Chapter 118: Take the initiative to attack
This expedition, with ten newcomers, namely Zhang Cheng of the Zhang family, Zhu Shikai of the Zhu family, each family has five young people, this period of knowledge, has already hit the only point of self-confidence of this group of young people, green bricks and green tiles, plus the fire kang, every household grows vegetables and fruits, breeds poultry, and each village has a fish pond, which is completely the standard of rich households.
I dare not imagine that this is a territory established by leading a group of aliens in the wild land in their eyes, even if the rich families in Jiangnan live a life, it is nothing more than that, and what surprises them even more is that the people have used a lot of coal, which is a very convenient thing, as well as equipment, and when they enter the army, they know that the equipment is well-equipped, which is completely better than the Xiaoguo army.
"Kill!" Zou Yu pointed at the long stick in his hand and led people to charge ahead.
Dozens of herdsmen were drowned in a single charge, and a few who fled on horseback were also shot dead on the way to escape.
"Don't leave a single one, take everything you can take away!" Zou Yu ordered lightly.
He came this time to kill people and demonstrate, and he wanted to kill the people as quickly as possible, and then march eastward, so when you go to the ground, you immediately divide the ten thousand people into ten teams, spread out one mile apart, and sweep in a carpet manner.
The people are grazing, living by water, advancing along the Danjiang River, killing twelve groups of people in one day, more than hundreds, and less than dozens of herdsmen, this is because the environment is sinister, unlike later generations, a family can live outside for a long time.
At night, when the team gathered, it was counted that in one day, more than 3,000 people were killed, and at the same time, the location of their tribe was also figured out.
There are a lot of cattle, sheep and horses robbed, of course, cattle and sheep are killed and eaten meat, 10,000 elite soldiers, it can be said that the appetite is very large, it is rare to have the opportunity to eat meat openly, it can be said that it is quite fierce, seven or eight people eat a sheep.
Except for the newcomer Zhang Cheng and others, everyone else has a good appetite and is in a good mood.
"General!"
"General!" Seeing Zou Yu coming, Zhang Cheng and the others hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Sit, sit, there are not so many rules on the march. What do you think? Is it unacceptable for a while? Zou Yu beckoned a few people to sit down, and sat down on the ground with a smile.
"It's fine." Zhang Cheng squeezed out a smile and replied.
Zou Yu had long seen that this was a group of young people who had never experienced the battlefield, and it must have been very difficult to accept that they were suddenly faced with slaughter.
"This is Liaodong, and we are dealing with the Tatar people." Zou Yu said in a deep voice.
"But General, those children—" a young man named Zhu Xiu hesitated.
"Do you think we'll let them go, they'll survive? The Tatar tribe attacked Liaodong three times in four years, and if we didn't completely hurt them, we wouldn't be able to rest assured. Zou Yu explained to them. Looking at these young people, I thought of myself who appeared in this world at the beginning, I was so dazed, helpless in my heart, and I couldn't tell my history, if it wasn't for Zhang Zhongjian and others to save their lives, I am afraid that they would have been grave in the grave.
"My subordinates understand, and tomorrow will be fine." Zhu Shikai was afraid that Zou Yu would look down on a few people, so he hurriedly helped.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not used to going to the battlefield for the first time, but tomorrow will be different, tomorrow we will attack the big tribe, don't be too far away from me when the time comes." Zou Yu smiled and admonished.
"Thank you, General!" Several people hurriedly thanked them.
didn't say too much, after all, some things can only be adapted to by yourself, and only you can experience them, Zou Yu left soon.
"I didn't expect the general to be so approachable." A young man from the Zhu family sighed.
"This shows that our choice is lacking, and tomorrow I hope everyone will cheer up and don't lose face again." Zhu Shikai glanced at his companion.
"Brother Zhu, rest assured, the general is not much older than you and me, and he can lay a huge foundation, if he doesn't fight tomorrow, he will have no shame to stay." Zhang Cheng said with a look in his eyes. His words are also a knock on other people, he and others have taken refuge in him, and he has no ability, how to make others reuse.
"Don't worry, eldest brother, even if the younger brother dies, he will never be ashamed!" One said firmly.
"Not bad!"
"Yes, there are only the Zhang family who died in battle, and there are absolutely no cowards!"
Everyone made reassurances, which made Zhang Cheng and Zhu Shikai feel a lot better. Although the name of the Jiangnan family is still hung over the years, it is just because of the long time and there are enough collateral lines, but if you really want to talk about it, everyone just has the same surname, and these cousins who came to Liaodong are already most of the young elites of the family.
After encouraging each other and exchanging ideas, they fell asleep in a daze, woke up again and the sky was already slightly bright, and they ate together, and soon the team set off, except for the sound of the war horse, no one spoke, all of which was seen by Zhu Shikai and others, and secretly sighed that Zou Yu was strict in governing the army. It's just that they don't know that the Liaodong soldiers are all trained by Qin Qiong and Su Dingfang, and of course Zou Yu is also involved, but there is less time.
This time, it was a big tribe in Heishui Ya, with a population of several thousand, and after marching for more than an hour, they arrived near the tribe, and they didn't want to let go, 10,000 cavalry, ten teams were separated, lined up in a distance, and then rushed over.
"Boom, boom!" The sound of horses' hooves woke up the people, and they saw that many people hurriedly stepped on their horses and fled towards the camp, of course, there were also smarter people who did not think about resisting at all, or joining the large army, and fled with their families on horseback from a distance.
For this situation, Zou Yu has no choice, after all, the spread is very wide, and it is daytime, many people are grazing outside, although most of them converge to the camp, it is inevitable that some people are sober-minded.
This is a kind of herd mentality, as well as dependence on home, once people encounter very powerless things, the first thing that comes to mind is relatives, and the place that most wants to return to is home.
It's a pity that the people and horses that were hastily organized were Zou Yu's opponents, even if there were more than 2,000 young people here, they were quickly killed.
Zhang Cheng and Zhu Shikai listened to Zou Yu's words and followed him not far behind, and this time they really saw the ferocity of their great general.
It doesn't look particularly strong, but a stick can even whip people and horses fly, and when you knock it down with a stick, it can make people's flesh blur, and the head bursts like a melon.
If yesterday they were just not accustomed to killing and could not bear to slaughter, then today they were shocked by blood, and of course their morale and courage were aroused.
In the case that Zou Yu deliberately missed it, Zhang Cheng and others also opened one after another, and did not disappoint Zou Yu.
