And the Kun advocated that the lives of this group of people should be left behind, and they could not be killed in vain, not to mention that it was difficult to gather manpower for a while, and copper materials were urgently needed for the war. After thinking about it for a while, E Jun still agreed with his nephew's opinion.

"It's you!" He was both surprised and puzzled: "Have you all escaped from Tonglu Mountain? How do you know that I have come to set up an ambush in White Horse Ferry as a matter of secrecy?" Even fugitive slaves know the behavior of the army, and if this leak is not filled, the country will not be a country!

"Don't doubt it, Childe!" The leading fugitive slave arched his hand and said, "We took advantage of the opportunity of Hubei and the two armies fighting for Tonglu Mountain to escape, and the valley lord of Menglan Valley took it in and planted some flowers, plants, fruits and trees. I don't want Langu to be taken away by Exiang Huaiqing, so we have to live in the mountains. As for coming here to help the son, it is really the invitation of the uncle and the girl. Back then, in Langu, I waited for many uncles and concubines to take care of her, she was invited, and the son was my life-saving benefactor, how could there be any excuse?"

"What did you say? Uncle? Where is she?" He grabbed the man's chest and kept asking. A person who has just picked up a life on the battlefield can not be agitated when he hears the whereabouts of his beloved wife at first glance?

"Childe...... Don't be like this, the uncle and the girl just told me to come to Baima Nandu to wait for the son, as long as she saw the son in a siege, she would come to the rescue. Then she was gone, and I don't know where she went!"

The man looked helpless, and E Kun also knew that what he said was the truth. Uncle Yu didn't see him for his own reason, but when he heard that she had also stayed in the origin of Lanxiang Madder, E Kun was very shocked. There are many things, many mysteries that cannot be solved, and he really wants to ask them in person, but his uncle never wants to give him this opportunity.

"Uncle—" Ao Kun shouted at the starry night sky, "Where are you?" Why are you avoiding me? Who the hell are you—"

Not far away, on the top of a mountain where a crescent moon hung obliquely, a thin figure was sobbing in a low voice: "Childe...... I'm sorry for you...... Forget me......

"If you are so reluctant to be so reluctant, why don't you go down and see each other?" A clear and beautiful voice swept behind the woman, shocking her all over, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and bowed, and said, "Valley master, I shouldn't have leaked the secret news, now that the son is out of danger, the uncle is at the disposal of the valley master without complaint."

Wu Kui snorted lightly in his nose: "When you were in Langu, you were in charge of raising the letter eagle, and I don't want you to use this convenience to intercept the secret report I sent to Luoyi, causing the letter eagle to be half a day late. Do you know? For the sake of his own personal feelings, he almost ruined the major affairs of the social leader."

"I know that I broke the rules of the Nanlin Society, so I let the valley master deal with it, and it was all my uncle's own doing."

"Alas—" Wu Kui sighed softly, "As a woman, it is difficult to break free from the word 'love'. Maybe I'm going to break the rules today, but fortunately, only I know about this matter in the society, and I can still cover it. Let's go! In the future, it will have nothing to do with the Nanlin Society!"

Uncle Yu raised her eyes in shock, but the familiar black saree was no longer visible on the top of the mountain, and her eyes instantly filled with tears, and she knelt down and bowed, "Thank you Valley Lord—"

The next day, the battlefield was counted, and there were more than 11,000 corpses of the Hubei army; The Zhou army suffered 5,000 killed, more than 1,000 seriously wounded, and more than 2,000 lightly wounded, that is to say, Boyan's 15,000 iron cavalry was almost either dead or wounded, which was an unprecedented tragic victory. What's more, if it weren't for Weihe's Wangcheng Ruishi, it was likely that the casualties would have been even heavier.

was so angry that Boyan gritted his teeth and swore an oath: "E Kun, next time I won't kill you to rescore, Ji Boyan swears not to be a man!"

Wei He was silent for a long time, and let out a long sigh: "If you win miserably, it will be my fault!" Our army has few soldiers, and the Ekun dares to fight to the death. It seems that it is a mistake to divide the troops, and to fight a war cannot be fought purely by combat strength, but must have an advantage in troops."

Chongli on the side couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wei He blaming himself like this: "What did Wei Hou say? Can you fight a war without dying? He fought to the death, and only then did he have the strength, so that we could bite our heads!"

Wei He shook his head and didn't speak again.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the territory of the vassal states was not large, such as Song Weiqi and other large countries were within a hundred cities, as for small countries, such as the Yang Kingdom only had one city, there were not a few. There are more than 50 large and small cities in Hubei, which can be regarded as an upper-middle vassal state, but excluding the several mountain states and water town tribes it contains, most of these tribes are Yi tribes.

Many of the hill tribes had castles, and they usually lived in a variety of sizes

In the castle, to capture the castle is to occupy the axis of the state or tribe.

Like the rest of the vassal states, the large and small cities in Hubei were either directly under the jurisdiction of the monarch or the lord's cities that were the fiefs of the nobility. This kind of city is a concentration of wealth, but the defenders are very few, the government only has guards to catch thieves and official guards, and the big city is only three to five hundred soldiers at most.

The fiefdom of the aristocratic ministers, in this era of observance of the "Zhou Rites", is not allowed to have private soldiers, at most it is only a few hundred families of their own clans to protect the city, and they cannot openly form an army, they can only have emergencies. There are more than 50 large and small cities in Hubei, except for Echeng as the national capital and 3,000 soldiers and horses are stationed, the rest of the cities are almost a small number of non-war soldiers.

Ordinary cities do not garrison troops, which is a common practice in the world. The city is garrisoned, and there will be many soldiers, and no matter how rich you are, the state will be overwhelmed. Only in this way, in addition to the fortresses and ferries and other places where soldiers must fight, it is also a general rule since ancient times that a country's army is concentrated in garrisons and concentrated operations. Wherever there is an enemy, the army immediately rushes to the place, this is the principle of impermanence. If there is a danger and the army cannot arrive, it means that the area in distress will definitely fall. After all, ordinary civilians simply cannot stand up to a well-trained and well-equipped army.

After the 50,000 elite cavalry of the Kun and the Hubei were defeated at the Shuangdu of the Great River, for the Eighth Division of Chengzhou, the entire Hubei country became a battlefield without opponents.

Wei He attacked Fancheng for the first time. More than 100 large stone throwers and thousands of strong crossbows are lined up under the city, and the black pressure is dense and the turns are boundless. Rushing to the car ladder watchtower, the mountain generally stands on top of each other. The 20,000 siege armor soldiers were arrayed, and the red shields were shining.

This unprecedented momentum alone shocked the more than 1,000 defenders at the head of Fancheng. When the war drums sounded like thunder and horns, the big stone arrows rained down like a storm to the arrow tower of the female wall, and the chariot rumbled and slammed into the city gate. In a matter of moments, the arrow tower collapsed and the city gate shattered. In less than an hour, the Zhou army poured into the former capital of the country like a tsunami, holding the exit of Suizaojin Road tightly in his hand.

Attack Wancheng again. As soon as the red phalanx of the Zhou army was formed, a huge white cloth was hung at the head of the city, and a person at the head of the city hissed and shouted: "I am the Wancheng order, the Zhou army has not hurt the people, and Wancheng is willing to surrender to Zhou——"
