Chapter 729 How dare you play a trick to surrender in front of the Han people
Tens of thousands of black corpses were crushed into blood, spreading through grass, shrubs, mud by the river, and beach by the sea.
The sea water within one or two hundred feet of the coast was oozing a slight red color. It also dyed a tributary into the sea at the northernmost side of the Lancang Water slightly red.
Although the battlefield between the two sides is actually a little far from this position, it is entirely because the blood on the gentle slopes on both sides naturally descended due to the laws of physics, and it flowed for several miles before entering the river.
As Linyi pseudo-king area was assassinated and killed by Zhao Yun, the elephant group was trampled on each other wildly, and the end of the battle had long been decided. However, more than 100,000 people were to be completely annihilated, which could not be achieved within a few hours.
Moreover, the Han army was afraid of accidents, so they basically only expelled and killed, encircled and did not contact each other. A small number of barbarian tribes that were not determined to break into the Han army's army formation, and they all hit the gun and destroyed themselves.
Zhao Yun did not dare to make a decision to surrender easily. After all, the gap between these lacquer barbarians and Han people is too big, and their human nature and cruelty are completely different.
Zhao Yun didn't even know whether he could rule them with courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame after surrendering, or was he destined to surrender and rebellion? After all, he had never seen anyone who could not sum up his experience of fear like a beast, and he still rushed after killing so many companions.
It is three thousand miles away from Nanhai County, the Great Han Dynasty and two thousand miles away from Jiaozhi County. It is not easy to come and you can't take risks.
Of course, there must be occasional prisoners and voluntary surrenders during the war. Zhao Yun's troops also accepted the surrender and did not kill all enemies who saw that they were similar in color to the Han people and were not very different from the Han people.
After all, the Han civilization has been very inclusive since ancient times. As long as you don’t see it at a glance, you can teach Chinese, recognize Chinese characters, and identify Han cultural values. After several generations, it gradually transformed into Han people’s integration.
Although Zhuge Liang's "seven captures and seven traits" in this life, he must rely on suppression and exercising to deal with remote barbarians, so he must win over the natives who took the initiative to approach the Han people.
Zhao Yun had so much life experience in this life and had assisted him, so he could understand this.
At the very limit, you must fight against one faction. It is impossible to offend them all to death.
...
Therefore, this battle of "no pursuit, no surrender, only surround" ended in the hottest afternoon, and finally formed a strange picture: the completely collapsed barbarian riots naturally fled to the beach.
The Han army was also overdrawn in physical strength, which was very dangerous, but at least it pulled up the semicircular encirclement. Zhao Yun's cavalry, whose physical strength was relatively good, played the role of plugging the leak, and the two sides finally turned to a stalemate.
Wei Yan, who led the central infantry formation, had already suffered heatstroke, but was not in danger of his life. The Han soldiers either slept or sat, and it was rare to find coconut or palm trees directly against the shade of the trees. Thank God. There was no place to squeeze in the cool place, so they could only find grass, trees, stems and leaves to cover the sun to cover the head and face.
After the war stopped temporarily, the Han army quickly distributed soldiers in good condition and went to the river next to them to fetch water, so that all the soldiers who had almost drunk all the water could have a mouthful of emergency.
Zhao Yun was still cautious in this regard. He had long known that tropical river water should not be drunk directly. There were too many mosquitoes and other unknown subtle poisonous insects, so he was also restrained and tried to return to the camp to get the boiled water and distributed it to the three armies.
Previously, Zhao Yun paid great attention to drinking water safety since the day he landed, and asked soldiers to cut down firewood and burn hot water to reserve. He also tried to plunder the surrounding villages of the lacquered barbarians, collect all clean water containers, wash, burn and disinfect, and then stay in the camp to store water.
