Chapter 459: What Should It Be?
A scimitar cuts the flesh and then the bones.
At first, it was just a wisp of blood dripping, but when the scimitar cut through the Weng Hu artery, the blood washed down like a waterfall.
Weng Hu, who is also a brave and warlike warrior on horseback, is even more miserable than those cattle and sheep to be slaughtered at the moment.
A wail that was not like the rest of the world, from the original four Warriors to eight, could be able to suppress Weng Hu's final struggle.
Tou Man held Weng Hu's head in his left hand and a scimitar in his right hand, walked back to his seat, put both of them on the table, lowered his head and looked gloomy, and did not say a word.
The scimitar men who suddenly rushed in performed a Hun salute at the head and left in an orderly manner.
Except for the headless corpses on the ground, and the blood that spread to the feet of the tribal leaders, everything was no different from Fang Cai.
Time passed, and although the faces of the two rows of tribal leaders were ugly, no one spoke.
I don't know how long it has been, Touman rubbed his face, and said a little indistinctly:
"Bai Ran, my brother, are you willing to send troops for me?"
All eyes were on the man sitting at the end of the right, with a scar on his face.
The scar man named Bai Ran is the leader of the Eagle Worship Tribe, although the Eagle Worship Tribe is also a big tribe, but it is not as good as any of the leaders in the field, and he is at the bottom of the meeting.
The scar man glanced at the headless corpse on the ground, and said in a deep voice:
"I am willing to serve my life alone!"
"Okay, if you send troops for me, I will send troops for you, your tribe is too small in number. I'll help you annex and slaughter the tribes first, and then you can go." ”
Bai Ran looked surprised, and didn't dare to imagine that such a good thing could fall on him.
Seeing that Touman was serious, he beckoned the warriors standing beside him to take him out, and then he was excited to salute.
"Yui! Bai Ran is willing to die for the sake of singleness! ”
"No, no, no, I don't want you to die, I want you to live, you are my brother. I'm good, I'm going to make you good too. ”
Bai Ran walked out with light steps, his boots clattering on the blood.
When he annexes the Tu tribe that is larger than the Worship Eagle Tribe, the next time he comes to the meeting, he will be able to sit in the first place under the Shan Yu seat!
"My brothers, that rebel son led the Qin people to attack us, and he betrayed the Xiongnu. On this desert, except for the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon that can make us bow our heads, there is nothing that can make us bow our heads. ”
The crowd was silent and looked at Touman.
Among the many princes who followed Mao Dun to the Yue Clan, there were their sons.
Or their most outstanding, as a successor to train the son.
They didn't want to get involved in this war, even if Weng Hu, who had been beheaded alive, was in front of them, and when the dog harvested Bai Ran, who slaughtered the bones that everyone present, was behind, they still didn't want to participate.
You can kill one person alone, and you can use it to establish your authority, but you can't kill a group of people.
The most powerful tribe did not face the combined power of these seventeen or eight large tribes.
Since there was only one piece of the Tu tribe that had turned into fat, and it was taken away by the Eagle Worship Tribe, why did they still have to fight for Shan Yu? This matter is Shan Yu's fault!
Touman rested his elbows on his knees, crossed his fingers in front of his legs, and said in a deep voice:
"I have many sons, and you have many sons. I'm strong enough to tear tigers and leopards alive, and so are you, and we'll see them in this vault countless times. My brothers, I sit in this seat for one day, and you sit for one day. ”
The people looked at each other, but they did not speak.
Empty flatbread, where can it compare to the meat fragrance that can be seen and touched by slaughtering the tribes?
If you don't give meat and draw a cake, you want to die for you?
The spy reported that the rebel had brought a total of 60,000 Qin troops, 120,000 horses, and one person and two horses this time. Counting the time, it should have been 2,000 miles. The spies reported that they did not bring baggage, nor did they have wagons to carry grain and grass. ”
Everyone's eyes immediately stood up, there is no logistics?
60,000 horses drove straight in, and at least 200,000 people were needed to transport grain and grass, so as to ensure that this army could attack and retreat, and there would be no shortage of food and grass.
Without logistical support, the farthest attack distance of the gluttonous army is 700 miles from Meng Tian, and this is still when there is a Great Wall to urgently resupply.
Everyone was a little confused for a while, how could these Qin troops dare to go two thousand miles deep? Isn't this here to die?
They only need to surround but not fight, and use the most common nomadic warfare methods to make this Qin army run out of ammunition and die in the desert!
