Chapter 146: Expelling the Xiongnu Tribe
Seeing the applause and welcome of his soldiers, Zhao Xie felt a lot of emotion in his heart, it turned out that his soldiers were unwilling to fight! I have long been willing to surrender, and I still want to reap the benefits, naΓ―ve!
The power of propaganda was enormous, and the "Focus" magazine and the "Imperial Daily" immediately publicized the principles and policies of the Qin Empire, and the Qin army's defeat of the Xiongnu iron cavalry in several battles made everyone in the world known.
In addition, Jinyiwei is as pervasive, wantonly publicizing and introducing the various policies of the Qin Empire to benefit the people, telling the people how the Qin Empire is benefiting the people and thinking about the people.
It's a lot of power!
Only the Qin army had propaganda tools, and the other princes wanted to refute it, but they couldn't, they didn't have propaganda tools in their hands. What's the use of sending a few people to defend themselves.
The Qin Empire's "Focus" and "Imperial Daily" were not fabricated, but were justified propaganda, coupled with the private conversations of businessmen, which suddenly made the voices that were still a little skeptical completely speechless.
In particular, the greatest wish of the people in the border areas is to beat the Huns fiercely, so that the Huns will not dare to invade the border areas again, and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment.
The soldiers under the princes basically came from a strong man, they were born poor, they had fields at home, and when they heard the propaganda of the Qin Empire, they had no idea in their hearts, which was a lie.
Zhao Xie ordered the city gate to be opened, he was really depressed, he originally wanted to resist for a few days, and then open the city gate and surrender, so that he would have face and win greater benefits.
The problem is that Ye Tong is a guy who does not play cards according to common sense, and directly threatens that if he does not open the city gate to surrender, he will no longer accept surrender. In that case, don't say that the soldiers are unwilling, and Zhao Xie himself will not dare to take risks!
Doesn't Zhao Xie know that all the princes who opened the city gate and surrendered were not held accountable by the Qin Empire, and they were all placed in what advisory committee as members, and they also received high salaries, had a house for the elderly, and were really well treated.
Zhao Xie only thought that it was an honor to resist for a few days, and when he arrived in Xianyang City, he had arrogant capital for other princes. Look, this king has resisted the Qin army for a few days, what about you? Directly frightened, open the city gate and surrender.
Actually, it's the pride that is at fault. Ye Tong doesn't care if you resist for a few days, or directly open the city gate and surrender, Ye Tong's purpose is not to let the people of Yanhuang suffer big losses.
Zhao Xie really dared to resist, Ye Tong definitely wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkey, let the other princes take a look, dare not obey the order, obediently open the city gate and surrender, the end was very miserable. Also to deter the princes.
Squeak squeak!
The heavy gate opened, and with a wave of Mu Guiyingyu's hand, the soldiers of the Qin army immediately entered the city, took over the city defense, and took over the surrendered soldiers.
Zhao Xie walked out of the city, and when he saw Ye Tong, he was about to kneel, Ye Tong knew that he was acting, but he had no choice, so he still stretched out his hand to help Zhao Xie up and prevent him from kneeling.
Ye Tong snorted coldly and said, "Lord Zhao, count yourself as knowledgeable, otherwise you will become a stepping stone to deter other princes." β
After listening to it, cold sweat broke out all over my body, obediently! Fortunately, there was no resistance, and if you really resisted, it would be a big trouble. Listening to Shi Tong's meaning, he lacked the corpse of a prince to shock the world, and he almost became that corpse.
"General, please forgive the grass people for being confused for a while."
"Okay, it's good to surrender, go to Xianyang City to eat and drink well, what's wrong, don't do, you can get a high salary, this kind of thing only General Ben will do, and others will definitely not. The cabinet of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China spoke out against it, saying that you are a rebel and you want to punish the three tribes, and the general will do his best to stop it, and behave well in the future and stop messing around. β
"Yes! The sinners must obey the orders of the great general. β
"Okay, assist the Qin army to take over the regional power, and then take your family to Xianyang City, find Xiao He, and let Xiao He arrange your residence and other matters, this general has always been true to his word, and he will not lose his trust in you."
"Thank you, General, General Xie forgives the grass people for their felonies."
With Zhao Xie's cooperation, the local takeover was very smooth, and the establishment of township and village government agencies was also carried out at the first time. Ye Tong ordered the grain depot to be opened and the warehouse to help the people, so that the people could tide over the difficulties. No way! The princes don't care whether the people live or die, Ye Tong has to take care of it.
Ye Tong discussed with Mu Guiying, and felt that he should take this opportunity to go out of the valley to sweep the surrounding areas, and completely drive the Xiongnu tribes to the north, so that in a short period of time, there will be a stable situation in the border areas.
Just do it, Ye Tong left 30,000 infantry, and Mu Guiying led 20,000 cavalry to kill the Xiongnu tribes around the upper valley.
Ye Tong went with the army and did not interfere in commanding the combat affairs. In fact, Ye Tong just asked Mu Guiying to brush up on experience points and let her be promoted to the corps commander as soon as possible, so that Ye Tong would have three corps commanders under him, which was enough to bear the consequences of accidents.
20,000 people rode out of the upper valley and the Great Wall, and entered the prairie, Ye Tong sent a large number of Jinyi guards and scouts a few days in advance to reconnoiter the surrounding areas of the Great Wall.
Ye Tong handed over the information to Mu Guiying and asked her to make a decision. Ye Tong is a small soldier beside her, responsible for charging into battle, and the command is arranged by her.
