Chapter 151

"Rumble..."

Amidst the thunderous sound of horseshoes, Ma Zhou led dozens of cavalrymen galloping towards them, arranged a cone formation, and slammed hard at the chaotic Jingman.

Jing Man had just experienced a disastrous defeat, and at this moment, his heart was already in a state of disarray. Facing the roaring Han cavalry that roared like a galloping river, some screamed miserably, trying to make a final resistance, but more people chose to run away, because as long as If you can escape into the mountains, you can escape danger.

More than a dozen stubborn hedgehogs who were unwilling to escape gathered together and managed to organize a line of defense. Unfortunately, this line of defense full of loopholes was vulnerable to the cavalry led by Ma Zhou, just like a small boat. In an instant, it was engulfed by the "turbulent waves".

Jingman's last resistance did not achieve any results. Ma Zhou led the charge to ride the waves, chasing the fleeing Jingman non-stop.Since the barbarians only focused on running for their lives, and had no protection for their backs, the cavalry caught up from behind, wielding their long knives, slashing and killing wantonly, without any disadvantage.

The mountains seem to be close at hand, as if they are here in a blink of an eye, but in the end, all the escaped Jingman fell on the road, were killed, or surrendered on their knees, and none of them slipped through the net.

A very young Jing Man with a golden ring in his ear was pierced through his chest by a spear and nailed to the ground. His blood-stained eyes stared blankly at the sky. Only his slightly heaving chest seemed to prove that he was not dead yet.

Ma Zhou rode on a tall green horse, and forcefully pulled out the spear from the young Jingman's body. At the same time, it took away the little life left by Jingman.

Afterwards, Ma Zhou glanced at the gradually subdued battlefield around him, with an unsatisfactory look on his face.

This wasn't the battle he was looking forward to, and it couldn't even be called a battle at all. After Jingman experienced a big defeat, it was difficult to organize a decent resistance, and he only wanted to run for his life. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a one-sided massacre.

With the end of the battle outside the city, cheers erupted in Hengshan City.

The villagers who had been hiding at home also came out of their houses one after another, and the brave ones even ran directly to the battlefield at the north gate. Seeing the horrific death of Jing Man, they couldn't help talking about it.

Someone privately sighed: "I have heard Liu Jun's name of 'cultivating customers' and 'saving neighbors with a letter'. I thought he was a benevolent gentleman, but I didn't expect to have the ability to lead soldiers and kill thieves."

"If Liu Jun has no literary and military talents, and An Neng is not as weak as the crown, he will be entrusted with the task of a hundred miles."

"Right……"

At this moment, Liu Jing, who was being discussed privately by the villagers of Hengshan, was listening to the report of his own casualties.The main infantry in this battle, due to the complete armor, only killed one person and injured more than [-] people.

Most of the injured were injured on the unprotected arms and legs. They were not fatal injuries, and they could recover after a period of recuperation.

The military armor of the Han Dynasty, that is, the armor, can only protect the front chest and back. The more sophisticated armor has shawls and sleeves, which are enough to protect the shoulders and arms, and the armor skirts that protect the legs seem to have not yet appeared.

If you have a chance in the future, maybe you can try to make armor with more protection, such as shawls and armor skirts, and then select brave fighters to form an elite armored army. Even if the number is small, it will definitely be useful.

The two hundred soldiers mainly shot from long distances with bows and crossbows, and did not personally participate in the fight, and only injured a few people.On the other hand, the Hengshan officials on the city wall suffered a lot of casualties in the initial confrontation with Jingman, three people were killed and more than ten people were injured.

But on the whole, at the slight cost of four deaths and more than forty injuries, the complete annihilation of more than three hundred Jingman can be described as a complete victory.

Liu Jing asked the village stingy man to collect villagers and firewood carts to transport all the Jingman corpses out of the city.There were no survivors in this battle, whether they surrendered or were injured, they were all killed by the remaining dozen or so clansmen in a single trip after the battle.

Although Liu Jing was not a murderer, he acquiesced to the one-way behavior. First, the hatred between the two parties was too deep, and it was completely endless.The second is that he intended to use these Jingman's heads to frighten the Hengshan barbarians, so that after he left, the Jingman would not come again to disturb the township of Hengshan.

It cannot be said that this method will definitely work, but Liu Jing thinks that the chance of success is very high. He learned from Shan Cheng that the Jingman coalition forces totaled only 300 soldiers, and the casualties in the attack on Shanjiazhai were definitely not small. More than [-] people were killed, which can be called a serious injury, who would have the courage to seek the bad luck of Hengshan Township again.

Between the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, plagues were rampant, and families were wiped out at every turn, which made people change their expressions. Dead bodies are the most likely to breed plagues. Liu Jing attaches great importance to this. In a barren place, the corpses were concentrated and incinerated.

The village stingy man went away at his command. Many Han people were against cremation, but if the object was changed to Jing Man, there would be no psychological burden.

As soon as he finished explaining the matter, Liu Jing saw Liu Liang returning on his horse, and shouted excitedly from a distance: "Brother Cong..."

Seeing that he came back intact, Liu Jing finally let go of his heart completely, and then turned his eyes to his hand, which actually held a Jing Man's head with a bun.

Liu Liang quickly jumped off the horse, raised Jing Man's head, and said with a proud face: "Brother Cong, I got this."

Liu Jing frowned slightly, feeling disgusted, and at the same time surprised, Liu Liang was only 16 years old this year. If the future generations were to say that he was only 14 years old, he had only learned horse riding and swordsmanship for a year. He personally beheaded a head once on the battlefield, and he talked and laughed freely afterwards without any discomfort. Sure enough, he was born to be a "general seed".

Although he had calmed down, he still had to show his posture, Liu Jing said with a cold face: "Ziming, you are so brave, you dare to go to the battlefield quietly behind my back, do you still have me as a brother in your eyes? Ok?"

Liu Liang casually threw the head onto a passing firewood cart, and begged Liu Jing for mercy: "Brother Cong, I will never dare to make my own claims next time, just because I have gained something this time." Please forgive me this time."

Liu Jing glanced at him and said, "I hope you will remember what I said today, and if you do it again in the future..."

"If you commit another crime in the future, I will follow my brother to deal with it." Liu Liang said it very solemnly, but he didn't take it seriously at all in his heart.

How could Liu Jing fail to see what he was thinking, so he was too lazy to talk too much about this matter, so he asked about the situation of the cavalry.

Liu Liang replied: "Everyone is fine, but two horses were injured."

Liu Jingjing nodded. War horses have big targets. Since ancient times, "shoot people first, shoot horses". Compared with people, war horses lack the necessary protection, and the casualties in battle are far greater than people.

Clan brother Liu Xiu had discussed this topic with him before. According to Liu Xiu, the battle casualty ratio of war horses is about three to four times that of humans.This is why war horses are so precious, they are so delicate.
