The livestock that Wumuchan and the Huns snatched from Yileshui have now entered the belly of the Han army, and those captured Wusun female slaves have also been untied from their necks, and after stabbing the whole family of the "master" with a knife, they are happily roasting meat for the Han army at this moment, and their hands and feet are nimble.Large pieces of lamb are grilled on red willow wood, and they are fragrant with just a little salt.Ren Hong marched with his soldiers for several days, and launched an attack at dawn, hungry and tired, and was about to blow the hot roasted mutton in his mouth, but there was a cheer in the distance.A team of horsemen returned, and Xin Qingji, who was in the lead, took a cloak and a bloody head, strode in front of Ren Hong, and presented his hands in front of Ren Hong."
Prince, the subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored!
The head of the black zen curtain is here!
”"Zizhen has made a great contribution."
Ren Hong could only put down the meat on his mouth and let the captive recognize it, and sure enough, it was the head of the sage who dusted his brother-in-law, so he praised Xin Qingji, and looked at the thing he hung on his waist and smiled: "I heard that Zizhen will wear a face armor when he goes out of battle, show me." ”Xin Qingji was a little embarrassed, his bloodstained hand handed over the face armor, Ren Hong found that it was made of all copper, quite similar to a face, with a pointed mouth and fangs, and a fierce face.Xin Qingji blushed and said: "The subordinate is young, his face is immature, his appearance is not like his father, but like his mother, wearing this armor can not be despised by the enemy." ”This is the same as the number of roads of King Lanling and Di Qing, Ren Hong returned the mask to Xin Qingji, handed him the hot barbecue, and announced that the collective and individual first achievements of the surprise attack on the royal court belonged to Longxi Qu!
This made Xin Qingji overjoyed, his temperament and upbringing were indeed not like his father.Out of the plug for more than two months, after the Black Gobi, Jiaohe, Yanqi three battles, but the limelight was robbed by the other three songs, Longxi Qu every time failed to reap the honor of commendation, Xin Qingji was very anxious, the subordinate Longxi Liangjia also held his breath, today the pursuit of Wu Chan curtain, finally proved himself.After this war, the original Longxi Quzhong questioned Xin Qingji's father's relationship with his father, and his young age suddenly became the chief of the song disappeared, and even many soldiers cut wood, followed suit, made masks and wore them on their faces, which became a trend, and the face armor became the symbol of Longxi Qu.The purpose of Ren Hong's attack on the Japanese court was to strike at the enemy's rear, and secondly, to feed the war with war, relying on the livestock of the Huns as food supplies.The army marched very quickly, and the tribes that did not follow the way, did not care at all, except for the cutting of the black Zen curtain, the remnants of the enemy generally did not pursue, and the herdsmen also let them escape, only let the Xiaoyue clan and the Xiu Tu Department under the command of Jin Xian roam around, and the dirty work was handed over to them to do.The Hugh Tu Department was very happy to accept this task, and Yang Yun found that they treated the Huns many times more cruelly than the Han army, and they still used the same set as the grassland, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Hugh Tu wantonly killed the Huns, and he won't be ashamed?"
”Ren Hong asked him rhetorically: "Ziyou thinks, what kind of clan are the Huns?"
”Yang Yun thought for a while: "The Xiongnu are the northern traveling country, and the Hu tribe is left. ”Still not accurate enough, Ren Hong smiled: "The Hu people in the left side of Saibei have been Xiongnu since thousands of years ago?"
”Yang Yun said: "According to my grandfather's statement, during the Six Kingdoms, there were Yiqu and Yueshi in the northwest of Qin, Shanrong and Donghu in the north of Yanzhi, and Linhu, Lou Fu, Baiyang in the north of Zhao, as well as the original Xiongnu Department" Indeed, the Xiongnu was only one of the many tribes on the grassland at first, and the reason why the Saibei Hu people were called the Xiongnu was mostly slowly annexed later.Henan Lou Fu and Bai Aries turned out to be different races, and after returning to the Xiongnu, they became the King of the Xiongnu Lou Fu and the King of Aries.The same is true of Hugh Tu and Hun Evil, it is said that they were once part of the Yue Clan, and after the Yue Clan collapsed and fled, they took refuge in the Xiongnu and became the Hun Hun Tu and Hun Evil King."
There are also a lot of foreigners, such as this Wuzen curtain, which is a small state in the middle of Wusun Kangju, and the ethnic language is completely different from that of the Xiongnu.If it was Yueshi and Donghu who dominated the grassland back then, they will now call themselves Yueshi and Donghu "The rules on the grassland are like this, the strong take all, to put it bluntly, the Xiongnu are just a kind of grassland people's collective imagination, an illusory sense of identity, not a modern concept of the nation."
