The Donghu people had been fighting for a long time. Many soldiers were less than forty years, and they had been fighting for more than twenty years. When they were young men over ten years old, they began to gallop with the army and then fought in armor. Now every adult man has more or less scars on their bodies. They are indifferent, calm, tough, strong, violent, cruel, and all kinds of emotions and characteristics suitable for warriors are fully reflected in these people. They are wearing animal fur on their bodies, tied tightly around their waists, and their robes are tied into horse hoof shapes, which is to cover the cold wind and facilitate bows and archery. The hem of their robes is tightly tied, which is also convenient for walking and riding horses, but they are completely different from the wide robes and large sleeves of the Wei people.

Under the dim sky, all the Donghu people stood respectfully and bowed respectfully, listening to the loud guards preaching the Khan's orders. Their originally indifferent faces also had some emotion on their faces. After all, with the Donghu system, the Khan had always discussed the military and national affairs with many noble people. The warriors wearing armor and holding scepters only held bows and stylings to attack the enemy formation, sacrificed their lives to win, and then divided the residue of the spoils.

This time, the Khan was heart-warming and told many soldiers that the situation on the battlefield was not good at this time. If we wanted to win, we would have to fight desperately, not defeat the Wei army in front of us, and eliminate the two cities of Jinzhou and Yushui. After that, the Donghu people could only be trapped on the side of Liaoshui and waited to be wiped out by the Wei people who gradually recovered their vitality.

Even if the Wei people did not come, as long as they could not rob the Great Wei, the Donghu people trapped in the Liaozhou area would not be able to fall into it. Although the land of Liaodong was vast and sparsely populated, the winter was longer and harder than later generations. Many men had to enter the old forest in late spring, enduring the bites of mosquitoes that were not much smaller than their fists, and threatened by poisonous snakes and beasts. They kept picking dried fruits to store them in preparation for winter, fishing, hunting, and constantly storing food, but these backward production methods still could not satisfy the Ministry.

The survival needs of the tribe... No nomadic or fishing and hunting nation can rely on grazing, hunting, and fishing to meet the survival and reproduction of the tribe. Whether it is the Huns, Turks, Khitans, Jurchens, and North American Indians, they rely too much on nature. Once nature does not give them generous gifts, the Indians are plundering and fighting enemies among tribes. The aliens here in China have always gone south to hunt grass valleys and spent difficult time by looting the output of agricultural civilization.

At this moment, these best soldiers knew the important points of this battle. They were quite shocked and moved by it. There were finally some strange expressions on their always cold faces.

Before dark, more than a hundred military officers were arrested and picked up. Yelu Shu hated these people to embarrass him and did not intend to give them decent. He stripped the robes of these military officers and waited for beheading with naked upper body. Under the cold wind at night, these people were frozen and turned blue, and then pressed to the ground one by one. Although their bodies were covered with scars, their muscles were bulging, their bodies were full of strength, and their experience in fighting on the battlefield, they were also extremely cruel. If they were on the battlefield, many people might have injured them, but at this time, they could only kneel on the ground honestly and beheaded with swords one by one.

The first one was a group of ten men and centurions. When they were beheaded, many Donghu people made regretful sounds. These people were all heroes among the tribal soldiers. It was a pity to kill them like this. At the same time, they were also deeply shocked. Thinking of the Khan's orders, many Donghu soldiers showed strange and complicated expressions on their faces. From bottom to top, many people felt that this time they had to fight to the death.

When several thousand commanders were killed, they were due to their status

He was noble, and to the level of a commander of the thousand-man commander, he was already a noble in the Donghu tribe, and even had a thousand-person team for generations. Even if these people were killed, his troops would still be inherited by their tribesmen or descendants. Yelu Shu came over and saw them off with a wine pot.

Everyone didn't say anything, and was calmly punished after drinking. Yelu Shu saw that his beloved subordinate was beheaded with a knife, and turned his head and entered the tent.

At this time, the fire was still bright inside and outside the tent, and Dahan and Zhu Gui were waiting. As soon as Yelu Shu, who was full of murderous aura and alcohol, came in, Che Chenhan nodded slightly and said, "It is necessary to restrain their bodies for today. After the war, I will personally hang out wine to sacrifice them."

Yelu Shu said: "They deserve to be sinful, and they should be wary of all the soldiers."

Wanyan Zongshu said: "Now it's time to think about it, how did this battle be fought."

"Our clans all know that it is a critical moment of life and death..." Wanyan De spoke very slowly. Although he was old, his tone was deep and firm. At this time, the old Yan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "In addition, the soldiers were alert and sad and angry in the army. This is the strongest will of the entire clan and the morale is high. The decisive battle should be held in one or two days. We are old, and for the future of our children, we should give up this body of flesh and blood. Even if I die in this battle, I will have no complaints and sacrifice my life to enter the Buddha's kingdom. What are the regrets of the people?"

