Chapter Thirteen: Suppressing the Rebellion Is Uninteresting
Yulin.
As the northernmost important town in Shengzhou, when the Turks were still alive, it was the first line of defense against the Turks like Dingxiang. Since the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty often sent troops from the north of Yulin to attack the Turks, and then cooperated with Dingxiang to fight tough battles.
After the Turks were eliminated, this place no longer served as a war town, but began to immigrate to farmland, becoming an alternative rear area and a supply base.
The reason why I say this is because after the Turks, Xueyantuo, Uighurs and other grassland tribes were wiped out, the empire began to set up governors in their original territories to govern. As these years have passed, the governors have returned to the capital and stayed here.
There are only a few troops stationed in the grassland to deal with possible rebellions in the grassland. By the way, it is to capture slaves and suck the blood of the grassland.
This time the grassland tribes in Shengzhou rebelled and did not dare to attack Yulin, because there were originally a few imperial troops stationed in the north. Once they aimed at Yulin, their retreat would be exposed, waiting for the imperial troops to encircle and suppress them.
.Therefore, the grassland tribes here fled immediately after the rebellion and hid in the mountains and jungles, thinking of escaping from this terrible place.
By the time they searched for and finally found a way out, the troops from the northern governor's office had already moved south, blocking them in Shengzhou. At this time, the imperial prince also led his elite cavalry to Yulin to completely put an end to this rebellion.
All escape routes for forces.
On the hillside, dozens of horses were lined up side by side. Li Chengzhao rubbed his telescope while riding on the horse, with his armor and stomach close to his body and his face serious. He picked up the telescope and looked at the battlefield that was already being fought. His heart couldn't help but beat faster. This was his arrangement.
In the first battle, he naturally hoped for a complete victory. However, what disappointed him was that the enemy army was too weak and was no match for Tang Qi. The two sides did not fight fiercely, but Tang Qi crushed him one-sidedly.
Pressure, chase the rebel forces and massacre them.
"There are more than 20,000 people, so no fight?" Li Chengzhao muttered, still looking at the scenery in the telescope. There are only a handful of people in this empire, and most of them are his father's humerus generals.
There is one pair specially used to observe the battlefield situation.
Tang Qi chased the rebellious group like a dog and killed them violently. The real-time situation made Li Chengzhao very speechless, helpless, and also very bored. He was also ready to use the tactics he had learned to practice against this group of rebels.
Recommended, Changing Source to Chase Books is really useful, anyan, everyone can try it soon.】
The result, is this?
"Report, the rebels have fled to the river, do you want to pursue them?" The scouts rode up and loudly reported to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Li Chengzhao put down his telescope and said: "Kill!"
"As you command!"
Although Li Chengzhao regretted that these rebellious groups were of no use and could not allow him to practice his skills, he was not arrogant enough to imitate Emperor Sui Yang and admit the opponent's surrender after winning the battle, and then attack again. This was simply stupid, and he would not do it.
Tang Qi received the order from the general and immediately launched a hunt. How could this group of rebellious grassland tribes with few horses and few weapons be a match for the elite Tang Qi who were armed to the teeth? They fled while regretting their rebellion. When they saw the raging river,
They immediately felt desperate. With no way forward and pursuers behind them, they had no choice but to bite the bullet, plunge into the river, and swim frantically towards the other side. However, a small number of rebels knelt down and surrendered, begging Tang Qi to be spared.
One life.
….
But, this is impossible. Killing chickens to scare monkeys, in order to let other grassland people see the fate of the rebellion, all the rebels must be killed, and their heads will also be used to build a temple in Beijing to warn those with ulterior motives.
of prairie people.
As a result, the killing began. Tang Qi showed no mercy at all. He cut off the heads of the rebels with his sword, trampled them with horse hooves, shattered the corpses, and burst out with blood, like red flowers blooming on the bank of the river, looking bloody and weird.
Xue Li came to the river and looked at the rebels who were swimming wildly to escape. He immediately raised his bow and shot an arrow. As if it was a signal, the other Tang cavalrymen began to shoot rapidly, and arrows flew into the air one after another.
, like locusts, swooping towards the figures in the river. Like the arrows of death, screams rang out one after another. Some people dived into the river, but in the end they were covered by the shadows of arrows in the sky because of ventilation, and eventually died tragically in the river.
half
Hours passed, Tang Qi's arrow missed, and the entire river was already dyed red. Corpses were floating on the river, and the blood mixed with the river water, making it impossible to see its original color.
"The enemy is destroyed!"
Xue Li smiled softly and raised the corners of his mouth.
Tang Qi was so unreasonable in his actions. He didn't care whether there were enough arrows or not. As long as he still had the strength, he would shoot the arrow until the arrow pot was empty. The empire had the most indispensable shortage of weapons.
There is no shortage, there is as much as you want.
After the war, Li Chengzhao also won the first battle of his career. But in fact, he was not very happy, but very bored. Because he felt that the victory of this war actually had little to do with him. Even if he did not come, the Tang army would be able to do it very well.
It is easy to suppress this rebellion.
Now he finally understood why his father's high pressure on Fan Bang could continue. With such an elite Tang army, what could Fan Bang do to fight against the empire?
Rushing to the bank of the river, Li Chengzhao looked at the surrounding battlefields, then his eyes fell on the river stained red with blood, and ordered: "Find some good water properties and fish out the corpses. Leaving them in the water is prone to plague and will cause endless disasters. It is not appropriate."
"
"Yes." Qin Huaiyu accepted the order and left.
Turning over and dismounting, Li Chengzhao put the telescope in his arms and walked on the battlefield that had just calmed down. The piles of corpses and the pungent smell made him very uncomfortable. However, he still endured the nausea and continued to observe, asking questions from time to time.
Some information for generals.
For him, this was the first time he had seen such a tragic battlefield. Although it was still within his acceptance range, he still felt uncomfortable. At this time, he couldn't help but wonder, what happened to his father, who had experienced hundreds of battles?
Emperor, how did you do it back then?
After dark, he returned to Yulin, wrote a memorial with his own hands, and wrote about the battle in detail. Then he ordered people to rush to Chang'an and submit it to His Majesty the Emperor. It was not that he wanted to claim credit, but that he had to follow this procedure.
He is the prince now, so what kind of merit does he need? He can't do it if he is greedy.
"Huh" he breathed softly, Li Chengzhao leaned back on the chair, his eyes fell on the candle. Sometimes he was complicated, sometimes he was happy, and sometimes he was a little depressed. In short, his mood was unstable. He won, but he won in a boring way, as if he was just walking around.
Cut scene.
Boring!
Think about it, the grassland people had their spines broken by the Tang army a long time ago, how could the Tang army not win?
At this moment, a general's voice sounded outside the tent.
"Your Highness."
Hearing this, Li Chengzhao cheered up and sat upright.
"Come in."
The camp tent was opened, Zhou Langjiang walked in, cupped his fists and saluted.
"Your Highness."
"No courtesy." Li Chengzhao asked, "General Zhou, what can I do for you?"
General Zhou Lang said: "Your Highness, I have humbly sent you a treasure."
"Oh?" Li Chengzhao looked at him with interest.
Could it be that this person wanted to bribe him?
"What treasure."
Zhou Langjiang bowed gently, then turned around and clapped his hands.
Not long after, a graceful girl walked into the camp. She was pretty and thin, and when people saw her, they would love her in their arms.
Li Chengzhao understood that this man was here to give him a woman.
