Chapter 150: Attack on Kano (Part I)
In the middle of the night. In the dim moonlight, the horse team of 500 Han troops and more than 2,000 war horses led by you, after galloping for 900 miles day and night, ghostly passed through the weathered area of the ancient river channel of Kum and appeared on the grassland of the pasture of Lake Kano.
The horse team came to a silent halt among the rocks and sand mounds that lined the weathered zone. Waiting for your command.
Kano Lake Ranch is one of the most abundant traditional pastures for aquatic plants occupied by the Great Rope Division.
Kano Lake, for Dasuo, is the Mother Lake. He had grown up near the lake since he was a child, and in his mind, it was the sacred lake, the source of his tribe's inexhaustible strength. When he wasn't on the expedition, he lived long hours of time each year on the shores of Lake Kano. Because of the large-scale southern invasion, Dasuo took away most of the tribal Zhuangding in the Kano Lake area, and now it is the tribe of Dasuo's uncle Shoutuo Wang Ye who remains here.
You are here to give Da Suo a dismount, and kill his uncle Shou Tuo, who has the best relationship with him, in his favorite pasture.
You ride to the front of the line and look ahead.
You see the blue Lake Kano ahead, which glows faintly in the moonlight.
The whole steppe is very quiet. Another tribe under Da Suo, hundreds of large and small felt bags of the Shoutuo tribe stood on the grass by the lake.
It's dark inside all the felt bags. They were all asleep.
You say, "Zhang Bao, send two people to quietly approach and see if they have any sentinels and defenses." ”
"Yes."
You stand behind the rocks, waiting.
The entire horse team, whether it was a soldier or a war horse, maintained a high degree of tactical discipline under strict training, and all of them remained motionless without any sound, even the snort of the war horse and the slight treading of the horse's hooves were completely absent.
You lie in the shadow of the stone pillars and the sand, like a leopard holding its breath before hunting.
In a moment, Zhang Bao's scouts came to report back, because this was already the core area of the grassland, and for hundreds of years, the Han army had never penetrated into such a distant enemy area, so the Shou Tuo Department did not expect that the Han army would fall from the sky and attack suddenly. In addition, this place is far away from the tribes of Rongxian, Tubo and Xibei, so he did not take any precautions, and did not even arrange a sentry!
You were overjoyed in your heart, and secretly said, "God help me!" ”
You reach down and put the face protector off your helmet. You take off your spear and hold it in your hand. You turn to face the troops.
You say, "Listen up." We rushed into the camp in three directions. I'm in the middle, taking the largest yurt. Wu Shun is on the left, and Zhang Bao is on the right. Everyone should not dismount, they should impact and trample on the yurt when they see it, and kill people when they see it, regardless of men, women, old and children, and do not kill war horses. When they saw a high-ranking general with command ability, they immediately surrounded and killed many people. ”
Say, "We will go through the camp like a storm, and after passing through the camp, we will come back again, and so on." If the enemy is routed and flees, they will chase them for their lives, and even if they reach the edge of the sky, they must all be killed, and not a single living mouth can be spared! Try not to make a fire. ”
You say, "Do you understand?" ”
"Understood." The crowd answered.
You twist the horse's head and face the shimmering waves of Lake Kano.
You ordered, "Follow me, charge at full speed!" Kill! ”
Before you could finish speaking, you rushed to the prairie first.
In an instant, a black wave poured out of the pile of strange rocks and sand. In the midst of the earth-shaking shouts and the rapid galloping of more than 2,000 war horses, the Han army raised its sabers high, like a flood that broke the embankment, and pounced on the camp by the lake with the momentum of devastation.
This is the first time that the enemy has learned the majestic full-speed charge of the Xinhan army, and that kind of scene is really thrilling! The loud sound and the strong tremor of the earth made the waters of the entire Lake Kano churn. The glowing moon shattered into countless silver shavings in the lake in an instant.
The Shou Tuobu was immediately plunged into the panic and chaos of the catastrophe.
When the Han army's horses broke through the tents, many enemy soldiers were still asleep. Many soldiers were so frightened that their weapons were cut down to the ground before they could touch them, and they didn't even see who had killed them.
For a time, the camp was in disarray, full of screams of women and children and screams of soldiers being killed, and they fled in all directions in the camp without forming an organized resistance at all.
The first round of Han slaughter left more than 400 corpses in the camp.
Just as the enemy came out of the collapsed yurt, the Han army's horse team swept in again, and in an instant there was a flash of swords and desperate screams.
After escaping from the first round of attacks, he found a saber from the corpse of a soldier, and he got out from under the yurt and joined the battle. After bravely slashing and killing the two Han soldiers besieging him, he felt a strong wind in the back of his head.
As soon as he turned around, a silver spear tip had reached the front of his nose, and the skin on his nose instantly wrinkled from the cold air of the spear tip.
In a panic, he instinctively raised his sword to block. But it was too late, and before his knife could be fully raised, the spear pierced through his nose, revealing the tip of the spear from the back of his head. The spear was so powerful that his entire body was strung around the spear and flew backwards.
In the midst of the pain, he reached out and grabbed the barrel of the gun, slamming it heavily on the ground.
But instead of killing him immediately, he showed a jaw-dropping toughness.
He was still able to grab the barrel of the gun and staggered to his feet, trying to find the man who had just stabbed him, and die with him.
Just as he rises from the ground, your horse swept through like a storm.
After the strong wind, Sange Yunbu fell like a dead leaf.
Your dagger plunges into the back of his heart, down to the hilt. Before the blood could be shed, Sangyunbu became the third enemy general after Hesse and Guna to die without even seeing your face.
In the short time you had to deal with Sange Yunbu, Shou Tuo escaped from the big tent, he didn't even have time to put on his pants, he jumped on a war horse naked, and fled for his life to the east. was seeing Wu Shun, who was coming back from the rush.
Wu Shun led 20 Han soldiers to chase after him, and the two sides launched a life-and-death struggle on the grassland.
Shou Tuo was chased by the Han army to the point that there was no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.
In the thickest darkness before dawn, he was finally caught up by the Han army, and after a scuffle, he was hacked to death by the Han army.
When Wu Shun led the team back to Kano Lake, the battle was already over.
