Chapter 0417: Zuo Xian King's Tears
In the middle of the night on the fifth day of coming to the city of Mayi, the big tent of King Zuoxian, where the porridge was located, finally fell completely quiet.
But Zuo Xian Wang was making porridge, but he didn't sleep.
Not only did he not fall asleep, but the King of Zhelan, the King of Aries, the King of Jinshan, and the King of Lou Fu, Jebe, and even the few vached and slave tribes of the little king, also appeared in the big tent of King Zuoxian.
In the center of the big tent, kneeling were a few Huns in shabby clothes, dusty, but with dead faces;
From the exaggerated closed loop hanging on the wings of the nose, it is not difficult to see that these people are all warriors of the Aries tribe······
"So, Wuzhou Sai, lost?"
The gloomy words sounded, causing the few people to raise their heads numbly, and look at the Aries King not far away;
But I saw the Hun nobleman with a felt hat on his head, a sheep's horn hanging on his waist, and a sheepskin jacket on his body, but at this moment he looked away with a weak heart, as if he was afraid of having a relationship with these people.
Seeing this, those people finally lowered their heads in despair and acquiesced to the problem of the porridge.
- Wuzhou Sai, lost······
"Aries King, don't you want to explain it to me?"
Another extremely cold inquiry, which finally provoked the Hun nobleman to stand up depressed, walked to the porridge, supported his chest with his hands, and knelt down on one knee;
"Tu Hao asked me to keep 10,000 horsemen in Wuzhou Sai, but I thought that I might need more warriors to attack Mayi, so I disobeyed Tu Hao's order and only left 2,000 people."
"-I really didn't expect that the Han people who fled in a hurry in the clouds would still be able to take care of the back road to outflank us······"
"I have nothing to defend;"
"If Tu Hao wants to be punished, I, as the king of the Aries Department, will definitely not be timid!"
"The descendants of the Aries God, swear allegiance to the plough and the slaughter!"
When he said this, he saw that the Aries King raised his head fearlessly, and looked at the porridge with relief in the face of death.
And in front of the Aries King, looking at the Aries King's posture of 'I am willing to apologize with death', the face of the porridge was immediately darkened.
Actually, let alone the Aries King;
Even the congee didn't expect that the Han people actually had the courage to outflank and block their retreat from Wuzhou!
Think about what it was like in the cloud a few days ago?
——The Hun cavalry had just opened the north gate of Yunzhong City, and before they could attack it, there were already Han people running away from the south gate!
In the process of occupying Cloud City, the Hun troops led by Yu Ji Congee were hindered by the ordinary people who had no way to escape and simply fought to the death!
The process of capturing Yunzhong was so smooth, which naturally made the Hun nobles, including the porridge, dumbfounded;
Similar to 'the Han people are vulnerable, Tu Hao may be able to hit Chang'an', and he can't remember how many times it has reached his ears in the past few days.
Surprised by the fragility of Cloudsdale, he was not complacent.
But inevitably, there was some contempt for the Han soldiers.
Therefore, when he led all the troops from Wuzhou to the south, he knew that the Aries King had disobeyed his orders and had three folds of the order to leave one of the 10,000 horsemen to guard Wuzhou, and he didn't see it;
Because at that time, the Han people who fled from the clouds in embarrassment were likely to not even be able to defend Mayi!
Not to mention that while guarding Ma Yi, he took a detour from the path of nowhere and recaptured Wuzhou Sai to cut off his own retreat······
"Maybe it's some unknown mountain trail?"
Thinking like this, the porridge couldn't help but shake his head, and then cast a grim gaze on the Aries King in front of him.
"I've heard that the Han people have such a saying;"
"—If no one follows the rules that are made, the rules become a joke."
"King Aries, let my order become a joke, and you should pay the price you deserve······"
As he spoke in a low tone, he saw the porridge turn sideways, pick up a sharp dagger from behind him, and slowly bring the tip of the dagger closer to the right eye of the Aries King;
Just as the dagger was about to plunge into the beige eyes that were round but never showed fear, the dagger slashed down slightly.
A moment later, a slender crack that stretched from under the eye to the corner of the mouth appeared on the face of the Aries King;
But he took back his dagger with a serious face, and looked at the people in the tent with a stern expression.
