Chapter 971: Hunt and Kill
Night. )
The cool land is inhabited, and it is even more so at night. Thousands of miles of desolation, without the slightest light.
In the silent night, the sound of horses' hooves sounded suddenly, but there was a relatively large iron horse, heading northwest.
Although the iron cavalry is relatively large, the sound of horses' hooves is also particularly messy, and it seems that the military spirit is floating.
This is Han Sui's cavalry, they lost 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry in the battle with Fazheng, and only 20,000 or 30,000 remnants escaped.
The moment he fled, Han Sui decided to continue his journey to the northwest.
However, this northwest is not Jincheng, but in the direction of Wuwei in the west. Jincheng is the nest built by Han Sui in recent years, but Wuwei is the city that Han Sui has operated for more than ten years.
Most of the clansmen, as well as some of the small families and confidant generals, are in Wuwei City.
Therefore, after Han Sui was defeated, he immediately chose to go to Wuwei. Because Han Sui knew that Jincheng was hopeless, there were only more than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled left, even if the city was tall, it was useless.
According to the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the Chu army during the day, it is no different from a paper tiger.
Even some of his sons in Jincheng, Han Sui had already given up.
After continuing to gallop for a while, the cavalry slowed down. This cavalry first attacked Jincheng from Xianyang, and fought Fazheng near Jincheng and suffered a crushing defeat.
and then fled back to the north in a hurry, which can be said to be extremely sleepy. It's a miracle to be able to hold on until now.
Therefore, Han Sui did not give the order to urge, but slowly sent down the speed with the army. Soon after, the army came to a complete standstill.
Without the general's orders, the soldiers took out their dry rations and water bags to eat and drink. The same is true for Han Sui, under the protection of his own soldiers, he is using dry food.
At this moment, the atmosphere is unusually oppressive. Han Sui's personal soldiers and guards were very vigilant and surrounded Han Sui. I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to kill Han Sui.
There are more of these kinds of things in this world now, and the bloody experience of the past is that which prince is defeated, not killed by the enemy, but by his subordinates.
There are too many lessons to make every prince very cautious. And now Han Sui's situation, although it is not as serious as the defeat, but we must also beware of some generals, and the officers killed Han Sui to invite merit in order to curry favor with the Chu State.
In addition, these are fierce Xiliang soldiers, and this kind of rebellion is even stronger. In this way, the soldiers were vigilant against the surrounding Xiliang cavalry, which made the atmosphere even more tense.
"Why don't we go back to Xianyang and fight with Qin Hou, but return to Wuwei?" Han Sui turned over and dismounted, spread a cloth on the ground, and sat down on his knees. A general sat down next to Han Sui and asked softly.
"How is the relationship between Lone and Ma Teng?" Han Sui was silent for a moment before speaking.
This is his confidant general, if it were an ordinary person, Han Sui would not say that.
"If it's a personal relationship, it's a wife and an enemy. If it's a bus, it's an alliance of lips and teeth. When the general heard this, he suddenly realized in his heart and said.
"Yes. In personal relationships, Lone and Ma Teng have a murderous enmity. On the bus, it's a lip-and-tooth alliance. And the so-called public transport is just a combination of interests under the general trend. In the past, there were 100,000 horse infantry troops, and they were still not afraid of Ma Teng. But now the lone army is defeated like a mountain, and only 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry remain, if they return to Xianyang, they are afraid that Ma Teng will take the opportunity to have bad intentions. ”
Han Sui sighed.
Han Sui and Ma Teng already had a great hatred, and Han Sui's mind was also human nature.
The general listened to it silently, and he agreed in his heart. But now that the Xiliang Alliance has been defeated by the Chu State, forty or fifty thousand cavalry, if Ma Teng and Han Sui have problems again, how can they face the powerful and aggressive Chu State?
And there's another problem.
"What about General Yan's 30,000 foot soldiers?" The general asked worriedly.
If it is according to Han Sui's guess, wouldn't Yan Xing be more than lucky?
"It's okay. If you are alone, you may be killed, but if you are outside, you will be safe. If you are alone, Yan Xing will not be a big problem. Only by virtue of the prestige of the Qiang people. Han Sui smiled slightly when he heard this, and said proudly.
Qiang. This is an important reason why Han Sui and Ma Teng competed for the upper hand and gained the upper hand. Although Ma Teng also has prestige among the Qiang people, it is a big step worse than Han Sui.
And the countless tribes of the Qiang tribe have two or three hundred thousand cavalry.
Han Sui went back to Wuwei, planning to ask for reinforcements from the Qiang tribe.
To be honest, Han Sui didn't really want to have any interests with the Qiang people in his heart. After all, the struggle for the Central Plains is also a matter for their Han people. Asking for reinforcements from the Qiang tribe, that is to lure the wolf into the house.
But the current situation has made Han Sui feel a kind of life and death. In the case of life and death, some people will break through mental barriers and make judgments that they think are correct.
Han Sui is now in this situation, in the face of life and death, he needs powerful Qiang cavalry.
It's really that the State of Chu is too powerful, so powerful that Han Sui is frightened, that powerful repeater, repeater bed, that powerful and unbelievable foot pawn of the State of Chu.
