The biting sand wind blew, the tornado-like weather, and the dust made the people wrapped in thick clothes feel no warmth at all.
The sky was a little hazy, and the yellow sky could be seen in the distance, and the strong wind rolled up the gravel and hit everything in sight.
North of the Hetao.
At this time a massacre was taking place.
Seven to eight hundred Hun knights wielded whips and sharp weapons, massacring a group of people.
The Huns soldiers, some with loose hair, some with knotted hair, wearing Hu clothes, riding tall horses, were ferociously surrounding and hunting.
That's right, going north to hunt the nomadic Xiongnu people was a rare carnival in several months.
Not only can they get the salt, food, gorgeous clothes, accessories, and obedient slaves they need.
The people who were hunted by the Huns' cavalry were like refugees, with unkempt appearance. The team was a mile long, with large and small carts, no oxen and horses, and they were all pulled by humans, carrying household items.
Now these things are scattered all over the place, the team is wailing, blood is everywhere, people are in chaos and panic, and there is nowhere to hide in the vastness.
There were adults, children, adults, and old men everywhere in the team. They were all treated equally. A sharp knife shot down the dark neck, and the head flew up with blood.
Suddenly, cries and screams came one after another, corresponding to the excited howls of the Huns, like evil ghosts demanding life, shuddering, accompanied by flying heads and blood spurting from the chest, the Huns cavalry were skillful They leaned over to explore the horses, eyes wide open, and frightened heads hanging on the horses.
There were only some women and children who looked better now. The hunting Huns cavalry drove them away consciously and kept them.
Women are trophies, and children become the most suitable slaves when they grow up.
The civilians in the long queue fled, avoiding the evil spirits who were seeking their lives. No less than hundreds of them lost their heads. The ground was dyed red with blood, but the killing continued.
Those who died in the team were basically young and old, some children, and a few women.
Corpses were strewn across the fields, and the Hun cavalry became more and more animalistic. Some of them directly selected women with postures from the crowd and snatched them onto their horses. Their clothes were torn to pieces, and their skin was exposed to the air. Seeing this, their laughter became even more wild.
Animal behavior abounds, shocking, scarlet blood, and gravel all over the sky.
The cavalry ran horizontally, and the horses trampled the long queue. Under the strong Huns, some had broken bones, howled loudly, and rolled and screamed in agony. Some even had horseshoes piercing their abdomens, their internal organs were smashed, and their heads were like watermelons. They died on the spot.
When the Huns bent down to pick up the head, they cursed angrily, as if they had lost their cattle and sheep.
The sky was filled with yellow sand and the wind was blowing hard.
In the distance, a black spot appeared.
The black spots slowly expanded, and a cone-shaped cavalry team appeared. The leader was Black Horse Xuanjia, with cold eyes, and dots of scarlet spreading in his eyes. The entire cavalry team was silent and uniform, but the weapons in their hands were tightened a few times. point.
The ground trembled slightly, and the frightening sound of horse hooves woke up the reveling Huns. Seeing the sudden appearance of the cavalry, they screamed in horror.
"Meng Jiajun~"
In response to the horrified shouts, the knights on black horses and black armor swept forward with Huang Tianman, moving forward indomitably.
"Kill, leave no one behind~" A cold voice came from the mouth of Black Horse Xuanjia who was taking the lead.
The entire Huns team dispersed, and only a few dozen people formed a fighting team at this time.
Yo~
The sound of eagles appeared in the sky.
Under the sharp eyes of the eagle, the two sides collided and intertwined in an instant. The black-armored knight held a spear and passed through the Huns crowd, bringing up pieces of blood. Behind them, the Hun cavalry fell to the ground and died one by one.
The tip of the gun shook slightly, and the scarlet beads on the blood groove slid off.
The oncoming cavalry swallowed up the carnival Hun cavalry. In the blink of an eye, the dozens of Hun cavalry facing them snatched away the souls one after another. The rest of the Huns reined in their horses and tried to turn around and flee in panic.
In recent months, there have been several elusive Meng Family Army cavalrymen appearing in the hundreds of miles around here, driving eagles and wolves.
They have already lost tens of thousands of people to their guns. The Hetao was originally the pasture of the Huns. As long as they did not attack the Great Wall of Qin, they could come and leave as they pleased. But that is no longer possible. They have a life-killing weapon anytime and anywhere. On their necks.
In the past, a team of three scouts would roam the borders of Da Qin to spy on the military situation, but now they often disappear in the border areas of Da Qin. The task of scouting in the army has become a task that everyone is afraid of and avoids.
