The Yue barbarians surrounded Yuan County with an army of millions, and this news was sent to Yang Tianhong's desk on the third day of the siege of Yuan County. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

To be honest, just as Yang Sui had learned before, the more troops were dispatched, the more satisfied Yang Tianhong was here. If there were more Yue people who drove over to besiege Yuan County, then every time there were more Yue barbarians, Yang Tianhong would be more satisfied.

Being able to pacify the southern part of Anzhou in one war is equivalent to getting a vast logistics base. Yang Tianhong really didn't want to waste time on the Yue people. Since it is to lure the enemy, then the best situation is that the Yue people take the initiative to send it to the door.

On the side of Yuan County, Yang Sui's troops had sufficient ordnance, grain and grass, and had a tall and heavy solid city wall as a backing, so it was really difficult for the Yue people who had no experience in siege to conquer Yuan County, which was garrisoned by tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

In fact, the Yue people really didn't have much experience in siege. Under the backward social system, there is no special craftsmanship, and under the strength of Ruan Chen Heihu, the first attack organized is actually a kind of temptation. The Yue warriors carried a wooden ladder tied with rattan ropes on the wall of the city and began to climb, but the rest of the means or siege equipment were not seen at all.

"I'm rubbing! Nima is forced, and he still comes to attack the city with such a little means?" A considerable number of defenders of the city looked disdainful after repelling the tempting Yue people.

As early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, in the ancient Central Plains era, siege equipment such as nest cars, ladders, and door hammers were already used to fight and siege cities. Now, when the Yue people attacked the city, they only used a simple ladder, how ignorant should this be?

Civilization has always been a leap into being, everything is based on the accumulation of time and the emergence of some great figures who lead the times, the emergence of the Yue civilization is not short, but it seems that there has never been a decent great person, so it has always been in the stage of barbarism.

Let a group of savage people who don't even know how to weave linen, but only wear animal skins or tied grass skirts, and let them study the technology that requires craftsmanship......? It is not to look down on the Yue barbarians, but to have a broad vision and a good wisdom mind.

The Yue people who came to test the death and injury were not too many, and the number of people who died on the spot would not exceed 2,000. There were only a few thousand people who were injured and fled, and they themselves were concentrated and forced to go up to attack the city.

"The last general asks for orders and leads the headquarters out of the city to rush and kill for a while!" As soon as the Yue people under the city retreated, an officer immediately saluted Yang Sui.

The Yue people retreated too undecently, they simply turned around and fled regardless of it, leaving no necessary manpower to prevent the defenders from possible pursuit, if they opened the city gate and went out to kill for a while, they would definitely be able to kill more Baiyue people, and it was even possible to drive the defeated soldiers to rush to the camp, and then let the Yue people have a camp roar or something.

Of course, attacking is not a problem, and after going out, you will definitely be able to win. The problem is that the reason why Yang Sui watched the Yue barbarians surround him was to attract the enemy army outside the city, not to say that he wanted to lift the siege. So isn't it a contradiction to go out of the city and defeat the Yue people and defeat them?

"Wait, wait. Now is not the time. Yang Sui could understand the feelings of these officers for meritorious service. It's just that everything must be based on the principle of the grandfather's plan to destroy the enemy.

When the officer was rejected, his face was a little scornful. He just said it as soon as his head was hot, and it was not that he didn't know that the goal of this operation was to attract the Yue barbarians.

Outside the city, the tentative men sent by the vanguard of the Yue people were defeated without even climbing the city wall, and Ruan Chen Heihu was so angry that he scolded the crowd that broke back.

The combat effectiveness shown by the Chu army defending the city was not too strong, and it seemed that only two waves of arrows were fired. Ruan Chen Heihu thought that the manpower he sent out was too useless, and if he was replaced by his own clansmen who were extremely brave, he would definitely be able to climb the city wall.

"Pass the order, gather people immediately, Lao Tzu has to climb the city wall today to meet those damn Chu people!" Ruan Chen Heihu scolded for a while, and gave a series of orders. However, Ruan Chen Heihu was not stupid, he also ordered to prepare more ladders to climb the city, and he could also learn from the Chu army on the other side and make some rattan woven shields, anyway, there are millions of people here, and it won't take too much time to prepare those things.

In short, Ruan Chen Heihu was still frightened by the Chu army defending the city and throwing away the stones and trees. Since it doesn't take much time to prepare those things, it's better to wait.

In this way, the Yue barbarians cut down trees and looked for rattans, and spent a day preparing a large number of wooden ladders, and more than 2,000 shields were braided. It's just that the wooden ladder is still the same, but there are more Teng Dun who can protect the top of the head when climbing, which seems to be a big improvement for the Yue people?

Yang Sui, who lived on the tower in the south, received a report that the Yue barbarians were going to attack the city again, just by opening the window, he could see the enemy army outside the city, and what he saw was a group of enemies who were colorful and carrying many wooden ladders, and it seemed that this group of enemy troops had one more thing than before, that is, shields.

