Chapter 10: Killing Spree (Part II)
Gao Shun shouted: "Drive out all the old and weak women and children in the tent." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes, General!"
Those Huns also thought that like the previous rules of war, when the war was over, the women, children, cattle, sheep and horses in the camp were all wealth, and would be accepted by the victors, they would become slaves of the victors, at least they could still live, so they all obediently walked out of the tents.
It's just that they didn't expect that it was the Han people who were killed this time, how could it be the same as before? After they were gathered together, Gao Shun shouted: "Kill them all, leave no one, let Du Ren and Cheng Qian do it." Those who dared to resist were shot with arrows. ”
"Yes, General!"
Those Huns knew that it was not good, but they were unarmed and surrounded by cavalry, and there was no hope of escape at all, so they could only curse loudly: "You must not die well, Shan Yu and King Zuo Xian will avenge us!" ”
A woman with a child in her arms suddenly fell to her knees and shouted, "The general's men have mercy, we are Han Chinese." ”
Gao Shun saw the child's hateful gaze and obvious yellow hair, high nose bridge, deep eye sockets and other alien features, and shook his head resolutely, such a young child had such a hateful gaze, he didn't want to raise a tiger for trouble. The woman was stabbed to death by Du Ren without hesitation, and the child under the age of 10 was not spared.
Now is not the time for mercy.
Some of the Huns scolded in a louder and more vicious voice, but unfortunately Gao Shun could not understand the language of the Huns. Anyway, they are all dying people, and Gao Shun is lazy to care about them.
Ma Gui rode to Gao Shun's side and whispered, "General, do you want to leave some people as our slaves?" ”
Gao Shun thought for a while, shook his head, and objected: "Our current strength is too weak, first, we can't resist the counterattack of the Huns; Second, we must not provoke contradictions between the Han and the Huns on the surface, otherwise the government will find us trouble. ”
Li Qiang, who was standing next to him, nodded and agreed with Gao Shun's words, after all, the Huns were regarded as the subjects of the Han Dynasty on the bright side, if they robbed the Hun camp and were poked out, the government would definitely abandon them for the sake of the overall situation and in order to appease the anger of the Huns, they didn't want to be sacrificed in vain.
Ma Gui suggested again: "General, do you want to leave the Han women behind?" ”
Gao Shun thought about it for a while and said: "Next time, the Han women will be selected, and they will be detained first, and after they return, they will stay at will, but the Hun children they gave birth to cannot be kept." ”
"Yes, General." Gao Shun can decide like this, and Ma Gui is already very satisfied.
The rest of the matter is much simpler, someone kills sheep to prepare lunch, someone helps Gao Shun search for supplies, and someone is responsible for guarding. With Li Qiang in charge, Gao Shun was very relaxed. Livestock, supplies, etc. were all exchanged for points, which was slightly more than the last harvest, and 3,300 points were obtained.
After eating, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Shun decided to camp there for a night, so he said: "Rest here today, I don't want to spend the night in the wild anymore, it's too uncomfortable." ”
"Yes, General!" The crowd obeyed Gao Shun's command.
Li Qiang suggested: "General, we'd better send a few people out to reconnoiter the location of the Huns' camp, and strive to kill two more tomorrow, and it's not fun to kill today." ”
Gao Shun felt that this suggestion was good, it could increase the efficiency of killing, and said, "Okay, you can arrange it." ”
Li Qiang arranged to send Zhao Xiong and other four people into two groups to reconnoiter the Huns' camp in the west and north directions, and told them that no matter what the result was, they must rush back before dark.
After the arrangement was made, Li Qiang found Gao Shun again and said: "General, this time is not an assassination, and the Huns were not easily killed by us?" So hopefully the generals will not overestimate their combat effectiveness. ”
Gao Shun didn't expect Li Qiang to mention this matter again, and retorted: "This time we are a sneak attack, and the other party doesn't even have horses, not even weapons, which is equivalent to slaughter; If they had horses, weapons, and someone in charge, and they had formed a formation to fight head-to-head, we wouldn't have won so easily. ”
Li Qiang walked away speechlessly.
In the following period, Gao Shun's squad began to carry out frenzied killing of the Hun camps, destroying one or two Hun camps every day, and more often than 3 camps, and the hunting team increased by 2 pikemen every day, and with the continuous increase of personnel, the killing efficiency was also constantly improving.
During the period, many Han people who were enslaved by the Huns were rescued, among which many Han women committed suicide after seeing their children killed, and some women committed suicide because they were insulted and returned to their hometown without face, and the remaining women were concentrated in residence, Gao Shun promised them that those who were willing to go home would send them home, and Gao Shun, who had no home, would take care of them for a lifetime.
The Han men were all young and strong, and it was difficult for the old and infirm to survive in the Xiongnu camps, so they were gathered and organized into logistics troops, responsible for taking care of horses, killing sheep and cooking, and guarding the camp, Gao Shun hoped that they would join his troops after maintaining their bodies for a period of time; These people's riding skills are generally much better than those of the Han people in the interior, and they are excellent candidates for forming cavalry units; Even those who could not participate in the cavalry units were masters of taking care of horses, cattle and sheep, and were excellent candidates for auxiliary cavalry units.
In order to give these people a chance to take revenge, every time the captured Huns were killed, these rescued Han people would be killed.
In order to cover up the existence of the system, they were asked to keep the logistics supplies away from the battlefield every time, and only let them follow after packing up the camp and exchanging supplies.
Gao Shun used the system map to check, these people were shown as yellow dots on the map, and only 1 woman was shown as a red dot, Gao Shun was very surprised, and hurriedly asked Li Qiang to bring her quietly, and asked unceremoniously: "Why are you so hostile to us?" Know that we saved you. ”
Seeing that the matter was revealed, the woman did not hide it, looked at Gao Shun and the others angrily and said: "You are all demons, it was you who killed my children, you are no different from the Huns, I can't wait to kill you all to avenge my son." He began to cry as he spoke, "Why didn't you come earlier?" Why didn't you come earlier? My poor children, they are not yet 10 years old, how are you going to do it? ”
Her cry not only made the hearts of the people inside the tent uncomfortable, but even the people outside the tent stopped their work and stood there quietly, listening to the women's heart-rending cries.
The tragic encounter, the same fate, many people wept gloomily.
Time also, life also!
The father who has already killed these children, who knows what will happen in the future if they keep them? Will they be enemies of the Han Chinese in revenge for their father? However, his map can see friend and foe, Gao Shun is not worried about this, so after thinking about it, he issued an order: "In the future, the children born to Han women under the age of 6 who are captured will continue to be cared for by the child's mother, and they will be Han in the future." ”
"Yes, General!" The crowd replied.
Li Qiang wanted to refute, but after seeing everyone's expressions, he still held back the words on his lips.
Because it was early spring, neither the Xiongnu Shan Yu nor King Zuo Xian organized large-scale military operations, and each time they were completely annihilated, and no news was leaked, so they did not attract the encirclement and suppression of the Xiongnu army.
During this period, every 10 days, Gao Shun would send a soldier home to report his mother's safety, while asking them to protect his mother and sister at home.
By the end of March, Gao Shun had exterminated more than 50 Xiongnu camps, and had gained more than 200,000 points, and the number of male synthetic places had also reached more than 2,000.
