Chapter 798: The rookie group is destroyed (the lion and leopard are coming)
(The date in the previous chapter was wrong. Guo Guangyi besieged Hu Shuicheng on July 25th, not September 25th.)
The battle at Chishan Uzonga is over. How can hundreds of thousands of Ogus herdsmen who are being chased with no way to go to the sky or to the ground defeat Bai Congxin's 40,000 fine cavalry?
Not to mention the equipment gap between the two sides, these prairie cavalry, who have been brainwashed for several years and trained by a large number of rewards and a military-like merit system, really look forward to death when they fight.
The ninth surname Ogus Dayinale led a thousand personal guards armed with spears in formation on the mountain, and there were thousands of archers behind to cover them.
As a result, a hundred warriors from thousands of households in Xijias directly wore two layers of armor and rushed in desperately. Within a quarter of an hour, Dayinale's head was cut off and presented to Bai Congxin.
Bai Congxin deliberately did not restrain military discipline. He needed such a primitive cruelty full of animal nature to calm the irritability of his terrifying erect apes accumulated during the more than two thousand miles of march.
Another purpose is to set a standard for today's battle.
If the Ogus people of the ninth surname were unwilling to surrender this time, he would never have issued such a cruel military order, but who dared them to say that Tengger would not transform into the Supreme Heaven?
The former is a matter of interests, while the latter is a matter of principle, and heavy blows must be struck.
"Let the sons be free for two days. After two days, two thousand people will be left to guard. The rest must arrive at Talas within ten days!"
Bai Congxin sternly issued the order. This place is still 700 miles away from Talas. He can travel more than 70 miles in one day, which is not too little, but not too much.
Naturally, this was the reason why Bai Congxin wanted to kill almost all of the nearly 40,000 adult men among the nine Ogus people.
The army is about to attack Guo Guangyi of Talos, how can he leave tens of thousands of men behind him!
....
At Sanshankou, Huguang was munching the leg of lamb leisurely. The rest of the soldiers, except those on guard duty, also took the time to eat, drink, rest or organize their armor and weapons. Even Chi Tian of the Gray Wolf Division was like this.
Everyone knew in their hearts, regardless of whether it was dangerous for them to rescue them like this, Suiye had such a big rebellion, and those who were truly determined to treat themselves as Tang'er had been rescued. Those in the distance who didn't want to be Hu people,
But if you don’t want to resist, whether you can be saved or not depends entirely on your mood.
Moreover, everyone knows very well that if these people are saved, how will His Majesty explain it? After doing such a thing, do you still want to escape unscathed?
As a result, everyone was enjoying the last peace before the war with peace of mind.
"Dong Dong! Dong Dong!" The sound of the war drums seemed louder and softer, but the shouting and neighing of the crowd of people became more and more obvious. In the end, the shouts of killing in the distance were so loud that the sound of the war drums was suppressed.
Guo Guangyi began to urge the army to attack Hu Shuicheng again.
Guo Tianfang was squatting next to Hu Guang. He hated the people in Hu Shuicheng. If it weren't for their retreat, Guo Guangyi would not have launched a mutiny so easily at the funeral of his grandfather Guo Xuancheng.
His father, uncle and two uncles were all killed in this mutiny. After escaping to the Gray Wolf tribe, they also took the lives of his ninth uncle Guo Xuanchao and Chitian's father.
"How many days has it been?" Hu Guangzai asked slowly after carefully chewing the honey-roasted lamb leg in his hand.
Guo Tianfang quickly replied: "Tiger, it's been ten days!"
"Hey!" Hu Guang grabbed a handful of sand and wiped the grease under his hands, then raised his head in surprise.
"They are really tenacious! Among the 40,000 of them, there are only a few thousand strong, and so many people are crowded in the city with little food and drink. They can withstand Guang Guangyi's ten-day fierce attack of 50,000 people. It's interesting."
Hearing this, Li Jixie snorted disdainfully, "They are all cheap guys. They fought so hard in Suiyeken back then. Even if they couldn't hold the city, they could at least keep Uncle Guo Jiu from escaping to Khotan. There's no point in risking his life now!"
"
Hu Guang wiped his hands clean. Well, this level of cleanliness was of course his personal standard.
Seeing Li Jixie holding a bowl of honey japonica rice, Hu Guang took it away without any politeness and said, "Go and ask the doctor, how many people are left in the city?"
Li Jizai gave Hu Guang a resentful look and ran away angrily.
Yao Yuanfu ordered people to build three watchtowers on the mountain near Hu Shuicheng, so that soldiers with good eyesight could monitor them continuously.
Before Li Jixie reached the watchtower, he saw Yao Yuanfu's general riding his horse towards the camp. When he saw Li Jixie, he immediately shouted, "Go and report to the general manager quickly. Hu Shuicheng suffered heavy casualties. We must not hold on."
Already."
....
In fact, Hu Shuicheng can still hold on for a while, but it will be quite miserable.
One of Luo Dingzhong's hands drooped unnaturally, but fortunately it was not a fracture but a dislocation, and doctors soon helped him set his bones.
Puguquan was leaning among a pile of dead bodies, his face was pale, and he was looking at the sky with his eyes wide open. Several flies were crawling around his face, but he was not seen moving. He had obviously been dead for a long time.
Guo Guangbi was working hard to repair his flattened iron armor, and his legs were blood red.
Before this, he tried to lift his leg several times, but his right leg seemed to have lost all feeling, and only his left leg still felt bursts of pain.
Hu Shuicheng is not big, and can only accommodate a few thousand people on weekdays. Now 40,000 people have squeezed in. Since three days ago, except for Ding Zhuang who fought on the city wall, the rest of the people can only eat one wild vegetable cake a day.
, as for water, they can only drink the urine of warriors.
