Zhengde thirty-one years.
June 23rd.
The sun is scorching in the sky in Mobei, and there are no clouds in the sky.
The Yan Army's Yehuling logistics center is more than thirty miles away.
Thousands of Huns cavalry drove countless cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock.
Sweating profusely and facing the scorching sun, he walked straight towards the Yan Army's Yehuling logistics center.
And there were thousands of Huns cavalry on the left and right flanks and behind them.
There are neat and uniform Yan Army cavalry phalanxes one after another.
After the battle with the Xiongnu Kunzan tribe.
In order to completely cut off the retreat of the more than 3,000 surrendered troops of the Kunzan tribe of the Xiongnu.
More than 5,000 soldiers of the Yan army made several detours and once again annihilated three medium-sized tribes under the command of King Zhizhu.
Among them, the medium-sized tribe under the command of King Zhi Zhu had the largest number of soldiers and horses, with more than 3,000 soldiers.
With the cooperation of more than a thousand Yan Army soldiers and the deterrence of more than 4,000 Yan Army soldiers.
The more than 3,000 Xiongnu Kunzan tribesmen all unleashed their greatest combat power in their lives.
In the end, nearly 800 people were killed or injured.
In one fell swoop, he destroyed the medium-sized tribe under the command of the Corpse Chaser King, which had more than 3,000 troops.
After this battle.
The more than 3,000 Xiongnu Kunzan tribesmen had no way to retreat.
The Yan army added thousands of horses, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and more than a thousand prisoners.
.......
.......
Two or three quarters of an hour later.
The Yan army's central army was in the cavalry formation advancing slowly.
Sitting on the tall horse, Xin Sixuan, the leader of the Yan army, put away the map in his hand without hesitation.
Then he turned his head slightly and looked at Wang Jingbo, the herald not far away.
"Wang Jingbo."
Xin Sixuan calmed down briefly and then spoke.
"The general is here!"
Upon hearing this, the herald officer Wang Jingbo quickly clasped his fists and responded.
"There is a tributary of Qingshui River five miles ahead."
"Instruct the whole army to rest on the spot for two-quarters of an hour after arriving at the tributary of Qingshui River."
Xin Sixuan ordered in a deep voice.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, the herald officer Wang Jingbo immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.
Not long after.
Military orders were spread unimpeded throughout the army through several methods, including the flags in the hands of the messengers and the galloping horses.
After hearing that there is a river five miles ahead and the army can rest in place for two quarters of an hour.
The more than 5,000 Xiongnu soldiers who were responsible for driving horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock were all cheering for a while.
Some even stood up directly from the horse, danced and sang a Hun tune loudly.
See this scene.
Xu Yi, who was following Xin Sixuan on horseback in the Yan Army's cavalry formation, couldn't help but lowered his eyelids thoughtfully.
During the withdrawal journey which lasted for more than ten days.
Xu Yi has already made several restraint strategies in his mind.
A quarter of an hour or two later.
More than 5,000 Xiongnu soldiers surrendered, and more than 5,000 Yan army soldiers arrived at the tributaries of Qingshui River.
On both sides of the tributary of Qingshui River, which was about half a foot wide at one time.
The joy that comes from deep within echoes everywhere.
Looking south from the tributary of Qingshui River.
As far as the eye can see.
The originally slightly blurry Yehu Ridge consists of layers of mountains and hills.
At this time, the faintness is clearly visible.
.......
.......
At this time, more than 5,000 Yan Army soldiers and an equal number of Xiongnu surrender troops were living in harmony at the tributary of Qingshui River.
Haman, the corpse chaser king, one of the twenty-four Xiongnu commanders, was always one step behind the Yan army.
Finally, he led his 15,000 men to ride to a medium-sized Xiongnu tribe only 120 to 30 miles away from the tributary of Qingshui River.
As far as the eye can see.
