Volume Four: The Great Chaos of the World Chapter 174: The Han People
Chapter 174 Han People
Not only did the Qiang chiefs have to contribute half of their tribe, but they also had to provide the eight thousand Han troops with necessary marching supplies. After a lot of looting, the Qiang village's vitality was severely damaged. It is conceivable that this winter will definitely not be easy.
The soldiers of the Han army regained their energy and continued to move forward. Most of the Qiang chiefs' territories that surrendered yesterday were south of Shegu Mountain. Gai Jun did not let go of any of them. Following the previous example, the tribe confiscated half of it and provided a large number of
Materials made them feel heartbroken and helpless, and they also lost the ability to rebel.
The Han army rushed to the Shegu Mountain area, and the scouts brought a Qiang man to see him.
The Qiang people knelt down and worshiped again and again, and said: "Luodiao Changshi, I am a subordinate of Chief Bi."
"Bi? That fat man? What's the matter?"
If someone had called the leader a fat man, they would have drawn their swords against them. However, Luodiao Changshi was different. He had the qualifications. The Qiang people replied respectfully: "Our chief and several other chiefs are at the foot of Shegu Mountain, because
I was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so I came to report it."
Gai Jun nodded and said, "I understand."
The Qiang people bowed, mounted their horses and left.
Gai Yin said: "Uncle Clan, do you need us to get ready?"
Gai Jun sneered and said: "It's not like you haven't seen these two before. Even if you take the courage of an ambitious leopard, you don't dare to fight with me. But you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Let everyone stay tight and show the strength of our Han army."
Style, shock and shock the opponent.”
"promise."
After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers of the Han army held their chests high, gripped their weapons tightly, and their eyes were as sharp as a knife to shoot tigers. The second battalion of Luodiao was the most heroic. They followed Gai Jun to fight the Yellow Turban bandits first, and then the Xiliang rebels.
After three battles, the Qiang rebelled against the Qiang. They were invincible and invincible. They already had an aura that was different from others. Then came the thousands of people brought by Gai Jun from the capital. They also went through two battles and won a complete victory.
The soldiers from Fengyi County on the left are slightly weaker, and they are also elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty who have been trained for more than a year.
Two thousand steps away from the foot of the mountain, Gai Jun suddenly asked the army to advance. Amidst the rumble of horse hooves, there was the clang of swords, spears and armor clashing with each other. This is the so-called protruding cavalry, the sound of swords and guns. The entire cavalry formation was shining brightly in the sun, with flags fluttering, brilliant.
Like a brocade.
"The Han army - mighty -"
"The Han army - mighty - the Han army - mighty -"
The soldiers of the Han army roared at the top of their lungs, like a hurricane rolling towards the opposite side. Thousands of Qiang people looked at each other in shock, their livers and gallbladders were split, they did not dare to take a breath, they buried their heads deep in their chests, and did not dare to look at them.
One thousand steps, five hundred steps, three hundred steps, one hundred steps, twenty steps, the Han army came to an abrupt end as if it had been agreed upon.
After a long silence, a fat man and a bearded Qiang man came out and led several Qiang chiefs to Gai Jun. They knelt down and worshiped: "The fallen eagle has a long history..."
Gai Jun immediately looked down at them, sneered and said with a sullen face: "Haha, it's really beyond my expectation. I was still wondering if you two would run back to your hometown."
The two of them were shocked, and Qiang Chief Ling said: "Why did Luodiao Changshi say this? Everything we have is given by you, how can we be ungrateful?"
Gai Jun glanced at him lightly and asked, "Why don't you surrender on the battlefield?"
Chongxu Qiang Chief Lingdang explained: "Surrendering on the battlefield can easily arouse the fighting spirit of the Xianling people and make them share the same hatred of the enemy. On the contrary, our escape caused the Xianling people to panic and run for their lives... Of course, Luodiao Changshi used his troops like a god and his power was unparalleled.
, even if they don’t escape, the Qiang people can’t defeat Luodiao Changshi.”
