The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 171 Two birds with one stone

The Huns are nomadic people. They often have to face the harsh natural environment. They have developed the ability to ride and shoot well. They are barbarians in their bones. When facing sudden crises, emotions often have the upper hand of reason.

Therefore, when the Yinling Flying Cavalry came to rob the camp, the first reaction of the Xiongnu soldiers was definitely not to think about how many enemies there were, and whether they could pass such an analysis of the situation, but to pick up the knife and hack the enemy to death first.

In history, both the Xiongnu and other northern foreigners had the ambition to go south to invade the Central Plains. Even if they succeeded, it would be short-lived. factor.

In terms of wisdom, they are far behind the Han people, not to mention the Han people's technology, population, tenacity in the imprint of the national spirit, etc.

Liu Xie asked the Southern Huns to rescue him. Guo Jia scoffed at this kind of behavior of luring wolves into the house. The civil strife in China is never the turn of outsiders to intervene, but Guo Jia will not resent Liu Xie. This big Han emperor has nowhere to go, and has reached the point where he can only pin his hopes on foreigners. This is the sad thing about him as an emperor. The Liu family's world is enough to see that it exists in name only.

From a realistic point of view, the land of Sanfu is already under Guo Jia's control, and the Southern Huns came without warning, so Guo Jia can't be blamed for killing them.

After the robbing of the camp, order was quickly restored in the Southern Huns camp. Hu Chuquan hugged Yu Fuluo's body and cried out to the sky, the desolate whistling mixed with infinite anger.

Qubei and the other generals of the Huns surrounded by him all had expressions of gnashing their teeth.

Hu Chuquan and Yu Fuluo are all leaders who are demeaning.

Yu Fuluo was shot and killed, the Huns camp fell into grief and anger, and the anger of revenge burned more and more in his chest.

He went to humble people to count the soldiers and horses and check the number of casualties. He didn't go to comfort Huchuquan. It was a common thing for him to die and the lights went out when he was marching and fighting. As a leader, he had long been numb in the face of death.

After the post-war counting and statistical report came up, Qu Bei had a grim expression, his muscles twitched, and there were more than 6000 soldiers who were killed and unable to fight anymore!

If this number reached Gan Ning's ears, it would definitely be frustrating news for him.

It is impossible for Yinling Feiqi to rob the camp and retreat completely. More than 63 soldiers died in the Huns camp, and there were [-] soldiers who fell off their horses and were captured alive.

Behind each of the 63 soldiers of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry, two Xiongnu soldiers pressed their shoulders and knelt down side by side.

Hu Chuquan was furious, and came to the prisoner with a machete in his hand. From right to left, he bent down to stare at the first prisoner, his eyes were like copper bells, bloodshot, and he asked, "Who sent you here?"

噗

A mouthful of phlegm was spit on Huchuquan's face, and the captured Yin Ling Feiqi raised his head and looked at him resolutely.

叱

A fountain of blood gushed out from the captive's neck, and he fell to the ground, twitching for a few times before being silent.

Hu Chuquan, who was splashed with blood, moved to the second person and asked the same question.

Another fountain of blood spurted out...

After killing more than 30 people in a row, someone finally recruited.

After six or seven prisoners gave the same answer, Hu Chuquan ordered all the prisoners to be killed.

Hu Chuquan, covered in blood, came to the big tent, and said in a humble and cold voice: "I found out, they are soldiers of Li Jue and Guo Si."

Qubei had already been mentally prepared. Judging from the clothing of the captives and the dead enemy soldiers, it was indeed the Li Jue and Guo Si troops who had fought with them before. Now the confirmation from the captives only dispelled the last doubts.

With a gloomy and cold expression, Quba ordered: "All the captured Han Chinese in the general will be killed and buried with Yu Fuluo! After dawn, enter Chang'an!"

Hu Chuquan went back out of the big tent, killed all the Han slaves they captured on the spot, and dumped their corpses in the wilderness.

