Chapter 1015: Old Pawn Recruit
Tuoba Guoluo turned back from his horse and looked at the array of his own horses.
The ones behind him are still better, the armor is neat, the military appearance is more serious, and there are few scattered personnel, but the soldiers on both sides are a little crooked.
Most of the soldiers and horses of Xianbei came from between tribes, and basically there was no special training, and this part of the people was usually herdsmen, and when the war order was issued, they became cavalry.
Even in some tribes in Mobei, they were originally attached to the Xiongnu, but later the Xiongnu collapsed, and Xianbei came, so it was changed to the banner of Xianbei, just like treating the old Xiongnu and serving the new master.
In the eyes of the people on the grassland, it is natural for the weak to obey the strong, so compared to the Han people, who are thinner and weaker, they should naturally obey themselves.
Although the men of the tribe are in good physical condition, these people naturally can't talk about military discipline and military rules, and they can really obey orders, that is, the soldiers and generals stationed in the Xianbei royal court, as for the other Xianbei soldiers......
At present, among the military horses, there are also Huns who have surrendered, there are also people from ordinary tribes, there are also people from those old tribes in the north of Yinshan, and there are also soldiers who directly belong to the Xianbei royal court led by Tuyuhun himself. Their banners are different, and when they open their postures, they also tear apart a large area, but the sound of this man shouting and neighing can't be stopped, and his own heralds run back and forth, pulling their necks and shouting with all their might.
Under such conditions, if you want to play a delicate match with each other, this ......
Let's wash and sleep first.
Tuoba Guo Luo sighed inaudibly, raised his hand to signal, and then Tuyuhun behind him took a few steps forward, bowed his head and waited.
Tuyuhun, as well as the guards around him, including the clansmen who came with him, were the real warriors and the most important backbone, and compared with the rest of the soldiers around him, they were more orderly and had a greater sense of honor and tenacity.
In the past two days, whether it is Tuoba Guoluo or Tuyuhun, the mood is not very good, or in other words, for most of the Xianbei soldiers, this mood is not very good.
The small Yin Mountain camp, several attacks, but I can't bite it down, how can I be in a good mood?
Tuoba Guoluo tilted his head slightly and asked, "Over there...... Is there a summons? ”
Tuyuhun said in a low voice: "Hui Xiao Wang, this ...... Not ...... yet"
Tuoba Guoluo lowered his eyes, was silent for a while, and said, "Since there is no news, then...... Keep attacking...... Go catch some dogs and ......."
Tuoba Guoluo pointed to the mound in front of the Yinshan camp and said, "...... Continue to build the soil......"
Tuyuhun replied, and was just about to turn around to leave, but heard Tuoba Guoluo add: "...... Send those two men to ......"
followed Tuoba Guoluo's gaze, but it was the two tribes that surrendered to the Xiongnu.
“…… Yu Xiaowang...... This ......" Although Tuyuhun was a little puzzled, he finally stroked his chest and took his life.
"This black barbarian bull ......," Tuoba Guoluo muttered in a low voice.
Do you understand what it means to be gracious?
The two Xiongnu tribes that surrendered before Jiaotu Guhun Duo used to weaken the strength of these two tribes again, and then it was convenient to better control, but the same can't be used too ruthlessly, otherwise if it is wasted, wouldn't it be a loss of two dogs?
Give some meat to eat.
A new round of attacks has started again, but now the Xianbei people know that there are two ultra-long-range ballistas on top of the Yinshan camp, and lucky draws will be held from time to time, so the generals of the front-line command are either mixed in the crowd in a whisper, for fear that there will be any significant characteristics and attract the attention of the lottery committee, or they are hiding outside the range, and then shouting loudly with their waists crossed and their bellies and necks, for fear that others will see his hidden little man.
Tuoba Guo sat on the stool, holding his cheek with one hand, taking in all these situations, but he didn't say a word, neither urging nor anger, as if all this in front of him was an extremely normal and natural thing.
Tuoba Guoluo's attitude, the Xianbei people under him have also coped with things more and more, originally they would rush towards the camp, but now they are under the camp, they twist left and right and can't move forward, and wait until the Han soldiers shoot arrows from the camp, they will shout, scatter in a hurry, and retreat to the starting position.
