Chapter 653: The Dragon Flag Flys
This autumn war is no longer of much significance to Li Xin, and he will definitely not be named Chehou if he wins, because the Xiongnu Shan Yu was killed by Jiang Hu last time, this time it is at most a sweep, to assist Jiang Hu, the newly rising Hou Ye, to completely exterminate the Huns, as for the King of Donghu, it was left by the emperor to Wang Li, as long as Wang Li killed the King of Donghu, this time he will inevitably be named Chehou again, and the Wang family will become the most prominent family in the entire Great Qin world, and no one can match it except the royal family.
In September, the Hexi grassland in late autumn had begun to snow, and in the howling wind, groups of ragged Xiongnu captives drove large herds of cattle, sheep and horses to the Central Plains.
Among the captives, women, children, old and children, wept and wailed all the way, but the escorted soldiers did not have half of pity, and the leather whip waved the skin of these captives, and hundreds of thousands of Huns were displaced all the way and cried and finally arrived near the border pass, and then were placed down to build a city and reclaim the wasteland, and the soldiers and prisoners of the Great Qin border pass lived together for grazing and farming, and most of the strong prisoners were continued to be escorted to various parts of the Central Plains, or rewarded to the nobles or sold in the slave market, raising horses, mining, building roads, and cultivating is their future life. Since then, he has left his hometown and become a powerful force in the construction of Daqin.
Although the Xiongnu have been expelled from Hebei, Daqin is unable to govern the occupied area at all, so it can only be temporarily abandoned, and it is still bounded by the Great Wall, relying on the border people of the garrison and these Xiongnu captives to slowly develop to the north.
The earth was too big, and the Qin State was seriously undernumbered, so there was no need to migrate the people of the Central Plains to occupy the vast grasslands that could not be cultivated.
This was Chen Xu's suggestion, and the emperor nodded in agreement without too much hesitation.
And just when a large number of Xiongnu captives migrated south, a large number of booty also began to arrive in the Central Plains counties under the transportation of countless caravans, cattle, sheep, horses and wool fur goods piled up into a mountain, the number of cattle and sheepskins alone was not less than a million, these used to be military materials, but now the army has not been used up, can only be dumped to the people in large quantities, in previous years, a sheepskin that needed a hundred dollars now only needs thirty or fifty dollars, ordinary small rich families can afford to enjoy it, buy it home to make leather clothes against the cold.
And because of the emergence of sweaters, high-quality wool has also become an indispensable thing for wealthy families to keep out the cold, it is already late autumn, these wool transported to the Central Plains is definitely a robbery of materials, two or three catties of fine wool can weave a sweater, wear on the body is light and warm, more than ten times better than thick and heavy and very flavorful fur, and coarse wool is also bought in large quantities and woven into blankets, cushioned on chairs and beds, softer and more comfortable than reed silk linen, and more upgrade.
After entering the autumn, Qinghe Hotel has begun to use wool blanket mats, and Qinghe Houfu has been using them as early as Xiaohe Village.
Therefore, after the new use of wool was developed, special wool workshops appeared in many places, and a large number of weavers were gathered to start spinning wool, and many women also began to knit sweaters and blankets at home, which became another easy-to-make industry.
In mid-September, after careful planning and coordination, the two armies of Jiang Hu and Li Xin waited until a night of heavy snowfall, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Xiongnu entrenched in the northwest corner of the Hetao from the southeast, south, and north.
The flying goose feathers and snow roared and rolled in the wind like a giant dragon, and the sky and the earth were like chaos.
With the whining and muffled horn of the bull horn sounded from all directions, and then the ground trembled, and countless black-armored Daqin iron horsemen stepped through the wind and snow, like heavenly soldiers and generals, suddenly appeared, the black dragon flag was hula in the wind and snow, and the heavily armed Daqin soldiers held steel weapons and bows and crossbows and pounced on the panicked Huns.
For the raid on Hebei after the opening of the Great Qin Kaichun, the Xiongnu here have long been ready to fight.
But after a few months of persistence, it has slowly entered the late autumn, so the defense of the Huns has begun to slowly relax, especially recently, the temperature has been decreasing, the cold and heavy snow weather has arrived, the Huns have completely begun to scatter, and they have never heard of the record that the Central Plains army will attack in this snowy weather before.
But just when they were slackening, the Great Qin army suddenly appeared.
In the face of the panicked and panicked Huns, the Qin army of 20,000 outflanked rushed into the gathering place of the Huns around the lake like a group of tigers and wolves, after a few rounds of arrow rain, the Huns who were in a hurry to prepare for war fell to the ground and wailed and rolled like cutting wheat, and then the Great Qin soldiers drew their sabers and roared angrily and began to chop and kill at close range, and the army of 20,000 tigers and wolves was interspersed and staggered within a radius of 100 miles, and the tents were torn apart by sharp sabers, and the Qin army rode into the tents like killing gods. As long as there is any weapon in the hand, they will be killed on the spot, the horse's hooves trample over the fire pit in the tent, the splashing charcoal fire ignites the tent, the tents begin to burn and emit smoke, many disheveled and thinly clothed Hun women began to scatter and flee, facing the fierce Daqin soldiers can only lie on the ground in the ice and snow trembling and crying.
