Chapter 469: Robbing
Thinking that those boxes were full of golden gold, as well as silver jewelry and other things, Liu Weichen's heart couldn't help but feel hot. "Shan Yu, should we send some soldiers and horses to intercept this convoy?" As soon as a tribal leader next to him saw his expression, he understood his thoughts and hurriedly proposed.
"Well, that's right! Since we are here for the wealth of the county, these more than 100 cars naturally cannot be missed! You immediately lead 2,000 men and horses to catch up with this convoy and bring back all the carts to Ben Danyu! Liu Weichen nodded, and then commanded.
"Yes, my subordinates obey!" The man agreed, and then he gathered his men and horses, and under the guidance of the spies, turned south and galloped away. And Liu Weichen himself led the rest of the army and continued to rush towards the county seat.
The escort team, which followed the principle of one transportation in January, escorted the convoy back to Chang'an as usual on the fifth day of the first month of September. Since it has been done many times in the past, everyone is relatively relaxed about this matter.
Some of the cavalry rode on horseback, escorting the front and rear of the convoy and on both sides, while the other soldiers drove the large army and the group slowly advanced.
These carts looked unusually heavy, and the pack-horses were moving very slowly. From the morning until noon, they were only more than thirty miles away from the county of Zhujuan, and even farther away from the county of Wushi to the south.
"Okay, let's take a break, drink some water and eat some dry food, and then continue on the road!" Seeing that the sun was in the middle of the day and the weather was relatively hot, the general who led the team ordered.
After hearing this, all the soldiers stopped and began to prepare to rest.
"Listen, is there any sound?" The captain who led the team was just about to sit under a tree for a while, when suddenly he seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but say to the person next to him.
"It seems to be a sound, and it feels a little dull! No, it's not just the sound, it's like the ground is shaking a little! After listening carefully, the person next to him was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised.
The lieutenant was even more strange when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly stood up and looked in the direction from which he came. Sure enough, smoke and dust were constantly rising in that direction, and the sound was getting closer.
"Not good, it's cavalry! We don't have such a large number of cavalry around here, so there must be an enemy killing us! The lieutenant reacted at once, and hurriedly shouted.
"Report, Lord Captain, there is a large group of Huns killed in the rear!" When everyone heard this, they all got up and prepared to defend themselves, when two people suddenly ran from behind and reported to him.
"The Huns? How many of them are there? How far is it from us? The captain's face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly asked.
"All of them are cavalry, and it seems that there are about two or three thousand of them! It's less than ten miles away! Lord Lieutenant, with the words of our people, I'm afraid we can't resist it! What shall we do? The two spies said.
When the captain heard this, he couldn't help but groan. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Immediately take off all the pack horses, and those who don't have horses will ride on the pack horses, and we will immediately retreat to Wushi County." ”
"That'..... What to do with these big cars? It's all tax money! If we lose it like this, we will definitely be punished by military law when we go back! Hearing this order, everyone couldn't help but be taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"There's no way, in today's situation, it's important to save your life first! Besides, the Huns marched south, and even if they took away the tax money, they couldn't take it away for a while. As long as we can defeat them later, we can get them back! It's better to rush to Wushi County to report the news first! If we can get reinforcements from there, we can come back and get these things back! The lieutenant said hurriedly.
After finishing speaking, he didn't allow others to ask anything, and directly forced everyone to carry out the order. The soldiers had no choice, after all, the military orders of the Huashan Army had been deeply engraved into their bones from the time they enlisted.
However, some soldiers felt that this captain was too afraid of death, so they fled without a fight.
"General, look, that's the convoy of the Huashan Army? We'll be able to catch up with them in no time! "Just when those Huashan troops were busy unloading their cars, the Huns had already killed them less than two miles away.
Seeing the big cars in front of them parked there, the Huns couldn't help but get excited, and rushed towards the convoy with a whining voice.
"Hey, what are those Huashan troops doing?" In the distance, the leader of the tribe who was responsible for leading the army to rob was surprised to see that the Huashan army in the distance had actually abandoned the cart and hurriedly ran towards the south.
After all, the last time they fought in Luguan, Xiaoguan and other places, the Huashan army they encountered was not like this!
