Chapter 259: Ten Thousand Slaughter!
But he didn't think that if he could defeat Ma Chao's army, would it be worse than the Xiliang army?
The big boss decided to rectify military discipline and make an example of chickens and monkeys!
There happened to be two little leaders who did not obey the order and cursed, which immediately made his heart flutter, when even if the people dragged him to kill the head and hung it on the side of the king's flag. This is the end of not obeying orders.
The Qiang people were accustomed to being casual, and some people did not want to be restrained and threatened to withdraw from the alliance, but before he could go far, he was beheaded by the big leaders who came to besiege him.
Everyone was shocked by the ruthlessness of the big boss, and the scene suddenly changed a lot, and no one dared to disobey the yang and the yin.
The crowd is boiling, the horses are neighing, the Han army is already nearby, but the big leader is not afraid of the past, and even a little excited, at this moment he has a long knife in his hand, and the pride and ambition I have in the world are surging in the chest, no wonder everyone is chasing power, this wonderful feeling that the world is in control, who can not go crazy for it!
Although the Qiang people are made up of East and West, they are all cavalry, and the galloping horses naturally have a natural momentum, such as lightning, such as thunder, into a fierce torrent, swept towards the Han army. Between the two narrow valley roads of the hills, a surging river of thousands of troops and horses is formed, as if it can break through all obstacles and reach the end of the world.
At the end of the valley road, a cavalry appeared in the field of vision, all lightly armored and short swords, although there were only a few thousand people, but they exuded a strong momentum of self-sacrifice
When the brave meet on a narrow road, the Qiang people naturally know this truth, and tens of thousands of people let out a deafening strange scream, which is in stark contrast to the Han army that rushed to silence the whole army and horses.
"See, there are only a few thousand people in the Han army, less than half of us, they all killed me, robbed their property and women, Jinzhou is our paradise!"
The big boss looked a little crazy in the extreme, because his courage was filled with anger, and his face looked a little hideous, like the last struggle of a dying man.
A bow and arrow struck, hitting the forehead of the big leader, with a strong whistling sound, which abruptly stopped his heart-rending voice.
The heavens and the earth were spinning, but the great wheel of life stopped in place, and there was only nostalgia left in his eyes, what a wonderful world it was, he remembered the mare's milk wine at home, and the woman who took care of the housework for him, and her hands were full of calluses. The past is like smoke and rain, so let's disperse like this.
The Qiang people saw that the big leader was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, and they wanted to stop, but once the momentum of the impact of thousands of troops and horses rose, how could they stop at will? They are all vicious people who have been trained for many years, and they live on horseback all year round, so they naturally know this truth very well, especially in such a narrow valley road.
Wei Yue put away the bow and arrows, he tried the range, it was still a little far, and he shot the guy who screamed under the big flag under the horse, and he didn't know if he was dead or not, but it didn't matter, in such a collapse of thousands of troops and horses, even if he was not shot dead, this rushing torrent could trample him into pulp.
He is accustomed to using a longbow, so he can shoot so far, but the special attack battalion is equipped with a fast-firing repeater, although it is fast to fire, and the absolute advantage of firing five arrows at a time, but it also has an obvious disadvantage, that is, the range is too close.
After countless baptisms of war, everyone has long known when to launch and what distance will achieve the best results.
The two armies were fifty paces apart, and the sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded, and the countless arrows rained down were not projectiles, but like a wall of arrows forming a barrier nodule in the air, and it was like a prologue, opening the chapter of the arrival of death.
The rain of arrows endured for a long time, and each release caused a large number of Qiang people to fall off their horses, while the battle formation of the Han army was like an infinitely changing flowing water, after the front army released the arrows, the battle array immediately separated from the left and right, and detoured back to both sides of the Qiang army, creating conditions for the release of the rear army. In this way, an orderly change is formed, just like a bamboo that has been broken in the middle, and it is like a broken bamboo that can be used in this place.
The leader of the Qiang people died at the beginning, and the dragons were leaderless, all fighting by instinct, but the power of the Han army's bows and arrows was really huge, it seemed that there were only a few thousand people, and the bows and arrows that could be fired were as dense as a torrential rain, and no one could be spared, only one round of arrow rain, and many Qiang warriors were killed and wounded.
No one thinks that there is still hope of victory, and the Qiang people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will not complete what they want in their hearts.
