Chapter 5: Before the White Wave Valley
Shixun successfully passed through the Baibo Valley, seeing that the line was approaching Pingyang, looking around, but seeing that the fields were longitudinal and horizontal, although the grain had been harvested, the wheat straw was still there, and there were children picking up the missing ears of wheat in the field from time to time. Seeing this, Zhang Ji couldn't help frowning, and said to Shi Xun: "The Xiongnu are here, and they also attach importance to agriculture and mulberry, just like the Han family, I am afraid that it is different from the nomadic time in the north, and we will have no trade." Before coming to Hedong, Shi Xun had carefully studied the information collected by Guo Jia, and comforted Zhang Ji when he heard the words: "This is also the government of Chuquan, which was not the case when Fuluo was there. Therefore, even if it is heavy on agriculture and mulberry, it is only a matter of one or two years......"
As they were talking, a Hun cavalry suddenly roared up, about fifty paces away from them, holding their horses, and drawing their bows and arrows, aiming at them from a distance. Zhang Ji hurriedly covered himself in front of the horse, and shouted: "Hedong is too guarded here, and I have come to pay a visit to your family!" "Yes Xun is not afraid, not to mention that the other party is a subordinate and organized soldier, even if it is a robber, there is no reason to do it first without asking. He was only slightly unhappy - why did he want Zhang Derong to cover me? Are you stupid? I only served as the head of the tun because he was a fellow countryman and looked honest, but looking at his actions today, whether he can still occupy this position is really debatable......
A Xiongnu general on the opposite side approached and asked loudly: "Isn't Hedong the king too shou?" "It's Xun Xin who said that your news is really blocked, I've been in charge for almost two months, and I still remember Wang Yi? It can be seen that Hu Chuquan has no ambition, just stealing his life. Urging the horse to bypass Zhang Ji, take a few steps forward, raise the horsewhip in his hand, and replied: "A certain is the new Hedong Taishou is Xun, and there is also an old one with the Ru family, so you can go to report it quickly." β
The Hun general on the opposite side looked him up and down a few times. Suddenly raised his eyebrows. He said hatefully: "Could it be that the former Yanshi City was engaged in it?!" "Ahh It was Xun Xin who said that this guy actually recognized me, who is he? Is it the group of King Lili of Zuogu who I captured and joined the Yanshi that day? Or did he follow Yu Yu in front of the battle, and the guards beside Fuluo? At the moment, he coughed lightly: "The king of Gu Li in the suburbs of Luoyang, the one who retreated from the Yanshi City was so-and-so, and you can spread the report to Yu Yu in this way." β
He saw that this group of Hun cavalry was only thirty or forty people, not as many as his own, and it was estimated that the opposite side would have little possibility of arbitrariness. So he was not afraid, and deliberately put out his "glorious deeds" in the past. Of course, what he originally thought was that the recruitment was over, and he led thousands of troops out of Baibo Valley, set up camp, and then sent someone to agree on a meeting place with Hu Chuquan, which would definitely be much safer, but unfortunately, the recruitment was not smooth, so he had to take the risk in advance.
Unexpectedly, the general on the other side was quite bold. He sneered and said, "It turned out to be you...... Then please ask the Taishou to order the subordinates to throw down their weapons, and I will lead you to see Shan Yu. β
Shixun was shocked and angry when he heard this. I couldn't help but scold: "What are you, dare to be so rude?!" The general pouted and sneered, suddenly turned the horse's head, and beckoned backwards - it was a Hun dialect, which Shixun didn't understand at all.
He was still stunned here, Zhang Ji suddenly pulled the reins of his horse, and said quickly: "Hurry up and go!" Almost at the same time, the Huns on the opposite side had already urged their horses to rush towards them, and as they galloped towards them, they loosened their bowstrings, and dozens of arrows whistled like raindrops. Shi Xun hasn't turned the horse's head here yet, and he can't help but shout in his heart: "My life is over!" "At the same time, I'm wondering, I'm dying too inexplicably, right? Why do they kill people if they don't agree with each other?!
was almost about to close his eyes and wait for death, when suddenly his eyes darkened, but it turned out that Jing Huanxiao pulled out his shield in time to cover in front of Shi Xun's horse. I only heard a few "aggressive" sounds, and it was estimated that a lot of arrows were inserted into the wooden shield, and Jing Junxiao said "Ahh
Yeshun felt a pain in his knee, but fortunately he wasn't hit by an arrow...... Ah no, fortunately it wasn't a severe pain, probably not a serious injury. When I looked up again, I saw that several of my subordinates had fallen from their horses. The hundreds of troops under the command of Xun are all selected by thousands of Qingzhou soldiers, although they have not yet been integrated and trained, but their personal martial arts are not weak, seeing that the arrows are coming, they have to ride horses to dodge, or raise shields to block, but there are only dozens of arrows left and right, and they are not very dense, how can there be a reason not to carry it? The few who were hit by the arrows were all in a hurry like Jing Junxiao to cover Shi Xun or Zhang Ji, so they neglected their own defenses, so they were hit.
Seeing that his companion was wounded, and the Hun soldiers had rushed to the front, Jing Huanxiao couldn't help but be furious, and he didn't wait for Shi Xun's orders, so he shouted: "Each fights for itself, and all of them are killed!" "It's Xun Xin who said that your reflexes are not slow, but ...... Why do you have to "fight on your own"? Have I made you up in vain? Or does it mean that although your brother has been in Cao for many years, he still maintains his true character as a rogue and has not grown at all? This man really can't be used......
