The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 133 Capturing Duan Xianbei
As Qi Hong entered and exited, causing gaps in his army, although Liu Tai had a headache, he was not frustrated.

Liu Xia also came back soon. Although he was pierced by Qi Hong's Red Blood Cavalry and was stabbed himself, Liu Xia immediately gathered his soldiers after being defeated and immediately rushed back with the cavalry, almost fighting Qi Hong. Hong staggered.

Liu Xia did not collide with Qi Hong again this time, but chose to carefully bypass Qi Hong.

When Qi Hong saw this scene, he didn't say much. He just stretched out his thumb and slashed his throat, clearly showing his provocation to Liu Xia. Liu Xia gritted his teeth and endured it.

At this time, he led the cavalry and ran back to Liu Tai. When he saw Liu Tai, he dismounted and knelt down and said, "The guilty minister Xia came here to apologize!"

"Work first! You take charge of Wang Jun's soldiers who escaped during the stage. We will discuss the punishment after this war is over." Liu Tai said.

"I have the order!" Liu Xia couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard Liu Tai's words, and decisively led the remaining cavalry over!

Liu Tai watched Liu Xia leave, but he didn't feel that Liu Xia had done anything wrong.

After all, defeating a battle is very normal for a general. We can't let everyone be a perfect person who can win every battle.

After all, the person who really supports the army is not Liu Xia, but himself!
At this moment, Liu Xia waved the long spear in his hand with the intention of substituting his merits for his crime. Wherever he passed, he saw the deserters flying with flesh and blood. It was not until the deserters knelt on the ground out of fear and begged for mercy that Liu Xia let them go. .

Of course, even if Liu Xia worked hard to make up for it, a large part of Wang Jun's soldiers followed Qi Hong and escaped from the encirclement.

But Liu Tai didn't get too entangled, as long as the remaining people could settle down.

At this moment, Liu Tai's car formation re-opened and continued to encircle Wang Jun's soldiers who had not escaped, forcing them to surrender.

At this time, Liu Xia was driving away these deserters and looking forward to Qi Hong's return.

If Qi Hong dared to come again, he would cling to Qi Hong's Red Blood Cavalry even if he died. At such a close range, Liu Tai would definitely command the army to encircle it!
By then, it would not be a pity even if all the other Wang Jun's soldiers escaped.

Without Qi Hong's red-blooded cavalry and without the Xianbei cavalry, Wang Jun would be like Gongsun Zan without his white-horse Yi Cong. His energy and spirit would probably be lost.

At this moment, the Xianbei cavalry were still struggling hard. Qi Hong's return gave them the possibility of survival, especially the crowded Wang Jun soldiers behind them actually escaped, thus freeing up some space. This made the Xianbei cavalry even more frustrated. happy!
There was no way, Liu Ming would not retreat until he died, and even a fierce general like Duan Wenyuan could not break through the rock-solid military formation.

Liu Ming, on the other hand, stood on the high platform and didn't even give any other orders. All he had to do was "shoot the arrow", "shoot the arrow", "shoot the arrow"...

Hearing such cold orders, the morale of the Xianbei cavalry was completely frozen.

To be honest, Qi Hong's attack caused Wang Jun's soldiers behind him to escape, which gave the Xianbei cavalry some hope of a comeback. However, after Qi Hong escaped, the Xianbei cavalry was left in despair.

It's not that the Xianbei cavalry didn't want to run in both directions, but rows of resisting horses were already prepared on both sides of the military camp.

There are iron hooks attached to the bottom of the horse. The military camp itself is a Jedi created by Liu Ming.

If they want to get out, the only way is to defeat Liu Ming, otherwise they will have to die here.

But the problem is that the Xianbei cavalry are powerful, and the Tiger and Guard troops in front of them are even more powerful and fearless of death. As long as Liu Ming's Tiger and Guard troops do not retreat, what fighting capacity will the Xianbei cavalry have, who have already been huddled in a pile? They are just waiting. Just a slaughtered lamb.

Originally, they were able to escape, but as Liu Xia intercepted the escaping soldiers, the giant crossbows fired their crossbows again, forcing Wang Jun's soldiers back again, blocking their escape path.

In the front camp, the Xianbei cavalry can still maintain its strength at this moment. It is really just a fight between trapped animals.

"You have thirty breaths to put down your weapon and squat on the ground with your head in your hands, otherwise you will be shot directly!" Liu Tai said.

Liu Tai's order was quickly conveyed at this time, but these Wang Jun's soldiers were still somewhat hesitant.

