Chapter 109: Wuhuan Offends the Side
Zhao Yi's army entered the city, and the situation changed abruptly. Zhao Yi's official army currently dominates Zhuo County, and the civilian power is low to a deep valley. Since ancient times, there is no first, and there is no second. The civil and official battles in the court should never end, but the battlefield battles will eventually have a day when the winner will be decided.
At this moment, Zhao Yi took over the military power of Zhuo County, Qin Zhong and others were afraid of the soldiers in Zhao Yi's hands, and every time they discussed political affairs, after explaining the situation in the territory one by one, they always tried to explain their views and handling methods, waiting for Zhao Yi to make a final decision.
However, Zhao Yi's policy is quite effective, even though Qin Zhong and others don't like to be pressed by Zhao Yi, they still admire Zhao Yi's talent.
Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the lives of the people of Zhuo County have slowly calmed down, and Zhao Yi's hydrosol business has done very well in Youzhou, helping Zhao Yi earn a lot of money.
Seeing that Zhao Yi's status in the hearts of the people was increasing day by day, Qin Zhong and the others had to put away their fangs and wait for the opportunity to bite Zhao Yi again.
After two months of training and running-in, the quality of the 25,000 soldiers of the Zhuojun battalion improved rapidly under the training of Tai Shici and others.
There are few political affairs today, Zhao Yi came to inspect the barracks, and watched the cavalry simulate the killing, his eyes flashed.
Tai Shici, who was dressed in military uniform, saw Zhao Yi coming here, and walked over and bowed: "My lord." ”
Zhao Yi asked Tai Shici: "General, how many cavalry are there in our army at this time?" ”
"There are only about 4,000 people." Tai Shi Ci replied. "And among them, the soldiers are uneven."
Everyone is different and makes up this colorful society. Zhao Yi also had some understanding of this situation, and groped his chin: "I'm afraid that this kind of training will not work, everyone's qualifications are different, and the effect of training on them is naturally different." Zhao Yi's eyes rolled and thought of a way: "In this way, general, you will select a thousand brave soldiers from these four thousand people, form an army, and conduct special training for them." If used properly, this army can become a sharp sword in our hands in the future. ”
Tai Shici's eyes lit up: "What the adults said is extremely true. The last general will go and prepare. Zhao Yi's thoughts coincided with Tai Shici's thoughts, concentrating the elite soldiers on one point, and he would be like a bamboo.
The people of Youzhou are complicated, and foreign races often invade, Zhao Yi's move is also to prepare for the Xianbei cavalry in the future, fighting against this kind of nomadic people, the infantry lacks mobility, and there will be heavy casualties in fighting with it. The best thing to do is cavalry against cavalry.
The soldiers were fighting in full swing, and Zhao Yi was seeing the rise, and Qin Zhong came to Zhao Yi panting: "My lord, the Wuhuan tribe of Shanggu County has invaded my Zhuo County!" As he spoke, he glanced at the barracks and found that Cheng Yin, who was temporarily the lieutenant, was sitting under the tent reading and drinking tea. He didn't care how the soldiers were trained or how they changed.
Cheng Yin is just a lieutenant on the surface, but it is Tai Shici and others who are really in charge of the army.
"Wuhuan tribe?" Zhao Yi stood up and ordered the soldiers around him: "Order the soldiers to gather!" ”
Taking advantage of the rapid assembly of the army, Zhao Yi asked Qin Chong: "What is the situation now?" ”
Qin Chong swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I have several villages on the border between Zhuo County and Shanggu County, and the property and grain have been robbed by the Wuhuan tribe. ”
"His hands are long enough to reach out in the upper valley. Dare to come to my Zhuo County to make trouble, I really don't know whether to live or die. Zhao Yi snorted coldly, "How many troops are the Wuhuan tribe?" ”
"About three thousand people. It was a light cavalry. "This is not the time for infighting, if something goes wrong with Zhuo County, his Qin Chong's head will also be moved. Tell you what you know.
Seeing that the soldiers had been assembled, Zhao Yi personally led 4,000 cavalry to take the lead. The people of Youzhou are extremely complex, and most of them intersect with other races. Zhao Yi knows a little about Wuhuan.
In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a leader of the Wuhuan tribe led all the tribesmen to move inward, and was allowed to settle near several counties in Youzhou. These Wuhuan tribes who moved inwards gradually formed three strongholds in Youzhou, namely Wuhuan in Liaoxi, Wuhuan in Shanggu near Shanggu County, and Wuhuan in Liaodong near Liaodong County, which are generally collectively referred to as Wuhuan in Three Counties.
Although the Wuhuan people who moved inward were sheltered by the Eastern Han Dynasty many times, they were not grateful, and the Wuhuan people in the three counties were the most powerful, often leading other small migratory tribes to rob the counties, and some even colluded with rebels to launch rebellions. If the Eastern Han Dynasty was strong, the Wuhuan people naturally did not dare to rob the village people, but unfortunately, the imperial power in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was sidelined, and they were unable to take care of these Wuhuan people's misdeeds, so they became more and more unscrupulous.
Of course, not all Wuhuan people are like robbers, and a considerable number of Wuhuan people who moved inward also joined the imperial army, and Zhao Yi's army included Wuhuan people. However, the generals were afraid that the Wuhuan people would gather to make trouble, so they put the Wuhuan people in camps that were not used.
Compared with the Xianbei clan, Zhao Yi still likes to deal with the Wuhuan people first. Because the strength of Wuhuan at this time is much worse than Xianbei.
It had been two hours since Zhao Yi's troops arrived at the village where the accident occurred, and there was silence in the Wuhuan cavalry, and everyone only saw bursts of green smoke coming from the unburned beams.
