Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6 Thinking of Countermeasures to Disturb the Hulu
The Xiongnu scout team walked back for an hour, and then encountered the tribal brigade behind.

There are three to four hundred people in this Xiongnu bandit.

There are hundreds of cavalry in the front, a few barbarians in the lead, and dozens of cavalry behind them, all wearing armor, including Zha Jia from the Central Plains and bronze scale armor from the Northern Huns. It is the ring sword of the Han army.

As for the rest of the people, their bodies were much worse. Some wore wooden armor and some wore bone armor. They were scattered all over their bodies, as if they were wearing sheets. As for the effect, it was hard to say.

What these people hold in their hands is either short spears or maces, which are much worse than those in front of them.

After hearing the report from the scouts, one of the Hu generals at the head looked furious and shouted, "Damn your mother!"

"Han dogs are shameless, you are incompetent, shame on adults!"

The scouts were all afraid to speak.

General Na Hu became restless and turned to look at the team behind him.

Behind the brigade, there are hundreds of Hun infantry and hundreds of carts pulling goods.

Behind them, there are hundreds of women with disheveled hair, most of them are young, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, staggering forward with the cart.

In the back is the deferred team of the Hun chief.

General Hu felt a little uneasy, saying that the people of Youji were tough, but a few hunters dared to provoke the scouts of the Xiongnu, isn't it a little abnormal?

Yuan Xi took a binoculars and carefully watched the scene more than ten miles away.

Scattered Xiongnu soldiers appeared in the mountain road, leading by a hundred Hun Qingqi. Although the valley was quite spacious, this group of Qingqi still had several rows in front and behind, filling the road in the valley to the brim.

What's even more surprising is that compared to the rumored Huns who wore leather robes and rarely wore armor, less than half of this group of cavalry were armored!

After that, hundreds of Hun infantry walked slowly.

Yuan Xi's face became serious.

There are actually quite a few infantry in armor!

This is almost catching up with the regular army of the Han Dynasty!
This team is definitely not a simple bandit!

Where did their armor come from?
snatched?Or was it sent by someone powerful?

Yuan Xi looked through the binoculars and saw that following the Xiongnu infantry were hundreds of ragged women wearing Han family dresses.

They stumbled and followed behind, hesitated for a moment, and a Hun soldier caught up with them, and whipped them across their heads and faces.

The cries of this group of Han women were so loud that they resounded through the valley, and even Yuan Xi who was far away on the hill could hear them clearly.

Hearing the sound, Sun Li couldn't see anything under the tree, and was anxious to wait, so he wanted to grab the tree trunk and climb up, but was glared at by the veteran, so he reluctantly let go and muttered.

There were also hundreds of heavy carts in the team, with boxes of grain and grass on them. It was obvious that the gangsters had robbed a lot of things.

Behind them were hundreds of Xiongnu infantry, and in the middle there were several luxuriously dressed people riding horses, who should be Hun nobles.

Estimated to be nearly a thousand people, this team stretched for several miles in the valley.

Because of the kidnapped woman, the team was not moving fast, Yuan Xi calculated the time, and they could walk out of the valley by tomorrow at the latest, and turn to Bingzhou, then they would be unable to stop them.

Better stop them in the valley!
However, this Xiongnu army is well-equipped, with a higher rate of armor than the hundreds of soldiers in Yuan Xibei's new city. When the two sides meet, the outcome is unpredictable.

Although Zhao Yun would send a hundred troops over, the rest of the troops would stay outside Beixin City, and Yuan Xi had no choice but to keep people in the city for defense.

Although Zhao Yun is unlikely to break the contract, but the world is unpredictable, what if his generals make their own decisions?
But the current situation is already the most ideal. You must know that he was not easy to deal with either the Xiongnu or Zhao Yun.

Now with a bet, two hundred of the most elite soldiers and horses will be vacated on both sides, and the rest will be restrained by the Xincheng confrontation. Yuan Xi has already made a profit!

