"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Continuous explosions sounded.
Although the Huns soldiers all panicked and fled in all directions when they saw the flying thunder coming from the sky, it was still a miserable scene.
Flesh and blood were flying all over the sky, and some soldiers even had their entire bodies fly up, leaving a large area dead and injured.
The frightened horses began to flee, and those who fell off the horses, whether they were dead or only slightly injured, were trampled to pulp in an instant.
"kill!"
"Don't let go of a Hun soldier!"
"Catch Sha Qianli alive!"
The soldiers of the Han army roared and rushed down the mountain. They held repeating crossbows and fired crossbow arrows. They threw their spears and stabbed them in rows.
Under the protection of hundreds of personal guards, Sha Qianli ran at the front. The other Huns soldiers followed closely behind, beating their horses like flying and not even daring to look back.
Those soldiers who fell behind were shot down by crossbow arrows and spears. The Han soldiers rushed up and killed them all, regardless of life or death.
"Kill!"
"Don't let me run away for thousands of miles!"
The Han soldiers shouted, but did not catch up. Although the Xiongnu soldiers were panicked, they were cavalry and they were all riding horses, so the infantry would definitely not chase them on their own two legs.
A moment later, Sha Qianli fled the battlefield with more than two thousand soldiers.
Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu immediately organized soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
The soldiers gathered up all the uninjured and slightly injured horses. These can be used as military merits, because the Han army lacked horses.
And those seriously injured and dead horses were not wasted. The meat diet in this era was very simple. The slaughter of farm cattle was prohibited, and horse meat was rarely eaten. Therefore, taking these back would naturally improve your life.
Most of the Huns¡¯ leather armor was animal skin, which not only had a protective effect, but also kept them warm in winter, so there was no waste. As for those weapons, the Han army naturally looked down upon them, but they could not throw them away casually. If the people hid the weapons, they would easily become bandits in troubled times.
Jiang Xu and Hao Zhao gained a lot from this battle, but Sha Qianli, the leader of the Kunshan tribe, was very embarrassed. He escaped for more than thirty miles in one breath before stopping to reorganize his troops.
With only 2,000 people left in the 5,000-strong army, Sha Qianli was furious and ashamed. This was the biggest defeat for his Kunshan tribe since the war, and it also greatly weakened their tribe's vitality.
The key issue is that they still lost to the Han infantry. If the leaders of other tribes knew about this, wouldn¡¯t they laugh it off? When had the Hun warriors ever suffered such a defeat?
"Chief, there is a village not far ahead. Should we take a rest there?" Yajiang Mutuo said to Sha Qianli.
Sha Qianli naturally understood what he meant by holding his teeth. If he went back in disgrace like this, it would be one thing to be laughed at by others. What was more serious was how to give orders to Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo? If you don't do it right, your head will be chopped off. The so-called rest is to rob the village, behead some people, pretend to be Han soldiers, and then return to the camp to deliver orders after a few days.
This kind of thing happened often among Huns soldiers, so it¡¯s not surprising.
"Okay, you go to the front to investigate. If there are no accidents, the army will enter the village to rest!" Sha Qianli became cautious now.
"Follow the order!"
Mu Tuo agreed and led two hundred Huns soldiers to rush to the village in front.
When I entered the village, I saw it was empty, not a single person. However, the houses are still in good condition, and they can be temporarily stationed here. As for the lack of food, this is easy to handle. They are all cavalry and can go to villages farther away to grab it.
After Mu Tuo came back, he reported the situation in the village to Sha Qianli, who made a prompt decision and led his soldiers into the village.
After marching in a hurry, being ambushed, and finally fleeing desperately, all the Huns soldiers felt very tired. After entering the village, they found their own houses and quickly dismounted to rest. When you have the strength, go look for something to eat.
In a small valley only three or four miles away from this village, Liu Hu led three thousand soldiers to hide here.
I saw a scout running towards me from a distance.
"General, Sha Qianli has led all the troops and horses into the village and is currently resting in various houses."
"Ha" Liu Hu burst into laughter after hearing this, "Fazheng Military Advisor really knows things like a god!"
It turns out that when Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu¡¯s ambush started, Tianwang CampFei Ge sent a letter to Liu Cong, the King of Han in Maling City.
Although the Han army was infantry, it had 10,000 troops and horses, which took advantage of the terrain. It also had powerful weapons such as flying thunder, and it was used for ambushes. Therefore, Fazheng and Liu Cong concluded that Sha Qianli would inevitably be defeated.
Liu Cong asked Liu Hu to lead three thousand soldiers and horses out of the city, and then ambushed him halfway, saying that when Sha Qianli's vitality was seriously injured, he completely annihilated him.
Fazheng told Liu Hu that Sha Qianli would definitely rest in Majiazhuang, the largest village nearby, and gave Liu Hu strategies to defeat the enemy so that Liu Hu could prepare in advance.
Although Liu Hu was dubious, he still made careful preparations according to Fa Zheng's arrangements.
Facts have proved that Fazheng's judgment was completely correct, and Sha Qianli and his remaining defeated soldiers indeed entered Majiazhuang to rest and recuperate.
"Let's go!" Liu Hu gave the order, and three thousand soldiers quietly surrounded Majiazhuang.
The sky slowly darkened, and Sha Qianli and his soldiers almost fell asleep because they were too tired today.
After Liu Hu led his army to the entrance of the village, he ordered the crossbowmen to put arrows on the strings, and the arrowheads of each arrow were tied with fire starters.
"Light it up!" Liu Hu gave the order, and all the arrows were lit.
"shoot!"
??Threads of fire pierced the night sky, flew towards the village, and landed in the yard, on the roof, and on the window lattice.
Every house is filled with fire starters, which Liu Hu prepared this morning. Soon, the whole village was in flames.
"ah¡¡"
"Quickly put out the fire!"
The Huns soldiers woke up from their sleep and saw thick smoke billowing everywhere and flames reaching into the sky! Yelling and screaming, jumping around in the fire. Who knew how to put out the fire? They rushed out of the village like a swarm of swarms.
"Fire the arrow!" Liu Hu gave the order again.
This time, the crossbowmen were holding repeating crossbows. All the Huns soldiers who ran out of the village were accurately shot by the crossbow arrows. The frightened horses that rushed out were caught one by one by the lasso prepared by the soldiers.
Liu Hu was riding on the back of a big black horse and was very busy. At one moment he was commanding the crossbowmen to kill the Huns' defeated troops, and at the next he was commanding other soldiers to harness their horses.
The fire stopped after burning for half an hour, and no soldiers or horses escaped from the village. Liu Hu ordered the battlefield to be cleared and all the burnt corpses buried deep to avoid the plague. This village was already dilapidated, and the people had already withdrawn into Maling City. They simply turned it into flat ground and would rebuild it for the people in the future. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
