Chapter 385: Mount Tai's Top Attack

Juyanze is a giant lake with a length of three or four hundred miles and a width of hundreds of miles. One or twenty miles south of the giant lake is the only dirt city in the Juyan vassal state. The dirt city is not big, but this is the only hope for two or three thousand people. However, the hope of the Yuezhi people was shattered. The city was full of corpses, and the not-so-thick city wall also collapsed two or three feet of hole.

Walking among countless corpses, a heart-wrenching crying sound attracted Dong Xiaoyi's attention. He saw a girl less than ten years old crying desperately in her arms holding a corpse, and instinctively walked forward...

"What's going on?"

Dong Xiaoyi just asked, and the next moment he waved his hand again. His powerful big hand picked up the girl in the waist and walked out of the city with a cold face. He didn't care at all and patted his little hand. However, his other hand took out a piece of black brown candy from his arms and stuffed it into the crying girl's mouth, but the girl spit it out in one mouth...

"This is war, cruel and bloody."

Dong Xiaoyi casually said something Dong Hu said, and Zhang Xiong, the left deputy general in the army, stepped over.

"Battleman, we have killed a total of 472 people in battle, seriously injured 328, slightly injured 616, and found millions of cattle and sheep, more than 60,000 horses, almost more than 100,000 pieces of swords, bows, arrows, armor, etc., and gold, silver and copper coins have not been counted for the time being. It is estimated that there should be more than 100,000 yuan..."

"These Hu people are quite fat!"

After Dong Xiaoyi handed over the crying girl to a personal soldier, he couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhang Xiong say this.

"Yi Conghu, Huangzhong, was a mercenary of the Han Dynasty. After saving over the years, more than tens of millions of dollars are missing, but it is cheaper for us!"

"Ha ha……"

The generals all laughed to the sky. As for the loss of 10% of their combat power, they didn't care at all. It was inevitable that they would die or suffer some casualties when they went to the battlefield, but as long as they won the final victory.

The generals laughed, and Dong Xiaoyi knocked Zhang Xiong on the chest twice with a horse whip.

"The injured brothers stayed and put away the ashes of the dead brothers in battle and let them wait for the baggage camp behind. We cannot give the enemy any chance to breathe. We need to go south as soon as possible! Half of the captured horses, and you will take two thousand brothers to chase Wuyuan camp immediately. We will take the remaining brothers to take back the three counties of Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Zhangye."

Zhang Xiong pounded his chest hard.

"promise!"

Zhang Xiong did not stop and turned away with several generals. Dong Xiaoyi did not look at the girl who was still staring at him fiercely, but looked towards Dichi (Minle County) in the south. He knew that it was the direction to the Hehuang Valley...

The war started almost at the same time. Dong Chi led only 5,000 cavalry into Xiu Tuze. Compared with the Xiaoyuezhi where more than 10,000 people remained in Juyanze, there were fewer people in Xiu Tuze Lushuihu left behind. Like the Xiaoyuezhi people living in Juyanze, Lu Shuihu did not expect that a group of butchers dyed with blood would suddenly appear in the north. They were almost one-sidedly slaughtered. Five thousand cavalry roared in. Wherever they passed were dead bodies, less than a thousand people in Wuwei and Xuanwei cities, which should have been a strong line of defense to stop the enemy. Dong Chi only took one day, except for hundreds of Han slaves, women and children survived. All the white-skinned men, including the white-skinned slaves, were ruthlessly cut off their heads.

He believed that Yanze went south 500 miles, and the weak water divided into two branches east and west. He could directly enter the "Lufu" city of Jiuquan Prefecture, along the east branch river. From this, he went west to Yumen County, and then there was a Baili Mingze Lake. Two hundred miles west of the lake was Dunhuang. Two hundred miles west of Dunhuang was Yumen Pass, and hundreds of miles southwest of Dunhuang was Yangguan, Yumen Pass, and Yangguan was the boundary of the Western Regions Changzengfu.

Go south along the Ruoshui River, you can directly enter the capital Lufu City of Jiuquan, along the Xizhi River. Following the Dongzhi River, you can pass through the three cities of "Huishui, Biaoshi, and Zhaowu", it is the capital of Zhangye County, and then to the east is Wulan, and Didan.

The four counties of Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei can be said to be the gathering places of Xiaoyuezhi and Lushui Zahu. Not only the Yuezhi people, the Western Regions Zahu, but also the Qiang people, clans, Di people scattered from the Hehuang Valley, such as the "Biaoshi" city, the Zhaowu Jiu surname in Zhaowu City, the Di people in Dichi, such as the Xianqiang and Xiutu in Wuwei County. Just from the name of the city, you can roughly know who are in these places.

Perhaps the Han Dynasty did not feel anything about these people, but Dong Hu didn't have much affection for them. Many of these Mihu people followed Han Sui to Hanyang County. When they were empty, Dong Hu would not be polite. Dong Gu was the leader of the Beihe Qiang tribe. He personally led ten thousand cavalry along the east branch of Ruoshui to slaughter the Yuezhi, Zahu, Qiang, Di, and Dong Xiaoyi whom he saw led seven or eight thousand cavalry to the west. However, Dong Hu's military order to Dong Xiaoyi was slightly different from Dong Gu. Dong Gu's military order was a death order! It was a massacre that destroyed all! Even if the entire Zhangye and Wuwei counties were turned into three Hetao counties, they would be willing to do so. They would be slightly softer to Dong Xiaoyi's military order. Anyone who did not surrender or anyone who resisted would be slaughtered. But as long as they surrender and bowed their heads, they could accept and treat them well.

