Chapter 66: The Battle of the Hundred Yue (4)
Ying Xu sat on a railing on the observation deck and looked at the messy scene in front of him, the wall, the steep slope, and the barren beach were full of corpses, broken arms and wriggling bodies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the wall, the Qin army cut off the heads of the dead Yue people and pushed their corpses down, so the dark corpses of the Yue people were piled up at the bottom of the steep slope, and the bright red human blood stained the grass on the steep slope extremely brightly.
On the barren beach, the Qin army was like a harvester, taking off the heads of the dead Yue people, mending the swords to the wailing Yue people, and looking around, I saw the headless corpses behind the Qin army standing in rows and rows.
Ying Xu insisted on beating the drum after the fight, in fact, he was already tired of being a dead dog, and at this time he barely straddled the lookout and commanded Han Sui and the others to treat the wounded, but he saw that the other Qin troops at this moment were like rich people on the battlefield, staring at the heads of the Yue people, completely oblivious to the vigilance and treatment of the injured comrades. Ying Xu didn't know what Bai Lin, who was standing behind him, was thinking at the moment, but he couldn't suppress the disgust in his heart for a long time. At the same time, he also understood in his heart that the reason why the Great Qin Tiger and Wolf Army was able to conquer the Six Kingdoms was because of such a military merit reward system. This system has its imperfections but also its commendable places, and now he is only one of the twenty or so children of Qin Shi Huang, and it is difficult to say whether he can protect himself in the future, and it is even more difficult to change and amend the military discipline of the Qin army.
Ying Xu sighed and whispered:
"You don't see, on the south bank, there is no one to collect the dead bodies and limbs,
You don't see it, Baiyue land, bleeding into the sea of sounds.
Success or failure turns empty,
Or can realize the dream of kings, sad, sad, sad! ”
Bai Lin heard Yingxu's low chant on the side, sighed, and flew off the lookout and walked towards the sea. Ying Xu also had no intention of watching Qin Jun cut off people's heads. Walked down the lookout and said to Zhang Han, Han Sui, Zhang Feng, and Hei Han who rushed to return to life:
"Although the Yue people retreated, we can't take it lightly, Zhang Han, you lead people to guard the dense forest, and you can't let the Yue people kill back the horse gun. Han Sui sent a team of people to inform Zhang Hu and told them to be careful of the Yue attack! ”
After Zhang Han received the order, he hurriedly led people to the northwest corner, and Yingxu said to the remaining Qin generals:
"The head of the beheading, I will discuss with Captain Zhang Han and others in the evening and distribute it fairly, don't worry for the time being, now your priority is to treat the wounded and sick, and sort out the bones of the dead soldiers. And ............"
Under Ying Xu's instructions, Zhang Han took the earthen bag not far from the dense forest as a base, arranged a simple defense of about 200 people, installed five giant crossbows that had just been unloaded from the building ship on the earthen bag, and built a simple wall about 100 meters long with wooden stakes, branches, sand and gravel on both sides of the earthen bag, so that the Yue people who might advance from the dense forest carried out an effective defense, so that the Yue people could not attack the Qin army from the dense forest at will. At the same time, as long as the Qin army held on to this stronghold, it was completely impossible for the Yue brigade that had sneaked from the dense forest to deploy. No matter how many people can't spread, the Qin army will be able to consume them little by little.
Han Sui and the others also carried the wounded and sick into the camp one by one according to Ying Xu's request, and the dead Qin soldiers were also carried to the open ground one by one.
There is no winner in the war, Ying Xu knows this truth very well, but after a simple statistics, the result still makes Ying Xu regret, although this battle harvested more than 600 heads, captured more than 40 Yue, but the Qin army killed 37 people, seriously injured 50 people, and slightly injured more than 100 people.
Just as Yingxu was arranging for the former captives of Zhuji to pile up all the Yue corpses together, a large group of people and horses rushed from the dirt road directly north of the quarry rock, and it was Zhang Hu and a Yue woman in black armor who were riding horses in the front.
After Zhang Hu and the Yue woman gave Ying Xu a salute, Zhang Hu pointed to the pile of Yue corpses and scolded:
"Raised by a son of a bitch, these Yue people mongrels can actually cheat and let Lao Tzu run away in vain?"
