Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the land of Baiyue is vast, it exists in the form of tribes. Small tribes do not have hundreds of people, and large tribes only have tens of thousands of people. They fight independently and cannot gather their strength together.

    Furthermore, Baiyue did not have advanced civilization or developed technology, so it was a far cry from the Qin Dynasty.  This resulted in the Baiyue Land having no refined weapons, while the Qin Army had sophisticated equipment, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.

    Not to mention, Baiyue has no strict orders and no battle formations. As long as they fight, they will swarm forward like the Xiongnu and Donghu. If the war goes against their will, there will be no chance of a comeback.

    When the Baiyue army met the Qin army, no matter how it was its opponent, it would not be defeated unless it was defeated. It was killed by the Qin army and blood flowed like a river.

    At the beginning, Baiyue did not know the power of the Qin army and did not take the Qin army seriously. After the Qin army showed its power and killed many people, Baiyue finally knew the power of the Qin army and could not help but be greatly feared and shocked.

    However, the killings by the Qin army were only the beginning.  As soon as the Qin army passed through the Five Ridges and entered Lingnan, they divided their forces and killed them.

    The Baiyue army is poorly equipped, has not undergone strict training, and has no advanced tactics and tactics. It poses no threat to the Qin army and there is no need to gather the Qin army together.  Wang Jian divided his troops at the right time and divided the Qin army into a team of ten thousand people to attack everywhere.

    Even so, the Baiyue army still could not resist the Qin army's offensive. The Qin army made smooth progress all the way, as if they were in an uninhabited country.

    The Qin army not only pursued the Yue people to their residence, but also pursued them all over the mountains and plains.  The situation in Baiyue is very different from that in the Central Plains. It belongs to the jungle zone, and fighting in Baiyue is a jungle war.  For this reason, Wang Jian specially selected similar terrain for training. The Qin army was no stranger to jungle combat.

    "These damn Qin troops, how can they be so good at getting into the jungle? They are no worse than us."

    "I really didn't expect that these Qin troops ran so fast in the jungle and shot their arrows so accurately. I originally thought this was our paradise, but I didn't expect that this was the Qin army's paradise."

    "The Qin army is so terrifying. They are extremely sharp in slashing and killing, are proficient in riding and shooting, and are also good at getting through the jungle. What else can they not do?"

    The Yue people who were chased by the Qin army and had no way out were extremely depressed.

    These Yue people have lived in Lingnan for generations and are very familiar with the jungles in Lingnan. They originally thought they could rely on this to deal with the Qin army, but they did not expect that the Qin army was also good at getting into the jungle. No matter where they fled, they would be attacked by the Qin army.  catch up.

    Being good at navigating the jungle is a special skill of the Yue people. Even this was surpassed by the Qin army. Can they not be desperate?

    Once the Qin army catches up, nine out of ten will die.

    The reason why the Qin army wanted to carry out such a massacre was to establish its prestige and let the Yue people know the military might of the Qin army and not dare to be disloyal again.

    Although the Chu State had nominally obtained the land of Baiyue for hundreds of years, it was unable to effectively control it. This made the Yue people arrogant and arrogant, thinking that the people of the Central Plains were nothing more than this. Only by allowing them to suffer heavy casualties could they understand the Qin army.  Only with the power of the army can we not dare to feel betrayal again. This massacre is necessary.

    The Qin army encountered no decent resistance when it marched to Lingnan this time. It was a one-sided massacre. Wherever the Qin army passed, it was bound to be a bloody road.

    In this way, the Qin army made rapid progress and soon arrived at the front line of Guilin to rest, recover their strength, replenish their weapons and food, and prepare to fight again.

    Historically, after the 500,000 Qin troops crossed Lingnan, they fought very smoothly.  However, once they reached the front line of Guilin, they could no longer fight. It was not that the Qin Army was not good at fighting, but because the Qin Army's logistics supplies were insufficient.  At that time, the Ling Canal was not built, so the Qin army's supplies had to be transported overland, from Wuling.

    The terrain of Wuling is difficult and the roads are difficult to travel. It is not easy to supply an army of 500,000. The Qin army has no food, no clothes, and low morale. It is impossible to successfully fight.

    For this matter, Qin Shihuang visited Changsha twice. In the end, Shi Lu proposed to build Ling Canal to transport the Qin army's baggage by water.

    Now, Qin Yiren has made preparations in advance, built the Ling Canal, set up the Guilin camp, and stored a large amount of luggage in Guilin. He does not worry about not having enough, but only worries about not being able to use it up.

    After the Qin army took a short rest on the front line in Guilin, their morale was even higher, their fighting spirit was fierce, and they embarked on the journey again.

    After the Qin army entered Lingnan, they mainly carried out killings, and few Yue people surrendered.  However, after passing the Guilin line, the killings of the Qin army became less and less, because after the massacre by the Qin army, the Yue people were afraid and came to surrender one after another.

    Killing is not the purpose, it is just a means. The purpose is to shock the hearts of the Yue people, so that they will know the military power of the Qin army and will not dare to betray their hearts again.

    Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to carry out mass killings. Wang Jian gave the timely order to accept the surrender of the Yue people.  ?The Yue people were overjoyed when they heard the news that they could surrender. They were even happier than during the Chinese New Year because they could finally live.

    Of course, there are also some large tribes who do not know the heights of the world and want to resist. However, they are severely attacked by the Qin army, causing countless casualties. Some tribes are even slaughtered by the Qin army.

