The army set out from Yangping Pass.
March for three days.
Zhou Heng and the others finally approached the city of Xiyi.
"In front of Your Highness is Shazhou City in Xiyi. It used to be the place where I traded with Xiyi in Dazhou. We can add a lot of things there."
Cho Dan took out the map and showed it to Zhou Heng.
In the past half a day, Zhou Heng finally saw Shazhou City.
The city of Shazhou City does not look big, and the city walls are a little dilapidated, as if it has not been repaired for a long time.
"Can you take Shazhou City in half a day?"
Zhou Heng asked the people in front of him.
"able."
Du Mao nodded, it would not be a problem to win a sandbar city in half a day.
"Okay, tell me how many soldiers and horses you want. I want to enjoy the sunset on the tower of Shazhou City before sunset." Zhou Heng handed over the task of attacking Shazhou City to Du Mao.
"Thirty thousand soldiers and horses."
Du Mao said.
"Your Highness, I only need 20,000 troops!" Feng Zheng stepped forward and said at this time, when Feng Zheng was injured and did not participate in the attack on Hanzhong City to destroy Zhu You.
This made Feng Zheng somewhat regretful.
Now is their first battle against Xiyi, so naturally they want to fight to prove to everyone how powerful Feng Zheng is.
"General Feng is injured and needs to rest for a few more days. Let me come this time, and I will bring 20,000 people over." Du Mao rushed forward without waiting for Feng Zheng to react. He took the flag in his hand.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I will surely live up to my fate."
Du Mao said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, you're cheating."
Feng Zheng said with some reluctance that Zhou Heng hadn't made it clear who was going to attack Shazhou City, yet Du Mao went directly to take the command flag.
"Originally, I was the one who said this first. First come, first served. You should line up at the back. Besides, there are so many cities in Xiyi, so wait a little longer."
Du Mao persuaded Feng Zheng.
Zhou Heng glanced at Feng Zheng, and then at Du Mao.
"Du Mao's military order is like a mountain. Since you have accepted the military order, you must complete your mission, otherwise I will follow the military law." Zhou Heng reminded Du Mao.
No rules, no standards.
?Rules are needed at all times, especially in the military. In a war, Zhou Heng can allow everyone to come here at will.
However, there must be rules in the military.
"yes."
Du Mao nodded.
Du Mao attacked Shazhou City with 20,000 people.
"Your Highness, do you think Du Mao can succeed?" Li Ke asked with some concern.
"Yes, if he can't even take down a Shazhou city, he is too bad." Zhou Heng said with a smile, Du Mao has some skills in good things.
Besides, they were making a surprise attack, Shazhou City was unprepared, and Du Mao had already taken the lead.
Sure enough.
Three hours passed.
"Your Highness, General Du took down Shazhou City, and he said he would invite you to drink tea on the tower." Du Mao sent someone to report to Zhou Heng.
"Walk."
Zhou Heng nodded in satisfaction, Du Mao did not disappoint himself.
Enter Shazhou City.
Zhou Heng stepped onto the gate tower.
"Your Highness!" Du Mao smiled smugly.
"well done."
Zhou Heng raised his thumbs up. The attack on Shazhou City was their first battle, and they had to win. Du Mao did not disappoint himself, which made Zhou Heng very satisfied.
"Thank you Your Highness!"
Du Mao said gratefully
When the army entered the city, Zhou Heng had ordered not to hurt or disturb the people, so everyone was very law-abiding.
"Why!"
Suddenly there was a shout from the front.
Jun Buqi and others immediately stood in front of Zhou Heng, thinking that someone was going to assassinate Zhou Heng.
I only saw a person rushing out from the street. The person who rushed out was tall, wearing gray tattered clothes, unkempt, and said that his feet were bound by iron chains.
But even so, this person was extremely fast, and within a few steps he opened the distance from the person chasing behind him.
This person rushed towards Zhou Heng and the others.
"Protect Your Highness!"
Cho Dan shoutedWith a sound, the shield soldier immediately raised his shield in front of him, forming an iron wall to resist the person in front of him.
Behind this person are five or six strong men, these strong men are holding sticks, and their faces are full of anger, like a fierce god.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
Following the shouting, he followed closely.
The strong man rushed in front of Zhou Heng and others, and knelt down directly, "Please Your Highness, save me!" The strong man looked up at Zhou Heng, clasped his fists, and begged Zhou Heng to save himself.
"who are you?"
Zhou Heng asked lightly.
"The villain is from Ning Qiang in Hanzhong, named Xu Xiang. He was captured by Xiyi after the city was broken." Xu Xiang hurriedly explained his identity to Zhou Heng.
"Your Highness, it seems that this person is a slave."
After hearing this, Li Ke immediately whispered something in Zhou Heng's ear.
"Slave?"
Zhou Hengxin said there are still slaves?
"This is a normal thing. When the two countries are at war, there are captured soldiers and civilians. They will all be captured as slaves and coolies."
Li Ke explained to Zhou Heng that war is so cruel, the loser has no dignity at all, you can only be slaughtered by others.
"I see."
Zhou Heng also understood the matter after Li Ke explained.
It seems that Xu Xiang in front of him went after the Xiyi army defeated Ning Qiang, and was captured and turned into a slave in Shazhou City.
"How many people like you are there in the city?" Zhou Heng asked again.
"About 2,000 people. We were brought in a total of 2,000 people. As for whether they were sent to other places, I don't know." Xu Xiang answered Zhou Heng's question.
Xu Xiang stared at Zhou Heng closely.
He thought that this would be the end of his life, that he could only be a slave and work hard to survive, but he didn't expect Zhou Heng to lead his army to attack Xiyi, and even took down Shazhou City.
As soon as Xu Xiang knew about it, he tried his best to break free, only hoping to have a glimmer of life.
"Your Highness, please help me!"
Xu Xiang begged Zhou Heng to rescue him.
"Don't worry, since you are a citizen of my Great Zhou, I naturally want to save you. How did you escape?" Zhou Heng looked at the chains on Xu Xiang's hands and feet. Xu Xiang is the object of key care.
"I broke the chain and rushed out."
Xu Xiang said.
He also broke it twice, but he didn't escape both times. After all, Shazhou City is full of Xiyi people. How could Xiyi people help him, an outsider, who is still a slave.
After escaping twice and being caught twice, the other party replaced Xu Xiang with a thicker iron chain. At the same time, you also reduced the meals, worrying that Xu Xiang would be full and have the strength to escape.
Break the chain?
Zhou Heng looked at Xu Xiang, if so, he really has some skills.
"Your Highness!"
Just as Xu Xiang was about to speak, Zhou Heng raised his hand to interrupt Xu Xiang.
"You get up first, I'm in charge of this matter!" Zhou Heng asked Xu Xiang to get up and stand aside.
Soon the people who were chasing Xu Xiang also came to Zhou Heng and the others. Seeing Zhou Heng and the army behind him, the people who chased them showed a bit of panic.
