161 The first Qin cavalry fought against the Huns, and thousands of cattle and sheep were killed on
"Central Plains people! The Central Plains people are here!!" An old Hun who was teaching a group of young Hun children the method of riding and shooting looked at the tens of thousands of iron cavalry like a black dark cloud in the distance and the "Qin" flag flying in the iron cavalry, and immediately issued a shrill warning voice.
"Woo~~Woo~~~~Woo~~~~" The desolate oxen horn echoed throughout the world. Since the year when this small Xiongnu tribe relocated to the Hetao Plain in response to the order of Touman Shanyu, the horn used for warning has not been used for decades. But today, a group of soldiers wearing black armor, holding the pole of flying and flying flags of the word "Qin" have been regarded as a hunting ground by the Huns, and have the idea of revenge for His Majesty the Great First Emperor who was humiliated for them, brought cold sword blades and blades to these Xiongnus who lived in the Hetao Plain, allowing the Huns who have always been in the hunting class to taste the "wonderful" taste of being hunted by others!
The Hun tribe attacked by this group of Qin cavalry, the Lu Bu's vanguard, was actually very unlucky. The army commanded by Lu Bu did not find their small Hun tribe that was staunched a hundred miles away from the river because of the river. However, the bonfire raised by the Central Plains man named Zhao Jie to fill his stomach, attracted the tens of thousands of Qin iron cavalry that had passed by this small Hun tribe, and eventually brought disaster to the small Hun tribe that captured him from the Zhao State back then.
Lu Bu cut the Huns, who tried to block his way, into four pieces, and swallowed the blood splashed out of the Huns, and roared, "Kill the Great Qin Iron Cavalry!!!"
"Kill!!" Tens of thousands of Iron Cavalry of the Qin Dynasty followed Lu Bu and rushed into the Huns' camps. Any creatures without the armor of the Qin Dynasty appeared in front of them. Whether it was the unthreatening cattle, sheep, horses or the Huns who were trying to fight back, they were all the targets they killed! Iron Cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, kill!
This small Hun tribe was originally not large in scale. Not to mention the hundreds of Hun archers who were the last defender of the tribe, they were summoned by the noble Touman Shanyu to attack the Yuezhi people who violated the oath. Even if these hundreds of Hun archers were all guarded in this tribe, facing tens of thousands of elite Daqin Iron Cavalry, the number of Hun archers who could use the riding bows in their hands to cause a little "surprise" to Lu Bu and the others, even if it was good, the final outcome would inevitably be swallowed up by the black torrent composed of Daqin Iron Cavalry.
Now, this small Xiongnu tribe, which had no last resistance, had not even the last resistance of hundreds of Xiongnu archers, faced the impact of tens of thousands of elite Qin Iron Cavalry led by Lu Bu, was completely submerged under the iron hooves of tens of thousands of Qin Iron Cavalry, and turned into a pool of bloody and fleshy mud to provide the necessary nutrients for survival for the grass growing here in the future and the wild wolf who would soon come to "clean" the battlefield.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's too satisfying. Even the only little resistance that appeared was resolved by my brother. After this battle, I just harvested two Huns' fragments..." Lu Shizhi muttered with some unsatisfactoryness.
"Just" heard Lu Bu muttering Lu Shizhi and laughed: "This is just a small Hun tribe of an incredible scale. There are countless Huns waiting for you to harvest. I'm afraid that you may not have the ability to harvest all the Huns by then!"
"Lord, there are only more than a thousand old and weak people in this Hun tribe. However, their cattle and sheep together have at least ten thousand, and hundreds of good horses to requisition." Ji Wen, who came to report the results of the war, expressed his expression very joyous. He lived in the south and never saw a person with ten cattle and sheep in daily life. If a farmer in the south could have a big yellow cow, it would be a great thing. The Huns here have so many cattle and sheep but only know how to use these cattle and sheep as food. If it were the people of the Central Plains, they would have used these cattle and sheep to cultivate fields and grow crops.
Lu Bu, who had known for his long time that the Huns made a living by shedding cattle, sheep, and horses, naturally would not make a fuss like Ji Wen, but there was still some small controversy between Lu Bu and his subordinates about how to deal with these cattle, sheep, and horses that had lost their masters.
"Lord, these cattle, sheep and horses are valuable. We have not yet entered the hinterland of the Huns. As long as we send a few people to drive these cattle, sheep and horses back to the Qin Dynasty, whether they are presented to the First Emperor or for future use, it is better than slaughtering them on the spot?" Although Zhong Liping had already taken office under Lu Bu, he decided to argue with Lu Bu for reasons that Lu Bu asked him to send people to slaughter these tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses on the spot.
Lu Bu knew that Zhongliping's view was actually the view of many people in the army. Most of these people did not understand the life patterns of the Huns, and they had the mentality of not being willing to kill cattle, sheep, and horses that were valuable in the Central Plains. (In history, war horses were scarce during the Warring States Period, and many princes and nobles could only ride in ox carts or donkey carts.)
But now after truly entering the Hetao Plain, cattle, sheep and horses shepherded by the Huns will definitely see more in the future. If Lu Bu agreed to their request this time, he distributed a small number of soldiers to escort the tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses back to the Qin Dynasty. Then the next time when the army defeated the larger Hun tribe and seized hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, would it mean that he should immediately take the army to escort these cattle, sheep and horses back to the Qin Dynasty?
"General Meng Tian asked us to collect intelligence to detect the reality of the Hetao Huns, rather than letting us come here to snatch the cattle, sheep and horses of the Huns. The problem we have to face is not how to defeat the Hun tribes that were not yet prepared and then transport their cattle, sheep and horses back to the Qin Dynasty. We have to face how to detect all the changes in the Hetao Plain before the Huns reacted, and provide necessary information for General Meng Tian's subsequent main forces!
The orders of our army were passed on, except for the horses that could serve as horses that transport items in the army, the other cattle and sheep of the Huns were slaughtered on the spot, and the beef and mutton from the upper part were selected to simply marinate them with the salt here, so as to serve as the food supply for our next march. Although dry food is difficult to swallow now, dry food that can be stored for a long time may become the last food for our most dangerous moment in the future." Lu Bu made the final decision and issued his order to Zhongliping in an irresistible tone.
Zhong Liping sighed lightly. Although he did not agree with Lu Bu's order, he could not disobey, so he could only convey the military order of Lu Bu to slaughter more than 10,000 cattle and sheep on the spot with regret.
"Ah!!"
"Moo!!"
When these cattle and sheep saw the Qin soldiers walking to their side with their cold light, they seemed to know that they were about to suffer a catastrophe, and they shouted restlessly. However, now in this world, even humans, who are the spirits of all things, cannot fully control their own destiny, and these beasts who are shepherded by humans naturally have no right to choose their own destiny.
Amid the roars before death, these cattle and sheep were stabbed into the fatal hole by a group of Qin soldiers with swords, guns, swords and halberds, and swallowed their last breath. In the end, the meat pieces on the ribs of the legs were cut off by these Qin soldiers. After simple marination, they were collected as food.
"I'll send orders the three armies to set off, and there's still a long way to go. I can't spend all my time here." Seeing that the cattle and sheep were almost killed, Lu Bu turned over and jumped onto the back of the horse chasing the wind, pulled out the Fangtian painting halberd from the soil again, and shouted the Qin soldiers to start a new journey.
"General Lu has an order, and the three armies will set off!"
"General Lu has an order, and the three armies will set off!"
The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty threw the bloody corpses of cattle and sheep aside, turned over and climbed onto their respective mounts, followed Lu Bu and headed towards the depths of the Hetao Plain.
