Dahan first prince

Chapter 425 The tears of King Zuo Xian
In the middle of the night on the fifth day at the foot of the Mayi city, Zuo Xianwang's big tent, where Ji Porridge was located, finally became completely quiet.

But Zuo Xianwang scrambled to eat porridge, but he didn't fall asleep.

Not only did Ji Porridge not fall asleep, but King Zhelan, King Aries, King Jinshan, King Loufan Zhebie, and even those followers and slave tribes of Pi Xiaowang also appeared in King Zuoxian's presence. large account.

In the center of the big tent, there were a few Huns in shabby clothes, dusty, but ashen-faced, kneeling;

From the exaggerated closed ring hanging on the nose, it is not difficult to see: these people are all warriors of the Aries Department...

"In this way, Wuzhou Fortress is lost?"

The gloomy words sounded, causing those people to raise their heads numbly, and looked at the Aries King not far away with their begging eyes;
But seeing the Xiongnu nobleman with a felt hat on his head, a shofar hanging around his waist, and a sheepskin jacket on his body, he looked away guiltily at this moment, as if he was afraid of getting involved with these people.

Seeing this, those people finally lowered their heads in despair, acquiescing to the question of porridge.

——Wuzhou Fortress, lost...
"King Aries, don't you want to explain to me?"

It was another question with an extremely cold tone, which finally caused the nobleman of the Huns to stand up with a depressed expression, walk up to the porridge, put his hands on his chest, and knelt down on one knee;
"Tu She asked me to keep a thousand riders in Wuzhou, but I thought that attacking Mayi might require more warriors, so I violated Tu She's order and only kept 2000 people."

"——I really didn't expect that the Han Chinese who fled in a hurry in the clouds would even take care of outflanking our rear..."

"I have no excuse;"

"If Tu She wants to punish him, as the king of the Aries Department, I will definitely not be timid!"

"The descendants of the Aries God, swear allegiance to Guli Gutu and Tu She to the death!"

When he said these words full of feeling, he saw that the Aries King raised his head without fear, and looked into his eyes, which had already brought relief in the face of death.

But in front of the Aries King, seeing the Aries King's attitude of "I am willing to apologize with death", his face became darker immediately.

In fact, let alone the Aries King;
Even the congee Ji Porridge didn't expect that the Han people would have the guts to go around and outflank them, blocking their retreat from Wuzhou Fortress!

Think about what happened in the cloud a few days ago?
——As soon as the Huns cavalry opened the north gate of Yunzhong City, before they had time to attack, there were already Han Chinese running away from the south gate!

In the process of occupying Yunzhong City, it was the ordinary people who had no way to escape and simply fought to the death that hindered the Xiongnu troops led by Shuo Ji Porridge!

The process of capturing Yunzhong was so smooth, it naturally made all the nobles of the Xiongnu, including Ji Porridge, dumbfounded;
Similar to the words "The Han people are vulnerable, Tu She might be able to fight to Chang'an", I can't remember how many times I heard it in those few days.

For the vulnerability of Yunzhong City, Ji Ji Porridge was surprised, but he was not complacent.

But inevitably, there was also some contempt for the Han soldiers.

Therefore, when Ji Ji porridge led all the troops from Wuzhou to the south, he clearly knew that King Aries had violated his order, so he discounted the order of "leaving a thousand riders to guard Wuzhou fort" by [-]%. Jiji porridge just pretended not to see it;
Because at that time, Ji Porridge also believed that the Han people who fled from the clouds in embarrassment might not even care about defending Mayi!

Not to mention that while guarding Mayi, he detoured from an unknown path and recaptured the Wuzhou Fortress to prevent his retreat...
"Should it be some unknown mountain trail?"

Thinking of this, Ji Porridge couldn't help but shook his head, and cast his stern gaze on the Aries King in front of him.

"I heard that the Han people have such a saying;"

"—if the rules are made and no one follows them, the rules will become a joke."

"King Aries, you should pay the price for turning my order into a joke..."

As he spoke in a low tone, he saw Ji Porridge turned sideways, picked up a sharp dagger from behind, and slowly brought the tip of the dagger close to Aries King's right eye;

Just when the dagger was about to be inserted into the beige eyes that were staring round but never showing any fear, Juan Jizhou lightly slashed the dagger down.

