Amidst the thunderous sound of horse hooves, Ma Zhou led dozens of cavalrymen to gallop over, formed a cone formation, and struck hard at the chaotic Jingman.
Jingman had just experienced a tragic defeat, and at this moment, their hearts were already in disarray. Facing the Han cavalry that roared towards them like a rushing river, some screamed in agony in an attempt to make a final resistance, but more people chose to run away, because as long as
If you can escape into the mountains, you can escape danger.
A dozen Jingman hedgehogs with stubborn tempers and unwilling to escape gathered together and reluctantly organized a line of defense. Unfortunately, this line of defense was full of loopholes and was vulnerable to the cavalry led by Ma Zhou. It was like a small boat.
He was instantly engulfed by "turbulent waves".
The Jing Man's last resistance failed to achieve any results. Ma Zhou led his horsemen to ride through the waves and pursued the fleeing Jing Man non-stop. Since the Jing Man were just immersed in escaping for their lives and had no protection at all behind, the cavalry caught up from behind, brandishing their long knives.
Killing indiscriminately without any disadvantage.
The mountains seemed so close, as if they were coming in the blink of an eye, but in the end, all the fleeing Jingman fell on the road, were either killed, or knelt down and surrendered, and no one escaped.
A very young Jingman with a golden ring in his ear was stabbed to the ground with a spear pierced through his chest. His blood-stained eyes stared blankly at the sky. Only the slight rise and fall of his chest seemed to prove that he was not dead yet.
Ma Zhou was riding on a tall and powerful green horse, and he pulled the spear out of the young Jing Man's body with all his strength. This move also took away the little life left in Jing Man.
Afterwards, Ma Zhou glanced at the battlefield that was gradually calming down around him, with a look of unfinished content on his face.
This was not the battle that he was expecting in his heart, and it couldn't even be called a battle at all. After the Jing Man experienced a great defeat, it was difficult to organize a decent resistance and they only wanted to escape. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was a one-sided massacre.
As the fighting outside the city ended, loud cheers erupted in Hengshan City.
The villagers who had been hiding in their homes also walked out of their houses one after another. The brave ones even ran directly to the North Gate battlefield. Seeing the Jingman dead lying on the ground, they were so miserable that they couldn't help but talk about it.
Someone privately lamented: "I have always heard that Mr. Liu 'worked hard to support guests' and 'pledged letters to save his neighbors'. I thought he was a benevolent gentleman, but I didn't expect that he was capable of leading troops to kill thieves."
"If Mr. Liu has no talent in civil and military affairs, and An Neng is not as good as the weak crown, he will be entrusted with the task of hundreds of miles."
"Right……"
At this moment, Liu Jing, who was being discussed privately by the villagers of Hengshan, was listening to the report of his own casualties. As the main infantry in this battle was fully armored, only one person was killed and more than twenty were injured.
Most of the injured were injured on the arms and legs that lacked protection. They were not fatal injuries and could be recovered after a period of rest.
The standard armor of the Han Dynasty army, that is, the jacket, can only protect the chest and back. The more sophisticated armor has a cape and sleeves, which are enough to protect the shoulders and arms, but the armor skirt to protect the legs seems to have not yet appeared.
In the future, if you have the opportunity, you may try to make armor with a cape, skirt, etc. for tighter protection, and then select warriors who dare to fight to form an elite armored army. Even if the number is small, they will definitely be useful.
The two hundred soldiers mainly used long-range shooting with bows and crossbows, and did not personally participate in the fight. They only injured a few people. On the other hand, the officials and people of Hengshan on the city wall suffered heavy casualties in the initial exchange of fire with Jingman. All of them died.
Three people, more than ten people were injured.
However, overall, the annihilation of more than 300 Jingman with only four deaths and more than forty injuries was a complete victory.
Liu Jing asked the villagers to collect villagers and firewood trucks to transport all the Jingman corpses out of the city. There were no survivors in the Jingman during this battle. Regardless of whether they were surrendered or injured, after the war, the only remaining ten or so people were taken one way.
Killed by tribesmen.
Although Liu Jing was not the one to kill, he acquiesced to the one-way act. First, the hatred between the two parties was too deep and they would never stop fighting. Second, he had intended to use the heads of these Jing barbarians to frighten the barbarians in Hengshan, lest he
After leaving, Jingman came again to harass Hengshan Township.
It cannot be said that this method will definitely work, but Liu Jing believes that the chance of success is very high. He learned from Shan Cheng that this time the Jingman coalition army only had a total of 2,000 soldiers. The casualties in attacking Shanjiazhai were definitely not small, and they died directly this time.
After killing more than 300 people, his vitality was severely damaged. How could he have the courage to seek bad luck in Hengshan Township again?
During the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, plague was rampant and families were wiped out at every turn, which was shocking. Dead bodies were the most likely to breed plague. Liu Jing attached great importance to this. He knew that burying corpses was not safe, so he ordered the village stingy man to find a corpse.
They were placed in a deserted place and the bodies were burned together.
The countryman obeyed the order and left. Many Han people were averse to cremation, but if the person was a Jingman, there would be no psychological burden.
As soon as he finished explaining the matter, Liu Jing saw Liu Liang returning on horseback. He shouted excitedly from a distance: "Brother Cong..."
Seeing that he had returned intact, Liu Jing finally felt relieved, and then turned his eyes to his hand. In his hand, he actually held a Jing Man's head with curly hair and a bun.
Liu Liang quickly jumped off the horse, raised Jing Man's head, and said proudly: "Brother Cong, I got this."
Liu Jing frowned slightly, feeling quite disgusted, and at the same time he was also very surprised. You must know that Liu Liang is only sixteen years old this year. If we consider his age in future generations, he is only fourteen years old. He has only learned horse riding and swordsmanship for just over a year.
He actually beheaded a man himself when he went to the battlefield for the first time, and talked and laughed freely afterwards without feeling any discomfort. As expected, he was born to be a "general".
Although he had calmed down, he still wanted to show off his posture. Liu Jing said with a cold face: "Ziming, you are so brave. You dare to carry me on the battlefield quietly. Do you still think of me as a subordinate brother in your eyes?
Um?"
Liu Liang casually threw his head onto the passing chai truck, and then begged Liu Jing for mercy: "Brother Cong, I will never dare to make my own decisions next time, just because I have gained something this time."
Come on, please spare me this time."
Liu Jing glanced at him and said, "I hope you will remember what you said today, and if you do it again in the future..."
"If you commit another crime in the future, you will be dealt with by my brother." Liu Liang said with great solemnity, but in fact he didn't take it seriously at all.
How could Liu Jing not see what he was thinking? He was too lazy to waste time on this matter and asked about the situation of the cavalry.
Liu Liang replied: "Everyone is fine, but two horses were injured."
Liu Dingding nodded. War horses have a big target. Since ancient times, "shoot people first, shoot horses." Moreover, war horses lack necessary protection compared with people, and the casualties during battle are much greater than people.
His clan brother Liu Xiu had discussed this topic with him before. According to Liu Xiu, the battle casualty ratio of war horses is about three to four times that of humans. This is why war horses are so precious. They are really too delicate.
