Chapter 331: The First and Second Battalions of the Northern Expedition! Fifth Update!
Due to the capture and seizures, the average speed of the Qin army declined, and the average advance was seventy miles, sweeping three medium-sized and two small Xiongnu tribes, beheading more than 3,000 Xiongnu lonely and widowed old people, capturing 30 cattle, sheep and horses, and capturing 4,000 Xiongnu.
On February 10 of the twelfth year of the Holy Qin, the fourth day of the Great Qin Empire's Northern Expedition to the Great Desert.
The deeper you go into the Bailan steppe, the easier it is to run into the Xiongnu tribe, at the same time, the Xiongnu also noticed the abnormality, there are several armies that meet the migrating tribes, as soon as the two meet, the Xiongnu run away, but the Xiongnu who lack horses can't run the Qin army with horses, and if they meet, they can hardly run.
On this day, the Qin army marched an average of fifty miles, swept through four small and medium-sized tribes, beheaded more than 2,000 Xiongnu lonely and widowed old people, captured 30 cattle, sheep and horses, captured 3,000 Xiongnu, and expanded the actual control of the Great Qin Empire to 350 li!
The division of the Northern Expedition was invincible, and everywhere it passed, the blood flowed like a river, and the Huns who killed them panicked and fled in embarrassment, and the military flag of the Great Qin Empire was also rooted in the soft land again and again, announcing to heaven and earth the belonging of this fertile land!
On February 11 of the twelfth year of the Holy Qin, the fifth day of the Great Qin Empire's Northern Expedition to the Great Desert.
On this day, the Ten-Route Qin army all transferred troops to return to the Daqin Temporary Expedition Camp of the Abagh Department, not because they didn't want to continue fighting, but because there were too many captured Huns, which seriously slowed down the advance of the army, and it was necessary to send the captured goods and captured Huns back to the camp, and the Ten-Route Army only brought ten days of rations, and if they didn't return to the division to resupply the camp, they would be hungry.
On the fifth day of the first day, February 16 of the twelfth year of the Holy Qin, the tenth day of the Great Qin Empire's Northern Expedition to the Desert!
Abagh Great Qin's Temporary Expedition Camp!
"Brothers, we're back!"
"Oh!"
"Long live Great Qin!"
"Damn, the grassland is poor like a ghost, I saw someone eating dead human flesh!"
"yes, they said at first that it was smoked and dried lamb, and I almost ate it, but now that I think about it, I want to throw up!"
"Several brothers ate greedily, but they vomited for three days in a row, and they haven't recovered yet!"
"Haha!"
In addition to capturing a large number of Huns, they did not capture many cattle, sheep and horses, all of which added up, but only about 200 cattle, sheep and horses, causing many soldiers to complain that the grassland was too poor, and there were many soldiers who were greedy for a while, and tasted a mouthful of smoked wild mutton in the mouth of the Huns, and when they learned that it was dead human flesh, their stomachs almost vomited.
The army won one victory after another, so that the morale of the Qin army has been at its peak, every soldier is full of self-confidence, while those captured Huns are eclipsed, listless, and their faces are always in fear.
The black armor and military flag have become a signal for the Huns to ask for their lives in the eyes of the Huns!
When you see one of them, you have to run, keep running, or you will either die or be captured as a slave!
Handsome tent!
In the handsome tent, Yingchang was wearing dragon emperor armor, hanging a dragon and phoenix sword on his waist, wearing five-clawed black dragon boots, only a hairpin was inserted on his head, and he did not wear a golden tasseled black carved dragon helmet, the helmet was placed on the handsome table, and he was also sitting on the handsome position, looking around at the generals below with sharp eyes like swords.
The generals below are Zhao Hao, Ma Daring, and Du Changjing, plus Ying Chang's words, there are four people in the tent, except for Zhao Hao's expressionless face, the other three have smiles on their faces, and the army continues to admonish, while the soldiers are excited, several of them are also very happy.
"Your Majesty, this division of troops, our army has captured a total of eighty cattle, ninety sheep, one hundred horses, plus the cattle, sheep and horses originally captured in the Abagh Department, we now have three hundred cattle, sheep and horses, and the number of Xiongnu widows and widows killed has reached nearly 10,000, and the number of captured Xiongnu has also reached 9,000, plus the 7,000 of the Abagh Department, we now have 16,000 Xiongnu prisoners!" Du Changjing bent down with a smile on his face to make a report.
"Now within three hundred miles north of the Great Wall, it has been swept away by my Great Qin, and it is within the actual control of my Great Qin!" Zhao Hao's eyes were slightly red, and his face was expressionless.
It can be said that half of the nine thousand killed by the division of troops were killed by him personally, watching the poor lonely old man die in front of him, his mentality has changed from resistance to habitual, and he feels deeply tired physically and mentally.
"How much food does our army have?" Ying Chang asked indifferently.
When Du Changjing heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about food, although there are now 16,000 more mouths to eat, but the food for the Hun slaves is limited, and the food cannot be consumed, and the food is not for our army, there is no need to worry about it!" ”
Ying Chang nodded, he was worried that there were more and more Hun slaves being captured, and there was not enough food to eat, and now listening to Du Changjing's words, a small stone in his heart fell.
"The captured cattle, sheep and horses are not allowed to be slaughtered, but they must be kept for planting, which is not only the hope of the Bailan Prairie, but also an important source of meat for my Daqin!" Ying Chang said indifferently.
The Bailan Prairie, not surprisingly, must be the territory of the Great Qin Empire, and Yingchang doesn't want the Bailan Prairie to become a barren land in the hands of Daqin!
"The last general understands!" Du Changjing bent down and responded.
In fact, he had already told his subordinates not to kill the captured cattle, sheep and horses.
Shuai Tent quieted down, Zhao Hao, Ma Daring, and Du Changjing were all silent, as if they were all waiting for Ying Chang's next instruction, and Ying Chang also fell into deep thought, thinking about what to do at this time, and after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth to break the silence.
"I am going to change the temporary expeditionary battalion of the Great Qin of the Abagh Department to the first battalion of the Northern Expedition of the Great Qin of the Abagh Tribe, and the first battalion of the Northern Expedition will leave an army of cavalry to garrison and guard 16,000 Hun slaves and 200,000 stone of grain!"
Du Changjing raised his eyebrows, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”
Ying Chang nodded, and said in a light tone: "The first battalion of the expedition is the place where slaves and grain and grass are held, and it is also the supply station of the division of the Great Qin Northern Expedition. ”
"In this way, we don't have to worry about the lack of food, and we don't have to worry about how to solve the problem of the Hun slaves, after the establishment of the first battalion of the Northern Expedition, the remaining 57,000 soldiers and horses set aside two hundred miles away to establish the second battalion of the Northern Expedition, first sweep for ten days, and then leave a cavalry army to garrison the second battalion of the Northern Expedition, guarding the Hun slaves and grain, and so on, until the entire Northern Desert is full of Northern Expedition camps!"
Du Changjing and Zhao Hao fell into deep thought when they heard this, but Ma Daring was at a loss when he heard it.
