Chapter 5 Baiyue pacified
Although the land of Baiyue is wide, Baiyue exists in the form of a tribe. There are not a hundred small tribes, and there are only tens of thousands of large tribes. They fight each other and cannot gather together.
Furthermore, Baiyue did not have advanced civilization and developed technology, which was far inferior to the Qin Dynasty. This led to the fact that Baiyue did not have weapons with fine grain, and the Qin army had excellent equipment, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.
Not to mention, Baiyue has no strict orders and no battle formation. As long as it fights, it is the same as the Huns and Donghu, and it rushes forward. If the war is unfavorable, there will be no chance of turning the tables.
When the Baiyue army encounters the Qin army, it is no match for it. It cannot be defeated. It is killed by the Qin army and blood flows into a river.
At the beginning, Baiyue did not know the power of the Qin army and did not take the Qin army seriously. After the Qin army showed its power and killed a lot, Baiyue finally realized the power of the Qin army and was frightened and frightened.
However, the Qin army's killing was only the beginning. Once the Qin army passed through the Five Ridges and entered Lingnan, they divided their troops to kill them.
The Baiyue army was poorly equipped, had not undergone rigorous training, and had no advanced tactics and tactics, which posed no threat to the Qin army. There was no need to gather the Qin army together. Wang Jian divided the troops at the right time, and put tens of thousands of people into a team to fight around.
Even so, the Baiyue army could not resist the Qin army's offensive, and the Qin army was progressing smoothly, as if they were entering a no-man's land.
The Qin army not only chased the Yue people's residence, but also chased and killed the mountains and fields. The situation of Baiyue is very different from that of the Central Plains. It belongs to the jungle area. The battle in Baiyue is a jungle battle. For this reason, Wang Jian specially selected similar terrains for training, and the Qin army is not unfamiliar with jungle battles.
"How come these damn Qin soldiers are so good at hiking into the jungle? They are not bad at all compared to us."
"I really didn't expect that these Qin troops ran so fast in the jungle and shot so accurately. I originally thought this was our paradise, but I didn't expect that this was the paradise of the Qin troops."
"The Qin army is so terrible. They are extremely sharp when chopping and killing, are proficient in riding and archery, and are also good at hiking the jungle. What else can they not know about?"
The Yue tribe, who was chased by the Qin army, was desperate and depressed.
These Yue people lived in Lingnan for generations and were very familiar with the jungles of Lingnan. They originally thought they could rely on this point to deal with the Qin army, but they did not expect that the Qin army was also good at hiking the jungle. No matter where they fled, they would be caught by the Qin army.
Being good at leaping into the jungle is the master skill of the Yue tribe. Even this is compared by the Qin army. How can they not despair?
Once caught up by the Qin army, eight out of ten of them will be killed.
The reason why the Qin army wanted to carry out such a massacre was to establish authority and let the Yue people know the power of the Qin army and dare not have another silence.
Although the State of Chu was nominally obtained the Baiyue Land for hundreds of years, it could not be effectively controlled. This made the Yue people arrogant and thought that the people of the Central Plains were just like this. Only by letting them die and injured could they know the power of the Qin army and not dare to betray again. This massacre was necessary.
This time the Qin army marched into Lingnan without encountering decent resistance. It was a one-sided massacre. Wherever the Qin army passed, it must be a bloody road.
In this way, the Qin army made rapid progress and soon arrived at the front line of Guilin to rest, recover, replenish military equipment, and prepare for another battle.
In history, after 500,000 Qin troops crossed Lingnan, they fought very smoothly. However, they could no longer fight when they hit the Guilin front line. It was not that the Qin army was not good at fighting, but because the Qin army's logistics supply could not be raised. At that time, there was no spiritual repair canal, and the Qin army's supplies had to be transported from land to Wuling.
The Wuling terrain is dangerous and the road is difficult to move. It is not easy to supply a 500,000 army. The Qin army has no food, no clothes, and its morale is low. If the battle is smooth, it is a fantasy.
For this matter, Qin Shihuang visited Changsha twice. Finally, Shi Lu proposed to build the Ling Canal and use water to transport it to solve the Qin army's baggage.
Now, Qin Yiren made preparations in advance, built the Lingqu Canal, established the Guilin Camp, and stored a large amount of supplies in Guilin. He did not worry about not enough, but only worry about not using them.
After the Qin army took a break on the front line of Guilin, the morale became even higher and the fighting spirit became fierce, and they embarked on the journey again.
After the Qin army entered Lingnan, the main thing was to kill, and few Yue tribes surrendered. However, after passing the Guilin front line, the Qin army killed less and less, because after the Qin army's massacre, Yue tribes were afraid and came to surrender one after another.
Killing is not the purpose, it is just a means, in order to shock the people of Yue, so that they know the power of the Qin army and dare not develop a betrayal again.
Now that the purpose has been achieved, there is no need to commit a big killing. Wang Jian ordered the surrender of the Yue tribe at the right time. The Yue tribe who received the news of surrender was happy, and it was even more joyful than the New Year, because it was finally able to survive.
Of course, there are also some large tribes who do not know the height of the world and want to resist, but they are severely attacked by the Qin army, with countless casualties and wounded, and some tribes are even slaughtered by the Qin army.
