At the same time, on the steppes of the far north.

Han Xin took 30,000 people to eat beef and mutton, and if he couldn't finish it, he simply roasted it and put it on his body.

The Huns are still the same old routine.

Although Han Xin had already made a lot of noise on the grassland, he never shied away from their marching route.

However, the Huns took away the tribe's young men and horses, leaving only the old and young women and children and a small amount of living materials.

When he didn't defeat Donghu before, he used this set, and it seems that he can still talk about the past.

But now they still use this method, which makes it a little elusive.

It stands to reason that there are no more enemies of theirs in this steppe, and they can take them all with them.

Han Xin couldn't figure out what the Huns wanted to do.

So they attacked several tribes one after another, and in the end all they got was some food.

This was the first time Han Xin really realized the difficulty of the Huns.

It was also the first time he really realized that his previous imagination was too simple.

And this battle may not be fought in ten years.

The Huns on the steppe are as cunning as air and difficult to catch.

Simply catching these old and weak people they left behind has no effect.

What Han Xin did was just snatch their livestock, and he didn't really do anything to these people.

Sooner or later, these people will be taken back, although they are old, there are still women and children in them, and it is impossible for the Huns to give up on these people.

"Take all the women away!" Han Xin looked at the camp in front of him, there were fearful eyes everywhere, and said viciously.

"General, didn't General Guan say that he wouldn't let us bring women?" The subordinate wondered.

The order of the infant irrigation is very clear, they are only responsible for finding the main force of the Huns.

When you meet those tribes, you go up and take them directly, and then replenish the rations and leave.

Don't kill people, don't take women, let them continue to consume the Huns' livestock.

"The Huns are closed but not fighting, how long can we hang around here? The farther you run away from the border, and if you run further, you will really be alone! Han Xin looked up at the sky.

Can't you really find the Huns?

Found it.

The scouts found a lot of Hun cavalry scouts in the surrounding area, and they were closely observing the Han cavalry.

And every time the Han scouts caught up, they would immediately flee.

All the lightly armed Hun cavalry, even the scouts could not catch up with the speed.

There are dozens of pounds of equipment on his body, and there are more things like Takahashi saddles that weigh one or twenty pounds.

If calculated, the weight that a horse needs to bear, under the same weight of a soldier, is about sixty or seventy pounds more than that of the Huns.

The standard equipment of the Han cavalry was a cavalry spear, a ring-headed sword, a bow, twenty arrows, and a twenty-one-pound armor, plus a two-pound helmet.

While it brings strong attack and defense, it also brings some inconvenience to the action.

Han Xin said viciously: "Isn't he able to run?" Don't you think I can't kill? Then snatch all their women and see if he comes! ”

Han Shin has already made up his mind.

The Huns must no longer be allowed to lead the way by the nose.

Since you don't come, then I will continue to plunder the women, rob them all, and turn your Huns into a situation where there are more men than women.

It's okay not to care about physiological needs or anything, but what about fertility?

You're, you don't have enough women to help you give birth, and your tribe can only get weaker and weaker.

And people are not livestock, they can give birth to several of them at a time, and they can also give birth to one child a year.

Even according to the most conventional, it is the most popular at the moment, and it will take at least a year for a woman to conceive a second child from the beginning of pregnancy.

This is still the craziest level, ordinary people, basically a year and a half or two years.

Therefore, population growth needs a huge cycle to support.

What the Han army is doing now is to drain their foundations, so that they have no way to support the development of this cycle.

In the past, nomads liked to do the most to go south to plunder the population.

Men became slaves, and women became vassals of the Hu people and began to help them procreate.

Therefore, no matter how low the status of women on the grassland is, they are not even regarded as human beings.

But when the Han army began to plunder women in large numbers, the Huns still couldn't sit still.

Han Xin's men had three horses, and the 3,000 heavy cavalry had five horses.

In addition to the heavy cavalry, Han Xin divided the remaining 27,000 men into eleven parts.

They went to the tribes they had been to before, and took away all the women.

They don't need to walk, if there are many people, they will carry two people on one horse, and if there are few people, they will leave on one horse and one person, and then send them to the base camp, where Han Xin will personally take care of them with 7,000 cavalry and 3,000 heavy cavalry.

In just three days, Han Xin kidnapped nearly 30,000 Donghu women.

And it's still going to masturbate at a more frantic pace.

Five days later, Han Xin already had 60,000 Xiongnu women in his hands.

These women were all over the age of ten and under thirty, and the surrounding tribes were basically swept away by Han Xin.

Seeing the results, Han Xin nodded with satisfaction.

"Retreat!"

Aren't you closed and not fighting?