    The Borg tribe is a large tribe in Baiyue, with a population of 40,000 to 50,000. Its leader is named Borg Ya, and he is an old acquaintance of Qin Yiren.  This person once participated in the Wood Raising Ceremony and ranked among the top ten.

    At this time, Bogya was already the leader of the Bog tribe. He summoned his men to the king's tent and said to them: "You already know about the Qin army's march south. The Qin army's soldiers were very sharp, and everything they passed was red.  , this is the blood of Yue people"!

    As soon as he started speaking, there was a shouting sound, and a group of subordinates shouted: "Sir, give the order, we must avenge the Yue people."

    "Yes, we must take revenge! How can we let the Qin army run rampant and kill wantonly in our territory? This revenge must be avenged!"

    "If I don't avenge this, I swear I won't be a human being."

    After the Qin army entered Lingnan, they went on a killing spree. Although it successfully achieved the purpose of frightening the Yue people, it also made the Yue people very angry, especially these large tribes who thought they had a large population and wanted revenge.

    "Shut up!" Borg shouted in a deep voice, like thunder exploding, and said: "I have gathered you here today, not to discuss how to take revenge, but to tell you that the Borg tribe will submit to the Qin Dynasty."

    "What?" A cry of surprise rang out, and the eyes of all the subordinates were as wide as bells, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

    "Why surrender? Our Borg tribe is a large tribe in Lingnan, with a population of more than 40,000. No, we will never surrender."

    "That's right. We will not surrender even if we die. We vow to fight the Qin army to the end."

    The subordinates screamed loudly, and they all looked dissatisfied.

    "That's enough!" Borg shouted in a deep voice, like thunder exploding, and these subordinates reluctantly shut up.

    "Have you ever been to the Central Plains? Do you know how big the Central Plains is? Do you know the population of the Central Plains?" Borgya's eyes flashed, and he asked loudly at his subordinates, "You have never been to the Central Plains, you  I don¡¯t know. I have been to the Central Plains, and I know how big it is and how many people there are.¡±

    At this point, his voice became high-pitched and shrill, and he said: "Our tribe covers an area of ??two hundred miles, but the Central Plains has hundreds of areas with a radius of two hundred miles; our tribe has a population of more than 40,000, and the Central Plains has a population of more than 40,000.  Their population is four to five hundred times that of ours, even if a Central Plains person can drown us all with just a spit of spit"

    "Sir, are you kidding? How can the Central Plains be so big? There can't be so many people, right?" Some of his subordinates didn't believe it.

    "That's right." There was a chorus of agreement.

    The Yue people are mostly frogs in the well. They don¡¯t know how big the Central Plains is and how many people there are. It¡¯s really difficult for them to believe that this is true.

    "Hmph!" Borgya snorted coldly and said: "You don't have to think about it with your pig brains. The Central Plains army entering Lingnan this time has 500,000 people. If the Central Plains does not have a large number of people, it can send such a  Too many troops? Not to mention anything else, these 500,000 troops are ten times the population of our entire tribe, ten times."

    These words were so shocking that all the subordinates were stunned for a moment, with their mouths wide open and expressions of shock on their faces.

    "Not to mention, the Qin army has sophisticated equipment, strict orders, and a majestic formation. It dares to fight and fight. What can we do to fight the Qin army?" Borgya said in a deep voice: "If we don't surrender now, the Qin army will advance."  If we suppress them, we will be too late and we will all die."

    "Sir, even if what you say is true, we can't rush to surrender, right? Even if we want to surrender, we have to wait and see before asking for some benefits from the Qin army."

    "That's right, that's what it is."

    All the subordinates are still dreaming.

    "Your dream is very beautiful, but it is going to bring trouble for us." Borgya said coldly: "Do you know who Qin Yiren is? He can only take advantage, not suffer losses. If you want to take advantage of him,  Get benefits, unless the sun rises from the west. I have witnessed him extorting with my own eyes. Which one of King Zhao, Lord Pingyuan, Lord Xinling, and Lord Chunshen is easy to deal with? If you don't obediently offer benefits,  If you dare to say no, you will suffer a big loss. Now, half a million Qin troops have entered Lingnan and will either surrender or die. The Qin troops will not give us any benefits."

    Bogeya participated in the wood-raising ceremony and saw with his own eyes the extortion of Qin Yiren. High and powerful people such as King Zhao Xiaocheng, Lord Pingyuan, Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen had no choice but to hold back in front of him.  This incident left a deep impression on Borgya.

    Of course, what he said is trueLogically speaking, Qin Yiren can only take advantage and cannot suffer losses. If he suffers losses, he will get greater benefits.  The Borg tribe and the Qin army are not at the same level at all. What can they use to talk to the Qin army?

    If we really want to talk, it will definitely arouse the anger of the Qin army, and the Borg tribe will be completely killed and injured.

    In addition to conquering Lingnan, the Qin army also had another purpose in going south this time, which was to establish its authority. Anyone who dared to challenge the terms and conditions would be massacred.  Only in this way will Yue people be afraid and not dare to rebel.

    The subordinates knew that Borgya had entered the Central Plains. After hearing this, they were all speechless and did not dare to refute.

    "This matter is settled." Borgya made the decision immediately.

    Once the decision was made, Bogoya went to see Wang Jian in person and asked for surrender.

    The Borg tribe is a large tribe in the land of Baiyue, and its surrender is a weathervane. Wang Jian accepted the surrender of the Borg tribe.

    As soon as this news spread, more Yue tribes surrendered.  Next, the Qin army's march was nothing more than a journey, reaching Panyu (now Guangzhou) almost without a fight.

    At this point, the land of Baiyue has been pacified.
