Chapter 124: Destroying the Country


On April 20, it was very dark, but the fire inside and outside the city lit up the night sky, and in the streets and alleys of the city, the frightened faces were reflected.Qiuci prides itself on being a great country, and before the Han and Xiongnu came, they were the only ones in the Western Regions, and Qiuci City is the heart of the Western Regions.Therefore, the Qiuzi people are stronger than Gumo, who immediately tied up their own king and threw them out to pray for surrender after being besieged.The news of the fall of its Qiancheng had already arrived, and they had made preparations in advance, and Ding Zhuang had been mobilized to resist.After all, we all know the temperament of nomads, and once Qiuzi falls, this most prosperous city in the Western Regions may fall into catastrophe.Qiuzi has the highest and thickest triple city wall in the Western Regions, with tens of thousands of people and 2,000 soldiers.Because Qiuzi has copper and iron, and the equipment is quite sophisticated, he may be able to hold on for a while until the main force of Qiuzi led by Zuo Li Fujun Guyi comes back to help.Perhaps, the mighty Xiongnu will also come to the aid of Qiuzi.But the outer city held out for less than a day.When it was about to fall at night, a fire was lit on the hill on the northern outskirts of the city, and the city immediately echoed, and the southeast and northwest corners were on fire at the same time.The rain was scarce and very dry, and the flames scurried on the dry red willow poplar pillars, spreading quickly.Some people even spread rumors that the Han army had entered the city, which immediately caused riots in the outer city, and the Wusun people also saw this opportunity and launched a strong attack!

Ren Hong and Han Dangdang didn't get involved, and only watched with interest from a distance as the rookies pecked each other.The city attack and defense technology originally needed to be tempered by war, and the so-called city in the Shang and Zhou dynasties was just a slightly higher earth wall, and people could climb it, so they didn't need to think about attacking the city.However, when the princes and scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period made their walls higher and higher, high enough to exceed the etiquette system, and Confucius was angry and wanted to "fall into the three capitals", the corresponding offensive equipment should come out from time to time.The public loser team made a ladder, and Mozi also invented a variety of defensive tools in color.The art of attack and defense has been tested in the tragic Warring States Period, the seven heroes competed with each other, and more than 100,000 people attacked the city at every turn, and the water attack, fire attack, and cave attack were really used to the extreme.But here in the Western Regions, it's much simpler, Qiuzi is the tallest city wall, right?

But it is only three zhang high, that is, five or six meters, which is about the same as an ordinary county town in Handi.The garrison equipment at the head of the city is also very monotonous, and it is not as good as the level of the Central Plains in the Spring and Autumn Period.So what Ren Hong saw was that the two sides could be called upright offense and defense.The Wusun people have little experience in attacking cities, but they can't stand the large number of people and excellent archers, first more than 1,000 people dismount and shoot, standing more than 100 steps away, the curved Scythian bow is aimed at the head of the city, this kind of bow has a very long range, and the arrows in the sky are so overwhelming that the Qiuzi people can't raise their heads.They are not like the Han soldiers, who wear heavy armor and can talk and laugh in the rain of arrows.At this time, under the command of General Wusunyou, nearly 100 Wusun people carried a huge wooden plank tied from dozens of poplar trunks, howling and rushing towards the city wall.Looking at this simple scene, Ren Hong couldn't help but have such a sentence in his mind."

Attacking Qiuci County will be a strategic turning point in this Han-Hungarian all-out war!"

In the plan of the right general of Wusun, the bridge was built directly with wooden planks, and the Wusun cavalry rushed up, and the outer city was taken.Easier said than done, the planks were too heavy, the Wusun people walked very slowly, and the Qiuzi people also used their colors to keep falling arrows, but fortunately, most of them were nailed to the planks, and only occasionally killed and injured a few people.Seeing that the Wusun people were about to put the planks on the city wall, and the rain of arrows outside the city subsided, the Qiuzi people stood at the head of the wall with red eyes and long soldiers in their hands to block it, but the melee troops of the Wusun people were dispatched.They charged the wall, and when they were near, they threw their spears at them, knocking them down.With a bang, the plank was put on the city wall, and before the Qiuzi people pushed it down, the first team of Wusun knights rushed directly onto the wall!

Once the city wall was gone, the Qiuzi people were no match for Wusun at all, and soon, the entire city wall was occupied.The Wusun people occupy a high place, and the arrows can be shot to every corner of the outer city, and the ordinary Qiuzi people who were organized to fight are scattered in a hurry, each returning to his home, running everywhere in the streets and alleys, and behind him are the Wusun knights who are chasing and killing on horseback.When Ren Hong ascended to the top of the city, he happened to see a Wusun knight stabbing the fleeing Qiuzi man to death in the back, and then came down and brutally cut off his scalp, which was bloodily hung on his waist as a medal for this battle.As for the Qiuzi soldiers, those who surrendered and died died, and the rest fled into the second city wall in a hurry.Unfortunately, the wall didn't last long, and just before the Wusun people were about to break open the gate, it opened on its own.There was a fire inside, and the Qiuzi people who wanted to resist fell to the ground in all directions, and out of their knees was a "white ceremony" of the right lieutenant of Qiuzi.He led the Qiuzi nobles, opened one of the gates, and begged to Wusun and the Han envoys."

Ren Jun, the reason why Qiuzi helped the Huns and offended the Han and Wusun is the crime of Guyi and King Qiuci!

It has nothing to do with our martial arts!

”Bai Li was an old acquaintance who was taken hostage by Ren Hong, but unfortunately it was useless, but he was injured by the Qiuzi people's own arrows, and Ren Hong also thought he was burdensome, so he threw it halfway, and he didn't want to die.Today, Bai Li took the initiative to open the door and surrender, and Ren Hong pondered that among the three small states after Qiuzi's dismemberment, he might be able to leave a place for him.Ren Hong then asked Bai Li: "Where are the turtle kings, Jiangbin and Gu Yi?"

