Han officials

Chapter 40 Those who fear me are not afraid of the enemy
Wei Zhe was not at all moved by the miserable plight of the Xianbei people.

Anyway, no matter how many casualties the Qian Mo troops suffered, it would be beneficial to him.

If there are fewer casualties, he can save some energy later;
If there are too many casualties, it will also cause the Qianmo tribe and the Cantai tribe to become enemies.

He even wanted to use the current siege as an example to teach his cavalry.

"Remember, the most taboo in defending a city is to hold it to your death." Wei Zhe pointed to Cantai City not far away and said, "For example, if a group of cavalry rushed out from the city right now, carrying kerosene and firewood to cover the scattered trees, these three roads and bridges would naturally be destroyed. As long as the city is well equipped to support them, filling the trenches will be a simple task."

Upon hearing this, Jiao Shan and his personal soldiers nodded repeatedly.

You have to know that this is special training on the battlefield. If you tell others about it, your classmates in the Military Academy will definitely be envious.

At the same time, under the supervision of Taishi Ci, Qifu Xiang also began to attack the city.

Of course, Qifu Xiang would not lead the charge.
I saw groups of evil cavalrymen dismounting, carrying rough wooden ladders, and rushing towards Cantai City with roars. Another group of people carried thick tree trunks and rushed towards the city gate.

Everything is so rough and simple.

Fortunately, the means used by the Cantai Department to deal with the situation were also very primitive.

There was no gold juice, kerosene, door-blocking knife carts or anything like that, the only things available were archery and rolling stones.

For a while, the Xianmo people of the Qianmo tribe were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, or were killed by rolling stones.

Similarly, the barbarians from Cantai who were defending the city were constantly shot by arrows and fell from the top of the city walls.

"Kill~"

With roars, the siege quickly entered a white-hot stage.

Relying on their familiarity with the wooden city, several evil warriors quickly jumped onto the top of the city wall, but were chopped into pieces in just a moment. Both the attackers and defenders were under tremendous pressure.

Seeing this situation, Wei Zhe under the big flag couldn't help but frown.

If this continues, the "Qian Mo Tribe" will not be able to hold out for long with its resilience.

It seems that even if it is a wooden city, it is unlikely to be captured by relying solely on the vassal army.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhe immediately ordered the recruitment of 300 brave men to attack the city first.

As soon as these words were spoken, the brave men in the army quickly rushed to sign up.

Even Jiao Shan, who was beside Wei Zhe, couldn't help but join in.

Seeing this, Wei Zhe didn't say anything, but nodded immediately and said, "I'm waiting to celebrate your success."

Meanwhile, Taishi Ci, upon seeing Jiao Shan leading a group of three hundred heavily armored, death-defying warriors armed with ring-handled swords, immediately understood Wei Zhe's resolve. He looked at Qifu Xiang coldly and said, "You have one last chance."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qifu Xiang's face turned pale.

However, after seeing Wei Zhe send out such elite troops, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

So this guy did not dare to delay and immediately sent out all the remaining elite troops.

At the same time, two thousand Han cavalry were also roaming around, pretending to attack, forcing the troops on the city wall to split up.

Another two thousand Han cavalry dismounted and fired a volley to support Jiao Shan and others.

For a moment, Da Xiyuan on the top of the city was in a state of confusion, not knowing what the enemy was trying to do.

But Wei Zhe didn't give him another chance.

As the drum of the central army sounded, Qifu Xiang gritted his teeth and drew his sword to supervise the battle.

Thousands of Xianmo people from the Qianmo tribe could only roar and attack again. At one moment, several wooden ladders were set up on the top of the city almost at the same time, which shocked the Cantai tribe.

However, before they could react, Jiao Shan, relying on the cover of Qian Mo's troops, had already jumped onto the city wall like a wild bear. After all, there is almost no woodcutter who can't climb trees.

Then he was seen wearing heavy armor, holding a shield in his left hand and a stick in his right hand. He actually resisted the enemy's swords and spears, roaring like a beast and rushing into the guards on the city wall. Then, before they could react, he smashed the wooden shield in his hand cleanly and began to swing the wrought iron stick.

Left and right, it's like chopping down trees and spreading rain evenly.

The wrought iron rod weighing dozens of kilograms was like an ordinary ring-handled sword in his hand. Wherever it touched, people would die, and anyone who touched it would be injured.

In particular, the Cantai tribe had few iron armors and mostly leather armors, so they were even less able to withstand Jiaoshan.

