Chapter 405: The Progress of the Gao Huan Division
Gao Huanbu, who had gone deep into the grassland, stopped for a while and then continued to advance, and the four thousand people rampaged through the grassland, without encountering an opponent for a while.
At the beginning, they also encountered several small tribes, Gao Huan was not merciful to them, except for women and children, all the men were killed, and the cattle, sheep and horses were basically brought.
Although Gao Huan knew that the news of letting go of this group of women and children would soon spread around, Gao Huan still did not choose to kill them all.
The same is true for the soldiers under his hands, they can kill Rouran men without blinking their eyes, but let them swing their long knives at those old and weak, they can't do it.
Gao Huan saw too many women's helplessness and children's hateful eyes, and in the face of these people, Gao Huan bluntly said that they would one day come to him for revenge.
The news of the 4,000 people led by Gao Huan on the grassland spread not long after, because they were currently far away from the direction of the Rouran Royal Court, and this place was not a place with abundant water and grass, so none of the people they could meet along the way were big tribes.
And after exterminating the three small tribes, Gao Huan obviously found that it would be difficult to meet these small tribes again, and they should have received the news and deliberately avoided them.
Gao Huan is not in a hurry for this, and the income will only be higher all the way.
In the early morning of this day, the scouts sent out from the front sent back the news that a Rouran tribe had been discovered about fifty miles northeast of the army, and it was estimated that there were five thousand men, women, and children combined.
After successive victories, Gao Huan and his subordinates were very excited to meet these small tribes again. Although the extermination of these small tribes was dispensable to Rouran, the meaning was completely different to these four thousand people, especially when it was found that it was a medium-sized tribe this time.
Probably most of the men were conscripted to the battlefield, so that the forces left behind became extremely weak, and because of this, Gao Huan gave them an opportunity.
A 5,000-strong tribal guard force would have at least 1,500 people, but this would not be difficult for Gao Huan to deal with.
After getting the news, because he had been exposed around the grassland, Gao Huan did not immediately order it in order to prevent it from being a trap. He ordered the scouts in front to keep a close eye on the movements of the tribe, and on the other side, he sent two more teams to the rear of the tribe from the left and right to closely probe for the rest of the Rouran soldiers within a radius of fifty miles.
The army waited from early morning until nightfall, and it was only after it was determined that this was a lonely tribe that Gao Huan ordered an attack.
Tonight, the tribe was very lively, men, women and children sat around the campfire, singing and dancing, and there were other wizards in strange shapes, with red and green oil paint on their faces doing strange movements.
Gao Huan and others who were ambushed on the top of the mountain watched this scene with relish, and some of them explained that this was the method of worshipping the god of the grassland by the Rouran tribe, hoping to bless the whole year with good weather.
Men, women and children sang and danced, and the scene was so cheerful.
Beside Gao Huan, Jun Sima Hua smiled and said, "I don't know if they will be able to laugh later."
Gao Huan also smiled when he heard this: "Later, when they are almost drunk, listen to my orders." It is still the same, not one man is left, and no woman or child is killed."
After Gao Huan gave the order, everyone around him responded in a low voice.
When the strangely dressed wizard had finished his work, seven or eight more women in bearded clothes walked to the center of the crowd.
Although the temperature of the grassland is still cold on the night of early spring, these women are dancing in long dresses with open shoulders and waists.
Although several women are wearing tulle, it can be seen from the silhouette that several of them are good-looking, which will inevitably provoke people to take a few more looks, and even Gao Huan has taken a fancy to the girl in the center who leads the dance at a glance.
Hua Manting looked around and saw that everyone was looking straight, so he smiled and said, "Everyone wiped their saliva, haven't you seen a girl?"
Because they are all from their own families, they are not hypocritical, and some people laughed and said: "Hua Sima, of course the girl has seen it, but there are few such good-looking girls, and people will give us more cheers for dancing."
Later, someone chimed in: "This gentle woman is really more flavorful than the girl of our Great Wei. Tut-tut, this waist, this ass, at first glance, it is easy to give birth."
Hua Manting is not angry in this person's head
After knocking on it, he laughed and scolded, "Is there any interest? Can't you learn from our General Gao and sit still? General, general......"
Hua Manting shouted several times in a row, but Gao Huan didn't realize it.
The soldiers below couldn't help but laugh when they saw that their general didn't respond, and it wasn't until the people around them couldn't help laughing that Gao Huan realized that Hua Manting was shouting about himself.
Gao Huan was not embarrassed, and said with a straight smile: "It doesn't hurt to look at it twice, it's just to satisfy your cravings." But remember, we're not the dogs of Rouran, and we'll all take care of ourselves after the fight starts."
The people around him laughed and said, "Don't worry, General, we still have measure."
In this way, the 4,000 people of Gao Huan's department were buried outside the mountain for a long time.
During this period, Gao Huan's gaze has never stayed on the woman in the center, and it is the beautiful woman who attracts attention.
A few women don't seem to get tired of singing and dancing, while others sit around drinking and talking, and the grassland is full of joy.
Half an hour later, several women in the center of the crowd stopped dancing, and the onlookers shouted Mo Ke, like the name of one of the girls.
Several girls also leaned over to thank them.
The girl named Mo Ke got up and looked into the distance, and she stopped looking at the dark mountain, and at that moment Gao Huan seemed to feel that the eyes of the two people collided together.
Almost without hesitation, Gao Huan immediately ordered an attack, and for a while, all the cavalry swarmed towards the Rouran tribe.
