Chapter 309 Encirclement and suppression in all directions
Nearly three thousand people on horseback hurriedly passed through Langshan Mountain and rushed forward.
Along the way, Xu Mu looked back several times and found that the faces of the heroes he was following were all tired after a series of fights.
"General Xu, where are we going?"
"Brother Mu, didn't you say you should kill the king?"
Xu Mu remained silent.
Killing Wang Ting is just to anger the Di people. With these three thousand people, let alone Wang Ting, if they continue to go deeper, they will most likely encounter Wang Ting's elite army.
If you can't defeat it, you can't avoid it.
It is estimated that soon, once the fire stops, the tens of thousands of Beidi people in Langshan will become more and more angry and chase them to death.
"Go forward two hundred miles and then take a roundabout way. If you encounter tribes along the way, they will be burned along the way."
Hezhou City is still defending, and King Zuo Khan, if he is brave enough, will continue to ignore it. As long as these three thousand people do not die and continue to cause chaos in the grassland behind, the morale of the Di people on the front line will eventually collapse.
After two consecutive days, they penetrated nearly a thousand miles into the Saibei grassland and rushed all the way. Even Xu Mu himself couldn't remember how many small tribes he burned.
The thousands of miles of grassland border is filled with black smoke rising straight into the sky.
"Then the young general of the Central Plains, has he lived in the grassland? Why is he so familiar with the terrain of the grassland?" Duhou, who was leading the army, had anger all over his face.
He only felt that he was not chasing a rabbit, but that he was being treated like a monkey and led by the nose.
"I guess Khan will know about it..."
"Shut up."
Duhou gritted his teeth and said, "From today onwards, 60,000 people will be divided into three camps and surrounded on three sides."
He originally wanted to break it down a little more, but when he thought about the ten-horse chain, he didn't dare. The number was too small, and even seven or eight thousand people, maybe, couldn't stop the little boss.
"Duhou, King Zuo Khan has sent people to inquire. Let us take the heads of the little master's family to the front line of Hezhou to destroy the morale of the Central Plains defenders."
Du Hou's expression paused and he was silent for a moment.
…
"Not killed yet?" Tuoba Zhao looked cold in front of Hezhou City.
A mere three thousand horsemen were like heavenly soldiers and generals, killing half of the grassland and leaving smoke everywhere.
"They're all rubbish!"
Tuoba Zhao took a hard breath.
No one could have imagined that the little boss not only dared to enter the grassland, but also caused great chaos.
The attack on Hezhou City was also at a disadvantage. Even with sophisticated siege equipment, even after all this time, there was still no way to capture the city pass.
"King Zuo Khan, the little master also said that he would rush into the royal court and capture the Khan... Many people in the army were dissatisfied after hearing that their tribe was burned and wanted to return to the grassland immediately."
"What are you going back for? Hezhou is about to be destroyed."
This sentence is obviously self-comfort.
Tuoba Zhao kept rubbing his forehead, trying to break the deadlock in front of him. He was a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back, which made him completely passive.
After living for thirty years, he never thought that there would be people from the Central Plains entering the grassland, and they would have an unimpeded journey.
If Tian Khan in the royal court knew about it, he might be very angry.
"Zuo Khan, the king of Yuzhou in the Central Plains, is looking for a battle general again."
"Ignore him." Tuoba Zhao was extremely irritated. In the past few days, with the mentality of trying his best, he sent seven or eight prairie warriors to fight against the generals, but they were all defeated by the Yuzhou king in front of the city gate.
He was stabbed to death. It looked like a father beating his son, until he was unable to fight back.
In the end, five people go up together and five people die together.
The morale of the entire Hezhou garrison exploded crazily.
"Zhao Qingyun, you quickly lead your troops, go around from the north of the grassland border, and surround the little boss. If this thing succeeds, I will not hold you accountable."
Listening, Zhao Qingyun's expression paused and he responded hastily.
"National Master, please go with us."
"King Zuohan, I still need to stay here to advise you. You also know that I am the most wise man in Beidi——"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Daochun had a whip mark on his face. He had to cover his face in pain and followed Zhao Qingyun out.
After walking for less than half a mile, Zhao Qingyun's face became inexplicably gloomy.
"One ear, are you afraid?"
"Have you ever thought that my little boss stayed in the grassland on purpose?"
"What are you talking about? I have hundreds of thousands of warriors in Beidi."
"Hundreds of thousands of warriors can't catch three thousand riders. Haha, could it be that you, the calculating person, can succeed if you just go away?"
"I don't know whether it will succeed or not, but at least I have two ears." Huang Daochun was not to be outdone.
Zhao Qingyun snorted coldly.
Immediately, the two of them got on the horse one after another with bulging faces.
…
It's getting close to dusk again.
The men and horses were exhausted in the past few days, and there were more than a dozen seriously injured people. Xu Mu had to take a risk and found a hidden bush to allow nearly 3,000 men and horses to rest temporarily.
Unable to make a fire, they could only eat the dried meat pieces they grabbed and put them into their mouths mixed with kumiss.
Xu Mu, who was sitting in the corner, kept flipping through the map, lost in thought. Not long after he looked at it, another eagle cry sounded in his ears.
Cursing secretly, he hurriedly stood up and found that more than a dozen goshawks had spread their wings in panic and turned back.
"Chang Wei, go tell the brothers that it's time to leave."
Once the location is exposed, it is useless to continue hiding it.
"General Xu has orders to mount your horse and leave quickly."
"Wei Xiaowu, you go in the middle."
"Wei Xiaowu?"
Wei Xiaowu emerged from the earth hole, and before he could speak, he howled.
"Xu, General Xu, Brother Li Er, they don't want to leave."
Xu Mu hurriedly walked into the cave, only to find that more than a dozen seriously injured people were unwilling to be helped. They only raised their resolute faces and spoke calmly.
"General Xu, I won't leave until later."
"Why don't you leave?"
"Too many horses died...and if you have to take care of me, I'm afraid it will slow down. If so, I will be ashamed."
"I will take you to the grassland. As long as you are still alive, we will go back together."
"General Xu, don't persuade me." An old soldier laughed, his voice hoarse.
"I have no regrets about being able to come to the grassland -"
"Chang Wei, take the men and carry them to the horse." Xu Mu said with a sullen face. He naturally knew that these seriously injured people were unwilling to go with them because they were afraid of dragging down the army.
"When you return to the inner city, as long as you don't die, I will provide for you in your old age."
Turning around and walking out of the cave, Xu Mu only heard the sound of crying behind him.
At the beginning, as a stickman, he would never give up on the people of the village. Now, how could he be willing to leave behind these passionate brothers who share life and death together?
"In three days, I will take you to Yanzhou and back to the inner city from Yanzhou!" Xu Mu stood in the middle of the three thousand riders with a calm voice.
Before returning to Yanzhou, he still needed to do one big thing.
If you can't win a team battle, are you afraid that I'll steal three towers from you?
