And after breakfast on this day, Zhang Jiashi summoned all the five hundred officers under his command, including the Liaodong County Guard.
In the main tent of the barracks, which was located about three kilometers east of Dingxiang City, Zhang Jiashi looked at the more than 60 officers above the rank of 500 under his command, and he said slowly: "Everyone should know that this general has conducted a lot of harsh training in the past period. Today, General Ben has summoned everyone to come here mainly to announce one thing to you. ”
Zhang Jiashi's words made many people chuckle in their hearts, because they could deduce what Zhang Jiashi planned to do in many things.
For Zhang Jiashi, his action is the most important link in whether he can fight for his own living space. Once the operation fails or the Donghu people do not take the bait, the arrangements he has made in the past few days and the casualties of those officers and soldiers under his command can be said to be a complete failure, and in the next two months, Ying Zheng, who may die according to the historical trajectory, may not let him go easily.
In the face of Ying Zheng's punishment, Zhang Jiashi was not worried, this is the difference between dying a little early and dying a little later. However, the failure of this operation against the Donghu people mainly affected the trajectory that would have occurred in history.
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi, who is facing this situation, must gamble once.
How could he not have known that this was an operation that only allowed success and not failure?
But he was well aware that on this occasion there were many things that were not suitable for being said.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Zhang Jiashi slowly said the plan he planned to implement against the Donghu people this time.
"You should all know very well that although Donghu did not attack us on a large scale like the Huns, one thing that cannot be ignored is that the Donghu people have also invaded our northern border of Great Qin many times and killed and plundered our officers and soldiers of Great Qin. Perhaps, such a thing as the Donghu people is not a great disaster for our Great Qin, but everyone, can we let the Donghu people continue to act like this and continue to plunder the foundation of our Great Qin's national strength?"
"I, Zhang Jiashi, favored by His Majesty, now as the post of General Zuo who fought against Donghu, you should know very well why this general is not in Jixian County, Guangyang County, this prosperous place to open a mansion, but to this desolate place in your eyes, the most important thing is that I hope to be able to bring the hidden dangers of the Donghu people to a heavy blow to the Huns like the general in the battle of Yinshan in Hetao, so that the border troubles can be temporarily stopped for a few years. ”
"You may have other ideas, so you might as well say them right here. ”
After Zhang Jiashi finished the two short paragraphs, he looked at the officers and lieutenants under his command, waiting for their speeches.
The lieutenant officers under the command of Zhang Jiashi are mainly Sima Qi, the county guard of Liaodong County, and Jiansu Jiaoliang, two captains who are quite famous in the Northern Xinjiang Army.
The position of the three of them is opposite that of Chen Ping, who is now appointed by Zhang Jiashi as the left general Sima.
In contrast to Su Jiaojian, Sima Qi's contact with Zhang Jiashi was shorter.
Although, maybe the two had a relationship in the Xianyang Dynasty Meeting, but Sima Qi, who couldn't have talked to anything, didn't believe that Zhang Jiashi's operation could succeed.
He tactfully expressed his objections: "General Zuo, this county guard has a few doubts, I wonder if General Zuo can resolve his doubts?"
"Sima Junshou said it was okay. Zhang Jiashi nodded lightly.
General Zuo may have known that the Donghu people are not as high as the Huns, and the prestige of the Donghu king is far less than that of the Xiongnu head Mandanyu. This is also the main reason why Donghu has not been able to gather a large number of troops to carry out Koubian. In this case, General Zuo's operation should be to deal a heavy blow to the strength of the Donghu people, but for the Donghu people, who are quite scattered, the difficulty of doing this is not ordinary. I wonder if General Zuo has a good solution to this problem?"
