Chapter 91: Divide the Spoils
After some propaganda and agitation, the moon was about to set, and everyone began to clean up the battlefield. Drag the corpses of the Yiqu people together, and collect the loot aside. While sending people to dig big pits and bury people, they counted the amount of loot.
After dawn, the bodies of the Yiqu people were also buried. All those who participated in the battle did not disperse and were waiting to share the spoils.
Under the auspices of the tribal leaders and elders, the spoils of war were first taken out to subsidize the dead and wounded. And then! Assignments are made according to the size of the merit.
In fact! After subsidizing the dead and wounded, there was basically not much loot.
Most of the subsidies given to the families of the deceased were horses. As a grassland person, if you have horses, cattle and sheep at home, you have the hope of survival.
The subsidy to the injured is the injured horse. These wounded horses can be healed, but if they can't, they will be killed and eaten.
Then it is distributed according to the size of the merit, and the person with the greatest merit will divide the good war horse. Those who have a small credit share the wounded war horses. The rest of the people who participated in the battle had only their weapons.
The money and belongings of the deceased are generally taken by the person who collects the body. When cleaning the battlefield, whoever goes to the corpse first will have the money on the corpse to be his. And then! He was in charge of dragging the bodies together. If you're lucky, you can make a small fortune. Some of the deceased have not only coins, but also jade and other valuable things.
The people of the deer park are different from people in other places in that they don't want the clothes of the dead. In many parts of the Zhou Dynasty, some people even stripped the clothes of the deceased. The deceased is stripped naked before being buried. Because! For the poor, the clothes of the dead are also very valuable.
Even! There were also merchants who specialized in buying and selling the clothes of the dead. They collect the clothes of the dead from the battlefield and take them back to be washed. Then ask the sewing girl to sew the torn part and take it to the market to sell. Or! Wholesale to others.
Not to mention in ancient times, but in modern times! There are also people who do business in this area. Collect the clothes of the dead from the funeral home or the funeral home abroad, and then dispose of it and sell it in the market.
In most places, it is taboo to have the clothes of the dead and the money of the dead.
The people of Luyuan don't want the clothes on the dead people, just armor, coins, jade, etc. Of course! For gorgeous satin clothes, it is also possible to secretly peel them off. Even if you don't peel it off, it will be distressing and a pity for a long time.
It's true! It's a shame to be buried.
Bai Gui was not involved in the distribution of the spoils of war, nor did he participate in cleaning up the battlefield. After some propaganda and agitation, he returned to the Deer Park tribe with his six wives.
Behind them were five uncles and sisters-in-law, as well as nephews and nieces who adored them.
After coming back, the five uncles and sisters-in-law went to cook and prepare wine and food for the white officials. After bringing the food and drinks, they went home to wash up and go about their own business. Right now! They were at their mother-in-law's house.
After Bai Gui and his six wives returned, they did not wash or rest, but discussed the caravan together. Although Snow Lotus is back, the caravan is also in danger, but what about other people's caravans? Is it safe? Everybody is worried.
The Yiqu people almost poured out of the nest this time, and they came to destroy the deer park and the caravan. So! Had to hurry.
Although more than 1,000 people were eliminated in Yiqu, the two main forces of Yiqu were eliminated. But after all! These people are only part of the Yiqu army. The rest! Although their combat effectiveness is not very good, they have an advantage in numbers. Their large army is coming, and they are also very powerful in fighting with you.
The battle of the cavalry is an attack, a sneak attack, and a surprise! It is destructive to a certain extent, and the opponent is caught off guard. But infantry also has the advantage of infantry, that is, to fight positional battles.
If the king of Yiqu comes with tens of thousands of infantry, it will be devastating to besiege you first, then shoot with bows and arrows, and then charge.
In the face of positional battles, the role of cavalry is small. If people are prepared, there are many ways to deal with cavalry.
The most basic way to do this is this: when they see your cavalry coming, they first form a shield team and build a shield wall in front of the position. No matter how fast the war horse is, it will not be able to break through the shield wall. Behind the shield wall is the Changge team.
This is what the ancient Changge team played to deal with cavalry. As soon as the cavalry rushed over, they hid behind their shields and stabbed people and horses with Changge, mainly against horses. The horses were wounded, and the cavalry defeated themselves.
In fact! Before the cavalry had yet to charge in front of the position, and had just reached the range of the archers, there was a rain of arrows. Under the attack of the rain of arrows, the cavalry generally killed a lot of people. It's also possible! The cavalry will be wiped out as a result.
So! Cavalry is not suitable for positional battles. Cavalry is only suitable for sports battles and sneak attacks. And also! Cavalry can have an advantage in speed, play the role of a noble and fast soldier, and can quickly transport troops to their destination.
In a word! The cavalry has the advantage of cavalry, and the infantry has the advantage of infantry, each with its own strengths. Overall, cavalry had a greater advantage than infantry.
"What to do? White officials? Xue Lian asked anxiously.
Qi Rong, Mo Xiaoyu, Zhou Yan, and Yang Siqing also looked at Bai Gui with anxious eyes.
When the Big Mac came back, she was paralyzed like a paralyzed person, and she didn't want to move. Behind her, stood nephews and nieces. The nephews and nieces all looked at her giant aunt with adoring eyes.
Bai Gui didn't have a better way, thought about it and said, "I don't have a better way!" I think? We have the advantage of being small and having a small number of people! Haven't they come here yet? So! Let's go to them first......"
"Looking for them? Can they? Snow Lotus interrupted anxiously.
I thought: When is it? Will the Yiqu people still negotiate with us?
"I think? It's still the old way! Capture the thief and capture the king first! We sneaked over and found their main army, that is, to find the king of Yiqu, and then! 'Click'! Bai Gui said, making a slashing gesture.
"Kill the King of Yiqu?" Xue Lian asked incredulously.
"Hmm!" Bai Gui nodded affirmatively. "As long as the king of Yiqu is dead, this war may be over. On the side of Yiqu Country, there is no fight and chaos. Not to mention that there is chaos within the royal family of Yiqu, and other tribes, why don't they take advantage of this time to be in chaos? Isn't it? ”
The five uncles and sisters-in-law brought wine and food, and everyone continued to discuss while eating and drinking, and they all thought it was a good idea. As long as the king of Yiqu is killed, the dragons will be leaderless, and they will be in chaos without a fight, and they will retreat.
After dawn, several people were getting ready to go to sleep. Raise your spirits, set off at night, go to the large army of Yiqu Kingdom, and carry out a sneak attack and assassination plan. The leader of the Deer Park tribe came over and told Bai Gui that he and the sheep girl had killed the Balkans, and the credit was the greatest, and fifty horses were divided.
Other than that! After consulting with the clansmen and elders, the land in the grove was officially given to him.
