As a result, Linjun summoned the leaders of various tribes of Linjun who came with him to fight in the outer city government office hall, as well as the leaders of other ethnic groups who followed him.
For example, the leader of the Ju people was among them.
"Everyone."
It was getting bright at the moment, and the sun's rays were a bit dazzling.
But in Lin Jun's heart, he was extremely anxious.
This anxiety was naturally revealed from his expression.
He didn't waste any time and said straight to the point: "Although Cheqi City has been captured, the inner city has been unable to be attacked. If we delay in Cheqi City, we may attract the Han army to attack. For us, , things will become very unfavorable!”
He directly stated the depravity of the situation.
However.
There are still relatively few people who are as far-sighted as Lin Jun and can know the danger in advance.
For example, his subordinate Lin Junhou said with a smile: "Don't disturb me, Your Majesty. It's just an inner city. What can we do if we spend a few more days? We can also plunder in the Chariot City, and we can plunder in the Chariot City." After that, we can go out of the city to plunder the people who have settled in the plains, and it will not be a problem for three to five days."
"snort!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Jun snorted immediately.
Lin Jun now clearly knows the virtues of his subordinates.
Four words: rabble.
After entering Chaqi City, no one came to attack the inner city, and everyone wanted to rob the people.
If he hadn't killed dozens of people in a row and calmed the situation, these barbarians would have gone outside the city to fight.
"We are teachers of justice, how can we do such an unjust thing? If we want to rule Badi in the future, we need to have a good reputation among the people."
"Your Majesty, the Banzhen barbarians and our Linjun barbarians are feuding. How can we gain a good reputation among them? How about turning them into slaves like the Han people for us to drive around. If there are too many slaves, how can we gain a good reputation among them?" How great would it be to use them to exchange treasures with the Han people?"
This vision is just that.
"If we cannot attack the inner city of Chaqi City before the Han army comes, then we will have the only option of withdrawing our troops. With this sneak attack on Chaqi City and the defense map of the city, we may not have an opportunity like today again in the future. Yes, do you really want to be driven into the mountains by the Han people for the rest of your life?"
Life in the mountains is definitely not as good as in the city.
The wooden houses in the mountains are damp and not as comfortable as the stone houses of the Han people.
Moreover
There are many things in the city that they cannot usually enjoy.
They just stayed in Cheqi City for less than two days, and they didn't want to leave this place.
The leader of the Ju people stepped forward at this time and said: "Langzhong is a hundred miles away from Chaqi City. It will take at least ten days to come back. Now we have only been attacking the city for a day and a half, and there is still a lot of time."
Lin Jun glanced at the Ju people leader and said: "We do have ten days, but can we really capture the inner city within ten days? Moreover, before the Han army comes, the city cannot be repaired, and the chariot city cannot be defended." Stay, in addition, we and you are planning a surprise attack, but we can't let the Han army react. If it does, it will not only be tens of thousands of Han troops in Langzhong, but also the Han troops in Chengdu, the Han army in Jiangzhou, and the Han army in Hanzhong. Even if we can defeat tens of thousands of Han troops, can we defeat 100,000 Han troops or even 200,000 Han troops?"
Not to mention one hundred thousand Han troops, in fact, if the Han army reacted, it would be 20,000, and they would be able to beat them to pieces.
Time is really important to them.
"Your Majesty, what's there to be afraid of? When we take over the chariot city, mobilize the Shanlinba people, and recruit the Tao people, the number will be 100,000!"
One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand.
But compared with the one hundred thousand of the Han army, who is more beneficial?
This goes without saying.
"If we can't capture the inner city within two days, I will retreat!"
withdraw?
Hearing this, everyone was surprised.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. Now is not the time to retreat. Are you going to retreat without fighting the Han people?"
"Yes, the Han people have so many good things, how can they give up the strong city of Cheqi City like this?"
"If we retreat, we really have no chance of becoming the masters of Badi."
“Your Majesty, don’t be frightened by the Han people!”
Everyone said they disagreed with Lin Jun's retreat.
joke!
If we evacuate, what will happen if the things looted from the city cannot be transported away?
And even if these plundered things are transported away, they can only enjoy it for a while. After this period, will they have to live the same life as before?
This is definitely not what they want.
Furthermore, now that there is no sign of the Han people, they are retreating?
This is so embarrassing to the Tiger God.
If this is the case, can we still call ourselves forest warriors?
It's better to call him a mountain coward.
The Ju people's leader's eyes flickered and he hurriedly said to the side: "The Han army will come and go for at least ten days. Why should the king be afraid?"
