Chapter 115: There's No Time

The purple-red flowers of the red willow forest are still blooming, and they will be gone in almost a month.

When Xiao Han is looking forward to finding a coal mine to make a fortune, let's take a look at what happened in Henan.

The clock has to go back two days.

Tou Man City, in the big tent of the Xiongnu royal court, Tou Man Shan Yu and the two Tu Qi kings on the left and right were eating and discussing at the same time.

Tou Manshan Yu said: "This day will come after all. According to our past practice, the large army moved to the north, leaving a part to harass the Qin army while it was unprepared, luring the enemy to go deeper, and the transferred part in the process of transfer divided men and horses to set up an ambush in favorable terrain and destroy them one by one. Let's just think that he is an army of 300,000, the more people, the more difficult the logistical supply, and the longer it is consumed, the more they cannot afford it. When they reach the desert Gobi, they will retreat without a fight. Hehe, if they have the ability to pursue to the desert Gobi. ”

King Zuo Tu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "As long as we can't kill all of us, we will kill them all again." After all, this Henan land is a good place, a good place for herdsmen!"

Right Tu Qi Wang said steadily: "The mobilization has been done, and the unhappy big households, Du Hou and the heads of thousands of households who were unhappy a few days ago have nothing to say now. You can leave immediately. ”

"Hmm. You go and prepare. After eating this meal, I left. I'm still in the Chinese army, and you two will lead your own people. If you are dragging your feet, you can do what you want. ”

The left and right Tu Qi kings nodded, stood up, and had to make arrangements for their respective people.

A greeting from outside the tent: "The prince is here." The curtain was lifted, and Maudon entered.

Tou Manshan Yu greeted: "If you don't eat, sit down and eat, and talk while eating." ”

Mao Dun nodded to the two Tu Qi kings and said, "Eagle Eye has come to report that Meng Tian's army is about to cross the Great Wall. ”

Tou Manshan glanced at a few people unhurriedly and said, "Mao Dun, you take two thousand light horsemen to stay and harass the Qin army." They are tired of marching, and they always have to rest, so find the right time to thwart their spirit first. Then go all the way north and lure the enemy deeper. For the rest, you can do the rest. ”

"Ordered, Father! Maudun will lay it out. After saying that, Mao Dun bowed, pressed the quiver on his waist and turned out.

Tou Manshan Yu waved his hand to the remaining two people, and the two men also bowed out.

There really isn't time left.

After a while, the shouting of men outside the tent, the shouting of women, the laughter of children, and the sounds of cows, horses, and vehicles mingled.

When Tou Manshan Yu came to the tent, someone began to pack up the big tent. Wuzhu led her youngest son to plow over, followed by her maid Tuya.

Wuzhu looked at the red willow not far away with some reluctance, and said, "We'll come back here, right?" ”

"Yes! Maybe a few days, maybe half a year, a year. They can't take anything away from them, they just consume themselves. This land is still waiting for us here after all. ”

"Hmm. I believe what the Great King said! ”

"Okay, let's get in the car with the kids."

Drurg led the horse, which seemed to smell the war, and raised its head and neighed excitedly. Touman patted the horse's back, the horse instantly quieted down, and Touman once again glanced at the royal court he had carefully managed, what should have been demolished had been demolished, and there was no way to do the rest for the time being. He rolled over his horse and looked south, where the Great Wall had been built.

I heard that Meng Tian is a ruthless man, but he, Touman Danyu, is the leader of the wolves on the grassland, and if you want to be buried here, all come!

Meng Tian handed the cloak to the soldiers beside him. This dress is very effective, seeing the wind and the rain to keep out the rain, but the sun is not breathable when it is noon, and I don't know where Fusu got the strange things.

Looking at the Great Wall not far away and the carriages and horses beside him, he remembered what the little Han girl beside Fusu said, the arrogance of the Huns is not long. Her analysis is very reasonable, the problem is that he does not have time to wait for the Huns to occupy a place and then lose a place, nor does he have time to wait for the Huns to be assimilated by the Chinese, which are already the result of being conquered and robbed. As a military man, this is something he cannot stand.

