Chapter 73 Tracking for thousands of miles
Chapter 73: A Thousand Miles Tracking
Since I left the imperial camp, Li Yan and Liao Li began to attack Cao Wei as I told me. After analysis by the three of us, we believed that if the enemy thought that our entire army came, in order to make me defeat, we would show weakness and have strengthened our ambitions and would have caused some defeats in the early stage. Since the enemy misjudged, if we did not take this advantage, it would be impossible for us to rise up and advance eastward. We felt that before capturing Luoxian, Wucheng, Jiling and Shaling counties, the enemy would not fight back. If they wanted to attack me, they would at least retreat to the Great Wall or even retreat to Yanmen.
And our army will continue to push to the Great Wall.
At this time, I received the battle report from Huhemao. After receiving this battle report, I suddenly understood why the Southern Xiongnu, among the Hu tribe who had been suppressed after the demise of the Han Dynasty, was the Southern Xiongnu who took the lead in destroying the Western Jin Dynasty and building an empire. It turned out that there were experts among the Southern Xiongnu.
Time has returned to more than ten days ago.
The sky is about to be bright but not bright, and the stars shine in the eastern sky. After the black storm, thick layers of clouds move in the distant horizon, like groups of wild bison. On the crescent green state, the Xianbei people who were disturbed by the roar of the black storm fell asleep in the middle of the night. Snoring sounds came from the various camps. Horses grazed on the oasis, eating grass leisurely.
Suddenly, several horses raised their ears and looked up vigilantly.
On the desert in the south, a thousand war horses were walking in the night, silently, quietly without any murderous aura - until they came to the oasis.
Li Mao stared at the camp tent in front of him for a long time. Suddenly, he raised his gun and shouted loudly: "Kill!" On both sides of him, an iron tide rushed out and rushed towards the tent in the night. They shouted loudly, like a ghost appeared in the world. Li Mao's tribe had already completely transformed into a completely Hu, a completely troop with the discipline, equipment, and the wildness of the Huns. This cavalry was too fast! It was hard for the Han people in the pass to imagine such a charge, the murderous aura and power brought by this speed! The uncovered grass field became the best place for cavalry to charge. They rushed forward, shot out bows and arrows, swung scimitars, and slashed iron hooves, and blood rushing.
The sudden attack made the Xianbei people panic, and they ran out before they could get dressed. Some bravely faced Li Mao's iron cavalry and were trampled to the ground in the blink of an eye; some turned around and fled, but found that the war horses were driven away; some hit like headless flies, making crazy screams. The archers had formed a circle of encirclements, and the soldiers who escaped from the range of swords and guns were soon penetrated by sharp arrows. Rows of archers alternated to complete the cruelest work. This was the way of fighting in the desert. The raid was completed. Even if the number of people was several times different, there would be no suspense in the battle.
Just like a vulture landing, the Xianbei people who were suddenly hit were just a piece of meat at their mouth.
In less than an hour, there was no Xianbei man standing on the Crescent Oasis. Li Mao stood before half of the Xianbei commander's tent, and under his feet were the bound Bu Dugen and Putou who had surrendered and rebelled.
Bu Dugen was completely shocked. He had failed, but he had never been as miserable as today. How could there be such a terrible army in this desert? How did they avoid the terrible black storm yesterday, and the divine weapons appeared in front of them like sky? How could they be so cruel and violent, and they refused to let go of surrender? How could a unit with only one thousand people kill all his five thousand men in just one hour? It was enough for him to advance north all the way north.
It was almost time. He originally planned to bring the Han army behind him into the desert, and they were thirsty and trap them to death, but before he entered the hinterland of the desert, he had only walked for more than 800 miles and was caught up and killed. Oh my God, are these people in front of him really Han army? Putou regretted it even more. He had surrendered to Ji Han and avoided this disaster, but he was greedy for a moment and thought that the old master was strong and Ji Han would be defeated. But he lost all his people overnight.
Li Mao ignored the thoughts of these two people. When he found that Guan Feng was not in this camp and he had already lost, his heart was filled with pain.
"Where is Princess Jieyou?" Li Mao's voice was still calm.
Bu Dugen raised his head and said, "I'll tell you if I let it go."
The black-clad soldier waved his scimitar, and a cold light flashed. He had cut off the head of a personal guard next to Budugen, and blood spurted Budugen all over. Then he put the bloody scimitar on Budugen's neck: "You are not qualified to discuss the conditions with my lord!"
Bu Dugen said in surprise: "You...you dare...do you know who I am?"
Li Mao asked calmly again: "Where is Princess Jieyou?"
Bu Dugen said: "I am the descendant of the Xianbei king of the western region, and a descendant of Tan Shihuai. How can you threaten me? Let me go quickly, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, the black-clad man's knife was embedded in Budugen's neck, and blood flowed down with the blade.
