Chapter 111: The Last Battle
At this time, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu quickly rushed out of Hangu Pass with his elite cavalry, and rushed to the opposite Li Yujun at a lightning speed;
"Look? What's on the other side? A soldier of Li Yujun looked at the opposite side and shouted
"It's cavalry!! It's cavalry!! Run," many of the soldiers shouted frantically when they saw the cavalry running closer and closer on the opposite side;
In fact, the number of cavalry of the Marquis of Subu Gudu is very small, even if the weapons and equipment are advanced and the cavalry is cavalry, as long as the infantry on the opposite side forms a formation, even if the cavalry cannot be killed, it can be advantageously defended and reduce losses, but this is all ideal;
For the soldiers of Li Yu, whose morale is extremely low now, they don't have that mind at all, all they want is to run away by themselves, although they can't outrun the cavalry until the infantry can't outrun the cavalry, but they still have to run, at least they have to run past their companions;
To the great surprise of the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, when Li Yu's army on the opposite side saw the cavalry on his side, it was like seeing the king of Hades, and there was no one to resist, they all spread their legs and ran back desperately;
The Marquis of the Bones of the Beard was no longer polite, and rushed back and forth with his subordinates to kill the slower soldiers, and did not chase forward with all his might, just like a cat and a mouse, covering and killing the soldiers on the opposite side;
"Don't waste your arrows on me, shoot them at the people who look like the generals on the other side, they have a lot of money on them," shouted the Marquis of the Bones to his men;
In the Han Dynasty, especially in the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when human lives were regarded as grass and mustard, many low-level soldiers and low-level generals carried the little property with them, because they could not guarantee that their money would not be plundered by the local government under various names;
Moreover, most of them are single, and no woman in this era wants to marry a low-ranking officer who will die at any time, let alone a non-commissioned officer, which is why the Marquis of Subu Bone wants to come out and kill the enemy;
In this way, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu led these 500 cavalry back and forth for nearly an hour to attack like a play, which frightened the rear army of Li Yu's army on the opposite side, and could not run again, and could not organize an effective attack when fighting;
Even if once or twice a few troops seemed to organize an attack, they were quickly shot and killed by the cavalry of the Marquis of Subu and declared defeat, and the rest continued to run like headless flies;
In just one hour, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu and his subordinates had already filled the pots and bowls on their bodies, you must know that the copper coins of this era are also quite heavy, and the average soldier of this era usually only carries a small amount of copper coins, so it is not obvious;
Even if there were some low-level officers, they didn't actually have many copper coins on them, but at this time, the Beard Bone Duhou and others had so many copper coins on their bodies that the horses felt overwhelmed;
At this time, the Marquis of Subu Bone immediately ordered
"Haha, warriors of the witch god, the shaman of the witch god bless us with a full load"
The Marquis of the Bones shouted with great joy and withdrew to Hangu Pass with his subordinates carrying the tinkling copper coins all over his body, less than an hour before and after;
In the army of the Huns, it is not like the Han army to pay military salaries in peacetime, although the Han army often has a break or deduction of food and salary, but there are still there after all, and the Hun army is completely robbed, in the words of later generations, there is no basic salary, completely depends on commissions.

It was after the Marquis of the Bones of the Beard took refuge in Liu Braid, and the Beard gave the Marquis of the Bones a lot of money and supplies, and the Marquis of the Bones of the Bones did not share it with his subordinates, but only gave him some food that was usually enough to eat, and the Marquis of the Bones of the Bones felt that in this way he could keep his army hungry enough and exude their wildness when they saw their prey;
You may think that this is too harsh on the soldiers, but it is only such a system that makes the war cost of the nomads in the north very low, and the willingness to war is very high, because their bottom and top are willing to fight, and if they don't fight, they don't have anything to eat or drink;
In ancient times, it was not that you had to be beaten if you were backward, but on the contrary, the more advanced you were, the more you were beaten, and the more advanced you were, the higher the cost of your war, and the lower your willingness to war, which is why the huge Central Plains people were always chased and beaten by nomads, not only in Asia, but also in Europe;
After the Marquis of Xubu Gudu and the others returned to Hangu Pass very happily, Liu Bei's side had just reorganized his troops, after all, the speed of tens of thousands of people and hundreds of people was completely incomparable, but at this time, the front army of Li Yu's army on the opposite side still did not clear the road, and was forced to be blocked in front of Hangu Pass as cannon fodder;
Finally, Li Yu couldn't stand the reality that the road ahead had never been cleared, and he heard from the scout that a small group of cavalry had just swept through his own army, which made Li Yu, who had been chasing others in the past, quite unbearable, and really didn't expect that one day he would fall into this step;
Soon the scouts came to report that an army of more than 10,000 people had been dispatched to attack their side in the city of Hanguguan on the opposite side, and there was a big banner with the word "Liu" on it.
Now in the future, think you're at the end of your rope? He still has 100,000 troops in his hands, if the other party can't hold out, he can't stand it without military food on his side, and now it's good, the other party dares to send only 10,000 troops to attack, Li Yu remembered Xiang Yu's previous battle in Julu, and felt that it was very similar to his own situation, and the back road was blocked;
But what Li Yu didn't expect was that Xiang Yu took the initiative to block the back road at that time, but now he is blocked by friendly forces;
As long as he can attack Hangu Pass, his army will have food, and the problem will be solved.
