Chapter 332: Huairou is no better than destruction
The nearly 20,000 Xiongnu army had already suffered three or four out of ten losses at this time, and the dominance of the entire battlefield was controlled by the hussar battalion. The battlefield was divided into four, and the six thousand heavy cavalry of the hussar battalion were also divided into four parts, because each battlefield had one or two thousand hussar battalion heavy cavalry charging forward to tear apart the Hun army formation, which opened up the situation for the two wings of the light cavalry to detour and expand the results of the battle, so the situation became simple when it came to the back.
The 18,000 cavalry of the hussar battalion rushed into the Hun cavalry formation, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
Although the heavy cavalry of the hussar battalion at this time could not be compared with the heavy cavalry that was later armed with iron armor to the teeth, its own combat power was still improved to a level that ordinary cavalry could not shake head-on. If it weren't for the arrogance of the wolf himself, who didn't take Ixher's warning to heart and insisted on charging head-on with the hussar battalion, he would not have been defeated in a battle. Even if the Dan Wolf decisively retreats when the two armies clash and find that the army is invincible and then plans for the future, instead of relying on his own heroism and invincibility to kill Qin Cheng, he will not end up in an unmanageable end.
The wolf who thought that he could win the war as long as he killed the main general of the hussar battalion was captured alive by Qin Cheng, and even his own army of 20,000 was buried with him.
When the outcome of the battle was known, there were still more than 10,000 Xiongnu troops, and Qin Cheng's sentence "Those who do not surrender will be slaughtered" did not intimidate too many grassland warriors, and the Dan wolf shouted desperately: "Kill Qin Cheng and avenge this king!" There were no warriors who surrendered to the Great Huns! ”
During this period, he even wiped Qin Qingzhi's blade with his neck, and the pride of the first warrior in the desert made him unable to accept the reality of being a prisoner, and now he had to face the glory of 20,000 troops, and the heart of the Dan Wolf's already ashamed heart was even more distorted for a while, and he could no longer survive in the world.
Fortunately, Qin Qingzhi is also a clever person, and he has learned a lot from Qin Cheng over the years, when he heard the Dan Wolf roar out the sentence "Avenge this king", he kept an eye on it, and when the Dan Wolf wiped his neck on his blade, he returned the knife and kicked his legs very quickly.
The Dan Wolf was kicked by Qin Qingzhi in the back bend of the knee, and fell to the ground again in embarrassment, fortunately, the Dan Wolf at this time had been tied up with a rope, otherwise he had a strong sense of self-esteem and experienced such "insults" again and again, it is difficult to say what impulsive things he would do.
When the wolf roared, Qin Cheng raised his hand and waved down decisively, his movements neat and fast, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up. With his order, most of the battlefield, which had been suspended for a moment, was broken by screams again, and the long knife Qin halberd in the hands of the hussar battalion soldiers ruthlessly swung towards the Hun soldiers on the opposite side!
And at this time, the Dan Wolf finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
Then no one noticed that the moment Qin Cheng heard the clamor of the Dan Wolf and waved his hand, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes. Liu Mu, who was following Qin Cheng, turned his head in surprise because of Qin Cheng's order, and could only distinguish Qin Cheng's slightly relaxed body.
Liu Mu frowned, he was a little puzzled, for the inexplicable joy and relaxation that Qin Cheng showed at this moment, Liu Mu seemed to understand it.
What was he nervous about, and what was he relaxing now?
No one could answer Liu Mu, and Liu Mu couldn't deal with it peacefully in a state of seeming and not knowing without entanglement, he hesitated for a while, the almost one-sided slaughter on the battlefield made Liu Mu's nerves tense and a little uncomfortable, and the blood and severed limbs brought out by countless long knives Qin Ji shrank in his eyes, making his mood extremely complicated.
Although he felt that he shouldn't ask, Liu Mu still made up his mind and whispered to Qin Cheng: "They are already about to surrender, why do they still kill?" ”
Qin Cheng glanced at Liu Mu unexpectedly, and asked with some incomprehension: "You really don't know?" ”
In his opinion, such an easy-to-understand question should obviously not make Liu Mu wonder.
"Please also ask the general to make it clear." Liu Mu thought about it, but said seriously.
"We've been fighting together on the battlefield for so long, when have you ever seen me take prisoners?" Qin Cheng's voice faded, but to Liu Mu's ears, he felt that Qin Cheng's voice at this time was like an abyss without bounds, so that he couldn't feel the other side, it was an uneasy feeling.
"This is the territory of the Great Han, we can deal with these captives! We don't have to run with them, they won't affect our next actions at all! Liu Mu was a little annoyed, Qin Cheng's salty and indifferent answer made him feel an inexplicable anger in his heart, the lives of more than 10,000 people were not an easy thing in his opinion, so his voice also increased a little.
It is understandable that Liu Mu does not leave prisoners on the grassland, because it is extremely dangerous for the army, but there are still no prisoners left in the territory of the Han Dynasty, which makes Liu Mu angry, because as long as these prisoners are escorted to the county behind, there will naturally be an army and a big prison waiting for them.
"General Liu!" Qin Cheng scolded, looking a little impatient, and there was anger in his words, Liu Mu has always been cited by him as a confidant, but at this time, Liu Mu's doubts and anger made Qin Cheng feel incomprehensible, people always ask more for the people they care about, and often the more they care about that request, the higher the requirements, "Ci is not in charge of the army!" How much more is it to be merciful to the enemy? I don't want to continue the discussion with you on this issue anymore because there is no need for that. This Hun sergeant must be killed! Stop being like a with my mother-in-law! ”
After that, Qin Cheng no longer paid attention to Liu Mu and began to put all his energy into observing the battlefield in front of him. On weekdays, Qin Cheng is not taboo to have equal relations with Liu Mu, and he doesn't care too much about respect and humility. But that doesn't mean he can tolerate Yanagi's repeated challenge to his authority and question his decisions. In all fairness, Qin Cheng is also proud, so when facing the Dan Wolf whose martial arts are higher than his own, he will also pounce without hesitation, proud people care more about dignity than ordinary people, and they are willing to pay more for dignity.
