Chapter 90 It’s all yours! (2)
Leading the soldiers was Zhang Xin’s strong point. He didn’t believe that this guard of Lin Qing also had this ability. Hence, he wanted to try her abilities. If she was unable to lead, he would take that chance and turn his back on her and lead all the soldiers back to the northwest and back to the imperial capital. However, he had never expected that this person was more terrifying than he had imagined. Not only did they enter the territory of the Xiongnu with their men and horses, they even slaughtered a Xiongnu’s tribe.
Moreover, the strategy was reeking of blood and not tasteful. This “not tasteful” didn’t refer to Zhao Zimu’s method of using fire to attack in the middle of the night. Everyone who knew how to employ soldiers knew how to use this method. This “not tasteful” was referring to that she ordered two thousand people to attack when the Xiongnu’s vigilance was at the lowest and their fighting strength was the weakest, and halfway in the battle, she sent the rest of the people over. Such strategy of two to three strong men beating one, how could they not win?
It was like a fight between two people. First of all, have a fair fight of one-on-one. But when one side was already weaker and the two sides have fought that so much that they had lost rationality, suddenly the stronger side added more energetic people to the fight. Even if it was only one against two, how could one fight? It was better to kill oneself with the sword.
This tribe had about two thousand people. In fact, there were less than one thousand young people with full combat effectiveness. So, Zhao Zimu’s side had a bit more than four times the people than the Xiongnu.
In order to lessen the casualties, Zhao Zimu naturally wouldn’t let all these people fight desperately. When the purpose of the training was achieved, she would end the battle with the least casualties and at the fastest speed. Only people whose brain was disabled would want a fair one-on-one battle with the enemy.
Zhao Zimu’s brain was not disabled, so, that person’s brain was disabled.
When the battle was over, the soldiers felt uncomfortable being looked at by Zhao Zimu and they were even a bit dazed.
What was going on? Why did this superior look at them with such weird eyes? They had already completed the task according to his orders. Shouldn’t he praise them and remember their credit? But why did he look at them with a kind of silent helplessness?
Even Zhang Xin was a bit puzzled. Could it be that he finally felt that his method was a bit mean? And regretted it?
Zhao Zimu shook her head and then looked once at these old and young ones. Someone was sent to find someone who knew the Han language among these old and young ones, trying everything in a desperate situation. She also had no other way, because no one on their side could speak the Xiongnu language.
- The people of Great Liang were probably Han Chinese
Fortunately, among the remaining people, there happened to be a Xiongnu who knew how to speak Han and asked him if there was any news of a Han troop roaming on the grassland. As a result, that Xiongnu cried and asked them, were they not?
This person has never seen such a brutal Han army before, how could he not be scared?
Yue Shi who did the inquiring was taken aback for a moment and looked at Zhao Zimu in distress. It seemed that this Xiongnu didn’t know any news about Lin Qing. Zhao Zimu also could only give up.
Zhang Xin asked her whether to leave immediately. It looked like he was giving her all the rights to command these imperial soldiers. There was nothing to be done about it. This battle was won under the leadership of Zhao Zimu and she also had the qualifications to ask for recognition from these soldiers who had won the battle. If he didn’t do this, he would be too ignorant of the current affairs.
Zhao Zimu looked once at them again. Then, she shook her head. Zhang Xin was shocked. He said to himself that he (ZZ) still didn’t want to leave, but the fighting and the flames of just now have probably alerted the other Xiongnus. If they don’t leave, they might be discovered by other Xiongnus. Could it be that this one would still make the low-level mistake of staying to rest and then being discovered by the other Xiongnus.
Zhao Zimu swept once over them and then swept over the seven to eight yurts of the Xiongnu that had fallen apart. She said, “Those who wants to get rich, take all the belongings that you can take away, but you are not allowed to snatch from each other and fight. You have to move fast. As long as you win, all the things of the Xiongnu who were defeated by you will be your spoils of the war. Belongings, women, jewels, all is yours!”
After Zhao Zimu finished speaking, everyone’s eyes changed, changed to bloodshot, greedy and more infinite desire and fighting spirit!
These imperial soldiers rarely went to battle, let alone wining such a big victory. In the past, they could only think about such things. Now, not only did they go into battle, they even won. Also, they were told by their superior that the enemy’s belongings were their possessions!
How could these guys not get excited?!
With bloodshot eyes, the soldiers who were gestured by Zhao Zimu rushed into the yurts of the Xiongnu like a group of ferocious wolves.
Even Zhang Xin’s eyes were bloodshot. Zhang Xin’s scalp was numb under Zhao Zimu’s eyes with an inexplicable smile.
Can he participate or not?
