Chapter Twenty-Two: The Battle of the Qiang People Five
Each Qiang camp was set on fire, and Jia Rong led his soldiers to kill the Qiang army that was fighting Dong Zhuo's army.
At the same time, the Qiang soldiers who were fighting Dong Zhuo's army suddenly saw a fire burning in the camp, and then heard bursts of shouting from the camp, and their hearts were shaken.
The leader of the Qiang people also heard the noise coming from the camp. He knew that this must be a trick of the Han people, so he ordered every messenger around him to convey the news that the Qiang soldiers had not been defeated. The most feared thing before the battle was that the morale of the soldiers was shaken.
.
At this moment, Guo Bin led a thousand Xiliang cavalry towards the Qiang camp. The sound of horse hooves and war drums was astonishing. Combined with the shouts from the camp just now, many Qiang soldiers
They all believed that their side had been defeated, so they no longer fought as hard as before, but instead fought and retreated, thinking about how to protect themselves.
Seeing this situation, the leader of the Qiang people tried his best to contain the current situation; seeing that the soldiers no longer worked hard to move forward as before, the leader of the Qiang people understood that it would be difficult to win today's war.
On the battlefield, the most important thing is momentum. The Qiang soldiers who had just been facing the enemy and marching forward unyieldingly, when they saw the fire in the camp and heard the shouts from the camp, they all started thinking about how to retreat to save their lives.
The situation was reversed, and the Qiang soldiers retreated steadily.
Seeing this situation, the Qiang leader knew that nothing could be done; just as he was preparing to order the soldiers to withdraw their troops, a shout of killing suddenly came from the rear of his own camp.
The shouts of killing from the rear completely broke the psychological defenses of the Qiang people, because they found themselves surrounded by the enemy.
Hearing the shouts from the rear of the camp again, the Qiang soldiers completely believed that they had been defeated. The worst thing was that they were surrounded by the enemy.
The Qiang leader loudly scolded the Han people for their cunning, and asked the soldiers to withdraw their troops and prepare to retreat.
Jia Rong, who was fighting behind the Qiang camp, heard the sound of the Qiang people shouting gold to withdraw their troops, and immediately asked the soldiers to shout loudly in the Qiang language, "Put down your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
As Jia Rong's soldiers shouted "Put down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed!" Many Qiang soldiers put down their weapons and stopped resisting. Faced with a glimmer of hope for survival, the Qiang soldiers were unwilling to resist.
.
Jia Rong continued to collect the weapons of the surrendered soldiers, and assigned some soldiers to guard the surrendered Qiang soldiers, and then led the army to kill in the direction of Dong Zhuo's army.
When the Qiang soldiers who were fighting heard the signal to withdraw their troops, they were even more sure that their side had been defeated. The last glimmer of hope in their hearts was completely extinguished. They all scrambled to retreat. The battlefield was very chaotic; many soldiers
The Qiang soldiers were knocked to the ground by their own soldiers, and then trampled to death by the retreating soldiers.
Jia Rong led his soldiers to fight all the way to the direction of Dong Zhuo's army. At the same time, Guo Bin also led his cavalry and joined together to pursue the fleeing Qiang people.
Jia Rong rushed to the Chinese army where Dong Zhuo was located, and after being informed by the soldiers, he was able to see Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Zhuo saw Jia Rong, who was covered in blood, he immediately dismounted his horse and cordially expressed condolences to Jia Rong: "With Zhiyuan's help, the Qiang soldiers were defeated so quickly. Zhiyuan is really a blessed general."
After saying that, he patted Jia Rong on the shoulder affectionately.
Jia Rong hurriedly saluted and said: "The general has taught me well. I am here because I have an important matter to report to the general."
Dong Zhuo signaled his soldiers to bring a war horse, and then he and Jia Rong rode on the horse and talked while walking. Jia Rong saw that Dong Zhuo's body was also covered in blood, and he had obviously just experienced a bloody battle.
Dong Zhuo, riding on a slowly walking horse, looked at Jia Rong and asked, "I wonder what the important thing Zhiyuan said?"
Jia Rongqi raised his hands on his horse and said, "I beg you to forgive me, General. I despised my position and made my own decisions by asking my soldiers not to kill the Qiang soldiers who surrendered. I also asked the soldiers on the battlefield to shout the order to surrender without killing."
After Dong Zhuo heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed. In his heart, Dong Zhuo had no good impression of the invading Qiang people. Dong Zhuo himself had a high prestige among the Qiang soldiers, but these Qiang soldiers openly challenged him.
Dong Zhuo's authority was the most intolerable to Dong Zhuo.
Just as Dong Zhuo was about to get angry, a middle-aged scribe came to Dong Zhuo and whispered a few words in Dong Zhuo's ear.
This scribe Jia Rong had an impression. When he went to see Dong Zhuo that day, this scribe was standing behind Dong Zhuo. Because of what the scribe said that day, Jia Rong had a deep impression on this scribe.
After listening to the scribe's words, Dong Zhuo immediately smiled and said to Jia Rong: "Zhiyuan is a meritorious person, how can he be guilty?"
Dong Zhuo's series of changes naturally did not escape Jia Rong's eyes. The scribe's words caused Dong Zhuo's attitude to turn 180 degrees, which shows that the scribe's status in Dong Zhuo's mind was definitely not low.
