Chapter 10: Night Raid

Because he had 300 horses, Zhang Hao selected 300 men from the 500 soldiers.

And the person who wanted to be a deserter was personally beheaded by Zhang Hao before setting off in the name of disturbing the morale of the army.

However, Zhang Hao, who has never killed a chicken in two lives, forced himself to kill a person this time. The head fell to the ground, blood gushed out, and splashed on Zhang Hao's face. The warm and sticky feeling is still too exciting.

However, Zhang Hao was strong-willed, and he couldn't help but let himself vomit, which made the soldiers look at him a little differently, and felt that he was a little different from those soft boys.

Zheng Meng didn't feel much about this scene, but was a little excited. Sure enough, people like him with defective IQ are ruthless people.

Zhang Hao asked everyone to bring three days of grain and grass, because if they didn't catch up in three days, they would definitely not be able to catch up.

Then Zhang Hao arranged for the remaining 200 people to follow behind on foot with clothing, food, and other supplies, just in case of emergency.

"Let's go!" With Zhang Hao's order, the three hundred improvised cavalry rushed towards the north.

At this moment, when Zhang Hao led the army to set off, sixty miles north of Fang County, a cavalry of more than 200 people was moving forward slowly.

Among them was a group of men whose hands were tied with hemp rope and then dressed together one by one, more than four hundred people. The group of people walked forward with their heads bowed and numb, as if they had lost hope for the future.

This team was in Shanghe Township to burn and loot the Wuhuan cavalry and the captured civilians.

The leader was the son of a leader of the Wuhuan tribe, named Azha.

"Young master, this Han people are really rich, in such a small place, we have robbed so much property, food and slaves." A guard said.

"It's just that, especially women, look much more smart than those women on the grassland." The other guard also said with a lewd smile.

"But the men of the Han people are of no use at all, they obviously have so many people, but when they see us, they either scatter and run away, or they kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. Do you remember the man who threw his sword aside and knelt on the ground? Aza said with a smile.

"Remember, that guy knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, if it weren't for the young master's understanding of Chinese, we wouldn't know what he was talking about."

"The guy said that as long as he and his family were spared, all the property could be given to us. Hmph, what he said is mine for a long time, and even his life is mine. They still want to use my stuff to negotiate terms with me. Aza said disdainfully.

So I cut off his son's head with a knife in front of the man. I think back to the man's sluggish expression now, and I think it's funny, hahahaha. ”

"Then I sent him to my son, and snatched his wife, and at night I had to listen to her screaming below me, hahahaha."

Aza enjoyed the process, and thought to himself that the Han people should tremble under our iron hooves and deferentially offer their wives and daughters.

"Young master, the Han people are so useless, why don't we grab more?"

"You know what," said Aza with some exasperation, "we've already grabbed enough food and belongings to survive the winter, and if we take it with us?" After saying that, he whipped the mouthy guard.

"Wouldn't it be good to stay somewhere else and come back next year? Just like when we graze their cattle, if we let the cattle and sheep eat all the grass roots on the ground, then the grass will not grow in the next year, and the cattle and sheep will not go hungry, then we will also be hungry. ”

"The young master is right."

"The young master is wise."

Aza had a smile on his face, as if he was proud of his intelligence. In fact, he knew in his heart that if he couldn't see it, he would accept it, and when the Liaodong vassal government got the news and sent his cavalry out to surround and chase him, then he would have to die in the Han Dynasty.

As soon as he thought of Shi Gongsun Zhan, the governor of Liaodong, Aza's heart couldn't stop trembling, it was a real ruthless person. He once dared to fight hundreds of Xianbei cavalry with dozens of cavalry, and finally won.

And he now has 3,000 cavalry under his command. In front of a beast like Gongsun Zhan, he is like a lamb. That's why he was so angry when his subordinates proposed to continue the raid, and they whipped him.

Aza thought in his heart: This Gongsun Chan didn't take us Hu people in his eyes at all, and his attitude towards us Hu people was too domineering. If he had been a little nicer to us Hu people like Lord Thorn Shi, we wouldn't have had such a hard time. Yes, it was entirely because of him that we went south to loot.

……

Soon it was getting dark, and it was less than a hundred miles from the tribe. But Aza didn't feel the need to go back in such a hurry. From sneaking out of the house to successfully grabbing so many things, I ran around for three days in a row. I haven't had a good rest for so long, so take a good rest tonight and let myself and my subordinates relax.

