"The little one is willing to stay and follow the adults to kill the Turkic dogs and take revenge!"
"I'm afraid I'll die on the way back."
"My family was destroyed by Turkic dogs and I was left homeless. The younger ones followed the adults to kill Turks."
"I'll stay too!"
"Yes, I fought with the Turkic dogs and took revenge!"
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another and were very emotional.
Qin Huaidao felt the determination and hatred in everyone and smiled. What a good source of soldiers. He looked at the female slaves and saw that everyone's faces were ashen. His heart hurt inexplicably. He asked harmoniously: "Everyone, what are your plans?"
Everyone did not answer and remained motionless, as if someone had taken away their energy.
Qin Huaidao turned over and dismounted. Worried about scaring everyone, he did not step forward. He asked in a harmonious voice from a distance: "Ladies, what are your plans? Are you going back?"
A woman mustered up her courage and said: "Sir, I'm just a weak woman. I can't protect myself on the way back. Even if I get home successfully and my innocence is ruined, I still have no way to survive. I can't kill the Turks with you like Lang Jun and take revenge. The only way is to survive."
Once you die, you will be free from your remaining body."
The words conveyed endless sadness and helplessness.
Qin Huaidao's heart hurt, as if he was being grabbed and torn apart, and he felt a desire to protect him. If a man can't even protect a woman, how can he have any dignity in the world?
An idea came to mind, and Qin Huaidao said solemnly: "Everyone, I am going to set up a medical team and teach the methods of healing and rescuing people. All of them will be women. Do you want to wait?"
Female medical soldiers were nothing in later generations, but in this era they were absolutely shocking and against etiquette. However, in order to give everyone hope and let everyone live, and at the same time to solve the problem of rescuing people on the battlefield and improve the combat effectiveness of the team, Qin Huaidao couldn't care less.
Forget etiquette, living is the right way to go.
Human life is greater than heaven!
What's more, women are attentive, kind-hearted, and skillful. Coupled with their gender, they can easily inspire men's courage and motivation, so they are most suitable for battlefield treatment.
Everyone was shocked when they heard these words. Luo Tong couldn't help but wanted to remind him, but Luo Ying quickly stopped him and shook his head to signal to be silent.
Li Yixie also wanted to remind him, but thought of Qin Huaidao's character and held back.
The female slaves looked at Qin Huaidao with the same shock. Gradually, their desperate and numb eyes became more colorful. It was the light of hope. The woman who just spoke knelt down and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir, for waiting for me to survive, but...
…This will bring bad luck to the adults.”
People in this era believed that women could not join the army, otherwise it would be unlucky. Qin Huaidao had also heard of this, but he did not care and solemnly said: "No need to worry, as long as you are willing."
Who wants to die if he can live?
In this chaotic grassland, the only way to survive is to follow the army. The female slaves vaguely guessed what the medical soldiers were doing, and they were a little ashamed. After all, men and women were not close to each other, but when they thought of their identity and the thought of being able to survive, they risked their lives.
promise.
"Li Yixie!" Qin Huaidao shouted.
"Here!" Li Yixie came up quickly.
"The men will be organized into the second regiment, with you as the leader. If the number is insufficient, we will slowly increase the number. First, take good care of your health and regain combat effectiveness as soon as possible. The women will be organized into the medical battalion, attached to the baggage regiment, and we will find people to train in healing and treatment skills."
"Follow the order!" Li Yixie was overjoyed. There was no shortage of slaves on the grassland. The number of soldiers in the second regiment would soon be full. At that time, he would be able to step down from the baggage regiment and fight on the front line.
"Everyone listen to my order and put the Turks under centralized custody. They will camp here tonight. Brother Luo, send more scouts to investigate the surrounding area for thirty miles. There must be no leaks."
"Obey the order!" Everyone immediately accepted the order and acted quickly.
The team took action again, each performing its duties. As for the tribal prisoners, according to the rules of the grassland, they were either killed or enslaved. Qin Huaidao could not do anything to women, children, children and the elderly, but all the men were collected and sent to the supply camp, and announced this
The right to belong to the tribe, I plan to rescue He'er and then decide how to deal with it.
For the people of the tribe, as long as they don't kill, they are lucky, no one complains, and they are used to it.
Not long after, Zhao Long brought a can of stewed mutton. After eating a lot of Pegasus meat, he got tired of the taste. The mutton suddenly felt delicious. He drank some fresh mutton and ate some wild vegetables and dried fruits. It was very comfortable.
After eating and drinking, Qin Huaidao asked the captured soldier to be brought in for careful questioning. He learned that fifty miles to the east there was a tribe called Qimai, with about 3,000 households. The captured small tribe was Qimai.
Tribes that are separated are considered brother tribes.