Fortunately, since it is his own department, it is Xun who has collected the best armor, weapons, and the best horses from the county, and equipped them, even if they fight alone, their combat effectiveness is definitely not weak. Therefore, after hearing the order, all the soldiers picked up their spears one after another, and they did not have time to urge the horses to gallop, so they covered their chests with a shield with their left hand and stood with a spear with their right arm, waiting for the Hun soldiers to hit the tip of the spear. Sure enough, there was really a stupid Hun who couldn't get enough of it, and he hit the spear fiercely, piercing his chest and abdomen, and by its strong momentum, several of the family members also screamed and fell from their horses.
Overall, those who collide will definitely die, and those who fall down are still alive, and the Huns have suffered a big loss......
When Wang Yi led Hedong, the quality of the troops was very poor, and even if the generals and subordinates were collected to select the regular soldiers, they were forced to screen out seven or eight out of ten. The Xiongnu soldiers went south to the Baibo Valley many times and plundered the counties, but Wangyi could not stop them, so they could only set up camps in the narrow part of the road south of Baibo, so as to barely block the southern invasion of the Xiongnu and keep two-thirds of Hedong County. It wasn't until LΓΌ Bu entered Hedong that the Huns hit the iron plate, and they were killed in the First World War, losing their armor and bleeding like a river, and even Yu Fuluo alone could be regarded as indirectly dying in the hands of LΓΌ Jun. When Lu Bu left Hedong and went west to Liangzhou, the Huns became crazy again, so they didn't take Xun under his command in their eyes at all - what is the use of being well-equipped? I guess if we let go of a round of arrows and rush forward, you will be crushed.
Zhang was very involved in miscellaneous things, and had also learned Hu for a few days, so he heard it clearly at that time, and the Xiongnu general turned his horse's head and shouted the sentence, which roughly meant: "I haven't seen anything too guarded, just some thieves." Therefore, he quickly pulled the reins of Shixun's horse and was about to escape. Who thought that he was afraid, but it added confidence to the other party, originally planned to shoot a round of feather arrows, then the left and right teams separated, in an arc of encirclement, and then continued to release arrows, see that these Han people have the intention of escaping, simply, let's not be so troublesome, let's charge directly.
The magic weapon of Hu riding across the grassland and desert is the ability to ride and shoot, coming and going like the wind, and the arrows raining down, and the Han people can only use the foot shield to defend in a circle at the beginning, and to strengthen the crossbow enemy. But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Gaoqiao saddle was introduced, and the spear cavalry developed, it could barely fight the Hun soldiers head-on - as long as the spear cavalry could catch up with the galloping speed of the Hun cavalry, it would definitely not fall behind. Therefore, in the Western Han Dynasty, only Huo Qu was sick and a genius, and he could lead 10,000 elite cavalry to chase the north, and the loss was very small and defeated the Huns, and even Wei Qing had to fight in a positional battle, in exchange for a miserable victory, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, even Dou Xian's second-rate generals could personally lead the army, seal the wolf and live in Xu, without him, the overall combat power was improved.
The dozens of horsemen of the Huns, both in number and equipment, are inferior to the Han soldiers, should have used the old method, circling around, galloping back and forth, but one is not a grassland, the vicinity is full of farmland, it is not convenient for large-scale maneuvering, and the other is to look down on the Han soldiers, so for a while, they rushed up directly. But as a result, there is only one word "death".
When the first few horsemen were pierced by spears, the rest hurried to rein in their horses. But they stopped the horses, and the family members urged the horses one after another, and with the help of the horses, before the other party turned around, they instantly overturned more than ten people. As soon as Shixun saw that the situation was favorable to him, he made up his mind, and took his bow and arrow from the saddle. He didn't aim at others, but only at the Hun general, and when he saw that the other party was busy gathering the defeated soldiers, he didn't hesitate to shoot an arrow.
The distance between the two sides was about forty paces, so it was Xun's accuracy was insufficient, and he wanted to shoot his ribs, but he missed the knee, and he made a "Ahh It was Xun Xin who said that it would be okay if he couldn't kill you, and he would capture him alive and ask, why would he take my life if he didn't agree with him. Immediately ordered: "Capture that general alive, and kill the rest!" β
Nearly 100 elite Han riders, chasing and killing dozens of Hun sentinels, is there any suspense at all? In just a few breaths, it was all killed. Jing Huanxiao was hit by an arrow in his left arm, and he didn't bandage it, so he bloodily captured the Hun general who fell off his horse and threw it in front of the horse. Yes Xun asked, "Who is your surname?" Why do you want to murder me? β
The Hun general stiffened his neck and closed his eyes: "Kill me." Even if he asked a few questions, he just stared at him and begged for death, refusing to answer. Yes Xun said okay: "And castrate, send back to Pingyang naked." β
The general was in a hurry, and shouted: "A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!" Shi Xun sneered: "I haven't seen Shiye, but I have seen Hu Lu and want to rob and kill me." Whoever answers me will die, and those who do not answer will be dishonored! β
That will really be afraid of breaking the roots, not only the lower half of the body and the happiness of the second half of his life will be in the soup, but also be sent back to Pingyang City so smoothly, I will be ashamed of my family to get old, in desperation, I have to be honest, he will answer whatever Xun asks. It turns out that this person is not an unknown person, his name is Molly, and he is also the Luan clan of the Xiongnu royal family, and he is a distant cousin of Hu Chuquan Shan Yu. The reason why he wanted to kill Shixun was not because his head was in the water, nor did he intend to rob, but he did have a personal reason to say...... (To be continued......)
