Destiny Only Han

Chapter 556 Liu Ying: Thousands of Miles to Help the Prince of Han!

In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, Mangmang Taihang is shrouded in a vast expanse of whiteness. The whole mountain is covered with silver, as if wearing a crystal garment, shining brightly in the sun.

There are more or less white snow scattered on the cliffs, the forests and dead grass in the mountains, and the evergreen pines and cypresses in all seasons are more vibrant against the cliffs.

Together with the morning fog, there are rime everywhere, which makes people feel like falling into a fairyland.

It's just that this kind of scene is a grand scene for literati and inkmen, but it is not so good for the shepherds of the tribes such as King Lan and King Dingling who stayed in the mountains and valleys.

There was another light snowfall in the river valley yesterday. Although it was not heavy, it covered the withered grass on the ground tightly. This was fine for sheep and horses, but it was a bit difficult for cattle.

After all, cows can't use their front hooves to dig snow, and they don't have front teeth, so they can't eat grass by rolling their tongues...

Therefore, this required these shepherd slaves with less than a thousand people to go to the distance to dig snow and collect fodder all night without sleep.

But in this way, they have no time to take care of the horses and sheep that remain here.

Well, flocks are meat on the move, after all the Huns don't go to milk and honey after death, or a world full of birdmen...

What is important is that the ecology of the Taihang Mountains during this period was excellent. There were not only large beasts such as tigers and leopards, but also wild wolves in groups. Although the shepherds here would light fires around the valley at night, the howling of wolves The sound still resounds through the mountains and valleys every night.

The flock is easy to manage. They are relatively honest and don’t like to run around very much. Even when they are attacked by tigers, leopards and wolves, they will only trot for a few steps, and then, trembling with courage, gather together to watch their companions being eaten alive by predators...

So just tie up the head sheep and light a fire around it to scare off some predators.

But horses are different. This kind of big animal not only eats a lot, has poor digestion ability, but also can run, and has great strength. If you don’t pay attention, you will break free from the rope and run in front of the wolves or tigers, and directly send the horse’s head in anger. ...

Fortunately, King Lan and the others did not bring too many ox carts with them this time, so the herdsmen were busy all night, and finally collected enough fodder to feed the cattle for two days.

They then focused their work on caring for the horses.

After a full morning, they gathered together the horses that were full of food and drink and basked in the warm winter sun, tied the leading horse with a tripping rope, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to catch up on sleep. After night fell, they scattered around the valley again , light a bonfire, drive away the beasts...

However, at this moment, the ground began to tremble, snow fell from the branches, and above the peaks on both sides of the valley, black battle flags fluttered in the wind. The bottom black banner.

It's just that these Xiongnu and shepherds don't know how to read and don't know what this flag represents, but they know the big characters on other flags.

漢！
The battle flag of the Han army!
Chinese name!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of drums rumbled through the sky, and countless knights of the Han army appeared on both sides of the valley, waving the battle flags of the Han army, and their armor shining brightly.

With the blessing of the telescope, the scouts of the Han army can monitor every move of the Huns from one or two kilometers away, and this is something that the Huns' naked eyes cannot do anyway.

Therefore, Liu Ying made perfect dumplings once in this river valley tens of kilometers north of Pingcheng County.

A moment later, the Huns and herdsmen were tied up and still standing aside. After a brief panic, the herds in the river valley lowered their heads again and gnawed on the weeds in the snow.

Liu Ying rode her horse slowly, covering her nose with a handkerchief to resist the stench of livestock's body odor and excrement, but her eyes were crescent like crescents.

After all, there are more than [-] horses, and there are many horses with strong bodies and slender limbs!
So beside him, Zhou Bo laughed out loud, jumped off his horse, and caressed the buttocks of those tall horses...

Round and firm, he couldn't put it down...

Damn it... Liu Ying couldn't help but rolled her eyes, turned her head to the other side, and then saw Han Xin with the same obscene smile on her face.

It's just that Han Xin's smile has a bit of retribution in it!
Just imagine, this is just a "logistics base" for the Huns, but there are more than [-] horses, and there are countless fat and strong war horses!

So how many Huns should be besieging Liu Bang?
You must know that the tactics that the prairie people are famous for are riding on horseback and constantly harassing the opponent until the opponent shows a flaw, then charge in groups, tear the gap, disrupt the enemy's formation, and annihilate the opponent in the pursuit!

Therefore, judging from the number of horses here, the Huns besieged Liu Bang with hundreds of thousands of troops!
And Liu Bang has only [-] infantry!
Ha ha!

See if you die this time!
Han Xin looked at Liu Ying who was looking towards him, and raised his eyebrows proudly, almost congratulating you on being crowned emperor...

Without knowing it, Liu Ying raised her eyebrows happily at Han Xin.

