In less than half an hour, the Merqi tribe, which once shocked the entire grassland and became one of the main components of the Mongol Empire in later generations, was completely destroyed!
Basically all the men rushed over just now, and they were all killed by the Liangshan army! The concept of "man" on the grassland is very different from that in the Central Plains. On the grassland, as long as you are over 10 years old, you are considered a "man", then
Make a contribution to your family and your tribe!
They wanted to let the women and children of the tribe escape by their own attack! These women and children did indeed escape, but they didn't escape far before Han Shizhong's army caught up with them!
Han Shizhong's men had been divided into several groups at this moment. Some of them captured these women and children, while others went to collect the cattle, sheep, and hay of the Mi'erqi tribe!
Luan Tingyu's men were also helping to collect cattle, sheep, and hay, but when they saw that Han Shizhong's men had captured all the women and children, Luan Tingyu's men all looked strangely in their eyes.
Even Luan Tingyu himself was frowning at this moment.
"Brother Han, what are you going to do with these women and children?" Luan Tingyu asked.
"Of course I brought it back to the station!" Han Shizhong said.
"Take them back to the base? They are Mongolians. Their husbands, fathers, and children have just been killed by us. They must have an unusual hatred for us! It's probably not a good thing to take them back! I think they should be left on the grassland.
Come on, let them fend for themselves." Luan Tingyu said.
"This is a grassland, and the rules on the grassland are different from other places." Han Shizhong shook his head and said.
"I wonder what the rules are on the grassland?" Luan Tingyu frowned.
"On the grassland, the rules are very simple! Generally, only men are killed, not women or children! Women and children don't have much hatred." Han Shizhong said calmly.
On the grasslands, when they usually start a war or a tribe annexes, they just kill the other party's men and leave the other party's women and children behind! They will bring the other party's women and children to their own tribe and let these women and children
Be part of your own tribe!
A hundred years later, Genghis Khan, who shocked the whole world, had his first wife snatched away by the Mierqi tribe. His eldest son Jochi was not his biological son, but the son of the Mierqi tribe! Three years passed.
After Genghis Khan became powerful, he took his wife back.
After that, his wife continued to live with him, and the little boy who followed his wife back at that time was named "Jochi" and became his eldest son. "Jochi" means "guest" in Mongolian! On the grassland, survival is
The most important thing is that in the face of survival, hatred must be put aside!
Men need women to give birth to children for themselves and children to expand the strength of the tribe, and women and children need to rely on men to survive!
Luan Tingyu couldn't believe it, but when he saw the indifferent expressions of Han Shizhong and the soldiers next to him, he knew that all this was true.
"What's the use of taking these women and children back?" Luan Tingyu asked.
"These women can give birth to children for the death-defying army soldiers," Han Shizhong said.
"This..." Luan Tingyu still found it difficult to accept.
"We, the Death Army and the Production and Construction Corps, have come to the grassland, and everything must be done according to the rules of the grassland! We must truly become a member of the grassland. Only in this way can we prosper in the shortest time! We must
So many young people have come to the grassland, most of them are men, and the number of young women is too small! We will survive here for a long time in the future, so we need women to have children, do you understand?"
Han Shizhong said.
The Death Army is different from other armies. Soldiers from other armies can retire, but the Death Army has to establish itself on the grasslands and spend their entire lives here! They already regard themselves as a huge "tribe"
, this "tribe" also needs to expand its strength, and the way to expand its strength is the Mongolian method.
Luan Tingyu's expression was very complicated. He felt that Han Shizhong had changed and was very different from before! Han Shizhong's army was also very different from before. This army had many primitive and barbaric elements that did not belong to Han culture!
"Let's go, there are countless small and medium-sized tribes within a thousand miles around here! We must defeat and annex all these small and medium-sized tribes! The materials within a thousand miles must be transported back to our base to expand our strength!" Han Shizhong said
.
In the early morning, they left the Mierqi tribe. The armies of Han Shizhong and Luan Tingyu had already moved towards the surrounding areas. There was also a Liangshan army of 10,000 people escorting the women, children and supplies of the Mierqi tribe towards the west.
go.
