Chapter 188: Recovering the Three Counties and Slaughtering the Aliens
The night was vast, Qin Hao stood solemnly on the low and dilapidated city wall with his hands in his hands, looking up at the dim night sky, and endless goose feathers and heavy snow were slowly falling from the sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After carving kung fu, a thick layer of snow accumulated on Qin Hao's helmet and cloak, and through the dim firelight, he turned out to be a solidified snowman.
From Qin Hao leading 20,000 troops to the three counties of central and northern China, a whole month has passed now, and it is now October of the first year of Zhongping.
In the past month or so, the Central Plains has been changing, with wolf smoke everywhere and rivers of blood, and these have nothing to do with Qin Hao in the far north, who is recovering the three counties in the north step by step.
Qin Hao's luck was very good, just after Qin Hao was about to capture the three counties, a not too heavy snow swept through the north desert and the south of the Hetao region.
Light snow is coming, and heavy snow is naturally not far away. So you don't have to think about it, I'm afraid that Temujin's life this winter will not be too easy.
However, this heavy snow has also made it more difficult to rebuild Yanmen Pass several times, and the consumption of both manpower and materials will increase exponentially, but even so, it is impossible to stop repairing the pass.
If Yanmen Pass is not re-established one day, the northern Xinjiang will not be safe for one day, and for the Yanmen army, there is nothing more important than repairing Yanmen Pass.
After learning that Qin Hao led 20,000 troops to conquer the three counties, Temujin's symbolic resistance led the army to withdraw from the three counties and retreat to the Hetao.
Of course, before Temujin withdrew, he also took away 30,000 Huns and young people, and he disgusted Qin Hao before leaving.
Temujin actually wanted to take all the Huns in the three counties away, after all, the Xiongnu had suffered too much loss in the previous war, and moving them all away could also preserve more vitality for the Xiongnu.
But Qin Hao came too fast, Lu Bu just left with the front foot, and Qin Hao hit with the back foot, so if they all moved away, it was too late at all, and if they were caught up by the Yanmen cavalry, they would not be able to go.
In the end, Temujin decisively gave up all the materials in the three counties, and only took away 30,000 Xiongnu elites, who were elite cavalry after a simple training.
Qin Hao also admired the decisiveness of the strong man Temujin's broken wrist, after all, with such a large territory and population, it is not that you can give up if you give up.
However, Temujin did make the most correct decision, in that case, if the Xiongnu still faced the Shangyanmen army, they would definitely die!
Of course, Temujin's withdrawal from the three counties does not mean that there will be no resistance in the three central and northern counties.
Among the three counties in the north and central China, there are only 100,000 Han people, while there are 200,000 Hu people, including 780,000 Xiongnu and more than 100,000 other tribes.
Even if the main force of the Xiongnu was wiped out by the Yanmen army, the other Hu tribes still had some ability to resist.
These Hu people have been enslaving the Han people for twenty years, and suddenly one day they are ruled by the Han people, so naturally they will not be captured obediently.
And for these Hu people who continue to resist stubbornly, Qin Hao will naturally not be soft, and the difference in combat power between these tribes and the Yanmen army is too big, and it is not a level at all.
Under the butcher's knife of the Yanmen army, all the Hu people, including the Xiongnu, who dared to resist, were finally killed, and half of the 25 counties in the three counties directly surrendered.
As for those county towns that still refused to surrender, Qin Hao was not in a hurry, leading the Yanmen army and the doglegs who had taken refuge to attack one by one, he was afraid that the labor force to build Yanmen Pass would not be enough!
In this siege war, the role of the fierce generals of the Yanmen army was fully reflected.
The Hu people defending the city were not very strong, and Zhao Yunqin used Yue Fei, Qin Qiongwei, Chi Gongwei, Guan Sheng, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other top fierce generals to personally participate in the siege.
With the addition of these top generals, the city walls of the three counties, which are not very high, are like tissue paper for the Yanmen army, which can be broken at the first poke.
In just one month, under the overwhelming offensive of the Yanmen army, the three counties in the north and central have basically been recovered, and the casualties of the Yanmen army themselves are extremely low.
In the final analysis, the ability of the fierce generals to clear the army is too strong, and a city with 2,000 defenders is captured, and the number of people who die in the hands of the generals alone is as high as 1,000.
Of course, there is also a point because Qin Hao used the Hu people to deal with the Hu people in order to reduce losses and demoralize the Hu people.
Turning enemies into friends, nourishing the war with war, and constantly strengthening oneself in battle, is the highest state of the art of war...... One!
I have to say that these Hu people are ruthless to the Han people, but they are even more ruthless to their own people, but those who die are all Hu people, and Qin Hao is not distressed.
The effect of driving Hu and attacking Hu is very obvious, after a month of siege battle, the Yanmen army lost less than 2,000, but the results caused by the battle were more than 30,000, watching the Hu people kill each other, the soldiers of the Yanmen army did not mention how happy they were.
Jiuyuan is the hometown of Lu Bu, among the twenty-five counties of the three counties in the north and south, Jiuyuan is the largest and the strongest in defense, and now it is the last fortress of the Hu people of the three counties to resist the Yanmen army.
But this fortress, which was the last hope of all the Hu people, was attacked by a bunch of top generals of the Yanmen Army and the same people, and it was broken by the Yanmen Army after only two days.
The leaders and nobles of the various tribes who rebelled against the rule of the Yanmen Army were basically in Jiuyuan City, but they were usually on top, but at this time, they were suffering the most tragic ravages and slaughters.
Qin Hao could accept the ordinary herdsmen among the Hu people, but he could not accept the Hu leaders and nobles who fought against the Yanmen army.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
If these provocative ones are not cleaned up, the three counties in the north and central will never be at peace, and only by killing all these people can the three counties truly return to the embrace of the Yanmen army!
Moreover, whether it is out of the need for the integration of forces and resources, or the need to reward the soldiers under his command, Qin Hao must take these Hu nobles under his command.
Since it is a war, the defeated side should have the consciousness of the vanquished, which is both a punishment for the defeated and a reward for the victor.
In this troubled world, the winner is king, and the defeated have no human rights!
If you don't want to die, you have to ask someone else to die.
If you don't want to be killed, you have to kill someone else.
The law of troubled times, it's that simple!
Inside the Nine Plains City, the flames soared into the sky, and the screams of men, the moans of women, and the cries of children echoed together.
The Yanmen army has long formed an iron-like fine military discipline, but these military disciplines are all set for the Han people, and the Xiongnu and Hu people are not within this range.
The order of the Lord to slaughter, the Yanmen army has revenge, and if there is no revenge, it will take revenge, you must know that there are not many opportunities to slaughter the Hu people!
Standing at the head of the city and looking at this hell on earth, Qin Hao's heart was as cold as the ice and snow falling in the sky.
Mu Guiying walked out from behind, thoughtfully dusted off the snow on Qin Hao's body, and put on a fox fur coat for Qin Hao.
