Chapter 378 The little butterfly really stirred up the storm
An army of more than 300,000 people was defeated because of the word "grass"!
Zhu Biao couldn't believe it when he saw the message from the falcon. It was like watching a butterfly flap its wings, and a storm really blew up in the distance!
It is said that even if Li Huizu's army of more than 200,000 was defeated due to a lack of food and grass, it would be better than being trapped in the same ditch as Li Zhengfang!
Zhu Biao feels disappointed!
Standing at the top of Beiling City and looking into the distance, the world in the distance is dark. Is it the 300,000 dead souls that scare the sky?
Hu and Han are not at odds, and the Han army has always had its own pride.
The Han army would never be able to surrender to the Tartars on a large scale like the Ming army did in the late Ming Dynasty. Hu Qi set fire to the mountain last night. Although the army of more than 200,000 was in chaos, it still fought hard all night with nearly three times the enemy.
, unstoppable and defeated!
What the Falcon sent was Li Huizu's last letter. He had decided to lead his guard battalion to die. But the letter also said that the infantry was defeated, and some cavalry in the army were still trying to break out of the encirclement——
"Send this to the capital and present it to the king." Zhu Biao said to Fu Shaoxue.
"Beat the drums, blow the trumpets, gather the troops -"
"promise!"
---------------Dividing line-----------------
Qushui County. This is the northernmost county under the jurisdiction of Beiling County. In a small village in the south of the county, at noon, smoke was rising from the roofs of more than a dozen families who had returned to their hometowns.
The imperial court has sent people to notify them. The people who have moved back have all returned to Yuming in the past two days. The hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Expedition are in trouble. The Hu Gou is very likely to come back again!
But moving is not a matter of words. It is not a matter of just patting the butt and leaving. Households who dare to return to their hometowns at this time must either have saved some money before to survive these hard years; or they are real paupers with nothing.
, when they return to their hometowns to resume farming, the court will provide them with food, farm tools, and tax exemptions, which is what they want.
Therefore, even though it has only been less than a month since everyone came back, the imperial court has already issued corresponding rations, farm tools and plow horses. Of course, the latter two will not be distributed to each family, but to several families or on a village basis.
.But in any case, this pauper became a property owner.
Now the situation has changed drastically. The imperial court has notified the people to return to the south as soon as possible. The farm tools and plow horses cannot be used properly. As soon as the soldiers are notified, the whole family can go south immediately.
At the end of the village, several children were chasing each other and playing. The children did not know the hatred of the adults. A woman stood at the entrance of the village calling the children to go home for dinner. But the children were all playful and pretended not to listen when they heard it. The woman was anxious and stepped forward.
Among the children, I grabbed a six or seven-year-old boy by the ear and dragged him home. Suddenly I heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from behind. Looking back, I saw a horseman galloping towards me in the distance.
Are the officers and soldiers coming again?
The woman's heart was gloomy. She was about to live a stable life, so why did the imperial court suffer another big defeat? When the report said that the battle situation was on the right side, it was not a defeat. Otherwise, how could the barbarians still be there if all the nine frontiers had been taken back?
Come to Beiling?
She took her son and headed to the village, "Tell the father, let's leave in the afternoon..." After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard the cry of the child behind her. Looking back, the woman was so frightened that her feet were shaking.
Soft, face ashen!
The few children who were still playing were all frightened by the rushing Hu Qi and stood motionless on the spot!
"Run! Run! The wild dog is coming -" the woman yelled heartily! She picked up her child and ran towards the village.
Damn it, Hu Qi actually crashed directly into the pile of those poor children. His young body was hit by the galloping horses and flew straight away, and several of them didn't even scream!
The girl's childish cries came from behind, and the woman could hear clearly that she was the daughter of Lao Zhao's family in the west of the village. There were seventeen families in the whole village, and Lao Zhao's family and her own family were all old households in the village.
, the relationship is close.