The Shanyu in the royal court was furious and scolded the frontline generals for their incompetence. He had already replaced three generals in succession. Currently, their general Huersu could not hold on any longer and was looking grim all day long.
Because the other party's hunting circle was expanding day by day, and many of their tribes were plundered and massacred.
His good days are coming to an end.
Now that this life-threatening Meng family army appeared, they could not even muster the will to resist. In addition to being frightened, they could only flee, hoping that their teammates behind them would slow down.
"Divide and defeat, five people in one team, thirty one team, no one left." The knight in black horse black armor pulled the reins, sat down and the horse stood upright, neighing in the wind.
"No~"
The cavalry behind them responded in unison and skillfully took orders to chase down the fleeing Huns cavalry.
The black horse black armor knights knocked down several more Huns cavalry, and smashed the wailing Huns with their spears into the crowd of Huns.
He reached out and picked up the long bow on his horse, and sharp arrows flying out of the air. No Huns were standing as far as he could see.
The civilians of Da Qin looked at them with hope and hope for surviving the disaster.
Soon, the Hun cavalry was swept away, and the cavalry who came back in groups immediately had their heads hung on them. These were all their merits.
"General Fan, the Xiongnu have been expelled and killed under the horse." A young general reported with his fists on horseback.
"Well, let the soldiers help the people quickly reorganize the team. This is not a place to stay for a long time."
Fan Kuai blew a bamboo whistle from his mouth, and the falcon, which was a thousand meters above the air, circled in a circle. Seeing that there was nothing happening for dozens of miles around, it flew towards Fan Kuai and stood on the outstretched arm.
Fan Kuai touched the falcon's feathers lovingly and took out a piece of fresh meat from his arms. This was rabbit meat that he had specially hunted on the road. It was very fat.
The falcon ate and chirped happily.
After eating and drinking enough, he stretched his arms in the air and continued to be vigilant. Then the second falcon landed and ate rabbit meat.
The young general on the side looked at the Falcon with eager eyes. Their team was able to attack the unsuspecting Huns without anyone noticing because of this treasure.
By the time both falcons were flying high in the sky again, the civilian team had been hastily reorganized.
The children cried for their mothers, the children cried for their fathers, the white-haired people gave away the black-haired people, and there were pitiful cries in the team.
Fan Kuai watched this scene in silence. He had tried his best to come, but he was still half a step late.
"Let's go." Fan Kuai ordered.
The cavalry escorted the people to safety.
After walking for dozens of miles, the cry of eagles appeared in the sky.
Fan Kuai shouted suddenly, "The Huns are coming.
One-third of the people were assigned to escort the people away safely.
The rest of them broke up with me.
Wang Wu, take people to find out. "
At this time, the falcon in the sky made three long calls in a short period of time.
Fan Kuai's expression changed, and he quickly blew the bamboo whistle in his mouth, and a unique whistle appeared.
One of the two falcons circled above Fan Kuai's head and flew away quickly.
Fan Kuai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and then shouted, "A large number of Huns are coming here from thirty miles away.
Hei Da has informed thousands of people, probably around 5,000. I have asked Hei Er to notify General Xiahou, who is twenty miles away, to come for support. Everyone will not be able to fight for a while. "
Qian Wen trained the falcon, using the number of sounds, length, and number of circles as signals to convey opportunities to his generals.
Hei Da and Hei Er are the falcons that Qian Wen gave to Fan Kuai, and Fan Kuai got the name himself. Qian Wen thought it might be because Fan Kuai remembered the days when he killed dogs.
Fan Kuai and Xia Houying's general positions were all empty and temporary positions. They wore armor and led troops on expeditions during wartime, and were dismissed as soon as the army returned.
Three and a half months have passed since Qian Wen followed Meng Tian north to the border. When he arrived at the border, the fighting situation in this area was stalemate, and the two sides entered a stalemate.
The 300,000 Meng army was not afraid of the Huns, but the Huns only wanted to plunder and did not engage in head-on combat with the Meng army. Instead, they broke into pieces and invaded the Qin border with small troops.
Like the seven or eight hundred people just now, it is already a relatively large team, usually about a hundred people, coming and going like a shadow, and it is impossible to catch it.
As for the Hun cavalry troop of about 5,000 people who screamed in Heida, they had seen it when they first came to the border, so Fan Kuai exclaimed just now.
You must know that Fan Kuai's cavalry team is only a thousand men.
Xia Houying quickly led a team to help, and Qian Wen also got the news. He looked at the simple map on the wall in the yurt and discussed with Han Xin next to him if they could let their nearby troops hunt and swallow this big prey.
