Chapter 124: Capture the Army

The Colliers guards left behind more than 1,500 corpses, which shows the fierceness of the battle, most of them were axe-wielding soldiers, and more than 3,100 prisoners who did not have time to escape back to the gates.

There was hardly any argument, and the captives were pressed under the mountain, beheaded one by one.

These people are also tough, and the knife holder is silent on the neck.

He didn't resist, he didn't cry, he didn't beg for mercy, his eyes were numb and indifferent, waiting for the blade to come.

Among them, there are not all high-eyed people, but also many Jin, Qiang, Di, and Xianbei people......

Guanzhong was successively plagued by Shi Bin and Shi Bao, anger and hatred have been endured for a long time, Liang Qian raised his arms and shouted, and in a few months, more than 100,000 people and horses were gathered, and they slaughtered towards Yecheng......

It's just that this kind of rebellion in history, although it shook the foundation of the dynasty, it was difficult to go to the end.

According to the custom, the human head was piled up into a Jingguan and headed towards the Tiger Prison.

Blood stained the earth red again.

Although the thief army has 100,000 people, its core combat power will never exceed 20,000, especially the thousands of axe-wielding armor soldiers, who will be in front of the battle and go directly to half of them.

Guan Shang seemed to be stunned by this tragic battle, and stood on the city wall one by one, without the previous arrogance.

Li Yue counted the casualties of his headquarters, killed more than 330 people, and slightly and seriously wounded 1,560 people......

Six thousand foot cavalry, nearly a third of the casualties.

The soldiers collected the corpses, many of which were already incomplete, but Li Yue insisted on sending them back to Heiyun Mountain in an ox cart for burial, so that their souls could be at peace.

Every fallen soldier is a brave man, and proper arrangement of them is actually to give peace to the hearts of the living.

Shi Min's cavalry suffered even heavier casualties, less than 300 of the more than 1,000 fierce and daring men remained, and only 500 of the 2,000 war horses returned.

But the price is worth it.

It curbed the arrogance of the Colliers Praetorian Guards, and at the same time made Heiyun Mountain famous.

Li Yue's name also began to circulate among the beggar army.

The attitudes of the beggars around him are obviously different, and even Zhang Liang, who reprimanded him, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, losing his original anger.

The treatment of the Black Cloud Army has obviously improved a lot, meat is given priority, and Li Nong also rewarded 500 jars of wine.

Li Yue couldn't help muttering in his heart, no wonder Li Nong was defeated repeatedly, and he sent women and wine.

Around that year, Zhao Zhengxiong, the former Zhao lord Liu Yaoxiong was strong and mighty, with infinite strength, an arrow could pierce through the iron plate more than an inch thick, known as the divine shooting, and the only two hobbies were wine and the queen of sheep......

In the first battle of Pusaka, Shi Hu fled in despair, and Shi Min's father was killed after the battle was broken.

Shi Le had no choice but to send troops to fight Liu Yao in three ways.

The decisive battle between the two armies and Luoyang, Liu Yao drank several fights, drunk and led the troops, and during the decisive battle, he drank more than one bucket, handled Xiyangmen, couldn't walk, and was finally captured by Shi Lesheng, and the former Zhao perished so inexplicably......

After retreating to Xingyang City, Li Yuecai let the soldiers drink smoothly.

Five hundred jars of wine, each person can only get one or two bowls, naturally it can't be compared with Liu Yao.

Xingyang is the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight, the war on the land of China, many of them are happening in this place, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin and Chu fought for hegemony, there was a great war here, Qin annihilated Han, Xingyang was an important town, overlooking the Central Plains, and the heavy troops and grain and grass were gathered in this place.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, and fought with the Qin army here, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, and Liu Xiang fought repeatedly, and finally took the gap in the east of Xingyang as the boundary.

Like Fangtou, Xingyang is also a hub for water transportation, and King Wei Hui opened a chasm and opened an opening in the north of Xingyang (Xingkou) to lead the Yellow River into the main beam. Qin Shi Huang dredged the gap to pass Huai and Si, and transported grain from the north and south of the Huai River to Aocang in Xingyang.

