Chapter 44: Han Zhong conferred the head
Han Zhong saw Ye Yun behaving like this, this pretending to be forced was too high! Suddenly he was angry, grabbed the horse, and waved his knife to bully him closer. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Han Zhong is a quick knife, and he pays the most attention to personal attacks, so he needs to bully and attack.
Ye Yun saw Han Zhong rushing towards with his horse, he had already prepared, and as soon as he lifted the reins of the horse, the war horse stood alone, easily dodging this quick knife. Speaking of which, this Ye Yun is a top general in Mongolia, and he has a bold personality, and his horse control skills are even more first-class, looking at Han Zhong's movements, he naturally knows what Han Zhong wants to do next, it can be said that Han Zhong's fast knife, in Ye Yun's opinion, is just a child's playhouse.
Han Zhong missed with a knife, turned the horse's head, and took Ye Yun's horse leg with a knife. Because Ye Yun controlled the horse just now, the horse's hooves flicked wildly, and he used his old knife with all his strength, and he didn't have time to cut off the horse's legs. This time, he went to cut Ye Yun clearly, but in fact, he didn't want to wait for the old knife technique, just to come at the front hooves of the war horse.
As soon as Ye Yun saw the strength of Han Zhong's sword, he knew his plan. When Han Zhong rushed over, he gently took the reins and pushed the horse's head away. Han Zhong's knife naturally fell short.
Han Zhong stabbed twice, Ye Yun did not block, let alone fight back, they all dodged through horse control techniques. Han Zhong understood what Ye Yun meant at this moment, this guy was not pretending to be forced, but a master of art and boldness. Thinking of this, Han Zhong was secretly vigilant in his heart, but this Ye Yun said that he wanted to make three moves, it seems that it should still be true.
Now that he has used two moves, since Ye Yun said to let three moves, then Ye Yun should not fight back in the third move, so he will attack with all his strength, regardless of his own defense. This Ye Yun has good horse control skills, he cuts horizontally, and he doesn't make any contributions, it seems that there is only a Mount Tai to press the top and slash it directly. There is only a straight slash, the attack range is wide, and the power is great, but it is not easy to dodge.
Thinking of this, Han Zhong turned his horse and rushed straight to Ye Yun, and when he got closer, he lifted the reins of the horse, and the war horse stood upright, and then followed the inertia of the war horse to the ground, and the wheel rounded the Pu knife and slashed straight down. If this knife is solid, even if Ye Yun can dodge, the war horse will be stopped and cut into two parts.
What a Ye Yun, seeing Han Zhong's war horse standing upright, and the season when the Pu knife was raised, he slammed the horse, and the horse rushed out several meters at once, and when Han Zhong Pu's knife wheel came down, it was still a foot away from Ye Yun's horse's tail!
The three moves have passed, and Ye Yun is naturally not good at stubble. Originally, these three moves had the intention of paralyzing Han Zhong, so when his horse was running forward, he backhanded his gourd jujube lance back and knocked it into the leg of Han Zhong's war horse. Pity this war horse, it was smashed by a golden gourd jujube yang lance full of wolf teeth, and immediately knelt on the ground. Han Zhong sat unsteadily, and was directly thrown into the air.
After Ye Yun hit it with one blow, he withdrew the golden gourd jujube yang lance from behind, rounded the mace-like golden gourd jujube yang lance from back to front, and then twisted his waist force and smashed the head of Han Zhong, who was still in mid-air. Poor Han Zhong, even if he was wearing a gold helmet and silver armor, he was smashed to the capital by this lance, and his entire head was like a ripe watermelon, the whole thing was torn apart, bursting open, and the red and white brains flew out several feet away.
Han Zhong died and died, but he died so miserably, so simply, it shocked all the Yellow Turban Army.
Just when the armies on both sides were shaking quietly, there were a few cannon shots in the distance, but it was Li Tang's ambush soldiers. For a while, the cry shook the sky, and the Yellow Turban soldiers in the battle formation trembled, and they wanted to escape.
At this time, the sky suddenly darkened, and the five fingers could not be seen, and the wind was fierce, and the torrential rain was like a note, which made the Yellow Turban Army cavalry panic and could not escape at all.
Of course, this time, Li Tang made a bloody investment, and directly sacrificed three kinds of war equipment, such as the Taiyin Banner, the Thunderstorm Banner, and the Wind Banner, which trapped the Yellow Turban Army on the core battlefield and did not dare to move.
And the edge of the battlefield, where it was not covered by the three flags, was naturally cleaned up by Li Tang's cavalry. Of course, Li Tang had already confessed, asking to save the lives of the Yellow Turban soldiers as much as possible, as for the Yellow Turban generals, as long as they saw it, they would kill them with all their might, implement beheading tactics, and ensure that the Yellow Turban Army had no leader, so that they could dismount and surrender.
Of course, the Yellow Turban generals are definitely more powerful than the soldiers, but Li Tang has no shortage of generals, and the Yellow Turban generals are more fanatical and not easy to control, if they can be captured alive, it is naturally not easy to kill, if they can't be captured alive, it is better to kill than not to kill!
The Yellow Turban Army on the periphery was not as elite as the elite inside, so after being trapped, they quickly surrendered. Li Tang's cavalry sent a small number of soldiers to watch over them, and the other cavalry took their horses and continued to force the other cavalry to surrender.
And the most pitiful of them were the soldiers who were besieged inside Miman, who could not advance or retreat, so they struggled to support themselves in the torrential rain and wind, and everywhere was pitch black, and there were people and horses attached to horses, and they could not walk, and they did not dare to dismount.
