The man was an agile shooter. He succeeded in one move and immediately rushed to the side. There were several pairs of skis there. Apparently this man had been observing for a long time and knew that the reason why the Han soldiers were able to walk on the snow like flying was relying on this piece of equipment.
Strange things.
The Han soldiers who reacted gathered around him one after another, but although the man's sword skills were mediocre, his strength was surprisingly strong, and three soldiers were injured by his sword in succession.
Zhao Yun was furious, and rushed over with a bright silver gun in his hand. The man had already grabbed a pair of skis, and stepped on them without thinking. With a push of his feet, the skis flew out with a "whoosh", and then there was a sound
There was a loud "plop", and a large human-shaped pit appeared on the snow. The man was lying on his back in the snow cave, and the scimitar in his hand had been thrown far away.
The man didn't know how to use skis, so he fell down all of a sudden. He managed to get up half of his body, but he didn't dare to move anymore. A sharp spear point was pressed against his throat. There were already several Han soldiers.
They rushed over, held him down, and dragged him up from the snow. Four or five steel knives were placed on his neck, and he was unable to recover.
Huchuquan also came over, took a closer look, shook his head, and said: "Back to the general, he is not Liu Bao, he is the leader of another tribe, called Huluqi. He is extremely powerful and is also a famous warrior among the Xiongnu tribes.
.”
Zhao Yun couldn't help but kicked Hu Luqi hard and cursed angrily: "You are not Liu Bao, why are you running away! Tell me, where is Liu Bao?"
Hu Luqi actually understood Chinese. After hearing what Zhao Yun said, he realized that they were not looking for him, but Liu Bao. He hurriedly said in blunt Chinese: "I haven't seen him since the war started, and I don't know either."
Know where he is."
Hu Chuquan stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, general. As long as we poke these corpses one by one, Liu Bao won't be able to escape even if he's not dead."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "Forget it, arrange for your people to start digging holes."
After all, Zhao Yun felt that adding another stab to the corpse was not what a gentleman would do. His purpose was just to prevent Liu Bao from running away. After the big hole was dug, he would throw the corpses in and cover them with soil, even if Liu Bao pretended to be dead.
If they were buried alive, why bother bothering those who were already dead?
Huchuquan was now determined to join the big man, so how could he dare to disobey Zhao Yun's order and hurriedly sent people back to the camp to gather the clan members. After a while, many people came from the camp. Not only the 15,000 cavalry who were preparing to fight came,
, and many young and strong women from his tribe were also called over. Thirty to forty thousand people sweated profusely and worked hard. By the fourth watch, a big pit was finally dug.
Zhao Yun gave an order, and the Han soldiers dragged up the corpses of the Huns cavalry and threw them into the pit one by one. From the beginning to the end, no one was found pretending to be dead. These tasks could have made the tribesmen in Huchuquan
However, in order to prevent favoritism, Zhao Yun decided to let his own people do it, so that he could rest assured.
Until the big pit was filled with soil again, Huchuquan ordered dozens of war horses to be galloped back and forth on it, completely leveling the place. I believe that by the beginning of next spring, the grass here will grow extremely lush. Zhao Yun is looking forward to it
Looking at it, except that there was no snow, there was not much difference between it and other places. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Although he did not finally see Liu Bao's body, in this way, he could not help but sigh.
There should be no more physiology.
After being busy for most of the night, the east was already pale. Huchuquan pointed at the captured Huns cavalry and asked cautiously: "May I ask the general, how to deal with these people?"
These Huns cavalry also participated in the work of digging holes, and in order to show that they had sincerely surrendered, they worked particularly hard. It is no wonder that according to the rules on the grassland, they were defeated and became prisoners, so they should become
Slaves, and slaves are coolies without personal freedom.
Hu Chuquan knew that it was impossible for the Han army to escort all the captives back to the Central Plains, so he thought of taking these captives. These captives were all young and strong men. If they were kept in his tribe as slaves, his tribe would be in trouble.
You can herd more cattle, sheep, and horses, and you can earn more supplies from future trade.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun said calmly: "As long as these people are willing to submit to my Han Dynasty, they will become my Han people's subjects from now on, so naturally they will be released."
The captured Huns cavalry originally thought that they would be reduced to slavery if they were not dead. After hearing the interpreter repeating Zhao Yun's words, they did not expect that Zhao Yun actually decided to let them go. They couldn't help but make a commotion. Many people's eyes gradually became wet, and they fell down one after another.
On the ground, he kowtowed to Zhao Yun and murmured some Huns words that Zhao Yun could not understand. The interpreter hurriedly relayed them to Zhao Yun, all words of gratitude.
Huchuquan's face was full of disappointment. He knew very well that with the fighting power of the Han army, it was a certainty that the Xiongnu tribes would merge with the Han Dynasty. Since everyone was a subject of the Han Dynasty, it would be difficult for them to conflict with each other.
If you miss today, you may never have the chance to obtain so many slaves. However, Zhao Yun is an official and he is a citizen, and these people were captured by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun said that he would release these people, so how could he dare to stop them?
