Among the most sheep in the livestock, with them is very slow to drag the team, Henan County can not raise these many sheep, after entering the grassland, the food of the Dangkou army is mainly mutton.
The looted things were not distressed, and after setting up camp, the soldiers and Bai Bo Jīng Zhuang began to slaughter the sheep on a large scale, and the men began to make food.
Duohu and other newly captured Hun women were all gathered together, and some children, large and small, accompanied by their mothers, watching the sheep that belonged to their own family were cut throats one by one and skinned, and they should soon be filled into the bellies of these wicked people who crashed into their homes.
In the Chinese military tent, there is a concise conversation at this time.
"Captain, do you treat the prisoners as they are?"
"Well, do it!"
After receiving Xu Huang's affirmative reply, Che Huang led the guards to immediately rush out and put out the half-grown boys one by one in the pile of Hun women.
They don't even spare their children!
This has happened to the Hun women captured by other tribes before, they naturally know what is going to happen, but people are swordsmen, and they can only watch gloomily at this time, and the women and others around Hu Duo began to panic, and the mothers screamed, using their bodies to protect their children, but the thin arms could not twist the thick thighs, and a group of wolf-like soldiers pounced on them, except for those who looked really young, the half-grown boys were robbed.
At the time of the battle just now, the few adult men left in the tribe had already been slaughtered, and at this time, nearly twenty Xiongnu boys were brought out, the youngest was only seven or eight years old, and the eldest was twelve or thirteen years old.
The newly rescued male and female Han slaves also gathered around, watching the actions of their fellow clans with curiosity.
A soldier pulled an ox cart from the baggage pile, and lifted a Hun boy about ten years old on the side, the boy screamed and punched and kicked, but it was useless, and was put on the side of the wheel of the ox cart by the pawn for comparison.
The wheel was four feet tall, but the little boy was half a head taller, and the soldier smiled "hehe", lifted the boy to the sidelines, pulled out his waist knife, and slashed through the air, blood gushing into the air...... The little head flew up immediately.
"Ahh
The women and the rest of the children, their eyes widened, and they screamed together, and the slaves were also taken aback.
This army is so fierce!
"I heard you all!" I don't know when, a middle-aged man has walked into the hall and said in the Hun dialect: "The Huns plundered and killed as many Han people as possible, and the Han people are enemies. ”
The middle-aged man's words were still a little stiff, and while thinking about it, he said that he was also a Han slave rescued from the hands of the Huns, and he knew some words, and he was a slave in a foreign race for several years, and he learned to speak the Xiongnu language.
As for how to deal with the captured Huns, Xu Huang discussed with Che Huang, Han Hao, Zhou Yi, and Jia Kui that women could be brought back to Henan County to be slaves to the people's families, or they could be rewarded to the soldiers below, but the strong men could not stay. As for these half-grown boys, Che Xiao, Han Hao, and Zhou Yi suggested cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but Jia Kui was a little unbearable and tried to have a fight, but in the end, Xu Huang concluded that with the wheel as the boundary, the wheel height above will die, and the below will live!
Knowing that life and death depend on their height, when the soldiers went to grab the boy to compare the wheels, their screams were a little louder, and the mothers in the distance tried to pounce on them, but they were stopped by the guards with a whip.
The middle-aged man in the field smiled "hehe", and then said to the mothers among the women in his stiff Hun language: "If you want to prevent the child from being higher than the wheel, it will be done!" Just point out the tribe that can reach from this place, and point out one free of one! But you have to do it early, if you compare it with the wheel, it's useless to talk about it! ”
"Phew! Does the Huns have men who are afraid of death? Not wanting to be underestimated by these Han slaves, a big boy whose face was obviously higher than the wheels was full of disdain, and said angrily: "Although I am young, I don't want to live!" ”
"You want to die, there are people who want to live, if it is not for people to show the way, how can we find this place?"
The herdsmen are very good at riding, besieging and killing the Xiongnu tribe on the grassland can not guarantee that there is no fish that slips through the net, the news of the slaughter of the Xiongnu tribe has spread, if it is not for the winter migration risk is too great, there will be a guide to lead the way, when they arrive at the surrounding tribe station, maybe the other party has moved, it is better to spread the scout to explore the horse, to disperse the effect of dispersion. Xu Huang didn't care too much about whether there was a guide or not, the stubborn children could meet a few almost every time, and the military officials in the field didn't care, after speaking to him, he gestured to the soldiers, and someone proposed it, compared it on the wheel, and cut off the head with a knife.
This is not just a personal feud, but also a family hatred, Deng Ji rescued from the Huns from the broken family, many of them married soldiers, this expedition, a few have to tell them to kill more dogs, but no one will be soft!
In this world, the law of the jungle eats the strong, although it has long understood the fate of the loser, but it will only be known when this day comes to him, and the soldiers killed two children in a row without blinking, and immediately caused the women to shout and scream.
