On the seventh day of March, at the third quarter of Yin hour, half an hour before the Golden Crow rises, the Jade Rabbit sets in the west, the stars are dim, and the Taibai rises in the east.
The soldiers, who had rested for three hours, put on their armor in the cold night, mounted their horses, and advanced eastward under the faint light of day.
The sound of hooves suddenly started, and the horses moved through the thin morning mist. The army had to run for thirty miles before going into battle. The previous training was for this thirty-mile rush.
The horses trotted, covering more than twenty miles but only two quarters. At the beginning of the morning, the morning fog dissipated, the sun rose in the east, and the surrounding tribes were far away.
"Change horses."
The cavalry units changed horses during the march, abandoned their pack horses, and accelerated their advance.
"dismount."
At the sound of firing, the two infantry battalions dismounted and formed a team, forming a formation and moving forward.
"Woo~" The watchtower on the mountain woke up and started blowing the horn to call the police. Unfortunately, it was too late. Ten years ago, the Han army was defeated and more than 30,000 horsemen were buried in Danhan Mountain. In the past ten years, the Han army has not set foot here again.
During the year, the Xianbei people ravaged northern Xinjiang, and they became lax.
The value of the cavalry is most vividly demonstrated during a surprise attack. The horse can trot at about four to five meters per second, trot at about ten meters, and gallop at more than fifteen meters per second.
As the vanguard, Xiutu Hu galloped away without hesitation, reaching a distance of four to five miles in a matter of seconds, and plunged directly into the loose Xianbei settlement. There were dots of felt tents and livestock fences far apart, and people who hurriedly mounted their horses
The Xianbei herdsmen were completely unable to stop the Xiutu people's advance.
The thunderous sound of horse hooves did not stop at all. Accompanied by the sound of violent shouts and shouts, bowstrings vibrated, arrows penetrated the flesh, long knives were waved, and blood spurted out. Three thousand Xiu Tu cavalry passed by and went straight to the royal court at the foot of the mountain.
location.
Behind them were a thousand Xianbei assault cavalry who were running quickly to follow, and behind them were 700 heavily armored cavalry from the Northern Army's cavalry camp. They adjusted their formation and followed closely behind the Xianbei assault cavalry.
The two cavalrymen followed the bloody path that Xiu Tu had opened without stopping, with only Wang Ting in their eyes.
The two armies of 1,200 Yueqi led by Taishi Ci rushed into the settlement with them, but the Yueqi did not stop and rushed towards the south of the royal court.
What follows is Liu Xiang's command of 500 guards and 2,200 barbarian cavalry, who sweep the perimeter, hold the back roads, and prepare for support. This is their task until the infantry comes to take over.
Helian took away most of the young people, a few old people, young men with hairy breasts, and strong women with strong tempers, and became the main force of the Xianbei settlement. They faced the elite and fierce Han army.
The savage and easy-to-kill Hu people are slaughtering the barbarians. This is not a battle, it is a massacre.
There is no mercy on the battlefield. The enemy must die. Regardless of age or gender, a child with a knife and a bow can still kill people. Therefore, the dead enemy is the good guy. Only after victory can it be the turn of mercy.
Spears were stabbed, swords were stained with blood, arrows were harvested, corpses were lying around, felt bundles were on fire, tents collapsed, and the cattle and sheep in the pen screamed in panic, but no one came to comfort them.
On normal days, they would wake up at this time and be taken out for a feast by their master after the dew had cleared. But now, the master was red all over and sleeping on the ground not far away. The surroundings were extremely turbulent. They were very scared. Why did the master
Can't you get up to protect them? Usually when a wolf appears, the owner and the dog will protect them.
In their simple minds, they cannot understand human love, hatred, and hatred, and they will not rack their brains in wars to slaughter their own kind.
This war is coming to an end.
Liu Xiang led his army from the west. There are mountains to the north, cavalry raids to the south, and a way out to the east. People instinctively choose the visible way out. The Xianbei people, who lack young people and are unable to fight, first choose to fight.
Dong fled, the intensity of resistance was extremely low, and there were not many people who came to rescue Wang Ting.
It is said that it is a royal court. It has neither a palace nor a city wall. It is just a large group of felt tents located on the riverside not far from the foot of the mountain. There are several fences around the perimeter where cattle and sheep are kept. There are almost no fortifications.
