Qibi Shamen rushed over with his men and fired at the enemy at the exit of the canyon. The six to seven thousand people were all grassland aliens and were good at using bows and arrows. The height of thirty meters was not a big problem for everyone, not to mention the crowds in the Jieli Department below.
Together, there is nowhere to hide, and they are like living targets.
In an instant, a large piece of the canyon fell down.
Shaman Qibi left half of his men to stare at the remaining ones, and led the others to continue shooting.
As a result, the pressure on Jieli's body below the canyon increased greatly. He could not run away or fight, and everyone was howling angrily and yelling something.
Qin Huaidao didn't understand a word and waited indifferently for the outcome of the battle. It was a hidden danger for the foreigners who surrendered and then were sentenced again to remain.
"Kill--"
Countless shouts of killing came. Qin Huaidao looked back and saw Shi Yeshan leading his men up the mountain from one direction. They swarmed up and fired at the canyon, clearing a large area in an instant.
The addition of the new force doubled the pressure on the Jieli tribe in the canyon. They were shouting and had no idea what they were talking about. Shi Yeshan understood what he was saying. He quickly came to Qin Huaidao and clasped his fists and said: "General, the Jieli tribe is begging for surrender.
"
"I don't understand, General." Qin Huaidao said indifferently. If he is not of my race, his heart will be different. If he surrenders and then re-judges him, he will be a villain again and again. It will be a disaster for him to keep him in the future.?
"clear!"
Shi Yeshan stopped talking nonsense, rushed forward and roared: "Kill them, leave no one behind."
The canyon was very long and there were many people, but they were blocked in front and back, so they could not get up. They could only fight back with bows and arrows. With no way to survive, Jieli began to go crazy. They dismounted and rushed forward, trying to rush out of the canyon and escape the trap.
If Qibi Shamen and Shi Yeshan hadn't been vegetarians, their two armies would have totaled more than ten thousand people. They both used bows and arrows. They were on both sides of the canyon, with no blind spots in their field of vision. One shot could knock down a large area in an instant.
Screams, wails, begging for mercy, and roars rang out together.
At this moment, the bottom of the canyon was like a death purgatory.
Not long after, Fang Yiai led his men to fight their way over, and the three armies converged. The shouts from below the canyon gradually weakened, then weakened again, until they subsided.
"call--"
Not far away, Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. The loss of 50,000 troops would definitely be a major blow to the rebels, but it could improve the morale of his side. He told the two of them: "Send the order and inform them."
The three generals rush to support and kill the rebel support troops. You must act quickly."
"Follow the order." The two pro-soldiers handed over their hands and left.
Qin Huaidao looked at another soldier: "Inform Yuchi Baoqi to lead his troops into the canyon and clear out the remnants. No prisoners will be left behind. No one is allowed to escape. Move quickly."
The other party clasped his fists in agreement and left in a hurry.
"The others will follow me, General." Qin Huaidao strode forward.
Marching all the way to a hillside, I saw countless rebels attacking a mountain, but they were blocked by the troops led by Su Dingfang, Li Yixie, and Niu Jinda. Fang Yiai and others arrived with their troops and launched attacks from different directions.
Seeing that they had to go against the law, the rebels retreated in an orderly formation. There were a large number of archers at the foot of the mountain, and there was also a huge cavalry on standby. They rushed down even to death without pursuing them.
Qin Huaidao walked over quickly, and several generals came up to greet him, all clasping their fists and saluting.
"Woo——"
At this time, a deep horn sound sounded, shaking the world.
The rebels slowly retreated and were evacuating.
"You bastard, you run very fast." Fang Yiai cursed, cupped his fists and said, "General, I will lead some people to chase them for a while and kill them."
"You can follow them, but don't chase them. Supervise them to evacuate from Yinshan Mountain and wait at the exit."
"Ah - obey the order!" Fang Yiai hurried over.
Qin Huaidao watched the rebels leave. It was a rare opportunity, so he naturally wanted to pursue them. However, from cooperating with the soldiers to defecting, to shooting Jie Libu, and then to blocking the rebels, the crossbow bolts and arrows were consumed in a huge amount of battles, and he could not fight anymore.
.
Everyone didn't know what Qin Huaidao was thinking, so they waited patiently.
After a while, the rebels walked away, and Qin Huaidao ordered: "General Niu, lead your people down the mountain to clean the battlefield, and take all the useful materials with you, as well as the bodies of your own people."
"Follow the order!" Niu Jiangda responded with clasped fists.
Qin Huaidao looked at the others: "Su Dingfang, led his troops to stay behind to collect the crossbow bolts. The others all returned to Ghost Crying Valley to help clean up the battlefield, collect all useful materials and return the same way. Remember, all the financial items found during the search will be handed over.
