Chapter 341: The Hu people divide their troops
"The Governor of Dadu, Chen Feng, the magistrate of Jinghe County, got the method of making mines and grenades from overseas aliens, and they planted a lot of mines outside the city before the Hu people came to attack......," Gao Yuan explained.
"What is a landmine? What is a grenade again? Han Fei asked suspiciously.
"The last general only got some grenades, I don't know what a mine is, I heard Lord Chen say that a mine can kill and injure a Hu person within a radius of ten zhang, and a grenade volley explosion can kill and injure a Hu person within a radius of five zhang." Gao Yuan said.
"General Gao, how many grenades did you bring back?" Han Fei asked.
"Metropolitan Governor, the lower officials only got more than a hundred grenades." After Gao Yuan finished speaking, he asked people to bring a few grenades, and when he said goodbye to the people of Jinghe County, he cheekily begged for some grenades.
"This is a grenade?" Han Fei asked curiously.
Gao Yuan nodded, and asked more than a dozen of his subordinates to tie dozens of straw men with wheat stalks.
"How do I use it?" Han Fei asked.
"Governor, pull off this lead and throw it out......" Gao Yuan picked up a grenade and demonstrated it himself.
I saw him tear off the lead and throw it at the straw man, and the grenade flew out with the green smoke.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the broken porcelain pieces that exploded scattered like no shadow.
More than 20 straw men were knocked down by the air waves, and the wheat stalks on each straw man were also cut off by broken porcelain pieces.
"It's so powerful, it's close, even if the martial artist doesn't die, he will be seriously injured!" Han Fei's scalp was numb and said.
"Report!" A pony ran panting.
"What's the matter?" Han Fei asked expressionlessly.
"Dadu Governor, the 150,000 Hu people coalition army has been divided into six routes...... "Tanma hurriedly said.
"Revisit." Han Fei said.
"Yes!" The probe nodded in response, turned and mounted the horse and galloped away.
"Dadu Governor, as you expected, the Hu people have divided their troops." Wang Meng said.
"The purpose of the Hu people going south is nothing more than food and population, and the eighteen Hu tribes fighting together seem to be invincible, but in fact there are many drawbacks, such as the problem of resource distribution, which is their irreconcilable contradiction." Han Fei said.
"Governor, what are we going to do?" Wang Meng asked.
"Gao Yuan, Li Zhe!" Han Fei shouted.
"In!" The two replied loudly.
"Each of you will bring 10,000 cavalry and ambush the Hu people on the road back to the grassland, and the governor of Pontus will let all the Hu people who invade this time stay in the fertile soil of the Great Xia Empire." Han Fei said.
"Yes!" Gao Yuan and Li Zhe responded in unison.
"Wang Meng, Xiao Tie." Han Fei shouted.
"In!" The two replied loudly.
"The two of you will take the troops back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain...... Cooperate with the governor of Pontus and annihilate the 30,000 Hu people first. Han Fei said.
"Yes!" Wang Meng and Xiao Tie nodded in response.
Outside the wild boar forest, the Hungarian barbarians, the Heiyuan tribe, and the Xiannu tribe camped here.
When attacking the county seat, the Hu people suffered many casualties, and when they plundered the outside of the city, they had no losses.
At this moment, there are still more than 28,000 people left in the three Hu tribes that have formed an alliance to plunder.
"As long as you don't attack the county seat, those people of Daxia outside the city have no combat effectiveness at all, and instead of dragging each other down and delaying the speed of looting, it is better to divide the troops into three ways." The Hungarian patriarch Sukel proposed.
"If it is divided into three, there are only more than 9,000 cavalry in each division, and once it is surrounded by the Great Xia army, most of them will be wiped out." The patriarch of the Xiannu clan, Habat, said with a hesitant expression.
"We are cavalry, we can run if we can't fight, I agree to fight separately." Ilmo, the patriarch of the Black Plains, said.
"Only when the soldiers are divided into three ways can there be no contradictions!" Sucker said.
