Chapter 333 The outbreak of war
"Folks, the barbarians are about to go south to hunt the grass valley. Master Chen ordered to recruit eight thousand young and strong men to defend the city. The monthly payment is three taels of silver. Those who unfortunately died in battle will compensate their families with 200 taels of silver. Heroes who intend to defend the city should go to the county immediately. Ya sign up!"

One by one, the yamen servants ran across the street, beating the gong vigorously, and yelling loudly.

Relying on more than 1000 soldiers, more than 200 policemen, and watchmen, bearers, government servants, etc., there are only more than 500 people. Even with mines and hand grenades, it is difficult to defend the county with four gates.

Although most of the Hu people would not attack from Jinghe County, it is always right to take precautions before they happen.

What's more, every time the barbarians came to invade, the common people would volunteer to help the soldiers defend the city.

"Three taels of silver a month, done!"

"If you fight hard, even if you die in battle, you will still be compensated with 200 taels of silver."

"Master Chen keeps his word, do it with him!"

Young and middle-aged people rushed to the county government office one by one.

Some people were afraid of the barbarians and had already left through the south gate. However, more people were still waiting in the city.

Once you leave Jinghe County, your own house and land will be confiscated by the county government.

Without land, house, and money, the farther you go, the faster you die!

Now in the county town, there are 10,000+ people gathered, and the county government only recruits 8000 people, so if you go late, you will have no chance.

In less than half a day, the [-] young and strong people who participated in the defense of the city were recruited one by one.

"Master Chen, there are more than 1 young and strong outside the county government... They also want to help us defend the city." Ma Wencai said.

"Incorporate them into the reserve team and be responsible for transporting supplies, and the monthly payment is one tael of silver." Chen Yu said.

"Yes, Lord Chen." Ma Wencai nodded in response.

The barbarians in the grassland come and go as quickly as they come. If you stick to it for two or three months, the barbarians will retreat.

Although there are more than 300 million Hu people on the grasslands in the north, those Hu people do not belong to a tribe.

The population of the Great Xia Empire was more than 3000 million. If there were not strong enemies around, the Hu people in the north would have been exterminated long ago.

There are more than 100 Hu tribes in the north, and the Yuan and Qiang tribes are currently the strongest, followed by eighteen large tribes...

Every time the invasion goes south, it appears that a certain tribe is under the unified command, but in fact it is not. Once an opportunity is found, the eighteen large tribes will lead the small and medium-sized tribes under their command to take the opportunity to attack and plunder.

When food is plentiful, Hu people will do business with Daxia people, and when food is scarce, Hu people will go south to hunt grass valleys.

The successive Emperors of Great Xia wanted to wipe out the Hu people, but unfortunately the grasslands are too big, and the Hu people are nomadic people, so all the previous Northern Expeditions ended without a problem.

In the northern border of the Great Xia Empire, more than 300 miles away, in a large cowhide tent.

"Patriarchs, this king has decided to divide his army into three groups. One route will attack Dasheng Pass head-on, and the other two routes will bypass Dasheng Pass and go south to the land of the Daxia Empire to plunder enough supplies for the winter." Yuan Qiang clan chief Asif said. .

"Your Majesty, there are 30 soldiers in Daxia at Dashengguan. The governor who sits at Dashengguan is also Han Fei who is good at fighting. We need to mobilize at least [-] troops so that we will not be defeated." Su Keer, the patriarch of the Huns Said.

"Your Majesty, why don't we attack the Ula Kingdom in the west?" asked Habat, the patriarch of the Xiannu tribe.

"You guys don't know that there is a severe drought in Ula this year, even if we attack aggressively, it will be difficult to gain anything," Asif said.

The Hu people are unparalleled in riding and shooting, and they have always been invincible in fighting on the plains. However, the power of the Great Xia army made the Hu people terrified.

Given a choice, no Hu tribe would be willing to plunder the Great Xia Empire.

Since ancient times, people in the world have often said that you will die and I will live. If you don’t die, how can I live?
As nomadic Hu people, there is no grass for the horses, cattle and sheep to graze, so they can only starve.

