Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 29 Surrender without Killing
Chapter 029 Surrender without killing
Suddenly Ran Ming saw that there were quite a few Yan Army cavalry on the battlefield. The horses were short, with thick bodies, strong limbs, rough and strong physique, big heads, wide foreheads, deep and long chests, short legs, strong joints, and well-developed tendons. This is obviously Mongolian horses. horse characteristics.Ran Ming actually didn’t know that the Mongolian war horse was an ancient breed of horse, which came from the same source as the Xiongnu horse. In the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing’s expedition to the Xiongnu and raids of thousands of miles relied on this kind of Hunnu horse!
In the later generations, Ran Ming was very interested in the mangu evil tactics invented by Genghis Khan. In history, [-] Mongolian cavalry conquered more than half of Europe, killing European heavy cavalry in a state of embarrassment and destroying countless countries!So in this time and space, Ran Ming really wanted to form a light cavalry of the Wei state. With the high bridge saddle and equipped with double stirrups, the problem of poor riding skills of the Han people could be easily solved!
However, in order to play and use the Mangudao tactics, a cavalryman needs three war horses, one to carry weapons and supplies, the other to ride, and the other to accumulate horsepower for charging!Of course, this kind of light cavalry, which is specially used for long-distance galloping, also has strict requirements on war horses, and war horses need good endurance.In fact, the tall Xianbei horses, even the Dawan horses among the famous horses, and the Arabian horses with strong load-bearing capacity and fast charge speed all have a fatal flaw, that is, the horses do not have enough endurance.

Mongolian horses are small in size, with an average body height of 120-135 cm and a weight of 267-370 kg.The body is thick and strong, the limbs are solid and powerful, the constitution is rough and strong, the head is large and the forehead is wide, the chest is deep and long, the legs are short, the joints are firm, and the tendons are developed.The back coat is dense and complex in color.It is hardworking, not afraid of cold, can adapt to extremely extensive feeding and management, has strong vitality, and can survive in harsh and harsh conditions.Moreover, the physical strength of Mongolian horses recovers extremely quickly. After completing a 10-kilometer rapid gallop, Mongolian horses can recover their physical strength within [-] minutes, while Dawan horses need an hour and a half, and Xianbei horses need more than an hour, far exceeding Mongolian horses. !
Mongolian horses are also fast for long-distance galloping. It only takes one and a half hours for a long-distance gallop of two hundred miles. This is why Mongolian cavalry can advance two hundred miles a day on average on the European battlefield. The time is running out, and the remaining time is enough for them to rest and fight!
Ran Ming couldn't stand it anymore. These horses were too precious, but no one in this era realized the utility of the Huns' horses. Otherwise, relying on the fighting power of the Xianbei cavalry, they might have completed the expansion of Mongolia.Why did he accept the surrender? In fact, Ran Ming had other considerations. He fought several times. Although the Wei army defeated the Yan army, they captured very few horses. There were not enough horses, so Ran Ming could not form a cavalry, especially in the trap. Under the action of horse pits and horse refusal guns, the captured war horses are all wounded horses, so naturally cavalry cannot be formed!
Ran Ming suddenly said: "If you don't kill those who surrender, if you continue to resist, everyone will die!"

Although the other soldiers of the Wei army did not understand why Ran Ming persuaded the Yan army to surrender, they also knew that the order must be obeyed.So other Wei soldiers also shouted along with Ran Ming.

Not all of the [-] soldiers under Murong De's command are direct descendants of Murong's tribe. There are also [-] Marudu bow cavalry and more than [-] Hun cavalry. Ran Min has a history of being surrendered by the Huns, especially Wei Junsheng. A part of the Czech army, Tuen cavalry.Most of them were Huns, so when they got into trouble, the Huns who were killed by Zhang Ping, Hewandu bow cavalry, and other nomadic cavalry who surrendered to the Xianbei's despotic power began to waver!

Although the nomads are cruel and bloodthirsty, they have one thing in common, that is, they submit to the strong. As long as your fist is big and you subdue him, they will be like the third grandson, begging for mercy in front of you.In fact, we can see this kind of national characteristics vividly in Japan!

"Clang!" A Hun cavalry threw away the lance in his hand, and then quickly dropped the bow on his back and the arrows in the quiver!He raised his hands high and said in half-baked Chinese: "I surrender, don't kill me!"

A Xianbei cavalry next to this Xiongnu Yan soldier saw someone surrendering and shouted in Xianbei: "Shameless coward, Xianbei doesn't have a coward like you!"

As he spoke, he swung his spear and stabbed the Hun soldier!However, at the same time that Yan Jun swung his gun, Yang Le, the sharpshooter of the Wei Army, shot towards him like lightning, and the soldiers of the Yan Army fell to their hearts unwillingly. Rolling under the horse, shouting loudly, "I am willing to surrender! Don't kill me!"

The wars of the grassland nomads are not as particular about formations as the Central Plains army. They use flags, drums, and gold to command wars. They rely on bravery to win, and follow the leader to charge into the battle. will crash.Now the Yan army's front army is a strong enemy, but they want to fight but can't win. They retreat but have a wall of fire, and there is no way to advance or retreat. They have long since lost their attention.It so happened that the Huns surrendered!

