Chapter 292: It's hard to help yourself

After a short battle, there were no more living steppe knights left on the banks of Snow Creek. From the official launch of the attack to the killing of these Turkic cavalry, it took a while.

Wuhai guarded Luo Jin and a group of veterans who looked at the scene in front of them and were extremely shocked. Thousands of fierce Turkic cavalry, all gone?

Li Hui and the others killed all the Turks on the edge of the Snow Stream, and the old and weak Turkic women and children watching from a distance wept together. Luo Jin led the veterans to rush forward, looking at the corpses of the Turks all over the ground, his expression was extremely complicated.

This is not combat at all, this is total slaughter! This regiment of cavalry was armed with such sharp weapons, no wonder it dared to say that it was unscathed.

Before he came into contact with the enemy, most of the people around him fell down with a brush, who could still fight such a battle? Even if it is the elite who has survived a hundred battles, the psychology will collapse at this time!

"Brother, no wonder you dare to boast about Haikou, it turns out that this is how you killed people! Such a good thing, I don't know when I can have one! Luo Jin looked at the Yuanrong crossbow carried by Li Hui's subordinates, and said with envy.

Li Hui laughed, and with a wave of his hand, a group of cavalry divided into more than a dozen squads, rode their horses and rushed to the tent area in front, rushing towards the Turks who were crying bitterly.

The huge Mo knife didn't even need to be wielded, it just stretched out diagonally to the side of the horse, relying on the huge speed of the war horse's charge, and the blade several feet long split the person it touched in half.

"Brother, why is that? These are but old and weak, why kill them? Luo Jin frowned and asked.

Li Hui saw that the veterans all looked strange, obviously unable to accept this, so he didn't care and smiled: "Brother Luo, the military order of our general is clear, it is for me to slaughter this tribe." What is slaughter? Naturally, the grass has been cut and eradicated! If there is a barbarian alive, then it will not be counted as my completion of the mission, and my brother will lose his head. ”

The veterans' faces showed unbearable expressions, Luo Jin pointed to the already chaotic tent area in front of him, and sighed: "Slaughtering women and children, is it what the king should do?" It's just old and weak. Killing them is not a hero. ”

Li Hui smiled: "Brother Luo, if you have been with the general for a long time, you will get used to these things." When the Great Expedition was eaten, my brother did this for the first time. I can't stand it in my heart. But later I found out that the general was right, all barbarians are cheap bones, and if you kill too much, you will be cowardly. Everyone followed the general to kill people until Kufa, and didn't those big cannibals all bow their heads obediently in the end? It is better to teach people to be afraid, and not to teach people to bully! Remember this sentence. These things are not called troubles. ”

Luo Jin nodded silently, looking at the tents that were burning on the top, crying and fleeing the Turkic old and weak, after all, he couldn't bear it, so he turned his head and didn't look.

"In the eyes of the general, the lives of our Tang people are the most precious. If a barbarian kills a Tang man, he should bear the price of extermination. Look at it, after this news spreads, your life will be much more leisurely, and it is estimated that Wuhai will not be able to see the Turks for a long time. Li Hui finished with a smile. Urging the horses to rush into the depths of the valley.

……

After all, it was just a small tribe, although the valley was large, there was no other exit, and soon the Turks had been cleaned up by Li Hui and them.

A group of knights rode back, carefully retrieved most of the steel arrows, and re-placed them in the Yuanrong crossbow, and then rushed to Luo Jin and his party, and gathered together.

When the army arrived at the mouth of the valley, Luo Jin glanced back and shook his head helplessly. The veterans also looked solemn, and they were not always hostile to the Turks. In many cases, they coexisted peacefully with the Turks, and the two sides would barter for something. This revenge is so thorough, it is really something that I didn't expect.

The army of the Tang Dynasty is the king's division, and the king's division should have the appearance of a king's division. Now such behavior. But it is even more brutal than the Turkic barbarians.

Pao Ze's death, they also want to take revenge, but they never thought of exterminating this tribe seriously. Even in the battles between Turkic tribes, the victors rarely exterminated all the losers.

Li Hui's subordinates followed Ma Lan on an expedition to Kufa, and he didn't care about such a thing for a long time. Seeing the veterans like this, Li Hui smiled and didn't say much.

Rather teach people to be afraid. Don't teach people to bully, this sentence is easy to say, but it is not easy to do. As the general once said, when you are in an enemy country, for the benefit of the entire Han nation, you have to turn yourself into a beast. Only if you are more fierce and ruthless than the barbarians, can the barbarians really be afraid of you.

For a long time, the Han people were too good-hearted and docile, so hundreds of thousands of grassland barbarians could become a big problem for millions or even tens of millions of Han people. In the eyes of the steppe barbarians, they are vicious wolves that eat meat, and the Han people in the border counties are docile sheep. And now, what the general has to do is to make the barbarians understand that the Han people are not sheep, but tigers, or herds of tigers. The result of provoking the Han people is death.

This time, because of the matter in Pu County, he directly went to the most powerful Hui tribe on the grassland to open the knife, which was also for Liwei. Through this battle, the Han people in the border counties will live a stable life from now on, without worrying about the plundering of the Turks.

