The Roaring Legion Scroll Chapter 246 Ruthless Calculations
Bridger, who retreated, was stopped outside his own tribal team, and when he saw this, he knew that he had been betrayed by the timid old fox of the patriarch, and he couldn't help but scold, "Chi Erzan, you shameless and cowardly bastard..."
Listening to Bridger's scolding, Chi Erzan couldn't help but get annoyed, he even planned to let his own people kill this thorn who had never been very obedient, but the Great Qin officer beside him stopped him, "He is ours." When the interpreter relayed the message to Chi'erzan, the soldier who had been sent back by Liu Yu arrived, and he conveyed Liu Yu's order to the interpreter.
After listening to the interpreter's words, Chi'er praised Leng, and shouted at Bridger, who was still scolding, "Bridger, you donkey listen, the general of Great Qin is merciful, give you a chance to live, as long as you take your people to win the ten warriors of Great Qin, he will forgive your sins." ”
Hearing Chi Er Zan's words, Brijie couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that this black army was actually sent by the legendary Great Qin, but soon he was woken up by Chi Er Zan's words, he looked back at his subordinates with a complaining look on their faces and shouted, "Can't we beat ten people with more than a hundred people?" It's useless for you to blame me now, cheer me up, and if you want to live, fight with me. Bridger roared, then turned the horse's head, and rushed towards Liu Yujun, his subordinates were stunned, and they also howled and followed, their only way to survive now was to win the ten Great Qin warriors, and the only way to fight with Bridger was to fight together.
Just as Bridger and the others rushed over, in the tiger and leopard cavalry in front of them, ten soldiers rode out, wearing heavy armor all over their bodies, raised their heavy riding spears, lined up, and controlled the war horses under their crotches and began to run in small steps. Push forward. Bridger and the others were stunned when they saw the ten heavily armed tigers and leopards riding out, and then they took out the bows and arrows in their hands and shot them forward, but their bows and arrows were not powerful in the first place, and most of the arrows they used were made of animal bones. In the face of the tiger and leopard riders wearing triple armor, such arrows like theirs have no lethality at all.
Seeing the arrows he had shot at the rushing black knights being ricocheted off by the hard armor, Bridger and his men felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, and they could only watch as the faster and faster horses rushed towards them carrying those terrible ironclad knights, and they drew their scimitars in vain, and held their wooden spears in their hands, hoping to resist the charge of these black knights.
The heavy cavalry that charged, except for the heavy infantry that formed a tight formation. There is almost no one to stop, and there is only one fate for the light cavalry and heavy cavalry to hedge, that is, complete death, as the most elite heavy cavalry in the Great Qin Legion, the tiger and leopard cavalry with heavy equipment can only be described in two words in the frontal decisive battle. That's 'invincible', truly 'invincible'.
The black long riding spear was driven by the high speed of the war horse. Destroying everything in front of them with terrifying destructive power, the tiger and leopard riders lined up in a line formation swept through the hundred light cavalry in front of them like a black hurricane, and when they broke through the formation of these light cavalry at high speed, their spears were already covered with bloody bodies, and the lives that were still alive on the horses before had been killed at this moment. Swing the gun. The corpses fell to the ground, and the tiger and leopard riders had turned their horses in unison, still in a neat formation. He raised his black rifle again and charged forward.
Looking at the cavalry that seemed to be black thunder destroying Bridger's cavalry team, the people of the Yalong clan trembled, and even those young people with strong blood trembled, surrendering to this absolutely powerful force, the respect of the strong is the iron rule of survival that they have believed in for thousands of years, and now in front of their eyes, this black army is far more powerful than they imagined, they can only surrender, and they are willing.
After three successive shocks, only a few of Briger's centaurs were left with more than twenty men, and the others were either stabbed to death by the terrible black knights with their terrible spears, or they were knocked off their horses under the thunderous charge, and turned into powder under the iron hooves, only a few lucky ones lay on the ground wailing and groaning, and their leader, Bridger, had been pierced by the black spears in the second wave of confrontations, and became lifeless corpses. The tiger and leopard riders turned their horses again, and the black cavalry spears in their hands were flattened, but by this time the remaining tribal soldiers no longer had the courage to confront these heavy tiger and leopard riders who were no different from death, and they fled, and more than twenty horses fled into the distance.
