(Small battles have no process, only results. This has been the case in the past, and it will be the same in the future. Those who insist on reading a book without missing any details will express their opinions. In the future, I will add three more chapters to cheat on the word count o(n_n)o~)
…
After the Mei family claimed to be King Goujian of Yue, they belonged to the more civilized Yangyue. Unlike Nanyue and Xiou, they had begun to build towns and live there. The center of the entire tribe was a small town called "Mei'an City", which was located in Between Shaoshi Mountain and Beijiang.
This is a remarkable Danxia landform, with occasionally beautiful peaks and ridges, some towering more than a hundred feet tall, or looking like animals, lying in the thick dense forest in summer. After walking along the winding stream for a long time, you can reach a small flat dam and the edge of the rice field. , which is Meiyuan City.
This city was once taken away by the Qin army. After their defeat last year, the Mei family recaptured it and recruited many deserters from the Chu region to join them. They also moved rocks and rammed the earth to expand the city to a circle that could accommodate 2,000 people. Compared with the Yue people's small village, it can be called a majestic city.
But compared to most of the famous cities in the Central Plains, they are still very crude and full of flaws, so it is not difficult to break through them.
Especially if there is an internal response!
In the evening, the battle that lasted for most of the day ended. The corpses were piled up outside the city, almost like a hill, and the prisoners were tied to the ground.
It was also Mei Yi who wanted to increase his strength and attracted the Qin army's deserters to cause trouble. Originally, when Yue people met, they would know right away at the first glance. But now, the Mei family has been mixed with barbarians and Xia, and there are at least a thousand deserters from the Qin army. It is Zha. Whether one's hair is bunned or cut off has become a sign of distinguishing between friend and foe.
This time, Heifu first sent Li Cang with more than a hundred short-term guards to pretend to surrender. Seeing that he had long hair and spoke with a Chu accent, Mei Hao did not become suspicious because the Central Plains people attach great importance to their hair. , but those who cut off their buns are mostly determined to defect.
Little did he know that there was already an additional "Kun Army" in the newly arrived Southern Expedition General's camp.
A few days later, nearly 20,000 Qin troops from Huangxi Pass, Hengpuguan, and Changsha County raided the Mei family's territory from three directions. This advance was planned by Heifu for a long time. No matter where the Yue people came from, When they fled, they would encounter the Qin army, and the surrounding villages fell one after another, and finally surrounded Meiyuan City.
Mei Rong has not yet recovered from this menacing blow. A few days ago, he had been grateful to him for the hundred new soldiers, but he started killing people and setting fires in the city. Under the coordination of internal and external measures, it only took a moment. , the city fell.
The short soldiers used machetes to clear the way and removed the branches and shrubs in front. Heifu could ride his white mule calmly all the way. After arriving at Mei'an City, he glanced at the terrain here and asked about the casualties, especially as a vanguard. The eight hundred "pawns".
"How many of the eight hundred people are left?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, they risked their lives to charge and captured the city first. The casualties were considerable, and there are still five hundred left."
Heifu nodded and listened to the military judge say that although these 800 people were either sick or injured, they were indeed very brave in fighting.
He was also very trustworthy: "Restore the status of these eight hundred people as soldiers. The dead will be buried properly, and the living will be rewarded according to their beheadings. If they are willing, they can join my short-term personal guard!"
Compared with the casualties, the gains in this battle were somewhat small. No more than 500 were beheaded and 2,000 were captured, mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. Mei's main force fled into the forest before the three armies closed the encirclement.
But what is surprising is that the enemy chieftain Mei Yi resolutely broke off and was unable to escape. He was forced into the city and was captured alive.
"If you don't leave first when you break out of the siege, a good commander...bring him up!"
As a general, Heifu made a great display, with more than a hundred short soldiers on the left and right wearing armors, and the strong men were given golden axes to hold. He had a crank umbrella to protect him from the sun, and feathers on the front and back were in full swing.
However, Li Cang and several others retreated in succession, escorting a Yue man to come and pinned him down in front of Hei Fu.
But he saw that this man was very young, only in his twenties, with disheveled hair, black lines under his chin, and an ivory hairpin across the bridge of his nose. This was a Yangyue custom. Hei Fu was terrified when he saw it.
…
He is dressed in a typical Yue style, but he is wearing the armor of a captain of the Qin army, which was probably captured in the past.
"Is this Mei Yi?"
Heifu asked and received a positive answer, but Mei Ao was dissatisfied and pursed his lips without saying a word.
"Can he understand Xia Yan?"
"Junhou, he understands."
