Hanbo

Chapter 95 The First Battle ([-])
The horse is the guarantee of their combat power, and the horse is their life.

Without horses, they are like tigers without teeth, and wolves without packs.

So their first thought after the accident was to find a horse.

Sima, the Fourth Company of the Guards in the west, watched quietly the Huns stumbling forward, waited quietly, and muttered in his heart:

'Two hundred steps...one hundred and seventeen...one hundred and two...eighty...fifty...'

And when they walked thirty steps, because of the night and their blindness, the Huns running ahead discovered the Habayashi Army.

His face changed drastically in an instant, he was yelling something, turned around and ran away.

However, it's too late.

Sima of the Fourth Guards Corps narrowed his eyes, then immediately blew his whistle, 110 and eight crossbow arrows were fired at once, then stringed, fired again, stringed, fired again.

Although the damage of crossbow projectiles is greatly reduced, it also depends on the situation.

The Huns are all shirtless, even if their power is greatly reduced, it is no problem to insert them into the flesh.

Moreover, this was still a low shot high, and the arrow fell before it could swing.

After the fifteen crossbow arrows are shot, change to a bow with a longer range, adjust the angle, and do three more rounds, and then it's over.

Those who did not come out all retreated, and none of those who came out stood still.

"Although something went wrong, this battle was not challenging at all, and even the charge was useless."

The fourth company commander couldn't help but let out an exclamation!
.........

Not only did he think so, Huo Shan, who was watching the battle from a distance, also felt the same in his heart when he saw the scene of the Huns rushing down from the east and north and being killed by the soldiers with bows and arrows.

At first the 'howling of wolves' really scared him, but after seeing that Zhao Chongguo was ready to deal with it, he was relieved.

So what if you find out?

Not to mention anything else, the number of people is several times yours.

After exploring for fifty miles, the support was ruled out. The two sides faced off against each other. Compared with each other, Huo Shan couldn't think of the possibility of losing.

Then I saw Fu Yu rushing to the camp, that was called clean and neat, and I had never been so neat during training.

Huo Shan didn't see the final crossbow attack, because he was on the east side and the battlefield was on the west side, just in the blind spot of sight.

But you can tell just by listening to the sound. There was a loud scream at first, then intermittently, and finally completely quiet. One can imagine the situation.

When the battlefield is cleaned up at dawn, you will know how many victories there are.

Huo Shan squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then told the herald beside him:

"Let the two companies in the north be divided into two teams, and charge me a few more times."

"promise."

Immediately afterwards, the herald took out the 'horn' and blew it up. Hearing the sound of the horn, he immediately took action on the battlefield.

The soldiers in charge of the siege from the north and the south moved out of the way, and the reserve teams of the two companies began to charge the camp again.

After rushing twice, Huo Shan stopped, and it was almost dawn.

As for it's almost the same, why go to the battle?

This is to scare their nerves.

Regardless of male or female, old or young, the Huns are rebellious, unless they are feared, feared, and revered.

They prey on the strong, so they also respect the strong.

The Huns must not be dead yet, not to mention those women and old men whose hearts may be full of hatred after the death of men and sons.

So what if they can't come out from hiding in the dome?Explore one by one?

There would definitely be casualties, and these soldiers Huo Shan couldn't bear to let them die in vain.

So it is the best policy to frighten them out and let them throw away their weapons and come out obediently.

If he refuses to repent and refuses to come out, then... there is something called fire, which Huo Shan thinks is very good.

What women and children can't be killed, there is no such thing with Huo Shan.

If they were peaceful, Huo Shan would not be willing to kill them. If they dared to show even the slightest bit of hatred, they would be enemies in the future.

When they rushed into the Han land, robbed the grain and slaughtered the city, and took the Han people into slavery, and lived a life that was not as good as pigs and dogs, they were not kind at all.

This is war, and kindness to the enemy is the greatest harm to oneself.

Therefore, there cannot be even the slightest kindness to the enemy.

Kindness, that is for one's own people.

.........

After dawn, Huo Shan took off his cloak and put on his fish scale armor, then put on his helmet, and a heroic young general appeared in front of everyone.

Then Huo Shan paired it with a knife and put on Chi You's mask, which again revealed a vicious look.

Huo Shan untied the rope between the two horses, handed Li Yu to Sun Shang, took off the bow and spear and hung it on the champion, turned over and rode on the champion, and then went to the Xiongnu camp under the guard.

Huo Shan went directly to the north because Zhao Chongguo and most of the army were here.

"Captain/Master."

Everyone bowed their hands to Huo Shan who was wrapped tightly.

Huo Shan stared at the Xiongnu camp, and then ordered:
"Zhang An sent people forward and told them to put down their weapons and come out, and Benhou can spare the old women and children who are not on horseback.

Give them a quarter of an hour. If they don't come out, the arrow feathers will be covered, and another quarter of an hour will set fire to the camp. "

A dull voice came from under Huo Shan's visor, and everyone couldn't help being excited when they thought of the scene of the scorched earth.

"Ok?"

Huo Shan looked at Zhang An, revealing those pure black eyes as deep as an abyss under the hole in his mask.

