Gao You and the remaining defenders were forced into a corner, and they could only watch as more and more Wuhuan soldiers rushed to the city, and then rushed down the city. Faced with the countless swords in front of them, they couldn't do anything.

These Wuhuan soldiers all felt that they had already won, so they didn't want to make any more senseless sacrifices, and every time they just looked for an opportunity to slash at the defenders on the periphery.

Gao You watched the people around him fall one after another, and his heart was full of grief and indignation. Some of these people are soldiers, and some are just young men who have been summoned temporarily, and they are all good. In the face of the enemy in front of them, they all chose to die standing instead of living on their knees.

Now the city was broken, but they were still confronting the enemy, and none of them said they would surrender. It's just a pity that these good men are going to die in such a humiliating death.

The stones blocking the city gate had been removed, and Qiu Liju, who was outside the city, walked in with a large army.

As soon as he entered the city, a soldier came to report: "Khan, the Han people in the city are all concentrated in the southeast corner, and they are all old and weak women and children. There is also a 100-strong Han army on the northern city wall, and the Han army guards of this city are also there. ”

"Don't you know what to do?" Qiu Liju scolded, "All the old and weak in the city were killed, and the women were left behind to bring back to the grassland." As for the defenders of the city, take me up and see them. ”

"No."

By the time Qiu Liju returned to the city, there were less than fifty men left in the encircled defenders. Just now they launched a counterattack, and as a result, they directly lost most of it.

"Stop," Qiu Liju shouted to the crowd, "these are warriors, warriors are worthy of respect, how can you insult them like this." ”

In Gao You's counterattack just now, there were a few more new injuries, and his old injuries burst out again, bleeding nonstop. Now he was so weak that he could barely stand against the wall.

Although his head was dizzy, Gao You clearly saw a short but very dignified man wearing a golden crown walking over.

"You should be the leader of these Wuhuan people." Gao You's voice was faint but he said clearly.

Qiu Liju nodded, and said in pure Chinese: "I am Qiu Liju, the Khan of all Wuhuan people. Han Dynasty people, should you also say your name? ”

"I just need to know who you are, I don't need you to know who I am." Gao You said with a smile, "That's fine, when I get to the bottom of Jiuquan, I will know who to ask for my life." ”

Qiu Liju sneered, feeling that the Han Dynasty man in front of him was very ignorant and ridiculous. "I am the Khan of Wuhuan, the king of the steppes, blessed by the gods. Even if you become a ghost, you won't hurt me in the slightest. ”

He then took a step forward, stretched out his hand and said to Gao You, "I have a suggestion, Han Dynasty people. If you say your name and surrender to me, you will live. So you don't have to die, none of your subordinates have to die, and the Han people in this city don't have to die. What do you think? ”

"Bah, you dog thief, if your husband dies, you will die, you will never grovel and live in the world!" A soldier shouted with all his might.

"So many brothers in the city have died in battle, if we surrender, the blood of the brothers will soon be shed in vain!" Another soldier shouted.

"Surrender Yidi, isn't that a beast who turns his back on his ancestors, I am a man, not a beast."

One soldier after another shouted at Qiu Liju, no matter how much he wanted to maintain the posture of Corporal Lixian and eager to seek talent, his face was pale at the moment, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hahaha~" Gao You laughed loudly, mocking Qiu Liju's whimsy, "Chief Yidi has seen it, it is the backbone of my Han family's son, you still don't want to waste your words." ”

Qiu Liju's face was bruised, and he said angrily: "I respect warriors, but I hate people who give shame to people. Since you are bent on death, I will fulfill you. ”

"Report!" A ranger ran up and interrupted Chuliju's words. "Qiyu Khan, twenty miles to the south, found the Han army scouts."

"Hahaha~" Gao You laughed again, and this time even the soldiers laughed.

"My general is almost here, you, the chief of Yidi, are not far from death, hahaha~"

"If you don't take this opportunity to run for your life, or you will regret it too late."

Gao You and the soldiers didn't care that they were in danger, and they stimulated Qiu Liju again and again. They didn't want to be taken prisoner and used to threaten the approaching Han army, so they were bent on dying.

"You bastards, don't you want to live even a moment?" Qiu Liju was furious and roared in Wuhuan language.

He commanded his men, "Kill, kill them all!" Even if the reinforcements of the Han army come, I will make sure that these people will never see that moment! ”

The Wuhuan soldiers approached again, and Gao You also shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill with me!" ”

"Kill!"

Twenty miles away, Zhang Hao saw a beam of black smoke rising from the north from a distance, and couldn't help but shed tears. He knew that he was still a step too late, Wangping City had been conquered, and the defenders and civilians in the city should not have survived.

……

At the foot of the Wuxian Mountains, a cavalry army of 5,000 men was galloping north. Not long ago, they had just crossed the Great Wall and came to a wider plain, which would later be known as the Songnen Plain.

According to the instructions of the Wuhuan guide who surrendered, after crossing the Great Wall, we will continue to travel about 200 miles to the northeast until we reach a lake called Shanchi, which is the temporary pasture for the livestock of the Wuhuan army.

