Chapter 7 The Golden Age (Part 8) "Woo-wu-wu-wu!" The sound of the trumpet continued continuously. Ashina Jishi was stationed on a hill a hundred steps away from the Great Wall, with his ears erect and his eyes
faintly burning green flame
The sound of horns coming from the distance was too familiar. It was the military music that the Central Plains people would blow when they charged against the enemy. But at this moment, when his wolf cavalry was supposed to be charging towards the top of the Great Wall, just before the sound of horns sounded,
With many years of military experience, he has determined that the defenders are on the verge of collapse.
But those annoying guys who should have been defeated are still standing on the city wall, and they would rather die together with the rushing wolf knights than take a half step back. In the time of flexing his fingers, Ashina Dojishi saw at least three Turkic warriors being killed.
The "desperados" guarding the gate jumped off the city wall with their arms. The tall city wall and the rugged rocks would most likely shatter the bones of those who fell. On top of Xiongguan, there were more guardians of the Great Wall jumping from the crenellations.
Then he stood up and opened his "enthusiastic" arms to the wolf riders.
In Ashina's memory, the people of the Central Plains have never been so brave. Although his fathers have been kneeling under the knees of the Sui Dynasty all their lives, their fathers lost to the Sui people's conspiracy, not to the Sui people.
In terms of force, since Ashina Dojishi took over the throne, he has been approaching, narrowing, clashing, and harassing. Through repeated trials, repeated deliberate provocations, and open fire robberies, he has basically explored the Central Plains.
The original appearance of human beings is a group of very weak people, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, brave in internal fighting but timid in public war. Heroes show their teeth and claws at their own people. When they meet the prairie warriors, they are immediately docile and want to offer their wives and children to celebrate.
But today, Ashina Dojishi had to admit that he saw a group of Central Plains people who were different from before. They were brave, united, and fearless. Compared with the tribal warriors who were almost crazy and brave, the Central Plains people's character was like this
The Great Wall in the moonlit night is calm, rational and strong
The grasslands have been hit by disasters for many years. If many warriors who followed the Ashina family to the south could not rob food and property in the battle, they would not be able to escape the fate of starving to death even if they returned to the grasslands. Therefore, the warriors regarded death in battle as relief and guarded the Great Wall.
The Central Plains people on the mountain clearly had a way to retreat, and they could escape from Changshengtian by turning around, but they calmly chose to fight, as if it was the honor and duty given to them by Changshengtian.
"What if all the Central Plains people are like this? Even if I capture Chang'an, how many people will be left around me?" Ashina Dujishi looked at the loyal guards around him and couldn't help but doubt whether his decision to go south was right.
The Sui Dynasty was about to fall. Before the expedition, he inquired about the situation in the Central Plains very clearly. If the Ashina family encountered the same crisis, it could be said that the Turkic country would not be able to fight back in the face of foreign enemies. However, the response of the Central Plains people was far beyond
It is common sense that the guardians of the Great Wall know that they no longer have an emperor behind them, and that no matter how much contribution they make today, they may not be rewarded. They are still fighting, as if they were born to fight, and guarding the Great Wall is their survival.
full meaning
More than half of their casualties have been
There are no reinforcements behind them
They no longer even have their own country. The newly established court may not remember their names and will not repay them for everything they have given today.
But their figures still stand on the Great Wall, strong and unyielding
The wind picked up and the whistling sound gradually covered up the horn drum in the distance, causing the woolen blanket beside Ashina Dojishi to shake. Several strong guards quickly ran forward and stretched out their hands to hold the hardwood flagpole in place.
Several good-looking female slaves ran closer holding a white fur coat and raised their hands in front of Ashina Dojishi's eyes.
"Great Khan, please change your clothes!" Shibi Khan's two younger brothers, Ashina Tlifu and Ashina Mohedu, rode up the hillside one after another, scrambling to express their concern to the Great Khan.
After suffering from the wind and cold in the First World War, Ashina Dojishi's body became increasingly fragile. He would cough for several days at the slightest change in cold or heat. During this southern expedition, the nobles of the Turkic Royal Court originally did not agree that it must be carried out from the beginning.
Khan personally commanded, but under the pressure of Ashina Gutuoru, another tiger of the Ashina family, Shibi could only grit his teeth and persist (Note 2). The grasslands only respect the strong, and the strong must maintain their strength at all times.
If Feng Fan lets Gu Tolu see that Shibi's body is already like a candle in the wind, I'm afraid the tigers of the Ashina family will have to fight in their dens before they can conquer the Central Plains.
As for the two tigers in front of him, they were just waiting patiently. Shibi Khan smiled, picked up the fur from the slave girl's hand with a machete, and put it neatly on top of the armor. Likewise, he could not let Ashi
When Lifu and Ashina Mohedu saw the true condition of their bodies, their son Ashina Shibobi was still young, lacked prestige and means, and was unable to support the entire country on his own.
"The two of us are here to keep an eye on you. Don't worry, Dahan, go back to camp and rest!" Ashina Tilifu and Ashina Mohedu seemed to be unaware of Shi Bi's precautions against them. They looked at each other.