From the sudden attack of the Yue people on the pearl carving, Yingxu guessed that the Yue people might have used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to transfer Zhang Hu and the Yue people who took refuge in the Qin army out of the pearl carving, and then heard Zhang Hu's words, but in his heart he secretly thought that the Yue people were not simple, and the old guy under the snake pattern flag was not a simple character.
In the battle just now, although Yingxu was far away from the old guy, he still vaguely saw an old man in linen standing under the serpentine battle flag, the old man was short and hunchbacked. If he hadn't happened to come by boat today, maybe the pearl would have been beaten down by the Yue people, although the Qin army could still hide back in the future, but after such a delay back and forth, I don't know how long it would be delayed by the Yue people. At the same time, Wang Xin's more than 10,000 Qin troops will definitely be cut off from the back road and cut off the supply of grain and grass, and the consequences will be unimaginable. It seems that the battle of Baiyue cannot be rushed, most of the Qin generals do not understand the terrain of Baiyue, and it is easy to suffer big losses.
When the army returned, everyone in the pearl tribe breathed a sigh of relief, and Han Sui was also very happy to see Zhang Hu come back safely, and ran to greet Zhang Hu and the Yue women.
"General Zihui? Able to understand Huaxia language! Ying Xu saw that Han Sui was talking directly to the Yue woman, and the Yue woman also nodded in response to Han Sui from time to time, so she asked curiously.
"Son, forgive me, my clan was originally a side branch of the Yue royal family, after the Yue King was defeated and killed in the attack on Chu, the Yue country fell apart, and our clan was forced to migrate here, and it has survived to this day." The Yue Ren woman said on her knees.
Yue Guo, the overlord of the late Spring and Autumn Period, wanted to be the king of Yue Gou Jian, what a person, lying on the salary and tasting courage, ten years of sharpening a sword, and finally destroying Wu Cheng overlord, but his descendants after the death and death of the monarch, can not be sincerely united, but selfish, and eventually led to such a big country being divided into small lands by strong enemies by the descendants of the descendants, no country, no people, only tribes, it can be seen that once the country established by an ethnic group is divided, only the destruction of this ethnic group is waiting for this ethnic group to be assimilated.
"Hurry up, we are originally the same race, but the mountains and rivers have been separated for a long time, and the world is impermanent and difficult, so we are negligent, don't blame the girl!"
The Yue Kingdom was a vassal state established by the Huaxia people in the southeast during the Xia Dynasty. The ancestor is the concubine of the Xia Dynasty monarch Shaokang, a direct descendant of Dayu, Yingxu said.
Looking at Zihui Yingxu again, I feel that from the perspective of appearance alone, Zihui is indeed a little different from Yue Ren. Suddenly, Yingxu realized that many of the hundreds of Yue tribes must have migrated here in ancient times, but due to the special reasons of the environment, they were far away from the Central Plains, and there was less communication, which led to the lack of language and the difference in customs. But if you listen carefully to the voice of the Yue captives, in fact, the difference between them and the Central Plains is not very big. If there are tribes from the Huaxia people who have migrated from the Baiyue tribes, then what some of their tribes say is not: "Guyin". ......Then, when Ying Xu thought that he might crack the ancient language "oracle bone inscription", he couldn't help but be happy, felt that Zihui was getting closer, and talked more, and began to ask questions and chat with Zihui. It's really a foreign country, although it's a bit far-fetched.
After Zihui and Zhang Hu returned, the battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and the bodies of the Yue people would be cremated at Ying Xu's insistence, when Ying Xu ordered to pile up hay and dead branches next to the dead Qin soldiers. Zhang Han, Zhang Hu, Han Sui and several others all ran to Ying Xu and knelt on the ground to beg Ying Xu for mercy.
Ying Xu took a long time to talk about the climatic characteristics of the southern region and the disadvantages of not being cremated, but he saw that the kneeling person knocked his head louder and louder. Finally, he said helplessly:
"Whoever hears you, bury it on the spot, but erect a monument to mark the name, and let their descendants know where their father is buried!"
"Childe's great grace!" Zhang Han, Zhang Hu and others shouted.
Yue Nuhui, who was standing on the side, looked at Ying Xu's cold and sincere face, and then listened to him talk about the disadvantages and benefits of cremation, thinking that if the sons of the Qin people were so knowledgeable and intellectual, how could their father's hopes be realized, but how did he know that there were only eighteen sons in the Qin State so far, and there was only one monster like Ying Xu in the entire Qin State.
