No one expected that the death of Baima Ulan not only failed to defeat the momentum of the Xiqiang people, but also inspired their fighting spirit. However, this fighting spirit was not caused by the leader-like figure of Baima Ulan being killed by Ye An.
They share the same hatred, but they are driven by fear.
On the fifth night of the continuous siege of Qingping Pass, the Xiqiang people finally retreated. This battle almost exhausted all the energy of both sides. Weiming Boshan was still frantically ordering the army to attack. In his opinion, the current Qingping Pass was
It's about to be broken.
However, the angry and sad Western Qiang people withdrew their troops at this critical moment. For no reason, such a long attack caused heavy casualties to all troops again. Two thousand people died in Qingpingguan City, and another
More than 2,000 people were injured, nearly 1,000 of whom were unable to fight anymore and were considered useless.
They still have to waste manpower to take care of these seriously injured tribesmen. There is no other way. If they dare to abandon them now, the remaining tribesmen will definitely attack them in groups.
But what made Weiming Boshan most frightened and angry was that at this time, the various tribes were still playing tricks on each other and using various means to annex the weaker tribes.
As for the Baima Tribe whose leader was dead, they were wiped out by all the tribes. It has to be said that the leaders of the Xiqiang tribes are very good at attracting benefits and inducements.
Even Weiming Boshan, who was good at strategizing, felt inferior after seeing these Western Qiang people "extremely capable of bribery".
Of course, even one person can see that Qingpingguan cannot withstand it. The Western Qiang people suffered a great loss, and the Song people also suffered a great loss. Although there were few deaths, the number of the Song army was also small!
Weiming Boshan knows what the Xiqiang people are doing now. They are accumulating strength for themselves. The more people die, the more wealth the living people will get. Everyone knows this but no one wants to point it out.
fact.
The current reorganization is not so much a rest for the army as it is the beginning of the gathering of the leaders of various departments to divide the benefits.
The White Horse Tribe, which was originally the most powerful group among the Xiqiang people, is now divided among various tribes. From warriors to wealth, those less famous people took their subordinates who originally belonged to the White Horse Tribe and defected to tribes that offered them higher prices.
.
Weiming Boshan smiled coldly, these are the Xiqiang people. The people below are ignorant, but the leaders above are calculating and calculating. They will do anything for their own interests, and are even willing to marry off their beautiful daughters.
For men who are as wild as a boar.
Overnight, the interests of all parties were actually satisfied. Of course, there were also people who were dissatisfied, but these people had turned into corpses that couldn't speak...
On one side was the Qingping Pass that had not yet been captured, and on the other side were the Xiqiang people who even killed their own people for profit. Weiming Boshan felt that the king's use of these Xiqiang people was really doing more harm than good.
But fortunately, Qingping Pass can be conquered tomorrow, which can be regarded as opening up the last route for Dangxiang to go south. As for those warriors who delayed the suppression of the Rong army, they can be regarded as worthy of death!
Weiming Boshan knew that the Song army could not be delayed for long. Fortunately, the Dingbian army was really useless. Just a false shot made them afraid to move forward. Otherwise, if there was Qingpingguan in front of them and Dingbian army behind them, these Western Qiang people would have fled.
.
As for Ye An, who is known as the "Devil General", he is a rare young talent. It is a pity that after the Qingping Pass is broken and left, this kid will probably be torn to pieces by this group of angry Xiqiang people, right?
The sun has not yet risen, and a ray of afterglow has just dyed the sky red. The Xiqiang people have begun to launch the final general attack on Qingping Pass. However, looking at it from a distance, the Xiqiang people felt a chill in their hearts. They found the city wall of Qingping Pass.
The place was full of people, densely packed like black armor draped over Qingpingguan.
It's just that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, and the Xiqiang people who had been working hard for so many days naturally would not give up. As for Weiming Boshan who saw all this, he felt happy in his heart. He knew that this was a sign of the Song army's end of the crossbow.
It is impossible to scare the current Xiqiang people with power!
However, after the Xiqiang army approached Qingping Pass three hundred steps, the Song crossbows did not "arrive as expected", and the locusts composed of bows and arrows did not appear when they approached the city. When the Xiqiang soldiers approached the city, they discovered that there was actually a
They're a bunch of straw men wearing cloth armor!
The Xiqiang people, who had been granted amnesty, finally calmed down and "slashed" the straw men on the city with their swords to vent their joy of surviving the disaster.
It's just that joy brings sorrow. Some of these straw men are pure straw men, and some are straw men with special "gifts". Hundreds of Xiqiang people climbed up the city wall and hacked at the straw men. At the same time, the flames suddenly
It appeared and quickly swallowed up the entire city.
The densely packed scarecrows almost filled the top of the city. They wanted to escape, but they were not as fast as the fire. The fast runner rushed down the city wall of Qingping Pass and rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames. The slow runner was already the same.
The scarecrow was burned to ashes.
A series of small traps are everywhere in Qingping Pass. The winch lifting the heavy city gate was cut in half. When the large group of people passed by, the thousand-jin gate that was lifted to the highest suddenly fell and killed several Xiqiang soldiers. It was also shattered.
I don’t know how many pairs of eardrums were damaged.
Every street had to be carefully swept with a spear before daring to move forward, because several people stepped into pits and were pierced by sharp wooden wedges on their insteps.
There is food and drink in Qingping Pass, but the Xiqiang people dare not drink well water, dare not eat dry food, and even dare not enter the house easily, for fear of being stabbed to death by an oncoming sharp knife as soon as they open the door.
The entire Qingping Pass is full of dangers. This is a "gift" left by Ye An and all the soldiers to the Xiqiang tribes before the Song army left. It is said that more than ten Xiqiang soldiers died that night just for convenience.
indivual…………
Weiming Boshan was very dissatisfied when he saw the wounded Xiqiang soldiers who were slowing down the army greatly. These people hindered the speed of the army passing through Qingping Pass and also hindered the speed of the army leaving the Jiulian Mountain Valley.
Many Xiqiang people were not even willing to chase and kill the fleeing Song army because they were afraid of the demon general of the Song Dynasty!
This is really a joke. Weiming Boshan never believed that Ye An was the demon general among the people of Xiqiang. If he really was a demon general, could he abandon Qing Ping? If he was really a demon general, should he withdraw?
But he soon saw how powerful Ye An was, and for the first time he felt despair about the future.
After nightfall, Qingping Pass finally fell into silence, but some people did not want to relax the Xiqiang people who were highly stressed after a tiring day.
On the cliff, rockets streaked across the night sky and landed in Qingping Pass. A fire completely turned Qingping Pass into an oven in this sultry summer.
The fire was so strong that the Xiqiang people did not know how to put out the fire. The Xiqiang soldiers guarding the grain and grass did not know how to put out the fire in a short time, but ran away screaming...
The fire spread, and the shocked Xiqiang people woke up and started shouting to put out the fire. Many people even saw the water basin and poured water on the flames, so a "fire dragon" rose into the sky.
