Text Chapter 369 Punish the enemy and pass on the victory

After the 100,000 iron cavalry went south, the Hun cavalry who stayed behind in the Hetao Ranch added up to less than a few hundred people, and their faces turned pale in the face of the surging Black Eagle Army iron cavalry. But no one backed down, because behind them was their family and their property.

Once upon a time, such a situation was repeatedly staged in the land of the Han Dynasty. Countless lives and homes were destroyed by the hooves of the Hun cavalry, and now, they are finally about to taste the same bitter fruit.

Since entering the grassland, everyone in the Black Hawk Army has received an order to destroy all enemies who stand in the way of the horse's hooves before the battle goal is achieved!

After the Black Eagle Army, which began to charge, saw the cavalry hurrying out in front of the Hun camp, Cao Xiang, who was the vanguard, smiled coldly under the cold armor. The fruits of victory are about to arrive, and this is finally time to fight heartily.

There are no unexpected miracles, and there will be no steppe gods to protect them. Death came so completely that in front of these 20,000 real ironclad cavalry, the Huns were simply powerless to resist. It was almost a smooth ride, and the Black Eagle Army didn't even use the nine-armed serial crossbow that had always been used to strike first, and directly trampled on ten thousand horses, and no one could survive under the edge of the Han sword.

Even if the Huns put up desperate resistance, they could only die faster. The edge of the sword after a long time of sharpening, at first glance, can be described as dazzling and invincible! After the Black Eagle Army stepped on the war horse and lowered its armor, it turned into such a sharp sword. The only armed forces of the Huns were quickly wiped out, and then Wei Qing ordered the division of troops, and the seven captains led the team to begin a ruthless expulsion in this flat grassland south of the Yellow River.

It has to be said that the Huns were lucky, and the Black Eagle soldiers were not brutal Hun cavalry. As long as they were willing to obey the order and evacuate quickly, their lives were saved. But if you want to resist stubbornly, the Black Eagle Army is naturally ruthless, no matter how powerful you are, under the blade and crossbow arrows, blood blooms on the grassland, and life disappears among the withered grass......!

In the face of the stronger, it is the nature of human beings to bow down and obey, and this point does not distinguish between the Huns, the Han and the Western Regions. Those who know that they will die and still resist must be a very small minority, and in the case of endangering the safety of life, choosing to live is the most important way.

As a result, under the coercion of the Black Hawk Army, who were armed with swords and crossbows, the order to clear was quickly executed. All the Huns were ordered to carry only their belongings, to cross north from the shallows of the Yellow River, and then not to turn back, all the way north.

Groups of Huns, old and young, women and children, were driven out of the tents, and in the fierce urging of the Han army galloping back and forth, with grief and indignation, embarked on a humiliating journey, not to mention the tribal property such as cattle, sheep, horses, etc., and even the tents where they lived were not allowed to be packed. Everyone can be said to be driven on the road alone, and how many people will make it to the next tribal gathering place alive in this bitter cold weather is a big question.

It's just that these things are not within the scope of Wei Qing and the Black Eagle Army. The war was originally iron-blooded and cruel, compared to the unscrupulous killing of the Hun cavalry after each invasion of Han, the Black Eagle Army did this, and it was already called the army of kings.

The knights of the Black Eagle Army had cold faces, their swords were like ice, and they carried out the general order of "don't let the Huns stay alone in the Hetao grassland" meticulously and thoroughly. This area along the Yellow River, which is 100 miles deep, has been completely cleaned up in less than half a day. Tens of thousands of Huns were expelled, leaving only cattle and sheep everywhere and patches of empty tents. Of course, there were many who wanted to resist, but it was only a skirmish, and it was quickly resolved. Just as they felt that the Black Eagle Army, which had not yet shown their skills, was eager to have such an opportunity, the Huns who resisted stubbornly ended up miserable.

At the temporary stop of the Chinese army, after receiving the reports sent by the leading captains, Wei Qing finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the strings that had been tense in his heart relaxed. The fact that victory came so easily was indeed somewhat unexpected.

Originally, he expected that even if he did not encounter the Hun cavalry on the raid for hundreds of miles, there should still be a fierce battle after arriving here. The Hetao grassland, as the winter pasture of the Huns, is such an important place, and it must be heavily defended. However, what I didn't expect was that the Huns were so lax, leaving only a few hundred cavalry to defend here, and 20,000 troops suddenly arrived, and they were captured, and they succeeded in one fell swoop!

Wei Qing's serious face showed a smile, and the accompanying army Sima, the generals and the attendants of the soldiers were also all happy. Half of the miraculous feats have been completed, and the Hetao grassland is in the hands of the Han warriors, and the excitement in his heart is self-evident. Now it depends on the next step, whether it can be fully successful, and the subsequent actions are crucial.

"General Wei, the army moved so quickly, not only fought bravely, but also cleaned up the situation so neatly, and it was about to be successful, which shows that the general is well-trained on weekdays. Zhao admires! ”

Sima Zhao Shiqi was convinced, although he was more than ten years older than Wei Qing, and he was the current son of the Qin faction, but at this moment, he had a respectful look on his face and gave his hand to congratulate him.

