The soldiers drank wine and laughed at each other, showing off today's achievements. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info talk about the interesting story of today's battle.

Xue Qing stood on the Gobi stall and looked into the distance, where the hell is this. Lop? That's right. The map was too rough to read. I really don't know how Huo Quzhi won the battle with this rough map.

In the next few days, the legion continued to advance every day, but its whereabouts were erratic, and the Huns could not find the Han army at all, and the assembled forces had no effect, but weakened the defense of the various tribes.

As a result, the Han army was even more comfortable in the Hexi Corridor, and basically had to destroy a tribe every day. Only Xue Qing vaguely felt that something was wrong, the whole army was very excited, and he didn't care about the casualties at all, after Li Kang's statistics, the 12,000 cavalry brought out had already killed 2,000 people, and hundreds of people were seriously injured.

This battle attrition is still quite large, if it were changed to the troops of other eras, such as the Ming army, the Qing army or something, such a large casualty could basically disintegrate the combat effectiveness, but the heavy head beckoned in front, and the Han army did not realize what it meant to be dead and what it meant to be afraid. It's like falling into an evil spirit.

Huo Qubing decided to send those wounded soldiers back to Jincheng, and by the way, bring back the battle report, transfer it to the emperor, and take it back as well. So all that was left was a fresh army, but only 8,000 men remained.

On this day, the cavalry surrounded a tribe on the left and right, and when they were about to charge, the Huns shouted in unison what is the incense of the head, the incense of the head. Weird. Huo Qubing didn't care about it at all, and continued to bury his head in the rush, but saw Zhao Ponu on the right wing on the opposite side stop and stood still on the periphery.

Huo Qubing was startled, what was the matter with the evil spirit, the right wing did not move, and the left wing rushed in a little rashly, so he could only let all the troops stop. Li Dang came up from behind and said, "The Huns want to surrender." ”

Huo Quzhi looked inexplicable, listened carefully, and seemed to be really shouting the word surrender. rushed over and prepared to kill, took all the brains and knelt down to beg for mercy, the psychological gap is too big.

The troops could only surround the Huns and quickly called a meeting of the generals.

Huo Qubing himself didn't want to be surrendered, after all, it was a head. But Li Dang had a slightly different opinion: "Our purpose is to slaughter the king tribe, you see that along the way, there are some small fish and shrimp blocking the way, there is no need to add some casualties for these people, we have already reduced one-third of the personnel, okay." ”

Zhao Ponu said: "It's not impossible to surrender, but how to get it, after all, we only have 8,000 people, and there are 20,000 surrendered here, and all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled." It's a thousand miles away from Jincheng, and we don't have anyone to send them there. You can't ask them to go over on their own, for when we go west, they'll be back here. ”

Huo Quzhi turned his head and asked, "How strong is this?" ”

Zhao Ponu scolded: "Multiple farts, I just saw it, it's all old and weak women and children, and they can't be exchanged for military merit if they are killed, what's the use." ”

Huo Quzhi frowned and said, "Is it that all the strong men have gathered?" So what are these tribes still fighting? ”

Wan Ziyu said: "Impossible, there are contradictions between various tribes, fighting for grassland, water, women, and killing people are very common, and tribal mergers are also common." This piece is supposed to be the territory of King Hutu, but if you think about it, King Hutu is overwhelming the crowd in this area, and how many people who are not convinced have to be killed, so many tribes are also obedient to the announcement. I heard that some tribes did not hand over the strong men, but stayed in their headquarters to prepare for defense. The people who really handed over the strong men were all the cronies of King Hutu. ”

Huo Quzhi nodded: "It's okay, in this way, we don't bother to fight the tribes that don't have strong men, and the tribes with strong men can fight a dozen." Let's find out where the troops they have assembled are, look for bad luck, and get rid of the troops they have gathered, then when we face the king of Shangxiu, it is estimated that there will be few people around him, hahaha. ”

So the Han army only took a batch of sheep from this tribe, and by the way, they collected their weapons, and ignored them.

Xue Qing muttered in her heart, it is not okay to kill them all, it is not okay not to kill them, after all, there are only these eight thousand in the legion, and the strategic goal has not been achieved.

In fact, Xue Qing also saw that although Emperor Wu had confidence in Huo Quzhi, he still used a more conservative method to test his strength, and did not give tens of thousands of people to build it casually. Maybe he thought to himself, just like this, 10,000 people, all of them are all gone, and it doesn't matter if Huo Qu is sick and dies, just change someone and continue to come.

Xue Qing was very puzzled, how did the remaining 8,000 people accomplish the feat of recovering Hexi? How can it be impossible.

The wounded soldiers who had withdrawn returned to Jincheng with a beautiful demeanor, and then sent Huo Quai's report to the top.

Emperor Wu was looking at the map in the Xuan room and said, "Where did Huo Qu's illness go?" ”

Han Yan said: "The wounded soldiers who have withdrawn are almost to Yanzhi Mountain, and the hussar general never reports the battle, so he can't figure out where it is now." ”

Emperor Wu smiled: "He deliberately did not report it, in case the imperial court hindered it." Just like last time, I forced Wei Qing to find the main force of the Huns for a decisive battle, the intention is correct, but it also depends on the specific situation of the front line. Forget it. Let him go. ”

Han Yan said: "There are still fewer people under the command of the hussar general, and it is a little difficult to exert it, a large number of captures, captures, can only be thrown away, and the prisoners who are beaten down are not killed, no matter what." It's really a headache for the hussar general. ”

Emperor Wu doesn't care, if there is less, add more, as long as it proves that you can fight, you can win. You can give you as many people as you want: "What do you think of the general, this time the general is watching from the wall, and the bystanders are clear." Ask him for his opinion. ”

Han Yan said: "The minister has been there, and the general said that Gongsun Ao Shuai's army should be sent to support." Expand the results. ”

Emperor Wu smiled: "I'm afraid it's too late, my champion Hou, maybe he has already crossed Yanzhi Mountain and arrived at Helan Mountain." ”

That's right, at this time, Huo Qubing really crossed Yanzhi Mountain. The main force gathered by King Xiu Tu was deployed in the area of Yanzhi Mountain, which was a key place, and it was impossible to avoid this place if he wanted to continue to advance westward. King Hugh Tu still has a strategic vision.

Huo Qubing naturally did not believe in evil, and said to the soldiers: "We fought so many tribes before, and there were not many strong men, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, can we only bully the weak?" In front is the main force of the Hun Hugh slaughter department, let's see if it is his main force of the Huns, or our Han army is mighty. ”

Eight thousand cavalry shouted a strong wind, rushed over like a bamboo, and instantly crushed the main force of the Huns. After the war, the soldiers concluded that the main force of the Huns and the old and weak women and children were like birds. (To be continued.) )