Those women and children looked at the soldiers in Liangshan with hatred, but they did not resist. This was the case on the grassland. When they were annexed, they could only endure it. On the grassland, survival was more important than anything else. Only women like them could survive.
Children, if they want to survive in such heavy snow, the chance is almost zero. They must take refuge in men and tribes. Even if this man or tribe is their enemy, they must take refuge.
When they arrive at Liangshan Station, they will first obtain the status of slaves and live a difficult life. If possible, some of these young and beautiful women will marry Liangshan soldiers, and Liangshan soldiers will not only accept them, but also accept them
Their children will become the children of Liangshan soldiers in the future.
This is the naked grassland rule...
****
At this moment, thousands of miles away on the battlefield in the west, the war has finally come to an end!
Some of the leaders of the Mongols, Hebul Khan, Naiman Khan, Wanyan Sagai and others, unexpectedly gathered together again!
There are still 80,000 troops under their command, which is all the remaining troops!
Hebulehan and others were extremely sad, and they could not tell where they were now. They seemed to have rushed out of Liangshan's station, but of course Liangshan's army kept coming.
"We are finally together! Where are we going now?" Naiman said with lingering fear, sweating profusely.
"Let's go to the northwest. There seem to be fewer enemy troops there!" Hebul Khan said.
"good!"
Now these 80,000 Mongolian troops were heading northwest, and every one of their soldiers was exhausted to the extreme! Sure enough, Hebul Khan's judgment was correct. Liangshan in the northwest had much fewer troops, and they finally rushed out from here!
However, at this time, they still couldn't rest, because Liangshan's cavalry was still chasing them closely! Occasionally, I don't know when, Liangshan's cavalry rushed in front of them! Sometimes, Liangshan's cavalry rushed in front of them!
Then it suddenly rushes out from the left or right!
For the Mongolian army, not to mention stopping to rest, even blinking is a luxury! Liangshan's army is constantly attacking them. When they are marching, Liangshan's army is making sneak attacks. When they want to stop,
, Liangshan’s soldiers were making a sneak attack. They wanted to turn back, but Liangshan’s soldiers didn’t know where they had gone!
Compared to the Mongolian army, the Liangshan soldiers seemed to have gotten enough rest. Both the soldiers and the horses were far more energetic than them! Hebul Khan secretly guessed that it should have been when the Liangshan militiamen besieged them before.
The Liangshan cavalry have all withdrawn to rest!
From morning to night, for several days, Liangshan's army surrounded them like a pack of wolves. Liangshan's army controlled the Mongols' marching speed and fatigue. The Mongols had no choice but to let it go.
The Liangshan army drove away.
There are occasional hills on the grassland. A few days later, several low hills appeared in front of them. Although they were low, horses could not cross them. They found themselves surrounded again! The more than 100,000 militiamen in Liangshan didn't know what
The time has come and is waiting for them here!
The Mongolian army is full of despair. There were originally 80,000 Mongolian soldiers left, but now there are only 60,000 due to sneak attacks along the way! These 60,000 are pale and shivering in the cold wind and snow. They are really too exhausted.
Their hands couldn't even hold the swords and guns that were colder than the cold wind and covered with ice! The beef jerky in their pockets was almost eaten or lost on the battlefield. Most of the soldiers had already
Nothing to eat.
The Liangshan army surrounded them outside without fighting. They lit fires and barbecued meat in batches. The aroma of meat continued to float in, which made the Mongolian army inside almost go crazy! But now they have neither the courage nor the physical strength to rush out and fight with the Liangshan army.
Fight to the death!
At this moment, the Mongolian army has no choice but to be destroyed! But until now, Liangshan has still not launched an attack, and many generals in Liangshan are asking for a fight.
Hu Sanniang is riding on the war horse. She is still waiting, thinking, and calculating! She will use the minimum cost and the easiest way to annihilate the remaining 60,000 Mongolians!
Finally, a "way of survival" appeared in the north.
The Mongolian army rushed towards the "route of survival". Even though they knew there might be a conspiracy, they couldn't care less about it now! They just wanted to escape!
Among the Mongolians, more than 2,000 of them, the bravest and still capable of fighting, pushed their comrades away and they rushed out! Hu Sanniang ignored these 2,000 people and allowed them to leave.
With a sneer on her face, she finally gave the order to encircle.
