Chapter 112: Run for me
Before the second battle of Hexi began, the evil king of Hun Evil, who was the head of the kings of Hexi, first retreated, handed over his 5,000 soldiers and horses to the queen of the Han Dynasty, and led the soldiers and horses and the men, women and children of the tribe to retreat to the back of Qilian Mountain.
Be an onlooker.
King Hutu did not retreat without a fight like the King of Hun Evil, he resolutely led all the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and followed the new five kings of Hexi to the front line of Hexi, preparing to meet the Han army.
.......
The Hexi Corridor is full of green grass and herds of cattle and sheep.
The Han army, which had just retreated a month ago, once again set foot on Hexi, a treasure land with abundant water and grass and extremely important strategic value.
In this battle, Huo Qubing and Gongsun Ao led an army of 20,000 respectively to attack Hexi from two roads!
Just after crossing the Yellow River, Huo Qubing parted ways with Gongsun Ao, because Gongsun Ao attacked Hexi from the front, and he led the army back to the rear of the Xiongnu in Hexi, and the two were in a flank attack.
In this way, we will be able to defeat the Hexi Huns!
A full 20,000 men rode finely, following Huo Quai's horse and galloping on the continuous grassland, the red battle flag was waving in the wind, and the galloping sound of the war horse went straight into the nine skies, the momentum was magnificent, and the world was shocked!
Liu Che gave Huo Qubing the handsome flag that Liu Che gave to Huo Qubing in the First Battle of Hexi, which was fluttering at the forefront of the army at the moment, Zhou Xing held the flag, riding a horse and galloping beside Huo Quai, even if he was now the same as Qian Mingguang and became a school captain, but he was still doing the work of the flag bearer, without him, he could carry the flag for Huo Quai, which is what many people dream of.
Hehe, the current Huo Qubing is no longer the young boy who first entered the battlefield two years ago, and even needs to use his uncle's reputation to appease the soldiers.
A battle in Hexi completely turned him into the god of war of the Han Dynasty, and became the reason for many young people to join the army.
Sometimes, Zhou Xing will feel incredible when he thinks about it alone, he can be said to be a person who has witnessed the rise of Huo Quzhi, indeed, in terms of qualifications alone, Zhou Xing is indeed the oldest person in this army, during the battle of Monan, he fought with Huo Quzhi, and he can be regarded as one of the few veterans in Huo Quai's army.
Yes, there are only a few, after the first battle of Mo Nan with Huo Quai, the 800 elite cavalry who followed Huo Quai's first battle in Gaolan Mountain were almost wiped out, and only more than 20 people survived, and more than a dozen of them died on the way back to their hometown because of their injuries.
Zhou Xing is very lucky, he was lucky to survive the foot of Gaolan Mountain, which is enough to call Huo Qubing the most tragic battle in his life, which also means that he can always follow Huo Qubing and witness the legendary life of this young man.
Zhou Xing, who was holding the Huozi banner and driving his horse to the front of the army, turned his eyes to his diagonal front at this moment, wearing a red Han general tiger armor, a red robe, and the feathers on the helmet were whirring in the wind from the galloping horse.
Looking at this heroic young general, Zhou Xing's gaze was full of mixed feelings.
It's really unpredictable, how could I imagine it today, I thought that I would be the most powerful in my life and I would be able to be the military master of the Han Dynasty, but I didn't expect that it took me less than two years to become the captain of the Han Dynasty, and after this day, I ......
General, thank you.
Just as Zhou Xing sighed, Huo Quzhi, who was leading the army in front of him, suddenly turned his head and looked at him, on the crazy wind-chasing BMW, Huo Qubing frowned, and shouted, "Zhou Xing, send someone to see if there are any soldiers left behind, they have not received my Huo Quzhi's training, such a high-intensity march, there will definitely be people who can't support it." ”
"No."
Zhou Xinggang wanted to take people forward, but at this time, Zhao Ponu drove a war horse and suddenly rushed all the way from the queue in the rear of the army, and after driving the horse and Huo Qubing to stay in the same position, Zhao Ponu chuckled and said: "The general doesn't need to, Mingguang has already driven those soldiers back who have fallen behind." ”
Huo Quzhi was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This guy really didn't disappoint him, and he became better and better.
"Drive." Huo Quzhi raised his horsewhip and shouted happily: "Since this is the case, then let's add a little more difficulty to Mingguang and exercise this kid's ability to command the army!" ”
"Pass my command, the army will increase the speed of the march, give me full speed!"
"No!" As soon as Huo Quai's military order, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, and it lingered for a long time between this empty grassland.
.......
At the rear of the army, hundreds of Han horsemen who fell behind at the end of the queue because they couldn't stand the high-intensity march, one by one carried a thick stump and ran on foot behind the young captain's war horse.......
If they could, these people would rather go to the battlefield and fight the Huns than run like this.
These hundreds of soldiers were already out of breath because of the continuous march for a day and a night, and it is normal for them to accidentally fall behind.
But who would have thought that after this young lieutenant saw that he and the others were left behind because they were tired, instead of understanding them and letting them rest well, he let all of them get off their war horses, carry dozens of pounds of wooden stakes, and run behind his war horses...... How can it be so ruthless!
