Chapter 226: Post-War Cleanup

Liu Cang's slave soldiers were not able to participate in the battle from beginning to end. Until the battle was over and the prisoners were collected, the wolf army was all covered in blood and they were still squatting in the rear.

Facing soldiers, wild wolves have limited lethality. A fierce barbarian can kill three or five wild wolves. But if wolf soldiers are added to the mix, the result will be obvious.

The wolf army's battle is easy, they don't have to fight the enemy head-on, they can just catch the enemy bitten by the wolf with long-handled swords and spears.

Send people to the rear to summon slave soldiers. The Flying Bear Battalion spreads out around the battlefield to prevent accidents. The slave soldiers lead a large number of livestock back to the team and enter the battlefield to clean up the battlefield.

In the end, we still faced the failure of arrows. Although ferocious beasts are ferocious, humans also have the advantage of using weapons and tools. On this frontal battlefield with cold weapons, unprotected ferocious tigers will inevitably suffer casualties.

Hundreds of tigers were killed and wounded, and more than 3,000 wild wolves were killed. Among raptors, vultures were less agile in flying, and hawks and falcons suffered only a few casualties. However, when the vultures pounced on the enemy, more than 200 were killed by counterattacks.

After losing the advantage of high altitude, the ability of the eagles to withstand attacks was too weak. After this battle, Liu Cang also discovered that without an absolute numerical advantage, these eagles were not suitable for group battles.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to let them assist individual soldiers in conducting sneak attacks.

There were many casualties among the ferocious beasts, and hundreds of people were killed by the wolf army in the battle, but there were also very fortunate things.

Faced with this group of rebels, no one in the Flying Bear Battalion was injured.

The harassment by tigers and wolves was indispensable, but it has to be said that Liu Cang trained his men a little abnormally.

The key to this loss-free performance is not only the huge strength and excellent armor, but also the strong endurance of the Flying Bear Camp.

The powerful force allowed them to break out when the ghosts and gods broke out, but in the chaos of the army, they continued this explosion until the wolves invaded.

When thousands of wolves fought with the enemy at close range, the tiger beasts also showed their ferocity and cunning. Afterwards, even the casualties of the tiger beasts were greatly reduced, but it was much easier to destroy the enemy.

.

When Guo Bang, who was good at tracking, found Liu Cang's whereabouts, he saw wild wolves and some vultures leaping and walking on the battlefield filled with dead bodies with their sinister postures.

Facing the group of panting cavalry and tigers gathered around Liu Cang, Guo Si murmured "red tiger" to himself. He had two thousand elite cavalry under his command, but he did not dare to approach Liu Cang's position for a long time.

The wet hair was dyed red with blood. The tigers lay prone beside the general, either gnawing on the dead horse, licking their paws, or quietly observing the surroundings.

After this battle, whether it was a psychological effect or something else, the fear of these ferocious tigers in the Flying Bear Camp was greatly reduced, and these ferocious tigers did not seem to care about getting close to the Fei Xiong Camp.

The red tiger represents evil and revenge in Di Qiang mythology. What is strange is that many Di Qiang also worship the symbol of evil. Even among the long water cavalry led by Guo Bin at this time, there were many people who had twinkling eyes and worshiped them in awe.

.

"General~General~!" A lightly dressed scribe next to Guo Si woke up Guo Si, who was in a daze.

The horses in the army were restless, because Liu Cang had already galloped towards them on the opposite side, and around Liu Cang's strong horse, there were also malicious tigers strolling around.

Killer tigers are very different from captive tigers, and even ordinary people can intuitively tell the difference from their facial expressions.

With ferocious tiger heads and striking eyes and white foreheads, after a fight, the sense of ferocity these ferocious tigers bring to people increases rapidly.

"Your Highness~! Guo Si is late to respond, please atone for your sins!" the scribe reminded. Guo Si suddenly realized and shouted to Liu Cang from a distance. The blood-stained tigers made his eyelids twitch.

The tiger group was stationed in the battlefield, and the slave soldiers on the battlefield had begun to gain ground. The tanks needed a rest. Liu Cang was riding a great Dawan horse at this time, galloping across the battlefield with hissing wind, gradually pulling out the horses. Liu Cang was accompanied by several people.

Immediately march in front of Guo Si's army.

"What's going on? Is there something unexpected in the army?" Liu Cang asked Guo Si.