It was chosen because it is surrounded by several low hills, which provide shelter for livestock in the cold winter. And because of the blockage of the hills, in addition to the water, the mountain pond also has the most rare fresh grass in winter.

Three days later, Qin Wen finally led his 5,000 cavalry to a hill less than ten miles west of the mountain pool.

He hid his cavalry in the shadows of the hill and sent scouts to reconnoitre. Although the guide has already told him the specific situation there, it has been almost half a month after all, so it is better to investigate it again for the sake of insurance.

In the evening, the scout came back and reported to Qin Wenyu: "General Qiyu, your subordinates have figured it out." There were about 3,000 cavalrymen in the camp of the Wuhuan people in front, and there were also nearly 1,000 herdsmen, and there were nearly 25,000 cattle and sheep, and nearly 5,000 war horses. ”

When Qin Wen heard this number, his eyes suddenly lit up. I'm afraid that so many livestock are worth tens of thousands of gold, these Wuhuan people look so poor, I didn't expect them to be so rich.

Of course, this is just a joke, and these livestock are worth a lot of money in the territory of the Han Dynasty. In the grassland, it is the same status as grain.

And all the livestock belong to the tribal aristocracy, and the herdsmen are only responsible for grazing, and even if there is money, it is the upper nobility of the tribe who has money.

It was evening, and it was the time when the Wuhuan cavalry stationed there had finished eating and their nerves were relaxed. From just now to now, the Han cavalry has almost rested.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Wen decisively ordered a sneak attack on the Wuhuan grain and grass camp.

……

Ah Gu was a slave, and when he was six years old, his original tribe was destroyed by the Liaoxi Wuhuan led by the now Chuliju Khan, and then he became a slave.

Growing up, he did not learn anything else, and some of the older slaves only taught him how to herd, how to deliver livestock, and how to make milk from the milk of livestock.

Especially this dried milk, which was the main food of slaves and ordinary herdsmen, Ah Gu was the first to learn, because it was related to whether he could fill his stomach. Although he was never full.

But now it is much better, the Khan is at war with the Han dynasty in the south, where many livestock are slaughtered every day. As a slave, Ah Gu can sometimes get a piece of offal, which is even more delicious than dried milk.

Today, because of his diligence, he was rewarded with a piece of meat by the nobles of the camp, which was more delicious than offal. In the envious eyes of the other slaves, he proudly raised a fire in front of them, skillfully raised a fire, and roasted it.

It's just that what Ah Gu doesn't know is that today is not only his lucky day, but also the disaster day of the entire camp.

……

Qin Wen had already come to a place two hundred steps ahead of the Wuhuan camp. At this time, piles of bonfires had been lit in the camp, accompanied by cold winds, and the cries of livestock could be heard from time to time.

He looked at the peaceful scene in front of him, and his heart was happy. These Wuhuan people were really defenseless. "Soldiers, the time has come to make a contribution, break through the enemy's camp and kill!"

Qin Wen took the lead, followed by the Han cavalry behind him.

The sudden sound of horses' hooves immediately woke up the originally quiet and peaceful camp, and the Wuhuan people walked out of the camp to check the situation.

When they saw the approaching cavalry in the distance, they immediately panicked and hurriedly ran to the tent to untie their horses.

It's just that they're still a step slower. The Wuhuan cavalry had just mounted their horses and were ready to fight, and the Han cavalry had already rushed into the camp.

The Wuhuan cavalry faced the Han Dynasty cavalry that rushed towards them at a high speed. I could only barely pick up my arms to resist, but it didn't work at all.

Under the high-speed attack, they didn't have time to react at all, as if they were standing still and motionless. The Han cavalry skimmed over, only to see a flash of the sword, and the Wuhuan cavalry was separated.

However, this camp is large enough, and there are still many Wuhuan cavalry who can gather together and launch a counterattack against the Han cavalry. However, due to the large number gap between the two sides, their counterattacks played a very small role.

The Han cavalry was superior in numbers, and with the surprise of the army, the battle was quickly over. At the cost of dozens of casualties, the Han army beheaded 1,000 and captured 1,500, and the rest all took advantage of the chaos.

It's just that the cavalry faction was able to escape, but the slaves didn't run far and were all captured.

Not only is the record brilliant, but even the results are very remarkable. There were nearly 25,000 cattle and sheep, and counting the horses of the Wuhuan cavalry, there were 7,000 in total. Just the credit of this capture, the imperial court is not too much.

This also made Qin Wen hesitate, and Zhang Hao's order to him was to kill all the livestock. But in this way, the great credit of the day is gone.

And now that several pastures are being built in Pingzhou, it would not be a pity if all these livestock were killed.

After thinking about it, Qin Wen felt that it was better to keep these livestock. If you can bring these animals back by yourself, it will be a great achievement.

General Zhang is also a marginal coach as a coach, and he should have no reason to blame himself.

Well, that's it.
