Chapter 22 The Battle of Qiang 5
The tents of the Qiang people ignited a raging fire. Jia Rong took the soldiers to kill the Qiang army that was fighting with Dong Zhuo's army.
At the same time, the Qiang soldiers who were fighting with Dong Zhuojun suddenly saw the camp tent igniting a fire, and then heard bursts of shouts from the camp, and their hearts were shaken.
The leader of the Qiang people also heard the sound from the camp. He knew that this must be a trick of the Han people, so he ordered every messenger around him to convey to the Qiang soldiers that there was no news of defeat. What he was most afraid of was the wavering of the army's heart.
At this moment, Guo Yan led a thousand Xiliang cavalry to kill the Qiang camp. The sound of horseshoes, war drums, and the sound was amazing. Contacting the shouts from the camp just now, many Qiang soldiers believed that their side had been defeated. They were no longer fighting with their lives as before, but fought back, thinking about how to do it. Be able to protect yourself.
The leaders of the Qiang people saw this situation and tried their best to contain the current situation. Seeing that the soldiers were no longer working as hard as before, the leaders of the Qiang people understood that it was difficult to win today's war.
On the battlefield, the most important thing is the momentum. Just now, in the face of the Qiang soldiers who were still moving forward to the enemy, when they saw the fire in the camp and heard the shouts from the camp, they all retreated to save their lives.
The situation was reversed, and the Qiang soldiers retreated during the festival.
When the leader of Qiang saw such a situation, he knew that it was impossible to do it. When he was preparing to order the soldiers to withdraw their troops, there was a sudden shout of killing from the rear of his own camp.
The shouts of killing in the rear completely defeated the Qiang people's psychological defense line, because they found that they had been surrounded by the enemy.
Hearing the shouts from the rear of the camp, the Qiang soldiers completely believed that they had been defeated. The worst thing was that they were surrounded by the enemy.
The leader of the Qiang people shouted and scolded the Han people for being cunning, while asking the soldiers to withdraw their troops and preparing to retreat.
Jia Rong, who was fighting behind the Qiang people's camp, heard the voice of Qiang people withdrawing their troops, and immediately asked the soldiers to shout in Qiang people's language, "Put put down your weapons, and don't kill the surrender!"
As Jia Rong's soldiers shouted, "Put down your weapons, don't kill the surrender!" Many Qiang soldiers put down their weapons and stopped resisting. In the face of a glimmer of hope, Qiang soldiers were unwilling to resist.
Jia Rong kept collecting the weapons of the surrendered soldiers, and separated some soldiers to guard the surrendered Qiang soldiers, and then led the army to kill in the direction of Dong Zhuo's army.
The Qiang soldiers who were fighting heard the signal of their own withdrawal of troops and were more sure that their side had been defeated. The last hope in their hearts was also completely extinguished, and they were scrambling to retreat. The battlefield was very chaotic. Many Qiang soldiers were hit to the ground by their own soldiers, and then they were trampled by the soldiers who retreated back. Step on and die.
Jia Rong led the soldiers all the way to the direction of Dong Zhuo's army. At the same time, Guo Yan also led the cavalry to kill, and the soldiers were united to chase the Qiang people who were fleeing.
Jia Rong rushed to the middle army where Dong Zhuo was. After the soldiers' information, he was able to see Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Zhuo saw Jia Rong, who was bathed in blood, came, he immediately got off his horse and expressed his cordial condolences to Jia Rong and said, "With the help of Zhiyuan, the Qiang soldiers were defeated so quickly. Zhiyuan is really a blessed general."
After saying that, he kindly patted Jia Rong on the shoulder.
Jia Rong hurriedly saluted and said, "It's all the general's teaching. There is an important thing to report to the general."
Dong Zhuo motioned his soldiers to bring a war horse, and then said while riding on the horse with Jia Rong. Jia Rong saw that Dong Zhuo's body was also covered with blood, and obviously he had just experienced a bloody battle.
Dong Zhuo rode on a slowly walking war horse, looked at Jia Rong and asked, "I don't know what Zhiyuan said?"
Jia Rongqi arched his hand on the war horse and said, "I beg the general to forgive my crime. I urge his soldiers not to kill the surrendered Qiang soldiers, and let the soldiers shout for surrender and not to kill on the battlefield."
After listening to this, Dong Zhuo suddenly frowned. In his heart, Dong Zhuo did not have any good impression on the Qiang people who came to invade. Dong Zhuo himself had a high prestige in the Qiang soldiers, and this group of Qiang soldiers openly provoked Dong Zhuo's authority, which was the most unbearable for Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was about to be angry when a middle-aged scribe came to Dong Zhuo's side and whispered a few words in Dong Zhuo's ear.
Jia Rong, the scribe, had an impression. When he went to see Dong Zhuo that day, the scribe stood behind Dong Zhuo. Because of what the scribe said that day, Jia Rong was very impressed with the scribe.
