Chapter 9 Killing Hu Xing
readx;?? For Su Jiao and Zhao Miao, they didn't seem to need to know too much detail about why the pursuers of the Donghu people retreated. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoFor more exciting novels, please visit, but compared to this, Zhang Jiashi's task will still be completed.
It is their own dignity and past glory that spurs them on to keep going.
At this time, dozens of kilometers to the west, in the camp that was slaughtered by Sima Qi and the two of them, stood the current king of Donghu, Zabehe.
Looking at the tragic situation of corpses strewn all over the camp, and the arrows that the Qin army found that could not be used again after being recycled and were broken on the ground, Zabehe knew very well that this was a provocation by Great Qin to him.
In fact, he was furious, because he had not encountered such a thing once in all the more than ten years of his reign.
In the past, only he and the warriors of the Donghu tribes under his command would attack the border people of Great Qin who could almost plunder wantonly in their eyes.
When will it become a-for-tat for a tooth by the Qin army this time?
This Donghu tribe was besieged by the five thousand knights of Great Qin, and soon became a pitiful worm who was slaughtered almost in full, and many other tribal leaders who followed behind the king of Donghu, as well as some Donghu warriors who were famous among Donghu, many of them angrily asked him to fight.
He would have liked to do the same, but apart from the operation nearly two months ago, he hadn't gathered a large number of Donghu tribes again in recent years.
The deeds of Qin Kai, which had been passed down from their ancestors, made the subsequent Donghu people reluctant to gather together again and become slaughtered lambs.
In fact, such an idea has also become a kind of decline of the Donghu kingship, and it is difficult for him, the king of Donghu, to effectively gather the people located in the west of the foothills like his ancestors.
It was not so much a predatory offensive by his orders as a predatory offensive by the tribes to the west that had been privately united.
Although he is still the whole tribe of Donghu, in many ways, he deserves to be the king. It's a pity that in the face of more and more tribal leaders who seem to be inferior to him in strength, but who have violated the yang and yin many times in private, how can he not be extremely depressed?
A few years ago, he also planned to take advantage of the fact that the Xiongnu were defeated by the Qin people in the Battle of Yinshan in Hetao, and take the opportunity to attack the Xiongnu in the west, but it is a pity that those tribal leaders in the west actually relied on this and that excuse to refute his proposal to convene a meeting between tribal leaders.
Of course, he was really in his tent, roaring loudly for a long time.
That night, he couldn't sleep for a long time, and he knew that if he really wanted to do something of his own, like the head man who heard that he had driven his son out of the vengeance of the Otsuki clan as a hostage, it was a path he would definitely try to integrate the power under his command more effectively.
Therefore, although he was not very satisfied with the invasion of Beiping County in Great Qin Right some time ago, this did not prevent him from gradually thinking of a more feasible path.
For example, it is a good plan to defeat the Northeast Army of the Qin people, invade the territory of the Qin people on a large scale, burn and plunder.
However, Zabehe, who was still thinking about what to do step by step, did not expect that the Qin people would actually strike first.
Listening to his detailed report on the Great Qin frontier a few years ago, it seems that the Qin people have a young general who is responsible for dealing with the threat of their Eastern Hu to Great Qin.
After receiving the news, he laughed at his cronies and children: "The Qin people think that with a small hairy head, they can face us? The emperor of the Qin people, does he think this little hairy head is Qin Kai, or Li Mu, or Meng Tian?"
A lot of people laughed out loud because of his words.
In fact, if the person who came was Meng Tian, it would be what worried Zabekh and his warriors. But for Zhang Jiashi, who is not well-known, they don't need to pay attention to this kind of young ghost at all.
But they were wrong.
Judging from the tragic situation of this camp in front of them, they underestimated the Great Qin Zuo General named Zhang Jiashi.
At the very least, the other party's ruthless side makes many people not know how to face it.
You must know that they have invaded the so-called Central Plains and Northern Xinjiang for many years, and they will not do these things to kill everything. They were more inclined to plunder the population, livestock, and wealth of the southern frontiers as much as possible in order to show their status, or to be brave.
From the former Zhao State and Yan State, to the area bordering the Great Qin Border County to the present. They basically act in the spirit of plundering each other and increasing their own strength.
However, this time the Qin people's offensive does not seem to be as simple as wanting to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.
Because if you plunder people, livestock, and horses, they won't go deep into this place.
However, since the situation here is so bad now, I am afraid that those scattered small tribes further south who dare to approach the Great Wall area will only end up much worse than the current tribe that is already considered to be the outer part of the hinterland.
......
Just as Zabeh thought, many scattered herdsmen or small tribes of Donghu in the south, who were blocked in their path, had been wiped out fairly cleanly before the Qin army dispersed into three forces and acted separately according to Zhang Jiashi's regulations.
Except for a few people who saw that the situation was not good and hid in the weeds as tall as people, the others were basically intercepted and killed by the scouts under Zhang Jiashi's command.
