Chapter 542: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

For several days in a row, Yang Biao seemed to be crazy, frantically attacking one city after another.

Because the deployment of Xiongnu troops in various places has been mastered by Yang Biao.

Therefore, the corresponding troops can be sent to attack every time, so basically two or three castles can be attacked every day on average.

Although cavalry is a disadvantage for siege, the Huns are also cavalry, and they have little experience in defending cities.

In addition, everyone knew that the Han army was in Loulan, and although they had not moved their nests for several months, the Huns still did not dare to be careless.

After all, if you are careless, what you may lose is your life.

So everybody's staring to the west.

When Yang Biao's troops came out, the Huns fled in an instant.

At the beginning, some of those who got the news, who were a little farther away, still had the heart to pack up the spoils, and then slowly evacuated, leaving the Han people with an empty city.

But then the style of painting changed.

The Han Chinese attacked two or three cities a day, with the same frequency for several days in a row, which frightened the Huns.

In this way, it is estimated that before they left the city, the Han people surrounded them first.

So the Huns in the back could only take some light loot first and flee quickly.

Yang Biao's madness not only frightened the Huns, but also gave him a lot of benefits.

The area where they are located is still stuck in the era of slash-and-burn farming.

And the biggest feature of this farming method is that the land planted is like a dog gnawing, this piece and that.

And they harvest slowly, a little later, because there is almost no management of the cultivation.

This also led to the fact that when the Huns retreated, even if they wanted to set fire to the grain, they could not do it.

If the harvest is finished, it will be solved with a fire.

If there is a detailed management, it is similar to Loulan's side, it is nothing more than putting two more fires and directly destroying the grain in the ground.

But now, it's not a matter of two fires.

They want to destroy this grain and grass, and basically all of them may not be able to stay for three or four days.

And in three or four days, before they could finish destroying it, the Han people came.

So, don't toss, just run away.

As a result, these grains were cheaper for the Han army.

Although the yield is not high, it is better than nothing, Yang Biao also played a shameless role, ordering them to harvest as soon as possible, and then hand over half of the harvest to the Han army, otherwise they will be dealt with by the Huns.

The frightened natives of the Western Regions instantly forgot about their laziness, obediently went to the field one by one to start harvesting, and then began to hand over grain according to the requirements of the Han army.

At the same time, in order to facilitate reception, it is convenient to deal with some unexpected situations.

Yingbu was not idle here.

The troops did not rest in place, but continued to move closer to the west, pulling in the transportation distance of the trophies, so as to save manpower and time.

Ten days later......

Yang Biao, who had been crazy outside for ten days, also felt very tired.

After all, running two or three cities a day is also quite energy-consuming.

There is no problem at all to describe the current Yang Biao as a sleepy person.

Fortunately, the main force of the British and Bu forces got a short rest in these ten days, and the energy and morale of the troops gradually recovered.

Although it has not fully recovered, it is much better than when I first arrived.

At least now the main force of the British and Bu is the energy of the first war.

And Yang Biao also withdrew with his cronies according to the request.

Of course, the troops were not withdrawn, they were scattered into various cities, and the troops divided by the British side would replace them.

"I've tried my best, some things can't be done too absolutely, otherwise things in the future will not be easy to deal with......" Seeing Yingbu, Yang Biao's first sentence was to show his attitude.

"Of course, the old man knows that you have tried your best, and the effect is not bad, but the old man can't continue to wait here, you must go north as soon as possible, and you can't stop here for too long, and then continue to search, first store the grain and grass, in case the old man does not catch up with the main force of the Huns in the north, he will not starve to death on the grassland." Yingbu nodded.

The madness of 15,000 people can be seen by yourself.

Although the grain and grass of the army are still being consumed, without reducing the rations, only five days of grain and grass have been consumed in ten days, is this not enough?

Anyway, Yingbu felt that he could be satisfied, and he couldn't say anything to scold his mother at this time.

After thinking about it, I still think that our soldiers are reliable, unlike Zhao Tuo, who is a thief.

The front was afraid of this and that, and after Yang Biao went out to open up, he followed behind and constantly planted people to take over various places.

How shameless the special mother is, how shameless is it, and when the next report comes, if the old man doesn't join you in front of His Majesty, Lao Tzu's special mother will have your surname!

"To be honest, it's a bit difficult to ......" Yang Biao thought about it seriously, and decided to remind Yingbu.

"Of course the old man knows that it is difficult, but now there is no way, right? I can only hope that the main force of the Huns will not run away......" Yingbu shook his head.

What can he do?

The situation reported by the scouts was that, according to the information inquired on the road, the main force of the Xiongnu was about ten days away from them.

This is all inquired news, where is the main force of the Huns?

No one knows now, maybe they will have to wait another ten days for the scouts to come back and tell them the results.

But this is obviously impossible.

The grain and grass did not support them to do this at all, so they could only take advantage of the fact that the troops had just recovered a little vitality, and hurriedly went north to find the main force of the Xiongnu.

In any case, if he gets a batch of livestock, he will be able to slow down and recover a little bit.

"General, I actually have an idea!" Yang Biao said again.

"Oh?" Yingbu was instantly interested, and now as long as he can get food and grass, he doesn't care about the rest.

"Although we have taken a lot of cities these days, the Huns have not fought with us, they have all run away in advance."

"And from what I've learned, they should have gathered together, and they weren't far from us."

"The location of the main Xiongnu forces in the north is unknown, maybe they have been moving north, maybe General Han has already started a war with them, these are unknown."

"What if the army rushes north, what if it doesn't encounter the enemy?"

"So you might as well go and take down these Huns first, get certain supplies from them, and then get the position of the main force of the Huns from them, that is, solve the problem of food and grass for the army, and also know the problem of the main force of the Huns, killing two birds with one stone!"
