Chapter 82: There were no real cavalry in this era
Lü Wu originally wanted to send someone with some tokens, such as the pole Daxu, or Tuli's son, to threaten the Hu army.
To succeed is to earn.
Nothing is to lose if you fail.
It's just that he just thinks about it.
Maybe it's a threat?
The key is that Lu Wuzhen is not willing to bear the bad reputation of doing everything.
Once you have that kind of reputation, how will you mix in the circle of etiquette in the future?
All the while, he avoided appearing too different.
This time it was just a suggestion to raid the empty camp of the Hu people, and let's see what the children of the big nobles think?
Lu Wu didn't bother to complain a little.
Before, they raided so many Hu tribes, why didn't they pay attention to etiquette?
And that's what happened.
The lecture still depends on the strength of both parties and the impact after doing it.
Lu Wu didn't want to stay in this camp for too long.
The samurai were given orders to give priority to horses and vehicles, then loot luxuries, and then capture the population and concentrate cattle and sheep.
Leather and other goods are classified as inferior plunder.
While constantly giving orders, Lu Wu glanced at those people on the side from time to time.
These people are Tuli's family, including his mother-in-law, son and daughter.
Tuli's mother-in-law is a bit much, the oldest is in her forties, and the youngest is only fourteen years old.
In the case of children, the age group ranges from almost thirty years old to a few months old babies.
According to the rules of engagement, they were all Lü Wu's personal property.
In the way the nobles deal with it, even if they want to kill, they will not kill all of them, and they will leave their bloodline to continue to worship their ancestors and worship totems.
Lü Wu's decision was to leave Tuli's fourteen-year-old son to inherit the position of leader, and the boy's biological mother would be left behind, and the rest, including the boy's siblings, would all be taken away.
As for the fact that a young man became the leader of the tribe on the spot, Lu Wucai would not do it stupidly.
Even if he is only the leader of a tribe, he will not trespass if he is appointed as the king of the country.
They took the booty with them and evacuated the camp after a war in an orderly manner, taking advantage of the fact that night had not yet completely fallen.
When they came, the small and medium-sized nobles all had stinky faces because they discarded the spoils of war.
After the toss of the road, a blitzkrieg was fought, and when he left, he brought far more loot than before, and there was a satisfied smile on his face.
In fact, the end of the raid is not the end, and the fate of the majority is still decided by a few.
"Wu, why west?" Han Wuji specially chose to be in the same car with Lu Wu, and asked, "If not, will there be a surprise attack?" ”
Lu Wu said calmly: "The camp is attacked, and it will take two or three days to reach the enemy. We have gained a lot, which is why we are suspicious. ”
When Han Wuji heard that he still wanted to find a tribe to attack, an expression of obvious relief appeared on his face.
Lu Wu said: "Go west, and a hundred miles will be a big river, and a shoal can be used to cross the river." Or you can turn south from the west of the river to the opposite bank of the 'building' and find the shallows of the river. ”
This information was obtained from the mouths of the captives.
Lu Wu had already sent scouts to investigate, and once the information was true, he would really choose the latter plan.
Han Wuji asked, "...... the people hiding in the mountains?"
They had previously split up on a team.
The team was made up of nobles who were reluctant to take part in the attack, and carried with them a large amount of loot.
To tell the truth, Lu Wu didn't like getting along with Han Wuji a little.
Should it be a lack of education, or is it simply a lack of brains?
Han Wuji can always ask things that shouldn't be asked in inappropriate situations.
Lu Wu said helplessly: "I have already sent someone to inform you." ”
Abandonment, of course, will not be completely abandoned, and there are still their subjects and slaves over there.
It's just that a lot of times, I really can't care about it that much.
Next, he responded to some of Han Wuji's questions with unnutritious words such as "yes", "pole", "reasonable", etc., and he would answer them in short sentences if he really couldn't do it.
