Chapter 510 Shamo Ke: Enjoy the same treatment as the Han army?
"map!"
Zhou Yu quickly reached out his hand, took the map handed over by the messenger, and started browsing.
Based on the direction in which Samoko was running, he quickly made an inference and ordered without hesitation: "Order Ling Sima to move quickly to the west, surround Samoko and force him to the east."
The ordering soldier responded sonorously: "Here."
Immediately.
The red and green flags flashed again, and the rhythmic horn sound followed.
woo woo woo woo!
Woo—!
The order has been conveyed.
Zhou Yu put the map in his arms and waved his hand: "Follow me."
He jumped down from the high point and led the people in the headquarters to fly forward at the fastest speed.
In forest operations, there are many obstacles and the field of view is not broad enough. It is necessary to set up more observation points in order to grasp the overall situation.
Now, Shamoko saw through Zhou Yu's plan in advance, forcing Zhou Yu to abandon the current observation point and rush to another observation point in order to better command the battle. Otherwise, he would be blind and unable to command.
fighting.
But luckily...
Although Zhou Yu is the commander-in-chief of the Yuanyang Army, his training is as good as any other general, or even worse. Therefore, his speed in jungle cross-country is not slow at all.
What's more, these people in the headquarters were almost light and strong. They did not carry weapons such as langxian, boring palladium, and rattan cards. They only had ordinary Huanshou swords and flags. Therefore, in terms of speed, they were stronger than the Yuanyang Army's combat troops.
Moreover, when Zhu Huan arrived here to ambush, he had already cleaned up some key road conditions. It was more comfortable to run without having to worry about stumbling, and the speed of the run was more guaranteed.
...
It is precisely due to various reasons that Zhou Yu's speed can barely keep up with Samoko's speed, keeping him within his line of sight.
Of course, in addition to this, the roads on the map also appeared in Zhou Yu's mind, as if a tracking locator was installed, always judging Shamoko's marching intention.
Have to admit it.
Zhou Yu does have two brushes.
Although he is not very well-known yet and has little combat experience, he has the feeling of an experienced veteran in commanding and setting up formations, and he is also very prepared to judge the current situation.
But it was precisely because of this that he felt more and more that he had underestimated Shamoko's ability. The other party had lived in this environment all year round, and his familiarity with it far exceeded theirs.
Shamoko can even judge the situation he is in through the subtle changes in the woods, whether he is surrounded or has escaped from the siege, thereby guiding his next actions.
It is obviously difficult to catch such a fierce man in the forest, but Zhou Yu will never be discouraged. The first battle is really too important for him.
"Commander!"
"exist."
"Send an order to Tan Xiong and ask him to allocate half of his troops and rush to point three on the east side as quickly as possible. The rest will continue on this road to confuse the opponent."
"Here!"
The next moment.
Woohoo—!
Woo! Woo! Woo!
The horn sound with a specific rhythm sounded and quickly spread throughout the forest.
At this moment, Shamoko also heard the sound. His eyes were like a hawk, flashing left and right, as if he was looking for changes in the people around him so that he could adjust his escape route at any time.
Simply!
In the manual issued by the imperial court, there is some content about jungle chasing. It was mentioned in it that an experienced jungle hunter can judge the direction of the prey's escape from leaves, silhouettes, sounds, etc.
obviously.
Samoko is an experienced jungle hunter.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yu immediately ordered Tan Xiong to leave half of his team and continue to pursue the enemy along the original route in order to confuse the enemy and make him unaware of his decision.
as expected.
After a long time, there was no change in Samoko's escape route, and he still ran according to the original route, which made Zhou Yu feel a little calmer.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, Shamoko was really stunned. He had no idea what Zhou Yu's order just now was about.
When the situation is unclear, even Samoko does not dare to change his escape route easily, he can only deal with it more carefully, that's all.
Just when he wanted to jump out of the encirclement.
suddenly!
A strong wind roared from the side.
Shamoko turned his head quickly and looked around.
But he saw a musket volley spring out of the woods, shine on his body, and suddenly hit him.
Shamoko's eyes suddenly widened, and his legs were like springs. While kicking on the ground, he suddenly jumped out, and the tip of the wooden volley gun just passed through the black hair flying in the air.
"Come in as your mother!"
Samoko chewed it into pieces, feeling very angry in his heart.
But he didn't dare to relax at all, constantly changing directions and alerting his surroundings to prevent any unexpected events.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The volley guns flew out of the forest one after another, but Shamoko easily dodged them. Some of the volley guns even disappeared without even touching Samoko's shadow.
After turning a corner, just as Samoko was about to go straight to the west, a troop of soldiers and horses came out from the front, shouting at the top of their lungs: "The thief will leave, I will take a shot from your grandpa Ling Tong!"