Originally there were more than 2,000 troops
A medium-sized tribe with more than 20,000 people, thousands of war horses, and more than 20,000 cattle, sheep and other livestock.
At this time, the ground was already in a mess.
War horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock were all lost, and there was no trace of more than 2,000 tribal warriors.
There were only collapsed tents everywhere, black and purple soil everywhere, and two inexplicable mountains of earth.
It seems that the tragedy of this place is being told all the time.
Haman, the corpse-chasing king, was originally sitting on a horse with his back straight.
After seeing this scene.
His face turned red instantly, and his eyes turned red due to congestion.
Even the straight waist bent down involuntarily.
Just when Haman, the corpse-chasing king, was about to explode with rage.
Dozens of scouts suddenly rushed to the camp from all directions.
"Report!"
"Report!"
"Report!"
"Report to your lord!"
"The Tenge tribe...there is no living person in the Tenge tribe."
"The body of...the tribal leader Tenge was...buried in the leader's tent."
"Cattle...cattle and sheep...oxen, sheep, war horses and other livestock,...as well as iron tools, sheepskins and other property...all disappeared."
"Except...other than that."
"The humble... The humble and others came from beside the king's tent... and found traces of a large number of bows, arrows, spears and spears being... burned."
The leader of the scouts, a hundred cavalrymen, marched to Haman, then dismounted and trembled to report.
"What tribe is this?"
"This is the first tribe!!!"
"Kunzan tribe, Husa tribe, Langda tribe...Tengge tribe!"
"This is already the eighth tribe! The eighth tribe!"
I heard what the scout Baiqi Commander reported.
Corpse Chaser King Haman's already red complexion instantly became a little more rosy.
The red eyes were as terrifying as weeping blood.
"Yan Wangyi!!!"
"What grudge do I have against you?"
"Why are you targeting me like this!!!"
"If I don't kill your whole family in this life, I will slaughter the two counties of Yan!"
"I will be abandoned by the gods of heaven and earth! After my death, my body will be eaten by thousands of wolves!!!"
Haman, the Corpse Chaser King, looked at the direction of Yan Di with red eyes, and roared fiercely with grief and indignation.
As soon as this statement came out.
All the soldiers around him followed his gaze in the direction of Yandi with expressions of sorrow and anger.
"We will follow the prince in this life to kill King Yi of Yan of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"If you break this oath!"
"We will be abandoned by the gods of heaven and earth! After death, our bodies will be eaten by thousands of wolves!!!"
A group of Xiongnu soldiers swore poisonous oaths with the same hatred.
"How can all the soldiers have such a heart!"
"Why worry about King Yan not being executed?!"
"Wait until King Yan Yifu kills the queen!"
"I personally led all the soldiers to slaughter the eight cities of Yan in March!!!"
Haman, the corpse-chasing king, turned his horse around and made a stern promise with his face flushed and his eyes red.
"My lord is mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
The words of Haman, the king of corpses, spread throughout the army through the mouths of the messengers.
At the same time, the voice of shouting for might also spread rapidly.
At the end, the shouts of mighty power shook the sky.
Seeing that the morale is strong and the military spirit is ready.
Haman, the corpse-chasing king, couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"All officers and men, please follow me forward!"
"Destroy the Zhou army! Kill Yan Wang Yi! Slaughter the eight cities of Yan!"
Haman, the corpse-chasing king, calmed down for a moment, then raised his arms and shouted an order
road.
"Destroy the Zhou army! Kill Yan Wang Yi! Slaughter the eight cities of Yan!!!"
"Destroy the Zhou army! Kill Yan Wang Yi! Slaughter the eight cities of Yan!!!"
"Destroy the Zhou army! Kill Yan Wang Yi! Slaughter the eight cities of Yan!!!"
More than 10,000 Huns cavalry raised their arms and shouted, and then drove forward again.
And several miles in front of more than 10,000 Huns cavalry.
