Chapter 1124 Changping County Lord 72
The old woman specially gave her two kilograms of flour and two mutton leg bones, and asked someone to use a big ax to help her break the bones. In this way, you can still eat the bone marrow after making soup.
There are also two recruiters. Because they rush to the front and shoot arrows at the Xiongnu, they are really shooting face to face. They are rewarded with a constant amount of money, equivalent to one tael of silver, and they can also take other things of equal value. As a result, they all asked for things instead of money. After all, they had defended the city for a long time and had used up the remaining grain. The grain might not even be exchanged for gold.
As a result, the price was paid according to the original price, 220 Wen per stone of millet and grain, and 20 Wen per pound of mutton.
The two happily carried the rice bag and a leg of lamb home, making many people jealous along the way.
There are two meals a day, and there is meat for every meal. There is no room to sleep in the tent there, but there are thick quilts. You can also receive cotton-padded clothes and shoes, and receive a daily salary of one liter of millet. If you put in a lot of effort, you can get rewards. Now many people came to recruit soldiers.
Outside the North City Gate, a dozen soldiers pulled out arrows from the snow and corpses. It will be sent up later so that the next time the Huns open it, it will still be usable.
A group of people behind them lined up in a horizontal line, holding swords and guns, and stabbed each lying corpse of the Huns. In this way, even those who were still alive were basically dead.
While cleaning the battlefield, they would also search the corpses for anything valuable from time to time. This is the custom, and whatever is touched on the body belongs to that person. Otherwise, this little military pay would only be enough for food and clothing. When fighting a war, I just want to achieve military exploits and get something valuable so that I can take care of myself in my hometown in the future.
As for the corpse, just leave it like this, and no one cares about killing or collecting the corpse.
Uweida outside the south city gate received several more carts of supplies, which were sent by the Changping County Lord for trading. The number of things was the same as before, and trading had not stopped because of the war.
His tribe already had enough, but the head of Changping County still sent it... Uweida thought for a while, and looked far away instead of the near. Instead of sending the things to Huxie Maodun, he sent them to the tribe of the Khan.
At this time, news came from the North City Gate that Huxie Maodun was defeated!
Uweida sneered, saying that against the head of Changping County, it would be strange if he relied on Hu Xie Mao Dun, a reckless man, to not lose.
"Asshole, I must beat her down and throw this stinky woman into the tent. Every tent will do it again..." Along with the sound of smashing things, Huxie Maodun cursed and said all the ugly words.
A total of three thousand people were damaged inside, and many of them could not even recover their bodies. That damn county lord actually put the body at the city gate to serve as a city gate.
Three thousand people are dead, and there are more than 2,000 wounded soldiers. The arrow wounds were better, but the screams and pain of those who were burned could be heard throughout the camp.
Scolding is enough, but how to fight now? The strength of his men was exhausted. Although the entire blackened "obstruction" at the city gate was more fragile than the city gate, there were still a few who dared to break it open. When they walked up to it and saw what it was, they were even frightened. Have nightmares at night.
The staff came over and persuaded in a good voice: "Why should the eldest prince be angry? The top priority now is to attack the city. I heard that the Lord of Changping County has a lot of goods in stock. The merchant ships are full every month and the warehouses are full. This piece of fat can be Don’t fall into other people’s mouths!”
Huxie Maodun sat down angrily: "I think so too, but how can I beat someone like this?"
The extremely expensive kerosene was thrown down in whole cans; the arrows seemed to be shot in endless waves and fell like a torrential rain. The most annoying thing is the rain of kitchen knives flying towards me. This is the first time I see someone using kitchen knives as a battlefield weapon. Is it intentional or intentional?
The staff thought for a while and said: "We must win a battle first to increase our prestige and morale!"
"How to fight?" Huxie Maodun stared. He also wanted to win, but he had already seen the result of the fight, a disastrous defeat.
Three thousand people were thrown in and only one gate was breached. And there are three city gates there!
The staff laughed ferociously: "A strong attack is definitely not possible, so let's lure the enemy out..."
Xining looked at the sand table placed in the tent. Even in ancient times with such low productivity, the sand table made was quite decent. The city made out of mud mixed with water can be easily identified as the North City Gate. It only took a few days to make the city.
Xining, Xun Liao, and everyone above the centurion looked at the sand table. The deployment of troops on the sand table is very clear. Xining nodded: "As long as we attack again, we will continue to kill them according to this method. If you need anything, bring it to me for approval. I will send more people to step up patrols on weekdays. I will return to the South City Gate later."
Everyone saluted: "Here!"
They originally suspected that after a relieving battle, they would be convinced by the commander-in-chief of the county who was approved by the King of Han Dynasty.
The most important thing is that the county owner has a lot of supplies. I heard that he started preparing as soon as he arrived here after the canonization. It seems that the county leader has been preparing for war from the beginning.
"Report~" The messenger ran in, half-kneeling and saluted: "An enemy general stood on horseback in front of the city to provoke, asking our army to send generals to fight."
When Xun Liao heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "The general is willing to go and meet for a while, and he is willing to take his head and present it to the county master."
Xining looked disgusted: "What do I want with my head?"
Xun Liao suddenly choked.
Xining also looked helpless: "It seems I can't leave, so I'll stay and play with them."
Then he said with a serious face: "No fighting is allowed. Anyone who dares to leave the city gate privately will be killed! Even if he wins!"
Kill him even if he wins? It's so inhumane.
A strong-backed Huns, riding horses and leading a group of Huns soldiers, tried their best to ridicule in front of the city gate: "You Han people, listen to what a little bitch said, a man came out to fight with your grandfather. Come out, come out quickly, Grandson, come out quickly, don’t hide like a turtle..."
Xun Liao, who had gone up to the tower, was so angry that he went to the main tent and saluted directly: "The Huns have gone too far. The general can't stand listening anymore. Please go to war!"
The mayor of Changping County, who was leaning on the cushions, holding Tang Po in his arms and wearing a mink cloak, said in a long voice: "Who told you to listen? If your ears are good, go and pull out two balls of cotton and stuff them into your ears. ”
Xun Liao choked. Speaking for County Lord Mao always breaks through all cognition. He wants to go to war, but the way he is given is to plug his ears with cotton.
I heard the Lord of Changping County say leisurely: "From now on, those who go out to fight will be whipped fifty times."
Whipping requires taking off the clothes and being tied to a pole, and the whip makes a sound when it is turned. The slaps were slapped on the body, and after fifty lashes, the skin and flesh were torn. Compared with the military stick, whipping is more shocking and the punished loses face even more.
"Is there anything else?" the county leader asked. This is equivalent to saying that if nothing happens, you can go out.
Xun Liao could only salute and was about to leave.
Xi Ning said with a smile on his lips: "Go tell the guard. If you are angry, just curse back, but don't be upset. If you feel that you are close enough to hear clearly, you can shoot a few arrows to drive them away. If you dare to go out of the city gate privately, you will be killed. ! Don’t forget to give me fifty whips for those who fight!”
It was so gentle and soft that Xun Liao choked again.
Huxie Maodun's man cursed for two full hours, and then went back when he saw that it was almost dark. From now on, I would come over and scold him every day, and I would scold him every time I changed my shift.