"Yes, each according to his ability, plunder, lest it be unevenly distributed." Ilmo said.
The three of them divided the food and population they had grabbed, and then parted ways, each choosing a direction.
The territory of Daxia is not a grassland, and the Hu people, who are unfamiliar with the land, can only rely on the sun to discern the direction.
They robbed everywhere, except when they were eating and sleeping, their locations were changing, and they had no way to deliver news.
The eighteen Hu tribes in Qingshan County, who did not know that the Hu people in Dashengguan and Jinghe County had been completely wiped out, and they had been blinded by successive victories and lost their due reason.
In the eyes of the patriarchs of the Hu tribes, the cost of attacking the county seat is too great, and the people of Daxia outside the city have no power to fight back, and this autumn harvest has just ended, and the grain is in the people's homes, and it is most suitable for them to loot the outside of the city.
If they weren't worried about being surrounded and annihilated, they could have plundered the people of Daxia outside the city in groups of thousands, or even hundreds.
The other five Hu people, successively divided into three, under the leadership of their respective patriarchs, went around killing, burning and looting.
Not long after, Wang Meng's department, which was heading to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, stopped with an angry expression.
"What's going on?" Wang Meng rode forward and asked with a frown.
"Look, General." Captain Huang Feihu said.
I saw that the camp where the Hu people were stationed before was full of bones, and looking at its shape, it was obvious that it was human bones.
"The hateful Hu people dare to feed on the people of Great Xia, pass the order down, and when they meet the Hu people, they will not leave a single one!" The king said angrily.
In the previous invasions of the Hu people in the south, the men of Bactria were either eaten or captured as slaves in the grassland. Among the women of Great Xia, both the old woman and the little girl would be eaten, and the young woman would be reduced to the fertility tools of the Hu people.
The Hu people went south to fight the grass valley, and they always fought quickly, invaded during the autumn harvest, and retreated before the winter.
In total, there were only more than two months, and in order to plunder more people and food, the old people and children who delayed the march were their meat, and only young men and women would be brought back to the grasslands.
The able-bodied people of Great Xia could help them transport the looted supplies, and the young women could breed offspring for them.
Horses, cattle and sheep are the foundation of the Hu people, when they invade, they will not kill horses and eat meat unless they have to, and the meat in Daxia cannot meet their needs, so when they want to eat meat, they will use knives against the people of Daxia.
In the eyes of the Hu people, the people of Daxia are two-legged sheep, their meat!
"General, shall we catch up?" Huang Feihu asked with murderous intent.
"Target Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, full speed ahead." Wang Meng gritted his teeth and shouted, he also wanted to catch up and kill the Hu people and avenge the dead people, but he only had 10,000 cavalry now, and he still had to complete the task assigned by the Governor.
Jinghe County, among the county mansions.
"Sir, there are 80,000 grenades and 5,000 mines." Anne said.
"I see." Chen Yu nodded, turned around and walked towards the county office.
"Lord Chen." Zhu Zhengfei shouted.
"Dian Zhu, this official is going to take three hundred elite soldiers to the direction of Qingshan County, exterminate the remaining Hu people, and the safety of the county will be handed over to you." Chen Yu said.
"Lord Chen, you are not in the county seat, and the lower officials have no bottom in their hearts." Zhu Zhengfei hesitated.
"Lord Chen, lead the soldiers out of the county seat without permission...... Once impeached, it can be a big problem. Zhao Zhiyuan said.
"It is everyone's responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, if you don't destroy the Hu people, how can the people return home?" Chen Yu said awe-inspiringly.
"Lord Chen, it's better to ...... in the name of suppressing bandits," Ma Wencai proposed.
"This is a good idea, this official will leave you 50,000 grenades and 5,000 mines, can you hold the county seat?" Chen Yu said.
"Swear to live and die with the county!" The three of them said as if they were dead.
"Very good, the county seat is handed over to you, and this official will lead the troops out to suppress the bandits early tomorrow morning!" Chen Yu said with a smile.
