My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 602 Solve the troubles
The diffuse dust fell back and covered the tattered robes and armor. The black smoke that rushed into the sky drifted past the spear stuck crookedly on the ground. Arrows occasionally shot out from the sky. The fleeing Satsuma spearman suddenly froze, and an arrow hit his back. He threw himself forward on the ground, his eyes reflected the red field, the densely packed corpses spread out, and then the last look in his eyes gradually faded away.

The war came to an end. Among the corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains, the ownerless war horses stood beside their dead masters, caressing him gently with their mouths, and let out moans.

Soon, the Selis cavalry on horseback came over and took the horse away.

This Mongolian cavalryman held the reins and showed off his yellow teeth to the tribesmen who were also searching for trophies on horseback, showing off the reins in his hands and the war horse behind him.

The Mongolian Qingqi over there also smiled, patted the heads tied around his waist, pointed out five fingers, and spoke in the Xirong dialect.

"When we get back, there are five sheep and five cows!"

Next to them, there were Mongolian light cavalry who lowered their heads to look for the bodies of the Satsuma people. They found several bodies in a row, but their heads were cut off by others.

As if to let off steam, he kicked the headless corpse in front of him, and then wiped away the blood splashed on his face, with an honest smile on his face.

"Next time, please slow down and give me two heads. I still have two heads left in my account, so I can put them in the account." The Mongolian cavalry turned his head. In his field of vision, a group of Qingzhou Army cavalry came from a distance. Speeding past, they had bright armor and tall mounts. The leader, the general, wore a one-eyed blindfold and had a beard. His majestic appearance made the Mongolian cavalry surrounded by only fur coats full of envy.

Of course, there are also majestic clansmen among them.

"We will rest tonight and set out for the Satsuma capital early tomorrow morning."

"Humph!" Zhu Wen's body tilted back slightly, and his tone was quite proud: "I did this a lot back then."

"Immortality!" At this time, Zhu Wen's spiritual tablet shouted from behind: "This guy must have something else to say, and it is possible that his family members have been kidnapped."

"I never joke about these things." Su Chen thought for a moment and then asked Li Chaofu to continue translating his next words.

"Awe-inspiring Emperor of the East, please allow Budares to be unable to accept your proposal..." As he said this, his body was shaking. After all, because of these words, he might be dragged out later. Cut off the head, "I am the general of the Emperor Nizhidaban of the Satsuma Kingdom..."

Budares's eyes flashed, and he immediately imitated Selis' etiquette and raised his hands to the Eastern Emperor on the carriage.

In an instant, the blade of the blade reflected in his eyes and slashed down with a swish.

Ignoring Dong Zhuo who was stunned over there, Xiahou Dun dragged down the enemy general lying on his horse, held it in his hand and strode towards the soldiers in front. After passing through the copper and iron walls that were out of the way, he saw two giant guard generals. The ancestral hearse in the middle.

When the latter heard that someone could speak Satsuma, he guessed that what this person said was what the Eastern Emperor on the carriage had just said.

"General Xiahou, there is no need to be polite."

The long wind blew, and the grass clippings on the ground were stained with blood and flew in the dusky sky.

The next moment, when he heard footsteps approaching, he quickly closed his eyes and turned his head away. He felt hands groping on his body. He didn't have much valuables on him. The Satsuma soldier just hoped that the other party would take it away quickly. Sure enough, the hand groping on his body With his hand, he took away the valuables wrapped in his belt, and the other party's hand immediately moved away.

"Haha, look, I finally found one! There's still one missing!" The Mongolian Qingqi who said before that there were two heads missing in his account smiled and raised his bloody head, joking to the surrounding tribesmen.

The Satsuma people's official system included the position of consul, which was similar to the position of prime minister and governor of the overall situation in the Daxia court.

"Really?"

Soon, Budares rode a scarred war horse and escaped from the army that frightened him. Su Chen mounted the war horse and came to the edge of the army, watching the other party leave.

Cleaning up the battlefield continued, while on the other side, the Qingzhou Army, which was galloping back to the center, stopped its horses outside the Tiger Guard Camp.

