ran away from more than 6,000 Huns, and Liu Zhang didn't want to chase after him.

Let these Huns go back to promote his awesomeness, and walk around when they meet him in the future.

"This gun in your hand was given to you by the traverser? Or did you seize? ”

Cao Xiang asked Liu Zhang curiously, he had seen rifles and pistols.

This weapon has a long range and is more powerful than bows and arrows and crossbows.

He can't make it at the moment, and he hasn't seen it used much before.

"This gun was seized from some people in the first year of Yuanshou, and I wasn't sure if they were traversers at the time."

Liu Zhang's reason was reasonable, he planned to give the sniper rifle to Cao Xiang or Song Shizhong.

At that time, due to the urgency of the situation, he had to use a sniper rifle.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you, I only have this one."

"Give it to him, I'm used to bows and arrows and crossbows."

Although Song Shizhong was interested in a sniper rifle, Liu Zhang only had this one in his hand.

Then give it to Cao Xiang, although the sniper rifle is powerful.

The bullets used hit one less and could not be manufactured.

still uses bows and arrows and crossbows to get their hands on it, and there are really a lot of Han troops who think the same as Song Shizhong.

"You keep it for yourself, that kind of projectile can be used sparingly, we can't make it."

If you run out of bullets, it's just an iron bar.

This time, the stolen materials were used to lure the Huns into the bait, and the plan worked very well.

They decided to continue with the original plan, and the three of them decided unanimously.

No longer separately attack the camp where the Xiongnu hoarded supplies, if you encounter thousands to tens of thousands of Xiongnu again.

The 10,000 Han army was also able to deal with it easily, and Cao Xiang gave Liu Zhang advice.

Let him kill the generals of the Huns with a sniper rifle and hit the morale of the Huns.

They rested in place for a while, and today went to several nearby Xiongnu solidarity material camps.

To grab some more supplies, it is better to meet the previous Hun cavalry.

They rested in place for an hour, and after eating and drinking enough, they continued their original plan on their horses.

Before evening, Liu Zhang and his men attacked five Xiongnu camps where they were hoarding supplies.

In addition to the old people, women, and children of the Huns, they were not killed, and the other Huns were killed by young adults.

The gathering places of the Xiongnu were relatively scattered, and the number of people in the gathering places ranged from a few hundred to thousands.

There are very few gathering places with 10,000 people, and the Han army killed the Xiongnu very well during this time.

Their military exploits are on the rise, and they are getting more and more supplies.

When night fell, Liu Zhang and the others set up tents, and they roasted mutton to eat.

"Since the afternoon attack on the Huns' hoarding sites, I have killed five hundred and five Huns." Liu Zhang reported the number of Huns he had killed.

"I killed three hundred and fifty-eight people." Song Shizhong is also satisfied with his record.

"I slew four hundred and two." Cao Xiang still hasn't compared to Liu Zhang.

They killed all the young Xiongnu people, and if they were not killed, these Xiongnu would become potential enemies of the Han Dynasty in the future.

"You don't have to have a psychological burden, war is so cruel. It is necessary to kill as many young people as possible in the enemy country and eliminate the threat to the Han Dynasty. ”

Cao Xiang asked Liu Zhang that they didn't have to have too much psychological burden, this is war.

You can't be merciful to the enemy, how did those Xiongnu treat the Han people.

"That's right, the Huns enslaved my Han people, and they should be killed. I think I didn't kill enough today, so we might as well have a game. Before October, see who killed the most Huns. ”

Song Shizhong's Huns hated it so much that he wanted to kill all the Huns.

He also heard Liu Zhang say that the population of the Xiongnu was only about 3 million.

"You said before that there were more than three million Xiongnu, guess how many Xiongnu are there now?"

"I estimate that the population of the Xiongnu is only more than 2.5 million, and natural disasters, wars, diseases, and hunger have caused the population of the Xiongnu to drop sharply."

Liu Zhang felt that the greatest losses of the Xiongnu came from disease and hunger, and the Xiongnu did not lose too many people in the war.

The Xiongnu believed that the Han Dynasty could not destroy them, and what they feared most was natural disasters.

Drought and lack of rain, long cold winters, severe desertification.

Liu Zhang and his men marched from east to west and found that desertification began to appear in some places.

The grass in the grasslands is sparsely grown, and some rivers have dried up.

The heat gradually weakens these days, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather will gradually get colder.

"It's going to get cold on this grassland in September, and we're going to return to Dahan by October."

