Chapter 919 Landslide
Mao Jiong and Dong Yuan were not in a hurry to attack.
Just under the Hengshan Pass, there were deep ditches and high fortresses to guard against the elephant soldiers' attack.
Many times, if you don't panic, it's the enemy who panics.
The Qin army was uncharacteristically uneasy, which made Fan Xiong feel uneasy. People with ambitions generally don't lose weight.
The crazier the people shout, the more fearful they are in their hearts.
If the Qin people lose, they can come back again; if Lin Yi loses, they have nothing.
After a ten-day confrontation, Fan Xiong finally couldn't bear it any longer and used elephant soldiers to launch a surprise attack.
More than 700 elephants started running, the ground shook, and the mountains shook, followed by 10,000 troops. These troops were enough to deal with the Qin army.
The antlers of the Qin army's earthen siege had no effect on the enemy soldiers, and they would fall apart with just a slight bump.
The trenches are even more useless and can easily be filled up.
Just as they were about to break into the Qin army's camp, they would trample and trample the Qin army. Suddenly, the camp was filled with flames, war drums were beating, and hundreds of tigers and lions with bamboo sticks were pushed to the front of the formation. The soldiers of the Qin army were learning from behind.
Liger roars.
With bursts of rockets coming, tigers and lions turned into fire tigers and fire lions.
The huge roar and the light of fire really frightened the war elephant. It turned around and ran away, running back like crazy and trampling on Lin Yi's army.
"Today is the day to make great achievements!" A general came out with a sword, waved the command flag behind his back, and more than 4,000 war horses galloped out from behind the camp.
"kill!"
The cavalry had been waiting for a long time. With their tall horses equipped with sharp spears, the cavalry suddenly turned into black meteors and meteorites, hitting the enemy.
But those running in front were not cavalry, but infantry.
The Shanyue and Nanman barbarians went crazy because they could gain land and status just by relying on the enemy's heads.
For hundreds of years, the Han Dynasty and Soochow only wanted to enslave them, especially Soochow, who only treated them as soldier slaves and serfs, working hard and getting nothing.
However, Da Qin accepted them, gave them land, and educated them.
Although the Vietnamese barbarians in Shanxi are simple, they are not fools. They know who is good to them.
Of course, the most important thing is that Da Qin is too powerful and its methods are... a bit cruel, which makes them unable to have the desire to fight with force.
Once an elephant is frightened, it is impossible to save it manually.
More than 700 elephants made a bloody path and headed towards Hengshan Pass.
The Qin army then carried out a cover-up and massacre, and the dead bodies of the Linyi soldiers who came out of the pass were everywhere.
"Take Hengshan Pass, destroy its capital, and destroy its race!" More than a dozen Qin generals roared crazily from behind.
Killing is sometimes the best reward.
straightforward.
The Shanyue and Southern Barbarians also liked this method the most, and their ferocity was completely aroused. They all had red eyes and struggled to move forward to kill.
When Linyi rose, he repeatedly attacked Rinan County, harassed Jiaozhi, and brutally killed Han people.
In this era, killing is definitely not wrong, and killing is also the most direct and effective way.
Mao Jiong has guarded Jiaozhi for many years and is well aware of the nature of the people in this land. Since the Han Dynasty, rebellions have been coming one after another. Now that there are fewer Han and more barbarians, the most direct way is to reduce their population...
Then talk to them about benevolence, justice and morality.
Lin Yi's army that left the city was quickly slaughtered.
The Qin army used rockets to drive away the elephants.
The elephant was hit by a rocket, and it was even more frightened. It crazily crashed into the Hengshan Pass gate.
Dozens of elephants filled the moat, and the elephants behind them trampled past and crashed into the city gate.
How can a wooden city gate withstand the impact of an elephant weighing nearly 10,000 pounds?
It's like paper and will break when hit.
Even the walls of the earthen fort could not block the impact of the elephant.
The elephants swarmed into Guanzhong again and stampeded wildly until they were exhausted or drained of blood before they collapsed.
Everything that Fan Xiong prepared in fear was gone in less than two hours.
