two, this relationship naturally can't hide the sharp eyes of these officials.

Originally, there was no plan to use the Wuhe Dart Bureau compound to build a city within a city in the garrison strategy of the Yuancheng City, but some of the officials of the Yuancheng City were determined to confirm the relationship between Song Zhiwen and Song Yanchao, the head of the dart, so that this item was put forward in the strategy, and then Song Zhiwen's reaction exposed this relationship at a glance in their eyes.

"Do you know why you didn't order anyone to guard the city gate? Just to see if the barbarian lord of the Taiqige tribe has any means other than using the secret passage under the city There is any means that I did not expect, but he can crisscross the grassland for decades, and in the end he only hopes to win with such a path, which inevitably makes people underestimate this grassland hero. Since he was old enough to be willing to use the strategy provided by a captive to attack the city, it would be a shame to be ashamed of what I had learned in half my life if I could no longer defend this city. ”

In Song Zhiwen's eyes, he was no longer the biggest threat to Jinju, and no one could reverse the law of life and death, since the lord of the Taiqi Ge Department was so afraid of the impact of life and death on his achievements, he was no longer afraid. There is always a time when heroes are old, and old often means mediocrity.

However, if the grassland tribe's desire to go south is not removed, the people of Dayao will not be idle for a day. When the land on the grassland could not support the people above, those who herded cattle and sheep would put down their horsewhips and pick up knives to set their eyes on Dayao, who was much richer than the grassland, which only pasted grass and cattle and sheep, and used the blood and flesh of the Yao people to quench their hunger and thirst.

From ancient times to the present, many emperors have intended to beg for peace with their coins, but the generosity of the emperors is a sign of cowardice in the eyes of the steppe people, and the rich silk gold and silver arouse their greedy hearts. Then the emperors were astonished to find that the begging goods they had given out had been cast into arrows and swords and placed on themselves.

In any case, it is the people who suffer.
