Chapter 14: Alone

The strong kinetic energy of the crossbow arrow pushed the Hun envoy off the horse, and seeing him fall under the horse, the cavalry lieutenants behind Yun Lang cheered in unison, and the sound of the long sword hitting the shield was even louder.

Seeing that the messenger was dead, the two messengers turned around and ran, leaving their wide backs to Yun Lang.

The biggest difference between the Iron Wall Crossbow and the Great Han's Crossbow is that the output is stable, and the strength of the two soft steel bow arms is balanced, so the crossbow arrows fired are far more stable than the Great Han Bow and Crossbow.

It is also very different from the bow and arrow, because of the tail feathers, the bow and arrow fly much slower than the iron feather arrow, and can only be used for sneak attacks.

After two "pops", the two Hun envoys who had just turned around also fell into the dust, and after one of them fell to the ground, he actually had the strength to hold the flagpole of the sheepskin banner and stand up staggeringly.

After Yun Lang reloaded the crossbow strings, he steadily pulled the machine in the deafening roar of the Huns.

The crossbow arrow accurately penetrated the open mouth of the Huns and came out of the brain!

"Yes, yes, I finally in my mouth, and the old man is waiting to see this good scene."

Yun Lang didn't have time to listen to the old thief's foul language, and nervously watched as the Huns' large cavalry poured into the valley.

"If you have the ability, you can get five hundred steps closer!"

Xie Changchuan's expression was a little hideous, the Huns had already arrived, and he actually had no intention of returning to the main position of Baishan Mountain.

Sure enough, as Xie Changchuan said, the Hun cavalry rushed to the edge of the crossbow range, and then stopped the horse's hooves, just clamoring.

After Yun Lang shot eleven crossbow arrows at the Hun crowd in one go, he returned to the back of the military formation without looking at the results.

Four hundred steps! The iron-walled crossbow could reach it, but there was no accuracy, and even so, it caused a not small panic for the Huns.

"It's a pity, if everyone can hold such a treasure, what if yes yes is a field war with the Huns?"

Xie Changchuan, who followed Yun Lang back to the back of the military formation, greedily looked at the iron-walled crossbow in Yun Lang's hand and sighed.

He knew that it was already a very lucky thing to have such a baby, and if he wanted to make it on a large scale, there was no such possibility!

"Give me another ten years, and maybe I'll have more."

"Okay, it's a good thing to have hope, tell the old man when the time comes, and the old man will help you strike iron!"

Xie Changchuan is also a simple person, and when he saw that Yun Lang had no intention of cutting love, he left disappointed.

Before leaving, he gave Huo Qubing a military order to guard the gate and crossed the Blind River to Baishan Mountain.

He didn't seem to be worried at all about the Huns taking the opportunity to pounce at this time.

Huo Qubing did not relax for a moment with the sword and shield soldiers, until the Huns slowly retreated, and sent a ranger sentry to monitor the Huns, which lifted the alert state of Hook Mountain.

Being tossed by the Huns, it was already late when they finished eating, and they sat under the starry sky to eat baked buns, and several people still looked very happy.

"The Huns are thirty miles away, we can't take it lightly, let's prepare to sleep with our helmets on our pillows."

Li Dang was very interested, and he ate three baked buns in a row before stopping.

Cao Xiang was a little unlucky, and sighed: "I'm still a useless one." ”

Huo Quzhi put down the bun and said to Cao Xiang seriously: "It's good to fight, my uncle said that there was no hero in the battle for the first time, and even he had a feeling of urgency." There's no time to be afraid. ”

Xie Ning looked at Yun Lang and said, "You have killed a lot of people?" ”

Yun Lang nodded and said, "More than you think!" ”

"When I killed the Huns for the first time, the strength of the knife was not enough, and I didn't cut off the head of the Huns, and the head of the Huns was drooping around my neck, and my two hands were still holding me, and the blood in my neck soared up a foot high, and that time, I really peed my pants."

Xie Ning also said to Cao Xiang seriously.

It's just that one person is serious, when two or even four people are serious, Cao Xiang is a little embarrassed, and waved his hand again and again: "I will definitely return my soul, and I won't drag everyone down." ”

Yun Lang smiled: "Tell us what to drag down or not, when we were in Chang'an, the three of us were stupid, why don't you think we drag you down?"

Your strength lies in political affairs, not military affairs, and this visit to Baishan is just a test for a few of us.

