Chapter 10 Withdrawal of troops
The black-armored cavalry almost immediately abandoned the siege vehicle and rushed into the distance. Amu excitedly raised his bow and arrows and roared on the city wall, and his face, which was originally a little pale with nervousness, was now red with excitement.
Da Shan Yu's men and horses finally arrived, and even the black-armored cavalry couldn't stop Da Dan Yu's iron cavalry. Despite their valiant and good fighting, they were forced to retreat in the face of ten times their own forces.
The military minister Shan Yu excitedly entered the county seat of Shuoxian, which was the first heavy result of this expedition. What's even more rare is that Amu only needed to see a thousand people to capture this city with a population of tens of thousands.
The door of the treasury was split open by a giant axe, and there was not much money inside. But it was enough to make the military ministers spend money for a while, and the most rare thing was that they also captured a hundred four-wheeled carriages. Compared with the grain on the cart, this kind of carriage with a very strong loading capacity is what the military ministers only value.
"King Huqiang, this thousand horsemen under your command is really good! A thousand people have done such a big thing. How about it, it's good to let such people come to work in my headquarters! ”
The military minister Shan Yu looked at Amu with a smile, but the words he said made King Huqiang's heart cold. Amu is his right-hand man, and he wants to leave in a word. Isn't this dismantling your own platform, where will you go to find such an excellent Qianqi in the future.
seemed to understand King Huqiang's thoughts, and the military minister Shan Yu laughed. Turning back to King Hu Qiang, he said, "I don't want you in vain, this Shuoxian county was fought down by your subordinates." Naturally, it will be at your disposal, as for the money in this treasury. And it was given to these warriors who fought in battle, and although it was not much, it was still considerable to give them a thousand. ”
That's a lot of money. It stands to reason that a large order is something that only needs one sentence for an important person. King Huqiang can only be regarded as the chief of a large tribe under his command. This time, the people in the county seat of Shuoxian County, plus their wealth, were rewarded to King Huqiang, in exchange for Amu being enough to give King Huqiang face.
"Xie Da Shan Yu." King Huqiang's face still did not change very well, because he knew that Amu's value was not comparable to that of these tens of thousands of people. But since Da Danyu opened his mouth, he gave himself such a rich reward. King Huqiang had no choice but to agree.
With more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Da Danyu, Amu no longer has to be afraid of those black-armored cavalry. His men roared and rushed into the treasury, filling the air with money and supplies.
"Da Shan Yu, there is something to report to Da Shan Yu." Amu bowed to Da Shan Yu and said.
"What's the matter? Go ahead! You're now a big single person in the main department, so you don't have to be so restrained. Da Shan Yu replied to Amu with a smile, looking very kind.
"Qi Yu Da Dan Yu. Just before the soldiers and horses of Da Dan Yu arrived. The black-armored cavalry had just attempted to storm the city. Now the siege engines are still left outside the city. ”
"Black-armored cavalry, which black-armored cavalry." Da Dan Yu suddenly stopped, staring at Amu with surprise in his eyes.
"It's the black-armored cavalry that often fights with us, and their military armor and tactics are almost exactly the same as that black-armored cavalry."
"Really?" The military minister said suspiciously.
"The siege engine is just outside the city. And I have seen them in all my men at the south gate. The big order can be checked if you don't believe it. ”
"BOC Yue ......"
Thirty miles from Shuo County. Wei Qing took the reins. The people and horses under his command were sweating. If you run any further, you will hurt your horsepower.
"General, the Huns didn't chase after you. Rest here for a while, or you'll hurt your horse. A Yulin lieutenant behind him said to Wei Qing,
"Then take a break. Unleash the Scout Realm. Wei Qing dismounted and brushed the mane of his mount with his hand. The red armor of the entire team of feathers was painted black armor, wrapped in a white cloak. It is very similar to the armor of the Yun family, and people who don't know it really think that this is really the cavalry of the Yun family.
"General, will this plan work? Can you really scare away the Hun cavalry? The lieutenants gathered around and asked Wei Qingdao.
"What if you can't do it, do you really think that with more than 1,000 of us, we can defeat tens of thousands of Hun cavalry. Our foot soldiers were slow, and the Huns ran for several hours. Our foot soldiers are tired and tired, and they can't necessarily catch up after running all day. This battle was not fought, only to use the prestige of Yunhou to intimidate the Huns.