"kill-!"
This roar.
Like thunder, like tsunami, better than landslide.
Then, a row of crossbow arrows pierced Samoko head-on like shuttles.
Shamoko, who had no intention of fighting, did not dare to fight head-on. He immediately changed direction without hesitation and continued to run towards the east, trying to find another way to return to his territory.
"Damn."
Shamoko chewed secretly and said: "These guys are following too closely. Why haven't Jing Xiang's troops arrived yet?"
Seeing Shamoko fleeing in the direction he had set, Zhou Yu was ecstatic inside, but his face remained calm: "Everyone, follow us and rush to observation point 17."
All the soldiers responded to the promise and continued to rush forward.
At this moment, Shamoko had been running wildly for nearly a quarter of an hour. Seeing that he could not get rid of the pursuers behind him, his mentality became a little messy, like a frightened bird, panicking and not choosing the way.
Under the pressure of Zhou Yu's constant orders, Samoko went round and round, and finally set foot on the final ambush point, and was about to become Zhou Yu's prey.
"Where to go!"
Tan Xiong's voice sounded like a wolf's howl, and a row of arrows hit him directly.
Shamoko retreated in an emergency and went straight in from the path. His head looked left and right from time to time to prevent any unexpected events, but he ignored the subtle changes under his feet.
Plop!
One foot is empty.
Shamoko chased into the deep pit, and then more than a dozen mandarin duck troops poured out from all around. The cold spears were directly placed on their heads, preventing them from moving: "Boy, don't move! Our war spears don't have eyes."
"Become a mother."
Samoko had a ferocious face, clenched his teeth, and faced the cold spear point without any fear. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Kill me if you dare. Come on, why should I, Samoko, be afraid!"
...
Both parties cursed each other, but they couldn't understand each other.
After a while, there was no sound.
When Tan Xiong, Deng Peng, Zhou Yu and others arrived, they tied up Samoko and pulled him out of the pit: "Are you General Samoko of Wuxi?"
When Shamoko listened to Zhou Yu's poor Wuling barbarian language, his original angry mood suddenly dropped a lot. He nodded slowly, but he still looked rebellious:
"Yes, it's me!"
Even Cai Mao and others relied on translators to talk to Samoko, but Zhou Yu was different. He could actually use their own language, which shocked Samoko somewhat.
"I am Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Yuanyang Army of the Han Dynasty."
Although he was the king and defeated the bandits, Zhou Yu was not so arrogant and arrogant. Instead, he was magnanimous and magnanimous. He cupped his fists towards Samoko, which was a Han salute.
This scene made Shamoko feel a little embarrassed. The anger on his face was reduced by three points, but he still frowned: "Kill me, I, Shamoko, will not surrender."
"What a tough guy!"
Zhou Yu nodded with interest and smiled calmly: "But what if I want you to surrender?"
Shamoko was also stunned, as if he had never seen such a stupid man: "I told you that I will not surrender. Besides, you sneak attack on our territory, you are our enemy."
"That's right."
Zhou Yu did not deny it, and said with absolute certainty: "We did sneak attack on your territory, but it was just to force you to lead troops back for rescue. We did not harm any of your tribe at all."
"What did you say?"
Even Shamoko himself couldn't help but be stunned: "Didn't you hurt my tribe?"
Zhou Yu was very sure: "Of course!"
Shamoko said with doubtful eyes: "I don't believe it."
"Hahaha!"
Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and said softly: "General, I am very direct. If you don't believe it, we can return to the territory now. I, the general, will personally deliver your father and clan members into your hands."
hiss-!
Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't look like he was lying, Shamoke couldn't help but gasp.
He seemed like he couldn't believe it.
After the Han army raided their own territory, they did not harm their own family. How is this possible?
Seeing that Shamoko didn't respond, Zhou Yu stopped wasting time and waved his hand: "Deng Peng."
Deng Peng leaned forward and held up his hands: "The end will be here."
"Quickly assemble the team and rush to Wuximan's territory."
"Here."
Deng Peng bowed his hands and stepped back. He immediately called his brothers and prepared to rush to the territory.
It took about half a day to move forward, and it was getting dark.
Wuxi barbarian territory.
Squeak—!
The door was pushed open.
Zhou Yu walked in with Samoko, pointed at the old man in front of him, and said softly: "Is that your father?"
Shamoko was stunned for a moment and said with horror: "Yes, it is indeed my father."
The old chief was equally surprised: "Son, are you back?"
"Father-!"
Shamoko shouted and rushed forward.
Zhou Yu waved his hand to Tan Xiong: "Untie the bonds and reunite father and son."
Tan Xiong was stunned: "General, think twice, Samoko himself is extremely powerful. If we let him go..."