Zhang Jiashi has long known that such a question will be raised. He glanced at Sima Qi, who was now under his command, and nodded slightly: "What Sima Junshou said is naturally very reasonable. Although the general did not have a good solution to this problem, he had a way to force the king of Donghu to gather the Donghu tribe to the south as much as possible. ”
When Zhang Jiashi said this, he glanced at the people in the camp tent and said slowly: "That is to use the way of others to govern their bodies! Since the Donghu people have gone south to Koubian many times, they have killed and plundered our officers and soldiers of Great Qin, and destroyed our villages and towns of Great Qin. In that case, why can't we do the opposite?"
Hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, many people's brows furrowed slightly, because Zhang Jiashi's words made many people guess what Zhang Jiashi was going to say next. In other words, Zhang Jiashi's action is very directly related to this sentence.
And after Chen Ping, Xiao He and the others glanced at each other, they could see a trace of unbearability in their eyes.
But they know very well that once Zhang Jiashi really wants to do this, they will also do their best to help Zhang Jiashi deal with the corresponding matters. That's the job of the staff.
And Sima Qi, after thinking about what Zhang Jiashi said, said in an uncertain tone: "General Zuo, you shouldn't let us enter the controlled area of Donghu......
Zhang Jiashi nodded slightly: "Yes, General Ben will send 10,000 warriors who are good at cavalry and archery into the territory of Donghu......"
"Burn and kill all the Donghu tribes you encounter!"
Zhang Jiashi's words confirmed the speculation among many people.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
"Your Excellency. Chen Ping looked at Zhang Jiashi, who was standing on the edge of the battlements of the Great Wall, and said in a low voice: "My lord, even if this matter is successful, I am afraid that my lord will not tolerate it in the eyes of those pedantic people." ”
Zhang Jiashi felt the sea breeze blowing from the south, and he shook his head: "Mr. Chen, you don't support Zhang either?"
"No, adults do this, although Ping feels unbearable, but adults do this, it is indeed the most effective way. But why did the Lord order his cavalry to leave as few people or animals as possible wherever he went? If the Lord wanted, we could also rescue those who had been plundered, and even transport the women and children of Donghu back as ......"
Chen Ping didn't say it too clearly, but Zhang Jiashi knew very well that Chen Ping said this because he wanted to say that the women and children of the Donghu people were good slaves.
But Zhang Jiashi shook his head: "Mr. Chen, if our cavalry attacked, with these prisoners, can they still gallop as much as possible and go away like the wind?"
"This ......," Chen Ping shook his head gently.
Zhang Jiashi did not speak, but prayed in his heart: "I hope everything can go well." ”
......
Time returned to the camp tent in Zhang Jiashi's army, Zhang Jiashi looked at the officers and captains in front of him with murderous intent, and said slowly: "Before announcing the personnel who will lead the troops to attack, General Ben makes three requests here. ”
"First, the large-scale Donghu tribe should not take the initiative to attack as much as possible, and the second, when encountering the Donghu tribe that can be attacked, try to leave no people or animals behind, but if you find that something is wrong, evacuate quickly! Third, this battle ...... You can't carry the head with the army, and the offender will ...... Chop!"
The first two of the three requirements that Zhang Jiashi said were quite easy to understand for these officers and lieutenants of the Qin army, but the third point made many people unable to understand.
That is, the significance of a first rank to many officers and men is completely self-evident.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi knew that it was difficult for someone to take the initiative to carry out such an order. But it doesn't matter, Zhang Jiashi really plans to use military regulations to justify the punishment this time.
Zhang Jiashi knew very well that if these attacking knights really took a few heads and continued to go deeper, Zhang Jiashi could guarantee that none of these people would want to run back.
He sent people to carry out the tactics of breaking the relationship, instead of letting the death squad go directly to death.
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi immediately said to Chen Ping: "Chen Sima, record it, if the knight who comes back has a head on his body, he will be the head of the camp gate, and he will show it to the public for three days!"
After hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, which was actually said to them, everyone was very helpless.
Although the military merit is good, it must be enjoyed.
Zhang Jiashi glanced at the soldiers under his command, and after his expressions were different, he showed a touch of helplessness......
