Chapter 806: : Another massacre

Raindrops were falling in the sky, and the metal armor made a sound, and the grass on the ground seemed to be moisturized by the rain to appear more alive. . Fastest update

Liu Yan was sitting on a high platform, with a rain canopy above his head. He was watching the battlefield in a state of war.

The incident happened in the early hours of the morning when the peripheral scouts were alert that an unknown army was approaching, and reported to the guard center of the Emperor's Line. As a lieutenant, Zhang Shi was actually very scared and immediately reported to Liu Yan.

At that time, Liu Yan was naturally asleep, but he didn't panic when he heard Zhang Shi's report, let alone give out any instructions, just let Zhang Shi perform his duties.

Zhang Shi is one of the first people to follow Liu Yan, but if he has made any outstanding achievements, he has no success. He has made no mistakes and made no mistakes. He has been paying silently within the scope of his own duties. In the early days, he fought on the intelligence front, and almost all the enemies that should be destroyed later were wiped out. Liu Yan's reward for him was to transfer to the position of lieutenant, one of the nine princes.

The enemy army came from the north, and the number did not exceed 10,000. They couldn't get close to the ten-mile range of the emperor, and they were blocked by the action of the Han cavalry.

The battle started in the early hours of the morning, and the sky was already bright.

In the night battle, even if it is a posture of riding each other at the beginning, after the actual battle, they will dismount their horses and engage in foot battles. After all, the black ink really can't fight a riding battle. People who are on the battlefield want to eliminate the opponent and can only rely on their own legs to walk on the land, otherwise it is most likely that they are driving their horses and hitting people or things that shouldn't be hit.

Under Liu Yan's gaze, the invading enemy forces are already in a situation of being surrounded.

About 20,000 Han troops surrounded the enemy's army layer by layer. The Han troops at the front line were infantry. They formed a tight formation to continuously compress the enemy's space for activity. On the periphery are the cavalry of the Han army. They are cruising slowly. Any enemy that protrudes from the encirclement of their own infantry will be chased by them and killed on the spot.

"Stop the front!"

"Bowmen covered!"

"Pikemen, keep an eye on the enemy troops who are countering the impact."

There are traces of blood on Zhang Shi's armor, but it is not that he was bleeding. He personally committed himself to the fight in the wee hours of the morning, and of course his intention was to express his guilt. After all, it was his negligence for the enemy to touch him.

Look at the enemy soldiers. They don't have uniform uniforms. They have a variety of weapons. There are obvious traces of ashes on their bodies. They should be attacked by passing through the extinguished arson zone for a short distance.

The war has entered the final stage, and the Han army has also captured some prisoners alive. The information obtained is that this group of enemy troops was originally more than 16,000 people, and they were roundabout from the north of Junji Mountain. It was indeed. Passed through the arson zone.

"Your Majesty." Sang Yu was not interested in the ongoing war at all. He held a report and read it out when he got a signal: "General Zhengbei has arrived at the enemy's position. The attack has been launched."

Counting the time, Li Tan's subordinate should have arrived one day ago, and there is a day's delay in sending this report.

Liu Yan turned his head and glanced at Sang Yu, saw that Sang Yu still had a second piece of information in his hands, and turned his head to look at the location of the battlefield again.

"It's about Rouran's information." Sang Yu read it again before reading, "Woliga, who commanded Rouran's army to fight Donggao Che, received an order from Yu Jiulübati. Yu Jiulübati's The order is for Olga to withdraw."

Speaking of it, the official communication between Han and the Royal Court of Rouran has been broken for nearly ten days. After Yu Jiulü Bati returned to the Royal Court, he began to shrink his troops and troops, and even the front-line troops were transferred back. Why? It doesn't look simple.

"It seems that Dahan has lost the biggest thug on the grassland." Liu Yan looked at Lu Tai standing aside and said, "Heng'an, you return to your shogunate and continue to confront Donggaoche and Tuoba's remnants. Murong's remnant maintained a high-pressure campaign."

Lu Tai had already prepared the relevant mentally, and after he officially received the order, he walked away.

Sang Yu waited for Lu Tai to step off the platform before asking, "Your Majesty, do we need to prepare for a war with Rouran?"

"Zi Shen thinks Rouran will fight the big man?" Liu Yan saw Sang Yu hesitate to answer, and said with a smile: "Deterioration has become a foregone conclusion."

