Chapter 139 Lu meets Zilong
Because of geographical reasons and environment, Xiongnu men were born with an education in battle and war. So that once they reach adulthood, they will straddle the battlefield immediately. Things like wars are also taken for granted.
These twenty militia patrols formed from the township were like lambs to the slaughter in the eyes of these Huns.
The patrol did not have such an awareness, because the things worn by these Huns were no different from those of the Central Plains, so they thought they were compatriots, and they smiled first when they were far away, and then strode over.
"Where are you from?" The captain of the patrol asked kindly after approaching only three feet away.
But as soon as his words fell, the man on the horse had already waved his long knife, and then he saw the sound of the wind, and the blade flashed, and a huge head was separated from the body and rolled to the ground.
"Ahh It's the enemy. When the quick patrol noticed that something was wrong, they shouted loudly and began to flee in all directions.
The combat strength of these people is average, if they encounter a very small number of villains, they may be able to fight, but when they encounter so many Hun fierce men, there is absolutely no possibility of victory.
Someone shouted and then scattered. It's just that the Huns did not intend to let them go. Seeing that these Han people wanted to escape, one by one they laughed and took out their bows and arrows from behind them and began to shoot from a distance.
The Huns have practiced riding and archery since they were young, and all of them have good archery skills. Nearly 300 men shot 19 people, and the result was already doomed, but in half an hour, all the patrol members fell to the ground, and one by one became dead bodies.
"Hmph, I can't help myself." Looking at these dead Han people, the man on horseback said in a disdainful tone, then raised his hand, and led his men away, and they didn't even dispose of the corpses, just let them explode in the wilderness like this.
Just about half an hour after this group of Huns left, a group of black-clothed cavalry appeared here, led by Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who were dressed in white, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face and a dignified appearance.
Zhang Chao had already made the decision to start a war with the Xiongnu, and Zhao Yun received the task of leading 5,000 dragon and tiger troops from Xinxing County to Yanmen County. In order to achieve the effect of concealment, they all marched at night. Last night, I went to a place called Zhang Li Township to rest.
Zhang Li Township, because the surname in the township is mostly Zhang Li famous. A few months earlier, after Zhang Chaobing's troops had recovered Xihe County and Hedong County, the counties of Xinxing County had expressed their submission. The townships also formed militia patrols according to Zhang Chao's orders.
Especially after this year's bumper harvest, the number of such patrols has become even more numerous. As a common man, they also want to protect the fruits of their cracks. And the person killed by the Xiongnu was the patrol of Zhang Li Township.
After going out for so long and not returning, the local pavilion chief (that is, the township chief) found Zhao Yun, who had just rested, hoping to ask the army to help take a look, and he fully suspected that he had encountered the Huns or the Montenegrin army.
Zhao Yun also attached great importance to the missing patrol team, which ordered the three hundred Dragon and Tiger Army to search for it, and saw the scene in front of him.
"General, these people shouldn't have been dead for long, and there is still a little residual warmth on their bodies." A company commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army jumped off his horse, reached out and touched a corpse, and then turned back to report to Zhao Yunyu.
"Got it. That being the case, let us pursue it and see who did it. Zhang Chao noticed the wheel prints of the carriage on the ground, and concluded that these people would not go too far. That is the case, and the pursuit will know the situation.
For a time, three hundred cavalry, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, went straight to the front.
This Hun army was led by Cheng Ran, among them there were not only nearly 300 Hun warriors, but also a cart of treasures and the beautiful Zhen Mi.
After Zhen Mi saw her relatives die one by one in the Zhen family's compound, she fainted in anger. Now, with the bump of the carriage, it has slowly woken up. When he opened his eyes and saw that his hands were tied, he was tied to the carriage, and even his mouth was covered with a piece of silk cloth, and tears fell from his eyes.
Her relatives died, and she was left alone, and she felt that there was no point in living, so she gave birth to the idea of seeking death.
Just because there is something in the mouth, even if you want to bite your tongue and kill yourself, you can't do it. After trying a few times, it didn't work, and slowly Zhen Mi in the sedan car became calm.
After calming down, Zhen Mi's will to die was not so obvious, and she thought more about avenging her family and relatives.
All this should have been done by the Huns, so if this is the case, then she should find these Huns to take revenge and comfort the souls of her relatives in the sky.
After Zhen Mi had a goal in mind, her next performance was more calm. Even a few times when it was time to eat, when the Huns put the food in her soft sedan chair and took off the silk cloth on her mouth, she did not intend to die.