Even a few warriors from the Cantai tribe rushed forward to surround and kill Jiaoshan, but they didn't expect that as soon as they blocked the attack, their weapons and heads were shattered. Needless to say, this was another sin caused by Dai Fang Tieqian.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, three hundred death-defying warriors immediately swarmed up the ladders and soon formed a formation behind Jiao Shan, occupying a section of the city wall.

Seeing this situation, without Taishi Ci's order, Qifu Xiang immediately led his troops to climb to the top of the city wall along the opening in Jiaoshan Mountain and defeated the Cantai tribe.

The defeat on the city wall had a huge impact. As more and more Han and Yi soldiers climbed up the city, the defense at the city gate began to fall into chaos. The siege team below took the opportunity and finally broke open the city gate.

At this point, Cantai City was finally opened.

Wei Zhe, who was under the big flag, finally smiled when he saw this.

As groups of Han cavalry rushed in, soon there were exclamations and screams from the city. The Qianmo tribe followed closely behind, even more enthusiastic than the Han army.

When Wei Zhe rode his warhorse and stepped through the gate of Cantai City, stepping on the blood, he saw Jiao Shan and others covered in blood and flesh, leaning against the city wall like ferocious beasts, eating dried meat and drinking wine.

After all, the harder they charged, the more energy they consumed.

The surrounding Xianbei people, whether from the Cantai or Qianmo tribes, were all filled with fear when they saw him and did not dare to look him in the eye.

Xi Zhicai, who was standing by, saw this and immediately said with a smile, "Congratulations, sir, for finding another great general!"

Wei Zhe was in high spirits when he heard this. Considering that Jiao Shan didn't even have a courtesy name, he immediately said, "Old Jiao, how about I give you a courtesy name?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the many death-defying warriors behind Jiao Shan were immediately filled with envy.

Although Jiao Shan was simple-minded, he was not stupid. He immediately knelt on one knee with excitement, looked up at Wei Zhe and said expectantly: "My lord, please give me a calligraphy!"

Seeing this, Wei Zhe nodded and smiled, "I saw you climbing up the mountain just now, as ferocious and powerful as a tiger. How about you use 'Mountain Lord' as your courtesy name from now on?"

Upon hearing this, Jiao Shan grinned and said, "Thank you, my lord, for the courtesy name. From now on, I will be called Shanjun!"

Seeing that Wei Zhe gave Jiao Shan such a courtesy name, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.

It should be noted that "Er Ya" says: Mountain Jun is a tiger.

Therefore, Jiaoshan's courtesy name "Shanjun" can not only be used to describe his ferocity and bravery, but also fits his name very well.

Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but look at Jiao Shan a few more times.

This person is quite lucky. As long as Wei Zhe is not dead in the future, Jiaoshan will probably prosper.

Of course, this scene at the city gate was just an interlude.

The soldiers were not as elite as Wei Zhe's, their weapons were not as sharp as the Han army's, and they even had fewer soldiers and horses than Wei Zhe.

Under such circumstances, after the fall of Cantai City, the Cantai tribe would be even less able to resist Wei Zhe.

So in less than half an hour, the entire Cantai City was completely taken over by Wei Zhe.

When Wei Zhe arrived at the martial arts training ground in the city, Taishi Ci, Zhong Hu and others had already gathered all the captives there.

Looking at Da Xiyuan and some barbarians who were still somewhat dissatisfied, Wei Zhe's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent.

He immediately shouted coldly, "Taishi Ci!"

"Here!" Taishi Ci stepped out of the line and bowed to listen to the order.

"Propagate my military order: The barbarians of Cantai are stubbornly resisting the heavenly soldiers. Immediately kill one out of every ten."

After saying this, he glanced at Qi Fuxiang below and said slowly: "Qi Fuxiang will execute, you supervise the execution!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the place fell into dead silence.

Da Xiyuan's face was filled with panic. He struggled and spoke a bunch of nonsense, and then was dragged away.

The soldiers of the Cantai tribe, who had previously had a somewhat defiant look in their eyes, were now filled with panic.

When Wei Zhe glanced over, everyone lowered their heads and prostrated themselves on the ground as if they had seen a ghost, not daring to show any rebellious behavior anymore.

And this is what Wei Zhe wants:
Those who know how to fear the enemy will not fear me, and those who know how to fear me will not fear the enemy. That’s right!

While Qi Fuxiang was delighted, he couldn't help but feel even more afraid of Wei Zhe.

Gods, how could they, the Xianbei people, have provoked such a murderous god?