Han Wuji was not completely brainless, how could he not see Lu Wu's obvious coping style.
"Wu, I don't know." Han Wuji said somewhat lonely: "I really don't know. ”
Lu Wu smiled awkwardly and explained, "I'm worried, Han Zi forgive me." ”
Han Wuji was right when he thought about it, it had always been Lu Wu who had made the decision, and it was normal for the whole team to have a lot of pressure in his heart now that he was comforted.
The scouts who had been sent out came back to tell them that there was indeed a shoal ahead that could cross the river.
It took them more than a day to get to the shoal.
Lü Wu had sent scouts to roam around thirty miles before to prevent an enemy from ambushing.
When crossing the river, he arranged again very steadily and divided into two echelons for crossing the river.
"Wu Zizhi's caution, too much?" Qi Wen stood on the chariot, raised his eyes to see the surroundings, and said to himself, "Can there be an ambush here?" ”
Zhao Wu's lips moved, but he still didn't make a sound.
This kid is very much in favor of Lu Wu being cautious, regardless of whether he can see whether there is an ambush or not, if he is prepared, it is better than really encountering an accident.
And Lu Wu was not afraid of being ambushed.
The view is quite open, and there are already scouts roaming around to make sure there are no large enemy forces around.
He made this arrangement to prevent the prisoners of war in the team from causing trouble when crossing the river.
After the whole team crossed the river, they entered the territory of Bai Zhai (zhái, a branch of Bai Di) and continued to follow the riverside of the river to the south.
It's been going for another four days.
During this time, they encountered some red herdsmen.
For the first time, Lü Wu asked a samurai, who was good at horseback, to try the way of fighting on horseback all the time, and chased the herdsmen for a while.
What can drive away is naturally what drives away.
If they run into a tribe, they don't want to attack each other, and the other party may not let them go.
In this way, two more engagements were fought, and the combat on horseback showed an advantage in mobility.
"Wu, why are you obsessed with riding a horse alone?" Han Wuji started again. He was very confused and said, "It's so down, why don't you do it." ”
Yes.
Nowadays, people only ride horses and do not ride chariots, and the view is that only when they are defeated and flee, or if they are extremely depressed, they will make that kind of embarrassing behavior.
In fact, the Hu people only rode horses, and when they arrived at the battlefield, they still dismounted to fight, which could only be regarded as a kind of mounted infantry.
So, now there is no cavalry in the true sense of the word.
Lu Wu didn't intend to explain anything, and said simply: "This, a helpless move." ”
They walked three miles further to a shoal, and after crossing the river, they could reach the east of the river, and about a hundred miles further on was the "building", which was regarded as entering the boundary of the Jin Kingdom.
And then there were no more accidents, and they crossed the river smoothly, and when they saw the ruined city wall of the "building", the team broke out into a lot of cheers.
The city called "Lou" has actually been abandoned.
But they haven't seen any traces of "civilization" for nearly a month and a half, and when they see the city wall again, even if the city wall is broken, excitement is inevitable.
"Don't go to 'Jiaogang.'" Wei Jiang expressed his opinion, only Lu Wu, Han Wuji and Zhao Wu were present, and Ming said: "The Handan clan may not be the case, and the Yin clan must be guarded against." ”
Come on, it seems that the Hao family's dominance is already known to the whole Jin Kingdom.
Maybe even the nations know that the Jin Kingdom's Yin clan is flying and domineering?
Lü Wu didn't want to get close to "Jiaogang", so he still chose to go south, pass through a place called "Qu", and then directly enter "Lü" to the west.
After arriving at Wei's territory, they are truly safe.
Because he was carrying a lot of loot, the quantity and quality were enough to arouse the greed of others, and Han Wuji also had an idea.
He said: "Why don't you stay temporarily in 'Qu', transfer troops to, and return? ”
They discussed what route to take and how they could really go back safely, but no one mentioned that there was still a team stranded on the territory of the Hu people......
