Chapter 98 Post-war Inventory Thanks Letter Settling Accounts
After successfully evacuating the local camp, the five thousand cavalrymen immediately dispersed into hundreds of small groups and dispersed.
Seeing that there was only smoke and dust in front of him, the barbarian king who stayed behind stamped his feet unwillingly.
It's just that he won't let it go like this!
"Go down with the order and immediately hunt down the fleeing Han people. Once caught, no one will be left alive!" The Barbarian King turned around and shouted to his cronies.
"Here!" the confidant agreed and immediately went over to give the order.
For a time, the barbarians scattered in all directions, hunting and killing the Han people who fled with the cavalry.
They had been imprisoned for so long and were already weak, so naturally they would not be too quick to escape. And without cavalry to protect them at this moment, they were the weakest beings.
"Damn Han people, pay the price for what you have done!" The barbarians leading the team soon discovered a group of lone Han people, and immediately ordered their men to kill them.
"Shoot!" At this time, a shout came from the nearby grass.
Immediately, hundreds of crossbow arrows were shot out, immediately turning the barbarian squad into hedgehogs.
"Clean up the scene! And you guys, run quickly!" Li Feng walked out and threw a bag of food and a bag of water.
The Han people took the things, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and then quickly left the scene.
"Move quickly, otherwise once their main force discovers our presence, it will not be easy to deal with them!" Li Feng looked at the barbarian camp and shouted to the soldiers who were cleaning up the scene.
"Here!" The soldiers were convinced by this boy's words and immediately accelerated their work.
The same thing happened in various places. In less than an hour, about three thousand barbarians died in the ambush. But even so, there were still about five or six hundred fleeing Han people who were killed by the barbarians.
kill.
After another hour, the barbarians searched for a long time but could not find any trace of the Han people, so they gathered and returned to the camp.
After taking inventory, it was found that the team was missing more than 5,000 people. The barbarian king who stayed behind almost vomited three liters of blood on the spot.
"Han thief, your grandfather, I can't spare you!" The barbarian king who stayed behind shouted in the direction of the forest.
Night fell, and the day's battle was declared over.
Huang Zhong and others returned to the camp with a smile. However, their five hundred cavalry returned unscathed and returned to the camp safely.
The soldiers who went to rob the camp and ambush nearby also returned one after another, but once counted, there were more than a thousand soldiers missing. This was a helpless ending, and the biggest tragedy was that they were not actually real cavalry.
He was able to achieve his previous combat effectiveness only because the horse underneath him was temporarily equipped with crude stirrups.
What has to be said is that if Huang Zhong's army was not an elite force with strict discipline and high obedience, I am afraid that the "cavalry" who went into battle for the first time would not be able to exert the same destructive power as before.
The main goal of this battle has been achieved, and tens of thousands of Han people captured by the enemy were successfully rescued.
At the same time, Huang Zhong and Ji Ling each killed a barbarian general on the battlefield; when the cavalry rushed into the enemy camp, they wiped out two thousand soldiers; after rescuing the prisoners, the prisoners fought hard to kill the enemy, and probably killed more
More than 3,000 barbarians died; the subsequent ambush battle was considered a complete victory, with more than 5,000 barbarians eliminated in one fell swoop.
There were probably more than 6,000 Han people who escaped from the enemy camp with the large army; more than 4,000 of them fled in all directions, while the remaining 2,000 or so people followed the army and returned to their positions.
.
Although they are still very weak, each of them is holding a variety of weapons and looking murderous. If training and discipline are not taken into account, just relying on their momentum, they are already rare elite soldiers.
.
Today, they are just a group of homeless people with no parents to support them. Moreover, they also harbor deep hatred. If they cannot avenge themselves, they will not be able to settle down no matter where they go.
Therefore, they came to surrender, even if they did not need military pay. As long as Huang Zhong was willing to take them in and let them fight with the barbarians. Even for this purpose, they would rather serve as cannon fodder.
After Huang Zhong thought about it and discussed with others, he decided to accept these more than 2,000 strong men.
However, there are two conditions. One is that they must provide their own food before new supplies of food and grass arrive. Secondly, they must obey military orders. If the military orders do not allow them to charge, they will not be allowed to enter the battle even if the barbarians are right in front of them.
.
After hearing these two conditions, these men naturally hesitated. In fact, what they were most worried about was that Huang Zhong would use military orders as a threat to prevent them from participating in the battle.
Huang Zhong also saw their thoughts, so he swore to God that he would give them a chance to fight.
Now that Huang Zhong had sworn the oath, everyone naturally felt at ease and naturally agreed.
Seeing that they agreed, Huang Zhong ordered his men to conduct some military training on these men so that they would not understand the military orders. The men also gathered together with smiles and followed the sergeants to participate in the training.
.
"Thank you all for your help today!" Huang Zhong came to Ji Ling and others, cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Originally I didn't have high hopes for these students, but who knew there were some characters among them who should not be underestimated.
Mao Jie was both civil and military. In terms of logistics work, it can be said that apart from his lack of experience, he was not much worse than the quartermaster of the army. Ji Ling, Gongsun Du and Li Feng were all rare generals. If they were not still studying, Huang Zhong would all have income under his command.
idea.
To a lesser extent, Huang Shang and Zhang Ming also have good administrative skills. They can make some suggestions and contribute a lot in logistics work. As for their ability to lead troops, they are not yet known, but Huang Zhong believes in them.
