Chapter 402: Twenty Years of Tranquility
The battle of Bailang Mountain can be said to have been fought very fiercely, whether it was Karasuma's side or Qin's side, the casualties were very heavy.
On the side of the Qin State, the trapped camp took the lead in the charge, and behind the trapped camp was the Tiger Soldier under the car, as well as the Shenji Battalion, which were all ace special forces, plus the ordinary soldiers of the Qin State were like rainbows, and launched an attack together, but after five days, they still lost more than 30,000 people.
This data is indeed a bit disastrous, anyway, since the founding of the Qin State, there has never been so many deaths in any one battle.
However, the casualty ratio is also huge, after all, the Qin side has always had the advantage, there is such a long time of elite soldiers, there is no reason why it can't win, so after five days of fighting, Zhao Guo and Karasuma roughly calculated, and the number of losses was as high as 100,000.
Many of the soldiers of Zhao and Karasuma were stupid when they looked at the corpses scattered all over the mountains, so they could only drop their weapons and flee.
As for the commanders of their two units, they were also completely dumbfounded when they saw this. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang only realized at this moment that the two of them had made a very serious mistake, that is, they underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qin army too much, and overestimated the combat effectiveness of Karasuma too much.
In fact, then again, the combat effectiveness of Karasuma's troops is actually not bad, but Karasuma is mainly cavalry, and he has mastered the superb skill of mounted archery, so when fighting encounters in the field, it should be a first-class good hand.
These Karasuma cavalry, go down to fight the main force of the Qin army, maybe the Karasuma cavalry just can't win the camp, as for the other troops of the Qin army, they are not the opponent of the Karasuma cavalry at all.
But now there are some entanglements in the fight, Karasuma has all changed from cavalry to infantry, stationed in the mountains, thinking that with the danger of the mountains and heights, he can consume the Qin army, but he never expected that the Qin army also made a bloody attack and finally slaughtered all the people on the mountain.
At this moment, looking at his subordinates, they had already turned into birds and beasts, scattered and fled, and the others finally felt what it meant to be defeated.
Even in a trance, Bunton had an illusion that the Karasuma Erlang he brought out this time was hit by an unprecedented blow since he appointed King Zuoxian, and after going back this time, even if his prestige is very high, it is difficult to explain it to everyone, after all, so many Karasuma disciples have died.
However, just when he was in a trance, Yuan Xi hurriedly came up and pushed Badun.
"King Zuoxian, I don't think we're going to be stunned here, let's run away quickly, go back to your Karasuma royal city first, and then we'll find a way to make a comeback!"
Hearing Yuan Xi say this, Bun Dun also thought about it, yes, no matter what, he is also King Zuo Xian now, and he will find a way after he goes back, this is also a way, so he immediately asked Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi to open the way, the secret passage they had dug a long time ago.
The three of them, escorted by their own soldiers, came to the secret passage with no hands and feet.
First of all, Yuan Shang stepped forward and shouted loudly to the soldiers guarding the secret passage: "Hurry up and open the secret passage for me, I want to go in!" ”
However, the seven or eight soldiers guarding the door, looking at Yuan Shang looking so eager to survive, actually showed a disdainful smile on their faces, and they stood still and did not move.
When Yuan Shang saw this scene, he was surprised, but then the anger in his heart came up, and he directly pointed at these seven or eight soldiers and scolded.
"I say, you untouchables, are you blind or deaf? I'm the third prince of Zhao Kingdom, now let you open the secret passage immediately, I want to go in! ”
However, the soldiers guarding the door still didn't move, Yuan Xi saw this, completely angry, and wanted to hit people, but he was pulled by Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi saw that something was wrong from the demeanor of these soldiers, he stopped Yuan Shang's actions, and then looked at these soldiers, with a warm smile on his face.
"Hehe, brothers have worked hard, I am the second prince Yuan Xi is also, I know that everyone has been very tired in these days, you are all the heroes of my Zhao country, hard work is high, you can put forward any requirements now, and I will reward you after I return to the country!"
"Hehe, okay, we don't want anything, we just want the head of you, the second prince, whether you give it or not!" A soldier walked up slowly, revealing his rather playful gaze.
