Yu Cheng stood on the street holding a big knife, with corpses piled up into a hill under his feet. Soldiers on the left and right held large shields. The city in front was engulfed in a sea of fire. The buildings in Zhenbei City were all wooden buildings, and wood could be transported from the vast grassland. All are already very good.
The wooden houses were burned one by one by the fire, blocking the enemy outside, and the inner city was still safe for the time being.
There is a river under the inner city wall, which is connected to the moat of the outer city. Unfortunately, the city wall is too short, and the three-meter wall cannot intercept the enemy. Otherwise, Yu Cheng would lead his soldiers back to the inner city wall.
There were roaring flames everywhere, and thick smoke was rising into the sky. People from the grasslands outside the city could see it, and naturally the army of Daqian could also see it. When they saw the thick smoke, the soldiers of Daqian seized their time, while the army of grassland people fought hard to resist. The Dagan people could no longer stop the army's attack.
With Zhenbei City in hand, these Daqian soldiers will naturally retreat. After this nail is pulled out, the prairie people can run freely on the grassland.
It can also be regarded as fulfilling the last wish of our ancestors and getting rid of Daqian!
Teemo is an eagle soaring in the sky and should not be restricted.
The grassland people who were resisting the large army in front did not see that the troops who were originally going to fight in the city were also involved in the war.
Tito looked at the sand table in the tent. On the sand table, Dagan's army and the prairie people's army were intertwined. Dagan's front troops had been blocked by them, but a large number of Dagan's troops emerged behind them.
There was only the last place left in Zhenbei City in the middle of the sand table, but it was this last place that prevented them from attacking.
"Patriarch, the frontline troops sent someone back to ask how long it will take to take Zhenbeicheng. The frontline troops are a little unable to withstand it. Daqian's Chinese army seems to be soldiers of the Great Wall Legion. Our Chinese army is close to being defeated!"
A messenger ran back to the big tent.
Tito did not answer. He was wondering how the Daqian Legion appeared behind their army in the sand table.
They sent a large number of scouts on the grassland, and Daqian's army was under their supervision. How did Daqian's army bypass their scouts and run to the rear of the army?
Thinking about kicking the Tito, I seemed to think of something, and looked at the scout commander beside me: "A few days ago, you said that a large number of herdsmen were approaching?"
The scout leader nodded: "Well, there are many, almost more than thirty tribes. This grassland is very fertile. Those people wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was still a lot of green grass here, so they drove a large number of cattle and sheep here.
My subordinates have visited the tribe before to investigate, and everything is fine!"
"Have you checked them one by one?" Tito asked.
The scout leader shook his head: "The military situation is urgent, and my subordinates have only visited five tribes. Everything is normal!"
Tito frowned. He had previously thought about whether the Dagan soldiers were pretending to be people from those tribes, but the five tribes were all normal, and the total number of people in these tribes was only 60,000 or 70,000. There were no Dagan soldiers behind him. quantity.
The scout leader continued: "These tribes have a lot of cattle and sheep. The large tribe has sixty or seventy thousand, and the small tribe has at least more than ten thousand. When grazing, there is a large group of brothers on one side. When they saw us passing by, they were very enthusiastic. Invite us to eat mutton.
If every tribe in our grassland is as wealthy as them, they can support countless tribesmen!"
Tito also felt that everything was normal. The messenger standing in the big tent heard the conversation between Tito and the scout commander, with dissatisfaction on his face. Their clan leader was fighting with the Dagan people on the front line, but Tito's clan leader was chatting leisurely. He Feel very dissatisfied.
He was smart enough not to say it. Patriarch Tito looked very gentle, but everyone in the grasslands knew what kind of existence this Tito was in front of them. He massacred and tortured, even children.
Treating his enemies, Chief Tito is like an evil spirit from hell. As long as he makes him feel uncomfortable, he will at least give him a severe beating. He doesn't care which tribe you belong to or who you represent.
Tito glanced at the messenger standing in the tent. The soldier was faster and the look of dissatisfaction disappeared from his eyes.
Tito said slowly: "Ask your family head to conserve your strength as much as possible, and if it doesn't work, retreat. We may not be able to capture Zhenbei City. A large army has already entered Zhenbei City with support. Let your family head not be surrounded by Daqian's army.
If you are surrounded, then don’t blame me, Tito, for ignoring the head of your family and letting him act as a rear guard!"
