Chapter 293 0288 [Zhang Du's position is not lost]
"How's the injury?" Zhu Ming asked.
Li Bao stood up quickly, and was pushed down by Zhu Ming to sit down again, he said with a smile: "The barbarians' bows and arrows are not very good, they hit two arrows, one arrow didn't even penetrate the leather armor, and the other arrow just penetrated the flesh without hurting the bones. On the contrary, someone stabbed a spear in the calf, so it is not very convenient to walk."
"I'll get you a pair of armor next time." Zhu Ming promised.
Li Bao smiled and said, "That's very good."
After a few more words of encouragement, Zhu Ming went to visit the other wounded.
There were not many doctors in the army, and Yu Wenchang took away almost all the doctors in Lizhou City, and also brought some of these doctors' apprentices.
Regarding the treatment of trauma, Ju Ming gave several rigid rules.
The sackcloth used to bind a wound must be thrown into water and boiled.
He also prepared some distilled wine and distilled it repeatedly, but he didn't know the degree.Anyway, first wipe the wound with boiled sackcloth, then smear it with distilled wine, apply trauma herbs and then bandage.
Those brewing workshops inside and outside Lizhou City learned the distillation method.
Commoners actually like to drink baijiu. Compared with rice wine, it doesn't cost much to buy wine to get drunk.
Zhu Ming checked the injuries one by one, talking nonsense nonsense.
Ask the wounded if they are in pain, if they have received enough food and wages, and if they have any difficulties at home.
Pure hypocrisy, but the effect is amazing.
Because the soldiers felt that they were valued, the county magistrate cared so much about him, which was unprecedented.
A lot of food and livestock were seized, and Zhu Ming ordered some of them to be killed, trying to make the wounded eat as much meat as possible.
Due to the small number of soldiers, the civilian husbands are also feigning attacks to distract the defenders.
None of these civilian men wore armor, even if it was just a feint attack, the casualty rate was the highest.Regardless of whether they were injured or not, Zhu Ming gave them extra meals as a whole, and distributed the captured barbarian weapons to them.
The barbarians who surrendered, defected, and were captured were selected and trained as three commanders with 1500 people.
Also give enough food and promise post-war rewards.
To show his sincerity and making great contributions to Qu Mang, Zhu Ming gave him a standard strong bow.There are also several little ghost masters who reward each other with cloth and other things.
Then some barbarian captives were compiled as civilian husbands to carry supplies.
And those Han peasants selected five hundred young men and gave them barbarian weapons, which were transformed into auxiliary soldiers on the spot.
The strength of the army exceeded 5000, and there were more than [-] including the barbarians.
But it was said that the unlucky bastard in the huli led eight hundred elite barbarians, and finally went around to the destination at night, and found that it was an empty camp.
Biao Li was bewildered, completely confused.
what's the situation?
So he sent people across the river to ask questions in the village, but he was killed and retreated by the night watchmen as soon as he landed.
"Why was Luo Luolong captured?" Piao Li couldn't figure it out, and didn't dare to think about it, so he immediately led his troops to flee, for fear of being left behind by the Han soldiers at dawn.
Deng Chun chased into the mountains with his cavalry, and came back at night, beheading more than a hundred barbarians along the way, and captured dozens of villages.
……
Behind, the village by the river.
Zhang Tang sat down out of breath, his arms were sore from drawing the bow.
A Fu, the ghost master who hid in the mountains, learned that the main force of the Han soldiers had gone far, and immediately brought his troops back.He called together the young and strong tribes in the nearby mountains, including children as young as twelve or thirteen, and finally gathered more than [-] people.
But Zhang Tong only had [-] soldiers in his hands, and there was a lot of grain piled up in the bunker, and he also collected clay pots and pots to hold fresh water in advance.
Enough to feed them for more than half a month.
The barbarians fought from noon until dark, but they were still unable to break through the fortress, and instead lost dozens of people themselves.
"Tou, these barbarians are too inexperienced to attack, and even many people can't attack them." The officer under his command said with a smile.
At the beginning, everyone was a little scared, but gradually they became more and more confident.
The barbarian climbed up the ladder and the rakeman pushed the ladder away.
The barbarians attacked from the corridor on the ground floor, facing wolves and spears.
The squad leaders were still standing on the top floor, condescending and shooting arrows continuously.
Although Afu had more than 1000 barbarians in his hands, he could only send 40 to [-] each time he organized an attack, because there was no place to attack no matter how many people there were.
Every time he attacked, he couldn't hold on for more than 10 minutes. Zhang Tong led more than a dozen team leaders to shoot arrows, and they were able to defeat the barbarians who attacked the fortress.
Zhang Tong said: "The first, second and third teams take turns to be vigilant. The rest of the soldiers, eat and rest quickly. Tomorrow, take precautions against the barbarians demolishing the wall foundation. Today they will try to bring down the bunker."
"Yes!"
The next day, in the morning.
The ghost master Afu once again organized soldiers to attack, but failed three times in a row, all the barbarians were frowning.
Although there are many of them, their combat effectiveness is not strong, and there are even minors recruited temporarily.
The cage castle is too strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. They built it themselves, and they should have cut corners in the first place.
"Abba, I can't fight anymore, and I can't get in if I fight again." The eldest son Nuo Ke complained.
The second son Li socks also said: "The big ghost master Busu has many soldiers, let's take the path in the mountains and take all the people to join him."
The rest of the barbarians also persuaded them one after another.
The ghost master Afu was hesitant, and tried to organize an attack in the afternoon, but still lost troops and made no progress.
The [-] Han soldiers in charge of staying behind not only did not appear to be killed, but no one was even injured!
