"How is it going? How is the war going? How are our losses?"
In the middle of the night, Shi Kele, the chief of the Jie clan who vomited blood and fainted, finally woke up under the care of He Le. Looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, Shi Kele knew that his troops had not invaded Lishi City, so he only paid attention to it.
One's own battle losses.
"Well... because it's getting late, the tribes haven't sent the news yet, so we don't know the exact extent of the damage."
Looking at Shi Kele's somewhat pale face and old appearance, He Le really didn't dare to tell him what had happened.
However, compared to He Le, who is still young, Shi Kele has experienced too many ups and downs, so as soon as he saw He Le's expression and words, he already understood the final outcome of the matter. Although he felt a little sad
, but he still looked at Hele with a glimmer of hope, but the words in his mouth could not be said out, perhaps because he was afraid of hearing worse news.
"However, approximately 2,000 of our royal troops have returned to the embrace of the Great White Tiger. There are also less than 2,000 ordinary tribesmen who have not been able to come back, mainly because many tribesmen are trapped on top of the city and cannot withdraw.
.”
He Le knew very well what Shi Kele wanted to hear now, because the loss was still bearable, so he was not too uneasy when he said it. Instead, he felt a little lucky. If the order to retreat had not been issued in time, I am afraid that the Jie clan would have become a
The food of other ethnic groups on the grassland is not the large tribe that still has the strength to join the Xianbei people and become a political force.
"Yeah, that's not so bad. Hele, go and inform the leaders of each tribe to come for a meeting tomorrow morning and report the losses of each tribe to me. Also, call Ketuo over when you leave.
Say a few words to him."
He Le was still too young after all. Although he concealed it well, the joy between his eyebrows was still noticed by Shi Kele. However, Shi Kele was still willing to tolerate young people. After all, he thought that he might not be as smart as He Le in front of him.
, more often than not, he is more willing to use his outstanding martial arts to solve all the troubles he encounters.
However, can such a loss really be covered up by just saying "not bad"? Looking at He Le's leaving figure, Shi Kele's eyes were full of helplessness and unwillingness, as well as more deep feelings hidden behind the above-mentioned feelings.
Blame yourself.
Yes, because of his own fault, Shi Le, who once fought alongside him, finally had no choice but to plot a rebellion. Although he still has no regrets about those things he did back then, his best friend in his youth has now parted ways, and his work has been divided.
Feiping finally reached the point where it is today. The world worked hard for it.
Dou Yisheng's tribe was destroyed, his own tribe was also severely weakened, and the combat effectiveness of the entire Jie tribe reached an all-time low. What's more, because of the heavy snow in winter, many livestock of each tribe froze to death, although many people died.
The corresponding consumption of food is less, but can the Jie tribe be able to defend it against other grassland ethnic groups next year?
Maybe Hele has already considered this issue, otherwise he would not be able to laugh in the face of such a loss. Maybe he has thought of some good backer. Doesn’t he understand? Rely on the strong rather than on equals.
Relationships are such a dangerous thing - if you are too strong, the other party will feel uneasy and will definitely weaken your strength; if you are too weak, will it be in vain that our ancestors have suffered from the Huns for so many years?
Well, who would consider leaving the wings of a strong man?
Speaking of which, Hele is really a promising child. He is smart and clever. Although he has learned a lot of knowledge, he is not as pedantic as the Han people. He can also be ruthless at critical moments. Unfortunately, he is too young. If God can allow
It would have been great if I had gotten him ten years earlier. Maybe then my stone tower would have allowed me to enjoy a rare moment of leisure.
Speaking of Shita, I don’t know what happened to his son and my grandson Xiao Shituole. I don’t know if he can adapt to being left at home for the first time. His mother is a good woman, but his mother’s tribe is not strong enough.
Is it time to...
Shi Kele was just thinking wildly, thinking about the scenes that had happened yesterday and today and the tomorrow that never happened or could not happen at all. It wasn't until he heard a low, familiar call that he vaguely remembered that now was not
When publishing a memoir, the most important thing now is to overcome the difficulties that have occurred and may occur.
"Keto, you are here. How is the situation outside? How is everyone's morale? Is anyone doing anything strange?"
Shi Kele's three questions as soon as he came up made Ketuo, who was full of guilt as soon as he came in, a little stunned. He originally came in to accept punishment, but after all, he turned an orderly retreat into a rout. He Ketuo really
It's hard to blame him. But what he didn't expect was that Shi Kele did not hold him accountable. Instead, he asked about the situation of each tribe, with a somewhat anxious expression on his face.
Doesn’t the chief want to hold me accountable? Although Ketuo is willing to take responsibility, but he is not a slut and it’s better not to be punished. Or maybe...the chief doesn’t know what happened during the retreat?
"Okay, answer my question. As for other things, we have plenty of time to discuss them later. Tell me the answer to the question I want to know, instead of dwelling on the right or wrong of what has happened. This will determine whether we can see the grassland tomorrow.
's sunrise.”
Seeing that Ketuo did not answer his question immediately, but hesitated for a while, Shi Kele could only comfort him with words. After all, Ketuo was more aware of the consequences of such a loss than the young and ignorant Hele, and at the same time, he was more aware of the consequences of such a loss.
He knows clearly what kind of responsibilities he will bear in the future, so his current behavior is completely opposite to He Le.
"The situation outside is very bad. The losses of each tribe are not small. Everyone's morale is a bit low. However, because our Royal Court troops still have more than 5,000 people, other tribes do not dare to act recklessly. The only thing that needs attention is
It seems that Shi Le and his tribe took advantage of the chaos to escape. I am sending people around to find out about them, and there should be results tomorrow."