Although he witnessed all this, Jia Rong still pretended that he didn't know anything, and said gratefully to Dong Zhuo: "Thank you, general, for your tolerance. I still have something to do with my humble position. I beg the general to agree."
Seeing Dong Zhuo nodding to indicate what he said, Jia Rong then said: "Please give an order, general, so that the soldiers will not kill the Qiang soldiers who surrendered."
Under repeated signals from the scribes nearby, Dong Zhuo said: "Zhiyuan, don't worry, this is the right thing to do."
After saying that, he asked the ordering soldiers around him to give the order: "No harm is allowed to the surrendered Qiang soldiers. Anyone who violates them will be killed!"
Hearing Dong Zhuo pass on this military order, Jia Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why Jia Rong hurriedly came to see Dong Zhuo was because Jia Rong saw that on the battlefield, surrendering Qiang soldiers were constantly being killed by red-eyed Xiliang soldiers, which aroused more anger.
The Qiang soldiers resisted many surrenders.
After Jia Rong said goodbye to Dong Zhuo, he rode his war horse all the way to Hechi County and the battlefield where the Gudao County soldiers were, constantly chasing and killing the fleeing Qiang soldiers.
After Jia Rong rode his horse and left Dong Zhuo's army, Dong Zhuo looked at the scribe behind him with a sullen face and said, "Li Ru, what do you mean?"
The scribe said calmly: "General, calm down. I wonder if the general wants to win the war at the lowest cost, or does he want to fight to the death with the Qiang people?"
After hearing what the scribe said, Dong Zhuo looked puzzled.
Seeing Dong Zhuo's confusion, the scribe continued: "I think Jia Rong's plan is very good. General, just imagine, if you give the fleeing Qiang soldiers a glimmer of hope of survival on the battlefield, will the Qiang people still put up a desperate resistance?
"When we are completely victorious, those Qiang people who surrendered will not be left to the generals' disposal, and we will gain the greatest victory with the least loss, so why not!"
After Dong Zhuo heard the scribe's explanation, he put his hands on his hands and laughed and said, "The words of a wise son-in-law are very reasonable. I wrongly blamed you."
Li Ru smiled and didn't take it to heart. He knew Dong Zhuo very well. As long as what you said was reasonable, he would listen. After thinking for a while, Li Ru continued: "I think Jia Rong is a very human being. He came up with this idea."
The strategy can instantly break the Qiang people's determination to resist desperately, this person is not simple."
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "We Xiliang men are all brave and good at fighting. It is a blessing for our Xiliang army to have a man like Jia Rong who is both wise and brave."
Li Ru smiled and said nothing, but the name Jia Rong was remembered in his heart. Such a person will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future.
The Xiliang army pursued the fleeing Qiang soldiers for more than ten miles before the great chase came to an end.
In this battle, the Qiang people suffered numerous casualties, and only about a thousand soldiers escaped, so it was impossible to cause any major disaster.
According to the statistical results of Jia Rongrang's men, there were more than 1,500 Qiang soldiers who were captured and surrendered, which was half of all the Qiang soldiers who surrendered; the more than 1,200 soldiers he brought were lost and another 200 were lost.
The remaining people.
When the news of victory came from the battlefield, the soldiers cheered heartily on the battlefield, happy for the victory, and at the same time excited that they could survive the war; there were also many soldiers who cried and cried to their friends.
Companion, grieve for the dead companion.
Looking at the battlefield where cries and cheers of victory were intertwined, Jia Rong couldn't help but mourn for Pao Ze who died on the battlefield. Although after two battles, Jia Rong was numb to the battlefield, but he thought of the smiling faces of the past.
I left by myself, feeling very uncomfortable in my heart.
After cleaning the battlefield, all Xiliang soldiers returned to Gaoping City.
Seeing the city of Gaoping City again and looking at the soldiers behind him, Jia Rong sighed. He led more than 3,000 active soldiers when he left, but when he came back, there were only more than 1,500 people, including those seriously injured soldiers.
The famous general in history was not made up of the bones of his soldiers.
Thinking about how he ambitiously wanted to lead these young men to the battlefield to gain fame when he was in Lijiacun, now that the young soldiers who had followed him in Lijiacun had suffered 60% casualties in two battles, Jia Rong felt ashamed.
Blame yourself.
Looking back at Li Li, Li Hu, Li Shun and several other teenagers from Lijia Village who were following him, Jia Rong secretly told himself in his heart that he must bring them back to Lijia Village safely.
Just after the army returned to Gaoping City and settled down, soldiers came to notify all the leading troops to assemble at Dong Zhuo's Chinese army camp.
Arriving at Dong Zhuo's camp, Jia Rong found that many leading soldiers from various counties had already arrived. What was different from the past was that this time there were many new faces.
After everyone had arrived, Dong Zhuo stood up from his seat, laughed and said: "In this battle, the Qiang people suffered heavy losses, and the Qiang people also went back to their hometowns. Thank you for your hard work. I have ordered
The kitchen will prepare good food, and the three armies will congratulate each other, so that everyone will not be drunk until the time comes."
All the generals claimed yes.
"My general's principle of action has always been to reward those who have merit and punish those who have transgressed. I believe everyone here is very clear about this." Dong Zhuo changed his tone and continued.
