The five hundred and seventieth chapters are hard to see people's hearts
"Bang!" The gourd that Yuan Tong added the last drop of wine to fell to the ice. The 2,780 Han soldiers were galloping on the frozen white water ice.
Behind them, five or six miles away, thousands of horsemen were chasing after them, beating their horses like crazy.
Forage and fuel were burned, sheds were smashed, tens of thousands of horses ran away, and the panicked cattle and sheep turned the entire Huqi camp into their world.
After paying the price of more than twenty people, the Han army mounted their horses one by one and left quickly.
However, compared with the skilled equestrianism of the Hu cavalry behind him, Zhu Biao's soldiers, those brave men who just moments ago were rushing in front of Hu people dozens of times their size, were now holding the horses' necks tightly, with their legs clamped
On the horse's belly, he kept his body balanced and did not dare to make any big movements.
Their riding skills are so bad, even the mounted infantry can only be considered the lowest level.
It's still the same place. They took off their iron armor, threw away their swords and spears, and the energetic Han soldiers wearing only leather robes briskly climbed up to the top by pulling the ropes. In the end, they only left the wish to last more than 200 war horses.
Biao, he really didn't leave any head for the approaching Hu Qi.
"We detoured from Baishan Pass to the cliff, then followed Baishui and walked more than 20 miles in the dark in such weather to the camp. Without taking a break, three hundred people went into battle, leaving the camp with one or two thousand people.
People were killed and injured, and finally they rode back along the original road?
Are you crazy or am I crazy?
Are there such soldiers in the world? They are all composed of yellow-robed mages and red-robed mages?"
Ana Qiongqi looked at Du Lun with an angry smile. It was true that the Han troops in the valley were powerful, and he absolutely admitted it. But no matter how powerful the Han troops were, they could not reach the level where they could march back and forth for dozens of miles tonight as usual.
Unless they are all martial arts masters.
But Ana Qiongqi had been fighting against the Han soldiers in the Valley for a while before, and he knew that although the Han soldiers in the Valley were powerful, they were not martial arts masters at all, but real elites in a hundred battles!
In the eyes of Ana Qiongqi, Du Lun's remarks were entirely to shirk responsibility and reduce his own guilt.
The fodder and fuel were burned, it was a big deal, and it was right for Du Lun to want to reduce his culpability, but Anaqiongqi was angry. You, Du Lun, want to reduce your culpability, okay, but don't pour the sewage on my head.
Fortunately, he and Du Lun have been friends for many years, but at the critical moment, they actually want to stab him?
Du Lun opened his mouth and twisted his neck. "Why aren't there such soldiers? Aren't they just the ones in the valley? I don't think a team composed entirely of mages is as powerful as the Han army in the valley."
"You fucking fart! Du Lun, are you still speaking in human language? Do you still have a fucking face? Go tell the king, tell the brothers, and see if the king believes it or not."
A burst of anger exploded in Anaqiongqi's chest. He almost looked at this old friend who had been with him for many years as if he were a stranger. He really knows people but doesn't know his heart!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The horn sounded, and Hu Qi, who had only moved into the valley for a day, retreated after dawn.
Zhu Biao squinted his eyes as he looked at the nearly 10,000 Huqi who were gradually retreating from Baishan Pass, and rejected everyone's request to pursue them.
"I'm not busy. I want all the brothers to have a rest today. We'll go out to the valley tomorrow."
The Huqi camp is one day's journey from Uwetuo's tribe. Even if Uwetuo wants to know the news, it will be at least tonight. If the troops have to withdraw, it will be tomorrow morning at the earliest. He has enough time to take a good rest for one day.
The wind and snow gradually became lighter. The cold wind swirling in the valley completely disappeared in the afternoon. The wind outside had become almost the same as the day Zhu Biao entered the valley.
However, at this time, except Zhu Biao who was sure that the snowstorm would be lighter tomorrow, no one dared to say that there would not be another strong reply from the snowstorm tomorrow.
Because in the prediction of tomorrow's climate, Zhu Biao 'saw' two pieces of information. One is that the sun has come out; the other is that there is little wind and snow. These two results are actually the same in predicting tomorrow's climate.
in conclusion.
For Zhu Biao, the sky is sunny and the wind and snow are light, it is the same concept!
"Why don't you come out yet?"
Ten miles away from Baishan Pass, Hu Qi set up a new camp. Du Lun in the tent was whirling around anxiously. Ana Qiongqi on the side was still calm and thinking more.
The Han army is such an elite force, and the general who leads the army must not be brave or foolhardy. Looking at the series of victories he has won in the past few days, he is not an easy person.
It was broad daylight. As soon as the Han army came out of the valley, not far away was their 30,000-strong army. Did they fall into a trap or did they fall into a trap? They would definitely not be so stupid.
Moreover, the forage and fuel were all burned, and it was freezing and snowy. One more day of delay would reduce the combat effectiveness of our army. Since they were sheltered from the wind and snow in the valley, they had sufficient supplies, so naturally they were happy to delay further.
However, Ana Qiongqi still has absolute confidence that he will eventually capture the Han army in the valley. This confidence was given to him by Uweituo’s army. The Han army can continue to recuperate in the valley, but if Uweituo’s army retreats
When they reach the white mountains and white waters, if they are still in the valley and do not come out, everything will turn into a turtle in a urn.