"The Aries Department is the weapon of my Great Huns to rule the grassland!"
"With the loss of two thousand Aries warriors, even I can't hold back my tears."
"But I'm the left Tu Lu of the Great Huns!"
"—It's the heir who was personally appointed by the plough Gutu!"
"And you are all the longbows and blades of the Great Huns who rule the grasslands and suppress the nomads!
”
With a few low roars of great seriousness, the porridge lowered his head again and looked at the Aries King in front of him, who had lowered his head in shame.
"Remember this scar;"
"This is the Zuo Tu luxury of the Great Huns, the tears engraved on your face with your own hands."
"This tear mark means that 2,000 Aries warriors have been permanently buried in the territory of the Han people because of your mistakes."
"If you fail this tearstain, God Aries will not forgive you;"
"I won't forgive you;"
"I won't forgive you for being alone, and I won't forgive you······"
The low and gentle tone made the Aries King bow his head in shame, ignoring the bloody cheeks, and only slowly leaned down and kissed the toes of the porridge;
It seems that only in this way can the Aries King dispel the shame in his heart and show his loyalty unreservedly in front of the porridge······
"Tu Lu!"
Before the Aries King got up, he suddenly remembered the exclamation of the man with the arm in the tent!
But at this moment, he took the dagger in his hand and slowly drew two 'tear stains' on both sides of his cheeks.
After the blood stained most of his face, he raised his head and looked at the heads of the accounts.
"It is my order to come to Mayi."
"Although Wuzhou Sai was recaptured by the Han because of the fault of Aries, the order to attack Mayi was given by me."
"Now, I need you to let go of the past, those wool-like subtle contradictions and grudges, and break out of the encirclement of the Han people with me."
"—the Great Huns, you can lose me;"
"But you can't lose the three parts of Aries, Zhelan, and Lou Fu!"
"The plough is lonely, and it can't be without these three carriages that rule the grassland······"
The low and decisive voice of the voice finally moved everyone in the hall, and they each picked up a dagger and slashed it across their faces;
The entire royal tent was occupied by the terrifying faces of blood flowing, and the few people kneeling in the center of the royal tent were finally cut by the bone knife in the hands of the shaman······
- In the south of the Great Wall, whether it is the common people or the center of the court, as long as it is a sacrifice and a prayer, it mostly means praying for peace and well-being;
Even the rituals before the army leaves the army will also have a full meaning of 'doing it as a last resort'.
But in the steppe, especially under the rule of the Huns, the sacrifice of living people will always symbolize only one thing.
- War.
A war that must be won without dying, fighting to shed the last drop of blood······
·
"I don't know how King Zuo Xian feels at this moment;"
Standing at the head of the city of Mayi as usual, looking outside the city, the knights of the Hun headquarters who were supervising the siege of the slave cannon fodder, Jin Shuran's face couldn't help but feel a touch of embarrassment.
——The news that Wuzhou Sai has returned to the control of the Han army has spread all over the area within a radius of hundreds of miles from Mayi!
The Huns outside the city had clearly learned that the retreat was at an end, but they still did not stop attacking.
Even in the daily battle, slaves are sent to death as cannon fodder;
Even for every dead slave, it would only cost the Han army three or five arrows lost;
Even such a meaningless attack could not pose any threat to Ma Yi at all, and the Huns were still in urgent need of an attack.
As for the cavalry of the headquarters that were not slaves and attached to the tribes, such as the soldiers of the White Sheep and Zhelan tribes, they never entered the range of 200 paces from Mayi from that day on.
It was as if they did not exist to fight, but only to stand behind the slaves and cannon fodder, and to force these poor slaves to die under the city of Mayi.
Looking at the slaves who fell down one after another under the city wall, but still looked numb and returned to the city wall, Jin She's face couldn't help but flash a trace of unbearability;
It's just that this touch of unbearability has nothing to do with the White Lotus of the Virgin in later generations······
"What a good hard labor······"
"If you can bring these slaves back to Guanzhong, I am afraid that it will only take three or five years, and there will be one more Zhengguo Canal······"
With such a sigh on his face as usual, Jin She did not forget to raise his head, waved his hand to the officers in the distance, signaled the bow and crossbow to stop firing, and handed over the slaves and cannon fodder to the sword and shield on the wall to harvest.
