"No mercy for all killed" "What you can't take away, burn it" "After the seizure is registered, it will be handed over to the baggage battalion, and it is not allowed to carry items unrelated to the battle" On the grassland, under the blue sky and white clouds, a killing has just been experienced.
The people of the Western Regions rode and charged with the howl of Hu, rushed into a tribe of the Shuri people, and fought with full enthusiasm against the rebellious Ershu people.
The Han army in the Western Regions pursued the fast-running Shuqian people in a roundabout way, and the Han people who were recruited stayed on the periphery of the tribe to intercept the Shuqian people who broke out of the siege.
The tribe of about 2,000 people disappeared into history in just two hours, and those who resisted were either killed or captured, and those who did not become part of the spoils of war.
Fang Yan wiped the blade with a rag, put the war knife back into the scabbard, and watched the tribe with wisps of black smoke rising into the sky, without any fluctuations in his heart.
"This tribe is so poor" Wang Mian looked depressed: "There are fewer horses, cattle, and sheep than expected, and there is not a single camel." ” The Shuli people are still in the semi-bronze age, and the valuable things are herding animals, and if you want to count something, it is the population that can be used as slaves.
This is the fourth tribe of the Shuqian people they have eliminated along the way, and the first three have actually not obtained satisfactory spoils, and the harvest is less than expected, so naturally they can't be happy.
Collections It's still early, and a rush may be enough time to hit the next target.
Fang Yan and Wang Mian were selected to join the Left Route Army, and they first hid in Taohuai for nearly a month, waiting for the Right Route Army to successfully attract the attention of the Hunnites before leaving Taohuai and rushing into the area where the Hunnites had lent the Shujin people to live and breed at lightning speed.
They had penetrated about one hundred and thirty miles into the enemy's territory, and there were eight formations of two or three thousand people like them, each of which was interspersed with the elimination of the Shujin tribes along the way, not seeking to destroy all the enemy troops encountered along the way, nor to capture more booty, but to enter the territory of the Hunnites as quickly as possible.
"I'm not done yet" "Can you lack something like this, get over and assemble" Even though Abati was reluctant, he still had to let go of the spoils.
He really didn't doubt that the loot would be swallowed up, but he wondered how he could tell who was who if he didn't register carefully, and how he would share the profits later The Han people are generous, or the protector of the Western Regions, is generous and trustworthy, and has been recognized by the people of the Western Regions.
It is precisely because of the faithfulness and recognition shown by the Protectorate of the Western Regions that they followed the Han army on an expedition to Hunnite with enthusiasm, or even if they really came to the wrong mood, they would inevitably procrastinate or disobey the yin and yang.
The team set off again, leaving the baggage team to pack up the loot, and they would transport it to the rear for counting and sealing, as for the person who should have shared the loot or not, it didn't matter if the owner of the trophy did not come back alive, the Western Regions Protectorate would also send the spoils to their families.
Although it is adhering to the policy of "reducing Ding", it is always wiser to uphold a good reputation and use wealth to tempt the people of the Western Regions to work for the Han army and be consumed, than to explicitly eliminate the people of the Western Regions.
About twenty miles to the west of their territory is the Gobi region.
The Gobi should be about 30 miles wide, and it is not suitable for grazing because there is no relationship between water and grass, and it will only pass by when the east and west are coming.
When approaching the Gobi region, the troops would stop next to a river to replenish and store water.
When Fang Yan came to the river, he saw a scene after the killing.
"The Rangers come first."
Wang Mian didn't know who to ask for the news, so he boasted to Fang Lun: "A hundred rangers with a thousand Wusun servant soldiers killed more than a thousand people here like chopping melons and vegetables, and none of them ran away. ” "Hmm" Fang Yan asked unexpectedly, "no prisoners left" Wang Mian looked at the fool and said, "Do you have the eyes to see the baggage team following?"
Then it is no wonder that so many corpses were seen but not living captives.
The people of the Western Regions were instructed to bury the corpse, and they were also surprised, wondering how there could be a corpse of a young woman.
"It's a shame."