If anyone is lazy and slippery, or can't run, he will go up with a whip, and if he can't pull up a whip, he will continue to smoke, and when he gets up, when he is finished, it is terrifying.
In the ears of the hundreds of big men who carried big wooden stakes, ran on foot and rode at the rear, the voice of the young captain echoed all the time.
"Run, let me run quickly, isn't it tiring to ride a horse, then I'll let you run to Hexi for me with two legs!"
"Hurry up, hurry up for Ben General, if anyone falls, Ben will expel him from the Han Army now, if you don't want to suffer the white eyes of your parents and wives, just give Ben General all your strength, run!"
Hundreds of big men carrying large wooden stakes and moving fast on foot rode ...... Oh no, it's the center of the infantry now.
Straddle the war horse, holding a long whip in his hand, wearing a Han general's armor, Qian Mingguang's radiant spirit was particularly eye-catching, I saw him waving the long whip in his hand, loudly and angrily reprimanding the hundreds of Han soldiers who were physically exhausted, and from time to time waving the whip on the bodies of those fallen soldiers.
The whole person looks so stern and so intimidating.
Listening to Qian Mingguang's words, these big men were very angry, but they were really afraid that they would be expelled from the Han army and be looked at coldly by their relatives when they returned home, so they ...... One by one, they could only grit their teeth and desperately carry the big wooden stake forward.
The 20,000 troops that followed Huo Quai, each of them was almost the most courageous soldier in the Northern Han Army, but it was difficult for them to adapt to Huo Quai's marching speed without training, at the beginning, when they fell behind, they didn't take it too seriously, thinking that Huo Qubing would be considerate of them, so they were quite lazy not long ago.
Hehe, it's really whimsical, what is wrong with thinking, I actually want Huo Quai's guy to be considerate of you..... Alas.....
In fact, even if Huo Quzhi will be considerate of you, Qian Mingguang will not.
When he saw those big Han horses that fell behind, sitting on war horses, and swaying forward, Qian Mingguang was angry, and then it was easy to imagine, Qian Mingguang is now the captain of the big Han, and the rank far exceeds these soldiers who are the highest commanders, what he said, do these soldiers dare not listen?
And at that moment, Qian Mingguang also remembered the scene where he was once trained by Zhou Xing and Sun Ming, at the moment, no matter what, I'm still tired of riding a horse, okay, then I'll let you run to Hexi for me on two legs!
That's how disaster struck......
There's no way, you can't disobey the military order, that's going to kill your head, alas, run.......
About twenty minutes later, just when these hundreds of big men were about to pass out on the spot, Qian Mingguang suddenly saw that the soldiers of the Han army in front of him suddenly increased their speed, and at this time, the military order came.
"Full speed ahead!"
"Boom!" This military order is undoubtedly a shocking thunder for these hundreds of sweat-drenched, tired and half-dead big men riding horses, and some people were frightened by this military order on the spot, thinking that Qian Mingguang wanted them to speed up and continue to move forward on foot, which was really fatal!
Soon, the voice that had been a nightmare for the previous twenty minutes rang out again.
"Everyone get on the horse, this time, if anyone dares to fall to the rear of the army, General Ben will be the first to send him home to farm!"
As soon as Qian Mingguang's words fell, the next moment, he seemed to see hundreds of hurricanes blowing in front of him, only to see that the hundreds of big men rode at the first time they heard his military order, they all dropped the stakes on their shoulders, and jumped on the war horses one by one.
Good guy, this speed is screaming, and after a while, these hundreds of people actually rushed to the position of the Chinese army, and Qian Mingguang was speechless for a while, these people ..... These people ......
After thinking about it for a long time, Qian Mingguang only said one sentence in the end.
"It's really a bunch of cheap bones, you have to suffer a little crime to be willing to work hard, heh," Speaking of this, Qian Mingguang lowered his head and couldn't help laughing at himself, wasn't he like this before, a cheap bone, a guy who doesn't know how hard others don't use a whip.
"Drive," Soon, Qian Mingguang drove the war horse under his crotch and chased away.
A puff of dust kicked up on the spot, leaving a vague and indistinct back of the sturdy.
........
After crossing the Yellow River and after seven days of high-intensity marching, Huo Qubing first detoured northwest to Juyanze, and then turned southwest to Xiaoyueshi in Hexi, a mixed settlement of Han Chinese and ethnic minorities, also known as Yiconghu.
In fact, this is a vassal state of the Xiongnu in Hexi, and this is also the place where Huo Qubing trained his troops in the second battle of Hexi.
At this moment, outside the Xiaoyue tribe, the only three thousand Xiaoyue cavalry were trembling in a row on the grass outside the tribe, looking at the Han army in front of them in fear.
The 20,000 Han troops were neatly spread across the wilderness, and Huo Quai, who was at the forefront of the battle array, stood on his own wind-chasing horse, and walked back and forth in front of the military array.
looked at the Xiaoyue cavalry on the opposite side, who were already frightened before the battle, and then looked at the high-spirited Han soldiers under his command.
Huo Quzhi chuckled, and his eyes were full of light.
Hexi, I ........ Finally back.
