Chapter 354: Thorn-Faced Army (Asking for a Monthly Pass)



Rong Ke has never fought so happily, 30,000 Thorn-faced troops, all of them are equipped with six horses, and even carried detachable small ballistas, the most satisfying thing for him is the iron blood of the Thorn-faced Army, these soldiers who have surrendered interpret what is the real ruthless killing, in the past two months, they have ravaged the entire south of the Huns, and the Hun villages they met along the way have all been wiped out, and none of the soldiers have done anything superfluous, no looting, no adultery, except for killing, they seem to no longer do anything else, they are perfect killers.

"My lord, there are about two thousand Hun cavalry behind us, and the distance is about thirty miles." After a 'conversation' with his Eagle King, Hu Luguang said to Murong Ke that the reason why they were able to avoid the Huns' cavalry repeatedly in the past two months was all due to him, the Eagle King, and the tiger head sea eagle carried in the army.

"Just in time." Murong smiled on his face and walked towards the Thorn-faced Army, "Brothers, the military merit is here, and we have a two-thousand-strong Hun army behind our buttocks." "There is no need for Murong Ke to say anything, the eyes of those soldiers of the Thorn-faced Army showed a chilling murderous intent, for them, killing those Hun herdsmen is not a military achievement, only those Hun soldiers are.

After a while, the 30,000 thorn-faced army surrounded the unlucky Hun light cavalry in three directions, but in half an hour, the two thousand people were wiped out, and there were fifty-seven more human head Jingguan in the Xiongnu territory, when Murong Ke left with the thorn-faced army for nearly an hour, the Hun light cavalry team was late, and the Huns were sad and indignant when they saw the blood still dry human head Jingguan. They swore in their hearts that they would find out this damned army, break them into pieces, and avenge the 100,000 Huns who had died.

Murong Ke didn't care how much the Huns wanted to eat him alive, he still faithfully fulfilled the order that Li Ang gave him, 'Go to the Huns and kill people, and come back in three months!' It's been two months now. He only killed more than 100,000 Huns, which made him very dissatisfied with himself, thinking about Li Ang's feat of killing 200,000 Huns in one fell swoop, he was excited, if he came like that, it would be worth it to die, Murong Ke thought like this, so it was best for a month. He actually took 30,000 almost no damage to the Thorn Army for three days and nights, rushed into the west of the Xiongnu land, only five hundred miles away from the Xiongnu Imperial Capital, due to the intrusion into the densely populated area of the Huns, this time Murong and the Thorn Army's whereabouts can no longer be hidden, almost the third day after he arrived in the west, the Xiongnu Imperial Capital knew their existence, because the Xiongnu at this time most of the elite army in the country are in a stalemate on the border with Daqin, so the Xiongnu Imperial Capital panicked for a while, Hurriedly mobilized nearby troops to defend the imperial capital. gave Murong Ke the opportunity to attack the cities in the western realm.

Murong Ke only sent five teams of 1,000 people to make the Huns mistakenly think that he intended to be their imperial capital, so he held the imperial capital tightly, and only sent a light cavalry force of 5,000 people out of the city to investigate, but naturally Murong Ke seized the opportunity and fought a beautiful siege and annihilation, and only 100 of the 5,000 people escaped. Although he also paid nearly a thousand casualties, but it was extremely worthwhile, the strength of the Thorn Army made the Huns misestimate the strength of Murong Ke's hands, they thought that Murong Ke had 100,000 cavalry in his hands, they never thought that the 30,000 Thorn Face Army was not one person and two horses of the Great Qin cavalry, but each person was equipped with six horses, plus Murong Ke destroyed many tribes along the way, and got a lot of supplements. Therefore, the horses of the Thorn Mask Army are still very well maintained.

With only 150,000 troops in the imperial capital, the Huns had no intention of going out of the city and field, and in last year's battle, Li Ang frightened the Huns again. Let them feel that it is a stupid act to have a head-on decisive battle with the Great Qin Army in a situation of equal strength, although Liu Bao, who escaped with his life in the hands of Li Ang, tried his best to oppose it, and expressed his willingness to lead troops out of the city to exterminate Murong Ke and the Thorn Army, but as the general of the defeated army, no one believed what he said, after all, in his hands, the Xiongnu lost nearly 200,000 experienced soldiers, who else would want to listen to him, and finally the Xiongnu Shan Yu decided to transfer a new army from the south to encircle Murong Ke, no matter how much it cost, he would also annihilate this' 100,000 people'.

The wrong decision made by the Huns allowed Murong Ke to complete his 'great cause', seeing that the Huns were successfully deceived by their suspicious tactics, after a short repair, he led 20,000 people to capture a small city of the Huns in the west, and nearly 20,000 of the 30,000 people in the city were killed, leaving only 10,000 people. Under the persecution of Murong Ke, a commendable siege battle was completed in his hands.