The crying stopped suddenly, and no matter how anxious the woman was to escape, she couldn't help but turn around. What she saw was a spear whizzing towards her, the tip of the spear piercing her chest! Before the woman died, she was knocked down by the cavalry again.
She was trampled on, and she still held tightly to her son, who was pierced by a spear with her, and refused to let go. But she did not see the weak figure of the daughter of the old Zhao family until her death.
"Here comes the wild dog! Here comes the wild dog!" shouts spread throughout the small village. Every household of the seventeen households turned pale.
"Run away quickly..."
"Fight with the idiots..." Some rushed out in a hurry, and some fought with red eyes. But the seventeen families were so weak. What was waiting for them was either a machete or a spear that killed them with one blow, or a roaring attack.
Arriving arrows.
Among the Hu cavalry, one person reined in his horse and stood at the entrance of the village, holding a scimitar and shouting loudly, with a raging and arrogant smile on his face.
It was too easy for three to four hundred Hu cavalry to wipe out a village with only seventeen households. While the killing was going on, more people had piled firewood in the open space at the head of the village, and some Hu soldiers were searching each household.
In every residential house.
The grain in the bag was thrown on the ground. The Hu people would not eat it. The two half-sized piglets and a working cow in the village became the only trophies of the Hu people. As for the plowing horses, they did not even look at them.
.The knife was slashed on the horse's neck, and blood spurted out.
The plow horses allocated by the Northern Han government were either pack horses or slightly disabled war horses, which were of course worthless in the eyes of the Hu people.
Screams were everywhere in the village, and any villager discovered by the Hu people was hacked to death without even saying a word. In less than half a meal, there was no one in the village except the Hu Qi who was howling crazily.
There was no other sound at all.
Hu Qishou at the entrance of the village no longer held the knife in his hand. He was leaning on a tree stump and looking at the piglets being barbecued. Suddenly he heard a shrill scream of a woman. He looked for it and saw his own.
A group of men were carrying three Han women out of the village.
"Beast, beast!" The first of the three women struggled the most fiercely, shouting and cursing incessantly. But this only made the surrounding barbarians more excited!
The leader strode forward and grabbed the first woman by the neck. His voice stopped immediately. He looked down and saw a smile on his face. He picked up the woman from his hands and threw her to the ground. He saw that she was still fighting for her life.
He struggled and laughed, dragging the woman's legs with his other hand, pressing his lower body with his knees, and tearing at the woman's skirt with both hands.
The surrounding area was surrounded by barbarians, all staring intently. Heavy breathing came and went, occasionally mixed with the gurgling sounds from a few people's throats.
"Beasts, beasts who deserve to go to the eighteenth level of hell..." The woman was pressed to the ground unable to move, crying and cursing hysterically. But it was just like protesting. Just crying and cursing is the most useless thing. Her lower body
The skirt was completely torn off, and the snow-white thighs hooked up so much that the exhaling leader swallowed his saliva. He eagerly untied his belt, and the surrounding people laughed obscenely.
Such brutal acts in broad daylight are repeated in Beiling, Huaiyuan, Jiuyuan, Xinchang and other places.
A cold light flashed in the woods. A guard Eagle Eagle turned over and fell to the ground in the cold wind. A group of people not far away from him were sitting around a fire to warm themselves. The Eagle Eagles were surprised and angry.
He was on alert, and then he saw another arrow shooting out from the forest. The eagle being targeted ducked and easily dodged the arrow, and five or six arrows had already been shot in the direction of the arrow.
No screams were heard, and the sound of 'dud' arrows hammering into tree trunks was dispersed in the cold wind. Two horses came out from the front of the woods. The red shirts revealed their identities. The Han Army's Dying Front
.
"Chase. Chase me -" the leader of the shooting eagle shouted loudly, and jumped up to the war horse, shouting to his subordinates! A group of people promised loudly, urging the war horses to rush to catch up. But it only lasted a quarter of an hour.