Gai Jun didn't believe his words at all. If he had the intention, he would have surrendered long ago. Why wait at the foot of Shegu Mountain? But it doesn't matter. These two are still two honest dogs and they have their place.
Gai Jun asked again: "Have you seen that false king of yours?"
The heavy-bearded Qiang chief Lingdang shook his head and said: "We have been waiting here for the arrival of Luodiao Changshi, but we have not seen the puppet king Yeli. Now it is freezing cold and the muddy water is frozen. There are rivers that can be crossed everywhere, and Yeli is 80% likely to be there."
Pass elsewhere."
Gai Jun said expressionlessly: "I will confiscate 50% of your troops."
Several Qiang chiefs changed their expressions one after another, but when they looked at Gai Jun's cold eyes, their hearts became cold again, and they nodded bravely.
"Let's go across the river." Gai Jun said calmly. Gai Jun inquired and learned that more than 30 Qiang chiefs had rebelled with Yeli. Gai Jun had more than a dozen people here. In other words, half of them ran back.
To get a family, these people must be killed.
The Han army was in trouble again. Gai Jun looked at the surrounding scenery and recalled all the things he had experienced when he first entered the Qiang land.
"Huh..." The mount snorted several times before stopping. Gai Jun frowned slightly. He and Tayun had been together for twelve years and had already formed a tacit understanding. It was really uncomfortable to lose Tayun all of a sudden.
Looking at the tightly closed village gate in front of him, he asked: "Is this village the place where the Qiang chiefs who fled back belong?".
"Yes." said the puffy Qiang chief.
"Capture it." Gai Jun said to the Qiang chiefs: "Whoever cuts off the Qiang chief's head first will divide him into 30% of the people."
A dozen Qiang chiefs looked at each other, and they all noticed the excitement in each other's eyes. Gai Jun's search had severely damaged their vitality. If they continued fighting all the way, they would not only be able to recover their vitality, but even be better than before. "The long history of Luodiao"
Wish is our wish.”
We can't just let the other side take advantage of us. Gai Jun's subordinates, Ma Nu, myself, Gui He and others asked for orders to join the battle, and Gai Jun agreed.
There are only about a thousand Luo people living in this Qiang village. If all the men over twelve and under seventy years old are gathered together, there are only more than two thousand. However, Gai Jun's side attacked tens of thousands of strong Qiang people, and the war did not begin.
It was doomed beforehand. Tens of thousands of Qiang people patiently used bows and arrows to clear out the resisters, opened the village gate, and swarmed in.
Although various Qiang chiefs have said not to kill indiscriminately, the soldiers do not care about that and just kill everyone they see, taking pleasure in killing them.
An hour later, the boiling Qiang Village finally calmed down, and the number of residents in the middle of the village dropped by 40%, with most of them being men.
"Luodiao Changshi, I killed the Qiang chieftain." Guihe came over excitedly, carrying the Qiang chieftain's head to claim the merit. "Also, we found hundreds of Han people in the village."
"Are there any casualties?"
Seeing Luodiao Changshi's face suddenly darken, Guihe's smile froze and said: "No, no..."
Gai Jun rode his horse and led the Han army into the stronghold. He saw the Han people. Hundreds of them were basically young and middle-aged people. They were wearing thin autumn clothes in the winter. Both men and women had dry heads and dirty bodies. They originally looked numb.
, as soon as he saw the Han army, he burst into tears and burst into tears, as if a kid who had been trafficked and tortured saw his parents.
Gai Jun wiped the bones, over and over again. He gathered thousands of Han people in the several villages he passed. Since the Qiang chieftains had surrendered, they thought the Han army was ready and sent their horses back to the villages to report. In fact, they also had the purpose of grooming the Han people.
It meant dressing up, so Gai Jun saw that all the Han people were disheveled and skinny, but at least they were doing well. Now when he saw the real miserable state of the Han people, Gai Jun's heart felt like being stabbed by a spear, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe. He roared
He said: "Kill all the people in the village, regardless of gender, old or weak."
The eyes of the Han soldiers were almost burning red. They waited for Gai Jun's words and immediately rushed out with their swords drawn.
