If you don't work hard at this time, when will you stay?

From the very beginning, the new army of Lizhou burst out with surprising bravery. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The soldiers sent to the city wall are simply not deadly. Defending the city was originally the strength of the Chu army, as long as it occupied the terrain advantage and had enough equipment to defend the city, no matter how much Rong Di could not attack.

What's more, the scouts have already found out the number of Rong Di outside the city, and it will not exceed 70,000 at most.

It sounds like a lot of people, but Rong Di is Rong Di, these dog mongrels who eat beef and mutton will not attack the city at all except for being brutal and ferocious. At most, that is, to make ladders.

In the past four days, the new army of Lizhou and Rong Di have fought dozens of times, relying on the strong and barbaric to forcibly attack the city, and Rong Di's side has a lot of lives to fill in the posture of the city. Now, under the walls, the corpses of both sides are thickly stacked. However, as long as you take a closer look, you can see that most of them were left by Rong Di.

This battle is not as difficult to fight as Yang Han imagined.

He stood at the head of the city, staring at the group of nomadic cavalry that was gathering outside the city, and a strange sneer slowly appeared on his face full of thick stubble.

Grandpa said that Rong Di's best advantage is riding and shooting. Now, the nomadic cavalry that is being assembled under the city is clearly like this. About 3,000 Rongdi cavalry gathered, they showed their bows and arrows behind their backs, shouted inexplicable trumpets, drove their horses forward, ran a certain distance, and then began to accelerate in full force. From the top of the city, it looks like a cavalry rush over to attack the city.

This has been the case several times in the past few days. After the large-scale assembly of the Rongdi cavalry, they accelerated in the direction of the city wall. When you reach the foot of the wall, you immediately shoot an arrow into the sky. A large number of feathered arrows were fired into the city, relying on the force of inertia to fall, causing a large number of casualties to the defenders.

This is the effect of massive mounted shooting. Similar to another world concentrating artillery fire on a certain area.

A recruit is a recruit. I was caught off guard by this situation and didn't know how to prepare for it. Over the next few days, thousands of people have been lost because of the Rongdi cavalry. However, as the Meng caravan entered the city with a large amount of Anzhou armament the afternoon before yesterday, the situation immediately improved.

Looking at the Rong Di cavalry who were constantly approaching the city wall, Yang Han raised his right hand. I snapped my fingers vigorously. This action was learned by him from Yang Tianhong. The grandfather is wise and brave. The generals of the Yang family all regard Yang Tianhong as an idol. It is natural that Yang Tianhong's every move on weekdays will become the target of imitation by the guards. Yang Han felt that the action of pinching his fingers was very chic, and he had practiced secretly for a long time. Now that he is the main general of the city, he uses it in front of his subordinates, and it is really full of charm.

The herald raised the red pennant in his hand in the air, turned around, and waved it down in the direction of the inside of the wall.

Suddenly. Behind the city wall, "Hula" stood up, and a large number of Chu soldiers who had already gathered there. They worked in pairs, kicked open the heavy steel crossbow with their feet, and as the officer gave the order, countless feathered arrows immediately flew into the sky, drawing a violent thick line like a tsunami in mid-air, crossing the city wall, and roaring down towards the Rongdi cavalry who had already rushed to the city.

Speaking of which, the way to deal with mounted archery is simple. Just look at the opportunity. Just unleash a massive rain of arrows at the Rongdi cavalry that launched the cavalry.

Heavy steel crossbows are weapons produced in Anju. This steel crossbow has an amazing lethality and an extremely long range. Because the crossbow machine is bulky. You have to use both feet to kick it off. As a result, the Heavy Steel Crossbow has a nearly zero hit rate in one-on-one situations, and can only have a covering effect when used by large-scale archers. Yang Han mobilized 5,000 new troops from Lizhou to wait here, just waiting for the Rongdi cavalry to take the initiative to come up and send them to death.