"Haha, General, they must be scared. Seeing so many of us killed, I didn't even have the courage to resist, so I threw all the carts away, just running for my life! When the little leader next to him saw it, he couldn't help laughing.
"That is, those Jin people are weak and incompetent, how can they be the opponents of our Hun warriors! The reason why it was defeated in their hands last time was only because of their plan. Now in this kind of open place, who can stop our Hun cavalry? Everyone behind him also laughed and shouted.
At this moment, these Huns seemed to have regained the glory of the year, and reproduced the glory when the Han Dynasty had to send the princess and relatives. Amidst the laughter, these people finally came to the front of the cart.
"Hmph, they were smart, they knew they couldn't beat us, so they escaped early. In that case, then we don't have to chase it, so we don't have to waste time! Open all these boxes for me and see what's inside! The leader of the small clan in the lead couldn't help but say contemptuously at this time.
Without him opening his mouth, the soldiers below had already started to do it. The seals on the boxes were torn open and opened in front of everyone.
"Wow!" There was a gasp from the crowd!
Everyone's eyes became confused, and for a moment they only felt that there was a golden light flashing in front of them, and the treasure light was dazzling, and it seemed that there was nothing else to see.
"Gold! It's mine, it's all mine! A Hun soldier looked at it, couldn't help but muttered to himself, and then reached into the box to get the gold.
"It's mine, it's mine!"
"It's all mine, if anyone dares to rob, I will kill whoever they want!"
"Grab it! Whoever grabs it is whoever's is! ”
......
One of them made a move, and immediately it spread like a plague, and the others couldn't help it, and rushed forward, each of them reaching out and grabbing the box. But as soon as he caught something, he immediately stuffed it into his arms.
"Stop, stop me! Hurry up, stop them quickly, and if anyone dares to rob them again, they will be killed on the spot! Also, put all the stolen things back for me, these things must be handed over to Shan Yu Faluo, otherwise, we will all have to lose our heads when we go back! "The leader of the army had seen something of the world after all, so he quickly came to his senses. After seeing the situation in front of him, he hurriedly shouted angrily.
However, now is the time when the voice is boiling, and his voice is not heard at all. There was no way, he could only take matters into his own hands and lead his henchmen to separate the soldiers who were rushing together in front of him.
As a last resort, he still killed a few people before everyone calmed down. Everyone looked at the blood-dripping knife in his hand, and finally obediently put back everything he had just taken.
"Hmph, you group of low~ cheap things, you dare not listen to orders! Are these things you can take? Do you all want to die? Now that we have seized so much gold, silver and jewelry, if we bring them back, are we afraid that they will not reward us? Seeing that everyone had calmed down, the leader immediately scolded.
Where do the soldiers around dare to speak! The Xiongnu are still in the late stage of the slave society, and the hierarchy is much more powerful than that of the Central Plains Dynasty.
"What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and tie up the box, put the car on and transport it back to meet Shan Yu? The leader cursed a few times, and finally said angrily.
Soon, the Hun soldiers were happy. The carts were strapped to their horses, and they turned around and slowly walked in the direction of the county.
Outside the county, at this time the atmosphere was tense, Liu Weichen led an army of nearly 30,000 to surround the entire county. However, at this time, he did not attack immediately, but waited.
"Qi Yu Shan Yu, the two biggest officials in the county town, one is Sun Tie, the general of the Huashan Army Ningyuan, who guards this place, and the other is Wu Hui, the left servant of the household department who was sent here to take charge of business! Now they're all in the city. "In Liu Weichen's military tent, the spies are reporting to him on the situation in the city.
"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city now?" Liu Weichen asked.
"Because of the importance of Zhujuan County to the Huashan Army, 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in the county and nearby areas. But in the first two months, because of the strengthening of the defense of the Weiwei County, a thousand people were transferred from here. Combined with the 500 people who escorted the silver cart, there should be only 3,500 people in the city now! ”
"Well, if there are only such a few people, how can we stop our tens of thousands of troops! Immortal Heaven bless, let's take this city before the reinforcements of the Huashan Army arrive! After Liu Weichen heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.