Abbati looked at a girl with a pale face: "She is still young, but she died here." ” "She's dressed in good clothes."
Zeku actually reached out and pinched the girl's chest: "Not long after death, it's still soft." ” After death, the body's blood circulation stops, the muscles lose activity, and after about an hour, they become stiff and their skin turns blue.
There is no saying that the dead are the most important thing for the people of the Western Regions, and if Zeku is not right at the time and place, he does not exclude doing something "while it is hot".
"I mean, don't you kill young women," Abati pointed to the corpses thrown into the pit, "and this time they don't even have a chance to become slaves." ” Zeku turned his head to look at the people who were frolicking and eating not far away, and recognized the presence of the Wusun people: "As far as I know, the Han army does not kill old people, women and children when they are forced to do so. ” Abbati reminisced carefully, hearsay or personal witness, as if it were the case.
It is true that the Han army will not take the initiative to kill the elderly, women and children when they are not threatened, and it is the servant army and the entourage of various ethnic groups who do this kind of thing.
It's good to say hypocrisy or anything, the Han army doesn't do those things in order not to become a beast army.
In fact, the most important thing is that someone can do it for you, or if you really have to do it yourself, there is an order to exclude the Han soldiers and do it.
"Go over here, go further," Su Ren pointed to the west, "It will take at least fifty miles to get the water replenishment again." ” A group of officers had been talking for a while, gathering information on each other and finally confirming their respective routes.
"There are 3,000 camels in the procession, and they will be placed at the back of the line, walking with the water convoy."
Yang Su was the commander of this army, and with the rank of captain, he commanded 5,000 soldiers, 10,000 Han Xiaoguo, and 50,000 or 60,000 people from the Western Regions: "The old rule is that a small number of people rush forward with Xiaoguo and Suihu.
After the Gobi region, you know what to do. ” The officers are all serious: "No" The team that filled the water bags was the first to pull out, and one person carried at least three water bags, and in addition to the main mount, at least one auxiliary horse provided the transfer.
The Hunnites were attracted to the Right Army, the military power in the territory was empty, and they came to kill and destroy, and what they pursued was speed.
The Gobi is a place that looks like it is full of mud and sand, as if the whole world is only the earthy yellow color of the ground except for the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.
In such a place, a slightly stronger gust of wind can kick up a cloud of sand and dust, and sometimes a swirling tornado can be seen.
"It's hard to find withered branches in this place."
Fang Yan is no stranger to the Gobi, and the north of their village is the Gobi: "It is even more desolate than ours." ” The common denominator between the Gobi and the desert is that it is difficult to see green plants, the difference is that the Gobi at least has soil, but the desert is full of sand.
There was no human population in the Gobi area for thirty miles, but they did come into contact with some caravan or other group that was hurrying on the way, and usually those groups found them and began to flee, and then they split up and went in pursuit.
"Hurry up" Li Bing's mouth and nose were covered with cloth, and when he opened his mouth, he would not be filled with sand and dust, and his voice would inevitably be sullen: "Solve them, go back to meet immediately." ” The teams that ran away when they found the Han army, they didn't know that the Han army was hostile at the beginning, but no matter where they were in the Western Regions or the Gobi, it was difficult for different teams to have any peaceful coexistence when they encountered each other, even if they didn't do it at the first time, they would definitely monitor each other and wait for the opportunity to strike.
The Han army had at least two or three thousand men per unit, one of whom was at least two horses, and did not carry supplies.
For caravans or what kind of team, they see that kind of team is the most terrifying, usually it is a horse thief group cruising in the Gobi or something, and the army will not be much better than the horse thief group, and it would be stupid not to escape.
Li Bing led more than 500 people to pursue a merchant brigade of about 200 people, and he was the first person to see blood when he swung his weapon, and he cut off a head very cleanly, and the headless corpse on horseback spewed a stream of blood from its neck before falling.

"Surrender, we surrender."
"The goods are yours" "Don't kill me, my family will pay the ransom" The Han people listen to the pronunciation of "chirping", and the people of the Western Regions may be able to understand it, but as a lackey, they have never had any right to speak.