But no matter how they behaved, one by one the boys were pulled to the height of the wheels, the short ones were let go back to their mothers, and the tall ones were all slashed, and there was not a word of nonsense.
The height of her own child is very clear when she is a mother, but who has nothing to do to compare the wheel?
Only two of the youngest children were less than the height of the wheel, and the rest were mostly killed, and no mother was confident that her son would escape.
There are many Xiongnu tribes, and the internal is not monolithic, just five years ago, there was a great infighting, many tribes were completely wiped out and annexed, and there were many tribes who hated each other, when a child was pulled to the wheel and cried out to his mother for help, her mother finally couldn't bear it, and shouted out a tribe in the northwest that still needed to be seven or eight miles away.
As long as the Xiongnu became enemies with each other, they would always confess to each other in the end, and the soldiers would not be too far away, and the Xiongnu military officer took a pen to record the woman's description of the direction and distance, and then told that if the army could not find the tribe she said in its place, her child would also not be able to escape after death, and finally fulfilled his promise to let the child go back to her.
With the beginning, the hearts of the people in the back become lively, and after the remaining mothers of the children knew that they could betray the hostile tribes, they all tried to recall the tribes that they had heard the men talk about, and they had to hurry, because if others said it, it would be invalid.
In the end, some tribes that had no enemies were also recruited.
This time he got a little more information from the Hun women than before, but the small fight was just to practice the riding skills of the Bai Bo Jīng Zhuang, Xu Huang didn't care much about this, and when Che Huang returned to the Chinese military tent, he was looking over and over in front of a sheepskin earth mother.
The map was rough and sketchy, in fact, it had already been imprinted in his mind, but Xu Huang still looked at it very carefully.
Winter had arrived, and he had to find a place to shelter from the cold wind on the grassland for these tens of thousands of horses.
This is the territory of Shangjun, before handing over to the Southern Xiongnu, the two Han Dynasty also did not have a few county towns here, and now it is not abandoned, temporarily lived by the Huns, and occasionally even had good friends with the merchants to patronize.
As long as the city is captured and guarded by Bai Bo Jīng, the old and weak, Hun women, and livestock can be regarded as a place to settle, and the cavalry can take the city as the center and divide and encroach on the surrounding tribes.
Judging from the information obtained, the closest to the Dangkou army is Baitu City in the north, followed by Qiuzi in the west, which is only seven or eight rì away, and the Shangjun Zhizhi is not far away.
At this time, Xu Huang was making a trade-off in the three cities.
In terms of the richness of the benefits obtained after the war, the city is the best, but its land is the county, the city must be high and strong, it is said that the master of the city is the king of Xiqi of the Huns, and there are still more than the Huns riding under his hands.
Counting the pawns selected from Bai Bo, the Dangkou army now has only more than three cadres, but it can't withstand any big toss, even if Bai Bo is strong, Xu Huang is reluctant to consume too much.
Jia Kui squinted and sat next to him, he had envied the army since he was a child, and he had also studied soldiers, but after talking for a few years, Xu Huang thought that he was more capable of learning and governing politics, and he was only willing to let him be a military clerk first.
"Hasn't the captain made up his mind yet?"
Che Huang entered the account, and he was silent, and it had been silent for a long time, and Jia Kui finally couldn't help but ask.
Xu Huang sighed helplessly: "Alas! It seems that it is not administerable! ”
"I heard that the two cities of Baitu Guizi can fight against the Huns, and they are not satisfied with a hundred ......", Jia Kui comforted: "If the two cities are taken together, it is not much worse than skin Shi!" ”
Xu Huang shook his head: "I have already asked that although Baitu and Qiuzi are easy to take, they are only five or six hundred Hun households, but there are more than three households in Fushi City, and there are often Han merchants here, which cannot be compared!" ”
Jia Kui didn't have a plan, but Che Huang interjected: "Why not outwit?" ”
"I'm also outwitted, so I can't think about it!" Xu Huang glanced at his boss and asked, "Could it be that you have a plan?" ”
The Dangkou army wiped out more than ten small tribes of the Huns, and the king of Xiqi in the city of Fushi must have known that it is difficult to accompany the Han merchants, there is no shelter on the grassland, and it is not easy to ambush, and he and Han Hao, Zhou Yi, and Jia Kui can't think of any good plans, can he, a rough man, have a son?
Xu Huang just asked casually, but Che Huangluo only hesitated slightly, and then replied: "I often hear that the Huns are heavy warriors, and they are brave and brave, and we will wait to attack, if there are not many soldiers, they may not be willing to defend in the city, or they can be provoked to fight!" ”
This remark was absolutely unexpected, seeing Xu Huang suddenly looking at him in a daze, Che Huang smiled bitterly: "Captain don't need to be surprised, I just pushed myself and the other because of Chang Shan's defeat!" ”
