Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 40

In stark contrast to the weakness of the clan's children such as Ziying, Li Shang was riding a horse with a hundred soldiers behind him.

Li Shang's face was full of longing for Nanhai County.

Now he is just a cavalier of a duke, but His Majesty said at the time of parting that if you recruit a hundred elite Yue people, you will be appointed as a hundred generals, if you recruit a thousand people, you will be appointed as two or five hundred masters, and if you recruit ten thousand people, you will be appointed immediately. Entitled Yueqi school lieutenant, Jinjue public ride!

Ha, wait a minute, brother, when we meet again, you have to salute to me!Li Shang raised the corners of his mouth triumphantly, and at the same time took off the loaded crossbow from the saddle, and with a whoosh, shot a Yueren who was about to sneak attack from the tree canopy by the side of the road.

At the same time, there was a crackling sound, and countless Yueren warriors in animal skins emerged from the grass.

"Create an formation, protect the young master!" He roared, threw the crossbow to the soldiers driving, and then led the cavalry to rush out.

blah blah blah!
Lu Feikuai made by the horse.

In the blink of an eye, Li Shang had already rushed in front of a Yue warrior, leaning forward with his upper body, and stabbing forward with the halberd in his hand like lightning.

boom!
Li Shang's halberd was separated by the shield of the Yue warrior.

In the next second, Li Shang used the power of the horse to charge forward, and hooked backwards. The twig on the halberd instantly cut off half of the Yue warrior's neck.

The Yue warrior fell back to the ground with a bang, blood gushed out of his neck, and his limbs began to twitch non-stop due to blood loss and severe pain.

Because this trip will pass through many Yue people's territories, the accompanying Qin army is all soldiers who are accustomed to fighting, and there are more than a dozen old soldiers who have participated in the battle to destroy Qi.

When Li Shang shouted to form an formation, the pawns holding the shields and halberds immediately formed around the carriage, their bodies shrunk behind the shields, and the halberds in their hands pointed outward. .

Seen from the sky, the formation of the Qin army is like a beast with its fangs open, waiting for the arrival of its prey.

At the same time, the running Yue warriors reached within the range of the wooden bow, and many experienced hunters immediately started to shoot arrows while running.

boom! boom! boom!
Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields of the Qin army, and only some Yue warriors with excellent archery skills shot arrows through the gaps in the shields.

Fortunately, Qin Jun did not fall because of this, because those bone arrows bounced off immediately after hitting the armor on Qin Jun's body, leaving no scratches.

In the next second, Qin Jun began to counterattack.

The crossbow bolts inspired by the strong crossbow shot out from the gaps in the shield.

puff!puff!puff!
The Yue warriors in animal skins and holding stone axes and sticks were shot down a large area.

The Yue warriors who had rushed to the front of the Qin army's formation were also stabbed to the ground by the halberd protruding from behind the shield wall like a poisonous snake.

The Yue people are brave, especially for them, the Qin people at this time are out-and-out invaders.

The death of the warriors of the same family, on the contrary, inspired their blood and courage.

Wielding wooden sticks and stone axes, they struck Qin Jun's shield vigorously.

However, personal bravery cannot change the combat effectiveness and equipment gap between the Yue warriors and the Qin army.

The stone ax slashed on the iron shield, only sparking a stream of sparks, which made the soldiers of the Qin army numb, but did not break through the shield wall of the Qin army.

And within the shield wall, following the orders of their respective corporal leaders, sharp halberds pierced out like lightning.

Almost every thrust of the halberd would leave a hole in the body of the Yue warrior.

In the blink of an eye, in front of the shield wall of the Qin army, the corpses of Yue people were lying in disorder, and the road made of rammed earth became extremely muddy, and the blood, stumps and internal organs of Yue warriors were everywhere.

But soon, Ziying discovered that something seemed wrong.

Because the Yue people's ability to withstand casualties is far greater than the elite armies of other countries.

It is understandable that the Qin army did not retreat in a deadly battle, because after this battle, there will inevitably be many more officials, superiors, and even hairpins among the hundreds of guards.

What about Yueren?
The ants are still alive, can't they see that this is a convoy with sufficient force?

Looking for death is not such a way to die, is it?
Ziying looked to the side at Ren Xiao, who was curling up his beard with a familiar expression on his face, and asked him his doubts.

Ren Xiao smiled and said: "Young Master, I don't know. Ever since the previous emperor set up Guilin, Xiang, and Nanhai counties, the good land cultivated by the Yue people for hundreds or even thousands of years has been owned by the people of Qin."

"The remaining Yue people fled into the dense forest in a hurry under the expulsion of our Qin people, and had to compete for territory with the Yue people in the forest."

"Although the Yue people in the forest were defeated by relying on a slightly better battle, the amount of arable farmland in the dense forest is far from enough to feed such a large population."

"For this reason, in autumn and winter every year, a large number of such attacks will occur, regardless of winning or losing..."

Ziying suddenly said, "What does the captain mean, that the Yue people are trying to use this method to consume the excess population?"

Ren Xiao nodded and said, "Of course!"

He seemed to recall something, and added: "Your Majesty calls it a 'suicidal lemming'..."

"Lemmings?" Ziying frowned, "What a strange name, did you tell His Majesty about such things?"

Ren Xiao nodded without speaking, took the halberd from the guard, and replaced a somewhat exhausted soldier.

Ziying looked at those Yue warriors who fought selflessly, and suddenly understood what Fusu had said to him when he left Xianyang.

When barbarians enter China, China will...

Set aside disputes and jointly develop...

Following the story of Baju, feuding the rulers of the Yue people, making them the barriers of the settlements of the Qin people...

It is forbidden for Qin women to marry Yue people, even if the man is the leader of Yue people, those who violate the order will be fined two armors and 20 years!
Except for the latter one, which made Ziying a little dumbfounded, he understood the rest a little bit now.

On this trip, he brought 100 million yuan, more than a dozen clan children, and the former school order Gong Shufei to Lingnan. The main purpose was to build several sugarcane plantations in Nanhai County.

However, according to Fusu's vision, the large amount of manpower required by the plantation can only be allocated to these Yue tribes.

The condition for those Yue tribes who were willing to be canonized by the imperial court to return to farming on the plains was to send troops to mop up the surrounding Yue tribes that were hostile to the Qin people.

According to Ren Xiao, His Majesty is benevolent, and this move is a gift.

Many of the conflicts between the Yue people's tribes can be traced back hundreds of years ago. Even without the support of the Qin people's food and fodder, they still fight each other!
As for the captured prisoners of war, they were handed over to the county captain's mansion to offset the taxes owed to the court in previous years...

PS: The water test is over, a round trip without any surprises, no recommendations, no collections, no rewards, no monthly tickets, no this chapter says nothing...

In the next few months, there is a high probability that it will be put on the shelves quietly, rush to the street quietly, and end quietly... But don't worry, real men are only unfinished, not too supervising!

I live to write, and you all live to read...

But in fact, I understand in my heart that apart from the editor, there may not be more than five readers who read this passage...

Stop talking, let me cry in the quilt for a while...