As long as you pass this test, you will be able to do what you really like in the future, go to illness, Ah Dare can continue to lead the troops to fight, you can enter the court to watch the government, and then find a good position to experience, what about me, just farm the land well, get Fugui Town up, know no, I hope that Fugui Town can become a rich country city in the future.

Aning, what do you like to do? You don't look like a master who is too suitable to lead troops into battle. ”

Xie Ning sighed and said, "I know, I like to be a magistrate......"

"Huh? Shouldn't you go to the court? ”

"No, no, no, I just want to be a magistrate in a place, even if it's a county magistrate, of course, if Your Majesty wants me to be a magistrate, I don't object, in short, I just like to be a magistrate!"

"The ruling party is indeed free ......"

"I don't want any freedom, I just need to avoid my father and become a ......"

"Huh? Why is that? ”

Xie Ning gritted his teeth and said, "I have eleven people in the room, do you dare to believe it?" ”

"Huh?"

"Wow-"

"Awesome ......"

There is always some inexplicable happiness among men, and once some unlucky things are taken out as a joke between brothers, it seems that there is no such pain.

The Huns really came, and appeared in front of everyone in the most powerful state.

The thought of the Huns standing on horseback in the wasteland today, everyone's heart was as heavy as a stone.

Yun Lang's way to eliminate fear is to face it directly, Huo Quzhi's way to eliminate fear is to excite himself, Li Dang's way to eliminate fear is not to think about it, as for Cao Xiang, he is really scared, and there is no way to face it.

As for Shainin, he told his privacy as a joke, which shows that he is already living every day as if it were his last.

The generals are like this, and it is clear what the soldiers of the cavalry captains who have not experienced a real big battle think.

If you want to stabilize the morale of the army, then, the generals must always be with their subordinates, according to the arrangement during the day, Huo Quai's sword and shield soldiers, Xie Ning went to the pikemen, Li Dang went to the cavalry, and Cao Xiang went to the crossbow soldiers.

Only Yun Lang continued to stay in the camp, supervising the damned ghost slaves digging holes day and night......

For three days, the Huns did not come, but the army sentry could no longer go to the Huns to snoop, and the grassland was full of Huns who were roaring and running, and they did not give the Han rangers a chance to spy at all.

Xie Changchuan was a person with very poisonous eyes, and he expected that the Huns were just pretending to be pretending that day, and the Huns really retreated in a hurry that day.

However, when the Xiongnu began to blockade the steppe, he became nervous instead, and held meetings for two days in a row for three days.

During these two days of meetings, they formulated at least seven contingency plans to deal with the Huns, each of which was set for a different situation, and once a predetermined situation arose, they responded directly according to the formulated strategy.

The advantage of this is that it can respond quickly, and the bad thing is that this method has higher requirements for the commander of the army.

The other officers were all old subordinates who had followed Xie Changchuan for at least five years, and only the cavalry lieutenant was the army that Xie Changchuan was most worried about.

Therefore, he could only place the cavalry commander alone in Hook Mountain, so as not to cause problems in the defense of Baishan Mountain because of the cavalry captain.

When Yun Lang discovered through the military meeting that the cavalry captain was actually a lonely existence, he began to frantically prepare for the defense of Hook Mountain.

He believed that once the war started, Hook Mountain would be the first target for the Huns to uproot, and this kind of tug-of-war was not the first time.

Every winter, the Huns will leave Baishan Mountain, drive cattle and sheep to their wintering ground, with their financial and material resources, there is no way to garrison in Baishan Mountain for a long time, and the Huns do not have the habit of defending the city.

If one day the Xiongnu suddenly built a city on Baishan Mountain and prepared to fight a siege battle with the Han Kingdom, presumably the Han Emperor Liu Che would laugh even in his sleep.

After so many years, both the Han and the Xiongnu have formed a tacit understanding, and in summer and autumn, it was the time when the Huns attacked in a big way.

The Han army generally relied on Baishan Mountain, backed by the Great Wall, to defend to the death.

When winter came, it was the time when the Huns retreated and the Han army re-established the Baishan Mountain.

After thoroughly understanding this habit of the Huns, Yun Lang was even more inconsiderate of human life when using ghost slaves.

So much so that Guo Jie, who helped Yun Lang to catch ghost slaves, complained that the ghost slaves he caught couldn't withstand Yun Lang's rapid consumption at all.
