In the same year, Guo Tai led the white wave thieves to fight in Hedong, Dong Zhuo sent Li Dao to fight, Guo Tai died in the battle array, and Yang Feng surrendered to Li Dao, Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai and others scattered to attack, and the Hedong chaos has not yet been settled.
Hedong was still in turmoil, and the party was not much better, and in mid-November, the news of Ma Pi waiting for the scouts to return quickly caused an uproar among the generals under Deng Ji's command.
Hanoi, Henan two counties have no officers and soldiers stationed, whether it is Dong Zhuo or the Kwantung heroes are unable to take care of these two places, after Yu Fu Luo occupied the party, the two counties have been open under the Xiongnu iron cavalry, scattered south to plunder the population and property of the Xiongnu tribes have returned, the first has returned to the eldest son, according to the horse skin survey report, these tall, very white-skinned, high-nosed and bearded aliens returned to the team, the horse side hung the head of the man, but also captured a large number of women, craftsmen, officials and scholars, all tied to the back of the war horse with ropes, accompanying vehicles, countless moneyWhen they set up camp at night, the camp was filled with screams and the miserable screams of women.
The court was weakened, the princes had different intentions, and the foreigners took the opportunity to harm their own kind, hearing the news, not only Han Qi, Tai Shici and others were angry, but also the old thieves such as Che Huang also asked Deng Ji to send troops to rob and kill.
In the snowflakes in the sky, when it was reported that another team of more than 500 Huns had taken captives and plundered, and had passed through the city of Hun's family to the eldest son, Deng Ji ordered Tian Mazi to lead the auxiliary soldiers to guard the Huguan, and led more than 1,000 brave soldiers to brave the snow out of the Huguan to rush to kill.
The captive population will be the slaves of their own tribes, craftsmen, officials and scholars tribes are of great use, and the Han women have soft and delicate skin, and soft temperament, which is the best tool to vent desires, to take into account the prisoners and property behind the war horses, the Hun cavalry is not fast, and Deng Ji led his troops to intercept it easily halfway.
In the snowstorm, Deng Ji saw that these Hun cavalry were taller than the Han Chinese, and from a distance, most of them were yellow-bearded and blue-eyed, and their appearance was clearly the white race they had seen on TV in their previous lives.
The Hun cavalry also had armor on their bodies, and their saddles were all hung with longbows, in addition to this weapon, there were also ge, spears, and relatively rare long axes and meteor hammers.
Far away, the captives of the Hun cavalry could not see very clearly.
A string of meat balls hung on both sides of each war horse, I don't know what they brought back to do, and after identifying those flesh-red balls as human heads, Deng Ji was already furious.
These heads were taken from the bodies of their own people!
"Kill!"
There are no superfluous words, the command is only one word!
The Hun cavalry reacted quickly, and when they found Deng Ji's team, they immediately waved their knives to cut the ropes attached to the captives behind their horses, and greeted them as a whole.
Deng Ji's troops were twice as numerous as him, and they could fight much more with the Han army, and the Hun cavalry was not afraid, and the two teams of cavalry almost simultaneously let go of their horses, stepping on the snow to meet each other's gallop past.
The Huns grew up on horseback, almost every man can bend the bow and shoot arrows, the bow they use is different from the Han people, there are six feet long, in order to facilitate riding and shooting on the horse, the upper bow arm and the lower bow arm are of different lengths, look asymmetrical, the upper bow arm is slightly longer, at this time in the upper wind, on the wind, the range is advantageous, the two armies are getting closer and closer, and they are the first to shoot.
The wind and snow were very strong, and the arrows were not accurate at all, and the brave soldiers subconsciously bowed their heads to the front door, and only two unlucky mounts were injured, and the horses threw the knights into the snow.
Getting closer, Wu Ning opened the two stone bows with his frozen stiff hands, leaned towards the sky, and sent the arrows out of his hand at the moment when the war horse under his crotch rose into the air.
Last year, he brought back a lot of crossbows from the eldest son city, and the archers had more practice items in their daily lives, and Wu Ning had one in his waist, but it was not available at this time.
Horse movement and uneven ground can cause bumps in the archer and affect the accuracy of the horse, which is minimized when the mount is on all fours.
For the archers who rode and arched and the strongmen with two-handed halberds, the requirements for riding were higher than those of the rest of the soldiers, and the reins could not be taken into account when firing the bow and the halberd, which would have been more difficult to do without the stirrups.
After following his own thief brother-in-law, he has experienced a lot of fighting, but he is not more leisurely than when he was hunting and playing as a son before, he has practiced again, archery and riding skills have improved, but the accuracy of the back ** is not as good as flat shooting, and there is the influence of wind and snow, this arrow did fall into the Hun cavalry team, but it was unlucky, and finally fell on the hind hip of a war horse.
Lazy Gu and others also bent the bow against the wind and snowflakes to fight back, after a wave, there was no Hun on the opposite side fell off the horse, and then it was hand-to-hand combat, the archers left the brigade, and rode their horses to the edge to bypass.
The Huns had also hung their longbows back on their horses' backs, and were ready to fight with their long weapons.
