Chapter 201: The East Wind Rises

Zhang Xiang is the commander, and he doesn't have a real sword or a gun to fight, even he has this feeling, not to mention the soldiers below, Zhang Xiang found that the soldiers below are getting more and more irritable.

The opponent is getting stronger and stronger, but there are fewer and fewer prisoners, but Zhang Xiang didn't stop it, it's a good thing to vent it at this time, Zhang Xiang doesn't want to face tens of thousands of pairs of red eyes.

However, what made Zhang Xiang relieved was that there was no internal fighting for the time being, Zhang Xiang led tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops to wander the grassland for nearly a month, and he didn't know how many Hu people he killed and how many tribes he destroyed.

Zhang Xiang only knew that there was no Hu tribe near Bingzhou, in fact, Zhang Xiang did this a bit of a killing chicken and taking eggs, and there were also some Hu people in the Bingzhou army, and Zhang Xiang used to recruit them in a gentle way.

Now forced by the situation, Zhang Xiang has to implement the strategy of prospering and perishing those who follow me, and those who voluntarily take refuge in Hu are limited in their loyalty, and they don't know when they will turn against the water.

Zhang Xiang is also very uneasy about these Hu people who take refuge, the reason why Zhang Xiang accepts them is actually to give the Hu people a way to go, blocking the road will only cause trouble, not to mention the Hu people on the border.

The scout came to report that another 50,000 Hu cavalry was approaching, Zhang Xiang knew that he should leave the grassland, the Hu people had gradually united, this time it was 50,000, and I don't know how much next time.

Zhang Xiang's purpose this time was to plunder, not a decisive battle, Zhang Xiang did not confuse the concept, Zhang Xiang is also very confident in his army, the strength of the cavalry is the weakest in this climate.

And it can't fight for a long time, but this Hu Ren coalition army is also very smart, and it chose to break through in the early morning, and it is a long time in the summer, that is, at three or four o'clock in the morning, it can already see.

The weather will not be as hot as during the day, it will also reduce the loss of water, and the cavalry can fight for a longer time, if Zhang Xiang's scouts did not detect the enemy's traces earlier, the consequences may be unimaginable.

This is not a fluke, but Zhang Xiang arranged it in advance, these days Zhang Xiang spends every day in the screams, many soldiers have participated in this panic, Zhang Xiang in order to ensure that the prisoners survive more, ordered the panic can only be before the time of the child.

This is also a new order issued by Zhang Xiang recently, these days the soldiers under his command are becoming more and more disproportionate, and many soldiers do not sleep, so Zhang Xiang will choose to be compulsory.

Zhang Xiang also knew that if someone sneaked up at this time, his army would definitely collapse, so Zhang Xiang used the tactics of loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and sent a large number of scouts every day, and there were Zhang Xiang's people within a radius of 100 miles.

Not everyone in the army likes to panic, and some soldiers also want to take a break, so scouts have become a haven for these people, so there are many people who are willing to be scouts.

Unlike the first few days after entering the grassland, no one wanted to be a scout, and in the end, Zhang Xiang's personal guards went to act as a scout, and now there are many people who are willing to be scouts.

It also saved Zhang Xiang some troubles, these scouts finally took effect today, and the war drums were beaten in the camp, in fact, many soldiers had just fallen asleep at this time, so they were very angry.

The soldiers of Bingzhou gathered together, Zhang Xiang appeared in front of them, "Today is our last battle in the grassland, the opponent is 50,000 Hu cavalry, they are killing us, no matter whether we win or lose this battle, we will withdraw from the grassland and return to Bingzhou, and Bingzhou is not a grassland offender who violates military discipline." ”

The current camp of the Bingzhou army is a medium-sized Hu tribe, and the captives in this tribe have not yet been transported, so Zhang Xiang ordered all the captives to be escorted out and blocked out of the fence.

Zhang Xiang also can't help it, the tribe of the Hu people has no high walls, only some low fences, or set up to prevent the sheep from escaping, so it is very low, Zhang Xiang will not sacrifice foot soldiers to deal with cavalry.

In that case, the damage would be great, since there were ready-made human shields, Zhang Xiang would not expect these captives to fight for themselves, as long as they could reduce the impact of the Hu cavalry.

Zhang Xiang's willingness to do this was already very obvious, and many Hu people began to resist, but they immediately recruited the soldiers of Bingzhou to be killed, but none of them were killed, and the soldiers also knew the role of these Hu prisoners.

The Hu captives were no longer afraid of the choice of life and death, even if they were cut, they were not honest, and the noise was getting louder and louder, which alarmed Zhang Xiang, who was discussing the situation with the generals.

Zhang Xiang walked out with the generals, and saw that the fence was getting more and more noisy, Zhang Xiang personally pulled out the dog sword, and slashed and killed a few Hu people, Zhang Fei shouted, "You fools, you can't do this little thing." ”

Zhang Xiang opened his head, and the soldiers below also knew what to do, Zhang Fei walked over, "The third brother seems to have killed him like this, and there are not enough people?" Zhang Xiang glanced at the war horse, and the meaning was already obvious.

