The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 510
After bidding farewell to his family, he led the army and set off. This time the troops were all cavalry, and the carriages were all specially made. They could transport goods very quickly and would not drag down the army.

Go to the city at the forefront of Tubo.

On the road, I saw many Tubo people farming, after several months of rule.

The people who were managed by Daxia officials no longer had much resentment towards Daxia's army.

After all, their life is better now than before, and they have received more land.

Although all their good horses were confiscated, they were given cattle as compensation.

Let the local people make a living by farming and grazing as a supplement.

And all the houses of the powerful were distributed to the common people, so that the local people could have houses to live in, livestock to feed, and fields to cultivate.

Every household is much richer than before.

After the food is harvested, the family will have spare money to buy more things.

Most Tubo people are very satisfied with their current life. They can't resist anyway, so they might as well live a good life.

Whether they were ruled by Tubo or Daxia, they had little impact.

Of course, there are some unwilling people who still hate Daxia very much.

Some people fled overnight and headed for Tibetan territory.

Others tried to attack officials sent by Daxia.

He never showed mercy to these people and killed them all on the spot.

Lin Hai's policy is that those who do not cherish the good living conditions given to you and dare to cause trouble must be dealt with severely and will not be tolerated.

The army pressed on the territory, and Tubo quickly got the news.

After more than half a year of recuperation, I finally regained some strength.

The lost troops and horses were fully replenished, but they were completely frightened by Daxia.

Don't dare to take the initiative to attack again.

In order to boost morale, King Adagu of Tubo personally came to the city to supervise the battle.

The person leading the army to fight was still General Mokhto.

He was the only general in Tubo who was most capable of defeating him, even though he was defeated last time.

And lost a large area of ​​territory.

Mohetuo was not demoralized by this, but tried his best to help gather troops and horses to continue the fight against Daxia.

After all, other than him, other troops leading the army were no match for Daxia.

Adagu also trusted Mokhto very much and put all the troops under his command.

"Mohto, are you sure you can block Daxia's attack this time?" Although Adagu behaved very calmly in front of the soldiers, he felt very guilty in his heart.

He had also heard about what happened to the Turks, and Daxia was actually able to defeat the Turks steadily.

Their army could not even compare with the Turks, and a head-on confrontation would only lead to death.

Moreover, the Turks are now in civil strife and have no ability to send troops to help them.

The Xia army came to attack aggressively, and the only one who could save Tubo was himself.

"Daxia's artillery has become more and more powerful, and we are no match for them in frontal combat.

The only way is to rely on the city to resist their army.

In the past, when Daxia's strength was weak, they could rely on the city to resist our attacks.

Now that Daxia has become stronger, we just need to learn from Daxia’s defensive experience.

And in the past few months a large number of heavy crossbows have been produced, which have a longer range than their artillery.

The general thought that as long as we defended ourselves and did not take the initiative to attack, Daxia would not be able to pose a threat to us. "

Mokhto patiently analyzed the strengths of both sides for Adagu.

At this point, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Mokhto's opinion was very clear. He relied on city defense and would not go out to meet the enemy even if he was killed.

Although only one-third of the country is left, it is still better than losing the country.Adagu did not oppose Mokhto's strategy.

"With you here, I feel relieved! All the armies are under your command. We must defend the city and never let Daxia's army advance even half a step."

Mohetuo clasped his fists and said: "The general will fight with all his strength. As long as the general is still there, it is absolutely impossible for Daxia's army to cross the pond even half a step."

However, the battle was imminent, so the king quickly retreated to the safety of the city.

It is too dangerous here, and the king must not stay here and take risks. "

Adagu's attitude was very resolute, and he said with a firm face: "I will never leave, and I can't watch you bleeding in the front while I enjoy it in the rear.

This king must advance and retreat together with all the soldiers in the city.

I believe that as long as I work with the soldiers, we will be able to stop Daxia's army. "

After hearing what he said, Mokhto felt happy and a little worried.

If the king can stay in the city and advance and retreat together, it will definitely improve the morale of the soldiers.

When fighting a war, move forward courageously and never retreat.

But Mohetuo was a little afraid of Daxia's strength, once the city was breached.

It won't be that easy to escape again.

Mokhto persuaded him several times, but Adagu was determined not to leave.

Because he had no way to retreat, Tubo did not have many cities to begin with.

Once this big city was captured, Daxia's army marched in.

I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to become a king.

Once more territory is lost, tax revenue will simply not be enough to support such a large army.

If it weren't for the fact that many people were so nostalgic for the past, they would come over to join the army.

His [-]-strong army could not even be gathered together.

But it is already very laborious to maintain these tens of thousands of troops.

After all, most of the land in Tubo is very barren and cannot support too many people.

Mokhto persuaded him several times and saw that Adagu really wanted to stay and fight the enemy together.

I had no choice but to agree.

Immediately tell all the soldiers the news. As expected, the soldiers were all very excited when they heard the news.

I am very energetic when working.

In order to be able to defend the city, they made full preparations.

The conditions of Tubo are better than those of Turks. At least they can easily collect stones.

A ditch was dug outside the city wall to prevent Daxia's army from easily rushing under the city wall.

A large number of stones were also prepared. Whenever Daxia's army comes to attack, stones will be the best weapons.

Of course, there are many other things prepared.

Mokhto performed it many times and felt that nothing was missed.

Even if Daxia's army is very strong, it will be difficult to break through their city.

What's more, they have been trying their best to strengthen and raise the city wall in the past six months. Even Mokhto himself finds it difficult to break through such a strong city.

After waiting for a few days, the scouts brought back news that Daxia's army was less than a hundred miles away.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and all the soldiers were preparing for battle.

Mokhto came to the city wall and waited for the arrival of Daxia's army.

Adagu also got the news and came to the city wall to inspect the situation.

I want to see for myself how powerful Daxia's army is.

At least until there is no fight, it is not dangerous on the city wall.
