Chapter 41: The Shaking of Dongyi (5)

The battle ended quickly, as expected, and there was not even a story to sing about. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Dongyi people were ambushed, and they were not the most capable group of soldiers in Dongyi, but a group of Dongyi civilians who were difficult to go afar.

There will be no accidents or any accidents, the only worry is only whether all the 3,000 people can be annihilated at the beginning, but with Ji Bai's impromptu response, this only worry has also come to naught.

As Chen Jian expected, when he blew the whistle and launched a full-scale attack, hundreds of people turned around and ran, but in the face of the spearmen who had already formed a formation, it turned into a one-sided slaughter.

Most of the rest threw down their weapons and tried to swim along the not wide river to the other side, and when they crawled to the opposite bank with all their lives, glad that the soldiers of the great river tribes could not swim and did not pursue, the rest of the city nobles who had been hidden in the bushes for a long time rushed out with dragon flags and completely defeated this group of Dongyi people who had no organization and scattered army.

By the time Chen Jian arrived at the battlefield that had calmed down, the river had turned red, dozens of corpses were soaked in the river, dead people everywhere, and Dongyi people lying on the ground had completely given up resistance.

The soldiers of Xia Cheng had dispersed to chase the fleeing captives, and the whole team of soldiers escorted groups of slaves, and the cry of "Ji Xia Wansheng" sounded on the battlefield again, including the relatives and nobles of the rest of the cities on the other side and the black-clothed army under their command.

In a painful battle, the relatives and noble children on the other side found that only a dozen people were wounded on their side, but they captured more than 600 Dongyi people and hacked more than 200 to death.

This was a big victory that they couldn't even think of in the past, a terrible and shocking battle loss ratio, and their shout of Ji Xia Wansheng was extremely natural.

A year ago, many of them were children, but a year later they could hold their heads high and tell their brothers and sisters in their cities that they had captured or killed many Dongyi and had their own slaves.

The wealth or glory of these slaves did not come from the inheritance of blood and the rewards of their parents, but from their own battlefields, at least this time it seemed easy.

The people of Xiacheng on the west bank of the river did not suffer many casualties, including Ji Bai and others who were the first to fight with the Dongyi people, adding up to a total of 23 dead and 70 wounded, beheading 400, and capturing 1,000 and fifteen.

This is the most comfortable battle that the veterans of Xia City have ever fought, from the conquest of the Meteorite Tribe to the Battle of Yangguan to the rescue of Xirong, every time they have won, but there has never been such a strange battle loss ratio.

And those spearmen who really entered the battlefield for the first time were even more rejoicing, this battle gave them great confidence, they didn't believe in all the things that the people of Xiacheng boasted before, but when they also became Xiacheng people, they hoped that those legends were true, and this battle made the legends come true in a few days.

The cheers of "Ji Xia Wansheng" echoed in the river, and the people on the other side escorted the captives to surround Chen Jian in the center, Chen Jian stepped on several corpses, stood high, and shouted in front of the excited clansmen after the great victory: "The soldiers of Xia City, the young people of the Great River tribes surrounded by the dragon banner!" It's a big win! ”

"The cheers are deserved, because we have wiped out three thousand people in Dongyi, and our own losses are less than a hundred. But just cheer for that? Not enough! We're going to cheer more than that! ”

"What does it mean to wipe out these 3,000 people?"

"It means that the Dongyi people will not dare to go out of the city to find us for a decisive battle with the strength of a city before they come back from the sky, which means that they will not dare to follow us unless they make up 10,000 people, and they will not even dare to have the idea of a decisive battle with us in the wilderness."

"You can make up 10,000 people...... Ha, they don't have a leader, they don't have a planning and statistics department, they don't have nine workshop divisions...... They won't be able to make it up until the dome returns. ”

"Therefore, this battle not only means that we behead 600 and capture 2,000, but also means that from now on, we can run rampant in the land of Dongyi, we can go to whichever city we want, eat where we want, and leave our legend where we want."

"If you run fast enough, I can even take you to see something, something called the sea, which is far wider than the river and wider than the great sea. Then you will know how big the world is and how many lands you can conquer. ”

"A few months ago, the Firmament burned the flames of war to the land of our ancestors, and now we have burned it back. If he captures one of our relatives, we will return it in double, destroying their fields and taking his relatives by the way. ”

"When we go back, there will be not only a large number of slaves and looted grain, but also tens of thousands of relatives who will greet you, and countless cheers and expectations."

"I love this phrase when the dome says to me, 'The victors hail the losers as slaves.' I love this phrase because we will be the victors, and they will become slaves for this saying."

"So, soldiers, cheer to your heart's content!"

He pointed to the dragon flag in the distance and said, "One day this flag is flying, the relatives will believe that we will no longer be humiliated and slaves of others!" ”

Looking at the noble children who went to the battlefield for the first time, Jian Chen smiled and said, "Children, when you go back, you will receive respect and praise from your parents. This is not to praise you for growing taller again, not to praise you for being obedient, but to praise you for doing the same great things as them, and you are no longer children in the eyes of your parents, but warriors who can go into battle to kill the enemy and capture their slaves, and become the pride of your parents. Even they believe that you will do the same great things as they do, and that you can lead your people to victory. ”

"When you go out with me, you may have a trepidation in your hearts, because it is against the orders of your parents."

