Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 533
"Attack me, I want to see Li Mu's head before sunrise tomorrow!" Until he was about three or four hundred steps away, Mao Dun turned around and ordered viciously at the head of Juyang city.

Now that it was approaching noon, it was impossible to capture Juyang City even with a large amount of Donghu cannon fodder in one afternoon. If it was according to Maodun's intention, the city would have to be attacked overnight.

"But there is a moat in front of Juyang City?" A guard next to Maodun asked.

Who would have thought that as soon as the guard finished speaking, Mao Dun suddenly grabbed his throat and said with a ferocious face: "Then fill it up for me!"

The scene just now undoubtedly affected his prestige somewhat. Only by breaking through Juyang as soon as possible and killing Li Mu can he save his face.

And since it was confirmed that Li Mu was in this city, no matter how many losses there were, Juyang City must be broken in the shortest possible time. As long as Li Mu died, there would be no one in the entire Yanzhao land who could be his opponent.

And even though he lost face, Mao Dun was not completely dominated by anger. Li Mu is the chief general of the Qin army, and the Qin army has not yet reached the point where Li Mu, the chief general, will come to the front line to defend the city in person. Even if he sticks to it, he should not choose Juyang. small town.

Subconsciously, Mao Dun felt that Qin Jun might have some conspiracy, but he couldn't figure out which aspect was wrong, but no matter what Qin Jun's conspiracy was, if he captured Juyang City and killed Li Mu within a day, I'm afraid that no conspiracy can be carried out.

"Siege the city! Siege the city! Siege the city!" Following Mao Dun's order, the guards beside him immediately rode their horses and galloped to the various teams of the Xiongnu army.

Immediately, groups of Xiongnu cavalry carried horses and waved long swords to drive groups of Donghu captives carrying stones or sandbags towards Juyang City.

When they were within the coverage of the Qin army's bows and arrows, the Huns cavalry stopped their steps and used bows and arrows to drive Donghu old and weak towards Juyang City.

If anyone walks slowly and does not use the Qin army on the top of the city, the Huns behind will shoot with an arrow.

Although the Donghu people suffered a lot of casualties under the arrows of the Qin army, the Huns drove tens of thousands of captives from different directions and attacked at the same time in the first wave of attack. Arrow came near the moat.

The Xiongnu's river filling movement lasted for about half an hour and then stopped. In just half an hour, at least nearly [-] corpses of Donghu people were piled up under Juyang City.

"Why did you stop?" Mao Dun asked, frowning.

"Chan Yu, we have run out of stones and sandbags." A Xiongnu nobleman next to Modun quickly explained: "I have sent my Hun warriors to drive the Donghu people to look for them in the wilderness."

"Is it full of unsatisfactory land? Why bother looking around?" Mo Dun said casually, pointing to the corpses of Donghu people around the moat.

"Da Shan Yu Yingming, my subordinates will make arrangements now."

Not long after the Xiongnu nobles left, driven by the Huns, the Donghu people who had just stopped for a long time were forced to start the step of filling the moat again, but this time their landfill was no longer the previous stone. It is not a sandbag, but the same clan they died under the city wall before.

A shallow moat can withstand such a cost-intensive landfill. After thousands of Donghu people fell down again, the moat of Juyang City has been completely filled.

At this time, the sky was just a little dark.

Seeing that the moat had been filled up, more than the Huns smiled, and the Donghu captives, the old and the weak also let out a long sigh of relief.

It was getting dark, at least he was alive today, whether he would be lucky enough to keep his life alive tomorrow was something to consider tomorrow.

At this time, in the Huns camp, clusters of bonfires had already been lit, and the servants were preparing meals for the Huns nobles and officers to roast cattle and sheep.

As for the ordinary Hun cavalry, they don't have such superior conditions. At most, they can chew a few pieces of dried meat with the milk of livestock.

As for the captives of Donghu, it was even worse. In the past, the food they got could only keep them from starving to death. However, I don’t know why the Huns were so kind to them for dinner today. Not only was it much more abundant than before, but there was also a lot of food Although dried meat is something that the Huns disdain to eat, these Donghu people have not eaten such a good thing for a long time after being captured.

However, after they were full, these Donghu people were just about to lie down and rest on the spot, but they were forced up by the Huns with their long swords.

"Get up and attack the city!"

As soon as they heard the word "siege", the faces of these Donghu prisoners suddenly turned pale.

No wonder the meal at night was so rich. It turned out that the Huns planned to make them eat enough to build the city wall overnight!

"I quit!" Suddenly, a prisoner among the Donghu people roared with a maniacal face: "If you go to be killed by the Qin army, you will die here, and you will die here, and you will die anyway. Why do you want to attack the city for you demons?"

"If you want to kill, you can kill now!"

Under the leadership of this prisoner, nearly a hundred Donghu people stood beside him in a short while, and their attitude was very clear.

If you want to kill you, kill now, we don't want to work for you Huns!
The movement in this place quickly attracted the attention of Modu. After coming over, he asked a simple question. After understanding the attitude of these Donghu people, Maodu not only didn't get angry, but laughed loudly.

"Check, where are their family members?" Mo Dun ordered to the guards beside him after laughing.

This time the Huns drove the Donghu people here, basically the whole tribe drove them here, except for the young women who can be used as wealth, they are basically here.

After a while, the relatives of these captives were brought over by the Hun guards, including hundreds of their parents and children.

Mao Dun rode his horse and turned slowly to the nearly a hundred "uncooperative" Donghu people, and said slowly: "Remember, it is your fault that your family members died."

After speaking, he made a beheading gesture to the Hun cavalry who escorted these old people and children.

With a sudden order, the Xiongnu cavalry who had been waiting by the side immediately raised their swords and fell hundreds of old and young, and all died on the spot without making a few screams.

"Dad!"

"my son!"

……

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the Donghu people who stood up immediately burst into tears, and they cried out in grief.

"You devil!" The person who stood up first, with a ferocious face, rushed towards Maodun, waving his fists.

However, after running a few steps, he was beheaded by a Hun cavalry on the road.

"It's too cheap for him to die." Mao Dun sighed when he saw this scene: "Cut off the hands and feet of these people, and let the Donghu people see the end of rebellion, so that they don't die too easily."

The experience of these more than a hundred people immediately made all Donghu lose the courage to resist. Resisting the Huns will not only make their family members die early, but they will also suffer from human suffering.

The hundred or so people who stood up first, although their hands and feet had been cut off, were still thrown on the edge of the camp, screaming miserably.

Now I want to die even if I can't die!
Just as these Donghu captives were being driven towards Juyang City, a group of Xiongnu cavalry interspersed with the Donghu people and shouted loudly: "The Great Chanyu has an order, and all Donghu sinners boarded the Juyang City. For those in Yangcheng, their families will be exonerated and released as civilians."

In short, after a typical big stick, a jujube was given to encourage these Donghu captives to climb to Juyang City desperately.

Anyone who can climb to Juyang City may not come back alive, but his family can get rid of the status of slaves and become ordinary herdsmen.

It can be said that he took his mortal life to fight for a chance to survive for his wife and children.

Hearing this order, the Donghu captive team, which was like a corpse, suddenly changed from walking to running, and the momentum that erupted at this time even made the Huns a little scared.