Before Tan Xiong could finish speaking, Zhou Yu smiled and interrupted directly: "Don't worry, Samoko is a man who values friendship and will be fine. Besides, we have so many soldiers and horses here, why are we afraid that we can't control him?
"
"this......"
"Go ahead."
"Here."
As a last resort.
Tan Xiong stepped forward and untied Samoko with his own hands, but subconsciously assumed a defensive posture, ready to protect Zhou Yu's safety at any time, as a precaution.
"you......"
Shamoko was also stunned and stared at Zhou Yu in disbelief: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Yu said softly: "I can let you go and reunite your father and son, but the prisoners outside the territory cannot be released yet. I will come back early tomorrow morning. I hope that by that time, I can have a good talk with the general."
"brothers."
Immediately, Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Let's go."
All the soldiers raised their hands in unison: "Here."
Looking at the commander-in-chief of the Han army leaving like this, Shamoko couldn't help but feel guilty.
These people seemed to be different from the Han soldiers he had encountered before. They seemed to have no ill intentions towards their own people.
"Father."
Shamoko let out a long sigh and asked tentatively: "Have the Han army ever treated you..."
The old chief shook his head: "No, they didn't hurt any of us. We are all alive, and the injured tribesmen have also been properly treated."
"Even the military doctors in their army treated our people. They went to the mountains to collect herbs and treated everyone. The baby of the one-armed family in Dongtou has recovered."
"Ah, this..."
Shamoko couldn't believe his ears.
Did Han army doctors treat their illnesses?
If he had put this matter before, he wouldn't have dared to think about it.
Moreover, in the battle in the jungle just before dark, they had no intention of holding back at all. The wave of arrows was definitely aimed at their faces, and they were very cruel.
But who would have thought.
This group of guys, who are very shady, actually treat the residents in their territory. I really don’t know what these guys are thinking, whether they want to recruit themselves, or they want to kill the entire clan.
"Father."
Shamoko asked tentatively: "What do you think?"
The old chief frowned and thought for a long time: "This is their way to win over and show friendship. I have to admit that it is indeed unexpected, but it is related to the fate of our entire clan and must not be decided lightly."
"How is the situation there in Cai Mao?"
The old chief paused for a moment and then asked.
"this......"
Shamoko could only tell his father everything that happened along the way: "So in the end, I never saw Jing Xiang's soldiers and horses. Maybe they didn't come at all, or they had been completely wiped out by the Han army.
."
"That's it!"
The old chief suddenly understood, his expression was indifferent, and he was obviously a little disappointed with Cai Mao.
Two thousand soldiers and horses, but they didn't even meet each other.
If they don't come at all, it proves that their commitment to the Wuling barbarians is completely bullshit. They are not treated as true allies, but are just tools to be used.
But if they come and the entire Nanyang Han army is wiped out, it will be even more doomed. It proves that Cai Mao's soldiers and horses are incompetent in combat and are far from being a match for the Nanyang Han army.
"Son."
The old chief took a deep breath and asked again: "What do you think of the Nanyang Han Army?"
Shamoko did not hide his attitude at all and said directly: "The combat effectiveness is very strong, stronger than any Han army we have encountered before."
"On the way back, I carefully counted their troops. They were less than three thousand, not even half of our army. But even so, we are still no match in the mountains and forests."
"I'm sure!"
Shamoko said very solemnly: "These guys must have gone through rigorous training. Maybe they have been training in mountain and jungle combat during the two years they have been hidden in the ice. Otherwise, they would not be so powerful."
"oh?"
The old chief looked in disbelief: "We are no match at all?"
Shamoko nodded: "That's right! The Han army should adopt a certain formation. It only requires three or five people to form a formation, which is both offensive and defensive. It is very powerful."
"Er once faced off against a lieutenant of the Han army. His personal fighting ability was definitely not as good as Er's, but in the formation, relying on the cooperation with his teammates, he was able to defeat Er.
Being unable to fight back shows how powerful he is."
"The most important thing is that these guys are proficient in traps and jungle running. The one named Zhou Yu is very good at commanding. I wanted to break out of their encirclement, but I was always controlled by him."
The old chief naturally knew how powerful Zhou Yu was. After all, he had also experienced fighting against Zhou Yu. Hundreds of the opponent's elites touched him, but his own light and dark sentries did not respond.
Who can do this?
The old chiefs asked themselves, since he became the chief of the Wuxi Barbarians, he has fought with the Han army no less than a hundred times, but no Han army has ever been able to find traces of them in the vast Wuling Mountains.
And this Han army not only found it, but even captured it silently. If it weren't for the good intentions of the opponent, the Wuxi Barbarians might have faced the disaster of annihilation just this once.
...
These aspects alone are enough to prove the power of the Yuanyang Army.
A mandarin duck army of three thousand men can defeat the entire Wuxi barbarian tribe, let alone Nanyang's large army?
