Ichiro was very excited. As auxiliary soldiers, this war was not enough for them to take part in the war, so they could be solved with only 100,000 regular soldiers.
But he stood on the hillside and saw with his own eyes the shocking scene of 50,000 heavy armored cavalry charging downward!
Seeing the tough-looking and numerous enemy (the Huns) being crushed and destroyed by the charge of the heavy cavalry, Ichiro felt his blood boiling all over his body!
This is the battlefield! This is war!
In the past, when he was in his hometown, it was quite normal for those big names to send hundreds of people into a group and dare to call it a famous battle.
But after seeing the current war involving hundreds of thousands of people, it feels funny to think back to those wars fought by the daimyo!
Where is the war? It was clearly a fight between several villages!
Can that be called a war? It's ridiculous. Now this is the battlefield where real men should go!
Wearing full armor and riding on war horses that are taller than a man, tens of thousands of people charge downwards like a natural disaster, scattering the enemy who is like an ocean with no end in sight. This is the art of war!
A battle worth remembering in history should be like this!
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a weapon in his hand, Ichiro would have wanted to follow him and rush down to kill everyone!
Even if he couldn't, he would still stand on the hillside and cheer for the knight he was serving!
"Master Sanjia! Damn you!"
"Master Sanjia! Damn you!"
"Master Sanjia! Damn you!!!!"
…
Ichiro's excitement also inspired other Japanese auxiliary soldiers. They were also inspired by Hu, and they also waved their fists and loudly cheered for the knights they served!
For a time, the whole hillside was filled with the sound of Japanese bastards. The Tatar auxiliary soldiers were confused and didn't understand why these little Japanese were so excited.
When the battle was over and the heavy-armored cavalry came back covered in sweat, Ichiro couldn't wait to step forward to help remove their armor. He touched the armor with many marks of knives, axes and gouges on it, feeling the pain of those losers before they died. Ichiro's entire face was red with excitement as their blood stained the armor red with their struggle.
There is no need for these 50,000 heavy cavalry in the next battle, and there is no place worthy of their action.
Fifty thousand heavy cavalry followed the brigade to the central grassland and finally stopped and temporarily stationed at the original site of Tuligen.
Ichiro and others also stayed here for the time being, usually helping the auxiliary who was responsible for feeding the horses to feed the horses and maintain their armor and weapons.
However, on this day, an officer suddenly came to the place where their auxiliary soldiers were resting and announced a recruitment.
It was said that a group of prisoners were to be brought back to Yunzhou County, and the main force did not have enough manpower, so it was decided to select a group of people from the auxiliary soldiers to be responsible for escorting these prisoners.
These prisoners are all under control. Basically, you don’t have to spend too much energy as long as you keep an eye on them. Those who are selected to be responsible for escorting can add two taels of meat to their daily meals, and Xiangyin, who promised to provide them with auxiliary troops after returning, will also do so. Increase by a quarter.
These auxiliary soldiers also have xiangyin, but only one-third of the regular soldiers. In other words, the regular soldiers have three taels of silver a month and they only have one tael.
Of course, the war period is different. During the war, the military pay of all regular soldiers is doubled, which means that the military pay of regular soldiers is at least six taels.
The wartime military pay for the auxiliary soldiers was two taels of silver. If you added a quarter more, you could get two taels and five cents of silver. This was simply free, and it still caused looting.
In the end, the officer selected 5,000 people from the crowd to form a prisoner escort operation. Each person took care of 20 prisoners. Almost 100,000 prisoners were all sent back to Yunzhou City to build the railway.
Fortunately, Ichiro was selected. Soon the next day he received a notice to go to the west of the camp and came to the prisoner camp.
As soon as I entered, I saw that the prison camp was full of dejected Tatars, including women, children, and young men.
They were all under the age of thirty, and those above had all been killed.
The prisoners here have different expressions. Some of them have frightened eyes and timid expressions. They are obviously frightened. This kind of prisoners should be easy to manage if managed, Ichiro thought to himself.
And there is another type with fierce eyes. Even though their hands and feet are tied, and their feet are bound by iron and stone chains, the eyes looking at them are still full of hatred, as if they are ready to be killed at any time. It was as if he was going to pounce on them and bite them.
This kind of thing looks thorny at first sight and is difficult to manage!
Ichiro secretly prayed that he must not be assigned to such a person, because these days he has also figured out that the Japanese are not allowed to have weapons in the army. Without weapons in hand, they can face these slaves who may bite back at any time. , this is not a simple matter.
Although Ichiro regretted that the Japanese were not allowed to hold weapons, he didn't think there was anything wrong.
