Section 1120 The Fall of Gaoque (2)

However, Huyan Dangtu forgot one thing. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes.

What's more, there are not too many half-hearted people in Gaoque City now.

Before the city of Gaoque fell, there were already many people trying to escapeβ€”what a joke, the Han Dynasty people were smashing the city hundreds of steps away with huge stones.

Every stone that hit the city showed an astonishing destructive power.

When a stone is smashed, it will immediately be shattered and all flesh and bones.

In other words, as long as the people of the Han Dynasty are willing, they will take this kind of siege weapon and smash it for a month, and Gaoque City will not be able to hold it.

What's more, the slaves and herdsmen of the lower classes have already become frightened birds.

After the boulder attacked, many people ran back to their dome tremblingly, put their heads on the ground, and trembled slightly to the Han Dynasty emperor's god card and a wood carving carved with the image of the Han Dynasty's god horse, kowtowed, prayed, and begged for mercy.

For these people, the attack of the Han Dynasty has gone beyond their imagination, beyond the reality they know, and belongs to the means of ghosts and gods.

How dare people fight against ghosts and gods?

So, at the moment when the city of Gaoque was broken.

The Han army had not yet reacted, and the Huns themselves reacted first.

I don't know which tribe it is, but he suddenly shouted: "The god rider is coming, everyone hurry up and run for your life!" ”

On the grassland, the god riding of the Han Dynasty is currently two contradictory and opposite legends.

Some people say that the Han Dynasty rode gods and liked to eat people, and they must eat the heart and brain of a Hun at every meal, otherwise, how could they be so strong?

But some people also say that the Han Dynasty god rider, that is the heavenly soldier and the heavenly general, does not eat the fireworks of the world, as long as he sincerely bows, he will not commit any crime.

But, whatever the way it is said.

On the front, those who go against the god riders will definitely die.

And it's going to die very, very badly.

The Zhelan and Aries cavalry who fled back, and the nobles of the headquarters who were redeemed, all told the others in unison: It is the devil's army, and mortals are invincible.

All the survivors who have seen the Han army god ride out and finally run back to the grassland.

Whether it was the Zhelan people, who were once known for their ferocity, or the Aries who were known for their calmness, or the headquarters cavalry of the Huns, they all went crazy because they couldn't withstand the blow.

There are even people who commit suicide after reporting the news.

They dare not and cannot accept that terrible fact in their memory.

The nobles who were later redeemed gave full play to the specialties of the nobles.

In order to cover up their incompetence, these guys had no choice but to exaggerate the strength of the Han army, and add fuel and vinegar to further deify the Han army's cuirassiers.

Up to now, no Huns in the entire Munan dared to face the cuirass of the Han army.

As soon as the cuirass lined up, the Huns scattered and fled.

Then, the Han army had no choice but to watch them escape.

This exposed the inadequacy of the cuirassiers' long-range runs.

However, in the hearts of the lower-class herdsmen and slaves, the concept of the invincibility of the Han Dynasty's gods and horses was confirmed.

If it weren't for the fact that the Han Dynasty gods were too invincible, then why did the old men run away as soon as they saw it?

Since even the old men and the eagle archers are fleeing from the wind, what will we little shrimp do to fight?

Let's run!

If you can't run, just drop it!

Therefore, when Gaoque City was broken, the entire lower psychological defense line suddenly collapsed.

Even the armies of many tribes were in an uproar.

In their minds, there is a very simple concept.

A fortified city like Gaoque City, which is impossible to be captured, can't stop the footsteps of the Han Dynasty!

We, who are just mortals, flesh and blood, how dare we resist the footsteps of the gods!

At the moment when the city of Gaoque was broken.

Immediately, hundreds of herdsmen suddenly broke through the gate on the other side of Gaoque and fled out of the valley road.

Because this side was not the focus of defense, and the whole city was shocked by the scene on the other side of Gaoque City, the people guarding the gate couldn't react at all, so they watched hundreds of horsemen gallop out.

Panic and despair, like the plague, instantly infected every Hun who saw this scene.

Many of the soldiers guarding the gate looked at the fleeing men, but hesitated for a moment, and then they jumped off the city, mounted their horses, and fled.

The Xiongnu nobles, who controlled and supervised them, had no time to stop them.

In fact, no one tried to stop it.

"Run......," said another nobleman in a felt hat of the Marquis of the Bone Capital, "and we must hurry back to the tribe and take away the tribe's babies, women, children, and livestock!" ”

The city of Gaoque has been broken, and the terrible Han army is about to go straight into the vast hinterland of the river and reach Yinshan.

