Chapter Seventy-One: Encounter

Due to the remoteness of the department, iron tools are extremely scarce, and good iron has to be used to make knives and spearheads, and only a small amount of iron is used to make iron arrow clusters, and even most of the cavalry of the section department are equipped with bone arrows.

The cavalry of the Duan Wu Department is only used to disrupt the enemy's formation when charging, and then take advantage of the chaos of the enemy's formation to quickly carry out a wavy line charge against the enemy's formation.

In this grassland, the more northern, the more remote the tribes, the more focused on hand-to-hand combat, the difference is that some tribes use long weapons such as spears and spears, some mainly use long and short weapons such as sabers and axes, and of course, there are also heavy short-distance smashing tools such as stone hammers and stone axes.

Whether it is the hand-to-hand combat of the Xianbei people, the short assault tactics, or the cavalry harassment of the Huns, and the tactics of division and encirclement, in fact, they are not very good compared to the opponent's equipment, especially the tribes on the grassland, most of them are equipped with leather armor, and there is basically no iron armor, so these tactics are very effective against the tribes on the grassland.

However, once faced with well-trained and well-trained officers and soldiers in the Central Plains, this set of tactics is not very smart, of course, these are assumptions, and the imperial cavalry needs to have excellent commanders when the armor is complete and the will to fight is strong, and the cooperation with the ground infantry, if there is no these, plus the soldiers' will to fight is not firm, it is often the grassland tribe that will win.

The brutal and simple charge of the Xianbei people caused extremely lethality was extremely staggering, and after the two armies had engaged, they could often inflict considerable damage on the other side.

However, at this time the two armies were charging each other.

Rushing towards Duan Wu and the others was a typical grassland tribe cavalry, only a small number of soldiers were equipped with simple leather armor, most of the soldiers were just wearing some simple leather felt, and the soldiers were still using the kind of sabers that were not of very good quality at first glance, looking at the oncoming cluster of bone arrows, Duan Wu's face was a little puzzled.

These people are obviously the Huns, strange, where did the Huns come from?

Duan Wu saw that there were not many people and horses rushing in, about three or four hundred people, so he ordered to go to five hundred people to meet the opponent, on the Horqin grassland, the two teams collided together, after the two sides carried out a burst of shooting, the men and horses on both sides launched a charge hand-to-hand combat, the Xianbei cavalry of Duan Wu's department was well-trained in the wavy line attack, and after a round of assault to penetrate the opponent's formation, he immediately turned his horse's head to the left and retreated, and then circled around a large circular arc, and continued to launch a surprise attack with the horse's accelerated sprint ability.

Although the cavalry of the Duan Wu Department suffered heavy losses under the repeated assaults, this remnant of the defeated army was extremely tenacious, and suddenly divided into two groups, brandishing a saber and breaking into the formation of the Xianbei cavalry from the flank.

Assaulting the flanks and cutting off the waist and abdomen of the enemy army, this is a typical Hun tactic, Duan Wu saw that the five hundred people he sent out had been divided into two parts, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little dissatisfied with the performance of this centurion who led the team.

Han Meng quietly stepped forward at this time and said, Lord Wang, the other party's origin is unknown, and there is no point in fighting again, it is better to collect the troops, or to ask who it is first, this is the more critical thing.

Duan Wu was a little dissatisfied with the performance of this centurion in his heart, and after listening to Han Meng's persuasion, he ordered, blow the horn, and withdraw the troops.

Although it was in the melee, the cavalry of Duan Wu's department was still very elite, and when they heard the horn of the army, they abandoned the Hun cavalry and turned around to move closer to Duan Wu's main formation.

Seeing that Duan Wu's cavalry had retreated, the opponent did not pursue.

Duan Wu reprimanded the centurion who led the troops back, and asked him to go down and receive ten whips for his own punishment, as a punishment for his unfavorable command, at this time, Han Meng came up to remind Duan Wu, Lord Wang, you see, there seems to be someone dismounted on the other side.

Duan Wu raised his eyes and saw that indeed, after the two people led by him dismounted, they walked towards Duan Wu's side, and after a while, Duan Wu saw a black-faced man follow the thin man in front of him to Duan Wu.

I saw that the two of them made a Hun salute to Duan Wu, and said in Hun dialect, Hao Yuandu, a Hun in the lower party, dare to ask which honorable leader you are?

Duan Wu beckoned, signaling Han Meng, who understood Xiongnu dialect, to tell him what he meant, Han Meng leaned into Duan Wu's ear and said what this person meant, and Duan Wu instructed Han Meng to tell him his origin.

Han Meng saluted back at the Hun and said, This is the noble Lord Liwang of the Right Valley of Duanbu Xianbei, what is the matter with you here? Why do you want to attack our Duan Xianbei without saying a word?

