Chapter 453

(); "What's the matter!" The Qiang Da Chanyu, who ran thousands of miles from the grassland to the edge of Anding County, wanted to take advantage of the main force of Xiliang and Liangzhou. The Two Great Families allied forces are fighting on the Fufeng Plain, and they can take advantage of it. But no one expected that they officially attacked Anding County and Zhangye County. These days, the Two Great Families of Liang Province were suddenly defeated, according to the news that their spies on the land of Liang Province came back. Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang, is already leading his army northward, and soon the army of Xiliang will meet them in this plain area. Thinking of fighting against the Xiliang army soon, he was filled with unease. The battle strength of the Xiliang army was not blown out, but a real fight. The Three Great Families on the land of Liang Province are not the opponents of the Xiliang army, how can they be their opponents from the army of the grassland tribes? Unless they can integrate the forces of all the tribes together, they must Otherwise, in the face of the attack of the Xiliang army, they can only retreat, and the opponent's battle strength is far from what they can match now. But now it is not a simple matter for him to lead his army back from the land of Liang Province. The warriors of the grassland tribes followed him and captured them because of the supplies and women. . Now they have only got a little bit of supplies, but the population has not caught a single one. Those civilians have been pushed into the city by the Xiliang army. If they want to take prisoners, they have to attack the city guarded by the Xiliang army. Attacking the city has never been the strength of the people from the grassland tribes. They have no siege weapons, and they don't have the means to go up and down like the people in the rivers and lakes. So attacking the city is a very difficult thing for them, they will not attack a city with a large army until it is a last resort. Now they just want to plunder some people and materials, and then retreat back to the grasslands, otherwise they will come here in vain, and the consequences of the in vain will be very sad. Due to a rain and snow, the temperature in Liang Province dropped very fast, and many people died of freezing due to this cold weather, even in Liang Province, not to mention colder than in Liang Province those grassland areas. Although there are ways to resist the cold on the grasslands, this time they came out and spent a lot of materials, and they came out to collect materials for the winter. Now not only did they not get what they wanted, but they consumed most of the supplies for the winter, so they went back empty-handed. When the most severe and cold time came, their whole family would die on the grassland. So now the Qiang Da Shanyu feels very difficult, he can't let these warriors under him go away empty-handed, otherwise he will not be able to call so many warriors in the future. "Da Danyu, there is a letter from the Xianbei people!" As the military advisor of the Qiang people said, "We also received the news of the demise of the Ma Family and Pang Family in Liang Province, and we are also facing difficulties. The choice, this choice, is related to the future of the tribal warriors on the grassland.'' '"So what are they going to do? "' asked Qiang Da Shanyu. The military advisor was silent for a while and said, "They plan to flee after looting for a while. " "How much can we get in such a short period of time? We don't have the weapons to attack the city, and there is no way to attack those important cities with a lot of materials." "Da Chanyu expressed his worries: "And? I'm worried that the news will not be able to keep them busy, that is to let the soldiers under him know that the army of Liang Province Two Great Families has been defeated? We will be isolated and helpless when we go south this time? Lower The morale of the soldiers!" "So they decided to combine the armies of our two tribes, attack the important city in Anding County, and take the Pearl City together! " "Attack the Pearl City?" The Qiang Danyu hesitated: "Can we really conquer the Pearl City?" The Pearl City is an important place in the northern part of Anding County that borders the grassland The city? It is also the largest city of the Han Family in the north? A heavy city with 20,000 elite infantry and 10,000 elite cavalry. When Anding County was besieged? The defenders in Anding County City immediately appealed for help. , The people in Anding County City hope that the defenders in Pearl City will send troops to support them. Unfortunately, they didn't expect, the people in Pearl City turn a blind eye to these news, and it's fine if they don't come to support them, and they block them. The army of other cities around Mingzhucheng. The military advisor continued: "The soldiers in Mingzhucheng are still the former Han Family soldiers? We can attack them with confidence? Don't worry about the Xiliang army going north? Maybe the Xiliang army Would rather we attack them? Because after we leave, they can take the city without a single soldier? " "What you said really makes sense!" The Qiang people thought about it for a while, and felt that this was more useful than their death attack? Attacking everywhere? Facing those cities with high walls and deep pools, they have a little way Not at all. Instead of running around like headless flies, it is better to choose a target and attack it with the armies of the two races. If the armies of the two races join forces , it is not a problem to win a city with only 30,000 troops guarding it! "But how are they going to allocate it?" Before the battle, the Qiang ethnic group began to think about the distribution after the war. The military advisor didn't know about it either: "Da Shanyu, you go to discuss with the patriarch of the Xianbei people. " At this time, the Qiang people can be regarded as a tribe of the entire ethnic group, and the warriors have come, while the Xianbei people can only be regarded as half of the ethnic group because there is another Tuoba tribe that did not come. . The remaining half of the clan that did not come, followed the Tuoba clan. The Tuoba clan were not optimistic about their going south this time. It turns out that Chief Tuoba Clan is indeed very discerning, this time even if they are broken In Pearl City, what they harvest is also very rare. After all, there is a lot of grain and various materials in his city, but it is too small compared to their army going south. At most, everyone will return to their original cost and then get Just a little reward. "Help me meet Xianbei patriarch and want to talk to him. " .... Inside Pearl City. The guardian of Pearl City watched as more and more warriors of the grassland tribe gathered outside. When he learned that the grassland tribe was heading south, he was very worried about the grassland tribe. They will attack the Pearl City. Because other cities in Anding County are in the hands of the Xiliang army, only their place deep into the grassland hinterland still belongs to their Han Family. Because other places also need The reason why the soldiers are guarding the city