Chapter 369

War is a result of no suspense. It cannot even be called war, it is just one-sided killing.

A small village with less than 500 people was not needed to take action. It was as easy as the Qin army crossed and crushed a bed bug to death. The Huns were very brave, but when faced with the Qin cavalry armed to the teeth, they were fragile and no different from women and children.

Except for the tongue left on purpose, all the people in the village died. From the elderly to the children, no one could survive in the rain of arrows in the sky. There was no contact at all, and people and animals were lucky.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Wei Huo closed his eyes. He was a general, but not a cruel person. Killing the enemy was his duty, but just now, in order not to leak the news, he chose the most correct way, which was to kill these Huns.

This is the cruelty of the war. He forced a person who was originally kind to kill and become a butcher. Since Wei Huo joined the army, he fought against Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others. All he killed were soldiers, each for his own masters, without any psychological burden. Now that he has killed these Hun people, especially the elderly and children, his heart has softened.

In order not to make himself soft-hearted, he remembered the people of Daqin who were captured and the women of Daqin. They originally wanted to have children for Daqin and contribute to the increase in the population of Daqin, but now they have become playthings under the Huns.

"Sweep the battlefield. Take back all the bows and arrows. Dig a big hole in the body and bury it. Dig another big hole, bring some food in the village, and slaughter the animals on the spot, dig the pit and freeze the good meat." Wei Huo looked at the vast grassland around and ordered.

Some people don’t understand why they should lift the meat of these horses, cattle and mutton to freeze. Wei Huo understood that his purpose was to go north and find the Huns’ nests. The food he brought was not enough. If he wanted to persist in his destination, he had to plunder all the way to fight to support the war.

The most important thing is that if they really succeed in attacking the rear of the Huns, it will definitely attract the attention of the Huns' army to this team of people. At that time, they will lead the Huns' team from the grassland to escape a thousand miles away. Froze these meats and return to serve as the supplies they store, and be prepared for any trouble.

Wei Huo drew a triangle on his sheepskin map, indicating that there was a place where food was stored.

After doing these things, he didn't care how his subordinates killed cattle and sheep, or where the dead Huns were buried. He gave a direct order and found a military secretary who knew the Hu people's language. He walked together to the elderly Huns who had long been kneeling in the snow and had their upper body stripped naked.

"Ask him, where is the Huns' nest? Is there a city built by the Huns on this grassland?" Wei Huo said to the translator beside him.

The general translator said the words, his attitude was very bad. The remaining old Huns rolled their eyes. Although they were trembling in the cold wind, they seemed to have no intention of fear of death.

Seeing the hatred and cruelty in the old man's eyes, Wei Huo knew that he was wrong.

There is nothing to ask about this old man. Because his family and his tribe are dead, he is the only one left in the world. He has no worries. People who have no worries and no seeking are the strongest. The so-called "no desires" means strong, which is the truth.

Looking at Tongyi's brows and roaring at the old man with anger, it was exchanged for the ruthless rolling eyes and spitting a few mouthfuls of spray from the old Huns. Wei Huo sighed and turned around and left.

Before leaving, he gave the old man to Tongzhi and asked Tongzhi to execute the old guy.

Tongzhi was very happy to hear it. He just asked the old man if there was a castle or something behind the Huns. Not only did the old man not answer, he also cursed a few words in words he couldn't understand. He was so angry that he was so angry.

The outcome of the old Huns can be imagined.

After burying the people and beef and mutton, Wei Huo asked the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty to tear down all the tents of the Huns and buried them all.

When dismantling the Huns' tent, the soldiers discovered the gold, silver and jewelry of the village. In the largest tent, there were half a wooden box, filled with gold and silver.

Wei Huo did not stop the soldiers from sharing the gold and silver. After all, he did not put his head on the belt and went to the grassland to look for the Huns. He had the idea of ​​earning military merits and robbing treasures in his mind. He did not deny that there were also contributions to the country in this era, but there were too few. At least Wei Huo believed that his cavalry was willing to come out with him in order to be able to plunder on the grassland.

As a general, you can't let the thoughts of all the soldiers. This village was won by a thousand-person team. The half box of gold and silver will be divided by the thousand-person team.

Wei Huo had already issued a military order. When he arrived on the grassland, he encountered the Xiongnu villages and destroyed them in order. Whoever destroyed them would belong to the gold, silver and treasures. So the other nine teams did not compete. They were eager to meet the next village of the Xiongnu.

Wei Huo was also eager to meet the next village, so he had to ask if the Huns had a fixed city. He did not believe that all Huns made a living by hunting.

On this prairie, Wei Huo keenly felt that there must be a city of the Huns hidden.

After the army handled it properly, set off again.

It has been a few days since they entered the grassland. If they did not meet the Huns again, they might have to go back, otherwise they would starve to death on the grassland.

Just as Wei Huo and others set off, not far away, a Daqin sentry probe came again on horseback.

"General, there are five Huns riding horses in front of him. It seems that they are going to the group that has just been destroyed." The whistle detective took the horse's reins and said breathlessly.

Wei Huo's face, which was frozen and a little numb, instantly showed a wonderful expression.

"No matter who they are, they will be captured alive this time. Lin Xin dispatched the army to hide his movements. I will bring a few people to capture them in person." Wei Huo was afraid that the soldiers under his command would accidentally kill all the five new Huns. He decided to take his people to capture a few Huns himself.

In order to prevent the Huns from escaping, he ordered a general to take five hundred people and detour to block the five people's retreat. He led ten elite knights of the Qin Dynasty to leave the brigade and rush forward.

On the grassland, it was too difficult for a team of ten thousand people to hide. Fortunately, the grassland here was not flat, but with huge slow slopes. When Wei Huo led a cavalry to the top of the slow slope, he saw the five Hun knights riding horses below the slow slope. It was far away and very small.

The general had already taken five hundred people to detour. After waiting for a while, these five Huns would be surrounded by the Qin cavalry and could not escape.

"I want to catch the living, you guys should be careful." Looking at the Huns who gradually became clear, Wei Huo rushed down the slow slope while warning the knights beside him.

The five Hun knights in the distance had already seen Wei Huo and others. The five men did not retreat, but instead rode horses to meet them. (To be continued.)
