Wuya was captured.
Yes, Wu Ya survived by chance thanks to her poor Chinese.
Although sixteen of the tribesmen who came out of the mountain with him died, Wu Ya survived.
Wuya was extremely grateful that his mother had always allowed him to learn Chinese. It could be said that his life had changed his destiny several times because of this special skill.
The first time was that a member of his own race took him out into the mountains. The reason was that Wu Ya was smart and the most important reason was that he could speak Chinese.
The second time he went to Xigeima with his tribe to sell skins and ginseng. Just because he could speak Chinese and communicate with the Han caravans opposite, he made a lot more profits than other tribes, and thus established prestige within the tribe.
Wu Ya was never the bravest person in the tribe, nor was he the one who hunted the most prey, but no one was more prestigious than Wu Ya, and that was the reason.
After that, Wu Ya came out of the mountains and joined the Han army.
At that time, the Han army in Liaodong adopted such an internal and external structure.
At the core are the tribes supported by the generals, then the soldiers on the frontier, and then the soldiers of the counties.
The above are all the masters of economics in the Han Dynasty.
In addition to these troops, there is also a large number of soldiers who are servants and disciples from tribes and villages. Sushen people from Changbai Mountain such as Wuya and others are often assigned to this section.
These four divisions of soldiers have different tasks on the battlefield.
Among them, servants and disciples are the most dangerous, and they are often called cannon fodder to fill the gap. Whenever there is a war, these people will be driven to the front line to attack the ravine on the opposite side.
Of course, the Han army generals did not expect these cannon fodder to seize enemy positions, but used these people to judge which side of the enemy was stronger and which side was weaker.
In other words, they are the ones who cast stones to ask for directions.
Of course, it would be better if the enemy's combat readiness can be exhausted and consumed in the process.
Whenever these people retreated, the Han generals knew where the battle strength was weak, and would ask the archers of the border army to drop more arrows at this place.
After a few rounds of arrows cover it, the armored troops belonging to the generals will directly attack here, often achieving the effect of a single blow.
But in the process, no one cared about the cannon fodder who served as a test.
When Wu Ya first joined the Han army, she was originally going to be included in it.
In fact, many Sushen tribe soldiers are quite brave, and their combat skills may be comparable to those of Han generals. Because these people, like the latter, rely on the bows and arrows in their hands to eat food in their mouths, so dancing with swords and archery is as instinctive as drinking water and eating.
But it is a pity that tribal warriors who are many times more brave than Wuya have been incorporated into these miscellaneous soldiers. It is not that the Han people do not know how powerful these people are, but they find that they cannot communicate with these people at all.
These aliens are completely unable to communicate and are extremely brave, so no matter which military leader they are, they can only let these people continue to be cannon fodder.
Therefore, it was precisely because of Wu Ya's language skills that when the soldiers died one after another, he was still alive and well.
And now, at the last moment of death, Wu Ya's Chinese language saved him again.
Now, although he was in a sorry state and his hands were tied, compared to those who were trampled to pulp by the cavalry, Wu Ya was already very satisfied.
But Wu Ya didn't dare to look behind him, because he always felt that the Han soldiers behind him were looking at his head intentionally or unintentionally, which put great pressure on Wu Ya. At this time, he actually started to envy those around him. Three of his subordinates.
These fools are beaming with joy at having survived.
In order to escape the pressure, Wu Ya took the initiative to talk to the Han soldier:
"My lord, I don't know where we are going now."
Guan Ping was on his way when he heard the Sushen man speak and replied lightly:
"Go where you belong."
Wu Ya was so frightened when she thought about it that she couldn't help but shudder.
At this time, the old man's voice came from behind again, and he laughed and said:
"Don't ask around when you shouldn't. It's no good!"
Wu Ya only felt that these words were inexplicably familiar, and it took a moment to realize that these were the words he and his tribesmen had reprimanded before.
But now things have changed.
Regardless of the sadness, Wu Ya quickly betrayed a piece of information:
"Noble man, don't be like this. I'm useful. I know where the Liaodong Army's food is. We can go and burn it!"
At this time, Guan Ping suddenly turned his head, his eyes glowing, and asked word by word:
"You must not coax me, otherwise you will not survive!"
Wu Ya was frightened by this terrifying look and subconsciously said:
"I was just talking nonsense."
But when he saw Guan Ping's eyes becoming more fierce, he quickly changed his tone:
"Wuya knows, knows."
……
Ma Dai felt tired, not because he was tired from the military expedition, but because his brother Ma Chao left alone again.
At this time, outside a camp with flames blazing into the sky, Ma Dai was breathing heavily and anxiously looking for the shadow of his brother Ma Chao among the cavalry.
After crossing the river today, the king suddenly dispersed all the Hengli generals and asked each of them to bring a dozen cavalry to penetrate the rear of the Liaodong Army.
After he and Ma Chao joined forces, they had twenty Wuhuan servants and horsemen and ten horsemen and infantry. Among these people, the horsemen and infantry all wore iron armor, while the Wuhuan servants were all equipped with leather armor.