Three thousand households are not a small tribe. According to the report of the soldiers, there are nearly five thousand soldiers. Starting from the Han Dynasty, the Turks' favorite thing to do is to go to the Tang Dynasty to thresh grass and grain and snatch food and slaves.
To give birth, every household has a large population, and the population has increased dramatically in the past ten years.
The Begging Club is not very wealthy. Their weapons are mainly bows, arrows and knives. The knives were seized from the grass fields. The bows and arrows are mainly homemade, using poplar and mulberry wood as the main materials. Only the arrowheads are made of iron, which are very light and have a long range.
Not far away, but I have been hunting with bows and arrows all year round. I have quick shots, and my equestrian skills are excellent. I can come and go like the wind. I can rush up and kill him at close range.
Qin Huaidao asked about the terrain again, took out paper and charcoal and sketched out the general appearance, and asked the soldiers to confirm that it was correct before leaving, looking at the map and thinking deeply.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Not long after, Luo Chu came over and sat down next to him. He was a little surprised when he saw the lifelike map: "Did you draw it? Where is this place?"
"Fifty miles to the east, there is a begging tribe."
Luo Tong looked at the map and said: "The terrain is flat, and the river passes through the middle, dividing the tribe into two. I don't know the width and depth of the river. Can the war horses directly cross it? If so, the Turks can support them at any time.
, you want to attack here without being blocked by the river?"
"There are about five thousand people. This tribe must have many slaves captured by the Tang Dynasty. They must be rescued. Tell me what you think." Qin Huaidao did not hide his thoughts.
Luo Tong looked at the map carefully without saying a word, pondered for a moment, pointed to one of the locations and said: "Is this a mountain ridge? The terrain is relatively high, and the team can use the cover of night to lurk behind this mountain ridge without anyone noticing, and then suddenly
Launch an attack and arrange for people to set fire to create panic, and we should be able to defeat it in one fell swoop."
"There are two risks in doing this. First, being exposed in advance means a frontal blockade, just like the attack on this small tribe just now, but there are many people in the begging tribe. Once a blockade is fought, the probability of losing is very high; secondly,
Second, even if we successfully rush in, we will still be entangled. After all, they have about 5,000 soldiers, and they are from their own tribe. They will definitely resist desperately. By then, we will suffer a lot of damage, and the victory will be a miserable victory, which is not advisable."
Luo Tong did not deny it and was silent in thought.
Not long after, Li Yixie and Luo Ying also came over. Everyone sat around and discussed tactics. However, they were both brave generals who advocated offense and liked to fight hard and could not come up with a brilliant plan.
Qin Huaidao had no choice but to make a decisive decision. He put the map on the ground, pointed to the bend of the river and said: "The terrain here is open, which is not conducive to ambushes, and it is easy for people to relax their vigilance. However, the reeds along the river are very high, so troops can be hidden."
"What do you mean?" Luo Tong asked in surprise.
"The enemy has too many troops. We can't attack hard, we can only outwit them. Brother Luo, you lead a regiment and choose good horses from this tribe to travel. Set off at the right time. Move slowly and try not to make a sound. I will ask the Guards Battalion to mobilize two
A small team will help you clear the way, capture the sentries along the way, quietly arrive at the mountain ridge, take a short rest and then launch a sudden attack, rush down as fast as possible, set fire to create chaos, kill the enemy, and quickly retreat after the enemy reacts.
Run in two directions, one towards the mountain ridge and the other along the river, forcing the enemy to divide his troops." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Luo Tong.
Luo Tong was thinking about the battle plan and said: "There are more than a thousand people in one regiment, but after the troops are divided, there are only a few hundred people in each group. They look easy to bully. As long as you set off enough fire and kill them hard enough to completely anger them,
We will definitely divide our forces to pursue them, but we may not be able to escape."
"How many people do you think the enemy will send to pursue?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"At least half. After all, we take the initiative to attack in a sneak attack. They are also afraid of diverting the tiger from the mountain and will leave troops to guard the tribe. There are more than 2,000 people chasing us and more than 1,000 people. Even if we divide the troops, the opponent has more than 1,000 troops on each side. The strength is doubled, and the chance of victory is
Not big." Luo Tong reminded.
Qin Huaidao nodded in agreement, pointed in the direction of the mountain ridge and said: "Once the enemy divides his troops, rush all the way to the mountain ridge and then divide his troops into two groups again. Run farther away with the enemy. If the enemy is chasing closely, he will divide his troops again and use the team as the combat unit. See
Whether the enemy pursues them or not, if they pursue them, they will have to divide their forces. In this way, the strength advantage will be diluted again. Each team only needs to face a hundred people. If they can beat them, they will fight. If they can't, they will run away and lead the enemy in circles.