Sang Yu understands that the big man actually doesn't want to start a war against Rouran. He only needs to raise the necessary alert level. The two sides will enter the confrontation phase, depending on whether Rouran has the courage to start the war.

The battlefield has been completely over. Enemies who have been surrounded by layers and have no possibility of breaking through, they choose to abandon their weapons and kneel down when they die with more than 5,000 people left.

It didn't take long before Zhang Shi came to report in the dust. There was nothing to say during the battle. The main thing was to inform the enemy who was assigned, what the battle intention was, and how many people were there when they set off.

"Is the Fu family?" Sangyu is certainly not unfamiliar with the Di family of the Di family. The former Fu Hong was in Shijie and Zhao Guo but as a hegemon, and Li Nong and Yao Yizhong were the same three giants outside the Jie family. one. He learned from Zhang Shi that Fu Hong had passed away from illness. Zhang Shi's source was naturally the prisoners, so he asked with a hesitant expression: "Can you believe it?"

The Han country has always attached great importance to the news about Fuhong. Some time ago, the news of Fuhong's serious illness had been learned from the Western Regions, but the severely ill Fuhong still went to Qiuci in person.

"Fu Hong is ill, and he traveled a long distance to Yancheng (the capital of Qiuci) in order to organize the people of the Western Regions to prevent the Han's invasion of the Western Regions." Although Zhang Shi was one of the lieutenants of the Jiuqing, he also served as an intelligence advisor. Management of the organization: "Our spies sent back reports from the Western Regions. The Kuuci National Medicine described Fu Hong’s condition as dying. There are also rumors that Fu Hong had died of illness halfway through the evacuation of Yancheng, but he just failed to provide information. Verify."

Liu Yan had already known this information. Although Sang Yu was one of the three men's magistrate, there was no need to know everything.

Looking at Liu Yan's expression, Sang Yu guessed about Fu Hong's information. Liu Yan had known it a long time ago. He wasn't so stupid to ask why he wasn't told, he was saying, "So now that the remnant of the Di tribe should be led by Fu Jian?"

Fu Hong has a lot of brothers and sisters. One of his younger brothers was killed in the battle with the Han army, and the other was simply missing. He has many children and grandchildren. The eldest son and second son died early. The third son Fu Jian is a very good figure in the family, and the fourth son Fu Xiong is much more reckless. The best grandson is Fu Jian.

"Fujian is the lieutenant of Longdu in that coalition." Zhang Shi was talking about the information sent back by Li Tan, and then finally remembered what he should ask for: "Your Majesty, what should I do with the prisoners of war?"

Liu Yan has learned that as a ruler, he can speak less and never speak, especially if he has a personal historian to record his words and deeds, even if he does not care, he must also consider what effect his words and deeds will have on future generations. .

No, the historian sitting on his knees, he faithfully put up a note: On July 21st of the tenth year of Yuanshuo (AD 351), Lieutenant Zhang Shi and Xingyuan asked the emperor, the disposal plan for the defeated and captured soldiers. .

In such a matter, Liu Yan would not have any scruples, and simply spit out the word "punish" from his mouth.

The historian once again brought up a record: The emperor said "punish", and there were no enemy soldiers who attacked the emperor's shaft.

As a historian, you must be loyal to history, but historians must also have a tendency. For example, to record what is currently happening, a special item is pointed out at the end of the section "The Son of Heaven said "Zhu"". Those who were killed after the defeat came to attack. The enemy soldier of the emperor.

The killing of prisoners was regarded as ominous by Zhu Xia, but there were always some special cases. Among them, there was no unclear distinction between anyone who attacked the emperor, and there was a list of those who must die.

Naturally, Liu Yan would not go to see the massacre of prisoners of war. He got off the platform and walked back to the military tent. Outside, the prisoners of war had been escorted to the open field in groups.

The prisoners of war were first asked to dig pits. Of course, the statement given was not to bury them, but to bury the people who died before.

On the other side, the cleaning of the battlefield continues. The remains of the dead on both sides will be distinguished. The remains of the dead of the Han army will be cremated, and the remains of the enemy soldiers will really be on the spot. bury.

The Han army has always had the habit of cremating fellow soldiers who died in battle. After being transported back to China, the family members can choose whether to transport them to their hometown for burial or send them to the Martyrs Garden in Changguang County. Generally, most family members choose the Martyrs Garden, which is the largest military cemetery in Han, and there is an official public sacrifice ceremony every year.