Bu Dugen said in panic: "I said, I said. Guan Feng was taken away by Sima Wang. I can take you there."
Li Mao looked east and said calmly: "I know the way. I'll kill them all, and it will be easier to walk with people." After saying that, he didn't look back and drove his horse to the east and slowly left.
Everyone shouted loudly and spared their lives. Bu Dugen shouted: "I am the Xianbei in the West. I will remove me from Jihan. You will receive more rewards than saving Princess Jieyou! I am the Xianbei in the West and the descendant of Tan Shihuai. I know where the treasure of the Xianbei is. If I release me, I can take you to find it! You bastards! Is it more precious to kill people than to get treasures!"
The waving steel knives and rolling heads gave the most clear answers.
Putou sighed long, "I regret it so much! I could have avoided this unforgettable disaster." After he finished speaking, the head had already landed on the ground and rolled in front of Bu Dugen.
Bu Dugen looked at Putou's eyes that were dying with eyes closed and trembled. Could it be that the western Xianbei that was thrilling in the desert was destroyed like this? He shouted again: "Let me go, I will give you the treasure of Xianbei!"
The black-clad armored man waved his steel knife and cut off Bu Dugen's head. He sneered: "Go to the underworld to take care of your treasure! Even your head is difficult."
The black-clad soldier came behind Li Mao: "Lord, all the Xianbei people were killed, and more than 300 Han people were found in the tent, they should be the princess's subordinates."
Li Mao nodded silently and said, "Leave a hundred people to clean the battlefield, and take their heads to repay Shuofang City, send a letter to His Majesty to inform him of this matter. The rest of the people brought Xianbei war horses and set off immediately to pursue Sima Wang and Yan Huan. They left for a few days, and we will recover this period of time."
"Feng'er, since you are my fiancée, I will save you back from heaven and earth!"
Two days later, Li Mao chased to Manyi Valley. The flags were waving in front, and the sun was covered with sunlight, blocking the way forward.
"Lord, ahead are the men of Kebineng's son-in-law Yu Zhuhu."
"Yu Zhuge?" Li Mao rushed forward with a urge.
"I'm hunting, and irrelevant people avoid it!" From a distance, I heard Yu Zhuo's laughter unrestrainedly. Yu Zhuo was a big man, tall and strong, like a giant bear. He was famous in the northern border and had the courage to be unstoppable.
Li Mao said loudly: "Li Mao borrows the road!"
Yu Zhuzu said, "No one can lend it. Let the leopard around me be let go, who will compensate me?"
Li Mao rode his horse up and saw Yu Zhuge surrounded seven or eight golden leopards in the middle of the road. Although the leopard was surrounded, it was still a trapped beast, with teeth and claws, and extremely fierce. Li Mao shouted, "I'll pay for it!" He bent his bow and arrow, and the sound of sharp roars sounded. In the blink of an eye, the five leopards fell dead on the road.
Yu Zhuge said angrily: "Do you dare to kill my leopard?"
Li Mao sneered: "You blocked me from saving my mother leopard, and I will kill your leopard!"
Yu Zhuzu narrowed his small eyes into a line: "Can I think you are provoking me? I want to kill all of you, one thousand people, and use your blood to wash away the insults I have suffered!"
Li Mao said: "Very good. If you feel unsatisfied with Lu Longsai's battle three years ago, don't worry about fighting again!"
Yu Zhuzu's small eyes suddenly widened, his legs were inadvertently exerting force, and he took a few steps back while sitting down the war horse: "It's you?! Stop the North Korean Dragon!"
Li Mao nodded: "Yes, Han Long is one of my incarnations. If you give way, I owe you a favor and have two peaces. If you want to not dare to fall asleep from now on, come and try my sword."
Yu Zhuze laughed: "Why did the prince say this? It's so vivid. In fact, I am joking with the prince. Knowing that the prince has passed this time, I think of our ally with Ji Han, I came to point out the direction. I have heard of the reputation of the King of the Iron Cavalry of the Huns, but I didn't expect it to be an old friend. Those of Cao Wei went south from this road two days ago. Why, there is a princess among them? What a pity, I came too late, otherwise I would have stopped him."
Li Mao didn't even point it out and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Li Mao will be punished in the future. Today's matter is urgent, please let the general go."
Yu Zhuze waved and said, "Come, give way to the Iron Cavalry King!" The Xianbei people were divided into two rows. Li Mao shouted, and the whole army passed through the Xianbei people array like the wind. Li Mao bowed to Yu Zhuze again and left.
A young Xianbei coach forward and said to Yu Zhuhu: "Master, if you don't join the siege, they will really escape."
