Suddenly, there was a subtle sound in my ears, like the beat of a drum, and like thunder, but for the peoples of the steppe, there was only one source of this sound, and that was the rhythm of the horses' hooves hitting the earth as the cavalry charged.
Luo Gubi was a little suspicious of his ears, this is not the frontier front, but the Xiongnu royal court, the nearest Han army is also five hundred miles away, and there are scouts everywhere twenty miles around the royal court, it is impossible for anyone to touch such a close place.
But he still got up, lay on the carpet and listened with his ears to the ground, and suddenly his face turned pale, yes, it was the sound of horses' hooves, and it was definitely not his own people, it was the Han army!
Luo Gubi hurriedly went to put on his robe, the desert in March was still the cold season, and he was going to freeze to death if he ran for his life naked, and when he put on his robe and took the sabre, the sound of horses' hooves was approaching the tent, he opened the tent, and saw the sparks approaching rapidly, and suddenly those sparks were ejected like meteors.
Countless tents were set on fire, and the unsuspecting Huns escaped from the tents, resisting desperately, but became the ghosts of the cavalry's knives, this scene Luo Gubi is too familiar, every time the Hun cavalry swept through the Han villages and towns, it was like this, stormy charge, hacking all the lives on the way forward, the reincarnation of heaven, and finally the Huns should bear all this.
Before launching the charge, Liu Yanzhi had already cleared all the Hun scouts around the royal court, and the six hundred cavalry approached a mile away from the royal court and began to charge, they untied their heavy leather robes, put down water bladders and dry food, only brought bows and arrows and long knives, lit rockets and mounted them on the bowstring, and then drove the war horses.
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?
There was a low roar in his ears: "Give the order!" ”
Huo Quzhi suddenly woke up to the fact that he was the main general, and every move of this small army needed to be ordered by himself, and it was time to release the rocket.
"Put!" 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 place, the weather was dry, and the tent made of cow felt was lit at one point, and the royal court was suddenly in flames.
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 long ring-headed knife, which is a tough and sharp weapon made of high-quality high-carbon steel, with a huge iron ring on the hilt, no knife grid, and a narrow blade, simple and rough, which is the most sophisticated horse weapon of contemporary times, and there is no one.
The Huns did not have the technology to build steel weapons, most of their weapons came from seizures, such as arrows and arrows and other consumables were even using bone materials, 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.
With a single charge, the royal court collapsed, 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.
"Rush again." The teacher's voice sounded in his ears again, Huo Quzhi turned the horse's head and rushed towards the royal court again, six hundred cavalry formed a sharp arrow behind him, and then turned into two wings, pushing the royal court, God blocked and killed the god, the Buddha blocked **, and the head of the ring knife could not reach it with a bow and arrow, and if it was too late to swing the knife, it was directly stepped on with the horse's hooves.
Huo Quzhi can't remember how many times he rushed back and forth, he only remembered that his voice was hoarse, and his arm was sore, it turned out that killing people was addictive, and every time the long sword split the enemy's back and cut off the enemy's head, he could feel a different kind of stimulation and pleasure.
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 columns, but they could not take these things away, so they could only destroy them on the spot, all the cattle and sheep were killed, the horses were pulled away, and the prisoners were basically not left.
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.
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 could not bring it back to the Central Plains.
"Let them go." The Captain is humane.
The woman cried and cried, and could only accept her fate.
More than a dozen captives knelt in a row, beheaded one by one, Liu Yanzhi stood aside and watched, these Huns did not look like the Mongols of later generations, but some European blood, high nose bridge, yellow hair, various eye colors, hair scattered, dressed in animal skins and satin, the shape was bizarre.
"Stop!" Liu Yanzhi suddenly discovered something, stopped the soldiers from executing, and rescued a person from under the knife to ask him about his identity.
This person is Shan Yu's uncle Luo Gubi, his pampered appearance played a role at the critical moment, important captives can be spared death, as a living they are more valuable, Luo Gubi was tied up and sturdy, and was thrown on horseback.
The 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, 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 raids to the south, accumulated a lot of wealth, gold, silver, jewelry, satin cloth, countless, six hundred veteran soldiers Youzi took a lot of treasures with sheep, wrapped in silk and satin, Huo Quai's illness did not care about them, as long as he won the battle, he didn't care about anything else.
Six hundred cavalry, barely suffering any damage, swept through the court of the Huns, killed more than 2,000 people, and evacuated the scene with 2,000 heads, behind them were burned tents and corpses all over the ground, and a few lonely Han women sat by the ruins and wept.
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.
It was dawn, the morning glow was full of sky, and the young general was in high spirits, but the teacher poured a basin of cold water on him: "You are indeed a novice in leading soldiers, and you are too bad." ”
"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?" Liu Yan 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 and drank mare's milk wine, gnawed on the leg of mutton, laughed unscrupulously, and there was a faint cry of women in the ranks.
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.
Liu Yanzhi 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 will be killed!" Huo Qubing emphasized again, but the arrogant soldiers still ignored it, trying to get through in vain, the angry Huo Quzhi's face turned pale, and his hand on the hilt of the sword turned white, but he was also worried about causing a mutiny, this is the depths of the desert, and army rebellion is also a common thing, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Han ** has betrayed the Huns.
A gust of wind swept by, Liu Yan shot straight out, beheaded the three fiercest guys who shouted, their heads 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 what happens when you disobey 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 turned his searching gaze to Liu Yanzhi, who nodded approvingly.
"Let's go!" Huo Quai's sword pointed at the point, which was farther north.
Serving the royal court is just the beginning, and there are more military exploits waiting for them to get.
At the suggestion of Liu Yanzhi, the Han army adopted the policy of three lights, burning, killing, destroying, burning tents, grain stores and carts, slaughtering all the population and livestock, and even poisoning the water source, leaving the Huns with no water to drink.
But they can't kill everyone, there are always fish that slip through the net, just get retribution, send ten elite thousand people to search for the Han army light cavalry, the grassland is vast, the Huns are good at tracing and pursuing, an invisible net to the six hundred light cavalry open a bloody mouth.
But they can't always catch up with this Han cavalry, six hundred light cavalry are elusive, every time they escape when the encirclement is about to close, sometimes they will kill a horse pistol, bite hard, the Huns are dragged around by them, exhausted not to mention, full of hatred can not find a window to vent, hard to hold others to suffocate to death.
The royal court was destroyed, the tribe was slaughtered, and these news reached the Xiongnu army through several hands, and the army's morale was unstable, morale was low, and a defeat was inevitable.