The dense rain of arrows falling from the sky caused the Rongdi cavalry to fall into chaos in an instant. A menacing expression disappeared from their faces, replaced by horror and fear. In the face of such overwhelming death, no one is immune. The person who rushed to the front instantly turned into a hedgehog. The cavalry behind couldn't stop at all, so they could only drive their horses directly into it without fear of death, and soon there were piles of corpses stacked high on the ground, and the horse's hooves trampled on the corpses splashed high blood springs, and the scene of people turning over on their backs happened in front of Yang Han's eyes. The cavalry charged. Arrows rained down, and corpses piled up higher and higher. In an instant, thousands of Rongdi cavalry had died cleanly.

"Hahahaha!" Yang Han burst into a hearty laugh.

Outside the city, Dong Hui Jing rode on his horse, his bloodshot eyes wide.

On the city wall, there are dead soldiers selected by Rong Di everywhere. The number outside the capital city of Lizhou has already been cut down, and the ladders made of them were all destroyed in the battle yesterday. Just over half an hour ago, a few Rongdi warriors who had given up their horses finally climbed the city wall. At that time, Donghui Jing originally thought that the general trend had been decided and this battle would be won. But he didn't expect that the first warrior who climbed the city wall was immediately stabbed to death with a spear by the Chu army soldiers who swarmed from all around. Nima, God knows how many Chu troops there are behind the city wall? Dong Huijing could see clearly below, and the Rong Di warriors who climbed the city wall were overwhelmed by the Chu army almost instantly.

It's horrible. Shouldn't the Chu people be cowardly waste? Nima, the last time he followed his father, the Aries King, to attack Tieyang City, how smoothly it was. As soon as the Rongdi warriors climbed to the top of the city, the Chu general immediately announced his surrender. In Tieyang City, Rong Di plundered nearly 50,000 people and countless gorgeous goods. Seeing that a single border city was so rich, the Rongdi warriors were completely red-eyed. Because of this, now Dongguijing doesn't care how many people die before they will capture the Lizhou capital city in front of them. For the warriors of Ruoyou Rongdi, this attack on the state of Chu is a rare opportunity. It is to hurry up and grab it when the big single Yu tribe does not come. After all, there are not many wars of this kind that are not subject to the constraints of the headquarters of large orders. If the Golden Tent is erected outside Lizhou City, then even if it is a great merit and a lot of harvest, it will be half of it honestly handed over.

Anyway, when a person dies, a woman can be born again, and this kind of opportunity to reap the benefits is not every year.

Looking at the city walls, which had been stained red with blood, Donghuijing was about to issue an order to continue to gather cavalry to launch cavalry shots on other sections. Even if the Chu people were prepared, it was impossible to have archers on standby behind all the city walls. Nima, if there are really so many Chu troops, this battle is still a fart?

That's when it happened. A Rongdi sentry who was running from the rear of the array on a fast horse rushed to Dong Hui Jing's side, and with an anxious look, he approached Dong Hui Jing and whispered a few words in his ear. Suddenly, Dong Huijing's eyes widened, his face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and ask, "Is this true?"

The cavalryman nodded again and again, "It's true!"

The bad news from the rear soon spread quickly in the Rong Di army.

"The steppe was attacked by the Chu people. ”

"The women and the old men of the tribe are dead. ”

"The Chu army took advantage of our troops. swept the steppe. Now, all the people in the tribe are dead. They were so ruthless that they didn't even leave cattle, sheep and horses behind. ”

In this case, it is simply impossible to continue the operation. Dong Huijing gave the order to withdraw his troops as quickly as possible. Then, with more than a dozen large and small tribal leaders gathered around him, his face was blue and he galloped towards the direction of the big tent.

The atmosphere in the big tent was very serious. The guards outside were also uneasy. The entire sky over the camp was filled with an unsettling air of anxiety.

