Chapter 770: Pacifying Donghu
When the Donghu army and the Su Shen army saw that the king was captured, their first reaction was not to fight or surrender, but to flee frantically in all directions, only hating their parents for missing two legs.
"Except for those who surrender on their knees, there will be no mercy!" Li Mu's cold voice sounded on the grassland.
With Li Mu's order, the Zhao army pounced on the fleeing Donghu army and the Su Shen army like a hungry wolf, blood bloomed everywhere on the battlefield, the grass was stained red with blood, and the grassland was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Donghu and Su Shen's war horses were hungry for a winter, where could they outrun the war horses of the Zhao army, and before they escaped a few steps, soldiers were constantly chased by the Zhao army, and they knelt on the ground and surrendered.
But it was too late.
Zhao Jun's eyes were indifferent, and the cold spear pierced the enemy's chest mercilessly, rushing to the next enemy.
Some Donghu soldiers saw that Zhao Jun did not intend to let them go, so they turned their horses' heads and rushed towards Zhao Jun as if they were dead, trying to pull a Zhao soldier on the road before they died, but in the end they could only die tragically under the hooves of Zhao Jun's horses.
Although there were many people in Donghu and Su Shen, they were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of Zhao Jun, and they had no power to fight back.
The killing lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and the ground was covered with the corpses of the Donghu people, and then Li Mu ordered Zhao Jun to stop and said again, "Surrender or kill!"
Fan Tong hurriedly translated Li Mu's words.
This time, all the living Donghu army and Su Shen army did not hesitate, and hurriedly threw their weapons aside, turned over and dismounted, and surrendered on their knees. I was afraid that Li Mu would regret it if it was a second late.
"Tie them all up!" Li Mu waved his hand and said.
At this moment, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came from a distance, like a thunderclap, the earth was trembling violently, and soon, a boundless cavalry appeared in Zhao Jun's field of vision, and it was impossible to tell how many people there were.
The reinforcements that King Donghu just shouted are coming!
The eyes of the Donghu and Sushen people kneeling on the ground lit up, their reinforcements came!
"All ready." Li Mu turned his horse's head and faced the Donghu army, his spear pointed ahead, swept it hard, and the war horse galloped out, "Kill!"
"Kill!" The Zhao army shouted in unison, and as the sound of the bowstring continued to sound, a rain of arrows burst out towards the enemy.
The Donghu Sushen coalition army continued to fall to the ground with arrows, and hurriedly raised their bows to counterattack.
The arrows shot by Donghu were several times larger than those of the Zhao army, densely packed like locusts, but most of them were blocked by the war clouds, and the remaining part was also picked up by the Zhao army.
In terms of skills and foundation, the Great Wall Army is far from being comparable to these Rong Di, that is, there is no talent and military soul now, otherwise the Zhao Army will not lose even a single person in the face of these miscellaneous soldiers.
"Let's die to Lao Tzu!"
Sima Shang roared angrily and rushed into the enemy's army, swept up and down with the horse lance in his hand, and shot all the enemies in a radius of one zhang away, and Zhao Jun followed Li Mu and Sima Shang into streams, dividing the enemy into three parts.
The Zhao army was far inferior in number to the Eastern Hu Sushen coalition army, but they completely crushed their opponents in momentum, and their weapons streaked blood-red light in the air, taking the life of a Hu man with each flash.
Almost as soon as the two sides fought, the Eastern Hu Su Shen coalition began to collapse, which was completely different from the result they had imagined.
Why are they several times larger than the Zhao army, but in turn they are suppressed by the Zhao army.
And also...... The king has called us to help, but what about the king?
It's not going to be defeated!
Zhao Jun didn't care what the Donghu people thought, they had only one thought in their hearts: kill the enemy!
Donghu and Su Shen couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure and fled one after another.
After desperately trying to maintain the formation to no avail, the Donghu generals and the Su Shen generals decisively gave up the idea of defeating the Zhao army and led the soldiers of their headquarters to flee into the distance.
Li Mu and Sima Shang killed in front of the two armies on the left and on the right, and cut off the heads of the Donghu generals and the Su Shen generals with one shot.
"Surrender or kill!" Li Mu said loudly.
The officers and soldiers of the two armies looked at the heads in the hands of Li Mu and Sima Shang, put down their weapons one after another, and knelt on the ground, and the soldiers who surrendered before buried their heads in the ground, their bodies trembling slightly.
The Zhao army was too strong, so strong that they were still unable to defeat the Zhao army with ten times the number, and even with just one charge, they were killed by the Zhao army and collapsed.
Donghu no longer had the heart to resist, so he could only kneel on the ground and tremble, hoping that Zhao Jun would spare their lives.
"As long as you surrender obediently, Ben will never kill you." Li Mu said to all the Hu people, and the Zhao army behind him swarmed up and tied up all the surrendered Eastern Hu army and Su Shen army.