Now the official and private horse farms of the Han Empire are blooming all over the place. The rich people in Guanzhong have opened the chain of contempt decades in advance, and they are ashamed to ride mares. Therefore, the price of smaller grassland horses has dropped year after year, and now it is only more than 4000 yuan. About the price of a male slave.

But I can't stand the large number seized this time!
One hundred thousand horses, even if the average price drops to [-] yuan a horse because of the centralized listing, that is [-] million yuan!

Three hundred million dollars!
Liu Ying had to clear out the goods in two warehouses in order to exchange so much money!
Although he has dozens or hundreds of such warehouses...

But after all, facing this kind of wealth that can't be seen at a glance all at once made him a little excited.

Therefore, in order to avoid shrinking wealth, he planned not to transport the captured horses to Guanzhong for sale, but to release them at precise locations.

For example, those pioneers who are preparing to immigrate to the Ningxia Plain.

The soil layer of the Loess Plateau is loose, except for weeds that are difficult to control, there are not many large stones, so horse plowing comes in handy!
After all, the fundamental reason why many places are not suitable for horse plowing is that there are too many stones, and horses move faster than cattle. When people find that the plow touches the stones, it is already too late, and they can only watch the horses with excitement dragged the plow across the rocks, and then went to a blacksmith to repair the coulter with a crying face...

When Liu Ying was thinking about how much land could be reclaimed in a day with [-] horses, Zhou Bo, who was annoyed by touching the horse's buttocks and was almost kicked to death, finally remembered to do business. He found two translators , began to interrogate the captured prisoners.

After a while, Zhou Bo became more and more excited.

"Your Highness, I am overjoyed!"

"Where does the joy come from?"

Liu Ying crossed her arms and took a half step back, away from the horse-crazy demon on the opposite side...

A hurt expression flashed across Zhou Bo's eyes, and he said in a low voice:
"I've asked, they are the Huns Lan's King, Dingling King, and the tribes of the most important households. In order to prevent the 'Bombing Thunder', they chose to ambush His Majesty on foot in the valley in the south of the mountain..."

Well, Hong Tianlei is Sky-Changing Monkey, just like the people of Ming Dynasty called their shoddy "rockets" as Shenhuo Flying Crow, Fire Dragon Out of Water, etc., Liu Ying also gave Sky-Changing Monkey a domineering side missing name...

Hearing Zhou Bo's words, Han Xin froze suddenly, and the sweet smile on his face disappeared.

What about Mouton?
What about the main force of the Huns?
What about 30 yuan for string control?
At this moment, Han Xin's whole body collapsed, the light in his eyes disappeared, and his whole body became somewhat dispirited...

How much Liu Bang has, he knows very well that if he is only facing the siege of tens of thousands of Huns, it is not enough for Liu Bang to overthrow the army and kill the general.

After all, in Xingyang back then, Liu Bang shrank within the solid city defenses, and faced Xiang Yu's attack of several 10 people, he fought very well and did not fall behind!
Therefore, Han Xin looked at Liu Ying with a bit more resentment.

Can't the four-wheeled carriage be used only for simple transportation of goods, and it is necessary to heighten and strengthen the carriages to form a car array?
shameless!

But Liu Ying didn't realize it, with an excited face, he keenly sensed that there was something in Zhou Bo's words.

The Huns dismounted and ambushed Liu Bang?
In other words, the Huns over there are now all infantry!

This is Yanmen County. The mountains are covered by heavy snow, and there are many mountains. Most of them are 1.5 meters to 1.6 meters tall. The Huns who have become crooked because they grew up on horseback have lost their horses at this time...

Well, although the Huns ate meat and drank milk, their productivity was low after all, and they were hungry and full every day. The little food needed to be eaten by adult men to ensure that they had plenty of physical strength to fight at all times, so those who were in Adolescents don't have enough to eat, so they naturally don't grow taller.

After all, grassland people prey on the weak and the strong, without the protection of adult men in the tribe, women will become other people's slaves, and men who are taller than wheels will have their heads cut off...

So Liu Ying got on her horse and said, "Leave 5000 people to guard the herd of captives, and the rest will go to the rescue with the orphans! If even one enemy is let go in this battle, it will be a shame for our lives!"

Behind him, Jin She, who also looked excited, waved the command flag, and the messenger blew the horn for assembly.

And the first ones to respond were the Rongdi cavalry who cursed why the Huns and herdsmen didn't resist...

Then, in the black line on Liu Ying's face, the old Rong Di beat the horse like flying like crazy, yelling to death, um, save him...

..........................................

White Mountaineering.

Liu Bang stood on a small soil bag and looked north, his face full of expectation.

Not only him, but even the soldiers of the Han army who were guarding the edge of the car formation with long guns had the same expression.

The reason is very simple. They heard the drums of Liu Ying's surprise attack.

After all, the straight-line distance between the two sides is only a few tens of kilometers. Although Wangshan ran to death, the sound transmission in the empty valley was enough to convey the news that the reinforcements were nearby.

"I don't know who came..."
