Chapter 69 The Arrival of Locusts Tie Xinyuan couldn't understand why there would be smoke as long as it was a battlefield?
In the era of hot weapons, it is still understandable that in this era of cold weapons, why is there still smoke everywhere on the battlefield?
Uninhabited dilapidated houses are burning, broken wooden stakes are burning, and even some corpses are burning.
The samurai of the Fragrance Valley, full of destructive desires, are setting the humble houses outside the castle on fire one by one.
Just now, cold arrows shot out of these dilapidated houses, injuring more than a dozen of their own brothers.
The head of the shooter has been cut off, and he is being put into a wooden stick by the samurai of Kiyoya to demonstrate.
The castle lord who was clamoring to cut off the heads of Iron Heart Source and all the warriors of the Fragrance Valley now hung at the gate of the castle, shaking like a wind chime with the head of his deputy.
When countless enemies poured in from all directions, it was too late for the city lord to surrender.
I heard that when he cut off his head, he was still shouting and begging for mercy, and he couldn't figure out why someone would lead more than 100,000 people to attack such a small castle that could only live one or two thousand people.
The ruined castle gates were on one side, the corpses of the enemy were stacked like sacks on both sides of the gates, and some rich, richly dressed men were toiling the corpses in carts to bury them outside the walled city.
The rich and noble were busy burying the corpses and carrying the spoils of war, while the beautiful, noble ladies gathered around Tie Xinyuan, chattering about what the city was famous for.
Tie Xinyuan didn't embarrass these women, and listened to these women's explanations with a very gentlemanly ear.
Flattering the victors was something they had long been accustomed to doing, and they would have done the same if it had not been for the brutality of the Qarakhanids' army.
This is the unique way of survival of women in the Western Regions, and it is not at all as resolute as the daughter of the Han family when she encounters this kind of thing.
The enemy is so kind and handsome, so there are more and more women around Tie Xinyuan, and their clothes are becoming simpler and simpler.
The poor, unprotected Uighurs fled, but those who had the protection of the forts or castles did not want to leave their homes.
The Uighur kingdom had flourished for hundreds of years after the 200,000 Turkic tents were incorporated into the Uighur king, and now there are even more people fleeing from the Uighurs, even though these people are the people whom the Uighur kings look down on, and after a large number of departures, an empire still falls heavily into the dust.
The Uighur king seems to have forgotten the reason for the prosperity of the Uighur state, perhaps not knowing that the 200,000 Turkic people were the real source of the Uighur state's prosperity.
Tie Xinyuan naturally knew that there was strength in numbers, so he preferred to cut down on food and clothing himself to feed the 1.5 million Uighurs who remained in the land of Hami.
The Uighurs are just a name, and just as they were called Turks in the past, they will be called Hami in the future.
Tie Xinyuan firmly believes in this.
Of course, these people who remained in the Uighurs and were reluctant to go to Hami were the main blowers of Tiexinyuan at present.
Because no one, and because everyone knows the importance of food, as long as you open a castle, the granary in the castle will always be full.
Tie Xinyuan brought 150,000 people with him when he came out of Hami, and there were less than 20,000 real soldiers, and the rest were driven by carts to load grain.
In the present environment, as long as a hundred carts of grain are filled, 300 people will drive the 100 carts of grain back.
According to Tie Xinyuan's calculations, by the time he successfully arrived at Beshi Bali, there should only be soldiers left around him.
The north side of the Tianshan Mountains is really rich......
Tie Xinyuan has already made such an exclamation more than once.
The feeling in his hand is very good, I don't know when, one of his hands has been on the chest of a girl with delicate skin, and the slippery feel makes him almost want to pull his hand back.
The girl smiled and said, "Can my father and brother continue to help you carry grain?"
” Tie Xinyuan patted the girl's cheek and said, "Actually, I only want your family's food and gold, and I don't want the rest." ” Another noblewoman knelt in front of Tie Xinyuan, held his other hand, and said, "Don't you want this strong castle either?"
” Tie Xinyuan withdrew his hand from the girl's warm arms and said gently, "The poor people you drove out of the castle have all run away to my kingdom.
They have no food, no clothing, no place to live, and are in miserable condition.
Therefore, I have come this time so that they may be fed and clothed, and no hungry people will be allowed in my kingdom. ” "You really think you are a merciful king......"
Tie Xinyuan lifted the noble lady from the ground and said, "Therefore, there is no need to resist, as long as I am satisfied with food and gold and silver coins, war is a very boring thing, and there is no need for it to happen."