Budares's concern was exposed, but he did not hide it. He knelt on the ground and nodded heavily.

"Why didn't Zhiran come back?"

Faced with such a temptation, no one would be tempted, and it no longer mattered who they were loyal to.

"Translate!" Su Chen whispered before speaking to the Satsuma general: "I'll give you a chance to live."

Hearing the words of the translator, Budares raised his face in surprise and looked at the young Eastern Emperor on the carriage opposite.

Over there, Su Chen looked solemn. Naturally, he heard what the emperors behind him said, so he asked the other side: "But your family members are being wrapped up to threaten you?"

Xiahou Dun directly threw out the Satsuma general Budares who was dragging him, and raised his hand towards Su Chen who stood up from the White Tiger Chair opposite.

Su Chen waved him closer, "You know I can capture your capital without you, but I don't want to sacrifice too many soldiers' lives, and if you...if you make this contribution, you will not only be reunited with your family I will make an exception and let you become the consul beside Emperor Adal."

"Stop looking, let's look for it again!"

The look on Budares's face changed. Who doesn't want to live, but if he surrenders, his family members will die.

"I have fulfilled my mission. I will capture the enemy and present it to His Majesty."

While the Satsuma soldier breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a "clang" sound. He quickly opened his eyes and saw the Selis cavalry who was searching for property raising his blade with excitement. ,

Su Chen listened to Li Chaofu's retelling, but the emperors around him were talking, especially Cao Cao, who urged: "This barbarian is actually a loyal man, so treat him as loyal."

Li Chaofu took half a step forward beside Wu Zixun and translated the emperor's words to him word for word.

"Don't we only take the valuable ones?" he thought in panic.

Looking at the Qingzhou Army cavalry going away, the five Mongolian light cavalry continued to search among the corpses. Not far away, there was a war horse lowering its head and licking a corpse on the ground. However, the corpse suddenly moved and opened its eyes slightly. He quietly raised his hand and slapped away the stretched out horse's mouth.

"How do you know?" Li Shimin looked back at him.

"I can reunite your relatives!"

Dong Zhuo was also here. When he saw Xiahou Dun coming back with a captive, but he didn't see Li Jue, he couldn't help but put his feet up and look into the distance.

Su Chen looked away, turned his horse's head, led Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and the other generals back to the army, and gave a few orders casually.

"Rest in the back. When he was charging into the battle, he accidentally sprained his foot." Xiahou Dun pointed to the direction of the battlefield. He had captured an important person and was in a good mood. He finally smiled a little at Dong Zhuo, who had once conquered him.

Su Chen walked out of the carriage, and with all the emperors watching, he came to the carriage and stood there, looking from Xiahou Dun to Budares who was getting up.

For example, the timid Xue army that killed the Satsuma people before was a pity that three thousand people was already the limit. If there were any more, they would have to apply to the emperor for enough iron and war horses.

"I asked you to escape back, and what you have to do is to cooperate with the inside and outside to open the gate of Harabitos."

"We can't completely rely on the Satsuma people to attack the city. What we should do is not to leave any one behind. Tell the scouts in front to clear out the area around Harabitos. Subotai's Mongolian cavalry will cut off all the supplies in that city. Don’t give the people in the city a chance to fight back.”

After sending away the commanding cavalry, when they returned to the center, a temporary camp had begun to be set up. The cavalry was running, the infantry was cutting wood, and a fence was erected with the craftsmen in the rear team.

Returning to the ancestral coffin, Li Jue and Subotai had returned from the battlefield two miles away and were unpacking their wine bags, drinking and joking outside.

When he saw Su Chen coming back, Li Jue put down his wine bag first and bowed his hands in salute. As a famous general who had conquered the West, Subotai was somewhat arrogant. After putting down the wine bag, he also slightly bowed his hand.

"You two, are you going to enjoy killing these barbarians?"

Su Chen didn't care about Subotai's movements and expressions, he walked over with a smile, directly took the wine bag Subotai placed on the carriage, took a sip into his mouth, then tightened it and threw it back.

Such a rough and arrogant manner is not suitable for an emperor, but for Subotai, who was born, raised and died on the grassland, such rough and arrogant behavior makes him feel friendly.

