Chapter 378
These tribal cavalry were quite brave. Seeing that a general had lost was not timid, they screamed and waved the scimitar in their hand and rushed up.
Zhao Yun waved his big gun: "Run."
Today, we did not adopt the riding and shooting tactics because these herdsmen are also very skillful in riding and shooting tactics. It is better to use their armor advantages, let alone fight less, and there is no reason not to win.
The cavalry held crossbows and fired quickly, and the power of crossbows at close range was very huge.
The tribal cavalry did not have iron armor and wore sheepskin coats. They were easily pierced by crossbows, and people kept falling off their horses.
Following this was a fierce battle, saber, spear, and mace.
These regular cavalry of Zhao Yun cooperated with each other, with strong armor and sharp weapons. One collision caused these enemy troops to be destroyed.
Especially Zhao Yun, who was so brave that he shot several times in succession, killing two enemy commanders in succession.
I am most afraid of this when I am fighting. I am fighting and I am leading the way.
Everyone can see how to fight, run away.
The Wuhuan people turned around and ran away, and Zhao Yun led his army to chase after him.
Everyone hung their weapons on the ring of the bird's wings of the Victory Hook, took off the bent bow, and chased them hard for five or six miles.
Seeing that there were woods ahead, Xiaoshan was worried about the ambush and then stopped chasing.
After counting the battlefield, more than 80 people were killed on his side and annihilated 1,600 enemies.
However, more than 200 people were injured on their own side, mainly because of the Wuhuan people's arrows.
Rescue the wounded, apply medicine to bandage, and clean the battlefield.
There were actually more than a thousand Xiongnu people in Zhao Yun's army, so he was very familiar with the Wuhuan warfare, leaving a team of thousands of people to guard the camp, and rest the rest and recover his physical strength.
Zhao Yun changed his war horses and led a thousand cavalry to start provoking everywhere.
Some soldiers also began to build roads, prepare firewood for the brigade of troops behind, etc.
Originally, there were many Wuhuan cavalry everywhere, all of whom were scattered soldiers and 500, but when they saw Zhao Yun's flags running away, they were faster than rabbits.
Zhao Yun was very depressed, and he was also worried when his reputation became famous.
He did not move forward that day, and the carriage escorted the seriously injured back to the headquarters for healing.
All minor wounded persons will follow the army.
"Report, General Lu's military order."
Zhao Yun took it and saw that he was careful to prevent fire attacks. When he encountered suspicious valleys, he could set fires on the grassland first.
Zhao Yun carefully received the military order and sent a team of troops to continue exploration.
After a while, a small group of people brought back a herder in a sheepskin coat.
Zhao Yun asked: "Who is this? What should I do when I bring him back?"
"We found him in the cave. This man was a deer-raising man nearby. His reindeer was stolen by the Wuhuan people. He knew the place where the Wuhuan people were."
"May I have your name?"
"Return to General Lu Ya, Xiaomin, has lived here for generations and raised deer to make a living. Half a month ago, the Wuhuan army headed south and snatched all my deer."
"Oh, do you know where they are stationed?"
"I know, it takes about half an hour to ride a horse from here."
"How many of them are there?"
"I don't know this. I look at it, it's so big, there are two or three thousand people."
When Zhao Yun thought that he was a vanguard army, his main function was to clear up sporadic obstacles on the road ahead. Since there were enemies, he had to be cleared.
I rode a horse for half an hour, but the distance was not far, just twenty or thirty miles away.
Zhao Yun took out a piece of silver: "Lu Ya, if you lead the way and successfully find the Wuhuan people, this silver will be rewarded. In addition, your deer will be returned to you."
"Thank you, General, I don't want money, I just need to take revenge."
Zhao Yun was still very confident. He brought three thousand cavalrymen and followed Lu Ya to head northwest.
It was quite easy to walk along the way. Most of them were flat grasslands, but after walking for twenty miles, there was a valley in front of them, covered with dry weeds, which could reach the height of the horse's legs.
Zhao Yun waved his hand and the team stopped.
Lu Ya was quite surprised: "General, why don't you leave? It's not far ahead."
"I will invite you to have a barbecue."
After saying that, the cavalry shot thousands of rockets, scattered on both sides of the valley.
The hay in early winter had already dried up, and the rocket fell to the ground and the blazing fire immediately rose.
The originally quiet cliff suddenly stood up and there were a large number of Wuhuan people. These people were preparing to set fire to Zhao Yun's troops, but they didn't expect Zhao Yun to set fire to him first.
Seeing that Lu Ya was discovered, it was too late to run away and was firmly controlled.
Zhao Yun pointed to the valley ahead: "I will tell you in the future that in normal valley pheasants and rabbits will often appear. Wild birds crow, which means that it is normal. This valley is dead, and pheasants and wild birds do not crow, which means that there is an ambush. These are the most basic principles."
Lu Ya was a man who bit the poison in his mouth and committed suicide.
Zhao Yun didn't care about it when he saw it, and dug a hole and buried it by the roadside.
This wildfire was so fierce that it was thought it would be extinguished after a while, but unexpectedly it would take three days and three nights.
Hundreds of Wuhuan soldiers who were ambushed were all killed.
Zhao Yun returned to the army and sent spies to reconnaissance, but no army of Wuhuan people was found nearby.
I continued north early the next morning, and this time I was much slower.
A thousand cavalry were divided into fifty squads, searching back and forth along the road a hundred miles wide to strictly prevent the Wuhuan cavalry.
According to the previous experience of the Han Dynasty, the success or failure of fighting against the Huns mainly depends on whether the enemy can be found.
Because the entire Hun tribes like Wuhuan were soldiers and had no homes, they could run around with cattle, sheep and animals.
However, it is winter now, and there are relatively few pastures in winter, and the mobility of the Wuhuan people's transfer has been greatly reduced.
In the central army, Lu Bu led the army to a maximum of only thirty miles away from Zhao Yun's vanguard army.
Zhuge Liang was a little worried: "Lord, if we can't fight quickly, how should we march when the heavy snow comes?"
"It's just the beginning of winter now, and it's still thirty days to get heavy snow and very cold. With the quilts and cotton coats of our Xuzhou army, there's no problem resisting the general severe cold. As long as it snows, we can build snow carriages."
"I propose to build a stronghold every fifty miles along the road. The journey is getting more and more desolate. The surrounding people are not obeying the rules, and the logistics lines must be firm."
Hao Meng shook his head: "Soldiers are very fast. Let's speed start tomorrow and raid Liaoxi County. We will hold a major battle with the enemy's main force as soon as possible. After the battle, the best strategy is to go south."
Lu Bu pointed to Lu Long in the southern part of Liaoxi County: "There was once a city of our Han Dynasty, and now it is the southern gate of Liaoxi County. There is no easy road northward, and there are many mountains and ridges. Our entire cavalry does not need to go deep into the dense forest to fight the Tadun tribe. Yuan Shang and Bingzhou are newly established, how much material can support Tadun? As long as we trap Lu Long, the enemy will come out to fight."