If you give it to me, I will take it, if you don't give it to me, I will take it too. ” This is the declaration of the victor, and Tie Xinyuan's words are naturally treated as proverbs by those women.
Until now, they did not understand why the handsome and strongly exotic king in front of them had not yet enjoyed them.
The hand just now didn't pay attention and made a mistake, this is already very excessive in Tie Xinyuan's opinion, if he does something else, Baozi will definitely tell his mother.
Wang Rouhua has always been worried that her son will become those beast-like kings in the Western Regions, and she has sternly warned her when she set out on the expedition, if she dares to mess around, she will use family law.
Tie Xinyuan still doesn't know what the family law is, but he believes that if he comes to the nonsense, his mother will definitely make the family law, maybe rattan, maybe a wooden plank, or maybe a whip, depending on the degree of Tie Xinyuan's mistakes.
Zhao Wan also told him that in the three days before leaving, Tie Xinyuan enjoyed all the gentleness, and similarly, he almost fell off the station horse on the first day of the march.
After pacifying these poor women, Tie Xinyuan returned to his army, Ah Da was drawing up a new route of march, according to his idea, the army should be divided into four routes, and the mighty advance towards Beshbali.
Only in this way can the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains be swept completely and purely in the shortest possible time.
The large cities on the northern side of the Tien Shan Mountains had already been swept by the Qarakhanid army, but the small and medium-sized castles hidden in the mountains or in secret places were ignored by the Qarakhanids that they were troubled or feared that sweeping these castles would slow down their march.
Second, the area on Tianshan North Road is very large, and it is very difficult to find those dotted castles from such a large area without the leadership of locals.

Naturally, Tiexinyuan did not have such trouble, and the Uighurs who came to transport grain were natives here.
Not only can they help Tie Xinyuan find these castles, but they can also help him find the hiding places of the rich people.
There is a lot of wealth in the big cities, but the real wealth is the small castles and the summer resorts of the rich.
When the Qarakhanids' armies arrived, it was only natural that the wealthy transported the wealth of the big cities to the hidden little castles.
Now, all of them are cheaper.
Tie 300 rudely dragged a noblewoman's hair past in front of Tie Xinyuan, not knowing what to do.
Tie Xinyuan naturally turned a blind eye, and the noble lady chose the wrong person who could protect her, and naturally deserved it.
More than 200 carts were escorted by ten samurai to the Tien Shan, and the castle called Dwarf Shanshan had completed its mission.
It was still early in the morning, and the four armies parted ways at the urging of Ah Da.
This army led by Tie Xinyuan is the largest in number and the most elite army.
All of them are samurai from Qingxiang Valley, and there is no miscellaneous army, unlike Iron Five, Iron Six, and Ah Da, the composition of the army they command is complex.
Therefore, this army is also the highest-ranking army in the Hami army, proud and brave.
The status is the highest, but the combat effectiveness is the lowest.
Whether it is those mercenaries from the Great Song Dynasty or those thugs from Qingtang, they are much more powerful than them.
Now, Tie Xinyuan can only take them to the defenseless Uighurs to rob a little loot.
Without the support of Huo'er's firearms battalion, Tie Xinyuan would not dare to come to this land of death.
It is a truth that the army can only grow up after seeing blood.
No matter how well they train on weekdays, they can't become a real army if they don't dare to kill.
In fact, the people of the Western Regions don't have much resistance to such things as killing, and if they like it, it can be justified, at least, Tie Xinyuan knows that in the winter when there is no food, they dare to eat any meat.
That is, in the past few years, there has always been no shortage of food with Tie Xinyuan, so he began to eat serious food.
According to Tie Yi, this group of people in the army can only become victorious lions after two deaths, and now, there is no need to have much hope for them.
It is difficult to find a suitable battlefield, and if the direction of Meng Yuanzhi's attack is reversed, Tie Xinyuan feels that he will probably have no so-called soldiers under his command.
The combat power of the Tangut people is obvious to all, and it is definitely not matched by an army that has completed training in a hurry.
The area of Tianshan North Road is vast, and not only that, but the weather conditions here are much better than those in Hami.
By the end of July, the wheat and beans had already been harvested, while the barley in the Daxue Mountains was still green, and it would take another twenty days for it to ripen.
There are still a lot of wheat fields waiting to be harvested outside the castle, and these wheat fields are very much for the castle, not much for an army of 100,000 people.
In just one morning, all the wheat in the wheat field was harvested, and many soldiers kneaded the ears of wheat with their hands, and blew off the skins while marching, and then put them into their own leather bags, and when they stopped at night, they needed to be carefully dried, and the king said that these wheat were the food for everyone these days.