A camp was quickly set up, a campfire was lit, and soon the smell of meat filled the air.

Then came the men's excited laughter and the women's wails of pain.

In another place, Zhang Hao sat in front of the bonfire and ate steamed cakes, that is, steamed buns without yeast, without that soft and delicious feeling, so he could only swallow them forcibly with water. It's enough to fill your stomach, and the field march doesn't pay so much attention.

At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

"Report! No cavalry was found in the north. A scout came back to report the situation to Zhang Hao.

"Report! No cavalry was found to the east. "Another scout is back.

"Report! There was no sign of cavalry to the northeast. ”

"Report! There was no sign of cavalry to the northwest. ”

Zhang Hao sent out a total of five waves of scouts to reconnoiter in five directions: east, northeast, north, northwest, and west. As a result, nothing was found in all four directions, and only the west side remained.

"If there weren't even the west, then probably wouldn't have been able to catch up with this cavalry. If they continue to travel at night, they can return to the gathering place of the Wuhuan people in Liaodong at dawn. Alas~"

Zhang Hao sighed in his heart. Could it be that if he is about to leave office as soon as he takes office, he can definitely go down in history, but what he left behind is just a joke.

Left and right, the scouts from the west have not returned for a long time. This made Zhang Hao have a glimmer of hope and anxiety in his heart.

Hopefully, the western scouts did find out that something was going on, and the uneasiness was that if the scouts were discovered, they killed the scouts and knew that they were chasing after them, and then fled again in unknown directions. That Zhang Hao was really empty.

Just when Zhang Hao became more and more uneasy because of the long wait, and planned to take someone to the west to take a look, the scout finally returned.

"Report! Qiyu County, there is no trace of cavalry in the west. However, when his subordinates returned, they saw that there seemed to be fire in the south, so their subordinates went to investigate and found the camp of the Wuhuan cavalry. The scout said.

"Good!" Zhang Hao slapped his thigh and stood up. I thought: I said that there is nowhere here, it turns out that we have chased too much. These animals walk so slowly, but they really don't take the Han people seriously, do they think they can leave as if they were committing such a crime? I must make them pay for the arrogance and ignorance in their hearts.

To be precise, Aza didn't take Zhang Hao to heart. He thought that the subject country of Liaodong, and even the entire Youzhou, was only one Gongsun Zhan was a terrible person, and everyone else was a lamb to be slaughtered.

Officials in a place like Fang County must report the situation when they encounter this kind of thing, and then the county government will issue instructions. After this coming, he had already run back to his hometown.

So Aza didn't rush to the road, and second, he didn't send out a ranger to reconnoitre, so he walked on the way home with such a big grin.

But Aza never thought that Zhang Hao didn't ask for instructions, so he directly came to chase him with cavalry. Of course, it doesn't matter if you know, the three hundred cavalry that were temporarily put together, and his two hundred Wuhuan warriors can completely teach these Han soldiers to behave.

"Say, where are these animals now?" Zhang Hao asked.

"Encamped thirty miles southwest of this place."

"Herald! All the troops are on their horses and go! After learning the situation, Zhang Hao shouted loudly.

……

The hour has passed, and the moon is dark and the wind is high.

The camp of the Wuhuan people was quite quiet at the moment, but from time to time there were the snoring of men and the sobbing of women's shadows. This is in every one

Aza was sleeping soundly, and he was still holding a plump and beautiful young woman in his arms, she was Li Youxi's wife.

A day ago, she was a famous noblewoman, and she was a figure with a head and a face in the social circle of Shanghe Township and even Fang County. Everyone will give her face for Li You's sake.

At this moment, her body is covered with scars, which shows how she was tortured before the man next to her slept.

Coupled with the tragic death of her husband and son in front of her during the day, the physical pain and the endless hatred in her heart made it difficult for her to sleep.

She thought about suicide when her family was killed, but unfortunately she was controlled and tied up by Aza.

Although it was painful now, she tried to keep herself from crying, just tears. It's worthless to die now, and she plans to wait until it's time to take revenge.

This happened in every tent.

I don't know how long it took, but she seemed to faintly hear a faint voice.

Outside the camp, Zhang Hao and three hundred county soldiers were slowly approaching.

