Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 36 The Herdsmen's Lament

The Xiongnu cavalry galloped towards the tribe, and when they were about to arrive, they suddenly heard a mournful and desolate song.A Hun cavalryman couldn't help crying in this song.The war horse seemed to sense the mood of its master, and had already stopped before it knew it.

Who made his relatives sing such a sad song, who brought such suffering to his relatives, and who made the iron-blooded man on the prairie shed tears.A Hun cavalryman subconsciously wiped away his tears.At the same time, there was a burst of sadness in my heart.

It's over, just now I and my comrades personally defeated those hateful enemies, relatives, why do you bother to be so sad.Gently patted the war horse, and slowly walked towards the direction of the tribe.

Although there were tens of thousands of cavalry at this time, the footsteps of the horses were extraordinarily light.It seemed that they were afraid that the noise would disturb their relatives in the tribe.

The tribal camp gradually revealed, those relatives who imagined cheering.At this time, he fell to his knees and was bound together by ropes.The enemies in red clothes and red armor were holding swords on their necks.

I was stunned for a moment, the weapon in my hand had room to fall, why, why are there still enemies here?Why are my relatives held hostage by swords?Could it be that the enemies that I and my comrades defeated just now were all fake?Or is it just a false dream.

At this time, Sun Buer came out of the tribal camp, and immediately raised his arms.A cavalryman bent his bow and set an arrow, pointing at the bound herdsmen.

Seeing such a scene, a Hun cavalry almost collapsed, why gave hope in despair, and let this hope turn into greater despair.God, have you abandoned, children of the prairie?

Seeing that the cavalry almost collapsed, the commander sighed dejectedly, the enemy is really calculating.At this time, the sound of horseshoes came out from behind, and Zhao Wuming led the army to follow.

The herdsmen just kept singing dirges without saying much.For the upcoming fate, it seems to be handed over to the hidden existence on the grassland.

There are dirges in front, and enemy cavalry in the back.In addition to the hard work along the way, and the inner torture.A Hun cavalry could no longer bear the tremendous pressure, and with tears in his eyes, he got off his horse and fell to his knees to show his surrender.

This move seemed to remind the people around. A Hun cavalry followed suit and knelt down with tears in their eyes.

In an instant, tens of thousands of cavalry fell to their knees, and the commander only felt infinitely desolate, patted the horses and walked slowly towards the front.Then he straightened his clothes, got off his horse and knelt down to Sun Buer: "I am waiting for a surrender, and I only ask you to spare our relatives' lives."

There was silence as soon as the voice fell, Zhao Wuming came riding from behind with Zhang Liang and those personal soldiers.

"The lord's subordinates are lucky to live up to their fate."Sun Buer hurriedly got off his horse and saluted respectfully.

Zhao Wuming nodded, then dismounted and walked to the commander-in-chief: "You want to beg for surrender?".

"If we can spare the lives of those herdsmen in our tribe, we will naturally surrender."As the general of the defeated army, the commander did not dare to raise his head, and answered quickly after hearing Zhao Wuming's voice.

There was a smile on the corner of Zhao Wuming's mouth. After working so hard for so long, it was finally time to reap the rewards: "What you say is unfounded, do you have something that can prove that you are sincerely begging for surrender."

"When we returned to the army, we once asked for help from the medium-sized tribe located in the southwest of our tribe. After calculating the time, we may have already fought with the army in front."The commander originally wanted to refer to the enemy army, but found that it was inappropriate, so he could only use the first two words instead.

The smile turned into nothingness in an instant, and another medium-sized tribe came, and Zhao Wuming's eyes gradually became sharper: "Look up, tell Gu that this is absolutely true."

"Having reached this stage, how dare the villain deceive me."The commander quickly explained, looked up at Zhao Wuming, only to find that the enemy's general was so young.

Zhao Wuming subconsciously looked at Zhang Liang beside him. Zhang Liang thought for a moment and looked at the commander: "If one thing can be done, the city lord can agree to your terms of begging and surrendering."

"What is it?".The commander hurriedly asked, after all, it was a matter of the life and death of the tribe, so he had to take it seriously.

Zhang Liang smiled without words, but looked at Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming seemed to have realized it, and then looked at the commander: "If you can pick up your weapons and transfer your horses, and go to the front to support the general, I will believe that you are sincerely begging for surrender."

"This, the subordinate takes the order."The commander hesitated for a while, but seeing that the life and death of the entire tribe was in the hands of others, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only endure it silently.

A Hun cavalryman picked up the weapons that had been thrown on the ground, stood up straight and got on his horse. After a while, a huge Hun phalanx appeared in front of him.

"Ding... You can accept the surrender of the medium-sized Hun tribe."

"Ding... Xiao He, the Prime Minister of Hancheng, heard that the medium-sized tribes surrendered. He wanted to send officials here, but he had to give up because of the impassable road. At the same time, he advised the city lord to send troops to suppress the surrender and rebellion. After the road is clear, before sending officials Come".

Seeing that the Xiongnu cavalry had assembled, Zhao Wuming turned his gaze to Sun Buer: "I ordered you to guard the tribe here, and after the army returns triumphantly, hand it over to the officials sent by the prime minister to manage it."

"promise".Sun Buer bowed to accept the order, and then glanced towards the direction of the tribe's garrison.The cavalry of the Han army seemed to have received an order, their swords were sheathed, and their arrows were taken from their bows.

Seeing this, the Hun cavalry breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Wuming saw that his goal had been achieved, and immediately ordered to the Hun cavalry in front: "Since you have surrendered, I will take you as the front army and support the general."

"Lead the order".As soon as the words fell, the war horse neighed, and tens of thousands of Hun cavalry rushed in the same direction as they were coming and going.

Looking at the Hun cavalry going away, Zhao Wuming was thoughtful.Sun Buer seemed to have thought of something, and then he looked in the direction of the Hun cavalry running: "My lord, those Hun cavalry are already exhausted. Not only do they not rest at this time, but they make them rush all the way. Is there something wrong?"

"Repair? It's not too late to repair when they get to the place. Sun Buer, don't forget, they are [-] cavalry, and it is not appropriate to be too close to the tribe."Zhao Wuming didn't have such considerations, it's just that they are too close to the tribe, once they regain their strength, it's hard to say what will happen.

Zhang Liang showed a slight smile, looked at Sun Buer, and pointed to the herdsmen who were tied up with ropes: "Can Commander Sun untie them? Since they have surrendered, they are also considered my citizens in Seoul."

"What the military division said is true."Sun Buer walked into the tribe, and then the cavalry of the Han army untied the ropes on the herdsmen one after another.

Zhao Wuming felt that the time was almost up, so he walked towards the horse, and Zhang Liang also followed after seeing this: "Send the order and return to help the general."

"promise".As soon as the words fell, Zhao Wuming swung his whip heavily, and led [-] cavalry to the place where Han Xin fought.