Wei Qing is a rigorous and meticulous person, after years of baptism in Jianzhang Palace and two years of edification in the army, he is no longer the simple horseman slave-turned-guard. Some of the accidents have already been seen thoroughly. He has always been very polite to this military Sima sent by His Majesty the Emperor, and he will communicate with him in advance about anything, and he will definitely not be self-conscious.

"The Black Eagle Army's successful arrival here this time is all due to the trust of the Son of Heaven and the bravery of all the soldiers. This naturally also includes Zhao Sima's credit, and Wei did not dare to take credit alone. ”

Zhao Shiqi was overjoyed in his heart, he looked at Wei Qing a little serious and wooden on weekdays, but he didn't expect him to be so good at being a favor at a critical time. In fact, I naturally know what role I played, but I just followed the long journey. But if he gets a share of the credit, with his understanding of the emperor's actions, after returning to Chang'an, he is expected to be crowned!

"General Wei doesn't have to be humble! After this battle, the general will surely become famous all over the world. Zhao is willing to follow the tail wing of the Black Eagle Army, pick up the gaps, and make the merits of all the soldiers and soldiers, and after the class returns to the court, they will be richly rewarded in the court. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, each with a tacit understanding, and the meaning contained in it was already clear to each other. Zhao Shiqi reciprocated the favor, and had secretly said that he would definitely speak well in the report to the emperor. Although Wei Qing himself does not attach importance to these so-called merits now, the achievements of the soldiers under his command naturally cannot be erased, and this aspect of the matter is just handed over to Zhao Shiqi to handle, but he is very relieved.

"Then, General Wei, this place is already under our control. What's next for the army...... But already have a detailed plan?"

Zhao Shiqi asked again, this is exactly what the generals want to know. The peaches that have been picked in their hands must not be lost, so what everyone thinks in their hearts is that the Hetao grassland that has just been occupied must be heavily guarded by heavy troops to prevent the Hun cavalry from seizing it again.

In fact, there is no need for him to ask, since the overall situation has been decided, Wei Qing has been nervously thinking about it repeatedly, wanting to formulate the safest strategy. Now it seems that the only way is to divide the troops.

The 20,000 Black Eagle Army, in this vast grassland, is still a little too few. If the troops are divided into two routes, 10,000 will be stationed here, firmly defended, and waiting for follow-up support from the imperial court. Another 10,000 rushed back to help the defenders of Yanmen Pass, so the troops were a little too thin.

In the direction of Yanmen, it is necessary to go back to support, which is something that Wei Qing, Li Guang, and Yuan Zhao have discussed long ago when they formulated the battle plan at Yanmen Pass. Moreover, the speed of the Black Eagle Army must be fast, strive to succeed in the surprise attack in the shortest possible time, and then return to Yanmen, and Li Guang can attack back and forth, and break the 100,000 Hun cavalry of King Yelu and King Zuoxian.

Wei Qing knew deeply that Li Guang must be under great pressure at this time. Using the initiative as a bait to attract the attack of 100,000 Hun cavalry was an extremely risky action in itself. If the Huns broke through the defense line of Yanmen Pass and entered the Great Wall in a big way, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only will it seriously endanger the security of the Great Han Kingdom, but it will also be extremely dangerous for the Black Eagle Army to attack the Hetao grassland captured by the Black Eagle Army for a long time.

Therefore, the key point of victory now is to completely wipe out the 100,000 cavalry of the two kings in the shortest possible time, so that there will no longer be the military strength of the Huns from here to the Yanmen Pass of the Han family. The support of the Han army will also arrive unimpeded, and this half of the grassland will be completely occupied!

"Once the troops are divided into battles, when the strength is weak, the chances of victory on both sides are not great! ...... you can't make up your mind?"

Time is urgent, there is no room for delay, Wei Qing thought about it nervously, and he hesitated slightly.

It was at this time that an exciting piece of news arrived in front of his horse. There were three people who came to deliver the letter, and the one who immediately carried the heavy sword and was heroic was none other than Cui Hong. When Wei Qing saw him for the first time, some surprise and excitement began to rise in his heart, and he had a hunch that what they brought must be the latest good news about Yuan Zhao.

Sure enough, it didn't surprise him. Cui Hong's words then made Wei Qing and everyone present overjoyed in shock. The army goes south to break the enemy, and there are no worries!

"General Wei, let me tell you that after the 20,000 Black Eagle Army captured the Hetao grassland, there is no need to stay here, but the whole army will go south to Yanmen Pass and quickly break the enemy! The 3,000 Black Eagle Army led by him was intimidated at Longcheng north of the Yellow River, and before all the great victories were achieved at Yanmen Pass, he would block all the Xiongnu troops from the north, so General Wei could rest assured. ”

Feel relieved! Absolutely assured! There is Yuan Zhao here, and Wei Qing puts one hundred and twenty hearts. Not only him, but all the Black Eagle soldiers after hearing the news sighed in their hearts.

"Little Hou Ye really thought of everything! Anticipate the enemy's opportunity and use soldiers like gods! …… Moreover, their three thousand people had already taken the lead in attacking Dragon City? Isn't that? ”
