168 Laughing at the thirst to drink the blood of the Xiongnu, the soldiers are divided into two path

Hetao is surrounded by the Yellow River on the west, north and east sides. Yinshan lies across the north of the Yellow River, and its valleys are mostly important channels in the north and south of the ancient desert. Helan Mountain stands west of the Yellow River, Luya Mountain is barrier to the east of the Yellow River, and is adjacent to the northern Shaanxi Plateau in the south. It is blocking the river by mountains, and the situation is dangerous. Taoli is the Ordos Plateau, with a undulating surface, high in the middle and low in the surrounding area. The Yellow River in the territory has a stable water flow, fertile land on both sides, and can be cultivated and pastoral. There is a saying that "the Yellow River is harmful to all kinds of harm, but only one is rich". It is precisely because the Hetao area is fertile and located at a critical point, so this has been a must-fight for military strategists for more than a hundred years.

During the Warring States Period, Zhao State fought a battle with the then prairie overlord Donghu people (later Xianbei people were also branches of the Donghu people) and finally captured the Hetao Plain and used it to raise good horses as a place for the horses for the Zhao State's Hu clothing and elite horses. The Donghu people who lost Hetao were unable to recover and were later gradually suppressed by the rising Huns. The days when the Donghu people dominated the grasslands were gone forever.

Although Zhao State occupied the Hetao land for many years after defeating the Donghu people, Zhao State was born at the wrong time and encountered the fateful enemy of Daqin. In a series of battles with Daqin, Zhao State could barely have attacks and defenses with Daqin at first, but in the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi, the Qin State Wu'an Jun, killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao ** soldiers in one fell swoop. Zhao State lost the capital to fight against the powerful Qin. It was also at this time that the Hetao Land used its plump water plants to attract another hungry wolf on the grassland - the Huns! Zhao State, who had just experienced the defeat in Changping, was unable to compete with the new Xiongs on the grassland for Hetao, and finally could only shrink the defense line and handed over the Hetao land to the Huns.

Now, another guest has been welcomed in Hetao, whose name is Daqin!!

"Kill! The Great Qin Iron Cavalry, advance but not retreat, kill!!" Lu Bu was bathed in the blood of the Huns, enjoying the pleasure of drinking the Huns' blood. He used the Fangtian Painting Ji in his hand to create a purgatory for the surrounding Huns. None of the Huns who entered his attack range could go out alive intact. "Just" led his army to drill three or four rounds of the Huns' formation. The more than 10,000 cavalry brigade composed of Huns' archers collapsed and turned into a group of fleeing fleeing in a hurry, giving the medium-sized Hun tribe settlement that was fighting behind them to the rising Da Qin Iron Cavalry.

"Lord, the Huns were killed and retreated, but most of the old, weak and weak women and children in this Hun tribe's settlement had already escaped on horses, leaving only these cattle and sheep." Ji Wen replied helplessly to Lu Bu that this was the third Xiongnu tribe settlement they had defeated today, but today it seemed that the Huns in these places had already prepared. Most of them prepared a large-scale resistance force in the settlement before the Qin army attacked. When the Qin army invaded, the old, weak and weak women and children in the settlement began to abandon cattle and sheep and flee everywhere on horses. This made the whereabouts of the Qin cavalry increasingly exposed, and the resistance force they encountered became stronger and stronger.

Lu Bu wiped the sticky flesh and blood on his face with his sleeve. Although he wanted to kill all the Huns he encountered without leaving a single living mouth, it was no less difficult to surround and kill the Huns who were born on horseback on this Hetao Plain than salvaging the fish and shrimps in the world in one net.

"How are the soldiers' casualties?" Lu Bu was not most concerned about the Huns who were fleeing everywhere. Since encountering the Huns' large-scale resistance, his cavalry troops have suffered sporadic casualties. Today, for the first time, the Huns with a archer-sized resistance was here. Although they could win easily by relying on Lu Bu's courage, the arrows of more than 10,000 Huns' archers also brought considerable trouble to Lu Bu and the others.

