People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 147 Raid Camp
In less than half an hour, the city completely changed hands, the battlefield was cleaned, the prisoners were collected, and finally after an inventory.

There are only a few thousand people in this city, and the defenders are even less than a thousand.

If they are prepared, close the city gates, and then rely on the city walls for defense, it will not be easy to take down.

After all, Li Wenhou only had five thousand cavalry in his hands, and he lacked siege equipment.

But relying on the enemy's light and our own darkness, it was easy to capture a city gate, and this time Li Yan played an important role.

Under his leadership, a hundred cavalrymen dismounted and fought on foot, relying on their horses to disperse and divide the enemy army, and then blocked the attack of hundreds of people with 100 men, and successfully defended the city gate.

Killing more than a hundred enemies, his own casualties are only a handful, but it is a pity for those more than 100 horses.

They are all war horses and can form a hundred cavalry, but they are all dead now, but at least the dead ones are still very valuable.

Just after Yicong cavalry broke into the city, many Qiang people still wanted to resist, but after Li Wenhou appeared, this kind of resistance became negligible.

Anger is naturally still angry, but apart from anger, they feel a little wronged.

Some of them have met Li Wenhou, and some have not met Li Wenhou, but they have all heard his name and are in awe of his fame.

As a result, Li Wenhou personally led his troops to beat them, and many Qiang people no longer had the courage to resist, and in the end they chose to capture them with nothing.

Now that Guiyi City has been obtained, the river bridge has been obtained, and the road leading to Xiaoyu Valley has been opened, it is time to pursue the victory immediately.

Li Yan and hundreds of Yi Cong soldiers were left to stay in the city and guard the prisoners, while Li Wenhou took the rest of the people to the other side through the river bridge after a short rest.

This river bridge is actually a chain boat. Walking on it is wobbly, and you can even hear creaking, which shows that it has not been maintained for a long time.

After crossing the river, the army assembled again. Taking advantage of this moment, Li Yao began to talk about his own thoughts:

"Father, soldiers are precious and fast. Now that the enemy is open and we are in the dark, it is better to go directly to the chieftain of Shaodang. If the Qiang people disperse, they will be the people, and if they gather together, they will become soldiers. At this time, the chieftain of Shaodang should only have a few thousand guards. As long as he can capture the chieftain of Shaodang in one fell swoop, tens of thousands of households of Shaodang will be able to surrender easily!"

When Li Wenhou heard this, he also nodded. He was deeply convinced of what Li Yao said. Instead of fighting all the way there, it is better to go straight to Shaodang Chieftain. This is to capture the thief and capture the king:
"Ah Yao is right. As long as we can catch Mikang, we will win this battle. Otherwise, if he summons more Qiang soldiers, it will be easy to cause twists and turns!"

At this time, Li Yao spoke again, his voice seemed a little dignified:

"First there was Ling Qiang, and then there was Shao Dang Qiang. They surrendered and rebelled, and rebelled and surrendered again. They have been entangled with the court for hundreds of years. If you want to really subdue them, you can't simply force them, otherwise you will rebel sooner or later. My father is already famous. After capturing Shao Dang as the chief, don't underestimate him, don't insult him, and show more importance and sincerity. Maybe there will be better results. We want to subdue all the Qiang people. It is also an example, it is all for the sake of accomplishing great things, I hope father can think twice!"

At this time, Li Wenhou frowned. He and Shaodang Chief Mikang had known each other for many years, and their relationship was not bad.

But I'm afraid it's really not easy to get the other party to voluntarily surrender. In the end, I just said:
"Let me think again!"

Seeing this situation, Li Yao did not continue to persuade, but let Li Wenhou think for himself.

His idea is also very simple, the main thing is to pull in when it's time to pull in, and hold up when it's time to hold back.

As long as the chieftain of Shaodang surrenders, he can annex the Shaodang Qiang as quickly as possible without bloodshed, and then coerce people and horses to attack other ministries.

Without the support of the imperial court behind them, neither the soldiers nor the logistics are very sufficient. It is difficult to really fight for a long time. All they want is one word - fast!

In the early days of starting a business, it was not easy!
As long as the other party agrees to surrender, and then gradually empties it, annexes and subdues those low-level Qiang people, until the chieftain becomes nameless, there is no chance of rebellion.

Soon the army was assembled, and the three armies of Yi Cong still stood in three square formations. At this time, Li Wenhou ordered:

"The army is leaving!"

Immediately, the army set off. This vast grassland is really suitable for galloping horses.

They didn't stop all the way, even if they encountered a gathering place of Qiang people, even if they saw herds of cattle and sheep, they still didn't stop, and went straight to Chief Shaodang.

Night falls!

Big Yu Valley, the core territory of Shaodang Qiang, has camps here, and in the largest tent in the middle, the chief of Shaodang, Mikang, is eating dinner, a leg of lamb, and a chop of lamb. There are several strong men around him, all of whom are warriors of their clan, and they are also Mikang's generals. In front of him are five Qiang women, who only use sheepskin to cover important parts, and are constantly dancing their bodies.

Everyone ate, drank, enjoyed singing and dancing, and talked and laughed wantonly, completely unaware that the crisis had quietly approached.

All of a sudden, there was a sound of shouting and killing outside the camp, and it continued to come from all directions, as if thousands of troops were attacking.

The five Qiang girls screamed in fright, the strong men were at a loss and all looked at Mikang.

Mi Kang was also puzzled, how could the enemy come here suddenly, but he shouldn't think about it at this time, his heart is uncertain, and he wants to escape temporarily, but the property is here, and he doesn't know how many enemies there are.

Someone hastily said:

"Patriarch, an enemy is coming, what should we do?"

Mi Kang got up directly, his face was full of anger, as the patriarch, he must not show timidity:
"Follow me out of the account and prepare to call the clansmen to fight back. Our families are all here, and our property is all here. We must not allow the enemy to kill and plunder!"

Seeing Mi Kang's posture, those strong men also had a backbone, and they were all eager to fight, and they seemed to dare to fight in the face of this situation.

They strode out of the tent, first summoned the guards outside the tent, and soon there were hundreds of people around Mi Kang.

With hundreds of guards, Mi Kang became more courageous, and then shouted loudly:

"Gather to me, gather to me..."

These shouts were still very effective, and a large number of scattered Qiang soldiers gathered on their own initiative.

However, these shouts can attract scattered Qiang soldiers, and they can also attract the real enemy tonight. Many left and right cavalry in black armor, as well as Yi Cong soldiers in red armor, all rushed towards Mikang's position.

One side has armor, the other side does not have armor.

One side is well prepared, while the other hastily responded to the battle.

The result is obvious, no matter how many Qiang soldiers were drowned, even Mi Kang was also captured.

　The protagonist is to swallow elephants with snakes, a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and a large number of people who control strings. Indeed, only war can quickly accumulate