Once the generalissimo of the Northern Song Dynasty was not covered, as soon as he took over the command, Mu Guiying seemed to have changed as a person, and kept issuing various orders.
With scout reconnaissance, 50 kilometers ahead, there is a medium-sized tribe, there are about 50,000 Huns, and about 20,000 Huns who can fight on horseback.
Based on this situation, Mu Guiying decided to launch a surprise attack quietly at night. After the black, she sent a number of assault horses to clear the secret and open posts of the Xiongnu tribe.
On the third watch, 20,000 people suddenly set out, the horse's hooves were wrapped in strips of cloth, and the horse's mouth was basketed, and everything was carried out quietly. Then slowly move towards the goal.
When she was only two thousand meters away from the Hun tribe, Mu Guiyingyu waved her hand and asked Ye Tong to lead 10,000 cavalry, and she herself led 10,000 cavalry to attack the Xiongnu tribe from two directions.
Thundered!
The earth shakes!
The Huns, who had lived in the steppe for a long time, woke up from fright, and immediately understood in their hearts that there was an attack by iron cavalry. The Huns did not hesitate, immediately got up and dressed themselves, looked for weapons, led war horses, and prepared to meet the enemy.
The problem is that the time is too short, a distance of two thousand meters, for a galloping war horse, it is only less than two minutes. As soon as the Huns walked out of the tent, they encountered the menacing Qin army.
The Qin soldiers waved their sabers lightly in their hands to solve the problem. Many Huns were hacked and killed in their dreams. This is a life-and-death battle between nations, there is no cruelty, let alone benevolence and righteousness, everything is for the sake of killing each other, everything is for the country, for the people.
Ye Tong's tiger teeth in his hands also continued to hunt the Huns, and he experienced many bloody battles, which made Ye Tong's heart colder and colder, and there was no mercy when he first arrived.
It's not that Ye Tong is changing, it's the times that force Ye Tong to adapt to society, otherwise he will be eliminated. Manpower cannot be changed, only adapted.
In 20 minutes, a medium-sized Xiongnu tribe completely disappeared into the long river of history, killing nearly 20,000 Huns, capturing less than 30,000 prisoners, seizing hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.
The seized materials were easy to handle, but Ye Tong threw them directly into the ring, but the captured cattle, sheep, and Huns were difficult to handle. There was no way, so he could only send 2,000 cavalry to escort him to the upper valley. The captured cattle and sheep and the Huns could not be killed, and it was easy to kill them, but the problem was to buy and sell at a loss.
According to this situation, the Xiongnu tribes that Mu Guiying attacked next only chose medium and large tribes to attack, and there were not many people in small tribes, so it was not cost-effective to fight once.
What's more, the Qin army entered the grassland to hunt the Xiongnu tribe, or the god of death came in person, this deterrent was too powerful. Ye Tong has become an invincible god of death in the hearts of the Huns.
Mao Dun did not dare to fight, and attacked the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper was fine, but Mao Dun was seriously injured, and those things have spread throughout the prairie. In addition, he won more with less several times and annihilated nearly a million Hun iron horsemen, which made Ye Tong's name change his face on the grassland.
Mu Guiying commanded 20,000 cavalry and raided two medium-sized Xiongnu tribes in a row, and suddenly in the surrounding area of Shanggu, the Huns were afraid, and rumors spread that death was coming.
All right! Large, medium, and small tribes of the Huns packed up their belongings and fled deeper into the north. If you don't escape, you can't escape! The Grim Reaper is a fierce and vicious person, who has never shown mercy to the Huns, and is extremely ruthless.
In this way, it caused great trouble to Mu Guiying, the Hun tribe was floating, and they were still here just now, and when the raid arrived, they found that they had fled.
Mu Guiying immediately adjusted the battle plan, according to the situation report of the scouts and Jinyi guards, no longer delayed, no longer engaged in any night raids, as soon as there was news, after calculating the distance, he immediately led 20,000 raids to attack.
The panicked and busy fleeing Xiongnu tribes, where they had the courage to resist the Qin army's assault, in the face of the Qin army's incomparably powerful offensive ability, many tribes saw the Qin army killing, not to organize a counterattack, but to take the tribesmen's desperate escape.
Cattle, sheep, horses and other property, the Huns can't take care of it, don't dare to take care of it anymore, once delayed, people are dead, what's the use of those things.
For more than 20 days, Mu Guiying led 20,000 cavalry to chase and kill the fleeing Huns, not many people were really killed, less than 100,000 Huns were captured, and more were seized materials, mainly cattle, sheep, and horses.
Mu Guiying preliminarily estimated that in more than 20 days, there were only more than 100,000 Huns killed, and the record was not good. However, more than 30,000 cattle, nearly 3 million sheep, and nearly 300,000 horses were seized.
300,000 horses, many of which are actually foals, and some old horses. The old horse is useless, so it can only be slaughtered and eaten as meat, and the foal has to be raised.
The problem was that the horses in this place were too small to be used for cavalry sprints, and could only be used as cattle for the people. In addition, when the cavalry is running for a long distance, it can be used as a spare horse.
Twenty days later, seeing that there was no longer a way to pursue and kill, Mu Guiying asked: "General, you should retreat, there is no point in chasing and killing again, not to mention, we have too many seized materials in our hands now, and we can't continue." β
Ye Tong knew that although the horses escorting the cattle and sheep kept repeatedly escorting back and forth, there were still a large number of seized cattle, sheep and horses, which had to be escorted back to Shanggu.
Hehe!
"Then flash people!"