However, after the war, everyone's throat was burning and thirsty, and Zhao Yun could not control so much. Many soldiers were dying after being heatstroke. Even though they knew that the river water in front of them had poisonous insects or even had a certain concentration of human blood mixed in, they could only drink it. At most, they could walk a few hundred steps upstream to find the source of water that seemed to have not been contaminated by blood.
After the war, soldiers who were infected and reduced from the blood and sewage of poisonous insects and people due to drinking poisonous insects and blood sewage, and were infected, they were probably going to lose at least thousands more!
But there is no way, the bloody battles and colonization of the tropical regions are so cruel.
Zhao Yun and Wei Yan knew in their hearts that after killing tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers, even if they were exhausted, they would not chase and be surrender or negotiate, but as long as they could ensure that they could rest and drink water to restore their physical strength, the Han army would be the absolute winner.
After all, tens of thousands of lives on the other side were just exchanged for "30,000 Han soldiers on the verge of heatstroke". If the heatstroke is relieved, the consumption of those tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers is equivalent to dying in vain.
Of course, they still changed to a direct kill and exchange ratio of less than one-tenth, but that's all, and other added values were cleared.
After half an hour of emergency rest, all the soldiers of the Han army recovered. After drinking two pots of warm and cool boiled water step by step, Wei Yanxun's spirit was completely different.
He also cares a lot about common sense in life: you should not remove your armor immediately during the heat and sweating, and you should beware of "armour removal wind". You should not drink a lot of cold water immediately. You should control the rhythm from slow to fast.
Fortunately, the weather here is around New Year's Day in the late November of the lunar calendar, and the temperature is still above 35 degrees, so the cool white in the kettle is at least 35 degrees, which is not cool at all.
After recovering from his health, Wei Yan staggered to find Zhao Yun and asked for his next plan: "General Zhao has killed the pseudo king and is still surrounded and stalemate with the enemy, but what should we do? There will always be an end.
These barbarians do not seem to be able to naturalize our Han people with the race, but they should also be wary of trapped beasts fighting."
Zhao Yun was also very tired. Although he was very majestic when he killed the area half an hour ago, he was actually fully focused and devoted himself to all his energy. He rode a horse to avoid the elephant group and took the barbarian king directly. This kind of thing was also very dangerous and he could not be neglected at all.
Zhao Yun was just drinking water at this moment and smiled miserably: "I'm tired, I can't think about it for the time being. Since it's beneficial to us to surround us, we won't lose money if we drag it down, so we'll drag it until the evening is cooler. Arrange the formation and if possible, make some wood to build obstacles, so that the enemy will be more difficult to break through.
And we don’t know if this is the entire force of all the barbarians in Chameng area. What if they don’t fully support the district company? What if the district company’s ruling of Qi Man is not thorough enough to make them gamble? After our army leaves, those Qi Man will retaliate against the Han people and Baiyue people, which is also a problem.
Therefore, it is also beneficial to be able to drag and seduce more potential hard enemies. We are now trapping them in a semicircle by the sea, and they will soon be short of fresh water and food.
If the chiefs of the Barbarian tribe wanted to rescue the warriors in the tribe, they might secretly use canoes or other small boats to transport supplies and pick up the warriors in the direct line. Although Ziyi left with the main navy force, we still had some boats.
The coastline of the battlefield here is narrow, and leaving this hole to seduce it, perhaps it will lead to more people hiding in the jungle and leading them to the beach to kill them."
After hearing Zhao Yun's tone was bleak but his logic was absolutely calm, Wei Yan was slightly chilled.
He has been fighting with General Zhao for more than seven years, but he has never seen Zhao Yun kill so decisively. It can only be said that the environment is really bad and it is not easy to keep it away.
Wei Yan was stunned for a while before he reminded carefully: "To deal with barbarians two thousand miles away from Jiaozhi, if you just kill them, you may not be able to last long... Our army cannot station for a long time, and even immigration cannot be done for the time being."
Zhao Yun raised his hand: "If we have similar appearances to us, if we surrender sincerely, we can make a book in the future, and we will stay and teach and educate. At that time, we will force them to fight bloody battles with those Qi Man first and form a deadly enemy.
