Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 153 152. After the War
There are more and more prairie people kneeling on the battlefield.

And more and more Han troops came down the slope from the city wall.

[-] of the [-] elite escaped, and most of those left were wanderers on the grasslands. They were tribal people. When there was no war, they were diligent herdsmen, and when there was war or group activities such as bandits, they were soldiers. .

The [-] Han troops brought by Zhang Qi suffered [-] or [-] casualties, but fortunately, most of them were slightly or seriously injured, and the number of dead was only a few hundred. The biggest loss was the Wangping defenders.

Before Zhang Qi came to the future, they had fought fiercely with the Huns for more than ten days, and each had casualties during the period.

Although the boost in morale after Zhang Qi's arrival greatly increased their combat effectiveness, the result of the increase in combat effectiveness was greater casualties.

However, the casualties have not been counted at this moment, and the prisoners and soldiers on the battlefield are being cleared.

From three or four o'clock in the afternoon to seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Qi and the others completely controlled tens of thousands of prisoners.

At this moment, the gate of Wangping city is wide open, and the county magistrate has been waiting there.

So even though Zhang Qi was tired, he still rode over.

"I met General Zhang! General Zhang is brave!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The county magistrate and county lieutenant complimented him by the city gate, and Zhang Qi got off his horse with a smile.

"County Cheng County Wei has been waiting for a long time, I am a martial artist, and I forgot to come here for a while."

"General Zhang is serious. This is a matter of the survival of a city. How can you blame General Zhang? If you want to blame, you can only blame us for being too cautious. For a while, I forgot to go forward to help General Zhang capture the prisoners."

The county magistrate is in his forties and fifties, and he is still a county magistrate at this age, which shows that his official career has come to an end.

The young county lieutenant nodded aside: "Yes, yes."

Zhang Qi said a few polite words, the magistrate of Wangping County and the county lieutenant are all mediocre people, so he also relaxed his intention of making friends, and after a few pleasantries to deal with the situation, he got on his horse and left.

It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and most of the Han army was night-blind, so Zhang Qi did not rush to escort the prisoners at night, but stationed nearby.

Wangping County is naturally happy about this, who knows if the Xiongnu will make a comeback after Zhang Qi leaves, so all the rich and famous families in the city generously sent wine, water and meat.

Zhang Qi did not refuse anyone who came, and borrowed one after another. With more than [-] troops and [-] to [-] captives, the consumption of food and grass was already high. Now that someone is helping to pay for it, he is naturally happy.

In addition to drinks, food, and grass, many wealthy households in the city also quietly asked Zhang Qi to send messages to Zhang Qi, asking if there was any shortage of people in Zhang Qi's army, and that they had soldiers in their families that could be borrowed from him temporarily. (p1)

Zhang Qiming understands what these wealthy households are thinking, but they still don’t refuse anyone who comes. It’s okay to lend him soldiers. It’s a loan now, but after a while, it depends on Zhang Qi whether the borrowed soldiers recognize them or not. thought about it.

Everyone knows how powerful faith and carrots and sticks are.

the first time.

It was the first time that Zhang Qi had achieved great results while actually increasing his number of soldiers instead of decreasing. This made him look forward to Han even more.

This land is so rich.

The next day.

Zhang Qi gathered more than [-] soldiers in his account and escorted the prisoners to the north.

Although the Han army hesitated, their admiration for Zhang Qi during the war made them follow Zhang Qi's orders after the war.

But this is also for the sake of escorting the prisoners.

The captain of the Han Army said to Zhang Qi that he would return to Liaodong without stopping after helping him escort the prisoners.

Zhang Qi also laughed at this, and explained aloud that Zhang Taishou's family members are in his tribe at the moment, so this time, besides asking the Han army to help escort the prisoners, he also wanted them to bring Zhang Taishou's family members with him. Back to Liaodong.

Hearing this, the Colonel of the Han Army breathed a sigh of relief. After he stepped out of the Great Wall, two voices kept ringing in his head: "Go back quickly, don't cooperate with the enemy." Not happy!"

The two voices almost drove him crazy. Fortunately, Zhang Qi explained it, which made him feel a lot easier, but he felt a little lost in his heart.

It is undeniable that on the battlefield yesterday, Zhang Qi's personal charm was unleashed to the fullest, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him with the phrase "bravely crowning the three armies".

Swordsmanship, archery, and riding are all top-notch, and Zhang Qi's attitude towards wounded soldiers after the war can also show that Zhang Qi will not give up anyone who stands shoulder to shoulder with him.

The lieutenant of the Han Army could see clearly that the four or five hundred wounded under his command had all saved their lives. Except for a few dozen particularly unlucky ones who might become disabled from now on, the others would all recover one day.

And even those who were disabled, Zhang Qi also gave generous rewards. This was the first time that they, the Han army, had seen generals treat them like this since they had been in the army for so long.

It's a little too much to say that everyone is attracted to each other, but Zhang Qi's figure has become an indelible brilliance in the military career of these Han troops.

The road back to Wuhuan was very peaceful, and when Yi Zhixie and Yu Dan returned to their respective tribes, the messy things in the tribe would be enough for them to have a headache, so they couldn't separate their hands to do other things at all.

In this battle, apart from the Youyi Army who communicated at the beginning, there was not a single soldier of the Youyi Army on the battlefield. Zhang Qi asked, and the answer he got was because of their horses, so Hu Shui did not bring the whole army to join, but separated out a few troops The soldiers changed into grassland horses and joined Yi Zhixie's call to find out information.

During the period, the soldiers of the Youyi Army also asked if they should be summoned to join the battle, but after Zhang Qi thought about it, he simply asked them to wait until Yi Zhixie and the others had completely sent troops to Han, and then made a big fuss in Hulunbuir.

So during this battle, the Youyi army must have had a good time in Hulunbuir when Yi Zhixie and the two of them led the army out.

Zhang Qi laughed a little unkindly, since the day he got up, it seemed that Yu Dan's wool had been the one he had been picking up all the time, thinking about it now, Zhang Qi felt a little embarrassed.

After more than ten days, the captives were safely sent to Wuhuan. At this moment, Wuhuan is not the same as in the past, and there are construction workers walking and sweating everywhere.

After the brick kiln started production and had output, Wuhuan began to build the city. Cement, bricks and stones brought countless jobs. At this moment, Wuhuan is like a giant beast that swallows up the labor force. For the tens of thousands of captives, Hu Ling and others not only did not feel embarrassed, but all of them showed expressions of excitement.

The more people there are, the better. Ever since Wuhuan started building the city, Hu Ling and others discovered that Wuhuan could not be filled by tens of thousands of people. There are countless people needed just to dig the foundations, not to mention the need to build the city wall later.

In the blueprint that Hu Ling and others discussed with Zhang Qi, the wall of Wuhuan City was at least ten kilometers long. As Zhang Qi's rear area, the city must have enough internal space.

　The Western Han Dynasty was not allowed to raise family soldiers, and was not allowed to annex land, but slaves were not allowed, so they understand everything.