When Tito saw the troops coming from the rear of Dagan, he knew that this battle was not of much concern to the prairie people, but those Dagan people captured by them could still be used to arouse the anger of the Dagan people.
After receiving Tito's message, most of the messengers ran back to pass the news to the clan leader.
Tito said to the deputy general next to him: "How many Dagan people have we captured?"
The deputy general hesitated for a while and then said: "Chief, there are a total of 130,000 cadres, and some of them escaped from the cadres!"
Tito picked up the long sword on the side: "One hundred and thirty thousand is still a little less, but it is still enough. Retreat these people outside Zhenbei City!" Tito waved the long sword in his hand: "Have them all hacked to death!"
The deputy general opened his eyes wide: "Chief, these people can still be kept as slaves, just kill them..."
Tito turned around and looked at the deputy general. The long sword in his hand shone coldly. The deputy general felt his neck was a little cold: "I'll do it now!"
The deputy general quickly left the tent. The scout commander nearby looked at Tito with some admiration: "Chief, you have taken a step forward and killed these Dagan people, which will further arouse the hatred between the tribe and the Dagan side. It is impossible for both sides to be filled with hatred." Merge together again!”
"Hahahaha!" Tito laughed loudly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "It is to make it impossible for Dagan and the grassland to be together. There are still fewer Dagan people on the grassland. If there were more, One point, stack their heads to form a Jingguan, I believe those Dagan people’s faces will look very good!”
The scout leader also laughed: "There are still some people in the tribe who think of Da Gan well. If those people are here, you can ask them to take a look at the pile of corpses outside Zhenbei City. I believe that their Da Gan will be destroyed from now on!" "
....
Outside the west gate of Zhenbei City, Daqian's army fought with the grassland troops scattered around. A cavalry rushed into the city from the north city gate, and there were armies of grassland people at the other three city gates.
When Daqian's army rushed to the city, the grassland people knew that the victory was far away from them. The number of Daqian's troops coming was 200,000, plus the nearly 100,000 troops behind, the total force was about to reach three One hundred thousand.
They originally had an army of 300,000, but they lost more than 100,000 troops in the siege of Zhenbei City, and they no longer had the capital to fight Daqian's army head-on.
Originally, we wanted to occupy Zhenbei City, rely on the city walls and various city defense structures in Zhenbei City to fight against Daqian, and wait for the army from behind to come for support.
Now that Zhenbeicheng cannot be occupied, how can we fight against Daqian's army?
Tito's 20,000 men drove the 130,000 people who ran out of Zhenbei City to the west gate of Zhenbei City.
Because of the fierce fighting, corpses were everywhere at the West Gate. The corpses had not been collected for ten days. There were blood and smelly corpses everywhere.
Countless corpses were also piled up on the moat. These people who ran out ran out before the prairie people besieged the city. They thought that if they surrendered to the prairie people, they would not be killed by the prairie people.
These days they are the porters of the prairie people, repairing war machines and transporting food for the prairie people. They do everything they can.
The grassland people were not kind to them and did not send them to the battlefield. The grassland people knew who the guard general in the city was, Yu Cheng, an extremely indifferent general.
If these people are sent up, they will not get mercy from Yu Cheng, but will only massacre these people. In Yu Cheng's eyes, nothing is more important than defending the city.
Knowing Yu Cheng's character, Tito would naturally not let his free laborers die. If it weren't for these people, they wouldn't have so many siege ladders, and the army wouldn't be able to eat when they're hungry. There were some women for the soldiers to vent their anger on.
After being driven to the west of Zhenbei City, these people saw that the originally magnificent city wall was now in tatters, with corpses everywhere, and corpses floating in the crystal clear moat. The water in the river was red, and that was blood.
Their hands and feet were tied up with ropes. The prairie people gave them ropes and asked them to tie themselves up. There were one thousand people in a team. When they came to the west gate, many people felt something was wrong. There was thick smoke in the city, and they could pass through. The soldiers at the city gate are not machines, they are coming out, and the soldiers in the city are exiting!
These prairie people who came out did not return to the main camp. They pointed their bright steel knives at these people and tied their feet.
The grassland people vented their grievances in the city on these civilians, cutting off a head with one knife. They might have had a little compassion in the past, but now they only have killing in their hearts.
The pitiful screams of the civilians spread throughout the gates of the West City. Thirteen thousand grassland people killed them for a long time. The knives in their hands were blunted. The heads were piled up and the bodies were thrown to the ground casually.
