Lin Qing couldn't beat her, so he could only let Zhao Zimu ride a fast horse and follow him out of the city, but he couldn't let her be in such danger alone, with five or six closely behind her. The burly and burly sweats, these people are January, May, June, July, August, and 9th. ,
Lin Qing can only rest assured if they can protect Zhao Zimu's side with all their strength, otherwise he will never let her follow. Lin Qing even wants to give Zhao Zimu all the 5,000 troops he brought from the capital. Bring it, but this is impossible, Zhao Zimu will not agree.
So there were a few figures in brown brocade next to a group of soldiers in light yellow soap clothes, and everyone knew the clothes on them, and they all knew that they were 9,000-year-old people, so they didn't care, a group of people In this way, he went in the direction of Licheng.
The first team led by Situ Yuanxiao was much faster than Chen Jing, and had already traveled halfway to Licheng. Situ Yuanxiao didn't know much about the Huns, so he only spread the waiters ten miles ahead, but such a distance was It is far from being able to cope with the speed of the Huns coming and going like the wind.
When the group was walking halfway, something suddenly happened, and when the waiter noticed it and it was too late to notify, the Huns suddenly appeared in front of Situ Yuanxiao with the cavalry, using the sharpness of the cavalry to charge only one charge. He threw Situ Yuanxiao's former army into chaos, waving his sharp machete like a group of winged mantises, and plunged into the former army's team, slashing and killing, all of a sudden. They took the lives of thousands of soldiers.
It was so easy to cause such a large number of casualties, naturally not because the soldiers of Daliang did not resist, but because the combat power was really inferior to these menacing prairie men on horseback.
What are the advantages of the Huns' cavalry? It is speed and momentum. With the rapid impact and ferocious momentum of their warhorses, they will give the enemy a fierce blow first, gain a great advantage at the beginning, and weaken the enemy's morale to the greatest extent. Under the leadership of Situ Yuanxiao, the only cavalry in the team were protected on the two wings of the formation. Under the situation that the Huns were violently attacked and the Daliang cavalry could not face them immediately, the men and horses led by Situ Yuanxiao would be such a heavy loss.
After being flustered for a while, Situ Yuanxiao finally reorganized the chaotic team, and reinvigorated his morale to prepare for war against the Huns. However, unexpectedly, the Huns did not intend to confront the soldiers of Daliang at all, and succeeded. After that, they immediately retreated without fighting, leaving behind only the countless bodies of the soldiers of the Great Liang.
Situ Yuanxiao was trembling with anger. The Huns did not give him time to form a battle at all, and he had few cavalry in his team, and his combat power was simply incomparable to those of the Huns who were accustomed to roaming across the prairie. , let him how to fight
And after such a delay, Chen Jing's team caught up. Looking at the corpses of Daliang soldiers in the ground, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. After learning that Situ Yuanxiao was attacked by the Huns just now, the two were speechless. , and immediately sent a fast horse to pass the news here to Chen Jin.
Because they don't know if the Huns will make another sneak attack like this, no one dares to act without authorization.
As soon as more than 20,000 people met, they were cut down by the Huns by 2,000 or 3,000. If they continued like this, their forces would be exhausted within a few times. However, their future war with the Huns would be protracted. How will their strategy work after they go down.
Looking at the blood and corpses all over the ground, the two fell silent, and in the end they regrouped and continued to move forward.
This time, in order to prepare for a mistake like the first time, Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing put the cavalry in the team before the team, but it didn't take long, with Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing waiting in full force, the 40,000 The large army was attacked by the Huns again.
But this time, the difference from the last time was that the Hun appeared in the back of the Daliang soldiers again, and bit off another bite of the team like a hound. Although Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing reacted in a timely manner, Because of the speed problem, more than 1,000 people were lost, and morale was hit again. This time, even the advantage brought by Chen Jing's reinforcements was gone. Everyone panicked, not knowing where the Huns would come out and bite them. One bite.
In the eyes of many soldiers, these Huns are no longer human, but wolves. Only wolves can be so cruel and cunning, but they have become the prey in the eyes of those wolves, which makes them not afraid.
Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing looked at each other and could not help but see the frustration and indignation in each other's eyes.
Zhao Zimu also saw the power of the Huns, and finally understood a little why the war between Daliang and the Huns for so many years was so difficult. How to fight
It's no wonder that Daliang and the Huns have been fighting for so many years. They have been mainly defending. There are many cities in Daliang, and the soldiers are also good at defending the city. Therefore, the Xiongnu will choose the autumn and winter when they go south every year. what.
