Chapter 377: The Battle of Jaisangbo (3)
Walls of corpses are piled up on the shores of the lake.
In the face of the hard frozen soil, this feat that non-human beings could accomplish made Mao Dun and other Hun generals stunned.
"Heavenly Punishment!"
I don't know who it is, muttered out this sentence, and the Huns are all bones, Qianchang, Baichang, etc. are silent, among the corpse wall, although most of them are people from the Ghost Rong Aries tribe, but there are also some familiar Huns figures, some of these people are not swept into the corpse wall after death, but failed to escape last night's storm, unfortunately became a member of the corpse wall.
No matter how strong a warrior is, he can't resist God's punishment.
The Huns who survived in the desert wilderness believed in the liliang given by nature and believed in the gods and spirits, and they stood in front of the corpse wall in a daze, terrified in their hearts.
"Where are the people of the Aries tribe hiding?" After half a sound, Mao Dun came back to his senses, and asked while instructing the soldiers to light torches and burn the corpse wall.
"The Aries tribe's garrison has also been hit by a great storm and suffered heavy losses, and now they have fled south." A commander of the Hun tribe who took over the scout mission trembled in return.
"To the south, more than two hundred miles south from Zhaisangbo, it is the place where the Wusun and Dayuezhi people live, and the Aries people have found a good way out, but although our shili has not fully extended there, the Yuezhi people can just use it well, maybe we will have an unexpected harvest." Mao Dun sneered and snorted coldly.
In recent years, with the strength of the Qin State, the Great Moon Branch gradually faded out of the main battlefield of the Qin and Hungarian hegemony, especially after the new generation of the Great Moon Branch King took over, the Great Moon Branch continued to move westward at the same time, and the relationship with the Xiongnu was also quite unclear, it stands to reason. The Great Moon Branch and the Xiongnu have an incomprehensible hatred, but this is an era of mercenary, and any hatred is actually nothing in the face of interests.
Maudun was reluctant to give up.
This attack on the Aries tribe was a key part of his integration of the Great Huns, and only by completely eliminating the threat from the rear could the Hun warriors move south without any scruples.
Judging from the degree of damage that swept through the Altai Mountains and Zaisangbo area of the Great Storm, the Aries tribe must have suffered heavy losses this time, and they are no more experienced than these cavalry in Maudun, who have rich experience in surviving in the wild. The women and children of the Aries tribe, who had lost their main male, had no way to keep their tents.
There are still two months to go before spring arrives.
For the Aries people, who have lost their basic subsistence supplies and cannot feed their cattle and sheep in the snow to gnaw on grass roots, their only option is to move long distances.
And no matter which direction they migrate, the vicious wolves of Maudun will chase after them, and this kind of competition between tribes for survival is very similar to the scene of carnivores such as lions when herbivores such as zebras and wildebeest migrate in the African savannah.
The Aries tribe wants to migrate, and no matter how fast it moves, it is not as fast as the Hun cavalry. After suffering an unexpectedly heavy loss, Maudun certainly won't rest on his laurels.
Jin Xi, this woman, he must get.
A witch who even the gods will favor, isn't it the Que clan that the Great Huns need the most. As for whether this woman's heart would lean towards him, Mao Dun didn't have much to worry about.
Woman.
It is used by men to conquer, even if a holy woman is, once she is conquered by a man in the crotch. Once she gave birth to a child and grandchildren, her heart was entangled.
The big storm didn't stop the male mad lion from chasing. He no longer has an opponent on the prairie, and now he only desires to use his closest brother to conquer the most mysterious woman in the prairie.
――。
The intelligence of the Huns is very accurate, and Jin Xi has decided to return to the south with the ghost side, the white sheep, and some dependent Lou Fu, Lin Hu and other tribesmen.
The tribal settlement on the west bank of Jaisangbo is already a mess, with destroyed tents, frozen cattle and sheep, and some living pottery scattered everywhere, indicating that the habitat of this steppe tribe has been abandoned.
Last night, the storm not only swept around the battlefield, but also swept away the winter materials that the Aries tribe had finally accumulated, the harvested hay was blown away by the strong wind, and the cattle and sheep also died countless times.
Leave your home.
Finding the next place to graze and live is not easy for the Aries people.
Fortunately, after a big war and a catastrophe, the Aries Tribal Alliance has existed in name only, and Jin Xi no longer needs to work hard to take care of those tribes with different intentions, she only needs to persuade the elders of the Ghost Fang and other tribes to make a decision, whether to return to the homeland in the east, or continue west, to the unknown wasteland where the Cypriots exist?
The future is bright.
The nomadic tribes that disappeared in the long river of history, I don't know how many, even a big ethnic group like the Great Moon Branch, Zuihou no longer exists, if the Aries tribe really moves west, their fate Zuihou can be imagined.
At this small emergency meeting of the Ghost Aries Tribe, Bai Guangji, as the leader of the Qiang tribe in Hexi and an important member of the Aries tribe, attended the meeting and expressed his opinions, and it was his strong advice that made the decision to move south and eventually return to the Wuding River valley to the east.
Bai Guangji's eloquence is not very good.
But yesterday, he and his Hexi Qiang proved to the people of the Aries tribe with hard facts that only by defecting to the Qin State could they obtain a powerful Liliang. As for the fierce battle between the Qin army and the Guifang tribe on the banks of the Wuding River back then, it became a headless case involving the Huns.
The ghost side raised troops, detained the relatives of the border army, and attacked the Qin people on the way to the migration, which is the origin of the original war, and from this point of view, there is nothing unrighteous about the Qin army's crusade.
Bowang pile.
Located at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains, here is more than 20 miles away from Jaisangbo, and it took half a day for the migration team of the Aries tribe to cross the pass of the Altai Mountains.
From Bowangdui to the south, is the territory of the Dayue Branch, this once rampant Hexi tribe is now no longer the past, continuous westward migration, in the face of the Huns did not dare to resist and blindly escaped, almost let the Dayue Branch lose all its appeal in the Western Regions.
The danger is not over.
The Donggui tribe team led by Jin Xi and Bai Guangji is about to usher in a new round of cruel tests after experiencing the catastrophe. (To be continued......)
