Chapter 618: Prisoners! Fairness in the Han Dynasty!
The sound of the war drum is low, but it has an inspiring power. Under the constant beating of the drum, it is as if the heart is beating along with the drum sound, becoming extremely passionate and powerful.
Although the cold wind in the autumn night blows on the body, it is inevitable that it will make people feel chilly. Even because we are located in the north, it blows towards the face, which makes people feel like a knife cutting their faces.
But after seeing the big fireball soaring into the sky, almost everyone forgot about their external feelings at that moment. They just stared at the fireball soaring into the sky and followed the traces of the fireball flying in the air.
…
In this era, these things that are beyond ordinary people's cognition often form a mysterious feeling, but for Fei Qian, this is just a temporary idea and measure.
Just like people who lived in the 1970s and 1980s, when they saw landline phones, they felt very fashionable and fresh. Let them imagine what it would be like in the future when touch screens, fingerprint unlocking and even facial recognition unlocking would appear?
The trebuchet had already taken shape as early as the Warring States Period, but at that time it was still pulled by manpower, but Fei Qian and Huang, the craftsmen who built the equipment, suggested using counterweights instead. Of course, if you want to project heavy objects, such as
If you want to throw stone bullets and other long distances, then naturally you need to make the counterweighted catapult higher and larger, so that the counterweight can exert its full strength. However, if you are just throwing some balls bundled with wood and fodder, the weight is actually
It's not big either, so a normal ratio is fine.
Although the wood and fodder are tied, there are still many gaps. On a dry autumn day, it is very flammable, and the ropes that are tied are often burnt and loose when in the air, so after landing,
With the inertia, it splashed and scattered, bringing the flames everywhere, and the momentum was extremely huge.
The Xianbei people were stunned when they saw five or six fireballs falling from the sky and falling on their array. A dozen Xianbei people who could not dodge were ignited by the scattered sparks and flames, and their clothes and hair were ignited, and they screamed in fear.
Some screamed, some rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames, some ran around in panic, and finally their whole bodies were set on fire...
The loss of manpower is actually not big, but the problem is that it brings chaos to the war horses. Faced with this situation, animals behave more directly than humans. Many war horses are restless. If it were not forcibly controlled by the Xianbei people on the horses,
He will probably run away immediately.
In the dark night, five or six more fireballs streaked across the sky...
The blood vessels on Da Dang Hu’s forehead were pulsing and he had a splitting headache. His military formation had not been fully deployed. There were still some cavalry gathering behind him. Continuing to wait here meant that he would continue to suffer this inhumanity from the Han army.
attack, and if we attack now, we will not be able to fully utilize our own forces.
"Shu Si Qian! Where is the Shu Si Qian Qian Commander?" shouted Danghu.
Shusi couldn't help but feel nervous, but he still braved the situation and came to the front of Danghu.
"Take your men and attack the frontal infantry position of the Han army. I will follow behind with my men." Dadanghu said in a deep voice.
"...As you wish, it's a big deal..." Shusi was silent for a moment, and then said.
Dadanghu watched Shusi turn around and leave, then waved to his personal guards and whispered: "Let everyone get ready..." Dadanghu did not say what to prepare, but based on the current situation, either
Either be prepared to fight for your life or be prepared to escape. Are there any other options?
"Zhonglang, the Xianbei people seem to be a little hesitant." Jia Qu stood beside Fei Qian and said with a smile, "But I guess they will start attacking soon..."
"Since you are your opponent, never let him be comfortable..." What Fei Qian said, naturally he did the same. Regarding war, he is actually still a novice, but intrigues will never be possible as long as there are still people alive.
Disappearing, even taking a photo together in future generations can be scheming, what else can't be drawn by analogy?
No matter how the methods change, the essence is to do everything possible to make the opponent feel uncomfortable no matter what they do or choose, and then you will naturally feel comfortable.
Not only was Da Dang household uncomfortable, Qianqi Commander Shu Si, who was preparing to serve as the first wave of attack force, was also extremely uncomfortable. However, as a military order, it must be obeyed no matter what, so even if there were all kinds of dissatisfaction and reluctance,
, but still complied with it.
Shusi was about to give the order when suddenly a Hundred Cavalry Commander squeezed over, pointed at some shaking figures in front of the Han infantry and said: "Qian Cavalry Commander! Look at the people over there..."
Shusi frowned and tried hard to identify the figures twisting under the light of the torches in front of the Han army. The more he looked at them, the more familiar they looked. His heart suddenly jumped and he said: "These are not... people. Report this matter."
Great deal!"
In front of the Han army's formation, the rows of writhing figures turned out to be not Han soldiers, but Xianbei people!
Just like when the Xianbei people attacked Han cities, they often forced Han people to stand in front, Fei Qian also unceremoniously put the captured Xianbei people at the forefront of the battle formation.
When Fei Qian issued the order, he was a little worried that someone would use some excuse to persuade him, such as preferential treatment for prisoners, but he unexpectedly discovered that whether it was Ma Yan, Xu Huang, Huang Cheng and others from the general series, or Jia Qu from the civil service series
, Xu Shu, actually agreed...
This? Fei Qian pondered for a while, maybe the Confucian books read by the Han people today have not been mutilated by later generations taking them out of context?
Repay vengeance with kindness and repay kindness with kindness. This is the concept upheld by the people of the Han Dynasty. It has not been distorted into saying that everything must repay grievance with kindness, nor has it been kidnapped by morality at every turn.
In that case, let’s do it this way!
How the barbarians treat the Han people, so do the barbarians.
This is the concept of fairness of the Han Dynasty people!
In order to prevent the Xianbei prisoners from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, Huang Cheng showed his cruel side and singled out about twenty prisoners who were not very obedient and even some noisy ones along the way and brought them to the front of the battle line and chopped them down without saying a word.
When the bloody heads fell to the ground, although the mutual language was not very smooth, the meaning expressed by this violence was very clear.
The remaining Xianbei people were obviously much more honest, but they also understood their situation. They were tied up by the Han people with ropes and lined up in front of the formation. Isn't this the same thing they did before?
What?
Either he would be hacked to death with knives or shot with arrows by the Han people behind him, or he would be trampled to death by his own people's horse hooves.
More than three hundred Xianbei prisoners watched helplessly as the footsteps of death approached step by step. They couldn't help but scream and cry bitterly. They twisted their tightly tied bodies in vain, shouted and cursed in nonsense...
…
When did Confucians start to like taking quotes out of context?
Because of the lack of books and texts, from the beginning of filling in the gaps to the later extension, there was a tendency to quibble...
Therefore, the shortcomings in the dissemination of objective knowledge in ancient times and the difficulty in retaining books as a whole are also one of the reasons for this practice in later generations...
