Officers of all ranks, who received the order to attack, lowered their voices and shouted to the soldiers.

And the soldiers did not babble, they followed their superiors silently.

Lü Wu did not join the first wave of attack echelons.

He is a commander, not an ordinary soldier, and it is his job to see the big picture.

Before, he sent archers into the mountains.

The archers had already entered the attack position halfway up the mountain, and waited for the order to shoot arrows.

And Lu Wu, he is also on the mountain.

The archer hides behind a plant or tree trunk, already holding a bow and arrows in his hand, and can shoot arrows downward as soon as he stands up.

The mountains here are not too large to see the stones, and the soil under your feet is yellow.

It may be that no one goes up the mountain at all, the plants grow wildly, and there are no mountain paths.

Once there are many plants, there will inevitably be more insects.

Their biggest trouble when they went up the mountain was nothing else, there were exaggerated cobwebs, and the ground was full of all kinds of bugs, but luckily not a single tiger or bear suddenly appeared.

Herbivores? When they find someone, they either stand there and look at it cutely, or they suddenly disappear.

From Lu Wu's field of vision, he could see that there were nearly a thousand people on the east side of the mountain moving slowly, disappearing from time to time, and then reappearing the next moment.

There are no big rocks in this valley, but the vegetation is unusually dense.

A variety of trees, tall and short.

Weeds taller than people.

Indispensable are vines that like to hug their thighs and thorns that crisscross everywhere.

They advanced in two groups along the foot of the valley, not in the middle.

Lü Wu's gaze turned to the Di people's camp.

The camp is not small, and it is strange that there are no livestock to be seen.

"Was it put somewhere else?" Lu Wucai didn't believe that the Hu people would have no horses, cows, and sheep, or what kind of Hu people? He waited patiently until his soldiers came within twenty paces of the camp and exclaimed, "Prepare to release the arrows!" ”

One archer after another stood up and drew their bows and arrows.

Lu Wu paused for three breaths and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”

The sound of "release the arrow" formed an echo in the valley.

The Hu people in the camp, they stopped their movements, looked up at the top of the mountain on both sides, and saw the Jin army archers on the mountain with sharp eyes, and the next second they saw the arrows flying in mid-air.

One shout, followed by countless shouts.

Obviously, the Hu people did not perceive in advance that the Jin army was approaching, and they did not find out until the Jin army had launched an attack.

The shouting was made by the Hu, who scurried around like frightened rabbits.

The soldiers of the Jin army who became a running posture and launched a charge were also shouting, but they shouted: "Kill!! ”

Huo Qian ran at the forefront of the attack echelon, his body scraped with the branches and leaves of various plants, and the vision in front of him was also bright and dark again and again, rushing to the front of a fence wall, without thinking about crashing into it sideways.

The fence wall fell down in response, and he saw a few dumbfounded Hu people in front of him, and continued to rush forward with his sword, and easily solved one of them, without stopping the pace of rushing forward.

More Jin soldiers broke through the fence, shouting and waving their weapons at the Hu people they could see.

Lu Wu, who was standing halfway up the mountain, saw that the Hu people had no intention of resisting, and found that if he was attacked, he ran to the other side of the valley.

Lu Wu had already stopped the archers from continuing to release arrows, and asked them to shout to themselves: "Kneel on the ground and don't kill!" ”

The difficulty of this battle is only the preparation before the attack, and after the real fight is one-sided.

In fact, the vast majority of the Hu people were old and weak, women and children, and they had suffered a sudden attack, how could they confront the heavily armed Jin army?

Hundreds of years later, the Weihuo Legion entered the grassland, the Weiqing Legion fought the Xiongnu head-on, and the Huo Qubing Legion swept the rear of the Xiongnu.

Huo Quai's army attacked these Xiongnu tribes who were not many young and strong, but they did not encounter much stubborn resistance.

When Lu Wu came down from the mountainside and walked into the camp, he saw the prisoners who had fallen to their knees in rows.

"Brigade Marshal!" Huo Qian, covered in blood, trotted to Lu Wu's side, and saluted: "More than 3,000 people have been captured." ”

The rest fled to the other side of the valley and were soon escorted over.

There are definitely some who will hide or even climb mountains to escape.

The Hu people, who hide in densely populated areas, need time to find them.

Hu people who want to climb the mountain and escape, there will be archers to shoot them.

Lu Wu looked up at the sky.

It took more than a day and a half to prepare for the attack, but the start of the battle ended in an hour, the sun was still hanging in the middle of the western sky, and there should be two hours before the night shrouded?

There were already auxiliaries rummaging through the entire camp, and if they felt that it was valuable, they took it and gathered it, and then loaded it.

Soldiers were armed with weapons to guard the captives.

"Torture the captives, ask where the livestock are." Lu Wu glanced at the captives kneeling on the ground, mostly women and children, and said, "Where are Pinnacle and Yushi?" ”

The two little nobles who had already taken refuge in Lu Wu immediately trotted over, saluted and shouted: "Please command, brigade commander!" ”

Lü Wu ordered: "Lead the headquarters to escort the prisoners out of the valley and stand by outside." ”

The young men of the captives had long been tied to the body of a cut tree, and a tree was tied to a more or less person.

They carried the tree on their backs and were driven away by the soldiers.

And some of the Hu people who resisted fiercely were killed.

Women and children must also be tied, but they do not need to carry the body of the tree, and they are tied into strings one after the other.

