Baidaosai is a pure military fortress. There are no ordinary people inside, all are Zhao soldiers. There is no residential area, but there is a commercial area.
It was a military market where Zhao State and the Hu people traded. All income went to the Great Wall Guards, and it was considered one of the sources of military expenses for the Guards. There is more than one such military market, almost every fortress has one. Zhao's salt, wine, silk, etc. are cheaper, attracting barbarians to rush to buy them.
In addition, a small amount of bronze wares will flow out. Although the State of Zhao strictly prohibits selling weapons and armor to barbarians, there are always people who choose to take risks in the face of huge interests.
Hu people also like to trade in the territory of Zhao State. Although Zhao State collects some taxes, the advantage is that it is safe and there will be no gangsters and gangsters. Moreover, Zhao State is very friendly to Hu people who can speak Zhao dialect, unlike the Hu people. Hate each other.
However, during the war, Baidosai had been completely closed, and all the barbarians stayed away to avoid affecting themselves.
Li Mu was leading people to clean up the corpses outside the north gate. Just now, the Huns launched a charge and quickly retreated after leaving hundreds of corpses behind.
The weather is getting hotter. If these corpses are not dealt with in time, they will rot, stink, and even cause plague, which is far more terrifying than war.
"Regardless of whether they are dead or not, all corpses must be repaired with wounds." Li Mu ordered.
During the Battle of Changping, he witnessed a soldier's throat being slit by a rising Qin army while he was cleaning the battlefield. The companion next to him tried to rescue him but was also severely wounded. It took two or three people to kill him. .
Since then, Li Mu has developed a habit of staying vigilant no matter how injured the enemy is, and as long as his head is still there, he must make up for it with a blow.
"General, everything has been packed up. No one is alive." After a while, a soldier reported.
"Burn them all." Li Mu waved his hand and said, all of these corpses belonged to the Xiongnu, not Zhao Jun.
"promise."
As the torches were thrown down, soon, a line of black smoke rose, and the rich burning aroma spread far and wide...
"When I catch this Zhao general, I will use his head to make a wine vessel." Far away from Bai Daosai, a hunky Hun general pointed at Li Mu and said angrily.
The Huns like to drink, but they rarely use the drinking vessels of the Central Plains. Instead, they like to use the heads of their enemies as drinking vessels.
The higher the enemy's status and strength, the more they like it, and the higher the specifications of the wine vessel. The Huns will also rim it with gold, draw beautiful pictures on it, and bury it with him in the tomb after death and keep it underground. use.
"The general will definitely be able to kill him off his horse, and the wine contained in his head will be very delicious." A bastard nearby quickly complimented.
"Hahaha, I will give you a bite when the time comes." The Hun general laughed.
"Thank you, General." Goujizi said excitedly.
"Da da da," at this time, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, and another Huns army came over. The general at the head said loudly, "Niu Qing, what's going on? Didn't Shan Yu order you to attack Bai Daosai? You What are you still doing here?”
"What the hell, the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army is so troublesome that even Shan Yu can't do anything to him. How can I defeat him by myself? Before I even touched the city wall, I lost hundreds of brothers. I quickly retreated. Come back. If it weren't for Chanyu's order, I wouldn't have come to attack Baidaosai at all. What is Chanyu doing?" Niu Qing said dissatisfied.
"Chanyu has led his army to the west. He plans to go south from Langshan and attack Zhao State eastward along the river. The water and grass there are more fertile and can feed countless cattle and sheep. There is no need to worry about food problems, and there are no mountains to block us. The cavalry can exert a stronger advantage," Dadang said.
Langshan is a mountain range in the west of the Yinshan Mountains and in the northwest of the Hetao Plain. It was also the westernmost area that Zhao State could reach.
"What about us? Abandoned?" Niu Qing suddenly blew his nose and stared.
"We still need to hold Zhao Jun here to prevent Zhao Jun from discovering our army's intentions. Shan Yu said that after a period of time, we can withdraw our troops, bypass Zhao Jun, and go to Hetao." Dadang said.
"Where are our tribesmen?" Niu Qing asked.
"It's been settled," Dadang said.
Niu Qing curled his lips. The so-called resettlement was just to bring him to the Gutu tribe and serve as a hostage. Of course, the reason Shanyu gave was that it was easier to defend in this way.
However, Niu Qing just kept talking and actually didn't dare to fight against Gu Tu. The last person who fought against Gu Tu had his head turned into Gu Tu's drinking vessel, and he had to be played with by Gu Tu every day.
"The king wants you to monitor me, or should you join me in attacking Baidaosai?" Niu Qing asked.
"Of course I am monitoring you. The king has long been worried about you, but you are too weak to pose a threat, and you still have some force, so I have kept you." Dadang patted Niu Qing on the shoulder, "But I will be with you, I won’t let you pay alone.”
"Thank you so much, Chief Dadang." Niu Qing said gratefully. "Then shall we attack or retreat now?"
"Let's test it first. I haven't fought against this General Zhao yet." Dadang said.
The next moment, he led the army and rushed forward. Immediately afterwards, the war cloud, talent, instantly covered the entire army, and a terrifying aura emanated from the Huns army.
The army under Niu Qing's command suddenly shivered in fear and retreated, not daring to raise their heads and look at each other.
"Disgraceful thing." Niu Qing cursed angrily, wishing to drive all these men away. Although there was a special reason, it was too embarrassing to be scared like this. How could he hold his head up when faced with danger in the future.
Niu Qing looked at the army passing by with envy. This was one of the three most elite legions of the Xiongnu, the Disaster Legion. It is precisely because of this legion that the Dadang tribe became one of the three most powerful tribes of the Xiongnu, and even Gu Tu respected it very much.
"Chief Niu Qing, come with me to attack Zhao Jun." At this time, Dadang's voice came from the front.
"I'm with the leader Dadang." Niu Qing said, patting his chest.
…
"General, the Huns are here again." A scout came flying from a distance. It was too late to dismount and reported directly.
"The whole army obeys the order and forms a formation!" Li Mu yelled, and a bright light yellow light rushed from his body, covering all around like a goddess scattering flowers, connecting with all the soldiers, and with Bai Daosai. Together, together with the rolling war clouds in the sky, a more magnificent city was formed. On both sides of the city, a shadow in the shape of the Great Wall stretched out, connecting it with the Great Wall.
The atmosphere of the originally loose guard suddenly changed.
The inner energy of the same color appeared on all the guards, and the armor and weapons exuded a bright red light, which was extremely coquettish, as if they were dripping blood.
