Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 22: Battle of the Qiang People

The camps of the Qiang people ignited raging fires. Jia Rong led his soldiers to kill the Qiang army that was fighting Dong Zhuo's army.

At the same time, the Qiang soldiers who were fighting with Dong Zhuo's army suddenly saw the tents bursting into flames, and then heard shouts from the camp, and their minds were shaken for a while.

The leader of the Qiang people also heard the voice from the camp. He knew it must be a trick of the Han people, so he ordered every messenger around him to convey the news that the Qiang soldiers were not defeated. .

At this moment, Guo Bang led a thousand Xiliang cavalry to attack the Qiang camp. The sound of horseshoes and drums was amazing; They all believe that their side has been defeated, and no longer fight with their lives like before, but fight and retreat, thinking about how to protect themselves.

Seeing this situation, the leader of the Qiang people tried his best to contain the current situation; seeing that the soldiers no longer worked as hard as before, the leader of the Qiang people understood that today's war is difficult to win.

On the battlefield, the most important thing is momentum. The Qiang soldiers who faced the enemy just now, saw the fire in the camp, and heard the shouts from the camp, they all wanted to retreat to save their lives.

The situation was reversed, and the Qiang soldiers retreated steadily.

Seeing this situation, the leader of the Qiang people knew that there was nothing he could do; just as he was about to order the soldiers to call for gold to withdraw, suddenly there was a cry of killing from the rear of their own camp.

The shouts of killing from the rear completely defeated the psychological defense of the Qiang people, because they found themselves surrounded by the enemy.

Hearing the shouts from the rear of the camp, the Qiang soldiers completely believed that they had been defeated, and the worst thing was that they were surrounded by the enemy.

The leader of the Qiang people yelled loudly at the Han people for being cunning, and at the same time asked the soldiers to call for gold to withdraw and prepare to retreat.

Jia Rong, who was fighting behind the Qiang camp, heard the voice of the Qiang people calling for gold to retreat, and immediately asked the soldiers to shout in the Qiang language, "Put down your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

As Jia Rong's soldiers shouted "Put down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed!" Many Qiang soldiers put down their weapons and stopped resisting. Faced with a glimmer of hope, the Qiang soldiers were unwilling to resist. .

Jia Rong continued to collect the weapons of the surrendering soldiers, and sent some soldiers to guard the surrendering Qiang soldiers, and then led the army to kill in the direction of Dong Zhuo's army.

The Qiang soldiers who were fighting heard the signal to withdraw their troops, and they were even more sure that their side had been defeated. The last hope in their hearts was completely extinguished, and they all scrambled to retreat. The battlefield was very chaotic; many The Qiang soldiers were knocked to the ground by their own soldiers, and then trampled to death by the retreating soldiers.

Jia Rong led the soldiers to fight all the way to the direction of Dong Zhuo's army. At the same time, Guo Bang also led the cavalry to fight there. The soldiers joined together and chased the fleeing Qiang people together.

Jia Rong rushed to the Chinese army where Dong Zhuo was, and was able to meet Dong Zhuo after the soldiers informed him.

Dong Zhuo dismounted immediately when he saw Jia Rong, who was covered in blood, and expressed his condolences to Jia Rong, "Thanks to Zhiyuan's help, the Qiang soldiers were defeated so quickly. Zhiyuan is truly a blessed general."

After finishing speaking, he patted Afraid Jia Rong on the shoulder kindly.

Jia Rong hastily saluted and said, "It's all the general who taught me well. I came here with a humble position. I have something important to report to the general."

Dong Zhuo signaled his soldiers to bring a war horse, and then said while riding on the horse with Jia Rong, Jia Rong saw that Dong Zhuo's body was also covered with blood, obviously he had just experienced a bloody battle.

Dong Zhuo rode on his slow-moving horse, looked at Jia Rong and asked, "I don't know what is the important thing that Zhiyuan said?"

Jia Rong clasped his hands on his horse and said, "I implore the general to forgive me for my humble position, so that my soldiers will not kill the Qiang soldiers who surrendered, and let the soldiers shout the command to surrender and not to kill on the battlefield."

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo frowned. From the bottom of his heart, Dong Zhuo didn't have any good feelings for the Qiang people who invaded. Dong Zhuo himself had a high prestige among the Qiang soldiers, but this group of Qiang soldiers openly challenged them. Dong Zhuo's authority, this is what Dong Zhuo can't bear the most.

Dong Zhuo was about to get angry when a middle-aged scribe came to Dong Zhuo's side and whispered something in Dong Zhuo's ear.

This scribe Jia Rong had an impression. When he went to see Dong Zhuo that day, this scribe stood behind Dong Zhuo. Because of what the scribe said that day, Jia Rong had a deep impression of this scribe.

After listening to the scribe's words, Dong Zhuo immediately smiled and said to Jia Rong: "Zhiyuan is a man of merit, how could he be guilty?"

Dong Zhuo's series of changes naturally did not escape Jia Rong's eyes. The scribe's words made Dong Zhuo's attitude turn 180 degrees, which shows that the scribe's status in Dong Zhuo's heart is definitely not low.