The tiger and leopard riders did not pursue, they just looked at the fleeing tribal soldiers, with a disdainful look in their eyes, in the black military formation behind them, Liu Yu waved his hand, and then the elite light infantry from the Jinling Metropolitan Protectorate pulled the crossbow machine in their hands, and Daqin's three consecutive strong crossbows roared and shot a dense array of arrows, shooting those fleeing Yalong soldiers into hedgehogs.
There was only a curtain of arrows, and then there were corpses in the ground, and all the men and horses were crucified to the ground. This was the last sight that the Yaryube saw, and in that moment, these tribesmen, who had lived on the plateau for thousands of years and believed in obedience to the strong, were on their knees, they had been completely subdued, and as the weak they would offer their absolute loyalty to the strong.
Looking at these Hu people kneeling on the ground with a reverent face, the Great Qin soldiers who believed in the would rather die than surrender were silent, they did not understand the habits of the Hu people, for the Hu people living in a bad environment, the weak eat the strong, and the only rule of their survival is to become the king and defeat the king, in their past tribal wars, they will do their best to fight for victory on the battlefield, but once they fail, they will surrender to the strong, and accept all dispositions obediently, the victor has everything from the defeated, this is their only law.
The weak will give their lives to the conqueror, and be proud to be the slave of the conqueror, because then they can share the honor and benefits of the conqueror, as long as they offer their loyalty, then one day they may also become a member of the conqueror, to attack other weak, to enjoy the thrill of life and death, this is the only way and justice on the plateau.
For the Yalong Tribe, the strength of the Great Qin army in front of them made them dare not even think of fighting, and in the past, when they faced the annexation of other powerful tribes, they would rise up and resist
will be conquered. They also had to prove to the conquerors that they were strong, that is, to be strong slaves, so that they could be qualified to become the new conquerors, but the army of Great Qin. Unlike those tribes on the plateau, who proved themselves to be strong and had only one end, and that was to exterminate the tribe, every person in the Yalong tribe had already deeply understood this after seeing the terrifying charge of the tiger and leopard rider, and all they could do was to offer their only loyalty to the powerful conqueror of Great Qin.
Liu Yu was not stationed in the valley of the Yalong Division. He could see that these Hu people did not dare to rebel, he just left a hundred people, and sent people back to the camp to report the situation to Li Ang, from the Yalong tribe, he got more detailed information, in this vicinity. There are only two tribes like Yalong, but those two tribes are more pro-Tibetan. And the other one is the only 10,000-strong tribe in this area, they have enmity with the Tubo, but in the past, the Tubo people were busy suppressing the newly conquered tribes near the city of Luo, so they did not take care of them, but now the Tubo people have preliminarily completed the unification of the plateau, and sooner or later they will attack the Yangtong.
The news from Yalong made Liu Yu think of the news sent by Li Cunzhi before. So he immediately set off and rushed towards the place where Li Cunzhi was. He wanted to know whether the tribal soldiers Li Cunzhi met were sent by the Tubo people, and it was very important. There is no reason for him to be sloppy.
At night, Li Cunzhi took his subordinates' scouts out of the hiding hills and touched the Tubo military camp stationed on the riverside in front, for him, the military camp of these Tubo people is not much different from the previous Tiele people, but a little more vigilant, but Li Cunzhi did not intend to sneak in, he just asked his subordinates to write down the location of the military camps of the Tubo people, and then took the people back to the place where they were stationed, at least he can now be sure that the five captured Tubo soldiers did not lie to him.
The next day, when Liu Yu and Li Cunzhi joined up with their troops, they made the decision to withdraw their troops, although the nearly 1,000 men and horses they had at hand had the absolute certainty of defeating the 5,000 Tibetan army, but if they wanted to annihilate them all, if they didn't let one go, they couldn't do it, and if they were startled by this, it would be their sin. The two decided to go to Yalongbu first to wait for news from the camp, and they believed that Leon would make proper arrangements.