After a few hours, Miwata's power was gone, and everything was back to its original state. But it was also night, and the ground was muddy, so it was impossible to ride a horse.
At this time, the soldiers had not eaten for a day, and they were cold, hungry, tired, and afraid, and the horses had been dragging people and had not eaten forage, so they basically collapsed. Therefore, after suffering like this all night, by the time dawn, all the soldiers were embarrassed, the war horses were even more tired, and the combat strength of the soldiers was less than one tenth.
Without waiting for Li Tang's cavalry to shout for surrender and avoid death, these soldiers had already raised their hands to surrender.
Li Tang sent a large army to take these prisoners and imprisoned them all in the camp. As for the war horses, they should be fed with fodder and breathed in the camp, so that the war horses would not be disabled.
So far, Li Tang defeated the strong with the weak and won a complete victory. A total of countless grains, grass, silver salaries, gongs, drums, tents, weapons and equipment were seized, and what is even more powerful was that 2.5 million able-bodied horses were captured, and more than 2.6 million soldiers were captured. More than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were killed, and more than 200,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were on the periphery.
Of course, due to proper planning, Li Tang's army itself suffered very little damage, and it was not worth mentioning at all compared to the results of the battle.
These captured soldiers, war horses, other seizures, etc., are actually not Li Tang's private property, but belong to the imperial court. Because Li Tang represented the army of the imperial court at this time, that is, the army of Zhangling County, some of the seizures were all private property of Zhangling County.
These huge amounts of wealth, Li Tang does not have private possession, it does not mean that Li Tang does not want to occupy it privately, it is not impossible to occupy it privately, but it will be criticized, and if it is not good, it will be settled by the imperial court, and even the system will not help himself.
However, there are always more ways than problems, the control of these wealth is in the hands of Li Tang, and there is still a way to turn it into his own private property.
First of all, more soldiers were raised, and public funds were used to support private soldiers. This is what all the princes like to do the most, and they are doing it this way. However, Li Tang did even more. The soldiers raised by others actually belong to the soldiers of the imperial court, but Li Tangyang is indeed a veritable private soldier, that is, a soldier from Linhai City.
Secondly, eat empty salary. Nowadays, Li Tang has a lot of system cities, but the soldiers of these cities are all controlled by Li Tang. Li Tang only needs to put the soldiers in the jurisdiction of Linhai City under these cities, make a roster, and pay them salaries. All the princes did it, but Li Tang did it smarter. Other people's empty salaries are false rosters and real salaries, but Li Tang is a real soldier, a real salary, but the soldier is doing private work for Li Tang.
Again, the contracting project. The logistical supply projects of the imperial army generally need to be carried out by forceful recruitment, or forced labor, etc., and most of them are not paid for work, or given food, and the people are full of complaints. The princes did this, and the princes who were merciful gave the people some work, money, food, and so on.
Li Tang is different, none of these jobs are suitable for strong soldiers, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry. The people should farm the fields, the workers, the traders, and the babies, and do what they should do, so that the efficiency is high.
Therefore, Li Tang went on the expedition, and these tasks were entrusted to the logistics company, which was extremely efficient and completed the tasks relatively well, so everyone liked it.
Of course, the chairman of this logistics company is Li Tang. As for the strong men's conscription, the people still have to pay out. However, it can be exchanged for money and food to convert the work, and it is not necessary to do it yourself. In this way, the common people, especially the wealthy families, they are very much in agreement. After all, a small amount of money and food can be exchanged for non-servitude, which is a very cost-effective thing!
Through these methods, the wealth of these regions will eventually be gradually transferred to Li Tang's Linhai City.
As for the captured Yellow Turban soldiers, they are all the elite of the elite, and Li Tang naturally will not let it go. Anyway, if according to the methods of the imperial court, these people can be killed, forcibly conscripted as soldiers, can become slaves and untouchables, can be released, can serve hard labor, etc., it is reasonable.
However, Li Tang chose to ransom these people and turn them into untouchables in his own territory at a low price. This way of dealing with it can be said that the imperial court is the most approving of it, after all, it is always good if you pay for it.
Those captured weapons, gongs, drums, tents, grain and grass, and the like, which were used, were replenished to the army on the spot, and those that were not needed were sold. There are also those seized valuables, such as treasures, curiosities, etc., all of which were sold to Li Tang's trading company, the Kunpeng Legion, at a low price.
Completely solving Han Zhong's cavalry is equivalent to chopping off Wancheng's claws, and all that is left of Wancheng is teeth. As long as he doesn't get close to Wancheng, no matter how arrogant Li Tang is, Zhao Hong in Wancheng can't help Li Tang!
Therefore, Li Tang set a strategy to besiege Wancheng as usual, so that Wancheng would not get any supplies. At the same time, Li Tang ordered to expand the strength of each city to ensure that the strength of each city was 35-400,000, and the food and salary were not enough, so it was drawn from Zhangling County.
Of course, there were originally 20-400,000 troops in each city, so Li Tang naturally did not want to make up the quota, but only replenish the quota, but not the troops, and the surplus troops were stranded in Linhai City in the name of training and conquest outside to help Li Tang defend the city and attack various places.
As for the capture of Wancheng, not to mention that there were only 5 million people in Wancheng before, there are still more than 9 million people in Wancheng now, plus the defeated soldiers who fled back and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who fled everywhere, as well as the newly recruited soldiers, there are also about 9.5 million, compared with before, it is even stronger. Li Tang was naturally reluctant to go head-to-head with them.
It's just that in Wancheng, their own pressure is not small! Although it is a million more troops, it is millions of mouths to eat! They are going to eat, and if they don't have enough food, 10 million people will collapse faster than 1 million.