Woolen cloth?
Although there was no specific explanation of this matter in Liu Xin's order, Zhao Yun also had his own calculations. The tribes to which these Xiongnu cavalry belonged were obviously in different camps from Huchuquan. If these prisoners were all classified as Huchuquan,
If they become slaves of the Huchuquan tribe, the original tribes of these Xiongnu cavalry will be greatly weakened, and it is very likely that the Huchuquan family will dominate the Xiongnu tribes. Zhao Yun believes that this will
This situation is also something Liu Xin doesn't want to see.
Zhao Yun asked the interpreter to tell the prisoners Liu Xin's policy towards the Xiongnu ministries, and asked Huchuquan to prepare horses and dry food for them. Of course, the dry food prepared by Huchuquan would not be fried noodles, but just some dried meat.
That's all.
Huchuquan failed to get these prisoners as slaves as he wished, and had to distribute dried meat to them. He was somewhat reluctant. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Huluqi who was being escorted aside by several Han soldiers. He couldn't help but raise his hands and said: "I dare to ask."
General, how should he deal with it?"
Zhao Yun glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "Kill."
Hu Lu was shocked and shouted: "General, I am willing to submit to the Han Dynasty sincerely, please let me go!"
Xia Houlan also held up his hands and advised: "General, my lord has strict orders not to torture or kill prisoners. General, please think twice!"
Although Zhao Yun only met Hulu Qi for the first time, he was deeply impressed by him. Huchuquan said that he was a famous warrior of the Xiongnu, and he had indeed killed Huchuquan's cronies and three of them with just a few moves.
He was a Han soldier who was ruthless and ferocious, and was worthy of the name of a warrior. Not only that, he was also quite cunning in being able to think of pretending to be dead to escape in the midst of the chaos.
Liu Xin asked the Xiongnu tribes to merge with the Han Dynasty in order to make the Xiongnu tribes become obedient people of the Han Dynasty, herding horses and herding sheep for the Han Dynasty. This Huluqi obviously did not seem to be willing to be an obedient citizen. How could Zhao Yun keep him? He couldn't help but sneered: "
Such a vicious and treacherous person, what use do I have for him? Kill him!"
The Han soldiers who were guarding Hu Luqi hated him for hurting the lives of his three brothers after the battle. After hearing Zhao Yun's order, they almost unanimously waved the steel sword in their hands, and in a moment, Hu Luqi was killed.
Chop them all into minced meat.
The captured Huns cavalry were listening to the interpreter describing a beautiful blueprint for the future for them. Suddenly they heard a scream coming from here. They all looked around and saw the scene of Hu Luqi being torn apart by random blades. Unconsciously,
Everyone was terrified.
Zhao Yun said loudly: "The tribes of Huchuquan, Chiwule, and Gutu'an have surrendered to my Han Dynasty. They are all my Han people's subjects, so they are protected by my Han army. From now on, as long as you can be my Han army with peace of mind,
My people, your safety will naturally be protected by the Han soldiers. However, if anyone dares to violate the law, this Hu Luqi will be an example!"
What he said was so convincing that all the prisoners had pale faces.
Zhao Yun pointed to the horses that had prepared dry food again, with a smile on his face, and said: "Those who are willing to submit to me and become my subjects can now receive the dry food for the horses and go back to your own tribe. But.
, as long as you receive dry food and horses, it is equivalent to making a promise. If anyone dares to be my enemy in the future, my Han soldiers will swear to destroy his entire clan!"
The sky was getting brighter, and the battlefield that had been noisy all night finally calmed down. Most of the captured Huns cavalry took their rations and horses and left. Only some who were seriously injured and had difficulty moving remained in the Han army's camp to continue receiving medical treatment.
.The Han soldiers and the Huchuquan tribesmen who had been awake for almost the whole night also returned to their camps. What they wanted to do most now was to have a good sleep.
There was not a single figure visible on the battlefield. Shocking red flowers were still blooming on the white snow. The air was still filled with a pungent smell of blood, attracting a large group of crows to circle in the sky. However, no one could find anything to offer.
Their goal is to fill their stomachs.
The snow that had been dyed crimson by blood seemed to move slightly, and then a large piece of it arched up, and suddenly a person emerged from it. The person's body was covered with blood, and he had a pair of fierce blood-red eyes.
He looked around and saw that it was Liu Bao.
Indeed, as Hu Chuquan said, Liu Bao was cunning by nature. After he knew that the opponent he faced was Liu Xin's army, he had a plan. While the two sides were fighting hand-to-hand, he pretended to fall off his horse.
, lying on the ground, and then slowly dug a hole in the snow with his machete.
It was quite dangerous to do this. At that time, people and horses were coming and going. If he was accidentally stepped on by a horse's hoof, he would be paralyzed even if he did not die. However, Liu Bao had no way out. He would die if he ran away, and he would die if he continued to fight.
, he had no choice but to take a gamble. As a result, he succeeded!