They expected Qi Hong to come back and save them again, but now Liu Tai would not make the same mistake again.

Thirty breaths passed, and Liu Tai looked at most of them, still holding weapons at this moment, especially those Xianbei people, who thought that relying on their military camp could withstand his giant crossbow, but Liu Tai Without any hesitation, he simply let the crossbowman shoot a wave of arrows.

Some of the arrows did hit the wood and were blocked, but these soldiers also shot their own campsite, and many people were injured in that moment.

After firing this wave, the soldiers continued to push the Wugang chariots closer and closer, continuing to compress their battlefield space.

Liu Taize continued, "Drop your weapons within twenty breaths, otherwise I will continue to kill!"

At this moment, these Wang Jun's soldiers no longer had any luck, and they dropped their weapons one after another.

Also left behind were the Xianbei soldiers. As the military formation compressed, they no longer even had the range for their horses to move.

They were in complete despair, and they could only surrender.

Liu Tai looked calm and said, "If anyone dares to resist the captured soldiers of Wang Jun, all the soldiers within five meters of the rebels who do not help to suppress the rebellion will be regarded as accomplices and will be killed!"

Following Liu Tai's order, Liu Tai quickly successfully forced Wang Jun's soldiers and Xianbei cavalry to completely defeat.

As of now, they have nothing left to decide other than surrender.

The first step in the prisoner work is to let the prisoners distinguish between soldiers and generals. Generals start from the level of captain or centurion, and everything below is regarded as ordinary soldiers by default.

Generally speaking, those who reach the level of centurion must either have organizational skills, command skills, personal bravery, or strong connections behind them...

All in all, no matter how you say it, he is one of the best talents, and no force would dislike having too many of them.

"I am the general of the Hussars of the Jin Dynasty, the Duke of Liaoxi, and the leader of the Xianbei Duan tribe. I am willing to surrender to the Han!"

At this time, Duan Ji Liujuan roared loudly and decisively to show his value.

Duan Ji's six family members still understand the rules of war to some extent. If you die as a nobody, you will die.

But if you are a person with status and status, it is best to report your identity as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary suffering.

"Take him prisoner and treat him well. He will be sent to Luoyang soon and handed over to His Majesty!"

Liu Tai said to his subordinates, "As for the others, we will still deal with them according to the past practice, capture them first and then work them. There are no exceptions!"

When the six members of Duan Ji heard Liu Tai's words, they couldn't help but say, "Can my blood relatives be pardoned together?!"

"Now that you are still a prisoner, I think of your blood relatives.

You have to think clearly, if you call out your relatives at this time, it will be the same as you, waiting for His Majesty to judge your guilt.

Now under my hands, although it may not be very comfortable, at least death is impossible! "Liu Tai said calmly as he looked at Duan Ji's six family members.

When Duan Ji's six family members heard Liu Tai's words, their expressions were uncertain, but they saluted Liu Tai and said, "Thank you Liu Qingzhou for the reminder."

After saying this, Duan Ji's six relatives didn't say anything more, as if they had accepted their fate.

Liu Tai did not come forward to recruit Duan Ji's six family members, because his status was not enough.

Of course, I handled it casually and no one said anything, but the problem is that you have to follow the principles in your behavior. If you can do whatever you want now, then it is very likely that others will follow suit in the future.

For things like laws and regulations, the higher you are, the more you have to revere them, because if you don’t revere the laws and regulations today, then tomorrow, no one in the world will revere the laws and regulations, and this will shake the foundation of your rule.

The same is true for the six members of Duan Ji in front of him. Don't think that he needs to obey Qi Hong's command on the battlefield, but in fact, his political status is actually half higher than Qi Hong. He captured Qi Hong and said he would kill him. Just kill him and no one will care.

But Duan Ji Liujuan, who was granted the title of General of the Hussars by the Jin court, could only leave it to the court to deal with it.

Of course, if you are also a hussar general and have the power to open a government and manage affairs, then you will kill him if you kill him.

But the problem is, isn’t it true? My wings are not strong enough. I just have to act honestly and follow the rules.

Even Liu Cong knew that since Wang Mi's death, he and his side were more or less at odds with each other.

If he sent someone to come to Qingzhou to serve as an official, without his consent, they might be gone halfway.

But after all, he is still Liu Cong's minister, and he has no intention of raising the flag of rebellion yet.

After all, the conflict between the Huns and the Han people has not yet exploded, so naturally I have to follow the formalities.