Yuan Xi put away the binoculars, jumped down from the tree, briefly explained the situation to everyone, and said, "Let's discuss, should we go back to the city first?"

Several old soldiers agreed one after another, but Sun Li listened with disappointment on his face. Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Sun Li, if you have any ideas, you can talk about them."

Although Sun Li was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was quite clever and quick-witted. He was rescued by Yuan Xi by coincidence before, so he became Yuan Xi's personal soldier, so he followed Yuan Xi all the time.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Sun Li couldn't help feeling flustered, Qi Qi said: "I will do whatever Big Brother asks me to do, and I don't know the twists and turns."

"But I always feel that if we leave like this, don't we let those Hugou live too comfortably?"

An old soldier heard this and said: "Sun Li boy, in normal times, we might as well let Hu Gou take a few more arrows, but now the enemy is outnumbered, what if my son is injured by the opponent?"

After hearing this, Sun Li said, "We won't fight and run away?"

"What's more, we will have a fight with these Hugou sooner or later. If we don't cut them to death first, won't we be more uncomfortable when we fight?"

When Sun Li said this, he reminded Yuan Xi.

According to the bet between myself and Zhao Yun, only 200 people can be used against the enemy. This group of Huns is not easy to deal with. What if the car overturns?
But if we can weaken the strength of this Xiongnu bandit in advance, then the odds of winning here will undoubtedly be much higher!

He looked at the scout team he brought, there were seven or eight people, they were all good at fighting bandits and horse bandits in recent years, no worse than Hun archers, but there were still too few people.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi said, "You can try to harass them."

"Sun Li, you go back to the city first, let Brother Qu bring the archers over."

Qu is the false surname that Qu Yi gave himself. Although the pronunciation of the two surnames is exactly the same, it is enough to change the soup without changing the medicine.

Qu Yi has been in charge of training the scout soldiers for the past two years, and he is quite respected by them. There are hundreds of archers available in the city.

It's not yet the time for the betting appointment. Although the head count is not counted, it is a good opportunity at night, so don't miss it!
After hearing this, Sun Li quickly got on his horse and went.

Below the mountain road, General Hu saw that it was getting late, so he ordered most of them to stop advancing and camp on the spot.

The bonfire was raised, and the Xiongnu soldiers ate the game and drank the wine in their skins, singing and dancing.

The captive women could only eat coarse and moldy grain cakes, and all sat in the mud, shivering in the cold wind.

A Hun soldier was so drunk that he came over and pressed a woman to the ground. The woman cried desperately, but the other Hun soldiers laughed.

Some of the hundreds of women lowered their heads, and some showed resentment. Several of them wanted to speak, but their mouths were covered by their companions.

A savage general came over, kicked the soldier over, and cursed: "I have eaten the guts of a leopard!"

"These women were dedicated to the king's account!"

"It's not even my turn, but you have a good idea!"

The soldier got up and left angrily.

At this time, General Hu was in the big tent that he set up, and he told the leader of a richly dressed nobleman about his encounter with Orion.

Finally he bowed his head and said, "Honorable son of Shan Yu, what should we do?"

The man who was called Shan Yu's son was a man in his thirties, with thin cheeks, curly beard, slender eyes, and a fierce look in his eyes.

He listened to the words of the generals, but he didn't take it seriously. The northern land was fighting endlessly. Who would dare to provoke them now?
He thought for a while, and said: "It's just a few hunters, let's ignore them and send out scouts to explore the way forward. If there is no danger, we will set off early tomorrow morning and go out of the valley first."

"Also, pick a few beautiful ones and bring them here."

Not long after, several women were brought in, and miserable cries were heard in the tent.

In the middle of the moon, on a high mountain, Ju Yi arrived with dozens of archers.

Yuan Xi handed him the telescope, briefly talked about the situation during the day, and finally said: "What's the timing now?"