If you don't hurry home and pack up the softness, do you have to wait for the Han Dynasty to kill them and capture all the livestock, women and children?

The Xiongnu often conquered and plundered others, so they knew very well what would happen if their own tribe's children, women and children fell into the hands of the Han people.

Women will all become tools of procreation, and children, men will be slaves forever, and women will be reduced to slaves for generations.

The tribe's livestock would be slaughtered and eaten.

In this way, the tribe will be completely cut off from the future.

And the escape of these people made the northern gate of the entire Gaoque City wide open.

Countless tribal cavalry and nobles swarmed and fled to that narrow exit.

Even in order to compete for exports, a big fight.

This is perfectly normal, and this has happened countless times in the history of mankind.

Even, even after 2,000 years, similar events have never stopped.

When a crisis occurs, the panic of the crowd will be infinitely magnified in the group role.

For a chance to survive, human beings will cruelly take away the chance of survival of others.

Even in fact, as long as you think about it calmly, you will know that you can escape in an orderly manner.

But the problem is that this kind of thing cannot be solved by the calmness of one or two people, but only by the thinking of the group.

And now, the idea of the crowd is to run!

Moreover, it is the elites of various tribes who take the lead.

Those nobles who usually stand tall in the sky, those heavily armed troops!

Within half an hour, the order of Gaoque City had ceased to exist.

Even the cavalry of the Xiongnu's headquarters completely lost order and were broken up in such a panicked situation.

At this moment, the shortcomings of the Hun army were exposed.

Compared with the well-disciplined and well-organized Han army, there are only a few of their military discipline and military law.

Their soldiers have never been systematically trained.

They fought purely on experience and tacit understanding, not on military law and discipline.

Not to mention the Huns, even the Mongol cavalry was the same in the early days.

The description of the steppe cavalry in the history books can never be separated from 'victory is like a collection of birds, and defeat is disintegration and dispersion'.

…………………………

"General Zuo, let's go......" Dozens of loyal Hun warriors surrounded General Zuo, who refused to leave Gaoque, Hu Yan Dang: "While the Han Dynasty has not yet launched an attack, hurry up, it's too late!" ”

One by one, these samurai drew their sabers and weapons, and looked around solemnly.

In the past half an hour, the Huns have not only been in a state of internal order, but have also collapsed.

There was a terrible wave of exodus.

The wave of fugitives isn't just about people who want to run for their lives.

There are even traitors who want to kill a high-ranking Xiongnu nobleman and give the Han Dynasty a greeting gift.

This kind of thing is just too common!

Not to mention the Huns, in Chinese history, once the army is defeated, even if it is a cronie of the army, countless careerists will immediately emerge!

And in the Huns, the situation was even more terrible.

When the defeat of the Xiongnu was confirmed, countless careerists, those tribes and slaves who had been exploited and oppressed by the Xiongnu, but did not say a word, did not say a word, and suffered silently, finally waited for this opportunity to repay the blood debt from the Huns!

This blood debt can be his own, or it can be the ancestors of the generation he does not know.

In this steppe, as long as the battle is defeated, it is the original sin!

There is also guilt in the innocent!

What's more, the Huns are in a lot of blood debt!

He looked at the collapsed city wall, and the boulder that smashed on the ground and smashed a deep pit, he knelt down and said, "I, Huyan Dangtu, am guilty!" Shan Yu handed over the elite of this scene south to me, a full eleven 10,000 horsemen, but he was defeated again and again in front of the Han Dynasty, losing the face of the Huns, where do you still have the face to see Shan Yu? ”

The destruction of Gaoque City extinguished Huyandang's last luck.

As soon as Gaoque was lost, Beihe and Yangshan fell under the control of the Han Dynasty.

This means that the Xiongnu have no danger to defend before Yinshan.

And Gao Que has fallen, how many days can Yinshan hold out?

What's more, the defenders of Gaoque are broken up like this, and they will infect the entire Makunan with the feeling of defeat.

No one would dare to stop the advance of the Han cavalry anymore.

This means that within a few days, except for Yinshan, all the other places controlled by the Xiongnu in this river will be reduced to the territory controlled by the Han Dynasty.

The Huns will be like lost dogs, fleeing from their birthplace and ancestral court in disarray.

Huyan Dangtu, who lost this place, even if he escapes back, where is there still the face to see Shan Yu?

