Chapter 18 All seizures shall be returned to the public

Lu Bu saw that the enemy had been in disarray, some had fled, some wanted to retreat, and felt that the time was ripe, so he ordered people to beat the war drums, and when he heard the agreed signal, the Han army ambushed the soldiers, only to see that some well-hidden hiding pits suddenly appeared on the slopes of the mountains on the left and right, and there were a hundred longbowmen on each side, and they began to shoot as soon as they appeared. The Han army in front of it slowly advanced to the horse rejection formation, with the shield hand in front, the spearman in the back, and the crossbowman at the end.

Where did Humble Chi dare to rush the phalanx in front of the Han army, the remaining less than a thousand cavalry, turned around and wanted to retreat from the way they came, but saw that the road surface suddenly sank when they came, and there were also many pits and Tibetan pits, two hundred Han troops appeared in the rear, and they also lifted out more than a dozen groups of sharp horse-rejecting piles from the Tibetan pits. His henchmen protected him to rush to the direction where he came, and the Han army in the rear was the cavalry team in the camp, and they did not panic when they saw the Huns rushing over, because there were traps and horse rejection piles in front of them, and it was impossible for the Hun cavalry to rush over directly. The Hun cavalry ran to the trap, could only slow down the speed of the horse, carefully pass through the gap, the Han army could calmly aim and shoot with a hand crossbow, and when the Huns moved to the front of the horse rejection and wanted to move away from the horse rejection pile, the Han army threw out the throwing spear again. The back road is not open at all, and they try to break through from the high ground on the left and right, but although there are only a hundred longbowmen on each side, but they are not a flat river in front of them, but there are many large and small pits, and there is no way to pass through the horses at all, but the longbowmen can aim calmly, and the hit rate of shooting the target, the crossbowmen in the camp have good results, much stronger than the ordinary Han army. The Huns wondered, how could the Han army dig so many traps and hidden pits in just one day's work? They didn't know that one of the top ten training subjects in the camp was civil engineering, digging pits and digging bunkers were all training contents, including Gao Shun at that time, many people didn't understand why they wanted to practice this, the Han army had never had training in this area, Lu Bu didn't explain much, and each squad was equipped with several sapper shovels, and the style was provided by Lu Bu to Guan Lao Tie and built. Today finally has a place to use, from top to bottom, the soldiers trapped in the camp are convinced. When Lu Bu thought of civil engineering, he also took into account the era of cold weapons, and there was no very good way to deal with the impact of cavalry, and civil engineering operations were considered a more effective method, although it was a little stupid.

And the frontal Han army led by Gao Shun is also gradually advancing, the crossbowmen have also replaced with light hand crossbows, clumsy Chi this is also not distressed, he gave a death order, full force to storm the rear, in order to fill the trap, even at the expense of pushing the war horse into the trap, fill the trap, and desperately ride a horse to crash into the horse rejection pile, Gao Shun also commanded the army surrounded on three sides to advance together, and the two hundred Han army blocking the back road has already been ordered, not to fight hard with the enemy of the trapped beast, let go of the road, occupy the two compartments. After a final round of throwing guns, they retreated to the slopes on both sides, then mounted their horses, replaced their halberds, and attacked again. Under the dead guard of his henchmen, only two or three hundred horsemen finally broke through the stake of the horse, seized the road and fled, escaped from the encirclement, and fled in a hurry like a lost dog. The cavalry of the Han army had been recuperating for a long time, and under the full pursuit, the Hun cavalry died under the halberd or fell off their horses by crossbow shots. Lü Bu led the trapped camp brigade to ride on war horses, and then pursued, leaving only a few troops to clean up the battlefield, and Jin Rigang's subordinates were also allowed to pick up horned bows and short knives to participate in the pursuit, and each of them tied a red cloth to their arms to identify themselves. This pursuit is actually within the calculations of Lu Bu and Gao Shun, because if the Huns fight to the death, the Han army will inevitably have casualties, and every soldier trapped in the camp is very valuable to Lu Bu, this is the seed of the future army, anyway, the Huns came from afar, people are sleepy and tired, and they have no intention of resisting when they escape, so this is the most perfect way to use troops.

