Chapter Seventy-Six: A Great Victory
Bows and arrows, sabers, maces and other various tattered weapons were captured, and as for the floating wealth such as gold and silver, Lu Bu ordered it to be distributed on the spot, and all departments had rewards, and even Wu Anguo, the scout of the rear army who did not participate in the war, also received some rewards.
The army was stationed, buried in the pot to make food, slept until midnight and was woken up, leaving Li Su to lead hundreds of cavalry to guard the wounded and prisoners, and the others all got on the horses.
The caravan guide pointed to the front: "There is the base camp of the Dawu tribe, and Shopkeeper Chen and the others are locked inside." β
Lu Bu looked at Yu Ban, who was a military advisor on this trip.
Yu Ban immediately proposed: "Lord, I want to fight like this, we don't know the situation in the enemy's camp, and even if we win a rash break-in, we will suffer too many casualties, and what we want is not to annihilate all the Dawubu, but to make them surrender." It's better to send hundreds of people to lure the enemy, lure the enemy's elite out, and annihilate it in a battle, and the battle will be considered a complete victory. β
Lu Bu nodded: "It makes sense, Hao Meng, bring a few hundred cavalry over to lure the enemy, and you must not let the enemy see the flaws." β
"My lord, just look at it."
The army changed horses, and each got a spare horse.
Hao Meng led the war horses, led three hundred cavalry to pounce on the enemy's camp, this is the autumn pasture of the Dawu people, now is the time for cattle, sheep and horses to fatten, each family is preparing meat for the winter.
The sound of horses' hooves woke up the people in the tent, and the feathered arrows flew in the sky and landed on the grass and tents. Disrupted the horses, disturbed the sheep.
The warriors of the tribe who had just rushed out were hit by feathered arrows, and it was obvious that this was a group of skilled men with bows and horses.
"Chief, the enemy has come."
"What, how many enemies?"
"Not much, about two or three hundred, but they are very good at archery.
Daou pushed away the woman beside him, and one rolled through the leather armor, picked up a scimitar and a bow and arrows, and went out.
The tribe was in chaos, full of children crying, women shouting, and sporadic wars.
"Bastard, two or three hundred enemies will mess up our tribe, are you people all waste, immediately assemble and rush out to destroy them."
The horns of the Dawu people sounded, and the whining horn was very short, and soon more than 2,000 tribal warriors gathered, one by one, they got on their horses with scimitars, and rushed out of the tribe with Dau.
Outside, Hao Meng saw the enemy coming out, whistled, and led the team to retreat.
Daou was furious: "Come if you want, go if you want." Wolf cubs, kill them. β
More than 2,000 tribal warriors followed, rushing forward.
At this moment, the sky is hazy, and it is not yet completely dawn.
Hao Meng led the army to run over, and saw dozens of strong lights shooting from both sides of the hillside, which were more dazzling than the sun.
The tribal warriors were defenseless and temporarily blinded.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in my ribs, and the feather arrow pierced through my body.
Da Wuyun is not a tribal leader, one turned over and came to the side of the horse.
But most of the warriors under his command are finished, this is rushing into a trap, and there are too many people who fall from their horses with dense feathered arrows.
The warriors behind couldn't bear the huge casualties and turned around and ran, but did they run?
Knights in iron armor followed, and their feathered arrows were so powerful that tribal warriors continued to fall.
Lu Bu shook the halberd in his hand and roared to the sky: "Rush." β
The generals pounced like sharp arrows, and the remnants of the enemy quickly disappeared into the tide.
The army rushed into the tribe, and LΓΌ Bu found Chen Tie from the tribe's tent.
Chen Tie obviously suffered a lot, and the clothes on his body were all torn.
Blood marks are all over the body, and this recovery ability is also amazing.
When they saw Lu Bu, Chen Tie and the guys were stunned.
"Lord Thorn, why are you here?"
Chen Tie couldn't believe his eyes, he was just a caravan leader, he didn't expect Lu Bu to come to save him in person.
"Those who offend me in Qingzhou will be punished even if they are far away."
A total of thirty caravan members were rescued, and they burst into tears of excitement one by one.
The day dawned, and the sun shone on the grassland.
The battle is over, the battle of the Dau tribe is completely over.
Dawu was tied up with five flowers, and most of the warriors who charged under his command were killed in battle, and only about 500 people were captured, plus those captured yesterday, there were only about 1,100 people in total.
It is gratifying that Lu Bu's army did not go on a killing spree, women, children, and old people are still there, looking at the tiger and wolf army in front of them in a panic.
Dawu was pushed up by the soldiers, and Lu Bu asked with a smile: "Dawu, are you convinced?" β
"Lao Tzu is not convinced, you southern barbarians like to use stratagems, and you have the courage to let me go, I will move the rescuers, and then we will fight brightly."
"Okay, don't put gold on your face, just you, how many rescuers can you move?"
"Hmph, the eagle has claws, the tiger has teeth, I have friends in Dawu, and the army of three or five thousand can still be invited."
As I counted the results of the battle just now, there were more than 30,000 horses in the tribe, which was originally more, but they killed them for winter meat storage.
There are more than 8,000 cattle, more than 1,000 camels, and about 100,000 sheep.
This income is actually okay, but after all, such a big Lu Bu has come all the way to come here, and this income is a little less.
Other tribes didn't offend Lu Bu, so it was not appropriate to fight for no reason.
Lu Bu nodded: "Dawu, I will respect you as a man." I'll just let you choose ten warriors and let you go. In a few days, I hope you will bring someone over, and we will fight brightly. β
"Seriously?"
"Ben will be a promiser, but I'm afraid you won't come."
"Absolutely, five days, five days at most."
Lu Bu beckoned, let Daou go, and randomly selected ten subordinates for him, and the group rode away in a hurry. β
Yu Ban was puzzled: "Lord, just let him go, why let ten of his subordinates go?" β
"The prairie here is full of wild wolves, if you only let him go, it is estimated that he will be fed to the wolves, and only by putting a few men can he find reinforcements. Only by finding reinforcements can we achieve greater results. β
At this time, Hua Xiong came over and asked, "Lord, after capturing so many women, are you giving them to your brothers?" β
Lu Bu shook his head: "Although this is a barbarian, they are all my people, and soldiers are not allowed to kill women and children indiscriminately." Let the brothers accept this heart, and when they go back, they will arrange for the brothers to marry daughters-in-law one after another. β
"Yes, my lord."
Zhao Yun, who was next to Lu Bu, was greatly moved when he heard Lu Bu's words.
"Dian Wei, hold my sword, inspect the armies, dare to have nonsense, cut it down."
"Yes."
Dian Wei took a team of tiger and wolf soldiers to go on patrol.
The battle is over in a short period of time, the gold and silver and floating wealth should be distributed, and the compensation for the soldiers who died in the battle is after they go back.
What to do with the captives is a tricky question.
