Chapter 0426 Snow White Blood Red

Jia Lian was not in a hurry to attack now, he was waiting for the enemy to surrender.

According to Jia Min's point of view, fighting a war is of course to destroy the enemy. However, it does not have to be all physically destroyed. Just destroy the enemy's force.

The main objective of this battle was to recover South Ventura. If some people are not killed, the Sidwa people will naturally not give up South Windura.

However, if the nearly 20,000 Sidwa people were killed, it would not be a good thing for Bukui.

The Sidewah here, almost all of their tribe's strongest, if all die here, their power in North Windula will be greatly weakened.

Naturally, the Wattle and Vali Valley tribes would take advantage of the situation and annex the Sydwa tribe.

In this way, on the grasslands of North Windura, there will be a situation in which their two families dominate. This is very detrimental to the pacification of North Ventura in the future.

Therefore, not killing them all, leaving some people behind, and letting them return to North Ventura in the future, is the most beneficial outcome for Bukui.

Of course, those who surrender want to go back, and they also need to pay a corresponding price. It was essential to pay tribute and ransom for the captives.

However, this time, Jia Min's plan is not to collect money in the name of tribute.

Since it is a tribute, it belongs to the imperial court, and it will be handed over to the imperial court in the future. Even if you want to stay, you have to agree with the imperial court.

This time, he planned to ask for the money under another name, and in the future, he would keep the money for himself and not hand it over to the imperial court.

In the future, when North Ventura is pacified, he is also ready to take this approach.

It's good to take back the territory for you, but it's still up to Chang'an's face. As for the money, hehe, the emperor Lao'er, it's free.

If I don't get back some of the money I get for the equipment and the soldiers I train, won't I be a fool?

Of course, Jia Lian's long-term plan, Jia Lian doesn't know. It's not just Jia Lian, but others don't know either. At present, this is still Jia Min's own secret.

He can't tell this secret to anyone now, because he's afraid that others will be frightened by his ideas.

The government corps is fighting unhurriedly, and for Batu, every moment is torment.

Several more charges were organized, but they all returned in vain.

Now, as long as the Bukui attack, he will be wiped out here. However, the opponent still did not rush to attack, and even the offensive weakened.

However, as long as he wants to escape, the other party will fight resolutely. Batu's feeling now is that the other party is teasing him, treating himself as a plaything.

Now, his own men, plus Meng Ge's men, together with nearly eight hundred.

Although there seemed to be a lot of people, these people had no horses, no decent arrows, and even if they dragged on, there was no hope of victory. The only result is to be slowly killed by the other party one by one.

Looking at his men huddled together in fear, remembering that the parents, wives and children of these people were waiting for them to return, Batu not only sighed.

Surrender, leave a way for these children.

Surrender is simple, it's just a matter of a few words. Reorganize the captives and gather them together. Just waiting for the containment team in the rear to pick it up. Then they were sent to Erdaojiang, and then from Erdaojiang to Bukui for detention.

The soldiers of the government corps began to go to the grassland to collect the war horses that had run out.

The Tatars are now of little value. The more valuable yurt has all been burned down, leaving the war horse as the most valuable thing.

These war horses are all high-quality horses, and the government corps naturally can't let them go.

The battle of Qingshichuan, which began at half past three and ended at half past six, lasted three hours, killing more than 1,200 Tatars, many of whom were burned to death.

On the side of the Fu Corps, at a small cost of 23 killed, 18 seriously wounded, and 16 lightly wounded, they won a complete victory.

Until now, Niu Jizong has not come back to his senses.

That's it? Is this a victory? These surrendered, dejected Tatars, the same ones who beat our 150,000-strong army like dogs in the first place?

How is this possible? It's only been a few months, it's been less than a year, how can it change so much?

How could the Tatars, who were so powerful and invincible at the beginning, be so vulnerable when they came to the hands of the government corps?

Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, and Qin Zhong were not as good as me at the beginning. When Jia Qiao saw me, he had to nod his head. After being sentenced to exile, he was a prisoner, and now he is so majestic.

How did all this happen? Is it all because of Jia Min?

It snowed heavily for a day and a night, and finally stopped. The sky cleared, and the sun rose from the east of the steppe.

Billions of rays of sunlight shine on the vast snowfield, reflecting a dazzling light.

A group of officers followed Jia Lian and approached the original camp of the Tatars.

Here, only ruins remain.

The snow around the camp was blackened by the dust that fell. However, the area is not large, and a little further outside, there is a thick layer of snow.

On the snow, there are messy footprints and horseshoe prints. Next to the footprints, you can often see the snow dyed red.

The snow is white, the blood is red, and the snow is white and the blood is red.