Ran Ming said: "Climb over here, no one can kill you here~"

The Xiongnu came to Ran Ming in the name of rolling and crawling. The surrounding Wei soldiers wanted to tie him up with ropes, but Ran Ming waved his hand to stop him!The Hun knocked his head lightly on Ran Ming's toes and said, "Respected master, Hulugu (brave and free as a wild horse) swears to Kunlun God that he will never betray his master again in this life!"

Of course Ran Ming would not believe in Hulugu's loyalty, but in order to set an example of him buying horse bones with thousands of dollars, Ran Ming said: "Get up, Hulugu, my Great Wei is proud of military achievements, I will not reward you with anything, I want money If you want slaves, you still want cattle and sheep, show your skills, as long as you cut off the head of a Xianbei in the future, you can make a military exploit, win property, and you can keep [-]% for yourself, and turn over the rest!"

In fact, everyone is not stupid. If Ran Mingkong made a lot of promises, these Huns would not believe them. They are just pawns and have no merit. As a surrendered soldier, what reward can they get? If there is, it is a lie to them!
In the battle of the army, courage can be contagious. A brave warrior can inspire people around him to die and dare to fight. Similarly, the emotion of fear of fighting and fearing the enemy can also be contagious. When Murong De fears Ran Min's will, he will It is doomed to tragedy!
Seeing that after Hulugu surrendered, he became the personal guard of Prince Wei, and prosperity and wealth are just around the corner. These Huns who were not very loyal to the Xianbei were originally.Maruto.Wuheng, and the cavalry from other tribes began to be tempted!More than a thousand Huns cavalry decisively put down their weapons and surrendered before the formation.Many Huns took advantage of this opportunity to secretly hand their swords and guns to the unsuspecting Xianbei people around them, and surrendered with their heads!

Ran Ming's plan to divide the Yan army succeeded, and he shouted to the others: "Anyone can surrender, as long as the leader of the bandit, Murong De, is captured alive, he will be promoted to the third rank, and the soldiers will directly worship the gatekeeper!" Daughter!"

In fact, this is Ran Ming's absolutely empty check. He doesn't even have a tael of gold in his hand, but the empty check he promised is slowly becoming effective!
On the weird battlefield, the Yan army started to kill each other. The Xianbei people killed the Han people ruthlessly, and they were ruthless enough to kill their own people. Seeing the ghosts of the soldiers of the Wei army on the opposite side, they saw blood and recruited flesh. Soon, loyal Murongde's personal guards couldn't stand up to the many Yan army rebels on the battlefield!

Murongde and his personal guards repeatedly broke through the siege. However, when most of the Yan army soldiers rebelled, their breakouts were in vain!

At this moment, the two horse slaves beside Murong De whispered softly behind Murong De: "Prince Wei said that if you capture Murong De alive, you can be promoted to three ranks, and the soldiers will directly pay homage to the Yamen!"

"If we capture this Murong De, can we also become generals?"

"It should be possible! Anyway, if things go on like this, we will either be killed indiscriminately or by the Wei army. Either way, we will die. Why don't we capture Murong De and surrender to the Wei army!"

"I think it's okay. Although the Yan army is powerful, they can't beat a few thousand Han people with so many people. I heard that the emperor of Wei State on the opposite side killed thousands of Yan people and dozens of generals!"

"That's right, I'm a slave anyway, so I can be a master in no time! With money, find more slaves and raise horses for us. We drink mare's milk and eat mutton every day, and we don't have to do anything!"

"Not bad!"

Murong De didn't know, at this moment, two little horse slaves began to miss him. At this moment, the two mobilized together, hugged Murong De's thigh from behind, lifted his leg and pulled his belt to overturn Murong De and fell off the horse .Murong De fell headfirst to the ground heavily, Murong De was dizzy from the fall, and before he could react, a bull's ear knife was pressed against his neck, Murong De gave up struggling.

"I've captured Murongde, and they all surrendered. Otherwise, I'll kill Murongde!" This sudden change made the Xianbei rebels in the field extremely depressed. They tried their best, but they didn't kill Murongde. Two lowly man slaves took the lead!

The main general was captured, and the other guards of Murong De also gave up their resistance!
Ran Ming ordered Wei Jun to confiscate all the weapons of the Yan army's surrendered army, put them in custody, and screen them slowly!As for Murong De, he became the second general of the Yan Army captured by Ran Ming. Ran Ming secretly rejoiced, Murong De is good, kill Murong De, how will your Yan Kingdom build Hou Yan?
When Ran Ming hadn't finished the work of accepting the surrender, suddenly there was a fierce sound of horseshoes behind the fire wall,
The Yan army finally charged into the sea of ​​flames without fear of casualties. These walls of fire relied on corpse oil and dry firewood to burn. The burning ability of corpse oil was far inferior to that of fierce fire oil.But it is useless to break through, the overall situation has been decided.Especially those surrendered soldiers whose hands were stained with the blood of the Xianbei people, they were determined to die. If they knew this, they would never surrender! They boarded the thief boat and wanted to get off, but it was not that easy!Ran Ming smiled like a wolf grandmother looking at the little white rabbit: "Soldiers, I don't need to say whether you are right or wrong, even if you want to turn around now, will the Xianbei people let you go? Absolutely not, the Xianbei people will You tortured to death, you want to live well. You deserve to be with us Wei, defeat Xianbei. Defeat Yan. We Han people don’t know how to herd, as long as we defeat Yan, Xianbei’s fertile pastures and their women’s wealth, It will all be yours!"