"The horses are all horses stolen from the Yueshi country, and the armor is the iron armor that allows us to retreat for seven hundred miles, my head man, share it with my brothers! Each of the brothers sent 10,000 warriors, and after destroying this Qin army, how about dividing the ironclad horses according to their merits? ”
Touman said with a smile.
"Yui!"
"Those boys have a fire and nowhere to sprinkle it!"
"Listen to Shan Yu!"
"I'll go back and get some people!"
Everyone agreed, and they responded like a game.
One of the tribal leaders laughed loudly.
"Shan Yu, our tribe has exhausted 20,000 horses, and the battle is quickly resolved!"
In a large tribe, the number of warriors who can fight is mostly around 20,000.
out of 20,000 people, this is even the family has been hit.
Sitting on a single seat, the Touman tribe behind him is the most powerful, with 70,000 string-controlling warriors.
Touman pointed to the crowd.
"I'm okay with that, as long as the brothers agree."
Everyone laughed and scolded.
"Get out! You cunning man more cunning than a sand fox! ”
"Good things for you to take all of them!"
"If you give out 20,000 horses, I'll give you 30,000!"
The atmosphere became lively in an instant, and no one looked at the headless corpse on the ground.
Dead people, worthless.
A quarter of an hour later, the meeting was over, and everyone dispersed to return to the tribe to point out the men.
Tou Manshan Yu picked up Weng Hu's head, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it again and again, and sighed lightly.
"Good brother, every honor I have will share with you."
He threw Weng Hu's head to the people who stood beside him.
"Use my good brother's skull to make the best wine vessel."
Three days later, the Xiongnu army was dispatched, with a total of 170,000 warriors.
During these three days, new news circulated in the desert.
Prince Maudun did not bring grain and grass, and his baggage was heavy, which shows his sincerity.
He didn't want to meet his father's head man, he just wanted to kill the Yan clan who confused his father.
Otherwise, winter is coming, and there will be no war, and the prince of Maodun can develop silently in Gaoque City, continue to collect the Xiongnu, and compete with Touman for the position of Shan Yu after the development and growth.
Touman didn't take this kind of thing to heart, no matter what the rebel son thought, he wouldn't allow anyone to disobey him!
Since you didn't die in the Yueshi country, you died in the Xiongnu land!
The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and Hu Tian did not snow in September.
Tou Manshan Yu led 170,000 Hun soldiers and horses, and under the very cold autumn wind, he finally saw the soldiers and horses that asked him to retreat 700 miles!
Looking at it from a distance, a black line, black made him panic in his heart, and his hands and feet were cold.
Tou Man obviously knew that this army had become a lonely army, and his mood should be uplifted and happy, but he didn't know why, he was just a little unsure.
"Bai Ran, you go and test and see how much combat power this army still has."
"Yui."
With the help of Touman, Bai Ran, the leader of the Worship Eagle tribe who annexed the Tu tribes, answered loudly.
Picking up 3,000 men and horses, he cautiously approached the black-armored army stationed in the distance.
At a distance of 800 paces, Bai Ran asked 3,000 men and horses to draw bows and arrows and shoot them into the sky.
Bai Ran knew that such an arrow was not lethal, but this was also a fight, wasn't it? The tentative mission was accomplished perfectly.
A rain of arrows fell from the sky, and basically all of them fell outside the gluttonous army camp.
was resting in place, and the harassed soldier put on his armor, and then lay on the ground to continue to rest, not bothering to move.
Don't say that these throwing arrows, even if they are strong arrows within 200 paces, it is difficult to break their defenses.
Bai Ran took three thousand men and horses to shoot two rounds of arrows, and then came back quickly, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army of Touman declined rapidly, which was extremely child's play.
But Touman did not reprimand him, but patted him on the shoulder and rewarded him.
Eight hundred steps, with the combat power displayed by this Qin army in Gaoque, the charge was instantaneous. Is this Qin army driving for eleven days and nights to eat up the grain and grass, or is it luring me in?
Touman thought for a moment, and then gave an order.
"Pass my military orders! Surround this Qin army! ”
The 170,000 horses were mobilized by Touman, changing from a phalanx to a long line, drawing a large circle around the Qin army in the center.
No matter what the commander of this Qin army planned, it was a fact that he did not take heavy grain and grass for eleven days and nights.
The dry food that my Hun warriors carried with them lasted for three days at most, and even if the Qin army could bring more, these eleven days and nights should be almost consumed.
As long as I surround but not fight, and wait for the heart of this Qin army to collapse, it will be the time for me to accept the horses, armor, and kill the rebels!
The hooves of the war horses were flying, and the thoughts of Touman flew farther and farther, and the smile on the corner of Touman's mouth became deeper and deeper.