Around the time when the Huns sent fast horses to the south to transfer troops, about 500 Thorn-faced troops, dressed in Hun clothes, mixed with the 3,000 Huns, fled to the largest city of the Huns in the west, and followed behind them

Ke and the rest of the Thorn-Faced Army. At that time, the Hun defenders on the city wall saw that they were chasing the distance, so they put in more than 3,000 people, and as soon as they squeezed into the city gate, the five hundred thorn-faced troops immediately launched and fought with the defenders, and Murong Ke in the distance immediately galloped wildly with the thorn-faced army, and under the rotation of six horses, they rushed straight into the city gate like arrows, and at this time, the five hundred thorn-faced troops who were stubbornly guarding the city gate died less than fifty people in the almost crazy attack of the Huns, but they still guarded until the moment Murong entered the city.

So the whole city fell into a bloody massacre, after the Thorn Army seized the city gates, immediately divided their troops to block the remaining three city gates, and then they wantonly killed people in the city, no matter how much money those Huns put in front of them, no matter how beautiful those Hun women were, they were indifferent, and gave them only cold blades.

The massacre lasted for five days and five nights, the whole city was burning in the fire, the black pillar of smoke through the sky made the imperial capital hundreds of miles away also clearly visible, every Hun in the west was crawling and trembling, afraid that the same fate would fall on them, those Huns living outside the city, flocked to the imperial capital, and some people in small cities also abandoned the city and fled, Murong Ke sent several cavalry teams to chase and kill, bringing the panic to all the Huns completely. The Huns who entered the imperial capital exaggerated what they saw and heard countless times, and for a time the entire imperial capital became panicked, and finally the Xiongnu directly ordered that these refugees should not be accepted, so as not to make the rumors worse.

In the end, there were only a few cities left in the western frontier to close the city and defend themselves, and Murong Ke, who was still not satisfied, when the three-month deadline given to him by Li Ang was about to arrive, he used all his weapons to storm and fell a big city of 100,000 people, and the massacre lasted for three days, when the last remaining 5,000 Huns thought they would die, Murong let them go, and then relayed Li Ang's words to the 5,000 lucky people, "Those who commit strong Qin will be punished even if they are far away!" So it was, so it is, and so it will be in the future. "It's a very simple sentence, but the five thousand Huns are lying on the ground, their bodies trembling, this sentence they heard from the deceased old man a long time ago, they thought that the black nightmare was just the old people's fabrication, but now they know that it is true, no matter when and where, the Great Qin Legion has always defended this sentence, and all those who are enemies of them have only one fate, that is, death.

When the Huns arrived in the south, they saw only a mess, and ruined cities, and mountain-like corpses, when the Huns knew that Murong Ke's Thorn-faced army was only 30,000 people, the whole country was in an uproar, and then there was a volcanic eruption of anger, they were once again severely humiliated, the dignity of the Huns was trampled to worthless, and in the Xiongnu imperial capital, Shan Yu almost roared and cut off the heads of the generals who were in favor of defending the city to vent his anger.

Although the Huns knew Murong Ke's truth from the survivors, they immediately sent nearly 100,000 light cavalry to pursue, but Murong Ke and the Thorn Face Army were both one person and six horses, and they couldn't catch up at all, but were retreated by Murong Ke, and the whole three-month battle, he led the Thorn Army to kill more than 500,000 Huns, burned down 17 cities, and brought the cavalry's maneuver to the point of reaching the peak, and the distance of the attack added up to more than 10,000 miles.

After Murong Ke returned to the division, every soldier of the Thorn-Faced Army cried bitterly when they saw the Great Qin Army Banner in front of the camp and the Great Qin soldiers who greeted them, they had completed a feat that no one had ever done before, but they still had a shameful past, which could never be erased, if they had not surrendered at the beginning, they would have had a perfect life.

"Da Qin man, there is only endless blood." Looking at the soldiers of the Thorn-Faced Army who were crying bitterly, Li Ang roared, he knew the bitterness in the hearts of these soldiers, they were spurned by the world, just because they had been prisoners, although they had now washed away the shame of the past, but the memory of tarnishing the glory of the Great Qin Army would be with them for the rest of their lives, indelible. "What are you crying about!" The voice of Li Ang's last sentence couldn't be heard, and he felt very uncomfortable looking at these weeping soldiers.

The Thorn-Faced Army became famous in the first battle, and the world knew it, under Li Ang's request, Cao Anmin issued an edict, allowing these soldiers who were expelled from the Great Qin Army to be buried in the Qin Mausoleum after they died in battle, and the ashes of Emperor Taizu and the heroic souls who died in the past dynasties were with him, Li Ang didn't know that he originally just wanted to seek justice for the Thorn-Faced Army soldiers who died in this battle, so that they could be buried in the Qin Mausoleum like the fallen Great Qin soldiers and be worshiped by the people, but he didn't expect it, In order to be able to return to the Great Qin Army after death, these soldiers of the Thorn-faced Army who were expelled from the Great Qin Army would rather die than retreat on the battlefield in the future, and in the end, none of the 30,000 Thorn-faced soldiers died well, all died on the battlefield, and were buried in the Qin Mausoleum after death.