Then he sincerely continued to advise: "The wind is strong in the mountains, and the bloody smell on the battlefield is heavy. If you catch a cold, whose orders should these hundreds of thousands of brothers listen to? Don't worry, we will definitely take down this wall tonight. Tomorrow
Early in the morning, your woolen blanket will be inserted at the highest point of the Great Wall!"
"Really?" Shi Bi grinned, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth, white fur, and a white horse. Coupled with his pale face and flashing white teeth, he gave the impression of a lonely wolf.
They were gazing at their prey on the top of the mountain. "Really, we can guarantee it!" Ashina Shilifu and Ashina Mohedu instinctively led their horses backwards and hesitantly agreed.
"What guarantee do you two have? How many defenders are there on the Great Wall? Are the reinforcements coming? What military exploits did the leader of the reinforcements, Li Shimin, have, and what are his military habits and methods? Do you two know this?" Shibi Khan
Keep smiling, like a kind brother teaching two young and ignorant brothers. In fact, the three of them are indeed biological brothers, they just dream about each other and make each other die early.
"This -!" Ashina Chilifu and Ashina Mohedu were speechless and cursed in their hearts: In fact, you don't know, why are you pretending to be smart! But there was a respectful expression on your face, as if you had already
Understand my mistake
"Send two hundred more scouts to search our flanks and behind us carefully!" Shibi still had a smile on his face, but his brows were furrowed. "Go immediately, don't waste time here!"
"It's the order of the Great Khan!" Ashina Mohe shook the reins and ran down the hillside without looking back. His good intentions were ruined. Others were willing to endure this grievance, but he was not willing to endure it anymore with the Great Wall blocking it.
, Li Shimin couldn't run to the flanks or behind everyone, but he had to take advantage of the opportunity to hide away, so as not to look at his condescending face.
Ashina Tilifu is slightly older than Ashina Mohedu, and he is more calm. Even though he knows that Shi Bi is deliberately trying to find trouble with himself and his brother, he still urges Shi Bi to take care of his health with a stern look on his face.
The army has reached its end. I will supervise the battle tonight and tomorrow morning, the Great Khan will seize the wall with his own hands." He bowed half of his body humbly, so that Shi Bi could see the loyalty on his face clearly. "I promise, be more careful everywhere.
Whenever Li Shimin comes, I won’t let him get any benefits!”
Shi Bi slowly put away his smile, and the expression on his face looked particularly lonely, "Zi Lifu, are you so anxious to take command for me?" he asked, and then he broke out into a violent cough.
"The Great Khan Mingcha!" Zhilifu jumped off the horse and supported Shi Bi's shaky body. Several guards quickly surrounded the mount and lifted their master off the horse with all their hands and feet. The Turkic Great Khan Shi Bi covered his head.
In his own mouth, the coughs became more intense each time, as if he wanted to cough out all the internal organs from his throat.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" "Cough, cough, cough, cough!" "Cough, cough!" "Water, water! Give me water!"
Everyone around was panicked and quickly took out the cowhide water bag that had been warmed by the slave girl's body. Shibi drank it like a camel in the desert. While drinking, Ashina continued to cough.
He was sweating all over. He hit Shi Bi on the back hard and kept talking to explain what he had just done.
"I am, I am worried about Dahan's body! Dahan should understand my good intentions."
No one paid attention to his words. In the eyes of the advisers and generals around Shibi, he only saw cold flames. The hair on Ashina Lifu's body stood up. He took a few steps back and put his hands on his waist.
On the hilt of the sword, "Great Khan, brother, if you are worried, I swear to God, I can attack the city myself!"
After that, without waiting for Bing's reply, he pulled out his scimitar, jumped on the horse again, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and wanted to rush down the mountain and die with the defenders.
If he died in the hands of the enemy, his wife, children, and children would be properly taken care of. If Shibi, who was dying, was killed as an obstacle to Ashina Shibobi's succession to the throne, his wife, children, and children, although they were also members of the Ashina family, would still be killed.
There is no family affection between the descendants of wolves who are bleeding all over the house. No matter what ethnic group, there is no family affection between the rich and the rich. Look, the two great Sui soldiers and horses in front of you don't help each other. Although they are both from the Central Plains, aren't they?
Descendants of the wolf!
"Okay! I didn't say I didn't believe you!" At the critical moment, Shibi finally stopped coughing and gasped.
Ashina, who was granted amnesty, wiped the sweat or tears from his face, and slowly tightened the reins of his war horse. The mount, which was about to accelerate, was made anxious by his inconsistent gestures, and kicked its hooves wildly.
Grass blades and dirt are flying everywhere
He walked between life and death once but didn't know that Shibi Khan was also wandering between life and death just now. Looking at the blood clots coughed up from the palm of his hand, Shibi knew that he didn't have much time left to live. Dongfang Gutuolu was the head
Wolf, the two younger brothers are also alpha wolves. If Gutuolu leads troops to fight for the throne, will Xiao Shibobi have reinforcements?