"I'll leave it to Mr. here." Li Mu said to Fan Tong, waved his spear forward, and shouted, "All the Great Wall Army, follow me!"
The symbolic significance of the king of Donghu for Donghu is greater than the practical significance, it is not that the king of Donghu can conquer the entire Donghu, the various tribes of Donghu are scattered throughout the grassland, and if you want to conquer the entire Donghu, you must conquer all the tribes.
If it was before, Zhao Guo would definitely not have this ability, but with the help of Fan Tong, Zhao Jun had already mastered the distribution map of all the tribes in the entire Donghu, and Donghu was in front of Zhao Jun, and there was no difference between running naked and naked.
"General, don't worry, leave it to me Lao Fan here, and I will send all the captives back to the Seine." Fan Tong said with a smile, he had waited too long for this moment.
Give the entire Donghu as a gift to Zhao Guo, and when you see King Zhao, the reward should be indispensable!
As soon as the words fell, Li Mu had already reached dozens of meters away.
"The next tribe is thirty miles away, with more than 30,000 people, which is a relatively large tribe. Li Yuan, you lead 1,500 soldiers to go."
"There is another tribe in the west, only 10,000 people, Chen Qi, you lead a thousand people to go."
"This tribe in the Northeast......
In order to speed up and destroy as many tribes as possible before the many tribes in Donghu reacted, Li Mu decided to divide his troops and then rendezvous with the Black Wolf Tribe.
There are many Donghu tribes, and the strength of each tribe is not strong, and the Zhao army was taken by surprise and soon captured several tribes one after another, although some tribes desperately resisted, they still could not change the result.
Fan Tong followed behind Zhao Jun's buttocks, collecting Donghu's surrendered troops along the way.
Half a month later, Li Mu led the rendezvous Great Wall Army to the Black Wolf Tribe not far away.
This is the most powerful tribe in Donghu and the last large tribe in Donghu, except for all tribes with a population of more than 10,000, all extinction.
"General, do you want to rush directly?" Sima Shang looked at the black wolf tribe not far away, licked his lips and said.
"Rush directly!" Li Mu said, to deal with a group of Rong Di, if you don't rush directly, is there any strategy that you can't pay attention to.
"Two generals, two generals, don't attack, don't attack, we surrender." At this time, a horse galloped from the tribe, and after seeing Li Mu, he roared excitedly.
Li Mu and Sima Shang glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.
The Zhao army wiped out so many Donghu tribes, and many surrendered, but this was the first one who surrendered when they came up.
Of course, Fan Tong can't be counted.
He was originally from Zhao.
"The small one has admired Zhao Guo for a long time, and he has long wanted to return to Zhao State, but he has no way, and now he has finally met the two generals, and the little one is willing to lead the entire tribe to submit to Zhao State." Tai Lu, the leader of the Black Wolf Tribe, knelt in front of Zhao Jun and said extremely reverently, as if it were true.
"Do you speak our Zhao dialect?" Li Mu asked.
"Of course, since the last time he was defeated by the general, the little one has been learning the Zhao dialect hard, just so that one day he can saddle the horse for His Majesty King Zhao, if he can see the holy face of King Zhao one day, the little one will have no regrets even if he dies." Tai Ji said.
"You can talk, but don't think that's how I'm going to let you go. I'll tell you the truth, Ben Jiang came this time to pacify Donghu." Li Mu said in a deep voice.
"Where did the general say, after the small surrender, aren't we just a family, what did the general do to pacify Donghu and the small one? But if the general needs a small help, just give me the order." The resentment in Tai Ji's eyes flashed, but in the face of the powerful Zhao army, and the even more powerful Zhao State behind him, he could only bow his noble head and pray that Zhao Guo could spare him
and the life of the people.
"In that case, let's move the Black Wolf Tribe into Sene." Li Mu waved his hand and said.
"Move into Sene?" Tai was stunned for a moment.
Although he surrendered to the Zhao army as a last resort, there was still an element of gambling in it, and all the major tribes of Donghu, including the king of Donghu, were all wiped out by the Zhao army, and even Su Shen was severely damaged by the Zhao army.
The only one whose strength is intact is the Black Wolf Tribe remains.
As long as he obediently surrenders to Zhao Jun, when Zhao Jun leaves, he will have the final say in the entire Donghu alone.
He is the veritable king of Donghu.
Even if you are a vassal to Zhao State, it is worth paying tribute every year.
And if Zhao wants to control the Northeast, he also needs a spokesperson to stand up, otherwise he can't solve the problem by killing alone.
The nomads on the steppe are like leeks, they can't be killed after they cut one stubble.
But what Tai Ji didn't expect was that Li Mu would actually move his entire tribe into Senei.
Doesn't Zhao need a spokesperson in the Northeast?