The reason why Dong Gu and Dong Xiaoyi issued different military orders was mainly because there were too many miscellaneous Hu in Zhangye and Wuwei, while Dunhuang was adjacent to the Western Regions Chief Envoy's Mansion. He could use the excuse of "rebellion" to slaughter bloody, but this could not allow the Western Regions Hu to see his cold-blooded and ruthless, which would not be of great benefit to operating the Western Regions in the future. However, in Zhangye and Wuwei, he could be even more cold-blooded, ruthless and bloody. He also had enough reasons. After all, the Han Dynasty took in these miscellaneous Hus, but they rebelled with Han Sui.

At the same time as Dong Gu and Dong Xiaoyi went south to Juyanze, Dong Chi led 5,000 cavalry to enter Xiutuze, which also allowed the entire Liangzhou to relive the cold-blooded, ruthless, bloody and cruelty of Dongbu Yicong. At the same time, Erya led 5,000 young cavalry from the Xihai Ten Thousand Treasures, and Sanya led 30,000 elite troops in Hehuang Valley to take advantage of the chaos in Zhangye County, and killed the Great Dou Bagu in one fell swoop and slaughtered the Qiang and Di in Dichi County.

At this time, the Hehuang Valley was not the Hehuang Valley seven or eight years ago. At this time, the Hehuang Valley, there were more than 200,000 excellent war horses in the Datong River alone. These war horses are no worse than the war horses in the Western Regions. Qinghai, Datong River, and Dedan war horses are taller and more explosive than the mountain war horses in the southern and northern deserts. Compared with Dedan war horses, Qinghai and Datong River are both higher altitudes, with stronger heart and lungs, more endurance, weight-bearing, and coarse materials. They are no less than the mountain hordes in the southern and northern deserts. Their comprehensive performance is worse than the mountain hordes in the southern and northern deserts. The only place that is not as good as the top war horses in the western regions is that the sprint explosive power is slightly weaker.

Two hundred thousand Qinghai, Datonghe horses, Erya and Sanya personally led 35,000 elite troops into Dichi. In the early years, the infantry became elite cavalry. With 30,000 elite Hehuang Qiang cavalry joining, the four counties in Hexi are even more bloody.

Erya and Sanya have received Dong Hu's letter of decisive battle, and they have brought 30,000 to 40,000 people into the grasslands on the southern foot of the Qilian Mountains. They have been waiting for news from the four counties in Hexi in the Datong River Valley Grassland. Daya also stationed a hundred Lintao generals on the west side of Laoya Gorge, and led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to the east side of Yunwu City.

Da Ya is far more mature and steady than Er Ya. Even if her husband, who has been separated for several years, did not forcibly kill Lao Yaxia at the first time. Like Huangfu Song, she needs to wait for a suitable opportunity and wait for the chaos in Yunwu City...

The four counties in Hexi were the first to break out in war. In February when the ice and snow were about to melt, Dong Buyi took the lead in launching a thunder attack from tens of thousands of troops. Yuezhi, Lushui Zahu, Qiang, Shi, Di... The rebellious Han people were unable to resist. Under the waves of crazy slaughter, they either ran along Lingju and Yun Street to Jinchengsai, or opened the city gate and crawled on the ground, hoping that the enemy who emitted a strong smell of blood would give mercy.

Countless people fled to Jincheng Pass. Dong Hu led 30,000 to 40,000 infantry and cavalry. It took half a month to fight along the Yellow River to Yuzhong. The warriors and the city garrison Liang Xing did not expect that he would come at this time...

"How did you kill the damn tiger baby?"

"What the hell is going on-"

Liang Xing, the guard general of Yuzhong, was furious, but no one answered him. He hurriedly walked in. It was neither someone else, but Zhang Heng, who was also from Wuwei.

"Liang Xing, you and I must abandon Yuzhong immediately..."

Before Zhang Heng could finish his words, Liang Xing pulled out the sharp blade from his waist and pointed at Zhang Heng in anger.

"My lord wants you and me to defend the city. Who dares to escape before the battle... I will kill him first!"

Liang Xing's anger instantly aroused Zhang Heng's dissatisfaction. Both of them were from Wuwei and defected to Han Sui at the same time. The relationship between them was quite good, but now he pointed his sword at him...

"snort!"

Zhang Heng pointed outside, his face full of anger.

"Liang Xing, no matter how disdain Dong Hu's ability, you always know Yan Xing's ability? But Dong Hu defeated Yan Xing with a thousand cavalry--"

Zhang Heng was furious, Han Sui, Yan Xing or other rebel Qiang people, when talking about Dong Hu's name, they often used mutton soup, Lintao children, tiger widows, etc. These people do not eat mutton soup, in Wuwei County... or in Liangzhou, there are probably few people who are willing to eat strange-smelling cattle and sheep internal organs, but Dong Hu can make a living, so they will naturally be looked down upon. In addition, some rebel bosses talked about each other, they used belittlement titles, not only Liang Xing, but even Ma Teng, who became the prince of Liangzhou, as long as he was a young general, the sudden rise of generals often did not care too much about Dong Hu.

The Liangzhou people have such a temperament. No matter who you are, as long as you don’t fight, they are not convinced. This is not that the Liangzhou people are blind and do not see what Dong Hu does in Bingzhou, but that Bingzhou is a little far apart and does not feel the pressure from Dong Hu in person. At least they will not feel too much pressure psychologically. In addition, Dong Hu’s battle to defeat the Huns was a trick. Not only did they coax and deceive and regain the emptiness of Hetao counties, but they also defeated the Huns in one fell swoop when the Huns in Shangjun and Xihe Huns went to war. The Liangzhou people felt more about Dong Hu’s words of “treacherous” rather than how brave and good at fighting.
