744 Jungle Battle 4
In the next six weeks, Sun Li once again led 5,000 Marine soldiers to violently attack the Linyi people. According to incomplete statistics, Sun Li's army killed at least 3,000 Linyi soldiers and more than 10,000 Linyi men, including old men, young men, young men and baby boys who were still breastfeeding.
In short, whether Sun Li saw the man in Linyi chopped him up indiscriminately.
At the beginning, Sun Li also wanted to catch some Linyi women back to the city, but was attacked from time to time on the road. Unlike the northern grasslands, they could release a long-distance guard post. In the jungle, the enemy could force them very close. Linyi people would rush towards Sun Li's soldiers underground, on the ground, on the earth and in the sky (trees). It was a burden to bring Sun Li's soldiers with them, and even women would attack Sun Li's soldiers. As a result, they were often trapped in the cruel jungle battle, with many casualties and not many women brought back.
When Sun Li's army returned to the camp, more than 700 soldiers died in the troops they went to fight. Most of the remaining people were injured or had various strange diseases. After returning from the battle, the entire army was black and thin, with a very odor all over, like soldiers who were flipping out of the garbage dump.
The soldier opened his frightened eyes and heard a little movement, it was like a frightened bird, holding a weapon, and aiming around with a crossbow. The wolfdogs brought by the soldier would also yell nervously.
Gao Shun's army fought for fourteen weeks, and the two sides fought a fierce confrontation and tug-of-war in the jungle. Although the Linyi people suffered heavy casualties, the number of casualties and the proportion of enemies killed by Gao Shun's army was almost the lowest in previous battles.
In jungle battles, casualties are little by little. You will see that you have fewer comrades today and less tomorrow. The mental torture is difficult to say in words, which is "a short pain is worse than long pain."
The soldiers never know when and where the Linyi people would come. Twenty-four hours a day, the soldiers' strings were tightly tense, always ready to deal with the Linyi people who came out of nowhere.
In addition to Linyi people, soldiers will also be attacked by jungle miasma and have to endure mosquito bites at night. Gao Shun also thought about catching prisoners to understand the situation. Linyi people were quite tenacious. After a war, few of them were willing to surrender. Even if they surrender, they would find a way to escape. In the end, the soldiers could only kill all the Linyi people.
Gao Shun's army rested and replenished in Xicang City. One month later, Jiang Qin led 10,000 naval soldiers to arrive, and temporarily solved the problem of Gao Shun's insufficient troops. Gao Shun now has only more than 26,000 soldiers, and the number of troops that can be called is about 24,000. Gao Shun is preparing to carry out a final clearance of the Linyi people under Liu Gui.
Liu Gui sent people to negotiate with Gao Shunjun. The negotiation address was on a high slope one mile west of Xicang City, and each of them sent one hundred people to negotiate. Except for short weapons, they were not allowed to carry bows, crossbows, shields and long weapons.
The high slope has a wide view, and the surrounding trees are relatively sparse. You can see any movement at a glance. It is a good place for negotiation. On the day of negotiation, Gao accompanied Sun Li and his 99 soldiers.
When Liu Gui saw Gao Shun, he came forward and said, "I am humble, Liu Gui, the magistrate of Xicangcheng County."
Gao Shun said arrogantly: "I am the lieutenant general of Jinyang Gao Shun."
Both sides said nothing nonsense and entered the pavilion on the high slope. Sun Li stood behind Gao Shun, and someone was also standing behind Liu Gui. The people brought by Liu Gui lined up on both sides.
The people of Linyi looked haggard and serious, and lined up in an orderly manner, without moving at all, staring firmly at Gao Shun's soldiers.
When the negotiation begins, the topic will immediately turn to the main point: starting a price on the ground and paying back the money immediately. These are all negotiation skills.
Gao Shun snorted coldly and said, "Now you have suffered a lot of attacks from our army. If you continue to fight, you will have no men."
Liu Gui said calmly: "It is better to be broken than to be a complete one."
There is no benefit to continue talking. Gao Shun immediately changed the topic and said, "It is a lot of benefits to joining my Dahan jurisdiction..."
Liu Gui beat the snake and said with a stick: "Well, we are willing to be your vassal state and recognize you as our sect leader, but you must withdraw from Xicang City and restore the king."
Gao Shun looked at Liu Gui with an idiot's eyes and said, "Are you joking? Your king, together with the royal family, has already set off for Jinyang by boat."
Liu Gui said: "Then I don't care. In short, the people of Linyi must be the masters of the country and be the king!"