Heavy snow fell, weeds were covered with snow, horses, cattle and sheep were either frozen to death or starved to death.

There has been no rainfall, and if there is a little fire, a large area of ​​the grassland will be burned.

Man-made arson, spontaneous combustion of corpses, and thunder and lightning may all cause the grassland to burn.

In order to keep themselves alive, the nomads who lacked food had no choice but to plunder brutally and unreasonably.

The tribe's population has dropped sharply, it's okay, go grab some people.

It doesn't matter if there is no food for the winter, go south to plunder some food.

In the eyes of nomads, food and population are far more important than gold and silver.

"This time we will gather 80 troops. This king is planning to mobilize 50 troops to attack the Dasheng Pass. The remaining 30 troops will be divided into two, bypassing the Dasheng Pass. From these two places, we will go all the way to the hinterland of Daxia. .” Asif pointed to the map.

"Your Majesty, how to divide the troops?" Sukel asked.

"The Yuan and Qiang tribes dispatched 15 troops to attack from Jinghe County, your 15 tribes dispatched 50 troops to attack from Qingshan County, and the remaining [-] troops to attack Dasheng Pass, led by the king himself," Asif said.

The patriarchs of the eighteen Hu tribes glanced at Zamusen who was sitting aside, and nodded helplessly.

A few hours later, 80 Hu troops rushed from various places to Dashengguan, Jinghe County, and Qingshan County.

There are more than 300 million barbarians in the grassland, and only Zhamusen of the Yuanqiang tribe was lucky enough to break through to the early stage of innateness.

Originally, the Yuan Qiang tribe was only a medium-sized tribe. Because Zamusen became an innate warrior, some small and medium-sized tribes took refuge in one after another and annexed some tribes. In just a few years, the Yuan Qiang tribe became the most powerful Hu tribe...

"Report, hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops..." A soldier rushed into Dasheng Pass, panting to report.

"Explore again!" Commander Han Fei said in a voice as loud as a bell.

"Yes!" The soldier turned and left, and rushed to the grassland on his horse.

In the era without telescopes, finding enemy tracks was a technical task.

If you are close, you will be killed by the enemy, if you are far away, the enemy will not know the division of troops.

Before the bloody battle started, the fight between the Tanmas started quietly.

A few Daxia scouts were about to turn around and report back when they found themselves surrounded by barbarians.

A few barbarian cavalry rode their horses and swung their whips to search forward. A rope was raised from the ground, and they were turned on their backs...

Arrows pierced through the air one after another, Daxia Tanma and Huren cavalry were hit by arrows from time to time, and fell to the ground unwillingly.

Chen Yu didn't send anyone to search for the enemy. After planting thousands of mines outside the four city gates, he sat on the city wall, drinking tea, and waiting for the barbarians to come to die.

With the strong walls and clear wilderness, the Hu people could not even hope to get a grain of grain or a quilt in Jinghe County.

The people living outside the city have already moved all the pots, pans, tables, stools, food quilts, etc. to the county town.

"My lord, the dust is blowing from the north, and there must be a lot of Hu people coming over." Ma Wencai said.

"10,000+ barbarians are nothing to be afraid of." Chen Yu said calmly. Standing on the city wall and looking far into the distance, with his extraordinary eyesight, he had already seen the barbarians more than 100 miles away.

Hu people are almost all cavalry, and it is no problem to travel hundreds of miles a day.

Two hours later, a barbarian cavalry rode back to the camp.

"What's the matter?" Borji, the patriarch of the Yuan Qiang clan, asked calmly.

"Young patriarch, the people in Jinghe County have all retreated to the county seat, and there is not a grain of food outside the city..." the cavalry said.

"Pass down the order to set up camp on the spot, and attack the city with all our strength tomorrow morning," Borghi said.

At this moment, Dasheng Pass, above the city wall.

"Great governor, there are probably 60 or [-] barbarians outside the pass." Gao Yuan, who was wearing armor, said with a heavy expression.

"A mere 50 barbarians can't break through the Great Victory Gate! If there is no accident, the barbarians who are coming are not limited to those outside the pass. I don't know where the rest of the barbarians are now?" Han Fei frowned and said.