The Xiutu people have already entered, as have the Xianbei assault cavalry and the Northern army's garrison cavalry.
He Lian wanted to play a big game. He saw a gap in the terrain and wanted to take advantage of the Han people's unpreparedness. He wanted to take a big bite of fat meat and mobilized too many young men. The peripheral affiliated tribes were unable to fight, and Wang Ting's defense was also unable to fight.
Extremely empty. He originally thought that by taking away all the young men from the nearby tribes, the royal court would naturally be stable, but after a flood, the blood flowed from Danhan Mountain.
The battle was much easier than Liu Xiang expected. When the infantry arrived and took over the task of sweeping the periphery, he brought 2,700 cavalry to support the Wangting battlefield. Su Wei broke through the shaky defense with one charge.
The army then cut, surrounded and massacred wantonly.
Then, he came to the golden tent of Xianbei Shanyu and saw more than a dozen Yan clan (yan zhi) from Helian.
Xianbei followed the custom of the Huns. The Huns called red and blue (flowers) cigarettes, that is, rouge. Married women used the colors made of cigarette flowers to decorate them. Therefore, married women were called Yan family, and Shanyu's wives and concubines were no exception.
The main wife can also be called Yanti.
The poem "The loss of my Yanzhi Mountain has made my women colorless." refers to the Huns' custom of marrying women.
Liu Xiang looked at a dozen trembling women. Some of them were quite pretty, but their clothing and makeup didn't quite fit his taste.
The fighting outside has not stopped yet, and Liu Xiang is not a man with a semen. The wives and concubines of a few Xianbei Chanyu will not make him stupid, and these people are still useful. Emperor Ling's old pervert, he will not
He lacks beauties, he lacks novelty, and he will probably never tire of conquering the temptation of Xianbei Shanyu Yan. These people sent them over to make firewood, boil bones and fry marrow. Even with his weak constitution, he doesn't know if he can bear it.
.
The body of the twenty-eight beauties looks like a crisp, and a sword is held at the waist to kill ordinary people. Although no heads are seen, secretly I teach you that the bones are withered.
There is an old saying: "Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and color is a steel knife that scrapes bones."
Ling Emperor Liu Hong, the sooner he dies, the better.
"Who is Helian's Yanti?"
"..."
I don’t know whether it was because he didn’t understand Chinese, he was scared, or there were other reasons, but no one answered Liu Xiang’s words.
"Catch a few chamberlains to identify them."
The captured chamberlain was brought over by Su Wei and checked around him. Yanti was not there. Someone saw Prince Qianman and Yanti escaping.
The war started very suddenly, and the speed of the attack was also very fast. They could not run far.
"Shi Ah, lead people to search."
Before Shi A went out, Jin Shangcheng escorted a woman holding a child to see him.
"General Qi, Helian's son He Yanti has been captured." After speaking, he said with some hesitation: "General, um, the royal guards have been wiped out. Our troops are willing to pursue and destroy the remaining enemies."
He was just chasing a remnant enemy, and he just wanted to ask if he could start robbing.
Liu Xiang said with a smile: "I never break my promise, so what I promised you will naturally count. You'd better intercept it from the east. Everyone has fled, but you can't grab anything."
"Thank you so much, general. Next time the general goes on an expedition, all he needs to do is bring a message, and the Xiutu warriors will definitely follow him."
"Go ahead."
Jin Shangcheng turned around and went out, scolding the tribesmen for gathering, and chased the fleeing people eastward.
After the Xiutu people left, Su Wei took control of the royal court, and the rest of the troops continued to sweep the periphery, killing those who resisted, and gathering prisoners.
The most interesting thing is that it is too early and the morning dew has not receded. It is not yet time to go out to graze. Most of the cattle and sheep do not need to be gathered all over the mountains and fields, which saves a lot of effort. After eating the dewy grass, the livestock
I don’t know if it’s true that people are easily sick. Let’s ask the old herdsmen again.
The nomadic people's way of fighting seems to have no concept of guarding the base. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity, it is like plowing the court and clearing the holes. If only it was this simple every time to fight the barbarians.
The Han army fought against the barbarians in the grassland for four hundred years. Every time, it was like searching the mountains and seas. Most of their efforts were spent on how to find the places where the barbarians lived. They fought head-on with real swords and guns. The Han army really did