Seeing that Yuan Xi still wanted to say something, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he went up and kicked Yuan Xi directly, so that he didn't have to say more, because the enemy army had already hit him.
Looking at this Badun, he was quite knowledgeable, and the soldier who led him also took off Zhao Guo's military hat, revealing his original appearance, and the other soldiers also took Zhao Guo's armor one after another, revealing a flying fish suit, which was the brocade guard of Qin State.
And Che Wu took a step forward, looked at the group of people, and then said calmly: "King Zuoxian, there are two princes, but I have been lurking here for a long time before I discovered your secret passage, I have to say, you are well hidden, but please stop here!" ”
Hearing what Che Wu said, Zuo Xian Wang Bang Dun seemed to be a little unwilling, he pulled out the sword at his waist, shouted, wanted to command the personal soldiers around him, and rushed directly from here, but at this moment, he suddenly found that there were many brocade guards around, all of them ran towards this side quickly, seeing this, not to mention Zuo Xian Wang, even the two princes of the Yuan family were completely collapsed.
Three hours later, Cao Xuan took a group of generals and walked up to Bailang Mountain, looking at the three people kneeling in front of him, Cao Xuan smiled.
Yuan Xi was kneeling on the ground at the moment, his expression seemed a little scared, his body was constantly trembling, but he always bit his lip tightly and didn't say anything, as for Yuan Shang was already kneeling on the ground, with a handful of snot and tears, he only had one request, that is, Cao Xing must not kill him, he is not a big deal for this King Zhao.
As for the performance of Saying Badun, he was a little unconvinced, he looked at Cao Xing, and said in a broken Central Plains dialect.
"Cao Xing, you are also ruthless enough, but as you Han people say, kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, you estimate that you have lost a lot of elite soldiers this time, you may need three years or more to make up for your losses when you go back!"
Seeing Cao Xuan here, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, Bun Dun is a military general, he won't be as columsy as Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and it is reasonable, but Cao Sex obviously heard the unconvinced tone from Bun Dun's words, Cao Sex also slowly squatted down, and then looked at Bun Dun and waved his hand and said.
"No, the manpower and material resources of my Qin State are beyond what you can imagine, I have lost nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses this time, although it is a pity, but these 40,000 horses and horses are all heroes of my Qin State, I will give each of their relatives a generous pension after I go back, and build a cemetery for them!"
"Secondly, I don't need three or five years to recover, I only need three or five months to recover, because my Qin country has a population of one million, of course, the biggest gain of this war is not to win three or five years, but to win thirty or fifty years, this time I captured the Karasuma prisoners, either all brought back to the Qin State and sent to build a palace, or they were killed in the same place, telling you that you have lost nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, and it is estimated that it will take thirty or fifty years!"
"I used the lives of nearly 40,000 soldiers of the Qin State in exchange for thirty or fifty years of stability in the north, which is why I attacked, do you think I did the right thing!"
After Cao Xuan said this, Badun's face was very ugly, it was indeed as Cao Sex said, this battle was still dominated by the Qin State, but Badun was a military general, and before that, he was still the high-ranking Zuoxian King, how could he admit defeat like this, so in the end, he couldn't help but say a word.
"Don't be too happy, I'm not afraid to tell you, there are still half of the troops in my Karasuma's royal city, I have already written a few days ago to report the situation here, as long as they can hold back your camp, your other troops don't have to worry at all, my Karasuma army will soon sweep here, I advise you to accept it when you see it, and leave quickly!"
Badun used to be the high-ranking Zuo Xian King, but in an instant, he was about to become a prisoner of others, how could this psychological gap make him feel comfortable, so he was naturally unwilling to admit defeat.
Cao Xuan smiled when he saw this, and wanted to say something, but at this moment, Jia Xu actually galloped over from the horse, and when he arrived at Cao Xing, Jia Xu also hurriedly got off the horse, and then looked at Cao Xuan and showed a smile.
"King, it's done!" As Jia Xu said this, he took out a scroll of letters from his arms and handed it to Cao Xing.