is that the number of defenders in the Pearl City has not increased, but the large amount of materials stored in the city, these things are likely to be the reason for those grassland tribes to attack the Pearl City. If the grassland tribes are in other If there is no benefit from the place, they will focus on the Pearl City, which is certain. Not only is a Pearl City deep in the grassland, but also because the Pearl City belongs to their Han Family home The city of Xiliang, not the city under the control of the army under the king of Xiliang Li Xiang. The other party don't dare provoke Xiliang, but will definitely attack the city of their Han Family without the slightest hesitation, who makes them Han This is all Family's troops now. "General, it's getting late, it's time to go back for dinner!" The soldier beside the general reminded the general that the general was looking at the grasslands outside Person frowned: "You ask someone to bring me the meal!" "And call me the person who works the fine job. " "No!" Soon after, several people came to the city wall and said to the main general: "Meet the general!" Patriarch Han will look outside and nodded: "There is information from outside. ?" The person in charge of the intelligence said: "According to the current information, the two grassland forces are converging together, and they are likely to have united!" "The army has also begun to drive towards us from the south. Come here!" Patriarch Han will listen and ask: "Apart from Pearl City, are there people who found those grassland tribes around other cities?" The person in charge of intelligence nodded: "Except for Pearl City , the cavalry of the steppe tribe did start to appear outside other cities, according to our guess, they may also attack other cities around Pearl City!" "They are going to kill us!" Patriarch Han will Squinting: "After killing the other Two Great Families on Fufeng Plain, Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang, is now leading the army retreating from Fufeng Plain to the north. They are afraid of encountering the Xiliang army, so they can only go from other places. retreat. But they took it all the way from the grassland, and it was impossible to return empty-handed, so they put their purpose on our side, as long as the Pearl City and other surrounding cities were destroyed, the materials stored by our Han Family After plundering the past, their trip was not in vain. " Patriarch Han will see through the thoughts of the two grassland forces at once. Several other people are also clear, so the expressions on their faces are very solemn. If they can't handle it well at this time, it is very likely that They will perish along with these cities. Even their families will perish together. Don't expect those prairie people to have a conscience. For prairie people, everything they can take away must be taken away. Everything they walk will be burned with fire. So this is a war for everyone's life, and all of them have to prepare for the worst! In fact, they all know that there is still a way to go Let's go, that's like calling for help from the Xiliang side, asking Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang, to lead an army north to support them. But do they have that qualification? The king of Xiliang issued an edict to them a long time ago, They want to bring them under the rule of Xiliang, but they keep away from these all are. Because none of them want to lose the privileges in their hands, they join the Xiliang side, the military power and the rights of the nobles in their hands are all lost. It will be taken away by Xiliang. There is no noble class in Xiliang. The only person who can stand above everyone is Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang. The privilege is only a little more related than the ordinary person That's it! Even the land will belong to the Xiliang Yamen, except for some jewelry business, the rest will be classified into the Xiliang side! This is why they did not take refuge in the Xiliang side The reason is that they don't want to give away the privileges and land that their fathers have worked so hard to easily give away. But now it seems that if they don't give up these things, the whole family is likely to perish. They can Thinking of this, the general can naturally think of this, but they won't mention it if the general doesn't say it. I suddenly remembered that if they led the army to support and stabilize County City, would it be much better now? After all, as long as they go to support and stabilize the County City, even if they just bring out the high-level family members, their Han Family will not all split up and in pieces as it is now. The hundreds of thousands of troops who came back from the south, now Scattered in the territory ruled by Xiliang, the remaining part of the cavalry as well as the infantry ran further west. They are now taking root at the border of Bingzhou and Liang Province, trying to re-establish the glory of their Han Family there. Now that they are alone and helpless, if there is no external help, it is very likely that these grassland tribes will break through the city, and finally they will be home Broken to death. "If we are as soft as the Xiliang side, will the king of Xiliang, Li Xiang, lead his army to come to support us?" Patriarch Han will look at the tent of the grassland tribe and say, in the afterglow of the sun , a large number of contiguous white tents appeared on the distant plain, and those tents represented the arrival of more and more steppe soldiers. At this time, the number of Qiang and Xianbei tribesmen who went south was more than 500,000. They were scattered on the vast border, and there were also many in Anding County, Zhangye County, and Tianshui County! But now the main force of the other side They are rushing to their side of Pearl City, and it will not take long for the tents of grassland tribes to be scattered outside the city. "With the character of the king of Xiliang, Li Xiang, he will definitely come!" The person in charge of intelligence said affirmatively: "He is not only the king of the land of Xiliang, but also the Provincial Governor of Liang Province, strictly speaking of which all of us are his subordinates, we only need to promise to return all rights to him after he comes, he will definitely come!" "Then send someone to Xiliang for help!" Although General Patriarch Han really doesn't want to take this step, he has to go. Otherwise, the people of this city will fall with him and feed the generals on the border. He knows very well how those prairie people treat their captives. , I would rather die than be the slave of the prairie people! The other side just returned to Li Xiang on the edge of Zhangye County, not yet, when he continued north, he received news from the north that the army of the prairie people gathered westward, The target is very likely to be the Pearl City of Anding County, which has not been captured by Xiliang! Li Xiang knew that he defeated Liang Province Two Great Families and couldn't be busy with other people. The Qiang and Xianbei people will definitely make a decision when they know the news. response. And think that they have set their sights on the Pearl City of Anding County! ....
