Chapter 18: The Wall of Man and Victory
The Hun camp is not far away, and it only takes a moment to get there on horseback.
However, it took a lot of time to treat the wounded of the Bingzhou army in time and re-boost morale, so although this is not far, the Huns are also prepared.
"Bastard!"
After seeing the arrival of the Bingzhou army, the Hun camp really made another move, but when they saw this action, almost all the Bingzhou sergeants were angry!
Originally, this Xiongnu camp should have been only a medium-sized tribe, but because of the previous operation, the Xiongnu escaped, and after the news was reported, the Huns gathered together, and they gathered into a large camp within half a day.
Not to mention that the Xiongnu did not have any cities in the interior of the Central Plains, and the so-called camps were mostly concentrated in tents.
It is also impossible that such a makeshift camp would have had any defenses.
This is the reason why Gao Shun is not in a hurry.
The Xiongnu had already lost their courage, and even if they regrouped for rectification, they would not be able to withstand the next charge for a while.
But seeing the scene in front of him, Gao Shunzhi said that he still underestimated the Huns, and he couldn't imagine that these Huns were so cruel.
Rows of Han people stood around the camp in a panic, their faces full of horror, and there seemed to be nothing behind them, but the Huns were hiding behind them, and the sharp arrows were like fangs hidden in the darkness, and once someone approached, they would pounce on them.
"Damn it!"
Although Gao Shun was also angry about this matter, Ci was not in charge of the army, and he was more worried about the threat brought by the Xiongnu's move.
The Huns were fierce, and the reason why they dared to invade the state was not only by virtue of the speed of the horse, but also by the advantage of the bow and arrow.
More importantly, once things are unfavorable, the Xiongnu can ignore the lives of those Han people, and directly rush out, and it is not impossible to be defeated at that time.
Wei Tao after the formation was also very surprised when he looked at the actions of the Huns.
Although these Han people are slaves, they are also human beings after all, but the Xiongnu did not treat them as human beings.
"Five Random Chinese ......"
Gritting his teeth, Wei Tao has a clear understanding of the 'five nonsense' that may occur in the future.
As long as there is a possibility, I want to change the situation of 'five nonsense chaos', and I will not go to this Three Kingdoms era in vain!
"The whole army is ready to charge."
But at this time, Gao Shun still opened his mouth to order.
"Leave those people alone, rush over with all your might!"
Soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, not to mention that now when you are dying, although there is more or less anger in your heart, the sergeant of Bingzhou is still ready to carry out the order.
"General, no! That's my fellow Han Chinese! β
The person who opened his mouth to block it was Zhang Liao, and if it was only Zhang Liao, who was more than ten years old.
"Execute the order! All ready, kill! β
Where will Gao Shun be careful, no matter how much he values it on weekdays, he can't take care of it at this time, and when he gave an order, Gao Shun came out first.
Hearing Gao Shun's order, the state army immediately rushed towards the Xiongnu.
Unlike Zhang Liao, Wei Tao did not hesitate much.
Wei Tao knew that this day would come sooner or later, and naturally he would not be as naΓ―ve as Zhang Liao.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many princes fought, and the number of people who died at that time was not afraid to be millions of times that of this time, if they didn't even dare to do it at this time, then don't say what would happen in the future.
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.
"Kill! Kill all those Huns! β
Hearing Wei Tao's shout, the speed of the charge was a little faster.
"Shoot! Shoot fast! β
When the Huns saw that the Bingzhou army was really desperate to kill, they finally couldn't hold on, and dozens of arrows came straight at them.
I have to say that the archery skills of the Huns are really not bad, and the dozens of sergeants in front of them fell directly from their horses, and they saw that they were not alive.
It's a pity, that's the end of it, the speed of the cavalry won't give them a chance to shoot a second arrow at all, and in this moment, they have already rushed in front of the human wall.
"Get out of here!"
Those enslaved Han people didn't know why they were a little stupid, and they didn't even know how to hide from the horses galloping at high speed.
Since they didn't let it, the horses that were also galloping didn't have a reason to stop, and they hit it hard, directly knocking those Han people away.
As soon as they fell to the ground, many horses trampled over them, and they were trampled to death.
"Kill!"
At the same time, as soon as they entered the Hun camp, there were suddenly Hun cavalry rushing up.
The anger that had just been accumulated by many soldiers and soldiers in the state was suddenly ignited, and the gravity of the swords and guns slashed, and the Huns were killed and turned over on their backs.
This time the battle was over soon, and there were only a few dozen people who really stayed to charge and kill the Huns.
The Huns were not stupid, they retreated from the camp early, and those who stayed here were all Han Chinese who worked hard, and even put on a desperate defensive posture.