As for the urine, not much was distributed, because the men on the city wall were rationed drinking water, and they sweated a lot from the fierce fighting, so there was not much urine at all.
Although the mercenaries under Guo Guangyi retreated like a tide, no one cheered at the top of Hushui City because the wall on the left section had been hit with a huge gap.
Luo Dingzhong had rushed to block the gap just now, and his hand was dislocated during the fight. Now, it is very likely that if people outside the city rush again, they will not be able to hold on.
"That's enough, that should be enough. If you don't come, we will all die!" A young man beside Luo Dingzhong murmured.
There are more than 6,000 men in Hu Shui City. I don’t know if there are still 3,000 left. The battle loss rate has far exceeded half.
A painful smile appeared on Luo Dingzhong's lips. He knew that Manager Tiger would be here soon.
Because not only did they pay the price, but after these ten days of bloody battles, they who could only be regarded as armed herdsmen and auxiliary soldiers have been tempered in this cruel fighting. In the future, as long as they train the military formation tactics, they will be able to
He is an elite warrior.
Judging from Manager Hu's restless attitude, the Saint's goal is not simply to quell Guo Guangyi's rebellion, nor is it just because of Guo Tinger's incident. Everything the Saint does should be aimed at Saman Persia.
This is a powerful and powerful country that occupies half of Hezhong and half of Persia. If you compare it, you will know that the Jin Kingdom of Khotan is known as the Sheng Kingdom of Anxi, with a population of less than 900,000, plus more than 600,000 in Beiting.
The total number is only 1.5 million.
As for Saman Persia, which has a total of four million people, unless it is completely defeated and dismembered, the idea of occupying the river, the Xia king and the barbarians are all empty talk.
However, the Saman Persians have never entered the scope of Chinese civilization. Not only are their races different from China, but their languages, customs, and beliefs are completely different.
It is not difficult to defeat such a big country, but it is quite difficult to rule it, unless the court maintains a garrison of eight to one hundred thousand troops in Samandria for a long time.
But the price was too high. All the benefits gained from Samampos would probably be used to feed the 100,000 garrison, and the court would not get much. This model was destined to be impossible to maintain for long.
Is there any way to save money and effort?
have!
Luo Dingzhong slowly knelt down toward the east. The way to save money and effort was to use leaf-breaking people like them.
They say it is Tang'er, but they are more familiar with the river. What do the people of Saman Persia think, need, and fear, and how to make them more obedient?
Even how to introduce the Six Methods Sect into the land of Saman Persia to replace the Tianfang Sect, no one knows better than Tang'er, who has lived in Suiye for hundreds of years.
With the help of local people like them, it will be possible to basically Chineseize Hezhong in 20 to 30 years.
Saints are holy kings and wise masters, and they will definitely understand their value.
"Raise the silver and white flag, pull everyone to the top of the city to plead, tell Manager Tiger that we know we are wrong, and ask him to send troops from heaven to save us!"
Luo Dingzhong shouted loudly. At this time, it was better to continue to resist than to plead.
Guo Guangbi gritted his teeth, moved his broken leg with difficulty, and took out the silver-white gold sun and moon flag that he had always treasured from a wooden box not far away.
This was originally made by Guo Xuancheng when he was still alive. Although the sixth uncle of the Guo family also listened to the tune in Suiye but not the propaganda, his purpose was fundamentally different from Guo Guangyi.
Guo Xuancheng just wanted to pass on his position under his butt to his children and grandchildren, so that the Guo family could be the prince of Suiye County and the vassal of the imperial court for generations to come. He still valued the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty very much.
A silver-white gold sun and moon flag was raised at the head of Hushui City. The old, weak, women and children covered the city wall, and countless people kowtowed toward the east like a rising tide.
"Saint, we were wrong, please show mercy!"
"We are waiting for death, so why should women and children deserve it? Please have mercy on us, the saint."
"Please come quickly, heavenly soldiers! Come quickly!"
Guo Guangbi put his hands on the ground and crawled to Luo Dingzhong's side. He looked up at him with great effort, "In the past in Suiye, there were 40,000 of us with six surnames, led by you, Pu Guquan and a certain family.
When the Guo thieves entered Broken Leaf, Ruluo Dingzhong was the one who wanted to resist the most, but was stopped by X and Puguquan. So if you survive today, X and Puguquan will undoubtedly die.
Today, all of my servants have been killed in battle, and a certain person’s legs are disabled, and there is no point in living. Why not leave some legacy to us people, Luo Erlang, the wife, children, and children of a certain family, I leave it to you."
Luo Dingzhong let out a long sigh. If he had known this, why would he have done so in the first place?
"Brother Huai is smart and smart, and I like him the most. He and my second mother grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. Let Brother Huai be my son-in-law in the future.
If the saint is merciful and allows us to perform meritorious service for our sins, I heard that there are two official titles: pacifier envoy and pacifier envoy below the level of the outer vassal Duke and Hou Bo.
Among them, the Zhenfu envoy governs a small town with a thousand people and governs 10,000 people. As long as Luo Dingzhong is still alive, he will definitely earn a hereditary Zhenfu envoy for Brother Huai."
When Guo Guangbi heard what Luo Dingzhong said, a smile appeared on his face. He leaned against the city wall and gave Luo Dingzhong a salute, saying, "Your great kindness, my servant Guo Guangbi, will be repaid with a ring of grass in the next life."
After following Guo Guangbi, he shouted loudly, pressed his hands on the city wall, stood up, and shouted to the east: "The sinner Guo Guangbi is unforgivable, and his death is not a pity. I hope that for the sake of his past love, Mr. Hu will give him to this Hushui city."
Tens of thousands of people have a way to survive!”
After saying that, without any hesitation, he held up his hands and jumped down from the city wall.