The last thing Zhang Xiang lacks now is the war horse, and the state soldiers cut off the two legs of the war horse to make the war horse lose its balance and block the edge of the fence, the speed of the Hu cavalry is very fast, and Zhang Xiang just blocked the fence here.

The cavalry of the Hu people was killed, and it was still the same way to greet them with cavalry first, but fortunately, Zhang Xiang set up a flesh and blood shield first, and cavalry shooting could not pose a threat to the soldiers of the Bingzhou army at all.

The Hu people can only shoot blindly, and the lethality of the projectile pays attention to the density, and the mounted shooting cannot meet the needs of the density at all, not to mention that the Hu people can't see the soldiers of the state at all, so the hit rate is even lower.

The soldiers of Bingzhou can easily dodge the arrows, and finally these Hu cavalry chose to collide, during this time Zhang Xiang led people to kill too ruthlessly, many tribes were wiped out, and many of these cavalry Hu people hated the people of Bingzhou.

They are also the dead soldiers in this cavalry, although Zhang Xiang arranged some simple horse traps on the periphery, but after all, the time was too rushed, and the land of the grassland was relatively soft.

After the explosion of the scorching sun, the earth has dried up and cracked, and now it is more like sand, so the trap pit has a limited role, Zhang Xiang watched the Hu people fill the fence, and stepped on the corpses of his own people to kill the Bingzhou army.

The effect of cavalry archery projectile is not large, but the projectile effect on the side of the state army is much greater, the closer the Hu people are, the better the effect of the soldier projectile, although the dead cavalry has attacked the tribe, but the number is not large.

These people are simply here to deliver food, but there are too many people on both sides, in fact, Zhang Xiang's small tricks have a very limited effect, just to take the lead.

In the end, it was the courage of the soldiers that could be won, and the flesh and blood shields were finally knocked away, and the Hu captives never dreamed that they would die at the hands of their own people, and they had no ability to resist.

The Hu cavalry lost its impact and attacked the tribe, and although the morale of the soldiers in the state was very high, after all, there were many soldiers who tossed all night, and their physical strength and energy were reduced, and the two sides were half a catty and eight taels!

Now it depends on who can persevere, in fact, Zhang Xiang doesn't like such a frontal encounter the most, but this kind of battle on the frontal battlefield is the most common, and even if Zhang Xiang wants to avoid it, he can't avoid it.

So when the Hu people united to attack, Zhang Xiang knew that he should retreat, and there would be more such encounters in the future, so it would be better to go first while he was taking advantage of it now!

The battle of more than 100,000 people on both sides was not instantaneous, and the battle lasted until noon, and Zhang Xiang was a little dizzy under the sun, not to mention the soldiers fighting below.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, especially in such a climate, where many flies flew around the battlefield, and most of the flies on the steppe were cowflies, each of which was very large.

Falling on the corpse is extremely disgusting, there is no time for the two sides to rest at all, the battle of the steppe is more barbaric and fairer, and the conditions on both sides are the same.

No party has an advantage, and those who are handsome must understand the truth of the right time, the right place and the right people, and Zhang Xiang still knows a little bit about the changes in the time, Zhang Xiang suddenly found that the east wind is blowing surprisingly today.

In the past, it was a southerly wind, and the wind direction was not big, but today is the war, but the big east wind is blowing, as the so-called one person east wind three days of rain, it seems that it is going to rain today.

And seeing that the wind is very likely to be a torrential rain, as soon as Zhang Xiang thought of this, it rained the sun, which is a good thing for both warring parties, after all, the sun rain is very gentle.

But the clouds soon obscured the sun, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and finally a torrential rain was formed, and the two sides had to call out their troops and truce, after all, under such a torrential rain, it was impossible to fight.

The heavy rain has been falling, and it can indeed relieve the heat at first, but then it feels a little cold, and there are more troublesome things, Zhang Xiang found that his camp was waterlogged, and the grassland was at least difficult to see that it was low-lying.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiang's current camp is in a low-lying position, Zhang Xiang can only be forced to move in the rain, and the army will march overnight, but in this way, he has escaped the Hu people, which is also a good thing among the bad things.

Under such rain, it was not suitable for marching, Zhang Xiang had to give up all his baggage, fortunately Zhang Xiang would transport the captured goods back to Bingzhou tomorrow, otherwise a heavy rain would make Zhang Xiang suffer heavy losses.

In the end, Zhang Xiang camped on a high ground, but after this rainstorm, there was a big scorching sun, and the temperature was even hotter than usual, and Zhang Xiang knew that the crops in Bingzhou were completely finished.

If it weren't for Zhang Xiang's looting on the grassland for more than a month, it would have been difficult to survive this great drought, and Zhang Xiang would not have been able to come on the grassland.

I can only think of other ways, let's go back first! After all, the cavalry of the Hu people is still behind, maybe there will be another big battle, so it is better to evacuate as soon as possible!

Zhang Xiang chose to march quickly, only resting for three hours a day, desperately rushing back, afraid that the Hu people would continue to chase and kill, in fact, Zhang Xiang's worries were superfluous, the Hu people wanted Zhang Xiang to go, how could they stop the pursuit? (To be continued.) )