Tianshui and Qinchuan counties were not occupied by the rebels. The rebels retreated to the west of Tianshui, which was barely within the scope of the government troops' recovery.

It was already strange that Marquis Li Wen came here to ambush him, but Guo Si also came with a large group of cavalry. Liu Cang couldn't help asking about the situation in Zhang Wen's army.

"There are no obstacles in the army. Recently, many powerful people from Liangzhou have gone to the army to meet His Highness. Some have repaid their righteousness and have gathered troops from Hu to attack His Highness. However.

"

"Your Highness is brave, and your subordinates are also brave. I am afraid that Huang Zhongyi will be defeated by Hu Ji, Your Highness." Guo Bang looked around in confusion as he spoke, and said respectfully to Liu Cang.

It's a bit scary. Killing the Yi Conghu is nothing, but with the situation on the battlefield in front of us, it's not difficult to confirm that this is a battle of annihilation.

Don't you say that people in the Central Plains are polite and polite? Look at these guys who are soaked in blood, we Liangzhou people are much more polite than you.

Liu Cang asked in detail, and Guo Si explained that since Liu Cang drove the beasts out of Liangzhou, the rebels had lost a large number of soldiers.

Especially after the two dangerous areas with rich soil and water were cleared and developed, even Yi Conghu heard voices asking for peace and surrender.

Huangzhong is close to Qinghai Lake, where the Di and Qiang are powerful, and the land of the Hu people in Yicong is also rich in land. However, precisely because of the rich water and soil, Huangzhong is often disturbed by Di and Qiang fires, and there are also conflicts with the surrounding Xiliang powerful forces.

To put it bluntly, Huang Zhongyi Conghu's rebellion was not a so-called national uprising at all. It was entirely caused by the local people who couldn't do it, couldn't defend their homeland, and then simply invaded the Han region.

To put it pitifully, they want to find another place to breed. To put it more realistically, they probably think that the people here are easier to bully and want to come here to grab a piece of rich land.

No matter what Li Wenhou wanted, Yi Conghu would not run away if he wanted a place to rest and recuperate.

Liangzhou has a bitter cold, and the rich and fertile land has either been occupied by local powerful people, or it is a dangerous place where ferocious beasts are difficult to eradicate.

But it has to be said that Liangzhou now also has many fertile mountains and forests, including some oases in the Gobi. These places are mostly home to wild animals.

Now that Liu Cang was able to drive the ferocious beasts to develop and clean up these areas, it was obvious that compared to plundering the Han lands and fighting the government and the army, many of the rebel soldiers thought it would be easier to just surrender and pray for a fertile pasture.

When the leaders of the rebel army had a headache, they also angered Li Wenhou, the leader of Yi Conghu, and to clean up the disharmony in the army, Li Wenhou's troops entered Qinchuan, killing and hiding along the way, preparing to wipe out Liu Cang's beast herd.

It would be best to kill Liu Cang. Even if he ran away, his pack of wolves and beasts would have to be wiped out. And after hearing that Liu Cang gathered a large number of livestock to accompany him, Li Wenhou felt that this trip would not be a loss.

As for what happened next, he rushed to stab Liu Cang, but Liu Yuan stabbed him cautiously.

After the war here, even Guo Bang, who was a horse bandit, felt chilled when he saw wild wolves dragging corpses, vultures stealing food, and wolverines playing on the red sand.

Broken limbs and broken arms can be seen everywhere, broken legs and dead horses pile up in mountains, and people whose heads and faces have been torn off by animal claws are everywhere.

"Your Highness, do you need to surrender the prisoners?" Guo Si asked Liu Cang after telling him about the situation in the army.

The boundaries of the battlefield can no longer be distinguished, and hoarse cries for mercy can be heard from time to time. These are the defeated soldiers who dare not flee because of the roaming wolves, and can only lie on the ground begging for their lives.

"The people here have been massacred, kill them all." Looking around, Liu Cang said coldly, seeing that more than a thousand rebels were gathering as usual.

"Here!" Guo Si responded. He was about to let the soldiers massacre him, but the scribes on the side stopped him.

"Your Highness, Yi Conghu may surrender. These people have great respect for you. Now that there is no shortage of food, it would be a pity to kill him like this." The scribe persuaded, attracting Liu Cang's attention.

"Really? Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe?" Liu Cang was surprised, and the scribe's expression was slightly astonished.
