The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 426 Snow White Blood Red

Jia Lian is not in a hurry to attack now, he is waiting for the enemy to surrender.

According to Jia Min's point of view, war is of course to destroy the enemy.However, it doesn't have to be all physically eliminated.Just destroy the enemy's force.

The main purpose of this battle is to recover South Wendura.If some people are not killed, the Sidwa people will naturally not give up South Wendura.

However, it would not be a good thing for Bu Kui if nearly [-] Sidwa people were killed.

The Sidwa people here are almost all the strong and strong of their tribe. If they all die here, their power in North Wendura will be greatly weakened.

Naturally, the Votel and Wali Valley tribes would step in and annex the Sidwa tribe.

In this way, on the North Wendula grassland, the two of them will form a dominance situation.This is very detrimental to the pacification of North Wendura in the future.

Therefore, not to kill them all, but to keep some people and let them return to North Wendura in the future is the most beneficial result for Bu Kui.

Of course, if those who surrender want to go back, they also need to pay a corresponding price.Paying tribute and captive ransom is essential.

However, this time, Jia Min's plan was not to collect money in the name of tribute.

Since it is a tribute, it belongs to the imperial court and will be handed over to the imperial court in the future.Even if you want to stay on your own, you have to agree with the court.

This time, he planned to ask for the money under another name. In the future, he would keep the money for himself and not hand it over to the court.

In the future, North Wendura will be pacified, and he will also adopt this method.

It would be nice to take back the land for you, it's still for Chang'an's sake.As for the money, hey, old emperor, let’s get rid of it.

If I don’t get some money back for the equipment and soldiers I trained with my own money, wouldn’t I be a fool?
Of course, Jia Lian didn't know about Jia Min's long-term plan.Not only Jia Lian, but others also don't know.At present, this is still Jia Min's own secret.

This secret, he can't tell Biren yet, he is afraid that others will be frightened by his thoughts.

The Fubingtuan's fight was unhurried, and for Batu, every moment was a torment.

A few more charges were organized, but they all returned without success.

Now, as long as the Bukui people attack, his entire army will be wiped out.However, the opponent still did not rush to attack, and even the offensive weakened.

However, as long as you want to escape, the opponent will fight resolutely.What Batu feels now is that the other party is teasing him, treating himself like a plaything.

Now, my own men, plus Meng Ge's men, together, there are nearly 800 people.

Although there seemed to be quite a few people, these people had no horses, no decent arrows, and even if they dragged on, they had no hope of winning.The only result is to be slowly killed one by one by the opponent.

Looking at his subordinates huddled together in fear, and remembering that their parents, wives and children were waiting for them to go back, Batu not only let out a long sigh.

Forget it, surrender and leave a way for these children.

Surrender is very simple, but a matter of a few words.Reorganize the captives and gather them together.Just wait for the containment team behind to pick it up.Then he was sent to Erdaojiang, and then from Erdaojiang to Bukui for custody.

The soldiers of the Fu Corps began to collect the horses that ran out on the grassland.

The Tatars now have nothing of value.The more valuable yurts have all been burned down, and only the war horses are the most valuable thing left.

These war horses are all fine-bred horses, so the Fubingtuan naturally couldn't let them go.

The Battle of Qingshichuan started at 03:30 and ended at 06:30, and lasted three hours. More than 200 Tatars were killed, many of whom were burned to death.

On the side of the Fu Corps, 23 people were killed, 18 were seriously injured, and 16 were slightly injured, and they won a complete victory.

Until now, Niu Jizong has not recalled it.

This is the end?This is the victory?These dejected Tatars who surrendered were the ones who beat our 15 army like dogs?
how can that be?It's only been a few months, less than a year, how can there be such a big change?
How could the Tatars, who were so powerful and invincible back then, be so vulnerable under the command of the Fubingtuan?
People like Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, and Qin Zhong were not as good as me back then.Jia Qiao had to nod and bow when he saw me.Sentenced to exile, he is a prisoner, and now he is so majestic.

How did all this happen?Is it all because of Jia Min?

After a day and night of heavy snowfall, it finally stopped.The sky cleared, and the sun rose from the east of the grassland.

Hundreds of millions of rays of sunlight shone on the vast snowfield, reflecting dazzling rays of light.

A group of officers followed Jia Lian and approached the original camp of the Tatars.

Here, only ruins remain.

The snow around the camp was blackened by falling dust.However, the range is not too large, and a little further outside is thick snow.

On the snow, there are messy footprints and horseshoe prints.Next to the footprints, you can often see the reddish snow.

Snow is white, blood is red, snow is white and blood is red.

The captives silently picked up the corpses of their companions under the supervision of the Fubingtuan.More Fubing regiment soldiers were talking and laughing relaxedly.

