Chapter 167: Where is the Han Army?
"Oh, oh, oh!"
The grain conscription team let out a strange scream, and they all became energetic in an instant.
However, he said that the reason why this unit did not dare to go back after wandering for two days was not because he was afraid of himself.
The military rations are dwindling day by day, and the nobles above are becoming more and more impatient day by day.
Tribes like them, which come from a small background and are not hard enough, are likely to become the target of killing chickens and monkeys.
When there is not enough food, they will attack their own people, which can be regarded as the glorious tradition of the Huns.
Generally, the 3,000-person grain collection team is basically composed of about 500 or even less Xiongnu warriors, led by a white household, plus 2,000 vassal tribal cavalry.
The composition of this army was the same, 500 Huns, plus more than 2,500 Donghu people.
The leader is a thousand households.
There are only 500 warriors in a thousand households, which is enough to explain the status problem.
"At all costs, we must set foot in that village!" Dong Muhe, a thousand Huns of the Huns, said ruthlessly, "Otherwise, go back empty-handed and let Wanhu get angry, and none of us will be able to escape!" ”
"Oh oh oh!"
Not only the Huns, but also the Donghu people who accompanied the team were even more crazy.
The Huns were killed to make an example, at most a few leaders were killed, and the rest were scattered and distributed to other nobles.
These vassal tribes, if they don't say it well, they will be exterminated!
Even if they are lucky enough to survive, when there is not enough food, they will be the first to starve to death!
The two Donghu Qianhu rushed to the front, beating the war horse fiercely.
"Kill all the Han people!"
"Snatch up their food!"
Thirty miles away, the steppe people who grow on horseback can arrive in less than half a day!
According to Dong Muhe's experience, the men in charge of guarding in the Han village often have a warning range of about 200 meters.
Coupled with the time it takes to report back and forth, it is impossible for Hermes-Epitek to escape.
At most, it's just organizing to resist.
And the 3,000 cavalry, in addition to the 500 elites of the headquarters, followed by the Donghu people, among the vassal tribes, the combat effectiveness is also the best.
Dong Muhe was fully confident that before the Han reinforcements arrived, he would wantonly kill and plunder and then retreat leisurely.
Just like countless times in previous years!
Even if there is a beacon tower, it is just to delay the resistance of the Han people a little longer.
A small village, not even a city wall, is an earthen fence.
What to take to stop the warriors of the Huns!
……
The convoy was directly east, about two kilometres away, behind a dirt bag.
The five Han scouts were lying on the ground, not even looking for a bunker.
In addition to a knife-wielding guard, the remaining four people have a telescope in their hands, observing the four directions of southeast, south, and north.
"Hey, it's coming!" The sergeant in charge of the west was suddenly excited, "They went to Wuli Village, and it is estimated that they will be there in half a day!" ”
"Great, go and report back to Captain Huo!"
Although Huo Quai's more than 3,000 cavalry were heavily armoured, with the blessing of one man and three horses, the marching speed was not much worse than that of light cavalry.
On the way to Zhao Xinbu, he happened to meet this grain collection team.
Huo Qubing immediately issued an order, and the whole army dispersed, preparing to encircle and suppress these 3,000 Huns!
The so-called "Li Village" found by the Xiongnu Tanma was also found by Tang Qi in advance with more than 300 elites, and the people inside had already evacuated, and the entire village was empty.
Tang Qi asked his subordinates to change into the clothes of the common people and dress up as men and women, old and weak.
also pretended to scatter a few strong men out, pretending to be young and strong in charge of vigilance.
Sure enough, it was successfully hung to this grain team that wanted to go crazy with food!
Near dusk.
Dong Muhe finally arrived within 500 meters of Lizhai, and then ordered the horses to stop and repair for the time being, waiting for the final charge.
To deal with the border people's earthen fence defense, the Xiongnu had already found out their experience.
You just don't need to siege the city, just keep rushing.
The Han Chinese were often afraid of the cavalry charge and would soon retreat.
"How's it going, is there an ambush?"
Dong Muhe was still very cautious, and did not forget to send a large number of probe horses while marching, in case he fell into the trap of the Han army.
The returning Tanma smiled with a mouthful of big yellow teeth: "The villains' moves are lit, and the four directions are clear, and there is no shadow of the Han army at all." ”
"If the Han army hides farther away in order not to be discovered, it will be too late to support!"
"That's good."
Dong Muhe looked around, and there were endless grasslands.
Except for the domesticated black eagle, which was bored, and from time to time swooped down to catch a prairie hare to satisfy its hunger, there was no movement.
Although I was still a little uneasy in my heart, my confidence in my own mobility and yearning for food prevailed in the end.
"Ready?" Dong Muhe asked around, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he suddenly pulled out his saber, "Donghu people are in front, rush over in one breath!" ”
The two Donghu Qianhu were also mentally prepared, and they also raised their knives and shouted.
"Rush in, kill the old men and children, make the men slaves, and give you the women!"
"Roaring ——!"
Thousands of cavalrymen had already held back their red eyes, screaming and urging their horses, and sprinted towards the ideal defenseless Han village.
Three thousand horsemen charged at the same time, shaking the mountains in an instant.
However, as the distance continued to close, the panicked shouts of the Han people did not appear.
Just when Dong Muhe had some doubts and was about to order a temporary halt to the march, several Han people on horseback suddenly appeared in the distance.
The young men saw the movement from a distance, let out a cry of fear, and fled without looking back, as if they had gone to report the news.
Dong Muhe was relieved at this time, and said with a cruel smile: "Chong, kill all the sheep-like Han people, and the children can have a good meal today!" ”
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The Donghu people at the front were full of momentum, and their speed was a little faster.
However, the distance is getting closer and closer, and the legendary Tuweizi is seeing it, but the imaginary Han people who are fleeing in all directions are not at all.
Not only that, but under the earthen fence in front of him, there were a handful of neatly arranged black shadows.
Like a cavalryman in full gear!
"Ambush?" Dong Mu was in a trance when he was united, "Just such a person?" ”
A moment of hesitation made him miss the last opportunity, and suddenly a horse ran madly from the side, and shouted at the gallop: "Qianhu, there are a large number of Han troops in the east!" ”
"A thousand households, there are also in the west!"
"A large number of Han cavalry appeared in the rear, thousands of households, we are surrounded!"
Dong Muhe was shocked: "How is it possible?" ”
He obviously cautiously sent out scout horses, all of them are the most elite condor archers in the tribe, and there are specially domesticated black shadows, and no movement can escape their eyes!
Could it be that the cavalry of the Han army fell from the sky?
At this time, it was too late to stop, Dong Muyi gritted his teeth: "Continue to rush, break through the defense line of the hundreds of people in front, and go back to find the king!" ”
