In one sentence, "Many people were killed."
"Flowing Thousands of Miles with Blood", Corpse Mountain and Blood River is a bit exaggerated, but it also appropriately describes the current situation of the three northern border counties of Yanmen County, Beidi County and Dai County at this time.
The Hun cavalry has always enjoyed killing people. The devastation caused by the influx of 300,000 Hun cavalry into the border areas can be imagined.
For a time, "the city wall was like a polder, and the bones were like bones." It was difficult to see a human being within a thousand miles.
"..."
King Youxian Huyan Jiyu came to attack Bianyi City and burned, killed and looted Bianyi City...
Immediately afterwards, King Youxian Huyan Jiyu and his army turned around and attacked the Yanling camp with more than 30,000 Han soldiers.
The geographical location of Yanling Camp is crucial.
Not only is it the core and hub of Daijun's border defense, it also stores a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance.
At critical moments, he also has the power to control military camps in various places, which can be said to affect the whole body.
Once the Yanling camp falls, the entire Dai County will definitely fall into the hands of the enemy.
One hundred thousand Xiongnu cavalry, led by Youxian King Huyan Jiyu, went on a killing spree in Daijun.
So, what are the local Han Dynasty garrison in Daijun doing?
At this moment, the local armies of various departments in Daijun could only retreat within their respective jurisdictions due to various reasons, and did not dare to compete with the invading Huns cavalry.
Only Zhang Yufei, the current governor of Daijun, summoned soldiers from surrounding counties and tried to fight the Youxian King Huyan Jiyu in a decisive battle to protect the people of Daijun.
However, Zhang Yufei, the governor of Daijun, was a civilian official. He was not a military commander, and he had never actually commanded a battle. This was very fatal.
It is a taboo for an outsider to do important things for an expert.
From the perspective of the Huns, their military operation this time can be said to be a fruitful one.
After nearly a month of tug-of-war, the three armies of the Huns all achieved good results, and their troops were directed at the counties of Yanmen County, Beidi County, and Dai County.
The two counties of Yanmen County and Beidi County were a little better. There were famous generals in history like Li Guang and Cheng Bushi serving as prefects, and they could barely stabilize the situation.
However, the battle situation on Daijun's side was very corrupt.
Zhang Yufei, the governor of Daijun, managed to organize 20,000 county troops, but they were defeated by 8,000 Huns cavalry in a battle in the wild.
All 20,000 county soldiers died in the battle, and no one survived. Zhang Yufei, the acting county governor, also died in this battle.
Daijun is in danger.
Because the sky in Daijun has fallen.
The top official of Daijun local county government died.
Twenty thousand troops died in the wild, countless civil servants and generals died in battle, and Daijun's last surviving military force was completely wiped out.
The entire territory of Dai County has become vulnerable.
The senior officers in various military cities and villages were like ants on a hot pot, jumping anxiously, but there was nothing they could do...
What should I do if my immediate boss dies?
Waiting online, urgent!
Daijun officials were in a mess, and naturally they couldn't care less about the ordinary people.
In order to escape the war, large numbers of refugees dragged heavy carts, carried all their belongings, and their wives, children, and children, and swarmed into relatively safe military cities and villages.
"Brother Wei, in the past few days, more than a hundred refugees have poured into our county from other places."
"If this continues, our food will become a big problem! Let's issue a "restriction of entry" order like other generals did!"
"Brother Wei, your heart is good, but the current situation does not allow us to be soft-hearted. We cannot let these refugees drag them to death!"
Sun Bin looked sad as he told Wei Qing about the food and grass situation in Houtu County.
"..."
In the county government office, a burning pile of firewood drives away the cold air of winter.
The dry pine wood made a popping sound under the flames.
This series of sounds is like that of the county magistrate Sun Bin, who is now very anxious.
Because of the raging Hun cavalry, more and more people have been flocking to Houtu County recently, including refugees and defeated troops.
From a dozen people a day at the beginning, to hundreds of people in the past few days.
Now, the number of people accommodated in Houtu County, a small earth city, has exceeded the terrifying 100,000 people.
Thinking of the huge amount of food and grass spent every day to feed these people, Sun Bin, the magistrate in charge of civil affairs in Houtu County, felt a headache.
However, this "prodigal captain" specifically ordered that all refugees and deserters be allowed to stay in the county.
This is very different or even completely different from the behavior and measures of the cities and military villages in Daijun that are still resisting tenaciously.
In order to give themselves a good reputation and give an explanation to the court, the existing local officials and generals in Dai County opened their doors to refugees and deserters.
However, in order to avoid being overwhelmed by these refugees and deserters, they all issued orders not to accept the old, weak, sick and disabled without exception.
"..."
The reason for this order is entirely because young and middle-aged men can strengthen the defensive strength of towns and military villages during this special time period.
The old, weak, sick and disabled can do nothing but waste food.
Let’s get back to the point.
This cruel order made the Huns cavalry who were rampaging in Daijun become even more rampant.
No one knows what the final outcome will be for those refugees and deserters who have been driven away.
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles. Local officials and generals have no such leisure when it comes to the life and death of these refugees.
Of course, there have been cases of refugees and deserters forcing their way into the country, but in the face of the sharp swords of the army, these resistances are in vain.
"Brother Sun, do you also want me to drive these poor people out like those cold-blooded guys?"
"Let our compatriots freeze to death, starve to death this winter? Or be hacked to death by the Huns' scimitars?"
Wei Qing's face was cold and he interrupted Sun Bin's chatter. The cold light flashing in his eyes made Sun Bin, who was still complaining, shut his mouth knowingly.
Ever since he learned that Daijun's other generals had issued an order not to accept the old, weak, sick, and disabled, Wei Qing called these generals "cold-blooded bastards."
Seeing Wei Qing's gnashing of teeth, Sun Bin fell silent.
"Brother Sun, please go down first. Our food should be enough to survive this winter. I don't want to see anyone freeze to death or starve to death this winter!"
Wei Qing looked serious and patted Sun Bin on the shoulder.
"..."
After Sun Bin left, Wei Qing stood in the hall and didn't move for a long time.
To be honest, the reason why Wei Qing took in so many people was not only because he couldn't bear the tragic death of his compatriots, but also because he wanted to expand his troops and enhance the strength of his own legion.
In times of war, there are talents and soldiers. The greater the population, the stronger the military strength.