This caravan found that no matter how they escaped, they couldn't escape, and they stopped behind it.
They were driven and gathered together, constantly "grunting" and looking at the unknown forces who surrounded themselves with longing eyes.
Li Bing rode around on horseback, mainly to identify who they were and to distinguish some people.
"There are Persians and Assan."
Li Bing's eyes kept sweeping over those Persians, watching them shout fiercely, and ordered expressionlessly: "Go to work." ” The most important thing is that there are no Han talents who are fenced in, and where the rest come from will not be a problem at all.
The people of the Western Regions who got the order rushed forward with cheers, it didn't matter to them who they killed, being able to kill and counting the credit was the key, and a head represented five hundred five-baht coins.
The Han Empire and the Sassanid are allies, and they should not even kill the Persians, not to mention how much the Han Empire cares about the alliance with the Sasanians, anyone who will hinder or threaten military operations, even the Han people will not tolerate the slightest mercy when necessary, but with the strength of the Han Empire now, there is usually no need to be embarrassed to kill their own people to achieve any goal.
"Furs, cloth, and a few miscellaneous things."
"Leave one to count."
Animal power would be collected and taken away, and corpses would be discarded in place.
At the same time, in addition to some valuable trophies that are easy to carry will be taken away, or the goods will also be lost in the same place.
If you don't take away the loot, you will be counted, mainly because you can't let the people of the Western Regions work in vain, in order not to be troubled by the goods, the Western Regions Protectorate will not be short of so much money, and the profit will naturally be shared later.
"Do they really strictly count how much we should share" Zeku's body rose and fell with the gallop of the war horse, but his head couldn't help but keep looking back: "Are there any bad rumors?"
Abbati is also looking at the rear, but the difference between him and Zeku is that he knows that even if the Han people are fooling around, what can they do except for a few complaints, everything is not pinned on the high moral character of the Han people.
The corpses and goods left in place, the Gobi will soon let most of the corpses and goods disappear from the surface, and within a day, all traces of the killing will disappear, and the bones buried under the sand will be found here much later.
"Isn't the relationship between the Persians and the Hunnites tense" Wang Mian always had too much curiosity: "Why are there Persians in the territory of the Hunnit?"
"When will the relationship between the Han people and the grassland tribes not be tense," Fang Yan said sullenly: "When will there be a shortage of Han people on the grassland." ” Wang Mian realized that he had indeed asked a very stupid question, and smiled.
The Han army that entered the Gobi region did not encounter too many non-local teams, but when they found one, they would pursue and kill them.
Not only will they do that in the Gobi region, but they will also go through the Gobi region to the populated area, bringing killing and destruction along the way.
The Hunnites did not have a long history, they probably formed a unified power thirty or forty years ago, and their relations with the Persian Sassanids were tense for a long time, but they had very friendly relations with the Kidoro dynasty.
According to some Persian accounts, the Hunnites were a new tribe of many ethnic groups, mainly the Yuepans, but also a considerable number of Huns and Kushans.
According to the Persians, the Hunnites were a brave and warlike tribe with an unusually tenacious fighting style.
"These guys are very vicious," Fang Yan said with some trepidation, "the blade got stuck in the collarbone, and I almost got stabbed." ” They were in a small village that had been captured, and the people of the Western Regions were also going to do some dirty work and tiring work, while the Han army and Xiaoguo were seizing the time to rest.
This village of only about 300 people, they were easy to kill, and the killing was not difficult at first, probably because the Hunnites found out that the village would be slaughtered, and all men, women and children began to fight desperately.
"The Hunnites are indeed different from the people of the Western Regions."
Wang Mian's face was not very good: "Two of my followers died." ” Will have a bad face, not sad and die, but Wang Mian will pay two pensions when he goes back.
Fang Yan didn't know what to say, he just knew that his side had suffered nearly 100 casualties, and 27 people had fallen forever in this strange land.
The war will definitely kill people, even Wang Mian is too powerful, or he will not die as soon as he dies.
Wang Mian smiled as if he was crying: "My brother-in-law is dead." ” Fang Yan comforted: "You still have seven brothers-in-law
