Chapter 399: After all, it's still a step too late
In the words of the king, who is not hungry.
The prairie is not friendly to women, and they just regard them as their property.
But there is one thing that no one in the world can change.
Giving birth to a child is a necessary woman.
Therefore, if you snatch one woman from him, he will have at least one less warrior in the future, and if you snatch him 10,000 women, they will have at least 10,000 fewer warriors in the future.
This is still a guarantee, in fact, there will be more.
And for every time the Hun warriors died in battle, there was really one less forever.
The number of women who can bear children for them decreases, population growth is bound to decline, and the number of people killed in war will also decline.
What natural and man-made disasters will happen again?
If the Han army could capture 10,000 or 20,000 young Hun women every time they went out, then after two or three battles, the Huns themselves would be in chaos.
It's all big men, and they can't even touch a woman, so who would be convinced?
To sum up, this is called a strategic nuclear strike.
If this policy can be persisted for 510 years, it is estimated that the Huns will not be far from extermination.
On the contrary, after these women came to the Han Dynasty, they could give birth to a population for the Han State.
Blindly ensuring the purity of the bloodline is actually not beneficial.
Necessary genetic fusion is a major trend in human development.
Therefore, there is often a folk saying that the farther away the husband and wife are from their hometowns, the healthier and smarter the children will be.
The women and dolls were incorporated into the logistics team, and more than 6,000 Han soldiers and Yueshi soldiers guarded nearly 1,000 women and dolls.
The women were also assigned war horses, but they were surrounded by dead people, and it was impossible for them to escape.
Along the way, the Han army met many of the same tribes as before.
All the operations were the same, take the woman, leave only a month's supplies, and then quickly catch up.
But the end result is still not optimistic.
When they arrived at the Donghu Royal Court, it was already twenty days later.
I can vaguely see the situation on the battlefield, tragic but not tragic.
It was not as depressed and cruel as expected, and there were corpses on the ground that began to stink, and many animals came to forage for food.
And here, not a single living person is seen.
This trip to the Han Army is more like a tourist shopping.
The number of cattle and sheep is a little more than when it was out of the jam, and the number of women has also exceeded 10,000.
Along the way, the scouts continued to disperse and reconnoitre, and when they saw a tribe, they immediately led their troops up and rushed into a fierce attack.
Then they took the livestock and the women, and left everything else behind.
Although it seems that the results of the battle are not small, the strategic purpose of this battle has not been achieved.
And when I passed through several tribes before, Guan Ying got the exact news, this is the Donghu Royal Court.
There were sixty or seventy thousand troops stationed, and the Huns had just come here ten days earlier.
And now they are standing on the battlefield, but there is no trace of the Huns.
"There are traces of marching in all directions, and we are still too slow after all......" Infant's brow was tightly frowned.
They've been trying to speed up as much as they can.
But there was no way, they were already farther west than the Xiongnu.
The news of the Xiongnu movement first reached Luoyang, and then he set off from Luoyang to Yunzhong County.
After waiting in Yunzhong County for a few more days, the army set off after getting the supplies.
There was almost no delay on the road for almost a day, and as a result, they really didn't delay.
The news is just passed around like this, no matter how fast it is, it will take a month.
And now they are about ten days behind the Huns, which is equivalent to more than a month of marching, and they have been chasing for twenty days.
But the final result was still to no avail, and the previous efforts became dark clouds and dispersed with the wind.
"General, what now? Do you want to divide the troops? Han Xin was also a little hesitant, he wasn't too sure.
It's more about experience.
For the control of such a battle situation, he still feels a little rushed, and he still needs to be tempered in actual combat.
Guan Ying frowned deeply, and was a little hesitant at the moment.
Looking at the traces, it is obvious that the number of people going south is the largest.
But there were traces left in all directions, and now he needed to determine whether the Donghu people had run away or been completely defeated.
Did you go south to the Han Kingdom, and you ran in all directions to pursue it?
Or to clean up other tribes?
The battle situation determines how to fight next, why are some people destined to not be able to support the general?
It is because of this lack of information that there is no way to make the right and reasonable decision.
"General, catch a live ......"
"Alive?" The baby's face suddenly became happy.
It's good to have a living, you don't need him to know too many secrets, you just need to tell yourself the situation on the battlefield.
However, after seeing this living person, the joy on the baby's face instantly dropped.
Blood flowed everywhere, and the whole person was still tied up, just hung on a war horse and carried over, the whole person was dying, and there was a feeling that he would burp at any time.