After pacifying the Daling River Valley, the Taishan Army surrendered a large number of Wuhuan tribes. Originally, Zhang Chong and other upper-level military generals thought that the Wuhuan people would resist fiercely. But after Liucheng was broken, these Wuhuan people surrendered without any burden.
This allowed Zhang Chong to harvest a large number of cattle and horses, and also recruit a Wuhuan servant group of tens of thousands.
And now, under the leadership of General Hengchang, these people began to carry out the mission of harassing behind enemy lines.
After Ma Dai and Ma Chao joined forces, they smoothly penetrated into the rear of the Liaodong Army, and the enemy's resistance was very weak.
It's just that their manpower is still low. Ma Dai and his brother can often only defeat some small teams, and can only harass larger camps.
In the end, they could only get in touch with the nearby brothers Pao Ze and prepare to join forces again and do something big.
Now, there is only a little time before the brothers' troops arrive, but Ma Dai can't find his brother.
Finally, Ma Dai saw Ma Chao's figure in a tent, and then quickly ran over with Wuhuan's servants.
When Ma Dai arrived, Ma Chao was looking through the documents of the camp's military officials in the tent.
After seeing Ma Dai coming, Ma Chao asked:
"Song Jing is here?"
Song Jing is a colleague of Ma Chao and one of the generals. He comes from the Song family in Guangping, Hebei, which can be regarded as a small wealthy family.
Ma Dai originally wanted to speak, but after being asked by Ma Chao, he forgot about it and hurriedly replied:
"Come on, we agreed before to gather at this camp. It's just that we both attacked this camp together. Now that we have taken it, Lao Song will probably think that we have stolen the credit again, and he will probably be unhappy."
Ma Chao snorted and said contemptuously:
"If it's not fast, then it's not fast. Let's give him a big reward soon and see if he can explode the assassin?"
Seeing the stupidity in Ma Dai's eyes, Ma Chao decided not to say any more.
Unlike his stupid brother, Ma Chao not only understood why they divided their forces, but also understood what the king's true intention was.
In fact, Ma Chao had already discovered the disadvantages of this battle, or it was weird.
When the king ordered the entire army to cross the Xiaoliao River, he did not decide on the formation of each battalion on the scheduled battlefield. Originally, everyone thought that this would be issued only when the entire army had completely crossed the Xiaoliao River.
But after the king's banner passed the Xiaoliao River, the expected formation list was still not sent to the camp leaders.
At that time, Ma Chao understood that the king might need to change his style of play.
Thanks to the efforts of the engineering battalion last night, the entire army had crossed the Xiaoliao River before the Liaodong Army could react, thus winning the initiative on the battlefield.
If we follow the past style of play, that is, form a large formation and press them side by side for a decisive battle. In this process, the initiative that was originally seized will be lost, and in the end we will still have to fight in vain.
So the best way is for each battalion to march directly into the battlefield and catch the Liaodong Army before they can react.
To put it bluntly, this is to fight with the fast and the slow. If you go straight up, it will be a mess of punches.
And sure enough, the king really thought so. He directly asked Hengchang, who had the command ability, to bring a small number of troops to penetrate into the enemy's rear and continuously attack the Liaodong Army's supply line.
This change in tactics was a huge success.
When the central army of the Liaodong Army was still receiving delayed news, they thought that the Taishan Army was preparing a large formation for a decisive battle with him after crossing the river. The Taishan Army had already divided into countless tentacles and directly attacked their rear.
On the front, where the Liaodong Army prepared to prepare for the battlefield, the Taishan Army used three battalions of assault cavalry to push against the wall and sweep away the enemies on the road.
This caused confusion among all the Liaodong Army units. They reported one after another that they had encountered the main force of the Taishan Army and wanted reinforcements.
How did Ma Chao know this?
Well, the military report in his hand showed all this exactly.
And this gave Ma Chao a bold idea!
He wants a big one!
……
Deep in the hilly land on the edge of Changbai Mountain.
It's still the same tent area, and it's still the same tent of the Chinese army. There are a lot fewer generals here.
Gongsun Du didn't get angry again this time, because no matter how much anger he had, he would have exhausted it long ago.
At this time, on his desk, letters for help from various battalions were piled up everywhere.
These people all told him that they had encountered the main force of the enemy army. Not only were they unable to assemble at the designated battlefield, but they also had to ask Gongsun Du for reinforcements.
When he first received the first military report, Gongsun Du was very happy, thinking that the main force of the enemy army had finally appeared.
Just when he was about to dispatch other battalions to support him, he received another such military report.
Gongsun Du was immediately furious, thinking that he had been deceived.
But when more and more such military reports came over, Gongsun Du did not dare to be angry anymore. He started to sit down and think about what was going on.
After some thinking, Gongsun Du finally made a certain decision.
So he suddenly stood up and gave this order to the generals of the Gongsun family who were still in the tent.
As a result, the whole audience was in an uproar, then fell silent, and finally sang in unison.
I wish my family a Happy New Year and may you achieve great things in the new year! ah! ah!
