"These are the soldiers and horses of the Hu people, preparing for war." Gaohe hurriedly beat the war drum.
Gao Miao opened his mouth so wide that he could barely close it. He could almost fit a duck egg into it.
He licked his dry lips and asked puzzledly: "How did the barbarians cross the river? There are no boats here."
"What are you talking about? Get ready for battle immediately." Gao He glared at him and shouted loudly.
Gao Miao immediately mounted his horse, took a spear, and ran towards the direction of the cavalry attack with his own soldiers.
Boom, boom, boom, Zhao Ping led the security regiment of 10,000 cavalry and rushed towards Dali Kingdom.
Behind them were five thousand cavalry from Qi State, with the goal of Jiuhe.
Jiuhe is also a county town, but it is much larger than Huichuan, with a radius of twenty miles.
It is not like Huichuan, which is a city wall or an earth wall, but a real city wall built of stone.
Although it is not five feet tall, it is still three feet tall.
It is the northwest gateway of Dali City, about four hundred miles away from Dali City.
It is surrounded by four mountains, namely Yulong Mountain, Lion Mountain, Elephant Mountain and Jinhong Mountain.
Although Dali State attaches great importance to this, the owner of this county is not named Duan or Gao, but Mu.
Mu'aliang is a chief. This tribe is very large, with a population of almost 100,000.
Although Dali is also a country, its court only really controls places such as Dali City and Yaozhou.
Compared with the Song Dynasty court, its control over local areas was much weaker.
The chiefs of these tribes are hereditary and cannot be appointed directly. At most, they can only station troops.
Although Jiuhe was not far from the imperial court, his control over it was not as great as imagined.
In the chief's study, Mu Aliang was receiving a guest.
Mua Liang is about fifty years old, with not much gray hair.
His skin was very dark, his eyes were bright, and he looked very energetic.
Mu'aliang has high cheekbones, thick limbs, well-developed muscles, and dark and thick eyebrows.
This guest is a Han Chinese, wearing military uniform, and is obviously a businessman.
The businessman is slightly fat, not tall, and always has a squinty face.
However, if you look closely, you will see that this person's eyes are constantly flashing, and it is obvious that this person is not a good character.
Mu Aliang was very polite to the businessman and asked him to sit on the left while he sat on the right.
The left is respectful, the right is humble, obviously not ordinary politeness, Mu Aliang's attitude is extremely respectful.
The Han people have a very high status in Dali Kingdom, but they are not so high-ranking.
You know, this is a businessman who condescends to a chief. He is obviously not an ordinary person.
The businessman nodded, raised his chin, and finally said: "When the matter is completed, the prince will make you the general manager of Lijiang."
"Thank you, Prince." Mu Aliang bowed towards the north and said extremely solemnly.
The businessman nodded, his eyes almost narrowed into slits, obviously extremely satisfied.
Mu'aliang is a chief and cannot control the area around Jiuhe.
Now the other party has appointed him as the general manager of Lijiang, directly expanding his jurisdiction several times, which makes him unhappy.
The next day, Atahai personally beat the war drum and ordered 10,000 troops to attack Jiuhe.
The Hu people did not bring Lu Gong's chariot this time, but only relatively simple siege equipment such as cloud ladders, flying ladders and trench bridges.
With the help of thousands of sharp arrows, thousands of barbarians built trench bridges and built moats.
After the trench bridge was erected, there was a lot of people shouting and cattle and horses running, pulling the ladder.
The barbarians roared at the top of their lungs, resisted the flying ladder, and ran ahead.
Seeing that the opponent only had 10,000 troops and insufficient siege equipment, Gao Tong couldn't help but smile coldly.
The book of war says: attack an enemy five times and encircle it ten times.
Now, with only the same troops and horses, the other party attacks. Isn't this someone who is going to die?
Gaotong smiled coldly and shouted: "Fire the arrow."
Whoosh, whoosh, both sides shoot at each other.
Suddenly I heard a loud bang, as if the door was opened.
Gao Tong felt strange as to why he heard this sound coming from the city gate under his feet.
A centurion, covered in blood, stumbled over and said, "General, it's bad, Mu'aliang rebelled. He opened the city gate, let the barbarians in, and led his troops to attack us."
Gao Tong's eyes almost fell out of his sockets, but he was the commander after all and calmed down quickly.
"Hold on tight, reinforcements will arrive soon." He shouted to the centurion.
Gao Yuan was the deputy general. He couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. Why did Dali have reinforcements? Could it be the prime minister?
However, the Prime Minister was still in Jinsha River. He heard that he was fighting with another group of Hu soldiers and horses, and there were no soldiers or horses to support him.
It is even more impossible to hope that reinforcements will come from Dali City.
