Section 1370 Bloody Retreat (2)

The appearance of the Han army immediately made all the Xiongnu departments panic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hu Yan Dangtu led the army, and it took a lot of effort to barely maintain the order, and chaos immediately began to appear.

Many cried and cried, and were pushed and shoved by the people in the back row and fell into the icy and rushing river.

Fishing water is not a docile river.

The Huns also did not have a talent for swimming.

Therefore, in just a short moment, more than 100 people were swept away by the torrent, and several rafts were overturned, and even people and rafts were swept away by the torrent.

What's even more terrifying is that the desire to return home has made many herders restless.

They were pushing around in the crowd.

At this moment, tens of thousands of people and twice as many livestock and horses are crowded on the entire fishing shore, but more than ten miles of river.

It may seem like a long time, but in fact, in the Han Dynasty, one mile was only 300 steps.

The crossing point of the entire river section is actually only a few kilometers when converted.

Don't say that in the war before the Western Era, that is, in the later peacetime, such a dense crowd will cause a stampede if it is not good!

And now?

Although, the Xiongnu nobles and Shan Yuting's army were desperate to maintain order.

However, this simply cannot be done.

The herdsmen, who were anxious to return home, led their horses and livestock, and carried pots and jars on their backs—yes, Juli Lake ordered that all baggage be abandoned.

But what if the next command can be executed?

Is that still the Huns?

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below!

Moreover, the law does not hold the people accountable.

It is a dream to want the herdsmen and small nobles at the bottom of the Xiongnu to give up their goods as their lifeblood!

Although the heads of the various departments were strictly restrained, they also took the lead in discarding many materials.

But few of the people below are willing to cooperate.

If there is, it is in the minority.

Only the Shan Yu Wang Court Headquarters of Juli Lake has effectively fulfilled the requirements.

The other tribes, on the other hand, basically dismissed the order as nonsense - at best, it was just a façade and some of the supplies were abandoned.

Moreover, the smaller the clan, the poorer the clan, the less efficient the execution of this order.

There is no way - the big tribes and Shan Yu's cronies and tribes, descendant tribes, and their own tribes, which are rich and rich, may not be able to look down on these broken copper and iron.

But the other vassals and small and medium-sized tribes had to cherish their precious possessions as much as they cherished the root of their lives.

Although Shan Yu said it, he allowed the big guy to go to the Western Regions to grab enough.

But you have to be able to go!

Besides, Xindan Yu Juli Lake, this has just taken the throne, and the ghost knows if he can return to the grassland alive? Even if he goes back, the devil knows he'll be able to sit in his seat? Even if he sits in his seat, he may break the contract.

But now, these people who carry pots and jars and refuse to let go of death have finally tasted the bitterness.

Because, the people behind him and on the left and right are pushing him.

Countless people wanted to get on the raft as soon as possible and go to the other side to get rid of the threat of the Han Dynasty.

And this immediately caused a catastrophe among the Huns.

Many people have been pushed to the ground by those left and right or behind them, and what they have dragged on their bodies and hands has now become the biggest obstacle to their survival.

Countless people were trampled on in the chaos and screamed.

In some places, there are even groups of people who have been pushed to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Juli Lake knew that he couldn't wait any longer.

"Order the clans to cross the river immediately!" He ordered with a cold face: "If anyone dares to stop me from crossing the river with the Shan Yuting clan, there will be no forgiveness for killing!" ”

Juli Lake knows very well that his only capital now is the main clan of the royal court.

The more than 10,000 elite cavalry, which is no more than 20,000, is the capital for his future life.

It doesn't matter if everyone else is dead, as long as these cavalrymen are there, then after he returns to the grassland, he can re-establish the order of Shan Yuting by recovering the Munan and Makubei clans, at least, he can maintain the rule of the Xiongnu Empire in the Makubei and the Western Regions!

"In addition, the herald ordered the nobles and eagle archers and craftsmen of all tribes to cross the river first, so that the other tribes are ready to block the Han Dynasty cavalry raid!" Juli Lake said.

Let the leader go first, that's for sure.

As for the others? him!

Of course, Juli Lake is also very clear that it is a dream to let these people resist the Han Dynasty!

I'm afraid that the moment of contact, they will all surrender.

But it doesn't matter.

Even if it surrenders, it can delay the speed of the Han Dynasty cavalry!

………………………………

But what Juli Lake didn't expect was that someone had already surrendered.

