A total of hundreds of Yang family members will accompany the troops out of the fortress. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yang Qian Yang Feng and the like belong to high-ranking generals, as well as a large number of other middle-level officers. From this large-scale war, Yang Tianhong could see the temperament of the officers under his command, which was greatly conducive to the selection of generals in the future. Yang Feng likes to take the lead in battle, and he can be the vanguard of the charge; Yang Feng is cautious and relatively rigid in combat, almost killing the enemy according to the tactics of peacetime, which is a prudent way and suitable for serving as a general. The rest, there are Yang Guang, Yang Lie, Yang Feng and Yang Si and others. Among them, because they were born in the army of Chu, many generals have the same tactical style as Yang Qian, and they all use the method of frontal combat. However, these people have flexible brains and are usually deeply influenced by Yang Tianhong. In addition, they all took pills, and Xiuwei broke through the foundation building stage early. The understanding of the art of war is far beyond that of ordinary people.

The loopholes that can be exploited in the rules of heaven and earth are here. Yang Qi and the others were obviously already monks, but they could still kill people with swords on top of the battle array. This kind of killing, which obviously violates the rules of heaven and earth, will not be punished by thunder and fire from heaven in the slightest. Yang Tianhong has long known this, and has done experiments more than once. Before, he had never understood why this was, and he had not found the answer in any of the texts. However, everything has its own rules. Yang Tianhong estimated, is this because Yang Qian and the others first had a military position, and then they started to cultivate?

The profession of a soldier is to kill the enemy on the battlefield. The role of the official is to catch thieves and thieves. This is the same as a chef doing a dish and a doctor treating a disease. If it is flipped over and the doctor cooks, the food must taste difficult to swallow, and there is a smell of disinfectant in it. The chef sits in the emergency room and treats a patient, and maybe he pulls out a pig-killing knife and carries the patient into the operating room.

God knows what they're doing in there......

After all, there is no basis for speculation. But Yang Tianhong thought about it repeatedly. That's how it should be. Otherwise, there would be no logical explanation.

The number of killings by Yang Qi is not small. When he was still in the Qi training stage, he killed many bandits. Now that he had laid the foundation, the battle killed thousands of herders on the steppe. There were dozens of those who died at the hands of Yang Qian alone.

If it is really according to the rules of heaven and earth, such a tragic killing. I'm afraid that heaven and earth have long been intolerable, and a thunderbolt came down and smashed Yang Qian to ashes on the spot. However, he's still alive and kicking around now, and there's no.

It can only be said that the rules of Nima Heaven and Earth are really mysterious. Just like a woman, she will not die if she bleeds for seven days in a row on a special day.

He also sent a hundred cavalry to drive cattle and sheep back to Lizhou.

It was also the same way to pile up everything in the herdsman's camp and then light a fire. The flames are blazing. You can see it from a long distance.

It's also a live mouth that won't let go. Yang Qian is even more cruel in this regard. He even sharpened dozens of wooden poles to support tents, selected sturdy herdsmen, stripped them naked, inserted sharpened wood from their **** parts, and then erected the poles high, allowing these poor fellows to stick to the top of the wooden poles and wail in pain, but he led the army away.

I think about the beginning, when Rong Di rode his horse and killed the people of Chu State. The same technique was used. Moreover, it is much more cruel than that.

Grandpa said it. It's not revenge, it's debt collection. Back then, what Rong Di did to the people of Chu State, he had to take it back from them a thousand times. There is absolutely no reason in the world not to pay for benefits. I vomited out all the things I ate and gave them back to me. In the past, even if those Rong Di who killed people and set fires were old and dead, this account should also be counted on their descendants. There is nothing left, and all of them will be handed over to Lao Tzu.

......

Rong Di's army approached the border of Chu.

The Aries King first launched an attack on Youzhou. Donghuijing has been patiently waiting for news in Lizhou, and Rong Di will also use this method of beacon communication. Looking at the three thick clouds of smoke rising in the distance on the horizon in a relay manner, the Aries Prince Dong Huijing immediately led an army of 60,000 to leave the camp and rushed towards the nearest Lizhou capital city.