By now, the leader of the Ju people had completely trusted what Sima Yi had said to him when he left.
He was right, the burly prince was obsessed with women, and this was indeed an act.
It was just as he expected. How could a young hero like a burly prince be misled by a woman?
This time Chaqi City deliberately let them attack, in order to attract the barbarian army to Chaqi City.
He already had this premonition in his heart.
Around Cheqi City, there are already traces of the Han army. As the waiting time gets longer and longer, the encirclement set up by the Han army will become smaller and smaller, and more and more indestructible.
What he can do now is to keep Lin Jun!
"My king is not afraid, but the Han people are treacherous. Originally, it was said that the Han soldiers in this chariot city had no fighting spirit. However, from what I saw, their morale was strong, and the things that defended the city did not seem to have been prepared suddenly, but With careful preparation, we may have fallen into the Han people’s trap.”
Falling into a trap?
"This is impossible. Your Majesty, please don't be frightened."
"snort!"
Lin Jun looked at these people coldly and snorted.
There is no shortage of tricks and strategies!
Nothing good will happen if you stay with these losers.
He has already decided.
If the inner city cannot be captured within two days, they will retreat.
If the inner city cannot be attacked, no matter how well the chariot city is repaired, it will not help.
When the Han army comes to attack, how can Cheqi City be defended by cooperating with the Han army in the inner city?
"Each tribe sends a thousand troops. If anyone dares to send out the old and the weak, I will attack and kill whose tribe!"
Everyone was so angry when they saw Lin Jun that they hurriedly beat their chests and accepted the order.
Ever since.
Each tribe sent troops one after another, and soon, tens of thousands of barbarian troops gathered outside the inner city.
This time their siege became more orderly.
A thousand people form an echelon.
Attack the city in turn.
For every thousand people, attack the city for one hour. After one hour, another army will attack the city.
Lin Jun's direct bodyguards roamed on the edge of the battlefield, acting as law enforcement teams. If anyone dared to retreat or fish in troubled waters, they would step forward and cut off their heads.
Round after round of sieges, the city was always in danger, as if it would be captured at the next moment.
But this was in danger, as if the Han people in the city deliberately let the people below the city see it.
It's so precarious, but it can't be conquered.
One day has passed.
Each tribe has taken turns several times, and more than two thousand corpses were thrown under the inner city, but the inner city still cannot be captured.
"I'm afraid this is really a trap of the Han people."
The siege lasted more than two days.
But the defensive equipment in the inner city seems to be inexhaustible.
Whoosh whoosh~
The arrows were like locusts, shooting towards the barbarians under the city in a steady stream.
Boom boom boom~
Specially made rolling logs often caused heavy damage to the Han troops under the inner city.
Huhuhu~
When the fire oil was poured down, the fire seemed to burn for three days and three nights.
The entire Cheqi City seemed to have experienced a catastrophe, and the gaps in the inner city wall were like torn wounds. Buildings in the city were destroyed, and the streets were filled with smoke and dust.
Under the city wall, the bodies of many soldiers were lying scattered.
Their clothes were in tatters and their skin was burned black by the fire caused by the oil. The body was twisted, obviously experiencing endless pain and struggle before death. Some of the remains were so mutilated that it was difficult to identify them.
Their bodies were covered in dust and blood. Some people's wounds have solidified, while others are still struggling in pain, calling the names of their companions.
Broken tiles and collapsed walls can be seen everywhere on the streets of the city. Some buildings were still burning, sending black smoke filling the air.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Jun's face became even more ugly.
This is definitely a Han trap.
If not, how could there be so many defensive equipment in the inner city?
It was as if this had been anticipated in advance.
Lin Jun already wanted to retreat now.
But since he said so eloquently that he would attack the city for two more days before leaving, tomorrow's one-day attack on the city must be completed before the attack can be completed.
actually
Now he is unwilling to withdraw if he is asked to do so.
You were still thinking about your ambitions before, but now you want to run away like a lost dog?
What would his subordinates think of him?
How can he convince the public?
Phew~
Lin Jun slowly exhaled a breath, and his closed eyes suddenly opened.
Just fight for one more day!
——
It was late at night.
Chariots and horsemen ride in the barbarian tent outside the city.
Specifically, it was in the Ju people's military tent.
There are more than 20,000 barbarian soldiers who followed Lin Jun this time. Of course, it is impossible for more than 20,000 people to crowd into the chariot city at once.
plus
Such a good thing as plundering the city would definitely not be the turn of subordinate tribes like them.
