Chapter 1497: The 187th Battle of Han Banner World Part 2
Unlike Yao Laogen, who had a rich military career, most of the Qin army farmers who were recruited had no battlefield experience. Although in the past two years, the Qin State also imitated the Han Dynasty in conducting some basic military training in the countryside, but due to Without the sufficient financial support of the Han Dynasty, the people of Qin were not as worry-free about their livelihood as the people of the Han Dynasty. These military trainings were often just a formality and had no actual effect.
When Yao Laogen realized that the cavalry group was coming, many people who were resting looked up at the sky. They thought it was thunder. But it's spring now. Yao Laogen had already stood up, dragged his youngest son, and kicked his eldest son and his second son awake, who was still snoring. "Run quickly, cavalry, the enemy's cavalry."
Yao Laogen could tell that this was the enemy's cavalry because of the tremors on the ground and the faint sound of thunder. There were at least five to six thousand cavalry, and there would never be such a Qin cavalry around Yunzhong County. The national cavalry, if there were any, would have gone to Xianyang long ago. If they appear here at this time, they can only belong to the enemy, the Han Empire.
While others were still wondering and watching, Yao Laogen dragged his youngest son and ran far away. The eldest and second son also dragged a spear each and chased closely behind them.
Although he still didn't understand why, everyone around Yao Laogen knew that he was a veteran and would never act without reason. When he ran away, the people around him also started running.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
The Qin army who escorted them could no longer care about them at this time. These Qin soldiers were different from the farmers they escorted. They were all soldiers with rich experience. When the ground shook and the muffled thunder came, they immediately reacted. What's going on? The officer leading the team immediately gathered all the Qin soldiers. They swarmed around Ma Xueyin, the governor of Yunzhong County.
"Why did you come to me? Immediately organize the soldiers and form a square formation to resist the enemy cavalry." Ma Xueyin waved his arms. Fen looked at the officer angrily and roared. Although he is a civil servant. But we also know that without forming a formation, the infantry cannot compete with the cavalry.
The officer smiled bitterly, resisting the cavalry with an infantry square formation, which requires great courage and sacrifice, especially without the cover of long-range weapons, a cavalry company with a man and a horse weighing more than a thousand kilograms, attacking How powerful. People who have never faced it will never understand that kind of horror. This requires countless elite, battle-hardened soldiers, but in front of him, he only has these rabble who have just put down their hoes.
"Sir, look." He pointed to the surroundings. The peasant soldiers who had behaved before were now running away.
"Kill the leader and make a warning to others." Ma Xueyin roared, "Immediately, now."
The officer shook his head, what's the use of killing people? He looked up. He saw the black line appearing on the horizon, and then he saw the flying military flag,
His face changed slightly. "It is the Xiongnu independent cavalry division of the Han Dynasty."
The Han Dynasty had two independent cavalry divisions mainly composed of foreigners. One was the Huns independent cavalry division led by the female general Gu Li, with a wolf head as the military flag, and the other was the Donghu independent cavalry division commanded by Agu Huaien, with a tiger head. For the military flag. Seeing the wolf-head flag fluttering in the wind, the officer's expression changed drastically. This army became famous when it encircled and annihilated Qin General Li Xin. More than 40,000 Huns invaded when Li Xin invaded. Get back on the horse and fight until the end. There were only more than 5,000 people left after the war. In order to thank the Huns for their great sacrifices in protecting the prairie, Gao Yuan used these 5,000 men to form the Huns Independent Cavalry Division, which became a combat force directly under the Ministry of National Defense of the Han Dynasty.
Over the years, this army has fought in the north and south, becoming invincible. The reputation of the ghost-faced female general has spread far and wide across the land.
"Master Sheriff, let's go quickly!" The officer stopped talking nonsense and gave the order. Two soldiers rushed forward, lifted Ma Xueyin onto the horse, whipped the horse's buttocks, turned around and ran away.
Hundreds of cavalry surrounded Ma Xueyin and fled in embarrassment. At this time, more than 5,000 cavalrymen from the Huns' cavalry division rushed over like a surging wave.
They came from Sanchuan County.
The north and south of Qin State have been penetrated. Lu Chao gave an order and all the troops were concentrated towards Xianyang. The interior of Qin State was almost undefended. Two cavalry divisions led by Gu Li and Agu Huai'en served as the vanguard of the entire offensive force. The force penetrated deep into the hinterland of Qin without encountering any resistance at all.
"They are indeed peasants with no fighting ability." Looking at the countless Qin people fleeing ahead, Gu Li snorted. Two days ago, she received an order signed by Emperor Gao Yuan of the Han Dynasty to try to disperse these people who were ordered to gather in Xianyang. farmers.