In such an era, official public sacrifices are highly valued, and the second is to be able to enjoy the incense provided by non-single family members. Generally speaking, they are regarded as a process of becoming gods. The soldiers of the Han army have a common name that they may die in battle. , That is to become a **** in battle, to some extent, it is one of the foundations to support the high morale of the Han army.

Among the prisoners of war, there were still smart people who knew that they could not survive at all, but those who resisted by action were very few. Surviving, or working with the idea of ​​digging a good grave for himself.

Behind the Han army was supervising the prisoners of war to bring the dead enemies to bury them, waiting for the bodies to be cleaned up. The prisoners of war were **** in strings. During the process, the resistance of the prisoners was a little bit fierce, and it was inevitably full. After crying, begging for mercy, yelling, etc., but still won't change the fate he faces.

What I have to say is that the Han army is no longer working and burying things. I don't think that it is cruel, but that it is considering the follow-up impact. What they do will be recorded, and burying them after they are killed will appear a little more civilized. Anyway, they will have less impact than the live burial recorded in history books.

An unsuccessful attack that can almost be described as a "farce" has passed. Liu Yan has no intention to leave. They are located in the southeast of Rouran's border, and they have formed a fight with the frontier army on the grassland. Rouran's monitoring, then, must wait for the results of Li Tan's attack.

During the waiting period, Liu Yan’s daily life can only be summed up in monotony, but in such an era when there is almost no entertainment, even if he returns to Miyagi, there is actually no entertainment every day after dealing with national affairs, just listening. Listening to music or songs, then watching various dances, another entertainment is only hunting.

The battle encountered by the emperor's patrol team has not been kept secret. In fact, it should not be kept secret. The more you cover it, the easier it is to produce bad rumors. It is better to make an announcement through official channels, which can also have a positive effect.

When the news spread to the country, the frontier army in northern Xinjiang made what it should do, moved forward appropriately within the jurisdiction, and dispatched mobile troops to the emperor's line to wait for assignment.

The Central Plains or other regions will receive news for many days at night, and they will have their own reactions depending on the location of the region, but when they get the news, the emperor's patrol team will be outdated no matter what happens.

Liu Yan actually cares about what public opinions and actions are happening across the country about what happened on his side. It is inevitable to induce some dormant careerists, and all localities must also prepare in advance for clearance after discovery. Furthermore, he also knew that the Chang'an Center would be very nervous, and indispensably, there would be new important ministers rushing over, with the eager anticipation of begging Liu Yan to go back.

Li Tan did not let Liu Yan wait for long. It took seven days from the departure to the conclusion of the war. That was because they carried artillery, and there were a considerable number of simple grenade, which is fully like the world's proof of no matter how strong the fortifications are. Will also become scum under the power of gunpowder.

"The enemy army escaped less than 20,000 yuan, and the rest were left behind." Sang Yu could imagine what kind of panic the enemy had in the face of a firearm attack. He had already seen that scene again and again in Liaodong with his own eyes: "Fu Jianhe Most of the Di people have fled ~www.wuxiax.com~General Hussars will intercept them." Liu Yan is not only able to give orders to a certain army, as long as he can contact the troops that can be commanded, he can even count them. Unclear: "The garrison in Hunxie Mountain will temporarily be under the command of General Hussars, plus the three thousand cavalry at the headquarters of General Hussars, which is enough for chase warfare."

To intercept Fu Jian, the defeated army, only a few limited directions are enough. There are many places where the grassland was burned to ashes. Fu Jian sent 16,000 people to attack the constriction, and only those who successfully passed through the ashes area More than 8,000 people, half of them were lost in the space full of ashes. If Fu Jian chooses to escape to the Ash Zone, Ash will not be merciful because of his noble status. For example, the Ding Ling who was supposed to command the troops to attack the Emperor's Cowl died in the Ash Zone.

"The enemy army a little bit earlier, they would rather die on the spot than daring to run in again (the ash area), which shows how dangerous it is inside." Sang Yu was actually curious about what it was like inside. In the ashes area, some army doctors dissected the enemy's autopsy and found that the trachea and lungs were still full of ashes: "Even if we didn't kill all of them, most of them will die later, right?"

So, Liu Yan ordered the masks to be made and put on. He also knew that the wind was blowing a lot of ashes into the territory of Rouran, and he doubted that the people of Rouran would think it was a conspiracy of the Han country after a group of people died.