"How?" Guan Ying's face darkened, and he reprimanded sharply.
"General, this grandson deceived him, said that he would not move and let us tie him up, but when we went to tie him up, he took out a dagger and stabbed him, thanks to the armor on our bodies, he didn't pierce it at once, otherwise the first unlucky guy who died in battle since we sent out the army would have appeared among us, no, thanks to my clever brain, I felt that the general must have something to ask, so I hurriedly grabbed a few of them and didn't let this grandson die......" The scout described in a dance.
The baby is a little crying and laughing, so the old man has to thank you?
I also said that I would let you tie it, can you understand what he said?
"Hurry up and send the medical officer!" Guan Ying hurriedly asked, he didn't want this captive to die so simply, and he was hoping to get some news from him.
Medical officers arrived quickly, and on the march to war, medical officers were indispensable, and at any given time, there were always two or three medical officers by the general's side on standby.
Soon, the medical officer shook his head and said, "No, this consciousness is almost blurred, and no one can save it, so if the general has anything to say, just ask......"
The black line on the baby's forehead, after such a long time, I saw a living soldier, and I was made into this bear by my subordinate scouts.
It's just that I can't get angry yet, so I can't be angry and scolded because I want to attack the soldiers, right?
The more I thought about it, the more depressed I felt, but it was too late.
It is necessary to gain the trust of the other party as soon as possible, so that he will tell himself the true information.
"There it is!" Guan Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, and he directly pulled Bayar forward: "I said you translate." ”
Bayar's chick nodded like a peck.
"We are the Han army, His Majesty the Emperor received a call for help from the King of Donghu, so he sent us to support you, now you have to tell me, what happened here? And where did the Donghu army and the Xiongnu army go? The baby said hurriedly.
Bayar: ???
When did King Donghu ask the Emperor of the Han Dynasty for help?
Why don't I know about this?
What else is there to hide from me?
"Translate quickly......" Looking at Bayar in a daze, he kicked the other party's ass in hatred and urged.
"Oh......" Bayar didn't care about the humiliation of being kicked by the baby, and quickly nodded and began to translate.
The dying Donghu man was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, a little incredulous.
But I don't know how to refute it.
Are they really from King Donghu asking for help?
Immediately shook his head again, feeling that it didn't matter, what did it have to do with him?
"Boom Woo Woo ......"
Bayard was stunned when he listened......
'Bang ......'
Looking at Bayar, who was in a daze again, the baby kicked up again.
What's going on with scolding this thing?
I didn't drop the chain along the way, why did I drop the chain twice in a row today?
Is it evil or what's wrong?
"Oh......" Bayar reacted at this time, but his face was still shocked, and he translated: "The king of Donghu was killed by the Huns, they suddenly attacked the royal court, and there are many Donghu people, with more than 100,000 troops, the royal court is defenseless, and it will be defeated at one blow, and many people have surrendered, he is the personal soldier of the king of Donghu, after the king of Donghu was killed, he did not want to take refuge in the Huns, so he hid in the corpse, and he did not come out to escape for his life until three days after the Huns left, but he was chased by the scouts just a few days after leaving. ”
"Wang Ting's army did not escape, about 100,000 people went south, most of them were Donghu people who surrendered, and the remaining Huns went to attack the Donghu tribes scattered in other places, the number was about seventy or eighty thousand, in every direction."
After saying that, Bayard still couldn't believe it.
Mighty Donghu died like this?
According to the description of the other party, the Donghu people did not organize any decent resistance battle at all.
And more than eighty percent of the corpses on the ground are the personal soldiers of King Donghu, and they are absolutely loyalist.
And the baby was stunned.
He glanced at Han Xin.
"Your Majesty really got it right......"
"Your Majesty really got it right......"
The two said almost in unison.
The reason why Wang Buyu ordered the troops to be sent was that he was worried that the Donghu people would be attacked by surprise, and without any defense, the Xiongnu could easily achieve victory, and let their strength swell in a short time at the minimum cost.
The voice of opposition from the imperial court can still be heard now, as if it happened yesterday.
The picture of the quarrel is even more vivid, and how His Majesty forcefully ordered the troops.
And now, it's all a reality.
Donghu was really vulnerable, even if the speed of the Han army was fast enough, it still couldn't catch up.
I just want to say, don't blame me for not using my strength, it's really my teammates who don't close the hole......
At this point, the baby already knows how to choose, and it is a very simple and clear choice.
"Hanshin ......"