On the Great Wall, the desolate and powerful sound of the trumpet once again burned Shibi's heart. He gasped loudly for a while. However, Shibi Khan, who had walked between life and death, finally made the most important decision in his life.
Seeing his helpless brother, he said quietly: "I want to finish today's battle myself. The coach of the Women's Army is a capable opponent! Such an opponent is not easy to find in this life!"
"The Great Khan has defeated the soldiers in her city, but they are just struggling to the death!" Zilifu jumped off the horse, stood back to Shibi obediently, and complimented in a low voice.
"She didn't lose in my hands." Shibi shook his head gently, "But being able to destroy her is also a blessing given to the Turks by God."
"The God of Immortality bless the Turks!" Although he didn't understand what his brother was saying, Ashina Tilifu still echoed loudly.
"So, when I am alive, I will never let anyone hurt you!" Shibi didn't know where he came to such a conclusion. Hearing this, Ashina Lifu was moved and confused at the same time.
It's not enough to be moved. People in the Ashina family have their own fixed ways of doing things. Looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops at the foot of the mountain, Ashina Lifu resolutely raised his hands and swore: "Brother, as long as I can still breathe in this life, I will do anything."
Never let anyone harm Shibobi!"
"Well, then I can rest assured that if our Turkic men don't raise their swords to each other, they will not be conquered by others." Shibi nodded with a smile, as if he had settled a very important matter, and pointed to the still burning city wall.
He added faintly, "Actually, it's the same in the Central Plains. Everyone understands this, but how many people can do it?!"
Ashina Tlifu didn't know how to respond, so he had to remain silent. Shibi Khan looked around and ordered several generals under his command: "Tell the brothers not to rush to break the city and turn it into a feint attack.
If the battle is delayed until dawn and you do not participate in the siege, please arrange your armor and weapons on the spot and do not disrupt the formation!"
"This? Yes!" The generals could not understand his order, but they agreed and walked away quickly. Shibi Khan threw away the empty water bag, stepped on the back of the slave girl, remounted his horse, and looked up again.
With the Great Wall burning in blood and fire, he suddenly turned the topic to the eastern battlefield, "Is there a letter from Gutuolu? Has he already entered Zhuojun?"
"No," Ashina Mohedu thought for a while and responded loudly, "But I heard that the thirteen tribes of the Xi clan rebelled and no longer obeyed the orders of Gu Tuolu and Su Chuifu but elected Li Xu as their leader.
The big Aijin returned to Crescent Lake together!"
The three brothers all regard Ashina Gutuoru, who is separated from the eastern grassland, as a common target of protection. Therefore, whenever there is unpleasantness between the three brothers, mentioning Gutuolu's bad luck can make each other feel better.
The relationship between the two has eased a lot this time, and Gutuolu's effect has obviously begun to work again. Shibi's face immediately warmed up, and he said with a smile, "I also heard about this! That attachment is indeed well-deserved!"
"I also heard that a guy named Wang Xuba went against Gutuolu's path and attacked the grassland. He burned many tribes along the way, causing the tribesmen under Gutuolu to clamor to return as soon as possible every day.
Home!" It was rare to see his eldest brother happy, Ashinalifu quickly continued to shake off Gutuolu's shortcomings, and danced happily while talking.
"This is a powerful method! When Gutuoru meets Fu Li, he also meets his opponent!" Shibi smiled again, as if Gutuoru and himself did not have the same surname at all.
"His Keton is said to be the bones that Li Xu had thrown away before and picked up other people's leftover saddles, but he kept them in his mouth all day long for fear of melting away." Ashina became more and more happy as Liver talked about it.
Privacy is also brought out
This time, he flattered the horse's legs again. Shibi Khan raised his eyes, and the smile immediately disappeared from his face, "We Turks, don't learn the bad habits of the Han people! Women should find a strong man to rely on.
What's wrong? Only the strongest wolves will have female wolves howling around them. As long as they can give birth to cubs for you, why does it matter who she belonged to before?"
"Well, well, the Great Khan is right!" Ashina waited until Liver was gasping for air and muttered, promising that the Ashina family would marry with the Central Plains for generations. Many of their habits have long been similar to those of the Central Plains nobles, although they did not care about robbing.
Other people's women and property, but the one with the highest status in the family, Ke Dun, must keep it intact before marrying him.
"The reason why we Turks have suffered so many times is because we have learned too many bad habits from the Han people!" Shibi knew that his younger brother was dissatisfied, so he shook his head and taught him sincerely, "If you don't understand this, how can I trust you in the future?"
here you are!"
"Brother, what are you talking about?" The sudden happiness made Ashina Liver dizzy. He couldn't be sure whether Shi must be testing himself or whether he really meant to pass on his sweat to him. He was so frightened that he backed away and waved his hand.
While responding, "Brother, I will definitely try my best to help Shi Bo Bi! I will never let anyone hurt him!"
"Shi Bo Bi is too young!" Shi Bi sighed. Before tonight, he had always thought of passing the throne to his son instead of one of his two younger brothers. But the battle in front of him made him understand many things about sibling cannibalism.
