Chapter 783, the two armies are fighting, and casualties are inevitable
At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, not long after Wang Mang gave the order for a general attack, many soldiers appeared in the directions of Kunlun Mountain, which was surrounded by his troops.
These soldiers behaved very panickedly one by one, like stragglers, and did not have much combat power. And their respective commanders also looked very embarrassed, their command ability was not good, and they were greedy for life and afraid of death.
Now, as soon as they saw Wang Mang's army, they either quickly knelt down and surrendered, or turned around and ran, trying to find another way out of this place, and only a very small number of soldiers fought fiercely with Wang Mang's army.
These people are all soldiers and horses who came to King Qin to help the Ji family, but they escaped at a critical moment, they are all useless, and they dare not fight against Wang Mang with the Ji family, and they all want to leave here quickly.
When Wang Mang's army saw these horses, they immediately killed those who refused to surrender.
Wang Mang had already sent a decree to give these people a chance to live, so that they could surrender and lead the army to leave this place. But they didn't agree at that time, and they were quite tough.
Now that the war is going on, even if Wang Mang is willing to give them another way to live, he can't do it. Because the soldiers under his command will not show mercy in time because of his words.
To be merciful to the enemy on the battlefield means to waste one's life, which is not worth it.
Under the transmission of Wang Mang's will, millions of arrow feathers flew through the air together, densely packed, covering the entire Kunlun Mountains.
Countless enemy soldiers died in Huangquan under the arrows and feathers in turn, and their bodies were pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, and their deaths were extremely tragic, and the roar shook the mountains and rivers, and the blood waves rushed to the sky.
Wang Mang's army is large in number and well-equipped, these horses may not have an absolute overwhelming advantage over the elite of the Ji family who are strong in martial arts, but for those ordinary princes and soldiers who have no combat power, they are like heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, and they are invincible.
Human life is cheaper than grass, life is thinner than paper, and a massacre without suspense was staged at the headquarters of the Ji family in Kunlun Mountain.
Wang Mang's army hunted the enemy soldiers like wolves and tigers, and the whole person was bathed in blood.
Within a few hours, the originally verdant Kunlun Mountain was dyed blood-red, and countless corpses fell in a pool of blood, dead without blinking their eyes.
"I thought that these people who came to help the Ji family in their rebellion against my rule had some ability and backbone to stop the advance of my army, but who would have thought that they would be so vulnerable.
It is no wonder that the Eight-Nation Alliance was only a few thousand men and horses back then, but it was able to defeat hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qing Dynasty with such a strong force. It seems that the soldiers do not have a high will to fight, no indomitable momentum, and no courage to see death as home, no matter how many people there are, it is in vain. Wang Mang sighed.
"Your Majesty needs not be sad." The prisoner cow said coldly: "These people are originally grass on the wall, and they will only bully the weak and disregard people's lives, which is of little use." Kill more now, so that the governance of the future dynasty will be better.
If these people still hold on to the rich and above the people, then it will always be difficult for the people to achieve peace. The country needs fresh blood to be integrated to have vitality, the old forces do not fall, and the mess will always be a mess.
Only by destroying these people can other talented wise men have a chance to ascend to the throne. As soon as those people ascended to power, Kyushu had a chance to prosper. This was the case for my Huns at the beginning, but since I became the big single in the upper position, I have been a killer, purging the old forces, and replacing fresh blood, so that my Huns have gradually grown stronger. ”
"Why don't I know that?" Wang Mang said: "Most of the ordinary soldiers are innocent people, and they are just implicated by useless commanders. The purge of the old forces does not mean purging the soldiers, but purging the leaders.
Of course, if the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, those leaders are not good, and these soldiers will definitely be affected by it, and they will become more or less cunning and changeable, and become harmful to the people. But in general, there are many of these soldiers who are honest and kind. However, we cannot distinguish such people when the two armies are fighting, and we can only decide their life and death by whether they surrender or not. ”
"Your Majesty has a great benevolent heart, which is indeed a blessing for all people, but Your Majesty should have also heard the saying that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. There are no unjust dead spirits on the battlefield, and there is no distinction between justice and evil, there are only victory and defeat. As for the specific merits and demerits, there are descendants to evaluate. ”
Wang Mang smiled and said, "Okay, don't say these words, the province makes people unhappy." You have a deep grudge against the Ji family, and the main purpose of your coming here this time is also to take revenge, and several of your brothers also died here. Therefore, you can arrange to kill the people of the Ji family.
However, there is one thing I want to explain in advance, there are no innocent people among the soldiers of the two armies, but the unarmed Ji family members are not among them, so you can shoot at the soldiers of the Ji family, but you are absolutely not allowed to attack the ordinary people of the Ji family. I don't want to see those old and weak women die at your hands. ”
"It's Your Majesty, the ministers will never dare to mess around, and they will not dare to kill the ordinary people of the Ji family, but will only do it to the people of the Ji family who are strong in martial arts." The prisoner cow answered.
"It's so good, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, remember not to involve others who have no causal relationship, and you are not allowed to be angry with the ordinary people of the enemy's family, this is the most basic bottom line of being a human being. There is only one reason why we are above all things, and that is that we have a bottom line, a sense of proportion, and a sense of reason. Once man loses these, what is the difference between him and the beast? ”
The prisoner Niu kept Wang Mang's words in mind, and then led tens of thousands of horses straight to the depths of Kunlun Mountain to fight the Ji family's soldiers and horses.
He had already sworn that he would use Wang Mang's hand to seek revenge on the Ji family and wash away the shame for Yuezhi, and Da Shan Yu also had this wish.
Now the prisoner Niu sees that the opportunity for revenge has finally come, so his whole person is also full of killing intent, and his battle spirit is high.
Wang Mang knew his situation well, so he repeatedly instructed him to restrain his actions, lest he lose his mind out of hatred and do despicable things to kill the ordinary people of the Ji family.
Although the Ji family is the world's first martial arts family that has been inherited for thousands of years, there are always some people in the clan who don't know martial arts, especially those women, girls, children and the elderly. These people basically have no cause and effect in the Ji family, and they don't participate in the major affairs of the Ji family, they just recuperate and live in peace, without any cause and effect, and they really shouldn't be implicated.
Wang Mang has always paid attention to cause and effect, never implicated resentment on others, and severely opposed the Zhulian system, which is one of his bottom lines.
On top of the battle array, the two armies naturally suffered casualties in battle.
This decisive battle between Wang Mang and the Ji family touched the hearts of people all over the world, and even the people of Tianyang Mountain showed their attention.
However, what people in the world did not expect was that they always thought that this battle would be extremely tragic, a dragon and a tiger battle, and it would go on for a long time. Because the strength of the Ji family is there, there are many people from all sides who come to help the Ji family.
But when it came to the real war, it was not like this at all, because the soldiers and horses who came to help the Ji family were really useless, and they couldn't help the Ji family at all.
Wang Mang led a million troops to attack, the momentum was shocking, the momentum was like a bamboo, the Ji family was difficult to match, and the Ji family was at a disadvantage from the beginning of the battle, and there was no hope of turning the tables.
This battle was fought from day to night, and then from night to day, and the final result was basically that Wang Mang's army was crushing the opponent with absolute strength.
Most of the soldiers who died in the battle were soldiers and horses who came to help the Ji family, and as for the soldiers and horses of the Ji family's headquarters, they have not lost too much at present, because they are all elites, strong in martial arts, and good at jungle warfare, and they are not so easy to be wiped out.
