Chapter 275: Killing Prisoners

; There are thousands of people in the Fufeng Army, no one will think that Cao Tianci is cute. Or he will show his youthful nature in front of Gao Yuan, but once he comes out of Gao Yuan's tent , he is always so cold, as if anyone owes him money, and when he implements military laws, he is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard. Even Sun Xiao, the oldest member of the Fufeng Army, saw It's a little scary to see this young man.

The following days were peaceful, Zhao Qi still stayed in Chaocheng, Zhao Guo did not send troops there, Zhou Yuan stayed in Fangcheng, and did not make a large-scale attack, intending to swallow up Chaocheng, even if it is for the present For Yan Jun, it was a piece of cake.

Gao Yuan took advantage of this rare free time to start training the thousands of newly acquired troops. When they crossed the Yishui River, there were still more than 5,000 people in this army. The final battle of the Yishui River was over, and those who could maintain their combat effectiveness More than 3,000 soldiers, and another thousand were injured to varying degrees. The rest have already died by the Yishui River. Of the more than a thousand wounded soldiers, about half can return. For the other group of seriously injured, Gao Yuan solemnly Promise them that as long as they are willing to follow the Fufeng soldiers back to Fufeng, well, Gao Yuan will be responsible for the rest of their lives, and they will never end up. The soldiers in the army had a lot of worries, following such a chief, why not worry about it, and why not give his life to him! They knew that it might be better for a soldier to die on the battlefield, and the worst thing is to die. Seriously injured, the whole rest of my life will be lost.

When the other troops started to relax, Gaoyuan's barracks was in full swing. Under the leadership of hundreds of Fufeng soldiers, military training began. Gao Yuan doesn't need to worry about these things, Naba, Yan Haibo, infantry can do it all.

The movement in the Gaoyuan Army naturally attracted many caring people to watch. Zhou Yu and Tan Feng were among them. Compared with Zhou Yu, Tan Feng had a thicker skin. In the first few days, he stayed in Gaoyuan Army almost all day I don't want to walk in the middle, but after watching it for a few days, it becomes boring, because every day, the military exercises are all formations, and there are all kinds of formations, and there is really no other way to see.

This also surprised all the generals in the army. If the formation is good, the combat effectiveness is high. Isn't it true that the honor guards in the royal family of Jicheng have the highest combat effectiveness? Compared with theirs, now it seems that Gao Yuan's troops are comparable to theirs.

However, it is obvious to all that the Fufeng soldiers led by Gao Yuan are superior in fighting power. After much deliberation, only Gao Yuan is deliberately hiding his secrets. In this era, generals have their own methods of training soldiers, and the secret is naturally It is not enough for outsiders, Gao Yuan will definitely not show it in front of everyone.

In this way, after about ten days, Gao Yuan's army finally changed its tactics and began to go out for training. He went out in the morning and came back in the evening. Every soldier trained like a dead dog. People are shaking their heads.

Watching Gao Yuan's military training is just an episode of the people during these days. In these days, all the generals of the Yan Army are watching the grassland and Hangu Pass. The results of the two battles in these two places will greatly affect The future form of the Central Plains.

Not only are they watching, but the entire Central Plains countries have set their sights on these two places. All countries are out to investigate, and even the spies who have been hiding for many years are not concerned about being exposed at this time. The results of the two battles It will affect the next national policy of each country, so they can't help but pay attention to it.

At the foot of Mount Huolan, blood flowed like a river.

General Wang Xiao of the Qin Army hiding in Huolan Mountain followed Li Xin's deployment. After letting go of the Xiongnu King Yemang and several large tribes, the whole army came out to seal the passage of Huolan Mountain. The 80,000 troops , and set up several traps, blocking all possible escape routes for the opponent. If the Huns wanted to return to the grassland, no matter what, they would crash into the ambush he had set up in advance.

In cavalry battles, the focus is on the way to leave the rear, gathering and dividing, east and west, making it impossible to catch their whereabouts. When they lose this mobility feature, they have to face the infantry defending like iron barrels At that time, when he desperately broke through, there was no chance of winning.

Until now, the Huns cavalry still did not give up their plundered property. When they rushed to the foot of Huolan Mountain, they were greeted by the elite of Qin who had recharged their batteries.

The smooth passage of the Huns cavalry in front also made the follow-up troops lose their vigilance. When they saw the black reef-like front line of the Qin army appearing in front, the Huns cavalry were going crazy.

This was a battle without any suspense. The Huns cavalry had no choice. They had to organize their troops again and again to launch a fierce attack on the elites of Qin. The battlefield stretched for tens of miles at the foot of Huolan Mountain. Choose that point to break through, and they will be greeted by the majestic Qin army.