They stand in the first row when it comes to bleeding, but they stand in the last row when eating meat.
Sometimes, I can’t even take a sip of soup.
If not, the Ju leader would not have been easily persuaded by the Han envoys to rebel against Na Linjun.
The Ju people were in the large tent of the Chinese army.
We have a special guest at the moment.
This guest was dressed in local clothes, but he spoke Chinese.
The leader of the Zhu people knew who he was.
It was the Han envoy who persuaded him that day.
"The angel is here, what are your orders?"
Seeing the envoy coming, Ju Ren suddenly felt that a backbone had arrived.
He wanted to make meritorious deeds and be rewarded by the prince of Han Dynasty.
but
No one came to tell him how to accomplish this feat, so he could only sigh in despair. Fortunately, the messenger came.
"I don't dare to obey the orders. I'm here to give the chief a fortune."
Wealth?
The leader's eyes flashed and he asked: "Angel doesn't have to play riddles with me anymore. What kind of wealth is this? What kind of things do you want me to do?"
The Han envoy smiled and said: "This matter is very simple. I want you to guard the four gates of Cheqi City."
Guard the four gates of Cheqi City?
What does this mean?
"Aren't the Han troops coming to attack? How can I defend the city?"
The Han envoy continued: "Tonight, the Han army around Cheqi City will take action. They will first cut off the barbarian troops around Cheqi City. However, it will be difficult to completely annihilate these barbarian troops. Naturally, there will be some The chief’s task is not to let these people escape and let them inform the barbarian chiefs in the city about the situation outside the city.”
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Ju people already knew what his mission was.
The Han army killed the barbarian chiefs outside the city, and the few remaining barbarian soldiers who were lucky enough to escape were left to them to kill.
This was a deal made in advance, and Ju Ren didn't have any psychological burden for the Chaoba people to stab him.
"In that case, I'll start arranging it right away."
The Han envoy nodded and said with a smile: "If you can keep Lord Lin here and wipe out all the 20,000 barbarian troops in the chariot city, the chief will have accomplished a great feat. My Highness has already said that he will be here." A piece of land is designated in Badi as the clan land of the Ju people. The Ju people are exempted from half of the tax, become a member of the Shangsi people, and can serve as officials in the court."
Since it is the second and fifth generation, it is natural to give the benefits to the second and fifth generation.
After the blood and fire war in Badi, it is appropriate to show some goodwill.
He is here to build up Berkshire, not to destroy it.
True Records of Taizu: He who reduces his enemies to a few will make his friends many.
This is the policy that can ensure long-term peace and stability.
"In this case, the little chief will naturally serve His Highness to death!"
The Ju people have been oppressed by the Linjun barbarians for a hundred years, and by the Banchen barbarians for thousands of years. Now it is finally time to stand up.
No one wants to be a second-class citizen. Why should they do the dirtiest work and get the least benefits?
"Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate!"
The Han envoy beat his chest and saluted the Ju people.
This can be considered as doing as the Romans do.
"Can the envoy stay here?"
He shook his head and said: "There are many people with mixed eyes. If I stay here, I will probably bring you trouble."
As he said that, he immediately bowed his hands to the leader of the Ju people, and slowly walked out of the main tent of the Chinese army. After leaving the Ju people's camp, he disappeared from everyone's sight after making three twists and turns.
Seeing this, the leader of the Ju people immediately summoned all his cronies to the main tent of the Chinese army.
"Ju Han, Ju Chu, and Ju Han, each of you three will lead 300 men and station outside the west gate, north gate, and south gate of the chariot city. Send out scouts to explore the cavalry. If anyone flees into the city from a distance, kill them without mercy. !”
The three big Ju men nodded immediately.
This matter is related to the rise and fall of the Ju people, and they have already placed their treasure on the Han people.
now.
You can only move forward, not backward!
"Don't worry, Patriarch, no one can enter the city alive as long as we are here!"
From now on, Cheqi City will be a city that can only be exited but not entered.
soon.
The attacking barbarians in the city will become lambs to be slaughtered.
And they Ju people will become the most popular people in Badi, second only to the Han people.
The day to turn around is today!
As for Liu Chan.
If we could wipe out all the Linjun barbarians and those disobedient barbarians in Chaqi City.
So
There will no longer be an organized barbarian army in the entire Ba County, as well as in the mountains and forests of Nan County.
Whether he wants to manage the mountains or make other more drastic reforms.
At this moment, the people of Badi have no choice but to accept their fate.
Without fists and force, isn't it just a lamb to be slaughtered? (End of chapter)