Yu Zhuge seemed surprised: "Encircling? What kind of encircling? They fought hard with Cao Wei, aren't they just trying to match our minds?"
"But, Cao Wei gave him a lot of money to buy a road?"
"The pig brain, no matter how much money it costs, it must be a life-saving flower. The King of the Huns was originally only sung among the Huns, but he never heard of any achievements. Unexpectedly, it was him who met him in the battle three years ago..."
"In that battle, the Grand Marshal must have won." Xiao Shuai said with a compliment.
Yu Zhuocai ignored him: "Hehe, no wonder a thousand people dared to surround the desert and destroy Bu Dugen. It turned out to be the descendant of the Han people who fought against the 100,000 troops of the Xiongnu Shanyu with 5,000 infantrymen. It was terrible. Although I was not afraid of him, the interests of our Xianbei people are the most important. Although the Han people are strong, they will kill themselves and they will kill them all, so we don't have to do anything."
Xiaoshuai said in admiration: "The Grand Marshal is wise."
At this time, a horse came as if flying.
"Master, under the Hei Iron Order, please do not let the Wei people go."
"What?" Yu Zhuhu was stunned.
"Emperor Ji Han has brought an army of 150,000 to the northern border and sent an envoy to meet Lord Kebineng. Lord Ji Han thought we were all ally with Ji Han, so he issued a black iron flag to capture the people of Wei and rescue Princess Jieyou of Ji Han."
"Damn it, how about two days earlier? Send Xinying to inform Xiaoshuai Bian Rang in the future and ask him to block the Wei people. I will immediately lead troops to chase after him."
Sima Wang and Yan Huan rode on horseback, cautious along the way. Sima Wang's already thin face looked even more skinny at this time, with a morbid green in between. The attack on Shuofang was the clever plan of the Grand Governor Sima Yi, but it was not easy on the way. Bu Dugen was determined to take revenge, but fortunately, his leader Pu Tou, who surrendered to Ji Han, was unable to calm down. He traveled a long distance and attacked the enemy thousands of miles away. He was the main army. Without his cooperation, there would be no way to fight this battle. Sima Wang was so angry that he almost killed him several times, ended his plan, and returned the same way. However, because he wanted to pass the central Xianbei area controlled by the central Xianbei, the central Xianbei who was bribed was insatiable, and a group of wolves followed him like a group of wolves.
Later, there was a thousand-mile desert, where drought and storm almost killed. After finally leaving the desert, he used a trick to capture Guan Feng, feeling that he was foolproof, but he was ambushed a total of them and suffered heavy casualties, especially a fire in the forage farm, with more than 1,000 people and two thousand horses buried in the sea of fire. After capturing Xi'anyang, he did not expect that Ji Han was so crazy that he poisoned all the wells, including Sima Wang, and more than 600 people, including Sima Wang, were poisoned. Fortunately, Sima Wang's medical officer rescued and saved his life, but half of the soldiers remained in Xi'anyang. Thinking of all these days, Sima Wang was a little scared. It seemed easy to go deep behind the enemy on the surface, but as long as he was not careful, the entire army would be wiped out and there would be no place to die.
Fortunately, now, as long as you pass the Qingshui River in front, you will enter the Cao Wei controlled area. However, suddenly, countless flags rolled over from the horizon.
"Xianbei people!"
"Prepare to meet the enemy, they are Xianbei people!"
Sima Wang looked ahead nervously and looked at the car beside him. In the car was Ji Han's first beauty, Princess Jieyou Guan Feng. At that time, Bu Dugen commanded five times that of Ji Han's troops and horses, but Yan Huan personally took the opportunity to capture her. After being captured, Sima Wang tied her with a rope of cow tendon, but she actually ground the cow tendons on the hard seam of the car. Although the wood thorns on her hand were deeply pricked, she didn't make a sound. Then she took the marching to kill the guards of the car and rob the horse and escaped. It took a lot of effort to capture her back. Helplessly, she had to use the drug to faint and let her sleep all day long.
"When the enemy is approaching, I will shoot the leader with an arrow, and you will lead the person over." Yan Huan said.
"Looking at the situation, it's better not to do it or not. These people need money."
The translator in front shouted: "We are merchants from the Great Wei Dynasty, and we have contacted your master. Please let it go."
But the Xianbei people across the street shouted: "Put down your weapons and spare you! Let Princess Jieyou come over!"
Sima Wang said, "Oh no! They actually know their background and can't buy it with money."
Yan Huan went forward and opened his bow eighty steps away from the enemy. The arrow was too fast. Before the Xianbei Xiaoshuai on the opposite side had time to retrieve the weapon, an arrow had already appeared on his throat. He heard the sound of his blood blew like the wind, and before he could say anything, he turned over and fell to the ground.
The Xianbei people were in chaos.
