===========
The first one is Zhao Bao.
"&*#&!" Zhao Bao shouted.
Zheng Lang didn't know what he was calling. I guess some Jurchens didn't know what he was calling. After all, these Jurchens did not come from the same tribe. Some came from the lower reaches of Huntong River, some came from the middle reaches of Huntong River, and some came from Xingkai Lake.
Before he could finish his shout, a head flew up.
Another loud shout, and when the second head flew, more Jurchens had already fought with the enemy.
In the blink of an eye, under the leadership of Wang Zhi and Guo Kui, two sharp arrows quickly penetrated into the rebel army coming from the mountains.
People were constantly being picked up, and tragic sounds were constantly coming out.
After a while, it will be embedded in the middle of the enemy's camp.
More than 700 fierce foreign soldiers were like more than 700 tigers, and the rebel army immediately stopped in fear.
Jingtailema stood beside Zheng Lang and said, "What a powerful army."
In terms of force, there were many generals among the Song Dynasty generals, such as Wang Gui, Guo Zun, Zhang Ji, and Di Qing, who all had the courage to be unstoppable, but it did not represent the overall strength of the Song army.
Look at the current foreign soldiers, almost all of them are like lions. Such a powerful army has never been seen even though Jingtai has been in the northwest for several years.
Zheng Lang is also watching.
There must be fierceness, and riding skills are also one aspect. In terms of riding skills, these Qiang people are not weak, but they are far less fierce than these Jurchen soldiers. Perhaps due to the backwardness of civilization, these soldiers have a ferocious intuition like beasts. They fight almost with instinct. Whenever weapons attack, they calmly avoid it.
He can escape the enemy's slashing, has a fierce personality and strong strength. He almost cut off his sword. One enemy was cut off from his horse. This is the case with one person, and more than seven hundred people, which looks even more shocking.
But man is not God, but also has deaths and injuries.
If organized properly, it is not invincible.
Zheng Lang estimated that his combat effectiveness may be close to that of soldiers at the peak of the Tang Dynasty.
But overall, they are also Japanese swords. Once the ** falls, the Song army can defeat it, and the Mongols can defeat it even more.
This is what I think, but think about it, if there were tens of thousands of cavalry like this, what kind of army could it use to resist?
Not only was Jingtai shocked, but Zheng Lang personally commanded the Song army in Wulongchuan, the Song army was extremely powerful. Although they were facing the elite Xixia army under Yeli Wangrong's troops, the word "that is so powerful and unstoppable" cannot be described.
Compared with the two, Zheng Lang was also shocked.
The Jurchen? Zheng Lang murmured in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to look northeast. Not only were there Jurchens, but also Mongolians, the poor Song Dynasty!
Although there are few people, just a charge will block the enemy's rush.
Jingtai is eager to try.
Zheng Lang knew it was time and said, "General Jing, take people to surround him from both sides."
"Here."
Jingtai divided more than a thousand people into two parts and surrounded them from left to right.
If you win a battle, you will fight. A thousand Song troops screamed and rushed over.
Before we got closer, a few Qiang people began to pluck their horses and escape.
Originally, some of the captives were ready to move, but when they saw this scene, they all became quiet and silent.
Liu Hu felt bad and said, "This cavalry is so powerful."
"General Liu, I don't know how powerful they are, but Hangzhou set up mines in the Wanu State. From our dynasty, we led our army to guard the two mines. There were few people, afraid that we would not have the strength to defend the two mines. The number was large, so the court could not afford it. It happened that the Jurchens were very strong, but there were many divisions, and there were many prisoners of war. The land was cold and poor, so we tentatively sent people to exchange for prisoners with them, trained in the mines, and used them to increase the safety of the two mines. Later, the war in the northwest began. After I returned from Yanzhou, I thought of these people, not only were they fierce, but also proficient in cavalry. It happened that our dynasty lacked cavalry and sent people to bring them to the northwest with great difficulty."
“It’s a pity that there are too few.”
"Many, the land is cold and sparsely populated. Even if we don't care about supplies, we can't replace thousands of people. And if we exchange it too much, even if we are far away from the Khitan, the Khitans do not pay attention to the land, and they will inevitably be alarmed. If the Khitans are disgusted, and the invasion will be invaded at this time, our dynasty will be attacked, and the national disaster will come!"
"Yes, there's also Khitan."
"It doesn't matter." Zheng Lang said.
At this time, the Khitan was not the Khitan at that time. When the Khitan was powerful, it was in the era of Empress Dowager Xiao. When Empress Dowager Xiao died, she actually began to decline in the hands of the Emperor Shengzong of Liao.
Moreover, there were many problems with the Khitan itself. The Jurchens and the Bu tribes rebelled and reconciled, seriously dragging down the pace of Khitan expansion. Until the time of failure, the Khitans dared not invade the Song Dynasty.
Liao Xingzong didn't have that long-term vision either.
Suddenly, smoke and dust rose up in the south again. Zheng Lang asked the scout to observe, but this time it was not the enemy, but Zhao Xun brought hundreds of cavalry back to rescue.
He was marching and heard someone report behind him that the enemy attacked Liu Hu's rear army, and Zheng Lang was among the rear army, hurriedly brought hundreds of cavalry back to rescue. But when he brought people back to the battlefield, the Qiang soldiers had already begun to be defeated.
Without Jingtai's 1,000 troops killed by Jingtai, they would be defeated, but they would persevere for a while.
Zhao Xun looked at it and did not go directly to the battlefield. He led the army and raked through a small river valley in the south and penetrated straight to the enemy's rear.
The Qiang soldiers who had already lost their power, and they had to conquer the way out. All the Qiang soldiers who had not had time to escape from the encirclement dismounted and surrendered.