Five thousand Huns cavalry, this is a big piece of fat, meritorious service.
He was able to maintain such a large team only because his subordinates were good at fighting and achieved dazzling results one after another, giving Meng Tian a reason to indulge him.
Let him lead his troops day by day to hunt the Huns heading north to create benefits for himself.
When Qian Wen came here, he first studied with Meng Tian. After Fan Kuai and Xia Houying arrived with their people, he studied for a while and tried his best to impress Meng Tian. , There are only a few people, but what he wants is autonomy. He has the final say on his team. Unless a war is about to start, he will not listen to instructions.
Meng Tian thought at that time that the hundred-man team would be given to his younger brother. This would also allow Qian Wen to return to the Meng family as soon as possible.
But Qian Wen brought Han Xin with him, and Han Xin served as his staff to give him advice. The two of them collided, intertwined, and combined together to come up with countless fantastic strategies and decisions.
The original small team of 100 people has now become a huge team of 5,000 people, and Qian Wen used the magic of exorcism, using falcons as their eyes and wolves as their hounds, and they went deep into the Huns' border. He carried out sneak attacks, plundered countless cattle, sheep, war horses, and slaves, and formed his own team on the border.
Among his five thousand border troops, except for a small number of Meng's troops who borrowed money from Meng Tian, the rest were slaves rescued from plunder. There were young men who had been recruited and had a blood feud with the Huns, who had been rescued nearby.
After a series of eliminations, selections, and battles, he finally had this powerful army that belonged to him.
Meng Tian had the final say on the entire frontier of Jiuyuan County, and Qian Wen also based on Qin's laws. Anyone who could strengthen Qin could be granted official status, and anyone who had meritorious service could obtain a title.
Moreover, Qian Wen's behavior also solved the dilemma on the frontier. Meng Tian also liked Qian Wen's changes and thought that this made him like the Meng family, so he continued to support him, and he gradually became like this.
A force that is more iron-blooded than Pei County's private army appears.
Soon, Qian Wen's large army collided with the Huns' army. The falcon brought the order, harassing them first, dividing and eating them. When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we chase, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack. .
The Hun general annoyed Qian Wen like a fly. After a few rounds, he lost several squads sent to pursue him and then withdrew his troops.
It was already dinner time, and the Huotou Army set up a large pot, and the aroma of the food aroused the greed in the stomachs of all the soldiers.
The campground was extremely lively.
Daily training, patrols, and political lessons. On the far left side of the military camp, there was a loud voice telling stories about Qian Wenmo's modifications. There were all excited soldiers sitting in front of them, among them. Very happy.
As usual, Qian Wen walked around the camp with his hands behind his back, playing hide-and-seek with the patrols, practicing their vigilance, and pulling in a few ordinary soldiers who had been trained to do some random things.
A bright red sunset shone in the sky. Qian Wen casually sat on the high wooden platform set up in the camp and watched everything in the camp.
His frontier troops implemented a cruel last-place punishment system.
His frontier was divided into five bands of one thousand men each.
Han Xin, Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, private army graduates Yu Yi, and Wu Yong led the army.
The last two hundred soldiers of each army received punishment, and the first two hundred received exciting material rewards.
Because too many cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock were plundered, Qian Wen knew that he had the right to avoid expiration, so he called his Dinghong Trading Company and sold all the things he didn't need to the firm at a suitable price. .
Then money, Xiongnu women, livestock, etc. were rewarded to the top two hundred soldiers of each of the five armies, every month.
"General, there is something coming from Peixian County." Fan Kuai stood behind Qian Wen.
"Oh?" Qian Wen was surprised. Ever since he came here, it was difficult to communicate with Peixian County because it was far away and in chaos.
That is to say, the Jiuyuan County office has been secretly established recently, which is better.
But I don’t know what Peixian County can’t wait to send.
"Let's take a look." Qian Wen walked in front, followed by Fan Kuai.
Soon they arrived at the tent camp, and Han Xin was also there. Now he had sincerely surrendered to Qian Wen.
Leading an army alone, was this something he had dared to think about before? Play more Go, it will help strengthen your brain.
It's just that Han Xin now makes Qian Wen scared.
"Don't touch that black jar." Qian Wen shouted for help.
This is the message from the King of Hell sent by the King of Hell.
Han Xin was holding a black, palm-sized ceramic jar with a lead wire standing on it.
Black powder is an extremely explosive substance, and the temperature at the moment of deflagration can reach over 1000 degrees Celsius. If Han Xin accidentally dropped the ceramic jar on the ground, he might become a pioneer.
