Chapter 4: The First Robbery
The villages of this era were very poor and could not plunder much wealth, which Gongsun Kang was psychologically prepared for. The purpose of the plunder was to train troops, and at the same time to reduce the population of Goguryeo and weaken Goguryeo's war strength.
Goguryeo were not nomadic people, they also lived by farming, hunting, and fishing.
At present, Goguryeo is still a tribal system and does not practice centralized power. It was just right to divide the blow without facing the counterattack of the whole of Goguryeo.
Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi led 50 family members, carrying dry food and water, and began to march in the direction of Goguryeo. On the first day, I encountered an embarrassing thing: I didn't bring a tent or a blanket. You can only camp at night.
Gongsun Kang looked at Liu Yi without saying a word, meaning: What do you need to bring to the march, I don't know when I'm young, you won't understand it after many years of being a soldier?
With a square face, Liu Yi, who had a righteous face, was seen with an old face flushed. "What then. Big nephew. The head of the house asked me not to remind you of anything unless you asked me. ”
"Did my father still say that you only know what you have experienced is impressive?" Gongsun Kang reacted immediately.
"Yes, yes, that's what the head of the house meant." Liu Yi nodded hurriedly.
Gongsun Kang is really speechless, these 2 are old and disrespectful guys.
Camping is also particular, and you can't catch a cold. In this era, medicine was extremely underdeveloped, and any minor injury or illness could lead to incurable death.
Gongsun Kang ordered people to light a bonfire, dry the ground, spread some hay before sleeping, and cover his body with some hay. Bonfires around the city cannot be extinguished at night. 4 people are assigned to each night to be on duty. 2 people are worth the first half of the night, and 2 people are worth the second half of the night. Also keep an eye on the campfire.
When marching, send 3 men to the front to investigate. If there is no abnormality, insert a 2-meter-long peeled wooden stick on the side of the road as a marker every 2 miles; If there's an anomaly, run back and report it.
After two days of marching, 2 horses and 50 men came to the vicinity of a small village on the border with Goguryeo.
The village is surrounded by green wheat fields, small patches of wheat that grow happily. Gongsun Kang happily said to Jia Yi: "Remember to remind me that in the summer, we have to bring people over to harvest wheat." ”
The 2 people riding horses were Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi. Fortunately, in this era, there is no idea of equality between the upper and lower levels, and Gongsun Kang does not need to write another article: "On Absolute Equality", which explains that riding a horse as an official is a work need.
As for equality for all, it's actually a very nonsense sentence. At what time in human history has there ever been equality? Have you ever been an equal to your boss? Have you ever been an equal to your leader? Superpowers and the Third World have ever been equals? There has never been relative equality, never absolute equality.
From two miles away from the village, there are all thatched houses. Dilapidated, decayed.
The villagers in the village went in and out, and there was no sense of precaution at all. After all, they have always robbed the Han people, and the Han people have never dared to come to Goguryeo to rob them. It may also be that the Confucian education of the Han people is good: robbery is a robber style, a bad thing, an unbenevolent thing, and something that a gentleman does not do.
Liu Yi made a few gestures. Every 2 and 10 people, led by the chief, detoured back to the four sides of the village. There were still ten people left to stay with Gongsun Kang. This is a tactic that has been said beforehand.
After the parts were all in place, Gongsun Kang pulled out his waist knife, raised it and shouted: "Kill it!" “
The trumpeters blew the horns, which could be heard all around the village, which was the horn of the attack.
The tribes did not run fast, but walked forward step by step in two rows with flat-ended spears, which was to save physical strength. These details, Gongsun Kang could think of in advance, told everyone in advance. More and more detailed, you need to summarize after a few robberies. Gongsun Kang is going to make a robbery regulation and rules to regulate and promote robbery.
This is the harvest of his previous life of studying economic management. Each thing has a regulation and detailed rules, and newcomers in the company can quickly get started and standardize them.
The gong in the village rang out, and at the same time someone shouted: The Han people are coming.
The fierce Goguryeo people practiced a tribal system, and when they were engaged in agriculture and robbed the Han people, they had to send some young men to each village to gather as soldiers, and there were also old people who had experienced countless battles. A large part of their daily necessities were obtained by adult men in their families who robbed Han Chinese.
Therefore, when the villagers heard that the Han people were coming, they did not panic too much, and walked out of the house with hoes and sticks. There were also some young men with spears, short knives, and even leather armor.
The Han tribes on all sides surrounded them, and the Goguryeo people didn't know where to go to fight. Some elders began to command the distribution, and there were more than 20 people on each side to fight, which was no less than the number of Han people.
It seems that it is impossible to establish authority without killing a few people, Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi rushed up side by side, waving knives to cut around, while shouting: "Surrender and don't kill!" ”
The phrase surrender without killing is shouted in Chinese. In this era, the Goguryeo people were able to understand Chinese. Because the Goguryeo people first developed from a few small villages in Xuansu County, and later occupied most of Xuansu County and Lelang County, and became a large tribe of 30,000 households in a hundred years.
It's one thing to understand, it's another to do it. The Goguryeo people looked at Gongsun Kang with contempt, and at the same time surrounded them and beat them with hoes and sticks. At the same time, he scolded: Little rabbit cub, the hair has not grown yet, and he dares to learn words like robbery.
Gongsun Kang slashed away with his sword, and a big human head flew into the sky, and a stream of blood rushed from his neck, spilling on Gongsun Kang's body, horseback, and more on the ground.
The biggest advantage of the cavalry is speed, Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi do not entangle with the villagers, killing people and cutting people, while urging the horses to charge. Kill from the head of the village to the end of the village. Each of them cut 5 or 6 people.
Jia Yi followed Gongsun Kang's side, swinging his knife from time to time to block some attacks on Gongsun Kang. He was so fast that he was able to keep up with the galloping horse.
The tribes also began to fight against the villagers. Although the villagers are fierce, they are no match for the tribes who often train. These parts, strictly speaking, have been on the battlefield and are Gongsun Du's personal soldiers. In this era, there was still a big difference in the combat effectiveness of the tuntian soldiers and the full-time soldiers.
Although the number of villagers is large, the tribe is not left behind with one enemy and two enemies.
There were no drums, only Liu Yi shouted: "Damn, dare to resist!" There is no mercy for those who resist! ”
The shouts of killing were continuous, and both sides were shouting. It is estimated that shouting can bring courage to one's own side and fear to the enemy.
Half an hour passed, and both sides were out of breath. Fifty or sixty villagers fell, six of them were killed, and more than two dozen were wounded. Blood was everywhere, and the seriously wounded were lying on the ground groaning in pain.
Finally, it was the villagers who collapsed first, led by the elders, who threw away their weapons. Kneeling on the ground, crying: "Stop fighting, we surrender!" ”
Gongsun Kang raised his knife and shouted: "Stop! Those who surrender do not kill! ”