He didn't know what his rebel son and the commander of the Qin army had said, so that this invincible Qin army could go deep and fall into a desperate situation.
Perhaps, this is the gift of the rebel son to his father?
The 170,000 Xiongnu army surrounded the 60,000 gluttonous legions, and Touman thought that this Qin army would break through as soon as the encirclement was not closed.
Although this is nothing more than prolonging death, it is not really useful.
He came for eleven days and nights, and he went back for eleven days and nights.
Tou Man didn't believe that this Qin army could carry rations for twenty-two days and nights!
But people are afraid of death and yearn for survival, and they can delay for a while.
However, as if they had not seen the movements of the Xiongnu army, this Qin army was stationed in place, indifferent, and allowed to be surrounded.
Seeing that the encirclement had been formed, Touman felt a trace of unease, but he couldn't tell where the uneasiness was.
He immediately set up a large camp and gathered many tribal leaders to discuss the military and try to brainstorm ideas.
The tribal leaders agreed that this was the most appropriate method of warfare, and none of them proposed to take the initiative to attack, and no one thought that there was anything wrong with such a tactic.
Meng Tian's imprint of fear was still there, and even in the face of the tired gluttonous army that had been walking for eleven days and nights, they didn't dare to go up and fight against it.
Since everyone said so, Touman also put his mind at ease and ordered the leaders of each tribe to take care of their own people and prepare for the Qin army to break through at any time.
All the tribal leaders should be the same, and they should return to each other, and the tribesmen should be replaced day and night, and they should not slack off.
Soon, a day passed, and night fell, and the Hun army was all in good spirits.
There is a night cover, and it is much better to break through than during the day.
Touman's camp was brightly lit, and his eyes were wide open, ready to respond to a surprise attack by the Qin army.
The night passed, and the Qin army did not move.
Touman, who hadn't slept all night, looked at Qin Jun in the distance as if he was nothing.
The outermost part of the Qin army was full of armored war horses, and the inside was blocked tightly, and it was impossible to see the situation at all.
The only few Qin troops on duty were also fully armed, but they looked like a vague shadow from afar, and they couldn't see how they moved.
"Shan Yu, everyone who touched the Qin army within 300 steps last night is dead!"
The guards came to report.
Last night, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Touman asked someone to find out the actual situation of the Qin army.
"How did you die?"
"It should be a crossbow bolt......
Touman's eyes narrowed.
"What do you mean by should?"
The guard lowered his head and didn't dare to look, gritted his teeth and said:
"Didn't get a body back!"
Failure to recover a body means that the injuries cannot be examined.
If you can't check the injury, you naturally don't know what caused the injury.
"Slashed!"
Touman was furious, and under the eyes of the guards who were desperate for forgiveness in defeat, he looked at the black line, full of black lines.
How did this Qin army preserve its combat effectiveness? Killing horses? Or was the remaining rations distributed centrally to the crossbowmen?
After putting on the armored war horse, Liu Bang held a telescope in his hand and watched the Hun soldiers in the distance in the gap.
Beside him was the Hun prince with a complicated face, Mao Dun.
"You Huns are fighting, well, quite thoughtful."
Liu Bang, who took off the binoculars, pretended to be serious, and the corners of his mouth turned up after not holding on for a while, and he hurriedly turned around.
During the march of more than ten days, he had a good relationship with Maudun, and he was not laughing.
He couldn't understand, this was the Xiongnu who could only guard against the Xiongnu who could not attack before Li Mu appeared in the Zhao State before? What's there to prevent from this? Isn't that stupid?
There is a fart for the more than 100,000 troops to disperse and surround it, just find a direction, and it will not be broken with a single charge? These Huns still want to block iron armor with their human bodies and horses? It's a joke!
Mao Dun lowered his head, his mood was complicated.
He was regarded as the next person to be cultivated, and he knew the tactics of the Huns very well, and he could also understand his father's choice.
Father must have thought that this Qin army lacked food and had no combat effectiveness.
An army that is short of food, without camp roars, and cannibalism is disciplined, where is there still the combat effectiveness to break through?
A rash attack is just an increase in casualties, and surrounding but not fighting is the best choice.
But all this is based on a lack of food.
Mao Dun, who had been following the gluttonous army for 11 days, knew very well that this army had never been short of food, and its combat effectiveness had not weakened at all until now.
The gluttonous army did not have 200,000 infantry to transport grain and grass, and only brought three days' rations before the trip, but it could not stand the buffet provided by those small and medium-sized Xiongnu tribes......
