Volume 1 Chapter 121 The Capture is Too Big
The subordinates of the Fourth Khan and the Fifth Khan of the Xiongnu all knelt on the ground.
The remaining 50,000 cavalrymen also laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground.
Seeing this, Chuluo Khan hurriedly said to Bai Qi: "Surrender and I will not kill you! It's just right for me to recruit them. My strength will increase greatly, and then I will definitely unify the grassland."
Da Zhuang and others wanted to speak, but Bai Qi waved his hand to stop them.
He looked at the Huns in front of him, grinned and said, "Pass on my order, kill them all!"
As Bai Qi waved his hand, Da Zhuang and others' eyes lit up, and they immediately raised their spears and swords. The 25,000 cavalrymen roared in an instant and launched a charge.
The warhorse trampled the ground, and wherever the sword passed, a head flew up.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Da Zhuang and others roared.
These idiots actually knelt down and begged for mercy, waiting to be killed by them. It was so cool.
The Xiongnu cavalry shouted wildly:
"What are you doing? Do you know what it means to surrender and not be killed?"
"You people from the Central Plains don't keep your word!"
At this moment, the Huns were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and many of them regretted surrendering.
If I had known this earlier, I should have kept running.
Some people even shouted at Bai Qi: "We have all surrendered, but you still want to kill us! You are not a human being!"
"Bai Qi, you will die a miserable death!"
"Bai Qi, you will never be reborn."
Bai Qi just let these insults go unmoved. Go ahead and insult as much as you can. You will all be dead soon!
He watched all this calmly, with only endless comfort in his heart.
Chuluo Khan was anxious. He grabbed Bai Qi's horse reins and shouted, "You can't do this! These are all warriors on the grassland!"
"I have an alliance with the Great Zhou, you cannot slaughter my subordinates!"
If Bai Qi were to kill these 50,000 elite troops, his power as Choro Khan would be greatly damaged. Even if he conquered the grassland, he would not be able to recover within two or three years.
Bai Qi looked at the Xiongnu coldly and said, "When you went to Honghua City to massacre our people, did you ever think of surrendering and not being killed?"
"When you were facing unarmed civilians, did you ever think of letting them go?"
"You wantonly slaughtered the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and even wantonly massacred the city!"
"Why can you kill them all, but we in the Great Zhou can't?"
"All soldiers, listen up! Except for the Fourth Khan and the Fifth Khan of the Xiongnu, no one else will be spared!"
Bai Qi's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
This is not a trap to kill our own people, why is it wrong for me to kill the enemy?
And the more I kill, the greater my contribution!
The people in the rear will be safer!
As he spoke, Bai Qi kicked Choro Khan's horse, which flew away. Choro Khan also fell to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.
His eyes were full of resentment, but he dared not speak out.
Bai Qi directly said to Choro Khan: "What I want is a grassland Khan who will be submissive to the Central Plains Dynasty in the future. I don't need a grassland Khan who is ambitious and wants to make a comeback. Understand?"
Bai Qi looked at Choro Khan coldly, and raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand slightly.
Chuluo Khan turned pale with fear, and immediately bowed to Bai Qi, saying respectfully: "Chuluo understands!"
"Hmph! You'd better not have any evil thoughts, otherwise, their fate today will be your tomorrow! We can help you get back on your feet, but we can also make you fall into eternal damnation!"
Bai Qi kept putting pressure on Choro Khan, which was just like training an eagle, he had to beat him from time to time.
Choro Khan gritted his teeth, and although he wished to tear Bai Qi into pieces, he did not dare to show any sign at this moment.
The attitude is more respectful than before.
It was as if he was surrendering sincerely.
Seeing him like this, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction.
Then he picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji and charged directly with the Great Zhou cavalry.
"Kill them all, leaving no one behind!"
Bai Qi's voice was cold, which made the Huns shudder and made Choro Khan furious.
These are all his future people!
He took a quick peek and his heart immediately began to bleed.
These Huns had already lost all their fighting spirit, and they had just dismounted from their horses and were kneeling on the ground. Now it was too late for many of them to pick up their weapons and mount their horses.
Bai Qi's 25,000 cavalrymen rushed forward like bees. Half a day later, 50,000 Hun cavalrymen fell to the ground.
The grassland turned into a sea of blood.
Seeing this scene, Choro Khan knelt on the ground helplessly. He looked at the corpses all over the ground, and the hatred in his eyes was as real as substance. If he had the ability at this moment, he would definitely tear Bai Qi into pieces!
At this moment, the Fourth Khan and the Fifth Khan burst into tears, pointed at Bai Qi angrily, and cursed:
"Bai Qi, you have committed too many sins. One day, you will be punished!"