The straight stone bunker is several stories high, how can the barbarians get in?
Looking at the barbarians outside, Zhang Tong decided to spend another half day before trying to attack at night tonight.
The barbarians suffered setbacks for two consecutive days, and their morale must have been low.Moreover, there are so many barbarian soldiers, it is hard to predict that the Han soldiers will take the initiative to fight out. Tonight's night attack will most likely be successful.
"wrong!"
In the middle of the afternoon, Zhang Tong noticed something unusual.
After the first attack in the afternoon, the attack intensity of the barbarians dropped significantly.The defenders fired a few arrows casually, and the barbarians quickly fled.
No matter how low morale is, it is impossible to drop so quickly.
Taking advantage of the gap between the attacks, Zhang Tong called the team leaders: "I'm afraid the thieves are going to escape tonight. They will attack the Cage Castle in the afternoon, just pretending to confuse us. I plan to lead my troops to fight out tonight!"
"It's better to guard it, and be safer." The speaker was a local military officer, whose position was the same as that of Zhang Tong.
Zhang Tong shook his head: "Whether the thief wants to escape or not, I plan to attack at night tonight!"
At night, the ghost master Afu really wanted to leave.
Instead of leaving along the river, he wanted to lead his troops back to the mountains, cross mountains and mountains to meet Busu, but he didn't know that Busu had already been defeated and fled.
Zhang Ting waited for a long time before he came out with his soldiers.
"Dutou, there is no one in the cage castle elsewhere in the village, and those barbarians have all fled!"
"Fire the torch and search for traces everywhere ahead."
The enemy either left along the river bank from the south, or returned the same way and entered the mountain from the east.
There are not many fresh footprints in the south, but a large number of traces are left in the east, and there are even footprints of livestock carrying grain.
"Chase!"
The barbarians left with rations, but Zhang Tong accelerated his march.
Around midnight, the soldiers in charge of exploring the road came back and reported: "There is a mountain path ahead, and the barbarians are walking very slowly. I climbed the hillside to have a look. The barbarian ranks are very long, no matter how many barbarians there are." Also caring about the head and the tail.”
There is a moon tonight, and although people cannot be seen clearly under the moonlight, they can see the army moving in shadows.
Moreover, many barbarians lit torches.
The farthest flames are separated by two or three miles.
Zhang Tong trotted forward with the soldiers.
The ghost master, Afu, was holding the horse, but he was still hesitating in his heart.He wanted to submit to the Han soldiers a little bit, and maybe he could get some benefits, but the Han officials were very cunning, and he always lied to them before, and Afu was afraid that what the Han officials said would not count.
What if I took refuge in the past and was trapped and killed by Han officials afterwards?
The credibility of Han officials is very low among barbarians.
"kill!"
At night, I heard the sound of shouting and killing.
"Father, there are pursuers!"
"What?" Afu panicked and reacted for more than ten seconds before ordering, "The whole army turns around, the front team becomes the rear team. The rear team climbs up the hillsides on both sides to defend against the enemy!"
It was too late, Afu's order hadn't been spread yet, and the barbarians who walked at the back had already started to flee.
They lost the battle for two consecutive days, their morale was already low, and they were suddenly pursued at night.The first reaction of the barbarians was not to fight, but to run away quickly. Even if someone wanted to fight, they were shaken by the blow of the rout.
On the narrow valley path, the barbarians in a long snake formation are completely in a mess.
Some guys who reacted slowly were even knocked down by friendly troops and then trampled to death.
Within a few minutes of the battle between the two sides, nearly a hundred barbarians were trampled to death.
After Zhang Ting killed the rear team, all the barbarians fled.Those twelve or thirteen-year-old juvenile barbarians were so frightened that they were so frightened that some even ran away and called their mother.
Too many people were trampled to death, and Han soldiers would occasionally trip over corpses.
The ghost lord Afu got on his horse, surrounded by rout soldiers, the horse couldn't speed up at all, so he could only abandon his horse and run away with the rout soldiers.
There were also many barbarians, seeing that the road ahead was impassable, they hurriedly climbed up the hillside, hoping to escape from the battlefield as soon as possible to save their lives.
Zhang Tong led his troops to chase five or six li at a stretch, until the whole army was out of breath, so they stopped to clean the battlefield.
Collect armor, livestock, horses and food dropped by the enemy along the way, and cut off the left ear of the barbarian soldiers to count the number.
After dawn, the calculation was finally clear.
None of the Han soldiers were killed, and even the unlucky ones who were injured were not caused by fighting.
A total of more than 600 ears were cut off, and dozens of them were captured.
Looking at those immature faces, Zhang Tong couldn't bear it. He came to fight, not to exterminate the clan.After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Put all the children back, and just confiscate their weapons. The rest of the captives will be taken back for custody. By the way, let these children go back and send a message, saying that the ghost master here, Afu, if you are willing to take The people surrender, the previous mistakes are forgotten, and there is still a chance to make meritorious deeds."
In the evening of the same day, the ghost master Afu brought some remnant soldiers over. He first asked the soldiers to put down their weapons, and then led several sons to kneel in front of the bunker to confess their sins.
He was completely defeated and suffered heavy losses, and he could no longer resist the officers and soldiers.
"Afu is willing to listen to the Han officials, and is willing to serve the Han emperor!" The ghost master Afu repeatedly kowtowed.
After hearing the words of the interpreter with the army, Zhang Tong stepped forward to support the man alone, and said with a pleasant face, "It is great that the leader knows his mistakes and can correct them. As long as there is no more trouble in the future, the prosperity and wealth will be preserved, and your village will still be under your control." Then bring soldiers to fight with me."
