Maybe it's because of the brutal methods of the regular army of Jiaozhi against deserters, so that these unlucky guys understand that if they go up, they will die, and if they flee back, they will also die. x

After four rounds of arrows, they finally came to the front of the shield led by Spartacus, and the grenadiers, who had been waiting for a long time, began to wield their might.

The killing range of the earthen grenade was about 10 to 15 meters, so when the Jiaozhi soldiers rushed to 30 meters in front of the formation, the overwhelming wooden-handled grenades flew from behind the shield array.

The continuous sound of explosions, this kind of sound that can only be heard in the New Year, made Li Nan, who was standing in the back and watching the battle, a little trance-like, and he missed the days when he lived in the afterlife.

The grenade fell on the heads of those who coaxed their fingers, on the bamboo rows, and more at their feet.

The overly dense formation of the Cochin soldiers makes the grenades that are not very powerful extremely lethal.

Hundreds of iron shells, which could only be broken in half, were blown apart by the force formed by the burning of gunpowder, and because the power of the explosion was not great, most of these Cochin soldiers were injured in the legs and lower abdomen, and after the smoke cleared, the ground was full of mournful and wailing Cochin people.

The sudden explosion and the large number of wounded soldiers in front of them caused the Cochin soldiers behind them to collapse again, and the instinct for survival prompted them to flee backwards immediately.

At this point in the battle, Li Nan sighed and said to the others: "Keep the formation and attack, don't waste time with these wastes." ”

The combat effectiveness of the Jiaozhi army was so amazing that even Lin Chong, who had always been cautious, nodded and approved of this order.

The herald waved the flag in his hand, and the whole army maintained its current formation and began to approach the Cochin army.

This one-sided slaughter-style battle made Li Nan quite boring to watch, and he didn't have the feeling of fierce battle he saw in film and television dramas at all.

Long-range archers shooting, close-range grenade throws, and cochin soldiers stabbing to death with short swords by slave soldiers behind the shield, everything is going according to plan.

When more than half of the 30,000 Jiaozhi troops died, the gate of Yuanping City in the rear was wide open, and the Jiaozhi nobles living in the city followed the governor Li Hui and fled in a hurry under the protection of the 3,000 regular army.

Looking at the Jiaozhi people who fled backwards all over the mountains, Lin Chong asked, "Do you send troops to pursue?" ”

"Chase, tell the soldiers to catch more prisoners, kill less, and don't enter the forest so that the other party will have an ambush."

In fact, there is no need for Li Nan to say that these soldiers will also try their best to capture the prisoners, because before the troops were dispatched, Li Nan announced several good news about the spoils of war to everyone.

Guangnan West Road is vast and sparsely populated, whether it is farming, road construction or mining, a large number of people are needed, this time Li Nan's main purpose in sending troops to Jiaozhi is to arrest people.

If the slave soldiers capture three captives, they can obtain the status of free people, and the servants and the free people of the Zhennan Army can directly sell the captured captives to Li Nan for money, so in the eyes of these soldiers, these Jiaozhi people who are fleeing everywhere are freedom, and they are consistent copper coins.

With the encouragement of money, the five thousand soldiers began a frantic pursuit, and Li Nan took many generals to Yuanping City to rest.

Southerners are accustomed to building houses with bamboo and wood, and this earth-and-stone structure of the original flat city was built by the Song people, and it has maintained a bit of its original appearance after decades.

Because the governor Li Hui and other Jiaozhi people did not expect the 30,000-strong army to be defeated so quickly, they fled too hastily, only taking away the precious gold beads and silver coins, and a large amount of materials and food in the city were all left behind.

The soldiers opened several large granaries in the city, and the smell of rot came to their nostrils.

Today, everyone has seen the tens of thousands of Jiaozhi soldiers, most of them are skinny, obviously not full of food, originally everyone thought that the country of Jiaozhi was short of food, but now seeing that the rice in these granaries has all rotted, one by one they are angry.

Li Nan has long understood the complexity of human nature, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, Du Fu has long had the poem "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and the road has frozen bones".

No matter when food is a good thing, Li Nan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to move out the rice in the granary that was not seriously rotten to dry, and as for those that were inedible, they had to give up.

The soldiers were busy carrying the paddy when suddenly a squeaky sound came from the granary.

In the ears of the others, it was just the sound of a mouse being frightened, but Li Nan, who was fluent in beast language, heard a very interesting word--- rat king.

Signaling the others not to move, Li Nan flicked his right hand, showed the deadly throat gun he carried with him, and walked around the round granary quickly.

After a few minutes, Li Nan stopped, listened quietly to the cries of the mice, and suddenly smiled, grabbed the throat gun with both hands and stabbed it against the wall of the granary.

In the midst of the cracks in the earth and rocks, Li Nan quickly pulled out the silver spear, poked his right hand through the hole the size of the football, and grabbed a fat snow-white mouse from inside.

The strange white rat that had been caught squeaked in fright and struggled frantically to escape from Li Nan's grasp.

After looking at the little guy carefully, Li Nan said to it in beast language: "Don't struggle, you can't run." ”

The white mouse looked at Li Nan in front of him suspiciously with two small eyes, and said tentatively: "Can you speak our rat language?" ”

"Of course." Li Nan pointed to the rice in the granary and asked at the white mouse, "You have stolen so much of my grain, what do you think I should do with you?" ”

The IQ of the rat is not high among animals, so after thinking about it for a long time, the white rat king said stupidly: "I don't know, you can say it." ”

Catching a rat king was a surprise for Li Nan, and after a series of conversations, Li Nan made an agreement with it.

Li Nan was not guilty of them stealing their own grain, and gave them all the remaining rotten rice, but in exchange they were to help Li Nan three times in the future.

In the evening, the soldiers who had gone in pursuit returned one after another, with strings of cochin captives bound with ropes and vines.

Standing at the head of the city and looking at the countless Jiaozhi captives sitting on the ground outside, Li Nan never expected that his 5,000 troops would capture so many people, which seemed to exceed 30,000.

The total number of enemy troops was more than 30,000 people, and after the battle, nearly 10,000 people were killed and wounded, how could there be more than 30,000 prisoners now?

Li Nan, who was full of doubts, led everyone to inspect outside the city, and found that a large number of captured Jiaozhi soldiers had various styles of tattoos and imprints on their bodies.

This mark is no stranger to Li Nan and many people from the Roman world around him, because they still have the slave mark on their arms that represent the Batitas family.

There were many races and languages in the land of Cochin, and Li Nan found several translators to figure out the origin of these captives.

The royal family and other nobles of the Cochin Kingdom rejoiced in their achievements, built a large number of buildings, built palaces, and constantly issued decrees, divided land, and revised taxes, which made the exploitation of the vast number of peasants in Cochin extremely heavy, so the phenomenon of peasants going bankrupt and becoming slaves was extremely common.

The current Jiaozhi Emperor Li Renzong is quite ambitious. In order to increase the land area, Li Renzong first started a war against the Great Song Dynasty, and after being defeated, he aimed at the surrounding small countries, and sent troops several times to plunder a large number of slaves from Zhancheng, Zhenla, Dali, Ailao, Niu Roar Man, etc.

Most of these Jiaozhi slaves captured by Li Nan's army are a mixture of slaves captured by various small countries and ethnic groups.