Youzhou has always been a place of war. The state of Chu was always vigilant against threats from the grasslands. For a while, the wolf smoke in the north direction of Chu State was still urging life. Hongling, who had a red flag behind him, hurriedly galloped across his horse, and every time he encountered a pass or a post station, he had to struggle, and roared in a hoarse voice: "The border pass is urgent! Rong Di invades, the border pass is urgent! The idle people are waiting to get out of the way!"

This is a red line of warning from the border gates.

Where Hongling hurriedly made the fast horse pass, the people of Chu who heard that Rong Di had invaded again stood for a moment, and suddenly exploded as if a few drops of water had been dripped into the oil pot, and it became a mess. Towns, villages, and pavilions, as long as there are people, bonfires are all lit, piles of bonfires are placed with grass, gray-white smoke rises to the sky, and the sky in the north of Chu is full of man-made smoke, and the order extends rapidly towards the southern interior. This ancient, effective and very fast alarm method has formed a system in the land of Chu. Just to see wolf smoke rising in the sky, anyone will understand that war and death have come. It's just that in the face of the crisis, everyone reacts differently. Under the smoke-filled sky, the people of Chu who had already known how to protect themselves gathered up and prepared to retreat. Correspondingly, the places where veterans who had retired from the army lived, along with the men in hardcover, were called.

Rong Di is just two simple words on paper. However, in the thinking of the common people of the Central Plains countries, these two words have another meaning, that is, "robbers".

From ancient times to the present, what human beings need is actually just a little humble living space. However, when it comes to national and racial wars, this kind of space requires a lot of lives to fight and a lot of blood to exchange.

Can you imagine the pain and anger of being burned down, your relatives being slaughtered, and everything that belongs to you being snatched away in an instant when you are busy with spring ploughing? Under the iron hooves of Rong Di, you don't even have time to escape before you are killed by the pursuers with a grin. What is even more painful, however, is that this is not just a one-time thing, but a repeat one. As long as Rong Di moves south, the same scene will be staged again, with thousands of miles of fields full of corpses and thousands of villages burning. In the village filled with the smell of scorched corpses, those ruins and broken walls are telling: The Rongdi barbarians owe the Chu people another blood debt that can never be repaid!

No, it's not just the Chu people. There are also Qi people and Zhao people...... So much so that all the civilians in the Central Plains countries who may be threatened by Rong Di's soldiers. In ancient times, these countries actually had a loud and identical name -- "Han".

However, this year's situation is a little different from previous years.

......

Lizhou.

Dong Hui Kyo is on a horse. Clutched a scimitar in his hand. The burly and sturdy body looks extremely fierce, but the face is full of hideousness and anxiety.

More than a month has passed since the division of troops came to the territory of Chu.

The situation is not as good as imagined. It should even be said to be very bad.

In the past, when Rong Di's army went south, as long as it reached the territory of Chu State, it meant that they could rob and kill at will. The food made by the Chu people Donghuijing is very fond of it, but unfortunately there is no rice and wheat on the grassland, so it is impossible to make delicious meals. Of course, cattle and sheep are good things, but no matter how good things are, they will feel tired every day. Donghuijing had planned it when he set out from the tribe. When I came to Chu this time, I must grab more rice and grain to go back, and I must catch a few Chu chefs who can cook.

There are so many good things for the Chu people! Their use of iron tools is too extravagant. The hoe used for farming is iron, the knife and axe used for chopping wood are iron, and even the pot used for cooking and stir-frying is a large piece of iron. I really don't know where the Chu people got so much iron? It is extremely difficult to get this kind of thing on the grassland. Tuyuhun Dadan Yu also offered a large reward, requiring the craftsmen of Rongdi to learn how to extract iron from ore. It's just that after so many years, the skills of Rongdi's craftsmen have not improved at all. At most, they melted down the iron tools that the southern countries had snatched back. Then they are made into hard metal arrowheads.

