Chapter 215: A Thousand Miles of Raid and a Wolf Juxu (2)
Chapter 215 A Thousand Miles Rush Sealing the Wolf Juxu II
On the grasslands of the northern country, thousands of horses galloped past one after another, leaving only a trail of dust.
The knights on horseback all looked cold and determined, and their eyes were pointed at the distant sky ahead.
This force was the 3,000 cavalry sent by Cao 'Cao' to attack the Xiongnu. In the eyes of ordinary people, the chances of victory on this trip are very small, and they are no different from sending them to death. But they don't care about these at all, as long as they are still soldiers of the Han Dynasty, they will die for their country without hesitation.
It is the duty of a soldier to regard death as home; Horse leather shroud, that is the fate of soldiers.
At the forefront of the cavalry were Xiahou Yuan, Gao Shun, Guan Yu, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu.
In addition to Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu were originally the commanders of the cavalry of the Cao army, so they naturally had to go out with the army on this trip.
Gao Shun's trapped camp suffered great losses, and it was being replenished and restored at this time, so Gao Shun felt that instead of being idle in Jiuyuan City, it was better to take the initiative to apply to attack the Xiongnu. What a majesty and what a merit it to be in a foreign land! Although most people felt that this trip was dangerous, and even dead, Gao Shun had great trust in Lu Xun, and he firmly believed that since Lu Xun made such a suggestion, he must be very sure of winning this battle.
Guan Yu was originally fighting with the aliens, so he didn't leave Cao Ying until now. Originally, Guan Yu was ready to say goodbye, but he didn't want to hear the news that the 200,000 interracial coalition troops were about to invade the border at such a time, so Guan Yu didn't have the heart to meet his brother. Now Guan Yu's heart is to eliminate these invading enemies as soon as possible and return peace to the border, so that he can return to his brother with peace of mind. Therefore, Guan Yu also took the initiative to apply to Cao 'Cao' and joined the ranks of the Xiongnu.
"Report, a Xiongnu tribe was found ahead." The cavalry scouts sent out by Xiahou Yuan reported back.
"How many people are there?" Xiahou Yuan asked.
"There are less than a thousand people, and the number of people who can fight is about two hundred." The scout replied.
"Annihilation!" Xiahou Yuan said in a cold tone.
Lu Xun, Jia Xu and other strategists have all 'handed over' generations before, and the key to this trip is to take him by surprise, and before the Huns reacted, they caught him off guard with lightning speed. If the Huns were to be prepared, then these 3,000 people would go to confront the Hun army, and they would really be sent to death in vain.
Therefore, all the Xiongnu tribes encountered on the way, in order to prevent the news of the passing army from leaking, must be slaughtered.
This is not cruelty, but the essence of war. Prior to this, Xiahou Yuan and his party had already slaughtered a tribe.
If the target of the slaughter was the Han Chinese, perhaps some Cao soldiers would have developed compassion and could not bear to attack the defenseless. But the slaughter of these Huns was completely unpsychologically burdensome for Cao Jun, even Guan Yu, who was known for his integrity, was ruthless in killing ordinary Hun herdsmen.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. What is the pity that these aliens die when they die?
In this regard, only Gao Shun, who came from later generations, could not accept it. Although he knew that these Huns were also one of the murderers of the 'Chaohua' in the original history, Gao Shun always felt very uncomfortable watching the herdsmen who had no power to resist, and even the elderly and children being killed.
But Gao Shun won't stop anything, he was not a good man in his previous life, and after ten years now, he has almost merged with this era. Although he will still be a little disgusted by the massacre, Gao Shun will at most do not participate in it, and will not deliberately ask others to change anything.
Besides, Gao Shun also knows that these alien races have always been afraid of power but not virtue. No matter how good you are to him, when he is weak, he will still bite back.
The cavalry galloped freely across the wilderness, and the tribe soon came into view.
The herdsmen of the tribe were completely unaware of the danger and were still doing what they were doing.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves burst into everyone's ears, and everyone was terrified and looked around in panic.
I saw rows of murderous knights galloping towards their tribes on their war horses under their hips, killing people regardless of men, women, and children.
"There are enemies! The Han are coming," the Huns shouted in horror.
But their shouts had no effect, and the Cao cavalry did not leave them any chance to resist or escape, and each knight waved the sharp spear in his hand, reaping the lives of one Hun after another.
The incident happened suddenly, one moment the Huns were still enjoying a peaceful and stable steppe life, and the next moment killing and death suddenly befell their heads. Everyone was unprepared, and the Huns, who boasted of their bravery, would never have imagined that the Han people, who had always been weak in their eyes, would run all the way to the grassland and wave a butcher's knife at them!
Everywhere there was blood and miserable wails, and at every moment the Huns were killed by the Cao knights.
No one will sympathize with them, because over the centuries the number of Han Chinese killed by the Huns will only increase. The so-called blood debt and blood repayment, that's all. As for the words such as "when is the time for retribution", it has always been insisted on by those corrupt Confucians above the court, and the iron-blooded soldiers have never believed in those hypocritical and useless morals.
After a period of slaughter, the warriors of the tribe began to react and counterattacked one after another. However, there were only 200 soldiers in this tribe, and at this time, they were in a hurry to counterattack, and the attack was very fragmented, which did not pose any threat to Cao's army at all.
In less than half an hour, this Xiongnu tribe was slaughtered, whether it was Xiongnu soldiers or ordinary herdsmen, no one escaped, not even the elderly, 'women', 'women' and children.
And the Cao army, except for a relatively unlucky cavalryman who unfortunately fell off his horse and died, there was no loss from beginning to end. In terms of the number of injured, it is only eight.
"The whole army will rest for a while, and then set off!" Xiahou Yuan ordered loudly. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "The Invincible of the Three Kingdoms" written by the thunder