At night, a fire broke out in the valley. Before that, ten sledges were split into foot-long wooden blocks, which were stacked on top of each other, spread with coal, and set up a fire bed that was very familiar to military personnel.
After several battles, sixty or seventy corpses of Han soldiers, those killed in battle or seriously injured, were neatly placed on the fire bed. After the fire, only the pale ashes were left...
At dawn, Zhu Biao decided to leave the valley. The ice wall was completely leveled, and the bodies of the barbarians were thrown on both sides, leaving a passage in the middle large enough for four sledges to run parallel.
Zhu Biao counted the total number of people. Seven of the 200 coachmen were killed, four were injured, and five military doctors were intact. Eighty-nine of the 800 soldiers were killed, including the soldiers who died in the mid-term sneak attack on Hu Qi's camp.
Most of the bodies were left in the Hu camp. Seventy-two were seriously injured and could not fight, deducting 161. Among the remaining soldiers, 374 were slightly injured and only 265 were uninjured.
There are Yuantong and Tian Guangzhao.
Overall, the right side of the guard camp has lost three layers of combat power. However, when necessary, 193 cart drivers and five military doctors can also carry knives and fill in the battle formation. Overall, it can only be considered a loss of a quarter.
A fighting force.
Mr. Zhu Biao, the accountant, also told the soldiers everything in detail: "We still have three-quarters of our combat strength."
"We used a quarter of our combat power as a price to kill at least two thousand Golden Wolf Cavalry and killed at least seven thousand Hu Cavalry. Then we still have three-quarters of our combat power. You will be afraid of the three thousand cavalry outside the valley.
Wanhudog?”
There is definitely nothing to be afraid of. Because all the soldiers in the valley have already put their own lives and deaths at risk. Since the day the troops were dispatched, a series of victories have allowed them to go to hell together with a smile.
However, Zhu Biao not only wanted the soldiers to be brave and unafraid of death, he also wanted the soldiers to have the heart to defeat the enemy and win.
Do the math and see how powerful the Golden Wolf Cavalry is. One of their lives is worth at least three lives of ordinary Hu cavalry. So, the Han army killed at least 13,000 ordinary Hu cavalry with a quarter of the casualties.
There are only 30,000 Huqi outside the valley. Calculated this way, there is no need to fight all the people. The Huqi outside the mountain pass will be finished first.
This was a very clear subconscious inducement. When Zhu Biao said this, a moment later a group of solemn Han soldiers smiled happily on their faces.
At dawn, the sky is gray, with a touch of white floating on the eastern horizon.
It's still far from dawn, but time has already reached the end of Yin hour, and it will be Mao hour in two quarters of an hour.
In the Baishan Pass, all the horses and sledges were ready, and the grease-soaked pine branch torches were burning.
"Let's go"
Zhu Biao still led the way, standing on a sledge in the middle of the first column. With a wave of his hand, the valley suddenly became filled with people and horses neighing.
Turku and Turben are a pair of brothers, real brothers, with agile agility, accurate archery, superb equestrian skills, flexible brains, and sharp eyes. They are the best among the vultures under Ana Qiongqi.
Since the army withdrew from the valley yesterday, the two brothers led people to sneak around the mountain pass. In the extremely cold ice and snow, the biting cold penetrated into the body through the thick leather clothes. Although the two brothers were strong, their buttocks were piercing cold.
The cold hands and feet soon forced them to hide under the rocks near the mountain pass.
During this day, their brothers and their team of eagles didn't even drink the hot barbecued mare's milk. In one night, the cold winter claimed the lives of four eagles.
Just before dawn, I found that the six people who had been sent out were full, but only two pairs came back. The remaining two people waited for a long time and still didn't see any sign of their return. Turku and Turben felt uneasy.
Raised it for a while.
The wind and snow had really subsided, and the traces from more than an hour ago were still clearly discernible. Following the traces of Turku, who was always on guard, the Turben brothers quickly found two people who were already stiff in a snowdrift.
subordinates.
There was still no movement at the mountain pass on the opposite side, but after monitoring day and night, his team of twelve people had been reduced by almost half.
The frozen corpses of the two men were looking straight at the Baishan Pass. A wave of resentment rose up in the hearts of Turku and Turben like a spitting fire. Who can use the shooting eagle like this, it's not Chunxia,
It's completely because the fate of myself and others is not destiny!
Only my own team lost five people. I don’t know how many teams were ambushed near Baishan Pass and on the surrounding hills. I don’t know how many Eagle Eagles were lost in vain...
The Han army did not show their heads at all, and they were led quietly in the mountain pass.
"Brother, is it getting dawn soon?"
Turben's eyes were staring straight at the mountain pass. To his left rear, two feet away, Turku's eyes were flexibly observing the surroundings.
"If I were the Han army, I would choose this time to come out!" Turku said in a low voice.
He didn't know what the situation was like in his army's camp ten miles away at this moment, but dawn was definitely the time when people were most asleep, and when they stayed up all night to patrol, they were most sleepy.
Turku has a feeling that the people in the camp may not have slept well tonight. The fodder and fuel were burned, and more than 3,000 war horses were lost. The two adults of Ana and Du Lun
