Volume 4 The Return of the King Chapter 19 The Great Destruction of Donghu

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the land of Liaodong, a war is about to begin.  !

    In the open wilderness, the Qin army was confronting the Donghu army.  The Qin army gathered 150,000 troops who entered Liaodong, and Donghu gathered 300,000 troops. The two sides were about to start a big battle here.

    Like the Xiongnu, the Donghu are nomadic people, and their political system is far inferior to that of the Xiongnu.  Although the Huns had a loose political system, they still had a Chanyu to give orders, so they were still unified in name.

    "But Donghu is composed of many tribes. There are many conflicts between large and small tribes, making it difficult to give orders.  In fact, Donghu did not have a strong political system or a unified order. They fought independently and were scattered.

    Because of the backwardness of technology, the Donghu army did not have good equipment. In addition to the essential bows and arrows, they also had scimitars.  Their scimitars were made of bronze, but their sophistication was far behind the Qin army, which also used bronze weapons to conquer the world.

    The Qin State could make bronze weapons no less powerful than iron soldiers, but the bronze scimitars of the Donghu army were very soft.

    Not all of the 300,000 people who came were troops, there were also many herdsmen.  Like the Xiongnu, the Donghu people were all soldiers. Once a war broke out, all men, women and children could go to the battlefield.  Of course, the real main force is still the young and strong warriors.

    What¡¯s even more surprising is that these Donghu people will also drive their cattle and sheep to participate in the battle, which is extremely detrimental to the Donghu¡¯s combat power.

    What¡¯s even more terrible is that because there are no unified orders and restrictions, the tribes cannot coordinate and act in unison.  Even if this war is about to break out, these tribes are still in one group in the east and one in the west, like a piece of scattered sand.

    "This is the Qin army that you brag about is like the flowers on the grassland? I don't think it's that good. They are all black, just the color of a hound."

    "I don't believe you when you say how they can fight. No matter how I look, I can't see where they can fight?"

    After the Qin army wiped out the remaining forces of the Yan state, they began to attack the Donghu tribe under the command of Li Mu.  These tribes were no match for the Qin army at all, and were killed to pieces by the Qin army.

    Of course, this is just Li Mu's method. Li Mu's real intention is to anger Donghu through killing, so that they can gather together and annihilate them in a battle.

    The various branches of Donghu are scattered across the vast land of Liaodong. It would take a long time for the Qin army to annihilate each tribe one by one. It is better to anger them and let them concentrate on their own.

    ??The Qin army brutally attacked the Donghu tribe, killing many people, and even made harsh words, saying that Donghu was a piece of shit and did not deserve to own the land of Liaodong. If they dared to come, Donghu would never come back.

    As soon as this word reached the ears of the Donghu tribes, they made the Donghu tribes extremely angry.  Because they are used to being kings and hegemons in the land of Liaodong and suppressing the Yan Kingdom for hundreds of years, how can they take the people of the Central Plains seriously? In their minds, the people of the Central Plains are just bugs and are allowed to be ravaged by them.

    As a result, all the Donghu tribes were extremely angry and ordered their troops and horses to rush over, clamoring to kill the Qin army.

    Li Mu did not engage in battle with the Donghu tribesmen who came. If the Donghu tribes came to attack, the Qin army would use strong bows and powerful crossbows to repel them.

    Donghu did not have strict orders and was very powerful in fighting against the wind. Once the war went unfavorably, the birds and beasts would disperse.  If the Qin army attacks them, they will inevitably flee, and Li Mu's plan to annihilate Donghu will come to nothing.

    In order to attract more Donghu, Li Mu from time to time ordered the soldiers of the Qin army to display gold, silver, jewelry, silk, porcelain and tea leaves for a while, and even pretended to be defeated and let the Donghu tribe snatch them away.

    Although gold, silver and jewelry are of extraordinary value, they have some appeal to Dong Hu, but they are not very attractive.

    What makes Donghu happy the most is the silk, porcelain, and tea from the Central Plains. These are not produced in Liaodong, and tea is still a necessity in life.  Because tea can reduce oil, Donghu, which mainly eats beef and mutton, will be bored without tea.

    Therefore, Donghu really wanted to get the good things that the Qin army had. When the news came out, the various departments of Donghu could not sit still and continued to send troops.  Some tribes even set up camp and came all over, ready to make a killing.

    In order to attract more Donghu, Li Mu commanded the Qin army to deliberately lose for a while and had to retreat.

    In this way, more and more Donghu were attracted, and now, there are no less than three hundred thousand people.

    The population of Donghu is not very large. There are 300,000 people, accounting for almost half of its total population.  If these 300,000 Donghu are killed, Liaodong will be shocked and Donghu will be discouraged.  Therefore, Li Mu decided to go to war.

    Under the command of Li Mu, the Qin army drove out of the camp one after another. The formation was tidy and the troops were killing each other in a chilling manner, which was heart-stopping.

    If you are hereIn Yuanyuan, the land of Shandong will definitely be frightened when they see the Qin army in such a formation.  However, Donghu looked at it and disapproved of it, because they did not have unified orders, strict military discipline, and no advanced tactics and tactics. They fought in a rush and did not understand what it means to be dignified.  array.

    Just like this, the Donghu people will still laugh at you.