However, Shi Zhao set the capital of Yecheng, perverse, Xingyang is definitely not as good as back then, Shi Hu also turned a large area of land east of Xinyang into a hunting ground, once people hurt the beast, inflicted torture such as waist beheading, car splitting......

The southern city is slightly dilapidated, a broken wall, and there are few living people.

I don't know if he escaped or was hidden by the Zheng family.

Wild grass grows in the middle of the road, and occasionally one or two dry bones can be seen in the corners, and I don't know how many years they have been dead, and no one has cleaned them up.

On the willow trees on the side of the street hung several emaciated corpses, apparently a family of old and young, swaying with the spring breeze......

Shi Hu built a large number of buildings, repeatedly raised hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer the Quartet, an edict, let the people pay grain, handover people, and also asked each household to hand over a car, a cow or a horse within a time limit, and those who failed to pay within the time limit were punished by Da Pi.

The people were forced to commit suicide by hanging their families from trees.

In this war, Shi Hu successively eliminated more than 100,000 troops, which was another disaster for the people......

Of course, no matter how miserable the people are, the Zheng family and other wealthy families are still doing well.

Xingyang City seems to be divided into two halves, the southern city is desolate, but the northern city is quite lively, with many mansions and courtyards.

Taishou Zheng Du thoughtfully arranged a mansion for the generals and leaders, and invited Li Nong into the Zheng Mansion.

"Leader Li is young and promising, and he has offended many times before, it was all a misunderstanding, and I hope that the leader will ignore his previous suspicions." Zheng Du served Li Yue even more carefully, and the mansion arranged was second only to the Zheng family in the city, extremely luxurious, and there were nearly four or five hundred maids in the mansion, who hugged each other.

In contrast, it is as if the corpses hanging on the old willows in the city are from another world.

"It's too much trouble, but I jumped here just to fight the thief, and I should live with the soldiers."

Li Yue couldn't get used to living in this kind of place.

Besides, Shi Min didn't live in such a luxurious mansion and lived by himself, what did he think?

Zheng Du's sycophant was obviously shot by the wrong person.

But this is also normal, Shi Min is still just a miscellaneous general so far, and he is not inconspicuous.

"Haha, the leader loves soldiers like a son, and famous generals since ancient times are just like that......" Zheng Du opened his mouth wide, and the sycophants rolled in.

"It's too conservative and praised, the Zheng family has supported Heiyun Mountain several times, and I keep it in mind, there are many miscellaneous things in the army, so I will retire first." Li Yue didn't even have any interest in being false and wronged.

Zheng Du was waiting for this sentence, "Then don't disturb the leader, if there is anything lacking in the army, but please make it clear." ”

"Thank you!" Li Yue gave up his hand and left.

After the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Li Nong seemed to have seen it, and he didn't ask anything about the military, and threw it to Shi Min, Zhang Liang, Li Yue, and Chang Wei.

Zhang Liang was very acquainted and silent, Li Yue kept a low profile, and the military power basically fell into Shi Min's hands.

"The momentum of the thief army has been depressed, and the Xingyang soldiers have a lot of grain and grass, which can revive their morale!" Shi Min was quite high-spirited.

Li Yue said: "Now that it has entered March, it is about to be cultivated, and this battle cannot be postponed for too long, otherwise it will affect spring ploughing, and the Central Plains will be starved all over the land." ”

The thief army is completely a thief style, and everywhere they go, they will divide their troops to loot the surrounding area, burn and kill and plunder the grass.

Chang Wei cast an approving look, "The Central Plains side has endured floods, plagues, and dire straits, and then a military robbery, I am afraid of countless deaths and injuries." ”

"Why January? A certain selection of elites, equipped with ironclad blades, strict training, within 20 days, will break the thief army! Shi Min waved his hand, and he was arrogant.

Zhang Liang next to him was silent.

Shi Min did what he said, and directly transferred Dong Yan and Zhang Wen to his command, and then selected the elite of the beggar army, equipped with the sophisticated equipment in the Xingyang arsenal, and formed a new army of 7,000 people.

The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were assigned to Zhang Liang.

In this way, Zhang Liang was almost overlooked.

Zhang Liang dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so he simply said that he was sick and ignored military affairs.