In the evening of the same day, Li Ang handed over the news sent back by Li Cunzhi and Liu Yu to the officers and staff officers present in his handsome tent, and at the same time there was also the news sent back by Chen Ba's advance people, and Liu Yu was different from Liu Yu, Chen Ba first met the two pro-Tibetan tribes mentioned by the Yalong Department, he didn't say a word, and directly swept away the two tribes, beheading a total of 2,000, and now he is taking the remaining 4,000 prisoners and cattle, sheep and horses back to the camp.
"Guys, what do you think we should do now?" Although Leon already had his own ideas in mind, he still had to look at the opinions of the officers present, and if any of them agreed with him, it would be the best, so as to save him an explanation at that time.
"My lord, the last general thinks that the news sent back by Li Junhou and General Liu should be credible, the five thousand Tubo soldiers are here to attack the sheep and the same department, if our army makes a move, these five thousand people will naturally not be able to run away, but this is a cheap sheep and the same department, according to the last general's opinion, it is better to send people to recruit the sheep and the same department, so that they can confront those Tubo people, so as to confuse the Tubo people."
Listening to what the officer said, the other officers present all showed thoughtful expressions, they understood the meaning of this, as long as the sheep and those Tubo people were opposed, then the possibility of their arrival leaking was smaller, and then the sheep and the Tubo people confronted each other, and they just headed towards the city of Luo, which can be described as a clever plan to hide from the sky and the sea.
"What do you think?" Li Ang looked at the generals in the tent and asked in a deep voice. "We have no objection, everything is up to the decision of the adults." The generals looked at each other, and then they stood up together to answer, and they could see that Leon did not object to the proposal.
"Then the matter was decided." Li Ang looked at the generals who stood up and said in a heavy voice, "You go back to the camp to continue training the soldiers and prepare to go to battle." ”
"Whoa!" In unison, those generals withdrew from the tent, leaving only Li Ang and Li Cunxiao, "Cunxiao, you go to Baxian in person, and tell him that those captives don't have to be brought back, but directly to the Yalong Ministry, and when you get there, I will reward the Yalong Ministry." ”
"Father-in-law, is it a little inappropriate for the Yalongbu to give them such a rich reward without having the skill of size?" After listening to what Li Ang said, Li Cunxiao thought about it and asked puzzledly.
"Although the Yalong tribe is useless to Great Qin, they are the first tribe to surrender to us, I have to reward them, and most importantly, the sheep are much stronger than them, and I need them to have the strength to compete with the sheep tribe." Looking at the puzzled Li Cunxiao, Li Ang smiled, on the plateau, the balance of power is what he is pursuing, he doesn't want to fall a Tubo, and then rise up to any other country, before Daqin completes the training of a large-scale army and can establish an effective garrison and rule on the plateau, Daqin definitely needs to have some obedient tribes on the plateau to do something inconvenient for Daqin to do for Daqin.
"The father-in-law wants to let the Yalongbu be able to restrain the sheep in the future, so that the sheep will not dominate the family." Li Cunxiao quickly understood what Li Ang meant, and at this time he understood that fighting a war is not only about things on the battlefield, but also about more things as a commander.
"It is impossible for us to kill all the barbarians on the plateau, and excessive killing will cause a backlash, and the way to achieve long-term peace and stability is to use barbarians to defeat the barbarians and assimilate them, but until then, it is necessary to use the barbarians to reduce their population with their own swords." Li Ang looked at the righteous son in front of him and said quietly, "There are some things that we are not convenient to do, and we can also win people's hearts in the name of justice afterwards." ”
Looking at Li Ang, Li Cunxiao's heart was shocked, he understood what his father-in-law meant, as long as the interests of Great Qin required it, then in the future, those defectors who slaughtered the population of the plateau for Great Qin would be ruthlessly abandoned, and there was no other way.