"Of course it's a pleasure, just like when we fought in Europa."

When he talked about what happened back then, the surrounding generals such as Dong Zhuo, Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Xu Chu, An Lushan and others could not help but look at him curiously.

It can reach the farthest places in the west. Looking at the long history, it can be counted in one slap.

"What's the point? If at that time in the Qin Dynasty, someone would have given the First Emperor a map and said that there was an elixir of life in the west, there would probably have been nothing behind Mongolia." Dong Zhuo didn't want everyone to surround a grassland general with envy, so he Turn the conversation away.

"Whoever says it's not, let's just say that at that time, if there were rumors that there was an elixir of life in the west, who would go and rebel, maybe I would apply to Li Longji for a transfer order to garrison in Shazhou, and take the opportunity..." An Lu Mountain foot He consciously looked at Li Shimin, who also narrowed his eyes. He swallowed the next words directly into his stomach and did not dare to say any more.

Su Chen pressed his hand and smiled at everyone: "Aren't we going to reach the west now?"

Having said this, Su Chen glanced around and lowered his voice.

"Don't forget, the Imperial Master came here to look for immortality. It's hard to say, but there really is one. When the time comes, all the generals will have their share. Let's live forever together!" "Who has the elixir of immortality?"

Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded in the car. Everyone turned around quickly and saw the shrine of the First Emperor at the top. Ying Zheng stuck out his head, glanced around, and snorted coldly.

"Next time you talk about immortality medicine, stay away from the carriage and don't let others hear you."

After saying that, his head returned to the spiritual position and did not appear again.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They were silent for a while, and then they all laughed.

"...The First Emperor is the First Emperor. He doesn't come out on weekdays. When he hears about the elixir of life, his ears are sharper than anyone else."

……

It was already dusk and the magnificent sunset gleamed over the walls of Harabitos.

On the road leading to the south, there are corpses left behind by countless Satsuma people who fled this way.

After receiving the news, the Harabitos City Guards rushed over. In the west-slanting sunlight, they saw countless blood and corpses spread out shockingly.

In the far direction, there was a scarred war horse, carrying the exhausted Budares, and was marching hard.

"General Budares!"

"Hurry over!"

The Harabitos patrol team who went out of the city to check out the situation hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up. They waited until it was getting dark before they returned to the city.

Budares looked tired, and his armor was mottled with many slash marks. When he returned to the city, he didn't have time to rest, so he went directly to the palace to meet Emperor Nizhdaban, and also met with the nobles who had already heard the news of the defeat.

He told them one by one how he fought with the Selis army, how the army formation was broken, how he broke out of the siege, and finally escaped from the pursuit of the Selis cavalry before escaping back.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, everyone gradually believed what Budares said from their previous doubts.

But the army was defeated and tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded. Naturally, they would not hand over the city defense to Budares. Firstly, the defeated general would not receive any preferential treatment. Secondly, it was to prevent Budares from defecting to Seli. The Sri Lankan, or the Adal who became emperor in Qadira.

So another general was elected to guard the city. At one time, civilians in the city were also recruited to go to the city wall or directly join the army.

They originally thought that the Seris people's attack would wait for half a month, but unexpectedly, the next day, as soon as the sun rose to noon, the sound of war horns came from the city wall.

The nobles and officials in the city all ran to the city wall, and even Nizhidaban was carried over by the crowd.

Among the countless sights on the city wall, a long black line stretched out from the end connecting the sky and the earth. The dust raised covered the sky and the sun. It was a sign of a large-scale march.

They had not experienced the battle in the wilderness yesterday, but their faces turned pale at this moment.

Under the fluttering banner of the Great Xia Empire, Su Chen called out, halted his horse, and looked at the outline of the city wall in the distance and the wandering prairie cavalry around him.

After a moment, he raised his hand and spoke in a low voice: "Siege the city——"

The siege horn sounded.

In the Xiliang army formation, which had already been waiting for orders, Guo Bang stuck out his tongue and licked the blade of the blade, then swung it fiercely and pointed it at Harabitos, the capital of Satsuma, in front of him.