The corpses of the people were spread on the ground, staring at the corpses in this place, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed, and he only said two words: "Get on the horse!" ”
This place is close to Shanggu County, and the village that used to be peaceful and peaceful has now become a sea of fire, with 3,000 soldiers scattered throughout the village.
The leader munched on the drumsticks, saying that the village was rich and connived at the looting of his soldiers. "Our army went deep alone, and I didn't expect such a gain. That's nearly three times more than what we have intercepted in Daishire. ”
"Leader, the county guard of Zhuojun is Zhao Yi who defeated the Yellow Turban Army, we must be careful. Now that you have received your possessions, you should quickly retreat. The leader of his men reminded the leader.
"Zhao Yi? Hmph, just a yellow turban thief, how can it be compared to our cavalry sabers. The leader said haughtily. He has not fought with the official army once or twice, and each time he has won a big victory. With 3,000 soldiers, he marched through two counties. When entering Zhuo County, he also encountered the resistance of the official army, but the official army of the two sides was crushed at the first touch.
The Central Plains people like to exaggerate when they speak, Zhao Yi uses soldiers like gods, and his soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they have won many battles. The leader felt that the defenders of Zhuo County were no better than the official army of Dai County.
But how could this leader know that because Zhuo County is close to Shanggu County in the north, the Xianbei cavalry in the north has Shanggu County to block its edge. Zhuojun is very safe, so Zhao Yi did not put the elite soldiers here, so that this leader has a chance.
I saw a cloud of dust and smoke sweeping in the south, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves. The leader restrained his smile and lay on the ground and listened to the movement with his ears: "Order the troops to gather, a large group of cavalry is coming!" ”
The leader did not choose to escape, but integrated the soldiers and fought to the death with Zhao Yi's troops. It's not that this group of Wuhuan tribes doesn't want to escape, if they run away with their belongings and waste time, they will eventually be caught up by Zhao Yi, and their morale will be frustrated at that time, and they will definitely suffer heavy casualties. It's better to eat Zhao Yi's cavalry first and then return later.
Zhao Yi looked at the Wuhuan tribe on the opposite side, and stepped out of the horse: "The Holy Benevolence and Virtue give you and other habitats, not only do you not want to be grateful, but also invade the prefecture and county and persecute the people. You think that the world is so big that you can tolerate rebellious thieves! ”
Zhao Yi's words were not matched by the leader, so the leader did not argue with Zhao Yi, and raised the saber in his hand: "Zhao Yi'er, if you want me to bow down and admit my mistakes, unless you are better than the steel knife in my hand!" "The eyes are shuttling among Zhao Yi's cavalry, but there are only four thousand men and horses, how can they be the opponent of my three thousand iron cavalry. And with more spears in his hands, don't you know that the cavalry combat sabre is more lethal.
Even though the truth is on Zhao Yi's side, it is inevitable in the end that he has to speak with his fists.
The saber flying monster in the leader's hand screamed towards Zhao Yi and the others, and as the distance was pulled in, the archers on both sides took the lead in attacking, and the black arrow rain staggered with each other in the air, drawing a beautiful parabola, and fell to the opposing camp, and dozens of people on each side fell to the ground.
When he was eighty paces away, Zhao Yi could clearly see the hideous face of the other party, the archers had already put the bow and arrow behind him, and raised the steel knife in their hands, and the eyes full of fighting intent searched for the opponent in Zhao Yi's army. Zhao Yi flipped the spear in his hand and threw it towards the Wuhuan tribe.
When the soldiers saw Zhao Yi throwing out their spears, they imitated the movements in Zhao Yi's hands, and more than 4,000 spears galloped towards the Wuhuan people.
The distance between the two sides was too close, and the density of the spears was too great for the Wuhuan people to stop it. Screams emanated from the Wuhuan population, and many of the people were pierced into hedgehogs by spears.
The number of soldiers decreased but it did not affect the speed of the war horse, and at this time the two sides gathered fifty paces, and at this time, Zhao Yi threw his spear again, which caused many deaths and injuries to the Wuhuan people.
Before the Wuhuan people woke up from the fear of the rain of guns, Zhao Yi and the others pulled out their steel knives and rushed to kill. Many Wuhuan people were unable to react in panic and were cut off by the officials and soldiers.
The leader was quite brave, his left shoulder was pierced by a spear, and the blood was constantly flowing down the blood hole, but the saber in his hand was still not put down, and he slashed left and right, wounding more than a dozen soldiers. The bravery can be seen.
Tai Shi Ci saw it clearly, the halberd cut the throats of several people, bent the bow and set up the arrow, only to hear a sharp sound of breaking the air, and the leader's neck had an extra feather arrow. The saber in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and the leader clung his neck and shook twice and fell under the horse.
Tai Shi Ci immediately stepped forward and cut off the leader's head: "The traitor is dead, you should put down your weapons immediately!" None of them will die! ”
The death of this leader did cause a shock to the hearts of the Wuhuan people, but there were still many people who fought with the officials and soldiers. Tai Shi Ci's halberd swept the five Wuhuan people off the horse: "Put down your weapons!" "Tai Shici's bravery frightened these Wuhuan people.
Under the leadership of a few people, this Wuhuan army, which had less than a thousand people left, put down the weapons in their hands and stood aside in an orderly manner.
In this battle, Zhao Yi annihilated more than 2,000 Wuhuan tribesmen, and he also injured nearly 600 soldiers. Zhao Yi's grim gaze crossed the faces of these Wuhuan people.
Tai Shi Ci motioned to his soldiers to pick up their spears and surround these Wuhuan people. Asked Zhao Yi: "My lord, what should I do with these people?" ”
Is it killing? Is it to stay?