"Forget it, after all, Shi Le is so sophisticated and was one of the best hunters in our Jie clan back then. If he really plans to escape, our little guys will never be able to find any clues. In this way, you can send someone back to confirm.
If there is no news of the appearance of Shi Le or his subordinates about the movements of Shi Le's tribe, then you can report back to me."
Hearing that his old friend and rival Shi Le had fled, Shi Kele instinctively felt a hint of danger. However, considering that the other party was a little older than himself, it was hard to say how long he could survive after this incident.
Moreover, almost all of his tribe was destroyed in this siege, and the remaining ones would be completely eaten by the Huns. Even if he had any ideas, he would not be able to cause a big disturbance. In the end, Shi Kele decided to
Keep this matter on a lower level of concern.
"Ketuo, you will go out and take away the Royal Court troops quietly later, and then bring them back tomorrow morning. Remember, you must let the guys on the opposite city wall see it, and let the Royal Court troops stay there tomorrow
Enter the new tent, but don’t take down the tent that is erected now, to make it look like we have new reinforcements arriving. I plan to learn the tactics of the Han people."
"Yes." As long as he doesn't punish himself, Ketuo feels that everything will be fine. As for strategies and other things, Ketuo has always admired the wisdom of the great chief. Although he learned the idea from the Han people, but think about his own experience over the years.
The tribes plundered the population from the Han people, especially the changes brought by the craftsmen to the ethnic groups. It might be a good thing to learn something.
Compared with Shi Kele racking his brains and thinking about how to protect the Jie clan's bloodline from being cut off, Li Shicheng was filled with joy, and its level of excitement was no less than that of the Winter Festival. Li Shushi believed that if there were not other people outside the city,
If tens of thousands of enemies peeked at the enemy, especially the injured beast, it would become even crazier as the saying goes, I'm afraid there would have been an uproar in Lishi City.
Although the final count of the dead still exceeded 6,000, they still won after all, and they also defeated the northern barbarians whom the Han people talked about since childhood. This was difficult to conceal for the soldiers of Xihe County, who mostly came from the Central Plains.
Perhaps they can brag to their grandchildren in their old age about what heroes they were back then, beat the crap out of a bunch of big demons and little demons who planned to come to Lishi City to eat people, and then make their grandchildren happy.
Laughter and a feeling of happiness.
Although drinking was not allowed during the war, Li Shushi ordered the slaughter of sheep and pigs to reward the entire army. Looking at the smoke rising from Lishi City, Li Shushi believed that the Jie people on the opposite side would be very depressed. Of course, if he knew that Shi Kele had once said "in
Lishi
If "roasted mutton in the city" inspired the Jie soldiers to move forward bravely, he would probably be in a happier mood now. Because the people eating roast lamb in Lishi City tonight were Han soldiers who had just come off the battlefield, so those Jie soldiers would be in a happy mood.
Go ahead and be depressed.
"How are you doing, my lord? Are you getting used to it?" Gao Shun heard about Li Shushi being frightened and distracted on the battlefield, so he came over to ask questions cordially. But what he didn't know was that Li Shushi was feeling in his heart at this time.
The guy who told the whistle had been cut in half, quartered with five horses, stabbed three times with six holes, dismembered into eight pieces, and executed in Lingchi. It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing!!
"How can I put it, I feel pretty good now. Although I was a little uncomfortable seeing such ferocious enemies at first, I got over it quickly because of the help. Then it was smooth sailing. The battlefield is indeed a good place to hone one's skills.
.”
Li Shushi really didn't make this up at all. When the Jie people charged on the first day, it might have been because they retreated too quickly and were too far away, so Li Shushi didn't feel anything except excitement. But the second time
He was really a little scared, looking at the faces full of blood leaning towards him
As he approached, he felt guilty. Of course, the dense crowd also aggravated this guilty feeling. After all, if the number of people is small, a few strong generals can protect themselves, but in such a large-scale battlefield, too many termites will be a big problem.
The elephant would tremble three times, let alone the existence of such an "artifact" as Chuan.
"Well, my lord is telling the truth. It would be weird if he wasn't afraid. The previous battle was a bit too easy after all. To put it bluntly, it was like a child's play. I don't know how to get rid of this feeling later?
"
"I really have to thank Tamago-chan for this~ At that time, an arrow suddenly shot at me. I felt very sluggish and thought I was going to die, but Tamago-chan knocked the arrow away from behind, and then...then...I woke up.
.”
This is a little secret between an otaku and a cute lolita, and they won't tell it to an uncle like Gao Shun whose ultimate goal is to be a magician.
Gao Shun laughed loudly after hearing this, which made Li Shushi's face, which was originally flushed by the firelight, turn even redder.
"Zian, have the results been counted? Are the sentries arranged? We must be careful to prevent the Jie people from stealing the city."
Seeing the teasing expression on Gao Shun's cold face, Li Shushi was really embarrassed. It turns out that an honest man like Gao Shun would also make such an expression. Sure enough, all men who aspire to become magicians are boring.
.However, form is stronger than people, so Li Shushi can only resort to changing the topic**.
"Don't worry, I, Gao Zian, am not a child. All these things have been arranged. My lord, I just want to rest in peace."
During the long night, the cold wind continued to show its power, but today, in Lishi City, the icy cold wind was destined to be no match for the fire-like enthusiasm of the people.
