The third way is to brave the heavy snow and continue to advance to the tribe of Yufro. This is a rather risky choice, and it is more dangerous than staying in place and continuing to camp.
Because the snow is too heavy, it’s very difficult to hike or ride a horse. The only suitable thing is to use skis. However, in this way, the tent and the beef and mutton that come from Chiulu will definitely not be able to carry. The guides I don’t know how to use skis, and of course I can’t go with them.
Ma Chao can no longer control that much. In his mind, the meritorious ** conquered everything. Everything is for meritorious deeds. As long as he can achieve this first merit, he is willing to take no matter how big the risk is.
However, Ma Chao hadn't completely dazzled his head. He counted the war preparations fried noodles that the soldiers carried with them, and then made an important decision to divide the army into two groups, and five thousand people accompanied him to Yuvro's. The tribe moved forward, and another ten thousand people returned to the tribe of Chiul,
With only five thousand people, I wanted to capture the tribe in Fro. It was indeed a bit whimsical, but Ma Chao had no other way, because they didn’t have much fried noodles. Using skis as a means of transportation, of course, allowed the soldiers to run fast on the snow. Yes, but there is also a weakness, that is, they can’t carry too much weight. In addition to the necessary weapons and equipment, the convenience food of fried noodles has become their best supply. Now, these 5,000 soldiers still have five days left. Regarding food, Ma Chao cannot guarantee that he can lead everyone to find the tribe of Uvro within five days, and it is not enough to find the tribe of Uvro alone. They must be captured in one fell swoop, otherwise, he and his soldiers will be exhausted because of their food. And starved to death on this snowy field,
Ma Chao weighed repeatedly and decided to concentrate the fried noodles of three people on one person. This can support 15 days. Of course, the number of people participating in the operation has been reduced to one-third. This is already a pretty safe way. As for whether it can be Defeating the Yufro tribe with more than 10,000 young and strong herders with 5,000 people is something that will be considered in the future. The first thing Ma Chao has to do is to find where the Yufro tribe is.
The guides were quite competent. They heard that Ma Chao had divided his troops and went to the tribe of Yuvro. After discussing it for a while, Ma Chao pointed to the general direction of the tribe of Yuvro. Ma Chao relied on the compass to calibrate it and set the direction. 20 degrees north of east,
Everything was prepared, Ma Chao gave the order to rest, and the soldiers who stayed behind to prepare to return to the Chiwule tribe knew that Ma Chao would face a very dangerous battle when he left, and they consciously gave up the only tent and let them approach. Soldiers on the expedition have the best opportunity to rest, and they themselves take up the task of escort without hesitation, ensuring that all five thousand soldiers can get a good night’s sleep.
At dawn, the soldiers on the expedition packed their bags and embarked on the journey. At this time, the good training of the Han army showed its effect. Although the main general has already left, the army of 10,000 people is still in the hands of a few captains. Under the command, he still set up camps, set out, and retreated in an orderly manner. Two days later, he smoothly returned to the resident of the Chiwule tribe.
Ma Chao took five thousand soldiers and supported skis. Under the guidance of the compass, he walked for two days. He did not see the tribe of Yuvro, and he did not even encounter a herder. In such bad weather, the herdsmen are naturally. They would stay in their camp. It is normal for Ma Chao and the others to not run into it. However, if they don’t run into the herdsman, Ma Chao has no way to ask for directions, and there is no way to correct his direction.
However, Ma Chao is not worried. Yu Fuluo is the Southern Huns. Shan Yu, his tribe is the largest of the Southern Huns, with more than 10,000 young and strong herders, accounting for almost one-tenth of the entire Southern Huns. For a large tribe, the scale of their camp must be more than twice that of Liu Bao’s tribe. It should be very conspicuous. Ma Chao has clairvoyance. Although the snow has reduced visibility, he believes that as long as the guides are pointing in the right direction, He should be able to spot the target,
What surprised Ma Chao was that he led the team for five days without encountering a tribe. This made Ma Chao, who had always been confident, hesitated. However, he did not turn his head back when he opened the bow. Since he has decided to choose this one. On the road, Ma Chao will not shrink, only move forward.
Fortunately, at this time the snow was getting smaller, Ma Chao quickly took out his clairvoyance and looked around, and finally discovered that there was a vaguely large tent in the east, which should be the camp of a certain tribe. Ma Chao was overjoyed, and his iron spear was facing the east. With one finger, the soldiers immediately dropped their heads and slid in the direction of his gun.
Walking through the snow, the speed of the snowboard is unparalleled. From Ma Chao seeing the camp in Qianli's eyes, to the army sliding to the front, it was only a cup of tea, getting closer and closer to the camp, Ma Chao made a gesture. All the soldiers fell down, their white cloaks were on their bodies, and they almost blended into the snow. People in the camp couldn't find them even if they looked over here.
