Chapter 68: The Northeast Dogfight 28

readx;

Although Zabekh and the other remnants of the Donghu tribe leaders decided to attack the Xiongnu camp, they were also nomadic peoples. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info They all know that this task is not so easy to accomplish.

Because even if King Zuo Xian transferred the main force out to fight, it did not mean that the Hun camp was left behind by a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

On the contrary, even if the living forces of the Hun camp were basically exhausted, and the rest were only the old, weak, women and children, but these people still had a certain combat ability. And there is one thing that Zabekh and others also understand, that is, if they attack the Hun camp by themselves, even if everything goes well, they will not have much time for them.

It is very likely that once the Huns' Zuo Xian King knew that his camp was attacked, he might directly lead his army back to help. If that happens, it's not a good thing for them. Because they may fall into the old and weak left by the Huns in the camp and delay in the camp, and then the king of Zuoxian, who comes to help, may be able to come to a "urn to catch turtles".

If this really happens, Zabekh himself knows what will happen to himself and the last remnants of the Donghu people's combat effectiveness.

Perhaps, in turn, they could drag the Huns into their own camps, waiting for the Qin army to flank them. However, Zabekh did not think that his officers and soldiers would be able to support the arrival of the Qin army.

So, Zabekh thought about how they should fight and not just rush forward.

And Zabekh didn't have much to do for a while, but he set his eyes on the young Donghu man, and asked the other party for a while: "I don't know how we can attack the Hun camp to be more efficient."

Zabehe's move surprised many Donghu tribal leaders, because for them, Zabehe's behavior was undoubtedly a little blue-eyed to this young man.

But they didn't make it too obvious for a while, because they didn't have a good way to deal with such a situation.

And the young leader of the Donghu tribe thought about it after being stunned for a moment. Said what he thought:

"Lords, Lords, with the strength we have at the moment, there is no doubt that it is impossible to get anything more. Because even if we get a lot of Hun prisoners, we can't easily take them away, but will be easily chased by the Huns. I think it should be clear to everyone that once such a situation arises. What will happen to you? ”

After hearing the words of this young Donghu man, everyone, including Zabehe, couldn't help but nod slightly. Because they were really interested in something, for example, the young children of the Huns were the best slaves.

But as the young Donghu man said, these people are not so easy to take away, and the speed of escape with them is not too fast.

It is very likely that they will be chased by the troops of the Huns.

Although they didn't want such an opportunity to be lost, they didn't want their fate to be miserable.

Therefore, many people, even if they are children who plan to kidnap the Huns, have to let go of this kind of thought. Because compared to these slaves. Their own lives are undoubtedly more important.

However, for this young Donghu man, he had another idea before he paused for a while: "Not only that, what we need is not to kill too many Huns, but to destroy the Hun camp, so we must take fire attacks." ”

Hearing this, Zabekh said with some incomprehension: "Even if it is to destroy the camp of the Huns." We can't recover the decline and kill more people."

"King, we don't have much strength to fight again at the moment, and it is not good for us to really fight the Huns. Even if we have the help of the Qin people. However, the Qin people had too many infantry and could not give us much help in the battle against the Huns, and it is very likely that if the Huns were pressed, the Huns would fight with us endlessly, and for us, even with the help of the Qin people. We're not going to end up too well. ”

After this young Donghu tribal leader finished saying this, he looked at Zabekh and waited for the other party's decision.

And Zabekh, after thinking about it, finally nodded, he looked at the young Donghu man, and said a sentence: "Your name is"

"My name, my name is Angels, my lord. ”

Dividing line

While the fierce battle between the Qin army and the Xiongnu continued, dusk was gradually turning into night.

However, for the Hun camp, which was about ten miles southwest of the battlefield, there were almost endless tents, and the smoke of cooking continued to rise into the sky.

As Ingres speculated, because the battle was not going well, the Huns' Zuo Xian King had already mobilized the living forces left in the camp to the battlefield at noon.

However, what King Zuo Xian of the Huns did not expect was that this transfer would become one of the most important reasons for his defeat in this great battle.

Of course, strictly speaking, he cannot be blamed for this situation, because even Zabekh would not have imagined that the war would evolve to such a point.

And at this time, to the east of the Huns' camp, a group of riders kept speeding up and rushed to this camp.

Because the Huns did not have the habit of building wooden fences around the camp tents, especially on the periphery of such a large camp, building wooden fences is undoubtedly a very huge work, so the periphery of many small camps is more just to let some young and strong camp tents for peripheral defense.

But because of this, even if the Huns found out that there seemed to be something wrong with the riders rushing towards their camp, but the camp that did not even have the simplest means of defense, and the living forces in the camp were all drained, this large number of knights rushed directly into the camp, constantly slashing and killing the Huns who fled in a panic.

After the forward knights rushed into the Hun camp, the subsequent Donghu riders put the wooden poles wrapped in leather cloth in their hands in the Hun bonfire, and when the leather cloth of these wooden poles was ignited, these Donghu riders set the wooden poles in their hands on fire to the tents in the Hun camp.