The Han army was close at hand, but it seemed to be out of reach, and the short distance of fifty paces, but after nearly half of the warriors were killed or wounded, it still failed to touch the Han army's formation. The front army formed a roundabout way towards the Qiang people in two, so that the rear army always maintained the best firing distance of fifty paces with the Qiang people.
And the Qiang people's consistent combat thinking, so that they can only move forward, and in the narrow valley road, the two sides do not leave them too much room for action, they can not stop, they are manipulated by inertia, as long as they stop, what awaits them is the end of being trampled into pulp by the latecomers, and they don't have to waste the bows and arrows of the Han army.
The soldiers of the special attack battalion on both sides of the detour were not idle, waving the short knives in their hands nearby, harvesting the lives of the Qiang soldiers, and loading the small crossbows they carried with them at a distance, once again slaughtering the Qiang soldiers who were unable to fight back.
The war was very nostalgic and over, there was no thrilling fighting, no deafening war drums, only the endless sound of horses trampling the earth, mixed with the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air, covering up the screams and wails of the Qiang people.
It was a massacre, and the Qiang did not have a chance to fight back from beginning to end. They have always been in a suppressed situation, there are more than 10,000 people, but they can't play the effect they should have, just like a person with great strength but no siblings, who can only be wantonly beaten by others.
At the end of the war, the results were quite fruitful, none of the tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers were caught, and the whole army was wiped out here, and there was not even a single chance to surrender, and the Han army did not even give them a chance to meet in close arms. According to Cao Bao's statistics, the total number of troops in the whole army was 5,315, and now only 5,302 people remain, a full 13 casualties, counting the more than 200 brothers who were injured of varying severity, the casualties were much larger than expected, and this is the cruelty of this war.
At the beginning of the formation of the special attack battalion, Wei Yue was not so active, and even had some resistance, always feeling that it must be Mrs. Yan who put on small shoes for him to stumble, didn't she just beat her husband a few boards? It wasn't voluntary, why did he hold a grudge for more than ten years. For more than ten years, Wei Yue has been walking on thin ice every day in Anyi City, for fear of making another mistake.
But when Lu Bu later equipped him with a short crossbow and helped him demonstrate his tactics for a few days, Wei Yue finally realized the horror of this tactic. It is no wonder that when the first selection was made, the elite of the hundred battles with deep qualifications in the army were not selected, but they were all young men who were good at salvo shooting and did not have much experience in battle formations, according to Lu Bu's words, they were just a blank sheet of paper, which could outline the effect he wanted, but the elite veterans had long been accustomed to the habit of rushing and killing on the battlefield, and it was easy to acquiesce to the old rules, and the implementation of the new tactics would never be so thorough.
In the whole process, he did not fight the enemy in close combat, only used crossbow arrows to swim away from a distance to kill, and harvested the fish that slipped through the net with a short knife.
Although the tactics and arms of war are not omnipotent, at the right time, in the right place, and with the right tactics, then marching and fighting will achieve twice the result with half the effort and be invincible.
Wei Yue rushed from Tianshui County to Jinzhou County for half a month, during this half a month he was not idle, let the soldiers of the special attack battalion train on the spot every day, familiar with the essentials of combat in the mountains and valleys, so the army stopped and stopped, and did not come to Jinzhou in time, so that the Qiang people guarding Jinzhou were more unscrupulous, thinking that the Han army that came this time was still as timid and cowardly as before, giving the Qiang people the idea of making up their minds to fight to the death. In their minds, except for Ma Chao, everyone else is the same.
When the news of the annihilation of the Qiang warriors reached Jinzhou City, the city was full of jubilation, and many people bought firecrackers and set off firecrackers, just like the New Year. The Qiang people in the city seem to be much quieter, many Qiang people live with the Han people, and even intermarry with the Han people, just like Ma Chao who kills the Qiang people like killing pigs and dogs, and his mother is a Qiang woman.
Naturally, there are some kind people among the Qiang people who yearn for the Han culture, but there are always some ambitious people among them, who take advantage of the estrangement between ethnic groups to deliberately create contradictions and conflicts, which makes the hatred between the Han and Qiang people more and more intense.
After Wei Yue led the special attack battalion into the city, hundreds of people greeted him, and many Han people who had been humiliated for several days blocked the road, crying about their tragic experiences and the crimes of the Qiang people, and begging Wei Yue to call the shots for them.