"But when you return with hundreds of slaves of your own, hold the dragon banner high, and do not be apprehensive or uneasy, for the victor is not to blame! for you have done what the sons of the rivers should do. The great river tribes are in front, and the personal cities are behind, which is why I did not go to quell the rebellion in the summer city and came to the land of Dongyi, which is also the reason why you did not return to defend your cities when the dome was raging, but followed me on the expedition. ”

The children cheered for a while, and Chen Jian looked at the excited spearmen again, and smiled, "As for you, please take care of your slaves." These slaves belong to Xia Cheng, that is, yours. ”

"The exploits have not yet been counted, but they are predictable. Some of you will become knights or even higher knighthoods today. Some of you had doubts about the right way to stay in Yucheng, but today you tell yourselves out loud that your choice is not wrong, because your life will be better than leaving Yucheng and building a city on your own. ”

"I hope that from today onwards, the old Xia Cheng people and the new Xia Cheng people, put aside all their previous grudges and grievances, and stand around the leader, because the people you elected as the leader will swear that you will live a better life."

"For Xia Cheng, but also for yourself!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Raising his sword and pointing at the sky, he shouted loudly and ignited the joy of victory for everyone who could be suppressed just now, and after the growth of the previous moment, it turned into a roar that shook the sky at this moment.

"Wan Sheng!"

The cheers of victory kept echoing, and a battle could dispel all doubts and make everyone more confident about this expedition.

After cheering, Jian Chen praised Xia Cheng's black-clothed guard and Ji Bai again. This praise has been recognized by everyone, if it weren't for Ji Bai and others who responded to the situation, although they would still have won a big victory, it would have been impossible to win so brilliantly.

Chen Jian used the right to propose in the name of the leader, and all the black-clothed guards in Xiacheng who participated in the battle were promoted to one level under the premise of not counting meritorious deeds, and Ji Bai was promoted two levels in a row to become one of the few sixth-class lords in Xiacheng, and all black-clothed guards received a bronze badge, as a symbol of glory, they could also insert a bright pheasant feather on their scarves.

The leader's proposal does not need much recognition, only more than two-thirds of the people oppose it cannot be implemented, and there will be no opposition at all under a big victory, Chen Jian just went through a passing scene to make people familiar with this rule.

The material reward is rich, and the spiritual reward is very meager if measured only in material terms, a piece of bronze and a pheasant feather, but it is extremely important for some people.

The soldiers who did not get it looked forward to the day when they would have such glory, and when they were dying of old age, they looked at their grandchildren playing on their laps, and there were always stories to brag about memories.

The captured Dongyi people could not understand what these enemies were saying, but they knew that they must be celebrating victory. As the losing side, they only have worries about their future fate in their hearts.

After clearing the battlefield, boosting morale, and preaching victory, it was almost dark.

The soldiers, who had been hiding in the col for several days, finally lit bonfires with confidence and boldness, sang and danced, drank the wine rationed in the gourds on the battlefield where the smell of blood had not yet dissipated, wiped the blood stains on their swords, and polished the marks on their swords, and were full of pride.

Chen Jian made a round and asked someone to bring a few young Dongyi people who had been captured, and found someone who knew the Dongyi language as an interpreter.

"Do you know where we come from?"

The Dongyi captive nodded and replied, "The upper reaches of the Great River." ”

"Yes."

Jian Chen asked someone to take a black and white flag and handed it to the young Dongyi Daodao: "Remember this flag, we are from Xiacheng." Qiongxi recognized this flag, and he didn't dare to fight me, so he scared away. But you do not recognize it, so give it to you, and bring it back to your ruler in the city. ”

The young Dongyi people scolded angrily a few times, the people who knew Dongyi were a little embarrassed, although Chen Jian didn't understand it very well, he also guessed what the other party was scolding, and now what he just said was very insulting to the young leader in the eyes of the young Dongyi people.

"I'll let you go back, and you can tell your leaders about the battle here. Ten days ago, Qiongxi told me that the winner cheered the loser as slaves, and told your leader to tell Qiongxi by the way, and I would abide by the rules he set. ”

"You should know the way back, so let's go."

The young man looked at the nobles of the city who were tied up in the distance and asked, "Won't you let them go?" ”

"Of course not. Let you go, for your weapon is stone, not even brass, and only a small old deerskin on your body. So your family won't have much food to ransom you back. But those people can get a lot of good things. It's the same person, but it's too far away, and you may not even be able to get a pig back. ”

The young Dongyi boy pondered these words in confusion until the ropes on his body were untied, and he woke up like a dream, and ran in the direction of the city with a dozen released clansmen.

Ji Bai, who was following him, asked suspiciously, "Ji Xia, do you want them to redeem these people with corn goods?" ”

Chen Jian laughed and said, "Of course not, everything is ours after the city is conquered." Redeem our own loot with our own things? I'm not stupid. ”

"The order will go down, and the army will rest for a day, and continue to march early the day after tomorrow."