Not too bad.
These are all talented people! In the future, I think I need to have a good talk with my eldest brother and recruit more people into Nanyang County’s system!
Huang Zhong assessed the level of these students and couldn't help but secretly make up his mind.
"I am also following here without permission this time. It is our honor to be able to make some contribution to the army!" Lou Gui came out and only answered on behalf of everyone.
Both parties exchanged polite greetings before leaving.
"You guys seem very happy?!" A sinister voice came out.
"Well...Teacher, you know that soldiers are very quick..." Ji Ling and others turned around and stammered their explanation to the thank you letter behind them.
"Don't worry, you have made great achievements this time, how can I punish you?" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Disciple, I won't dare anymore!" Lou Gui didn't care about anything, he just lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"It is our fault that we rushed out this time without considering the teacher's feelings at all!" Mao Jie apologized with his hand.
"What are you two..." Ji Ling was a little confused.
The letter of thanks said that they would not be punished, so why did Lou Gui and Mao Jie rush to apologize?!
"It's good that you know you were wrong!" Xie Xin stretched out his hands and gently stroked their heads.
Then, he changed the topic and shouted directly to them: "Since you know you were wrong, then after you go back, you should face the wall and think about it for three days!"
"Yes!" they both shouted in unison.
"You said everything was fine, why are you admitting your fault?" Ji Ling muttered, looking at the two of them.
Just looking back, Gongsun Du and Li Feng looked pale at this moment, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"What's wrong with you two?!" Ji Ling stepped forward and asked.
"Stop talking, you'll know later..." Gongsun Du said with a wry smile, and Li Feng on the side also nodded.
At this time, Xie Xin came to everyone who did not admit their mistake.
"You guys are so awesome?! You can already graduate from me, right? Don't you need me to teach you anything anymore?!" Xie Xin said coldly.
"Disciples don't dare!" After hearing this, everyone was shocked and immediately answered with their hands raised.
"Don't you dare? Why don't you dare?! Don't you know what will happen if you go to the battlefield with the skills of three-legged cats like you?! Even if you don't think about me, you won't think about it for your parents and elders.
Think about it?! Or should you say that your wings have hardened and you have learned to fly?!" Xie Xin asked coldly.
"I don't dare!" Everyone knelt down one after another.
"Those who say you are confident about going to the battlefield, come with me and practice with me! As long as you survive three attacks at my hands, I will absolve you of any guilt!
As for the others who did not directly go to the battlefield, but participated in the planning of this conspiracy and did not stop these idiots from going to the battlefield, I will spare you for now. After you go back to private school, ask your parents to see me!" Xie Xin said to everyone calmly.
After that, he turned around and walked deeper into the forest.
"You two, why didn't you tell us earlier?!" After Xie Xin left, Ji Ling couldn't help but shout to Mao Jie and Lou Gui.
"We only have such a short time, it's not enough to wake up, let alone tell you later?!" Lou Gui said with a wry smile.
"Forget it, it's true that we didn't consider the teacher's feelings this time. It's our fault." Gongsun Du came to Ji Ling's side and patted his shoulder gently.
"Let's go. If you don't go, I'm afraid the punishment will be aggravated!" Li Feng patted the two of them on the shoulders, and then walked towards Xie Xin.
The two sighed slightly and followed helplessly.
As for the remaining students, they looked at each other and saw everyone's helplessness.
"Boom!" A sound came from deep in the forest.
Everyone was curious about what the sound was, but saw that there was no further movement, so they gave up.
Three quarters of an hour later, Xie Xin returned to his position with a smile on his face, followed by three teenagers with bruises and swollen faces.
"No? Can't hold on even with three moves?!" Huang Shang stepped forward and asked.
"To be precise, I couldn't hold it back with just one punch... It took almost three quarters of an hour for us to catch our breath." Ji Ling replied sheepishly.
"One punch?!" Looking at the three people, Huang Shang couldn't believe it.
"You'll know when you go over and take a look!" Ji Ling pointed to the forest behind him and said angrily.
Huang Shang seemed to understand but still walked over quickly.
"What the hell is this?!" Not long after, a shout came from the forest.
The other students were also extremely curious and walked over one after another.
They saw a large pit thirty meters wide and twenty meters deep appearing on the ground.
Judging from the vegetation nearby, it can be seen that this hole was 'created' in just three-quarters of an hour.
At this moment, in the battlefield.
The three of Ji Ling got together again and started talking to each other.
"To be precise, the three of us were hit like this by the wind pressure caused by that punch?" Gongsun Du said intermittently. At this moment, his whole face was bruised and swollen.
"It seems like this..." Li Feng's face was half ruined, but he could still speak fluently.
"Is this what the Prajna Dragon Elephant Skill will look like when it's completed? Speaking of which, I'm really looking forward to that day!" Ji Ling also had half of his face ruined, but he still looked excited.
"But if you want to take any action next time, you have to ask the teacher for advice." Lou Gui came to the three of them and said with a smile.
"It's just that seeing how you are now, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the battlefield within seven or eight days!" Mao Jie looked at the three of them and couldn't help but shook his head.
"Maybe this is the teacher's intention? He may also be worried that you will do something privately again!" Lou Gui thought for a moment.
"But having said that, I really enjoyed myself today! Although it was my first time to kill someone, I did it very happily!" Ji Ling smiled.
"To each other!" Gongsun Du and Li Feng also smiled slightly.