”"Yu Renjun, Jiangbin is in the palace, and Guyi personally leads the main force to help the Huns' servants and servants to besiege Luntai."

Bai Li didn't dare to look up at Ren Hong, that day they thought that this was just a little envoy, insignificant, but they never thought that it was this person who brought destruction to Qiuzi."

Luntai is still there?"

Ren Hong is most concerned about this, don't be a step late when you arrive.Bai Li said with a smile: "Ren Jun rest assured, the Han Heavenly Soldiers are brave, and the armor is excellent, and Gu Yi has not set foot on the city wall even half a step after repeated strong attacks. ”He looked at the chaotic scene in Qiuzi City, and pleaded: "I still hope that Ren Jun can restrain the Wusun people, don't want to" It was too late, and they originally belonged to different Xihou Wusun people, and they began to dissolve themselves regardless of the fact that the battle was not over.Three or five groups went to plunder the Qiuzi nobles who lived in the middle city, and even the general of Wusun You couldn't control them.Ren Hong spread his hands: "Bai Duwei, the wolf who saw blood can't be stopped, I can't help it, I can only keep your family safe." ”Qiuzi City was originally the condition that Ren Hong and Wusun had negotiated, among which the golden silk women were allowed to be plundered.If the Wusun people don't taste some sweetness, and then go to the wheel platform, the ditch plow, and deal with the Xiongnu, they are afraid they will not be willing to help.If you want the horses to run, and you want the horses not to eat grass, how can there be such a cheap thing, it's not that Ren Hong is cold-blooded and ruthless, it's just that everything must give priority to Han's interests.At this time, as soon as he lowered his head, he found that a dragon horse flag that the Qiuzi people were proud of was trampled under the feet of the radish.Seeing its tail flick and flick, Ren Hong knew that this was a prelude to.Ren Hong dismounted and slapped the radish, drove it to the side, and he bent down to pick up the flag of the turtle, blew away the dust on it, and stretched it out.This flag is made of Han silk, embroidered with a dragon horse: the body of the horse and the dragon scales, eight feet five inches high, like a Luo with wings, not without water, very spiritual.The ancestors of the Qiuzi people, who are said to be able to tame the evil dragon of the northern dragon pond and turn it into a horse, used it as a mount to conquer many tribes at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and establish the great state of Qiuci, a city that will be famous for Buddhism, grottoes and music and dance for thousands of years in the future.Ren Hong shook his head: "The Wusun people will soon leave, take away the gold and luxury goods, and leave this land behind.The wounds of the war will heal, the Han army will be stationed, and Qiuci will usher in peace and glory in the future, but the royal family of Qiuci, who worship Ryoma, since you have chosen the wrong path, you can only end here. ”He walked over to a burning building and threw the flag into it!

Let it burn to ashes."

The destruction of Qiuzi will make the entire Western Regions remember Su Ziqing's words.""

Nanyue killed the Han envoys and slaughtered them as nine counties; King Wan killed the Han envoy, Touxian Beique; North Korea killed the Han envoy and immediately exterminated. ”"And today, Qiuzi wants to kill the Han envoy, but he is dead!"

Qiuzi City fell into chaos, and the Wusun people were also completely chaotic, and the Wusun people, who couldn't grab the nobles, pointed the finger at the ordinary people in the outer city, like a wild wolf that was completely out of control.There were less than four or five hundred elites left who still maintained the structure, and they followed Yuan Guimi and Princess Yaoguang, and stepped into the Qiuzi Palace, which had been opened, with the attitude of victors.This is the first time in a month, Yaoguang has come to the Qiuzi Palace again.At that time, when she was holding Jiangbin hostage, it was a long way to go out, although her face was calm, but there were turtles with sharp blades on the left and right, and she could go on a business trip at any time.If it weren't for Ren Hong and the officials of the mission to rescue them, they were almost shot by the Huns at the last moment, and they fell short.But today, I rushed in, but I only felt that the road was extremely short, and I arrived at it after a light gallop.There are still many green peacocks in the garden, and in order to support these magnificent creatures, the Qiuzi people specially cut their wings so that they can fly on the branches at most.Now, the timid peacock is frightened by the chaos in the city and runs around, or jumps up and down the branches.Seeing such a beautiful bird for the first time, many Wusun people thought that its tail feather was a good thing for decoration, so they stopped, held bows and arrows, and shot at the flock of peacocks at will.There was a wailing sound, feathers flying, blood on the neck, hanging on the ground and dying, and then the Wusun people came to the front and carried them to roast food, or they were plucked on the spot.Just like outside the palace, everything that is happening in Qiuzi City.But the Wusun people's amazement of Qiuzi City ended here, and after entering the palace, they found that this was not as gorgeous as the Han envoy said, decorated with Langxuan gold and jade, like a god's residence, and they were immediately disappointed.The gold that can be grabbed by this trip should be much less than imagined.But Yaoguang knew that for her eldest brother Yuan Guimi, there was something in the palace that was more precious than gold, which could make her brother gain the respect of the Wusun people.Although the Qiuzi Palace is not big, it is in chaos at the moment, more than 100 attendants and slaves are running around, and there may be people hidden in every corner, and the Wusun people are very headaches, where to find the Qiuci King?"

He's easy to recognize."

Yaoguang glanced around, whether it was a slave or an official, her hair was only up to her neck, and she couldn't help but think of the prince who was courteous in front of her, and her eyes were like flying when she danced the turtle dance, and her long hair was fluttering."

Find!

Search every corner of the palace. ”She gritted her teeth and ordered: "The one with long hair is the king of Qiuzi!"
