The people kneeling on the ground were officials from Xihai County and several military generals who had agreed to join the Yuwen family. They came to see Yuwen Jing early this morning. They had already made an appointment, because today was the day they were scheduled to evacuate Weiding City.
day. But what they didn't expect was that there were many people ambushing around the government office. One of them was captured, two of them were captured, and they all became prisoners in a daze.
But what puzzled them was that those who captured them were nomadic tribesmen, and some of the people standing at the gate of the government office were clearly wearing Sui military uniforms. When the gate of the government opened, Yu Wenjing was escorted out.
Only then did they understand what was going on.
Although Dong Heng was scared, he was not very panicked. He was waiting for the opportunity silently. Unlike several other generals, he was Yu Wenjing's subordinate before, and he had already connected with Yu Wenhuaji through Yu Wenjing.
That's why he was promoted to general without merit. Yu Wenjing also trusted Dong Heng very much and gave him command of the two thousand garrison in Weiding City.
Knowing that Weiding City was to be evacuated today, Dong Heng wanted to flatter Yu Wenjing. Last night, he arranged a team of cavalry to help Yu Wenjing move. The military camp is located in the northwest of Weiding City, and the sound of horse hooves comes from
It came from there.
Soon, a group of cavalry appeared on the road northwest of Fuya. It was indeed a group, not a team. Because these cavalry were noisy and had no queue at all. However, judging from their armor, it was indeed
There were also five hundred soldiers in the Sui Dynasty. This was exactly the rescue force that Dong Heng expected.
The two thousand garrison troops in Weiding City were originally infantry, but in such a large area as the West Sea, it would be impossible without cavalry. At first, Yu Wenjing had to go through Yu Wenshu to obtain 500 horses from Yang Guang. These 500 people can be said to be
It is already the entire cavalry force of Weiding City.
After Yu Wenjing became the prefect of Xihai, he didn't do much business and was busy making money. The Tuyuhun nobles who originally lived in Weiding City had already fled, but there were still a small number of Han businessmen and Han people who were attached to Murong Fuyun.
Come down. Among them is a Han Chinese surnamed Jin. It is said that he has won the trust of Murong Fuyun and has a fortune of tens of millions. Almost all of it was moved into the Prefecture by Yu Wenjing, and even his wife and children were taken over.
I heard that it was to help the prefect move, and all the cavalry in the military camp rushed over. This is a good and fat job. It can not only please the prefect, but also make some extra money. The prefect has made so much in such a short time.
I'm afraid he couldn't remember his property clearly, and even if a few pieces were lost, he wouldn't know. So all the five hundred cavalrymen came without missing a single one.
Dong Heng was stunned when he saw this posture. He just arranged a team of cavalry to help Yu Wenjing move, but he didn't want to transfer all the people. Although there are not enough people to deal with the group in front of him, as long as there is chaos here,
, he would have a chance to escape. The reason why he has survived dozens of battles, not because of how strong his martial arts is, but because he has mastered the skill of applying oil on the soles of his feet. But for Dong Heng, there are too many people.
Yes, maybe we can restrain the group of people in front of us and save Yu Wenjing, which would be a great achievement.
Regardless of the looseness of these cavalry, their riding skills are not worth mentioning. They can only be regarded as infantry on horseback. If this army fights alone with the group in front of them, it will definitely not be an opponent, but there are so many of them.
, is it easy to deal with the number 100 people in front of him? Dong Heng made up his mind and started to figure out which corner he should hide in when the two sides started fighting.
However, Dong Heng soon lost his joy. A group of cavalry also appeared on the road to the south. Although this cavalry team was not neat, they walked quietly on the road. Whether they were knights or
The war horses didn't make a sound. It was obvious that something had been wrapped around their hooves.
There were about 400 cavalrymen in this group, and they were the tribesmen who Liu Ziqiu had left outside the city to assist him. On his way back to the camp, Tuoba Qianyu found them specially and asked them to go into the city to help Liu Ziqiu. They were originally responsible for lurking missions.
Naturally, the horses had their feet bound. Although it was cavalry versus cavalry, the new cavalry were full of murderous intent and had already suppressed the infantry on horseback on the opposite side.
Seeing the reinforcements, Liu Ziqiu suddenly raised the Mo Dao in his hand high and shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Those tribal warriors also shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
If Liu Ziqiu wants to occupy Weiding City, he will inevitably clash with the garrison in the city, and casualties are always inevitable. But after all, they are all compatriots. Liu Ziqiu cannot bear to cause more killings, so he specially taught the tribal warriors a few phrases before setting off.
It's nothing more than "Don't kill those who surrender", "Put down your weapons", "Stop", "Don't move" and so on. Although the tribal warriors don't understand Chinese, these sentences are simple and easy to learn. When they shouted them after Liu Ziqiu, they actually sounded like
The appearance is decent and the momentum is amazing.
A scene that surprised everyone happened. The five hundred Sui soldiers actually jumped off their horses, knelt down on the roadside, and raised their hands to surrender! It turned out that these five hundred Sui soldiers on horses came here to help.
Yu Wenjing moved, many people didn't even bring weapons, how could they fight each other?