Dong Huijing's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and sat on the main seat in the middle of the big tent with a hideous face. Stared viciously at a few tribal leaders who had just received the news and were shouting that they were going to withdraw their troops immediately. Although everyone is in the Aries tribe, a tribe is a tribe. Rong Di's social structure is like this, everyone respects the orders of Da Shan Yu, but in private they still pay attention to the interests of their own clans. The same is true of the Aries tribe, in addition to the relatives of the Aries King, there are dozens of tribes large and small under the jurisdiction below. Usually when everyone is fine, everyone gets together to drink, sing, and play with women. Shout a few words "Long live the Aries King". All this is for the sake of the Aries King's wisdom to lead everyone to rob and make a fortune. Now, the lair has been overrun. Then I can't care about robbing money anymore, and the first priority is to hurry back and count the losses and drive away all the Chu robbers.

In this case, there is no solidarity at all. These small clan leaders didn't leave with their own people on the spot, and they already gave Donghui Jing a lot of face.

Dong Hui Jing knew that the nest had been robbed, and his mood was also very chaotic. But he knew one more thing -- that it was useless to go back to the prairie now. The news came from the north. The clan was also attacked more than half a month ago. Even if you lead the troops back immediately now, you can't do anything at all. Come to think of it, the methods of the Chu people should be similar to their own. It's nothing more than robbery and murder. Now when I go back, there is nothing left but a pile of dry and smelly corpses. The tone is like this. It is better to take advantage of the rare opportunity of Da Danyu to recover the loss from the Lizhou of Chu State.

If the tribe is gone, it can be rebuilt, and if the woman is gone, it will be snatched back from other places. As long as there is abundant water and grass, cattle and sheep can multiply. As long as men work hard, more women can get pregnant and have offspring.

Of course, the premise of all this is to have enough living materials. If there is no money and food, no clothes, no tents, no food, what kind of bullshit reconstruction?

There is nothing on the steppe. Unless, you can grab enough food and ordnance here in Lizhou, and then you can annex other small tribes to strengthen yourself after returning to the grassland.

After all, Donghuijing is more knowledgeable than other clan leaders. Otherwise, the Aries King would not have handed over his 60,000-strong army to command.

"Instead of talking useless nonsense here, it's better to make more efforts to enter Lizhou. ”

Dong Hui Jing's eyes were bright red, and his thunderous voice roared over the big tent: "We should continue to kill, what's the use of you just going back to the grassland now? Some are a month, some are half a month, and some are even earlier. What can you do when you go back now? Do you collect the bodies of the dead? Or do you hug the burned tent and cry? Anyway, it's too late to go back now! Have they forgotten that the person who reported the news said that the other side of the army was?"

Speaking of this, Dong Huijing increased his volume, and burst out with a "buzzing" echo: "It's the Chu people! It's the army of the Chu people! They are very despicable, taking advantage of the opportunity for us to go south, take the opportunity to go north." We were blocked by the walls of Lizhou, but they were killing wantonly on the grassland. We must take revenge! We must take revenge! We must send more men to attack, and the Chu army in Lizhou only has its last breath left, and as long as everyone makes more efforts, they can rush in. When the time comes, you can have what you want, and you can take what you want. Women, money, food, ironware, and fine wine...... All of them. Have you all forgotten why we came to the state?"

In the huge cowhide felt tent, the eyes of the leaders of more than a dozen tribes flashed fiercely. When they sent out their troops, they recruited almost all the men who could fight, and each tribe was left with the old and weak and women, who had no ability to protect themselves in the event of an attack. Because of this, hearing the news from the rear, one by one could not sit still at all.

Dong Huijing continued to roar at these tribal leaders with different thoughts.

"You. You, and you. The men of your tribe are still there. Men will not disappear if they are still in the tribe! We should go in, rob all the women, food, and ordnance of the Chu people, and turn all the Chu people into our slaves. In doing so, you still have a chance to rebuild your tribe. Now that the pass of the Chu people has been broken by us, my father is making good progress on the side of Youzhou. But what about us? Just go beyond the wall in front of us, and there are beautiful women, tempting food, and sharp ordnance. Use your brains, do you want to go back and look at the ruins of the tribe, or do you want to go into Lizhou and rob the people and things to rebuild the tribe? Are you fools? What else is there to consider in this choice?"