In the battle scene, he was not weaker than the cavalry, and even broke his cavalry.
In this situation, Han Sui is suspicious of being in a dream when he thinks about it now. As a result, the strength of the Chu State made Han Sui's gradually inclined to the Qiang cavalry.
"Does the lord want to use the powerful cavalry of the Qiang tribe to fight against the Chu State, but also to maintain the balance of the alliance with Ma Teng? Let Ma Teng not dare to give birth to the heart of devouring the lord? The general was completely enlightened and said.
"Yes. The heart of defense is indispensable. The lonely force has been greatly reduced, and he is afraid that Ma Teng will take the opportunity to annex it. If the Qiang cavalry can be recruited, Ma Teng will also be afraid of seven points. ”
Han Sui nodded happily.
"The lord is really wise." The general was convinced.
"Huh." Han Sui smiled, just wanting to be modest. I felt a slight vibration in the ground.
Han Sui, no, everyone here is an expert in cavalry. What this familiar feeling of shaking in the ground means, everyone knows.
"It's actually coming." The general who was talking to Han Sui just now exclaimed in surprise.
There is a saying called poor Kou Mo chasing, and the Chu army chased and killed their defeated army, which was unexpected by everyone.
"Kill them all. is planning to completely destroy the orphans, and then take the opportunity to encroach on Liangzhou. How can a lonely man willingly bow the inheritance? Han Sui's face was also very ugly, and he gritted his teeth.
Kill them all, the intention is obvious.
Even if it's a dog, there are times when the dog jumps off the wall. Han Sui is a human being, but also a prince, and a prince with the Qiang clan as his backing. Being so despised by others, I want to kill them all.
Naturally, the anger rushed to the brain, and the fire was abnormal.
"Let's go to Wuwei." Han Sui yelled.
"No."
The generals complied and immediately dispersed. Soon after, twenty or thirty thousand soldiers turned over their horses one after another, dragging their tired bodies and continuing to gallop in the direction of Wuwei.
But Han Sui's cavalry was too tired, experienced a long-distance attack, and was defeated, and its morale was extremely low. How could it be fast.
On the contrary, the cavalry of the Chu State who was chasing behind him recuperated for many days, and was encouraged by Fazheng's great victory, and their morale was high. In this pursuit battle, there is hardly any suspense.
In the darkness of the night, in the rear of Han Sui's cavalry.
Zhao Yun led the cavalry to chase and kill, and the faces of Zhao Yun and every soldier were excited. Han Sui's cavalry could sense their presence, and so did they.
It's close, it's close. After a few moments, you can have a full meal.
The soldiers knew that there was no easier way to achieve merit than to hunt down a defeated army. They are descending tigers, and the other side is a panicked wild deer.
It's easy to bite, and then it's a lot of feats.
In addition to being excited at the moment, Zhao Yun also had a lot of emotion in his heart. This is really thanks to the effect of the horseshoe, when Kou Feng invented the stirrup, the horseshoe. As a senior cavalry general, Zhao Yun was very happy with these two things.
For he knew that there was no better horseman in the world than stirrups and horseshoes. But some of the newly enlisted cavalry is not clear.
I don't understand, why put a horseshoe on the horse's foot, it doesn't seem to be of much use. And at this moment, the power of the horseshoe is truly displayed.
During a long-distance run, the horse's paw will be injured for various reasons. But with the protection of the horseshoe, that chance is much smaller.
On the way to pursue Han Sui, the cavalry of the Chu State did not have a single small chaos caused by the sudden injury of the war horse.
Instead, puddles of flesh and blood appear in front of them from time to time. It was all because the horse was injured and then trampled into flesh by the cavalry behind him.
At this moment, Zhao Yun believed that all the cavalry would understand the importance of the horseshoe, and what Kou Feng, who invented the horseshoes, meant to the Chu State.
Kou Feng. It is the secret of the Chu State's perennial invincibility in the world.
"In front is Lianghou Han Sui, the one who takes his head, seals the marquis of a thousand households, and kills." Zhao Yun yelled.
"Kill." The cavalry was enthusiastic and followed with a roar.
The sound of horses' hooves was loud, and the sound of roaring and killing soared into the sky.
"Let's go." Ahead, Han Sui listened to the roar that made Fengyun change color, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he yelled.
"Drive." The cavalry also knew the seriousness of the matter, and frantically urged the horses to flee forward.
But one side is exhausted, the other is energetic. We still met.
In the darkness of the night, it was very dark. Only a bright moon in the sky made the earth have a glimmer of light.
The cavalry of the Chu State saw the defeated army of the Liang State in front of them, and the defeated army of the Liang State turned around and also saw the cavalry of the Chu State in the black pressure.
"Kill."
As the cavalry of the Chu State urged the war horses again, the distance between the two sides soon narrowed. Soon, the first cavalry of the Chu State brandished the Chu knife and cut down a defeated army of the Liang State in front.
Immediately, there was a roar full of blood.
ignited the enthusiasm of all the cavalry of the Chu State.
"Kill."
was defeated first, and then hunted down, today is destined to be a bleak day for Han Sui