Zhen Mi seemed to have given in, which made Cheng Ran very happy. He rode up to him and said, "You don't have to struggle, young lady, for my own good." Your Central Plains is too chaotic, and when you turn around and follow me to see the adults, you can ensure that you are safe and worry-free for the rest of your life, and you will eat and drink spicy food, isn't it beautiful? ”
looked at Cheng Ran, and killed this person countless times in his heart, but Zhen Mi did say in his mouth: "This general, I am willing to cooperate with you, but you don't have to restrain me, are so many big men still afraid of me as a little woman?" Do you have to tie me up? ”
"Oh, hehe, of course I'm not afraid. That is, it is not tied. But you don't want to run away. To tell you the truth, you will be at Yanmen Gate soon, and you will not be able to escape, hahaha. Cheng Ran laughed a few times with a very confident look.
Yanmen Pass. I have heard about this place from my brother since I was a child, and I know that it is the border between the Han and the Xiongnu, and once I enter there, I will wait for the border adjacent to the Xiongnu, and at that time, I am afraid that it is very difficult to return to my hometown.
It's just that Zhen Mi, who is completely filled with revenge in her heart, has long stopped thinking about it so much, and she only has one belief in her heart, and that is revenge. If anyone can help her get revenge, it's for her to do whatever she wants.
Zhen Mi has a certain amount of freedom in the sedan chair. When the sedan curtain was closed, tears could not be stopped. She is still just a weak woman after all, even if she wants revenge, how easy is it to talk about?
The team is still advancing. Cheng Ran led people to walk unhurriedly, maybe he already thought that he was safe, after all, it was so close to Yanmen County, no Han people dared to haunt here, it was no different from looking for death.
Cheng Ran didn't know that his figure had already entered Zhao Yun's eyes. Just in order to achieve the goal of total annihilation, he did not chase after him immediately, but divided his soldiers into four groups, and let the three company commanders who followed him start to outflank him from the east, west, and north directions, while he took a dozen or so personal soldiers to follow behind, and only waited for the army to be in place, and then launched an attack.
After more than three months of hard training, the combat strength of the Dragon and Tiger Army has become a first-class army under the guidance of Zhao Yun, and it is very familiar with the various tactics.
Now, in the eyes of Zhao Yun, the military action against Cheng Ran is not just a military training.
The Huns continued to walk, unaware of the danger coming, until a hundred well-organized cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him, and he did not feel the danger coming.
With the appearance of cavalry in front of him, hundreds of cavalry appeared on the left and right sides of the team, all of them were black-clad and armored, and their appearance made Cheng Ran feel great danger, and shouted "Stop!" The entire Hun contingent of nearly 300 people stood still.
Seeing that the encirclement was complete, Zhao Yun, who was in the rear, also brought more than ten personal soldiers and began to slowly approach Cheng Ran's department.
Cheng Ran has followed Hu Chuquan through a lot of big battles and small battles, and the price of eyesight is still there. As soon as these cavalry appeared, he saw that they were different, at least they would definitely not be ordinary Han Dynasty troops, these people should be elite.
Fortunately, the number of opponents is not large, so it is not impossible to fight. looked in all directions, and in the end, Cheng Ran set his eyes on General Zhao Yun who was dressed in white.
Cheng Ran could see that this person should be the leader of these cavalry. Coupled with the fact that the group was the least numerous, he set his sights on it.
Zhao Yun also saw that Cheng Ran was the enemy's general, so he locked his eyes early. Obviously, in his opinion, this man is his opponent today.
"Who's coming? Name of notification? Cheng Ran asked after Zhao Yun got closer and closer to him.
"I am Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, I am a general, and a general under the state herd, dare to ask who you are?" Although it can be determined that these people killed Zhang Lixiang's patrol, Cheng Ran and the others were wearing the clothes of the Han Dynasty after all, and they were dressed as Han people, and Zhao Yun didn't want to kill them by mistake, so he reported his name.
Hearing that Zhao Yun was the one who said that he was a general, Cheng Ran immediately snorted coldly.
In the eyes of most Huns, the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty was Yuan Shao, who had the title of the fourth and third dukes. This person has a fierce general, and he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so that such a person can threaten the Huns. But even they have to rely on their own strength, not to mention a bullshit general, that title is just a joke in the eyes of the Huns.
It's just that he looks down on Zhang Chao in his heart, but Cheng Ran didn't say it slyly, but laughed and said, "It turned out to be the general's people." Hehe, then we don't have to do it. You don't know, a while ago, my family Shan Yu also arranged for someone to consult with your general, and in the future, you and our Huns will live on this land, and we will become brothers. ”
