Chapter 278: Calamity (Ask the Big Guy to Collect)
Gather all the horses of the Shenwu Army, remove some of the old, wounded, and weak, and barely get together 3,000 horses.
Then Zhao Yun personally went to various ministries and carefully selected the soldiers for this trip, and the selected ones were all people who had experienced life and death several times.
At this time, Chen Gong was buying meat in the city, and ordered it all to be roasted and packed in packages to make dry food for the three thousand soldiers along the way.
After a day and night of preparation, Zhao Yun bid farewell to Zhang Ning early in the morning, led 3,000 soldiers, and took advantage of the slightly bright sky to march towards the Taihang Mountains, galloping all the way to Bingzhou.
……
…………
The two counties of Shuofang and Yunzhong in the state are already an empty hell on earth at this time, do you see the figure of a woman, who is also cloaked and her clothes are in tatters.
The woman's eyes were blank, and she walked forward madly, facing a group of Hun iron horsemen passing by, and the first one raised a butcher's knife and cut off the woman's head casually.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the headless corpse that fell to the ground, the Hun Iron Rider let out a wild laugh, as if killing a wild dog, and rushed forward without stopping.
Like this scene, it is a common thing in the second county, every day there are old and weak women and children who are hiding, they can't help but be hungry, go out to find food, and they don't come back.
Wuyuan County was occupied by tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops at this time, and the people in the city who had no time to flee were being driven away by the Xiongnu wielding butcher knives at this time.
Looking at the nearly 10,000 people who were driven over, Hu Yeli, the commander of the Huns, showed indifference on his face and a trace of excitement.
Nearly 10,000 old and weak women and children were driven to a corner of the inner city wall, their faces showing uneasiness, and their eyes looked around in horror, holding sharp weapons of the Hun soldiers.
Hu Yeli liked the frightened expressions of the Han people the most, no, the frightened expressions of meat, because it could give him satisfaction.
After waiting for a moment and striding to the crowd, Hu Yeli waved his hand and shouted:
"Han people, don't be afraid! Our Hun warriors are here to help you, but because of the lack of food in the army, we want to borrow some food from you, as long as you hand over the food, not only will we not hurt you, but will protect you! ”
Grain!? There was still food, before Gongsun Chan left, he had already looted it, and the rare trace of grain was also searched by the Huns into the city.
At this time, seeing that the Huns let the grain be handed over again, a seventy-year-old man staggered through the crowd with a cane in his hand, stepped forward a few steps to narrow the distance with Hu Yeli, and said respectfully:
"General! All the food in the city was robbed by Gongsun Zhan, and we have no food, if there is one, we will hand it over a long time ago. ”
"Hmm!" Hu Yeli's eyes opened suddenly, and then he quickly regained his composure, with an oozing smile on his face, and slowly moved forward.
"Choke!"
"Ah......h
Hu Yeli came to the old man, suddenly pulled out the beard knife on his waist, and cut off half of the old man's head with a knife, and the frightened crowd let out a scream.
"Ahh
"Woo woo woo ......"
The exclamation sounded, and the child began to cry, and for a moment it resounded in the sky.
When she heard the child crying, the woman quickly put the child's head in front of her, so that he would not be allowed to see such a bloody scene.
Looking at the trembling Han people, Hu Yeli felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, the Huns were killed by the Han people in the far north of the desert, and since then they have been living with shame.
Now all this will no longer exist, and the Xiongnu will occupy and annex the state, as a foundation, gradually grow stronger, and restore the former majesty.
Sooner or later, one day he will annex the Han Dynasty and become the new king of this land, ruling the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, making the Han people tremble under their feet and be driven by slavery for life.
The bloody knife was rubbed indiscriminately on the dead old man's body, and Hu Yeli put away the ambition in his heart and slowly looked at the frightened people.
"Hmm." Hu Yeli shook his head, made a helpless look, and said flatly: "Since you are so uncooperative, then don't blame General Ben for being ruthless!" ”
Hearing this, the only dozen or so men were bloodily stimulated, and they yelled and rushed towards Hu Yeli.
"Born as a Han person, died as a Han ghost, how can you abandon your dignity and crawl to survive at the feet of other races such as you."
Looking at the more than ten people who were about to rush, Hu Yeli shook his head with a sneer, raised his hand and waved it gently.
The Hun soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, received the order, and their eyes were like ants, and they quickly raised their butcher knives and rushed forward.
The flesh and blood of more than ten people can't withstand the cold butcher's knife after all, but the blood of nearly 10,000 Han people has been stimulated.
With the fall of more than ten men, nearly 10,000 old and weak women and children slowly moved forward, because they knew that praying was also death, and they had to endure the torture of fright, so it was better to die a happy death now.
Looking at the advancing Han people, Hu Yeli had a demonic smile on his face, laughed wildly, and waved his hand to order the massacre.
"Hahaha......"
An hour later, nearly 10,000 old and weak women and children did not survive, the hot blood stained the ground under their feet, the Huns were separating the corpses one by one, the old people were buried on the spot, and the young ones were put aside.
After years of conquest by the Han Dynasty, the Huns were no longer able to raise large troops to attack, and the tribesmen gradually became scarce.
The strength is also as great as before, but why did he take such a risk this time, it has to start with Gongsun Zhan's sudden reining of the army and civilians.
Knowing the news that the military and civilians of Bingzhou retreated to Yizhou, the Huns were also unexpected, but this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity made them see the hope of occupying a state and the rise of the Huns, and the huge temptation had made them lose their minds.
After a hasty discussion between King Xian and Shan Yu, they decided to send troops to merge the state, take millet from the fire, and the winner occupied the state, restore the former scenery, and retreat to recuperate if defeated.
Anyway, the Han people are busy fighting each other, and they will definitely not send troops on an expedition, fight with themselves, and lose the capital to dominate the Central Plains.
Because of the urgency of time, the three Xiongnu gathered 50,000 iron horsemen, carrying a small amount of grain and grass, led by the right and left Xian kings to march to the state.
I thought that if I occupied the annexed state, I would definitely be able to loot countless gold, silver, jewelry, and countless grains and grass.
But the facts are diametrically opposed, although there is no resistance, and they easily enter the two counties of Shuofang and Yunzhong, but they raid the people.
The left and right Xian kings were dumbfounded, even if there were only thousands of old and weak people in this city, there was not a single grain of grain.
50,000 soldiers chewed horses, grain and grass were consumed rapidly, and in desperation, the left and right Xianwang could only leave thousands of soldiers and horses to garrison the two counties, so as to prepare for the subsequent occupation and annexation of the state and the relocation of the clansmen.
After arranging everything, King Xian led the rest of the army to Wuyuan, and finally saw more than 10,000 old and weak women and children, and scavenged a trace of food, and finally had some comfort in his heart.
But even if he got a trace of grain and grass, it was not enough for the army to stuff his teeth, so in order to prepare food for 50,000 people, King Zuo Xian came up with a plan, that is, to feed on human flesh, so the corpses just now would be distinguished.