He remembered what Li Si had said before, he said, the Xiongnu had no cities to live in, and there were no piles of wealth, they were like birds flying, migrating everywhere, and it was difficult to control them. If a light army is sent deep into the Xiongnu, then the military rations must be cut off; If you carry a lot of food into the army, the supplies are heavy and difficult to transport, and it will not help. Even if you get the land of the Xiongnu, there is no profit, and when you encounter the Xiongnu people, you can't enslave them to protect it. To defeat them is to kill them. Although the victory over the Xiongnu was happy, the policy of exhausting China was not a good policy. Therefore, he did not support the fight against the Huns.

Of course he understands what the old man said. The problem is that the Xiongnu have already occupied Henan for a long time while Qin has no time to unify the six countries. How far is Henan from Xianyang? The Huns may not have invaded the south if they got the benefits. Who looks at the fat in front of them and doesn't want to reach out for a chopstick? Drive it north today, and think more about it tomorrow when it invades south. Further north, it is better to drive them north of the desert, enough defensive space and a tough defensive situation will surely allow them to linger for many years.

Driving the enemy thousands of miles away is the best defense! Today, the Huns, I'm here, since you have a strong ability to survive, then go to the most bitter cold place to drink the northwest wind!

………

"General, General!"

Meng Tian glanced at the officers flying in front of him, and asked indifferently, "What's the matter?" ”

"Report to the general, all the surrounding villages have been informed. Li Dian and Wu Lao have begun to go door-to-door to inform that the food that can be collected will be reported soon. Also, the sheep herders are not allowed to come again. ”

"Hmm. Then you go and give the order, and all the shirts and left-sided shirts that the army sees in front of them are to be shot and killed, without questioning, whether male or female. Note, with the exception of ochre pants. ”

"What about children?"

Meng Tian closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Except for girls." ”

The sergeant hesitated, and then took the order. He understood that boys would grow up to be new looters and murderers, and that it was already righteous to leave them girls. Moreover, the men who were still wandering alone at this time were generally the spies of the Huns, and this kind of person must be eliminated. It's important to cut off their message channels.

At this time, another horse flew in, it was a spy with red pants on the left, and the red pants were still obvious in the dust. The pro-soldier reminded: "General!"

Meng Tian reined in his horse. The spy has arrived.

"General, there are about 2,000 people moving to the right front of our department, all light horses."

Meng Tian nodded and said, "Explore again!" ”

What can two thousand light horsemen do? It won't be a blocking, I'm afraid it's an old routine again - luring the enemy deeper.

Hmph, he's not going to give them time!

and he shall eat them all.

Thinking of this, he looked at the nearby terrain and said to the soldiers around him: "Send an order to all departments, rest on the spot, and quickly bury the pot and make food." Call General Li Laifu over. ”

The pro-soldiers had to be ordered. After a while, the march of the troops stopped. The horses did not unsaddle and stopped to graze and drink. The people sat down, but they were still on their respective teams, and the basic formation was still maintained.

Li Laifu ran over. "General, Li Laifu obeys orders!"

"Hmm. General Lee, 2,000 light cavalry were advancing towards our headquarters from the front right. It's up to you whether the army can eat safely or not! ”

"Li Laifu understands, I'm going to make a good start!" After saying that, he galloped away.

Meng Tian also dismounted, patted his hard-working mount, and handed it over to his own soldiers.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, cooking smoke! Smoke! Fish Tug exclaimed excitedly.

Mao Dun had already seen it, he turned to look at the two thousand people behind him, made a pause gesture, and everyone gathered their eyes.

"See? Smoke! They are eating, and we can't let them have enough to fight us, so we have to go over and catch him off guard now, prepare bows and arrows, and shoot down a batch first. Remember, if you can fight, you will fight, not war, and lead the enemy deeper into the desert to the north. There is a brother who will pick us up on the road! ”

Everyone raised their weapons in their hands, meaning to remember.