"What's wrong with the?!" As soon as Qin Cheng's words fell, Liu Mu roared, his blood-stained face turned strangely red, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes looking at Qin Cheng were less friendly and more inexplicably dissatisfied and resentful. After saying this, Liu Mu didn't feel anything wrong, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Qin Cheng, who ignored him.
The soldiers guarding Qin Cheng's side manipulated the war horse to retreat a few steps at this time, intentionally or unintentionally.
Suddenly, like a biting rabbit, the willow wood went berserk, so Qin Cheng had to turn his eyes back to him, looking at the willow wood with his fists clenched and his whole body trembling slightly, Qin Cheng seemed to see a hedgehog with burrs erecting all over his body, preparing to bite.
"Herald," Qin Cheng looked at Liu Mu expressionlessly, whenever his heart was unusually cold, his expression was expressionless, he opened his mouth calmly, but he was greeting the herald beside him, "Go, say it again, the Hun sergeants have surrenderers, lay down their weapons, and don't kill." ”
"No!"
After saying this, Qin Cheng no longer looked at Liu Mu, but he knew that Liu Mu's expression at this time must have eased a lot, and his eyes looked forward again, as if he didn't hear Liu Mu Fang shouting in annoyance, "What's wrong with the girl!" ”
Liu Mu's expression softened a little, and after his mood calmed down a bit, Liu Mu felt a little remorseful for the other party's subconscious low roar, not only because of the rules of his superiors and subordinates, but also the content of the sentence itself.
And when Liu Mu was entangled in his heart, Qin Cheng's voice sounded again, as if it had jumped out of a stone, and he didn't squint and said: "Let the rest of the people live, not because you questioned them. Just as I am not worried that more than 10,000 Hun soldiers will be taken prisoner completely, it is an inevitable choice in the face of the current situation. ”
Then, Qin Cheng lightly glanced at the willow wood with a complicated expression, and said lightly, "I don't know why you are so soft-hearted today, but I still want to warn you that as a general, you can't mix any emotional factors in your actions, and everything must be for the sake of the battle situation." Don't forget, you carry the lives of thousands of soldiers on your shoulders, and their life and death are all in your thoughts. If you can't do that, I wouldn't mind advising you to unload your armor and return to the field as soon as possible. ”
Unload your armor and return to the field. Qin Cheng said it very naturally, but for a general, these four words were extremely vicious.
Surprisingly, Liu Mu was not very angry after hearing Qin Cheng's words, although it was inevitable to get angry, but this was no longer so prominent compared to the confusion and thinking in Liu Mu's eyes.
Qin Cheng couldn't know what Liu Mu was thinking at this time, and Liu Mu didn't have the habit of telling his heart. Looking at Qin Cheng's cold side face, Liu Mu's eyes were in a trance, and a great question suddenly rose in his heart: What makes a person so cold when facing the enemy, so cold that it is so cruel?
Subsequently, this question mark in Liu Mu's heart was magnified several times, but it was not a question of fighting for the other party, and the current doubts in Liu Mu's heart were absolutely unexpected by Qin Cheng. Yanagi is asking himself: No matter how hard she works, no matter how hard she works, a woman is not suitable for the battlefield?
"General, in fact, ......" Liu Mu, who was confused, opened his mouth, and finally woke up when the words came to his mouth, closed his mouth in a daze, and looked at Qin Cheng in amazement, with an embarrassment that he didn't know what to do.
Hearing that Liu Mu's tone was different from before, Qin Cheng glanced at Liu Mu and found that there was no longer the previous doubt and anger in his eyes, but he looked a little cramped and uneasy, mistakenly thinking that Liu Mu felt remorse for his actions and was ready to apologize Qin Cheng, and said lightly: "You don't have to explain anything. ”
"......" Liu Mu blinked, and said in his heart Do you know what I want to explain, you let me not have to explain, I don't explain what you know?!
The remaining thousands of Hun soldiers on the battlefield all chose to surrender, and the surprise actions of the Hussar Battalion soldiers as Qin Cheng's gesture fell by surprise and suffered heavy losses, and almost half of the soldiers died inexplicably. When the wolf was captured, many people actually lost their fighting spirit, and nearly half of them were killed in a short period of time, so that their will to resist completely collapsed.
On the occasion of the big victory, Qin Cheng's mood was also better, the slight unhappiness in his heart gradually dissipated, and Liu Mu's "repentance and apology" made Qin Cheng's anger gradually disappear, after all, the cooperation with Liu Mu in the past few years can be called seamless, and occasional disagreements are inevitable, Qin Cheng, who figured this out, felt the need to say a few more words, so he said: "Thirteen or four thousand captives cannot be placed, and a little inappropriate will cause turmoil and be difficult to control." Slaughtering half of them not only slaughtered their people, but also their will to resist, and the remaining half of the people will be easily digested. ”
After a pause, Qin Cheng glanced at the willow wood meaningfully, his eyes drifted to the north, he sighed like a sigh of relief, and then said in a deep voice: "To completely cut off the threat of the Xiongnu and other steppe people to the Han Dynasty, the Huairou policy is not good, we must destroy their country first, and then absolutely control the grassland!" In order to absolutely control the steppe and the steppe people, it is necessary to completely wipe out their resistance during the war, and then think about how to completely assimilate them after the war.
So, now, the sergeants of the Huns, must be destroyed to the maximum! ”
