In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 63 New Rules
"Master Han, we had an agreement back then, why do you want to break the agreement and beat us now?"

The chief of the Aruk tribe did not expect that the group of Han people coming was actually the group of Han people from the south, so he said immediately.

"We did have an agreement at the beginning, but you broke the agreement first and took the initiative to beat us twice. This time I am here to take revenge."

"Han Jialang, we had no choice but to go at that time. We are willing to make compensation. How about I hand over all the Han people in the camp to you and compensate you for some cattle, sheep and horses?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Cattle, sheep and horses can no longer quell my anger. Only killing can quell my anger. Prepare to fight."

Lin Rui had already received a shield and replied in a cold tone.

"Han Jialang, you guys, don't bully others too much. If you really want to start a war, we will fight tooth and nail. My Aruke tribe will fight until the last warrior falls, and many of you will die...

If you are not satisfied with the conditions just now, we can negotiate again, no matter what the conditions are, even if you want us to sacrifice some women, it is not impossible. "

Seeing that Lin Rui had no intention of negotiating, the leader of the Aruk Tribe became anxious. He first showed his determination to resist with a decisive look on his face, and then said with a hint of pleading.

"Master Han, if the other party is willing to sacrifice his woman, it means that he has surrendered to us. Why don't we stop fighting, so as to reduce our own casualties."

When Namuzhong heard that the other clan leader was willing to sacrifice his woman, he immediately walked down and came to Lin Rui and said.

Yes, according to the rules on the grassland, the other party has said so. If there is no blood feud, there will generally be no more fights.

But Lin Rui has a Han mentality, thinks broader and further, and does not covet the small gains in front of him.

The reason why he wanted to destroy the three Khalkha tribes was to establish his authority and show his force to the tribes in the grassland and the two hundred Mongolian teenagers, so that they could see whether the Han people were really cowardly and would only hide in the castle. The defense of Lihe Shanzhai.

The second is to train the troops, so that the new recruits can see blood and experience the feeling of fighting on the battlefield.

After all, only an army that dares to fight in close combat is a real army. If we don’t use these Mongols to train our troops now, will we directly use Jurchens to train our troops in the future?
So he shook his head and said: "What I need now is not surrender, but killing, naked killing!"

"..." Namuzhong opened her mouth, which was already white with cold, but finally closed it under Lin Rui's stern gaze.

"The cavalry battalion is responsible for releasing arrows to cover the perimeter!"

After Lin Rui finished speaking, he turned around and struck the shield with his knife. He looked at the more than 1000 soldiers and said loudly: "Brothers, let these Tatars see the bloody and bravery of our Han people today. Follow me. Kill all the men!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Although many people were very nervous, they all held their spears high and shouted at this moment, while the sword and shield wielders banged their shields.

"go ahead!"

Lin Rui pointed his sword forward and shouted.

Immediately, the two combat barracks slowly pressed forward. Lin Rui did not take the lead in the charge, nor did he take the last command, but followed in the middle of the team.

"Fire arrows, warriors, and fight these Han people!"

Seeing the opponent pressing forward, the leader of the Aruk Tribe also raised his scimitar and roared loudly.

Immediately, more than 400 tribesmen who could shoot bows and arrows bent their bows and nocked arrows, and wildly threw arrows forward.

Whoop, whoop, whoop...

Not to be outdone, the two hundred Mongolian teenagers rode around to both sides and quickly fired arrows at the Mongolians in the camp.

For a moment, arrows from both sides were flying back and forth, making sharp whistling sounds. However, the north wind was blowing, and the bows and arrows were dampened, so their power was greatly reduced. In addition, everyone was wearing thick leather jackets and armor, so their lethality was really limited.

Under the cover and interference of two hundred Mongolian teenagers, the two military battalions quickly advanced under the snow wall with the shields in their hands. Although many spearmen were hit by arrows, only a dozen people actually fell. .Even Lin Rui had an arrow stuck in his thigh, but he still endured the pain and continued to move forward as if nothing was wrong.

"Brothers, kill!"

"kill!"

Seeing Lin Ruidu's bravery, the other people who were hit by arrows but did not hurt their vital parts also endured the pain and raised their guns to stab the Tatars behind the snow wall regardless.

At this moment, the Tatars also threw away their bows and picked up their swords, but were forced back by the spears. Upon seeing this, Lin Rui immediately climbed over the snow wall and took the lead to rush towards the Tatars. The other sword and shield players also followed suit. They all followed suit, and then the pikemen also climbed over.

Not long after, the two sides were fighting in a complete melee. Although the Tatar men were not afraid of death and the women were all transformed into tigresses, there was a huge disparity between the two sides.

At the beginning, many Han soldiers were killed and injured. When the spearmen continued to join, the sword and shield soldiers began to defend. With the cooperation of both sides, the situation became one-sided.

A Tatar was stabbed to the ground by a spear and could not get up again. When all the adult Tatars were killed, the women finally broke down and ran away screaming, while the children hid in the tents and shivered. trembling.

The entire battle only lasted half a quarter of an hour. The 200 Mongolian teenagers outside were shocked to see that the battle was over so quickly. They all opened their mouths in shock. They were just beating the drum in their hearts and no longer dared to underestimate the Han soldiers.

They could see clearly just now that the more than 100 warriors from Aruke's tribe died in such a miserable way.

Most of the knives they swung struck the Han people's shields, and then they were stabbed to death by the Han people's spearmen. Even if they tried to save one life at all costs, they couldn't do it.

"Master Han, according to the rules on the grassland, children below the wheel cannot be killed..."

"Yes, you have gone too far. How can you kill children?"

When Namuzhong saw that Lin Rui and the others were already killing each other, except for women, they would kill everyone on sight. She also rushed over, hugged Lin Rui and said loudly in defiance.

The two hundred Mongolian teenagers also started to criticize.

"That's the rule of you Mongolians. My rule is that except for women, no men will be left!"

Lin Rui threw Namu Zhong away and said expressionlessly that the Mongols did not kill those below the wheel because of their small population, but they had more Han people.

"You, if you do this, you will arouse the public anger of other tribes and anger Changshengtian." Namu Zhong said anxiously.

"I only have a sense of propriety. Don't interfere. Didn't you already tell me that I was sent by Changshengtian? My rules are made in accordance with Changshengtian's will. How can I make Changshengtian angry?"

Lin Rui waved his hand.

Seeing that almost all of them had been killed, Namuzhong didn't want to get into trouble with Lin Rui, so she could only sigh.

The Mongolian teenagers all acquiesced after seeing Khan, and since it was their mortal enemy, the Khalkha tribe, they didn't say anything more.

But when he looked at Lin Rui, there was also a hint of awe in his eyes.

In the end, the entire Akru tribe was captured with more than 100 women of different ages. Lin Rui lost 45 of them to death and injured more than 100. Fortunately, most of them were only minor injuries.

Among the 45 who died in battle, half were shot to death by arrows while charging, and the others were hacked to death while jumping over a snow wall.

Without the snow wall blocking them, their casualties would have been even less. However, Lin Rui was already very satisfied with such a result in their first melee fight.

As for the casualties, it is unavoidable. After all, the opponent is not a lamb to be slaughtered, but the Mongolians who are brave enough to fight with weapons. This is winter, and there are 200 Mongolian teenagers shooting arrows to cover the interference. Otherwise, the Tatar arrows No, they may suffer even more casualties.