The Yue people wear colorful clothes, which has a bloody reason. The clothes on their bodies were looted during the massacre, not to mention whether the clothes did not fit well, many women's clothes were worn on the bodies of Yue men.

Yang Lin, who didn't know when he came over, suddenly hit the wall with a punch and roared in a low voice: "These damn barbarians, they are wearing clothes that have been stripped from the people of our Chu State."

He had obviously seen the clothes of the enemy soldiers who were about to attack the city, and he could imagine how those bloodstained clothes were put on the Yue people. The Yue people did not have the ability to spin and weave cloth, and the Yue people entered the Kou every year before, just to rob the property from the people of Chu. Clothes are one of the most important.

Yang Sui was startled by Yang Lin's roar, and when he turned to look, Yang Lin's pale face was full of hideousness. Yang Lin was one of the first generals to follow Yang Tianhong to Anzhou, and he was also the one who liked to read the most among the generals of Yang Mansion. Yang Lin read through the Anzhou County Chronicles and was very familiar with what happened here.

Grandpa said that barbarians are barbarians, and these Yue people must not be treated as human beings. Grandpa also said that there is a strange place in the world, there is a country with strong force and annexed the area where the barbarians are located. But it is strange that the emperor of that country used a very tolerant, even flattering, attitude towards those barbarians who had gathered to become his own people after defeat. What to call them "minorities"? It is said that during the imperial examination, the barbarian literati could get extra points, and the common people in their own country could not even eat, but the barbarians could get a living allowance of up to hundreds of yuan per month. Moreover, even if the barbarians break the law, they only lightly reprimand a few casual words. But if it is a crime committed by his own people, it will be different.

Yang Sui didn't believe that there was such a stupid emperor in the world, and he categorically didn't believe that there was such a strange country. Yang Lin was very convinced. Because that's what the grandfather said, and the grandfather never lies.

The Yue barbarians outside the city beat the wooden drum...... , it was a kind of hollow wood with a tree body, the kind of drum that sounded a little brittle and a little strange, and a sound that sounded like a shout was also shouted.

"That should be the tribe of Ruan Chen Heihu, the most barbaric and the most brutal of all the Yue tribes. ”

Yang Lin's face showed an incomparably fierce hideousness, which looked really scary, and he continued in a hoarse voice like a demon crawling out of hell: "Only before they attack will they make such prayers. ”

Yang Sui suddenly realized! Hmm?! It turns out that the shouting that sounds a little like a tune is a prayer?

In fact, these things have been recorded in the Anzhou County Chronicle. The difference is that Yang Lin has seen it, but Yang Sui has no intention of understanding the living habits of the Yue barbarians at all. In his opinion, a barbarian is a barbarian, and a dead barbarian is the best barbarian.

In fact, the more wild the people, the more popular the religion, the more people each tribe has its own tribal god, usually a kind of fantasy mountain gods and ghosts or something, each tribe will also have its own totem. In the civil war of the Yue people's own tribes, even if a tribe is killed to the point that only one person remains, as long as the totem is not snatched over, then this tribe cannot be regarded as extinct. On the contrary, if a tribe does not suffer serious population losses in the war, but the tribe's totem is robbed, even if the tribe still has many strong men, if the totem cannot be snatched back, it will definitely be divided by many tribes who pounce like wolves because of the loss of their own tribe's totem.

Each Yue tribe has its own ritual of prayer, and the prayer ritual of the Yue people outside the city is not as simple as shouting and shouting, their shamans are chanting songs that may have been passed down for generations, and some of the divine servants are carrying some bound people back and forth in the procession. However, the shaman himself was not directly involved in the battle, and there were also dozens of monks from the Guiyuan Sect stationed in Yuanxian County. Their goal was to find these shamans from the Yue army and either kill them on the spot or capture them alive.

The things Hua Jun did in the northern grasslands had proved that the barbarian shaman was not useless. On the contrary, they are an extremely useful object. Especially when setting up a dark formation full of curses, a shaman full of psionic energy is the best foundation for the array.

"General, quick, hurry up and prepare the archers!"

Standing at the head of the city, Yang Lin, who saw half of it, suddenly changed his face wildly, and roared as if he had been stimulated by something. Yang Sui didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Yang Lin, who was in a weird mental state now, and he had to use a bow and arrow in a combat state. So, at once, an order was given to assemble the archers.

Because the Yue barbarians were about to attack the city again, the defenders were originally in a state of readiness, and after the order was issued, five hundred archers quickly went up to the city wall according to Yang Lin's requirements.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait until those Yue people and animals covered in oil paint will escort people to the front of the formation, and you will see if it is within range?" Yang Lin raised his right hand, and the place he pointed to was a small low slope, which should be about four hundred steps away from the city wall.

At this time, it would be strange if Yang Sui still couldn't see what was going on, Yang Lin asked to gather archers because he wanted to launch arrows. Next to him, the officer of the archer unit has a wealth of experience, his eyes looked at it, and he compared it in his heart, nodded and said: "General Qiyu, if you use the pouting crossbow, then the range is within reach, but it is not easy to control the quasi-head......"