The Borg tribe is a large tribe in Baiyue, with a population of 40,000 or 50,000. The leader is Bogya, who is an old acquaintance of Qin Yiren. This person once participated in the genre ceremony and entered the top ten.
At this time, Bogya was already the leader of the Borg tribe. He summoned his subordinates to the tent and said to his subordinates: "You have already known about the Qin army's going south. The Qin army's military is very sharp, and it is the blood of the Yue people..."!
As soon as his words began, a shouting sounded, and the men shouted: "Sir, please give me an order, we will avenge the people of Yue."
"Yes, we need to take revenge! How can the Qin army run rampant and kill arbitrarily in our Yue people? This revenge must be avenged!"
"If you don't take this revenge, you will not be a human being."
After the Qin army entered Lingnan, they launched a large-scale killing. Although it was very good to achieve the purpose of shocking the Yue people, it also made the Yue people very angry, especially these large tribes, who thought they were full of words and wanted to avenge them.
"Shut up!" Bogeya shouted, like a thunderclap, and said, "I'm summoning you here today, not discussing how to avenge revenge, but to tell you that the Boge tribe will surrender to the Qin Dynasty."
"What?" A scream sounded, and the subordinates stared at each of them with disbelief.
"Why should we surrender? Our Borg tribe is a large tribe in Lingnan, with more than 40,000 people. If not, we will never surrender."
"That's right. We will not surrender even if we die. We vow to deal with the Qin army to the end."
The subordinates shouted loudly, each of them looked unannoyed.
"Enough!" Bogya shouted in a deep voice, like a thunderclap, and these subordinates were unwilling to shut up.
"Have you been to the Central Plains? Do you know how big the Central Plains are? Do you know how big the Central Plains are?" Bogeya's eyes flashed and he asked loudly at his subordinates, saying, "You have not been to the Central Plains, you don't know. I have been to the Central Plains, I know how big the Central Plains are, and how many people are there in the Central Plains."
Speaking of this, the tone turned high, slightly sharp and harsh, and said, "Our tribe covers an area of about 200 miles, but there are hundreds of 200 miles in the Central Plains; our tribe has more than 40,000 people, and the people in the Central Plains are four or five hundred times that of ours. Even if the people in the Central Plains are spit, they can drown us all..."
"Sir, are you joking? How can the Central Plains be that big? There won't be so many people, right?" Some subordinates didn't believe it.
"That's right." A concise sounded.
Most of the Yue tribes are frogs in the well. I don’t know how big the Central Plains are, or how many people there are. It’s really difficult to believe that this is true.
"Hmph!" Bogya snorted coldly and said, "You don't need your pig brain to think about it. The army entering Lingnan this time in the Central Plains will have 500,000. If there were no large number of people in the Central Plains, could they send so many troops? Not to mention anything else, only these 500,000 troops are ten times that of people in our entire tribe, ten times more."
This was so shocking that the men were stunned by the shock. All of them opened their mouths wide and looked shocked.
"Not to mention that the Qin army has excellent equipment, strict orders, and a dignified formation. How can we fight against the Qin army?" Bogya said in a deep voice: "If we do not surrender now and the Qin army enters the suppression, we will be too late and we will all die."
"Sir, even if what you said is true, we cannot rush to surrender, right? Even if we want to surrender, we have to take a look and ask the Qin army for some benefits."
"Yes, that's what it means."
The subordinates are still dreaming.
"Your dream is beautiful, but it is to bring disaster to us." Bogya said coldly, "Do you know who Qin Yiren is? He can only take advantage of it, not suffer losses. He wants to get benefits from him unless the sun rises from the west. I have seen him extortion with his own eyes, King Zhao, Lord Pingyuan, Lord Xinling, and Lord Chunshen, which one is better to share with him? If you don't give me the benefits, you will suffer a great loss if you dare to say no. Now, 500,000 Qin troops have entered Lingnan, either surrender or die, and the Qin troops will not give us benefits."
Bogeya participated in the trophy ceremony and saw with his own eyes the extortion of Qin Yiren's grand ceremony. King Zhao Xiaocheng, Pingyuan Jun, Xinling Jun and Chunshen Jun were only able to hold back their weight in front of him. This incident left Bogeya a deep impression on him.
Of course, his words are reasonable. Qin Yiren can only take advantage of it, not suffer losses. If he suffers, he will gain a greater advantage. The Borg army and the Qin army are not at the same level at all. What should I do to talk to the Qin army?
If you really want to talk about it, it will inevitably lead to the anger of the Qin army, and the Borg troops will be killed or injured.
This time, the Qin army went south and conquered Lingnan, another purpose was to establish authority. Anyone who dared to challenge the situation would be massacred. Only in this way would the Yue people be afraid and dare not rebel.
My subordinates knew that Bogya had entered the Central Plains, and after hearing this, they were all speechless and dared not refute it.
"This matter is decided." Bogya immediately made the decision.
After the decision, Bogya went to see Wang Jian himself and requested to surrender.
The Borg tribe was a large tribe in the Baiyue land, and its surrender was a weather vane. Wang Jian accepted the surrender of the Borg tribe.
As soon as this spread, more Yue tribes surrendered. Next, the Qin army's advance was just a journey, and they arrived in Panyu (now Guangzhou) without any bloodshed.
At this point, the land of Baiyue has been pacified.