If you have the ability, you continue to dog behind, and watch me bring all these 60,000 women back to the Han realm.

Not to mention anything else, there are more than 20,000 women over there, adding up to nearly 90,000 women.

What does this mean?

It means that although it did not deal a substantial blow to the combat effectiveness of the Huns, it caused the Huns to suffer a great loss of vitality and could not recover for 20 years.

Donghu plus the Xiongnu, with a population of only about 1.5 million people, took away nearly one-sixteenth of them at one time, can the Xiongnu endure it?

Han Xin guessed that there was a high probability that it would be unbearable.

Of course, if the Huns could endure it, then Han Xin would willingly say that he was defeated.

"No, no, please......"

The army marched south, taking with it a multitude of women.

In front of a camp, this is the only way for the army to go south, so the Han army who came here to arrest people before also walked together directly here when the army came.

A Xiongnu woman in her twenties had a hint of ruddy on her dark face, her face was full of tears, and she pleaded bitterly with the expressionless Han army.

"Go up!" The Han soldiers made a gesture to draw their ring head knives.

The army has already come, and they have no time to delay here.

The army doesn't stop, so they need to be prepared in advance.

A hole would come out of the army, and then the women would follow the hole into the middle, and the two thousand men would fill the gap to prevent them from escaping.

"Please, let me take the child, he is only a year old......," the Hun woman pleaded bitterly in broken Chinese, her eyes glancing at the crying baby lying alone on the ground.

The people next to him didn't mean to come forward to pick him up, their eyes were full of hatred and indifference, as if they didn't care about the life and death of this child.

"Do you know Chinese?" The Han soldiers were stunned and couldn't help but look at this Hun woman.

"Yes...... Yes, my man is Han Chinese......"

"Where's your man?"

"I'm going out to fight with the tribe!"

"It turned out to be a traitor...... "The Han soldiers suddenly sneered, and their attitudes changed.

For this Hun woman, she obviously can't understand what a traitor is.

But she could clearly feel the change in the attitude of the Han soldiers.

"My man also took the tribe to the border to trade with you last year, he said that he saw your General Han, and he said that he ......" The Hun woman suddenly remembered something in a panic, and quickly took out a wooden card from her body, handed it to the Han soldiers, and said: "And this, my man said that General Han gave him this, and said that he could save our lives when he met the Han army in the future!" ”

The Han soldier took the token and looked at it, well, I couldn't understand it......

I can't read the words, and I can't read the style of the token, which is different from any of their tokens.

"What are you doing with grinding and chirping? If you like it, make a mark, and wait to go back to the special mother's complaint! Dozens of paces away, an officer reprimanded sharply.

"Five hundred lords, he has this, he said that General Han gave him a man, I don't understand......" The Han soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and handed the token to the five hundred lords.

The five hundred lords took it and looked at it, and immediately threw it to the ground on the side: "What is it, what is it that General Han gave it, why don't you say that Your Majesty gave it?" ”

The scout beside the five hundred lords frowned slightly, and immediately dismounted and picked up the token.

After a careful inquiry, he asked directly, "What about her man?" ”

"Follow the main force of the Huns!" The soldier recognized the man's identity and did not dare to hide anything.

"Take her away, have a better attitude, and don't go too far!" The scout commanded directly.

"Uh...... She wanted to take his son, saying he was only a year old! ”

"Let her take it, pay attention to the ......" The scout paused, then shook his head, and said, "Forget it, let her bring her son over, I have something to ask." ”

"No......"

The soldier hurriedly went to tell the Hun woman, and after getting permission, the Hun woman hurriedly learned the Han people to give a salute to express her gratitude, and then rushed to the crying baby lying on the ground.

"What's the situation?" Although the five hundred lords had some doubts, they probably counted them in their hearts.

"Scout!" The scout said with a serious expression.

Of course, he knew that the scouts who infiltrated the grassland in the early stage were basically all married, and in order to protect the identities of these people and prevent accidents.

The imperial court was not without arrangements for them.

For example, this token looks very arbitrary, as if it was made at random.

In fact, it was made randomly, very rough, although it was written in Chinese characters, but it was written with the name of their grassland, and then on the lower left side of the name, there was an oblique notch.

Outsiders naturally can't read it, but the scouts can tell the identity of the owner of this token at a glance.

A man named Aluca, who belongs to the grassroots scout on the left.

Soon, Tana was brought over with the baby in her arms.

After a simple questioning, I learned about the specific situation.

After the Xiongnu occupied the camp, they left some old and young women and children, as well as some old men to guard the camp here.

The others continued the battle with the young men of this tribe, and they never thought that the Han army would come from behind them.

"Let's go......"