It was a secret order issued by Guo Jia that Yinling Feiqi robbed the camp. Apart from giving the Southern Xiongnu a head-on blow when they were unprepared, it also had other profound meanings.There will definitely be captured soldiers in this camp robbery. In addition to wearing the clothes of Li Jue and Guo Si's army on their bodies, the captured people must insist that they are Li Jue and Guo Si's people.

If it was another opponent, there might really be some people who surrendered in order to survive.

But in the face of the Xiongnu, the soldiers of the Han people had the consciousness of mortal death, and became captives. They could either be slaves or dead souls.

The Huns harassed the Han people and plundered their population and supplies. The men of the Han people became the hard labor slaves of the Huns, and the women of the Han people became the playthings and reproductive tools of the Huns.

If the soldiers of the Taiping Army were killed in battle, their families would be treated kindly by Guo Jia. If they surrendered, the disaster would be worse than their wives and children. Guo Jia would not pursue their families, but they would not have a living security, and they would no longer be able to hold their heads up in front of their parents. .

There is also a bottom line for soldiers to surrender. No matter how cowardly a soldier is, it depends on who he is dealing with when he bows his knees.

A strong general has no weak soldiers under his command. The Jinfan Army has been cultivated by Gan Ning for several years. Gan Ning is convinced that his soldiers must have the blood and unyieldingness that a man should have!

At dawn, the entire army of the Huns set off, heading west with vengeful anger.

The three armies of Guo Jia, Han Sui and Ma Teng came from the east and hurried on their way.

One east and one west, the two parties met unexpectedly.

After the wind passed without trace, a murderous spirit permeated the Xiongnu army, ready to start killing at any time.

Han Sui and Ma Teng led Xiliang iron cavalry in front. When they heard that King Zuo Xian of the Southern Huns was leading an army, they were shocked at first, and then suddenly realized.

The two armies stopped, half a mile apart, and Ma Teng and Han saw Qubei and Huchuquan in front of the Huns army on the opposite side. Ma Teng smiled and said: "They came a step late, Li Jue and Guo Si have already been executed."

Han Sui was in high spirits, in a good mood, and said with a hearty smile, "Yes, they can only go back home, and the credit is ours."

The two chatted and laughed happily, without any vigilance. The Hun army on the opposite side was full of murderous looks. Qubei squinted his eyes and shouted loudly: "Who are you?"

Ma Teng and Han Sui only heard their names when they went to Bei, but never met each other.

Qubei was a rescue soldier invited by the emperor, but Ma Teng and Han Sui only thought they were friendly troops, so he revealed his identity.

"You came from Chang'an, where is Li Jue and Guo Si?" Qu Bei sneered, not paying attention to the two of them.

Hearing the question of Qubei, Ma Teng and Han looked at each other with a playful smile.

Sure enough, he came to kill Li Jue and Guo Si to take credit, but it was a pity that he was one step too late.

Satisfied, Han Suizhi smiled and said, "The two thieves have already stretched their necks and killed them. I am waiting for this trip to present the heads of the two thieves to the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, Qu Bei's expression changed slightly, he was uncertain.

Li Jue and Guo Si are dead?

Who was the man who robbed the camp last night?
At this moment, Hu Chuquan came to him on horseback, and said in a deep voice, "Verify the truth."

Qubei nodded, and then shouted at Han Suimateng: "Send the heads of the two of them here and let me have a look."

Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at each other again, but frowned.

Is there such a blatant take of credit?

If the head of Li Jue and Guo Si is sent there, who can guarantee that the Huns will not take it for themselves?
"Could it be that Your Excellency doubts what I said?"

Ma Teng's face was ugly, and he thought: The Huns are really not good at being stubblers.

Qu Bei was furious, and roared: "How can I trust the one-sided words of the two of you? If you don't send the head of Li Jue and Guo Si for me to verify, then you have a ghost in your heart, and it must be the two thieves with Li Jue and Guo Si Collusion!"