Some children were stabbed into the ground with the spears of Dagan soldiers. At this time, the prairie people had lost a little bit of humanity. They were venting the oppression that Dagan soldiers had placed on them over the years and venting the dissatisfaction in their hearts.
The massacre lasted until night, with the armies of both sides still fighting on the frontline battlefield. The moon in the sky illuminated both sides on the ground, and the fire in Zhenbei City was still burning, as if it was burning everything down.
While the armies were fighting on the front line, the prairie troops were slowly retreating. In the middle of the night, the armies of both sides paid their dues and retreated.
The various tribes of the prairie people retreated very quickly. After a bloody battle for a day, the army did not realize that the prairie people were retreating.
Zhenbei City
Xian Cheng took out the medicinal materials in his backpack. Every cultivator carries medicinal materials in his package in case of emergency.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest!" Yu Cheng took off his armor and put it aside, revealing a wound. Xian Cheng gently applied the powder to the wound and then wrapped it with cloth.
All the supplies in Zhenbei City were moved to the inner city. There was no shortage of supplies in the inner city, but in fact there were a lot of them.
There are more than 150,000 people gathered in the inner city. There are not many Dagan people on the grassland. The number of Dagan people in Zhenbei City is only about 400,000 at ordinary times. Some of them fled before the war. The grassland When people rushed outside the city, hundreds of thousands more people ran away.
There are only about 200,000 people left in the city. The young and middle-aged soldiers have followed the border soldiers in a bloody battle with the grassland people. The 50,000 soldiers from the far north frontier army have fought hard. Until now, there are only less than 3,000 people left. The young and middle-aged people are still about 5,000. Yu Cheng stayed in the inner city.
Xian Cheng smiled and said, "This is what a poor Taoist should do!"
Yu Chengdao: "You are a monk, you should not be involved in this matter!"
Xian Cheng was stunned for a moment and said: "A monk may be a poor Taoist but a great practitioner.
The reason why Master and others did not take action before was because once they did, the masters on the grassland would also take action.
Now that the reinforcements have arrived, Master and others can go looking for Master-Uncle with peace of mind..."
When Yu Cheng heard Xian Cheng's unreasonable answer, he felt a little absent-minded when the Taoist priest came, but after being busy, his whole person changed.
"Taoist Priest, are you worried?"
Xian Cheng shook his head: "No, no, I'm just a little worried about Master and his party."
"Are Taoist Hua Yun and others looking for Taoist Qingsong?" Yu Cheng knew that there were Taoist masters in the city, and because of the existence of these masters, the grassland talents did not send out top masters.
The people from the Taoist sect came to the grassland to find Taoist Master Qingsong who disappeared on the grassland.
"I do know something." Yu Chengzi said to himself: "When something happened to Master Qingsong, someone saw a purple thunder and lightning flying from the grassland to the northwest!"
After listening to Yu Cheng's words, Xian Cheng remembered something: "General, are you talking about the purple thunder and lightning?"
Yu Cheng nodded and picked up a piece of barbecue on the side: "Many herdsmen saw that thunder flying to the northwest!"
"Thunder method!" Xian Cheng was a little excited: "My uncle used the thunder method that day, and that lightning should be my uncle!"
"Then he should be safe!" Yu Cheng said with some satisfaction: "Why didn't you leave with your master and the others?"
"This, this, Master and the others asked me to come and report. By the way, I want to see if I can help the generals to find my uncle. We don't need too many people!" Fluent: "Master took us out of the mountain just for experience. Looking for my uncle is an experience, and it is also an experience for you, general!"
Why couldn't Yu Cheng see that the little Taoist priest in front of him was lying, but there was no need to expose it. He didn't know the urine of these people in the Taoist sect?
"You will follow me from now on!" Yu Cheng put a piece of roasted meat in Xian Cheng's hand: "If I have something to eat, I won't let you go hungry!"
On the grassland, Hua Yun and his party were walking on the road covered with stars and moon, and an old Taoist beside Hua Yun said: "Brother, is it appropriate to throw Xian Cheng into Zhenbei City like this?"
Taoist Master Hua Yun was silent for a moment: "Xian Cheng's path is destined to be different from that of Xian Zong and others, or it may have been revealed when the master gave him the name!
His path is different from ours, his experience and future are different!"
The Taoist priest who spoke out shook his head: "You guys are so godly, but you can't say it clearly. I'm worried about that kid. I put a piece of jade on him. You have to compensate me..."