Being a soldier is a very good job. It not only has land allocated by the court, but also can be exempted from paying various taxes. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, for a long time, it was even stipulated that only Xianbei people could serve as soldiers. Of course, when
Soldiers have to go to the battlefield, and their lives may be in danger at any time. In the late Northern Wei Dynasty, it was precisely because too many Xianbei people died that Han people were allowed to serve as soldiers and enjoy the treatment of government soldiers.
These Sui infantrymen on horseback were soldiers from all over the country. They had wives, children, children, and fertile farmland and livestock at home. If they were fighting in their own hometown, they would still be willing to fight in order to protect their families and property. Now they have come to a place thousands of miles away.
Far away in the West Sea, how can one still be willing to fight tooth and nail?
Liu Ziqiu didn't expect that the Sui army would be so weak, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly. But this was good, at least it could avoid unnecessary deaths. Liu Ziqiu walked forward with the Mo knife, pointed at a Sui army soldier who was kneeling on the ground and said
: "You, go notify the others and ask them to come and surrender quickly, otherwise Liu will send his troops to kill them and tell them not to leave any trace behind!"
The soldier rolled away on horseback without even having time to ask who Liu Ziqiu was. This result disappointed Dong Heng, who also recognized Liu Ziqiu and became even more frightened. Liu Ziqiu was Zhang Shou's.
, and Zhang Shou had two trusted generals who were beheaded by him. Dong Heng could not wait to bury his head in his crotch, hoping that Liu Ziqiu did not see him.
But Liu Ziqiu's eyes were sharp, and he had actually seen this old acquaintance a long time ago, but at that time he also heard the sound of horse hooves and had no time to pay attention to this old acquaintance. Now, the situation around the government office has been completely controlled, and the remaining people in the city
The fifteen hundred infantrymen were unable to resist his nomadic cavalry no matter what. Liu Ziqiu finally had time to catch up with old acquaintances.
"Captain Dong, oh, no, I should call you General Dong Lang now." Liu Ziqiu nodded to Dong Heng. Two knights had already come forward, dragged Dong Heng out of the crowd, and escorted him to Liu Ziqiu.
Dong Heng knew he couldn't hide, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Brother Liu, no, General Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I'm afraid you don't want to see me." Liu Ziqiu laughed, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "You are Yu Wenjing's old subordinate, you are the one who gave him guidance behind his back, right?"
Dong Heng shook his head hurriedly and said: "No, no, I was tricked by him too."
"Hmph, wait until Liu asks Yu Wenjing if it is true!" Liu Ziqiu sneered, "If I find out that you lied, you will be lucky!"
The two herdsmen dragged the naked Yu Wenjing closer like a dead dog, but saw that Yu Wenjing's eyes were closed tightly and he was motionless. Yu Wenjing could hold his breath after such a big thing happened. Liu Ziqiu felt a little surprised.
I stretched out my hand to feel his breath, but he was no longer breathing. I didn't know whether he was frightened to death or frozen to death.
Even if Yu Wenjing were not dead now, Liu Ziqiu would not spare him. Although he died in a disgraceful manner, he still left a complete body. However, once Yu Wenjing died, Liu Ziqiu could not find out who the master was who was guiding him behind the scenes.
"Dig a hole outside the city and bury him!" Liu Ziqiu sighed, turned to Dong Heng and asked, "You really weren't the one who pointed him out?"
Dong Heng kowtowed repeatedly and said: "General Liu clearly knows that I just entered the city yesterday."
Liu Ziqiu thought that what he said was not bad, so he nodded and said, "Let me believe you for once."
Then a stone fell from Dong Heng's heart, and he plucked up the courage to ask: "Yuwen, what's wrong with Yuwen Jing?"
"He's dead!"
Dong Heng was shocked and said repeatedly: "General Liu, don't kill me. I, I am willing to hand over my military power and make my subordinates listen to you."
At this time, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps again from the northwest of the government office. The remaining more than a thousand Sui soldiers actually came to surrender. The garrison in Weiding City was not considered an elite even among the government soldiers. The five hundred
The famous cavalryman was already considered a general selected from among the dwarves, and the remaining soldiers were even more unbearable. They surrendered with just one word.
Although he controlled the entire Weiding City without a single battle, Liu Ziqiu's heart was filled with chills. Yu Wenjing was right. Murong Fuyun would definitely make a comeback after hearing the news of Yang Guang's death, and he would not
With only Murong Fuyun, there will also be Murong Kuaixing and other Xianbei tribes. And the new tribe under Liu Ziqiu's control can only raise two thousand cavalry, which is not enough to compete with Murong Fuyun.
Liu Ziqiu originally had high hopes for the Sui troops stationed in the West Sea and planned to find ways to use them as his own. However, the military discipline of the troops stationed at the West Sea Lake became increasingly lax despite the absence of the general, and large-scale group fights even occurred. The defenders in Weiding City
He was even more disappointed with the army, which was nothing more than a pile of mud that could not hold up the wall.
Dong Heng didn't want to follow in Yu Wenjing's footsteps and wanted to save his own life. Seeing Liu Ziqiu's serious expression, he couldn't help asking flatteringly: "General Liu, are you still worried about who is giving advice to Yu Wenjing behind his back?"
"Oh, you know?"
"The villain doesn't know, but the villain knows that there is someone who definitely knows."
