"Zhou Tai, who asked you to kill the prisoner?" In front of the military formation, Zhou Tai and Wei Yan knelt on one knee in front of Liu Cang's chariot, and Liu Cang frowned and asked.

“。

。 Zhou Tai was silent.

"May I be punished by the Lord." The mountain-like Wei Yan spoke respectfully.

"How many killed?" Glancing at Wei Yan, Liu Cang asked.

"The young and strong are slaughtered, and there are still 6,000 old and weak left." Wei Yan replied.

Liu Cang led the army to Zhou Tai and Wei Yan, because the 'sheepfold' was found in this Xianbei, and after more than 30 pregnant women learned that they had been rescued, half of them committed suicide, and all they wanted was not to be eaten after death.

Zhou Tai was furious, and after confirming that these women were all Xianbei offspring, he killed the remaining women and slaughtered the Xianbei captives in his hands.

Liu Cang asked, Zhou Tai didn't have the slightest intention of justifying, but Wei Yan was smarter than Zhou Tai, and his attitude was correct, but when he talked about slaughtering prisoners, his tone was also full of comfort.

"Let's not take this as an example. The development of Yangzhou needs manpower, and these captives are still of great use, so don't be righteous. Liu Cang shook his head, but he didn't mean to punish the two.

"Lord, this clan is not as good as a beast, how can it be used lightly!" Zhou Tai finally spoke, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he rushed with Liu Cang, and anxiety flashed on Wei Yan's face.

"Yangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, reclamation of canals, opening mountains and filling gullies, all require a lot of manpower, don't you need them, do you go up?" Liu Cang asked.

"Yes.

。 Zhou Tai wanted to argue, but he didn't know where to start, and his cheeks blushed for a while.

"Tsk, kill it or not, why do you leave some old and weak behind? All the captives were beaten as stateless slaves, leaving their thumbs and ring fingers, and the rest of their fingers were cut off. Liu Cang said again, Zhou Tai was stunned, Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his eyes twitched.

"What, what's the matter?" The two were silent, and Liu Cang asked impatiently.

"No, my lord is wise." This time, even Zhou Tai lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes.

If you have no nationality, you don't need to ensure the safety of the other party's life, and you don't even need to protect the other party's survival needs, only two fingers can pick and lift, and you can hold some work tools, but you can't open the bow, you can't swing the knife, and you are basically slaughtered.

Obviously, Liu Cang really wanted to use these Xianbei captives, and at the same time, Zhou Tai was also secretly annoyed, sure enough, he was still too simple, and it was a pity that those young people died.

"Record the battle losses of the Yangzhou army in detail, and do the matter of breaking the finger quickly, so that the Tianshu battalion will send skilled hands to escort the slaves back to the Han realm as soon as possible, and if they do not obey, they can be slaughtered. In the future, I will give the lonely and the old and weak, and the military law will be engaged. Liu Cang waved his hand.

"Whoa!" Zhou Tai and Wei Yan got up in response and left quickly.

"Wenhe, how is the situation of the various ministries?" The two left, Liu Cang waved his army and marched, here Liu Cang was just passing by, and the place where they finally gathered their troops was where the Baibu Wangcheng was located.

"Everything is going well, the scouts within a radius of thousands of miles are in place, the three battalions of Tianquan, Yuheng, and Tianji have arrived at the Baibu Mountain Stream Fortress, Zhou Yu asked for an order to attack, but the eastern Xianbei is a little abnormal, and there has been no sign of sending troops so far." Jia Xu said to Liu Cang.

"Spread the book Zhou Yu's fire attack, if you can burn Wuluan Mountain before our army arrives, it will be a great achievement. However, the eastern Xianbei is indeed too peaceful. Liu Cang nodded in thought.

The eastern Xianbei mentioned by the two mainly refers to the Xianbei of Liaodong and the Xianbei of Liaoxi, as well as the Xianbei Yuwen Department integrated with a large number of Huns.

