Chapter 308 The winner is king

Fewer than a thousand Huns, trapped in the defense line of the walled city, broke through.

Among them, Mouton was also injured by the crossbow arrows. If the guards desperately took him out of the battlefield and there were horses outside the city to support him, I am afraid that the Zuo Xian King Mouton would die here.

There were more than 7,000 casualties in the servicing of the Huns, while the Qin Army killed only 300 casualties.

An unexpected surprise was that after the Xiongnu dismounted and broke through the siege, more than four thousand war horses were left in the city...

This is a high-quality Huns warhorse. Usually, Qin people traded dozens of catties of tin, copper and other metals in exchange for one at the border, and the horses they got in exchange were still bad Huns.

Even so, these Huns and bad horses could still sell for a good price if they were shipped to the Central Plains.

Of course, Shen Bing would not use these horses to sell them. He was worried about expanding the Shenwu Army to have no horses available. He didn't expect the Xiongnu to send them to himself.

In addition, the Qin army captured more than a thousand Huns.

The capture of the Huns is rare.

This is not to say that the Huns are brave and good at fighting... In fact, the Huns are really brave and good at fighting, but they don’t have the idea of ​​“preferring jade to pieces than to complete”. Will choose to surrender.

The reason why the Huns captives are rare is because the Huns burned, killed and looted for many years, and all the countries in the Central Plains hated them, so they usually did not leave a living on the battlefield.

Even the northern soldiers led by Li Mu were the same.

The Huns also knew this, so they in turn made them not dare to surrender... Anyway, it's all death, it's better to fight on the battlefield.

The more than a thousand Huns captured this time were really frightened because they were trapped in the defense line of the walled city.

After Shen Bing visited the Jiazhai battlefield, he understood why these Huns chose to surrender:

The corpses piled up like a mountain in the two city walls of A and B. Some people also had horses, falling in a pool of blood in various positions, each with several crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies.

Some of the injured have not yet died, and while struggling, they cast horrified gazes at the surroundings... The Huns’ will to survive is so strong that many injured are still trying to crawl outside the walled city, seemingly trying to do the last thing. Strength broke through.

However, this will obviously not be useful.

Soon, Qin soldiers grabbed his hair and wiped his back and forth with a bronze sword on his neck. A head that was still screaming in pain was cut off.

Shen Bing was extremely uncomfortable with this picture, but he knew it could not be changed.

The Qin army used the enemy's first rank to discuss military exploits, and it was impossible to waste precious healing tapes or medicines on these wounded soldiers... Therefore, if you want to keep these Xiongnu wounded alive, you must first challenge and overthrow the Qin Law.

The Hun captive, who was squatting on the other side, was controlled and didn't feel anything to see this scene.

This is normal for them, and if they win this battle, they will treat wounded prisoners in the same way, even in internal wars.

The reason why these prisoners did not continue to flee was because the empty space between the two walled cities was filled with the corpses of people and horses, and there were also ropes that lay across the walled cities... Knowing that it is impossible to escape alive.

Wei Wei and his old man were originally soldiers of the State of Wei, and the State of Wei did not border the Xiongnu, so although he heard that the Xiongnu was strong, they never fought with them. Now they won the first battle with a sense of spirit.

So he expressed his condolences to Shen Bingdao:

"General, what shall I do with these prisoners?"

Shen Bing didn't know how to answer.

Wei Wei's question was actually unnecessary. The Hun captives were sent to do hard labor and not many people were willing to... The hard labor of the Huns was extremely difficult, and they rebelled if they found a gap. The world running around can no longer be caught.

Therefore, the normal procedure is undoubtedly cut.

However, this is more than a thousand people...More than a thousand people fall to the ground with one sentence, which is easy to say but difficult to do.

However, as soon as he saw Fusu who was pale in fright next to him, Shen Bing had an idea, and he arched his hands towards Fusu:

"My son thinks how should I deal with these prisoners?"

Shen Bing kicked the ball to Fusu, but he was the son of Qin. It was common sense for him to decide, and because of Fusu's character, he would definitely not execute prisoners.

Sure enough, Fusu replied:

"It's better to send these prisoners to Handan for the king's disposal."

"This can also show the general's first battle. What does the general think?"

Shen Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"Just as the son said, send the captives to Handan."

But of course, before sending the prisoners, Shen Bing had to send a quick horse to send the report.

Shen Bing first praised the Huns fiercely, and then said how the Northern Army bravely defeated the invading Huns.

The final point is:

"The subordinates are worried that the Xiongnu's coming offense is just a test, and the Central Plains grain will be cooked in the next few months or there may be a big battle."

"In the North, the manpower resources are all in a hurry, especially the copper and iron ore used to make arrows and agricultural tools. Hope the king will reinforce it."

As soon as Ying Zheng heard that Shen Bingcai had won the battle shortly after taking office, Long Xin was rejoiced, and immediately waved his hand and ordered:

"Double the copper and iron ore sent to Yunzhong County."

"As for the manpower... and another 10,000 labor!"

Zhao Gao persuaded from the side:

"My lord, if you send 10,000 labor, I am afraid that the grain and grass sent to Yunzhong County..."

Ying Zheng gave an "Oh" and replied without thinking:

"Double the food and grass!"

Zhao Gao said:

"My lord, but I don't have enough food and grass, so how can I..."

Ying Zheng answered:

"It's okay, you can borrow grain from the people first and repay it twice after the harvest."

"Yunzhong County is an important entry point, and Baoyunzhong County can protect the Central Plains from the Huns' looting without losing it."

"The people are also duty-bound."

Zhao Gao said again:

"But the king, according to the Yanmen County Detention Center, Shen Bing did not strictly guard the entry points, and the Xiongnu can still go south around Yunzhong County."

"Shen Bing's move is timidly hesitant..."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but laughed:

"If you are timid, how can you kill seven thousand enemies and capture one thousand?"

"Shen Bing's move is really indulgent because he wanted to capture it!"

There is a black line on Zhao Gao's forehead.

He quickly understood that "victory is the last word", and it is untenable to restrict him or say anything bad when Shen Bing wins.

So Zhao Gao didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly changed his tone to agree.

Whether this is the case is actually only Shen Bing knows.

However, it is not wrong to say that this was Shen Bing's strategy to scare the Huns back, because Tou Mandan was frightened at the first time. He sighed when he visited Mao:

"If the Qin people in Yunzhong County had these methods to deal with my iron cavalry, then how could the Qin people in the Central Plains be missing?"

"In this way, how can I wait to looting south?"