When they arrived, the Eagle Eagles, who were only half of their number, hurriedly hit their horses and fled in the opposite direction. In the open field to the south, hundreds of Han army cavalry came with a thunderous force.
.
"Woo, woo..."
In a messy village, a noble leader with silver rings in his ears smiled. A trace of bloodthirsty ferocity flashed at the corner of his mouth. How many troops were left among the Han people in Luozhou, and they still dared to fight back and protect the civilians. I don’t know.
Life or death!
Unlike Uwetuo and the two Hu people from Wushi who had extinguished most of their inner passions during the ten years of fighting, these Hu people who went south to Beiling followed Wu.
Check new tribes joining the battlefield.
They are hungry wolves that have been trapped for many years. They are sweeping through the northern region of Luozhou in a mad manner, greedily passing through every village, not sparing any bones as big as slag.
At the same time, they also kept the most basic thoughts of the Hu people in their minds - cowardly Han people and cowardly Southerners.
After ten years of fighting, the Hu people generally had a considerable upper hand, which inspired their inner desires even more crazily and strengthened their beliefs! Especially in the first battle of their "come out of the mountains", Wuji was annihilated in one fell swoop
After conquering the Han Dynasty, the 300,000 allied troops in Zhongshan made some arrogant and arrogant guys begin to despise the Han army from the bottom of their hearts! Zhang Bao, the uncle of the personal guard, followed the general Zhu Zhong on horseback, took the black lacquer bow from the saddle, and
He nocked a sharp arrow and looked at Zhu Zhong. The latter tilted his head, Zhang Bao opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and took a look at the man who was rushing at the front, General Hu. When the bowstring sounded, the sharp arrow flew out, and General Hu
He fell down in response.
Zhu Biao rushed to Jiuyuan County with Chen Mengren and Zhu Tong's two battalions, while Zhu Zhong's middle battalion, Luo Yaxiu's front battalion, and Zhou Ziang's left battalion stayed in Beiling to guard and assist the people returning to the city.
Li. Seeing that the number of Hu cavalry was smaller than his own, instead of fleeing immediately, he launched an attack. His face immediately sank. How crazy! He simply didn't take Zhongying into consideration!
Zhang Bao hit the target with an arrow, and Zhu Zhong showed a smile. He was about to cheer, but he saw the fallen Hu general immediately stood up after falling from his horse, and cut off the arrow on his shoulder blade with a knife. The Hu man next to him raised his hand
He immediately jumped on the horse again!
The two armies connected under a hail of arrows, and Zhu Zhong's offensive was actually blocked. These Hu cavalry have a strong fighting spirit. It is obvious that they are not familiar with Zhu Zhong's troops in terms of individual combat ability and military discipline, but few people do.
Escape, let alone surrender, fight to the end and die.
"Damn, I almost got killed!" At the front of the middle camp, Army Sima Zheng Taiping galloped over on horseback. On the armor, the mark of a sharp blade was clearly visible. If he hadn't been of a high enough level, he would have been wearing fish scales.
Jingjia, this sword is enough to kill him.
Two soldiers came over with a silver ring and threw it under Zhu Zhong's horse. The armor on his chest had been cut in half with a knife, leaving a bloody mess. It was Zhu Zhong's own hand on the battlefield!
Yinhuan Hu's eyes widened, his chest kept rising and falling, and blood kept spilling from his mouth. But there was no trace of fear in his eyes, and he stared straight at Zhu Zhong, full of defiance, disdain and disobedience.
"Send him a ride." Zhu Zhong said without hesitation. Anyway, there are more than one prisoner captured, and there is always someone who can get some information. In the future, this group of prisoners will not be the only ones!
As soon as the words came out, the snake spear in Zhang Bao's hand poked out like a poisonous snake, and pierced his chest with the spear, and the spearhead penetrated into the ground! Hu buried his hands deeply into the soil, let out a temporary roar, and his eyes burst out with hatred.
Light, Zhang Bao snorted coldly and twisted the spearhead!