Once the core of the Great Hundred Barbarians is not there, the various tribes that originally rushed to call themselves the Xiongnu will scatter and change their names.Therefore, in history, Xianbei occupied Mobei, and there would be a situation of "100,000 Xiongnu Xianbei", and then Rouran, Turkic, Uighur, Mongolian, some tribes on the steppe who are good at survival, I am afraid that they have changed countless names in the past thousand years.Ren Hong pointed to the Hugh Tu people who were violent to the Xiongnu herdsmen: "So the Hugh Tu Department killed the Huns in the Western Regions, just like the Huns killed Wusun, and Wusun killed Wuchan curtain, there will be no shame of slaughtering the same clan, if they are not divided according to the clan and the country, they are now Han people, you see, they are still filial piety for Emperor Xiaozhao!"
”By the first day of October, when the snow began to fall south of the Tianshan Mountains, the Han army had already penetrated the entire Bayinbrook grassland in one go, and after crossing the continuous hills, they could enter the Wusun territory.From the captured captives, Ren Hong also learned two things."
The bad news is that the fat king was assassinated and died, and Yuan Guimi was made the new king by the lord of Chu, but Nimi also called himself Kunmi, and the army went south, and Chigu City was in danger."
Ren Hong is a little sorry, his impression of his father-in-law is still good, although he looks dim on the outside, he is actually a little shrewd, and most importantly, he is not bad for relieving worries and children."
The good news is that the 80,000 horsemen of the Xiongnu Right Xian King and Xianxian Shan have evacuated Wusun and gone north to save the troops on the right!"
Xin Qingji was overjoyed: "This means that the area around Ileshui is almost empty, and we can appear directly behind the mud!"
”Yang Yun shook his head: "Even if we join with the Lord of Chu and Yuan Guimi, the number of people is only half of the mud, although the Wusun cavalry is inferior to the Huns, it is also more difficult to deal with than the Che Division." ”Ren Hong's head, they have gone through four battles, either unilateral slaughter, or cunning and victory, which is only equivalent to training, and then facing the mud, it is the first tough battle!
He already had a plan, and turned to the golden reward: "秺dúhou." ”"Next, I want to use Hugh Tu as a striker!"
In winter, the weather gets colder and colder, but fortunately Atami does not freeze all year round.The army of Nimi had entered the Atami Valley, and the troops he had brought with him from the Seven Rivers, plus the nobles who had surrendered one after another after the death of the Fat King, numbered 60,000 horsemen, three times the number of the Yuan Guimi's side.After the "King of Han" succeeded to the throne, he was busy transferring the old and weak women, children and livestock to the west of Atami, and only 20,000 young and strong people were able to fight.This number is dwindling day by day, as it is clear who is strong and who is weak, and there are people who are constantly secretly fleeing the camp to join the mud or leave Atami to get away from the civil war.At this juncture, Princess Xie Wu rejected the proposal of Chang Hui and others: evacuate Akaya City and take refuge in the safe west."
I said that Akiti Castle is the only home of the Han people in Wusun, so it should be guarded at the gate with a sword, so why should I abandon my home and flee?"
Chang Hui and Feng Fengshi's mission is to keep the safety of Princess Xie Wei as the first priority, and at this moment they persuaded her bitterly: "The enemy is strong and I am weak, we should follow the strategy of the fat king, temporarily retreat, and wait for the Han army reinforcements to arrive before killing back." ”Xie Wei shook his head: "Doctor Chang, you don't know the Wusun people. ”Xie Wei stood up and looked out from the window in Akiti Castle, and outside the city were the tents of Yuan Guimi and the right general's troops, making a lot of noise and never quiet.Those Wusun people are really a race that she loves and loaths.Love their straightforwardness and rudeness, oppress them to kill greedy wolves, and bully the weak."
If we give up Atami, how many of the 20,000 people outside will follow me?"
Chang Hui and Feng Fengshi looked at each other, and Feng Fengshi guessed: "Ten thousand?
”"No, three thousand at most, not even that."
Xie Wei told them the truth: "No Wusun people will follow a Kunmi who will make them lose their land and pastures, and in doing so, they are forcing the Wusun people to be loyal to Nimi. ”She sighed: "The biggest reason why my husband was assassinated and died was not that he was defeated by the Huns, but that he wanted to abandon Atami. ”"Now that the civil strife has just subsided, but there is still panic at the bottom, so I and Yuan Guimi must stay in Akatani, so that we can tell the Wusun people that Princess Han and Xin Kunmi will never give up Atami!""
Fleeing is self-defeating, or you can survive for a while, but the congregation betrays their relatives and leaves, and before they arrive in Dawan, there is no city to take refuge in, leaving the protection of Akiti City, Nimi only needs to send thousands of people to chase after us, and we will be humiliated again!"
