Chapter 14: The Iron Eagle Rider

In the end, Beigong Boyu still escaped, but only took less than 8,000 soldiers with him, and the rest were either killed or surrounded by the Han army.

And the battle on Qin Hua's side is about to end.

Beigong Che began to lose his physical strength after fighting Qin Hua for hundreds of rounds, and there were multiple wounds on his body.

Fortunately, Qin Hua didn't fight seriously, but just regarded this battle as an aftershow, and Qin Hua cherished his talents, so he didn't kill Beigong Che.

"Bang Dang~"

Finally, under Qin Hua's striking, the battle axe in Beigong Che's left hand was knocked to the ground.

Just when Beigong Che was distracted, a meteorite swept over, and Beigong Che was shot down from his war horse.

Although Beigong Che still wanted to continue fighting, when he stood up, the tip of Qin Hua's spear had already appeared at his throat.

Beigong Che knew that he was not this person's opponent at all, and he directly threw away the tomahawk in his right hand to admit defeat.

The soldiers behind Qin Hua immediately stepped forward and tied Beigong Che tightly.

At this time, the battlefield was also coming to an end, Ma Teng had to stay in Hanyang and Jincheng counties, and it was Han Sui who was the deputy general of Qin Hua this time.

Under the command of Han Sui, the Qin Hua army had completed the encirclement of the Beigong army, and victory was coming.

As for the Qiang people who fled, Qin Hua didn't care, because he had already left his back hand.

Beigong Yubo had just broken out of the encirclement, and he thought that he would be able to at least keep the 8,000 soldiers under him, but he didn't expect Qin Hua's pursuers to start dispatching after they escaped from the encirclement.

It was a cavalry force of 5,000 men, different from the trap camp equipped with heavy armor, and those ordinary infantry soldiers, the armor of this cavalry was all black, and if you looked closely, you would find that their bodies were not iron armor at all, but black leather armor, and then a layer of chain armor was put on the outside.

This is another elite team that Qin Hua has specially trained in addition to trapping the camp in the past year: the Iron Eagle Cavalry.

The Iron Eagle Cavalry is a lightly armed cavalry, in addition to being skilled in arching horses, it is also very good at hand-to-hand combat.

If you talk about the single combat power, the Iron Eagle Cavalry is not under the trapping camp, but because the trapping camp needs to be equipped with heavy armor and has relatively high physical requirements, these people have not been selected.

Of course, if it is a frontal legion battle, the Iron Eagle cavalry will not be able to defeat the same number of trap camps, because the trap camp is heavy infantry robbery, which itself has restraint on the cavalry, plus the Iron Eagle cavalry is still a light cavalry.

Although the Iron Eagle Cavalry is not good at frontal combat, it is suitable for harassing the enemy and chasing the fleeing enemy because of their strong mobility and skillful archery.

Just like now, the Qiang troops who can't form a formation to counterattack can only be slaughtered in the face of the pursuit of the Iron Eagle Cavalry, and the speed is not as fast as them, and they can't escape if they want to.

"Almost, let's go shout."

Qin Hua saw that the situation on the battlefield was basically under control, so he said to Zhang Liao on the side.

"Yes."

Zhang Liao took the order and left, and after a while, the battlefield sounded the shout of "those who surrender will not be killed".

Qin Hua didn't want to exterminate the Qiang people, and he couldn't do it with his strength.

If he is now sitting in the position of Emperor Ling of Han, then he can still consider it, but he is only a county guard now, although the Qiang tribe is scattered, but if it is integrated, it can easily destroy all the foundations of Qin Hua.

Qin Hua's purpose was to subdue the Qiang tribe and use the Qiang territory as his own source of troops and grain production base.

War is only the first step, and for such nomads, it is impossible to achieve results if it is just diplomacy, and it is only after showing strong force that they can sit down and talk about it.

This is Jia Xu's policy for Qin Hua to deal with the Qiang people, if he wants not to be noticed by the Central Plains heroes, then his power can only be expanded outside the Han Dynasty.

In the evening, the battle finally came to an end.

Beigong Boyu's nearly 50,000 army was finally defeated by Qin Hua's 30,000 army, except for Beigong Boyu who led dozens of horsemen to escape, the rest were either killed or captured.

After the war, Qin Hua counted the report of this battle, and the results made him very satisfied.

Of the more than 30,000 Qin Hua troops, 3,000 were killed in this battle, more than 1,000 were seriously wounded (lost their ability to fight), and countless were lightly wounded. Among them, more than 300 people were killed in the camp (most of them died in the surprise attack of Beigong Che Wolf Cavalry), and less than 100 Iron Eagle Cavalry were killed in battle.

Beigong Boyu's army killed nearly 30,000 people in battle and captured nearly 20,000 people.

Because of the Qiang people's habit of fighting, Qin Hua did not get much material in this battle.

However, after this, there were several Qiang tribes that had lost their combat power, so Qin Hua didn't care that there was too little gain in this battle.

As soon as the captives were gathered, Qin Hua ordered Zhang Liao, Han Sui, and Ma Wan to each bring an army to those tribes. He left only 15,000 men to escort the prisoners.

But Qin Hua also ordered that the soldiers should not burn and plunder, because these things belonged to Qin Hua (including the population).

It's just that because of the number of soldiers, Zhang Liao and the others can no longer act after only taking one tribe. For there were not so many soldiers to escort the prisoners and booty.

By the time Qin Hua came to a tribe called Qingyang, Zhang Liao and the others had been waiting for a long time.

In addition to the soldiers who went out on the expedition, this tribe also has nearly 50,000 old and weak women and children, and with the strength of more than 10,000 people of Zhang Liao and others, it is really impossible to guard it, not to mention tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

Seeing this, Qin Hua could only temporarily camp in the Qingyang tribe.

Now Qin Hua is very distressed, there are countless loot in front of him, but he doesn't have enough manpower to carry it, is there anything more distressing than this?

Originally, with the courage of the Qiang people, Qin Hua did not think that the war would end like this, his initial goal was to leave after getting the benefits like attacking the Black Sheep tribe before, and then attack the Qiang people many times before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and completely subdued them, but he did not expect to achieve a great victory in the first battle.

"Therefore, generals still have to read more military books, especially this kind of large-scale legion warfare, no matter how strong the individual combat strength of the Qiang people is, in the face of strong legion cooperation, it can only end in failure."

Qin Hua couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he didn't expect that sometimes the distress caused by a big victory would be no less than that of a big defeat.

However, just when the entire Qin Huajun was happily celebrating the victory, some unhappy things also happened.

There were also some Qiang soldiers in the Qin Hua army, and some of them had enmity with the Qingyang tribe, so after this great victory, they directly found the enemy's house and killed them all, and their army killed fifteen people.

There is also a soldier who covets the beauty of the Qingyang tribe woman, and there was an incident of raping ** girl.

For these two points, Qin Hua cannot be forgiven.

is the so-called repetition in troubled times, now that the Qin Huajun has just started, if the military discipline cannot be strictly rectified, then it will be difficult to bring the team in the future.

Therefore, Qin Hua ignored the pleas of Zhang Liao and others, and directly ordered all the soldiers who committed the crime to be killed.

Although all the generals thought that Qin Hua's order was a bit unkind, Jia Xu on the side touched his goatee and nodded with a smile, he agreed with Qin Hua's approach very much, thinking that Qin Hua was a decisive person.

However, Qin Hua did not completely relentlessly, and the families of these beheaded soldiers can still enjoy their posthumous pensions, and these soldiers are also considered to have died on the battlefield.