To say that the letter should be regarded as a roll of kraft paper, and look at the specifications of this kraft paper is still a very expensive kind, when Cao Xuan read the above content, he laughed directly, and then patted the head of the head with his hand.
"You have good intentions, but I can tell you very clearly that your Karasuma tribe has completely abandoned you, and your troops will not come to save you again, you should be your subordinate prisoner with peace of mind!"
"No way, what nonsense are you talking about there? I know that you Central Plains people are cunning, don't try to deceive me in this way! As soon as he heard this, he exploded.
Cao Xing was not in a hurry, he slowly opened the kraft paper, and presented all the contents on it in front of Bun Dun, who looked at the words on it, and his heart trembled.
On this vellum paper, it is nothing more than the content of some covenants, and at the end it is the Xiongnu's Zuoxian Wang Xize. and Jia Xu, a diplomat of the Qin State.
In fact, through that state of affairs, Jia Xu had already figured out the mind of this right virtuous king.
Although Xi Ze said that he verbally rejected Qin's Zhao'an, saying that he would not betray Karasuma's interests, there is no doubt about this, but in the heart of the right sage Wang Xi Ze, there is still some unwillingness, his unwillingness comes from the fact that he is so good and knows how to govern the country, but why should he be under the king of Zuoxian.
Every time King Zuo Xian came back from the war, he still had to look at King Zuo Xian's face to live, which was very aggrieved in his heart, so he was already white at the moment.
Youxian Wang Xi, as the leader elected by their tribe, naturally it is impossible to betray the interests of the tribe, let alone defect to the Qin State because of this, but it is impossible for him to cut off the food of the soldiers in front.
So for the second time, Jia Xu was ready to go out in person, and when he found Xi, he explained his interests to him, and in the end, Jia Xu made a final decision and only said one word to Xize.
"There is no need to betray the interests of the tribe, I just want to tell you the news, if the front of the Badun is defeated, then from this moment on, you are already the leader of your tribe, no longer the Right Sage King, you will lead your tribe to a glorious peak!"
In fact, when Jia Xu said this, Xi Ze still had a lot of disbelief in his heart, thinking that Jia Xu was just talking about it there, how could their Karasuma army be so strong, how could they be easily defeated, so he also hoped in his heart that it was best to kill that guy on the battlefield, so that no one could stop him.
As a result, the news of Qin's strong attack came five days ago, and Youxian Wang Xi has been sending people to pay attention to the information here, so he also got the information for the first time.
When he learned that most of the Karasuma army he sent out had been lost, the heart of the right virtuous king Xize could be said to be very sad, because it was his Karasuma son.
But people can't be resurrected after death, Jia Xu persuaded Xi Ze not to be too sad, and to think about what to do next, and Xi Ze had already had an idea in his heart at that time. This defeat can be described as a great defeat, countless lives were lost on the battlefield, and after returning, we must take this opportunity to directly pull Badun off the horse.
Therefore, even if Badun was not caught by the Qin State this time, he would not be able to please the good fruit after he returned, because with the support of the Qin State, Youxian Wang Xi was already ready to drive him out of his position.
It's good now, Qin Guo has basically helped Xi Ze solve all the troubles, and Badun has been caught in his hands.
The creek also signed an alliance agreement, but this belonged to the alliance under the city, and the king of Youxian surrendered the city to the Qin state on behalf of their Karasuma tribe, and ceded all the strongholds around the Qin state, withdrew all the soldiers, and let the Qin state take over.
After all, their tribe has suffered such heavy losses, and there is absolutely no good fruit to eat when they go against the Qin State again, so Xi has to do this, and as for ruining his life or death, Xi doesn't want to care at all.
Looking at the words on it, he was completely crazy, and he scolded Youxian Wang Xi for being a villain. He actually gave up all the strongholds of the Qin State to the Qin State, so if the Qin State wanted to go north to fight Karasuma in the future, wouldn't it be an easy thing.
However, let this Badun scold, Cao Xuan didn't bother to say another word to him, he waved his hand directly, and immediately two Qin State sergeants came up and took this Badun away directly.