Because the horses that Mi Zhu lent him were not war horses, and those county soldiers were not real cavalry, so two miles ago, Zhang Hao led everyone to dismount and walk, leaving only a few people to guard the horses.

When he was fifty steps away from the camp, he saw a sentry Wuhuan man sitting in front of the bonfire and drowsy, Zhang Hao was still very happy in his heart, God helped me.

"Cousin, can you shoot the guy sitting next to the campfire?" Zhang Hao asked Zheng Meng.

"Don't worry, cousin, look at me." Zheng Meng patted his chest and said confidently.

When Heaven closes a door, it opens a window. I have to say that after Zheng Meng closed the door of intelligence, the opened window of force still wanted to be powerful. Not only was he immensely powerful, but he was also so talented that he could learn archery on horseback. It's really in vain, Zhang Hao let him learn martial arts as soon as he arrived in Fang County.

I saw Zheng Meng easily pull out a stone bow and shoot an arrow at the sentry Wuhuan man.

With a whoosh, the arrow passed through his throat, and the man fell to the ground and died without making a sound.

Seeing that the sentry was dead, Zhang Hao got up and drew his sword, pointed to the camp, and shouted loudly: "Sons, rush in with me to avenge the dead fathers and villagers in Shanghe Township, don't let go of a single Wuhuan person, kill!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Hao rushed out first.

Seeing Zhang Hao forgetting his life and death like this, the three hundred county soldiers were all aroused by the blood courage in their hearts, and the shouts of killing were suddenly deafening.

"Kill!"

"Revenge for the folks!"

Although Zhang Hao was the first to rush out, he was gradually surpassed by others. Whether it was because he was physically exhausted because he was a scholar, or because he deliberately slowed down, only he knew.

Zheng Meng was the first to storm the camp and then began to slaughter indiscriminately. He is a fierce general himself, and now these Wuhuan people are still asleep, for a while, everywhere he goes, no one survives.

Then he found the place where the Wuhuan people had put their horses, mounted a horse, and made his way through the camp.

After the county soldiers rushed into the camp, they also frantically slashed and killed the Wuhuan people, and set fires everywhere, and the firelight illuminated the entire camp.

Amid the shouts and screams, Aza finally woke up, put on a coat, grabbed his weapon and ran out of the tent, seeing the flames and his men being slaughtered.

Two guards brought over a horse and shouted loudly: "Young master, it's the Han Chinese, they have attacked our camp, let's go quickly, it's too late." ”

It's just that they weren't as fast as Zheng Meng, and he saw these people who wanted to run at a glance on his horse, so he rode his horse and rushed over.

"My cousin said that there will be no one left."

Before Aza could get on his horse, he saw a big man on horseback rushing towards him, and he was immediately shocked.

Zheng rushed in front of Aza and slashed his head.

"Young master, be careful!"

One of the guards stood in front of Aza, drawing his sword and trying to fend off. But how could he stop Zheng Meng's strength, and was split in half by Zheng Meng's knife with a knife.

Zheng Meng jumped off the horse directly and slashed at Aza again.

Another guard slashed at Zheng Meng, intending to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

He succeeded, Zheng Meng stopped caring about Azha, blocked the guard's attack with a backhand, and then raised his leg and kicked him to the ground.

The guard fell to the ground and squirted a mouthful of blood, and said painfully: "Young master, run away!" Then he was cut off by Zheng Meng.

When Aza saw that the two guards were dead, he was terrified and angry, and they had been following his cronies since childhood.

"I'll fight with you." Aza screamed and rushed forward.

Zheng Meng ignored it, raised his leg and kicked him into the battalion commander.

The woman in the tent saw Aza fly in upside down, and fell to the ground wailing, and the knife in his hand fell right at her feet.

"It's providence."

The woman picked up the knife and ran to Aza as fast as she could, slashing at him frantically.

When Zheng Meng walked into the tent, Aza was covered in blood and flesh, and a naked woman was tirelessly slashing there.

"Don't cut it, he's dead." Zheng Meng reminded.

Unexpectedly, when the woman heard someone talking, she slashed at Zheng Meng with a knife again.

Zheng Meng didn't care who came, and slashed the woman to death.

"They all say I'm stupid, and this woman is even more stupid." Zheng Meng didn't look at the two corpses that fell to the ground, turned around and joined the battle again.

With the light of the fire, when Zheng Meng killed the woman, he saw the corners of her mouth on her face raised, as if relieved.