A moment later, a slender crack extending from under the eyes to the corner of the mouth appeared on Aries King's face;

But Ji Porridge withdrew his dagger in a serious manner, and looked at everyone in the tent with a serious expression.

"The Aries Department is the sharp weapon of my great Xiongnu to rule the grassland!"

"After losing two thousand Aries warriors, even I couldn't hold back my tears."

"But I am Zuo Tushe of the Huns!"

"—is the heir appointed by Gutu himself!"

"And you are all the longbows and sharp blades used by the Huns to rule the grasslands and suppress the nomads!!"

He let out a few low growls in an extremely serious manner, and then he lowered his head again, looking at the Aries King who had lowered his head in shame.

"Remember this scar;"

"This is the tear stain that Zuo Tushe, the great Hun, carved on your face with his own hands."

"This tear mark means that two thousand Aries warriors have been permanently buried in the territory of the Han people because of your fault."

"If you live up to this tear trail, the Aries God will not forgive you;"

"I will not forgive you;"

"I won't forgive you even if I stand alone..."

The low and gentle tone made the King of Aries bow his head in shame, ignoring his bloody cheeks, but slowly bent down and kissed his toes;
It seems that only in this way can Aries King dispel the shame in his heart, and show his loyalty unreservedly in front of him...
"Tu She!"

Before Aries King got up, he heard the exclamation of the man with the head on his arm suddenly in the tent!
However, at this moment, Ji Porridge held the dagger in his hand, and slowly drew two 'tear marks' on both sides of his cheeks.

After the blood stained most of his face red, Ji Porridge raised his head and looked at the heads of various departments in the account.

"It is my order to come to Mayi."

"Although Wuzhou Fortress was recaptured by the Han people because of Aries' fault, I gave the order to attack Mayi."

"Now, I need you to let go of the past, those woolly contradictions and hatreds, and join me in rushing out of the encirclement of the Han people."

"—Big Huns, you can lose me;"

"But we can't lose Aries, Zhelan, and Lou Fan!"

"To support the plow alone, we can't do without these three carriages that rule the grassland..."

The deep and decisive voice finally moved everyone in the hall, and they each picked up their daggers and slashed across their faces involuntarily;
When the entire king's tent was occupied by horrible faces with blood flowing out, the few people kneeling in the center of the king's tent had their throats cut open by the bone knife in the hands of the shaman... ·
——In the south of the Great Wall, whether it is the common people or the center of the court, as long as it is offering sacrifices and praying for blessings, it mostly means praying for peace and well-being;
Even the sacrificial ceremony before the army leaves the army will also be full of the meaning of "doing it as a last resort".

But in the grasslands, especially the grasslands under the rule of the Huns, the sacrifice of living people always symbolizes only one thing.

--war.

A war that will never stop dying, and must be won with the last drop of blood...

·
"I don't know how that Zuo Xianwang feels at this moment;"

As usual, standing at the head of Mayi city, casting his eyes outside the city, the knights of the Huns headquarters who were supervising the slave cannon fodder attacking the city, Jin She couldn't help showing a touch of sorrow on his indifferent face.

——The news that Wuzhou Sai has returned to the control of the Han army has spread throughout the area of ​​Mayi for hundreds of miles!
However, the Huns outside the city had clearly learned that the retreat was over, but they still did not stop attacking.

Even in daily battles, slaves are sent to die by cannon fodder;

Even if each dead slave would only consume three or five arrows from the Han army;
Even if such a meaningless attack could not pose any threat to Mayi at all, the Huns still needed to attack urgently.

As for those non-slaves and subordinate cavalry, such as Baiyang, Zhelan and other soldiers, they have never entered within [-] steps of Mayi since that day.

It seems that their existence is not for fighting, but just to stand behind the slaves and cannon fodder, forcing these poor slaves to die under the city of Mayi.

Looking at the slaves who fell one by one under the city wall, but still stared at the city wall numbly, Jin She couldn't help flashing a trace of resentment;
It's just that I can't bear it, but it has nothing to do with the White Lotus, the Holy Mother of later generations...

"What a good job..."

"If we can bring these slaves back to Guanzhong, I'm afraid it will only take three to five years, and then there will be another Zhengguo Canal..."

