Chapter 316: Strange
Chapter 316 is strange
Pioneers, open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water. www.biquge.infoDoing the hardest and most difficult work and fighting the hardest battle is the hardest and most difficult occupation in the army, and it is also the easiest place to make military achievements. But because it is too hard and difficult, although the rewards are high, but the risks are higher, so the average army is not very happy to do this work.
Of course, this general army does not include the Xiang Jiajun, which is an army composed of pure vanguards.
However, when the vanguard is made up of civilian prisoners of war, the meaning is completely different. Naturally, they have no military merits to speak of, but the hardest and most tiring work is inevitable. And more importantly, they have to fight the toughest battle. Since they are prisoners of war, in order to prevent them from turning back, it is impossible to give them ordnance in any case, and without ordnance to go to the battlefield barehanded, such an army is not called an army, it is called cannon fodder. Once expelled to the battlefield, there is no life.
This was undoubtedly cruel, but Ziyan had no reason to stop Xiang Yu.
As the Minister of Logistics, no one knows better than Ziyan the price paid by the Xiang family's army on this road.
That's right, the disparity in the proportion of battle losses is against the sky, but how can this ratio be compared to the number of Xiang Jiajun and grassland herdsmen? Those lost soldiers are really buried forever in this land they hate, the vast grassland is not my race, where can they go to find a source of soldiers?
We can only try to reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
Even if it is hypocritical, Ziyan admits it. Her mercy can only be in her own people, to other peoples? If there is no conflict of interest, she does not mind showing that she treats her equally, but for a hostile nation, except for showing off her benevolence as a victor to the loser after a total victory, other situations are avoided.
The more brutal their methods became, the more resolute the resistance they encountered.
It's normal, if you don't resist, you die, and if you surrender, there is no way to live, and in the vast majority of cases, the vast majority of people love life and don't have the habit of killing themselves.
The casualties of the Xiang Jiajun were contained, but the damage caused increased exponentially.
There is no doubt that the nomads themselves are a people with only tribes and no people, and in a year of famine, the war between their tribes is as fierce as the invasion of Kyushu, and the difference between the war and the locust crossing is that they did not even gnaw the turf.
The victor will turn an entire tribe of the defeated side into slaves, not like the Central Plains, only the ruling class and sinners will become slaves and lowly people, although the people are third-class citizens but still citizens, they will directly become slaves, whether they kill or release, and give and give are all in the thought of the winner. So as long as the herdsmen who expelled them did not expel them to their own tribes, there was no pressure on them to kill.
In addition, some small means of Ziyandong, such as specially letting go of a certain medium-sized tribe to create the illusion that they are the internal response of the Xiang family's army, cracking down on certain tribes, and taking a certain tribe lightly, etc., make their tribes unable to form an alliance with each other, and cannot be twisted into a rope to fight against the Xiang family's army.
However, when they swept through half of the grassland, they finally ran into trouble.
Another almost routine capture of captives and torture of the news, and they are two peoples after all, the difference is too obvious that most of the means of finding out the news are useless. They don't have any savings in the border army, and Xiang Jiajun doesn't have the concept of use at all, so if they want to get Diyo's hand information, they can only use this simplest and crude method.
Ziyan frowned as he looked at the bleeding Hun nobles in front of him.
The higher you stand, the farther you can see, and the nobles always know more than the average creep. And the general polarization of the aristocracy is more serious, either with outstanding willpower, or with fat brains, greedy for life and fear of death, to pry open their mouths, sometimes there is no need to go out of the horse with purple smoke.
But this time, the soldiers who were temporarily trained were obviously overwhelmed by the continuous torture, and they even killed several of them by mistake and didn't get the news they wanted, so Ziyan had to go out to gnaw these hard bones in person.
In front of him, who is obviously an iconic hero of the steppe, stands out from the herdsmen with outstanding riding skills and martial arts, and is newly entered the aristocratic class. His eyes are firm and his muscles are strong, and he looks like a sturdy man, but he has lost his breath.
Of course, it is not a side effect after the success, otherwise Ziyan will not stay in front of the corpse and will leave directly.
So, the question arises, why did this man die?
Drug overdose? Dear, don't make trouble, Bai Yan was caught and poisoned by Ziyan from time to time, and he has long been trained to become a skilled worker, and several people have died in front, and Bai Yan will not be so carelessly overdosed. And the physical fitness of this Xiongnu nobleman is obviously very good, even if it is a little excessive, he does not die so simply.
Ziyan didn't think deeply about this question, the corpse that had just died exuded a thick evil aura, and even the calamity she had almost become accustomed to made it difficult for her to continue to persevere. In order not to faint here and be with this corpse, Ziyan had to summon Yunyan to help her back.
But...... It seems a little late.
Because the information that always arrived on time was delayed, whether it was because of the exhaustion of patience or the concern for Ziyan or just to find an excuse to see his sweetheart, Xiang Yu came in person.
Ziyan, who had just been ordered by himself and had killed people and was tormented by the evil qi, was rushed by the evil qi emitted by Xiang Yu, the mobile evil qi source who had just come down from the battlefield, and his eyes went black and he fainted.
Xiang Yu...... Xiang Yu can imagine how much he was hit. looked at the beauty excitedly, but the beauty turned into a patient directly when she looked at him...... Are you here to fight?!
Whether Xiang Yu is in the mood to be hit now is still a question, because he is very busy now. Busy...... Run......
snatched Ziyan from Yunyan's hand and ran to her carriage, and while running, she still had time to call the military doctor.
Yunyan was a little calmer than Xiang Yu, because she had actually guessed a little bit of the cause of Ziyan.
But it was because she knew the cause of Ziyan, so when she reacted that the person who grabbed people was Xiang Yu, she was not calmer than Xiang Yu.
And then there'...... also ran all the way, wanting to catch up with Xiang Yu and snatch the purple smoke back.
Well, let's not talk about whether you can grab it or not, at least "if you want to catch up with Xiang Yu", this is a seemingly impossible thing.
Grass! Why are you running so fast? That's a lot of legs!
