Chapter 394: The Han Army Arrives
"Queen, why is it that it is all now, and the Han army has not yet arrived? Is your message accurate? Some of the unconfident lords began to question the accuracy of the news that Himiko had released to form an alliance with the Han army, because until now, the 200,000 soldiers of the Yamatai Alliance had lost nearly 80,000, and their opponents had lost nearly 50,000, but they had not found the slightest shadow of the Han army, which made them gradually doubt the news that the Han army was coming.
Although Himiko was also very anxious in her heart, she knew that she could only find a way to persuade these people now, otherwise, once the morale of the army was fluctuating, I am afraid that the entire alliance would collapse in an instant, and many small countries would turn to the Dog Slave Alliance, so that she would only be left with defeat.
Therefore, Himihu smiled and said: "You can rest assured, the Han army has already made a plan, and will definitely shoot when the Himi Gonghu is the most slack, and the Han army will not make a move, as long as it is shot, it will definitely make Himi Gonghu have no hope of turning over, what we have to do is to hold the position before the arrival of the Han army, and find out the news of the Dog Slave Country camp at any time, once the Beimi Gonghu leads the army to retreat in a hurry, we will immediately lead the army to pursue and defeat them completely." ”
Seeing Himiko's affirmation, the skeptical lords gradually settled down in their hearts, on the one hand, they encouraged their soldiers to fight bravely, and on the other hand, they quietly waited for the news of the arrival of the Han army.
After three days of hard resistance, some lords lost confidence, including an An Peisan, the lord of the Yidu Kingdom, who saw that the bow was pressed too tightly, and his soldiers suffered thousands of casualties.
Ampe-san's actions caused quite a stir within the Yamatai Alliance, and many kingdoms were ready to stir up. Some of the lords even banded together to question Himiko, asking her to give an exact time for the Han army to fight, otherwise they would take root in Himiko like Ampe-san.
In desperation, Himiko had no choice but to comfort the lords of the country, and at the same time promised that once he defeated Himiko. They will be given an extra share of their possessions.
At this moment, suddenly a sergeant shouted loudly from outside: "Queen, there is heavy news." ”
The sergeant had a loud voice, and this roar suddenly startled the hearts of Himiko and the lords of the country, thinking that Himiko had attacked again.
Himihu pretended to be calm, and asked in a deep voice, "Aso, don't panic, what's the news?" Take your time. ”
Despite this, Himiko was also nervous in his heart. Seeing that the soldier named Aso was so flustered, she had a bad premonition in her heart, and she was ready to order the army to retreat immediately.
Sure enough, I heard that Aso say: "Queen, Himi bow call, Himi bow call......."
"What's wrong with Himi Bow Hu? Is it another attack? Several lords were impatient and hurriedly asked loudly.
"Himi Gong called out the troops, really. Nearly 100,000 men and horses were evacuated, and a large number of weapons and materials were left behind in the places where they were stationed. You can see how hurriedly they withdrew. Aso's tone was so unmistakable, but there was still a look of doubt on his face. Because he couldn't guess why the even victorious Beimi Gonghu withdrew his troops, and he was in such a hurry, was it another trick to lure the enemy?
The nearby lords also widened their eyes one by one, with an incredible look on their faces, although they were simple-minded. However, the battle that was ambushed by Himi Yuhu before had left a deep imprint on his mind, so almost everyone agreed that this was definitely a conspiracy of Himi Yuko.
The only exception is Himiko.
When Himiko heard the news, he was stunned. Immediately, a huge ecstasy filled his heart, and he clapped his hands excitedly and laughed: "It was the Han army that arrived, our allies arrived, they launched an attack from behind the Beimi Gonghu and occupied many territories of the Dog Slave Country. ”
"Is this true?" Several lords of the country were skeptical and asked in disbelief.
"Haha, of course it's true, you all think that the Han army is here to support us, right? Wrong, the garrison of the Han army is on an island called Yizhou in the southwest of us, and they have already made an appointment with me to lead the army to fight against Beimi Gonghu to attract his attention, and then their army will take the opportunity to attack Beimi Gonghu's lair, and then we will fight back and forth to completely defeat the Dog Slave Alliance, this is the Han people's art of war, you don't understand. Himiko laughed and patiently explained to the lords, and then immediately ordered the alliance army to attack immediately, regain the lost territory, and seize the land and population of the Dog Slave Alliance.
Himihu's guess was right, this time the reason why Himiko retreated in a hurry was indeed because he got the news that a mysterious force suddenly broke into his land from the south, killed a force that dared to resist, kidnapped women, reduced children to slavery, and took the supplies for himself, and in just one day, he ransacked hundreds of miles of his country, and now it is only three hundred miles away from his palace.
