Chapter 12: Victory in the First Battle
The goshawk's arrows whizzed out of the string, and one of the horsemen behind Nacha happened to pull the reins. The goshawk's arrow was about to shoot at the back of Nacha's heart, but he didn't expect to be stopped by this guy.
With a "poof" long arrow, it went under the ribs of the Hun cavalryman. The Hun cavalry fell off his horse with an "ah". The goshawks tried to shoot again, but found that the snow mist rising from the horses' hooves had obscured their figures. In the haze, I couldn't tell which was the leader of Canghu's finger.
The helpless goshawk had to be blindfolded with an arrow, anyway, such a large group of people. It's hard to shoot people if you can't shoot people.
Sure enough, a Hun fell from his horse. But I don't know if it's the leader, Canghu restrained Xiang Yong's pursuit. Since the enemy is running against the sun, it must be a well-trained team. The reason why the poor Kou Mo chased was what Yun Xiao repeatedly warned them, and Yun Xiao only allowed them to chase and kill the defeated infantry. And for those cavalry with strong mobility, Yun Xiao did not allow them to pursue. The reason is simple, the horses are all about the same. Even if you catch up, you will be tired and half dead, and it is really not cost-effective to do so without special circumstances.
Gulbel snuck out of the carriage with the two bold little sisters, and there were several horses not far from them. Children on the prairie can walk and start riding horses, and horses with bare backbones are not a problem. What's more, these horses are all in full saddle.
When they heard the rumbling of horses' hooves, they knew that someone had come to their rescue. These maidens eagerly hoped that the Hun cavalry would defeat these damned Han Chinese and kill them all. The carcass was pulled to feed the dogs and wolves.
The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. The Hun cavalry was defeated. And it was a very miserable defeat. Of more than a hundred people, only twenty or thirty escaped in the end. While those Han people are cleaning up the battlefield, it is more appropriate to slip away.
"Wow," an arrow grazed Gu'er's face and nailed it to the carriage next to him. The tail of the arrow was still trembling, and Gu'er was stunned and touched his hot face. Fortunately, it was not scratched by the arrow. My face is beautiful, and it would be bad if it was scratched and left with a scar.
Big eyes looked in the direction where the arrows were fired, and the goshawks on their horses were looking at them coldly with their bows and arrows.
"Get in." Gu'er looked at the man on the horse in disbelief, he was actually speaking Xiongnu. And his eyes are pale blue, which is very different from those black-eyed Han people. Could it be that he is also a Huns?
"Get out of here," Goshawk said again, pulling his bow.
If it weren't for the fact that only a few girls were found today, the arrow just now would have pierced Gulbelsu's head. Hou Ye said. A woman is a beautiful woman with a particular resource. These women will be transported back to the Yun family Zhuangzi. As a trophy, it was left to the villagers to receive. The first leader with the big credit, and the second leader with the small credit. When you return home, you can be a slave or a slave, or you can be a wife or a concubine. Whatever, these people can't get into slavery. In Dahan, their status is equivalent to that of livestock. Even if they were killed, no one would care.
Hou Ye said. This expedition and return to the hometown, the brave people have rich rewards. As long as one year of service. Help the Yun family train new village warriors, and they can retire. Zhang Shisan has already started recruiting in Jiangnan according to Yun Xiao's standards, and he must be able to see a thousand recruits with childish faces when he goes back.
Let a group of people serve for a long time, although it can train a hundred battle elite soldiers. However, once these people have lost, it is difficult to replenish them. The military service system is also a helpless choice, and the Yun family can only raise a thousand villagers. Whether in terms of policy or economy, this is the limit that the Yun family can bear.
After serving a group of people who went to the battlefield to engage in practice, they were arranged to retire. Only the elite among them will be left as officers, and of course, the retired non-commissioned officers will naturally settle in Yunjia Zhuangzi. In this way, if the army is hidden from the people, maybe in ten years, Yun Xiao will be able to pull up a team of 10,000 people at any time.
Gu'er Besu and her little sister trembled and re-boarded the carriage, never daring to run away again. A man can't outrun a horse, let alone a bow and arrow. If the arrow just missed a little, his life would be confessed.
The first cavalry duel in the field ended with the victory of the Han cavalry, or the Yun cavalry. Seventy-three corpses of the Huns were found, and they all collected their blades, cut off their heads, and put them in the empty carts. It just so happens that today is not as much as yesterday, and there are a lot of empty cars.
The goshawk went to check for himself and made sure he hadn't shot the guy with the white feather on his head. I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and I whipped the horse whip and returned to Canghu's side with a depressed face.
"Seventeen of them were trampled to death by horses, and more than twenty were wounded. It seems that it takes some luck to survive on the battlefield, and the arrows of the Huns are not very good. You see, this one is fucking made of ground bones, and it's fucking damn that an arrow like this can penetrate armor. ”
The tiger handed the goshawk an arrow, and sure enough, the arrow was made of some bone that I don't know what kind of bone it was made of.
"I've seen this kind of bone arrow in Seoul. Batu said that the Huns' iron smelting technology was very poor. They were also short of iron, and they often used bone arrows when hunting. It's like we use arrows casually, and the arrows they can use after the war must be recovered. I don't know how the gang of wastes on the Eastern Front beat it, but they let people surround it. Last time the eldest brother came to say, thousands of people died in a day.
A general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops, if we go to the Hou Ye...... Hey. ”
"Don't talk about state affairs, have you forgotten Brother Jì's entrustment! Shout that these boys should hurry up and clean up, and they will enter the city in the dark when it is too late. ”
The goshawk returned the bone arrow to the tiger and shouted at the villagers to hurry up. If it is delayed like this, it will definitely not be possible to return to Seoul before dark.
packed up these Hun cavalry, and gathered the war horses that could be used. The bodies of the war dead were carried into the vacant wagon, next to which the heads of the enemy were placed.
The brigade hurried back to Seoul, and when they returned to the city, it was already completely dark. The entire city was pitch black, and only one silhouette could be seen in the haze. Like a huge beast, ready to choose people to devour.
The scouts at the head had already passed the news to the city, when it was still ten miles away from the city of Seoul. Canghu met Dai Yu, who led the three hundred villagers to come to respond.
"I heard that I met the Hun cavalry, and the Hou Ye asked me to pick you up."
Through the light transmission, Dai Yu led the villagers to surround both sides of the team.
"Yes, I met a group of Huns. It's probably more than a hundred, and the combat power is very high, but the guy is a little worse. We killed seventeen and killed more than seventy. Most of them were killed by iron-tired crossbows. The rest were cavalry guns, and the sabers did not hack a few. ”
Canghu and Dai Yu rode side by side, introducing the battle.
As soon as he entered the city of Yinhan, Canghu saw the clouds guarding the city gate. (To be continued......)
