Chapter 84: The Wolf and the Sheep

King Huqiang's blade swept the soldier's neck helplessly, and it was much happier to die as a warrior than to live as an idiot, at least that's what King Huqiang thought.

In fact, the answer is not difficult to find, after all, there are 5,000 people who have been attacked. It was not difficult to find a few survivors, and one of the surviving hundred horsemen trembled and told the king of Huqiang what had happened.

"As soon as I got out of the tent, a pack of mad cows rushed across the side. These cows are crazy, and everything in front of them is bumping up. The brothers died miserably, and many people were trampled to death by cattle before they could even get out of their tents. I was lucky enough to hide behind Lele's car so I didn't get hit.

After the herd, a group of Han soldiers rushed over, and they killed people when they saw them. Shoot with a bow when you are far away, and pick with a halberd when you are near. Almost all the surviving brothers were killed by them, and the prince wants to avenge his brothers. ”

As if to prove the words of the hundred horsemen, the Hun warriors found the cattle from six or seven miles away. A lot of cattle were exhausted to death, because there were too many cows that died of exhaustion. The rest of the cattle could not break free from the rope. Then they were forced to stop, but the living cattle were also so tired that they foamed at the mouths and noses. If you don't drink water in time, I'm afraid you won't live long.

As for the Han army who caused the accident, they had already run away. King Huqiang only brought out 5,000 men, and according to the current situation, he did not dare to pursue rashly. After counting the number of five thousand horsemen alive, less than two hundred of the five thousand people were able to stand up on their own. Many of them are still wounded, and they can't even ride horses.

The loss of 2,000 men last night is not enough, and the Huns can afford this kind of loss. However, nearly 5,000 people were lost in this morning, and even a large single Yu was afraid that he would not be able to sit still. The helpless King Huqiang had to take the surviving soldiers to see the military minister Shan Yu.

When the Hun nobles learned. After the 5,000 elite horsemen were left, only the more than 200 disabled people were silent. Many people's mouths were so surprised that they couldn't figure out how the Han people could defeat 5,000 people in such a short period of time.

"Da Dan Yu, the Han people use these bullocks as a guide. They tied a fire to the tail of the oxen, and the cows began to run in pain. Crashing into a thing we encountered along the way, many of our soldiers were either killed by cattle or trampled to death.

Then their cavalry came at them, and the soldiers, who had suffered a large number of casualties, could not resist. We can only accept the fate of being killed, so our five thousand people will be wiped out by them in a short time. ”

King Huqiang was very serious about explaining to Da Dan Yu and many Xiongnu nobles what had happened. During this process, a few cows were brought out, and the surviving soldiers were asked to tell their stories.

Da Shan Yu didn't have the idea of summing up the lessons learned, and now he was thinking about yesterday's scene in his head. BOC's correct opinion. It's hard to be opposed by these guys. If the great army is gathered together. Nothing like this will happen either. An army of more than 70,000 people, let alone 500 head of cattle, even if it is 500 heads, it can't help it.

"Enough, this is the sin you have caused. Yesterday, Zhongxingyue was right. We should concentrate our forces. But what about you. Thinking that you should not obey a Han Chinese. I listened to you. How about now?

We lost 5,000 elite men, and the enemy suffered almost nothing. Five hundred oxen have been exchanged for five thousand for me, and now you still cling to your foolish ideas? ”

Wise and wise orders will not make mistakes. So it's the idiots who make the mistake. King Huqiang and Zuo Daduwei and other Xiongnu nobles bowed their heads. There is no way, yesterday Zhongxingyue did put forward the idea of concentrating troops. They did refute it.

"Shrink our forces, we can't be eaten by the Han people piece by piece."

The military minister simply reprimanded his own fools before giving this order. If he knew what this command meant to him, he would have regretted hitting the wall.

When the Huns prepared their horses and set out on the journey, the men and horses who went out to attack at night were returning to the Han camp one after another. The night of waiting and fighting made everyone tired, but their mood was very happy. After all, after a great victory, the invincible Huns were killed and crushed, and they had no ability to resist at all, which already made them excited enough.

The camp of the Han army was filled with the smell of big meat buns, but except for the Yun family's guards, there were beef buns to eat. The others ate big buns stuffed with mutton, and there was no way for the cattle to be collected by Yun Xiao to deal with the Huns. Presumably, these cattle have now become the most hated prisoners of war by the Huns.

The most excited in the camp was the period gate Yulin led by Wei Qing, although these little guys participated in two battles. However, they are all responsible for hiding aside and releasing arrows, and this time it is a real close contact with the Huns. What they didn't expect was that the Huns were so easy to bully. They were completely powerless to fight back, driven and killed by them like sheep.

They seemed to have been tested by blood and fire, and one by one their tails were curled like little roosters scurrying around the camp. It seems that no one can compare to them when the world is so big, except for the respect for the Yun family's guards. Looking at the seniors who are also Yulin, they are all nostrils facing the sky.

