Chapter 215 Running Thousands of Miles, Sealing Wolf and Living in Xu II
On the grasslands of the North, thousands of horses galloped past one after another, leaving only flying dust on the ground.
The knights on horseback all had cold and determined expressions, looking straight at the distant sky ahead.
This unit is the three thousand cavalry sent by Cao Cao to attack the Huns. In the eyes of ordinary people, the chance of victory in this trip is very small, and it is even the same as death. But they will not care about this at all, as long as they are still the Han Dynasty
Soldiers who will go to die for their country without hesitation.
It is the duty of a soldier to regard death as if he were dead; it is the destiny of a soldier to wrap his body in horse leather.
Running at the forefront of the cavalry were Xia Houyuan, Gao Shun, Guan Yu, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu.
In addition to Xia Houyuan, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu were originally the commanders of Cao's cavalry, so they naturally had to accompany the army on this trip.
Gao Shun's trapped camp suffered a great loss and was being replenished and restored at this time. Therefore, Gao Shun felt that rather than idle in Jiuyuan City, he might as well take the initiative to apply to attack the Xiongnu and show his power in a foreign land. What a majesty and credit it would be! Although
Most people felt that this trip was very dangerous and could even lead to death, but Gao Shun had great trust in Lu Xun. He firmly believed that since Lu Xun made such a suggestion, he must be very sure of winning the battle.
Guan Yu originally wanted to fight the aliens, so he had not left Cao Ying until now. Guan Yu was already ready to leave, but he didn't want to hear the news that 200,000 alien coalition troops were about to invade the country at this time.
Guan Yu had no intention of joining his brother. Now Guan Yu only wanted to eliminate these invading enemies as soon as possible and restore peace to the border. Only in this way could he return to his brother with peace of mind. Therefore, Guan Yu also took the initiative.
Apply to Cao Cao to join the crusade against the Xiongnu.
"Report, a Xiongnu tribe has been spotted ahead." The cavalry scout sent out by Xia Houyuan reported back.
"Approximately how many people are there?" Xia Houyuan asked.
"There are less than a thousand people, and those who can fight visually estimate that there are about 200." The scout replied.
"Destroy it!" Xia Houyuan said in a cold tone.
Lu Xun, Jia Xu and other counselors have all explained before that the key to this trip is to be surprised. Before the Huns can react, they can catch them off guard with lightning speed. If the Huns are prepared, then this
Three thousand people went to fight against the Xiongnu army. It was like using a mantis as a chariot and dying in vain.
Therefore, all Xiongnu tribes encountered on the way must be slaughtered in order to prevent the news of the passing army from leaking out.
This is not cruelty, but the essence of war. Before this, Xia Houyuan and his party had slaughtered a tribe.
If the targets of the massacre were Han people, maybe some Cao Jun soldiers would feel compassion and could not bear to attack defenseless people. But slaughtering these Huns would have no psychological burden on Cao Jun. Even Guan Yu, who was known for his integrity, killed
Even ordinary Xiongnu herdsmen showed no mercy.
Those who are not of my race must have different minds. These alien races will just die. What's the pity?
Only Gao Shun, who came from later generations, could not accept this. Although he knew that these Huns were also one of the murderers of China in the original history, he watched helplessly as the herdsmen, even the elderly and children, who had no power to resist, were brutally killed.
Gao Shun always felt very uncomfortable about the killing.
However, Gao Shun will not stop anything. He was not a good person in his previous life. After traveling ten years now, he has almost integrated with this era. Although he is still a little disgusted with the massacre, Gao Shun can do his best to not
I am just participating in it, and I will not deliberately ask others to change anything.
Besides, Gao Shun also knows that these aliens have always been afraid of power and not moral. No matter how kind you are to him, he will still bite you back when he is weak.
The cavalry galloped wildly in the wilderness, and the tribe soon came into view.
The herdsmen in the tribe were not aware of the danger at all and were still doing what they were doing.
Suddenly, the frantic sound of horse hooves violently broke into everyone's ears. Everyone was frightened and looked around in panic.
I saw rows of murderous knights galloping towards their tribe on their horses, killing everyone on sight, regardless of age or sex.
"There are enemies! The Han are attacking!" the Huns shouted in horror.
But their shouts had no effect. Cao's cavalry did not leave them any chance to resist or escape. Each knight waved the sharp spear in his hand, harvesting the lives of the Huns one after another.
Things happened suddenly. One moment, the Huns were enjoying a peaceful and stable life on the grasslands, and the next moment, killing and death suddenly came to them. No one was prepared, and the Huns, who pride themselves on their bravery, would not do it anyway.
They thought that the Han people, who had always been weak in their eyes, went all the way to the grassland and waved their butcher's knives at them!
There was blood splattering and miserable wailing everywhere, and Huns were killed by Cao's knights every moment.
No one will sympathize with them, because for hundreds of years, the number of Han people killed by the Huns will only be greater. The so-called blood debt must be paid with blood. As for words such as "When will retribution be repaid?", it has always been the court.
The iron-blooded soldiers insisted on by the rotten scholars above never believed in those hypocritical and useless moral principles.
After a period of massacre, the warriors in the tribe began to react and launched counterattacks one after another. However, there were only 200 warriors in this tribe, and they counterattacked hastily. The attack was very piecemeal and did not pose any threat to Cao's army.
In less than half an hour, the Xiongnu tribe was completely slaughtered. No matter they were Xiongnu warriors or ordinary herdsmen, no one escaped alive, not even the elderly, women and children were spared.
As for Cao's army, except for one unlucky cavalryman who unfortunately fell off his horse and died, there were no casualties. The number of injured was only eight.
"The whole army will take a short rest before setting out again!" Xia Houyuan ordered loudly.