But at this time, the Jurchens' eyes were red and they were still raising their swords to kill. Wang Zhi and Guo Kui shouted several times before stopping.
Zhao Bao and Zhao Zhong and the other two came to seek credit with a large number of heads.
Fortunately, after the Wulongchuan Battle, Zheng Lang would have vomited again. He forced himself to endure the vomiting feeling and said, "Just just now, Instructor Wang and Instructor Guo asked you to stop, why didn't you stop? Each person remembered one less credit for the head."
Zhao Bao screamed in an anxious voice, and then lay on the ground to admit his mistake.
If you want to be promoted, make money and enjoy happiness, you will have to take your family over to enjoy happiness. You will have to make a contribution. If you have to make a contribution, you will have to be the leader and you must not miss it.
Zheng Lang didn't really deduct the credit for them. After all, it was the first battle, so he defeated the credit for them. He would be inadequate in the future. This was a lesson for them. He was angry and said after a while: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to correct your mistakes. If you commit it again next time, you will deduct double the credit."
"Here." Zhao Bao pounded his chest excitedly.
The prisoners were taken over one after another. More than 2,000 people were attacked this time, but after the slaughter just now, nearly 1,000 people were killed by the Jurchens. Poor, the Song army brought by Jingtai did not get much soup, so they were defeated. In addition to a few people who escaped, seven or eight hundred others were captured. Many horses were also obtained in this battle.
Zhao Xun also rode over, and Zheng Lang said, "General Zhao, continue to wipe out the enemy, and leave it to me."
Zhao Xun hesitated.
"After this battle, even if there are rebel troops in the rear, there will not be many troops. Go and you can't delay the fighter plane."
Zhao Xun left now. He just heard that an enemy had launched an attack from the rear. He stood on the hill and looked at it, but saw with his own eyes the combat effectiveness of these Jurchens. With this army in the army, even if there were enemies coming, most of them would come to die.
Liu Hu was surprised, and he was also surprised. When he left, he turned his head and looked at the group of killing gods with a suspicious look.
The army continued to move south.
This time it became much smoother, especially the fierceness of these Jurchens, who turned into a demon in the mouths of deserters.
It was a painful lesson, and these tribes never dared to underestimate the Song army. When the army arrived, they either fled or surrendered. There was no point in fighting. Zheng Lang stationed his army in the south of Muningchuan, sent a cavalry to inform all the tribes participating in the war, sent the leaders of the tribe to come to the central army for negotiations, and then took the prisoners back. If they did not obey the order, the clan would be destroyed.
The next day, the leaders of all races came to the Central Army camp in fear.
Zheng Lang looked at the nearly 100 leaders and shouted: "Our army came just to wipe out Mawu and the Party's two troops. Why do you want to join the war?"
They fell down one by one, sweating tucked over their backs, and some leaders begged for mercy.
"Will you still rebel in the future?"
"The young ones dare not."
"You make a bloody oath."
The most poisonous oath of the Dangxiang people is the Blood Oath. These races may not be Dangxiang people, and it is impossible to tell which race they are, but they also attach great importance to the Blood Oath.
All of them were cut through their fingers with a knife, put them in a wine bowl, and made a poisonous oath, never rebel against the Song Dynasty, otherwise the heavens would be punished by the earth, and the clans would be destroyed, and their descendants would not die well, and then they would tilt their necks to drink bloody wine.
Zheng Lang asked the soldiers to carve out mountain stones, and tied their oaths, tribe names, and the names of each leader into a tall stone tablet, and stood on the banks of Wating River.
It was very strict at first, but after making the oath, Zheng Lang's attitude became relaxed.
They were asked to take back prisoners of war unconditionally, and the sheep captured the most of the livestock. In addition to leaving a group of people to reward the three armies, the rest were all repaid, and a few cattle were also returned. A group of war horses were picked up, leaving two thousand war horses. It was useless if there were too many. Unless other soldiers were supported, the others were returned to these tribes.
Wang Zhi was very puzzled and asked: "Why should people be given back, why should animals be given to them?"
"They are all tribes in our territory. They cannot be regarded as enemies. Even the enemies must be based on benevolence and righteousness. War is a means, a continuation of politics, and a kind of righteousness. After shock, they must be governed. What is the use of greed for these livestock? These tribes lose their livestock, lack clothing, and become poorer. Even if they swear, they may not be able to surrender sincerely. What I want is surrender, not a brutal extermination."
Liu Hu said: "Mr. Zheng, this is a good word."
Moreover, the killing was fierce enough this time, and the killing of thousands of Qiang people was severely destroyed, and it was meaningless to continue killing them. Unless they were really allowed to destroy the clan, the harsh and brutal policies of the Song army would not only not have a positive effect, but also cause other races to have bad ideas.
Zheng Lang said again: "Take a note of the soldiers' merits and use cloth instead of livestock rewards."
But the effect was also achieved. Most leaders did not expect it to fall down again and cried bitterly, indicating that they would change their past mistakes.
There were some tribes who still gave up, but not many of them. Zheng Lang once again comforted him and asked them to retreat with their captives and livestock.
After Zheng Lang waited for them to leave, he called Chang Mingde and said, "Jun Chang Lang, you can go to Kangu City."
"Here." Chang Mingde said readily.
This battle almost all tribes loyal to the blind felt in Shundezhou, the northwest corner of Weizhou and the northeast corner of Qinzhou. He went to lobby and added several confidences.
In order to cooperate with his persuasion to surrender, Zheng Lang continued to take the army out of Mu Ningchuan and set out into Huizhou.
If you don't move quickly, you will do your best.
After leaving the Shunde military territory, some villages and villages revolt one after another. Every time Zheng Lang asked the Song army to cover with bows and arrows, and then asked Guo Kui and Wang Zhi to lead the Jurchens as vanguards and storm various villages.
