Chapter 1889 Determine the general trend, the end of the battle
Xiao Tang knew that for him, this battle was able to almost eliminate the hostile forces with a large number of more than 100,000 cavalry, and basically control the casualties of his own troops to a minimum. The brothers who had gathered together at the beginning were safe and sound.
Everyone was able to save their lives, which was undoubtedly a great victory that he was happy to see. However, for the small families of the Tatar tribe whose lives were no longer guaranteed, this nightmare became more and more serious.
Bloody and horrific.
The elite soldiers of the Qi army continued to attack and kill the Tata tribe, old women and children who were huddled in fear and fear around the chariots.
Chop them up and kill them on the spot, and for those tribesmen and young people who have no fighting power at all, they have also assigned teams of soldiers to surround them with weapons and threaten them, teaching them not to act rashly. This has been very restrained, except in the
Collateral killings are unavoidable in the fierce battles, and there are almost no indiscriminate killings of unarmed people. On the other hand, those Qiyan and other Mengwu Shiwei tribes who followed each other like hungry wolves mostly took advantage of the situation to assist in the attack.
The man had already become red-eyed, cold-blooded and cruel, and the ground he passed was covered with blood and corpses were everywhere...
The battle to encircle and annihilate the Tata'er tribe was gradually coming to an end, and the screams and shouts of the fierce fighting began to subside, but the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood. There were mutilated remains of bloody limbs and dying people everywhere.
The defeated soldiers were crawling on the ground struggling and squirming. There were also many horses that had lost their owners and were wandering around on the grassland, neighing from time to time. Then some sergeants went to collect the ownerless horses. Whenever they encountered wounded horses on the battlefield, they were still gasping for breath.
If the enemy is heavy, he will go forward and kill a chicken to make up for it.
There were corpses everywhere in the vast wilderness. According to the rules on the grassland, Qiyan and other Mengwu Shiwei tribes pounced on the Tatar tribesmen who had no fighting power, and killed all those who were higher than Cheju.
The remaining men, women, old and young were divided up and captured as slaves on a first-come, first-served basis. However, the Tatar tribesmen who were restrained by the troops and horses of the Qi Dynasty included both men and women, old and young, and
The fierce spirit of the grassland people has almost disappeared. Those people look like they are all in ragged clothes and facing a lot of food. Not only do they look like a large number of refugees, but most of their faces are either frightened or numb, and they seem to have no intention of doing anything.
Accept the fate you are about to face.
The weak prey on the strong. As long as there are rival tribes on the grassland that fight against each other, the losing side will inevitably have to deal with the misfortune brought about by defeat. This has long been accustomed to the remaining Tatar tribesmen. The war is gradually coming to an end.
, sent orders to teach the soldiers to clean the battlefield, collect military supplies, and turn over piles of corpses on the large grasslands that had been dyed red. After searching for Brother Paoze who was seriously injured but still alive and rescuing him, Xiao Tang also joined the crowd.
Surrounded by the soldiers accompanying him, he also went to take a look at the group of Tatar prisoners who were restrained by guards.
"As long as the Tatar tribe can still shoot the bow and ride the horse, if they can still gather in one place, they still need to continue to look for their traces, especially to find out and look at the desert.
What other tribes in the world will take them in..."
Xiao Tang whispered in a low voice, and then looked around at the old, weak, women and children of the Tatar Tribe who were curled up in a large group of hedgehogs in front of him, like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. He secretly said in his heart that as long as the state of war is still in place, he can't have meaningless thoughts. But if the state of war ends, then showing mercy as appropriate is actually a necessary move to speed up the integration and obedience of all tribes on the grassland.
After all, according to the official history, Temujin's method of dealing with the Tatar tribe was even more ruthless and cruel, and in the process of conquering other Mongol tribes, he was definitely not gentle and kind. But when he unified the Mongolian tribes The combination of kindness and power, not only kindness and gentleness, but also not blind bloody conquest, made all the tribesmen of Mengwu Shiwei come under his rule, and finally formed the main body of the Mongolian nation. Now it is Xiao Tang, who knows what to do The degree to which you should use both kindness and power, and use soft and hard means, you have to weigh clearly based on the current situation...
Xiao Tang thought in his mind, and then raised his voice and issued an order: "These people captured by the Tata'er tribe, as long as they are captured by the Mengwu Shiwei tribe, will be distributed and disposed of according to their rules. But these are not allowed to do anything by themselves. Our army is looking at the restrained tribesmen and has spread the word. Although I will send people to break up their tribes and relocate them to various places, and select the strong men among them to pay for labor, I can still divide them according to the establishment of each household. The family members gathered together, not as slaves in the desert, but as herding, hunting, or farming, etc., and were properly arranged by the chief officials. Although the Tata tribe no longer exists, the remaining people are willing to rule for me. For those who are good citizens, the government office will also arrange their livelihoods, and they will no longer be oppressed and plundered by other tribes of the Mengwu Shiwei."
When Duan Jingzhu next to him saw this, he immediately bowed to accept the order, and urged his horse to rush to the front of the array of Qi Dynasty soldiers holding blades and bows who were controlling a large number of captive people. The Tatar tribesmen huddled together and declared the decree issued by Xiao Tang.
The Tata tribesmen, who mostly had dull expressions, listened blankly, and some of them immediately showed expressions of surprise and surprise on their faces. After another commotion of whispering, some tribesmen suddenly knelt down on the ground and said to them. Xiao Tang knelt down and worshiped. Soon, more and more people around him were infected, either supporting each other, or carrying their children and girls to worship Xiao Tang. Looking around, there were already people on the vast grassland. There were all the captured tribesmen kneeling in obeisance, and they were all mumbling words. Xiao Tang had interacted a lot with other leaders of the Mongolian Ushiwei tribe in these days, although he still could not fully understand those Tata who were kneeling before him. It doesn't matter what the tribesmen said, but you can generally hear the meaning of praise and gratitude.
After all, the ideology of survival of the fittest among the loosely opposed tribes in the grasslands is completely different from the concept of integrity preached by the Central Plains of preferring death to humiliation and surrender. These defeated Tatar tribesmen are already prepared Accepting the fate of oneself and one's family being cooked as fish and meat on a plate, as pigs and sheep being slaughtered, but as long as one can teach oneself and one's loved ones to live a good life, who will not feel the joy and luck of surviving the disaster?
The sound of praise from the mountains and the sea echoed through the night, echoing on the grassland where the blood and gunpowder smoke had not yet dissipated. Originally, there were several Mongolian tribes, Wei Zheng, riding horses to report their merits to Xiao Tang, and the tribal leaders came forward. When they came to see such a huge scene in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned. When they looked at Xiao Tang again, the expressions on each person's face were either awe, admiration, or had other profound meanings, which seemed very complicated. , a flash of helplessness and admiration flashed in his eyes. When he saw Xiao Tang looking towards him, the leaders of the Mengwu Shiwei tribe couldn't help but get off their horses, and they were like the large number of people from the Tata tribe around them. Bowing and bowing respectfully.
Xiao Tang rode his horse and looked around at the large crowd of people who were shouting in his direction. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and then issued a loud order: "In addition to everyone being ordered to clean the battlefield, clean up the remains of the fallen soldiers, and search for the enemy."
In addition to the remaining troops and horses, he ordered the army to send back all the captured money, silk and food, and escorted the captured Tatar tribe's civilian troops back, and then invited all the leaders of the Mongol and Wei tribes to meet at Linhuang Mansion to celebrate.
