Chapter 408: The Southern Huns are frightened
On the battlefield, corpses lay everywhere, stumps were broken, and blood soaked the sand.
By the time Xu Chu returned, the battle was over.
Almost all of the soldiers were wiped out, and only a few dozen hundred were still alive.
And the direction of their flight is not to the north, but to the south. There, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong were waiting for them.
The end of the battle here does not mean the end of the war.
Xu Chu understood that these were only part of the Southern Xiongnu. Maybe there is still a big battle waiting for them in the south.
The Modao Army remounted their horses and continued to run south.
Where Huang Zhong and Xu Huang fought, the battle was over.
How could the old and weak women and children of the Qi tribe be the opponents of the elite cavalry of the Han army?
The forces and weapons, armor of the two sides are not comparable at all.
All those who were mad in war died under the swords, spears, bows and arrows of the Han army.
These old and weak women and children of the Qiang tribe fought for their lives, and they did everything in the process of fighting, showing the fierceness of wolves.
The more casualties they had, the more they were more fearless than death, and they were more tenacious than the soldiers of the Qiang tribe.
If all these people of the Qiang tribe were to ride horses, they would definitely be able to inflict huge casualties on the Han army.
Because even if there is a gap in combat power between two people, one side is more afraid of death than the other. It's really hard to say who killed the deer.
In addition to the soldiers, there were more than 70,000 people of the Qian, and now almost all of them were killed and wounded.
The only ones who are alive are children and babies who are not as tall as the wheels.
These people did not have any fighting power, they did not attack the Han army, and they could not attack, they only knew how to cry.
Therefore, these children were successfully captured, but Xu Huang and Huang Zhong were soft-handed and did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Komeito, what should we do with these children?" Huang Zhong was a little uneasy and asked Xu Huang.
"Throw them to the Xianbei people of the horse farm!" Xu Huang replied.
The faces of the Qian people are a little strange, and the Han people will definitely not adopt them.
"Hmm. That's all there is to it. Huang Zhong nodded and said.
"What is the situation on the south side of the Xu Ding Formation? Can the scouts find the Huns? ”
Xu Huang turned to his side and asked.
"Tell the general that no Hun army has been found within 100 miles, but there are Hun rangers detected." Left and right said to Xu Huang.
"With such a big movement, it is inevitable that the enemy will find out. It depends on whether they dare to come and engage our army again. Xu Huang understood.
"Report ......, the Modao Army, under the leadership of General Xu Chu, annihilated the Hun soldiers." At this moment, a scout rushed to Xu Huang and said.
"Good!"
"The Modao Army really lives up to its reputation."
Xu Huang and Huang Zhong applauded in unison and put their minds at ease.
"Order, clean up the battlefield, the whole army will be stationed here, and directly threaten the Huns."
Xu Huang gave orders to the whole army.
While cleaning up the battlefield, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong learned that the Hu tribe they had destroyed was not the Xiongnu. It's the Xiongnu don't fall, the Qian.
Due to disagreements with the Southern Xiongnu, the Qian people parted ways and went to Mobei to seek survival.
……
Following. Northwest of the Tengger Desert and north of the Qilian Mountains.
Huvro led his people, as well as countless cattle, sheep and livestock, in search of suitable places to live in the desert and at the foot of various mountains.
Only by finding a place that is hidden and full of water and grass can we develop animal husbandry. Restore strength.
In this way, we can be obscure and shameful.
In the distance, a cavalryman wearing a fur hat rushed towards the southern Xiongnu tribe.
The cavalry of the Southern Xiongnu tribe stopped him, and after verifying his identity, they brought him to Uvro.
"Qiang people, what are you doing?"
Glancing at the cavalryman's clothing, Huvro recognized the horseman's identity.
"Advice to your Excellency. When the battle was over, all its soldiers were destroyed. Men and women, young and old, are almost non-existent? ”
The Qiang soldier said to Yu Fuluo with a frightened expression.
The other Qiang tribe of the Xiongnu belongs to the Xiongnu Qiang people. There are not many people.
Most of the Qiang people are gathered in the areas of Yongliang, Longyou, Bashu and Henan.
The Xiongnu Beiluo Qiang people were the northern Qiang who migrated north, and were influenced by the Xiongnu and slowly attached to the Xiongnu.
"What did you say!" Yu Fuluo was stunned, and after turning his mind, he asked the Qiang rangers, "It's only been a few days, what happened?"
Could it be that the Han people crossed the Yellow River. No, Qiang Qian is not a fool, how could he let the Han people cross the Yellow River.
"The Qian led the tribesmen north, and when they passed through the desert, they encountered the main force of the Han people. A soldier who fled back told us that the Han army had 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry. There are also invulnerable and extremely sharp broadsword infantry. The Han people are cruel, they don't let go of the old and weak, the women and children are killed, and the killing dyes the sky red, and the pungent smell of blood can still be smelled hundreds of miles away. ”
The Qiang rangers recalled that they were terrifying, and the words they said were shocking.
Han rides 50,000!
Yu Fuluo, who had fought against the Han army, knew the strength of the Han army.
10,000 Han army elite horsemen, he has to weigh it in his heart. But the Han had 50,000 horsemen.
And they were the Huns, but there were less than 30,000 horsemen.
"Ye Yiyu, what a puppet. If we hadn't gone north and south separately, we would have joined forces and could still fight with the Han army. Who will defend against the Han army now? ”
Yu Fuluo was angry and looked up to the sky and scolded.
"How is the Han army moving now? Do you attack the tribes? Suddenly remembering something, Yu Furo asked the Qiang rangers.
"I rushed to inform Shan Yu overnight, and I don't know the situation in the clan. The leader asked me to ask for Shan Yu, what should I do? ”
The Qiang ranger shook his head and bowed back to Yufuluo.
"If the Han army does not find the tribes, they will migrate to join us, defend a dangerous place, and strangle the Han army. Otherwise, the Northern Han people will definitely break it one by one. Yu Fu Luo ordered the Qiang rangers.
If the nomads are forced to rely on defense, then they will lose a lot.
They can't graze, and the cattle and sheep can't rest. If it is surrounded by the Han army for a long time, it is possible to starve to death or freeze to death.
It's winter, not spring, autumn and summer.
Huvro had to make such a decision.
Among the people present, no one hated the Han people more than him. He also wanted to show the spirit of a Xiongnu boy and fight to the death with the Han army. But he couldn't.
People tend to laugh at people who talk about the tiger's perversion, thinking that they are cowards.
In fact, people who talk about tiger color change often have seen the ferocity of tigers, or have been bitten by tigers.
So at the mention of tigers, my face changed color with fright.
Yu Furo was also arrogant, but he had seen the fangs of the Han army many times.
"This is a dangerous place for adults alone. There are no roads to the north, south, or west. You can only defend, not survive. If you keep it for a long time, you will lose, and you will be dead! Why don't you cross the Yellow River to the east and go back to the river. ”
One of the tribal leaders under the command of Uvro suggested to him.
"Go back and find the dead? Thou shalt see this mountainous land, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the people of the country are hiding in the valleys and ravines, and we have arranged for defense. As long as it is delayed for a period of time, the Han army will not be able to attack, the grain and grass will run out, and it will retreat. ”
Yu Frao pointed to the surrounding mountains and said to the leaders of the various tribes under his command and the Xiongnu nobles.
It is also thousands of miles away from Shuofang of the Han army.
It is about to come to the cold winter wax moon, and the Han army will not fail to understand this.
