I will never be Renzong

Chapter 125

After Xia Song entered the city, the Six Thousand Xiang Army quickly repaired the city walls and gates. As for the damaged buildings in the city, they were not in a hurry to repair them. That night, Di Qing and Yang Wenguang led three thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry respectively. The night came knocking into the city.

Three days later, on a dark and windy night, a group of barbarian soldiers knocked on the ground and came to the city. The gatekeepers were dozing off. They easily shot the defenders and opened the city gate.

"Ula~Ula~"

Then they began to shout slogans, and then countless barbarians with torches in one hand and weapons in the other suddenly appeared all over the mountains and plains. They ran, waved, and ran towards the county town clamoring.

There were about a hundred Xiang troops on duty in the county seat. Seeing that the gate of the city was lost, they rushed to take back the gate, but when a large number of barbarians rushed in, they turned around immediately, then let go of their feet, and ran back without looking back. , as if it had been rehearsed in advance, the barbarians became even more arrogant seeing this, waving all kinds of weapons and chasing after him.

Unknowingly, he was led to the county government office. Since the county government office was the most severely damaged, it was already on the ground at this time. The barbarians who were chasing suddenly saw the collapsed defenders disappear.

"Step! Step! Step! Step!"

Immediately there was a sound of horseshoes, and then clusters of flames lit up in the dark. When the barbarians came to their senses, they silently found that there was a well-equipped cavalry waiting in front of them.

Di Qing glanced at the panic-stricken barbarians, raised his long knife and shouted loudly: "Qinglong goes out to fight, not a single blade of grass can grow! Kill!"

With an order, the cavalry of the three thousand Azure Dragon Legion rushed towards the barbarian army like a rolling iron stream.

Seeing this, the chief of the barbarian alliance hurriedly met the big copper hammer he had snatched in his hand and shouted: "You sons of the barbarians, follow the chief to kill!"

In the face of unknown cavalry, he is actually a bit cowardly, but he knows that although he is afraid, he must not be cowardly, otherwise the barbarians will be finished.

Although the barbarian soldiers were brave, they were nothing more than the bravery of ordinary people. If the cavalry faced the infantry with poor weapons and equipment, the only result would be to be slaughtered.

The Chief of the Barbarian Alliance is still good. He waved a large copper hammer weighing dozens of kilograms, and many cavalrymen fell off their horses. No one could approach for a while. The more he killed, the more brave he became. The chief of the barbarian alliance didn't expect this young commander to be so brave, so he couldn't help but feel timid. He glanced at the people around him who were being killed and retreated steadily. No matter how slow his reaction was, he understood that they were tricked up.

So he knocked down a cavalryman with a hammer, seized the horse and was about to flee, but Di Qing immediately picked up his bow and arrow, and opened his bow and arrow.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The chief of the barbarian alliance turned his head and blocked the first arrow, but failed to block the second and third arrows. He staggered and fell off his horse, and was hacked to death by the cavalry.

Song Jinjun had extremely high requirements for arm strength before, and Di Qing was a brave general who could shoot three arrows in a row.

"The chief is dead! Withdraw!"

Lai San, who was staying behind the barbarian army making soy sauce, saw it, shouted, and ran back with his feet loose. The tribal chiefs who were lucky enough to survive saw this and ran towards the gate of the city.

At the moment when his life was at stake, Lai San ran fast, seeing that he was not far from the city gate, and his escape was just around the corner, when suddenly the city gate was closed from the outside, and immediately after that, countless torches lit up on the top of the city.

"Whoosh!"

Lai San felt a pain in his chest. He looked at Song Jun, who was crowded with people on the city wall, with their bows and arrows, and their torches bright. Then he looked down at a feathered arrow in front of his chest, and then died.

Xia Song and Yang Wenguang were standing on the top of the city, when a man who looked like a civil servant suddenly said to Xia Song, "Prefect Xia, do you want to recruit?"

Xia Song didn't reply, but glanced at Yang Wenguang.

"Fire arrows!"

Yang Wenguang ignored Xia Song, but ordered loudly.

The barbarians could have taken refuge in the surrounding houses, but after they captured the county, they had destroyed all the houses, so they had nowhere to hide, and the sound of cavalry chasing came from behind them.

After three rounds of arrow rain, less than 3000 of the more than ten thousand barbarian soldiers who fled to the gate of the city were left. Seeing this, Yang Wenguang ordered: "Stop! People under the city listen, put down their weapons and surrender immediately, or they will be shot to death!"

Xia Song just said at this time: "Vice General Yang, isn't this killing a bit too much! If more than [-] people can be left behind, the three cities can be built in less than half a year. I'm afraid it will be delayed now!"

Yang Wenguang clasped his fists and said: "Prefect Xia, we are going to withdraw after all, and leave more than ten thousand barbarians as prisoners. Can the Xiang army of the Prefect Xia be controlled? Before the end of the future, the government has ordered that we only have one-time treatment for foreigners. Scared them, and wiped out as many of their vital forces as possible, so that we, the Song Dynasty, can occupy this place permanently!"

Di Qing also rushed to the city wall at this time, happened to hear the conversation between the two, and hurriedly said: "Prefect Xia, as far as the general knows, a group of prisoners will come in a short time, and the number of prisoners is about ten thousand. After they arrive, they will basically live here permanently, so if the barbarians die more, these people will be more likely to find wives, right?"

Xia Song thought about the same thing. In this battle, more than [-]% of the local barbarians died in battle. Although the people who are about to come are said to be criminals, they are still Song people. In any case, managing Song people is better than managing barbarians. Much easier.

The next day, the first ray of sunlight from the east shone on the beautiful and fertile Treasure Island. Xia Song started further operations, and began to send troops to clear all the tribes on the island. All of them were old and weak women and children, so they all surrendered with almost no effort, and Xia Song also took them all to the county seat.

The remaining [-] barbarian captives, those with wives, were all kept, but they had to serve the Song Dynasty for five years before they could be exonerated from their crimes and become qualified citizens of the Song Dynasty.

As for the rest, it is prepared to be reserved for the first batch of Song people who are about to come.

"Prefect Xia! This barbarian woman is so beautiful! She looks like a fairy, and I will dedicate it to Prefect Xia!"

A captain of the Xiang Army came to Xia Song with a young and beautiful barbarian woman.

"Look up! Let someone take a good look!"

"Humph!"

The woman turned her head stubbornly and stopped looking at Xia Song.

Xia Song stepped forward and raised the woman's chin with her hand to look carefully.

"Yo! Unexpectedly, there is such a beautiful woman in this barren land!"

Xia Song was very lecherous, but he didn't want to touch this woman. He came to Di Qing and clasped his fists and said, "Xia asked Di Shen to bring this girl back to Beijing to present to the officials!"

Di Qing frowned immediately: "Prefect Xia, is this bad?"

Xia Song said with a smile: "Dare to ask General Di Can, who is the person who took Ryukyu under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty and renamed it Taiwan Prefecture? Is it the intention of a certain minister in the court?"

Di Qing didn't reply, but he knew that taking back Liuqiu was the will of today's officials.

Seeing this, Xia Song said again: "Since the officials want to conquer the barbarians on this island, why don't they want to conquer the number one beauty of the barbarians? Are you right?"

Di Qing's mind is in a mess at the moment, he can do it when it comes to leading troops to fight, but he really can't do it when it comes to guessing the minds of officials.
