Chapter 380: The ground is potholed
Speaking of the two ends, after passing through Luo County, the rebels who began to rush back in the direction of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting are on the edge of the Yellow River at this moment.
Seeing that it was getting late, I had to continue my journey tomorrow. Of course, it's nothing to rush at night, maybe it's to eat meat at the same time, but also eat some liver, most of the Huns don't have night blindness.
Maybe those clansmen who are rich in cultivation will have this situation, but the Hun warriors must have meat to eat, at least there will be internal organs or something, and they can open the meat a little.
But it's one thing to be able to fight at night, but it's another thing to be able to fight at night. In the past, night operations were also the norm, and raids at night were the basic operations. Not now, everyone is used to fighting during the day and resting at night.
It can only be said that with the serious sinicization, the Southern Xiongnu began to gradually give up, or forget some traditions. Just like in later generations, the Manchus, who were seriously sinicized, almost made the Manchu language an endangered language, and they still needed to be rescued by the cultural department.
"How's the situation with Guduhou?" Huyan Lu, the leader of the Huyan tribe, looked at the other leader who came out of the tent.
"It's a terrible situation, it's getting worse, and it's going to be bumpy all the way, and it doesn't look like it will last long." The leader of the Hesui tribe shook his head, "Maybe we can give him a ride, and if we go on like this, it will only continue to be painful." ”
"The question is, who will be the leader then?" Hu Yanlu asked rhetorically.
At present, Subu is still alive, so everyone is arguing in private, but at least a relative unity is maintained. If something happens to Subu, then the entire camp must be divided into at least two camps.
One advocated continuing the plunder, forcing the Han people to retreat to rescue; One is that he feels that his tribe and people are in Xihe County and must go back.
Raiding is advocated because the main tribesmen have already come out, and those who are left to depend on them are ignored. The risk of looting outside is lower than the risk of going back to rescue; The opposite is true for those who advocate return.
Among those who advocated plundering, there was even an extreme tribal leader who proposed to loot a large number of Han women, and then directly within the Han land, a new Xiongnu tribe was developed.
It's amazing that everyone just smiled and didn't object or agree. In the end, it was Su Bu, who was still conscious, who spoke and returned to help, so everyone could only return for help.
All this is based on the fact that if Subu is still alive, if he dies, who should he listen to at that time, whether he should return to help or continue to plunder.
The question of "eh......" is in front of me, except for a sigh, but I don't know what to do.
The next day, the army marched, crossed the Yellow River in about two hours, and then began to accelerate. This distance of 25 miles can be reached in about an hour.
However, after advancing for more than ten miles, when I arrived near Longwang Ditch, I found that the ground was full of potholes.
Such roads are very difficult to walk, especially the potholes, which are almost the size of fists, and can easily sink the horse's hooves into it and cause fractures. For cavalry, this kind of pothole can even be described as 'malicious'.
It's not just a small area like this, the whole section of the road for some reason, it's a bit potholed, uneven, you know, when I came out two months ago, it wasn't like this.
"What should I do?" Huyanlu looked at his companion.
"What else can I do if I fill in the pit and then go...... You can't go up the mountain, can you? The companion replied.
I had to waste some time to fill in the hole in front of me, and it was delayed for about two quarters of an hour. I had to curse a few words, and then I was worried that there would be such a hole in front of me, so I could only slow down slightly.
Anyway, it is only a dozen miles away from Shan Yuting, so you can take your time. It's just that I feel that I can't fight today, so I can only find a chance to attack the city tomorrow. By the way, there is also a siege...... Damn it's a siege!
I was complaining about it in private, and it seemed that something flew out of the mountain...... Originally, there was nothing strange about it, this broken mountain, and occasionally a few birds flew out of the fuss.
The problem is that there are a bit of them, more than twenty, and they look like they're getting bigger...... Meow!
By the time they realized that something was wrong, the little black dot in the sky had become a large piece and fell towards them.
After a burst ......of "boom, boom, boom, boom" sounded, a burst of dust stained with flesh and blood was raised, and the entire position was smashed into pieces, and the formation had become messy.
"Why are there falling rocks?" Huyanlu suddenly roared, "We have been ambushed!" ”
He now seemed to understand why the area was so potholed, not naturally formed, but the ambushers were confirming the location of the stone. They didn't need to aim very accurately, after all, their army of 70,000 was very large, so huge that a single falling rock could kill several people.
As he spoke, in the grass on the ground, a large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared. They wore strange clothes and disguised themselves as grass. Because of this, I didn't even notice it before!
No, no, no, maybe it's mainly everyone's attention, which is attracted by the potholed roads. When they walk, they are all staring at the soles of their feet.
"Shoot!" Cao Xing gave an order, and the crossbow arrows were shot out one after another, and they were also attached to the storm arrows. And it wasn't aimed indiscriminately, it was specifically aimed at the area where the rebel generals were.
Huyanlu walked in the front, he was now staring at his chest, the blood hole formed by a crossbow bolt piercing, and began to regret, regret why he was in front......
"Retreat!" After shooting once, Cao Xing showed no signs of affection and immediately ordered a retreat.
The Hun rebels who reacted chased after each other, and it was too easy for a group of cavalry to catch up with a group of infantry!
As a result, the other party walked halfway up the mountain, suddenly bent down and cut the rope on the ground. At this time, several nets disguised as 'haystacks' or 'rocks' fell, along with logs and gravel on them.
"Back off, back off!" Realizing that something was wrong, the rebel commander shouted at them, but logs and stones were already smashed towards them. Many horses were overturned, and the unlucky ones were hit by bouncing logs, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead after falling off their horses.
"Stop!" Cao Xuan immediately gave the order, "Turn around and shoot!" ”
The crossbowmen stopped, then turned around, wound their arrows or crossbows, and fired again. However, this time, it does not have the bonus of Storm Arrow, and its range and penetration are much worse.
"It's normal, but it's not very adaptable......" Seeing this, Cao Xing was very dissatisfied with this result, but he was helpless, after getting used to the great power, he was actually unsightly at this level now.
At the same time, the second round of stone-throwing on the hill was ready, and it was immediately thrown towards the rebels below.
Just when the rebels were completely in chaos, a cavalry rushed towards them......
