The warm afternoon sun shone on the ground, and several slave soldiers lazily leaned against the city wall, quietly enjoying the comfortable sunshine.

A Xianbei soldier didn't care when he saw this, after all, he was a slave! It's normal not to be self-motivated, so why be self-motivated?

Even if you are self-motivated, you are also a slave, and it is impossible for even a small captain to let a slave serve as a slave, so self-motivation is the most useless thing for a slave.

This is the Xianbei city closest to the grassland, because the grassland is also the world of Xianbei, so these soldiers are not vigilant.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves roaring in the distance, but even so, these soldiers didn't care, there was no shortage of horses on the grassland!

Even the poorest grassland herdsmen have their own horses, which would have been nervous when they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the Han Dynasty, because horses were controlled items in the Han Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty at this time was not as strict as the management of horses in the early Han Dynasty.

However, it is limited to the horses of those families, or a very small number of mounts, and the number cannot be too many.

However, this did not apply in Xianbei, but when the thousands of Xianbei cavalry who seemed to be defeated, and the tens of thousands of Han cavalry behind them, appeared in the eyes of the soldiers defending the city, these soldiers finally reacted.

Unfortunately, instead of taking up their arms and preparing for battle, they hurriedly dropped their weapons and ran into the gates, which would have been right to be closed and closed, but as soon as the soldiers entered the city they scattered and fled, ignoring the gates that were wide open.

Murong, the Xianbei King who was fleeing, saw that his face turned green, and he gritted his teeth and thought, "When this king returns to the royal city, he will definitely kill the defenders of this city." ”

But there was a scream from time to time behind him. But it brought Murong back to reality. At this time, there were still pursuers of the Han army behind him. Escaping is the best choice at this time, and as for the rest, let's wait for the famous to live!

The Han army not far behind Murong was shouting and chasing, they seemed to be hunting at this time, and they didn't care that the thousands of people in front of them also had swords, bows and arrows.

Huang Zhong rushed to the front, bent his bow and arrows, and shot a Xianbei general in front. The rest of the Han army also took out their crossbows one after another and shot indiscriminately.

Riding and shooting? Barely count! As for the accuracy of this crossbow arrow, it is no longer in the consideration of these Han troops, but they do this to the suffering of the transport troops behind.

If it weren't for the war horses left by the Xianbei people, I'm afraid that the general who was responsible for supplying Huang Zhong, the cavalry legion, would have died of sorrow, after all, the speed of the cavalry was much faster than the foot soldiers in this vast grassland.

The generals in charge of supply also saw that these cavalry did not need food very much, and what they needed most was crossbow arrows, because food could eat the Xianbei war horses that were shot to death, or slaughter the small tribes along the way. For the sake of military merit, these cavalrymen have gone crazy.

From the north of Youzhou to the territory of Xianbei. For more than a thousand miles, these cavalry did not feel tired at all, and if they could not adapt to it, they would stay with the supply troops, and they could also protect the grain route.

So that the Han army, which is still pursuing, is only 25,000 people, and these 25,000 people seem to plan to learn from the champion Hou Huo to go to the disease - across the grassland.

It seems that they have done it, because Xianbei has its own city, it can barely be regarded as forming its own country, so that the Xianbei herdsmen on the grassland also gather here.

The rest of the tribes did not dare to provoke the Han army, which was now in full swing, and those tribes who dared to do it, Huang Zhong's 25,000 people were too lazy to do anything if they were not without food, and they were all solved by the cavalry that followed the supply troops.

More than 1,000 miles of grassland, I don't know how many tribes have been slaughtered, anyway, the 50,000 supply troops originally sent have to be transported back more than ten times in advance.

Entering the city, King Xianbei was not happy at all, because the Han army also arrived at the gate of the city, and Murong wanted to cry and continue to ride his horse and gallop wildly.

Huang Zhong shouted, "The last 2,000 people who entered the city stayed, and the rest followed after someone!" ”

"Drink!"

The Han army in the advanced city shouted loudly, and then happily pursued.

The Han army that entered the city depressedly began to take over the city defense, this border city turned out to be only 500 defenders, of which only 10 were Xianbei people, the Han army just entered the city these people fled in all directions, the Han army effortlessly occupied this border city.

If Liu Hong was here, he would definitely feel that this scene was very familiar, because the invasion of China by the Japanese Kingdom in later generations was also the same, and several devils occupied the city with hundreds of puppet troops, and no one dared to resist.

When Liu Hong got Huang Zhong's battle report, he was shocked, Huang Zhong's cavalry was so powerful that he occupied five cities, fortunately, Huang Zhong was not a brave and unscrupulous person, and after being blocked in Nenjiangxi, he did not attack, but returned to occupy five cities west of Nenjiang, waiting for the arrival of Liu Hong's army.

Liu Hong looked at the map and smiled bitterly: "Wen Heke feels familiar?" ”

Jia Xu also had an indescribable expression on his face, and Xun Yu asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" ”

Liu Hong glanced at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu explained, "Gongda doesn't know, when Xianbei invaded Fuyu Kingdom, Fuyu Kingdom swore to resist to the death, and was still defeated, so it was the five cities west of the Nenjiang River that were lost. ”

At that time, Dong Zhuo, the captain of Nanyue, relied on this Nenjiang River to block the continuous offensive of the Xianbei army, if it were not for the lack of troops, I am afraid that Xianbei would not be able to attack the Nenjiang River. At that time, the Nenjiang River was already frozen, so that the Xianbei army could walk on the ice, but it was only the middle of October, and the Nenjiang River had not yet frozen, and even if it froze, it would not be able to carry people. ”

"This is much more difficult to overcome the natural danger of Nenjiang! At that time, Xianbei was assisted by slave soldiers, and at this time, ......"

Speaking of this, Jia Xu looked at Liu Hong and said, "Your Majesty, this time I just escorted the Xianbei captives back to the dynasty and brought the slave soldiers with me, could it be that the slave soldiers attacked this natural danger?" ”

Although Liu Hong wants to admit it, in order to give people the impression of being scheming, Liu Hong can't be like this, the emperor doesn't need to be resourceful, he just needs to reward and punish clearly, and he can use people.

So Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Wenhe, I originally wanted to use the method of abolishing the slavery system to let these slave soldiers improve their fighting spirit and attack the city for the Han Dynasty, after all, the casualties in the siege battle were too great. ”

Although Liu Hong said so, it made Jia Xu and others admire, Liu Hong himself thought that in order to attack the city, it was not the same thing to attack Nenjiang, but in the eyes of Jia Xu and others, this was a thing.

Liu Hong's words were just self-humility in their eyes, so Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Lu Zhi and others arched their hands and said, "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the ministers admire!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Hong was stunned when he heard this, but fortunately, Liu Hong is not a rookie who has just crossed over, the previous explanation is just that he doesn't want to be a person like Emperor Yang of Sui, all the credit is the emperor's, and all the mistakes are the courtiers, in that case, no matter how loyal the courtiers are, there will be pimples in their hearts.

Liu Hong doesn't want to lose himself, after all, no matter how powerful a person is, there are times when he makes mistakes. (To be continued......)