Huo Qian asked blankly: "No longer marching?" ”

Lu Wu said: "It will be dark. ”

They returned from the way they came, went out of the valley with their captives and booty, and came to a relatively flat area where they had been, and camped with the mountains on their backs.

In the evening, Huo Qian, who led the troops to find the livestock, returned, and also brought back a considerable number of horses, cattle, and sheep.

Therefore, how could the Hu people not have livestock, they must have been placed elsewhere to shepherd.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Lu Wu'an sat in the main seat, with a seriousness on his face that his subordinates couldn't understand, and said: "There are many strange things about this expedition......"

The Hu people on the banks of the river did not migrate, and the answers obtained after torturing the captives were varied, and they were summed up as not getting instructions to migrate.

The answer given by some of the captured chiefs or family members was that the leaders of the large tribes had instructed them to take refuge in the mountains and forests.

One thing is 100% certain.

Indeed, the young men of the various tribes were summoned.

They would unite and assemble into a great army, but those who remained did not know where they had gone.

Lu Wu has his own judgment.

Since the Hu people have gathered a large army, no matter why they did not let the tribes on the side of the river migrate, the army will definitely be assembled to fight the Jin army.

So did Bai Zhai's army avoid the eyes and ears of the "Shang Army" and enter the territory of the Jin State a long time ago, or did it go south to join the Qin army?

If it was the former, Lü Wu guessed that Bai Zhai's army should be north of "Pu", that is, the plain near Lüliang Mountain.

In this case, regardless of any military strategy, just from the point of time of the seasonal rotation, Bai Zhai's army has definitely begun to move south.

Maybe just before the "lower army" and the "middle army" crossed the river, Bai Zhai's army came to the "Jiaogang" city.

Lu Wu didn't say what he thought, but definitely this expedition was not to grab things, and the key was to eliminate Bai Zhai's military strength.

It's just that he didn't guess some things, and after guessing, he needed to at least communicate with Cheng Hua.

In this way, he let the "brigade" under his command temporarily be stationed in place, and let Huo Qian temporarily manage the army.

On the pretext of carrying prisoners and booty, he took the appropriate troops and escorted the prisoners and booty back to the place where Cheng Hua was stationed.

"Wu?" Cheng Hua was very surprised to see Lu Wu, and said in surprise: "It's too early to return." ”

Lu Wu didn't have too much politeness, told his guess again, and gave the reason why he speculated so much.

Cheng Hua fell into silence for a long time after hearing this.

"Cheng 'Shuai', I know that I am in his position to seek his position, but it is just ......"

Lu Wu saw Cheng Hua raise his hand and stopped talking.

"Ben 'Shuai' sent someone to inform Han Bo." Cheng Hua raised his hand and waved it, and said very seriously: "There is no new order, as before." ”

Lu Wu saluted and withdrew from the military tent.

That is, the general of the army, Han Ju, is Lu Wu's father-in-law, and he also thinks that Cheng Hua is very good, otherwise he can lead the army to pick soft persimmons and pinch them vigorously.

Now that Cheng Hua has already expressed his position.

Lu Wu emphasized more, almost pointing at Cheng Hua's face and scolding him for being incompetent.

Next, Lü Wu returned to his headquarters and led his troops to search for one Hu tribe after another, most of the time he was just rushing and searching, and a few times he was bullying some Hu tribes who were not many young and strong.

When he came to the appointed rendezvous time, he took the troops and prisoners of war and booty with little attrition to the rendezvous place.

As soon as he arrived, he was summoned by Cheng Hua before he could catch his breath.

"Wu!" Cheng Hua's face was a little annoyed, but his eyes were full of appreciation, and he said: "This 'handsome' sent people to 'Jiaogang', as you saw with your own eyes, Bai Zhai's army ......"

Come on!

was really guessed by Lu Wu, Bai Zhai's army didn't know if it happened to miss the "lower army" and the "middle army", and they forced into the position of "Jiaogang" in the back.

"The next general has passed on a new order." Cheng Hua took a deep breath before continuing: "My 'division' went north, looking for a place to cross the river and enter 'Pu'. ”

Didn't you hurry back to "Jiaogang" to relieve the siege for the monarch?

Lu Wu's lips moved, but he still didn't raise his question.

Before, their entry into Bai Zhai's territory was an act of venting the anger of the monarch.

The "lower army" and the "middle army" only obeyed the orders of the king, and did not send troops into the enemy's territory to sweep through without permission.

Other countries don't know who dug the pit from the beginning of the Jin Kingdom, and they buried it themselves, and they were responsible for falling into it.

Han Ju obviously did not intend to be a high-spirited monarch, but wanted to return to the rear of Bai Zhai's army to find an opportunity to annihilate in a war.

This is worth thinking about.

Does Han Ju think that national affairs are more important than the safety of the monarch?

Or did Han Ju believe in the combat effectiveness of the "Shang Army" and think that there would be no danger on the side of "Jiaogang"?

Lu Wu was a little curious now.

Did the "Chinese army" that went north find out about the situation of "Jiaogang"?

If Luan Shu of the "Chinese Army" knew, what choice would he make?

There are some things that you can't think about too much, or people will blacken them.

Now, Lü Wu really understands the righteous governance environment of the Jin Kingdom.

In a word...... Hard, hidden, twisting, pinching, ......pinching, and so on, the confrontation is really intense!