"Respect."

Zhang An responded quickly.

"String the crossbow."

"promise!"

The soldiers waited quietly after winding the strings.

Unexpectedly, just as the people sent by Zhang An finished shouting, they shouted again. About half an hour later, a large group of people came out.

The man bowed his head, and some women were holding five or six-year-old children, and some were holding the arms of old people. Five or six, seven or eight people gathered together.

Huo Shan took a glance, and visually estimated that there should be five to six hundred of these people, and there are nearly two hundred men.

And Huo Shan's definition of a Xiongnu man is a man between the ages of 14 and 45.

But in this era, the definition of this topic is very complicated, and the Han and the Huns are not the same.

On the side of the Xiongnu, if there is an urgent shortage of soldiers in the war, as long as they are adults, those who can ride a horse and wield a knife are all men, and the same is true for women.

The rest are old people, children and women.

After these people waited for a while, a girl walked down tremblingly with the help of an old woman.

As soon as they came in front of the army, the two knelt down, and then raised their hands to bow to Huo Shan, or it would be more correct to say that they bowed to the champion flag behind Huo Shan.

The old lady has been praying, praying non-stop, and she doesn't know what to say.

Although Huo Shan knew a little simple Xiongnu language, he couldn't understand it because it was too complicated. He learned this to prevent his translators from fooling him, as long as he could understand it.

Moreover, the old woman was far away from him, so he couldn't hear him clearly.

Huo Shan looked at her with great interest, he was not afraid of the old woman delaying time, the surrounding fifty miles had been blocked, and the camp was besieged, she couldn't play tricks.

After worshiping for a full quarter of an hour, the old woman still didn't stop, Huo Shan and the others got a little impatient:

"Three points from the angle, one point higher."

Zhao Chongguo next to him blew his whistle immediately, and the soldiers also moved, waiting to press the launch pin.

After this threat, the old woman stopped and stood up tremblingly.

After standing up, the old woman raised both hands to her left chest, pressed her right hand to her left hand, bent her right leg, bent her knees, bowed her head, and gave Huo Shan a blessing.

Huo Shan frowned, she followed the etiquette of Han girls.

Huo Shan let out a dry cough and attracted Zhang Anshi who was next to him, and then waved his fingers. After saluting, Zhang Anshi rode forward a few steps.

But he still stood behind the soldiers in the front row and asked loudly:
"Han people?"

The old woman hesitated, but said:
"Exactly."

Huo Shan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

This old woman is amazing, she should be a captured Han woman, but judging by her attire, she is also a tribal witch sacrifice.

It's amazing that Han Chinese slave women are used as witch sacrifices!
You know, Wu Ji's status in the tribe is higher than that of the leader of the tribe. This old woman should be from a wealthy family.

I don't know how much hardship she has gone through to get to this point.

"I heard that Champion Hou has... passed away?"

The old lady asked in his slightly weird Chinese.

Zhang Anshi looked back at Huo Shan, seeing that he didn't respond, so he replied:
"Son."

"Why do you want to go forward?"

The old lady felt a little bitter in her heart. As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you will marry a dog.

No way, who can she blame in her life?If you want to blame, you can only blame the emperor, the generals, and blame them for not protecting you well.

"My ministry is willing to surrender."

Huo Shan frowned, he didn't intend to surrender at first, because it would only slow him down.

After beckoning, Zhang Anshi came back, and Huo Shan asked:
"How many miles is this place from the other side in the cloud?"

"Return to the school captain, according to Yunzhong, it is about five hundred or nearly six hundred miles away."

"How far is it from Gongnu Water?"

"Uh, about two hundred miles in 2000."

Huo Shan nodded, and made a rough estimate, almost.

Everyone set off from Yuyang, Shanggu County crossed the Great Wall and entered the grassland, and then walked northwestward, and then walked nearly a hundred miles to the north.

If you draw a north-south straight line, they should be more than 500 miles away from the center of the north between Shanggu and Yunzhong.

And the destination in Huo Shan's mind is Gongnu River, because Zuo Xian's court is most likely to be along the route of Gongnu Water, the Kherlen River in Mongolia in later generations.

The birthplace of the Gongnu water is in the famous Langjuxu Mountain West Range. The upstream of the Gongnu Water flows from the source of the Langjuxu Mountain West Range, and then flows south along the East Range.

And Langjuxu Mountain is not a simple mountain, it is a mountain range, so it is very long and has a wide range.

If he really finds Zuo Xianwangting in Gongnushui, if he can really win the battle.

After that, you can walk along the east side of Langjuxu to the west, directly to the place where Fenglangjuxu is located, and directly to Shanyuting.

Er Shanyu was originally Zuo Xianwang. After he succeeded, Zuo Xianwang is currently vacant.

According to historical records, he died after serving as Shanyu for three years, which is further proved by his uncle Youxian King's succession after his death.

Moreover, he succeeded Shan Yu, and he must bring some troops from the Zuoxian King's Department.

So Zuo Xian Wang's court is just empty at the moment, how can the Huns be worthy of themselves if they don't make money when they come!