It was a long-planned battle, and therefore a long-planned massacre.
In the face of these barbarian races that had plagued the Central Plains every year, there was no mercy or mercy in the eyes of the Great Qin soldiers.
Iron hooves trampled on the corpses all over the ground, blood beads flew on the sharp saber, bursting out of blood flowers in the wind and snow, and then splashed in the snow and quickly solidified, and then trampled by countless horses' hooves to make messy blood and mud.
Puff puff puff arrows flew through the air, screams and falling to the ground one after another, dragon flags flying, blood splashed, smoke rolled, roaring and shouting filled this beautiful and rich pearl like a pearl in the south of the Yangtze River.
"General, there is a group of Huns fleeing into the mountains to the west!" A blood-covered and hideous looking lieutenant rushed to Jiang Hu and shouted, with three bald-tailed feather arrows stuck in his body, his face was pale and looked crumbling.
"General, go down and pursue!" Next to Jiang Hu, Yingbu wiped the blood on his face and yelled.
"Okay, Captain Ying will lead the soldiers of this school to pursue, don't be careless, if you can't catch up, return immediately!" Jiang Hu thought for a moment and nodded.
"Oh~, sons, follow the captain of the school to hunt down and kill the Hun barbarians!" Yingbu raised the spear in his hand and shouted.
"Driving~driving~~" Hundreds of soldiers around heard the sound, and followed Yingbu with sabers in hand, and disappeared in the vast wind and snow in an instant.
"With Ben will continue to kill the Huns, anyone who dares to resist will be killed!" Jiang Hu raised the long knife in his hand and shouted.
"Kill~Kill~Kill~"
A violent roar sounded in all directions at the same time, the cold light of the sword flickered in the wind and snow, every time it rose and fell, there would always be a splash of blood, stimulated by the strong bloody breath, everyone was blood-red like a beast that chose to devour people, and wanted to tear all the Hun warriors in front of him to pieces.
The battle on the shore of the lake lasted all day.
The next pursuit lasted for another three days, with the center of the Great Lake, the three-day battle expanded to an area of thousands of miles, and the mountains, forests, grasslands, and rivers were all battlefields.
Although Li Xin and Jiang Hu were well prepared and planned, but the Huns were still well prepared in advance, after the Qin army began the first round of killing, the Hun nobles who were protected by the tribe in the center still organized tens of thousands of soldiers to resist, although there was no stirrup and saddle This is a sharp weapon suitable for rushing into battle, but the combat effectiveness of the Huns who have long been accustomed to riding horses and archery is still very terrifying, after several rounds of arrows on both sides, the Huns knelt half, and the Qin army also fell from the horse and suffered a lot of casualties.
But after all, the Qin army came prepared, and all of them were equipped with double-layer leather armor, and the generals were wearing rhinoceros and cowhide armor and even copper helmets and bronze armor, in order to be prepared to attack unprepared, the Huns still did not carry the fierce Qin army, after half an hour of hand-to-hand combat, the Huns scattered and fled, several nobles were killed, and a few surrendered, and the rest took advantage of the vast wind and snow to flee in the remaining veins of the Yin Mountains in the west.
Three days later, the heavy snow had already stopped, the earth was white, and the corpses of tens of thousands of Huns who had been killed were scattered within a radius of thousands of miles, like firewood and grass covered by snow, and the horses' hooves stepped on, and from time to time a frozen corpse would be kicked out.
Li Xin and Jiang Hu had already converged at this time, and they were sitting in a big cowhide tent to warm themselves.
The tent was a mess, and there were splatters of dried blood in many places.
There was also a lamb on the fire pit in the center, which had been roasted golden brown at this time, and the fat was dripping into the fire pit, and the whole tent exuded a strong smell of barbecue.
Several young Hun women knelt beside the fire and waited.
Hundreds of close guards stood around the tent with their hands on the hilts of their swords.
"Captain Ying has not returned!" Jiang Hu asked as he cut off a large piece of meat from the roast sheep with a saber and gnawed on it.
"Back to the general, there is no news from Captain Ying yet!" The guard's answer came from outside the tent.
"Alas~" Jiang Hu lost his appetite in an instant.
"General Jiang is not too depressed, the day before yesterday the wind and snow were too big, and the road in this mountain is not clear, even if there is any accident, it has nothing to do with you, there are more than 3,000 soldiers looking for in the mountains, and if you can't find it, you can only give up, after returning to Xianyang, tell the Qinghe Hou truthfully, I don't think he will blame you, don't worry, I will help you explain when the time comes!" Li Xin also comforted while nibbling on roast mutton.
"Alas, before leaving, the Marquis of Qinghe entrusted Yingbu to me, and I said so at the time, but Captain Ying is indeed a fierce general, attacking Hebei and killing more than 200 people alone, killing the Xiongnu Xinshan Yu Tuluo, this battle killed dozens of people by one person, and also killed a nobleman, although he was hit by two arrows, he still fought hard, and even blocked an arrow for me, if such a great general's talent is lost, I feel deeply heartbroken......" Jiang Hu shook his head in a depressed mood.