Dong Hui Jing's eyes were red, and his hands were also clenched with a "crunch-crunch-" sound. It's all too normal for the steppes to annex each other. Anyway, they have been robbed. It is also impossible for the person who was killed to leave a name. Dong Hui Jing's idea now is to make up for the losses from the Chu State. There really isn't any other way to think about it. After all, even at the fastest pace, it would take at least sixteen days to withdraw from here to the steppe. It is too late to send troops to support, and it is simply unrealistic.

He looked at the chiefs and saw that they seemed to be hesitating, and their faces were full of uneasiness, knowing that some tribes would still insist on withdrawing their troops. Wait a moment. I saw that there were still a few tribal leaders who stood up and said they were leaving. The move had an immediate ripple effect, and others stood up and said they were leaving. Look at these with a look of trepidation. The anxious guy was so angry that Dong Huijing was on fire in his heart.

A man at the head stood up boldly, saluted towards Donghui Jing, and said seriously: "The matter is already very clear. We attacked the state of Chu this time in order to get food, women and property. We've come here. It's just that no one thought that the Chu people would be more difficult to deal with than in the past. There was no water outside the city, no food. Not even forage could be found. Even if we continue to fight, what will we eat? What will we drink? Will we drink horse blood like we did in a disaster year? Taking a step back, even if the Chu people did not launch an attack on the grassland, we would not be able to penetrate deep into the territory of Chu, and at most we would be able to capture Lizhou. Look at the battles of the past few days. Everyone was suffering heavy casualties. The Chu people cut down all the trees around them, and left no materials for us to make ladders. Also, the state of Chu is sending troops to support Lizhou and Youzhou. It won't be long before their army arrives. If you continue to enter, you will be surrounded by superior Chu troops surging from all directions. Staying here is a dead end. My tribe won't attack any more Lizhou, we're going home. ”

"Yes! If we continue to fight, there will be no good results. It's better to take advantage of the fact that there is still some food in stock and go back quickly. ”

"The women and the old men are on the prairie, and without them, there is really nothing. What's the point of snatching back more things?"

"If there are enough ladders and wood, this battle can be fought. The problem is that all the trees around us that can be cut down have been cut down, and we can't ride horses to attack the city. Looking at the situation today, the Chu people have already prepared, and the cavalry shooting has no effect on them, but we ourselves have suffered heavy casualties. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid everyone will die here. ”

When the first person stood up and spoke, several tribal leaders in succession meant the same thing. They decided that it was impossible to continue this kind of fighting, and that since the lair was threatened, it was better to retreat and rebuild the tribe. Of course, there are also some tribal leaders who still don't say anything, but looking at their constantly rolling eyes, they are obviously hesitating, not knowing how to choose, and are still waiting.

A furious anger appeared on Dong Hui Jing's face, Huo Di stood up, his eyes showed a fierce light, Sen Ran stared at the leaders of the tribes with the most objections, and asked coldly, "Which tribes are willing to stay and continue fighting?" Or, do you all want to leave?"

The majesty of the son of the Aries King also played a role. However, only four tribal leaders expressed their willingness to stay and continue the fighting, while the other tribal leaders remained silent. A few more people have already stood up. The situation within the Great Horde was already evident, with an absolute majority of those demanding withdrawal.

Dong Huijing held the handle of the knife firmly with his right hand. The amplitude of the movement was large, the space in the tent was not very spacious, and everyone clearly saw the ferocity on his face. The clan leader, who had stood up and spoken in opposition before, suddenly jumped in eyelids, and subconsciously grabbed his saber. At the same time, he also motioned to several familiar clan leaders with his eyes, and walked cautiously towards the exit of the big tent together.
