Volume 6 Chase the Deer Chapter 517 Raid
Han Sui, who had figured it out, admired Yan Zhong so much that he immediately reorganized the banquet, invited Yan Zhong to take a seat, and after a long talk, he personally ran to Xiahou Yuan's camp, and Xiahou Yuan reviewed the good times in the past affectionately, and finally said, I want to escort the general back to Ji County, and those Jing Rui soldiers under my command are not needed, it is better to let them follow you to make some contributions, and it is not in vain.

Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed, he was worried that his descendants were not strong enough, and he was afraid that he would not be able to eat Zhong Wu in one bite, so of course he couldn't ask for Han Sui's initiative to show goodwill. Most of Han Sui's subordinates are from Jincheng, they are familiar with the terrain here, and they are also good at this kind of combat method, so they can use it.
The division of labor has been decided, and it will be implemented immediately. Han then placed the motionless Liu Xiu in a baggage truck and sent him back to Ji County. In order to be fast, Liu Xiujun's army rode all the civilian personnel, and there were only carts in the army that pulled heavy baggage. At the moment he could not ride a horse, so he could only put him on a cart converted from a baggage cart.
After Yan Zhong and Han Sui escorted Liu Xiu back to Ji County, Xiahou Yuan was the main general and continued to move forward with more than 10,000 troops, but considering that the news may have leaked, and the plan to wait for Jia Long to launch an attack before attacking can no longer be implemented, Xiahou Yuan decided to launch an attack in advance and immediately rushed to the Great and Small Elm Valley.
Fifty miles ahead of him, June Thunder was triumphantly moving forward. He couldn't see the scene of the assassination halfway up the mountain, but he saw the departure of the Han army, and judging from the speed at which they left, he felt that the assassination should have been successful. Although he didn't see anything but a pool of blood next to the hot springs later, he was still very confident in the big guy.
He had seen the martial arts of the Great Servant, and knew what kind of terrifying power this man had after fifty years of hard training, a warrior from his youth. He followed it for a while, but he didn't see the big guy, and he didn't know if the big guy was dead or escaped. After waiting for two days in Tang Shushan, he didn't see the big guy again, nor did he see the Han army coming again, and he estimated that Xiahou Yuan was more than lucky. Only then did he swagger back to the Big and Small Elm Valley.
Just as he was guessing what Xiahou Yuan's expression would be when he faced the iron claws of the big guy, he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him. June Thunder was taken aback, immediately jumped off his horse and put his ear to the cold ground to listen. Hearing this, he was frightened. From the sound of horses' hooves, it can be estimated that there are at least 3,000 cavalry galloping behind.
The Han army is back? June Thunder thought about it, and then denied the idea. This day is frozen, the valley is full of ice and snow, and the only people who dare to gallop so quickly are the Qiang people, when did the Han people have such riding skills? He wasn't at ease. With the entourage hidden on the side of the cliff, not long, a team of Han soldiers whistling with battle flags, they quickly passed the position of June Thunder just now, several knights from the avenue Pegasus galloped onto the side road, and soon found June Thunder and others hidden in the mountain recess of the war horse, they did not hesitate to take away the war horse and the bags on the horse's back.
June Thunder almost screamed, but he looked at the Han knights at the end of the line, who were obviously on guard. Or keep their mouths shut, if the other party finds out where they are hiding, the hundred and ten of them will die.
But. This is not much better, there are no horses, no food, and it is not easy for them to walk more than 150 miles of mountain roads back to the Great and Small Elm Valley.
After the Han army disappeared into the valley, June was so angry that he scolded, but he immediately closed his mouth again, and it didn't take long for 10,000 Jing horses to rumble through the valley again, and it was Xiahou Yuan's black dragon battle flag fluttering in the wind.
June thunder was taken aback, and the big guy didn't succeed? Look at Xiahou Yuan's murderous look. He went to the Great Elm Valley to take revenge. June Thunder was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but he didn't have the ability to rush down like this, watching Xiahou Yuan also disappear into the valley in front of him, June Thunder Yu cried without tears.
Zhong Wu is dead, Zhong Wu, who was drinking in the winter field, definitely didn't expect the Han army to kill him at such a speed and with such might. The combat effectiveness of the Han army was already stronger than that of the Qiang people. Now that Xiahou Yuan has just been assassinated and enraged, how can Zhong Wu still have a way to live. He thought about it, Suo Xing didn't go to Yugu anymore, he took people over the mountains and mountains, and escaped.
Although the June Thunderbolt is not entirely true, the general situation is similar. Xiahou Yuan is indeed very murderous now, and he also knows that the possibility of waiting for Jia Long to take the lead in attacking is not very large, and the only way at the moment is to hit Zhong Wu with lightning speed, and severely damage Zhong Wu in the first attack, eliminate his living force, and crush his possible counterattack. Therefore, despite Fu Xie's opposition, he ordered the whole army to march quickly, paid the price of falling to death and injuring thousands of horses, and walked more than 150 miles of mountain roads in only one day.
When more than 13,000 Han soldiers appeared in the Great and Small Elm Valleys, and when the Qiang scouts rushed into Zhongwu's big tent, the Qiang people were still immersed in the joy of the upcoming New Year, and no one realized that a killing was just around the corner.
