Chapter 635

The blood had long since dyed the lamellar armor red.

Of course, not all Southern Xiongnu soldiers were so stubborn.

Those who knelt and surrendered were also not in the minority.

Zhang Liao didn't intend to execute all of this portion of Southern Xiongnu soldiers.

The various large-scale projects planned by Gu Yi all required manpower to be done.

But if all those projects were handed over to Han commoners to do, I'm afraid it would toss them to death.

Gu Yi couldn't bear it, and was unwilling to hand over this heavy work to the Han commoners under his governance.

But foreign tribes were different.

Weren't these captured Southern Xiongnu people equivalent to natural labor?

Therefore.

Zhang Liao didn't kill them all.

Instead, he quickly captured all these Southern Xiongnu people who were about to serve as free coolies.

This battle could be described as having a rich harvest.

And immediately after.

Zhang Liao set his sights on the Southern Xiongnu royal court.

This time Poor Huchuquan went south, he only brought about half the number of Southern Xiongnu troops.

That is to say, in the Southern Xiongnu royal court, there were still quite a few Southern Xiongnu people.

If these Southern Xiongnu people were also captured, the results would definitely be called a bumper harvest!

And Seeing Xun You's thinking was much the same as Zhang Liao's.

Especially after learning the truth about his father's death, the blackened Seeing Xun You became even more ruthless than before!

He needed slaughter to release the hatred in his heart.

The two hit it off immediately.

Soon, they used Poor Huchuquan's order to mobilize more soldiers from the Southern Xiongnu royal court to go south to support.

I have to say, Poor Huchuquan, this Great Chanyu, was truly a combat-level pit-faller.

His rule within the Southern Xiongnu, compared to the neighbor Bu Du Gen, was far superior in prestige.

But this point, if placed in normal times, might be considered a good thing.

But now, it became the catalyst for the demise of the Southern Xiongnu!

The Southern Xiongnu royal court that received Poor Huchuquan's order never thought that this was a conspiracy of the Han army.

After all.

Their Great King Poor Huchuquan would indeed do things like mobilizing more soldiers from within the royal court to rush to the front line to assist.

Thus.

Those few Southern Xiongnu ten-thousand-man commanders guarding the royal court fell into the trap of Seeing Xun You and Zhang Liao just like that.

Soon, they encountered Zhang Liao's painful strike!

An even more "old fox" behavior was.

Before Zhang Liao raided that group of Southern Xiongnu soldiers, he specially brought out the captured Poor Huchuquan for them to see.

In this way, the group of Southern Xiongnu soldiers who saw Poor Huchuquan captured were instantly shrouded in astonishment!

Morale?

What kind of morale was left?

Didn't they see their own boss had been captured?

Thus, the subsequent battle more quickly presented a one-sided posture.

That group of Southern Xiongnu soldiers completely became Zhang Liao's experience packs.

And the remaining military strength within the Southern Xiongnu royal court also became less and less.

Finally.

When there were less than thirty thousand standing troops left within the royal court.

Zhang Liao led the Han army to launch a general offensive toward the inside of the royal court!

Still the old method.

Before the war started, Zhang Liao still dragged out the captured Poor Huchuquan first.

In front of the public, he let the group of Southern Xiongnu soldiers inside the royal court take a good look.

Poor Poor Huchuquan was dragged out again and again by Zhang Liao, suffering social death in front of the Southern Xiongnu soldiers.

The huge sense of humiliation made Poor Huchuquan wish he could crash to his death on the spot.

But how could Zhang Liao allow such a situation to happen?

In his eyes, Poor Huchuquan was a precious treasure.

Whenever those Southern Xiongnu soldiers, who were high in fighting spirit and ready to rise up and fight back, saw the captured Poor Huchuquan.

The strength in their bodies seemed to be completely stripped away in an instant.

Grassland people have always admired the strong.

Regardless of Poor Huchuquan's true ability.

Since he had sat in the position of the Southern Xiongnu Great Chanyu.

That meant.

In the eyes of most Southern Xiongnu people, he was the most powerful existence!

But now?

The "most powerful person" in the eyes of the Southern Xiongnu people had humiliatingly become Zhang Liao's prisoner.

This feeling is equivalent to the Battle of Xiaoyao Ford, when Sun Shiwan was captured...

Well, this metaphor is inappropriate, it's the little author's fault.

If Sun Shiwan were really captured.

Perhaps... the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong soldiers would be improved because of it?

After all, Sun Shiwan's troop-leading ability was obvious to all.

It is completely worthy of the four words "God of War of Hefei!"

Compared to "The International Student of Tumu Fortress" and "The Advantage is With Me, Kai Shen Gong," it is not inferior.

If the command of the Battle of Xiaoyao Ford had been handed over to other Jiangdong generals, perhaps it would have been fought even better, who knows?

At worst, it would probably be better than Sun Shiwan's command, right?

Accompanied by the raging fire rising high.

Half the sky seemed to have been burned black because of it.

The Southern Xiongnu royal court was also reduced to ashes in the flames.

Hundreds of thousands of Southern Xiongnu people all became Zhang Liao's prisoners.

Although the combination of Zhang Liao + Seeing Xun You is indeed very powerful.

But when it comes to the culprit who destroyed the Southern Xiongnu, it has to be Poor Huchuquan, this Southern Xiongnu Great Chanyu!

If he hadn't been captured, I'm afraid Zhang Liao really couldn't have wiped the Southern Xiongnu off the map so easily.

And Zhang Liao didn't send troops to garrison the grassland occupied by the Southern Xiongnu for the time being.

The area of the grassland is very large.

And when winter comes, it will face the dilemma of lacking food.

Therefore, Gu Yi didn't order Zhang Liao to stop there for the time being.

Of course, this doesn't mean Gu Yi wants to give up the vast grassland.

Is the value of the grassland great?

Of course it is!

Although the grassland is not suitable for farming, the vast natural pastures mean that animal husbandry will become extremely developed.

Moreover, every piece of grassland is a natural "horse training ground" and "sheep pasture."

Before the Industrial Revolution arrived.

Cavalry was the undisputed king of the cold weapon era!

Even when firearms first came out. ===== CHAPTER 636 =====