If the lives of the people in his hands are too heavy, he has to rely on the protection of the court. At least they have to worry about Qi Man's revenge after the army leaves."
Wei Yan was relieved only then. He also knew that General Zhao's original intention was still a kind person, and was forced by an alienated environment. For such a violent and violent act, Wei Yan should be the main force.
If the enemy truly surrendered forever, Zhao Yun certainly accepted it, but Zhao Yun knew in his heart that these Qimans must have surrendered. They knew that Tianyire Han army would withdraw and would rebel at that time.
The decline is also due to the temporary decline in winter. It only drops for three months a year. Of course, such capricious people will be killed.
...
The siege of that day was dragged until late in the evening.
Because the Han army did not attack, the barbarian soldiers had just experienced the death of the Barbarian King, the elephant soldiers were destroyed, and more than 30% of the soldiers were killed or injured. Therefore, their morale collapsed and they did not dare to organize a large-scale counterattack and break through. Instead, they wanted to rest and recover their physical strength.
A small number of "knowledgeable people" break through because they are uneven, but they are just for nothing.
More than 100,000 people were besieged on a beach area about twenty miles long and seven or eight miles deep. Although some sparse trees were covered, it was obviously not enough for everyone to hide from the sun.
After all, the Han army that was surrounded by the opposite side had much better conditions than theirs, and there were still people who wanted to bask in the sun. These people who were surrounded must be even worse than those who were surrounded.
If the sun hadn't set, there would have been thousands of people who were directly killed by the sun.
This is considered the extra sun-resistant attributes brought by curled hair paint. If you have yellow skin and straight hair like the Han people, the scorching sun in the afternoon will be so sunny that you can kill more than 10,000 people.
The sun sets, temporarily relieving their sense of crisis without too much long-term consideration. The savages lack the expected IQ for the vision and will not think too far. Most of them have not yet realized what the consequences will be if they are short of water and food on the beach.
On the first night, because of the existence of a few trees on the beach, coconuts can be used to get water, and can also eat leaves or squeeze leaves to drink. Most of the barbarians survived. But all these things were eaten and drunk overnight.
After the sun rose the next day, the deterioration of the situation suddenly worsened. The leaves were eaten in large quantities, and the depths of several miles near the beach became more and more bare. No one had any fresh water sources throughout the day, and it was undoubtedly fatal to have to be directly exposed to the whole day.
Moreover, the October to the twelfth lunar month of the lunar calendar is the cool part of the dry season in Vietnam in later generations. It does not rain every day, and it becomes relatively difficult to replenish water after rain.
The barbarian chiefs realized the problem and knew that they had to break through, but because of the rest of the night, they suddenly found that Zhao Yun's encirclement had become more tight.
The Han army actually cut down thousands of trees overnight, built a number of simple horse-resisting obstacles, and even worked hard to dig a trench just one foot deep on the sand and river mud terrain, which made it even more difficult to break through.
The reason why it is only one foot deep is obviously that the Han army is not strong enough and cannot work all night. There is not enough time, so I dug up this little for the time being.
Such a trench itself has very poor defense and hysteresis effect, but it is obviously much better than having no trench at all with the trench and the Han army's spear array behind the trench.
Faced with the emerging difficulties, the soldiers of various barbarian tribes who should have been desperate to break through, and because the Barbarian King District was dead and lacked unified command, the tribes were dissatisfied with each other and had differences.
Relatively speaking, the people who recognize the situation the most are those Baiyue people who were originally close to the neighboring family and were all yellow-skinned and straight-haired.
After all, they have an IQ that is close to the Han people, a brain that "predicts the possible future trends", knows what the outcome will be if they are siege, and knows that the later they are, the more difficult it is to break through, so no matter how many people die, they have to break through at any cost.