    "Warriors: You have all seen that these are the Central Plains people! The Central Plains people are ignorant of life and death! They have beautiful silk, useful porcelain, and delicious tea. Cowards like them do not deserve such good things! I,  I will lead you to defeat the people from the Central Plains and seize their beautiful silks, useful porcelain, and delicious tea." A leader of the Donghu tribe waved a machete and lectured loudly to boost morale.

    Silk, porcelain, and tea are all the things Dong Hu wants most. When he heard this, they all howled like thousands of evil wolves.

    "Of course, you must not forget their thin-skinned and tender wives and concubines!" The tribal leader's eyes were filled with a different kind of light, and he shouted loudly: "The happiest thing for the warriors of Donghu is to defeat the enemy, enjoy their treasures, and humiliate them.  Their wives and concubines must make their wives and concubines moan and cry under our crotch!"

    "Howl!" These words outlined a beautiful blueprint, which inspired the Donghu warriors to wave their scimitars vigorously and howl like a wolf.

    "Kill all the people from the Central Plains!" The leader waved the scimitar in his hand at the Qin army, like thunder and lightning, very powerful.  He patted the horse on the back and rushed out first.

    "Kill all the people from the Central Plains!" The warriors of this tribe rode horses, waved scimitars, howled, and rushed forward like evil wolves.

    "Kill all the people from the Central Plains!" Once a tribe takes action, other tribes will naturally not be far behind. If they arrive late, won't all the good things be snatched away?

    So, all the Donghu people moved, those who could ride horses rode, and those who couldn't rode on foot.  Those who could run ran away, while those who could not, the old and the weak, waved their arms and shouted loudly to cheer for the Donghu army.

    "Boom!" Hundreds of thousands of Donghu people rushed to kill, the sound of hooves was like thunder, making the ground tremble, it was so majestic.

    However, in Li Mu's eyes, it was not worth a penny.

    Because the Donghu disciples only have a large number of people, there is no unified order, and there is no strict formation. They are just fighting on their own, a group of rabble.

    What¡¯s even worse is that Donghu still has no reserve team. Once the war goes unfavorable, they will have no chance to make a comeback.

    In fact, the Donghu people only rely on their vigor to fight. If they can't shake the enemy after fighting for a while, their vigor will be exhausted and they will run away.

    "How can there be such a war!"

    "Are you going to fight?"

    Although the Qin army's orders were very strict and they were not allowed to speak in the array, they still had to discuss this situation.

    The Qin army conquered the east and west, creating a great unification. It has experienced countless battles, but it has never seen such a messy fighting style. It is just a large number of people. It looks bright, but if it really wants to fight, there is no chance of victory.  .

    The Qin army remained silent for a long time, which only encouraged Donghu's arrogance. He roared loudly and wanted to kill the Qin army.

    However, what greeted them was the overwhelming crossbow arrows of the Qin army.  The powerful crossbows of the Qin army were the nemesis of the cavalry. This display of power was so powerful that countless Donghu warriors were shot into the air, including their horses and men. The horses neighed and screamed.

    This was the first time that the Donghu army encountered such a terrible thing. They were so frightened that some of them hesitated to move forward.

    However, at this time, the strength of the Donghu army had not yet exhausted, and many people still charged and killed them regardless.  The result was very tragic. They were shot with big holes and small eyes by the Qin army's powerful crossbows, and died in a miserable state.

    The leaders were also frightened, but when they thought of silk, porcelain, and tea, their eyes lit up and they commanded the Donghu army to charge.

    After paying the price of blood, the Donghu army finally rushed to the front of the Qin army and could kill the Qin army. The Donghu army had high morale, waving their scimitars and pounced on them like evil wolves.

    What greeted them was a forest of halberds. Countless halberds formed a halberd array. The Donghu warriors were stabbed to death and many injured.  Moreover, their death conditions were extremely miserable, with as few as three or five, as many as a dozen, a dozen, or even as many as thirty or twenty, with large holes and small eyes in their bodies.

    Dong Hu could not shake the Qin army's formation at all, but suffered heavy casualties, which greatly reduced Dong Hu's vigor.

    Some cowardly people turn their horses¡¯ heads and run away.

    "As soon as someone ran away, someone else followed suit. The Donghu warriors all turned their horses' heads and prepared to disperse.

    How could Li Mu let them escape?As soon as the flag was waved, the Qin army's cavalry galloped out from the left and right sides and plunged directly into the back of his Donghu army in order to cut off their retreat.

    The cavalry of the Qin army galloped while shooting with crossbows or bows and arrows. If they entered uninhabited territory, they quickly inserted themselves into the rear of the Donghu army and cut off the Donghu army's retreat.

    The Qin tribe was originally a nomadic people and was good at riding and archery. The cavalry of the Qin army was no worse than Donghu in cavalry and archery.  In addition, there are many hand crossbows, and the Qin army's cavalry will not succeed.

    As soon as the encirclement was completed, the Qin army, under the command of Li Mu, strangled the Donghu army.  First, divide the Donghu army into several parts, and then annihilate them one by one.

    This is a massacre, a true massacre.

    With the strong combat power of the Qin army and the flexible command of the military genius Li Mu, the Donghu army was unable to parry and was completely killed by the Qin army.

    Donghu did not know the power of the Qin army. The Qin army had to establish its power in Liaodong to intimidate the various tribes of Donghu. Massacre was inevitable.

    By the time the war was over, 300,000 Donghu men were dead and wounded, and no one could breathe.