The captives were under the custody of the government corps, silently picking up the bodies of their companions. More soldiers from the prefectural corps were talking and laughing lightly.

A cauldron has been set up over there, and cooking has begun, and it won't be long before a hot meal is served.

A long line came from the east, and it was the follow-up unit of the Provincial Corps.

Jia Lian led the officers and greeted them. He wanted Chief Min to report on the results of the Battle of Qingseishi.

The victory in the Battle of Qingshichuan opened the prelude to the recovery of the South Wendura grassland, the first line of defense of the Sidewa people was breached, and the gate to the South Wendula grassland was opened.

At seven o'clock in the morning, according to the scheduled time, Jia Min led the main force of the government corps to arrive at Qingshichuan and join Jia Lian's regiment.

At this time, there is no need to act covertly, so bury the pot and cook.

Wei Ruoshui's direct detachment of 200 people, after the battle of Qingshichuan, set off in advance to clear the patrols and checkpoints along the way.

The regiments sent horse-drawn planks and began to clear the snow from the road, opening the way for the army that would march in a moment.

The containment team accepted the prisoners and escorted them to the rear.

Two hours later, the entire army set off.

Feng Zijing's second regiment went to Xiaobeihe and attacked the two thousand-man troops there.

The third regiment of Chen Yeqing went to Hongshi Lizi and attacked the two thousand troops there.

The fourth regiment of Zhao Dahai went straight to Baoyinqiu and attacked a thousand-man team and three hundred-man teams there.

Jia Min and Princess Chang'an followed Jia Lian's group and went straight to Horseshoe Mountain. Once there, pin down Simay's 5,000-strong troops, wait for the rest of the troops to arrive, and carry out the final encirclement.

Slyu, on the other hand, led a battalion to the North Peak Pass, where he intercepted the Sydwans who were trying to flee back to North Windura.

General He led Wang Ziteng's soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, and took the south side of the road, secretly marched to Sanyanjing, and surrounded and annihilated the four Sidwa thousand troops there.

This time, Jia Min led the government corps to enter the road, which is the main road from Bukui to South Windura.

One hundred and ten miles south of this main road, almost parallel to this main road, there is also a road.

In the past, Bukui carried out strategic material control in South Vendura from time to time, which triggered the underground economy that lasted for many years, that is, the smuggling of various strategic materials.

Most of these smuggled materials take the southern road. Therefore, the people on the grassland habitually call this road the Nanshang Road.

More than just smuggling goods, it is also a major thoroughfare for nomadic herders in the southern Undoura grasslands.

In fact, the original function of this road was to be a nomadic migration road, as a smuggling route, but in fact, it was a later thing.

At this time, the Beijing camp team led by General He Shen was on this southern trade road.

Beginning at six o'clock last night, they set out from Erdaojiang, and after a day and a night of marching, they now arrived at a place called the Great Willow Tree.

This place is named because there is a large willow tree that is said to be 800 years old.

It is still one hundred and twenty miles from the three-eyed well, and the estimated march time is six hours.

After a day and night of marching, General Ho verified many of the things he had learned in Bukui.

Two of the most obvious are the ones.

One is the calculation and application of time. The other piece is a map.

As a general, General He has had a pocket watch for a long time.

It was given to him by her sister.

In the early years, the Wang family was an official in charge of overseas trade, and there were many things from the West at home, and pocket watches were one of them.

Although there is a pocket watch, many times, it is just a plaything, and it is still used in daily timekeeping.

It was only after Bu Kui was trained that his team began to time in Western time.

The route and process of the march were all designed by Jia Qin, an assistant to Feng's chief of staff.

How fast the march will be, when it will reach where, is planned in advance.

At the beginning, General He was still skeptical, could it be so accurate, could there be some accidents on the road?

When he walked down, he found that this itinerary was too accurate.

All the way down, it's almost like pinching a little bit.

This could not but shock him.

He had never seen this kind of planning before.

Another eye-opener for him was the map.

Maps, he had seen and used before.

However, the previous maps were all rough outlines. In many cases, it is far from the truth. Some even go the other way around.

However, the map Jia Qin gave him was completely different.

Not only are the distances, roads, rivers, landmarks, etc. very clear, but also exceptionally accurate. Even how high a mound is is marked.

As for those small forks in the road or something, there is not a single omission.

Needless to say, it takes a lot of effort to draw such a map.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the team set off.

After a five-hour march, they will arrive at a distance of twenty miles from the Three Eyes Well at one o'clock in the second half of the night, and after rest and preparation, they will launch an attack on the four Tatar thousand-men of the Three Eyes Well at three o'clock tomorrow morning.

Looking at his orderly team, General He couldn't help muttering to himself.

This team, which is very different from before, can fight.