The Xianbei people are in such a mixed state, even the Han soldiers above the camp are a little inexplicable, is this still the same army? Or did the brave soldiers die in front of the camp wall two days ago, and the rest are all cowards?
Tuoba Guoluo didn't care about any of this at all.
Now calling soldiers to attack the city is just basic common sense necessary for leading troops.
When people are idle, all trivial things will come out, and they will come out inexplicably.
This is especially true with the soldiers, the blood of the soldiers is relatively vigorous, so they can't be idle, how can they find something to do, as for whether they can attack the camp or not, it is not the most important thing now.
Since the Xianbei King Budugen has sent the royal court warriors, his side is no longer the main force, but has become an assisting force.
And then what?
If you fight here and steal all the limelight, not only will you attack the Yinshan camp, but also plunder a lot of people everywhere, and when the royal court warriors of the Xianbei King arrive, you don't have to do anything, just wait for the class to go back......
Won't you be happy?
Won't it be a surprise?
Of course, King Budugen will inevitably praise him greatly, and even praise him in front of everyone, but then what?
The next time he really needs to ask for help, what will Bu Dugen and the royal warriors who came to think of him?
So now, it's not too late to make plans after there is news from the side of the royal court warriors, not to mention catching some Han dogs to pile up the mound of dirt, which will also save the lives of your own sons, isn't it?
Besides, releasing the Xiongnu will also be a good bait, maybe you can fish out those Han cavalry who are wandering outside.
Since it's a bait, then it's going to be weaker, when did you see the tiger as a bait?
This Tuyuhun is a veteran on the battlefield, but he is still just a recruit in the king's tent!
When can I have some wisdom enough help, I don't have to calculate like this every time, it's troublesome......
………………………………
In the southern foothills of Yinshan Mountain, the cultivated fields that had only been reclaimed for a short time suffered again, and the houses that had just been built for a short time also suffered a catastrophe.
In the night, there was the sound of footsteps stepping on blades of grass and dirt, and in the darkness, I saw a small group of Han soldiers and horses, quietly emerging from the darkness.
It was also a settlement where the refugees were originally resettled, but now it is empty, some of them have fled, while others have been looted by the Xianbei people and died under the Yinshan camp. As a member of the same farming nation, seeing such a situation, there is always a different kind of anger burning in my heart.
This team of people and horses are not wearing iron armor, but only wearing leather armor and helmets, one is to be light and save horsepower, and the other is because of the sound of iron armor colliding with each other, in this era when there is not too much sound at night, it still seems a little too big, which is not conducive to concealment.
These are Zhang Ji's soldiers, and they are also Han army cavalry who have been training on the side of Yinshan for more than half a year.
Yinshan Hetao, vast and boundless, if you say two thousand cavalry, it doesn't seem to be a small number in terms of quantity, but scattered in the Yinshan area, it is not enough.
The Han cavalry led by him stopped, was silent for a while, and then sighed deeply.
Zhang Ji sent a lot of such Han army sentinels, because it was not easy to catch the traces of the Hu people in such a vast area.
Even if this arrangement is made, there is actually some element of luck, because no one knows what situation will be encountered in that place and how many enemy troops will be encountered, after all, there is no radar map to carry with you in this era, and you can clearly see the location and number of enemy troops, all of which rely on scouts to know.
So the scout sentry sent out, in addition to the capable soldiers, also need to be doubly meticulous when investigating, once the Hu brigade is discovered, if it is discovered, not only to escape the pursuit of the Hu people, but also to bring the intelligence back in time, this kind of work, not everyone can do this kind of work.
In the faint light of the stars and moon, I saw the Han soldier walking in front of him, throwing the reins of the war horse to another person, and then slowly walked to the side, bent down, almost lying on the ground, groping, while moving his nose slightly, sniffing like a dog.
Although there is moonlight, it is not as clear as in the daytime, so it must be so in order not to miss the traces of the Hu people. Behind him was a pawn, who followed him in the same motion, bending down and slowly moving on the ground as he watched.