Xie Wei was very aware of his situation, Chang Hui and Feng Fengshi also fell into a deep groan, and after half a ring, Chang Hui said: "According to the report from the scouts, the Xiongnu army has gone north to help, if we can rely on Chigu City and resist the mud of fifty or sixty thousand horsemen, we can still fight!"
”Feng Fengshi was worried: "Chigu City is small, and it can't fit more than 20,000 people. ”"That's why the inside and the outside have to be horns for each other."
Chang Hui proposed: "Ni Mi and the right general are riding out with 20,000 horsemen, while the Shache soldiers of the Prince of Wannian, the Han soldiers under me and Feng Duwei totaling nearly 500, plus the servants of the Lord of Chu are holding on in the city. ”These people really didn't play much role in the battle of tens of thousands of horsemen, but in Akatani City, they were able to contain a lot of the opponent's troops, so that Nimi could not attack Yuan Guimi with all his strength."
But if Nimi chooses to divide his troops, one will stop King Wusun and the right general, and the other will attack Chigu first, how about it?"
Feng Fengshi is not very confident in defending this wooden city, except for the Han soldiers under him and Chang Hui, Liu Wannian's 1,000 Shacha soldiers may not be reliable, and the hundreds of slaves who can't force them to solve their worries can fight with one enemy and five, this battle is difficult to fight.There is no shortage of food in Akaya Castle, and their biggest problem at the moment is still a lack of manpower.At this moment, Liu Wannian came panting to report the good news: "Mother, Mrs.
Feng is back!"
”When he climbed to the top of the castle, he could see that far to the east, on the vast flat land on the east shore of Atami, the muddy army was slowly advancing, and it was only more than ten miles away from Akaya Castle, and the dust raised by the march of fifty or sixty thousand war horses rose up, like a turbid sandstorm rushing towards the small town of Akaya.And looking at the southwest again, on the hill, a lone figure of Mrs.
Feng finally appeared.More than ten days ago, when Feng Yan said goodbye to relieve her worries, if she could mobilize Dawan Yucheng's mercenary "Fish Scale Army" to help, she would appear on the hill in a bright red dress, so that the Lord of Chu would know the good news as soon as possible.But he looked at it wide-eyed, but he was silent.Feng Yan was wearing a soap-colored dress, and she was alone, except for the princess's festival she held, only a few horsemen accompanied her.They didn't bring in the reinforcements that Akatani Castle was looking for.Liu Wannian already knew the result, and couldn't help but be indignant: "The Fish Scale Army broke its promise, they have received the favor of their mother, but they are unwilling to come to help as promised. ”Xie Wei only sighed: "After all, it is an outsider, and it sounds like a battle that will be lost, and it is common not to come." ”The weather is getting colder and colder, and the broad-leaved forests on the mountains around Akiti Castle have completely lost their leaves and are bare.Sure enough, I responded to the words of the ancients, the year was cold, and then I knew that the pine and cypress withered.Liu Wannian was disappointed and wanted to go to the city, but Xie Wei stopped him."
Wait.""
What are you waiting for?""
I know Feng Yan, she will never return empty-handed."
Mrs.
Feng had already descended the hill, but she did not move forward, but waited by the side of the road, until a flag showed its tip and appeared in the field of vision of everyone in Akatani, and everyone knew who she was waiting for.It was a soldier who was holding the flag on foot, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but from the direction he came from, and the red yellow banner color, "It's the Han army under the command of the Duhufu!"
”Feng Fengshi exclaimed in surprise.Groups of Han soldiers crossed the hill and marched towards Chigu Castle, numbering about 2,000 men, knights riding horses and marching with spears.This road is thousands of miles, desert and snow-capped mountains, half of the horses are dead, it is not easy to get here, but it can still maintain the appearance of the army.The banner is like a pine that is still abundant in winter, and the spear shaft is like a straight cypress tree around Akita Castle.Chang Hui breathed a long sigh of relief and counted the days: "Yiyang Hou Xin is like a tail of life, saying that he will arrive in Atami within two decades, not too much a day, not a lot a day!"
”In Akaya Castle, what I saw was the desperation of the muddy army and the black clouds crushing the city.On the other hand, there is the cheers of the arrival of reinforcements, and the banners and armor of the Han army are like dazzling and warm sunshine.No matter how cold the howling wind is, there is no longer any fear of relieving worries.The princess changed into a Han-style costume and asked all the Wusun nobles in the city to follow her to the city gate, lined up on the left and right.Liu Xie Wei pointed to the Han army of the Duhufu who was getting closer and closer, and introduced the nobles of Wusun who had doubts with a kind of pride and pride that she had never had the opportunity to show in the more than 20 years since she married to Wusun."
Look.""
My loved ones, come to help me!"