The Qin army's infantry poured into the city, setting off a new round of killings.
"You, why do you want to help the Qin army?" Fan Xiong recognized that many Qin soldiers were actually Shanyue people and barbarians from Jiaozhou.
A few years ago, he also sent people to lure these tribes, allowing them to take the opportunity to cause civil strife and drive away the Qin people together.
"We are waiting for the Qin army!" All the troops shouted excitedly.
Two hours ago, Fan Xiong was still immersed in the fantasy of defeating the Qin army.
Two hours later, the Qin army came to him.
The changes were so rapid that he didn't even escape Hengshan Pass.
The bloody sword and spear swung forward crazily, creating waves of blood.
In the blink of an eye, Fan Xiong and his bodyguards turned into a pool of blood and mud.
A stream of blood slowly flowed out of the city and flowed under the hooves of Mao Jiong's horse. More than four thousand horsemen stood silently at the gate.
In fact, he didn't expect that just being a returnee would make Shanyue and Nanman so crazy.
Da Qin has always advocated the Qin Yi family, which has a great temptation for the surrounding Yi people.
Although Dai Gui is not a real Qin person yet, he gives them hope.
"If you kill too much, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the emperor in the future." Dong Yuan advised in Mao Jiong's ear.
Mao Jiong shook his head and said: "No, if you don't see Ma Duhu, how can the King Dudu rise? Without him, the chaos can be cut with a sharp sword!"
Malong once killed powerful men in Bingzhou.
Needless to say, Wang Jun acted vigorously and vigorously in Shandong, braving the disapproval of the world and annihilating the three Wang clans, and he is still alive and kicking to this day.
This shows that the higher authorities approve of their actions.
As for who approved it, it is self-evident.
"The heavier the killing, the more stable the southern border will be! The Linyi State is unruly and will not use heavy hands. The small countries in the four directions and the barbarians in the territory do not know the danger of our great Qin!" Mao Jiong said in a deep voice.
In fact, the Han Dynasty was kind enough to them in the past.
When the Western Han Dynasty fell, they rebelled. When the Eastern Han Dynasty weakened, they rebelled. As long as there was an opportunity, they would not hesitate to raise their swords.
Of course, part of the reason for the cruelty and greed of officials in the late Han Dynasty.
But they have not been completely melted down for hundreds of years, which shows that there is something wrong with the old routine.
Mao Jiong and Dong Yuan were not just generals, they were also scholars and were good at thinking.
Hengshan Pass was completely destroyed, and the bodies were buried under the earth city, forming a small mound.
Mao Jiong did not hesitate, leaving his infantry with Dong Yuan, and led four thousand cavalry southward to Sanghapura.
Completed a joint attack with Tao Huang's navy.
Fan Xiong's head and crown were hung on a long pole, and the city was wailing, but they still refused to surrender.
The crown prince Fan Yi immediately succeeded to the throne, thinking that the city was strong and continued to resist.
Seven days later, Dong Yuan arrived with his infantry and launched a fierce attack on the city.
Sanghabula is at best a county in the Central Plains, and it is not even as large as a county.
Facing the fierce attack of two powerful armies, the city barely resisted for three days before being captured.
Mao Jiong directly ordered the city to be razed to the ground.
With their previous promises, the Vietnamese barbarian soldiers in Shanxi would naturally not show mercy.
This battle was also to frighten the internal and external barbarians.
Tao Huang did not agree with Mao Jiong's move, but he did not object.
This rule has been in place since the Qin and Han dynasties, and many stubborn resisters were massacred. Needless to say, in the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had to conquer no matter how far away it was, and it was by no means a matter of running thousands of miles away with a sword in hand to reason with others.
They also want to kill people...
There is a record in "The Biography of Dawan": The Second Division resumed its march, and there were many soldiers. Every small country they went to welcomed them and gave food to the army. When they arrived at Lundou, they could not move down from Lundou, so they attacked for several days and massacred them.
The fire in Sanghapura burned for one day and then went out. There was no way, the city was too small.