More than a thousand scouts under the Corpse Chaser King continued to move forward in a fan shape, searching for traces of the Yan army.
Thus constantly pointing the way for the army behind them.
at the same time.
The army of Haman, the corpse-chasing king, was more than three hundred miles behind him.
Hunxie Wang Jiankun and Xinri Wang Wutusi joined forces.
Forming an army with as many as 37,000 soldiers and horses.
Following the marks left by the tribe of Haman, the Corpse Chaser, they slowly marched toward the southeast.
...
...
It's almost half time.
The scorching sun is getting brighter and hotter.
The Yan army's Yehuling logistics center is five miles away.
The generals of the Yan Army, You Yaoqing and Chang Sanjin, who were stationed in the strategic logistics area of Yehuling, personally led two thousand Yan Army soldiers.
They lined up on the only road early and waited for the army's triumphant return.
"Report!"
"Report!"
"Report!"
Just when You Yaoqing and Chang Sanjin were sweating profusely and looking forward to seeing what happened.
Suddenly dozens of Yan army scouts came running from a distance.
"Qianqian Youqianhu, Changqianhu!"
"The army has now reached Langwogou five miles away!"
"We will arrive here soon!"
The leading scout, the commander of the camp, galloped to You Yaoqing and Chang Sanjin, who were more than ten paces away.
Then he quickly turned over and dismounted, strode forward and clasped his fists to report.
"Lang Laogou five miles away."
You Yaoqing and Chang Sanjin couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.
Both of them had joy flashing in their eyes.
"I'm going to see how the ice is prepared."
Chang Sanjin grinned, then quickly turned around and ran behind him.
"startled."
"Back off."
Hearing this, You Yaoqing couldn't help but be stunned for a few breaths, and then waved his hand towards the scout commander.
"yes."
Upon hearing this, the scout commander immediately clasped his fists in salute and then retreated.
After the scout commander's figure completely disappeared from sight.
You Yaoqing couldn't help scratching his head, then turned and walked behind him.
"Old Chang."
"How are the ice cubes prepared?"
"Captain Xin and the others should arrive soon."
"Don't wait until the army arrives. We haven't prepared enough ice cubes to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
As he spoke, You Yaoqing couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"Do not worry!"
"Absolutely enough!"
"Walk faster and lend a hand."
Chang Sanjin couldn't help but urge after hearing this.
Not long after.
Baskets of crystal-clear ice cubes still braving the cold were carried to the left and right sides of the only way by a group of Yan army soldiers.
As the crystal clear ice cubes continue to increase.
The originally hot and unbearable road gradually became a little refreshing.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
Suddenly there was the sound of rumble of horse hooves under the distant hills.
at the same time.
Countless cattle, sheep and other livestock gradually appeared in the sight of You Yaoqing, Chang Sanjin and other Yan Army officers and soldiers.
See this scene.
Excitement and joy appeared on the faces of the two thousand officers and soldiers of the Yan army who came to welcome the triumphant army.
"I'm coming!"
"Captain Xin and the others are back!"
"Good guy! So many cattle and sheep! Colonel Xin and the others
Several more Xiongnu tribes were wiped out. "
"In my opinion, Lieutenant Xin and the others will have to wipe out at least several Xiongnu tribes this time."
"Shocked, aren't you talking nonsense? Who didn't know that at least a few of them would have been killed."
"Okay, okay, I've been told a lot, look at the front, is that the Huns surrendering their troops?"
"What you are saying is that it could be our Yan army instead of the Xiongnu surrendering. When did our Yan army ever wear such shabby clothes?"
"That's true. Those Huns who surrendered a few days ago were all wearing rags, and these look the same."
"..."
「……」
The two thousand officers and soldiers of the Yan army who came to welcome the army's triumphant return couldn't help but chatter with excitement.
After seeing that the Xiongnu troops were almost all in ragged clothes.
The two thousand officers and soldiers of the Yan Army who were stationed at the logistics hub of Yehuling all felt a deep sense of superiority and happiness in their hearts.
