Chapter 37 Shan Yu's good feelings
Chapter 37 Shan Yu's good feelings
Since the beginning of August, the waters of the Blind River have sometimes turned red, which is the result of fierce fighting between the Xiongnu and the Han army in the upper reaches of the Blind River.
Blood does not generally enter the main course of the Blind River, but only spreads on the edge of the Blind River, so the dirt on the banks of the river, on the pebbles, there will always be a slight reddish or black color.
This is the self-purification function of the river, and even the river is unwilling to accept too much filth.
This was a major counteroffensive launched by Xie Changchuan.
These days, the Huns have been constantly advancing, and if they don't fight back, the Han army will be squeezed out of Baishan Mountain.
Pei Yan didn't get sick with Huo, Yun Lang discussed and took away the armaments stored by the cavalry commander, among which the crossbow arrows were the most, and the cavalry captain's combat readiness armor was also unceremoniously borrowed by Pei Yan sixty-one pairs.
Huo Quai, Yun Lang, didn't say anything, after all, this counterattack is very important and related to everyone's survival.
Huo Qubing asked to participate in the war, but was rejected by Xie Changchuan and Pei Yan mercilessly, they thought that guarding the bridgehead was more effective than the cavalry captain participating in the war.
Yun Lang understood what the real reason was, and if he said it at this time, he must be a fool.
11,000 men went into battle with rudimentary weapons, and behind them were 13,000 Han soldiers......
Shainin left, he said that as a son, there was no reason for his father to fight on the front line, but he, a son, was happy in the rear.
Su Zhi gave him a lot of medicine, and also taught him to deal with general injuries, and even gave Xie Ning a dozen pieces of ginseng that he treasured.
In such an atmosphere, it is difficult for anyone to be selfish.
Among such people, the only one who does not include Yun Lang feels that what Xie Changchuan said is very right, it is very important for the Han army to guard the bridgehead.
Protracted positional warfare was beneficial to the Han army, and the greatest weakness of the Huns was that the battle could not be sustained.
It's not that they don't have the courage to fight, it's that their food can't support them for a protracted war.
Under normal circumstances, even a family of Xiongnu herdsmen would need a large area of pasture to make a living, and now, more than 200,000 people are crammed into a small area, which is a very big test for the Huns.
Even in their Dragon Court, there had never been such a large crowd of people.
This should be a good opportunity, the imperial court should not miss it, since the Huns are all gathered in Baishan Mountain, then, the rest of the place will be very empty.
It is impossible for the Han military led by Liu Che and Wei Qing not to see this situation, perhaps now, the various armies of the Han have begun to set off.
This is a rare opportunity, and only when the Xiongnu are about to die, will such an irrational mass occur.
The offensive and defensive battle of the bridgehead also began, and the Huns dismounted their horses and drove groups of herdsmen, ghost slaves, and foreign servants to the bridgehead.
They carried rudimentary wooden shields, ladders, and screamed and beat the walls again and again.
The crossbow arrows and bows of the cavalry captain began to wield power, however, it was the trebuchet that was the most lethal to the Huns.
Due to its location on the riverside, there is an inexhaustible supply of pebbles, and whenever the trebuchet starts firing, it is like a rain of stones in the sky.
In just three days, the trebuchet threw hundreds of thousands of stones outside the city, so that a rocky beach suddenly appeared on the desolate land.
The bridgehead was too small and located on the river, which doomed the Huns to attack only from a small front.
Under the blow of strong crossbows and trebuchets, the number of Hun servants was rapidly decreasing, and the corpses everywhere were stinking under the scorching sun.
Fortunately, the wind usually blows from the river to the shore, which makes the life of the captain of the cavalry somewhat better.
The saddest thing about the days is not Huo Quai, Yunlang, but the Xiongnu's Zuogu Liwang Yi Zhixiao.
The furious Yu Shan and his personal guards have already clashed with Yi Zhi Xian three times, and in this process, Yu Shan can't listen to any explanation from Yi Zhi Xian, if it is not for the significance of attacking Bai Mountain, Yu Shan will definitely draw the army back from Bai Mountain.
That is, the temporary soft-heartedness planted the seeds of his future defeat.
"Who's hurting me?"
After repelling Yu Dan's attack again, Yi Zhixian yelled again in the face of the Huns who were watching the excitement on both sides.
The three feathered arrows shot from the side almost against the ground, and accurately drilled into the calf of the Yi Zhi oblique war horse, and the war horse fell to the ground with a wail, and the Yi Zhi oblique was pressed by the body of the war horse, and he couldn't get out of it for a while.