Gao Shun said: "Hmph! Could it be that you want to be the king? Now I understand why you resisted our army so much. It turns out that you have long been ill-behaved."
Liu Gui said: "You are talking nonsense and slandering people."
Gao Shun said: "You must surrender unconditionally, and we must impose an amnesty on you and write a confession."
Liu Gui said, "Hey! The wind is shining, let's sleep during the day and dream of a thousand years!"
The more the two sides talked, the more they became more and more irritated, and they turned from bargaining in their business to asking each other's female members, and everyone became more and more angry.
There was nothing to talk about. Seeing that the two sides were about to part ways, Gao Shun's steel teeth were frustrated and made up his mind. For the sake of the Han people and their brothers, Gao Shun put it behind him and made a gesture. Sun Li, who was standing behind Gao Shun, was slightly shocked and placed his hand behind him to send a signal.
In an instant, Liu Gui suddenly had an illusion, standing outside the pavilion, a light flashed in the eyes of Gao Shunjun soldiers who were originally lazy and cool; Liu Gui felt like he was being targeted by a group of wolves.
Liu Gui made a quick decision and stood up to say goodbye.
Sun Li suddenly pointed to Liu Gui's back and said, "Look, your people."
The people of Linyi turned around sensitively. The ninety-nine soldiers of Gao Shun's army took out a flying knife from behind and threw it hard. The flying knife was spinning in the air, drawing a wonderful fox line, bringing out the terrifying sound of wind buzzing in the air.
"ah!……"
Amid the screams, the people of Linyi fell down. Gao Shun's eyes were full of murderous aura and he used the eagle to rush to the rabbit to attack Liu Gui. Gao Shun did not use a sword because Liu Gui was a literati and could not fight. As long as Gao Shun approached, the carefully trained close-fitting fighting technique could make Liu Gui fall down with one blow.
The Linyi people who were responsible for defending Liu Gui were forced by Gao Shun's momentum, and the Linyi people had no time to wield a short knife and hurriedly met.
A series of punches and feet were like firecrackers, Gao Shun hit his elbow and kicked his knees, and the Linyi people blocked a few moves, and then they were defeated in the dazzling slam. They suffered three elbows in the face, one knee in the lower abdomen, and one kick in the kidneys. They immediately bleed in seven orifices. They were terrible and could not bear it.
At this time, Liu Gui had been killed by Sun Li. Gao Shun's soldiers attacked bravely, and their power was unstoppable. They instantly killed all the few Linyi people and fled back quickly.
Liu Gui was killed, and the people of Linyi had no backbone and could no longer fight. Linyi is currently known to have more than 4,000 resistance people, but in fact there are only 1,55 who can barely be considered strong. The 2,55 are all young and old. Linyi's strongest and most capable warriors have basically suffered losses. What's worse is that they have weak successors. Gao Shun's army cruelly killed all the boys and babies in Linyi, causing the people of Linyi in Xicang City to be divided.
Then Gao Shun sent nearly 20,000 Marine soldiers to carry out a final clearance of the remaining Linyi people. Only sharp whistles were heard everywhere, killing sounds were heard around the sky, and Gao Shun's ambushed soldiers were everywhere. Gao Shun, Sun Li and Jiang Qin led soldiers like bloody beasts, opening their bloody mouths and devouring the lives of Linyi people. Wherever Gao Shun's army passed, there was no living mouth left. Gao Shun's army no longer needed the Linyi people to surrender, and killed as much as they could.
In the jungle attack, most of the soldiers of Gaoshun's army were small shields, short swords, short swords and vest armor. Some soldiers were wearing full armor, and a few were holding crossbows. Soldiers with less weight rushed forward. If they encountered stronger resistance, a few people were divided into pestering Linyi people, and the others continued to move forward. After the heavily armored troops came up, they could basically break down the defense line of Linyi people. Crossbow archers shot and killed Linyi people who could shoot, with arrow branches flying across and flying knives running around.
The soldiers of Gao Shun Army were very resentful and were never merciless. The soldiers roared wildly, with red eyes, and were desperately chopping and slaughtering, for fear that their comrades would steal the business. This was no longer a battle, but a massacre. Some Linyi people tried to surrender, but were also ruthlessly killed. Other Linyi people were extremely sad and angry and fought back with all their strength, but they were well-behaved. Gao Shun Army was waiting for work and was well equipped, which made the Linyi people lose their temper.
The people of Linyi fled in scattered all over the place, and the Gaoshun army soldiers were not willing to let go. When they saw the enemy, they chased them until they were killed. So the Gaoshun army soldiers dispersed instantly like strong wind and sand, and each identified their targets and chased them.