After hearing Lao Nayan's words, although some believers in the shamans did not believe in the so-called Buddha's kingdom, it did not prevent everyone from being moved. Even Chechen Khan also had tears in his eyes and said, "My Donghu is the original Khitan. The Jurchen tribes are combined together. Our tribes live a very hard life in this bitter and cold place. If we do not fight against the Great Wei, we do not plunder the Wei people, and we will not be able to obtain the land of the Wei people, the tribes will always suffer. Although I am a great Khan, you are also nobles, but why can't we give up our lives for the tribes? This battle in front of us

If the victory is the great damage to the Wei people, within a few years, I will be north of the Yellow River and move my tribes to the Wei people. Ordinary tribes can also be supported by hundreds of Wei people. Men only ride horses and practice bows and arrows, practice slaughtering, wear armor, defend the country, and women and women, just enjoy wealth and honor. Such a prospect must be told to the soldiers, so that they can know the benefits of the future. It is not that our nobles want to fight the Wei Kingdom, but that all the tribes can get benefits in this war, and even blessing their descendants can enjoy wealth and honor for at least a few hundred years!"

Someone in the palace tent listened to the order and sent out many guards. In the Donghu camp that stretched for more than ten miles, the sound of the Khan's orders spread out again.

Soon, there were shouts like tsunamis in the camp. Everyone listened to them, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Over the past thirty years, the living standards of the Donghu people have improved slightly. Many men in their thirties and forties are quite clear in their hearts that if they had not been invaded the Wei territory many times, plundered a large number of people to farm for the Donghu people and robbed countless supplies, grain, iron tools, robes, miscellaneous items, gold and silver, the Donghu people would have been locusts after entering the territory of the Great Wei territory, and no items that could be taken away would be left. Now, the clothes, utensils, pots and stoves in the houses were mostly snatched from the Great Wei territory. Even the most simple hoes, shovels, shovels, and plows, these items were mostly plundered. Although there were iron ore in the territory, its mining technology was not up to standard and its manpower was insufficient. A small amount of fine iron was used to cast iron armor and build weapons, and there was no spare time to make agricultural tools. All the iron tools in their territory, whether they were farmland or household use, were plundered.

The poverty of these Hu people is unimaginable. They had more of them decades ago.

The arrows made of bones are half-used, and there are no iron armor or decent weapons. They have to keep fishing, hunting and picking dried fruits so that they can survive. They rely on animal oil to block the cold air in winter, but a large number of people will still be frozen to death. Because they lack calories intake, it is normal to be frozen to death. Even a hundred or two hundred years ago, they had degenerated to the point of eating raw meat. If they had not taken the initiative in the war with the Beilu and the Bohai Kingdom, they would have been blocked and degenerated into savages who eat raw meat, the tribe would have split up, forming countless small tribes with hundreds or at most thousands of people, barely living. Once in a disaster year, the children and the elderly in the tribe would die in groups. These things are not long apart, and many Donghu soldiers still remember them freshly.

After dark, the shouts continued. At this time, many Yan in the palace tents were arguing with dozens of thousands of households gathered, and they were already quite tired.

According to many people's ideas, the Wei army set up a battlefield, set up a long trench fence, placed a large number of horse-resisting horses and antlers, and Jinzhou City as the support, which was not conducive to cavalry attacks and rapid battles. However, the current plan is to divide the war into two parts to fight, confront the main force of the Wei army, and then build siege equipment to siege Jinzhou.

Conquering Jinzhou, pressing the Wei army to the front line of Yushuicheng, and then besieging it, digging long trenches to isolate the connection between Yushuicheng and Jinzhou and Songta forts, and cutting off the Wei army's food supply route. This is the safest and safest tactic.

There is only one flaw in this way of fighting, which is that it may last for a long time, but during the confrontation and consumption, the Wei army is likely to be unable to hold back and take the initiative. This will be a better result for the Donghu people, who are mainly cavalry.

If the attack on Jinzhou is unfavorable during the confrontation, or the Donghu logistics collapses first, it is the turning point of this battle. It is very likely that when Jinzhou and the Wei army are fighting in Yushui City, the Donghu people will not be able to lose money and collapse, which will completely collapse and will never be restored.

The other faction's idea is to do its best, ignore Jinzhou, take advantage of the strong morale, and conquer the Wei army's periphery regardless of death or injury, and then use cavalry to defeat the Wei army's front, determine the outcome in one battle, and determine life and death.

Of course, the opponents felt that such a plan was too risky, and on the battlefield about 30 miles, the Wei army was very strong and surrounded by military camps. Judging from the results of the tentative attack, the Wei army reacted very quickly, and the cannons kept sounding, and there were crossbows everywhere in the camp. Whenever the crossbow sounded, the squeaking sound was also frightening... The crossbows were shot very fast, and they would almost shoot in front of them unexpectedly. The brave soldiers who had been through many battles were also extremely afraid of the power of crossbows. Once they reached their bodies, no matter how strong and thick the armor was, they would be useless and would be pierced. Many Donghu soldiers who had been through many battles saw crossbows shooting through human bodies more than once, and even pierced multiple armored soldiers together. This made them very sensitive. When they heard the sound of crossbows, they would be very alert and timid.

The two sides had a long dispute and could not make a decision. In the end, they could only bet on Dahan again.