The man who took the lead in the front looked quite experienced, and after a while, he found some traces on the side, and said in a low voice: "...... These damn Hu people...... There are quite a few horseshoe prints...... There's still horse manure over there, and it looks like it's been gone for an hour or two......"
The Han soldiers in the back gradually followed, some shrunk their necks and looked down at the marks pointed out by the Han soldiers who led the team, and some checked the pile of horse manure, and pinched the hardness of the horse manure ball with their fingers......
At this time, the old pawn who led the team had already stood up and looked around.
The old pawn's surname is Niu, what is the specific name, I can't remember, and even whether I really have the surname Niu, I don't know very well, but I know that I lived in Bingzhou when I was a child, and my family was not bad at that time, and there was an old cow at home, and his father would help himself on the back of the cow in his free time, and then he imagined that he had become a majestic general who rode a bull and rushed into battle......
When I was a child, there were only these good memories, and the old cow didn't want to remember the later things, and I didn't want to remember them.
Along the way, two or three settlements have been destroyed by the Hu people, the original houses and wooden fences built have all been damaged, and the fields are also deserted, and from the traces, they are actually the traces left by this period of time.
It is conceivable that one or more teams of Hu people must have started a new round of looting, engulfing all the people here!
The night wind rose suddenly, and the shadows of the grass and trees shook in all directions, and only a whimper was heard, but there was no trace of people......
“…… Over here...... He was ...... by the Hu people again"
A younger Han pawn muttered something in a low voice, and suddenly saw the old bull head, the leader of the Han army at the forefront, raised his fist violently, half-squatted down, waved his hand violently to the back, and said, "Silence!" ”
This squad is composed of two veterans and four recruits, the two veterans immediately stopped when they heard this, and even stretched out their arms to press the back of the war horse, the ears of the long-trained war horse moved, and the tame ones also lay down, but those recruits couldn't help but eagerly pull the bow and arrow and armor bag behind the horse, but the old cow turned around and shouted very lowly: "Don't move!" Watch the horses! ”
There was a gust of night wind blowing, and there were some miscellaneous sounds faintly in the wind, if it weren't for the silence of Siye, it would be difficult to hear.
Lao Niu beckoned a veteran to his side, pointed to the direction where the voice came from, lowered his voice and said, "...... Do you hear anything? ”
"......," said the other veteran, who was uncertain, "...... This is...... Big...... Eating pacmen? ”
The clattering sound of chewing and rubbing was the sound of the cavalry's most familiar companion.
The war horses in the army, feeding should not be neglected, just let the horse release the war horse is not strong. Especially at night, you have to add a lot of ingredients that you can't shake, the more you love horses, the more urgent this thing is, and the most commonly used meal is beans.
The two old cows who led the team glanced at each other, and then quietly followed the sound and touched forward for a distance, and these clicks became clearer and clearer.
In the night, the low sound of chewing came from the front, and there were at least a dozen horses, but there was no sound of anyone's laughter. If it weren't for the fact that Lao Niu was standing in a downwind position before, and then his ears were not bad, and he was a veteran who was familiar with war horses, maybe he might have missed this important information.
The closer you get, the clearer it becomes.
The old cow gestured to the back, and did not directly climb the small hill bag from which the sound came, but chose a small hill on the side, since there were people repairing behind the mountain bag, then there must be a sentry placed on the mountain bag, and he climbed up like this, the enemy was in the dark, maybe he couldn't see the situation but lost his life.
After struggling on the battlefield for a long time, people have become more and more cautious, just like the old cow just let everyone dismount and walk from a distance, in order to avoid making a noise for potential enemies to discover, although I didn't know if there was an enemy here before, but there was no big mistake in being careful, and those who were negligent had long since lost their minds.
I saw the old ox of the leader of the team using his hands and feet together, heading towards the top of the hill, and when he approached the top of the hill, he had already lowered his body and mixed his body with the grass.
In the night, people were in a high place, sweeping around, and with the previous sound as a guide, Lao Niu immediately found that behind the slope diagonally opposite, there was a group of Hu people scouting!
