Two hundred and seventeenth, why fear Hong Tao behind him
All the coalition forces in the grassland thought that they would spend the entire winter safely in Guanshan County, and then return to the grassland with the plundered population and wealth. Dunmao Chaoji Lader led the troops of the Taichige tribe to break camp and head south.
Then he left, heading towards Bingyuan City. Within a few hours, there were no more tribesmen in the Taiqige tribe camp that was originally bustling with people.
For this reason, the Lord of the Chi Youjin Tribe, an old man who likes to use Dayao's southern one-leaf and one-gold tea leaves to cook milk tea to show his noble status. After learning the news, he also had a banquet with several other Lords of the Tribe at the same place.
They all laughed at Dunmao for coveting the gold, jade, and silk in that big city, but they never thought about how many warriors from the Taiqige tribe would lose their lives under that big city with towering walls.
Having said that, the tribes are still a coalition in name, and the Taichige tribe is the leader of the tribes. Therefore, for the sake of caution, the lords on the grassland have sent several teams of trained warriors to follow the Taichige tribe's horses.
After all, they have also drank from the alliance, and the most despised people on the grassland are those who are treacherous.
However, the total number of slaves and cavalry of the Taiqiuge tribe is less than 30,000 capable warriors, and there are still 20,000 slaves of the Taiqiuge tribe. These slaves have proven that they have the ability to attack the city in several previous attacks.
Not inferior to the bravery of the cavalry in the nobles' tents, those who did not even have shoes or warm robes each had only a short blade in their mouths, but the speed at which the ants climbed onto the city was beyond the reach of the former. The lords of the tribes saw it with their own eyes.
After surpassing the combat prowess of these slaves, they began to think about when to return to the grassland to train the slaves in the clan. They immediately thought that this would be tantamount to making the Taijige tribe's already unrivaled power among other tribes even higher, and making these tribes even more powerful.
The lords who appear to be incompatible with each other are even more afraid of the Taiqi Ge tribe.
The tribes on the grassland, plus the troops of the Taiqi Ge tribe, totaled nearly 50,000 people. If the troops of both sides were spread out to fight in the wilderness, and the more than 10,000 Jinzhou troops in the round city might not be able to survive for even an hour. But it is obvious that
Song Zhiwen would not be so stupid as to dispatch the Jinzhou army, which was already at a numerical disadvantage, to merge with Yuancheng. The barbarians were bound to engage in the most difficult siege battle since entering Jinzhou.
The siege equipment made by the Taiqi Ge tribe will lose more than 30% every time it is used. According to this strategy, if several county towns are captured, the coalition forces of the grassland tribes will have to climb the Yao people's city walls with bare hands, and the casualties will be doubled. However,
Every time before a battle, Dunmao would use magic to conjure up a few weapons, which could be used after supplementing them.
After the last few battles, Dunmao stopped adding siege equipment before the war started. As a result, they couldn't even find a longer bamboo ladder to send the brave men up to the city, so they had to give up the attack and circle the north of the city for the last time.
The plan of a county town was to choose the neighboring large counties that were relatively soft. Even so, without the support of those charging horns and torch stone carts, the coalition forces of the grassland tribes faced that garrison. There were not many
In the end, the county seat buried more than a thousand corpses in the ditch below the city.
Use horseshoes to think that the largest city garrison in Jinzhou must not be comparable to the previous counties and counties. The slaves of your Taiqiuge tribe can climb the earth city more than ten feet high with bare hands, how can they climb and round the city?
The city wall that seems to reach the horizon?
The people of these tribes have already plundered enough wealth from those counties and cities. If they want to attack and round the city, they are afraid that the city will not be captured in the end, and not many people in their tribe will die, and they will return to the grassland by then.
If you have no spare power, you must not let the neighboring tribes slaughter you.
"My lord, the soldiers and horses of the tribes and the cavalry of our rear guard
We are still two miles away." The companion urged his horse to rush to Dunmao's horse, his face full of indignation, "None of these lords kept their oaths! They all wanted to follow us and see the prey they killed.
Come up and snatch it!”
The edges of the iron-black heavy armor were lined with fur, and the white wolf's head on the helmet was half grinning, revealing its fangs, which glowed palely in the sunlight. On horseback, his back was as straight as steel.
The figure of the leader of the Taiqi Ge tribe at this moment is completely comparable to that of the most vigorous young man on the grassland.
Only the companion who was closest to Dunmao understood the desolation in Dunmao's eyes when he sewed the iron bars to the lining of his armor with leather. He was so old that he could no longer sit upright on a horse.
With his strong self-confidence, he needs to use these external things that he would otherwise dismiss to maintain his arrogant style in front of everyone in the Taiqiang tribe.
"Ignore them, these carrion-eating owls can only follow the warriors of the Taichige tribe and eat their leftover scraps!" Dun Mao shouted to the people behind the horses, Taichige tribe.
