The first thousand two hundred and ninetieth chapters, the beginning of the collapse (1)
In the northern country at the end of May, the temperature gradually rises, and midsummer has arrived!
A large number of mosquitoes and flies buzzed among the livestock and horses of the Xiongnu army, which was extremely annoying.
This is also the reason why the Huns are unwilling to invade south in summer.
High temperature, flies, and mosquitoes are everyone’s nightmare, and they can easily cause diseases.
Xu Bu kicked away a dead body in front of him and frowned.
Since King Yishi of Yougu Li broke through the Han Dynasty's defense line in Juyang, the Han Dynasty people immediately abandoned Shipi County, and then gave up a large area of land within a few days, retreating more than a hundred miles directly. In this Juyang
Only then did the nearby troops begin to block the front line of the Huns again.
But even so, everything the Han Dynasty people did seemed to be very targeted.
"On my way along, the tribe only grabbed less than 500 shi of grain and grass, and more than 100 shi of salt..." Xubu Danghu quietly squinted his eyes: "But silk, rhubarb, pickles and pickled vegetables.
I grabbed a lot of food..."
He looked at the dead man on the ground. He was starved to death!
When Zi Zaoyang entered the fortress and entered the interior of the Han Dynasty, each Huns only carried enough food for three days.
Originally, their idea was very simple, just break into the Han Dynasty and grab it.
It’s impossible not to get it!
Apart from anything else, Lou Fan and Wu Sun's livestock alone are enough to feed the entire army!
but……
Xu Bu Danghu tightly grasped the handle of the knife at his waist, and he thought of a terrible result!
"Before our army could attack, Loufan and Wusun people set fire to their homes first... They took everything away, but left nothing for us..."
"When our army attacked Zaoyang, the Han Dynasty people resisted fiercely, but after resisting for several days, they suddenly withdrew their troops..."
"Now, they have even given up on the outside of Juyang..."
What did the people of the Han Dynasty want to do?
In other words, what are they waiting for after delaying for so long?
Xubu Danghu remembered the widely circulated story that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was a god who descended to earth and could foresee the future and see thousands of miles away!
If this story is true, then when the Xiongnu decided to invade the south more than a month ago, the people of the Han Dynasty probably already knew about it.
In other words, now, he and his tribe are likely to be caught in a huge trap!
If his conjecture is correct, I am afraid that the main force of the Han Dynasty is encircling him from all directions now.
"Impossible...impossible..." Xu Bu shook his head heavily, unwilling to believe this.
But everything now had to make him think like this.
Since entering the Han Dynasty, the tribe's harvest, except for those exquisite Han Dynasty utensils and large bronzes, has been very small in terms of grain, salt and fodder that can be used for military purposes.
So far, the 30,000 cavalrymen under the command of King Yougu Li have probably only managed to grab a few thousand dan of grain and a few hundred dan of salt.
These few supplies are simply not enough to replenish losses.
It might be equivalent to two or three days of army rations. This man eats horse chews at a terrifying speed!
Apart from other things, the amount of salt water the livestock needs to drink is terrifying.
But the Han Dynasty people unusually took away almost all the food and salt.
They would rather leave gold and treasures behind, but also give priority to transporting food away!
Xubu Danghu once saw a bunch of copper coins buried under ashes and firewood in the ruins of a Han Dynasty warehouse.
But the warehouses that were supposed to hold grain were clean, with not even a grain of rice left.
All the seizures by the Xiongnu army so far come from the excavation of the homes and courtyards of local wealthy families and merchants.
In the official institutions of the Han Dynasty, what the Huns could always find were porcelain, enamel, bronze or silk.
Without premeditation and advance preparation, it would have been impossible to do something so thorough and decisive!
Thinking of this, Xubu Danghu became confused.
At this time, he remembered what the head of his clan, the Xiongnu Zuo Danghu, said to him: "When you go here, you must protect the safety of the clan's elites, don't be brave, and run away when you are in danger. No one will speak against you."
…”
At that time, Xubu Danghu thought that his uncle, the clan leader, had lost his mind and said such a thing.
But now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense.
Are the top leaders of the clan planning something?
Xu Bu Danghu didn't know, but he already understood what the clan leader meant.
Preserving yourself is the only rule of victory on the grassland.
If all the elite members of the Subu clan are destroyed here, who will advocate for the Subu clan in the future?
Thinking of this, Xu Budanghu kicked the dead body away, called one of his confidants, Lord Gudu, and told him: "Immediately take three hundred riders and wander to the area bordering Zaoyang and the grassland.
, be ready to pick me up at any time..."
"Yes!" The Marquis of Gudu took the order and left without asking.
Xubu Danghu felt that this was not safe enough, so he immediately summoned all his bones.
Guduhou is a middle-to-high-level military noble of the Xiongnu. He is responsible for fighting and is the most valiant warrior in the tribe!
Therefore, later generations once wrote poems praising: The silver saddle and jade embroidered with candid arcs break the bones of prostitutes every time.
Replace Huo Qubing's opponent with the Huns Guduhou.
This is right and wrong.
Because the Guduhou of the Huns was just like the Sima Xiaowei of the Han army, they were numerous in number and had uneven quality.
Everyone in this department is a vulture shooter!
But the Guduhou in the miscellaneous tribe probably doesn't even have a horse, so he can only ride a sheep to make up the numbers.
The Xubu clan is one of the three strongest clans in the Huns besides the royal family.
The cost is naturally very luxurious.
If Xubu was in charge, he had a total of seven Guduhous under his command, and more than thirty large and small Qujun commanders, divided into left and right captains, with a total force of more than 6,000 cavalry. When placed on the grassland, it was enough to overwhelm an entire place.
Suppress dissatisfaction!
But now, these nobles, who had just been excited because the Han Dynasty had voluntarily abandoned the periphery of Juyang, were even more arrogant and arrogant.
Although so far, the Huns have never taken any great advantage on the battlefield.
The exchange ratio of soldiers between Han and Hungary even reached an astonishing one to three!
On average, if one Han soldier fell, three Xiongnu soldiers would fall!
But being able to drive straight into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty and recreate the glory of their fathers and ancestors made their adrenaline surge, and their bodies were filled with uncontrollable national pride, almost making Xubu Danghu think that he had returned to the time of his old Shanyu.
of the Huns.
pity……
This is destined to be just a flashback, or even a false flashback.
Xubu Danghu moved his lips, but could not speak.
Because he didn't know how to explain his thoughts to these nobles and tell them that he felt that he was surrounded by the Han Dynasty? So he wanted to run?
I'm afraid I will die miserably...