Should we launch a surprise attack on this camp, Ma Chao suddenly became entangled. Liu Xin's order to them made it very clear that their first task was to protect the safety of the three tribes of Huchuquan, Chiwule and Gutuan. , The second is to try to deal with Liu Bao. If Yu Fu Luo came forward to prevent the Hun tribe from merging into the Han, he could also attack Fu Luo. At the same time, Liu Xin also reminded them that the internal division of the Huns is now serious, and some tribes follow Some tribes support Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao, and they must treat them differently. In fact, Liu Xin still doesn’t know that it is not only between the brothers Fu Luo and Hu Chuquan, but also between Fu Luo and Liu. Leopard, there are already conflicts between the father and son.
The scale of the tribe in front of us is not large. It seems that there will be no more than 500 young and strong herdsmen in it, but Ma Chao has no way to tell which side they belong to. In case they are a tribe that supports Huchuquan, then They can’t be attacked, but without attacking them, Ma Chao can’t find anyone to ask the direction and approximate distance of the camp of the Yufro tribe.
Ma Chao couldn’t help but think of Liu Xin’s words, "You will be out there, and you will not be affected by your fate." He couldn’t wait any longer. Regardless of whether he was an enemy or a friend, he should control these people first. With Ma Chao’s order, five Thousands of Han soldiers suddenly jumped from the snow and quickly slid towards the camp.
Now that the snow is getting smaller, many people in the camp have walked out of the tents and started to clean the snow in the camp. The people in the tribe are very aware that clearing the snow out of the camp in time will not only make it easier for the people in the camp to carry out various activities. This kind of activity, you can also build a few snow walls outside the camp to block the invasion of wind and snow,
The nomadic tribes on the grasslands are usually very vigilant, especially such a small tribe, they need to be very cautious to survive in the harsh environment until they slowly develop and grow. If they relax in their minds, even if they can escape natural disasters, It is also very likely to be swallowed by other tribes. Therefore, when the Han army led by Ma Chao was more than two arrows away from the camp, it was discovered by the people in the camp.
Of course Ma Chao can wait until night falls before approaching the camp to launch a surprise attack, just like he did when he attacked the Liu Bao tribe. However, Ma Chao did not do this. He has been wandering the snowy field for five days and he has no time to delay any longer. , He must determine the direction as soon as possible. Who can guarantee whether Yuvro has taken any action in the past five days? Maybe Yuvro has already braved the heavy snow and headed towards Hu Chuquan. In that way, his first contribution will be only I have given way to Zhao Yun,
The herdsmen in that tribe suddenly saw thousands of people rushing towards them like flying snowflakes. They were all stunned. No one could believe that someone could run so fast on the snow. And these people seem to have suddenly emerged from the ground, they didn’t notice any movement beforehand.
For people on the grassland, they are accustomed to using the vibrations caused by horseshoes to judge the number and distance of the enemy. However, although these people in front of them are walking like flying on the snow, they make no sound.
However, this kind of stupefaction is just a moment of effort. Soon someone turned and ran towards the tent. These people did not run away, but habitually took their own bows and arrows and led their own steeds.
Ma Chao has lived in Xiliang for a long time and is very familiar with the living habits of these nomads. As soon as he saw the reaction of the herdsmen, he knew what they wanted to do. He immediately pulled off the short-throwing gun on his back and threw it out. Ma Chao's strength was already great. , And the speed of the snowboard on the snow is even far faster than the speed of the horses galloping on the grassland. The short shot gun is very urgent, and it passes directly through a herdsman and directly inserted into a tent. Inside the tent, a Hun woman Hearing the flustered footsteps outside, I was about to go out to find out. I didn't watch out that the short shot gun came straight through, and was poking her chest. The huge inertia brought her body back all the way, and the whole tent was actually moved. Pulled to the ground,
The five thousand soldiers that Ma Chao brought around were all cavalry of the Sixth Army. Everyone was carrying five short-handed spears. This was their assassin. Even if they didn’t ride a horse, they all brought them around. See Ma Chao threw the first short-throwing gun, and other soldiers followed suit, pulling out the throwing guns on their backs and threw them out.
With the high speed brought by snowboards as the foundation, five thousand people shot short guns at once, and the power is amazing. The sound of "swish" is many times louder than that of bows and arrows. It is frightening to hear. It only takes a moment. This camp was filled with short shot guns. Many Huns had no time to escape and were directly nailed to the snow. The red blood was sprinkled on the white snow, blooming beautiful peach blossoms.
When Ma Chao and his soldiers threw short guns, they did not slow down their advance. The snowboards rolled up large swaths of snow and rushed directly to the edge of the camp. Some surviving Huns in the camp had already mounted their horses. Back, these people are male and female, old and young, but as long as they can pull the bow in their hands, they are qualified fighters. They don’t want to sit still, they have to resist.
