Chapter 153: Guerrilla Warfare
The Xuanjia cavalry was short on horseback, and the sabre was drawn horizontally, and the tribal soldiers who couldn't dodge felt a cold neck, and then looked at their heads and bodies separated. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
More than 100 young laborers had lost their heads in the blink of an eye, leaving only the old men, women and children guarding around the tents. The Xuanjia cavalry did not say a word, and quietly gathered there.
Jiang Sheng said: "As long as we have food and grass materials, we won't kill people indiscriminately!" With that, he sent hundreds of soldiers off their horses to search the tents.
This tribe had never been in contact with the Han people, so they didn't understand what Jiang Sheng was saying, and when they saw the soldiers take out the food from their tents, they knew what this group was going to do. Several old men slashed at the soldiers holding food bags with their knives.
The knights who were surrounding outside shot them on the spot with their crossbows, and the blood of these old men was splattered on the spot, and the women and children cried out in fright, and the knights aimed their crossbows at them again, and they immediately silenced them, and did not dare to make a sound.
Jiang Sheng pointed to the grain held by the soldiers, and told them his purpose with a gesture, and these tribesmen did not dare to move, so they had to watch as the cavalry took away their wintering rations.
Several women cried and knelt on the ground, begging Jiang Shengjun not to take away all the grain and grass, Jiang Sheng gestured to let them lead the way to other tribes nearby, these tribesmen probably "understood" Jiang Sheng's meaning, so they pushed out the young women in the tribe, some women with children, the old people kept the crying children, and sent these women to Jiang Shengjun.
It seemed that they had misunderstood, and Jiang Sheng meant to let them lead the way to attack other tribes in the vicinity, rather than coveting beauty.
The rules on the grassland are like this, the defeated will become the spoils of the victor, and the victor will ask for nothing more than women, grain and grass, and property, this small tribe does not have much property, and the grain and grass have also been taken away by Jiang Shengjun, and only women are left, so they guessed that Jiang Sheng wanted women.
But then again, now the only people in the tribe who can withstand the test of marching are these young women, and Jiang Sheng asked more than fifty knights to each bring a woman to lead the way in front. After a long comparison and explanation, these women really understood what Jiang Sheng meant.
Jiang Sheng told them that as long as they found the next tribe, they would return some of the food and let them go back, these women thought that they would be ruined by Jiang Shengjun, but Jiang Sheng thought so, they were all very happy, and led the way to another tribe nearby.
Jiang Sheng ordered these women to wait in the distance, and led the whole army to rush over.
This tribe has also discovered Jiang Sheng's cavalry, but before they can react, the dense crossbow arrows have already been shot, more than 100 tribal soldiers were shot in an instant, and the rest of the people fought back with bows and arrows in their hands, but Jiang Shengjun's knights and war horses were wearing fine armor, and the tribe's arrows did not cause much damage, only more than 20 people suffered flesh wounds.
The Xuanjia cavalry pulled out their sabers, rushed into the tribal camp, slashed left and right, and cut down the men and a few women in the tribe who had combat effectiveness to the ground, and after controlling the situation, Jiang Sheng's cavalry dismounted and turned the tent upside down, and the bacon, grain, arrows and other things in it were looted, and dozens of horses were also taken away, but they did not take the iron tools and treasures in it.
Similarly, several people tried to fight back, but they were all killed by crossbow arrows, and after cleaning up, Jiang Sheng ordered the women in the distance to come over, and then gave them more than ten horses and a small amount of food to return to the tribe.
These women were grateful to Dade, and after explaining Jiang Sheng's meaning to the people of this tribe, they rode their horses and brought food to leave, but Jiang Sheng stopped them again.
Jiang Sheng came up with an idea, so he gestured to "talk" to them, and after some comparison, they understood that Jiang Sheng was merging the two tribes, so that although there were no young and strong laborers, these women could also form a militia.
Since it was getting late, Jiang Sheng ordered a thousand cavalry to take up the task of guarding, and then the rest of the people were huddled in the tent to rest, of course, before eliminating the threat of these tribesmen, they had to be guarded as prisoners.
Several women who went back to report conveyed Jiang Sheng's meaning to those famous old people, they held a meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to merge, the young and strong laborers have been killed by Jiang Shengjun, if they still fight separately, it is easy to be swallowed up by other tribes on the grassland, rather than sit back and wait for death, Jiang Sheng's idea is still feasible.
On the second day, the inhabitants of the first tribe moved to the second tribe, Jiang Sheng left some arrows, weapons, grain and grass for them, and then took more than a dozen healthy women to find the next tribe.
Jiang Shengjun was like a snowball, attacking more than 20 tribes on the grassland in a row, obtaining sufficient food and arrows, and there were many beautiful women on the grassland, but Jiang Shengjun strictly ordered the whole army not to sleep with women, in order to ensure the physical strength of the cavalry, although he had a reputation for killing, but for these women of different races, how could they not be good people?
Without the defense of the young and strong tribes, these tribes are easy to be annexed, and under the influence of Jiang Sheng's hegemonism, many tribes have merged together, and the strength can be united, which can be regarded as Jiang Sheng's benevolence.
Qiu Liju's troops waited for more than half a month, but they didn't see any trace of Jiang Shengjun, and thought that Jiang Shengjun had destroyed himself, so they sent scouts to inquire about the news, and the news fed back by the scouts made Qiu Liju furious.
No wonder Jiang Shengjun was able to hold out for more than half a month, it turned out that there was no shortage of food at all, these tribes on the grassland provided Jiang Shengjun with sufficient food and grass supplies, Jiang Shengjun not only did not perish, but also improved his combat power, and mastered a lot of the situation on the grassland.
The most infuriating thing is that so many tribes have been cleaned up by Jiang Sheng, but Qiu Liju, who is Lord Wuhuan, did not send troops to rescue, in the long run, Qiu Liju will be unpopular, and maybe someone will rise up and resist Qiu Liju's rule.
Qiu Liju decided to take the initiative to attack Jiang Shengjun, and tens of thousands of cavalry divided into several roads and followed Jiang Shengjun's trajectory to pursue, but all they saw were tribes that had been sacked by Jiang Shengjun.
Jiang Sheng's scouts discovered the movement of Qiu Liju's army, and did not dare to fight, so everywhere they went, they were quick to fight, killing all the people who had combat effectiveness, regardless of men and women, and then robbed the grain and grass and left quickly, Qiu Liju's troops were led by Jiang Shengjun to run all over the grassland, but there was no trace of Jiang Shengjun.
When the New Year came, Jiang Sheng's army lost 21 people in non-combat, all of whom died of serious illness, and the grassland tribes that were plundered by Jiang Sheng reached 57.
All the Wuhuan tribe are soldiers, and now there are only old and weak women and children left, and no matter how strong Qiu Liju is, it is difficult to form a powerful Wuhuan cavalry. (To be continued.) )