After listening to the scribe's words, Dong Zhuo immediately said to Jia Rong with a smile, "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 made Dong Zhuo's attitude rotate 180 degrees, which shows that the scribe's status in Dong Zhuo's mind is absolutely not low.
Although he witnessed all this, Jia Rong still didn't know what to do. He said gratefully to Dong Zhuo, "Thank you, general, for your tolerance. There is still one more thing in my humble position. I beg the general to agree."
Seeing that Dong Zhuo nodded and motioned to himself, Jia Rong said, "Please order the general that the soldiers should not kill the surrendered Qiang soldiers."
Under the repeated motions of the scribes next to him, Dong Zhuo said, "Zhiyuan, don't worry, this matter should be."
After saying that, let the soldiers around him pass the order: "To the Qiang soldiers who surrender, don't hurt them, and those who violate it will be cut off!"
Hearing Dong Zhuo convey the military order, Jia Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why Jia Rong hurried to see Dong Zhuo was that Jia Rong saw that on the battlefield, the surrendering Qiang soldiers were constantly killed by the red-eyed Xiliang soldiers, which aroused the resistance of more surrendering Qiang soldiers.
After Jia Rong said goodbye to Dong Zhuo, he rode all the way to the battlefield where the soldiers of Hechi County and Gudao County were located, constantly chasing and killing the fleeing Qiang soldiers.
After Jia Rong set his horse away from Dong Zhuo's army, Dong Zhuo looked at the scribes behind him with a gloomy face and said, "Li Ru, what do you mean?"
The scribe said unhurryly, "The general is angry. I don't know whether the general wants to win the war at the least cost, or to fight with the Qiang people to the death?"
After listening to the scribe's words, Dong Zhuo showed puzzled eyes.
Seeing Dong Zhuo's confusion, the scribe continued to say, "I think Jia Rong's plan is very good. General, if you give the Qiang soldiers who are fleeing a glimmer of hope for survival on the battlefield, will the Qiang people still resist to death? When we fully win, those Qiang people who surrender will not be left to the general. And we will also win the greatest victory with the smallest loss. Why not do it!"
When Dong Zhuo heard the explanation of the scribe, he stroked his palm and laughed, "The words of the virtuous son-in-law are very reasonable. I blame you."
Li Ru smiled and didn't pay attention to it. He still knows Dong Zhuo very well. As long as what you say is reasonable, he will listen. After a moment of meditation, Li Ru continued to say, "I think Jia Rong is a very human being. His plan can instantly disintegrate Qiang'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 the blessing of our Xiliang Army to be a wise and brave person like Jia Rong."
Li Ru smiled and said nothing, but the name Jia Rong was remembered in his heart. Such a person would not be in the pool in the future.
The Xiliang army chased and killed the fleeing Qiang soldiers for more than ten miles, and the big pursuit was over.
In this battle, Qiang people were killed and injured countless times, and only about a thousand soldiers escaped. It is 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 had surrendered, which is more than half of all Qiang soldiers who surrendered; more than 1,200 soldiers brought and lost more than 200 people.
The news of victory came from the battlefield. The soldiers cheered indulgently on the battlefield, were happy for the victory, and were also excited that they could survive in this war. There were also many soldiers who cried, called for their friends, and grieved for their dead companions.
Looking at the battlefield intertwined with cries and cheers of victory, Jia Rong couldn't help mourning for the robe that died on the battlefield. Although after two battles, Jia Rong had been numb to the battlefield, it was very uncomfortable to think that the smiling faces of the past had left him.
After cleaning up the battlefield, all the Xiliang soldiers returned to Gaoping City.
Seeing the city of Gaoping City again and looking at the soldiers behind him, Jia Rong sighed for a while. When he went, he led more than 3,000 soldiers, but when he came back, there were only more than 1,500 people, including those seriously injured soldiers.
Once the success is dead, the famous general in history is not piled up by the soldiers.
When thinking about being in Lijiacun, he was ambitious to lead this group of teenagers to the battlefield to win fame. Now Lijiacun's young soldiers have been killed and injured in two battles. Jia Rong is ashamed and blamed himself.
Looking back at Li Li, Li Hu and Li Shun, who followed him, Jia Rong secretly told himself in the bottom of his heart that he must bring them back to Li Village safely.
As soon as the army returned to Gaoping City and settled down, soldiers came to inform all the leaders to gather in Dong Zhuo's middle barracks.
When he came to Dong Zhuo's camp, Jia Rong found that many county leaders had arrived. Unlike the past, there were many new faces this time.
After waiting for everyone to arrive, Dong Zhuo stood up from the handsome seat and laughed and said, "In this battle, the Qiang people who fought suffered heavy losses. The Qiang people also rolled back to their hometown. You have worked hard. I have ordered the family to prepare good meals, and the three armies will congratulate each other. At that time, everyone will not be drunk."
The generals all claim to be yes.
"The principle of my general's behavior has always been that meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and if there is a punishment, I believe everyone here knows this." Dong Zhuo turned his tone and continued to say.