……

Outside the small city, all the soldiers of the Anxi New Army dismounted to rest, and the guards who did not go to watch the battle stood on the side of the road, looking at the road to the west.

"It's coming!"

In the distance, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, and some anxious soldiers shouted loudly.

The soldiers all rushed to the top of the avenue, looking eagerly into the distance. On the side of the Anxi New Army, the athletes looked calm, they all sat on the ground, and few people stood up.

A regiment of 300 cavalrymen, all equipped with Yuanrong crossbows, if you can't overthrow a small tribe, the leading captain can die.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the dust raised could already be seen, and it wasn't long before a troop of cavalry galloped in from afar

The formation in front was in order, and it was the cavalry that went out to fight. Trailing behind were dozens of strange-looking veterans.

"General! None of the three hundred sons were damaged, and none of the barbarians escaped! Still a hundred paces away, Li Hui shouted loudly on horseback.

"Good!" Ma Lan laughed and nodded.

Three hundred cavalrymen walked proudly past the Wuhai guards on both sides of the road and returned to the ranks. The careful soldier quickly checked it, and it was indeed a lot.

"Captain, did you really kill all those barbarians and avenge my father?" A young soldier ran up and grabbed Luo Jin's horse head and said in a loud voice.

His father died in that battle, and then he was added as a soldier, and naturally hated the Turks of that tribe.

Luo Jin leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, jumped off the horse, and nodded, "Everyone is dead, and not a single one is alive." ”

The soldier showed excitement on his face, walked quickly to Ma Lu, knelt down and kowtowed to Ma Lu.

At that moment, a few young soldiers came out, also kneeling down towards Ma Luan.

They are all soldiers who came after their father and brother died in battle, and now they have finally taken revenge, so they are naturally grateful to Ma Lu.

Ma Lan asked the reason and hurriedly pulled a few people up.

Looking at several young soldiers with excited expressions, Ma Ling said solemnly: "From now on, for the death of every Tang Dynasty athlete, we will make the barbarians pay a hundredfold and a thousand times the price!" Let's let the barbarians know that the Tang people can't be provoked! It is better to teach people to be afraid, not to teach people to deceive, you all remember this sentence for me. Someone avenges your father and brother today, and when you take a knife to avenge other brothers and brothers in the future, you must be ruthless and leave no one behind! It's all remembered for a certain family! ”

"Yes, General!" Several young soldiers shouted in unison, tears already welling up in their eyes.

"If we kill the barbarians of our Tang people, we can't treat them as human beings!" Ma Lan raised his voice, looked at the guards captured by Wuhai and said, "Those who are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, we can treat them as friends." Those who are enemies of the Tang Dynasty, those who rebel and are attached to them, and those who wait and see the wall, as long as they have the blood of the Tang people on their hands, there is one word, that is, kill! You are also a subordinate of so-and-so, and you have not had time to teach you in the Anxi River for a long time, and you must remember what so-and-so said today! I don't care how I did it in the past, I will deal with the Turks in the future, just like today, as long as I hurt a Tang person, it will be cut down and eradicated, and no one will be left! ”

After hearing this, the soldiers looked excited, and clenched their fists hard.

The nearby Western Turkic tribes did not dare to be arrogant again in the past two years, and when they arrived at the edge of the guard, they did not walk from the avenue, but bypassed from a distance, not afraid of them, but afraid of the fierce name of the general in front of them. When I saw it today, the general was really ruthless and black-hearted, and his reputation was well deserved.

In the past, everyone only operated in the vicinity of the guard, and the vast steppe was the domain of the Turks. In the past two years, the scope of activities of the group has gradually expanded, which has also benefited from the general.

The blood of young people is hot, and they are no exception. After listening to Ma Luan's words, they were also extremely excited, and they wanted to fight a bloody battle with the Turks.

Luo Jin, the guard made Luo Jin look at Ma Lu with bruised muscles on his forehead from a distance, and only felt that he saw a fierce wolf. Such a general was completely different from the generals he had seen before.

Kang Xiaoyu saw that Ma Lan's expression was becoming more and more hideous, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she stretched out her hand to hold Ma Lan's hand.

There is one more woman in the army, and the new army in Anxi is used to it, but the Wuhai guards feel quite novel, and they all look at the two.

Kang Xiaoyu didn't care, she only had Ma Lan in her eyes, she was worried about his state at the moment, as for what others thought, where would she care.

Ma took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

Shicai just suddenly thought of the Yining incident, and couldn't control himself for a while. But it's a millennium ago, and there's really no reason to be so excited about that tragedy.

Turning back to Kang Xiaoyu and nodding slightly, signaling that she didn't have to worry, Ma Lan grabbed the Mo knife from Qinghai Jiao's back, looked at the young man who knelt on the ground first and said, "Can the Mo knife be used?" ”

"General, I haven't used it, but I want to try!" The young man blushed and said loudly.

"Then try it! If you can make Mo Dao, come with me! Ma Lan said, handing the handle of the knife to the young man. (To be continued.) )