"Halberd!"
Before the battle melee to throw a small halberd to hurt the enemy is already unique to Deng Jijun, after Deng Ji shouted loudly, the Huns might as well shoot the dark weapon all over the sky, and suddenly suffered a big loss, there are nearly 100 people and horses in the move, for a while people turn over on their backs, the team is chaotic, and the horses with superb riding skills are busy to avoid the horse.
Just an instant later, Deng Ji's iron cavalry had crashed into it, Dian Wei and Che Huang rushed to the front, wielding the iron halberd for a while, killing several horses, and the brave soldiers who followed behind relied on the stirrups to cheapen, and the halberd did not stab the enemy, and dragged it off the horse with a crescent hook, and in the cavalry fight, it would soon be trampled into meat by the war horse.
Tai Shi Ci led the tun down to the flank, his marksmanship is deep in the essence of the word "fast", every time he withdraws, the head of the gun can drink blood, and there are always enemies who howl and fall.
The Huns were not powerless to fight back, and in terms of riding skills and skill, they were much better than the brave soldiers, and they fought back fiercely.
During the fighting, from time to time, people fell off their horses, and the soil, snow, and blood soon made the land colorful.
In the recent battle array, Deng Ji has rarely personally participated in the fight, at this time dozens of Huns rode desperately to his banner to pounce, Guo Shi was busy leading Xie Yun and other personal guards to resist to the death, in the chaos, Deng Ji was also entangled with a horse, several halberd assassinations were flexibly avoided by that guy on horseback, and finally took advantage of the weapon, hooked it down, and then put the horse to step on it.
When the two teams of cavalry were lost in the wind and snow, the Huns only had dozens of horsemen left, and nearly 100 brave soldiers under Deng Ji were killed.
It is still this result that his own family has taken a lot of advantages, and Deng Ji can't help but be shocked, the combat power of the Huns should not be underestimated!
Lazy Gu and Wu Ning led the archers to come back quickly, and the remaining Huns were shot indiscriminately, Deng Ji and others beat the horses and then killed back, and the remaining Hun horsemen looked at Deng Ji and the group of prisoners behind, and fled north.
"You don't have to chase the enemy, just escort the refugees back to Huguan!"
The Huns have superb riding skills, and their own families will not be able to catch up, if they are led by these dozens of remnants of the Huns in the city of the eldest son, their own family can not be beaten, Deng Ji hurriedly stopped the people and horses, and turned his head and drank: "Xie Yun, go to the horse skin, give Lao Tzu an eye on the eldest son city, if the Hun brigade in it goes out of the city, report quickly!" ”
After Xie Yun went, Deng Ji and the others went to take care of the group of prisoners who were rescued, all tied in strings on ropes, there were more than 3,000 people, less than 100 craftsmen, officials and soldiers, and the rest were all women, all of them were covered with snow, but they could still see that the clothes were messy, and where there was no snow, they could see the blood stains and mud stained with it, and they were shivering in the wind and snow at this time, the youngest was only twelve or thirteen years old, and his face was still full of immaturity.
The Huns captive the population is not like the moth thieves who coerce the people even the old and weak, they will cut down the people who think they are useless, and bring the heads back to worship the gods, these captives are all from a family that is broken in an instant, after untying the ropes on their bodies, only a few people are crying and crying, but most of the people's faces are blank, and they are not happy after being rescued.
A young girl pulled out a fist-sized stone from the snow, faced the wind and snow, and walked towards the battlefield.
In the pile of corpses, a Hun was still panting, and the white mist that erupted from his mouth could be seen from afar, he was trampled on the chest by the war horse, but he had not yet lost his breath.
Stepping on the snow, he would make a "zizi" sound, and when he noticed that someone was approaching him, the Huns tried to open their mouths to say something, but their chest cavity was broken, and they couldn't spit out a word, and he actually forgot that he didn't speak Chinese.
"Bang!"
The girl didn't say anything, but silently raised the stone in her hand and smashed it on the head of the Huns.
The chest cavity was ruptured, and the Huns could not even scream, and the girl still did not speak, and lifted the stone again.
"Bang!"
Second time!
"Bang!"
The third time!
The girl did not cry, make a fuss, or curse, as if the act of smashing the stone on the head was no different from that of her spinning cloth at home, except that she lifted and smashed it mechanically! Lift it up again, smash it down again!
The Huns' big head soon cracked, and the pale yellow brains splattered out, staining the girl's dress and snow, and she had already died thoroughly, but she still ignored it, and smashed the head to pieces one by one.
The roar of the wind, the hunting sound of the banner being blown out, the snort of the war horse steaming in the snowflakes, the coughing and cries of the wounded, the cry of the woman, and the cursing sound, at this time Deng Ji seemed to be unable to hear it, only the sound of "bang!" Bang! "Ring!
Under the snowstorm, the image of a snow-covered girl holding a stone and smashing a corpse on the ground has been frozen in my mind forever!
Influenced by the girl, more women groped for stones in the snow, but when they finally found it, there was no longer any living mouth in the pile of Hun corpses, and they could only destroy the corpses when they stepped forward.