Before this operation, Zhang Jiashi summoned himself to Dingxiang City, and the scouts in each cavalry army gathered together for unified training.
The effect surprised many people, including Su Teng and those who didn't agree with Zhang Jiashi's actions, such as Sima Qi and others. After only about half a month of training, a kind of training that they didn't quite understand in many senses, the efficiency of these scouts has improved quite significantly in many aspects.
Although I don't know exactly what this is all about, this efficiency has raised the expectations of many people for this operation.
Even Su Teng said: "The training plan that Zhang Jiashi gave him and asked him to lead the implementation has obviously improved many scouts' own abilities.
Including some Liaodong County border army officers and captains who despised Zhang Jiashi because of Zhang Jiashi's age, to a large extent, they reduced their contempt for Zhang Jiashi.
Zhang Jiashi, who knew this situation, maybe he didn't know whether to laugh or be humble.
Because Zhang Jiashi can't tell the truth, that is, in this training plan, the person in charge is still living in Zhang Jiashi's consciousness, and Zhang Jiashi can communicate with Zhang Jiashi's consciousness.
If Bai Qi hadn't realized that some things, some equipment, and even some advanced methods couldn't be done now, or if Bai Qi had the same mouse-throwing weapon, it is estimated that Bai Qi would not mind replacing the armor of these scouts with a camouflage.
It is difficult to achieve the corresponding large-scale production of dyes or lacquers on the one hand, but more, Bai Qi himself is very clear, and this does not have much effect on the current situation.
Now is not the era of maturity of hot weapons that can kill people from a distance of a few hundred meters or even more in later generations, but an era of cold weapon combat that is not only a real top master, but also a distance of two hundred meters, or even a direct hand-to-hand battle to determine the outcome of the battle.
At this distance, the role of camouflage, not to say no, but large corps fighting, it makes no sense to do so.
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi asked Su Teng to lead the scout training program this time, or in a way that Bai Qi thought was more suitable.
Perhaps, the effect of this is not to the point of rebirth, but even Su Teng admits that the effect of this kind of training is indeed quite good.
If Su Teng knew that Zhang Jiashi and Bai Qi were very entangled in the current telescope's cheating level, it is estimated that he would be taken aback.
There's no way, the telescope, even if it's a monocular, the material of the appearance is not a problem, and the Mo family itself seems to have tried this research.
But just like the failure of the senior, before solving the problem of impurities because of the glass, Zhang Jiashi said that he would not let the telescope that saw the image like a haha mirror be popularized into the hands of the corresponding personnel.
The telescope is no better than the small glass Sinan designed by Mo Shu's own ideas, the former is unusable, and the latter is something that can probably see the position of the north and south, and the demand for glass purity is not so harsh.
In this regard, Mo Shu was ordered by Zhang Jiashi to improve the purity of the glass raw materials as much as possible, or directly try to use the screened, relatively fine and transparent sea sand.
Of course, it will take time.
And Mo Shu also said that as long as Zhang Jiashi gave him time, everything would be fine.
Oh, by the way, there are all kinds of support that Mo Shu needs, and Zhang Jiashi will also provide it.
The above is one of the things that Zhang Jiashi thinks he must do after coming to Dingxiang.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
On the premise that the situation is not clear, he also hopes to immediately go south to counterattack Zhang Jiashi's Zabehe, according to his own revenge thoughts, after ordering the 20,000 Donghu knights to return, Zabehe on the one hand ordered others to burn and bury the bodies of the deceased, and on the other hand, he continued to send his own knights to convey the transfer order to other Donghu tribe leaders who did not follow him south.
How many people will come, this Zabekh also does not have his own number, but this does not mean that there is no one who will not come.
Even the tribe he informed, only half of them came, and Zabehe, whose strength had been greatly improved, was even able to gather more than 100,000 young and middle-aged people to attack the Great Wall in Liaodong on a large scale.
Since before, it was also the Great Wall Attack Battle, and those tribes in the west could unite and be able to do it with about 40,000 people, then with the strength of more than 100,000 people, there was no way that he couldn't do it.
He was even able to think of cutting off Zhang Jiashi's head in the camp tent, and then paying tribute to the dead, and his prestige reached a point that even the ancestors in the heyday of Donghu could not match.
This is the main reason why Zabekh has not acted for the time being.
But to do so, Zabekh himself will also need more time.
It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Jiashi was dispatched, and now the cavalry army, which was now more and more scattered, continued to enter the further north of the area where Zabeh was now located.
......
Zabekh will know about such a thing sooner or later.
However, he definitely did not expect that two days later, it would be a cronie whose arm had been cut off, covered in blood, and made him cry, many large and small tribes located in the north, as long as the number of people did not exceed 10,000, it was very likely that they had been attacked.
Zabekh, who was stunned by this situation, after coming back to his senses, pulled out his ancestral bronze sword, and directly cut off half of the head of his cronies who lowered their heads.
Many people in the tent were similarly overwhelmed.