After he ordered the retreat, more than a dozen Munan tribes, instead of following him to retreat north, took advantage of the chaos, took the tribe's men, horses and livestock, carried the wounded soldiers and the old and weak, and knelt under the Yuyang Fortress.

Therefore, when Bo Shi's cavalry came out of Yuyang Saicheng, the first thing they encountered was these tribes who came to surrender.

"I, waiting for all the departments, are willing to descend to the Han Dynasty!" The leaders of more than a dozen tribes fell in front of Bo Shi in embarrassment and said, "I hope the general will be merciful......

Some people even held up a book embroidered with clothes and hair and held it high: "Although we are in the Huns, our hearts are in the Han!" General, these are all evidence of what we have done for the Son of Heaven in the past......"

Bo Shi didn't care if these people came to surrender, and he didn't care what they had done to the Han family in the past.

What he cares about is that these people are blocking the roads......

You must know that these tribes who came to surrender add up to more than 10,000 people and nearly 100,000 livestock.

They blocked the entire road in a dense manner.

But Bo Shi just couldn't have a seizure.

After all, people are here to surrender!

This made Bo Shi really cry and laugh in his heart: "Our army was not stopped by the Hun cavalry, but by its surrender!" ”

This is probably an unprecedented spectacle in the history of warfare over the past decades, if not centuries.

However, they had to manage these surrenders.

Not to mention, the Huns did not pay attention to hygiene, and many of them did not bathe all year round and lived with livestock.

Now it's just raining heavily, and many of these people are drenched.

If one is not careful, if it is not handled properly, it can lead to an outbreak of epidemics.

And at this time, the power of an influenza is more terrible than the plague!

This airborne and spittle-borne disease can easily kill 100,000 people and devastate millions.

In the Han army's drill code, there is a rule that in such a situation, all prisoners must be isolated.

There was no way, Bo Shi had no choice but to send light cavalry to bypass these people and continue to move forward, on the other hand, he sent his own army to escort and protect these prisoners of war, and at the same time asked Yuyangsai to also send infantry to respond, first escort these surrendered people to Pinggu and Hunu's military camp behind Yuyangsai, isolate them, and make sure that there would be no epidemic before making plans.

And taking advantage of this time, Bo Shi found the nobles and leaders of these surrendered tribes and learned from them about the internal affairs of the Xiongnu.

And this understanding immediately made Bo Shi unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.

"The military minister is actually dead?"

"Xinshan Yu is called 'Juli Lake', who is this?"

"So the son of the old Shangdan Yu, the Xia King of the Huns? Is it the son of Emperor Gao and the princess? ”

This information is extremely important and invaluable.

It was these news that made Bo Shi make a decision.

"When today's son is determined to set up dozens of Shan Yu ...... on the grassland" Bo Shi thought in his heart: "There has been a return to righteousness Shan Yu before, not long ago, the Xiongnu Hexi nobles rebelled and supported their Zuo Xian King as Shan Yu ......"

"That's two orders in ......"

"When the military minister is dead, the division of the Huns is just around the corner......"

"This sentence is simple in ploughing the lake, and it really has to be put back ......"

If you don't put this Shan Yu back, there will be chaos on the grassland!

Because if he and his army are buried here, they are actually doing the Xiongnu in Hexi.

He's dead, and there's Orthodoxy on the west side of the river -- Orthodoxy without a doubt!

Only if he is alive is the most beneficial to the Han family!

"This sentence is not right, and the words are not right......" Bo Shi pondered: "The Xiongnu Zuoxian King is a rebellious minister and thief, in this way, my Han family's Guiyi Shan Yu should be regarded as an orthodox ......"

In fact, who is orthodox is no longer important today.

The important thing is that the civil strife of the Huns is about to start!

Between the three orders, you must see each other!

This is in the interests of Dahan!

Bo Shi knew that after this battle, the Han family would digest the fruits of victory and consolidate the frontier.

Not to mention, it will take time to digest the area between the south and the river.

If the Xiongnu are united, it will be extremely unfavorable for the development in the next year or a few years.

It is in the interests of the country to let them become a mess.

However, this is something that the Son of Heaven did, but he, a courtier, can't do.

If you do it, you will bully the king on his back and kill the whole family!

But if you don't do it, so that the Huns are not divided, this crime is also quite large.

It is difficult to guarantee that the Son of Heaven will not blame him in the future.

This made it a little difficult for Bo Shi to choose.

It seems that no matter how you choose, it is wrong.