This season is the period when the nomadic action is the strongest, don't look at the Xianbei tribes are also pinched to death on weekdays, but Liu Cang invaded the grassland on a large scale, and the small Xianbei is just a small species, how to say that most of them should not organize a counterattack.

The Xianbei have been divided for many years, adhering to the Huqiang tradition, they basically do not eat much fish. Nomad, I don't like farming, but it's weird, in fact, Xianbei doesn't like hunting.

Grazing, robbing, and enslaving others are their main way of life, whether it is farming or hunting, they like to enslave others to do it, and Liu Cang's invasion has undoubtedly greatly disturbed the overall 'ecological balance' of Xianbei.

Liu Cang invaded the grassland for half a month, and the slaves were repatriated to the Han land several times, but they still did not encounter the encirclement and suppression of the big clans, and it seemed that it was meaningless to personally lead the strong troops to suppress the formation.

Confused for a while, he kept in contact with Pan Feng at all times to confirm that there was no change in the Han land, and Liu Cang had already ordered the army to gather troops, intending to break through the Baibu Wangcheng with all his might, and return to Han to make a detailed investigation of the situation on the grassland.

The army marched, and along the way, there were many corps carrying cattle and horses to return to the Chinese army, and the cattle and horses were wounded and the auxiliary soldiers were enough to take care of them.

Unlike the usual situation, this time Liu Cang did not accept prisoners under the age of ten and over forty, and all the captives were cut off as slaves.

After half a day, the fire in the distance soared into the sky, and the soldiers of the third battalion returned, and Zhou Yu reported the burning of the mountain to Liu Cang in a bad spirit.

The army detoured Wuluan Mountain, which is an important pass of Baibu Xianbei, which is a bit similar to the situation encountered by Liu Cang in the Qiang Land in the early years, the Baibu Mountains garrisoned the troops, and the mountain walls in the rugged area are densely covered with steps and stairs, the terrain is steep, and it is difficult to attack.

In order to avoid harassment by the enemy in the rear and hold the dangerous slope mountain road, Zhou Yu simply took advantage of the good solar term to set fire to the entire Wuluan Mountain, and countless people fell off the cliff and jumped off the cliff in the mountain.

After half a day, we finally arrived at the Baibu Wangcheng, and the nearly kilometer-long city wall built a large-scale city system.

The castle is large, but the height of the castle wall is still mainly a five-meter wall made of earth, which looks a little quaint at best.

There are also trenches on the side of the city, but obviously the other party does not think that this kind of city wall can resist the siege of the Han army, there are a large number of people without armor and bows standing on the city wall, and the outside of the city has been densely packed with cavalry, and all kinds of war horses under the city pull out a battle line much longer than the city wall.

He frowned and looked at the cavalry opposite.

Liu Cang's eyesight can now roughly distinguish the number of enemy troops, the enemy cavalry is more than 20,000, half of them are armoured, and there are about 30,000 foot soldiers behind them, and thousands of bows in the city.

"Lord, there are too few cavalry troops, and there are still many troops in the enemy's city, or there is a intention to abandon the city." Liu Cang looked at it, and Jia Xu also frowned and said.

"Hmm." The corners of Liu Cang's mouth curled, as if he was smiling.

"General Han and listen, I have respected the Han for a long time and have never violated the Han realm. It is unkind to slaughter for no reason, and our department is willing to pay tribute to 300,000 cattle and sheep, and I hope that the general will stop the army and stop the war, so as not to make life miserable. When Liu Cang laughed, a cavalry team rushed out from the opposite side, and shouted Chinese first.

"The crossbow is out of the battle, the generals, stand by to attack!" Ignoring the shouting from the other side, Liu Cang ordered in a deep voice.

"Woo~~" The horn of preparation sounded, and the drums of pre-war were beating.

The army formation gave way, but the auxiliary army wandering all the way came out of 10,000 people.