The bow and arrow were an indispensable weapon for Rong Di. It is said that the ancestors of Rongdi in ancient times used the teeth of wild beasts as clusters of arrows. For this statement. Donghuijing has always been skeptical. It is undeniable that the teeth of tigers, leopards and jackals are indeed extremely sharp and can also penetrate leather armor. However, the strength of this cluster of beast teeth and arrows is very average. Especially when it comes to armor made of stainless steel, it doesn't work at all. What's more, the number of fierce beasts on the grassland is not very large. The wolves are very dense, and large mammals such as tigers and leopards are almost nowhere to be seen. Maybe. They were all killed by Rong Di's ancestors and were about to become extinct. It also led to the fact that now the people of Rong Di can't even get the materials for the arrow clusters.

The most common material used to make clothes on the steppe is leather. Cowhide is hard and can only be used to make protective gear. The sheepskin is softer, but in the summer you can't wear a sheepskin robe at all. The coping method that Rong Di's ancestors came up with was nothing more than to make the sheepskin robe wider, easy to take off and easy to wear. The Rongdi herdsmen on the steppe are accustomed to tying their leather robes around their waists. Wear it in the morning when it's cold. Take it off at noon when the sun comes out and it's hot. Of course, according to the opinion of the people of Chu, that can't be taken off. At most, the upper body is ****, and the leather robe tied around the waist is tied with a belt. This way of dressing is usually only done by hooligans and ruffians in the Central Plains countries. If it sounds good, it is hot and cold, and if it is ugly, it doesn't even know the most basic way of dressing. It is no wonder that Rong Di is Rong Di, a barbarian! It is not surprising that this situation occurs.

Dong Hui Kyo likes cotton clothes, but also likes fine and smooth silk. He was not the only one, but all the nobles of Soyo Rongdi loved cotton and silk. In particular, the Rongdi herdsmen have a crazy preference for cotton cloth. Every time a southern caravan came, all the goods would be sold out in a short time. God knows how the Chu people managed to produce such exquisite goods. In the case of clothes, in the hottest summer, a cool cotton gown is cooler to wear. That kind of comfort sheepskin robe simply can't compare.

The merchants of the State of Chu brought a lot of things. The types of goods are constantly being updated. They brought cotton towels, which were so soft that they felt more comfortable on their hands than the finest wool. It's just that the price is expensive. A palm-sized cotton gauze towel would take at least twenty sheep to get. And there aren't many of them. Dong Huijing got a few pieces and came back to try them. He felt that when he was sweating profusely in the summer, there was nothing more comfortable than wiping his body with a cotton towel soaked in cool water. It's enough to make you forget everything.

By the way, and wine.

Qingling jade liquid is also a valuable commodity brought to the grassland by merchants. The brewing technology of the Chu people is really speechless. That kind of Qingling jade liquid tastes mellow, and it is full of strength in the mouth. The grassland in winter is enough to freeze people to death. At that time, when you drink a sip of soju-type Qingling jade liquid, your blood will feel boiling. Dong Huijing knew that many herders had the habit of stockpiling Qingling jade liquid for winter. It is only in recent years that this practice has become popular. Reputedly. In the coldest winter, as long as there is a mouthful of Qingling jade liquid, you can save your life and not freeze to death. It's just that the price of this good thing is too expensive. A small jar of soju can only be exchanged for at least fifty sheep.

As the son of the Aries King. The means of the businessman, Dong Hui Kyo, is actually very clear. Most of the Qingling jade liquid sold to ordinary herdsmen was mixed with water. A merchant who can convert one jar of wine into two jars is already a good person with a very good conscience. There are also even more black-hearted guys, who can even make one jar of wine into more than five jars. Speaking of which, it is also because this Qingling Jade Liquid is strong enough and strong enough. Otherwise, if you change to other liquors from the Chu State, you won't be able to drink this taste at all.