Ahead are low mounds, from behind which smoke rises. The tail of the Qin army can also be seen from a lower place.

With a wave of his hand, two thousand light horsemen galloped towards the mound like a wind on the prairie. The luanbell on the horse had long since been removed, and the thick meadow made the sound of the horse's hooves negligible.

Suddenly, "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The sound of continuous breaking of the air sounded. Arrows rained down on the light horsemen.

Not good! Ambush!

Everyone hurriedly used the weapons in their hands, some bows and arrows in their hands, but the arrows were obviously inadequate. Some of them use knives to protect their heads and faces, but they can't protect their bodies.

"Ouch!" The fish tile is hit by an arrow and falls off the horse.

Maudon scooped him up the moment he fell off his horse, and at the same time shouted to the knights behind him: "Quick, move north, move north!" ”

The knights bowed their bodies and rode north.

Unfortunately, the horse was also hit by an arrow. One fell down, blocking the way of the horses behind, knocking down one after another, and some of the companions turned back to save people, and were pulled by the people in front, "Hurry, it's too late!" The man had no choice but to forsake his companions.

Arrows are still raining down.

Mao Dun scolded as he ran, and he didn't know who he was scolding. His horse was hit by an arrow in the buttocks, and he couldn't walk properly, and the man next to him was already crooked on his horse. Maudon pushed him away, flew to change horses, and then turned around and dragged the fish tΓΌg over.

"Prince, I can't do it. You threw me away! ”

Mao Dun punched down, and Yu Tug stopped talking. I don't know if I fainted, or if I was well-behaved, but I didn't struggle like I did just now, and I was on the back of a horse like a noodle pocket.

Winniro, who came up from behind, said, "Give him to me, he's in your way!" ”

Maudon tossed the fish tile, like a pocket, and Winneiro caught it accurately.

Mao Dun turned around and saw that there were only a few hundred people following him. A cavalry of the Qin army in the distance also chased over, the arrows were still shooting, and their own team also turned around to shoot, but they missed the target, and the arrows landed, and the range was not reached. The other party used a crossbow, which had a far longer range than the bow and arrow in their hand, and from time to time there was the shouting and the sound of their companions being hit by the arrows and the sound of plopping and falling to the ground.

There were horses that were frightened by arrows, and horses that fell to the ground, and horses that were trampled by the former......

Qin Jun clenched his bite, and there were fewer and fewer people following him. Maudun had never felt so frustrated.

Winniro gritted his teeth and pushed the fish under the horse, unable to run away with him.

When the fish tΓΌg was pushed down, the horse behind him stepped on it, and with a "whoop" sound, his heart trembled suddenly. He opened his eyes wide and slapped the horse's ass with the back of the knife in his hand. The horse galloped and galloped violently, and did not know where to run to fulfill the master's wish.

……

The horses and equestrian skills of the Huns were indeed good, and gradually they couldn't catch up, and they were also out of range of the bow and crossbow, Li Laifu picked up the knife in his hand and raised it into the air, "Listen to the order, stop the pursuit!" The pro-soldiers next to him also shouted, "Stop the pursuit!" "One horse after another was strangled in the middle of the run," he saidβ€”β€”! "Appeal β€”β€”!"

"Go back and eat!" Li Laifu waved his knife and ran towards the mound where the pot was buried.

On the way back, the sergeants who cleaned up the battlefield had already begun their work. Mend knives, find dry food, take weapons, pull horses, and kill those who can't pull them away, and replenish military rations.

The work of counting the heads has also begun, and some people are recording military merits. This is the great achievement of the whole team, and it should be recorded on the head of Li Laifu's department.

Meng Tian had already finished eating, and said to Li Laifu, who was flying over, "Good job!" How many casualties are there? ”

Li Laifu said with some excitement: "There are five arrows, two of them are more serious, and they may die, and the other few are good to raise." ”

"Well, well done. It's off to a good start! ”
