Chapter 352: Leave No Mouth Alive
At the entrance of the small village, 2,000 cavalrymen wearing red robes, carrying simple swords, and carrying round shields behind them lined up in a neat procession, standing in front of Liu Wei.
In the queue of this group of cavalry, dozens of Luoyang Army battle flags with gold characters on a black background hunted and flew in the wind, making bursts of "hulala" sounds, which added a bit more power to this group of cavalry.
All the cavalry had been informed in advance that no one in this place, whether there were anyone else here, could not call Liu Wei "Your Highness", but only "sir".
Although the cavalrymen with some big nerves did not know the meaning of Liu Wei's actions, in their bones, they were deeply rooted in the consciousness of obeying orders. And all the officers and soldiers of the Luoyang Army have an indescribable trust in Liu Wei. In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Luoyang Army, anything Liu Wei wants to do must have a deep meaning that is difficult for ordinary people to understand!
Standing in front of the 2,000 cavalry of the Luoyang Army, Liu Wei was followed by four men in deep clothes and carrying simple knives, and on his left hand side, stood Guan Qing, who had brought large swords to her by the cavalry.
Dressed in deep clothes, with his hair tied up high, riding on horseback, holding a big knife in his hand, the tip of the knife pointed obliquely to the ground, Guan Qing looked more and more powerful than a few days ago.
At the entrance of the small village, Liu Nu, who was crowded together with a group of people looking at this team, had an unconcealable loss on his face, looked at Guan Qing with a pair of beautiful eyes without blinking, and was still secretly muttering in his heart: "Handsome and handsome, if she were a man, how good it would be......"
"A few days ago, I waited to cross the river and found the Huns on the opposite side of the river!" Looking around at the two thousand cavalry in front of him, Liu Wei raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the river, and shouted to the two thousand cavalry: "The Huns are on the west side of the river bank, slaughtering the people of Hongnong and plundering the people's property. As a soldier of the Luoyang Army, you have the duty and obligation to drive out Hulu for the people! ”
When Liu Wei spoke, the two thousand cavalrymen all straightened up, all of them had solemn faces, and even the war horses did not make the slightest discordant sound.
Standing at the entrance of the village, two young men gathered together, one of them muttered to the cavalry of the Luoyang Army who were lined up in a neat line, and whispered to the other man beside him: "Look at that gentleman, he can suppress so many officers and soldiers, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person." ”
"Merchant!" Another man pursed his lips, and said to the man who was talking to him with some disdain: "The king of Luoyang has a place to use him, so he wants to give him some face, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, he must listen to the king of Luoyang." I think those cavalry are very good, if I had half as strong as them, I'm afraid the Huns would have been wiped out long ago! ”
"Yes! I heard that the king of Luoyang attacked Zheng County, and without a few deaths, he broke through Zheng County and captured more than 300,000 Xiliang troops! The man who spoke first smacked his mouth twice and muttered in a low voice: "Do you know how many people King Luoyang brought with him?" ”
Asked a question, but the man did not wait for anyone to reply, so he raised three fingers and said to the man beside him: "Thirty thousand! There were only 30,000 people, killed more than 100,000 Xiliang troops, and captured more than 300,000. ”
"My good guy Boom!" Hearing that the king of Luoyang only brought 30,000 people, he killed more than 100,000 Xiliang troops and captured more than 300,000 people, another man was stunned for a moment, smacked his mouth, and praised: "Where is the army of the king of Luoyang, isn't this a heavenly soldier!" ”
"Who says it isn't!" Another man clasped his hands to his chest, muttered at the two thousand Luoyang Army cavalry in front of Liu Wei, and said to the man beside him: "The Xiliang Army has a hand in fighting the Qiang people, and they have all been beaten into dogs by the King of Luoyang, just the Huns, what is it!" ”
Liu Wei, who was stationed in front of 2,000 cavalrymen, did not know that his attack on Zheng County had long been rumored among the people.
Nearly 110,000 Xiliang troops were recruited, and they were passed on by the people to capture 300,000 Xiliang troops. The two sides fought, and the Xiliang army lost more than 10,000 people, including many who died due to infighting. can be said from the mouths of the people, it turned out to be a burst of Luoyang army, and they cut off the heads of more than 100,000 Xiliang troops.
is such an exaggeration, if Liu Wei hears it, he will definitely have a feeling of embarrassment.
However, at the moment, Liu Wei did not have much time to entangle these, the Huns were still on the other side of the river, but for some reason, they did not attack the riverbank, but the intelligence brought back by the spies showed that those Huns had no intention of leaving at all. They seem to be looking for something nearby, and they have the potential to never leave if they can't find what they're looking for.
"Tanma returns, the Huns are only five hundred!" Looking around at the two thousand cavalry, Liu Wei raised his arms and shouted to them: "There is only one combat mission this time, leave no one alive!" Can you be confident that you can do it? ”
"Leave no mouth alive!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, one of the generals raised his arm and shouted loudly: "We will cross the river immediately, and we will definitely live up to Mr.'s trust!" ”
"Leave no mouth alive!" Two thousand cavalrymen followed suit, raising their swords in their hands and shouting loudly.
Two thousand people shouted at the same time, and the momentum was extraordinary. The villagers who stood at the entrance of the village and watched, while they shouted this, many of them were shocked and trembled involuntarily.
After the cavalry shouted for a while, Liu Wei waved his hand at them and said to them: "I am waiting in the village for the news of your triumph!" Let's go! ”
"Let's go!" The general who led the cavalry raised his spear and gave the cavalry the order to set off.
