Chapter 482: The Road of the God of War!
The Xiongnu royal court at night is a tribe composed of tents, starry, white tents, colorful flags, sparkling ponds, Huo Qubing sat on a galloping horse, and suddenly there was a dreamlike feeling, the dream came true so quickly, is this true?
"Release!" Huo Quzhi pointed his long sword in the direction of Wang Ting and shouted angrily.
Six hundred rockets were shot at the royal court like an overwhelming day, the weather was dry, and the tent made of cow felt was lit at one point, and the royal court was suddenly in a sea of fire, and then drew the second arrow, pulled the bow and wound it, and another rain of arrows fell on the head of the tent that had already been burned, adding another fire.
The six hundred knights gathered their bows in unison, drew their swords, and the white blades were extremely cold in the moonlight.
The Han army used a three-foot-five-inch ring-head knife, which was a tough and sharp weapon made of high-quality high-carbon steel, which was a straight-edged long knife made of steel after repeated folding, forging and quenching, and was the most advanced and lethal close-range cold weapon in the world at that time.
A huge iron ring on the handle of the knife can not only play a balancing and counterweight effect, but also hold it stably with a rope sleeve, and can also hang ornaments and knife spikes.
The ring head knife was originally used as a chopping weapon for the cavalry to replace the sword, the sword is not conducive to immediate combat due to the double-sided blade, is not conducive to chopping, easy to break, which is very unfavorable in the early Han Dynasty to the Hun cavalry in close combat, in order to solve this problem, the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty brainstormed, bold innovation, design and manufacture of the ring head knife single-sided blade, The thick ridge, for the moment, is the most conducive to slashing weapons, coupled with the long and short range of the strong crossbow iron halberd, greatly strengthened the attack power of the Han cavalry, this knife has no blade, the blade is narrow and long, simple and rough, is the most sophisticated horse weapon in contemporary times, there is no one.
The Huns did not have the technology to build steel weapons, most of their weapons came from capture, consumables such as arrows and arrows were even using bone materials, and the main force was contained by Wei Qing hundreds of miles away, and there were very few elite soldiers in the royal court, only a group of old and weak women and children, how to resist the destruction of the Han army.
As soon as the six hundred cavalry charged, the royal court collapsed, and no one could organize a decent resistance, and the warriors who dared to face the blades of the Han army were all cut in two by the ring head knife, and the internal organs and blood stained the grass red.
Huo Quzhi watched a small part of his own army actually chisel through the large camp of tens of thousands of people, his face was full of incredulity, and his heart was full of pride, "Rush again!" The teacher's voice sounded in his ears, Huo Quzhi did not hesitate at all, turned his horse's head, and led the cavalry to rush towards the royal court again.
Six hundred cavalry formed a sharp arrow behind him, and then quickly unfolded, turning into two wings, constantly stretching, and finally taking Huo Qubing as the central point, pulling into a straight line, directly pushing the Hun royal court, God blocking and killing God, Buddha blocking and killing Buddha!
If the head of the ring is out of reach, shoot it with a bow and arrow, and if it is too late to swing the sword, you will directly trample it with the horse's hooves.
Huo Qubing can't remember how many times he rushed back and forth, he only remembered that his voice was hoarse, his arm was sore, and he cut down countless people in front of him, it turned out that killing people was addictive, every time the long sword split the back of the enemy and cut off the enemy's head, he could feel a different kind of stimulation and pleasure.
When the sky was slightly bright, the cavalry finally stopped, and turned into a huge garbage dump in front of them, the Xiongnu royal court was completely destroyed, and the Han army seized a large amount of goods, including the gold and silver treasures of the Xiongnu royal family and the cattle and sheep in the barn, which was a shocking victory with less and more.
However, the Han army did not have enough manpower to carry these booty, and most of them could not be taken away, so they could only be destroyed on the spot, all the cattle and sheep were killed, the horses were pulled away, and the prisoners were basically left behind.
This is a battle plan that has been set a long time ago, and the attack is only to destroy the living forces of the Xiongnu, and to create chaos and fear as much as possible, regardless of the elderly, women and children, kill them all.
Huo Qubing didn't have time to think about it, and he was completely swept into the cruel laws of the battlefield, and his heart was quickly turning into cold steel.
Several women were brought to the captain, and the soldiers pleaded that this was a Central Plains woman, our kindred.
Huo Quzhi frowned, although the woman was pitiful, she could only stay and couldn't bring it back to the Central Plains, "Let them go." "The captain is humane.
The women were crying and crying, and they could only accept their fate.
"Wait!"
Yang Pingfan rode to Huo Quai's side and arched his hand, "Lord Captain, there are a lot of war horses captured this time, it is better to let these women ride horses to follow me, if they can't keep up, it will be providential, after all, they are the people of the Han family." ”
The words "people of the Han family" The master's bite was very heavy, Huo Quzhi was shocked, yes, they are their own people, how did they become so cruel, Huo Quzhi waved his hand, "Okay, just do as you say." ”
The captives who didn't have time to escape knelt in a row, beheaded one by one, Yang Pingfan stood aside and watched, the faces of these Huns were not like those big-faced Huns he saw in the Jin Dynasty, but some European blood, high nose bridge, yellow hair, various eye colors, hair scattered, dressed in animal skins and satin, and the shape was bizarre.
