I say I want to go home first, but it’s impossible to go straight home.
As mentioned before, there is a vast desert dozens of miles to the west of Baitu. In recent years, Bingzhou has experienced successive droughts, and even the desert has become increasingly invaded. Even the end of the Wan River has become a sandbar. If you want to enter Shuofang directly, you can easily
You have to cross the desert, which is undoubtedly not advisable for Danghu who is leading an army for the first time.
After all, today’s army is a mixed bag, with everyone included. Although it is an army of slaves, there are actually women and children, the elderly and the weak, as well as some Helian tribe members who are trapped by slaves. There are too many people fishing in troubled waters. And
Not everyone has a horse, so the team cannot move quickly. Once the Chanyu sends knights on Pegasus, the team will probably disperse in a hurry.
Fortunately, there were many old soldiers in the team, as well as some noble officials and nobles who were originally from the Xiongnu tribe, and they all knew what to do at this time. The household selected 6,000 men from the 20,000 people, and each man was equipped with a horse.
Three hundred strong men were selected and distributed armor to everyone, ensuring the minimum fighting strength of the team.
It was also the first time for Todo to put on such neat armor, and he felt quite uncomfortable. It was not because he felt tired, but because he was too tall, and the armor on his legs exposed his ankles. When the spring breeze blew over, he felt that his ankles
Wang Xiao saw that he was uncomfortable and said with a smile: "It's okay. If you roll on the battlefield a few more times, you will have everything. When I took this knife away, I almost got my stomach opened!"
He proudly raised the three-foot knife in his hand. The back of the knife was thick, but the blade was as thin as a cicada. It was obviously a rare and good knife.
The host also laughed, and he held the knife he had captured tightly, looking majestic on his horse. In this way, twenty thousand people set out on their way home with nervousness, joy, and hope.
Danghu decided to go north first. One hundred and twenty miles north, the three counties of Guangyan, Zhenlin, and Pingding stood here, guarding the south side of Meiji like an earthworm strung on a line. The three counties were jointly located in the southern suburbs.
There is a market, and this is the largest market for Xiongnu people except Baitu and Meiji Wangting. This is the first destination for Danghu.
Twenty thousand people is a lot. Even if they are 20,000 ants, people will take a detour after seeing them, let alone 20,000 living people. But in front of the nearly 400,000 people under Shanyu's command, these numbers are not worth mentioning.
Hu's biggest advantage now is time. He wants to expand his team as much as possible before the first wave of Shanyu's pursuers arrives.
The Three Counties Collection was the target that must be conquered. After making this clear, he let several Lao Qiequ from the He Lai tribe take charge of the overall situation, and he led the capable knights to leave the team and rush ahead.
Thousands of knights were running rapidly in the hinterland of the Xiongnu. The smoke and dust were vast. Along the road were green grass temples and exposed stone ridges. When I looked at the clear sky, there was not even a cloud, and the sun shone on the tall mountains on both sides.
Gang, the dry and cool north wind did not carry a grain of sand, and the mood of the household was also clear. What he wanted was to create a new sky in this kind of world.
After riding the horse for two hours, there were gradually traces of people on the roadside. Some herdsmen looked at them galloping past, their faces full of suspicion. After riding forward for a while, they saw a gurgling stream flowing in front of them.
After passing a village, Gao Zhun suggested to him: "Let the horses rest here for a while, and we will inquire about the situation before going forward."
The army had to stop at this point. Because they had no flag at the door, and the people in the village didn't know where this force came from, but in front of thousands of people and steel swords, they still pushed out a few strong men to speak.
Hu looked at them, and they also looked at Danghu. Danghu smiled and said: "Don't look at it, I am just a cripple, and I am also the leader of thieves who just came out of Baitu City. Have you heard about the chaos there?" p>
These men were all in disbelief. They looked at each other for a few times, and one of them timidly replied: "Tell the king, we did hear that there was trouble in Baitu City. We only said that the slaves rebelled and killed many wealthy people. Shan Yuzheng
They mobilized troops from all over to Meiji, saying that they would suppress it soon. Is the king the king of the household?"
When Danghu made eye contact with his friends, they were all very surprised. What this man meant was that the troops from the three counties had also been mobilized, so it is conceivable that the defense of the three counties was empty now. Danghu said to these men
: "I am He Naidanghu. I may be a few years younger than you, brother. How can I dare to say that I am the king of the household? But the brothers in Baitu support me, so I dare to hold this position. We are going to attack the three counties now. You
Do you want to come with me?"
How could those people speak? But when they saw Danghu's strong and powerful troops behind him, they couldn't help but sway in their hearts. Danghu smiled, took out a few knives and handed them to them, and said to them in a radical tone: "No one is a natural born
If we are not afraid of death, how can we be willing to rebel! Were you not forced by the chanyu? Didn't you receive heavy taxes last year? Last year was such a difficult year. If you don't do ordinary things, how can you survive this year? "<
/p>
These few words made several people's blood boil. The tallest and strongest man among them took the knife and said loudly: "Thanks to your Majesty for your respect, what your Majesty said certainly makes sense! It's not just that we in Shanyin have a hard time during the Spring Festival? It's just that we live here.
The Chanyu people in Meiji are not having a good time either! None of the tribesmen are blind or deaf, and they complain every day. We don’t know how the gods could have such a son. We don’t have the guts to start a rebellion ourselves, but now that the king is here, how can we?
