Chapter 34 Wuquan Pass
"Humph! I have some knowledge, and I know how to dig out a fire barrier. Yun Xiao had a cold smile on his face. And Yun Ao's eyes are already full of little stars, yes! Why didn't he know why he set the fire, and looked back at Bayan with his arm hanging. This bastard didn't even warn, and rushed stupidly into the woods.
Bayan also has bitterness that he can't say, and all the grassland people see is green grass all day long. Knowing how important such a large forest is, he can be the backbone of the shepherd's yurt and the relocating Lehrer car. Deep-rooted beliefs made him not have the slightest idea of burning this forest.
Command people to bundle hay and go to the limelight and light it. Since they would not come out, he smoked them out.
"No!" Immediately someone ran down to give the order.
A place five or six miles long and two or three miles wide. There were so many livestock and people crowded, and there were many carcasses of livestock in the charred forest wreckage. Presumably, those were smoked to death, or died from lack of oxygen.
Smoke is a good thing, intangible and insubstantial, but it can kill people. The most precious thing in the world is the cheapest, and everyone needs clean air. But no one ever paid for it.
Not long after the order was given, a wagon pulled a cart of hay poured into the trench of the Donghu people. Although those Donghu people kept firing arrows to try to block them, the Yun family's iron-tire crossbow was not vegetarian. Although a few horses were lost, after a round of roll call. The crossbowmen of Donghu ceased, and no more arrows were fired from the remaining forests.
A torch was thrown onto the mountain of hay, and the billowing smoke rose immediately. The bitter north wind blew clouds of smoke into the forest, and there were constantly livestock and people running out of the forest who could not stand the smoke. The Yun family guards spared the livestock, but the people couldn't. Fierce arrows plundered the lives of the Donghu people, and many fell into the trenches. In an instant, he became a living person, and the man with the fire screamed and roared and ran. The scene was terrifying.
Yun Yan's face turned pale with fright, compared to their unlucky and bald death, it could be regarded as enjoyment. I just don't know if there is Dexue Chan among these people.
Yun Ao's little face was flushed, and his excited little fists were clenched tightly, and they were full of sweat. Looking at Yun Xiao's eyes, they were full of little stars, all of which were the son's worship of his father.
Maybe I don't like that there is such a forest left in the way. After not many people ran out. Rockets were fired in, and it wasn't long before smoke began to rise from the forest. The first thing to ignite was the hay, and it wasn't long before the trees started burning.
Looking at the forest burning like a torch, Yun Xiao turned around and said, "See, this is the power of nature." Fighting a war depends not only on loyal and brave samurai, but also on the brain. As long as the power of nature is harnessed properly, the price of victory is low.
Yun Ao, you have been here for seven or eight days. Look at the guards around you, even they are wounded. The number of your casualties is not asked. As the commander-in-chief of an army. You are ashamed of the dead warriors, if not as a last resort. Don't let the soldiers fall into the point of sacrificing their lives to fight, and no one will grow out if only one of their heads falls. ”
Yun Xiao seemed to be reprimanding Yun Ao, but he was actually teaching. Follow the old guy Batu all day long, and learn to slash and slash with a tendon. This is nothing in the Western Regions, if you encounter a powerful soldier. For example, Wei Qing and his ilk are afraid that there will be a big disaster in the future. It's a pity that I don't have qualified strategists around me, and if there is, I should send a few to this kid. It's rare to find a talent in these years. Famous strategists are either a belly of straw bales. Either they are so high that they don't ask about the world, and occasionally a few come out and are taken by Liu Che first. I want to find some people. It's a lot of difficulty.
The last fire burned for a whole day, and the knights of Donghu went into the woods to search. In the distance, you can see the corpses of people and animals floating on the surface of the lake. It looked like billowing smoke, pushing them into the water. But the cold and biting cold water is equally deadly, and the guy who dies here is really two heavens of ice and fire.
Dexue Chan didn't find it, and in fact even if he did, he wouldn't recognize it. It's okay to float in the lake, but no one wants to go into the water to fish. And the corpses in the woods. It's all a black mess. If it is in the form of a human being, it can be called a whole corpse.
To Yun Xiao's surprise, the sentry cavalry never came out to find any news of the traces of the Huns. This made Yun Xiao a little uneasy, could it be that he fell for the Huns' plan to divert the tiger from the mountain? The dense scouts were sent out again, and for a while, the cold grassland was full of Yun family scouts galloping.
And at this time. The Xiongnu army, which Yun Xiao had been searching for, was fighting in Shuofang Yun.
Wuquan Pass is the gateway to Yunzhong County. Located on the grassland, there is no danger to defend except for the stretching Great Wall. Ten miles behind him is Wuquan County, the grain supply base of the army in the clouds.