Let them think that the Yun family's cavalry is still there, so that they will not send a thousand troops out to loot without scruples. The tragedy that happened in Shuo County will not happen to other counties. Besides, the farmers did not cultivate and were raised by the imperial court. It's okay for two months a month, but the court can't afford to raise it after a long time.
If the Xiongnu could not maintain their military resources by plundering, they would not be able to stay for a long time. He understands this, so as long as he can't send a thousand troops to raid. He will definitely be a charioteer. ”
"General, Yunhou's cavalry is really so powerful. Are the Huns really so afraid of them? "The one who asked was Yu Lin, who had not been trained in the Yun family, and most of Wei Qing's subordinates were such people. These people were recruited by Wei Qing and trained by Wei Qing. On weekdays, when I listen to those veterans who have been trained in the Yun family talk about the Yun family, they are all envious of that kind of army.
"Yunhou's cavalry is the first iron cavalry of my Han Dynasty, and there are two landscapes of 10,000 people in front of Gaozu's mausoleum, you know. This is the result of Yun Hou and his black-armored guards in front of Lingwu Pass in March. I heard that at that time, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu poured out tens of thousands of cavalry in his headquarters to storm Lingwu Pass. At that time, Yunhou's black-armored guards were only 2,000 people.
Not to mention, Yunhou slaughtered and drank Seoul. Leading the iron cavalry to sweep the desert steppe, if it weren't for my momentary negligence back then. Maybe the military minister Shan Yu will be killed. ”
Wei Qing looked at the direction of Shuoxian County, and couldn't help but sigh a little.
These lieutenants are not stupid, and they know that Yunhou's rebellion against the Han is not unrelated to the emperor's brother-in-law in front of him. Some interested guys hurriedly changed the topic: "General, those tens of thousands of people in Nashuo County are going to watch them escort away like this?" That's all big people! ”
"If you don't look at what you can do, we only have more than a thousand people. Even if Yunhou is here, he can only escape. The army dispatched by the captain is still a hundred miles away, and according to the footsteps of the foot soldiers, they will have to arrive here tomorrow at the earliest. No one is fast, what can be done. Wei Qing was annoyed that the Han were all infantry who lacked mobility.
"We can ask General Gongsun He to speed up the march."
"Haven't you read the Art of War? Such a forced march, even if it arrives, it is a tired soldier. I don't know how many people will be left behind along the way, but it's good to be halfway there. Can such an army still fight?
Let's go, go and meet this General Gongsun He. Tomorrow I will enter the county seat of Shuo County and wipe the buttocks of the Huns. ”
Wei Qing rode his war horse first and galloped in the direction of Gongsun Helai.
The military minister Shan Yu was shocked, could it be that the intelligence was wrong, and the black-armored cavalry did not rebel against the big man. It's in Shandong, otherwise it wouldn't have appeared in front of his eyes so soon.
Now they are afraid that their tens of thousands of elite horsemen dare not attack, but it does not mean that they dare not attack these thousand troops sent out by themselves to grab food. According to past experience, in the case of equal numbers, the Hun cavalry could not please them at all.
But Ma Yi still needs people to besiege, and he can't strengthen the scale of the grain grabbing team. The Han people's strong walls and clear fields made him have a big head, and often a team of 1,000 people went out for two or three days without gain. If there were no more than 100 truckloads of grain that Amu snatched back, there would still be only a small and half granary left in Shuoxian County. In a few days, the Hun army will be hungry.
"King Huqiang, what should you do about the current situation?"
The military minister Shan Yu was no longer the first to ask Zhongxingyue, which was a dangerous signal for Zhongxingyue. If a dog is not liked by its owner, then his fate can be miserable.
"Da Danyu, if the cavalry of the Marquis of Lintong is still there. Then we won't be able to raise military funds smoothly, and this horse will not be surrounded for long. The old minister saw that this Mayi City would not be able to be captured for a while. Why don't we withdraw our troops as soon as we have much to lose. ”
"No, you old guy has a lot of money. Let us toss thousands of miles, if you want to withdraw, we will not withdraw. I didn't grab anything to go back, what did my wife and children eat at home. As soon as King Huqiang's words came out, there was an immediate voice of opposition. (To be continued......)