Not to mention Duan Ji's Liujuan, even if Wang Jun was defeated by him, he would have to send him to Luoyang for processing instead of killing him on his own initiative.

Of course, Duan Ji's six dependents are a special case, and other people do not receive such treatment as Duan Ji's six dependents.

Ordinary soldiers, no matter whether you are a Xianbei or a Han, undergo labor reform, listen to military history and explain the "Book of Han" to yourself, and learn from them thoroughly, and understand the greatness of being a Han Chinese, and the greatness of being a foreigner. shame.

As for these Xianbei soldiers, it is the same difficulty for them to get out anyway, and Liu Tai treats them equally.

Even if they massacre cities and destroy villages and eat human breasts, Liu Tai doesn't care. Who among the soldiers in this world can be more innocent than the other.

The fault must be Sima's fault. If it weren't for Sima, how could the world be so miserable for the people.

Of course, if Xianbei soldiers want to complete their transformation, they must have two more layers of shackles than Han soldiers.

One is to learn the language of Han people, and the other is to understand the meaning of "Han Shu".

If you cannot do these two things and cannot transform yourself into a Han Chinese culturally, then you can just work in the collective farm for the rest of your life as an apology for the Han family.

As the affairs of these prisoners were being dealt with, Liu Xia came to Liu Tai's military camp.

Liu Xia didn't talk much. He just knelt outside and apologized to Liu Tai.

In Liu Xia's view, he was defeated by Qi Hong's Red Blood Cavalry, which in itself was a sign of his own incompetence.

What's more important is that after Qi Hong defeated his own cavalry, he took advantage of the situation and attacked Liu Tai.

If Liu Tai himself were not one of the top generals in the world, if Liu Tai was injured due to his own mistakes, that would be the most fatal thing for him.

Liu Tai let Liu Xia enter the camp, and Liu Xia looked at everyone in the camp looking at him as if their eyes were full of ridicule.

Liu Tai looked at Liu Xia's appearance and said, "What do you think of Qi Hong?"

Liu Xia didn't expect that Liu Tai would suddenly ask such a question and couldn't help but was stunned, but said honestly:
"The elite of the Red Blood Cavalry, Qi Hong's sharpness, should be the best cavalry in the world!"

"Can you have the will to destroy this heroic knight in the future and surpass Qi Hong's ability?" Liu Tai asked Liu Xia at this moment.

"Subordinate... Next time I fight Qi Hong, I will never lose again!" Liu Xia said through gritted teeth.

"Yes!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "I underestimated Qi Hong this time. If there is anything wrong, it is me!"

"This is the fault of my subordinates, please give me punishment, my lord!" After hearing Liu Tai's words, Liu Xia immediately knelt down and said, after all, how could a monarch be wrong? When Liu Xia heard Liu Tai's words, he was frightened and confused. move.

"There is no need to do this. If you can't beat him, you can't beat him. Just try to beat him in the future. I believe you will be able to defeat Qi Hong Mie Chixue one day.

If you feel uneasy, then go and write down the names of the cavalry soldiers who died this time with your own hands! Liu Tai looked at Liu Xia and said.

"Follow the order!" Liu Xia bowed his head in response after hearing Liu Tai's words, then said goodbye to Liu Taitao and left.

Liu Tai watched Liu Xia leave without saying anything else. Liu Xia needed to take this step himself.

As for whether Liu Xia can defeat Qi Hong and how to defeat Qi Hong, it depends on Liu Xia's ability.

It was just a losing battle, which was very normal for Liu Tai.

After all, the opponent was a commander of the Red Blood Cavalry who had a record of success, and Liu Xia was just an ordinary general whom Liu Tai liked.

If you are defeated by a famous commander from the front, it will be great if you can survive. It will be good to gain experience and come back next time if you are not dead.

However, no matter how good Qi Hong performed, he was only trying to save the situation as much as possible in the defeat, and it was himself who ultimately won.

Qi Hong's tactical talent and use of cavalry were indeed beyond his expectations, but with his ambush, he was the one who completely established the victory.

At the same time, the success of this ambush was the end but also the beginning. After all, such a large number of soldiers were lost. Even though Qi Hong was able to escape with a group of defeated soldiers, he really didn't believe that the other party had not exposed any flaws.

So after Liu Tai's army arrived at Nanpi City, Liu Tai immediately praised Wang Sang, and then called Zhao An over to start a meeting.

After all, this is a good opportunity for Liu Tai. He may not even need to study warships, but he can directly fight to Youzhou City!

　I have something to update today, so don’t wait any longer.