There were more than 3,000 Han troops stationed here, and 2,000 foot soldiers were made up of Su Jian, the captain of the Tun cavalry. There are also a thousand cavalry led by Zhao Xin, the captain of the Yue cavalry.
This Zhao Xin was originally a Huns, and after he descended to the Han Dynasty, he was deeply appreciated by Wei Qing. After Wei Qing raised his name to Liu Che, he actually got the position of military attache with a thousand stones. His subordinates are also all former Xiongnu people, and the riding and archery kung fu tools are all laid from a young age. Against those fierce Hun cavalry, they did not fall behind at all.
These saw against small groups of Hun cavalry, and they were repeatedly captured. Wei Qing even recommended him to Liu Che as a general, in short, this is a rising star in the Han army. Compared with the old and steady Su Jian, Zhao Xin seemed too irritable and aggressive. The two often argue over trivial matters. In the Wuquan Army, the feud between the two is already an open secret.
The battle ahead was in full swing, but Zhao Xin was drinking and chatting with several subordinates in the hotel in Wuquan City.
"My lord, then Su Jian came to discuss with you last night. As I left, I saw that his face was ugly. One of his men said, placing the bowl on the table.
"Humph! What else can I do, I must be looking for an adult to borrow soldiers. He can figure out what we are cavalry doing on the city wall. A palm-sized piece of land, riding a bird's horse. Let Lao Tzu fight on foot, it is better to use it as an arrow target for people, you haven't seen how powerful the condor shooter is. ”
Another bearded subordinate slammed his knife on the table, as if it was about to explode. Obviously, this guy is quite disdainful of Su Jian and his men.
"You're wrong." Zhao Xin took a sip of wine, smiled slightly and said, "He wants us to attack and harass the rear of the Hun army." so that they did not dare to attack the city with all their might. ”
"Your Excellency agreed?" The bearded man asked, his eyes wide.
"Fool, if you agree. Then Su Jian will still leave with a cold face? It must have been the adult who rejected Su Jian. Sure enough, it was insidious, and there were hundreds of thousands of Huns outside. Still harassing the rear? I'm afraid that as soon as we get out of the customs, we will be discovered. Then they chased us like rabbits, and the last and many of them were killed. Another small eye, at a glance, said a wise man.
"You're right, besides, Su Jian's old man is a little taken for granted. What do we say we can attack the baggage camp of the Huns, damn we are all Huns. Everyone knows that the Huns didn't have such a thing as a baggage camp at all.
Which prince fights, is not ready to move with the army. Where are there Han people like this, making a bunch of grain that won't go by themselves. The cattle and sheep are long-legged and don't stay in one place. Where to find the vast grassland, and besides, which prince will not send someone to guard his flock? We're just a little bit of people, as long as we are targeted, it will definitely be a dead end. Hehe, if we're being targeted. I dare to vouch for my head, Su Jian'er will definitely not let us enter the city. Zhao Xin sneered, but the words he said were not funny.
"The general is right, the Huns are fast. Then Su Jian will definitely not open the gate and let us in, he is afraid that the Huns will follow our ass into the city. Besides, he had been wary of adults for a long time. After all, we are Huns, and it is impossible to be trusted by the Han people. The scheming guy said.
"Humph! In these years of war with the Huns, we have not killed many people. Why don't those Han people trust us? The bearded man slashed his knife on the table and roared loudly.
The shopkeeper looked inside through the crack in the door and saw that it was not a fight. Only then did he pat his chest and breathe a sigh of relief, the Huns often came to drink. Every time I get drunk, sometimes it's okay to sing loudly. The most feared thing is that these drunk cats fight, often several people get into a ball. smashed the hotel to pieces, and there was no place for the store to cry. I could only pack up and reopen again, but within a few days, those Huns who fought and died came back. Then drink too much and continue to fight.
This situation has led to Wuquan City becoming a black hole in the hotel industry, with hotels closing and dying every year. Almost every family is related to these Huns who are fond of drinking and fighting.
Xiao Er was worried in his heart, and he was patted on the shoulder. Frightened, he opened his mouth to shout but was covered by a pair of hands. Then a hanging of money appeared in front of him, "Don't be silent, go do your thing." ”
Behind the money is a round fat face, people are festive when they are fat, not to mention that there is a warm smile on that face. When Xiao Er saw the money, he seemed to see his father. Hurriedly took the money, nodding his head like a chicken pecking rice.
The people in the private room didn't notice the situation outside, only the wise man said, "My lord, you said we were here." There is no grassland desert at all, and riding a horse tramples on the crops. If you pay it back, you will be detained and reprimanded. We were in the grassland, and no one said a word about how much turf we had broken on horseback. ”
"That's it! My lord, those Han people don't treat us as their own at all. On weekdays, they don't interact with us at all, and we have a smell on our bodies. Damn it, we have lived in the grassland since childhood, and the Huns who have no smell of sheep smell are still called Huns? (To be continued......)
