Chapter 453 Willow City
As the setting sun slanted, the grassland seemed to have been stabbed a few times, and was soaked in a rich layer of blood. Scores of crows were circling in the air, making ominous noises, spreading from the White Wolf Mountain to the east for several days. For ten miles, the messy corpses of people and horses were thrown everywhere, and the totem banners with holes pierced by arrows were inserted among the corpses desolately.

Fight for land and kill people!
However, Zhang Liao really won this battle beautifully, just like the Tang poem: intercept a hundred li, behead five thousand!Daima bleeds to death, and the barbarian hugs his saddle and weeps!The main front line of meat shields is Wang Hou. He wiped out the enemy in mobile battles, and his equipment is better than these Wuhuan people. The total number of Han troops who suffered serious injuries plus deaths was about a thousand. Almost everyone suffered minor injuries. Wang Hou himself They all had an electric cannon cut, and their eyes were black, but they were all within the acceptable range.

As for the Wuhuan people, those who died on the spot, plus those who were shot by arrows, stabbed by knives, and pierced by spears, etc., went back to the grave with inflammation, because there must be at least tens of thousands of people here today.

The majestic and savage Shanyu Tadun is here!

However, although the White Wolf Mountain was killed into a sea of ​​corpses and blood, the war with Wuhuan was not over. After all, although the White Wolf Mountain was very important to Wuhuan, it was only the Wuhuan people who gathered troops to plunder southward. Meeting places like the Naadam Conference in later Mongolia have no strategic value in themselves.

The only real strategic value is Liucheng, the settlement center that two generations of heroes, Qiu Juli and Ta Dun, painstakingly managed and built on the grassland.

There are more than tens of thousands of Wuhuan tribes and Yuan clan gathered here. Wuhuan plundered from Hebei, bringing in nearly 20 Han households, including the elderly and children, the population could reach 38 million. Don't take human life as life, but the population is a precious asset for any warlord!

Especially Wang Hou, who is even more salivating with greed.

In one day of bloody battle, Tadun's eight major tribes and one hundred thousand tent tribes gathered here were completely destroyed. But just after the journey was over, he was not even allowed to take a break, leaving the corpses of the prairie to feed the crows. Zhang Liao actually insisted on going straight to Liucheng March.

Don't say that people are not machines, even if people can resist, even if they fight for a whole day, horses can't stand it anymore!
And don't look at Zhang Liao's excellent command, the big guy is grateful for Wang Hou's kindness, he didn't earn much kindness. Hearing this, Xiahou Dun and the others were all blown up. In the end, it was Wang Hou who was a good guy to smooth things over. , rested for an hour, and promised that after arriving in Liucheng, each person would be given an extra piece of cloth as a reward, and only then did the army calm down.

Again, the soldiers were extremely fast, and they set off overnight, turned back from Bailang Mountain to the north, and ran for more than 200 miles again, before any Wuhuan tribes returned to Liucheng. Appeared outside Liucheng.

It's just that when he arrived at the place, Wang Hou, who had been bumped by the horse all night and had black eye circles shifted, couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.

Well said, Liucheng has 50 million households. Wang Hou thought it was some kind of strong city outside the Great Wall, but when he got there, he couldn't help being disappointed.

The location of Wuhuan Shanyuting is indeed dangerous. The city wall built along the mountain of Nurulhu Mountain is condescending and overlooks an alluvial plain. It looks quite spectacular, but its size is just like playing "The Witcher 3" The crow's nest fortress inside is similar, and even the architectural form is similar. The uppermost floor is the "imperial city" where Tadun and other princes Wuhuan lived. Wooden piles more than one and a half meters high are inserted on the one-meter-high earthen wall. The "imperial city" leads to the trenches dug between the "Liucheng" below, and further down is built with wood, and even many places directly use large leather tents and large felt bags as houses, where the dignitaries of Wuhuan live.

This size, only one to two to three hundred small houses, is not as big as a county in the Central Plains.

As for the truly precious things in Liucheng, the population plundered by the Wuhuan people over the years, and the population brought by the Yuan family, as well as the [-] tents belonging to Tadun who were descended from Wuhuan, were scattered on the huge impact plain.

These Han people who were taken captive to the Northland also went to do as the Romans did. They lived in yurts one by one, scattered like big mushrooms on the alluvial plain by the Dalong River.

Later generations Wang Hou had been to Hetuala, the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty. He didn’t understand the royal spirit, but he could see the peculiarity of this place when he got there. It was surrounded by hills and mountains, but there was a vast expanse of land in the middle of the hills. In the alluvial plain, a Suzi River runs through the entire mountain plain, and Hetuala City is located on the easternmost mountain platform of the alluvial plain, building the city along the rugged hillside, overlooking the entire valley plain.

The geographical environment here is roughly similar to that of Hetuala, except that it is twice as vast as Hetuala. The terrain is like a dustpan buckled on the ground, with its opening facing east. It is slightly inferior to Hetuala in terms of defense, but it is also It can be regarded as a land of bastards in the danger of mountains and rivers.

I arrived in the middle of the night. In the morning light, I watched the sun rise from the east and slowly shine into the Daling River Valley. The golden brilliance lit up the mushroom-like rugs piece by piece. Scattered and irregular, but the lush wheat is also dyed with a layer of golden light. On the mountain in the distance, there are circles and circles of sheep that are as white as clouds on the ground, lazily bathing in the sun, watching this scene, pinching their chins With a mustache on his face, Wang Hou couldn't help nodding his head.

Well, what a place!
This product is fancy.

The peace of Liucheng only lasted for half a morning, before it was disturbed by these uninvited guests. Suddenly, the Han army who appeared like wolves and tigers at the valley entrance of Liucheng caused panic in the whole tribe, shouting in panic, Wuhuan Shepherd Driven the whips and drove the herd of cattle to flee to the Liucheng Mountain Fort in the northwest direction, but the bigger fortress couldn't hold the [-] tents at all. Only some nobles of the tribe were let in by the defenders, most of them could only Shrinking under the wall in fear, watching from a distance.

As for the Han people, they seem to be much calmer. Is there anything worse than being plundered by the Hu people and sent to the north to be serfs?At first they also hid in dilapidated and small felt bags, but seeing that the Han army rushing over did not loot wantonly, these people slowly emerged again, watching from a distance like dumb geese, even Even more aggressive, he went to work in the field with a hoe on his shoulders.

Although he was in a hurry, when he arrived in Liucheng, even Zhang Liao couldn't help but relax. The reason why he was in such a hurry was to beat Wuhuan Shanyuting to death in the heat of chopping his head off!In case the running is slow, some of the tribes of the eight major tribes will come out and take the lead, leading the Wuhuan tribe to move westward and enter the territory of the Xianbei people on the Mongolian grassland, then it will be difficult!

But now, after arriving in Liucheng, and watching over the camps of these nomadic tribes, so that they can no longer move westward, the task is considered to be accomplished, as for the siege!Please, my lord, I'm a cavalryman, that's what infantrymen do!

More than 2 battle-scarred and outstanding Han cavalrymen were relaxed by him. Apart from leaving the necessary thousands of cavalry to guard the sentry, the rest turned over and dismounted directly. They were really exhausted to the extreme, and they curled up on their horses. Beside him, lying in the grass, the big men fell asleep one by one, and for a while, there were loud and clear snoring sounds everywhere.

Hearing the snoring, Wang Hou's eyelids started to fight, he was so tired!
