Chapter 202: Only Fight to the Death
"What about the wounded soldiers outside the barracks? Do you want to capture them? A longbow soldier asked Han Jiading.
"No!" Han Jiading squinted his eyes and said, "Let the soldiers aim at their hands and feet to shoot!" Don't shoot them! ”
"This ......" The longbow corps couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, with a look of shock on their faces, and said in embarrassment: "General, this is not good!" The Lord has always advocated not killing prisoners! ”
"I'm not going to kill them either!" Han Jiading said disapprehantly, as if he didn't know the cruelty of his order. "And this is war, you shouldn't have such a mentality, carry out the order! Team up! ”
"No!" Although the team is a little dissatisfied in his heart, one of the seven slashes in the military regulations is to behead those who disobey orders. The team didn't want to be killed because of the enemy.
Although the longbowmen who received the order were also as shocked as the team had at the beginning, the military order was like a mountain. According to what Han Jiading said, they all aimed at the hands and feet of the wounded soldiers of the Sanyi tribe who were too late to take away because of the retreat just now.
There was a wail on the battlefield, and they would not die soon from such injuries, but would slowly bleed up and die, which was undoubtedly one of the cruelest punishments in the world. Everyone in the Sanyi tribe outside the battlefield showed a look of indignation, but there was a trace of fear in this indignation. They thought that if they were also injured and could not read and quit the battlefield or have the help of their comrades, they would probably end up like this.
In the Spring and Autumn period, there were no medical soldiers on the battlefield, so after being wounded, they either relied on themselves or their comrades. But it is a very dangerous time to retreat with a wounded soldier. It's natural to bring wounded soldiers and you'll slow down, and if the archers on the walls don't shoot, who do you shoot? Most likely, the two of them won't be able to walk either. So the non-relationship is very good, and no one will retreat with the wounded soldiers casually.
In this way, the soldiers of the Sanyi tribe were already worried before they fought, and then Cao Di in the era of Qi Huan Gong knew that "husband fights, courage also!" One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. ”
Since the beginning of the war, the Sanyi tribe has launched two aggressive attacks, and no matter how brave the Sanyi tribe is, the morale at this time has long been almost exhausted.
Even though the commander of the Sanyi tribe was much smarter this time, he waited until the number of the army reached more than 2,400 before he launched an attack. It's a pity that the soldiers who just arrived have already learned about the battle ahead from the mouths of the surviving soldiers who have survived before. In addition, the wounded soldiers left on the battlefield are still wailing, which greatly affects morale.
This third attack was not even as good as the second, and before it could cross the slope, it had already abandoned the siege ladder and ram and fled back, losing almost a hundred men in vain. The commander of the Sanyi tribe was so angry that he jumped and jumped, but when he saw his dejected subordinates, he felt helpless, and he was really angry and saddened by his misfortune.
At this time, Yang Zilu also prepared rafts for crossing the river, and the first batch of rafts made was full of fifty! And they are all large rafts, not the kind that Han Jiading used before, which can only carry four or five people.
Under Yang Zilu's order, 50 rafts immediately set off and crossed the Oujiang River with more than 300 Han soldiers standing on the rafts. Not to be outdone, the three small warships immediately rushed out of the reeds, but Yang Zilu, who had suffered a loss, could fall twice in the same place?
More than half of the soldiers on the raft were crossbowmen, and before the enemy could rush over, the bowstring immediately thundered, shooting the Sanyi sailors on the small warship, and they turned around and ran wildly without firing a single arrow. Didn't dare to use a warship to come to hit the raft.
At this time, the commander of the Sanyi tribe also knew that the landing of the Han army on the south bank was already an unstoppable thing. I had no choice but to lead the soldiers and horses to retreat five miles, but the distance left by the Sanyi tribe was very delicate. There was room for the Han army to land, but this space was not large.
If the Han army was too numerous and there was no time to line up, the soldiers of the Sanyi tribe would have already launched an attack, and there would be no time to arrange the troops at all. At this time, even the Han army, which was more elite than the Sanyi tribe, was likely to be driven into the Oujiang River by the Sanyi tribe, causing the water of the Oujiang River to be red for several days, and also providing sufficient food for the fish of the Oujiang River. And even if Yang Zilu wins, I'm afraid this is a disastrous victory of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800, and no commander would want the victory in hand to be a miserable victory.
Seeing this, Yang Zilu frowned and thought. Soon Yang Zilu came up with a way, after all, the other party's strategy was not very clever. The solution is to find a new landing port, landing in multiple places, so that the Sanyi clan will not be able to defend at all. Especially now the Sanyi tribe is still at a disadvantage, as Yang Zilu expected, in order to catch the autumn harvest and keep the luck to delay a day and a half to prepare for the Sanyi tribe is a lot, this time the Sanyi tribe has only more than 4,000 soldiers and horses.
In this way, the strategy of the commander of the Sanyi tribe was also solved, but the problem was that another ferry suitable for the army to cross the river on a large scale was seventeen miles away. Crossing the river there and then the soldiers coming to the battlefield, to say the least, it will take three hours, and this is already half a day! And at that time, the soldiers and horses of the Sanyi tribe may not be 4,000 people, or even 6,000 people.
