Chapter 502

In the history of Chinese war, like the Qin army, it is unique that tens of thousands of cavalry were completely surrounded by infantry with the help of a river in an open place, without even a chance to break through.

Because it's too difficult. You can't do it with many people. Even if you have many cavalry, you won't watch yourself surrounded.

We broke through early.

Moreover, the most important reason why Qin Huan could do it was that the 100000 cavalry did not have a real backbone. It was not too much to describe it with a plate of scattered sand.

Then there was the control of people's hearts. With the help of the cavalry's mentality of anxious to cross the river and leave here, Qin Huan used warm water to cook frogs, so that the cavalry could always see hope, and then pushed forward step by step until they were completely surrounded, and then burned the bridge and cut off the hope of these people.

If the bridge was burned at the beginning, these cavalry would break through immediately in despair. Whether they went east or west, the Qin army could not stop them at that time, at least not all the Tartars.

Even in order to make these Tartars feel urgent, Qin Huan scrambled to cross the river. He deliberately asked Cao Bianjiao to wear a tie and cavalry to his side.

Sure enough, whether dorgun or the leaders of Mongolian tribes, they didn't want to defeat Cao Bianjiao's cavalry at this time, but wanted to cross the river early.

Although everyone knows that those who fall last certainly can't cross the river, similarly, no one thinks they will fall last. If these 100000 cavalry are of the same family, this will not happen. However, the fact is just the opposite.

As dusk approached, corpses piled up like mountains and burned crackling. The corpses of a horse were carried down by the young and strong. Almost all the people in the nearby villages, men, women, young and old, came. Everyone went back happily with a large piece of horse meat.

No way. Although the war just now was short, 15000 Tartars were killed. Nearly 13000 war horses fell, and the remaining 2000 were abandoned. So many war horses will rot in such hot weather in one night, so they must be eaten immediately.

Even if 300000 troops are open to eat, so much horse meat can't be eaten in a meal, so they have to be distributed to the people nearby.

The remaining nearly 40000 Tartars watched as the battlefield was gradually cleaned up. The Qin army in all directions began to form a team and prepare to press up. The leaders finally stopped arguing.

As the leaders of some small tribes hung machetes, bows and arrows on horseback and walked forward with their people on foot, more and more Tartars chose to follow. Finally, more than 10000 Han soldiers on the beach followed on foot.

If they were Houjin and other grassland tribes, these Tartars would rather fight to the death, but the Han people were always kind, so all Tartars chose to gamble.

Qin Huan really didn't want to kill prisoners, because it's unnecessary. Living people are always more valuable than a corpse.

What's more, they are still several versatile horsemen and archers. In the future, they will be more suitable for the post-war golden cavalry and the tribes in Moxi and Mobei.

Ordinary tartar cavalry did not kill, but it did not mean that those leaders would be spared. Their invasion caused at least 100000 casualties, and hundreds of villages were broken.

Therefore, not only the leader of the Tartars, but also the traitors and officers. No matter what officials, even one person will die.

After the surrender of ordinary Tartars and ordinary Han soldiers, they were taken to the camp bound in advance for collective resettlement. Each person had not only a piece of horse meat, but also a steamed bread. All the leaders and officers were taken to another place and tied up directly.

There are more than 3000 people. Even if these people have a premonition that something bad is going on, they can only be appointed. They are escorted by cavalry overnight to the counties and towns that have been harmed. After a public trial, they are handed over to the people.

Compared with those who surrendered, the treatment of more than 50000 war horses was countless times better.

At the first time, he was taken care of by Haosheng. Not only beans were eaten, but each horse also had an egg to supplement nutrition. Even a special veterinarian checked them one by one, but no one thought it was too much. Even Qin Huan, a modern man, now thinks that horses should live better than people.

Moreover, these war horses have lost weight seriously. If they are not well raised for a month, they may be abandoned in the end and have to pull carts to farm.

After counting, there were more than 56000 war horses, which made Qin Huan and the cavalry camp happy.

Especially the guard camp, which still rode the South pony, shouted to change horses at the first time.

"Your Majesty, this is the casualty statistics of our army during the day!"

As another logistics officer threw out the booklet, the generals in the account became quiet from sunny to cloudy. Obviously, they all knew that the casualties were not small.

Qin Huan took the book and looked at it. His face became heavy, because they still killed more than 7000 people and injured more than 3000. Most of them were long soldiers. If the Tartars killed by rockets were removed, the war damage ratio of both sides would be almost the same.

If you change an infantry soldier to a cavalry soldier, you will definitely make a lot of money, but during the day, the other party has been completely surrounded by them, and even there is no room for maneuver. With the sharp weapon of Changge, it is still unacceptable to play one-to-one.

Qin Huan estimated that his 300000 troops would not be able to win the 100000 cavalry. Of course, it would be a draw at most. No one could win.

However, it is obvious that the victory or defeat of the war can not be measured only by the actual combat strength of both sides. This is the best example.

They occupy the right time, place and people. On the contrary, they don't occupy the other party, so even if they have more than 100000 cavalry, they will be dragged down by a decent battle in the end.

For three days in a row, the army was stationed by the Yellow River. After a bloody war, the recruits needed time to settle down.

The war horses needed to recuperate, and the prisoners also needed to be taken in and reorganized. Anyway, now they were in a position to win. Even though there were still more than 100000 cavalry and 200000 infantry on the north bank, Qin Huan was confident.

Because Hou Jin's weakness was too obvious and fatal, first of all, there were too many food and grass, and then there were too many vassal soldiers, which could not be compared with that of Meng Yuan.

They bullied and bullied the dynasty dominated by the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty. If any dynasty in history occupied half of the south, the Eight Banners could not bite down.

After being educated, the more than 10000 traitors directly joined the towns and battalions to make up for the damage caused by the war. After all, they were all veterans. After the surrender, Jin was coerced by the generals.

It would be far fetched to talk about the great national righteousness with some ignorant military men who don't know big words and can't guarantee food and clothing.

That's why Qin Yu gave them a chance, because they didn't know the great righteousness of the nation before. Maybe what they thought all day was to eat and protect their lives and how to live.

But those generals are different. Even if they can't read, they all know that surrendering to foreigners is a traitor, not to mention those scholars.

If ordinary soldiers can spare their lives and generals can not harm their families and clansmen, those civil servants and scholars must copy their families and destroy their families. They should not only cut off their children and grandchildren, but also build steles to warn future generations.