With such an exclamation on his face as usual, Jin She did not forget to raise his head, and waved to the officers in the distance, signaling the bow and crossbow to stop shooting, and handed over the slave cannon fodder to the swords and shields on the wall to harvest.

——The slaves that the Huns don't love, Jin Shezi also doesn't love.

Especially the battles in the past few days have given Jin She the idea that 'killing such a cannon fodder is not worth shooting a three-edged arrow at all'.

Such cognition may be somewhat exaggerated;

But Jin She's ability to have such a cognition is really due to the almost non-existent siege of the Huns in the past few days...
"Huns and northern barbarians~"

"What is the intention?"

A little confused, he muttered to himself, and saw that Jin She couldn't help but turn slightly, and looked at Quan Xu, Captain Habayashi, beside him.

"Hu knew the loss of Wuzhou, he should have been in a mess, or fled all night;"

"Today, I have been stuck in Mayi for a long time, and I can't get away from it. I drive the slaves to attack the city every day. Why do you give me martial arts for nothing?"

"——Does this want to make someone underestimate the enemy, and then destroy Mayi?"

"Or the Beiman himself had no way to escape, so he made such a weird move?"

Hearing Jin She's question, Quan Xu on the side also frowned suspiciously.

The day before yesterday, after the Huns drove out more than 4000 slaves, but failed to attack a section of the city wall guarded by only a few hundred Han soldiers, Captain Habayashi under Quan Xu's command felt that he was out of battle.

Because of such a battle, there is no need for Captain Habayashi to intervene!
In the words of later generations, which often appear in basketball games, this war has entered the undoubted 'garbage time'...

"What will Hu want to do, the general will never know."

"Only the general thinks that if Hu comes, he must be prepared; if he comes to Mayi, he will definitely want to capture Mayi."

"Now, after hearing about the loss of Wuzhou, Hu can only fight and take two strategies;"

"However, in the next few days, Hu Zhan will be powerless and have no intention of retreating..."

"Master, I really don't know what to think..."

Seeing that Quan Xu was talking, and also put on a posture of "I don't understand", Jin She couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and turned his eyes to the outside of the city again, shouting weakly, towards the Huns who had returned to Mayi cannon fodder.

"Today is the fourth batch, right?"

"Tsk tsk..."

"Thousands of slaves are forced to work hard, and they all die under the city when they join together;"

"Di Chiefji Porridge, how generous?"

A slightly joking joke made Quan Xuhe smile, and cast his indifferent eyes on the battlefield outside the city.

Several days of fighting have almost completely dyed the land red;
But those Xiongnu cannon fodder who died outside the city walls, no one has collected their corpses so far.

On the contrary, the three-edged arrow shot by the guards in the city was pulled out by the slaves who survived by chance and retreated the same way, which made the soldiers of the Han army in the city very distressed.

——The arrowhead of a three-edged arrow has several taels of iron!
Even without considering the value of these irons, when thinking about the future, these arrows shot by him may be shot by the Huns to shoot the soldiers of the Han army.

As for the position about 200 steps outside the city wall, the person in charge of supervising the battle is still the Lou Fan bow cavalry;
It's just that in the past few days, without exception, these towering bow riders did not carry longbows on their bodies.

The arrow cluster that was supposed to hang on the carriage did not appear.

There were only ragged knights riding on naked war horses, watching the slave cannon fodder from afar, rushing to the city wall to die;

Every hour after the attack, the slaves will be summoned to retreat, and the triangular arrows collected by the slaves will be taken away, and the army will be reorganized again, and the next siege will be carried out...

"This is what you do, don't you want to cheat my Han family's arrow?"

"Sigh~"

"—One slave, three or five arrows of Yi Han..."

Seeing that Jin She suddenly asked a question, before he finished speaking, he looked out of the city with dull eyes;

Waiting for Quan Xu to follow Jin She's gaze, he looked at the cavalryman who fell off his horse outside the city, but found that after the man fell off his horse, no other cavalrymen stepped forward to check.

Not only did he not step forward to check, the 'Loudan Gongqi' fell off his horse, and he couldn't get up from the ground for a long time...

Seeing the abnormality, Jin She and Quan Xu on the city wall looked at each other for a while, and then they all exclaimed in unison!
"The golden cicada escapes its shell!!!"
