Chapter 176
Chapter 176
Liu Min and Gong Zhi fought against Badan, the leader of Xiongxi, which greatly encouraged the momentum of the Han army, and coupled with the superiority of numbers and weapons at this time, the barbarians began to show defeat.
But Bataan is very brave, plus jungle fighting, can not ride a horse, which makes it difficult for Liu Min and Gong Zhi to adapt. After more than a dozen rounds, the two of them were already exhausted and panting, only parrying, and there was no way to fight back.
It will be the courage of the soldiers, and the low momentum of the barbarians gradually rises again, and the battle is very fierce.
Bataan became more and more courageous in the battle, and Liu Min and Gong Zhi were anxious and a little flustered.
Originally, the situation was already very unfavorable for them, and this distraction, Gong Zhi's big gun in his hand did not hold steadily, and was suddenly shocked out by Bataan's wide-backed big knife.
Immediately after, Bataan's big knife turned, and the blade went straight to Gong Zhi's neck.
"Be careful!" Liu Min shouted, and the spear was waved, struggling to block.
Only listening to the sound of "dang", although Badan's knife was blocked, Liu Min's arms were sore, the tiger's mouth was cracked, and the big gun in his hand also flew away.
"Ha..." Bataan burst into a maniacal laugh, "Han Army rats, go and die!" Bataan
raised the large knife in his hand and slashed it down diagonally.
Liu Min and Gong Zhi, looking at the big knife dangling brightly, hurriedly flashed to the side.
The big knife was empty, but the strong knife wind made both of them feel a hot pain on their faces.
But at this moment, Liu Min's foot tripped over a tree root, did not stand firmly, and fell to the ground.
How could Bataan pass up this good opportunity? Once again, he raised his big knife and slashed it down.
It was too late to dodge, there were no weapons in the parrying hand, Liu Min secretly shouted, "My life is at rest!" He closed his eyes helplessly.
"General Liu..." exclaimed Gong Zhi, but there was nothing he could do.
"Ahh
"This..."
Liu Min and Gong Zhi were surprised to find that a feather arrow had penetrated Badan's heart socket, and there was still a piece of meat hanging from the arrow, dripping blood down.
"Kill!" At the same time, a shout of killing came from all over the mountains, and then a group of Han troops came out, rushing in front of Deng Ai, holding a large bow in his hand.
It turned out that the army of the lord Liu Jun had killed.
"Kill!" Liu Min and Gong Zhi immediately picked up their weapons and rushed towards the barbarians.
At this time, the barbarian army was already leaderless and extremely panicked. Coupled with the arrival of Han reinforcements, the number of people was overwhelming, and the army could not be defeated at once.
After the leader of those barbarians was beheaded, Liu Jun led an army and also appeared, encircling all the barbarians.
"Surrender without killing!" Liu Jian gulped.
"Surrender without killing!"
"Surrender without killing!"
The Han soldiers shouted in unison.
There were also about two thousand barbarians, who looked at the dense Han army around them and knew that they could not rush out at all, so they looked at each other, threw away their weapons one after another, and knelt on the ground.
"Lord, it is not good for the last general to fight, and please ask the Lord to punish the crime!" Liu Min and Gong Zhi came to Liu Jun and knelt down to plead guilty.
Although this battle was won, the price was very large, and more than a thousand soldiers were lost.
Jingzhou took the route of elite soldiers, and every soldier spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to train.
"You're not wrong, get up!" Liu Jun waved his hand, looking at the dead and wounded soldiers, Liu Jun's heart was also dripping blood, it was obvious that he estimated the combat strength of the Wuxi barbarians a little weakly, "Immediately treat the wounded soldiers and collect the prisoners!" "
No!"
This time it was a jungle battle, and there were many military doctors with him, and according to Liu Jun's requirements, no matter how light or serious the injuries were, as long as they could be treated, none of them could give up.
For those barbarians, the lightly injured were also treated, and the seriously injured were directly given a pain.
The temperature in the mountains and forests was relatively high, and the weather was sweltering, so Liu ordered all the corpses to be buried deeply, and the corpses in the river were also salvaged and buried, so as not to cause the plague.
Two hours later, the entire battlefield was cleared. Liu Jun led the army down the river towards the residence of the Xiongxi tribe.
At this time, the rest of the tribe was old and young and women. When they saw the arrival of the Han army, they were very frightened and fled everywhere.
But on all sides were Han soldiers, with long knives dangling in their hands. They scurried like headless flies, and after a while, they all gathered together trembling.
Liu ordered the soldiers to move all the barbarians' belongings, and then set fire to these grass houses and huts.
These barbarians watched all this helplessly, but did not dare to make any moves. Because the soldiers of their own ethnic group who protected them were also all guarded by the Han army, of course, many did not return, they naturally understood that those people were dead.
In order to completely solve the problem of Wuling, it is necessary to sinicize these barbarians, and the first step in sinicization is to let them leave the mountains and forests and turn hunting into agriculture.
There were more than 20,000 barbarians here, and Liu Wei ordered Gong Zhi and Liu Min to lead an army of 8,000 Han to escort the barbarian prisoners and all these barbarians to the outside of Wuling City, and then Liao Li, Jiang Wan, Liu Ba and others placed them in the four counties of Jingnan, built houses for them, allocated land, and forced farming.
After the barbarians were taken away, Liu ordered the soldiers to camp along Xiongxi and bury pots to cook.
In the battle of Xiongxi, although more than a thousand soldiers were lost, the whole battle was quite smooth, and the problem of Xiongxi was completely solved, and Liu Wei was relatively satisfied.
In the evening, Liu Qiang was watching the map of Wuxi drawn for him by Ma Liang in the marshal's tent, the soldier's report, and Deng Ai asked to see him.
Liu Jun immediately let Deng Ai in.
"See the Lord!"
"Shizai is exempt!"
"Master, my subordinates think that our strategy against Wuxi will change, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed in each defeat!"
"Shi Zai is right, Xiongxi Bataan is destroyed, and the other four streams will probably unite!" Liu Jian nodded.
Xiongxi was the weakest of the Five Streams, and it was the closest to Wuling, and the original plan was that they could take it without bloodshed, and then split into two ways and attack Youxi and Yuanxi. But they didn't expect that Xiongxi's combat power was stronger than they thought, so the strength of the other four streams, they needed to re-evaluate. Four Creeks Alliance, there is a whole 20,000 troops!
"Master, I want to do this..." Deng Ai told Liu Jun in detail what he thought.
After Liu Jun listened, he immediately felt that his heart was suddenly bright.
"The method of Shizai is wonderful! But..." Liu Jian frowned slightly, "The terrain of Wuxi is complicated, in the jungle, it is not easy to march, if you go deep inside, in case there is an accident..."
"Lord rest assured, the Feitian Camp has been doing mountain warfare training, and it will definitely be able to adapt to this condition!" Deng Aimat's mat was full of confidence, "But the lord here, the pressure will increase!"
"Shizai rest assured, Liu Min and Gong Zhi will arrive in twenty days at most, when are you going to leave?"
"Two hours later, set off overnight!"
"Well, be careful!"
"No!"
