Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 109

[Chapter 109 War Horse]

“Whoosh…”

At this time, the city wall was full of soldiers of King Yan.

After seeing them appear, there was a sound of breaking through the air.

There was a sharp pain in the body, they fell off the horse, and the wooden support was pierced by several crossbow arrows.

“King Yan! The people of Beidi will not let you go. When the army of Beidi arrives, they will surely tear you to pieces.” Blood gushed out of Mu Tuo’s mouth, and his eyes were full of viciousness.

In the battle of Ningjindusi, three wolf records died in battle.

Khan Mule Hongzhen ordered the guard of Ningcheng to be cramp and stripped to the bone, and then massacred the city for ten days to avenge the three wolves.

“My lord, I will watch you avenge me from Mu Sang!” Mu Tuo’s eyes widened and his body softened.

…

“Your Majesty, retreat!”

There was a hint of paleness on the distant horizon in the east.

More than two hours have passed since the opening of the city gate at midnight.

During these two hours, Kutu’s heart rose to his throat.

He counted on Mu Tuo and the soldiers who entered the city to control the situation of the battle, defeat the soldiers of King Yan in the city, and welcome him into the city.

But as time went by, his heart became colder and colder.

When King Yan’s soldiers appeared on the city wall again, he understood that the siege had failed completely.

Pushed onto the horse by the commander of the Thousand Guards, he glanced at Yancheng, as if he wanted to engrave this city in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he raised his whip and urged the horses to go north.

The cavalry of the guards tightly guarded Kutu’s two wings, and they would protect Kutu back to the grassland.

After escaping for a certain distance, Kutu reined in the horse’s head, turned his head and looked at Yancheng again, his eyes were like ice cubes in a millennium cold pool.

He knew very well that this fiasco would ruin his reputation in the grassland.

The great khan might strip him of his kingship in a fit of rage.

But he doesn’t care.

He just wanted to be able to lead the troops to Yancheng again, and return the shame of failure to King Yan.

And wooden supports.

His most admired subordinate, Beidi people believe like a wolf. If the wolf’s companion dies, he will definitely return to give the enemy the worst revenge.

The same is true for them Beidi people.

Even for revenge, he must come back.

Yancheng.

The battle in the city was almost carried out in a one-sided situation.

The four-day battle has already made the Beidi people have no advantage in numbers.

The surprise attack brought by the mixed quicklime firecrackers made many Beidi soldiers lose their combat effectiveness.

Relying on the strength of the armor and the perfect formation, the soldiers of the palace quickly surrounded and suppressed the enemy troops in the city.

When the first ray of sunlight fell, the shouts of killing in Yan City disappeared.

The people of Yancheng, who had been terrified all night, cautiously exposed half of their heads from the courtyard gate.

Seeing the Beidi soldiers lying in a pool of blood at the door of their own house, they shrank back in fright.

“Your Highness, Kutu escaped last night. Our cavalry did not find them outside the city, but the general has sent people to notify the three northern counties to block the road and try to capture Kutu.” Chang Wei followed behind Zhao Xu, and the two People now have panda eyes.

I haven’t slept well these days.

Especially last night, the two of them have been commanding in the city, sending soldiers to convey military orders.

“Send out all the cavalry to hunt down Kutu, and at the same time clear out all the remnants of Beidi, so as not to continue to destroy Yan County.” Zhao Xu ordered.

Although most Beidi soldiers were wiped out in the city, some Beidi soldiers saw that the situation was wrong and escaped from the city wall.

It was not until they wiped out the Beidi soldiers in the alley that they re-occupied the city wall.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei immediately sent an order to Chen Hu.

After a while, there was a sound of horseshoes.

Chen Hu took the lead and led the soldiers of the royal family to the outside of the city.

“Ah…”

Zhao Xu was walking on the north-south main street when suddenly a Beidi soldier rose from the pile of corpses.

Beidi soldiers raised their scimitars and rushed towards Zhao Xu with a ferocious face.

“Bah!”

Two spears pierced the Beidi soldier’s body immediately, and the Beidi soldier fell down slowly.

Zhao Xu’s face was as usual. When he was patrolling the battlefield in the morning, this happened not only once.

There are also royal soldiers who were injured because they were not prepared.

“In the future, there will inevitably be a life-and-death battle between Dasong and Beidi.” Chang Weiwang frowned at the dead Beidi soldiers.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

He could feel the Beidi soldiers’ malice towards the Dasong people.

This malice is the malice of wolves towards their prey.

Did Dasong people commit crimes against Beidi people?

No.

Then why did they invade the border repeatedly and kill Dasong people?

very simple.

They just want your land, they want your wealth, they want your women.

This is raw wildness, this is a struggle for living space.

Such scrambles have continued throughout human history.

Where are the Indians of North America now?

Where are the Aboriginal people in Australia now?

Who is now in the land where they once lived?

Sometimes war just doesn’t make sense, because he doesn’t need reason.

The world is a jungle, and the weak can only give up everything they have.

Not to mention ancient times, even in the so-called civilized society of today, this principle still prevails.

Therefore, he will not show mercy to these dead Beidi soldiers.

If the murderer needs mercy, who will show mercy to the slain?

That being the case, then each depends on his own ability.

If you lose, you take everything from me.

If you win, I will cut off your head.

From the south of the city to the north of the city, Zhao Xu looked at the corpses along the way.

Gradually, the courage of the people also grew up.

They came to the street, pointed at Beidi soldiers, and did not forget to spit.

There are also some brave people who are taking sticks and cleaning up Beidi soldiers who are still trying to resist with the soldiers of the palace.

At this time, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei stopped in front of a folk square.

There are hundreds of households in this folk square surrounded by earthen walls, which have now been burned to ashes.

Last night, the soldiers of the palace set fire here to create an illusion.

Of course, the people have been transferred away before.

After the war, the palace needed to compensate these people a large sum of money.

The two were looking at the dark ruins.

At this time, a school lieutenant ran over with an excited expression, “Your Highness, General, the horses caught inside the city and those outside the city totaled 60,000. They are all good horses.”

“So many?” Chang Wei was overjoyed, showing two rows of white front teeth.

Zhao Xu’s eyes also turned into crescent moons.

Because of the rapid defeat, Beidi left a large number of horses in the camp.

The horses are now his property.

If there are two people and one horse, these horses can form a cavalry of 30,000 people.

Zhao Xu laughed for a while, then asked again: “How many bad horses are there now?”

Many horses were injured or died in the battle.

“More than 10,000.” The captain scratched his head, this part has not been counted yet.

Zhao Xu nodded, and said to Chang Wei: “Raise these injured horses, if they can still be used, they will be used, and the dead horses will be taken back to the camp to be given to the kitchen, and they will be made into dried meat, and they will be given to the soldiers at ordinary times. Eat, but the oil from the boiled meat should be reserved for this king, it is of great use to me.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei replied, not sure why King Yan wanted meat oil.

Zhao Xu didn’t explain it either, it was just a rainy day.

60,000 horses are certainly something to be happy about, but the fodder these war horses eat is not a small amount.

People in Beidi raise horses, which are natural pastures on the grasslands.

And he raises horses with the least amount of fodder and beans, so he can eat a lot in a day.

Therefore, the pace of earning money cannot be stopped.

“Also, clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, the battle is not over yet.” Zhao Xu’s face suddenly became serious.

Although Kutu was defeated, he brought more than 20,000 horses.

What’s more, there is another Zhang family who is watching a play.

Now, it’s time to clean them up.
