One must build on a firm foundation.

Many people who do not die will not understand the meaning of this sentence. When Beidi came to attack, they retreated to their nests, hoping that the defenders of the city would defeat the enemy.

When Beidi captured the city, they were still cowering in their own nests, hoping that Beidi would spare their family.

By the time they understand the meaning of this sentence, they are often ruined.

Heavy horses' hooves beat against the stone slabs in the street, and even more so on the hearts of the residents on both sides. Today, I don't know who is going to be unlucky.

Yesterday, he just grabbed a Yan army who shot the leading general during the siege of Beidi, and the corpse of the whole family is now hanging outside the south gate, so that the people and horses passing by can take a look, this is the end of the confrontation with them.

A wolf's head banner was waving in the wind, and a few simple gold lines outlined a lifelike golden wolf's head. This is the royal banner of the Beidi army. Under the military flag, hundreds of neat armor soldiers rode jujube red horses of the same height, which was even more powerful.

Although the northern Xinjiang is not rich in copper and iron, it is rich in pasture, and it is also rich in cattle and sheep that graze pasture. Every year, relying on the exchange of cattle and sheep for the iron tools of the Yan Kingdom, such as Tieding Iron Ox and other things, Beidi, a place that does not produce copper and iron, has slowly hoarded thousands of sets of armor, although it cannot be compared with the hundreds of thousands of armor soldiers of the Central Plains Dynasty, the leaders of the Beidi tribal alliance are also very satisfied. They have sharp scimitars and fiery chests. There is such a thing as armor, what is the difference between having it and not having it?

Although most people think so, Beidi's largest golden wolf department doesn't think so. As the largest tribe in Northern Xinjiang, he is now the lord of the alliance, the king of the grassland. If they are as shabby as other tribes, it will be too embarrassing for them.

So this time when he went south, the patriarch distributed all the hundreds of sets of armor that had been hoarded in the clan for decades, so that these southerners and the rest of the tribe could experience what it means to be majestic and iron-clad like a mountain.

Sure enough, in the first battle, these hundreds of ironclad cavalry played a great role. Yan Guo also thought that most of Beidi were light cavalry and could only shoot bows and arrows from a distance. Who would have thought that Beidi actually had a heavy cavalry composed of hundreds of people. As soon as the two sides came into contact, Yan Jun suffered a big loss.

The ash barrel of the gun, which could have defended against the light cavalry, was now broken by the heavy cavalry, and the infantry with the spear was torn with their hands and trampled to the ground with their flesh and blood.

After a battle on the plains outside the city, there was not one in ten defenders of the Yan Kingdom, and the city guards also hanged themselves on the beams in the city guard mansion because of guilt for their improper command.

Although the adjutant general organized the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend the city many times, the enemy was outnumbered, and the city was finally defeated. The most active lieutenant was also hanged outside the south gate, becoming the first guests there.

After Beidi entered the city, he searched for the deserters of the Yan army everywhere, and whoever dared to harbor the remnants of the Yan army, waiting for his family was the only way to hang themselves at the gate of the city.

So, those who had grudges and hatreds in the past finally got the opportunity to take revenge. Neighbors harboring Yan Jun, report. If the neighbor does not harbor Yan Jun, he should also report it. If you say it right, you can get a reward again, and you can watch the neighbor's family be unlucky, why not.

So on the third day of Beidi's entry into the city, the entire south city wall was hung with corpses swaying in the wind, and when the northwest wind blew, the corpses fluttered in the wind, which had a cruel beauty.

Seeing the cavalry under the Beidi King's tent, who was like a murderous demon king, carrying a big banner and swaggering through the city, everyone was worried about whether it would be them who were unlucky. So most of them shrank their heads and went into the various shops that were still open on both sides of the road.

It's not that they have a hard background to be able to stay open as usual after the city is broken. It's just that the master of the Beidi Golden Wolf Department made a message, as long as the family is not dead, it should be opened, and whoever dares to disobey his order, he will let that house never have the manpower to reopen.

The family of the shopkeeper Li who had just been buried outside the city is the best example. Relying on the fact that he was a distant relative of General Li in the capital, he disobeyed the order of the master first. That night, the whole family was dragged out of the city to find a place with the worst feng shui and buried alive. This is to let his descendants taste the fate of offending that master.

The next day, after the news spread, even if there was really only one person left in the family, they had to open the door normally. For a time, the city was full of people who were sitting alone outside the store with sad faces and crying.

The lord gave another order: whoever is not smiling to welcome the guests will let the iron horsemen under his command pull people out, cut the corners of their mouths on the street, and cut them into a raised smile. As for whether the mouth torn into four petals will leak and not affect their eating, it has nothing to do with that master, all he wants is a smiling face all over the city.

After the lord entered the city, the third thing he did was to order each family to hand over a colored cloth to decorate the city. The cloth handed in by each family was torn into strips of color, and flowers of all colors were pierced on the dead branches that had already fallen their leaves. There are also three or five small birds sewn from grain-filled cloth on each tree.

If anyone can't hand over a piece of cloth, then I'm sorry, please go to the south city wall for a few days to blow the wind outside the south wall. When the air dries, you can come down. For a time, the city was full of expensive.

Poor families selling their sons and daughters just to get a piece of cloth can be seen everywhere.

Xu Ao led his four children to hide in a restaurant. The shopkeeper of the restaurant sighed at the empty Jiugang, and the group of people in Beidi never gave money for eating and drinking. The money that the shopkeeper had worked hard to save all his life was about to be eaten up by them. How can you not sigh.

However, when he caught a glimpse of someone coming in, the shopkeeper hurriedly changed to a smiling face: "A few guest officers, but what do you want to eat?"

"Uncle, it's me!" the little girl waved her little hand and greeted the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper saw that it was a little girl who often came to beg, sighed, patted her somewhat stiff face, and put away her false smile: "Little peony, these are the brothers of the Golden Dragon Gang in your mouth, right? I don't have much to eat, but I should still have a few sweet potatoes in the kitchen. I'm going to cook it for you. I haven't eaten for a few days. ”

"Uncle, I've eaten it!" the shopkeeper looked back in surprise, this little girl really didn't rummage around for food as usual, and thought she had really eaten it.

It's good, it's good, these children are also hard. If it had been before, he would have helped him a little bit. Now, alas, no one has any food left.

Just opened a restaurant that couldn't even provide the most basic white flour cakes, and the shopkeeper really didn't know what the meaning was: "Sit down, sit down, and avoid man-made disasters." ”