Allocate uniformly, no secrets allowed."
"Follow the order!" Fang Yiai and others had long been accustomed to Qin Huaidao's approach and hurried away.
After an hour, the battlefield was cleaned up and all useful supplies were taken away.
After walking along the original path for more than half an hour, the army came to the exit of Yinshan Mountain and saw Fang Yiai who was monitoring the rebels. Qin Huaidao stepped forward and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of the rebels?"
"Back to the general, the rebels are heading towards the Black City. The last general sent scouts to investigate. The rebels who were originally guarding the trapping position have also evacuated and have gone to the Black City."
"Black city?" Qin Huaidao looked in the direction of the black city. It was a city made of compacted earth. It was quite large and the city wall was strong enough. It couldn't be penetrated without siege equipment. Li Jiancheng chose to retreat back to the city. This was to prepare for the black city.
Should we take the city as the center and launch an attack on the imperial court?
"General, once the rebels enter the city, it will be difficult to fight." Niu Jinda reminded.
"It's too late to pursue him, let alone our people can't attack them." Qin Huaidao said in a deep voice.
At this time, the roar of horse hooves came from behind, and someone came galloping to beat the horse: "Report——General, several generals are back and are in the rear."
"Great, bring the war horses and pass the order. The army will return to the stronghold. The scouts will disperse for thirty miles to prevent the enemy from surrounding them." Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up and he ordered.
After giving the order, the army continued on their way, walked out of Yinshan Mountain, and followed the path they came from.
When passing the previous battlefield, they saw a mess on the ground and not a single rebel. The team continued to move forward. After more than an hour, they returned to the stronghold inside the mountain. The three thousand dragon warriors who stayed behind came out to greet them. They saw that the extra soldiers were a little nervous.
, but no one asked much.
Qin Huaidao led the army generals from all walks of life into the camp. Everyone sat on the ground and didn't care. Qin Huaidao got straight to the point: "Everyone, time is pressing. I want to say two things. First, there is no room for the 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers in the government to live here. Niu."
The general will find a place to camp again soon."
"Follow the order." Niu Jinda agreed.
"The second thing is to distribute the captured weapons. You can choose what you like, and keep the extra for spare. We will recruit good cavalrymen from the army to supplement General Shi. We will gather 10,000 light cavalry. General Shi, here you go.
In one day, let the new recruits become familiar with the tactics as soon as possible." Qin Huaidao looked at Shi Yeshan.
When Shi Yeshan heard that the army had been expanded to 10,000 people, he was overjoyed. This was a great sign of trust. He patted his chest and promised, "General, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission."
When Niu Jinda heard that he wanted to choose someone who was good at riding, he was a little reluctant, but he had no objection.
Qin Huaidao looked at Samana Qibi. The foreign tribesmen on the grasslands have suffered heavy losses since the war started. They must give them something sweet, otherwise the morale of the army will be unstable. He thought about it and said, "Samana Qibi, rest for one night and leave with your troops early tomorrow morning. I'll give it to you."
In three days, the Jieli tribe was captured, and the spoils of war were divided equally between the Chuo tribe, the Ashina tribe and the Sibi tribe. They were all those who had contributed to the court. Only fairness can lead to stability. Three days later
We must return, and I have only one request, the general. From now on, there will be no Jieli Department on the grassland."
"I obey the order, General Xie will do it!" Qibi Shamen's eyes lit up. Mutual annexations happened frequently on the grasslands. Everyone is familiar with this. The main force of Jieli's 50,000 troops died in the battle, and the rest were old people, women and
My kid, this is a big piece of fat. If you swallow it, you will become a lot stronger.
Qin Huaidao glanced around with sharp eyes and continued: "All the captured silver will be handed over and distributed uniformly among the pro-army forces. The war dead will be rewarded with one hundred guan, the seriously injured fifty guan, and the minor injured 20 guan. If there is any excess, it will be distributed evenly.
, if it’s not enough, make up for it after we capture the Black City, Qibi Sramana, you won’t give it to me until you have the Jieli Ministry, what do you think?”
"Thank you, General." Everyone said one after another, their eyes shining brightly.
According to military practice, 60% of what was seized was handed over to the court, and the remaining 40% was rewarded according to military merit. The 40% that encountered conscience were distributed, but many times they were withheld, and only a few were actually distributed. As for the dead and injured, no one cared about them.
It was after the war that the imperial court provided some compensation.
Qin Huaidao did the opposite. He did not surrender the prisoners to the imperial court, nor rewarded the meritorious ministers. Instead, he gave priority to the prisoners and subsidized the dead and wounded, and gave the remainder equally to everyone. This was against the rules, but it won the hearts of the people and was conducive to everyone's unification of the army.