Although he had witnessed all this, Jia Rong still acted as if he didn't know anything, and said gratefully to Dong Zhuo: "Thank you General for your tolerance, there is one more thing about humble positions, I beg the General to agree."

Seeing Dong Zhuo nodding his head to indicate to himself, Jia Rong then said: "General, please order that the soldiers not kill the Qiang soldiers who surrendered."

Under repeated hints from the scribe next to him, Dong Zhuo said, "Don't worry, Zhiyuan, this matter should be done."

After finishing speaking, let the messengers around you pass an order: "No harm is allowed to the Qiang soldiers who surrendered, and those who violate it will be beheaded!"

Jia Rong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Dong Zhuo pass on the military order.

The reason why Jia Rong came to see Dong Zhuo in such a hurry was because Jia Rong saw that on the battlefield, Qiang soldiers who surrendered were constantly killed by Xiliang soldiers who were red-eyed. The resistance of many Qiang soldiers who surrendered.

After Jia Rong bid farewell to Dong Zhuo, he rode his horse all the way to the battlefield where the soldiers of Hechi County and Gudao County were, chasing and killing the fleeing Qiang soldiers.

After Jia Rong rode his horse and left Dong Zhuo's central army, Dong Zhuoyin looked at the scribes behind him with a sullen face and said, "Li Ru, what do you mean?"

The scribe said unhurriedly: "General calm down, I wonder if the general wants to win the war with the least cost, or is he going to fight the Qiang people to the death?"

Dong Zhuo looked puzzled after hearing what the scribe said.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's confusion, the scribe continued: "I think Jia Rong's strategy is very good. Just imagine, general, if you give the fleeing Qiang soldiers a glimmer of hope of survival on the battlefield, would the Qiang people still resist desperately?" ;When we have completely won the victory, those Qiang people who surrendered will not be at the disposal of the general, and we will also win the greatest victory with the smallest loss, so why not do it!"

Dong Zhuo clapped his hands and laughed loudly after hearing the scribe's explanation: "The words of the virtuous son-in-law are very reasonable, I blamed you by mistake."

Li Ru smiled and didn't take it to heart, he still knows Dong Zhuo very well, as long as what you say is reasonable, he will listen; after pondering for a while, Li Ru continued: "I think Jia Rong is very human, he thought of it A trick can instantly disintegrate the determination of the Qiang people to resist desperately, this person is not simple."

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "We Xiliang men are all brave and good at fighting. It is the blessing of our Xiliang army to be able to produce such a wise and brave man as Jia Rong."

Li Ru smiled and said nothing, but Jia Rong's name was remembered in his heart. Such a person will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future.

The Xiliang army chased and killed the fleeing Qiang soldiers for more than ten miles, and the hunt came to an end.

In this battle, countless Qiang people were killed and injured, and only about a thousand soldiers escaped. It is impossible to cause any major disasters.

According to Jia Rongrang's statistics, there were more than [-] Qiang soldiers who surrendered as captives, which was half of all the Qiang soldiers who surrendered; Yu people.

The news of the victory came from the battlefield, and the soldiers cheered heartily on the battlefield, happy for the victory, but also excited that they survived the war; Companion, grieves for the deceased companion.

Looking at the battlefield where cries and cheers of victory intertwined, Jia Rong couldn't help mourning for Pao Ze who died on the battlefield. Although Jia Rong has become numb to the battlefield after two battles, he still thinks of the smiling faces of the past. Going away by myself felt very uncomfortable.

After cleaning the battlefield, all Xiliang soldiers returned to Gaoping City the same way.

Seeing the city of Gaoping again and looking at the soldiers behind him, Jia Rong sighed. When he went there, he led more than 3000 soldiers, but when he came back, there were only more than [-] soldiers, including those who were seriously injured.

Once the generals are successful, the famous generals in history are not piled up with the bones of soldiers.

Thinking of when he was in Lijiacun, he was ambitious and wanted to lead this group of young soldiers to gain fame on the battlefield. Now that Lijiacun followed his young soldiers after two battles, [-]% of them were killed or injured. Jia Rong felt ashamed and added blame yourself.

Looking back at Li Li, Li Hu, and Li Shun, the teenagers from Li Family Village who were following behind him, Jia Rong told himself secretly in his heart that he must bring them back to Li Family Village safely.

After the army had just returned to Gaoping City and settled down, some soldiers came to inform all the leaders to gather at Dong Zhuo's Chinese camp.

When he came to Dong Zhuo's camp, Jia Rong found that many leading soldiers from various counties had arrived. Unlike before, there were still many new faces this time.

After everyone arrived, Dong Zhuo stood up from the commander's seat and said with a big smile: "In this battle, the Qiang people suffered heavy losses, and the Qiang people also returned to their hometowns. Everyone has worked hard. I have ordered The kitchen prepares first-class meals, and the three armies congratulate, and everyone will not return home until the time comes."

All the generals claimed to be.

"The general's principle of conduct has always been to reward those who have made meritorious deeds, and punish those who have done wrong. I believe everyone here is very clear about this." Dong Zhuo changed his tone and continued.