Although the old chief did not have a good impression of the Han court, the opponent's powerful fighting power had affected the safety of the entire clan, so he had to re-examine and judge them.
"Let me think about it."
"Let's think about it together."
"..."
It will be clear the next day.
The rooster crows the dawn, and the morning glow fills the sky.
Outside the territory, Zhou Yu led his troops and horses in orderly formation, with flags flying, and they were majestic.
Samoko walked out of the territory, looked at Zhou Yu who also came forward, and said softly: "May I ask, general, if I refuse to surrender to the Han army, will these soldiers in our clan be dead?"
"Won't."
Zhou Yu shook his head without hesitation, waved his hand directly, and signaled to Deng Peng: "Let him go!"
Deng Peng responded sonorously: "Here, let him go."
Hooray!
The army of prisoners behind them returned to their own territory.
This scene immediately stunned Samoko and he didn't react for a long time.
"OK!"
Samoko let out a long sigh, and finally nodded, acknowledging the Han army's magnanimity: "Your Han army is the most righteous Han army that I, Samoko, have ever seen in my life, and it is also the most sincere Han army.
"
"I'm Shamoko!"
Having said this, Samoko patted his chest and said, "I admire you! I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
There was no trace of joy on Zhou Yu's face, but instead he frowned: "General, are you going to refuse me next time?"
Shamoko looked at Zhou Yu with surprised eyes: "What if, what if I reject the general?"
Zhou Yu smiled lightly: "It's very simple! Let's find an opportunity to fight again until we defeat you, the general. However, I have something to say first. When you go to the battlefield, your sword has no eyes, and it will inevitably hurt innocent people."
"Ha ha!"
Shamoko looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Another battle? General, I'm afraid you have no chance. We were defeated yesterday. Cai Mao will definitely send people to support, and the Wuling clan will definitely send troops to come back to support. If I were you, I would do it now.
If you leave here, you can at least save your life."
Zhou Yu didn't panic at all, and raised his hand towards Samoko: "Anyway, I need to thank the general. At least you can tell me frankly what may happen next."
Shamoko grinned and waved his hand: "That's all, I should just express my gratitude to you."
"but......"
Before Samoko could finish speaking, Zhou Yu interrupted: "How do you know that Cai Mao still has the ability to send troops?"
Shamoko was stunned for a moment: "General, what do you mean?"
"It's very simple."
Zhou Yulang said loudly: "Just when I launched the attack on the general, General Sun Jian also launched an attack on the public security. I believe that with Cai Mao's ability, he cannot stop our army."
"So, Cai Mao has no chance of attacking our Yuanyang Army now, and yesterday, all of his two thousand soldiers and horses were killed by me in the mountains and forests."
"ah?"
Shamoko was surprised: "Really...is it true?"
Zhou Yu smiled faintly: "If you don't believe it, you can wait a little longer. I think we'll get the news after noon."
Although it sounded a bit unbelievable, Shamoko didn't dare not believe it, nor did he dare to believe it completely.
He didn't quite believe that Sun Jian could cross the Yangtze River in one day, defeat Cai Mao and capture the city. If this was true, then the army of Cai Mao and others would be too useless.
"this......"
For a moment, Shamoko swallowed the words he had prepared and swallowed them back into his stomach.
Zhou Yu naturally guessed what he was thinking, took a long breath, and said softly: "General, you don't have to answer this matter for now. If you think about it carefully, I can also give the court's conditions."
"If the general can lead the whole clan to surrender, then a Tao will be established near here and you will be given self-governance. The court will be responsible for teaching you the technology of terraced fields, and will also arrange for doctors and build roads for you."
"certainly!"
Zhou Yu added: "If you are willing to join the army, you can also enjoy the same treatment as the Han army, including military pay, various bonuses, benefits, etc."
"Similarly, your autonomy also needs to accept the management of the imperial court and sign a production task responsibility letter. After all, from that moment on, you are the Han army, exactly the same as us, no different."
Shamoko frowned and asked, "Are we really the same as the Han army?"
Zhou Yu said with absolute certainty: "Of course you can. Anyway, you are autonomous. If there are any differences, you can rebel and leave at any time. You will lead the army alone for three years. After three years, you need to accept the dispatch of the imperial court."
hiss-!
Samoko was surprised and took a breath.
He frowned, glanced back at his old father, and couldn't help but feel a little moved: "General, let us father and son have a good discussion."
Zhou Yu nodded: "Okay! My station is outside, you can come over at any time!"
"good."
Shamoko responded and was about to turn around and leave when he was interrupted by Zhou Yu: "Oh, by the way, there are some medicines here for the injured brothers in the territory. Take them."
Shamoko took the medicine bottle and said, "Thank you, General."
