Liu Min and Gong Zhi fought against Badan, the leader of Xiongxi, which greatly boosted the momentum of the Han army. Coupled with the superiority in numbers and weapons at this time, the barbarians began to show signs of defeat.
"But Badain is very brave, and fighting in the jungle cannot ride horses, which makes it difficult for Liu Min and Gong Zhi to adapt. After more than a dozen rounds, the two of them were exhausted and panting. They could only parry but had no power to fight back.
The general was a brave soldier, and the low momentum of the barbarian soldiers gradually increased again, and the battle was very fierce.
The more Bataan fought, the more brave he became. Liu Min and Gong Zhi were anxious and a little panicked.
The situation was already very unfavorable for them. As a result of this distraction, Gong Zhi lost his grip on the big gun and was knocked out by Badain's broad-backed sword.
Immediately after, Badan turned around, and his head went straight to Gong Zhi's neck.
"Be careful!" Liu Min shouted, swung out his spear, and tried his best to block it.
There was just a "clang" sound. Although Badain's sword was blocked, Liu Min's arms were sore, the tiger's mouth was shattered, and the big gun in his hand flew away.
"Ha" Badan laughed wildly, "Go to hell, you Han army rats!"
Badan raised his sword high and slashed it down diagonally.
Liu Min and Gong Zhi looked at the shining sword and hurriedly stepped aside.
The sword went empty, but the strong wind of the sword made both of them feel burning pain on their faces.
But at this moment, Liu Min¡¯s foot was tripped by a tree root, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
How could Bataan miss this good opportunity? He raised his sword high again and struck it down.
It was too late to dodge, and there was no weapon in his hand to fight. Liu Min secretly screamed, "My life is at stake!" She closed her eyes helplessly.
"General Liu" Gong Zhi screamed, but there was nothing he could do.
"ah¡¡"
Just when both of them were in despair, Badain suddenly screamed. His sword was raised high in the air, but it did not come down.
"this¡¡"
Liu Min and Gong Zhi were surprised to find that an arrow penetrated Badain's heart. There was a piece of meat hanging on the arrowhead, and blood was dripping from it.
"Kill!" At the same time, a cry of killing came from all over the mountains and plains, and then groups of Han troops rushed out. Deng Ai rushed in front, holding a big bow in his hand.
It turned out that Lord Liu Cong¡¯s army had arrived.
"Kill!" Liu Min and Gong Zhi immediately picked up their weapons and rushed towards the barbarian soldiers.
At this time, the barbarian army was leaderless and in a panic. Coupled with the arrival of reinforcements from the Han army, they had an absolute numerical advantage and were suddenly defeated.
After the leaders of the barbarians were beheaded, Liu Cong led an army to appear and surrounded all the barbarians.
"Surrender without killing!" Liu Cong shouted.
"Surrender without killing!"
"Surrender without killing!"
The Han soldiers shouted in unison.
There were still about two thousand barbarian soldiers. After looking at the densely packed Han troops around them, they knew that they could not rush out at all, so they looked at each other, threw away their weapons one after another, and knelt on the ground.
"My lord, my general is going to be unfavorable in the battle, please punish me!" Liu Min and Gong Zhi came to Liu Cong and knelt down to plead guilty.
Although the battle was won, the cost was very high, with the loss of more than a thousand soldiers.
Jingzhou follows the route of elite soldiers, and every soldier is trained with a lot of manpower and financial resources.
"You are not wrong, get up!" Liu Cong waved his hand and looked at the dead and wounded soldiers. Liu Cong's heart was bleeding. It was obvious that he had underestimated the strength of the Wuxi barbarians, "Immediately Treat the wounded and gather the prisoners!¡±
"No!"
This time it was a jungle battle, and he had a lot of military doctors with him. According to Liu Cong's request, no matter whether the injury was minor or serious, as long as it could be treated, no one could be given up.
For those barbarian soldiers, those who were slightly injured were treated, and those who were seriously injured were given immediate relief.
The temperature in the mountains and forests was relatively high and the weather was sultry. Liu Cong ordered all the corpses to be buried deeply, and the corpses in the rivers were also fished out and buried to avoid causing the plague.
Two hours later, the entire battlefield was cleared. Liu Cong led his army down the river towards the residence of the Xiongxi tribe.
At this time, the remaining people in the entire tribe are old, young and women. When they saw the Han army coming, they were very frightened and fled in all directions.
But there were Han soldiers on all sides, with long glaring swords in their hands. They scurry around like headless flies,After a while, they all gathered together tremblingly.
Liu Cong ordered the soldiers to move out all the barbarian belongings, and then set fire to the thatched houses and thatched huts.
These barbarians watched all this helplessly, but did not dare to make any move. Because the native soldiers who protected them were all under guard by the Han army, and of course many did not come back, they naturally knew that those people were dead.
To completely solve the problem of Wuling, these barbarians must be Sinicized. The first step of Sinicization is to let them leave the mountains and forests and turn hunting into farming.
There were more than 20,000 barbarians here. Liu Cong ordered Gong Zhi and Liu Min to lead 8,000 Han troops and escort all the barbarian prisoners and these barbarians outside Wuling City. Then Liao Li, Jiang Wan, Liu Ba and others took them They were placed in the four counties of Jingnan, built houses for them, distributed land, and forced them to farm.
After the barbarians were taken away, Liu Cong ordered the soldiers to set up camp along the Xiong River and bury pots to make rice.
Although more than a thousand soldiers were lost in the battle of Xiongxi, the whole battle went smoothly, and the problem of Xiongxi was completely solved, which Liu Cong was quite satisfied with.
In the evening, Liu Cong was watching the map of Wuxi drawn by Ma Liang for him in the commander's tent. The soldiers reported it, and Deng Ai asked to see him.
Liu Cong immediately asked Deng Ai to come in.
"See my lord!"
"No gift for being a scholar!"
"My lord, my subordinates think that we have to change our strategy towards Wuxi. I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat them all!"
"Shizai is right. If Badan, the Xiongxi River, is destroyed, the other four streams will probably unite!" Liu Cong nodded.
Xiongxi is the weakest of the Five Streams and is the closest to Wuling. The original plan was that they could capture it without a single blow, and then divide their forces into two groups to attack Youxi and Yuanxi. But they didn't expect that Xiongxi's combat power was stronger than they thought, so they needed to re-estimate the strength of the other four streams. The Sixi Alliance has a total of 20,000 troops!
"My lord, I want to do this" Deng Ai told Liu Cong his thoughts in detail.
After Liu Cong listened, he immediately felt his heart suddenly brightened.
"Shi Zai's method is wonderful! But" Liu Cong frowned slightly, "The terrain of Wuxi is complicated and it is in the jungle. It is not easy to march. If we go deep inside, if there is an accident"
"Don't worry, my lord, the Feitian Camp has been doing mountain warfare training, and they will definitely be able to adapt to such conditions!" Deng Ai was full of confidence, "But here, my lord, the pressure will increase!"
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Shizai, Liu Min and Gong Zhi will arrive in twenty days at most. When are you going to set off?¡±
"In two hours, we will set off overnight!"
¡°Well, you must be more careful!¡±
