Chapter 649: A Failed Deal
『Chapter error, click here to report』
The biggest difference between the Hu people's march and the Han people is that the Hu people basically don't do much to set up camp. The Hu people set up camp, it is better to build a fence for the livestock, so that in the middle of the night, these big and small guys suddenly received something frightened, and then they ran away, as for the people, they generally find a flat land, put up a tent and finish the job, and will not deliberately build any walls or anything like that.
The advantage of this is to save time, in fact, this is also an important factor that the Han people can't chase the Hu people on the grassland, and they always feel that the Hu people are as elegant as the wind. After all, it is easier and faster to build a fence for livestock than to build a camp for all people. This saves a lot of time and allows for a quick march.
Under normal circumstances, the march of a large army is thirty or forty miles a day, which does not mean that it can only walk such a long distance, but the time spent on camping and burying pots and cooking in a day is delayed.
But the camp has the benefits of the camp, at least Zhang Yang is now staying in the well-repaired and strong camp, and he will not be too alarmed when he sees the Hu cavalry coming.
If the foot soldiers encountered the same number of cavalry on the flat ground, it would be a disaster, but with the protection of the camp wall, it still has the strength to fight.
Sure enough, after the Hu people discovered Zhang Yang's camp, they slowed down, stopped far away, and sent a few horsemen over, in a strange tone, threatening that they were going to Jizhou, with the troops who gave Yuan Cheqi gifts, and asked Zhang Yang why he blocked the road here, and quickly demolished the camp and made way of the road......
Demolition of the camp? You're a big mouthful!
Isn't it funny, saying that it will be demolished?
The camp should be set up in a key position, not in the middle of the road, can it not be possible to climb to the top of the mountain to set up camp?
But it was said that it was a gift for Yuan Cheqi?
Zhang Yang will be skeptical.
Zhang Yang carefully identified the Hu people in the queue, and it seemed that he did see some idle horses, mixed in with them.
Yuan Che needs a war horse to ride, and Zhang Yang still knows about this matter. After all, Yuan Cheqi was in contact with the Wuhuan people, wasn't it also to get more war horses from the Hu people in the north?
Is this true?
Buckle down the war horse given to Yuan Che to ride, Zhang Yang doesn't have any guts, but he still wants to negotiate a little, and it's good to add one or two hundred war horses to himself......
Zhang Yang sent an envoy to show his identity as a subordinate to Yuan Cheqi, and then explained that he did not set up a camp here to intercept the opponent's military horses, and then asked if he could trade some war horses.
Zhang Yang deliberately did not say anything about the passage of the camp, because unless the Hu people made a detour, they had to pass through their own camp if they wanted to pass through this place, so they were not afraid that the Hu people would not give in.
Sure enough, the Hu people got together, and after chattering and discussing for a while, they replied that they could exchange their armor weapons for twenty war horses......
"Twenty horses?!" Zhang Yang's eyes widened, "Twenty horses are useful?" It's not like I don't give armor weapons! At least two hundred horses! ”
The messenger ran back and forth several times before finally settling on one hundred and twenty horses, which could be exchanged for three times as many armor and weapons. If the price is stable, an ordinary war horse is about 50,000 yuan, an ordinary armor is about less than 10,000 yuan, and an ordinary military war knife, not the kind of 30 or 50 refining, is only about 1,500 yuan, so after calculation, Zhang Yang has made a profit in this business.
"Prepare, whoever goes, go and count the weapons and armor!" Now that the deal has been negotiated, it is also a good thing for Zhang Yang to get one hundred and twenty war horses, "Who is that!" Take this piece of armor away, it's still fucking new! That loser got it?! If there is no broken one, change it quickly! ”
The Han people lack horses, and the Hu people lack iron. Although there are many times when the two sides are opposed, sometimes they will trade with each other. When Zhang Yang was in the state, he didn't do this less, so he was also very skilled, and he was used to it, what he gave to the Hu people, just said it was in the past, did he really exchange it for brand new armor and weapons?
However, the same is true for the horses that the Hu people replaced, most of them are older......
There is no way, the Han people give the old blades, and the Hu people give the old horses, this is a convention, both sides know in their hearts, there is nothing to say, just about it.
Before the camp, the Hu people took out one hundred and twenty war horses, and then exchanged them with Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang didn't say anything, and directly opened the camp gate and let the Hu people pass through the middle of the camp......
It seems that everything is normal.
But the unexpected happened at this moment.
I don't know why, the Hu people who had just entered the camp suddenly ran around like a broken hornet, shouting, trampling on the camp tent, and even lit torches and began to set fire everywhere, and the whole camp became a pot of porridge in an instant.
"What's going on?! What's going on?! Zhang Yang couldn't react, why did he seem to be trading normally one second, and the next second he drew a knife and slashed people, wasn't he the Hu man who gave a gift to Yuan Cheqi?
Although the speed of the horses in the camp of the Hu people did not increase very much, when the heavy body of the war horse collided, not many people had the courage to confront it head-on, especially the soldiers under Zhang Yang, who had only been recruited for a short time and had not received much systematic training.
The sudden attack of the Hu people caused Zhang Yang's soldiers to fall into chaos directly, and they could not find any establishment among themselves, so they could only rely on instinct to escape and resist......
Just as Zhang Yang began to gather soldiers and prepare to kill the Hu people who were scurrying in the camp, he suddenly found that the earth began to tremble strangely, and a large number of cavalry came out from the direction of the Hu people, and they were galloping at a fast horse!
Where did this army come from?!
Although there will be scouts on the ancient battlefield, there will also be blind spots, especially when the lights are dark, after a team is discovered, if the scouts do not continue to investigate, or if they are not careful, they are likely to miss the troops behind them.
No matter how stupid Zhang Yang was, he understood that he had fallen into a trap, and roared angrily: "Wuxin Hunu! No faith Hunu! ”
It's a pity that it's too late for Zhang Yang to shout now, and the open camp is like a warrior who has taken off his armor, and countless wounds have been cut in an instant, and a lot of blood is dripping out.
Under the double attack of internal and external, Zhang Yang's troops were quickly defeated.
Under the protection of the guards, Zhang Yang, who was fleeing along the edge of the camp, suddenly saw the Hu man galloping on the horse in front of him, who seemed to be the leader who had traded with him before......
