Chapter 201: Green Flare
Ma Chao also let go of many distracting thoughts in his heart at this time, and was intoxicated by the beauty of this world.
Princess Suguang has also been singing Wusun for a long time, although she can't understand the lyrics, but the beautiful melody is interpreted by a sweet voice, just like the sound of heaven, which makes everyone intoxicated.
Along the way, they walked through this way with laughter and laughter, not at all like they were going to fight the enemy.
It's a pity that no matter how long the road is, there will be a moment to finish.
Turning over the mountain pass, they saw a large grassland that stretched to the sky, full of greenery, and occasionally dotted with domed yurts.
Influenced by Wusun, the herders here have begun to use yurt houses, which are yurt-like tents.
In the center of the grassland there is a bay of clear blue water, and the yurt houses on both sides of the lake are relatively dense.
Baji told Ma Chao that the big lake was the Pu Sea, the west of the lake was the Yizhi country, and the east of the lake was the Pu country.
Originally, the entire Pu Sea was the territory of the Pu country, and when the Huns came, they forcibly moved a part of the Pu people to their territory, and the Emigrants took the opportunity to occupy the west coast, which formed today's pattern.
The camp of the Xianbei garrison is on the north side of the lake, on the border between the two countries.
Baji volunteered to find out the situation first, and Ma Chao asked Ma Dai to bring a squad of soldiers and the interpreter to accompany him.
They all changed into herdsmen's clothes, and before they came, Ma Chao ordered people to get ready.
Before Ma Dai set out for the Western Regions this time, he was asked by Ma Chao from Zhang Liao and became a company commander under him.
As the old saying goes, "go into battle and have brothers", there is still a brother of your own by your side, and you are more down-to-earth.
It went well, and before dark, Badge and Mardy were back.
Ma Chao retreated the team into the mountains, found a valley and set up camp, and then asked them what they had learned.
Baji found his former neighbors, who told them that the Xianbei were still garrisoned with 800 men.
In addition to their routine patrols, they nest in the camp every day and have fun. These days, I don't know how many women from the two countries have been ruined.
If they come out to rob without food or drink, the herdsmen who dare to escape will be caught and beaten to death, and such a life is already unbearable.
The herdsmen have said that as long as someone takes the lead in fighting these Xianbei people, the people of the two countries will definitely give their full support.
Ma Chao nodded, he called the three company commanders and Princess Suguang to his side, and told them that he was going to do it tonight, attack the camp in the middle of the night, and kill these damn Xianbei people.
A company commander wanted to persuade Ma Chao to rest for one night before making a move, Ma Chao shook his head, "The soldiers are fast, who can guarantee that there are no traitors among these herdsmen?" We still have to take advantage of the fact that the Xianbei people don't know about our arrival and catch them off guard! ”
At the moment, no one objected, Ma Chao assigned the task, Princess Suguang strongly said that she wanted to take the Wusun warriors to the war, as long as there was an opportunity to fight the Xianbei people, they could not miss it, these Xianbei people were also so reckless in Wusun.
In the end, Ma Chao decided that everyone was divided into four teams, and surrounded the Xianbei people from all sides, and when attacking, Ma Chao's signal flare prevailed.
The Central Army has been equipped with a batch of hand-held fireworks, which are used as communication signals, which are red and green, easy to carry, and very practical.
It was a moonlit night, with a half-moon hanging high in the sky, and the cold moonlight fell on the grassland.
On the grassland, there were many people, Ma Chao took people to slow down the speed of the horse, quietly hurried, and passed by many herdsmen's yurts along the way, alarming many people.
However, with Baji's explanation, on the contrary, many Pu men picked up bows and arrows, put on scimitars, and joined the ranks of the Han army.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion gave full play to their skills, killed the few open and secret sentinels of the Xianbei people, and reached the gate of the camp silently.
The gate of the camp was wide open, and it was already the middle of the night, but the camp was still brightly lit, and the sound of women crying, men's shouting and scolding, and shouting of the drinking order were all heard.
Several sentries at the gate of the camp were also absent-minded, their energy was concentrated in the camp, hoping that their companions would replace them sooner.
However, there was no one on duty on the nearby arrow tower, and they had already relaxed their vigilance after a long period of peace.
A few scouts from the Central Army touched it and easily dealt with these sentinels.
After estimating the time and feeling that the teams surrounded on all sides were in place, Ma Chao took out a signal flare from his arms, pulled the string, and a moment later, a green signal flare rose into the night sky.
Ma Chao raised his spear and rushed into the camp from the camp gate first, and Ma Dai followed closely with his company.
Before the Xianbei people could react, Ma Chao's spear had already swept down, and Ma Chao shouted while killing, "Don't take prisoners, don't accept surrender!" ”
Ma Chao's subordinates have long adapted to Ma Chao's iron-blooded style, and they also like this style, without saying a word, the halberd and the crossbow entertain the Xianbei people to their heart's content.
The angry herdsmen also followed behind the Han army, slashing and killing every Xianbei person, and as long as they were still panting, they would replenish countless knives.
Princess Suguang led the Wusun warriors to kill one by one, and the Xianbei people were either eating meat and drinking, or doing that kind of thing in the tent, without the slightest defense.
In the face of the halberds of the Han army and the anger of the herdsmen, not many people had time to resist, and they had already become dead souls under the sword.
It didn't take long for all the Xianbei people in the camp to be killed, and every tent was turned over, so that not a single Xianbei person would slip through the net.
After cleaning up the battlefield, he also rescued nearly 100 women from Pu and Emigrant countries.
After counting the number of Xianbei people, there were only seven hundred and fifty people, because there was no one left alive, and there was no way to ask the whereabouts of the others, but such a few people could not make any waves.
Ma Chao asked Baji and the others to invite the leaders of the two countries, and he waited for them in this corpse-strewn and blood-spattered Xianbei camp.
I heard that the Han army descended from heaven and killed all the garrisons of the Xianbei people overnight, and the leaders and elders of the two countries dared to slack off, and they rushed to pay homage to Ma Chao.
When they stepped into the camp of the Xianbei people, they were shocked by the pungent smell of blood and the corpses of the Xianbei people with different forms of death.
In the middle of the camp, there were hundreds of Han cavalry in bright armor standing around, and in the center there was a large chair on which sat a general in silver armor.
The helmet is in the shape of a wolf's head, but when the face is lowered, it happens to be a wolf with a bloody mouth.
Baji hurriedly introduced to these leaders and elders, saying that this was the Han Army's Heavenly Wolf General Ma Chao, of course, this Heavenly Wolf General was added by Baji himself when he was translating.
How did he know that Ma Chao was just a small battalion commander in the Han Dynasty army, of course, this battalion commander might be the most powerful battalion commander in the entire Han Army.
These leaders and elders are cowardly and cowardly, otherwise they would not be able to let the Xianbei people be so enslaved.
They were completely frightened by the scene posed by Ma Chao, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Ma Chao also did not talk to them, and ordered them to immediately stop their allegiance to the Xianbei people, and instead swear allegiance to the Han and swore submission.
These leaders and elders hurriedly agreed, this is normal for them, and the one with a big fist is the master!
Ma Chao also asked them to move all the people and livestock from all over the country to the area closest to Yiwu, anyway, they were all nomads, and they did not have any fields and properties, and they could move back after the Han army completely wiped out the Xianbei people.
Although moving is difficult for them to leave their homeland, but when they think of the next revenge of the Xianbei people, they can only act according to Ma Chao's instructions.