At this time, it seems that few of the rows of Han slaves are still alive.
"If we don't charge......"
After all, Zhang Liao was only a teenager, and he couldn't bear it, and at this time, he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.
"If we don't charge, we'll die!"
But I didn't want the other people next to me to answer coldly.
"You have also seen the archery skills of the Huns, an average of three arrows is the life of one of our brothers, if we are not fast enough to break through the opponent's defense, then we are lying down now!"
Originally, it was only one or two people around, but after hearing the dispute on this side, at least half of the people looked at Zhang Liao with a strange gaze.
In particular, some people also noticed that Zhang Liao was originally in the formation, but when he was already in the back position when he charged, he was even more displeased.
Think about it, this is the battlefield, who is not fighting with their lives when they go to the battlefield, who wants to go to the battlefield with a guy who is dragging his feet and even has the suspicion of framing his colleagues?
No matter what Zhang Liao was doing at that time, at least now he is such an image in the hearts of many sergeants of Bingzhou.
"But ......"
I have to say that Zhang Liao's skills are indeed good now, but unfortunately he is too tender, even at this time, he still wants to argue.
Fortunately, before he could say anything more, Wei Tao had already grabbed him and took the first step to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that this battle has been won, and the support of several tribes has been lost, even if the Huns have escaped, their strength will inevitably be greatly reduced, and they may not even be able to survive this winter. In the next ten years, I am afraid that there will be no danger of the Xiongnu in our annexed states. If we wait for this great achievement, the Duke of Jianyang must have a reward, so why quarrel over this little thing? β
Hearing Wei Tao speak, the person who originally wanted to complain about Zhang Liao again didn't say anything more after all.
"Besides, everyone was promoted and made a fortune after this incident, and they will all contribute to Jianyang Gong in the future, so why make it so rusty."
This time, Wei Tao's performance was very eye-catching, and he played a key role several times.
More importantly, Wei Tao is different from Zhang Liao, Wei Tao is from Chen Liuwei's family, a big family, and is valued by Lu Bu and even Ding Yuan.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs, relatives and families were the three pillars of the Han Dynasty.
Perhaps in the center of Luoyang, even if the family is the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, they still have to retreat when facing eunuchs and relatives, but locally, it is controlled by the family family.
If it weren't for the identity of a disciple of the family, Wei Tao would be able to participate in Lu Bu's father's meeting so easily?
Even if they don't know much about the relationship, as long as they can think of this, these sergeants will give Wei Tao a little face.
Even Wei Tao is just a small uncle, even if there is a sergeant who is at the same level or even higher than him here.
What's more, what Wei Tao said is also good, promotion and fortune are just around the corner, and there is no need to make too much of it.
As for Zhang Liao, he naturally knew that Wei Tao was for himself, and he was also moved by it in his heart, so he no longer said much.
"Clean up the battlefield and bury all the corpses."
Although tired, Gao Shun's order to clean up the battlefield was soon issued.
This time, the Huns obviously fled in a hurry, and many supplies were left behind, and there were countless cattle and sheep.
However, this time it was different from before, in order to pursue the Xiongnu, many things had to be directly abandoned, and everyone only got some gold and silver.
These gold and silver were plundered by the Xiongnu in the south in previous years, and they were not shared much among them.
But that was only because the more valuable things were taken away, but this time the Huns left very urgently, except for taking people away, basically nothing else was taken away, and all were left.
In addition, if all these sheep and horses are brought to the state, at least it can withstand half a year's tax payment.
The spoils of war this time can be described as very rich, but after all, it is a combination of all the property of several border tribes, and it is also owned by their plundered and annexed states over the years.
What's more, everyone knows one thing, so this reward must be very generous.
This point is that Wei Tao, who already knows the greedy nature of generals such as Lu Bu and Cao Xing, has to admit that for meritorious people, whether it is Lu Bu, Wei Xu, Song Xian and others, he has never been stingy in such things.
But even so, it was a rest, because the Huns had already been defeated, so this ** was fine, and the Bingzhou army recovered a lot.
However, unlike the Mercedes-Benz that came hundreds of miles a day, it was much slower to return with a large number of supplies, but a large number of troops escorted it, and they were not afraid that anyone who would not open their eyes would dare to come.
With this in mind, on the way back, the sergeants of the various states were lightly armed and much looser.
Although Gao Shun also has outstanding prestige and rich experience in warfare, he also understands that if he continues to press, it is very easy to cause dissatisfaction in the army.
Therefore, in addition to ordering people to patrol around the team, and sending everyone to investigate first, he also let them go and did not do much to stop them.