If someone didn't contribute to the work like this, he would admit it, but compared to the fact that it was very likely that the entire army would be wiped out because of the military exploits of a small number of people, Zhang Jiashi would rather choose to believe these subordinates.
Next, Zhang Jiashi announced the candidates for the attack.
The 10,000 knights under his command, who could barely run at high speeds, were divided into twenty teams of five hundred men.
Under Zhang Jiashi, Su Teng and Li Cang became the chief and deputy commanders of the three thousand knights.
Among the 5,000 knights under Zhang Jiashi's command, they completely selected the knights who could perform mounted archery.
And Su Jiao became the commander of a force of 2,000 people, among these 2,000 people, there were knights brought by Su Jiaojian from the area of Yunzhong Dai County, and there were also cavalry troops temporarily transferred from Liaoxi County.
As the big head, it was the five thousand Liaodong County knights selected by Sima Qi.
In a sense, Zhang Jiashi believes that the most likely person to work is the 5,000 people under Sima Qi.
However, now that it has come to this point, Zhang Jiashi finds that he can no longer give up this plan.
Everything is like an arrow on the bow, and it has to be sent.
Therefore, after everything seemed to be going normally, Zhang Jiashi personally accompanied the selected people to the exit of the Great Wall to see them off.
......
Zhang Jiashi was on the aisle of the Great Wall, looking at the vast plain, and his heart was full of thoughts.
He didn't know how many people would lie forever between the white mountains and black waters that were completely unfamiliar to many people because of his plan this time.
However, he knew that since he was a soldier, many things could no longer be dominated by one person's opinion.
And Chen Ping looked at Zhang Jiashi, who was looking into the distance again, and had a thought in his heart: "There must be a reason why we can't think of adults doing this." Perhaps, as your lord said, your majesty will return to heaven in two months?"
Chen Ping, who shook his head and quickly dispersed this idea, stood behind Zhang Jiashi like this, waiting for the result to come.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Zhang Jiashi's expected knights of the border army of Liaodong County, who did not contribute to work, did not happen.
After dispersing with other troops, Sima Qi and Zhang Jiashi, who volunteered to lead the troops in person, were originally the commanders, but now became his deputies, and soon encountered a small Donghu tribe with a number of about three or four thousand.
After hearing the report of the scout in front, Sima Qi and Ma, who were standing side by side on their war horses, after glancing at each other, Sima Qi said loudly: "Warriors, for the sake of our dead robes and villagers, kill all the dogs!!
"Kill, !!"
With Sima Qi taking the lead, 5,000 Qin knights quickly followed behind Sima Qi and swooped towards the camp of the Donghu tribe reported by the scouts.
Faced with this situation, he was stunned at first, but then he also reacted, because he knew very well that many people who were guarding northern Xinjiang, including relatives and comrades, had died at the hands of the Donghu people or Huns in Koubian.
In fact, Zhang Jiashi's order gave them the best excuse for revenge.
He knew this very well, because many of the family members or friends of the officers under his command had died at the hands of the invading Huns.
At that time, there may not have been many large-scale wars in the Northern Frontier of Great Qin, but compared to this, the entire Northern Frontier of Great Qin, even if there is a year, nothing has happened, which is really a strange thing.
I couldn't help but think of what Zhang Jiashi said to him: "If Sima Junshou has some unfavorable actions, you can act expediently." ”
At that time, he knew that Zhang Jiashi said that Sima Qi's actions were not good, because he was worried that Sima Qi and the Liaodong County cavalry under his command would not be able to send troops.
But he never took such a thing to heart.
It's just that he didn't remind Zhang Jiashi, because of such a thing, it can be said that only people who have experienced it personally know what to do.
Or how to get revenge......
Thinking of this, he said to his five hundred guards, "Let's go too." If it's too late, we might not even be able to kill a few of them. ”
"Kill !!"