Those Qi Man, who are still martial but have no historical knowledge, will not predict what will happen in the future and will not look at the trend.
The chiefs of the Baiyue tribe discussed and broke through the Qiman tribe. The chiefs of the Qiman tribe thought that these Baiyue chiefs who were very scheming had the same heart as Qu Lian and wanted to trick them into being cannon fodder first and die.
In desperation, a group of Baiyue chiefs had to save themselves. After discussing for a while, they joined forces with the Baiyue people to break through in a seemingly weakest direction.
The result is naturally tragic. If Wei Yan can't defend such a breakthrough even if he has fortifications, then he should not be able to mess around.
After the fight started, after killing nearly tens of thousands of Baiyue soldiers, Wei Yan made a call at the right time, and the Han army yelled that they were willing to accept the surrender of the Baiyue people. The Baiyue tribes had already been killed and put down their weapons and all surrendered.
After Wei Yan recruited these people, he asked them to serve hard labor and continued to strengthen the siege fortifications on the front line in front of the formation. Only when they performed well would return the weapons, and asked them to fight on the front line and kill the Qiman tribes.
Fortunately, even when Qu Lian was alive, there were many tribal conflicts in Linyi. The Baiyue people and the Qi Barbarians often killed each other. After the Han people came, they asked them to continue this kind of killing and promised a way out, so just do it.
The Qiman tribe, who was watching the breakout situation in the back, saw the shouts of killing in the distance gradually stopped, and the Baiyue soldiers fled back. They were surprised whether the breakthrough was successful or what, but after sending people to inquire, they found out that the Baiyue people surrendered and accepted the adaptation.
The Qiman tribe was thirsty for a long time after being sunburned and wanted to surrender at this time.
However, as soon as they rushed up, they were greeted by the Han army's arrow rain and gun formation. The trench they faced also deepened to two feet, making it even harder to rush through.
While shooting arrows, the Han soldiers asked the loud voice to temporarily learn Manyu to speak, so that Qi Man would not want to surrender and flee back to the jungle.
Because the Baiyue Shunmin, who surrendered first, had already told the Han generals about their cunning, no faith and bad deeds!
It is said that Qi Man always surrenders and rebells again and again, and he doesn’t know what faith and righteousness are!
The chiefs of the Qiman tribe were furious. Seeing that their sloppy plan of "first surrender first, wait until the Han army withdraws before rebel" was discovered by the Han people, they fought bloody battles with the informed Baiyue prisoners of war, of course, these Baiyue prisoners of war were just incorporated by the Han army, so they were supervised and placed in the front row to resist injuries.
The direct troops of the Han army were exported remotely at the back, or set up gun arrays to minimize casualties, and almost all the deaths were newly reduced cannon fodder and enemies.
If the newly surrendered Baiyue soldiers were unwilling to be used and wanted to transfer their weapons and turn back, they would be stabbed to death by the Han army immediately supervising the battle. Wei Yan had never relaxed in the dike of these people's capricious possibility.
Within a few days, in order to overcome the siege of barbarians trapped on this bloody beach, they used various methods to break through and waited for death. Tens of thousands were killed by the scorching sun and lack of water every day.
They also sent messengers to row temporary canoe boats (made by cutting down trees on the beach) and even swim to break through at night to report the news, and go to tribal strongholds deep in the jungle to find people to bring boats to rescue.
However, Zhao Yun's attitude was always "turn a blind eye to one or two boats that delivered small-scale letters, but he would completely annihilate the organized breakthrough of a hundred and a thousand people."
So, only the messenger ran out, no troops broke through in an established manner, and the reinforcements who were brought back to transport water to pick up people were all killed in the sea by the Han army's patrol ships. The savages hiding in the jungle also lost the possibility of returning to the jungle guerrillas and were seduced to kill them in batches by the sea.
After seven or eight days of stalemate, Wei Yan finally completely wiped out the trapped beasts who were still fighting against Qi Man/Kunlun slave.