Yu Shan shouted, and once again commanded the pro-army to pounce, and the veteran Chilu was not to be outdone, facing Yu Dan's cavalry in front of Yi Zhilan, feathers and arrows were fired, and cavalry continued to fall from the horses......
With the help of his own soldiers, Yi Zhixian crawled out from under the body of the war horse, he ignored the battle that was going on in front of him, but a pair of gloomy eyes looked at the Huns who were watching the excitement on both sides.
"It's the arrow of the Right Virtuous King!"
The soldier pulled the feather arrow from the lower leg of the warhorse, examined it, and handed it to Ichisaki.
Yi Zhi glanced at the feather arrow, and shouted at the crowd: "Moko pole, someone is framing you, do you still want to stand aside and watch the excitement?" ”
Youxian Wang Moke has been watching the excitement for a long time, and when he saw Yi Zhixian say this, he sent someone to take the arrow, and after reading it, he said: "I don't help each other, you know that this is not an arrow shot by my people." ”
Yi Zhi sneered and said, "Then help me find the person who shoots the arrow, otherwise, I will tell Yu Shan that you are causing us to kill each other."
Even if the two of us want to fight to the death, it will be after killing you. ”
Chilu's resistance prevented Yu Shan from taking a step forward, and seeing that the two armies were already full of corpses, Yu Shan had to retreat slowly.
A shepherd came up quickly, knelt down and offered a bowl of mare's milk to Yu Dan, Yu Shan took it with one hand, and was about to drink it, when one of the guards grabbed his hand and snatched the mare's milk, grabbed the panicked shepherd slave and poured it down fiercely.
Yu Shan was horrified to find that the shepherd slave first foamed at the mouth, and soon the white foam was mixed with blood, and then, he rolled on the ground with his stomach in his arms, stirring up a large amount of dust, and when the dust cleared, the shepherd slave who offered mare's milk was about to die, and could only convulse weakly.
The guards grabbed the shepherd slave and asked loudly, "Who wants to kill King Zuoxian?" ”
The slave's eyes glanced to the left, and when he kicked his legs, he was silent.
The Huns, who watched the excitement, never thought that they could see the trouble when they watched the excitement.
Yu Dan, who lost his mind, directly ordered the guards to shoot at the crowd watching the crowd on the left......
The battlefield was outside the king's tent, and the military ministers, who were conscious but speechless, could only widen their eyes angrily when they heard the neighing of the people outside the big tent.
Liu Ling crouched beside the military minister Shan Yu and wept bitterly.
"Da Shan Yu, hurry up and get better, your son is fighting with your brother, I'm afraid they will suddenly come in......"
It took a long time for him to stop coughing with a painful cough, and his eyes were staring at the samurai guarding the edge of the bed, and he was furious!
The warrior of the royal tent bowed and said, "But you want us to separate them?" ”
In the blink of an eye, the warrior of the royal tent army nodded and walked out of the tent with his scimitar.
"Why are you laughing?"
Liu Ling pointed to a Xiongnu clan who was guarding the edge of the bed and asked loudly.
The Yan Shi was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again: "I didn't!" ”
Liu Ling said angrily: "I saw you laughing, why are you laughing? Do you think that Shan Yu is about to die, and you can marry a younger Shan Yu? ”
The military minister turned his head with difficulty and looked at the Yan clan viciously, as if his eyes were about to erupt with fire.
"Drag this out and kill it!" Liu Ling stood on the bed and ordered the last two guards.
The guards glanced at the military minister Shan Yu, and saw that Shan Yu had nothing but anger, so he grabbed the hair and dragged the miserable Yan out like an eagle catching a chicken.
Hearing the faint screams coming from outside the tent, Liu Ling glanced at the rest of the Xiongnu clans guarding the tent with satisfaction, and the rest of the Xiongnu clans did not dare to look at Liu Ling's eyes, and lowered their heads one after another.
Liu Ling saw that Shan Yu's lips were dry, so he took the silver pot and poured a bowl of goat's milk, and with a flick of his tail finger, the white-gray powder hidden in his nails fell into the goat's milk.
Under the attention of the samurai, she took a sip of goat's milk, and then ordered the one closest to Shan Yu to feed the goat's milk.
The military minister Shan Yu was accumulating strength, he wanted to sit up very much, he wanted to speak very much.
After drinking a bowl of warm goat's milk, he felt a fire rise in his lower abdomen, which was very good.
