Chapter 77: Hunting Xianbei
At dinner, Gao Shun checked the number of junior cavalry, there were 71 people, and tomorrow there will be 73 people; Gao Shun believes that coupled with him, Li Qiang and others, there is absolute certainty that they will attack a Xianbei Yiluo with such strength. Gao Shun and Li Qiang and others have BMWs in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, and the junior infantry has 1 high-grade war horse, which is not at all comparable to the ordinary war horses of the Xianbei people, and has an absolute advantage in horse warfare.
Gao Shun asked everyone: "Do we change into the clothes of the Huns?" In case there is an escape, it can confuse their judgment, so that the Xianbei people can believe in our plan to blame the trouble. ”
Li Qiang said: "Hehe, general, they can recognize us as Han people just by looking at our hairstyles and faces; However, we are wearing ordinary armor, and there is no rank mark, let alone a flag, as long as we cover our heads and faces with cloth, no one will recognize us. ”
Cao Shan said: "This method is useless at all, our cavalry is equipped with uniform standard weapons, which is not something that the Huns can do, besides, there is a big gap between our size and the Huns, they can recognize it at a glance, and there is no need to do more; I'm worried that as long as people escape, then we will be exposed, we have so few men, they will definitely organize a large army to encircle and annihilate us, I still suggest that we must be annihilated, otherwise we will retreat immediately, and we must not take risks. ”
Gao Shun thought about it for a while, felt that Cao Shan's words were reasonable, and still aimed at fighting for total annihilation, and said: "By tomorrow, we will have 73 junior cavalry, and it will not be much of a problem to raid a hundred and ten Xianbei Yiluo, and strive for total annihilation; I will take 13 men to attack from the front, and each of you will take 2 cavalrymen, and surround them from 3 sides. ”
Li Qiang retorted: "Hehe, general, this method is okay to deal with the Huns, their number is small, and it is not good to deal with the Xianbei people, and the battle spells must be changed; The general took 2 Shi to attack from the front, Cao Zitai and Zhou Yuanhang each brought 2 Shi to outflank from the left and right, and I took the rest of the cavalry to the front to intercept; Only in this way can the effect of a sneak attack be brought into play, not giving the enemy time to organize a counterattack, and killing them by surprise, otherwise when we surround them, their people will also organize a counterattack, and they will even easily break out of the encirclement; In addition, if something bad happens, the general will release one of the guards, and I feel the need to release them. ”
Zhou Fei said: "It's better for me to lead in the frontal charge, and the general will outflank it." ”
Li Qiang said: "Yuanhang, your force value is much worse than that of the general, and the general and other guards will appear at any time, so it will not be in the way to deal with these ordinary enemies." ”
Cao Shan said: "I also don't recommend that the general risk his life, or release a guard now." ”
Gao Shun said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, such a small war is the best opportunity to exercise actual combat experience, and it should not be missed." If there is danger, I will release the other guards, otherwise I want to wait until I take the position of the 3rd county taishou before releasing 3 people, and it is enough to keep one person. ”
Li Qiang said: "Okay, that's it." ”
Early the next morning, the four of them took advantage of the cool weather and set off to the west, walking less than 3 miles, and Gao Shun's system map showed many red dots.
Gao Shun said with a smile: "The opportunity has come, there is a Xianbei fall within 8 kilometers due west. ”
Li Qiang smiled: "Hehe, the terrain here is high in the east and low in the west, which is very suitable for our sneak attack, it seems that God helps us." ”
Gao Shun said: "Let's continue to move forward, and then release the cavalry when we are more than 1 mile away from the enemy's territory, they will definitely be defenseless, take them by surprise, go!" ”
In order to maintain the horsepower, the four of them rode slowly, Gao Shun checked the display of the red dots on the map at any time, more concentrated, estimated, less than 100 people, mixed with more than 10 yellow dots, it seems that they are Han people enslaved by Xianbei.
Over the years, only Xianbei has plundered other ethnic groups, and no one has come to attack them, so they are very relieved, and they have not even set up sentry posts, and Gao Shun and the others did not attract their attention when they were about to arrive in their town.
When it was estimated that there was still a distance of 1 mile, Gao Shun chose to release 73 junior cavalry from behind a bush, and looked at the horses, which were indeed taller than ordinary medium war horses, each dressed in leather armor, equipped with bows and crossbows, arrows, spears, and waist knives.
"Hello General." The huge greeting made Gao Shun startled, because of this greeting, they must have been exposed.
Gao Shun didn't care about anything else, and directly ordered: "The front is the enemy, the 1st and 2nd Shi will charge with me head-on, the 3rd and 4th Shi will outflank from the left, and the 5th and 6th Shi will be copied from the right, Du Bo and the rest of the personnel will go to the front to intercept the fleeing people and act immediately." ”
"Yes, General."
Everyone acted separately, charging from the high slope to the low place, and the speed of the war horse gradually increased, and the distance of more than 500 meters arrived in an instant.
The Xianbei people began to organize a counterattack in such a short period of time, and their quality was much stronger than that of the Huns, and some people had already taken out their weapons and ran towards the stable, while those close to the stables had already mounted their horses and rushed in the direction of Gao Shun and others, so as to buy enough time for the rest of the tribe.
Gao Shun carried a big gun and rushed to the front of the team, and the two chiefs each carried a shi, all with spears in their hands; Cao Shan and Zhou Fei each led 2 cavalry to the front of Gaoshun, and 21 people on each side lined up in a long line, surrounding Xianbei from the left and right sides, all of them with bows and arrows in hand, ready to shoot and kill.
Liqiang led the remaining 13 men to charge forward all the way, with the goal of blocking the enemy's escape route.