The clearing was over, and Gao Shun's army killed most of the men in the Rinan County area. As for Xicangcheng area, there was basically no man left. In the jungle battle for more than a year, Gao Shun's army sacrificed more than 3,000 soldiers (most of them were soldiers of foreign corps. After all, foreign corps rushed to the front in every battle.), and captured more than 43,000 Linyi women, of which nearly 30,000 were over 15 years old, and 13,000 were under 35 years old.
The soldiers of Gao Shun Army selected priority based on their military achievements, and also selected beautiful and ugly women in Linyi for selection for Gao Shun Army soldiers to formally carry out national integration. Gao Shun Army rested on site for one month, and also hoped that soldiers would use this time to do more exercise, work every day, and work every day, so that Linyi women would have big belly as soon as possible, so that Linyi women would be pregnant with a species of Han ethnic origin as soon as possible.
All the women in Linyi were wearing clothes and skirts sent by Gao Shunjun, and they were all curvy and sat quietly, waiting for the selection of Gao Shunjun soldiers. That night, the legal national integration unfolded, and there were strange sounds of "Huhuhuhu...ahhhh..." everywhere. The sound kept making noise for thirty days, and there was a pause in the middle. It was the distribution of land. Everyone went to see their own land, and then on their own land, a wonderful melody sounded again.
A month later, Gao Shun, Sun Li and Jiang Qin led the soldiers away from the belly of Linyi women and headed towards another country next to Xicang City. The massacre of Gao Shun's army in the Rinan area made the villagers of Funan very scared and acted as a deterrent to it.
In response to this situation, Gao Shun sent envoys to threaten and induce the tribes and villages of Funan, giving food, wine, and cloth, and recruiting some people as mercenaries of Gao Shun Army to serve the Gao Shun Army. Mercenary soldiers would receive food, wine, cloth and silver based on the number of enemies they killed. Gao Shun Army offered very attractive prices, which made the Funan people irresistible at all.
Gao Shunjun threatened and tempted villages and villages, constantly recruiting mercenary soldiers, ranging from more than a dozen to dozens, hundreds, thousands, and finally reaching more than 30,000.
In the conquest against Funan Kingdom, mercenary soldiers were basically allowed to rush forward and attack. Gao Shun's soldiers supervised and killed the enemy who had missed the net. Only then did the casualties of Gao Shun's soldiers be significantly controlled. Although they were all jungle wars, mercenaries were vanguards, heads and cannon fodder.
The casualties of mercenary soldiers are very serious, but as long as the mercenary soldiers are given food, supplies, alcohol, silver, etc., mercenary soldiers will still rush towards the enemy like madmen, because mercenary soldiers can only do this in order to get more money and goods. It is much better than the ones they did when they were in battle to kill the enemy!
The Funan people now regard being mercenary soldiers as a profession. They can support their families and eat good food in the army, drink good wine, and wear gorgeous clothes of excellent quality. The Funan people are very happy. So much so that mercenary soldiers work very hard when fighting, killing enemies, charging, and siege cities.
Of course, Gao Shunjun will also give high compensation to the mercenary soldiers who died in battle after the war, and provide good placement to the families of the mercenary soldiers who died.
Gaoshun's army recruited a large number of mercenary soldiers and used them as cannon fodder, which reduced the casualties of the soldiers under its command, and made the army stand up and go out in a qualitative manner. After Gaoshun's army took over Funan Kingdom, it immediately marched its troops westward and carried out a large-scale conquest of Lumu Kingdom, Shan Kingdom, and Wangjia Kingdom.
After more than two years of war, Gaoshun's army occupied Linyi, Funan, Lumu Kingdom, Shan Kingdom, Wangjia and other countries in one fell swoop. As the war continued to deepen, the soldiers also adapted to the characteristics of jungle combat and became masters of jungle combat; thus leveraging the advantages of coordinated combat between Marine soldiers and the navy, learning from their strengths and weaknesses, fully leveraging the characteristics, performance and advantages of the Marine Corps and the Navy, making them play a huge role.
Of course, the wealth plundered by Gao Shun's army was very huge. The gold plundered alone was thousands of tons, silver plundered several thousand tons, and various jewelry, jade, and ivory were too much to estimate. As for spices and other things? Then there are more.
Of course, the place where Gaoshun's army captured was to store a large amount of mineral resources, not only high-grade tin ore, silicon ore, titanium ore, but also rich forest resources. These are treasures, which will bring huge benefits to the development of the Han people.