The Hun named Hao Duyuan said, it was really a misunderstanding, we don't deceive the adults, we were chased and killed, and we have been on the run on the grassland for several days, but we have not thrown off the people who are chasing us, and we just mistakenly thought that the noble adults and the warriors of the Xianbei Department are here to hunt us down, so we want to strike first, this is really a misunderstanding.

Han Meng smiled coldly when he heard this, and said, Do you know where we are here? This is Liaoxi, how far away is Shangdang from here? You said that you are a Shangdang Hun and should have settled in Shangdang, why did you appear in Liaoxi, thousands of miles away? I think you're still honest! Beware of the Thunder Fury of the Right Valley King!

The Hun named Hao Duyuan, his eyes were slightly red, and he wiped his eyes slightly with his hand, and a few tears actually flowed out, Han Meng didn't react for a while, it's all men who have tears and don't flick, this guy is also a manly man, why did he cry?

Han Meng looked back at Duan Wu a little helplessly, Duan Wu was also very confused at this time? What's the situation? Han Meng, what are you? Let you ask, why do you cry to others in a few words? Now that the machete has been pulled out, it's not easy to recycle!

Hao Duyuan's side, who was a relatively thin man, cried now, and it seemed as if he had been bullied by Han Meng and Duan Wu, and the Hun cavalry in the distance began to be agitated one by one, shouting, and seeing another scuffle.

Han Meng hurriedly said, I said Hao ...... Hao Gongzi, you quickly explain to your subordinates, you see, your subordinates are already a little excited. Han Meng wanted to talk about Hao Zhuangshi, but the scene in front of him really couldn't call a crying man a strong man, so he changed his name to Gongzi.

Hao Duyuan wiped his tears with his sleeve and said repeatedly, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Turning his head and commanding the black-faced man, the black-faced man waved his arms at everyone again and again, and shouted loudly in the Hun dialect, It's okay, quiet. The Hun cavalry in the distance was quiet.

Hao Duyuan saw that this matter had been dealt with, adjusted his emotions, and talked carefully to Han Meng.

Due to the continuous chaos of the Three Kingdoms period, coupled with the extravagant atmosphere of the imperial court, the expropriation and expropriation, and the land annexation of the Gaomen soldiers, the social economy at that time suffered serious damage, and most of the people were displaced and homeless, this group of people was called the displaced people, because the local social economy was destroyed, the people fled from their hometowns, and the imperial court in order to enrich these areas, some ethnic minorities were relocated to the interior.

However, the ethnic minorities who migrated from outside the Saiwai became the targets of the oppression of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, became the slaves exploited by the Gaomen Shi clan, and were even more barbarian foreigners in the eyes of ordinary people.

Hao Duyuan's elder brother Hao San, originally a person with a very high prestige in the tribe, coupled with Hao San's tall and sturdy, jealous and hateful, easy to fight and hold grievances, usually the Huns in the party area like to seek Hao San's help, in this way, it is inevitable to go against the officials and gentry, after a long time, Hao San has become a thorn in the eye of the officials and gentry, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly.

This time Hao San offended the person with a deep background, and was directly arrested into the prison, the Huns spontaneously organized a team to rescue, but they did not expect to be hit by the court soldiers and horses and the officials and gentry, Hao Duyuan protected the old and weak women and children of the Hao family and left the Shangdang area, I didn't expect to be chased and killed all the way, and I had no choice but to flee outside the plug.

I don't know when I can go back at this time, my brother Hao San was also arrested and put in prison, and he took his clansmen to hide and hide everywhere along the way, just a few days ago, he was intercepted by the chasing soldiers, I don't know where the road is in the future, Hao Duyuan said this, and he was going to cry out sadly.

After Han Meng told Duan Wu these words of Hao Duyuan, Duan Wu looked at it and saw that what Hao Duyuan said was not true, Hao Duyuan's more than 300 brothers were in rags, and some of them still had blood stains on their bodies, but why didn't there be the old and weak women and children he said? When asked, I learned that Hao Duyuan had hidden the old and weak women and children in a cave in advance, and because the enemy came in a hurry, he had to lead the men in the tribe to come out and lure the enemy.

Han Meng attached to Duan Wu's ear at this time and said, Lord Wang, I think it is better to bring these Huns to Kuancheng first, whether to take them in or not, and whether they will serve us or not, it can be regarded as a good fate.

Duan Wu nodded in agreement, Han Meng told Hao Duyuan what Duan Wu meant, Hao Duyuan was so moved that he almost cried again, and saluted Duan Wu again and again, Duan Wu raised his hand, signaling that there was no need for this, so he ordered someone to take Hao Duyuan and the others down, properly settle, and prepare to return to the base camp Kuancheng.

Hao Duyuan looked at the fierce cavalry of the Duan Affairs Office, as well as the long list of women and children slaves captured, and a look of gloom flashed in his eyes......