Wei Yue is also a bloody blade, so he can't see his own people being bullied, so he became angry at that time, and dispatched troops to go around to arrest the offenders identified by the people.
This arrest actually arrested thousands of people, these thousands of people committed as big as murder and arson, as small as smashing and plundering, some of which have conclusive evidence, some are difficult to judge right and wrong, Wei Yue can't control so much, he ordered the soldiers to kill all on the spot, he is not a county order, he just cares about right and wrong, and complains to Lord Yama if he has grievances.
After the relatives and friends of thousands of people learned of this bad news, how could they accept it, and immediately entangled their friends to gather to make trouble, the so-called law does not blame the public, they used to be like this, as long as there are many people, the custody of big things into small things.
Wei Yue sneered, unmoved, put down his cruel words and said: "From now on, all those who disobey the troublemaker will be punished as a fellow party of the Qiang people and thieves, and they will be killed!" ”
For three days in a row, the city of Jinzhou was bloody and bloody.
The Qiang people are known for their unity, if a person has something to do, he will attract hundreds of people to cheer for him, so after killing thousands of criminals, the troublemakers came to make trouble one after another, and Wei Yue killed nearly 10,000 illegal troublemakers in various parts of the city, making Jinzhou City full of a bloody smell.
Even some clans of the Han people couldn't bear it, and persuaded Wei Yue not to be too ruthless, but Wei Yue said: "If you break the law but don't want to accept punishment, where is there such a good thing, if my Han people also follow their example, wouldn't it be a big mess in the world, I don't treat the Han people and Qiang people differently, and everyone who commits a crime is the same." ”
The others were speechless for a while, can this be the same, yesterday everyone saw with their own eyes a person who also snatched items, just because it was the Han people who robbed the Qiang people's things, Wei Yue only beat him for twenty boards, you must know that if it is the other way around, it will be a few lives.
After a few days, Jinzhou City finally regained its calm, and the state capital, which had been plagued by the Qiang people, was reopened, and Wei Yue finally didn't have to worry about these trivial matters.
This is a great thing for the Qiang people, I thought that Ma Chao was ruthless enough, but I didn't expect this new Han officer to be even more inhumane, and he was not afraid of Changshengtian punishing him for those things that lost his conscience?
The killing of the days made the city of Jinzhou loud and quiet, not to mention that those Qiang people were killed and broke their courage, even the Han people also had a sad state of mind, feeling that Wei Yue's killing was too much, so Wei Yue had the second widely spread nickname in his life: Wei Butcher!
Two months later, when the Xiliang soldiers who were emptied by Ma Chao returned to the station, Wei Yue thought that he could finally return to the court, this Xiliang's feng shui is really not very good, everything he eats will make him feel sick, and people are about to collapse, and if he continues like this, he will die. Unexpectedly, there was also a letter of appointment and an official seal letter waiting for him at the same time, and Lu Bu appointed him as the assassin of Liangzhou to stabilize the border with the special attack battalion.
Wei Yue almost cried out, this poor mountain and bad water, do you want people to live, I can't help but lament that fate is unfair to me, when I was the commander of the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion, that day was not to mention how moisturized, I didn't expect justice from heaven, I was forced to beat Lu Bu's board, and I was sent to the bitter cold Shuofang to raise horses, and I finally got out, I thought I could enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and return to the center, but I found that I thought too much, and after more than ten years of ups and downs, I didn't even get a decent general, and now I am still a rebellious general, He didn't even touch the sides of the four major generals in the front and back, let alone the position he had dreamed of for a long time: the hussar general.
Only then did he exterminate Ma Chao, if it weren't for Lu Bu secretly giving him a secret letter, he would dare to disobey the general's military order and come to Liangzhou alone to quell the rebellion? He didn't eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall! Only then did I find out that I had a big deal, and King Jin had already dug a pit for him to jump in!
Sure enough, the upright are always victims.
Also sad are the five thousand soldiers of the special attack battalion who came with him, thinking of this, Wei Yue has balanced a lot, especially those young offspring, every time he thinks that they are about to accompany him here, and maybe he will ask a Liangzhou woman to be his mother-in-law, thinking of the Liangzhou woman's dry complexion due to the bitter cold, as well as their two natural blushes, Wei Yue couldn't help laughing again.