Three days later, the Huns had no more energy to launch a large-scale attack, and at this time, the Qin army counterattacked in due course, with 50,000 cavalry, at this time, only less than 20,000 were left, surrounded by the Qin army.

After Li Tingguiyao persisted for another day, he surrendered to Wang Xiao.

It was really impossible to hold on anymore, nearly 20,000 cavalry were surrounded within a range of less than ten miles, and they could not move at all. It can also kill horses, but without water, it is fatal.

All the Hun cavalry dismounted and put their scimitars on the ground in front of them. For four days, Wang Xiao finally relaxed his frown. The surrender of his opponents was something he could only wish for. It will take at least one day to completely annihilate this group of Hun cavalry. The opponent's surrender allowed him to win a day, and he has to rush to the main battlefield as soon as possible, where the 120,000 troops led by Li Xin are facing The Xiongnu King Yemang and several of the largest Hun tribes, although there are only about 50,000 cavalry, but the combat effectiveness of those Hun cavalry is obviously much stronger than the ones I face, whether it is fighting skills or fighting will.

The Huns who surrendered were tied up with ropes and gathered together in bunches. Their horses and the property they robbed were now the spoils of the Qin army.

"Father, who will take these captives back?" Wang Xiao's son, Wang Jian, ran up to his father excitedly, and looked at the Huns kneeling on the ground surrounded by the Qin army. What a magnificent event in front of Xianyang Palace!"

Wang Xiao laughed, "How can I have someone to escort the prisoners? The general is still waiting for us!"

"No one escorted them?" Wang Jian was taken aback, "Then what should they do? Leave them here!"

Wang Xiao glanced at his son, smiled and made a neck-cutting gesture, Wang Jian's face suddenly changed, "All, all killed?" He exclaimed.

"Kill it!" The smile on Wang Xiao's face disappeared.

"Father, it's ominous to kill prisoners, and there are so many people, this, this... It would be fine if they were fighting each other on the battlefield, but now, like this?" Wang Jian stammered.

"You mean to say that if I kill the prisoners, it will harm my morality, and I'm afraid I will be punished?" Wang Xiao said coldly.

"The child dare not!"

"Remember, we need to race against time. Every bit of time is precious, and every bit of troops is also precious. Although we don't know the news about Hangu Pass yet, Zhao Mu is definitely attacking Hangu Pass. Our troops are empty, if the Hangu Pass is breached, Xianyang will be exposed in front of Zhao Jun. If there is retribution for Daqin, then it will all be on my Wang Xiao's head!" Wang Xiao choked and pulled out his waist His saber was raised high, then suddenly pressed down.

Li Jieguiyao was tied up in the first row, and he was shocked to see that the longbow in the hands of the Qin army in front was raised, and on the bowstring, the sharp arrow shining with cold light was aimed at them, and in an instant, His mind went blank. Is this going to kill them all? The Qin army and the Huns have been fighting for many years, but such a thing has never happened. One side surrenders, and the other side only needs to pay enough ransom afterwards , can save life.

Of course he would not know that after this battle, the Xiongnu will no longer exist as a powerful armed force. Since they can no longer be a team that can affect the general situation of the world, what scruples does the Qin army have? ?

The whistling sound of sharp arrows sounded, and the surrendered Huns knew that the deadline was coming. They roared and cried, got up from the ground, and rushed desperately to the opposite Qin army.

Rows of spears stood up, and groups of Qin troops rushed out. The spears pierced out, and blood burst out. Behind them, sharp arrows were still shooting out endlessly, killing the Huns behind them. Shot down to the ground in rows.

In a remote village fifty miles away from Huolan Mountain, He Lanxiong was anxiously waiting for the news. The sentry cavalry he sent out has not returned yet.

He Lanxiong didn't move with Li Jieguiyao's large army, on the way, he found an excuse, left the large army, and found this place to hide.

Not because of anything else, but on the way back when they were running wildly, He Lanxiong suddenly remembered the battle they had with the Hutu tribe Ratobe in Fufeng.

The scene in front of me is very similar to that battle, but the scale has been enlarged hundreds of times.

Amidst He Lanxiong's restlessness, the sentinels rushed back, the paleness and panic on their faces made He Lanxiong's heart sink.

"Patriarch, all are dead, all are dead!" Sentinel got off his horse, but he didn't stop, but his legs went limp and he collapsed on the ground.

"All dead, tens of thousands of people, were all killed by the Qin army!" rs
