Chapter 19: The Great Destruction of Donghu
In the land of Liaodong, a big battle is about to begin.!
In the empty field, the Qin army was confronting the Donghu army. The Qin army concentrated 150,000 troops entering Liaodong, and the Donghu gathered 300,000 people, and the two sides were about to start a war here.
Like the Huns, the Donghu was a nomadic people, and its political system was far inferior to the Huns. Although the Huns were loose in their political system, at least there was a Shanyu who issued orders, which was still unified in name.
However, Donghu is composed of many tribes, and there are many conflicts between large and small tribes, and it is difficult to call orders. In fact, Donghu does not have a powerful political system, does not have a unified order, and each fights on its own, and is a mess.
Due to the backwardness of technology, whether the Donghu army had good food or not, in addition to the essential bows and arrows, they also had scimitars. Their scimitars were made of bronze, but their level of sophistication was far from that of the Qin army, which also used bronze weapons to conquer the world.
The Qin State could make bronze weapons no less than iron soldiers, but the bronze scimitar of the Donghu army was very soft.
The 300,000 people who came were not all army, but also many herdsmen. Like the Huns, the Donghu was the whole nation, and once a war broke out, men, women, young and old could go to the battlefield. Of course, the real main force was still young and strong warriors.
What's even more surprising is that these Donghu people would drive cattle and sheep to join the war, which is extremely unfavorable to Donghu's combat power.
What's even more serious is that without unified orders and constraints, tribes cannot coordinate and act in concert. Even if this war is about to break out, these tribes are all in the east and west, like a pile of sand.
"This is the Qin army that you brag about like the flowers on the grassland? I don't think it's like. They are all black, just a color that the hunting dog pulls out."
"I don't believe you said how they can fight. No matter how I look at it, I can't tell where they can fight?"
After the Qin army eliminated the remnants of Yan State, they began to attack the Donghu tribe under the command of Li Mu. These tribes were no match for the Qin army at all and were killed by the Qin army.
Of course, this is just Li Mu's method. Li Mu's real intention is to irritate the Donghu through killing, let them gather together, and fight and annihilate them.
The various parts of the Donghu were scattered in the vast Liaodong area. It took a long time to annihilate the Qin army, so it would be better to anger them and let them concentrate on themselves.
The Qin army killed the Donghu tribe, killing Yingye, and even made harsh words, saying that Donghu was bullshit and was not worthy of owning the land of Liaodong. If they dared to come, the Donghu would never return.
As soon as this was heard by the Donghu tribes, it made the Donghu tribes angry. Because they were used to becoming kings and dominating in Liaodong, they had been suppressing Yan State for hundreds of years, so they would not take the people of the Central Plains seriously. In their minds, the people of the Central Plains were insects and allowed to ravage them.
So, the angry Donghu troops ordered all the troops to come, clamoring to kill all the Qin army.
Li Mu, the Donghu tribe who came, did not fight with them. If the Donghu tribes came to attack, the Qin army would shoot back with a powerful bow and crossbow.
Donghu did not have strict orders and fought a war with the wind. Once the war was unfavorable, it would scatter. If the Qin army fought and they would inevitably escape, then Li Mu's plan to annihilate Donghu would be disappointed.
In order to attract more Donghu to come, Li Mu ordered Qin army soldiers to take out gold, silver, jewelry, silk, porcelain and tea for a while, and even pretended to be defeated and let the Donghu tribe snatch it away.
Although gold, silver and jewelry are of extraordinary value, they are also somewhat attractive to Donghu, but not very much.
What made Donghu most happy was the silk, porcelain and tea from the Central Plains, which were not produced in Liaodong. Moreover, tea is a must-have in daily life. Because tea can overcome oil, Donghu, which is a staple food of beef and mutton, would be fed up and uncomfortable if it had no tea.
Therefore, Donghu wanted to get the good things that the Qin army had. When the news came out, the Donghu tribes could no longer sit still and kept sending troops. Some tribes even stepped up and rushed all to catch up with a lot of votes.
In order to attract more Donghu to come, Li Mu commanded the Qin army to be defeated and had to retreat.
In this way, more and more Donghu were attracted, and at present, there were no less than 300,000 people.
Donghu did not have many people, and 300,000 people accounted for almost half of its total population. If these 300,000 Donghu were killed, it would shock Liaodong and Donghu would be brave. Therefore, Li Mu decided to start a war.
Under the command of Li Mu, the Qin army drove out of the camp one after another, with a stern and a stern slaughtering force.
If they were in the Central Plains, Shandong would be frightened when they saw the Qin army in such a formation. However, Donghu saw it but did not agree, because they did not have unified orders, strict military discipline, and advanced tactics and tactics. When fighting, they would surge and they didn't understand what a dignified formation was.
In this way, the Donghu people will laugh at each other.
