Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Raid on Xuanpu
Zhang Taishu himself also understood what Huo Quzhi had just said, mainly to remind him, and immediately whispered his fists and said: "Don't worry, general, Lao Zhang will be by your side this time, and he will never shout nonsense." ”
Huo Qubing nodded, and then began to assign generals to carry out tasks.
"Li Tiangao didn't know many servants, led five thousand elite cavalry to hide in the rear of the Xupu tribe, and waited for an hour, but when he saw the rocket rushing into the sky, he immediately launched an attack, after attacking the Xuanpu tribe, the servant led five hundred crossbowmen to climb the wall, where there were Hun cavalry fleeing outside the wall, immediately shot and killed, and at the same time sent three hundred elite cavalry to guard the back door of the wall, and no one could escape tonight."
Li Tiangao didn't know a lot of servants, and the three generals gave up their hands one after another, "No." ”
The words were settled, and the three of them ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the rear of the Pu tribe.
After Li Tian and others led the army away, Huo Qubing was left with Zhang Taishu and Zhao Ponu, as well as 5,800 elite cavalry, and similarly, Huo Qubing also asked Sun Ming to lead 500 soldiers to climb the wall after breaking the camp, and left 300 people to guard in front of the main gate.
Tonight, he Huo is sick and wants to catch turtles in an urn.
After the army was prepared, Huo Qubing ordered the soldiers to rest, and at two o'clock in the morning, the whole army attacked!
Two hours passed quickly, during this time, the Han soldiers seized the time to eat and rest, more than 3,000 war horses of the Wulu tribe have now become the personal belongings of the Han army, it is expected that after a while, the soldiers who drive these 3,000 energetic war horses will be able to effectively send out the greatest combat effectiveness.
In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty originally planned to equip each soldier under Huo Quai's command with a war horse to facilitate the transfer in turns, but Huo Qubing refused, his reason was very simple.
"The most important thing in the land west of the river is good horses, and when you get there, you will have to grab them again."
Not only that, Zhao Ponu also asked Huo Qubing one thing not long ago, that is, the dry food in the army was about to bottom out, and Huo Quzhi replied to him.
"What are you afraid of, if you don't have food, you will go to grab it, and if our army sets foot on the land west of the river, it means that everything we have will be taken from the enemy!"
Rob, rob, rob, the champion Hou is really not too ruthless to fight the Huns, rob horses, grab food, and rob people and gold, there is no way, who let this young man be born a nightmare for the Huns, who let this young man be born to exist to destroy the Huns.
Huo Quzhi sat on his war horse, took a bite of the jerky in his hand, and kept his eyes on the faint light of the Pu tribe in the distance, and finally, feeling that the time was almost up, Huo Quzhi picked up the kettle and poured a sip of water, and after eating and drinking, Huo Quzhi raised his big hand lightly.
Zhao Ponu, who was on the horse behind him, took the rocket handed by the soldier, looking at the faint light of the rocket, Zhao Ponu held his breath and concentrated, exerted his arms with his arms, and pulled the hard bow in his hand to the full ring.
"Whoosh" was set off by this pitch-black sky, and the extremely dazzling rocket flew into the night sky, Huo Quzhi pulled out the long sword in his hand, without any words, and was the first to lead people to ride a horse to the Pu tribe in front of him.
At the same time when Huo Qubing and the fine cavalry behind him set off, the wall of the Xupu tribe suddenly ushered in a burst of extremely violent arrow rain, under this wave of arrow rain, the hundreds of Hun soldiers who were guarding the walled wall and sleeping were half reimbursed in an instant, and the dead only made a muffled sound, but the Hun soldiers who were only shot in the thigh or shoulder let out a miserable scream.
On the wall, screams rang out one after another.
"Boom!" Soon after the rain of arrows fell, the Hun soldiers who were awakened by the screams of their companions had not had time to stand up, and a loud sound of breaking the door followed, and countless Han iron horsemen followed Huo Qubing to break through the gate of the wall, and burst into the Pu tribe with the dark night of not seeing the five fingers.
With the help of the torches on the wall, the remaining more than 100 Hun cavalry who were still alive all witnessed the scene of the tidal wave of Han cavalry pouring into the tribe, these people were first frightened to the soul, and then hurriedly shouted loudly, reminding those sleeping brothers that there was a surprise attack by the Han army, but before they could shout a few times, the wall behind them began to climb up a steady stream of Han soldiers.
With the help of ropes, a full five hundred Han soldiers climbed all the way up the wall under the leadership of Sun Ming, taking advantage of the attention of the Huns who were guarding them by Huo Quai's sudden attack, Sun Ming took people to climb to the wall smoothly, even in the dark night, Sun Ming and the five hundred soldiers behind him The ring head knife was also a little cold, and as soon as he climbed the wall, Sun Ming killed the back of those Hun soldiers silently.
"Brush, brush, brush." One after another Hun soldiers were slashed to the ground by the long knife wielded in the hands of the Han army, and the rest of the people saw that the Han army appeared behind them and ignored the shouts, hurriedly picked up weapons and fought with the five hundred Han troops led by Sun Ming on the wall, the sword and sword, the bloody rain and the wind on the wall, the heads of people were rolling, blood flowed, and the blink of an eye was full of floating corpses, most of which were Huns.