Back down?"
This man's name was Bisi, and he volunteered to be a guide for the army. This place is actually very close to the three counties. Bisi said that it was only thirty miles away, but Humphrey moved his army too quickly, and the remaining
The guards had no troops, so they all stayed in the city. Danghu's attack came faster, and Bingzhou's mountainous terrain was now his best cover. They turned out of a narrow valley, and suddenly their eyes opened up.
.
Danghu was riding a horse at the front. He didn't care about the crowds running along the way and quickly observed the scene in front of the valley. This is the market jointly managed by the three counties. The market is a valley road six feet wide and two miles long. In front of the valley road
They were hundreds of soldiers who had hurriedly formed a formation after hearing the sound of horse hooves. It was obvious at a glance that they looked panicked. It was obvious that the princes of the three counties were unprepared for his attack.
It is enough to understand this. Danghu does not know how to signal, he will only charge forward, using his figure and roar as the most conspicuous charge command! Seeing Danghu flying out like a bow and arrow, no matter how many words he says, it will change.
The knights behind him also shouted loudly, like a torrent sweeping forward from the mouth of the valley.
The line of hundreds of guards could only hold on for a few moments. When the leader of the team saw the slightest sign of instability in the line, he held his breath and retreated on horseback. The soldiers under his command fought hard for a while, and were wondering what happened behind them.
No one gave the order. When I turned around, I found that the leader had fled. He was immediately stunned. He stepped out of the way and threw down his sword. Without even looking at them, Todo continued on his horse, stepping on the weapon with his hoofs.
There is a tinkling sound, which is like a sweet rain at this time.
When I saw people dressed in brocade and silk fabrics, they were constantly fleeing to the north. They were fighting for each other in the far north, and they were constantly pushing and shoving. As a result, the entrance was blocked by crowds, and only most of the slaves stood there blankly.
Without any hesitation, he jerked the reins. The black colt had only followed him for less than four days, but it seemed to understand his thoughts. It neighed, raised its front hooves, and stepped hard towards the crowd in front of him. The horse's hoofs stepped on it.
The two men let out shrill screams as if they were fighting each other, and then they collapsed to the ground as if they had no bones.
The fleeing crowd in front were all frightened, and there were many people who knelt down and begged for mercy, but Todo turned a blind eye and just used his horse hooves to force the crowd to run forward as if driving a herd of sheep. The escaping Todo lay in the crowd and wanted to kill him with a knife.
As soon as he stood up, Wang Xiao, who was chasing him, pierced his palm with an arrow. The pain made him cover his palm and moan. The pain didn't last long, and he was trampled into a puddle of minced meat by the horse's hoof.
Panic spread among the crowd, and then turned into irrational running for their lives and pushing and shoving. When the crowd was expelled from the door, they looked like waves, one wave hitting another, the people in front fell, and the people behind
He squeezed up, but was immediately drowned by the crowd further back. The screams in front were like a glass of thick liquor, poured down on Danghu from the head, reborn him, turning into a knife-like pleasure in his chest, and engulfed his whole body.
All the air conditioning was forced out.
Gao Zhun rode a horse and rode the corpse to the owner, and said worriedly: "Brother He Nai, have you gone too far? I think Shan Yu is petty to begin with, and if he continues to do this, I think he is going to be at odds with you.
, I hate you to the core!”
Danghu shot an arrow at a young man in mink clothes who was crying in the crowd. Seeing him fall to the ground without saying a word, he smiled and said: "Brother Gao, it's not that he wants to be at odds with me, it's that I am at odds with him! Don't worry.
, although I don’t understand the military formation, I also know the principle of driving fish away from the Yuan. These people are rich and wealthy, and they have many people in the city to take care of them. Now we only need to drive them into the city, and the guards in the city will not dare to close the door. I
We can defeat three cities in a row!"
Having said this, Danghu smiled proudly, and Gao Zhun saw that he had the confidence in his heart, so he stopped talking. Unexpectedly, Danghu continued: "What's more, we are in a hurry to do things, and everyone is in a hurry to be together. It's just a temporary fix.
At the same time, I think if there is even the slightest words, they will scatter and leave. Only by doing things to the best of their ability can they get rid of their other thoughts. Follow me and follow this road to death!"
After he finished speaking, he ordered the knights who followed him to liberate the sluggish slaves on the side. If they had weapons, they would distribute them. If they didn't have weapons, they would pick up stone sticks and follow the knights. Many people found their relatives and friends here, but they
There was no time for greetings and emotions. The rebels had already become red-eyed. Most of them just roared and asked: "Do you want to do it?"
Go in the wave.
This wave completely submerged the three counties, and the guards in the three counties did not have a commander with enough authority. They simply went their own ways according to their own abilities. All those who could escape escaped completely, and the three counties followed the trend.<
/p>
After all three county towns were captured, Bisi, as a guide, suggested to Danghu: "The king has defeated four cities in ten days and shocked the country. However, there are no flags at the top of the city. This is being looked down upon." Danghu.
After thinking for a moment, he asked the Orihu in the city to sew a set of white wolf fertile wild flags, with a white background and red edges, and the four legs of the white wolf were as crimson as blood.
He planted the flag at the top of the city and announced to several captured guardsmen that they were going to lead troops to attack Meiji directly, and then let them go. The next day, Danghu led his troops to set off again, leaving behind
The flag at the top of the city turned around and headed west.
