Chapter 257: Sending the Horse
The Huns ran to the north in a hurry, everyone had an expression of a ghost behind them, and ran all the way north for thirty miles, the first to stop was of course a group of Hun nobles such as Ke Moore who ran in front, but Moore ran all the way, gradually regained his calm, and soon found that although it was noisy behind, there was no sound of slashing "Stop! Stop!" But Moore stopped his troops. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info turned to King Zuo Xian and asked, "How far have we run?"
King Zuo Xian also stopped, and looked up at the surroundings, "Hui Khan, about thirty miles"
But Moore nodded, "Listen carefully, it seems that the Han army did not chase after it, because there was no screaming behind"
was mentioned by Ke Moore, all the people began to calm down, this is the role of the backbone, but Moore may sometimes be more nervous, but as a leader, he is a qualified existence in the hearts of the Xiongnu nobles.
After a while, everyone heard it clearly, and there was indeed no sound, and a group of subordinates who caught up from behind saw that their Great Khan had stopped here, so they all stopped and returned to their respective leaders.
An hour later, as the last of the men returned, the silence of the open wilderness was restored, and the various divisions began to count the number of people, and although more than 20,000 men were injured in their own ways, they were generally kicked and bruised by horses, and some were burned. In total, dozens of people died and hundreds were injured. But nothing is more serious than that.
"Where are your horses? your horses are gone?" King Zuo Xian was the first to notice the problem, because many people have changed from a knight to an infantryman, and the reason why they have been walking for so long is because they use a pair of feet to retreat, so from the time they stop the farthest they run, it will take about an hour to gather the troops.
Everyone looked at each other, many people's horses were lost, and when they ran, many people's military tents had already been disrupted, and this chaos was not in the people, but in the horses. Tonight's camp is rioting, but the horses themselves are rioting? So why is there a charge of the Han army?
All this was in Ke Moore's eyes, but Mo thought of a bold idea, and asked calmly, "Find people who say they have seen the Han army or heard about the Han army, I have something to ask them?"
But as soon as Moore said this, the leaders of the various tribes immediately went to inquire about their subordinates, but after a while, almost all the leaders reported the same return: "They did not see the Han army, but they heard the Han army's charge."
But Moore is weird, "If the Han army really attacked, it should be attacked while our foothold was not stable, but it is clear that we are in chaos, but they don't come to pursue?
When a timid leader heard Ke Moore's words, he reflexively said, "Isn't it true that the Han army has really been favored by the true gods?
King Zuo Xian's eyes glared, "Don't talk nonsense, confuse your heart"
But Moore just really felt strange, his subordinates were indeed not injured by the Han army, but by their own war horses, and the war horses ran away again. For a man who lives on horseback, who is so betrayed by his closest comrades, he can't help but think about the strange and distracting side. But Moore shook his head, "Now is not the time to think about this, everyone will count the losses immediately, and those who can't be taken away may also be found in the original camp, rest in place after counting, and set off tomorrow"
Under Ke Moore's order, the Xiongnu finally stopped and began to rest, this time, King Zuo Xian personally led people to keep vigil, and let the Han army really come to a raid. It's just that the little leader's sentence 'not being blessed by the true god will have an impact on ordinary soldiers, especially those who have lost their horses, but the impact is not so easy to recover'
The Han army on the other side did an unbelievable thing, that is, to let their war horses enter the mountains. Long Xiangwei and the others are all real soldiers, the commander has an order, they naturally do it correctly, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will never retreat, let alone let go of a war horse. However, Shaoyuan is not a real soldier, and he suddenly wants him to let go of his favorite war horse, he can't do it anyway, and it's hard to accept.
Therefore, the first to oppose was Shao Yuan, "Ah pet, I am against it, why do you want to let go of the war horse? This is exactly the big war that is coming!"
Gao Pet said calmly, "The city must reduce the consumption of grain and grass as much as possible, if the war horse is in the city, not only will the consumption increase, but we also have to make room for the war horse, which is inconvenient for us to defend the city."
Shaoyuan was not convinced, "But without the war horse, we have no possibility of counterattacking, and we can't even run away."
Gao Zhong shook his head, "Our task is to hold Shule, it is a tough battle, we don't need war horses, the city is broken and dead, what's the use of leaving war horses?
Shaoyuan knew that Gao Pet must have a hundred reasons for doing this, so he directly confessed, "Ah Pet, I can't bear my big donkey, can't you open the net?"
Gao Zhong smiled helplessly, "Shaoyuan, do you think that you are the only one who is reluctant? War Horse is our loyal comrade-in-arms, but I have to guard against it this time." Let me ask you a question, would you like to eat your donkey when you run out of food? I don't know how long you will keep it this time, and if you want to eat your donkey, will you do it?"
Shaoyuan naturally replied immediately, "I must be unwilling."
Gao Pet shrugged his shoulders "Then we won't let this happen, let's take the initiative to send it away first, put it in the mountains and forests, I hope that on the day we win, we can still go back to this mountain to find them" Gao Pet said and stood up and patted Shaoyuan's shoulder, "Shaoyuan, this battle is dangerous, although we have a small victory tonight, but the Huns are not good at it, I have prepared for the worst, you are at the same level as me, I can't order you, your war horse, it's up to you to decide" After that, he went out and prepared to let go of his war horse.
After a while, Long Xiangwei led their horses, unsaddled them, led their horses out of the city, patted their horses, and let them leave. Almost every war horse would circle their master with affection, and their master also knew that if they did not leave, they were very likely to face the situation, so they endured their reluctance and urged them to leave again and again.
Of course, there are always some, 'Donkey, you go, don't think about me, although I am very reluctant to you, but I really don't want you to be eaten, our master and servant are probably also fateful, let's go'
Shaoyuan said goodbye affectionately, but did not wait for the affectionate lingering of the big donkey, but after taking off the saddle, he hissed twice in a chic and unrestrained manner, and ran away without looking back!
In this way, it is really Shaoyuan who directly trained "The ungrateful donkey!
Gao Pet finished letting go of his war horse and came over to look at Shaoyuan, "Have you made up your mind?"
Shaoyuan nodded and looked at the distance where the big donkey disappeared, "Well, the big donkey was originally a horse king, yearning for unrestrained freedom, so she fulfilled her wish, after all, you also said that this battle was dangerous."
Gao Zhong smiled, "When the Western Regions are calmed down, we will go to Dawan to choose the best horses!"
Shaoyuan stretched out his fist and "a word is a certainty"
Gao pet touched his fist and "a word is a certainty"