Why do you want to add sin?

Ma Teng and Han Sui felt uncomfortable, thinking that King Zuo Xian of the Huns was making trouble for no reason.

But if you don't give it to him, look at his irritable appearance, it seems that he won't give up until he starts a war.

The two remained silent, hesitating, and the patience to be humble was also passing away bit by bit.

Behind the Xiliang cavalry were Han Suimateng's infantry, and further back, half a mile away, was Guo Jia's army.

Guo Jia, who was sitting on the chariot, had already learned about the situation ahead, called Zhang Liao to his side, and said calmly: "Wen Yuan, put down the carbine-repelling guns, let the crossbowmen and archers prepare to meet the enemy, and go to Dian Wei and Xu Chu sent an order that the Tiger Guards stand by behind the crossbowmen of the central army, Xu Chu led the army to protect the right flank, and you should send more archers to the left flank."

Zhang Liao accepted the order with clasped fists, and immediately passed on the order, and Guo Jia's [-] troops started to move.

First put out the carbine guns in front of the army, and then a row of 2000 crossbowmen, a total of five rows.

Bows and crossbows have a long range and strong power, but they are only suitable for fixed-point shooting, not mobile warfare, because bows and crossbows are heavy, and it takes time to adjust the aim. In this regard, bows and arrows have an advantage.

It takes time to load and string the bows and arrows, so [-] crossbowmen are divided into five rows and shoot in turn, trying not to give the enemy a chance to approach.

Behind the crossbowmen, Dian Wei's heavy armored infantry tiger guards were ready for battle, and Guo Jia's chariot was behind the tiger guards. Standing up, he could observe the entire battlefield clearly.

On the two wings of the central army, there are [-] archers on the left wing. Because of the Weishui River, they can prevent the enemy from outflanking from a long distance.On the right flank, Xu Chu led [-] sword shield soldiers and the remaining [-] archers.

Jia Xu rode a horse and protected Guo Ye to the side of the chariot, looking ahead, Jia Xu didn't know what was going on ahead, and he didn't know anything about the information Guo Jia got.

But he guessed that the Huns must be in front. As for why they confronted Han Suimateng, it was difficult for him to guess.

However, would the Huns have not noticed Guo Jia's military mobilization in the rear?
Can't help looking at Guo Jia, who was sitting calmly on the chariot, Jia Xu said in his heart: Your Majesty, once the war starts, you will have a chance to bury Han Suimateng and the Huns here together.This game of killing two birds with one stone is probably brewing when you invite Han Suimateng to destroy Li Jue and Guo Si when you leave Yizhou.

The mobilization of the army and the formation of troops cannot be done quietly. The dust raised and the footsteps of the [-] troops can all attract the attention of the front.

When the Xiongnu army met Han Suimateng's iron cavalry from Xiliang, Qubei ordered to send scout horses to check the number of soldiers and horses in the army in front of him.

Han Suimateng thought that Qubei was a friendly army, but Qubei didn't think so. After being raided last night, Qubei hated the Han people to the bone.

"Report, the enemy's rear army is mobilizing, it must be preparing for battle!" Qu Bei sneered at the return of the horse inspection.

As expected!
Ma Teng and Han Sui also got the movement of Guo Jia's army, and they were in shock.

Their silence, coupled with the movement of Guo Jia's army, Qubei finally confirmed that the other party was an accomplice of Li Jue and Guo Si.

"Sure enough!"

Qubei waved his big hand and ordered the attack.

Under the leadership of Hu Chuquan, the Xiongnu cavalry who kept charging at all times, the vanguard raised their weapons and charged away.

Ma Teng Han Sui looked at the wolves and tigers of the Xiongnu cavalry and turned pale with fright. He never thought that Qu Bei was a bastard who would fight if he didn't agree with him!

We are allies!