Because such a thing is completely out of their way of thinking.
When, with the passive defense of the Great Wall, would the Qin people actually commit such a brutal act? And it was more like their nomadic tribe's way of fighting?
A lot of people think of this as a matter of day.
In fact, they would not have been so surprised if they had known that Zhang Jiashi had improved the "sparrow warfare" tactics of later generations for this operation, as the core tactical requirements of this operation.
The enemy is outnumbered, so just send out scouts, contact nearby detachments, and then gather together to attack again. If the enemy is small, it will attack directly.
This is the tactical method that Zhang Jiashi put forward and the commanders of each squad can refer to.
To be honest, the Donghu people often do this.
However, in contrast to the Donghu people, who were more acting alone, Zhang Jiashi proposed a systematic way of fighting, and with the addition of the current strength of the Qin army, it was not at all comparable to the previous results of the Donghu people.
The most important factor, that is, the Qin army is here to kill people this time, not to plunder, in addition to cleaning the battlefield, recovering arrows that can still be used, or using the bows and arrows of the Donghu people for emergency, many Donghu tribal camps have become a hell with blood flowing and it seems that there are unjust souls crying, because the Qin army often leaves directly, rather than cutting off the head.
In the face of such a result, the commanders of each unit or the temporary substitute commanders realized why Zhang Jiashi strongly resisted such a thing as cutting off the head.
You can't expect a horse to be fast or sharp after hanging a dozen heads.
In addition to the brilliant results, the casualties of the Qin army were accumulating, and the number was quite large.
Some of the knights who accompanied them with their medicines quickly ran out of their medicines, and many of the Qin knights were not fatally injured, but because of the inflammation of their wounds, a large number of people fell.
In the face of such a situation, many people can still rely on their physical fitness to support the past. However, some people were buried in makeshift pits the next morning because they could not wake up again.
Others, on the other hand, fell off their horses during their actions at night......
Although Zhang Jiashi had a certain way of coping, he concentrated the medical workers of Liaodong County and the eastern county of Liaoxi County to make a certain amount of corresponding medicines.
But he didn't expect that in this attack on Donghu, the consumption of medicine was even faster than that of arrows.
If Zhang Jiashi knew about this situation, he would have put off a few days to make his preparations more thorough.
It's just that at that time, the history of this world may go in another direction.
......
In a certain area located at the junction of Liaoning and Jilin in the later generations, in the lush plain forested area, Su Jiao and Jian looked helplessly at the team under his command, which totaled less than 600 people.
After many dispersals, the two of their forces had already separated, or merged with other teams.
That is to say, the people who are supposed to be commanding their respective troops often gather together in a ghostly way.
There is no way to do this, because even if they go north along the plains, once they encounter a fork in the river or some reason, they will often choose to separate their troops and continue to explore.
Compared with the joy of meeting an old friend, the two of them glanced at each other with a sad face, and then the older one said: "Brother Su, our medicine has been completely used up, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Well, we don't have a lot of bows and arrows that we can use. Shouldn't we go back?" Su Jiao sighed softly when he heard this.
It's no wonder that the bows and arrows of the Donghu people are simply garbage for their standard equipment.
Without the support of the transport team, they can basically only move forward lightly, and they can fight for the past few days, which can be said to be a very good record.
The most important point is that the will to fight is quickly depleted by the officers and men under their command.
Without the reliance of military merit, on the one hand, these officers, as well as most of the soldiers, can understand. But that way to die...... But many people find it more and more difficult to accept.
They even secretly communicated with the officers of the other teams that had joined together to attack the Donghu camp......
That is to change the order slightly, so that after these officers and soldiers have successfully attacked a tribe, they will leave some women to vent......
Of course, they knew that the military discipline under Zhang Jiashi's command was strict. However, not to mention them, even Zhang Jiashi, I am afraid that they did not expect that such a battle would be so tormenting.
Maybe they, the officers, will be punished, but compared to this, being attacked by mutinous soldiers, or infighting, is not something they can accept.
Therefore, in the face of a group of officers and soldiers under his command whose morale was getting lower and lower, he pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "Let's go." ”
......
Not only Su Jiao and Jian, but also many squad commanders had to face this similar situation, while Li Cang and Di Bu were very distressed, because under their command, the officers and soldiers who were originally from the cavalry of the prisoner army seemed to have relapsed.
If it weren't for Li Cang and Di Bu, who killed a few people who violated military discipline in the first place, and calmed the scene a little, I'm afraid it would be ...... Both of them had to leave their subordinates behind and flee directly.
Something like setting a precedent has proven that it is not something that can be done for granted.
After dealing with the situation in this regard, Zhang Jiashi had no choice but to put an end to such a method of warfare.
And now, more and more detachments of knights of the Qin army, under the guidance of the scouts, are turning back to the south one after another.
However, they didn't know that what was waiting for them was not only Zhang Jiashi, who was also a little anxious, but also the Donghu people who had become crazy.