The so-called happiness comes from contrast, which is probably nothing more than this.
Not long after.
The blue dragon banner with the word Yan suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
See this.
The two thousand officers and soldiers of the Yan Army who were stationed at the important logistics area of Yehuling couldn't help but stop talking.
Waiting for the arrival of the army.
A quarter of an hour later.
The blue dragon banner with the word Yan passed through numerous Xiongnu troops, cattle, sheep, war horses and other war trophies before arriving a hundred steps away from You Yaoqing, Chang Sanjin and others.
"Last General You Yaoqing!"
"Welcome the triumphant army!"
"The last general is Chang Sanjin!"
"Welcome the triumphant army!"
You Yaoqing, Chang Sanjin and other left-behind generals quickly walked forward to the large banner with the word "Yan" of Qinglong.
Then, facing the Qinglong Dagu with the word Yan, he leaned deeply and clasped his fists in salute.
"We welcome the triumphant army!"
The generals who stayed behind were behind.
The two thousand soldiers who stayed behind followed closely and bowed deeply to the Qinglong Daguan with the word "Yan", clasping their fists and saluting.
After the ceremony.
You Yaoqing, Chang Sanjin and other left-behind generals got up and walked to both sides of the road.
He quickly picked up baskets of crystal clear ice cubes and walked towards the army again.
Xin Sixuan, Xu Yi and others saw this and drove their horses forward silently with serious expressions on their faces.
Picked up an ice cube from the basket held by You Yaoqing, Chang Sanjin and other generals.
Then wipe your hands with ice cubes.
Wait until all hands are wiped.
Xin Sixuan, Xu Yi and the others put down the ice cubes in their hands and then silently drove their horses forward again.
Not long after.
More than two hundred Chinese guards followed closely and wiped their hands with ice cubes.
After all the more than two hundred guards of the Chinese army were wiped and cleaned.
Immediately following Xu Yi, Xin Sixuan and his party, they rode forward again.
Behind the Chinese army's personal guards were the soldiers of the three battalions of Feng camp, Xian Deng camp and Xuan Jia camp.
Then walk to the ice one after another and wipe and wash your hands with ice.
During the whole process, the more than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Yan Army all treated each other silently and solemnly.
Long before the method of making ice from saltpeter existed.
Whenever the army returns home victoriously from an expedition.
Everyone who goes to meet the army is prepared with plenty of water.
For the victorious soldiers to wipe and clean their hands.
It seemed as if just doing this would wash away the blood on his hands and the fatigue of battle.
This rule has been in place since Emperor Taizu.
It has been circulated in the Zhou Dynasty for more than two hundred years.
Three or four quarters of an hour later.
More than 5,000 Yanjun soldiers completed the hand-cleansing ceremony one after another.
More than 5,000 Xiongnu soldiers who fell behind more than 5,000 Yan army soldiers surrendered.
Follow closely to the mountain road that leads to the important logistics area.
After seeing the crystal clear ice on both sides of the road.
The more than 5,000 Huns cavalry all had "green" lights in their eyes.
"With ice
Block wipes to clean hands. "
"After wiping and cleaning, we lined up on the left and right sides of the road."
"After everyone has washed their hands, drive the cattle, sheep, and horses to follow me into Yehuling!"
Chang Sanjin sat upright on the horse's back and spoke in a deep voice.
As soon as he said something, the messenger next to him who was proficient in the Xiongnu language repeated it loudly.
Wait until you smell the ice cubes and use them after washing your hands.
The more than 5,000 Xiongnu troops who surrendered were all shocked and dumbfounded.
He never dared to imagine that ice cubes were only used by kings, generals and nobles on the summer grassland.
Yu Yanjun's hand was just something to wash his hands with.
Under the huge gap.
As many as 80% of the more than 5,000 Xiongnu soldiers who surrendered had wet eyes.
