Chapter 274: Initiation
It has been a full month since they were followed by the Chi Hunters, and now that winter is about to begin, the cattle and sheep in the Tibetan Bahai Department not only did not lose weight, but lost weight in the continuous migration.
"Father, if you hide in Tibet like this, you will be dragged to death by the Han people sooner or later, so it is better to simply gather the warriors of the clan and fight with them!" Although the young patriarch said very hard, the expression on his face was a little dry, and he stayed on guard at night to guard against the sneak attack of the Han cavalry, and he couldn't rest for days, even the man with strong blood couldn't eat.
"If you want to fight, then you also have to fight with the enemy, these Han cavalry small groups of three or five horses, large groups of more than 100 horses, everywhere, the warriors leaned forward, a few hundred steps away they turned around and ran, we retreated, they followed again, the ghost is not gone, I don't know what to do. The second son pulled out the sea and waved the scimitar in his hand quite angrily.
Bahai Mu Zhi's face was gloomy, in order to avoid the tracking of the Han cavalry, the tribe has been migrating, the cattle and sheep have died in two, many old people and children, Bahai is estimated to not survive this winter, damn. The Han people who followed behind were simply like wolves, not fighting the warriors of the Bahai tribe at all, only staying far behind. According to the information obtained by the warriors who went out to investigate, there are traces of Han cavalry in the surrounding hundreds of miles, that is to say, the Bahai tribe cannot escape the eyes and ears of these Han cavalry no matter what. What we don't know is, what are these Han horses waiting for, or what is the fate of the Bahai tribe?
"If we continue like this, the tribe will be scattered. Bahai Mu Zhi said slowly, "Don't pay attention to those Han cavalry, rest on the spot for three days, and then set off after three days." ”
Two days later, Muzhi learned the result of his waiting, and the Han infantry army of about 5,000 people approached the camp of the Bahai puppet.
"Set up the stone thrower and the crossbow cart quickly. The spear battalion is armored and covers the bow and crossbow battalion to release arrows forward, the Mo knife battalion is ready to kill in, and the sword and shield battalion is responsible for setting fire. Lin Hong of the Jinfan Army looked at the continuous camp tent of the Bahai tribe, there were many women and children in it, and he gave orders skillfully and neatly, he originally thought that the Jinfan Army had no chance to make contributions, but with the new tactics proposed by Luo Youtong, the Jinfan Army became the main force in each attack on the grassland tribes, and the task of the Chi Hunting Army was to reconnoitre, track the Tubo tribes, and cut off the connection between the Tubo tribes near the battlefield. In the past month or so, the Jinfan Army has done many times to plow the court and sweep the caves, and each time it is more and more proficient, and the tribe without the protection of the city wall has only two fates in the face of the well-trained war machine.
"Wait for the envoys of the Huntsman to come back, the baggage battalion will drop stone bullets and fire oil bombs for the first time, and the Huntsman will send envoys to persuade them to surrender for the second time, if these barbarians are still stubborn, it will be our turn to do it. Zhou Yun, the commander of the Sword and Shield Battalion, said to Kangshan that the Anxi army had captured nearly 3,000 prisoners under the city of Liangzhou. Zhou Yun turned out to be the head of the forbidden army, and he played a good knife technique, and after joining the Anxi army under the city of Liangzhou, after more than a month of training, he was supplemented to the Jinfan saber and shield battalion.
"Big brother, do you say these Tibetan barbarians, do you want to surrender or not?" Although Zhou Yun's position in the army was only a ten-division commander, the old brother Kang Shan did not change his respect.
"The Tibetan barbarians don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, and after seeing the methods of the Wujin Fan Army, they are probably about to descend. Zhou Yun spit out a piece of gum with a "poof". Because he and Kang Shan are both naked men, they can't help but have a habit of spending money indiscriminately. This is a strange thing bought from a Hu merchant with the usual money before departure, Zhou Yun liked this thing very much after buying a piece, especially like to chew it for a while before the war, after chewing it with a piece of silk handkerchief, you can chew it again next time after washing.
Although he joined the Jinfan Army for a short time, and his official position was reduced from the head of the original forbidden army to the commander of the ten, Zhou Yun had some sense of belonging and pride in the Anxi Army. The battles of sweeping away the Tubo tribe have been pulled down, sometimes Zhou Yun feels like Xue Rengui in the drama to conquer the west, three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain, invincible, the route for the promotion of officers in the Anxi Army is also very simple and clear, martial arts, meritorious service, popularity, Zhou Yun feels that his position still has a good chance to move up.
The white flag galloping hunting army envoy soon returned, bringing the answer of the Bahai tribe, the patriarch Bahai Muzhi was willing to sacrifice half of the women and livestock, as long as the Anxi army opened the road, the tribe would migrate far to the plateau south of Dafeichuan. After being caught up by the Han army, Bahai Mou couldn't stop cursing himself in his heart, why did he want to covet the abundant water and grass in the river and stay, and now he can't leave even if he wants to go. However, this answer has only one meaning for Luo Youtong, the commander of the Chi Hunting Army.
"General Lin, it seems that there is still going to be a Lao Jinfan army. Luo Youtong looked at the panicked tribal herdsmen lying on the fence in the distance and looking at the Han army's military formation, and more than 5,000 tribal men on healthy horses gathered next to the tribal camp with weapons, but they only crossed their horses and did not dare to take the initiative to attack the Jinfan army's military formation. "There are 20,000 people in this tribe, and if you clean it up, there will be no big Tubo tribe in the north of Qingtang City. Lin Hong said slowly, turned around and ordered the baggage battalion to start throwing stone projectiles and fierce fire oil canisters, while the heavy infantry battalion and the bow and crossbow battalion were ready to step forward. The surrounding cavalry of the Chi Hunting Army also began to gather a thousand troops, preparing to counterattack the Tubo cavalry that was charging into the infantry formation.
Hundreds of catapults were launched at the same time, covering the blow to the tribal camp, such a power is not comparable to the bow and crossbow, especially in the middle of the bullets thrown by these catapults, there are also a large number of clay pots filled with fire oil, the lead has been ignited before the projectile, flashing bright and extinguished sparks in the air, stuck to the ground, is a pool of flowing oil, smashed on the tent, and suddenly there are old and weak women and children screaming and running out in panic. The solid stone bullets kept smashing the earth to tremble slightly, and occasionally people and animals couldn't dodge, which was the end of the brains bursting and the tendons being broken.
His ears were filled with the wails of his clansmen, and several of his cronies and nobles all looked at him with begging eyes, and he closed his eyes in pain. If there are 10,000 cavalry troops, Bahai Muzhi can still lead the warriors of the clan to fight in the last battle, and he will die a little like this, but the Han army's way of fighting will burn the entire camp to ashes, and he will not pay a single casualty, and the clansmen will die in vain. Rushing to the Han army's infantry formation was also sent to death. Scattered fleeing is even more impossible. If you abandon the old and weak, women and children, and lead thousands of warriors who can ride horses to break through, not to mention whether they can escape, it is impossible for most of the clansmen to leave their wives and children to escape alone.