When he heard that his lair was threatened, he didn't dare to delay here any longer, so he immediately retreated, but because he was in a hurry, he didn't even have time to transport all the supplies he had taken along the way, and he was easily recaptured by Himiko's coalition army.
Not to mention the hatred of occupying the lair, just the fact that he lost the many treasures that he had taken from the front, and he would never let go of this hateful intruder.
Beimi Gonghu naturally didn't know that it was the Han army who attacked them this time, in fact, even if he knew, now that the arrow was on the line, he had to send it, because without his lair, he was no different from a lost dog, even if he was not qualified to surrender Himiko, not to mention that he would not take refuge in that damn woman.
Due to the occupation of the old nest, Beimi Gonghu and his army were all anxious, and the whole army ran fifty miles in one day, and few people were left behind, which was really a miracle in history.
That night, the whole army was scattered to rest in twos and threes, all with listless expressions, for they were all concerned about their kingdom, their tribes, and their families.
Fools know that since the enemy army dares to sneak up on them. The strength is definitely not too weak, and there are almost no adult men in their rear, some are only old and weak women and children, so the ending can be imagined.
"There are still a hundred miles to reach our palace, and you can hold on for two more days, as long as we all go back. You don't have to worry about the hateful invaders, but they are just barbarians on some islands not far to the south, who have been bribed by the woman Himiko, and although it sounds powerful, there must be a limited number of them, and I am afraid that we will be able to scare them away without fighting at all when we go back. Himi kept comforting the lords of the other kingdoms, and at the same time comforting himself. Even he thinks that this is not comfort at all, but simply an ironclad fact.
Early the next morning, without much urging, all the lords and all the soldiers felt that they had gotten up, simply ate some food, and after finishing up, anxiously waiting for the order to set off.
A wave of emotion suddenly emerged from Himi Gonghu. He felt that such a team would be absolutely invincible no matter what army it encountered. Therefore, Himi Gonghu gave a decisive order, and the army set off immediately.
On this day, the army of Himi Yuhu had advanced sixty miles, and if he had publicized such a miracle, no one would have believed it.
This day's hard work, everyone is sleepy. Stop at a valley and get ready to rest for the night before heading to the palace the next day.
He believed that his men would have been able to reach the palace before the abominable invaders, for they had marched a hundred and fifty miles in three days, which was already a remarkable achievement. And those invaders were still three hundred miles from the palace, and it was impossible to arrive in three days anyway.
But sometimes the development of things is really unpredictable, just as his soldiers began to eat, suddenly heard a sound of war drums around him, followed by earth-shattering shouts of killing.
Himi Gonghu's face suddenly changed greatly, because he knew that since the other party had war drums, he would prove that he was definitely not an ordinary barbarian tribe, because such a high-level thing could only be found in those regions with more developed civilizations.
"Who the hell are these people?" Himi Gonghu's eyes widened, his face was full of incredulity, and he asked silently.
But then he saw a pair of neatly lined warriors around him, with crooked knives and long spears in their hands, and they were not dressed in coarse-grained linen clothes, but leather armor.
"This, this is the Qin people." Himi Gonghu suddenly remembered a legend that had been passed down from his ancestors, and couldn't help but turn pale and said in a lost voice.
But then he thought about it again. At this time, there were no more Qin people, and these soldiers should be Han Chinese.
"Oh my God, this is the army of the Great Han, why are they here? Could this be the hole card of this cheap woman? No wonder her army was unusually brave this time, it turned out to be because of this. He looked at the well-equipped and murderous troops on the opposite side, and then at the panicked soldiers on his side, and suddenly felt a deep despair: "With such a strong team, how can we have any hope of victory?" ”
At this moment, An Peisan, who had taken refuge in him when he saw that the situation was not good, came to the front, and said with a pale face: "King, this, this is the army of the Great Han, you look at their weapons and armor, we can't compare with them at all, how can we fight with them?" ”
Beimigong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know that it is the army of the Great Han?" ”
"Yes, it was Himiko who said that she had formed an alliance with the Great Han, and the Great Han would soon send troops to help......"
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" The furious Himi Gonghu immediately grabbed Ampe-san's collar and asked sharply.
"Ahem....... I didn't believe her at all, otherwise I wouldn't have ...... Relax, king, I'm about to be strangled, now is not the time for you to dispose of me, at least let the Han army retreat......"
"Do you have a way to get the big man to retire?" Himi's eyes lit up, his hand eased, and he hurriedly asked. (To be continued......)