"It's okay to wander around, go back to sleep. Croaking again and asking you to brush all the horses. ”

Yun Xiao, who was annoyed by them, came out and yelled in person, and these proud little roosters stopped.

"The child has never seen the world, don't be angry, Master Hou." Canghu interceded with Wei Qing behind Yun Xiao, and he knew that Yun Xiao would definitely bring Wei Qing to reprimand him again. As a Canghu who grew up watching Wei Qing grow up, he still protects Wei Qing in his heart.

"The children have made you spoiled, and you are proud of it when you have just fought a good fight. I'm really worried that if they can survive a hard battle, there is no wind, frost, rain and snow, only wind and sunshine, these little eaglets are beaten up. But after the beating, the chicks were crushed to death. I can't explain it, and it's difficult for me to be a marquis......"

Being woken up by these little guys, Yun Xiao had no interest in catching up on sleep. Lie down on the map and look for the holes you have laid out, and draw on this map. Every detail was repeated in my mind, and all kinds of possibilities were in my mind. But Yun Xiao always felt that there were still loopholes, after all, this was a field battle with an army of more than 70,000 Huns.

The city wall that he relied on before is gone, and his subordinates only have more than 30,000 people who are pieced together. The Donghu people can't count on it, and the Qiang people don't want them to fight a tough battle. These people can fight a good fight, but once they start a tough battle, the consequences are unpredictable.

"Master Hou, how many times have you watched it. You can rest assured that there will be no problems in this battle. Canghu comforted Yun Xiao beside him.

"We are facing an army of more than 70,000 Huns, although we have won both night attacks. However, this does not help at all in the comparison of forces.

The Fire Bull Array can only be used once, and the Huns will definitely learn a lesson. When you set up camp again, you will definitely dig a trench, and as long as there is a trench, you will no longer be afraid of the impact of the fire bull array. Moreover, the Huns also had horse-repellent stakes, but they had been attacking before and had no chance to use them.

In this battle, I have staked your net worth and your lives on it, and if you lose the battle, not only will Donghu not be protected. Even your net worth and my lives may be buried in this desolate Western Regions. If it were you, I wouldn't be able to sleep. Probably tomorrow at noon, the Huns will be in our pockets. Whether to be a man or a ghost depends on tomorrow, I'm just worried that if the Huns fight hard. I am afraid that the Qiang and Donghu people will flee on their own. ”

"They dare, if they dare to flee. Lao Tzu killed them and left no piece of armor. ”

"At that time, you were all ghosts, and you killed them with a fart without leaving a piece of armor. Let's all go to sleep, eat and drink enough to fight this fateful battle with Ben Hou tomorrow. ”

The Huns marched only sixty miles before they began to camp, and there was no way to delay it for a long time this morning. At the time of the opening and the three shots on a fast day.

Yun Xiao guessed correctly, the Huns were as he said. Trenches began to be dug, and horses were placed on the roads that had been set up. If Yun Xiao still wants to attack the camp, I'm afraid he can only use elephants.

King Huqiang looked at the trench dug by his subordinates, and his heart was sad. Once upon a time, the cavalry of the Great Huns crisscrossed the Western Regions, and the Han people could go if they wanted to. Plundered as much as he wanted, and now he was forced to dig trenches to protect himself. I don't know if the Great Xiongnu have become weaker, or if the Han people have become stronger.

Anyway, the current Han people are becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and the Great Wall of the Han border is constantly being built into the territory of the Xiongnu. The Hetao has now been circled by one-third, and it is believed that in a few years, the Hetao grassland will bid farewell to the Great Huns forever. It became a horse ranch for the Han people, and only the god Kunlun knew what these Han people would do when they had cavalry.

Presumably, they are not so generous and let go of the grudges of several generations. Once the Great Han had a strong cavalry, it must have been a nightmare for the Huns. King Huqiang had some bad premonitions that the Great Xiongnu would be defeated by the Great Han. The Xiongnu people can only flee to escape the scourge of war, and the beautiful steppe will no longer be their pasture.

"What do you think?" The Phantom Moon King walked over and patted his old brother Hu Qiang on the shoulder.

"I've fought all my life on the steppe, and this is the first time I've dug a trench. In the past, Han Chinese liked to do this. King Huqiang pointed to the Xiongnu soldiers who were digging a trench.

"The Han people always like to dig the soil, they don't herd sheep but dig the soil. Sprinkle those seeds into the ground and wait for them to grow. They eat grass, so they are sheep. And we Huns eat meat, so we are wolves.

Wolves are born to eat sheep, and this cannot be avoided. If one day the sheep start eating the wolf, the world will be in chaos. The rabbits and moles will jump out, and the wolves will have a hard time. (To be continued......)