A big pot has been set up over there, and cooking has started. It won't take long before you can have a hot meal.

A long line of troops meandered from the east, which was the follow-up troops of the Fubing Regiment.

Jia Lian led the officers to meet him.He wanted Chief Min to report the results of the Battle of Qingshichuan.

The victory in the Battle of Qingshichuan opened the prelude to the recovery of the South Wendura Grassland. The first line of defense of the Sidwa people was breached, and the gate to the South Wendura Grassland has been opened.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, according to the scheduled time, Jia Min led the main force of the government army to Qingshichuan and joined Jia Lian's regiment.

At this time, there is no need to covertly act, so I bury the pot and cook.

Wei Ruoshui's 200-member direct unit set out early after the Battle of Qingshichuan to clear the patrols and checkpoints along the way.

The regiments dispatched horse-drawn mopping boards and began to clear the snow on the road to clear the way for the army that would move out later.

The containment team took the prisoners and escorted them to the rear.

Two hours later, the entire Fubing regiment set off.

Feng Zijing's Division of the Second Regiment went to Xiaobeihe to attack the two thousand-man teams there.

Chen Yeqing's third regiment went to Hongshilazi to attack the two thousand-man teams there.

The Zhao Dahai Department of the Fourth Regiment went straight to Baoyinqiu and attacked a thousand-man team and three hundred-man team there.

Jia Min and Princess Chang'an followed Jia Lian's regiment and went straight to Horseshoe Mountain.When they got there, they restrained Xi Mairui's five thousand-man troops, waited for other troops to arrive, and carried out the final encirclement and annihilation.

Shi Liu led a battalion and rushed to Beifengkou, where he intercepted the Sidwa people who were trying to escape back to North Wendura.

General He Shen led Wang Ziteng's Beijing camp soldiers and horses to take the south side and secretly marched towards the three-eyed well, encircling and annihilating the four Sidwa thousands-man teams there.

This time, Jia Min led the army to advance on the main road from Bu Kui to South Wendura.

There is also a road 110 miles south of this main road, almost parallel to this main road.

In the past, Bu Kui controlled South Vendura's strategic materials from time to time, which triggered an underground economy that lasted for many years, that is, the smuggling of various strategic materials.

Most of these smuggled substances took the southern road.Therefore, people on the prairie habitually call this road the Nanshang Road.

The South Commercial Road is not just for smuggling goods, it is also a main channel for nomadic herdsmen in the southern part of the South Vendura Grassland.

In fact, the original function of this road was a nomadic migration road, and it was used as a smuggling business road, which was actually a later thing.

At this time, the Beijing camp team led by General He Shen was on this southern commercial road.

Starting at [-] o'clock last night, they set off from Erdaojiang. After a day and a night of marching, they now arrived at a place called Daliushu.

This place got its name because of a big willow tree that is said to be 800 years old.

There are still 120 miles away from the Three Eyes Well, and the estimated marching time is six hours.

After a day and night of marching, He Shenjiang verified many things he had learned in Bukui.

The most obvious of these are two.

One is the calculation and use of time.Another thing is a map.

As a general, He Shenjiang had a pocket watch very early on.

It was given to him by her sister.

The Wang family was an official in charge of overseas trade in the early years, and there were many things from the West in the family, pocket watches were one of them.

Although there is a pocket watch, but in many cases, it is just a plaything, and it is still used for daily timekeeping.

It was only after Bu Kui received training that his team began to use Western time for timekeeping.

The marching route and marching process this time were all designed by Jia Qin, assistant to Chief of Staff Feng.

The speed of the march, when and where it will arrive are all planned in advance.

At the beginning, He Shenjiang wondered whether it could be so accurate, and could there be no accidents on the road?
When he walked down, he realized that this itinerary was too accurate.

Walking down the road, it was almost a pinch.

This couldn't help but shock him.

He had never seen this kind of pre-planning ability before.

Another thing that opened his eyes was the map.

He had seen and used maps before.

However, the previous maps were all rough outlines.In many cases, it is far from the actual situation.Some even go the other way.

However, the map Jia Qin gave him was completely different.

Not only distances, roads, rivers, markers, etc. are very clear, but also extremely accurate.Even the height of a mound is marked.

As for those small fork in the road, there is not a single omission.

Needless to say, we all know that to draw such a map, it takes a lot of effort in advance.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the team set off.

After five hours of marching, they will arrive at a place twenty miles away from the Three Eyes Well at one o'clock in the middle of the night. After rest and preparations, they will launch an attack on the four Tatar Thousands at Three Eyes Well at three o'clock tomorrow morning. .

Looking at his orderly team, He Shenjiang couldn't help muttering to himself.

This team is very different from before, and it is ready to fight.