The Gao family is extremely protective of the Duan family, and Dali City doesn't have many heavy troops at all.
But he couldn't say it out loud. If he said it out, he would support the morale of the military.
To shake the morale of the army, this requires execution on the spot.
Thinking of this, he tried to cheer up and wave his weapons.
"Follow me and kill the rebels." Gao Yuan roared and led his soldiers to attack an enemy.
After running for about a hundred steps, I saw a group of rebels, about a thousand people, coming from the stone steps below the city gate.
The person taking the lead was none other than Mu Aliang.
Holding a broadsword on one side and an iron shield on the other, he rushed up the stone steps.
Gao Yuan was stuck on the door of the city wall above the ladder, and was furious: "Equipe, you betrayed Dali, come and die."
After saying that, he swung his sword and slashed at Mu Aliang.
Seeing Gao Yuan, Mu Aliang blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Kill the high-ranking thieves and welcome the heavenly soldiers." After all, Mu'aliang was the chief and reacted very quickly. Not to be outdone, he shouted loudly.
The city gate opened wide, and the barbarians shouted loudly and poured in through the city gate.
The barbarians were like a wave, originally splashing towards the city wall.
Now the city gate is like an exit, and people are rushing here.
Atahai beat the war drum desperately and couldn't help laughing: "Gaotong, you didn't expect that Mu Aliang rebelled. Today next year will be your death anniversary, unless you run away."
As soon as the words fell, there was a rumble, a rumble, a rumble, and the ground shook.
Atahai couldn't help but be overjoyed. Could it be that Kublai Khan's troops had already crossed the Jinsha River to support him?
Just now, Atahai didn't have a complete chance of winning. Now with Kublai Khan's troops, he is absolutely sure to kill Qualcomm.
As soon as Atahai finished speaking, Lieutenant General Adli's eyes almost fell out of his sockets. He pointed into the distance and said, "General, what kind of monster is there?"
Atahai couldn't help but look towards the place where the earth was shaking, and saw dozens of human-shaped iron monsters rushing over on war horses a mile away.
The sun is shining brightly today, and these tin monsters are dazzling with their sparkle.
Atahai took a breath of cold air and was at a loss. He looked like a clay and wood sculpture, with his mouth wide open and almost unable to close it.
However, he reacted very quickly and said immediately: "It is indeed a monster. It doesn't look like it belongs to Dali. Could it be a monster from the security team?"
"It can only be from the security team." Adli took a breath of air and took a few steps back.
Atahai had a thousand soldiers and did not participate in the siege.
However, they all look like clay and wood sculptures, with their mouths wide open and almost unable to close.
"Give me an attack." Atahai was extremely angry. "What are you doing? Go to me and attack."
The captain of the soldiers was Asuye, and he did not dismount.
He waved the machete in his hand and shouted: "Kill, kill, kill."
After saying that, he clamped his war horse and started to kill the iron-skinned monster.
The other soldiers reacted at this time, immediately mounted their horses, and started to kill the iron monster.
During a cup of tea, the Hu soldiers that Asuya brought with him finally collided with the iron monster.
Asu also waved his machete fiercely and struck the iron monster, making a clanking sound.
Asuye held a sword in his hand, but it did not cut through the iron-skinned monster, leaving only a faint knife mark.
At the same time, the opponent's spear swung over and stabbed him hard.
He waved the sword in his hand desperately to block the opponent's spear, making a clanging sound.
"Arrow bows, cavalry bows, cavalry bows." Asuye resisted while shouting at the top of his lungs, "They came from a long way, and the men and horses were tired, so they were dragged to death."
Hearing Asuye's words, the deputy captain Amen shouted loudly: "Spread out, spread out, mount and shoot, mount and shoot."
After saying that, he led his own body, and while letting the war horse retreat, he opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at the iron monster.
Amen shot an arrow, and then realized something was wrong. The arrow in his hand hid on the iron monster, and fell with a clang, leaving no trace.
Seeing the iron monster rushing towards him, he didn't panic and hurriedly got out of the way.
He saw that the other party's men and horses were panting, obviously after a long journey.
And his horse has been staying here, almost not moving.
One traveled a long distance and the other stayed still. It was obvious that his men and horses had the upper hand in energy.
He did not dare to fight head-on with the opponent, and kept harassing the opponent with his bow and horse. As long as the opponent's horse was exhausted, he would naturally win the final victory.
The person rushing in front was He Shude, a cavalry general.
Indeed, they ran desperately to save Jiuhe.
Fortunately, they caught up with the barbarians to attack the city and had time to save the county.
The other party wanted to use the advantage of their horses to tire out their own horses. How could he not see that?
He smiled coldly, took out another weapon in his hand, and pointed it at Amen.