Yang Lin's attitude was very resolute, and he didn't hesitate at all: "Then bring in more crossbowmen with pouting crossbows to come over and cover and shoot at that area!"

Yang Sui's lips moved. If I heard it correctly, the word Yang Lin just said was "covering". That means shooting indiscriminately.

The habit of attacking the Yue people, Yang Sui is still clear. Since many years ago, the Yue people have been constantly invading the borders of the Chu State. Since that time, there has never been an accurate statistic on how many people of Chu were captured by the Yue people. Moreover, the Yue people understand very well the psychology of the Chu people towards these captive people. In every siege battle, the Yue barbarians would push out some Chu people in front of the array, and use these people as meat shields.

Grandpa once had an order: In the battle, you should try to avoid these Chu people who were taken away by the Yue. However, there is not so much to care about in the case of a battle. This command can only be used in due time. The reason why Yang Lin asked to mobilize archers for covering shooting was that Yang Sui could more or less understand his thoughts. However, now it is the Yue people who are attacking the city, and the archers on their side have also undergone intensive training. It is not difficult to distinguish the people of Chu who are used as meat shields from the dense Yue people. As long as you aim some, you can avoid these captured people and shoot those Yue barbarian ghosts who kill a thousand knives.

Moreover, Yang Sui had been using archers to defend earlier, and did not use crossbowmen at all. He wanted to hide the crossbowman who had an absolute range advantage on his side. It doesn't matter if a few are brought in, but if a large number of crossbowmen come to cover so many formations, it is not certain whether the hidden secret weapon will be exposed. If you scare the Baiyue people, it will be more than worth the loss.

The pouting crossbow is a kind of strong crossbow invented by Yang Tianhong. The range is extremely long, and the power is extremely high. He hadn't thought of copying this kind of thing from another world, but the development speed of the musket was too slow, so he had to get the crossbow out first. Now, this weapon is stockpiled in Yuan County, and it is really the best weapon for defense.

Yang Sui was a little confused about Yang Lin's intentions. However, it is obvious that if he refuses, the short-tempered Yang Lin may make some unbelievable moves. Yang Sui frowned and looked at Yang Lin, who was full of anger, and asked, "Why don't you do this!" I will arrange a team of cavalry to go out and try to save people?"

Yang Sui felt that he should have accurately grasped Yang Lin's thoughts. As a soldier, no matter who sees his own people under the city being pushed away like meat shields by the Yue barbarians, he will be angry.

Unexpectedly. Yang Lin ignored Yang Sui's suggestion. He shook his head with grief on his face: "Life is better than death, it is already better to live than death." For those people who have been taken captive, death is also a kind of relief, a kind of relief!"

Yang Sui didn't quite understand, but he could also hear that Yang Lin was definitely not joking. Perhaps, Yang Lin had seen some things in the Anzhou County Chronicles that he didn't know? Now, it has become so serious that even if he is dead, it is more difficult to accept than alive?

Soon, the sound of the Yue barbarians banging on the hollow tree trunk outside the city stopped, and the Yue people who shouted loudly and chaotically also shut up, leaving only a kind of chanting back and forth in the mouth of the shaman, and those so-called divine servants who didn't know what to paint on them also began to push the people of Chu who were tied up with ropes forward.

As soon as this person came up, Yang Sui, who had good eyesight, saw it clearly. His eyes widened suddenly, and his pupils constricted in his sockets—and among those who were bound up, there were not half men at all, all of them women. The women, all of whom looked younger, many of them missing arms and legs, were brought up without struggling or crying, as if they were walking corpses. Especially those women who have no legs and feet, they are all carried forward by the Yue people. They are skinny and look very light, and the Yue people only need to clamp their waists with one hand, and they can carry the whole person sideways, which is also very easy.

"See, those women, their arms and legs were cut off and cooked, and they also suffered a lot on the side of the Yue people. Death is a relief for them. ”

Next to him, Yang Lin, who was clasping the city wall tightly with his hands and ten fingers, was already in tears.

The Anzhou County Chronicle clearly records that this scene that happened once and is now reproduced in Yuan County.

The Yue people like to eat people. The people of Chu who were taken captive, in addition to craftsmen, regardless of men, women, young and old, would become food in the mouths of the Yue. Among the Yue people, there is a very peculiar understanding. They feel that human hands and feet will grow again after they are cut off, like crops in a field. In this way, many of the captives had their hands and feet cut off and eaten as food. The men were the first to be killed, because they would consume too much food. Women can stay, and the Yue people also like Chu women with fine skin and tender meat. ravaged, ravaged almost every day, all the time. The women no longer have their own minds, and the eating of their hands and feet makes running away a fantasy. They don't know why they're alive, and they even forget that they're still alive. The tears have long since dried up, and even when they were ravaged by the Yue people, they forgot the physical pain.

Even if the Chu army won the victory over the Yue, what could it do?

Even if all the Yue people were killed, what would they do? )