"What? You don't want to?" Li Mu asked in a deep voice, and behind him, Zhao Jun raised his weapon with a brush.
"No, no, it's a small honor to be able to move into Sene, the little one has long wanted to live at the feet of the Son of Heaven and feel the enlightenment of the Son of Heaven every day, but it has not been realized because of the long distance and the mountains." Tai Ji hurriedly said.
At this time, he dared to hesitate, Zhao Jun would definitely not let them go.
"Then you can come with us, the Black Wolf Tribe would have notified Fan Tong to send someone to come and receive it." Li Mu said.
"With the General? Where to go?" Tai Lu asked suspiciously, the Black Wolf Tribe is already the last tribe in Donghu, shouldn't Zhao Jun return to China now?
"Of course, it was to attack Su Shen and provoke my Zhao State, do you still want to stay out of the matter?" Li Mu said in a deep voice.
Tai Ji suddenly shuddered, although he was also a powerhouse in the Transcendent Realm, and the cold and heat did not invade, he still felt a chill, and silently mourned for Su Shen in his heart.
Zhao Jun did not take any rest, but rushed to Su Shen non-stop along the way.
Zhao Guo is far from knowing Su Shen as thoroughly as he does about Donghu, but he is not ignorant, after all, Su Shen occupies the fertile soil of the Northeast, and when Zhao Guo explores the Northeast, how can he bypass Su Shen.
Su Shen and Donghu border, there are often conflicts between the two tribes, in the past it has always been Donghu who has the upper hand, but since Donghu suffered a heavy blow from Zhao, it has become Su Shen who has the upper hand.
In recent years, Donghu has suffered a lot of losses, and even ceded some grassland to Su Shen.
After three days of rapid marching, the Zhao army finally encountered the first Sushen tribe.
This was destined to be an unequal war, and in just a quarter of an hour, this unknown small tribe was captured by the Zhao army, and the cattle and sheep they had accumulated for many years also became the food and grass of the Zhao army.
After resting for a while, Zhao Jun turned over his horse and hurried to the next tribe.
At this moment, Fan Tong sent someone to deliver the letter.
This letter has been on the road since ten days ago, but Zhao Jun has been non-stop all the way, and the messenger who delivered the letter has chased all the way with three horses, and it is only today that he catches up.
"General, General, Zhonglang will let you return to the army quickly." When the envoy saw Li Mu, he said excitedly.
Fan Tong was named the general of Hu Zhonglang by Zhao Kuo, so the envoy called Fan Tong the general of Zhonglang.
"What's wrong?" Li Mu hurriedly stopped.
"There is a prince in Donghu who escaped and asked for reinforcements from Gaoyi, Hao, and Jizi Joseon, and General Zhonglang is not an opponent, so he can only lead his subordinates to retreat." The messenger said.
"Gaoyi, Miko, and Miko Joseon? They also dare to be enemies of my Zhao Kingdom?" Li Mu turned his head suddenly, and a boundless murderous aura permeated from his body.
Li Mu was not angry about Fan Tong's defeat, the Zhao army was all under his command, and Fan Tong only had some Hu people in his hands, and he could not guarantee his loyalty, and it was normal to not be able to defeat the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
But the three small countries dared to be enemies of Zhao, which he did not expect.
Or is it in Li Mu's heart
I didn't take these small countries seriously at all.
"Captive...... Almost all of the captives were rescued by them, but fortunately, the kings of Donghu and Sushen had already sent people to Handan first, and they did not fall into their hands." The messenger said.
"Ben will know, pass the order, turn around and return to the army!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.
"It seems that the prestige of my Zhao Kingdom is not enough, even a small country dares to come to pick up my Zhao Kingdom's tiger beard." Sima Shang was extremely angry, if it weren't for the fact that the places occupied by these small countries were too desolate and there were mountains blocking them, and the Zhao State couldn't look down on them, where would it be their turn?
Zhao Guo didn't do anything to them, these small countries thought that Zhao Guo was afraid of them, and took the initiative to provoke Zhao Guo, I really don't know how the dead word is written.
Zhao Jun went all the way south, and five days later, he met Fan Tong, who fled all the way and was embarrassed.
Fan Tong was happier to see Li Mu than his relatives, and hugged Li Mu's thigh excitedly: "I finally saw the general, if the general doesn't come again, his subordinates will die at the hands of these Rong Di."
"It's because I didn't think it through, I didn't expect these small countries to make Mr. suffer." Li Mu said apologetically.
"It's good if the general is back, it's good if the general is back." Fan Tong said happily.
"How many people are in the back?" Li Mu looked behind Fan Tong, and it was obvious that there were pursuers in pursuit.
"I don't know, thousands." Fan Tong said that it was too late for him to escape, where would he have time to count how many people were chasing him.
Li Mu glanced at Sima Shang, and Sima Shang understood and led the Great Wall Army to meet him.