——The slaves of the Huns are not distressed, and Jin Shezi is also not distressed.
Especially the battles in the past few days, Jin She had the idea of 'killing such cannon fodder, it is not worth shooting a three-edged arrow'.
This kind of cognition may be somewhat exaggerated;
But Jin She's ability to have such a perception is really due to the almost unmatched siege strength of the Huns in the past few days······
"Xiongnu Northern Barbarian~"
"What do you want?"
Slightly confused, he let out a self-mutter, and saw Jin Shu couldn't help but turn sideways slightly, looking at Captain Quan Xu of Yulin on the side.
"Hu knew the loss of Wuzhou, and he should have made a mess, or fled all night;"
"Now I have been stuck in Mayi for a long time, I can't get in love, and I drive slaves to attack the city every day, and I am martial arts for nothing?"
"-This wants to make a certain enemy lightly, and then break the horse?"
"Or maybe the Beiban himself has no way to escape, so he has such a strange act?"
Hearing Jin She's question, Quan Xu on the side also frowned suspiciously.
The day before yesterday, after the Huns drove out more than 4,000 slaves, but failed to storm a section of the city wall guarded by only a few hundred Han soldiers, Captain Yulin under Quan Xu already felt that he was out of battle.
Because of such a battle, there is no need for Captain Yulin to intervene at all!
In the words of later generations, which often appeared in basketball games, it is this war that has entered the 'garbage time' of the mother······
"What do you want, you don't know."
"But the last will think that if Hu comes, he will be prepared; If you come to Mayi, you will want to take Mayi. ”
"And now, knowing the loss of Wuzhou, Hu only fought and took two strategies;"
"However, in the past few days, Hu Zhan was powerless, and he had no intention of retreating······"
"The last general, I really don't know what to think about·········"
Seeing that Quan Xu was talking and talking, and also put on a posture of 'I don't understand', Jin She couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and once again set his eyes on the outside of the city, shouting weakly, the Hun cannon fodder coming back towards Mayi.
"Today, it's the fourth batch, right?"
"Tut-tut······"
"Thousands of slaves were forced to do their best, and they all died under the city;
"Chief Di's porridge, is he so generous?"
A slightly joking joke, but it made Quan Xu laugh, and he also spread his indifferent gaze to the battlefield outside the city.
Several days of fighting had almost completely stained the land;
But those Hun cannon fodder who died outside the city wall have so far no one to collect the corpses.
However, the three-edged arrows shot by the guards in the city were lucky to survive and pulled out by the slaves who retreated the same way, so that the soldiers of the Han army in the city were not distressed.
- An arrow with a three-edged arrow, but there are several taels of iron!
Even if you don't consider the value of these irons, when you think of the future, these arrows that were shot out by yourself may be missed by the Huns, and the soldiers of the defenders in the city have only an indescribable awkwardness in their hearts.
As for the position of about 200 steps outside the city wall, the person in charge of supervising the battle is still Lou Fu Archer;
It's just that in the past few days, these Lou Fu Bow Riders have no exception, and they don't carry longbows on their bodies.
The cluster of arrows that should have been hanging in the carriage did not appear.
Only the ragged knights rode on the bare horses, watching the slaves and cannon fodder from afar, rushing to the city wall to die;
Every time the attack lasted more than an hour, the slaves would be summoned to retreat, and the three-edged arrows collected by the slaves would be collected, and the army would be reorganized for the next siege······
"Hu is doing this, don't you want to cheat my Han family's arrow?"
"Hiss~"
"——One crossbowman, three or ······five Yi Han arrows"
saw that Jin She suddenly let out a question, and before he finished speaking, he looked out of the city with dull eyes;
Waiting for Quan Xu also followed Jin She's gaze, he looked at the Lou Fu rider who fell off the horse outside the city, but found that after the man fell off the horse, there were no other Lou Fu riders who stepped forward to check.
Not only did he come forward to check, but after the 'Lou Fu Bow Rider' fell off his horse, he couldn't get up from the ground for a long time······
Seeing the abnormality, Jin She and Quan Xu on the city wall looked at each other for a moment, and they all let out an exclamation!
"The golden cicada is out of its shell!
! ”
