Chapter 57 The Han Army’s Counterattack ([-]) "Send the order to break camp tomorrow and break through Pingcheng."
"Chanyu, don't you want to attack anymore?"
"Chanyu, so many sons of the tribe have died, so let's just forget about it?"
"Chanyu, let me lead my men to attack again tomorrow. I promise to take down the underworld."
"."
Tan Shihuai's decision caused a stir among the tribal leaders. Not only did they not get anything from this trip south, they also lost so many people. How could they be willing to accept it?
Tan Shihuai understands the leaders who are making a fuss. They originally wanted to go south to plunder a wave and return with a full load, but now they have to go back in disgrace. How will they explain to their clansmen when they return? "This time we went south, we were under-prepared, and the Han people were over-prepared. I thought we would go back and reorganize, and quickly go south again, catching the Han people off guard."
This is what Tan Shihuai thinks, "Now, we don't have much food and grass left. Depending on the weather, it will take us five days to go back at the fastest speed. If we don't want all the tribesmen to be trapped and starve to death here, Just come back with me and regroup.”
After listening to Tan Shihuai's words, everyone calmed down.
"The Great Chanyu is right. This time we go back, bring all the supplies and men, form an army of 20, and then quickly go south again, we will definitely be able to defeat the Yin Pavilion."
Que Ju was the first to speak up and support Tan Shihuai's decision.
Later, Yuwen, Duan, and Rouran also supported, and other small tribes could not help but agree.
# Ninth day heading south.
Liu Han, who was standing on the top of the city, suddenly discovered that the Xianbei camp was empty!
"Snapped!"
Liu Han patted the city wall with his palm and said hurriedly: "This guy Tan Shihuai ran away last night!"
He is worthy of being a grassland hero. He knew that there would be no benefits from going south this year, yet he was so decisive and turned around and ran away! "He can't run fast."
Although the expression of Xi Zhicai on the side changed for a moment, it immediately returned to normal, "The snow has melted, the roads are muddy, tens of thousands of people are heading north, and the horses' hooves are not that fast.
My lord, you should send cavalry to entangle them along the way. Also, send people to destroy the road along the way and defend it according to danger. "
"Yes." Liu Han followed Xi Zhicai's train of thought and made a decisive decision: "Here comes someone!"
"Hurry up and hurry up. Cheng Pu's [-] cavalry in Mayi, Xu Huang's [-] cavalry in Wuzhou, [-] cavalry in Pianguan, [-] cavalry in Loufan, and [-] cavalry in Fanju, together with our [-] cavalry, head north quickly!"
"Here!"
"Order Wang Tao and Juyang to garrison, destroy the road heading north, and block the enemy at various points along the way. But don't go all out. Their mission is to hold back the Xianbei army, not to annihilate it."
"Here!"
Soon, the gate of the Yin Hall opened wide.
"drive!"
"drive!"
"drive!"
The horse's hooves hit the ground, making a dull sound that seemed to shake the entire neighing of the fierce horses was as majestic as thunder.
Liu Han took the lead, followed by Lu Bu and four thousand cavalry. The cavalry were dressed in iron armor, holding spears in their hands, and carrying quivers on their backs. They rushed out from the north gate. They controlled the fierce horses, showing unparalleled speed and north!
Full speed north! After two days of hurried travel, everyone finally received news in Juyang that the Tanshihuai tribe had successfully crossed the Luo River and was temporarily stranded sixty miles south of Pingcheng.
On the way back this time, Tan Shihuai could be said to have gone through 81 disasters. Along the way, the roads were damaged, there were traps everywhere, hidden arrows were shot in the mountains and forests, or rolling rocks fell from the top of the mountain.
"The Han people really show their despicability to the fullest!"
Tan Shihuai gritted his teeth. Although the progress of the two-day journey did not decrease much, the scouts were spread out twenty miles away from the army and suffered heavy losses.
The army marched 120 miles in two days, but for every mile it advanced, 50 people were killed or wounded.
# Heading south No. 11 days and nights.
As the saying goes, misfortune lies behind blessings, and misfortunes lie behind them. A sudden heavy snowfall caused some trouble for the march, but it also became the best cover for the march.
North of the Great Wall, there are endless grasslands, vast deserts, and glaciers and snowy areas that are frozen all year round. The tribes are mostly nomadic, so the population is very scattered.
Therefore, Xu Rong, Huang Zhong and [-] elites marched day and night every day. The heavy snow kept all the grassland peoples in their tribes, and no one even noticed that a Han army had touched their Shan Yuting.
Now, they have been hiding in the mountains and forests thirty miles north of Shan the dark night, the stars and moon are hidden behind the clouds, and everything is was a deep silence, broken only by the breath of the cavalry and the gentle tapping of the horses' hooves.
Along the way, in order to avoid leaking the news, all these small Xianbei tribes were cleared away, leaving no one alive.
Afterwards, the army rested in place, recuperating their strength and preparing for the upcoming war.
Originally, Xu Rong and Huang Zhong had not planned to do such a trick, but after capturing those tribal camps, they saw that the burly people who had been plundered in previous years were tortured so much that they were even worse than pigs and dogs. Not to mention them, the entire army was My face is red, since you dare to be the first grader, then I will be the fifteenth grader! kill!
Genocide!
With the cover of heavy snow, the sound could not penetrate and the news could not be spread. Only the blood stained the white snow, and the fire burned the tribe.
# Ugly time (3 .).
Danhan Mountain, Shan Yuting.
At this moment, everyone in the largest tribe in Xianbei fell into a deep sleep.
They never expected that a targeted, devastating, and sudden night attack would come quietly.
A trip outside the Great Wall made Xu Rong and Huang Zhong's 1 troops become as strong as iron. They would not let go of the children, women and children of the Xianbei people. Thinking of the compatriots who were killed and tortured by the aliens, they thought of them. What happened to Han women and children, even those with Xianbei blood, even women, children, and children, if you want to blame them, blame this damn world.
There is no peace in this world, only cruel blood and killing. Either you kill someone or someone kills you, it all depends on whose knife is faster.
Xu Rong and Huang Zhong, each with 5000 men, quietly set off the sentry outside and agreed to attack from two directions as soon as the fire lit up.
The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and with bright eyes through the dark night, the cavalrymen saw the lights of the huddled closer together, ready to that moment, the silent night sky was broken by the sound of horse hooves, shaking like thunder.
The darkest moment of the grassland is coming! The fire in Chan Yu Ting soared into the sky. Some people were still sleeping, unable to sleep due to inhaling too much smoke. Some people were burned alive by the fire, and their painful shouts echoed across the sky. Some people were among the chaotic crowd. , was hacked to death with a knife.
The Xianbei leader who was in the royal court was caught off guard by this sudden attack. He panicked and could only respond in a hurry.
However, the cavalry attacking from two directions were like a tide that could not be shuttled skillfully through the camp, killing people when they saw them and setting fire to them. In the chaos of Shan Yuting, the Xianbei leader could not organize an effective defense at all.