Merchants from the south came to the grasslands, all in carts. When they returned, the chariot was full of skins and silver and gold. and herds of cattle and sheep. No one thinks there's anything wrong with this exchange. No one thinks there is anything wrong with fifty sheep for one jar of wine. Anyway, cattle and sheep are multiplying at any time, and as long as there is a land with abundant water and grass, their number will increase year by year.

After all, an exchange is an exchange, where would it be refreshing to rush directly into someone else's house and rob it?

Again, the same question from before -- something is not quite right this year, and it should even be said that it is strange.

It's been more than a month in the south, and the Donghui Jing department hasn't grabbed a single thing that can be used.

Yes, that's the case. Villages and towns of Chu country passed along the way. Everywhere there is a ruin. All the houses were burned, except for the jet-black wood that showed that it had once been inhabited. And the act of burning down the house was made in the most recent time. Not a single grain was found, and the crops in the fields were cleaned. Nima, I don't know what method the people of Chu used, and there is not even a single grass growing in the land.

Of course, Dong Huijing would not understand that Yang Tianhong had a large number of monks from the Guiyuan Sect under his command. Under the strict order of his envoy, all the villages in the north of the capital city of Lizhou were relocated within a month. All the fields were destroyed by the monks with their mana. That's a way to change the climate and temperature on a small scale. It's the equivalent of making a miniature version of the sun over a farmland. Scorch the earth in the most violent way. It only takes three days at most for the field to become dry due to water loss. Coupled with the fact that there are hundreds of monks to control the rain, there will definitely not be a single star left on this scorched earth...... More than a month has passed, and when Rong Di's army goes south, the farmland that Donghuijing saw will naturally become like this.

Yes. A dry earth without the slightest bit of life.

Yang Tianhong's scorched earth policy was extremely ferocious, which directly led to unprecedented logistical difficulties encountered by Rong Di's army. In the territory of Chu, Donghuijing's cavalry could not find any forage, so they could only rely on the herdsmen who followed them for supplies. However, the more serious problem is that not a single drop of water can be found in this land. Even digging deep wells by manpower only yielded a small amount of muddy mud at most.

Dong Hui Jing didn't know if his father's side had encountered the same situation as his own. He really couldn't wait, just five days before the wolf smoke contact signal came from Youzhou, Donghuijing couldn't wait to give the order to attack.

Nima, if you wait any longer, I'm afraid that the whole army will be starved to death and die of thirst here.

Dong Huijing no longer thinks about what kind of Chu women with tender skin, enchanting figure, and beautiful and moving. Things have become very strange, and the cavalry under his command are fighting with each other every day over the lack of water and food. If it continues like this, I'm afraid that if I can't wait for the order from Youzhou, my side will collapse in advance.

......

Yang Han stood on the city wall of Lizhou with a blood-stained steel knife in his hand, looking at the Rong Di army swarming like locusts under his feet, and his rough face showed a hideous and cruel sneer.

The offensive and defensive battle of the capital city of Lizhou has been going on for four days. As the commander of the new army in Lizhou personally appointed by Yang Tianhong, Yang Han is indeed worthy of the word "fierce" in his name. In four days, Rong Di threw away as many as tens of thousands of corpses under the city of Lizhou. The towering walls still stand, like a steel line that can never be crossed.

The grandfather left 100,000 Lizhou recruits.

Yang Han was originally worried that these recruits might not last long. Compared with the battle-hardened Xuanhuo Army, the recruits in Lizhou are really uneasy. They had received only the most basic discipline training, and most of them had never been in battle or seen blood. However, the subsequent development of events made Yang Han feel that this kind of worry was very redundant -- behind the city wall was the capital city, and there were as many as one million ordinary people. Although the combat effectiveness of the recruits in Lizhou is average, they are all recruited from the locals. Lizhou has been attacked by Rong Di many times before, and has been killed by Rong Di barbarians several times. The bloody and painful memories have been passed down from generation to generation from the mouths of the old people in Lizhou. This kind of exhortation and pain have been firmly remembered in the hearts of Lizhou people. Even the most timid recruits will remember that behind them is their family, everything they have. (To be continued.) )
