Chapter 438: The Ministry of Others

The northern grasslands in May are the most beautiful season of the year, such as the green carpet of grass stretching to the end of the field of vision, all as far as the eye can see, dotted with some colorful unknown wildflowers in the patches of green, white as clouds, red as fire, pink delicate, purple mysterious ......, although it looks very messy, but does not destroy the peace of the whole grassland.

This is the best time of the year to graze cattle and sheep, if after August, the grass and trees begin to wither and yellow, if the cattle and sheep do not store the fat for the winter, then to the cold north wind blowing, it will not be able to survive the long winter.

Therefore, the great battles on the grassland generally do not take place in summer and autumn, and usually only winter is the time to understand the grievances on the grassland.

But there is no one absolute in everything, the Khitan people of the Songmo Prefecture launched an attack on the yellow head in the spring, the two sides from the beginning of the misfire between the herdsmen, things seem to have become no longer controlled, the Khitan people seem to be ready to drive the yellow head away from the upper reaches of the Huangshui, the yellow head is naturally unwilling to lead the herdsmen away from this rich pasture, the battle between the two sides quickly expanded from a few hundred people to tens of thousands.

Compared with the Khitans, the strength of the yellow head is still too weak, even if all the people are soldiers, they can only barely make up 20,000 cavalry, but their combat effectiveness is not at the same level as the Khitans.

The war between the two sides has been fought from spring to summer, and it seems that it will not stop without distinguishing a winner or loser, and with the addition of the Da Ji Department and the Da Lei Department, this war that no one can understand has become more confusing.

The war came to this point, and everyone found that the Khitan people did not go all out, but only dispatched the troops of two of the eight Khitan divisions to fight with the yellow head, which seemed to be menacing, but in fact, all the attacks seemed a bit anticlimactic, obviously able to eliminate the yellow head, but at the critical time, the yellow head escaped from the encirclement and lost the opportunity to be completely annihilated.

Huang Tou seemed to sense something, led his soldiers to fight a guerrilla war with the Khitans, and when he saw the Khitans chasing, he led the army to retreat to the north, and when the Khitans went back to rest, he would lead the army to appear in front of the Khitans again.

The war between the Khitans and the Yellow Head seemed to be extremely fierce, but in fact, the Yellow Head suffered a small loss in the early stage, far from the extent of breaking the muscles and bones.

Compared with the yellow head, today's Uro Protector ...... Now it should become the Black Domain, and many of the tribes of Murowei believe that the Uro Protectorate had weakened last winter, and was annexed by a group called the Emerging Black Tribe.

This phenomenon is very common in Murowei, large tribes can disappear unconsciously, small tribes can also appear overnight, and the small tribes that have risen are the most delicious food in the eyes of many large tribes.

The appearance of the Black Domain City made the surrounding big tribes blush all of a sudden, and those big tribes who didn't know what a city was were surprised to find one day that a majestic city appeared under their noses, in addition to greed or greed.

Wang Peng has already blocked the news of Black Domain City very well, any herdsman who is close to Black Domain City fifty miles will be closely monitored, if it appears within twenty miles, it will mysteriously disappear, until the end of April, no other tribe knows about the existence of Black Domain City.

But one day, a cavalry chased a group of herdsmen and appeared in the north of Heiyu City, and when Wang Peng sent troops to strangle them, several cavalry were very lucky to escape from the encirclement.

Soon Wang Peng learned that this cavalry was coming from there, a medium-sized tribe from further north, called the Ruzhibu, who lived in the territory of the later Oroqen tribe, and had also suffered heavy losses due to the heavy snowfall of the previous year, and ventured south in search of new pastures. For example, the tribe did not go south directly, but looked for a new place to live as they went, and at the same time annexed small tribes along the way to make up for the losses they suffered.

Wang Peng didn't know what it meant to have a city that appeared in the territory of Murowei before, although he had done countless countermeasures in advance, but after the Ruzhi Department discovered the Black Domain City, he realized that those previous thoughts were still a little biased.

After discovering the Black Domain City, which had not yet been built, the Ruzhi Department launched the most fierce attack on the Black Domain City as soon as possible, and Wang Peng, who was ideologically unprepared, was almost driven out of the Black Domain City by the Ruzhi Ministry.

"These Ru people are crazy!" Wang Peng stood on the ruined city wall in a daze, just under the city wall, there were countless charred black corpses, those ubiquitous flies covered the corpses like black clouds, and when they heard the vibration, they flew away like black clouds, and then fell again.

"Plus this time, it should be the sixth attack in five days, haven't these Ruzhi people considered sending someone to negotiate?" Zhen Forty-three on the side said with a sad face.

"What is the battle damage today?"

"Fifty-six people were killed in the direct battle, thirty-one people were seriously wounded, and eighty-two people were lightly wounded, and now the wounded barracks are already overcrowded, if we continue to fight, we will have no soldiers to fight?"

Wang Peng originally thought that the Wuluo Protectors he had just gathered would have no intention of fighting and were ready to abandon Black Domain City, but as soon as the war started, Wang Peng found that he was wrong again.

Those Wuluo guards were even more heroic and fearless than Wang Peng's guards, without the cover of a shield, wearing only a beast skin on their bodies, and actually stood on the head of the city and shot at the cavalry under the city, Wang Peng, who saw this scene, knew that it was not impossible for him to defend the Black Domain City.

The Wuluo Protectors are more worried than Wang Peng and others about being captured by the Ruzhi Division, and the annexation between tribes on the grassland often kills men who are taller than the wheels.

Although today's Black Domain City cannot be described as old, weak, sick and disabled, the two most elite armies under Wang Peng are outside and have not returned, resulting in the fact that the defense of Black Domain City is now empty.

Now Wang Peng just wants to delay time, the strength of the current Black Domain City will not last long, there are too many enemies, such as the five thousand cavalry of the Ministry of the Black Domain City is not at all able to confront the Black Domain City head-on, only after Zhen Sixteen and Zhen Eighteen return with their troops, there will be hope of victory.

At the beginning, the Ruzhi Department stupidly attacked the Black Domain City from the front, and the city wall up to about three zhang became a hell for the cavalry of the Ruzhi Division, and those cavalry of the Ruzhi Department did not know how to attack the city at all, so they left their good war horses and attacked with the strategy of building a human ladder, and as a result, they were burned by the fire oil bombs thrown on the city wall, and they lost three or four hundred people in just two quarters of an hour.

The Ruzhi Division, which suffered a big loss, quickly reacted, and the war they had never seen before did not let the murderous Ruzhi cavalry give up, and soon they discovered the weakness of the Black Domain City, the walls on both sides of the Black Domain City were only half as high as the front city wall, which made the Ruzhi Department change its offensive strategy and began to launch the fiercest attack on the Black Domain City from the left and right wings!