Li Cang pushed Mei Yi: "The Marquis of Changnan is asking you something!"
Mei Rong glared at Li Cang, hating this villain who pretended to surrender, and then he spoke. He spoke in Yuzhang dialect, and his pronunciation was quite clear. He probably learned it from his mother who came from Yuzhang: "Changnan
Hou...you are the prince of Qin and the new general?"
"I am."
Heifu said: "You rebelled against the Qin Dynasty and blocked the Beijiang Road. You caused trouble for a long time. You are captured today. What else can you say?"
Mei Wei's eyes widened: "This is where my tribe has lived for generations, and I have promised to give way to you. You are rude, slaughtering my tribe members, taking them as slaves, insulting my ancestral spirit, and invading my land. Mei Wei
If you can't bear it anymore and fight back, can this be called rebellion?"
"That's the past."
Heifu knocked on the scabbard and said: "Jia He did something wrong. Now I have beheaded him. I came here to recruit the Mei family again. I heard that the Mei family has 6,000 soldiers. Now that the city has been destroyed, we can only capture
The old, weak, sick and disabled are here, are you willing to let them come out of the woods and surrender to our army?"
"Let them walk out and die?"
Mei Xuan shook his head: "I am the leader of the Mei clan. I will not let my clan members sacrifice their lives just to save my own life. If you want to kill me, I will kill you."
"So, you still refuse to surrender?"
Mei Wei stared at Heifu's bun-cut hair and sneered: "I don't accept it. As a general, you actually used such deception. Doesn't it mean that the people of Qin regard bun hair as an honor? Since you will abandon honor.
, how can I obey you?"
Hei Fu held up his palm and said: "Okay, this way, I won't use any tricks, and you won't run into the forest to avoid the battle. Don't try to cheat on either side. Then assemble the army and horses to fight the male and female together. You send people to call out all the tribesmen in the forest.
How about coming out and facing off against three thousand of our troops outside the city?"
When it comes to formation battles, how can the scattered Yue people be the opponent of the Qin army? Mei Rong knew that Hei Fu was trying to provoke him with words, so he immediately kept silent to avoid being fooled.
"This won't work, and that won't work either."
Heifu showed a joking smile: "Do I have to put you back and have you captured and raped seven times before you are willing to accept it?"
Mei Yi was a little stunned and didn't understand at all. Hei Fu stopped talking to him and waved his hand:
"Take him down and lock him up first. He is such a good leader. He will not betray his own people. But I wonder if your people are equally loyal. If they see that you are about to be executed, will they rush out of the forest to save you?"
"you!"
This was to use him as bait on the fishhook. Mei Hao's eyes bulged and he was furious. After being dragged a few steps away, he shouted:
"You black-faced man, if you want me to surrender, just hold swords and compete with each other without even wearing an inch of armor! If you can defeat me, I will surrender!"
Sword fighting is an ancient custom of the Yue people. In the land of Wu and Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, almost everyone carried a sword. If they disagreed, the two blades would intersect and fight to the death. The Mei family, like Dong Ou and Min Yue, all claimed to be
After the king of Yue, this custom also existed.
It is said that the same is true in Jiangdong. Historically, Xiang Yu, who grew up in Kuaiji, once challenged Liu Bang to a duel...
King against king, general against general, sounds fair, but if you think about it carefully, it's not shameful for a strong young man under thirty to fight against a frail old man in his fifties!
In the Central Plains, there is no such romance. Those who survive to the end are all old men.
Hei Fu and Lao Liu had the same reaction, laughing as if they had heard a joke:
"The Qin Dynasty is different from the Yue Dynasty. The laws and regulations say that those who behead the officials will be moved. If the officials are like this, what's more, as a prince, I can only fight with your wits, not your strength."
Li Cang and others also sneered: "Of course, the general's rich body, how can he fight with you, a barbarian?"
Mei Yi couldn't stand the challenge. After being dragged down, his voice echoed in the distance:
"Are there no warriors in the Qin army?"
"Young barbarians dare to speak nonsense here. Who said there are no warriors in the Qin army! Are you so blind that you didn't see Naigong?"
A loud shout rang out, and someone strode in from outside the city. He was a great man eight feet tall. Even though he was a "Sima of another department", he still had a pair of halberds on his waist, a beard all over his face, and a red birthmark on his face. When he was angry,
, more and more obvious!
When Li Cang saw this person, his legs immediately trembled and he stepped aside.
The big man saw no one else in his eyes, so he walked forward, knelt on one knee in front of Hei Fu, and said loudly:
"Ting chief, let Ah Bao kill this rude piggy for you!"