"Stop!" Yang Pingfan suddenly discovered something, stopped the soldier's execution, and rescued a person from under the knife to ask him about his identity. Scale Literature
This person was still hard-mouthed at first, but when half of the scalp was peeled off, he poured beans and completely confided his true feelings, this person was Shan Yu's uncle Luo Gubi, his pampered appearance played a role at a critical moment, important captives can avoid death, as a living they are more valuable, Luo Gubi was tied up and sturdy, and was thrown on the back of a horse.
Others are not so lucky, they were all hacked to death and cut off their heads, the head is the most intuitive embodiment of the record, and there is no camera in these years, there is no evidence, there is no conclusive evidence, who believes that you 600 people will serve the Hun royal court, so you must bring a group of heads back.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the northern barbarians are a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Central Plains Dynasty, hundreds of years of countless southward raids, accumulated a lot of wealth, gold, silver, jewelry, satin cloth, countless, six hundred veterans of the oil took a lot of treasures, many people stripped naked on the spot, lost the coarse cloth underwear, and replaced it with the captured silk and satin, comfortable.
Huo Qubing didn't care about them, he took as much as he wanted, as long as it didn't affect the march and fight, as long as he won the battle, he didn't care about anything else.
Six hundred cavalry almost no damage, swept the Hun court, killed tens of thousands of people, with more than 2,000 heads to evacuate the scene, behind them were burned tents and corpses all over the ground, a few lonely Han women rode captured horses in the middle of the Han army, but there was no joy after being rescued, but all of them looked frightened, because the Han army was killed, all of them were full of blood, and there were a few human heads hanging under the saddle, and they were the evil ghosts who crawled out of hell.
The cavalry seized the dry rations of the Huns at the royal court, cheese and jerky were more hungry and delicious than their bread and vinegar cloth, and slaughtered so many cattle and sheep that they had to bring a few fat leg of lamb to eat on the road, plus gold, silver and silk, and everyone was full of money, and even the extra horses were full of booty.
The day is dawning, the morning glow is full of sky, last night the autumn wind entered the Han Pass, the moon was full of the west mountain by the clouds. ”
"What's wrong?" Huo Quzhi was very unconvinced, this battle was fought beautifully, and there were almost no flaws.
"Look at these soldiers, can they still fight?" Yang Pingfan looked back at the team behind him, the six hundred light cavalry had become bloated, the cavalry wore Hun fur hats, wrapped in horses of silk, raised their heads to drink mare's milk wine, gnawed on the leg of mutton, laughed unscrupulously, and there was a faint cry of women in the team.
Huo Qubing was furious, and asked his own soldiers to call the six military marquis, and asked them to order the soldiers to throw away all their belongings and advance lightly.
The six marquis looked embarrassed, the golden light in their arms loomed, as officers, they robbed much more treasure than soldiers, and the captain's general made them resist in the first place, let alone the soldiers.
"Those who don't follow, slash!"
Huo Quai's illness cut the railway, Yang Pingfan nodded secretly, the son can be taught.
Sure enough, the order aroused strong dissatisfaction among the soldiers, who made loud noises and were indignant, saying that in the past, General XX had allowed them to do this, risking their lives to kill the enemy, and they were not even allowed to take this little thing, and the soldiers were not bored.
"Violators of the order will be killed!" Huo Quzhi emphasized again, this time a few cowards threw away the silk satin, but most of the arrogant soldiers still ignored it, trying to get through in vain, the angry Huo Quzhi's face turned pale, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword turned white, but he was also worried about causing a mutiny, this is deep in the desert, and army rebellion is also a common thing, not to mention ordinary soldiers.
A gust of wind swept by, Yang Pingfan made a move, beheaded the three fiercest guys who shouted, his body was separated, and the gold and silver in his arms fell to the ground.
All the armies were shocked, and the crows were silent.
"This is the end of disobeying the order!" Huo Quzhi drew his sword out of the sheath, "Who else!"
The deterrent effect of the three heads was very strong, and the soldiers obediently untied the silk wrapped around their bodies, took out their private gold, silver and copper coins and threw them on the ground, and all kinds of treasures were piled up.
Huo Quzhi cast his searching gaze on Yang Pingfan, who nodded approvingly and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Everyone can pick a treasure from it!"
This is a compromise method, everyone works hard, there must always be some compensation, the premise is that it does not affect the combat effectiveness, Huo Quzhi under the guidance of Yang Pingfan, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the soldiers is really a lot less, and they also took the opportunity to dispose of the thorn that took the lead in making trouble.
"Let's go!" Huo Quai's sword pointed to the distance, which was further north.
Serving the royal court is just the beginning, and there are more military exploits waiting for them to get.
