Chapter 140: It's Too Late
Tang Qi took Huo Qubing and 500 Yulin troops to the north, and after walking for less than half a day, he ran into a group of people who retreated south.
About 300 people, with the old and the young, young men and women all riding horses and bending bows.
Obvious characteristics of the border people.
The leader was a man in his forties, who saw Tang Qi and Huo Qubing and hurriedly greeted him, shouting loudly from a distance of 100 paces.
"The two generals, the younger ones are the people who took refuge in the county seat in Qingquan, this is the test of Lu Taishou's hand! Don't get hurt by mistake! ”
As he spoke, he held up a plank of wood.
A Yulin cavalryman rode up on his horse, first scolded the other party to dismount, and threw his weapons on the ground.
After everyone did so, they took the plank with their knives and quickly rode back.
The rest of the Yulin cavalry surrounded Tang Qi and Huo Qubing in the middle, and aimed their swords and bows at the group of panicked people, staring at them.
Both sides look like they are facing great enemies.
It wasn't until this moment that Tang Qi had the real feeling of being in a border county.
"Brother Tang, don't worry, this is not far from Fuyang, it shouldn't be a Hun spy."
Huo Quzhi saw Tang Qi's nervousness, smiled and comforted him, and then the wooden block looked good.
It tells the origins of the people, their origins, the specific number of people, the number of men, women and children, and when and where they set off.
Very detailed!
There is also the official seal of the Taishou Mansion, as well as the article written by the Taishou Lu Fang himself, ordering the pass army to be released along the way.
Huo Quzhi read it word by word, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed it to Tang Qi.
Fu shouted again: "That man, are you Li Zheng in the clear spring?" ”
"The villain is exactly!"
"Where is Qingquan, have you encountered Hun spies?"
"Back to the general's words, Qingquanli is on the mountain south of Juyong Pass, which is under the jurisdiction of Changping County, and I often see Hun spies passing by! The villains have also caught it a few times with the military masters! ”
"A few days ago, Taishou and the county order came to us, so that the people in the small belt retreated to the county town of Fuyang for refuge, so as not to be harassed by the Huns!"
The answer is correct.
Huo Quzhi smiled and said, "No problem, let's go!" ”
The people breathed a sigh of relief, still with their swords sheathed and their bows loose, leading their horses slowly across the range of the cavalry's crossbows.
A few teenage hairy guys stared at the majestic Yulin Army with full body armor, and their eyes were called envy!
When Huo Qu's illness was on, a boy who was just above the wheels suddenly stopped and shouted to Huo Quai: "General, I don't want to run, you take me, I also want to kill the Huns!" ”
"Shut up!"
The boy's family was excited, and he quickly knocked on the baby's skull.
pressed his head to make amends to Huo Quai: "The general forgives the sin, the dog is naughty and mischievous, and you don't remember the villain!" ”
"It's okay, they're all good men of my big man!" Huo Quzhi smiled heartily, "Boy, my big man is not so down-and-out that he wants a doll who hasn't even grown hair to join the army!" ”
"Grow up well, if you still want to kill the Huns when you grow up, go to your county captain!"
"Sons, let's go!"
The five hundred Yulin cavalry responded with a bang, and went away under the awe-inspiring gaze of the people, rolling up the dust.
After walking for a while, the group was completely gone.
Huo Quai's face sank: "X's, let Brother Tang smile, I really met a group of Hun spies on the edge of this Yanmen Governance Office!" ”
Tang Qi was not surprised: "Taishou has gone out to find the border, and he can still let the Huns touch in, which shows that our Lu Taishou really doesn't know soldiers." ”
"Hmph, so incompetent, how can you be too guarded by the border county!"
Huo Quzhi drew his saber and ordered murderously: "Go back, leave one or two alive, and cut down the rest of the young and strong, and rescue the old and weak women and children!" ”
"No!"
The Yulin Army suddenly agreed.
Immediately, three hundred cavalry followed Huo Qubing and rushed back, leaving only Tang Qi and two hundred light cavalry still waiting in place.
Regarding Huo Qu's arrangement, Tang Qi was not surprised at all.
Street fighting is completely different from killing enemies on the battlefield, and he is also a civil servant.
Not to mention that he can throw Wei Qing into a dog and gnaw mud, even if he is really able to carry the Ding, Huo Qubing will not let himself go to the battlefield casually.
Especially this kind of short-handed cavalry raid, what you want is to be fast and accurate!
Unless there is really no way!
Of course, there is a difference between defending a city and fighting in the field.
If it was a battle to defend the city, or if tens of thousands of troops met head-on, Huo Qubing would not have to ask Tang Qi to hide in the rear.
At most, it's just to send more people to protect it.
As for what Tang Qi himself thinks.
This kind of battle with no suspense at all, can you kill the enemy with your own hands, what is there to worry about?
What's more, he really hasn't seen the battlefield of the Cold Weapon Era, and it's not too late to prove himself after he is mentally prepared.
Besides, who said that you have to go on a horse to cut down to convince the soldiers?
Strategizing is also a general's skill!
……
After a while, Huo Qubing returned with the departing cavalry, all covered in blood, and the murderous aura had not completely dissipated.
There were dozens of fewer people in the ranks.
"X, those Hun spies are really bad, they hurt several of my brothers!" Huo Quzhi spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, "Brother Tang, don't worry, no one died in battle." I sent more than 50 people to take the rescued old and sick brothers back to the county seat. ”
Tang Qi put his mind at ease: "Did you ask something?" ”
There were no prisoners among those who returned, and there was really no need for prisoners in this level of warfare.
"Uncle is right, the Huns are indeed fighting the idea of Shanggu County, they are here to fight the front station!" Huo Quzhi grinned and opened his big white teeth, "Brother Tang, have you heard of Zhao Xin?" ”
Tang Qi raised his eyebrows: "It's Zhao Xin?" ”
"That's right!" Huo Quzhi gritted his teeth, "This traitor has sent His Majesty and my uncle, as well as the Huns of the Changshui Battalion and the Huqi Battalion, all hated this guy who ate inside and out. ”
"This time it fell into my hands, see if I don't take his head to vent my anger to Your Majesty and Uncle!"
Tang Qi had expected Zhao Xin's arrival, and he was not surprised.
I didn't expect that Huo Quzhi would be so generous to this person!
However, it is not incomprehensible, it is Liu Chena's idea to reuse Zhao Xin, and it is Wei Qing's military order to let Zhao Xinbu bear the heavy responsibility in the field.
As a result, it became one of the only two stains in the history of Wei Qing's war against Hungary.
I can't help Huo Quai, this uncle can't blow up!
"Let's go, hurry up and go to Juyong Pass." Tang Qi picked up the reins, "Hurry over now, maybe you can catch up to stop this Lu Taishou from digging a pit for us." ”
It would be a disaster to let a conscientious military and political commander command a large-scale defensive campaign!
Because you can't predict where they're going to dig a hole for you!
Huo Quzhi's face changed: "Brother Tang is right, let's hurry up!" ”
When the Huns really pressed the border, it would be too late to make any more arrangements!