After capturing the wall, Sun Ming ordered the soldiers to take bows and arrows to guard the wall, and after they solved the soldiers of the main gate wall, the servants also led people to kill the back gate wall and the soldiers along the way, and the entire Xupu tribe has almost turned into a huge cage.
The battle on the wall was over in less than half an hour, and the raid among the tribes had just begun.
After the tidal Han army followed Huo Qubing and poured into the Pu tribe, Zhang Taishu and Zhao Ponu respectively led 1,500 people to the left and right to kill the Hun cavalry who were still asleep.
Li Tian led the army to enter the Xupu tribe at the same moment, attacking back and forth.
In this dark night where he couldn't see his fingers, the big man rode a horse and quickly rushed to the tents of those dark Hun soldiers, like a soul messenger, and the halberd and big knife in his hand flashed a penetrating cold light in the dark night.
At this moment, it is the early hours of the morning, when people sleep the deepest, but the loud noise made when they just broke through the village has awakened a lot of Hun soldiers near the gate of the camp, plus at this moment Sun Ming and Fuduo on the wall of the wall are still leading people to surround and kill those Hun soldiers, and the shouting of killing almost woke up a small half of the Hun soldiers.
More than a dozen Hun soldiers who didn't know what was going on yawned, got off the bed, lifted the curtain of the tent to see what was happening, but the next second, in the vast night, several halberds pierced their chests like a bolt of lightning, "poof", blood slowly flowed down the wound on the chest, these Hun soldiers didn't know who they died in.
After these awakened Hun soldiers died, several Han soldiers rode off their horses, rushed into the tent with a ring head knife in their hands, and slashed and killed all the Hun soldiers who were still lying on the bed and sleeping beautifully.
"Brush, brush", the long knife was raised, the head rolled down, and a touch of blood stained the plain tent, and almost every tent of the more than 2,000 Hun cavalry living in the outermost part was happening in every tent.
"Han army, there is Han army!"
The Hun soldiers who were fighting with Sun Ming and others on the wall, desperately at the risk of being hacked to death by someone with a knife, also shouted violently, wanting to warn their companions.
Huo Quzhi, who was on the war horse, heard these roars, and suddenly raised the long sword in his hand, "Kill!" The words were inevitable, Huo Qubing took his eight hundred personal guards and two thousand soldiers to the extremely eye-catching gold-domed round tent in the center of the Xupu tribe and killed.
Huo Quzhi let out a loud roar, and suddenly the soldiers of the Han army no longer hid their whereabouts, and a fierce shout of killing sounded, straight into the sky.
The long hooves of the war horse are plucked, 10,000 fine horsemen stand their war horses in the Xupu tribe rampant, see the Hun cavalry running out of the tent and kill, sometimes several Han soldiers and horsemen simply use the halberd in their hands to pick up the tent, revealing the Hun soldiers lying in it, and then stabbing to death with the halberd.
Gradually, more and more Hun soldiers were awakened by the shouts of killing outside the tent, and many people ran out in a panic without even putting on their clothes, but they were also greeted by the sharp blades of the Han elite riders, and the battle turned into slaughter from the beginning.
The vast night of the Xupu tribe, a darkness, shouting and killing and the galloping sound of horses' hooves blended into one, the outermost barracks were already full of corpses, accidentally overturned the candle flames, but also made the peripheral barracks into a sea of fire, the light of the flames, these Han army horsemen shone like a terrible ghost, the entire Lupu tribe was blinded by the sudden attack of the Han army.
The cries of men, women, and children resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the unarmed Huns had just run out of their tents, either by mistake by the Han army in the dark, or by the strong war horses under the horses, and turned into a mess of blood.
The corpses of the entire Xupu tribe are all over the field, and the entire Xupu tribe is full of Han troops.
"Kill!" Zhang Taishu led the war cavalry under his command, frantically harvesting the heads of the Hun cavalry who were panicked in the dark night, and the double knives in his hands flickered up and down, and every time he provoked, the heads of several people flew away.
Li Tian held a long sword, with the soldiers rushed to the leader of the Jinpu round tent near the Hun cavalry, the Hun cavalry stationed around had already woken up, but many of them were only wearing a thin underwear, so they brandished weapons and rushed up, even the war horses did not have time to ride, and the barracks near the golden dome round tent, there were nearly 7,000 Han troops, 70% of the Han army came here to surround and kill the Xiongnu elite cavalry.
A little farther away, you can still see Huo Qubing leading thousands of elite horsemen to kill those Hun soldiers who had just woken up from their sleep and responded to the battle in a hurry, just a moment of effort, and the corpses were all over the ground.
This is the advantage of having intelligence, Huo Qubing has already ordered that after rushing into the Xupu tribe, he will first besiege and kill the outermost two thousand Hun soldiers, and then the whole army will ignore the Hun people and go all out to kill the three thousand Hun cavalry near the Jinding round tent.
With the help of the surprise attack, the outermost two thousand Hun cavalry had already been killed and wounded, although the Huns at this time had been awakened, but it was enough, because as early as the moment when he just rushed into the camp, Huo Qubing led people to go straight to the golden dome round tent to capture the thief and the king of thieves.
The leader of Xupu, the number one general under the Hun Evil King, is not contemptuous, your head, I Huo Quai's illness accepted it!