"Sir......" Looking at the back of the cavalry leaving, Guan Qing turned his head to look at Liu Wei and said to him: "The soldiers are going this time, the terrain is not familiar, why don't you let me follow......"
"You stay in the village!" Turning his head and smiling at Guan Qing, Liu Wei muttered to Liu Nu, who was standing at the entrance of the village with a large group of villagers, and said to Guan Qing: "Looking at her, it is more important than fighting the Huns!" As for the terrain on the other side of the riverbank, the scouts had already explored it clearly, and even knew exactly where the Huns were stationed! ”
Seeing that 2,000 cavalry went to the opposite side of the river bank to clear out the Huns, Guan Qing, who was rejected by Liu Wei, showed a little loss in his expression.
However, she did not force Liu Wei to allow her to go, but responded a little reluctantly, so she clamped her legs on the horse's belly and went to the entrance of the village first.
"Sir really called in a rescuer!" As soon as Liu Wei led four soldiers in deep clothes to ride to the entrance of the village, the lieutenant chief, who was standing at the front of the crowd, bowed to him with his fists and said to him: "Sir is the benefactor of these ten miles and eight townships, dare to ask Mr. Daming?" I'll offer an immortal tablet to my husband in the future, and I'll bow down at four o'clock......"
"My name doesn't matter!" Liu Wei smiled slightly, turned over and jumped off the horse, hugged his fists and saluted the lieutenant in return, and said to him: "When a person is still alive, he is carved by others and placed on the table to worship, and he always feels a little unlucky!" As long as the villagers work diligently in the future and live a prosperous life, it is not in vain that the king of Luoyang sent soldiers and horses to clear the Huns! ”
"Yes! Be! Liu Wei didn't want to say his name and surname, and the lieutenant didn't dare to ask, but he couldn't stop answering.
Surrounded by a large group of villagers, Liu Wei and the others entered the village and returned to the house where he had stayed in the past few days.
At the same time, the news that the king of Luoyang sent a large army to clear the Huns had spread far and wide, and some good people worked tirelessly, and soon the news spread to all villages in ten miles and eight townships.
Many villagers from other villages carried their burdens and rummaged through all the food they could take out at home, and wanted to go to the village where Liu Wei stayed to work in the army.
Two thousand cavalry were transferred from the main force led by Pang Tong, and Liu Wei had secretly ordered someone to inform the nearby cities, so that each city would strictly guard the city defense and not send troops without authorization.
Huxian, which had already sent reinforcements, immediately recalled the army that went out of the city to prepare to suppress the Huns after receiving Liu Wei's edict, and stepped up the stabilization of the city defense.
People from all over the world flocked to the small village, and in just half a day, the small village was full of people.
The villagers did not ask to meet Liu Bian, although everyone wanted to see who this gentleman who could ask the king of Luoyang to transfer soldiers and horses was, but no one dared to openly ask Liu Bian to meet them.
For this gentleman who can reach the sky, the simple villagers still have a fear and respect from the bottom of their hearts.
Back in the room, Liu Wei did not go out all day, he called Guan Qing and Liu Nu to his house, and passed the time by talking to Liu Nu about the Huns, waiting for the news of the triumph of the cavalry.
The Huns came to the Central Plains, although the number was small, but it sounded a wake-up call for Liu Wei. Luoyang and Chang'an are not far away, the cavalry of the Huns can go straight to Chang'an, it is not difficult to attack Luoyang, the Luoyang army and the Xiongnu fight, it is only a matter of time, while Liu Nu is still around, you can get more information about the Huns from her, and it is also very useful for the future march and war.
"The soldiers are back!" Just as she was listening to Liu Nu tell her interesting stories about her time in the Huns, there was a shocking cheer outside the house.
As soon as he heard the cheers, a soldier guarding the door pushed the door and walked into the house, stood at the door of the hall, and shouted to Liu Wei in the ear room: "Sir, the soldiers are back!" He also brought many Hun captives and women who were taken captive by the Huns! ”
As soon as the soldier's words fell, Liu Wei stood up and said to Guan Qing and Liu Nu, who were kneeling opposite, "I'll go out and have a look!" ”
Leaving the residence, Liu Wei saw that the entrance of the village was crowded with black people. Everyone, young and old, straightened their necks and looked west.
"Sir is here, get out of the way!" was walking towards the entrance of the village, I don't know who found Liu Wei, and shouted.
Hearing that Liu Wei had come out, the villagers who had flocked to the village from all over the village to wait for the army to clear the Huns had consciously flashed to the side and made way for Liu Bian.
When Liu Wei led Guan Qing and the others through the passage left by the crowd, every villager present cast admiration and admiration at him.
The gaze was pure, absolutely not mixed with a hint of envy. The eyes of each villager are so clear, and from their eyes, their simplicity and innocence are revealed.
With Guan Qing and the others, walking out of the village quickly, Liu Wei straightened his neck and looked to the west. Sure enough, a field of red-clad cavalry appeared in his field of vision.
The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and Liu Wei vaguely saw that behind the cavalry ranks, there were many people wearing various colored clothes.
"Mr. Qiyu!" Looking at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, a cavalryman who had returned to report the news squeezed out of the crowd, quickly ran to Liu Wei's approach, clasped his fists with both hands, half-knelt on the ground and said to him: "After I crossed the river, according to the direction transmitted back by the scouts, I really found the Hun station!" The Huns were not strong in battle, and our army scattered them with only one charge, killing more than 200 people on the spot, capturing nearly 300 people, and rescuing the women captured by the Huns, one hundred and eighty-two people! ”