In their minds, they are slaves of Yunzhou County. In this case, all Yunzhou County's demands are reasonable and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
They worship the strong from the bottom of their hearts. As long as you are stronger than him, your shit will taste good.
However, things didn't work out as he wished, and he didn't know if he was a little unlucky. After he had received the twenty people he was responsible for watching, he looked at the three young Tatars in the crowd who looked at him with fierce looks. Ichiro's lips twitched involuntarily.
This is really difficult to do...
But it’s difficult, but it must be done!
After taking the twenty people back to their assigned camps, Ichiro said to them in poor Mandarin: "Hello, gentlemen, I, Ichiro, will be in charge of managing everyone during the rest of the journey. I hope that everyone will be happy in the future." Cooperate with my work during the trip and don't cause trouble for yourself or me.
Thank you! "
After saying that, Ichiro bowed to twenty people in a standard way, with a Yamato-style bow.
Such behavior made the twenty Tatar slaves stunned. Originally, they thought that the little dwarf in front of them would tell them to be honest and not cause trouble for him with a fierce face.
But what was surprising was that the escort officer was so polite and polite.
This made them relax, who were still a little nervous, and their fear of this little man was reduced a lot.
The three young Tatar slaves, who had originally unkind expressions, looked at Ichiro with disdain and continued to issue provocations of their own.
Ichiro pretended not to notice the changes in their demeanor and the provocative actions of his three young Tatar slaves. After saying what he wanted to say, he turned around and left the camp.
Starting from noon today, they would have meat in their lunch, which he had been looking forward to for a long time.
After he left, the eyes of the twenty people left in the tent flickered. After the three young men with fierce eyes said something, the rest of the people nodded.
After Ichiro came back, a group of people, including the three people who had been looking fiercely, seemed to have accepted their fate and did not cause any trouble.
Ichiro looked at this scene, his eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
In the next few days, slave riots often broke out among other escort officers, and the escort officer escaped and was killed on the spot by the Yunzhou Army guarding the perimeter.
But Ichiro has been very calm here, without any surprises.
All the slaves are very honest, and they do whatever Ichiro tells them to do, without any thorns.
This situation continued until the Yunzhou Army began to withdraw and the army set off on its way home.
The military camps began to be pulled out one by one, and the prisoner camp was the last camp.
One hundred thousand prisoners finally set off one after another and began to break camp after the army had already set off and walked a mile away.
After hearing the news of the camp breakup, where Ichiro couldn't see, the slaves who had been honest and honest these days suddenly looked at each other, and they all showed an unknown smile.
"Detention Officer, my chains seem to be a little loose. Why don't you come and take a look at them for me?"
A young slave suddenly said to Ichiro who was preparing to break camp. He was one of at least three young Tatars with fierce looks.
Ichiro was stunned. Is there any slave who dislikes his loose chains?
Immediately, he became vigilant and looked at the young man walking towards him. He immediately grabbed a wooden stick from the side, looked at him with a vigilant expression and shouted: "Stand there! Don't come over!"
However, the young man continued to approach Ichiro as if he didn't hear it, and the other slaves also stood up at this time.
Another young Tatar didn't hide it anymore and sneered: "Little dwarf, you have been arrogant for a few days. Now that the big troops have left, we want to see how a little Japanese like you can guard us?"
I will make your head into a wine glass and your spine into a bone whip, so that you can neither survive nor die! "
The young Tatar also approached Ichiro with a ferocious smile.
Seeing that Ichiro was about to be surrounded by rioting slaves, at this moment!
Whoosh!
Two arrows suddenly shot out, and the next moment the young man's arms were hit by two arrows. He screamed and was knocked to the ground by the huge impact of the arrows!
"Hey, little Japanese melon, we're here!
Hey, your military pay of twenty or five cents is ours! "
Ichiro's face suddenly showed joy, and he quickly bowed to the five Tatar men holding bows and arrows who were slowly walking towards here:
"Hey! Ichiro will not go back on his word. My military salary belongs to you! The rest of the journey depends on you!"
"I only collect people's money to eliminate disasters for them! I will definitely keep you safe after I collect your money!"
The five Tatar men said this with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Ichiro nodded to express his understanding and when he looked at the slaves again, the smile on his face became brighter.
"Gentlemen, I originally thought that you would always be as honest as you were a few days ago, so that both you and I would be very comfortable.
But since you guys don't want to do this, don't blame Ichiro!
I will entertain you well next!
これからのおもてなしを楽しみにしていてください!
(Please look forward to my next reception!)"