The people responded to him with shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
The slaves and cavalry of the Taiqi Ge tribe loved this master from the bottom of their hearts. He would not be angry with even the humblest herdsmen in the tent because of temporary resentment. To the cavalry, he would give most of the money he earned after each battle.
The wealth was distributed to them. It was a lucky thing for them to be able to fight in the land of the Yao people with their lord who had not yet aged.
"Lord, are we really going to be the first tribe to attack Yuancheng?" Bandang said worriedly that he was also the concern of many generals in the Taijige tribe, "Chi Youjin and Kulu'er tribe are all watching with eager eyes. Kulu
The Lord of the Erbu can be said to be in awe of you, but the old guy from the Chiyoujin Tribe almost didn’t shoot an arrow in the back when we were attacking the city!"
The hatred of the old leader of the Chiyoujin Tribe towards the Taiqige Tribe is known to all children who can ride horses on the grassland, and Dunmao naturally knows this very well, "Whether that old guy can survive the next winter is anyone's guess.
, and his successor is as stupid as his father...."
"In ten years, as long as the Taiqi Ge tribe returns to the grassland after winning this war, in just ten years, if you look around, you will only see people from the Taiqi Ge tribe galloping on the grassland!"
Dunmao made a fist with his right hand and hit the breast shield on his chest with all his strength, gritting his teeth to suppress the blood that rose from the bottom up to his throat.
After a brief dizziness, Dunmao woke up. Waves of fatigue gradually swept over his body. Bandang led the horse to follow him worriedly. However, a few moments of dizziness made Bandang notice that he was the one who knew the most about Dunmao from the Taijige Department.
One of the few people who are in good health, the current leader of the Taiqige tribe has to be accompanied by someone even when he wakes up at night. If he is so dizzy in the middle of the night, he will only find a cold body outside the tent when he wakes up the next morning.
Corpse.
"Only if I can survive ten more years..." Dunmou murmured in a whisper that no one could hear. Overwork and injuries from decades of battles made him suffer a lot in his old age.
, also shortened his lifespan.
Dunmao does not have the martial arts realm like Tuluo Batu, and naturally he does not have the physique to be a stallion at this age. Although Dunmao is already in an excellent situation compared to many old herdsmen who can only survive at this age, but this
His body is not strong enough to support the feat he intends to accomplish...a huge feat.
The cavalry of the Taijige tribe was divided into four square formations to protect the slave infantry in the center. Although I knew that Yao would never be able to take out a full-scale cavalry to sneak attack halfway through the march. If so, according to Yao
It is absolutely impossible for a person to sit back and watch several cities being destroyed and ignore it, but with a huge achievement right in front of him, he must be more cautious.
"The one Yao took good care of?"
"With the last group of cavalry and a centurion guard, even if Tuluo Batu himself comes to intercept and kill him, it will not be easy." Bandang replied, "But that Yao man doesn't seem to be doing well these days.
With such a strong spirit, the experts from several tribes looked at him, fearing that he would commit suicide."
"What he is going to do is a betrayal to their clan, and it is a betrayal that will be devastating to this clan. Anyone with flesh and blood will be afraid, let alone such a coward." Dun Mao said indifferently, "
No matter what method you use, I want him to be in your sight in the next few days. Don't worry, he will not commit suicide."
Song Zhiwen's idea was indeed correct, and Dunmao had indeed made preparations to hoard a batch of siege equipment in another secret location. However, the number of this batch of siege equipment was only a fraction of the equipment that was burned in the Nameless Valley. Even if all of them were
Even if they were laid out, it would not be enough for two thousand-man teams, and excluding the previous losses. The remaining equipment would not even be enough for them to break open the gate of a county city.
The reason why Dunmao chose to bet all his chances of winning on that Yao man was because he saw in that Yao man's eyes that the desire to live was as strong as he had ever seen. A person wanted to live so much.
People will do whatever it takes to survive.
Also, if what Yao told 1 to him was true...then the round city defense would be almost nothing to him.
He had been waiting for decades to set foot on this land. When his legs and feet were no longer as flexible as before, his back began to stoop, and his hair turned half gray. He couldn't bear to wait any longer. Most of the accumulation of the Taichige Department over the years was lost.
Here, if this battle fails, the hope that the Taiqiuge tribe can still protect the largest tribe in the grassland will be extremely slim.
But he knew that his death date was in the not-too-distant future, maybe three years, maybe five years. The increasingly cold winter was not something that the old man on the grassland could easily survive.
The cavalry of the Taiqi Ge tribe spread their horns on both wings, and the slave warriors on foot ran quickly to follow the advance cavalry. The few remaining siege equipment were pulled by the slaves with ropes, and the men and horses of the other tribes were still far away.
He looked around and seemed to have no intention of making any contribution.
Dun Mao raised his head and looked at the city's head. The city he had dreamed about for half his life was posing towards him five hundred steps away. The flame of conquest in his heart was burning like a coal mine.
He drew his sword and shouted an attack order to the slave phalanx behind him. The slaves shouted and strode towards the city gate, while arrows rained down from the top of the city.