......
This tribe is a branch of a small nomadic tribe in Donghu, as a small tribe, they can only find some places on the periphery of the big tribe, looking for some places that the big tribe does not look at, and live in pursuit of water and grass.
However, the people of this tribe did not expect that today would be a day full of blood and death for them.
Like a tide, the five thousand Great Qin knights bent their bows and arrows on their horses, and then within a certain range, they shot bows and arrows at the Donghu herdsmen who had not yet reacted.
Some of the herdsmen who were shot by the Qin army's bows and crossbows fell from their horses to the ground screaming, or they were directly hit by the arrows sent by the bows and crossbows, and they died quickly.
Many cattle, sheep and horses were shot and fell to the ground wailing.
After a while, the knights of the Qin army stepped on the bodies of people or livestock that had not yet died, and galloped directly towards the center of the camp of the Donghu people.
At this time, the camp center of the Donghu people also found a large number of incoming Qin troops.
The strong men of Donghu who are on guard, of course, will not be stupid enough to think that these people are their warriors of Donghu, because the armor and equipment of the Qin army are not comparable to the tattered things and crooked bronze weapons of the Donghu people.
Moreover, some of the Qin army's Changge are tied with a piece of Qin army flag with black stripes on a white background, which illustrates this point even more.
Strong men of the Donghu people continued to mount horses, and then, after their families delivered weapons, they quickly joined the others to meet the Qin army.
The two sides continued to shoot arrows at each other in getting closer and closer, but the quality of the bows and arrows of the Donghu people was not as good as that of the Qin army, and in the absence of hard bows, the bows and arrows used by the Donghu people for hunting, even if they directly hit the body of the Qin army, could not shoot through the leather armor or even the iron armor on the Qin army.
Although a few Qin knights were shot in the face or some unarmored parts by the shoddy arrows of the Donghu people, few were shot directly off their horses, and many were able to continue the fight.
However, compared to the situation where the Qin army reduced the degree of casualties due to the equipment gap, the Donghu people, who were mainly wearing leather clothes, the bronze and iron-forged arrows of the Qin army could easily penetrate the opponent's body.
Moreover, unlike the arrows of the Donghu people, many of the arrows of the Qin army had their own blood grooves.
Many Donghu people were unable to stop the bleeding the moment they were shot.
However, Sima Qi, who was bending his bow and arrows again, discovered one thing, that is, a Donghu man was constantly shooting and killing the Qin knights under his command with his superb archery skills and the Qin-standard bow and arrow that he didn't know where to go.
In less than a few minutes, more than ten Qin Army knights had been directly shot in the throat by the other party, and he could even see a Qin Army knight not far in front of him, who was shot upside down and flew off his horse, and the bronze arrow that pierced his neck showed that this knight was hopeless.
While bending his bow and arrows, he constantly searched for this Donghu archer with his eyes, this kind of nomadic unique professional, in terms of strength, even stronger than the Great Qin Marksman of the same level.
Soon, Sima Qi found the eagle archer who was leaning on the back of a group of war horses, bending his bow and arrows.
He wanted to shoot the other man directly, but he also knew very well that the hard bow in his hand could not penetrate the horse's body directly and then shoot the other party.
However, at this time, he said loudly to him: "You aim at people, I shoot horses!"
"Good!"
The reason why he did this was because his archery skills were not very good, and he was able to use the seven-stone strong bow, and he could easily shoot the horse to death, but he could not accurately hit the opponent.
That's why he said this to Sima Qi.
The arrows, like shooting stars, struck the horse. The horse's body was shot over, but Sima Qi seized the opportunity to hit the eagle archer in the neck after jumping backwards in embarrassment, dodging the horse pressing on him, unable to move in the air......
As soon as this eagle archer died, the pressure on the Qin army from this Donghu camp was suddenly greatly reduced......
Waiting for the ...... of this camp
There is only a killing that will come at any time......