Even, a sinner like him is likely to be tied to the altar of Dragon City, skinned and cramped, and his head made into a night pot, nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

What's more, it will also implicate Shan Yu and his brother.

The general of the defeated army, who lost his division and humiliated the country, actually has the face to come back?

Those who have long been unhappy with him will definitely jump up and attack Shan Yu.

"No!" A nobleman who followed Huyan Dangtu said, "You must go back!" ”

"If you die here, it will not only humiliate the Great Huns, but also become a symbol of the Han Dynasty boasting of its martial arts!" The nobleman said: "Yin Zhixian died in the battle in Mayi that year, and his body was hung up by the Han Dynasty and hung on the head of the city of Mayi to blow it into a bone shelf...... His head was soaked in lime, then passed to the soldiers and civilians of the Han Dynasty to watch, and finally, was sent to the Taimiao of the Han Dynasty and sacrificed to the ancestors of the Han Dynasty! Even his tribe, Daxu, was trampled by the cavalry of the Han Dynasty and their families, allowing sludge and dung to defile the wolf's head of the Youxian King......"

"Would you like to see the Huyan clan's Daxu trampled on by the Han Dynasty? Do you want your corpse to be evidence that the Han Dynasty people boasted of their martial arts? The nobleman asked.

"But if I go back, it will only affect Shan Yu ......"

"No!" The man said solemnly: "If you go back, you will not be involved with Shan Yu, but you will tell Shan Yu about the failure experience of this Gaoque City and the Hejian Land!" ”

"In this way, even if you still die in the end, you are worthy of Shan Yu!"

"Moreover, you can also show the tribes that your loyalty and bravery, maybe there will be a turnaround!"

At this time, in the Han Dynasty army in the distance, the first batch of troops began to rush over.

The battle flags of the Han Dynasty fluttered high, and the sound of war drums resounded throughout the world.

"Let's go!" Huyan Dangtu finally made up his mind, stamped his feet, took these warriors, rode on his war horses, and took the clan's Daxu, and headed towards the gate of the city in the north.

………………………………………………

Two hours later, stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, Yi Zong and Cheng Buzhi entered Gaoque City side by side.

On this occasion, this fortress built by King Zhao Wuling finally returned to the embrace of China.

However, after this battle, the fortress was also almost crippled.

The attack of the Han army caused the entire foundation of the fortress to begin to shake, and even led to its collapse.

To make matters worse, the subsequent collapse and internecine slaughter of the Huns almost completely destroyed the city's internal environment, with gunsmoke and burning wood everywhere, and a large number of mutilated limbs and dead bodies everywhere.

More than a dozen tribal leaders, with their people, knelt on both sides of the road, and they all held the heads of some Xiongnu nobles.

"Prepare to write a note to Your Majesty......" Yi Zong said to Cheng Buzhi: "The Huns are in front of Yin Mountain, and it is impossible for them to have the strength to stop our army......

It's just that it's unlikely that the Han army will continue to pursue.

Because, according to the phenological record, in a few days, no more than ten days at most, the snowstorm will begin.

In the weather where the noon hours were all negative quarters, it was a little difficult for the Han army to attack, even to protect itself.

Fortunately, Heyin and Yiliang have seized a large number of livestock, so they don't have to worry about food for the time being.

And the success of Gaoque City also allowed the Han army to get a good place to protect themselves from the cold, without having to retreat hundreds of miles to Ziling to avoid the wind and snow.

However, another problem also came to the fore - the captivity......

Yi Zong and Cheng didn't know each other, they both frowned, looking at the prisoners kneeling all over the city.

Before the war, there were about 40,000 or 50,000 defenders (military plus civilians), of which about 30,000 either ran away or died.

And the rest are kneeling in front of the Han army!

Referring to the experience of the Battle of Mayi, these captives will become wealth in the future.

They will either become test subjects for the imperial court experiments, or become the Han family's engineering team members, and then brainwash and eventually join the loyal army.

And among them, the technical talents will become the treasure of the Han family!

As long as they are good at herding and taking care of livestock, they will become employees of Shaofu and become a member of the Han family ranch.

At present, the Han family has 36 official horse farms, with tens of thousands of herdsmen, half of whom are Xiongnu descendants and defected nomads.

I've been in bad health lately, so I'm sorry.

I had a fever for the first two days, and I only got rid of it today~

Well, if you go to hang the water for another day tomorrow, you should almost be able to resurrect it~

It's definitely going to break out next week! (To be continued.) )