"Your Majesty has an order to attack the city!"

Amidst the sound of army war drums, the Xiliang Army and the Qingzhou Army began to move slowly. At the same time, the catapults at the rear began to be built in the hands of civilians and craftsmen, and the stone bullets were transported and piled up. The Mongolian light cavalry swimming under the city wall raised their bows and aimed at the city head.

Adal's 5,000-strong Kadira motley army also made an offensive gesture.

at the same time.

There was a lot of tension on the long city wall. Nizhidaban was escorted off the city wall in a hurry and took a carriage back. The five nobles also looked unhappy.

Seeing the large number of infantry and cavalry in the field gathering and moving, preparing a large number of siege equipment, they hurriedly asked the elected generals to quickly prepare for defense. After that, they all got off the city wall.

Return to their respective homes and prepare to evacuate.

However, what they didn't know was that Budares, who had been relieved of his duties as general, broke into the military camp in the city on a horse alone.

He pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it toward the sky. Soldiers in the military camp who were familiar with him and those who were not familiar with him gathered around him one by one.

"My family was threatened by them and imprisoned in their city. Nizhidaban was also a puppet supported by them. The rights of the Samo people were eroded by these moths, and the entire country was defeated in their hands.

I, Budares, swear today that I will lead the soldiers who are willing to follow me, cut off the heads of these arrogant and greedy nobles, and distribute the fields and wealth in their hands to the poor Samoans. You can follow me and overthrow them together. Tyranny, to welcome Adal, who also has royal blood? ! "

boom!
In the military camp, silent soldiers raised their spears and responded to Budares's words with a loud voice.

"Go forth, warriors of Satsuma!"

The war horses neighed and turned around, Budares waved his sword in his hand and slashed down: "Open the city gate, welcome the coalition forces of Emperor Selis and Emperor Adal to enter Harabitos, and rescue all the Samians!"

The high-pitched sound rose into the sky, startling the birds.

Many Satsuma soldiers rushed out of the military camp, galloped on the streets, and headed towards the city gate where the fighting was taking place in the distance.

At this time, at the huge east gate of Harabitos, fighting cries boiled on the stretching city wall. Under the bright sky, ladders were mounted on the city wall, and Xiliang and Qingzhou army infantry with blades in their mouths climbed up. And up.

The soldiers who had already stood on the top of the city were waving their weapons crazily, and they were spreading in small groups, cooperating with each other.

Stone bullets streaked across the sky in long trajectories, hitting the heads of the crowded crowd and falling on people. Their bodies were shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground. Some of them flew directly over the city wall and fell into the city. They were startled. There were cries of civilians and the sound of houses collapsing.

The Satsuma general who had just been elected yesterday roared angrily and kept dispatching his troops. Stone bullets flew like an angry wave and hit the tower.

However, soon, an army of three thousand soldiers arrived in the city, marching through the streets and rushing towards the city gate among the panicked civilians.

The astonishing fight expanded rapidly, and Budares became more ferocious than before, personally leading his team to the front.

Soon after, he pushed open the city gate with his own hands, and his soldiers lowered the suspension bridge. The Mongolian light cavalry wandering outside the city flooded in like a tide, with scimitars, bows and arrows, and the fierce and ferocious smiles of this group of people.

Then, the iron hooves spread across the ancient streets and rushed towards the distant palace.

……

"Your Majesty is in serious trouble."

Anxious voices came in from outside and echoed in the quiet palace.

Nizhdaban slumped on the throne with a pale face, his whole body trembling slightly in the throne. After a moment, his voice became hoarse: "I am not the emperor... The emperor can be given to Adal..."

he said weakly.

……

The sun is pouring down, and the fighting is coming to an end.

After reading the information in his hand, Su Chen handed the note to Wu Zixun for filing, and then made an inviting gesture on horseback to the generals around him who were not participating in the battle.

"Everyone, let's take a look at what the new capital of the Satsuma people looks like."

"Your Majesty, please!"

Dong Zhuo and other generals all held their hands together. When Su Chen rode forward, they rushed forward, guarded the emperor, and entered the cleaned city gate together.
