Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 170 Wang Li: Draw lots
"happy!"

Holding a bloody human head in his hand, Huyan Punu raised his head to the sky and howled like a wolf.

He remembered the owner of this head, his most trusted friend, but after Mao Dun killed his father, this man turned his back on him and became a dog of Mao Dun, and then took away his most beloved woman!
In the distance, those Hu Qi and Qin people who were also beheading also echoed with howls of wolves.

Seeing this scene, Wang Li shook his head helplessly.

The Qin people are assimilating the Hu people, and the Hu people are also assimilating the Qin people.

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

According to the order before the war, all injured Hun men will be beheaded to record their merits. As for the shepherds, old and weak women and children who surrendered, they will be registered and used to calculate meritorious service.

What shocked Wang Li the most was that when the Huyan Punu warriors were almost hunted down, Huyan Punu just stepped forward and shouted a few words, so the women and children who had escaped from the encirclement actually stopped in their tracks, like a Obey the Qin people who just killed their father and brother like a lamb!

Therefore, when the army pressed the captives back to the Huns' grazing point, the task of driving the livestock was taken over by the captives again.

"Report to the general, this battle has been victorious. Our army beheaded 970 people and captured 660 old and weak women and children, more than [-] horses, and more than [-] cattle and sheep!"

Listening to Jun Sima's report, Wang Li frowned slightly: "Choose some strong and strong beheads from the captives, and make up a total of [-]!"

According to the law of Qin, if more than [-] beheads were beheaded in field battles, the generals would only be awarded one level of merit.

After Army Sima left, Wang Li looked up at the sky and decided that the army would set up camp here tonight.

Although it is customary to reward wine and meat after a big victory, at this moment they are still in an enemy's territory, drinking too much is courting death, so in the distressed eyes of the captives, a large number of cattle and sheep were slaughtered to reward the soldiers.

Wang Li directed the soldiers to set up the camp in the form of an army formation, and several five hundred masters led their subordinates to dig horse traps around the camp and spread caltrops.

This is used to prevent the fish that slipped through the net and attract the nearby Huns tribe to launch a night attack on the Qin army.

"General, what about those people?" Huyan Punu washed off the blood on his body, walked to Wang Li and asked.

What he asked were the Hun captives who were surrounded by the army.

Wang Li swung the mallet and smashed an iron wedge into the ground.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, he has to do the work himself, which is a rule taught by Wang Jian since he was a child.

"What should I do?" Wang Li straightened up, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Huyan Punu said in a low voice: "I don't know how the Qin army will deal with the prisoners, but according to the rules of the Huns, women should be divided after dark!"

Wang Li looked at the heads hanging on the flagpoles around the camp with a surprised expression: "Huh? You mean, right here?"

Huyan Punu looked indifferent: "Prairie people don't talk about that, as long as you are strong enough, after you defeat the enemy, you can even take his wife and daughter in front of a man!"

"But since we are ordered to go out of the fortress, we can't let these women slow down our progress..."

Huyan Punu approached Wang Li, whispered in his ear, "Let our people have fun tonight, and kill all the captives and cattle and sheep that cannot be taken away tomorrow morning!"

"You're crazy!" Wang Li pushed him away, eyes wide open:

"These are all our spoils of war! What are the soldiers working so hard for? Military exploits!"

"The heads of the old and the weak, women and children can't remember merit at all!"

Huyan Punu said loudly: "Then tell me, what should we do? Can we march with these people?"

Wang Li thought for a while and said calmly, "Let's divide up the troops. Temporarily arrange some soldiers to escort the captives and livestock to the south of the Great Wall..."

Huyan Punu sneered: "Do you know why these people surrendered to us?"

Wang Li shook his head and did not speak.

Huyan Punu said: "Those who are older are worried about losing their herds, and will freeze to death and starve to death on the grassland. And those women, because their father and brother died, will become family members even if they escape to other tribes. slave girl!"

"That's why they surrendered to us after the man died in battle!"

"Look at them carefully, they are ready, ready to be carried into the tent by any man!"

"If you don't follow the rules of the grassland, they will be worried that they will be killed at any time! When you let them drive their herds to migrate south of the Great Wall, you will see their true strength and courage!"

Wang Li was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "Qin Lv, the military city has no women!"

In the armies of various countries, most of them will have women.

This tradition has existed since the Spring and Autumn Period a long time ago. For example, Guan Zhong of Qi State and Gou Jian of Yue State comforted soldiers by recruiting women into military camps.

The latter is to let the soldiers vent, while the former can also tax the women to fill the treasury after letting the soldiers vent.

However, with the advent of the Warring States Period, there were frequent attacks among the nations.

Gradually, some leading generals felt that this kind of behavior would wear down the combat effectiveness of soldiers. If there are women in the army, the morale will decline. If a woman is in the army, everyone will lose their minds on training and combat.

So with a swipe of Shang Jun's pen, there were no more female concubines around Qin's army.

As for Fusu, with a swipe of his pen, there is no longer any official daughter-in-law under the name of the Shaofu...

"Qin Lv, Qin Lv..." Huyanpu Nu murmured these two words in a low voice, then spread his hands together: "Then what do you say?"

Wang Li thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea. He turned his head and said to the 'Jun Dian' who was staring at him, "All the army gather, and then call those Hun girls over!"

Jun Dian frowned slightly and motioned to Wang Li with his eyes, wanting him to repeat it again.

Jun Dian is in charge of military criminal law, and has the power to kill officers under [-] shi in wartime. In fact, it was called "Jun Zheng" at the earliest time. Because it avoided the taboo of the first emperor, it was renamed Jun Dian.

Wang Li nodded to him, indicating that he would not break the law knowingly.

After a while, the whole army lined up on the east side of the camp except for the Qin army who was standing guard outside.

Those Hun women wearing clothes made of animal skins stood in a scattered formation opposite the army formation.

Wang Li heaved a sigh of relief after listening to the news about the beheadings and the number of Xiongnu women reported by the military commander.

Fortunately, there is not much difference in the number of the two, and the best thing is that the number of women is greater than that of heroes.

Wang Li was going to distribute the Xiongnu women to meritorious soldiers. The specific rules are that the women are numbered, and then put the numbers in the wooden box, and let the meritorious soldiers come forward to draw, which one is which!
In a short time, when dusk fell, the drawing of lots was completed and the names were determined, but the consummation of the house had to wait until after returning to the station.

So beside the bonfire in the camp, the aroma of barbecue and the sound of singing and laughing were everywhere.
