241 Bloody Suppression

Just when the whole country of Qin entered the orbit of the overall war. An unexpected thing happened.

This stemmed from a mistake by the highly tense Meng Tian Ministry. Meng Tian ordered the transfer of 800,000 Xiongnu and Hu people to the interior. However, manpower was really insufficient, and in particular, several tentative behaviors of the Yueshi people caused the highly nervous Meng Tian Department to withdraw most of the troops escorting the prisoners of war.

These are called "prisoners of war". In fact, a large number of nomads are a family of young and old. Qin's "prisoner of war camps." "To become" a concentration camp in the truest sense of the word. "Winter has arrived, and the only clothing these prisoners of war have is not enough to keep them warm. Plus the amount of labor that is super physical. The food supply that was not enough to feed and clothe had been mercilessly abused by the soldiers of the Qin army. Especially those Yan and Zhao civilians who were once plundered by Zhao and Yan, and now have joined the Qin army, they treat these prisoners of war with extreme ferocity.

As a result, the population of more than 1 million has rapidly dropped to 800,000. And many of these 800,000 people have already been sentenced to death. Epidemic of wind chill disease. This has led to a spike in potential deaths.

And that's where the mistake happens. The prisoners of war who were originally repatriated in batches were transferred several times due to the transfer of military strength. As a result, several batches of prisoners of war quickly accumulated together. In order to complete the task, the Qin army was not subject to military law, and several batches of prisoners of war were organized together. Torture instruments are simply not enough, as long as they are tied with ropes. In this way, the number of prisoners of war escorted was as high as 100,000. The number of officers and soldiers escorted was only 5,000. These 5,000 people are still temporarily transferred, and they belong to different groups from each other.

Accidents always happen in errors.

And so a chaotic team hit the road. Months of abuse, combined with disease, have given these rebellious nomads the determination to rise up and fight back. And this mistake in the escort of the Qin army provided such an opportunity.

Outbreaks are often accidental. A Hu mother and son fell to the ground because of their young son's physical exhaustion. The Qin army escorted happened to be soldiers from the Zhao State who had abusive tendencies and hatred for these nomads.

Huren's mother knelt on the ground and pleaded to give her son who fell to the ground a sip of water. But the soldier lashed hard. Under the interpretation of a kind Hu people. The soldier finally understood, but what followed ignited the flames of anger. The soldier actually used his own urine to water. And have fun with it.

The fuse was lit. The long-standing nomads finally broke out, soon killing the soldier and brutally dismembering him, who made him act in a very insulting manner.

The commotion sparked **. The Qin army sent a ten-man squad to settle the incident. But he was soon killed and dismembered by the long-held prisoners of war. Realizing that something was wrong, the commanders of the Qin army began to form formations and prepare to suppress them. However, they were not familiar with each other, and the battle suddenly entered a battle that was unfavorable to the Qin army. Although the opponent is unarmed, they have an absolute advantage in numbers.

Lady Luck unexpectedly stood in the wrong place. Tu Sui went to reinforce Meng Tian's department, but unexpectedly ran into this battle. Tu Sui, who had a great temperament and had not been able to go into battle to kill the enemy for a long time, immediately threw himself into battle.

Entering the battle were musketeers, rows of black holes aimed at the unarmed prisoners of war.

"Put." A clarion call. Like lightning and thunder. Muskets fired in a row after row. The relentless bullets killed all the prisoners of war. Then the Qin army lined up in three lines and marched neatly. It was also followed by a large number of stragglers with bayonets on board. They stabbed to death all the wounded prisoners with three-edged bayonets.

Artillery also began to join the warbands. Five-inch caliber artillery. Started using shotshots for close-range killing. Countless projectiles, after being fired, the prisoners of war fell in pieces.

The loud sound of the cannon became the note of death. The lives of these suffering nomads are constantly being harvested.

"Give them a little color to see. With chain bullets, separate those damned Huns from me. Tu Sui ordered loudly. Qin soldiers had already blocked the main passes, and several cannons had been placed on the mountains or high ground as targets for targeted killings. The rest of the artillery was creatively put into the front line and directly bombarded the crowd.

The repression turned into a one-sided massacre. Realizing that the Huns and the Hu people were not good, they began to spontaneously attack the muskets and artillery positions, and this time they were able to resist on a large scale, which was completely an accident, and there was no core figure to lead at all, plus the Huns and the Hu people had contradictions. As a result, the forces formed to counterattack are very scattered, and many people are formed spontaneously.

"Go and get those damn four-legged cavalry commanders to me." Tu Sui shouted loudly. The new army adopted a new style of appellation. And Tu Sui has accepted such a title.

"Yes, sir." The herald agreed.

"Wait, tell them directly, separate the cavalry, hunt down those who scattered and escaped, and if one of them runs to Xianyang, we all have to take our heads and explain to the king. Just go. Tu Sui shouted loudly.

Everywhere there was artillery fire, everywhere there was gunfire. The Qin army slowly compressed the space for the prisoners of war in a linear-like formation that looked extremely thin. The constant firing made it so that a large number of prisoners of war died at gunpoint, under the muzzle. Everywhere the Qin army's formation went, there were corpses everywhere, and those corpses were beaten in all directions. This is the credit of the chain bomb. This was originally a naval weapon, but now it is used on land, and no one can withstand such an attack. Severed limbs, everywhere. The scene was extremely bloody.

Under the dense smoke, the Qin army slowly advanced. The prisoners of war resisted in vain, and then the Qin army could kill them with just a pull of the trigger. Or just pick him to death with a bayonet.

Tu Sui's musket regiment has abolished the military merit system and switched to the method of military pay plus bonuses, one company completes the task and plays the main role in the main direction, everyone will be rewarded, and a large amount of booty will go to themselves. These can ensure that the soldiers can stay in the team with peace of mind and complete the standard shooting action, if according to the past, in the face of so many heads, it is estimated that the Qin army itself will become chaotic.

The repression has become very boring. The soldiers of the Qin army only need to complete the loading, preparation, aiming, and shooting as they did in training. Then repeat the above steps. The Huns and Hu people gradually collapsed in this kind of thunderous sound, and many people took the initiative to give up resistance. Fall to your knees. Then the Qin army team walked over indifferently. The stragglers who came behind tied it up. Killing directly will only provoke a more fierce resistance. Although Tu Sui was rude, his mind was not as rude as he looked.