"Warriors: You all saw that this is the Central Plains people! The Central Plains people who don't know how to live or die! They have beautiful silk, useful porcelain, and delicious tea. These cowards are not worthy of having such good things! I will lead you to defeat the Central Plains people and capture his beautiful silk, useful porcelain, and delicious tea." A leader of the Donghu tribe waved his scimitar and spoke loudly to inspire morale.
Silk, porcelain, and tea are all things that Donghu wants the most. When he hears this, he is all a whisper, like thousands of evil wolves.
"Of course, don't forget their tender and tender wives!" The leader of the tribe had an alternative light in his eyes and shouted loudly: "The happiest thing for the warriors of Donghu is to defeat the enemy, enjoy their precious goods, insult their wives and concubines, and let their wives and concubines moan and cry under our crotch!"
"Howl!" This sentence outlines a beautiful blueprint, which inspired the Donghu warrior to wave his scimitar hard and howls, like a wolf howl.
"Kill all the people in the Central Plains!" The leader waved the scimitar in his hand at the Qin army, like thunder and lightning, with great momentum. He slapped the horse's back and rushed out first.
"Kill all the people in the Central Plains!" The warriors of this tribe rode a horse, waved their scimitars, and howled, pounced on them like wolves.
"Kill all the people in the Central Plains!" Once there is a tribe, other tribes will naturally not be willing to fall behind. If they go too late, they will not be able to grab all the good things?
So, all the Donghu people moved, and those who could ride horses would ride horses, and those who couldn't ride horses would walk. Those who could run ran, and those who couldn't run waved their arms and shouted loudly to cheer for the Donghu army.
"Boom!" Hundreds of thousands of Donghu people rushed to kill, their hooves sounded like thunder, which made the ground tremble, making them tremble.
However, it is not worth laughing at in Li Mu's eyes.
Because there are only many Donghu people, there are no unified orders or strict formations, they are just fighting each other and a group of mobs.
What's even more terrible is that Donghu does not reserve a reserve team. Once the war is unfavorable, they will have no chance to turn the tables.
In fact, the Donghu people only rely on their own sharpness to fight. If they cannot shake the enemy for a while, their sharpness will be released and they will run away.
"How could there be such a war!"
"Will you fight?"
Although the Qin army was extremely strict and they were not allowed to speak in the array, this situation still forced them to discuss it.
The Qin army fought east and west and fought to a great unification. I have experienced many battle formations, but I have never seen such a messy fighting style. I just have to be too busy and look glamorous. If I really want to fight, I will not have a chance to win.
The Qin army had no movement for a long time, which further encouraged Donghu's arrogance. It all roared like a mountain, trying to kill the Qin army.
However, what was greeted was the Qin army's overwhelming crossbow arrows. The Qin army's powerful crossbows were the nemesis of the cavalry. This power was amazing. Countless Donghu warriors were shot into the air with people and horses. The horses neighed and screamed in pain.
This is the first time that the Donghu army encountered such a terrible thing. It was scary and someone rushed forward.
However, at this time, the Donghu army's spirit was not yet exhausted, and many people still rushed to the scene without hesitation. The result was very miserable. The Qin army's powerful crossbow shot into a big hole and a small eye, and the death was extremely miserable.
The leaders were also frightened, but when they thought of silk, porcelain, and tea, their eyes shone again and directed the Donghu army to rush.
After paying the price of bleeding, the Donghu army finally rushed to the Qin army and could kill the Qin army. The Donghu army was very morale and swung the scimitar and rushed forward like a vicious wolf.
They were greeted by a forest of halberds, with countless long halberds forming a formation, and many Donghu warriors were stabbed to death and injured. Moreover, their death was extremely miserable, with at least three or five, at most ten, a dozen, or even as high as thirty or twenty.
Donghu could not shake the Qin army's formation at all, but instead suffered heavy casualties, which greatly reduced Donghu's aura.
Some timid people turned their horses and fled.
Once someone escaped, someone imitated it. The Donghu warriors turned their horses and prepared to scatter birds and beasts.
How could Li Mu let them escape? With a wave of the flag in his hand, the Qin army's cavalry rushed out from the left and right sides and penetrated directly into the back of his Donghu army, in order to cut off their retreat.
While galloping, the Qin cavalry shot with crossbows or bows and arrows, as if they were entering a deserted land. They quickly penetrated into the rear of the Donghu army, cutting off the Donghu army's retreat.
The Qin tribe was originally a nomadic people and was proficient in cavalry and shooting. The cavalry of the Qin army was no worse than that of the Donghu. In addition, there were many crossbows, so it would be impossible to make the Qin army's cavalry fail.
As soon as the encirclement was completed, the Qin army strangled the Donghu army under the command of Li Mu. First, they divided the Donghu army into several parts and then wiped them out one by one.
This is a massacre, a real massacre.
With the strong combat power of the Qin army and the flexible command of Li Mu, the military genius, complement each other, the Donghu army had no power to resist and was completely killed by the Qin army.
The Donghu did not know the power of the Qin army. The Qin army had to establish its authority in Liaodong to shock the Donghu troops. Massacre was inevitable.
Chapter completed!