Now that two cities have been lost for no reason, Zhao Zimu thinks that it should be easy to get them back. The Huns have a small population. Even if the city has been laid down, how can he defend it
The Xiongnu cavalry consisted of several hundred small ones and several thousand large ones. If they wanted to defend the cities they captured, unless they abandoned the prairie and moved their royal court over, they would definitely be insufficient without a few decades of recuperation. So many people guarded the city for them, so Zhao Zimu guessed that the Huns had no intention of defending Licheng and Shacheng.
But this time Emperor Jing Hui was really panicked, and his mind was not clear when he was old. If General Pingxi was such a friendly cavalry from the Huns many years ago, he should have gone to Liangjing to show off his power.
If Zhao Zimu guessed right, Mu Ke's original intention was to use Daliang to prove himself and make the grassland tribes submit to his rule, but after capturing two cities and looting both cities, his The purpose is probably not just to prove himself.
The stolen property of the two cities has greatly stimulated Mu Ke's greed. In the case of gaining power, why should he try to use these two cities as a stronghold for him to sack other cities again
I am afraid that after Mu Ke has scooped up a pot full of pots, he will retreat in order to prevent dumplings being made by the guards in Daliangbian Town and the city, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses sent by Emperor Jing Hui to the northwest are probably just side dishes. .
As for Chen Jin's arrangement of Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing to lead the troops this time, most of the reason is probably to train these two people and train new generals, and he may guess that the Huns' withdrawal from Licheng is just a trap, the purpose is just to file a Raise the spirit of the imperial court, so that they can have enough time to loot more towns to get more benefits for them to bring back to the prairie.
If they don't want to pay too much loss before Chen Jin makes dumplings for them, they will withdraw their troops, otherwise it will not benefit both parties.
Chen Jin is getting old, but the army of the grassland royal court has developed faster and faster in recent years. In order to prevent the city of Daliang from really becoming a place for the Huns to herd horses, there must be young generals in Daliang who can fight against them. Protect this land in the northwest frontier.
Sure enough, not long after, when the Xiongnu wanted to attack again, General Pingxi dispatched his troops to intercept them halfway, forcing the Xiongnu to return to Licheng again.
The group did not win the battle, did not take back Licheng, but returned in dismay after losing thousands of people. Sure enough, the leader of Pingxi didn't say anything, but left them alone when they left, thinking that he wanted to mention them.
Zhao Zimu followed Lin Qing and left. After returning home, Lin Qing said, "What do you think of today's events?"
Listening to Lin Qing's still cold tone, Zhao Zimu shook his head, hugged him from behind and said nothing, knowing that he didn't want to let himself go to dangerous places, so some words were difficult for her to say.
After a long time, Zhao Zimu said softly, "I want to be with them."
The breathing of the person in front of him suddenly increased, and he turned around. There were violent fluctuations in his dark eyes, and he stared at him tightly and said, "What did you say? Say it again!"
Zhao Zimu hesitated for a while and then said softly, "I want to join the Northwest Frontier Army to fight against the Huns."
"you!"
Zhao Zimu grabbed his hand and stopped him from talking. After hugging him tightly, he felt his breath stabilized before saying, "I know what you're worried about, but..."
"But what?" Lin Qing said dryly.
He was always in a passive state with her, he could never guess her thoughts, and for some reason he always felt hesitant when he looked at her since he came to the northwest, she seemed to be hiding something from him, But he couldn't guess.
"But I want to stay here." Zhao Zimu said with difficulty.
boom!
Something shattered, and the Yueyi people who were hiding in the dark to protect them almost rushed in, but when they heard another sound coming from the room, they stopped the urge to rush in and glanced at each other. Then, hesitantly, he returned to his place.
"What do you mean?" Lin Qing hissed with the corners of his red eyes wide open, and the light from his eyes became icy cold. If Zhao Zimu's answer was something he didn't want, he would immediately ask the police to investigate. The people of the government imprisoned her and made her unable to leave even one step.
He had even thought about how to imprison her and where she would be imprisoned, and how to force her to submit. If it really didn't work, he would give her medicine, so that she would not be able to take a step in her life and could only stay by his side.
Not afraid that she resents him, because she should have known that he is this kind of person long ago, and since she chose him, she has no room for regret.
what she should know...