Yeah?
Bai Qi didn't take it seriously. As a general who fought on the battlefield, he had no reason to be afraid of committing murder when killing enemies.
He ignored all this and ordered Yang Paifeng:
“First, we need to compile statistics on the results of the battle, record each person’s contribution in a book, and then bring it back to the camp to reward people based on their merits.
Second, collect the spoils, the war horses of the steppe cavalry. All the scimitars, bows and arrows in your hands must be confiscated.
Third, all the gold, silver and other valuables obtained by the grassland royal court must be taken back and rewarded to the three armies! ”
Yes sir!
Yang Paifeng's eyes were full of excitement. He gained so much from this battle.
Not to mention anything else, just the 50,000 war horses now, how much would they sell for?
It can fully replenish all the consumption of the Yang family army.
Even these 50,000 war horses can be given to Yue Shenqiang, Duke Qin and others.
The military strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty increased a lot.
Not to mention that we also got a large number of scimitars this time. These iron tools are very valuable.
........
Two days later.
Bai Qi returned to Honghua City with the Zhou army, the Fourth Khan and the Fifth Khan of the Xiongnu, as well as a large number of horses and gold and silver treasures.
As for Choro Khan, Bai Qi released him to the grassland and let him gather the remnants of his troops on his own.
At this moment in Honghua City, the sound of gongs and drums was deafening.
A mile outside Honghua City, countless people spontaneously lined the streets to welcome them. They held basins of water in their hands and sprinkled water in the middle of the road to reduce the dust when the war horses passed by.
The soldiers stood behind them, each of them standing straight with a weapon in their hands.
Yang Wudi was standing at the front of the team. When he saw Bai Qi and the others return, he bowed deeply to them and said:
"Congratulations to our Great Zhou soldiers for their triumphant return!"
At this moment the crowd exploded.
"Triumph! Triumph! Triumph!"
The soldiers waved their weapons, and the people beat drums and gongs and shouted at the top of their lungs.
Bai Qi took the lead and entered Honghua City with Yang Paifeng and others surrounded by the crowd.
Da Zhuang and the others all blushed. This kind of welcoming of the triumphant soldiers was definitely the biggest scene he had ever seen in his life.
Almost all the people and soldiers in Honghua City were mobilized.
After the warm welcome ceremony ended, Bai Qi and others entered the central military tent.
Only then did he begin to report the results of the battle to Yang Wudi.
"Commander-in-chief, this time our army launched a surprise attack on the coalition of the three Khans, and the results are as follows:
First, he killed the third Khan of the Huns and captured the fourth and fifth Khans.
Second, this time the Huns had an army of 380,000, and we chased and killed 180,000 of them.
After the First World War, only 200,000 cavalry were left out of the 380,000-strong Hun army. ”
As soon as Bai Qi reported this, the whole audience was in an uproar.
“So many people died?”
"Oh my god, we have been fighting the Huns for so many years, but we haven't caused so many Hun deaths!"
During the great battle in the central army, all the generals were stunned.
If it wasn't Yang Paifeng who was counting the battle results, they would even think that Bai Qi was lying.
And what Bai Qi said next shocked them even more.
"This time, our cavalry lost more than 200 brothers!"
Although they were being chased, there was no such thing as a war without casualties, and accidents happened everywhere.
Oh shit!
This time even Yang Wudi lost his composure.
They killed 180,000 of the enemy, but only lost more than 200 people on their side, which is almost the same as zero casualties.
He could imagine that these 200 people were probably just unlucky. They were either killed by arrows or trampled to death by war horses.
In short, there are many surprises on the battlefield.
Such a result is simply unimaginable, Bai Qi chose the perfect timing to attack.
This result alone is enough to go down in history.
It can be said that the victory was clean and neat.
Bai Qi continued to report: "Third, we seized 50,000 war horses!"
What!
The eyes of tens of thousands of generals instantly turned red. War horses! That's a scarce resource.
In an instant, they all ran over to surround Bai Qi, vying to say, "These war horses should be distributed to us!"
"This should be mine. I'll kill all my horses and eat their meat. Get out of here!"
"Get lost! The commander-in-chief said that if you have war horses, give them to us first. We are the elite troops!"
War horses are the soul of cavalry. Where would there be cavalry without war horses? How can we fight the Huns without cavalry?
All the generals could not sit still with the spoils of war, and wanted to use all of them under their command.
In the end, Yang Wudi slammed the table to ask them to be quiet, and everyone returned to their seats.
Bai Qi curled the corner of his mouth. This was just the beginning. The next part was the highlight!
