Chapter 29: The Decisive Battle (Part II)
The Liaodong heavy cavalry in the front row rounded the Xiangyang alloy knife, chopping melons and vegetables and killing into the Xianbei array.
The Liaodong Iron Cavalry Light Cavalry in the back held a repeating crossbow in one hand and a Xiangyang iron knife in the other.
When encountering Xianbei warriors, first fire a repeater, which can sweep away one or two warriors at a time.
After the crossbow is fired, drop the repeater at will, at this time it is too late to hang on the horse, "Liaodong crossbow use regulations", this situation has long been explained, people-oriented, must be thrown on the ground, after the war and then recycled, back to the furnace to rebuild.
Then they held the Xiangyang iron knife with both hands, and slashed at the Xianbei warriors with a wide open and closed wide.
The war was in a chaotic phase, and the fear of death made the Xianbei people fight hard to find a chance of survival.
Moments later, the battle between the two sides was over.
Xianbei and Wuhuan combined armies, with less than 20,000 soldiers left, still alive on horseback.
Yuwen Mona and Yan Rou did not lead anyone to turn the horse's head, they waved their scimitars, and then attacked the ballista position in Liaodong.
Their idea was right, because behind them was the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, so it was impossible for Gongsun Kang to give the order to shoot.
The power of the ballista is too great, and it will sweep through all living and dead things in its range, regardless of whether they are enemies or enemies.
Zhao Yun and Gao Ran took a total of less than 20,000 horses, and went forward separately to intercept Xianbei and Wuhuan to fight.
In less than a few rounds, Zhao Yun pierced Yuwen Mona's chest with a single shot, tearing his heart to shreds.
Zhao Yun picked up Yuwen's corpse and shouted: "Yuwen Mona is dead, surrender quickly!" ”
The remaining more than 10,000 Xianbei soldiers on the battlefield no longer had the fighting spirit and dismounted and surrendered.
In this battle, the ballistae had broken their backbones, and they no longer had the courage to fight the Han Chinese.
The grassland peoples all admire the strong, and the defeated can even lick the boots of the victor with respect, which is also a similar disposition to the people of the island country, the more ruthless they beat, the more docile and respectful they are. On the contrary, if you give them a moral education with righteousness and morality, they will look at you with the eyes of the animals, and judge which piece of meat is fat and which is thin; Is it delicious to braised or grilled.
Yan Rou snorted coldly, brushed away Gao Ran's spear, and wanted to escape with the remaining thousands of people in Wuhuan.
The small flag officer ordered the use of two platoon ballistas to aim at Yan Rou.
Then the war drums beat rhythmically. Hearing the sound of war drums, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was stunned, but they immediately got rid of the entanglement of the enemy army, avoided these Wuhuan cavalry one after another, and gave them a straight passage.
Yan Rou didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and there was no one to stop him.
Overjoyed, he whipped his horse and accelerated his escape.
Escaped 1,000 steps, only his own Wuhuan subordinates around, and there was no longer a Liaodong iron horse, so he took a breath and thought it was safe.
At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of palpitations, as if he was being targeted by a flood beast.
There was a bang, and 100 crossbow arrows chased after him from behind. The Wuhuan cavalry behind Yan Rou was like wheat that had been cut down, and they quickly fell to the ground one by one.
Soon it was Yan Rou's turn, and three crossbow arrows pierced him.
Although he was already 1,000 paces away, the spring-powered crossbow arrows, the crossbow arrows as thick as iron spears, still pierced his body through the holes the size of three bowls. You can see through the front to the back.
Obviously, he couldn't survive, Yan Rou fell on the corpse of his war horse, looked at the blue sky weakly, and muttered, "I... Good.. Hate... ”
Hate what? Hate yourself for dying before you get out of school? Hate yourself for being a thief and a father?
Yan Rou, who was supposed to become a national hero of the Han family who left a name in history, was shot by the platoon ballista of the Liaodong army as the leader of Wuhuan in this way!
The war was basically over, with more than 70,000 of the 100,000 Xianbei warriors killed and more than 10,000 captured. The officers and soldiers of Liaodong suffered a total of nearly 10,000 casualties.
Gongsun Kang ordered:
1, 40,000 Liaodong iron cavalry divided into 20 teams, to sweep the grassland, chase down the defeated soldiers, and find and sweep the hidden small and medium-sized tribes. Only 10,000 Chinese soldiers were left to burn the prisoners and clean up the battlefield.
Five Hu and sixteen countries, so that the four countries were removed. The four countries established by Murong Xianbei, Former Yan, Later Yan, Southern Yan, and Northern Yan will no longer exist, because their ancestors were all beaten into pulp and pieces in this battle!
2. Caucasian Xianbei people, regardless of men, women, old and children, do not take prisoners, kill them all. In this way, there will be no more people who eat two-legged sheep.
Before leaving, Gao Ran hesitated to ask Gongsun Kang: "Lord, don't these three Xianbei tribes need to send people to find their old and weak women and children's stations?" ”
The nest of the three major tribes, this is the bulk of the loot, and Gao Ran is now addicted to plundering. A good honest and selfless general has also become a bandit leader in Liaodong.
Gongsun Kang laughed when he heard this, and Xi Zhicai explained to Gao Ran: Seven days ago, when we set off, the lord had already sent an additional 40,000 Liaodong iron horsemen to kill and plunder the old and weak women and children of the three major tribes and the Wuhuan tribe. Because there is an insider revelation, one catches one accurately. It is estimated that they have all been brought back to Youzhou now.
Gao Ran's old face turned red, and he was ready to retire.
Xi Zhicai joked: "Among the captives of the three major tribes this time, there must be a lot of beauties." When General Gao returns triumphantly, remember to go to the prisoner camp and choose two beauties. ”
Gao Ran paused, and then left in a hurry. Damn, Lao Tzu just almost rejected two Xianbei girls, and they were all rumored to be jokes. Anyway, who knew in advance that the welfare of the Liaodong army was so good.
This time, the nests of the three major tribes were cleaned. Needless to say, millions of cattle and sheep have been arrested, and hundreds of thousands of adult Xianbei women have been caught. After each Liaodong soldier participating in the war is assigned a Xianbei woman, there are still hundreds of thousands left.
Gongsun Kang ordered the remaining Xianbei women to be brought back to Liaodong to be taken under centralized care, raising silkworms, washing clothes, planting vegetables and melons, and spinning cotton and clothing. In the civil war in the future, there will not be a large number of women to plunder, so the reward for meritorious soldiers will be drawn from these women.
The war ended, and the development of the steppes had just begun.
The government of Liaodong decided to implement the policy of large-scale immigration and large-scale development. The Wuhuan people and Goguryeo people all migrated to the grasslands. Han Chinese, who like to graze, also immigrate. The Han Chinese must be more numerous than the other ethnic groups combined.
All races mixed together, called Han Chinese, intermarried with each other to achieve ethnic integration.
No matter what ethnic group the herdsmen are, when they come to the grassland, each person can get some cattle, sheep and horses.
This is the property of the Liaodong government and is rented to them. And they only need to pay two-tenths of the new cattle, sheep and horses every year, one head as rent and one head in taxes.
For example, if there are 10 lambs born to the flock this year, two of them need to be handed in.
If there are no new students, then there is no need to turn them in.
