Chapter 0998 After the Han Dynasty(1/3)
It is indeed very cruel.
The desperate Huns and Xianbei, driven by their cavalry, kept crying and rushing towards Tieling.
"Those who cross the line will be killed without mercy!"
Although the Wei troops on the ridge were shouting angrily, the surging crowd seemed to have lost their minds.
Even if the people in front are unwilling to cross the boundary, the people behind will push them forward.
Sima Huan saw clearly that the Shu captives planned to use these barbarians to consume themselves!
But even if he knew the other party's vicious plan, he had no choice but to do anything.
Soon, someone crossed the line.
"put!"
After hesitating for a moment, the arrows flying all over the sky finally shot down from the mountain.
The first group of barbarians were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
Their encounter did not stop the people behind them, and they continued to rush towards the ditch below the mountain ridge regardless of the situation.
The channel had long been blocked by the Wei army, and temporary barriers were built as checkpoints.
I saw that the barbarians were still desperate for life and death and wanted to break through the barrier.
The Wei troops on the mountains on both sides of the ditch finally stopped holding back and arrows rained down.
At the same time, the Wei army inside the barrier also began to take action.
Suddenly, arrows rained down from above, making it difficult to move forward.
The Hu man fell down to an unknown extent in an instant.
At the foot of the mountains and in the ravines, there were groans, screams, calls for help, and cries.
Such a tragic situation made the handsome man in the northern Xiongnu's eyes burst with tears.
At this time, he finally understood why the thief let him back.
They just want to use themselves to gather their tribesmen, and then force their tribesmen to break through the barrier for them.
Now the tribesmen are trapped between the thieves and the mountains, with obstacles in front and iron hoofs behind, making it impossible to advance or retreat.
If one side does not retreat, the tribesmen will suffer endless casualties.
This is to push your tribe to a dead end!
"So cruel, so poisonous!"
The northern commander of the Huns shouted repeatedly, knelt on the ground, with tears streaming down his face, and shouted, "God, please save your people!"
Compared to the Huns commander who could only pray to heaven, General Guan, the instigator of all this, had a calm face and was not moved at all by the miserable situation of the Hu people.
This is a battle between two armies, either an enemy or a friend, there is no third party.
These barbarians chose to serve the Wei thieves and prevent them from going south, so they were enemies.
Since they lost, they must have the consciousness of being losers.
The winner has everything, including controlling the fate of the loser.
They should now ask the other side why their master did not accept them.
Rather than expecting mercy from the enemy at this time.
The first group of barbarians finally retreated after leaving the corpses and wounded on the ground.
Sima Huan's face was ashen and he did not relax at all.
Because he knew that this was only the first wave.
But to his surprise, as soon as the Hu people retreated, part of the Shu captives' cavalry in the rear immediately started running again.
The leader of the Shu captives had eyes that could see through distant battlefields and accurately control the battle situation at the front.
Sima Huan frowned, feeling a layer of pressure in his heart.
It's just that he didn't have time to think too much, because the second wave of barbarians caught up again...
For a whole day, General Guan did nothing but force the barbarians to break through the pass.
This made Shi Bao feel a little anxious.
"General, by tomorrow, the news about the Wei bandits in Jinyang will reach Luoyang and Chang'an. By then everyone will know that we want to cross the river from the east of the river."
"The Wei thieves will definitely send reinforcements by then. We have to find a way to capture the pass as soon as possible."
At that time, he first stayed in Yecheng. Later, due to the pressure of life, he sold iron from Yecheng to Chang'an.
I am very familiar with this area of Hebei.
Know how long it takes for these places to communicate, exchange news, and then react.
Therefore, in his opinion, this dangerous place was not controlled before the Jinyang Wei thieves reacted.
Instead, he rested in Jiuyuan County, allowing the Wei thieves to arrive at Tieling half a day earlier than he did. It was really inappropriate.
The journey from here to Jiuyuan is closer than that to Jinyang, and since all of our troops are cavalry, we can arrive at least one day earlier than the Wei thieves in Jinyang.
Guan Ji's face was calm and she just said "hmm".
At this time, I only heard the guard coming to report:
"General, the Huns want to see you."
How can General Guan be in the mood to meet some Huns?
"not see!"
The guard had just turned around when he suddenly heard the general change his tone:
"Bring him here."
"Here."
As soon as the commander of the Northern Xiongnu entered the commander's tent, he immediately knelt down, walked on his knees in front of General Guan, prostrated himself on the ground, and begged:
"Honorable sir, please take the sake of my tribe, who were once the people of the Han Dynasty, please give us a way to survive!"
General Guan had no expression on his face and looked at him indifferently:
"When I led the army south, I didn't see that your tribe had the consciousness of being a great people."
"It was my fault, sir. It was really my fault. We should not have listened to Wei Thief, and we should not have stood in the way..."
The northern commander of the Xiongnu raised his head. His face was covered with dirt and grass clippings because of the tears streaming down his face and his prostrate posture. He knelt down and took two more steps, trying to pull off the general's shirt.
Who knew that General Guan's eyes flashed coldly, and he said angrily: "Bold!"
His right leg kicked out subconsciously like lightning, hitting the northern Huns handsome man in the chest.
The Northern Commander was caught unawares and rolled out of the tent without even taking a breath.
He felt that his eyes were going dark, and after struggling a few times, he was like a dying fish on the shore, unable to turn over.
That is to say, when General Guan kicked him out, he withdrew some strength in time, otherwise he might have vomited blood and passed out on the spot.
Someone came out of the commander's tent and commanded condescendingly:
"The general said that after you go back, gather your clan members together and obey orders at any time. When the time comes, the general will consider letting your clan members live."
When the Northern Xiongnu commander heard this, he didn't know where the strength came from. He immediately turned over and thanked him again and again:
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
On the second day, General Guan gave the order to the Northern Commander of the Xiongnu, that is, let Hu'er of the Xiongnu continue to rush through the pass.
This order completely shattered the hopes of the Huns' northern commander.
Obviously, it was impossible for the Han people to let go of their own people without rushing down the mountain pass in front of them.
The only difference from yesterday is that it is better to take the initiative on your own than to be forced to do so by others. At least you can have some time to breathe.
Sima Huan, who was guarding the mountain pass, naturally felt the change.
He quickly understood that it seemed that the Hu people's commander was already planning to defect to the Shu people.
It's just that for him, there is not much difference whether the barbarians rush through the customs in an organized way or unorganized.
It was impossible for him to let these barbarians pass through at this critical moment.
When he saw that once or twice, the Hu people just rushed to the pass and shouted a few times, then immediately turned around and ran back, he even wanted to laugh at the Shu generals:
Rather than join forces with the barbarians, it is better to drive them out directly like yesterday!
General Guan across from him put down his telescope, his face becoming more and more indifferent:
"Let the Hun commander come to see me!"
The thoughtful Xiongnu commander immediately broke into cold sweat on his forehead when he learned that the Han general wanted to see him.
He came to a small slope that was used as a temporary podium and saluted with some trepidation:
To be continued...