As long as the Sanyi clan supports it for another three hours, it will be night. After the second day, I am afraid that the Han army will definitely fall into a disadvantage in numbers, and it will be even more difficult to get victory, so although the strategy of the commander of the Sanyi tribe is not clever in tactics, it is very clever in strategy.
"It seems that there are many capable people in the Sanyi clan!" Yang Zilu's brows tightened even more, although he saw through the other party's intentions, this game was really difficult to crack.
After half a ring, Yang Zilu gritted her teeth, depending on the situation, she had to take risks. Yang Zilu instructed the three brigade commanders of Black Bear, Yang Tugou, and Yu Miao: "You immediately go to each of your subordinates and select two hundred warrior soldiers!" Give them the best gear you can get! Be fast! ”
"No!" At this time, the usually more unruly black bear also responded solemnly.
Soon 600 soldiers were selected, together with Yang Zilu's personal soldiers, a total of 700 people. Together with Yang Zilu, they crossed the Oujiang River in two batches. When these 700 people squeezed into Han Jiading's temporary camp, the people were already densely packed, and they could no longer squeeze even one person. Some of the soldiers were even able to stand on shallow river beaches.
"Scuttle!" Yang Zilu looked at the raft floating by the river and said expressionlessly.
The nearby soldiers and Han Jiading and other generals who had just come over to salute Yang Zilu were also stunned, but Yang Zilu's personal soldiers were stunned and immediately followed Yang Zilu's order and took out their weapons to cut the rope that bound the raft. The stakes immediately scattered under the impact of the water. Under the tip of the sword of a hundred soldiers, sixty large rafts were completely destroyed.
Everyone only reacted at this time, and they didn't know what Yang Zilu meant by doing this.
"Are you afraid? No one is afraid! With all of you here! Is this how you reply to the support of the widows? The widow told you to wait! If you don't win this battle, you will die! Only fight to the death! Are you afraid? Yang Zilu roared angrily.
The army twitched for a while, but soon everyone was stirred into the blood surname in their hearts. Someone raised his weapon and shouted, "Fight to the death!" Kill the three barbarians! ……”
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Death Battle!! The slowly chaotic voices converged into a neat roar, and the Han soldiers only felt that their blood was not flowing, but burning.
"Good! This is the iron army of the Great Han! All in the camp! Knock down the wooden wall and attack! Yang Zilu said in high spirits.
"No!" Soon the soldiers were arrayed, with spearmen and long-brother soldiers on the outside and crossbowmen on the inside. Accompanied by "Coax! With the sound of the wooden wall collapsing, the Han army immediately roared and rushed out of the camp.
Although the commander of the Sanyi tribe on the opposite side didn't know what was going on, when he saw that the other party was only more than 1,300 people, he actually dared to attack him, and he did not hesitate to order the Sanyi army to also charge.
"Kill !!" A murderous roar sounded in the sky, and the Han army and the Sanyi coalition army were like two torrents colliding together, but instead of waves, blood flowers were splashed.
Yang Zilu rode on horseback, did not charge ahead, but held an iron megaphone and loudly encouraged the soldiers. "Behind it is the Oujiang River! Where do you still want to retreat? We're out of food anymore! But there is one in the camp of the Sanyi tribe! What are you waiting for? What are you still afraid of? Retreat is death, and only death can get life! ”
Everywhere Yang Zilu went, the morale of the Han soldiers was greatly shaken, the archers seemed to be tired robots, the arrows were shot out like a torrential rain, and the spearmen and Changge soldiers seemed to be unconscious, constantly charging. The spear or long brother is broken, draw the short sword! The sword is broken, and there is still a hand! Broken hands, and teeth!
The madness of the Han army caused a great chaos among the Sanyi people, and the coalition army was the coalition army, and some tribes saw that the situation was not right, and immediately retreated. But it doesn't matter if you retreat, others will retreat too. As a result, the illusion of the retreat of the Sanyi coalition army was originally as long as the pace of retreat was steady, and this phenomenon would be an illusion, not a reality.
But the coalition is not unified, and the binding force is not large, and if someone does retreat, there is really no way for the other tribes to punish him. In this way, some people retreated only briefly, but some tribes took the opportunity to retreat. As a result, the Sanyi coalition collapsed suddenly.
Yang Zilu was overjoyed when he saw this, waved the iron sword in his hand, and roared: "Kill!" ”
"Kill !!" The morale of the Han army soared, and everyone roared excitedly and ran wildly, knocking a Sanyi soldier who had no time to escape to the ground. Blood-red blood stained the earth bright red, and totemic flags symbolizing the respective tribes of the Sanyi tribe were captured. This is the highest honor of a commander, the battle of the ancient tribes, and the victorious side will add a part of the other tribe's totem to its banner to show the winner. It is said that the Chinese dragon totem also came from this way.
This practice is no longer in vogue, but it is also a great honor to capture the totemic flag that symbolizes the other party's faith.
