Chapter 157: The Xiongnu Advance Army
More than 300 soldiers were killed in the battle, of which more than 100 died in the poisonous mist, and a few other poisoned purification charms could not be saved. At the same time, when there was a scuffle on the battlefield, there were also some casualties.
However, compared to this record, it is very remarkable. After all, there are more than 200 Yellow Turban warriors on the other side, and although these guys don't have any brains, each of them has general-level combat effectiveness.
Rebellion and bandit suppression are also completely different concepts, and the method of calculating merit is completely different. This time I went back, these thousands of levels, I could get rich rewards, and the compensation for the dead and disabled soldiers in front of me was really nothing.
"Speaking of which!" On the way north, Li Ming seemed to think of something, "Didn't this Huns settle down in Wuyuan County?" Even if you go south, you shouldn't be able to leave Bingzhou and enter Sizhou! ”
"The lord doesn't know anything!" Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly, "This state is vast and sparsely populated, and there is nothing to grab itself." Over the years, the Huns have fought grass valleys many times, and were occasionally repelled by the Han army, but in the end they are getting bolder and bolder. This year is even more rampant, I didn't expect to cross Xihe County and directly enter the scope of Sizhou! ”
"These prairie guys are the most hateful!" Xu Huang knows more about the grassland peoples, "Don't look at the Huns who grovel to the Han now, the people below are all wild!" Those guys don't have a so-called state at all, and they don't have a real political power, they live more in groups as a tribal unit, and sometimes the power of the patriarch is greater than that of Shan Yu!
As for the grass valley, in fact, the Xiongnu have beaten the grass valley relatively less times in the past 20 years, and they have also begun to cultivate and begin to live the same life as the Han people in Wuyuan County. So this time I think it's not just as simple as hitting the grass valley, it's a premeditated invasion, or a kind of temptation! ”
"Then speaking of which, at that time in Qiluo Pavilion, those Huns seemed to have done it on purpose!" Xin Bi suddenly reacted, "After all, they are nominally envoys, as vassals of the Great Han, they don't tremble when they come to the Great Han Kingdom, but they are so arrogant, this is not normal!" ”
"Can't you rule out that, as they say, this is the tributary trade that the patriarch below is hiding from him?" Li Ming asked, after all, he remembered that for a long time, there was a lot of trade like this, and even their king didn't know about it.
I vaguely remember that there was a Ming Dynasty that there were two tributes from the Japanese envoys in a certain year, and then I realized that I had been tricked, so I gave the Japanese king a peace, and only with this thing can it be regarded as a legitimate mission.
After discussing it for a long time, the conclusion was: the Huns were restless! As for the rest? That's not something they need to worry about!
After all, a lieutenant general who commands 5,000 miscellaneous armies can't even do it to the court, and he still expects to influence the policies of the imperial court? In the final analysis, there is too little power to speak, and if there is something, it is also a tall man's responsibility, so why bother with it!?
Li Ming asked to hurry, and the soldiers also went out to hurry, if it weren't for the burden, I was afraid that it would be possible to do it for a hundred miles a day. I walked thirty miles that day, and I was able to do this in half a day, which is already considered an elite level.
On the second day, he walked more than 80 miles directly, and it was less than 70 miles away from Puzi County. It was only at this time that the degree slowed down, and on the third day, it only advanced less than forty miles, and at the same time, the scouts were released to the maximum extent, and the news continued to be summarized and returned.
Finally, at noon on the fourth day, the scouts came to report that there were now more than 500 foreign cavalry, which should be scattered Xiongnu troops, or the vanguard army of the Huns!
In fact, it is not so strict to fight the grass valley, each tribe sends people, and then organizes to go south, and rob what they see, anyway, they take what they lack at home. If enough is enough, you will leave, not enough to continue south, and the more things you take, the better the winter.
For the Huns, whether they can live a fat year depends on how much they can earn! They are also calculating, calculating the time when the Han army gets the news and then sends troops over, calculating that there is at least more than a month left!
It only takes a little half a month for them to leave here. At that time, even if the iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty came over, it would just be eating dust behind them! It is this characteristic of coming and going like the wind that makes every time the grassland people go south to fight the grass valley, the pressure on the front line will multiply! The imperial court is even more among them, and the pressure can be imagined!
"Can you deal with it?" Li Ming looked at Xu Huang, if there were more than five hundred ordinary cavalry, he didn't have the idea of making a move.
"Yes!" Xu Huang patted his chest, there are only three hundred under his command, but it is not a problem to deal with five hundred barbarians!
"Kill all, my principle is one 'although it is far away, it will be punished'!" Li Ming said slowly, but the perseverance in his eyes was conveying his attitude and principles to everyone around him.
Whoever dares to stretch out his claws will be cut off! In fact, cutting is not fun, but unfortunately there is no way to have a thousand-mile chase!
There is no need to render, even after three days of forced march, the morale of the soldiers is still like a rainbow. Five thousand rebel thieves have been killed, do you care about your five hundred thieves? The three hundred scouts were killed directly, strictly speaking, this was their first collective charge!
This does not affect their swing, just because they have practiced countless times, just because in Li Ming's heart, he really hopes to be able to form a cavalry unit, and even an elite cavalry that can be compared with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and even the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! It can be said that for cavalry, the strictness of his requirements is much higher than that of infantry!
Under the leadership of Xu Huang, the cavalry quickly turned into a sharp cone and pierced directly towards the front. And at this time, the Xiongnu vanguard not far away, yes, they were indeed the vanguard, and their task was to reconnoiter the situation of the Han army, and at the same time ensure the most suitable route of march.
Maybe it was a smooth ride, but these pioneers were actually chatting first, chatting about the harvest after breaking through the dock fort before, such as how tender a certain woman was, or how much food was in it.
The most talked about is the cheats and martial arts of Lian Qi, but unfortunately they were taken away by their patriarch. This thing grassland is rarer and more precious, and many grassland people have already figured it out, if they want to fight with the big Han, they must first practice Qi!
At the moment of speaking, I only felt that a yellow sand suddenly appeared on the horizon in front of me, listening to the rumbling sound, they who had been living in the grassland, naturally understood that this was a cavalry unit advancing.
At this time, Xu Huang and the others had already appeared on the horizon and quickly moved closer to them.
"Han Jun? But why did the Han army appear so quickly? The Huns suddenly frowned, and then smiled, "What is there to be afraid of?" They are less than us, kill them! ”
He immediately raised the ring knife in his hand, and immediately shouted: "Immortal Heaven bless, give me invincible strength!" ”
When the other Huns heard this, they also raised their weapons and shouted: "Immortal Heaven bless, give me invincible strength!" ”
The Huns are good at witchcraft, and with a roar, everyone's muscles quickly swelled, and their eyes have become extremely red. For a while, it seemed that there was inexhaustible strength, and his chest was full of strong fighting spirit.
At the same time, he rode forward and killed Xu Huang's troops directly.
"Be careful, follow me!" Xu Huang shouted and plunged directly into the enemy's army.