Lu Ze, who was standing aside, replied in a low mood: "According to my preliminary estimate, we have lost at least a thousand elite soldiers this time, and there are three or four thousand people who have been more or less injured in some arrows, and the combat power has been lost by about five thousand people."

"Damn it!!" Lu Bu used Fang Tianhua in his hand to slash the body of a Hun who fell to the ground and vent his anger. Although many of the five thousand people were only slightly injured, it did not affect their great combat power. However, there was no place for them to recover from the Hetao Plain, and there was no medicine for them to apply to the wound. As the subsequent bumps continued, those who were more seriously injured would soon be infected and killed. If the lesser injured could survive, of course, they would be better. I am afraid that their injuries would worsen because they were not treated. In the end...

"Lord, it's getting late today. Do you want to camp here to rest?" Zhongliping, who had just assigned the soldiers to clean the battlefield, walked to Lu Bu's side and asked Lu Bu.

"We have less and less time now. Although we don't know why the real main force of the Huns has not yet responded to our troops. But we are now in the Huns' nests. As the whereabouts are exposed, more and more Huns will focus on our Central Plains cavalry that penetrated into their hinterland. Therefore, we must speed up the reconnaissance mission of the Hetao land, and complete the mission as soon as possible after completing the mission as soon as possible while the main force of the Huns has withdrawn from Hetao land before we have targeted us to join General Meng Tian." Lu Bu's meaning is very clear, that is, if the troops can not rest, try not to rest as much as possible, and complete the reconnaissance mission assigned to them as soon as possible.

"But there are still many wounded people here that need to be bandaged simply, otherwise they will not last a few days with their current injuries..." Zhong Liping's eyes were full of unbearableness. Although he also knew that every moment the troops stopped here would create the opportunity for the Huns to siege and kill this lonely army, it was really something he could not do to make him give up the thousands of traumatized robes like this.

In fact, Lu Bu felt uncomfortable. Most of these black-armored iron cavalry of the Great Qin Dynasty were under his command when they attacked Chu in the south. Now, Lu Bu would give up this part of the Qin soldiers who followed him, as if they were cutting his heart with a knife. But if the army continued to stay here, it would attract the siege of the main Huns at any time. With the power in Lu Bu's hands now facing hundreds of thousands of Hun riders, it would really lead to the destruction of the entire army!

"Let me do this, let Ji Wen bring these injured soldiers with the half of the Hetao terrain map we have drawn these days back to the Qin Dynasty to join General Meng Tian. The Xiongnu tribes on the way have been slaughtered by us. As long as we continue to reveal our whereabouts, the Xiongnu attention will be attracted by us. In this way, these soldiers who follow us to fight bloodyly avoid the next marching, and first report the terrain map we have in our hands to General Meng Tian, ​​so that General Meng Tian can understand some of the terrain of Hetao." After thinking for a while, Lu Bu finally decided to divide his troops into two groups and give the injured soldiers a hope of life.

When Zhong Liping heard this, he let out a breath of turbid breath with relief. When he heard that the thousands of robes had hope of survival, Zhong Liping could let go of his worries.

"Let Ji Wen and the injured soldiers return to Daqin by themselves, and the rest of us must set off immediately. We only drew half of the maps in Hetao Land. To complete the task assigned by General Meng Tian, ​​we must travel a round trip around the Hetao Plain. Next, we may enter the real hinterland of the Huns in Hetao. While the color is not yet dark, we set off immediately. If the transportation is done well, we can even complete the reconnaissance mission of the Hetao Plain before the main forces of the Huns have reacted, so that we can start back to Daqin from another road."

Lu Bu knew that his army was about to enter the Wuyuan County in his memory, which was the most abundant area in the Hetao area. The Huns were very likely to set up their tents there, and the main Huns that had never appeared in the Hetao Plain was also very likely to appear there. To complete the detection mission of the Hetao Plain, even if they knew that it was a dragon pond and a tiger den, Lu Bu had to take a group of Qin iron cavalry to break through!

If you want to know what happens next, let’s see if you don’t cry and then break it down again~~~~