The Han army will also stop military operations, they are going to spend the winter.

After October, the Han army turned to the defensive to prevent the Xiongnu from looting large quantities of supplies on the Han border before November.

In the north, it snows heavily in November, and it is difficult for horses to run in the snow at that time.

"The one who can defeat the Huns, in addition to the powerful Han army, also has this weather."

Liu Zhang pointed to the sky, and the war between Han and Hungary lasted for decades.

The two sides have won and lost each other, but the situation has changed in recent years.

It was more and more beneficial to the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty also hurt its vitality.

Even so, the war against the Xiongnu could not be stopped, and the Xiongnu were never given a chance to rest.

"To be honest, I've been fighting the Huns for the past few months, and I'm almost tired of falling apart."

Liu Zhang was eating barbecue, and it was really hard during this time.

Riding back and forth for a long time, he barely slept well.

He did not dare to sleep too deeply on the northern border, the moment of danger would come.

"I would like to share with you a happy event, the children I am carrying will be born in a few days, but unfortunately I can't accompany them."

Liu Zhang looked up at the night sky and sighed, he really missed his family.

"It may be a few months before my baby is born, and my child is already pregnant."

Cao Xiang hoped that their mother and son would be safe, and he looked at Song Shizhong again.

"I have a son and my wife writes to me. said that everything was fine at home, thanks to Zhang's family to take care of him. ”

They talk about things that are very happy, if they talk about war all the time.

That felt so depressing, and most people don't like war.

But because he couldn't escape the war, if it weren't for the Xiongnu who went to the border of the Han Dynasty every year to hurt the people.

Robbing the people's supplies, the Han Dynasty would not have taken a strong military blow against the Xiongnu.

"We don't fight this war, we will leave it to the next generation to fight. We need to finish what this generation should do and let the next generation enjoy it. ”

Song Shizhong and Cao Xiang felt that Liu Zhang's words were very reasonable, and a generation has a generation's task.

If their generation fights the war to the end, the next generation can live in peace.

"There will be no end to war, maybe our grandchildren's generation will face war again, maybe then we won't see them."

Cao Xiang thought that decades or even centuries later, the Han Dynasty would have to face a formidable enemy.

He wondered in his heart how long the fortunes of the Han Dynasty would last? He didn't dare to ask openly.

The last thing an emperor wants to hear is the demise of a dynasty, and every emperor wants the country to be prosperous for generations.

"The war hasn't stopped since there were people. In the earliest days, there were conflicts between tribes, and the scale of the war was like a fight between several villages. ”

Liu Zhang said this, let them imagine it in their minds.

Some were armed with sticks and stone axes, and two or more sides fought.

"I don't know what era the war was in the first place? I've only heard of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. ”

Song Shizhong heard the legends of the emperor and Emperor Yan from the older generation, and they were both the ancestors of humanity.

"Who knows when man will appear? It's hard to tell. ”

Liu Zhang also couldn't say that the earliest tribal conflict was unclear, and the war was simple and rude.

They fought for numbers and physical strength, and since the Warring States period, warfare has focused on strategy and tactics.

"Let's not talk about the war anymore, I'm a little fed up, let's talk about something light."

Liu Zhang proposed not to talk about the war, but to talk about who is better among his own children.

Up to now, Liu Zhang has two sons and a daughter, and the eldest is almost two years old.

The youngest is almost a year old, and they are now very healthy.

"There's nothing to talk about when we talk about our respective children. Some are not born, and some are too young, why not talk about the advantages of our women? ”

Cao Xiang felt that there was nothing to talk about on this topic, so it was better to talk about his own woman.

The three of them want to be better than their own women, which also arouses their little competitiveness.

"I can say it beforehand, and don't be angry about what I say."

Liu Zhang didn't want to praise his women too much, they were indeed very good.

But saying this will hurt Cao Xiang and Song Shizhong's self-esteem.

"Then let's talk about the advantages of each woman, and the disadvantages can not be said. What kind of help they have for us, except for having children. ”

Song Shizhong felt that his wife was very virtuous and hardworking, and he was also devoted to him.

Cao Xiang felt that his woman was virtuous and generous, very beautiful, and had a noble and elegant temperament.

Liu Zhang feels that his women's abilities are different, and they can manage the family well.

Liu Zhangcai is relieved to do things outside, and the three of them have different personalities and abilities.

It seems that there is no comparison, and when there is a chance, let them get together.
