Chapter 240: A Gift to Li Jing
Hou Junji's soldiers and horses were the first to rush into the cow heart pile.
Except for more than 100 wounded soldiers and dozens of soldiers who stayed behind to guard the captives, all that remained was a pile of cattle and sheep running around and captives tied up with all kinds of things.
If Hou Junji came a little later, maybe these captives would starve to death.
There are only so many people, and there are seven or eight thousand captives to watch, although most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, but it is definitely a stressful matter.
So these captives basically only have one chance to replenish their water and eat something every day, and the rest of the time they are all tied up, and they are all divided into groups, and whoever dares to resist in one group will be killed by the whole group.
When Li Kuan left the cow heart pile, he really missed Dafei's slave catching team a little.
"Chief, the situation has been clarified, the forward battalion has captured Niu Xindui for three days, and left around noon yesterday, saying that the men and horses pursuing Fu Yun went."
In the city, the largest room was full of people.
To be honest, at this moment, Li Jing was still a little confused, feeling as if he was dreaming.
The men and horses of the forward battalion actually easily took the ox heart pile, and it is said that the battle damage was less than two hundred.
If it weren't for seeing thousands of heads piled up at the gate of the city, and Murong Xiaojun's heads in front of everyone, Li Jing would have thought that the forward battalion was not lucky and picked up a bargain, and the army of Niuxindui was not there.
"Have you figured out what the battle has been going on? Why was the forward battalion able to easily take down such a big tribe as Tuyuhun? ”
Although Li Jing received the battle report left by Li Kuan, it was only a few hundred words, and there was no description of the details of the battle at all, which made him itch.
"The chief manager, the last general thinks that the plan for today is to pursue Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses as soon as possible, as for how His Royal Highness the King of Chu captured Niuxindui, it is not too late to learn more about it when we meet later."
Hou Junji felt that he had been in a hurry for more than half a month, but he didn't get a single battle, and he didn't have a chance to make a meritorious service, so he was very depressed.
Why Duan Zhixuan was removed by Li Shimin, can Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, be unclear?
If the army goes out this time and repeats the old path of last year, it is estimated that he will not fall well.
"The whole army repaired for a day, replenished dry food, and then divided the troops into two roads, north and south, and converged in Weiding County in the former Sui period."
Li Jing quickly made a decision.
The north and south of the West Sea are fertile places for Tuyuhun, and there are many tribes scattered in them, and it is possible for Fu Yun to flee in any direction; But no matter where you flee now, you will definitely end up in the direction of the end of the county.
……
After Li Kuan left thousands of prisoners and tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses for Li Jing, one person and two horses went straight to the direction of Fuqi City.
Although Fu Yun would definitely not stay in Fu Qi City after getting the news of the army's attack, Li Kuan had no better choice for the time being, so he would sweep all the way and weaken Tuyuhun's vital force.
Even if Fu Yun retreats with his troops, he will always leave traces, Li Kuan just keeps chasing after him, and when Fu Yun can't stand it, he will naturally come out for a decisive battle.
Wang Xuance: "Lord Wang, why do you ask everyone to bring as many mares as possible?" ”
After leaving Niuxindui, the forward battalion marched west for two days and then came to the shore of the West Sea, and went along the West Sea to Fu Qi City.
Tonight, the forward battalion is encamped on the western seashore.
"The place we are in now is a relatively low terrain in Tuyuhun, and the water flow is abundant and fertile, so naturally we don't have to worry about drinking water. However, if we continue to go west, it will be difficult to supply supplies and drink water. With a mare, mare's milk would be a good addition. ”
Li Kuan did this, but also learned from the Mongolian army of later generations, and tried to bring some mares when he went out to fight, which could not only be used in combat, but also reduce the need for logistics supplies.
In particular, a forward unit like Li Kuan pays attention to a rapid attack, and it is difficult for the logistics unit to follow him, so he can only bring his own and maintain a very small number of logistics personnel.
"Huh? I see. ”
Li Kuan's answer obviously exceeded Wang Xuance's expectations, as a Tang person, most of them are not used to drinking mare's milk, and Wang Xuance has not even drunk mare's milk.
"So what do you think?"
Li Kuan smiled, walked out of the military tent, and came to the edge of the West Sea.
This West Sea is the Qinghai Lake in later generations, which is the largest inland lake in this continent.
"Xue Li, bring a few spears over here, this king will improve the food for everyone tonight!"
Seeing a family covered with a thick layer of ice in the West Sea, Li Kuan suddenly sounded the picture of winter fishing in Chargan Lake that later generations saw from the tip of his tongue.
Although there are no fishing nets, dig a few holes and some of the fish will jump out of the water on their own.
In this winter, any fish that jumps out will stick to the ice in a few seconds, and then quickly become a chilled fish.
In order to maintain the morale of the forward battalion, continuous victories are the most important, but it is also indispensable to improve the food from time to time.
In the past ten days, basically all I eat is beef and mutton or whale jerky, and fresh fish is unimaginable.
Xue Li's movements were fast, and a few spears were quickly brought over.
Under Li Kuan's orders, Xue Li, Xi Junmai, and Wang Xuanwu found a place one after another, "Bang! Boom! Boom! The ice was dug up.
This movement naturally attracted the attention of Su Lie and others, and many soldiers surrounded them.
"Lord Wang, can you really fish like this? If you don't have a fishing net, it's hard to catch a fish if you just use a spear as a harpoon, right? ”
Wang Xuance asked for everyone's heart.
Although after arriving in the West Sea, everyone wanted to catch a few fish to improve their food, but looking at the hard ice, everyone died of that heart.
"Haha! In a moment, the king will let you see what it means to throw yourself into a net, and you just have to wait and eat the fish. ”
Li Kuan didn't bother to explain to them the principle of catching fish like this, anyway, it didn't make sense for them to understand, as long as they knew that they could catch fish by doing so.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
Under the personal hands of several fierce generals, no matter how hard the ice is, a hole is quickly pierced.
"Be careful, don't fall in."
Li Kuan took a few steps back, at this time, if he fell into the water, he would have lost most of his life.
"Make this hole a little bigger."
Piercing a point, it becomes very fast when it expands again.
It's just a cup of tea, and a few big holes appear in front of everyone.
"Lord Wang, it seems that there is no movement?"
Wang Xuance bent his waist and looked into the hole.
"Ahh
As soon as Wang Xuance finished speaking, a shadow rushed from the water in front of him, directly hitting his key part, and then the hole became lively.
Wang Xuance covered his crotch, and his tears were about to come out.
