"Remember, none of these cavalrymen and crossbowmen are allowed to stay!"
Jin Feng turned around and gave the order.
"yes!"
The messenger immediately rushed out with the order.
The Tielin Army had heavy crossbows before, but the number was very small, only a few, and the efficiency was too low. It took a long time to string and refill each arrow fired, and it had little impact on the battle situation.
In the past few days, the Dangxiang people were busy gathering Han slaves from the city, and there was no attack. Jin Feng had nothing to do, so he modified it and installed it on the mountain, preparing to use it to behead the opponent when the Dangxiang people attacked next time.
general.
Mr. Zhao felt it was not worth it to expose this trump card to a few unimportant soldiers.
However, for the sake of Jin Feng's prestige, he just frowned and did not question.
Under the escort of party members, the Han slaves gradually approached the phalanx.
At this time, the phalanx was in a T-shaped formation for receiving prisoners, and the Han slaves needed to pass through a passage more than 100 meters long.
The passage is lined with sharp bamboos like a forest. If someone has bad intentions when passing by, they will definitely be stung into a hornet's nest.
The Han slaves had never seen such a battle before, and they were so frightened that they stopped moving forward.
"Don't be afraid, we are all Han people, we will not harm you, just go there boldly and be careful not to get close to the shield."
Xu Xiao shouted loudly.
Behind them, the party members also began to drive them away with whips.
"Let's go, the worst is death. I've had enough of this kind of life. It's better to die at the hands of the Han than to be tortured to death by the beasts of the party."
An old Hannu man walking in front took the lead into the passage.
This old man used to be highly respected in the village. As soon as he entered, someone immediately followed him.
If someone takes the lead, the rest will be much smoother.
The Han slaves lined up and entered the passage one after another.
It was still orderly at first, but when a party soldier following behind waved a machete as if to kill someone, the team suddenly became chaotic.
The most terrifying thing in life is not despair, but that after experiencing a long period of despair, you finally see a glimmer of hope, and when you are about to escape, your hope is shattered.
The life of the Han slaves in Dangxiang was worse than that of pigs and dogs. Many people were despairing and no longer feared death.
But now that they finally saw the hope of returning to the Central Plains, their desire for survival was rekindled, and they rushed forward, fearing that they would be hacked to death by party members on the last step home if they ran too slow.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
The flag bearer next to Jin Feng raised the flag and waved it a few times, and the crossbowman on the opposite mountain who had been prepared immediately pulled the trigger!
Whoosh!
A heavy arrow as thick as an egg flew out, with a sharp whistling sound, and crossed a distance of several hundred meters.
The hit party cavalry was as if hit by a galloping horse, and flew directly from the horse!
The arrow passed through the party cavalry without stopping, and then passed through the horse of the cavalry behind him before being nailed to the cliff with a bang.
A large piece of rock was broken off.
This is the power of the heavy crossbow!
But this is just the beginning.
Whoosh!…
Several more arrows flew towards him.
Each arrow takes away at least one party cavalry.
One of them had a better angle, and it only stopped after killing four people in succession.
The remaining cavalrymen of the party no longer cared about driving away the Han slaves, and they all slapped their horses and fled back.
The crossbowmen on the mountain immediately turned around and pursued him.
Mr. Jin said that none of these cavalrymen are allowed to stay.
Then let them all die!
How can a war horse outrun an arrow?
Before the cavalry could escape from the canyon, they were all shot to death by arrows.
The crossbowmen on the mountain were all still unfinished.
It used to take five people to play the heavy crossbow, but now it only takes two people.
Moreover, the winding speed is faster and less labor-intensive, it can also fire continuously, and it can also change the direction flexibly.
The heavy crossbow modified by Mr. Jin is also very useful!
It's a pity that there were too few cavalry to escort the Han slaves, only a dozen or so, and they all died before they had enough fighting...
Li Jikui drove the Han slaves into Qingshui Valley just to fill the horse trap and test the reaction of the Tielin Army to see if there was a chance to take advantage of the chaos and attack Qingshui Valley.
Unfortunately, the Tielin Army was well prepared and had no flaws. Facing the phalanx of the party's cavalry, it always maintained an attacking posture.
Li Jikui sighed helplessly and withdrew the cavalry that was preparing to launch a surprise attack behind Han Nu.
Being able to force the Tielin Army to use the heavy crossbow was not a wasted trip.
"There must be some fine work among these Han slaves."
Mr. Zhao reminded: "Sir, Zhang Qiwei is good at scheming, but he is not good at commanding the army. You'd better remind him again."
"good."
Jin Feng nodded and prepared to go to the prisoner of war camp.
As a result, as soon as we stepped off the high ground, we saw Zhang Qiwei bringing someone here.
"Congratulations to General Jin for his great victory and saving thousands of suffering Dakang people. Your merits are immeasurable!"
Zhang Qiwei cupped his hands and said.
There was a sincere smile on his face, and a look of envy that he tried hard to hide but couldn't.
Over the years, Dangxiang has plundered a large number of people from the border areas and brought them back as slaves every year.
In the battle between Dakang and Dangxiang, there were occasionally victories once or twice, but the return of Han slaves never happened.
Jin Feng rescued so many Han slaves this time, which can be said to have created another historical precedent.
In terms of merit in the future, this is another significant achievement, and it is estimated that it will not be inferior to the previous battles.
"General Zhang, you're welcome."
Jin Feng nodded and said: "These people have suffered a lot in Dangxiang, and I hope that General Zhang can safely accommodate them.
However, among these common people, there may be party members who are doing something clever, so General Zhang must be careful in dealing with it."
"Don't worry, General Jin, I will definitely ask someone to distinguish it carefully."
"General Zhang is tired."
Jin Feng asked: "By the way, General Zhang is not accepting civilians in the prisoner of war camp. Is there anything wrong with coming to see me?"
"General Jin really has a keen eye," Zhang Qiwei flattered him, and then said, "I really have a small matter to trouble the general."
"General Zhang, please speak."
"It's like this. There are thousands of party prisoners and civilians in total. We, the Dening Army, cannot afford it."
Zhang Qiwei said: "I hope General Jin can write a military report for me to prove that I took over the captives and returned civilians of the Tielin Army, so that I can go to the Arms Department to collect food."
"I'm sorry, I've been too busy these days and forgot about this."
Jin Feng patted his head: "General Zhang, wait a moment, I'll get it right away."
"It's time to work."
Zhang Qiwei cupped his hands and said.
Jin Feng returned to the big tent, and Mr. Zhao immediately followed him in and reminded:
"Sir, with this military certificate, it means that the Dening Army assisted the Tielin Army. This is a clear indication of taking advantage of the Tielin Army."
"When Tielin Jun eats meat, he always leaves some soup for others to drink. It's not good to eat alone."
Jin Feng said with a smile: "Besides, this advantage is not so easy to take advantage of."
"How to say?"
Mr. Zhao asked curiously.
Jin Feng smiled and did not answer. He happily wrote the military report and handed it to Zhang Qiwei.