Now everything is going according to expectations, like a game of cat and mouse, the Hun cavalry fell one after another, and there were constantly people dismounted and surrendered in despair, and when Zhao Xin was outside the city, there were only a dozen henchmen and guards left around Zhuo Chi, and the red flag of the Han army had been raised in the city. It turned out that Wei Xu led the Dangkou cavalry to occupy Zhao Xincheng a long time ago, and when he saw that Zhao Xincheng was also lost, the three thousand elites handed over to him by his father also died, and he surrendered, and he seemed to see his father's face full of anger and anger, and his heart was horizontal, and he pulled out his saber to kill himself, but an arrow came, and the power was so great that he shot the saber in his hand away, it turned out that Lu Bu arrived, he wanted this to live, and it would be of great use in the future. The cavalry of the Han army swarmed up, captured Humble Chi and the people around him, and tied them up and guarded them. Lu Bu announced that he could enter the city and loot when he fell into the camp, but he was not allowed to rape ** women, and neither were Hun women. All valuable things will be taken away, all seizures will be handed over afterwards, no private possession is allowed, the handed over booty will be distributed according to military merits after returning, all seizures will be given priority to compensate the dead and wounded soldiers and their families, and it is very rich, the whole army has no objection to this, after all, no one dares to guarantee that the next death is not themselves, of course, I hope that after their death, their families can get enough pensions. Lu Bu listed all seizures as the second military rule, and violators will not be punished. Kim Il-pan, Kim Il-gang, and their subordinate soldiers were allowed to enter the city and take their relatives and private property with them. Then he ordered to take away all the Hun women under the age of forty, and all the Hun men under the age of forty with high wheels surrendered to avoid death, and those who did not surrender were beheaded, not to describe, it was another bloody night.

The next morning, when the sun rose, the trapping camp had been reorganized, and the camp was pulled back, leaving behind Zhao Xincheng, which had been burned to ruins, and the royal court of the Right Xian King of the Northern Xiongnu no longer existed, and there were only some desperate old and weak women and children left in the city. On the way back, it was still the Dangkou riding forward to open the way, and then there was a large group of people and horses in the trapping camp, with hundreds of ox carts and carriages and 5,000 horses in the ranks, some of which carried the treasures of the stolen Huns, some of which carried Xiongnu women and captives who surrendered, and also included His Royal Highness Humble Chi, who was tightly bound, a total of 500 Hun men surrendered, not including Jin Rigang's men. Jin Rigang's 500 cavalry had already won the initial trust of the Han army, so the captives and Xiongnu women were guarded by them along the way, and the Han army took away 5,000 Xiongnu women under the age of 40, in addition to Jin Riyan, Jin Rigang and 3,000 or 4,000 family members under 500 men, these people were guarded by the cavalry trapped in the camp. Fortunately, there were enough horses and vehicles, and there were no people on foot, otherwise I don't know how slow the convoy would have been.

The route home has changed from when they came, they are divided into two routes, Gao Shun led 500 camps, plus 500 cavalry of Jin Rigang, with all the prisoners and families, and returned along the original road of Juyanze, anyway, Jin Rigang and Jin Riyan were frightened and deceived by Lu Bulian on the road to take the small red pill, the poison was in their bodies, and they did not dare to think about it. And Lu Bu led Jin Riyan, Dangkou cavalry and 300 cavalry, along Junji Mountain all the way to the east, he wanted to see how the battle situation of the army of Youxian Wang attacked Yunzhong, received the news of the loss of Zhao Xincheng, whether he would return quickly, and he also wanted to distract the attention of the Huns to ensure that Gao Shun's team could return to Jiuyuan smoothly.

At the beginning of the return journey, he released the second carrier pigeon, told Li Su that he had succeeded in the surprise attack, and asked him to arrange manpower and prepare the camp where the brigade of people lived, and food, clothing, and clothing needed to be prepared in advance. and conveyed to Ding Yuan, conveyed the news of the victory on his behalf, and acted on the opportunity. After the carrier pigeon was dispatched, he sent five more messengers to report the news in case the carrier pigeon failed. Along the way, Lu Bu asked Jin Riyan a lot of questions about the Xiongnu, and even information about Xianbei and other grassland forces, and this Jin Riyan actually knew a lot about it and answered them for him one by one. It turned out that Jin Riyan was one of the few literate civil and military talents in the high-level of the Xiongnu, and he was responsible for the intelligence and people's livelihood under the account of the Northern Xiongnu Youxian King, but he had not been reused, so Lu Bu really asked the right person.
