After fighting for so long and killing so many people, the tribes of the Eastern Barbarians were already a little tired of the war. Now that they have lost the backbone of Shanyu, their hearts are suddenly scattered.
Everyone has selfish motives. Although the tribe in charge of the rear palace is a direct descendant of Shanyu, but now that Shanyu has been captured, they are unable to rescue him, so they naturally want to preserve their strength.
The firepower of the muskets made the cavalry a little scared.
As long as those black tubes spit out fire, several of them would die. It was really terrible!
The way of survival on the grassland has always been the law of the jungle, which is extremely cruel.
The cavalry at the rear had been protected by Shanyu before, and had offended too many tribes.
Now that Shanyu has been captured, they will definitely be targeted by other tribes after they return. If too many people die here, they will not even have a chance to resist.
In fact, this is the reason why Jin Feng ordered Wei Shengjun to hunt them down.
Although Shan Yu was captured, the forces under his command are still very strong. If someone takes over, it is likely that the grassland situation will be stabilized quickly.
Now that Dakang is still in chaos, Jin Feng really doesn't want to be distracted from dealing with the Eastern Barbarians, and he doesn't have the energy.
Unlike Tubo and Dangxiang, both Tubo and Dangxiang are very close to Sichuan and Sichuan. If there is any change, Jin Feng can send reinforcements at any time.
However, Dongman is too far away from Sichuan and Shu. If something happens here, it will take a long time for the news to reach Jinchuan.
For example, this time, the Eastern Barbarians restrained the airship and carrier pigeons, and Liu Tie's distress letter could not be sent out. It was Jin Feng who learned of the existence of Hai Dongqing and realized that something might have happened in Yuguan City, and then sent Zhenyuan No. 1 to check the situation.
.
As a result, Zhenyuan No. 1 was sunk by the enemy, and the news about Yuguan City was almost not sent out.
The best way to solve this trouble is to let the Eastern Barbarians, like Tubo, cause chaos on their own.
In this case, they will fight among themselves and not bother to cause trouble for Dakang.
From the current point of view, Jin Feng's method is quite effective. Since Niu Ben killed Gada, Tubo has never had any trouble again.
It was precisely because of this successful case that Jin Feng asked Tiehuying and the female workers to take the risk to ambush Shanyu, and asked Weisheng's army to pursue the cavalry at the rear.
It's a pity that the grassland is the home ground of the cavalry, so it is very suitable for the horse to run away.
No matter how powerful the muskets were, they could not leave too many enemies behind, and the main cavalry force finally fled.
In fact, if Jin Feng had given the order earlier and ordered the pursuit when the enemy's main force had just begun to retreat, the results might have been greater. Bayi Chinese Website
But in this way, if the enemy's main force counterattacks, the Weisheng Army and the Musketeers will be surrounded.
Even if they succeed in breaking through in the end, there is a high probability that they will suffer heavy casualties.
Jin Feng was unwilling to do this kind of life-for-life approach, so he deliberately delayed for a while before letting Wei Shengjun go out.
In this way, fewer enemies will be killed, and the advantage is that one's own casualties will be much less. Jin Feng thinks it is a good deal.
After the enemy withdrew, Wei Sheng's army quickly returned to the city, but Liu Tie and Chen Fengzhi did not come back. The two led the Tiehu Camp far behind the rear cavalry and followed them northward for dozens of miles to confirm the eastward direction.
After the barbarians really left, they returned to Yuguan City.
The return of Liu Tie and others also marked the complete end of the siege of Yuguan City.
That night, bonfires were everywhere in the open space in Yuguan City. Jin Feng first paid homage to the bodyguards and female soldiers who died in the battle, and then ordered people to kill sheep and cattle to comfort the surviving soldiers and those who had come from afar.
Weisheng Army and Donghai Navy came for reinforcements.
Although the war is over, there are still many things to follow.
For example, the reconstruction of houses in the city, or the mountains of corpses piled up outside the city, these are all problems.
Jin Feng first asked Mr. Tian to write a battle report to report the victory to the Ninth Princess who was far away in Jinchuan, so as to reassure Guan Xiaorou and the others.
Then Jin Feng summoned Qing Mulan, Zuo Feifei, Meng Tianhai, Zheng Chiyuan and others to discuss post-war reconstruction matters.
"Let's first talk about what to do with the corpses outside the city?"
Jin Feng said: "It's okay now that it's cold, but once the corpses thaw and rot in the spring of next year, it will soon cause a plague, so these corpses must be disposed of before the spring of next year!"
"This problem is easy to handle," Meng Tianhai was the first to speak: "We have captured so many Jin-Barbarian coalition forces, so we can't let them just eat for free. Let them dig holes and bury all the corpses."
Jin Feng's thoughts had been on the Eastern Barbarians before, and he almost forgot that they also captured a group of prisoners south of the city.
Wei Shengjun was always in charge of the prisoners, so Jin Feng turned around and asked, "How are the prisoners placed?"
"I haven't bothered to take care of them recently, so I just surrounded them and left them alone." Meng Tianhai said: "But the brother in charge of guarding told me that they found that some Eastern Barbarians were dishonest. Seeing that we had few guards, they thought
Inciting Jin people to flee."
"Here is a wilderness for hundreds of miles from south to north, and it's still snowing. Even if they ran away, where could they go?" Liu Tie sneered.
"That's right. I really don't know what they think." Meng Tianhai said.
The reason why he assigned so few people to guard so many prisoners was because he knew they couldn't escape.
"What was Jin Min's reaction? Do they want to run away?" Jin Feng asked.
"The Eastern Barbarians forced the Jin people to attack the city from the front. Now the Jin people hate the Eastern Barbarians to death, so naturally they will not listen to them."
Meng Tianhai replied: "Actually, the Eastern Barbarians were secretly inciting the incitement, and it was the Jin people who secretly reported it to the brothers who were guarding them."
"That's good," Jin Feng nodded slightly.
In fact, he knew that the captured Jin people were also pitiful people. They were just strong men brought by the King of Jin to transport food and serve as cannon fodder. The fault of the war lay with the King of Jin, Feng Shicai, and those Eastern Barbarian generals, not with these poor people.
of strong men.
If the war continues, Jin Feng will not be merciful, but now that the war is over, Jin Feng does not want to put these poor people to death.
After all, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang. When the Jin Dynasty is recovered in the future, these people will also be the people of the new Dakang.
"Sir, since we are talking about prisoners, what do you think we will do next?" Meng Tianhai asked: "Are we going to separate the Eastern barbarians and the Jin people?"
Jin Feng pondered for a moment, and then replied: "No need."
"No need?" Meng Tianhai was stunned.
Prisoners are most taboo about someone inciting trouble. One of the main reasons why Jin Feng was able to defeat Danzhu in Damang Slope was that he arranged for Han Feng and others to sneak into the prisoner camp and planned for the captured people to resist together and let them go.
captured the Tibetan war horses.
Now we know clearly that the Eastern Barbarians are inciting the Jin people, and if we don't separate them, something will happen sooner or later.
Just when Qing Mulan was about to persuade Jin Feng, she heard Jin Feng speak again: "Behead all the Eastern Barbarians among the prisoners!"