In a group of five people, each group carries a crossbow with eight beds, and two thousand crossbows are interspersed in front of the army, lining up in a line.

The army marched, and Xianbei shouted and cursed on the opposite side, saying that the auxiliary soldiers led by Liu Cang were not without the ability to attack.

"Enter!" The order was issued, the army array moved together, and the Han army as a whole was pressed on the location of Beichengchi.

The north and south faced the enemy, thousands of kilometers away from the Xianbei cavalry, and half of the soldiers of the two battalions of Tianshu and Kaiyang were scattered from east to west. The drum beat turned into the rhythm of arrow attack, and in the dense drum beat, the Han army seemed to be speeding up, and the opposite Xianbei shouted and cheered, and thousands of horses galloped.

"Tong!" Dense and sudden drum hammer stops.

"Drink!" The hosts shouted and stepped on the earth.

"String~! Shoot~! ”

"Hum~~"

Countless thick crossbows shot out, the wind rose suddenly, and the Xianbei cavalry who rushed out hundreds of meters overturned like a line of mowing grass.

"Wind~, gale!" Drink the order echoes.

The iron crest stretches the strings, and the tens of thousands of people in Liu Cang's army who can open the iron crest lead the strings and shoot.

At the same time, the big yellow kicked the crossbow, the military bow was ready to fire, and after tens of thousands of strong bows and arrows attacked, the Xianbei cavalry with red eyes roaring had entered a distance of 500 meters.

The sky is dark, the sky is full of arrow rain, different from the early bed crossbow, throwing arrow rain, the front row of Xianbei cavalry is not damaged, and then it is people on their backs to turn over, and pieces of Xianbei cavalry soldiers and horses fall down.

Before the battle was received, the Xianbei cavalry went to six or seven.

"Shooting~!" The iron crest opened again, and it was about to shoot straight out.

The remaining Xianbei cavalry desperately waved arrows to attack, and the strange name was to ride the horses, and they scattered and fled, and there was no intention of charging.

Everything happened too fast, this is not the war in the cognition of the Xianbei cavalry, the Han army has a strong bow, but there are too many strong bows for stepping on horses, right?

This battle can't be fought!

The remaining cavalry didn't care about anything else, they ran first, and it didn't hurt to flee from this battlefield and switch to other units.

The cavalry fled, and the foot soldiers who shouted to kill in the rear were hung in front of the Han army, and the crazy screams of the foot soldiers were once again in their throats.

The corpses of people and horses everywhere in front of them can even stop their running. Two rounds of arrows, they haven't seen an arrow attack, two rounds of arrows are just a strike, shouldn't the cavalry rush through, they carry a shield?

Just? What happened?

Xianbei fought bravely, if you can't escape, Xianbei combat really has some characteristics of madness.

Maybe it's because they know how they treat their captives, or maybe they don't want to be food for others, so they usually can't escape, and Xianbei has a strong will to fight.

"Pass! Open! Open! Open! The heavy drums of war beat again.

"Invasion~!" The roar of the Han generals brought the Xianbei soldiers back to their senses.

"Ah~~"

"Ah~~" The rain of arrows struck, the wooden shield shattered, the leather shield was deflected, and pieces of foot soldiers fell to the ground.

A Xianbei foot soldier clenched the blade in his hand in astonishment, didn't he mean that he was attacking? How can there still be arrow attacks?

The rain of arrows had stopped, and the answer to his doubts was a fiery horse that had hollowed his chest.

The iron hoof shook the ground, and the city was destroyed by ten thousand armies.

Liu Cang fidgeted and tapped his fingers on the chariot, and the battle in front of him seemed to have no end for him.

"Order, tiger bear into the city. The whole army will be slaughtered, and the enemy outside the city will be exterminated."

Liu Cangyao pointed to the city gate, stepped into the battle, and two thousand iron-armored war beasts burst into the battlefield.