It is to disperse, not to kill. Because on the order given to Gu Li, the word "disperse" was circled in red with a red pen. Gao Yuan knew Gu Li's hatred for the Qin people. All her family members, young and old, died at the hands of the Qin people. Gao Yuan was afraid of this. A female killer went on a killing spree in the Qin Kingdom.
"Berhutai, have you seen those Qin troops?" Gu Li pointed his horse whip in front. In the direction pointed by the whip, hundreds of Qin cavalry in armor were standing out among the ragged common people in a county. Conspicuously, "Catch them and kill them."
"Yes, Commander!" Berhutai ordered loudly.
"Don't kill indiscriminately, only kill those Qin soldiers wearing armor!" Gu Li continued.
"I understand, Commander!" Berhutai shook his horse's reins, "Third regiment, follow me."
Gu Li scanned the chaotic scene ahead, meaning nothing, "Surround them and drive them together."
The cavalrymen shouted, driving their horses in circles, squeezing the fleeing Qin people into the middle. In the process, any Qin people who dared to raise their spears or wave their swords at them , were all cut down to the ground unceremoniously.
Yao Laogen looked at the cavalry rushing back and forth, and he already understood the enemy's thoughts. The enemy wanted to drive them together. He hugged his youngest son, squatted on the ground, and blocked him with his body. At this time, Er had already thrown away the weapons in his hands. The two squatted down, holding hands, surrounding the father and the younger brother. The four of them squatted on the ground.
There were originally quite a few people fleeing with them, but at this moment, seeing their actions, more people felt blessed. They dropped their weapons one after another and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
With them as the center, more and more Qin people were driven here.
This is not a battle, but more like when the Huns were grazing on the grassland. Sometimes the herds were frightened, and they would run around the frightened livestock and gather them together.
Thousands of Qin people were quickly herded together, and on the periphery, hundreds of fallen corpses proved that this was not a game. If they were not handled properly, their bodies and heads would be separated.
Yao Laogen lowered his head, and the body of his little son in his arms was trembling slightly. Poor him, he had always been the doting object of his parents, brother and sister-in-law at home. He had seen such a scene before. Yao Laogen didn't know that he was about to What kind of fate will they face, especially when facing this army composed entirely of Huns? As a veteran soldier, he knew how deep the hatred between the Qin people and the Huns was. The Huns' royal court was destroyed in the hands of the Qin people. Leiying, who was still a prince at that time, led 20,000 cavalry on the grassland. They chased the Xiongnu royal court for several months and finally killed them all. General Wang Xiao even killed tens of thousands of Xiongnu prisoners who had run out of food and supplies at Huolan Pass in one breath.
If it weren't for these hatreds, when General Li Xin attacked the grassland, the Huns, who had already removed their armor, would not mount their war horses again. Tens of thousands of Huns blocked the progress of the Qin army, causing the Han people to Calmly mobilize the troops and defeat the Qin army on the grassland.
If Yao Laogen were to reveal the true identity of the ghost-faced general in front of him, I'm afraid he would be so frightened that his face turned pale.
Gu Li's eyes swept over the groups of Qin people squatting on the ground. She glanced past Yao Laogen and saw the young face still trembling in his arms. Then she looked at those people who were full of fear and fear. The rough, dark faces, and the endless killing intent in his heart suddenly dissipated endlessly.
Why bother! For no reason, these words came to Gu Li's mind. Along with the war horses, she left the prisoners far away.
A general rode his horse up to the prisoners and shouted: "Listen, you Qin bastards, you are in luck. Our Emperor of the Han Dynasty said, put down your weapons and go back to your homes." , you are farmers, not soldiers, and fighting is not your business. Go back to your hometown, pick up your hoes again, and never come out again. Restoring your fields is the best reward for the Han Emperor's forgiveness. Now, follow our command and stand up and leave one by one. Remember, you only have one chance. If we see you still heading towards Xianyang again, then these people outside will be your role models."
Yao Laogen almost couldn't believe his ears, just let them go back like this?
When he saw that the cavalry surrounding them opened an opening, and rows of Qin people walked out of that opening, and then ran desperately towards the way they came, and those Huns cavalry did not move at all, he really believed it all.
He gasped for air. He was almost out of breath as he relaxed after being so nervous. He held his little son's hand tightly and moved out step by step. After crossing the gap, he suddenly started running, crying loudly as he ran.
Being able to live, there is no need to go to Xianyang anymore, and the family can finally live together.
Gu Li heard the cries of the old and the young. She slowly took off the masks on her face, and suddenly felt that these Qin people were not so hateful.
The sound of horse hooves in the distance means that Beerhutai is back. Gu Li didn't bother to ask about the result of the battle. If such a group of stragglers couldn't take down Belhutai, then how could they have the dignity to serve as soldiers under her own men.
(I’m really angry. I can’t finish my original work, but they ask me to work part-time as a physical education researcher. Is this a way to treat people like animals? I’m dissatisfied and annoyed.) (To be continued.)