Xiahou Yuan looked at the endless tents in the river valley in the distance, slowly pulled out his war knife, and pointed diagonally forward.
"Pass my general order, leave no live mouth, no chickens and dogs! Kill all the Qiang people and drink with all the kings! Kill! ”
At the sound of an order, the iron cavalry of the Han army turned into a torrent of steel and poured into the tents in the river valley, they let their horses gallop, although they had been running for a day and a night, but in the face of the unprepared Qiang people, their fighting spirit was high, and their morale was high. Kill, kill all these Qiang people, drink their wine, eat their cattle and sheep, sleep in their tents, and feast on their women!
"Kill-" Xiahou Yuan raised his sword and shouted, kicking the war horse with his legs hard, squeezing out the last trace of strength of the war horse. The war horse spewed out clouds of white mist, and its four hooves soared into the air, galloping wildly on the river valley that had been cleaned by the Qiang people.
A few Qiang people who were alarmed by the sound of horses' hooves had just run out of their tents, and some were so frightened that they turned around and ran away when they saw all this, some were so frightened that they turned around and ran, but before they could run a few steps, the galloping horses swept past them, and the sharp knives slashed out a series of deadly lightning bolts, splitting their sheepskin jackets and tearing their flesh and bones. The strong horses knocked them to the ground, and the heavy hooves of the horses trampled on them, crushing their bones to pieces.
The screams, the cries, spread like a plague and rippled throughout the valley with the rapid advance of the Han army's war horses. The Han army brandished his war sword, kicked and beat the war horse without mercy, and rushed forward as fast as he could, knocking everyone in sight to the ground and cutting him to the ground.
One by one the Qiang people were cut down, one tent after another was knocked over by war horses, and the helpless Qiang people were crying and screaming.
The soldiers of the Han army turned a blind eye and entered! Kill!
Zhong Wu pushed away the half-naked Qiang girl, rushed out of the big tent, and looked at the Han army's iron cavalry burning like wildfire in the distance, he was so frightened that the silver cup in his hand fell to the ground, and the wine was scattered all over the ground.
"Retreat-" After a moment of dead silence, Zhong Wu suddenly came back to his senses, the other party came too suddenly, he was not prepared at all, this battle has been lost, now it depends on how many people can escape. He turned and ran to his horse, screaming in a shrill voice as he ran, and his guards poured out of their tents, so frightened by what they saw that they could not raise a single ounce of fighting spirit. Without Zhong Wu's beckoning, they untied the horses tied to the big tent one after another, turned their horses' heads, and galloped wildly into the distance. Many people who came out late did not understand what was going on, and they knocked them to the ground and trampled under their feet.
Zhong Wu left without a fight, and the chaotic Qiang people were even more demoralized, they didn't care too much, they went to grab war horses, and they didn't care about what weapons and baggage they brought, and it was the biggest victory to escape from the battlefield.
As soon as the war began, the situation was indisputably one-sided, and the biggest obstacles for the Han army were the fleeing Qiang and the tents with no end in sight.
The quiet river valley became a killing ground.
Halfway through the killing, Xiahou Yuan found that the victory was decided, and in the distance, Zhong Wu's banner was withdrawing at a faster and faster speed, but his main force was blocked by the chaotic Qiang people, and he could no longer speed up, and his heart was in a hurry. While he ordered to speed up the impact, he approached Xun You, who was swinging his knife and slashing. The battlefield was full of people, and he could only shout loudly: "Gongda-"
Xun You cut down an old man of Qiang people to the ground with a knife, his heart trembled, and he happened to hear Xiahou Yuan's shout, and quickly turned his head in response, and also roared loudly: "What's the matter?" ”
"I'll chase Zhongwu, I'll leave it to you here!" Xiahou Yuan's bloody battle knife pointed ahead, and then pointed to his battle flag: "This is under your command!" ”
Xun You was startled, shook his head again and again, and shouted: "Miaocai, our victory is decided, you can't take risks!" ”
"Nope! I'm going to kill them all! Xiahou Yuan shouted while pulling the war horse outward: "If you don't kill Zhong Wu, the chaos is endless, I must kill him, I'd rather die!" As he spoke, he motioned to the flag bearer to move closer to Xun You, and gradually separated from the battlefield with his personal guard horse, and rushed forward along the river where the crowd was relatively loose.
Xun You was taken aback, he roughly guessed what Xiahou Yuan meant. There was an accident in this operation because of him, if Zhong Wu was allowed to escape, the possibility of expecting Jia Long to intercept Zhong Wu was too small, Xiahou Yuan decided to gamble with his own life on Zhong Wu's life.
He didn't agree with Xiahou Yuan's decision, but Xiahou Yuan had already left the main battlefield, and he ran away with his guards until only his back was left, and he couldn't call it back even if he wanted to. Thinking that Liu Xiu was still unconscious and his future was uncertain, Xun You, who had always been relatively calm, was also nameless, he raised his war horse and roared sharply: "Speed up!" Hasten! ”
The herald beat the small drum he carried with him, and the passionate war drums echoed in the valley again, and the soldiers of the Han army, who had been killing heartily, heard the drums, and shouted in unison: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
The earth shakes the mountains, and the wind and clouds change!!!