As the area of control of the Donghu riders became larger and larger, in addition to more and more old and weak Huns who could not evade or came to intercept were killed, more and more Hun tents and simple tents where cattle lived were set on fire.

Soon, smoke appeared in the camp, much denser than the smoke of the cooking, gathering together and rising into the sky.

Zabekh did not rush to the camp with his men. Instead, looking at the Hun camp where the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and listening to the screams that seemed to be becoming less and less obvious, his heart could be said to be very complicated.

This counterattack against the Huns, although it is not a frontal battle with the Huns, there is no doubt that there is no doubt that there is only one way for them to do better at the moment. He knows. What was the order he had given himself, that is, he had let his subordinates block the Huns in their way. Kill them all, burn everything that can be burned in their vicinity, and drive or kill all the Huns' livestock.

This kind of order is a kind of order that Zabekh has been difficult to give before, or it is said that Zabekh himself did not think that he would also give such an order.

Because for Zabekh, there is no doubt that it is these dead people. These supplies, as well as these livestock, should have been the property of him and the brave Donghu warriors.

But it is because of this order that these possessions have now become worthless.

Seeing the growing fire and the seemingly chaotic Hun camp, Zabekh said that he did not feel sorry for this "loss", and it was a lie that he did not believe, but Zabekh knew very well that this was indeed not the time to dwell on such a thing. For if they covet these things. The remnants of the Huns who returned to the aid were enough to kill them all in this steppe that was once under their control.

He seemed to be sorry, and seemed to be looking at the fire in the camp with some excitement, and seemed to be thinking about something in his heart

For Angel, he became the temporary commander of this operation at the behest of Zabekh. It can be said that it was indeed unexpected by him.

But after seeing Zabekh's firm expression and the fact that the other people, despite their complicated expressions, did not explicitly oppose it, Ingreh finally accepted Zabekh's appointment.

It's not that Ingres is a little difficult to do with this kind of appointment, on the contrary, this kind of appointment is considered by Ingres to be a better stage for him to show his abilities.

Angel didn't tell anyone else, that is, a few years ago, he had been with a Qin man who was taken in by his grandfather. Teach some knowledge.

If this kind of teaching is known by Zhang Jiashi, it is more just that the other party has accepted more of an enlightenment that does not have too practical significance.

But what even Zhang Jiashi and the person who taught him didn't know was that Angel had become a kind of person who liked to think about how he should do better when dealing with things.

If Zhang Jiashi knew about this change, he might think of a sentence that makes sense, that is, enlightenment education can indeed affect a person's way of thinking in some aspects.

As for Angels, although his father disappeared during his trip south that year, this situation did not affect him too much. Because he didn't think that the Qin people had done anything wrong in this regard, because he could understand one thing, that is, in war, there were no innocent people.

So in the following years, after his grandfather also died of illness, he depended on his sister, and then, with the rest of the tribe, participated in the war against the Huns and resisted the invasion of the Huns.

The first time he killed a Hunn, he had a normal reaction, but as he fought more and more, he behaved more and more like a passing nomadic warrior.

In a great battle a year ago, his tribe and other Donghu tribes were defeated by the Huns, and Angel, seeing that the situation was not good, directly led the people of the same tribe nearby, directly from the weak area of the Huns, and returned to his tribal camp first, taking with him those who the tribe was willing to follow him away.

He wanted to convince more people to leave, but reason told him that what he had to do now was not to waste time, but to take everyone who was willing to leave.

As for the people who stay, what will happen to them, Angels himself can indeed imagine, but since the other party is unwilling to leave, and he does not have the ability to let the other party leave in a short time, then the fate of these people is not something he can change.

So, after this, Angel took the remnants of the tribesmen who were willing to follow him and settled down in the area of the original settlement of the Donghu people, that is, the area of Zabekh's current base camp.

After this, he became the leader of this tribe, because Ingres's way of doing things on the way he led the others to migrate, which further convinced them of Ingres.

Perhaps the strength of the tribe that Ingres currently controls is very weak, but because Ingre, as a tribal leader, his way of thinking is not fixed in the framework of the slavery system, he chooses some methods that he thinks can effectively improve the living standards of the tribesmen from the many things he knows about the Great Qin Empire, and govern and improve the ability level of the tribesmen under his command.

I have to say that there are really not many things that Angel can do, but there is no doubt that Angel's tribe has become a small tribe that has significantly improved its overall level in a year or so.

During this period of development, although Ingres was reluctant to admit it, he himself understood that it was an undeniable fact that other tribes preferred the culture of the Qin people in their evaluation of him.

Perhaps, if Zhang Jiashi knew about Ingre's situation, maybe he would give this Ingres a title

A person who can be assimilated as an alien person.

In this battle, Ingres did not kill the enemy himself, but followed the others into the camp of the Huns, under the protection of several riders of the same tribe.

For Ingres, this operation was half successful, because, as he speculated, the defensive forces of the Hun camp had become rather weak because of the judgment of the Xiongnu Zuoxian.

But Ingres was not so reassured, he looked up at the gradually setting sun in the west, and nodded lightly: "Perhaps, it's time to retreat." "To be continued.