The Xianbei cavalry rushing to the east, before they could get close to Gaoshun, they were shot under their horses by sharp arrows flying from the north and south.
The speed of the war horse has already rushed up, Gao Shun went straight to the direction of the horse shed to kill, and when he met the Xianbei people on the road, he only swept it with a spear, and killed it with the huge impact of the horse.
At this time, the Xianbei people did not have the same level of confusion as when the Huns were attacked; The woman tightly protected the child and hid to the side to avoid being injured by mistake; The young and middle-aged men all took up arms and began to fight back, even if they did not have weapons in hand, they picked up the things around them to defend themselves or push the wooden cart to block the enemy; The Han cavalry came, and for them, if they couldn't win, they would die, so they all fought hard.
The arrows on both sides whizzed from time to time, and as long as the body was exposed, all of them were mercilessly shot or injured. From time to time, Xianbei people hid behind obstacles and fired arrows, and a few junior infantry were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, but fortunately, the formation was sparse and was not trampled by the horses.
However, they only have a chance to shoot an arrow, and once exposed, they are shot into hedgehogs by arrows fired everywhere.
The Xianbei people in the stables saw that the enemy was numerous and fierce, and that the general situation was gone, so they pushed open the wooden door from the inside, and prepared to flee westward; Before the war horse raised its speed, it was intercepted by Li Qiang, first shot a person with a strong crossbow, and then chased it directly with a big gun, and the other personnel were under the leadership of Dubo, some people held spears, some people held bows and arrows, spaced from each other, covered each other, and the attack methods were matched far and near, and no one could easily escape.
The stables were occupied, the towns were surrounded, the young and strong were slaughtered, and the Xianbei people had no power to resist.
At this time, a shout came from the haystack: "General, save us, we are Han-me-Epitek." ”
Zhou Fei, who was close, shouted: "Hide, don't move, be careful of being killed by mistake." ”
"Yes, General."
Gao Shun shouted: "Surrender, or the clan will be wiped out." ”
The other cavalry shouted, "Surrender!" Surrender! ”
The huge shouts shocked the surviving Xianbei people. At this time, an old man walked out of the tent tremblingly, and immediately knelt on the ground, and said: "General, spare our lives, we are willing to sacrifice all our cattle and sheep, and we are willing to be your slaves, please spare the lives of my people." ”
"Gather the people together."
"Yes, General."
All around were Han soldiers with bows and arrows, and all of them lost the opportunity to escape, and in order to survive, they all obediently came out of the tents and hiding places according to the old man's request.
"Get on your knees!" Gao Shun shouted.
"All kneeling at the general's request." The old man ordered the clansmen in Xianbei again, which was regarded as a translation.
Gao Shun asked viciously, "Is it complete?" If you are found out, you will be killed! ”
"Back to the general, it's all done."
It is estimated that there are more than 50 men, women and children in total, and more than 50 people are killed.
There are no more young men among the remainder.
Gao Shun asked, "Are you all willing to surrender and be my slaves?" ”
"Yes!"
At this time, Zhou Fei had called out the more than 10 Han slaves; Gao Shun saw that they were all strong men, 12 people, so he ordered, "These people are all my slaves, you tie them up first." ”
"Yes, General." The 12 rescued people quickly found hemp ropes, or cut the deceased's clothes into strips, and tied up more than 50 Xianbei people with their backhands.
Gao Shun said to Li Qiang: "Kill them all." ”
"Yes, General." Li Qiang likes to do such a happy thing the most.
Gao Shun instructed the two to quickly look for the fallen cavalry to see if there was any hope of treatment; At the same time, open the system map to view, there are no fish caught around; Gao Shun secretly sighed, using the junior cavalry to encircle and suppress the alien tribes, the efficiency is much stronger than the use of infantry, and it didn't take 5 minutes to end the battle.
A total of 5 cavalrymen were recovered, and 3 were hit by arrows, which were seriously wounded; 2 were injured by a fall, so they didn't get in the way, and they could return to the battlefield after a short rest.
Gao Shun immediately released 2 junior gold sore doctors from the system and asked them to treat them.
Li Qiang was very funny and said to the 12 rescued: "You can all choose a woman to be your wife." ”
When the old man heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart.
"I can't wait to eat its flesh and sleep its skin, and can An marry a barbarian?" One of the strong men said viciously.
"I don't share the sky with Hu Man." The other person also rejected Li Qiang's kindness.
When the old man heard this, he was like falling into an ice cellar, and his heart was cold.
Gao Shun was very curious and checked the attributes of the two people, Xue Yin, with a force value of 85 and an intelligence of 79; Su Zhi, force value 59, intelligence 63; Wow, I picked up the treasure, I took the opportunity to check the other 10 people, the force value is around 50, and the highest is Wang Xiu, and the force value is 66.
So Gao Shun said: "Now, I order you to behead the Xianbei barbarians and execute them immediately. ”
"Yes, General."
The 12 people quickly found large knives from the other Xianbei dead or tents, and each person was divided into four to five people, ready to be executed.
The old man of Xianbei saw that the Han people did not keep their promises, and prepared to kill them all, "The Heavenly Empire, why don't you keep your promise and lose your trust?" ”
Gao Shun smiled: "Hehe, what did I promise?" Besides, barbarians, unworthy of men! ”
"Haha, the general said it well." The 12 people kept stabbing in their hands, killing the old and young women and children who were tied up one by one.
Those people are also afraid of death, women scream, children cry, some people scold, and some people keep begging for mercy, but unfortunately Gao Shun can't understand the barbarian language.
Gao Shun secretly said, when the strength is strong in the future, he will transport the women and girls back, the younger ones are slaves, and the older ones are assigned to the Han people who can't marry wives, and they can be regarded as contributing to the great integration of the nation.