"That's it!" Bo Shi thought: "Let God decide!" If the Xiongnu Shan Yu is still there when I rush to the riverbank, then I can't blame him, and I can only blame him for his bad life......"

There's no way around it.

After all, Bo Shi knew very well that if he wanted to deliberately let go of the Huns, let alone Shan Yu, even if it was a bone marquis, he might be chopped up by those officers who wanted to make merit.

He himself can't forgive himself!

Whether it is killing or capturing the Huns alive, this is enough to go down in history and be praised by future generations for thousands of years!

Poetry of Nanzhong, but that's it!

………………………………

Half an hour later, when Bo Shi's main force arrived at the bank of the Yushui River, they saw a mess.

At this moment, the Xiongnu order has completely collapsed.

Previously, when Juli Lake and his Shan Yuting headquarters army were there, the Xiongnu tribes were chaotic but barely organized.

But now, everyone is scrambling to get a raft across the river.

Some people even led their horses into the river.

The wounded and the old and weak, there is no one to take care of at all.

They were abandoned on the riverbanks and hillsides, gasping, pleading, and weeping.

The arrival of the Han cavalry did not make them afraid, but allowed them to see the savior.

Many people wept and crawled, kowtowing desperately on the ground, begging the benevolent Han Dynasty people to save their lives.

And the scene of crossing the river was filled with the smell of blood.

There was even a carpet of corpses on the ground.

Many trampled on the corpses and rushed into the river in despair, only to be swept away by the river.

Looking at this scene, not only Bo Shi, but also the other officers of the Han army were silent.

Some of the generals who had been trained in Wuyuan even remembered the past of the Chu and Han struggles for hegemony that the veteran professors of Wuyuan had told.

In the battle of Haixia, the defeated Chu army, just like these Hun cavalry in front of them, lost their organization, lost discipline, killed each other, and trampled on each other.

Xiang Yu's army of 300,000 disappeared overnight.

"A gentleman is a beast, he can't bear to see his death, he can't bear to hear his voice, he can't bear to eat his flesh...... Bo Shi sighed, and ordered: "Send someone to shout: If you lay down your arms and surrender on the spot, you can live!" ”

In the past, of course, the Han army wished that the more beheadings the better, especially the head of the northern captive, which was very valuable.

But today, although the Han army has pursued beheading, capture is also a very important thing.

Today, the Xiongnu prisoners of war have become the main force of the Han engineering team.

Whether it is repairing channels or repairing the emperor's tomb, these strong Huns are a good labor force.

It was precisely because of these prisoners of war that the Han family was able to liberate the Sikong Chengdan group, which totaled more than 200,000.

Moreover, among these Huns, there may be many people who are good at raising horses and animal husbandry.

Since the second year of Yuande, benefiting from the hard work of these Xiongnu prisoners of war with excellent animal husbandry skills, the Han family was able to begin to implement the fake animal policy.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven also revised the calculation formula between beheading and capture.

Some captives, even more expensive than the head!

Therefore, Bo Shi's order did not receive any resistance.

Immediately, someone rode out and shouted loudly in the Xiongnu dialect: "On the orders of Bo Gong, the governor of the Great Han Andong Protectorate, you will listen to it, if you put down your arms and kneel on the ground to surrender, you can live, if you resist stubbornly, you will be a powder!" ”

I shouted three times in a row.

The Huns did not respond, but many stopped their movements and looked at the Han cavalry in the rain and fog like fools.

Everyone knows that as long as this Han cavalry attacks, they have no other choice but to be driven down the river to feed the fish.

It's just that these people are basically the tribes of the northern part of the Maku-maku-the southern Makunan clan has already knelt down and surrendered.

The tribes of the northern part of the Makuku were not like the southern tribes of the Makunan, and they spent more time dealing with the Han family and had more contact.

So, they are all hesitant.

Because in the legends and propaganda, the Han Dynasty would kill all the Huns.

In particular, the god horseman, who is said to be the devil who wants to eat the brains and hearts of the Huns!

Bo Shi looked at the reaction of the Huns, waved his hand and said: "Send someone to dismount, first go to treat those wounded soldiers, and shelter the old and weak......"

"No!" Immediately someone took the order, dismounted with hundreds of men, and contained the wounded and the old and weak who were scattered on the ground or lying in the broken barracks.

Seeing this, the Huns' mental defense was finally lost.

A handful of weapons were thrown on the ground.

One after another, the Huns knelt on the ground.

Then, there was group after group.

Eventually, more than 20,000 people on the banks of the river knelt down. (To be continued.) )