At first, the Rouran, who were still immersed in the euphoria, were unaware of the approaching danger, and they only noticed the commotion outside the camp.
And when Gao Huan's department approached, under the light of the fire, a human head fell to the ground, and it was only then that they realized that the noise was actually from a group of cavalry, the Great Wei cavalry.
Four thousand people were swordsman, and by the time the Rouran people reacted, it was already too late.
The men in the tribe were slashed and killed by the Great Wei soldiers before they even had time to resist, and tonight was destined to be a one-sided massacre.
Four thousand cavalry slashed back and forth in the camp, and in less than an hour, the adult males of the tribe were slaughtered by Gao Huan's department, and the remaining more than 1,000 women, children and children who remained in fear were surrounded in the center of the tribe, waiting for Gao Huan's disposal.
Gao Huan, who was sitting on the horse, turned over and dismounted, and he deliberately walked to the bonfire so that these Rouran people could see his appearance clearly.
Although Gao Huan knew that these people could not understand his words, he still shouted, "The person who killed your father and husband is me, I am from Great Wei, and my name is Gao Huan. If one day you have the ability, welcome to seek revenge from me."
After that, Gao Huan waved his knife to cut off the banner of the tribe, and a tribe perished.
It's just that as soon as Gao Huan's voice fell, a Chinese dialect that was not proficient in books suddenly came from the crowd, "General of Great Wei, you can't slaughter these women and children anymore."
These days, what Gao Huan hears the most is the curse of the Rouran man before he dies, although Gao Huan can't understand it, he can vaguely feel that it is not a good word.
And today it is not only a woman who has opened her mouth, but she can also speak Chinese.
Gao Huan, who was a little surprised, looked up when she heard this, and it turned out to be the girl who danced before, and now she looked even more beautiful when she lifted her veil.
Mo Ke is now dressed, she walked in front of Gao Huan from the crowd, and there were people around who wanted to stop her, but Gao Huan waved her hand to signal that she didn't need to.
Gao Huan didn't plan to slaughter in the first place, but Mo Ke didn't know.
Seeing Mo Ke walking in front of him, Gao Huan smiled and said, "Why do you think you can negotiate terms with me? Have you ever had such mercy when you took my Wei border people captive year after year?"
Saying that, Gao Huan looked at the frightened women and children and sneered.
Mo Ke also knew that she was at a loss when she heard this, but she still said, "But these people have not killed the people of Great Wei, not a single one."
Gao Huan looked at this somewhat innocent woman and smiled slightly, "They haven't killed them, but it doesn't mean that their husbands and fathers haven't killed them."
As he spoke, Gao Huan's long knife pointed at a young man with fierce eyes, and then he looked at Mo Ke and said, "Look at him,
His eyes are full of anger and unwillingness, if he grows up, he will definitely point the finger at me Dawei, don't you think you are persuading me to let the tiger return to the mountain?"
Gao Huan's every word hit Mo Ke directly, and Mo could see that he couldn't say that Gao Huan couldn't move, but he cried all of a sudden.
She whimpered, "General, I promise you, as long as you let them go, I'll go with you."
Gao Huan slapped her up and down when he heard this, and finally smiled deliberately, "You come with me? What would it do me to do with you such a burden?"
Mo Ke said, "I must be useful to the general, please trust me." I just hope that the general will spare these ignorant people."
The girl's family was talking and suddenly the pear blossoms brought rain, and Gao Huan also felt that the joke didn't need to go on, so he smiled and said, "That's okay, it just so happens that I'm too tired to march and lack a maid to warm the bed."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding subordinates all laughed, and one by one coaxed the general to say that the general was blessed.
When Mo Ke heard this, she immediately took a step back and covered her chest, she looked at Gao Huan with a little vigilance and said, "I can go with the general, but the general can't do anything to me."
Seeing this, Gao Huan didn't continue to talk nonsense, he made his attitude clear and said, "Girl, I have no interest in you, nor do I have any interest in these women, children, old and young, and I never planned to kill them from the beginning. It is enough for me to burn their tents and take their cattle and sheep captive, but it is up to them to live or not."
After Gao Huan finished speaking, he planned to get on the horse and take everyone away, but Mo Xian suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Gao Huan's arm, and she said, "General, since I promised you, then now I am your hostage."
When Gao Huan heard this, he only felt that this woman who had learned Chinese was a dead brain, Gao Huan said: "Girls don't need it, I didn't plan to kill them, and I didn't plan to kidnap you, so you can do whatever you want."
After speaking, Gao Huan wanted to let go of her hand, but found that Mo Ke held it tighter, Gao Huan said viciously, "You're not afraid to kill you?"
Mo Ke tilted his head and stared at Gao Huan and said, "If the general wants to kill him, he will kill him."
The girl's expression was resolute, and there was no fear in the slightest.
Gao Huan chuckled and said, "Then I'll tell you now, you don't have to be my prisoner, that's enough."
But I didn't expect this girl to still not let go when she heard this, she was like relying on Gao Huan, Mo Ke stubbornly said: "Even if the general says don't you, but Mo Ke has to keep his word, I am now your prisoner."
Gao Huan originally wanted to refuse again, but Hua Manting on the side said that Gao Huan might as well take this person with him, and Hua Manting always felt that it would come in handy in the future.
Gao Huan then looked at Mo Ke and said, "Your name is Mo Ke?"
Mo Ke nodded.
Gao Huan continued, "Can you ride a horse?"
Mo Ke continued to nod.
Gao Huan smiled and said, "Then from now on, you will be a prisoner of Great Wei, get on your horse and go."
