Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 634
After dawn the next day, Lao Zhu really led 200 people disguised as herdsmen to graze nearby. It seems that Lao Zhu has never done this kind of work, but now he is riding on a horse and waving a whip. What a difference.

Gongsun Ran led his subordinates to ambush early on, and Gongsun Xu also deliberately ordered the army to retreat, and all the tents were removed. This kind of trick to lure snakes out of the cave, pay attention to camouflage, so that the enemy must not find any flaws.

The cold winter has not left yet, and this time is indeed the time when food and grass are in short supply in all parts of the grassland. Whether it is the herdsmen or the livestock, they are all hungry for the winter. Moreover, the livestock are all starved and thin. It is a difficult problem to raise more livestock when they are bred in spring.

Thousands of cattle and sheep are eating grass leisurely on the grassland. If there is no war, this scene may seem very peaceful. Lao Zhu is grazing with his subordinates. He is not at ease when others come. This can be regarded as Gongsun Xu himself. He must complete the tasks assigned to him.

"Boss, what should we do when someone comes to rob the livestock?" A soldier approached Lao Zhu and asked, "These bastards are probably going crazy with hunger, and they will definitely fight us desperately."

"I just want them to come." Lao Zhu said with a smile: "To be honest, I haven't figured out yet whether the warriors in the canyon are warriors from our tribe. For the sake of it, it is better for me to follow orders.

Keep your eyes open later, don't blame me if you accidentally lose your life, listen, if someone really comes to snatch the livestock, don't go up and fight hard, just drive the cattle and sheep.

Do you know how to get rid of it?Hey, try to disperse the herd of cattle and sheep, and then look for opportunities to escape, don't let the enemy catch up, and the rest is out of our control, understand? "

"Understood, leader, you just run away later." The soldier was also loyal, and he still knew that his mission was to protect Lao Zhu.

"I know this myself." Lao Zhu nodded and said, "However and whenever I run, I will take good care of myself. It would be great if I could get hurt a little more, hehe."

The rest of the people were puzzled when they heard this. No matter who went to the battlefield, they hoped that they would not be injured or suffer minor injuries. Why did they think about getting injured the first time they came out to do errands?Really strange.

Outside the canyon, the noise of the flocks and cattle had already reached the ears of the soldiers in the valley, and the soldiers on the mountain had vaguely seen the flocks and cattle.

These Xiongnu soldiers were really hungry and crazy. After the whole winter, they had to stick to their posts every day, and every meal was distributed according to each person. If it wasn't for the consideration of keeping some sheep and cattle for breeding in the spring, They may have eaten all the food available in the army long ago.

There were only 1000 soldiers and more than [-] horses left in the original army of [-] cavalry. The rest of the horses were either frozen to death or slaughtered and stewed. Who told them that they hadn't been sent back for almost three months.

"Livestock sent by Changshengtian." In the canyon, the leader of the Xiongnu army summoned his subordinates and said, "Come with me and capture all the cattle and sheep. These are given to us by Changshengtian."

After speaking, more than 2000 sergeants rushed out of the valley. Those with horses rode on horses, and those without horses relied on two legs.The eyes of these Xiongnu soldiers were bright. Once they were hungry, they would not be afraid of anything. Even if there was an enemy army in front of them, they would go to snatch cattle and sheep.

The defenders on the mountain peak also came down to participate in the ranks of robbing the livestock. They also wanted to get some benefits. If they went late, they would definitely have nothing.

Seeing groups of Xiongnu soldiers running out of the valley, the scouts immediately conveyed the news to Gongsun Ran, who was a few miles away. It's a little way.

"It's done, my lord has indeed caught the enemy's weakness." Gongsun Ran said with a smile, "Come on, follow me."

A thousand cavalrymen all got their weapons on their horses and rushed towards the valley under the leadership of Gongsun Ran.At this time, the Huns who had rushed out of the valley had already approached Lao Zhu.

When they saw groups of cattle and sheep grazing, these soldiers went crazy. They all held ropes, or went up to catch the sheep with bare hands.

After Lao Zhu deliberately cursed a few times in the distance, he immediately attracted the hostility of these Huns. More than 500 people came to them again. .

Before the two sides fought each other, Lao Zhu commanded his subordinates to retreat. In the melee, Lao Zhu bravely killed the enemy, but the number of enemy troops was too large, so he was wounded and retreated in the end.

These Xiongnu soldiers did not chase too far, after all, driving cattle and sheep into the valley was their primary task.Earning so many cattle and sheep for nothing today, these soldiers of the Xiongnu Army were crazy about it.

However, the joy of the Huns did not last long. When he saw that Lao Zhu had retreated and the Huns were out of formation, Gongsun Xu immediately commanded [-] cavalry to besiege the enemy from three directions.

Because Lao Zhu and others deliberately dispersed the cattle and sheep in the chaos, the mountains and plains were full of running cattle and sheep, and the soldiers of the Xiongnu army were all panting for breath.

The sound of horseshoes beating on the grass came, and the leader of the Huns realized that something was wrong, but he had no way to stop it.Three thousand cavalrymen came besieging from three directions, but all the soldiers on their side shuttled through the herd thoughtlessly.

"Come back quickly, come back quickly and line up." The leader of the Xiongnu army shouted: "The enemy is coming, come back to me."

"I am the leader of the Antelope Tribe. Do you have a warrior from my Antelope Tribe among you?" Old Zhu rushed forward and shouted: "All the warriors from my Antelope Tribe come here. They are our own people. Don't mess around."

"Ah, it's the leader, it's the leader." The chaotic soldiers of the Huns ran like flies on their brows. When Lao Zhu announced his home, more than three or four hundred soldiers of the Huns immediately shouted.

They are indeed the warriors of the antelope tribe. They have always wanted to leave this canyon early and go back to the tribe, especially in winter when they don't have enough food and clothing. These ordinary soldiers miss their families.

However, it was their leader who personally ordered them to fight with Shan Yu. Although Shan Yu did not fulfill his promise to let them go home on time, they still continued to carry out the orders of the leader and Shan Yu.

"Boss, boss, it's us, it's us." The more than 300 cavalrymen ran up to Lao Zhu and said, "Boss, why are you here? Are you here to pick us up? You're here, boss... ,,,,"

Seeing the chattering clan warriors, Lao Zhu suddenly shouted: "Shut up, all of you, what's the matter with you, why didn't you go back on schedule, why are there only you and the rest?"

Everyone was scolded and didn't dare to speak, Lao Zhu pointed to one of the men and asked: "Coyote, what's the matter with you, you are the commander of a thousand, why are you wearing the leather armor of a centurion now, I want you to lead the army When you come out, you actually hang around here and refuse to go back."

"Ah, leader, that's not the case." The soldier named Coyote quickly replied: "Leader, didn't you order us to continue guarding here?

Not long after we came here, all the troops were disrupted and reorganized, and even I, the commander of a thousand, was reassigned. As a result, I was a commander of a centurion here for a few months.

You are here, leader. We all want to go home. You don’t know how hard we have lived this winter. We are worried and frightened every day, and we don’t have enough food and clothing all day long. It’s the same as what Shan Yu promised us at the beginning. None of them were fulfilled. "

"Damn, all my subordinates have been disrupted and reorganized?" Lao Zhu scolded: "No wonder I can't see a familiar officer. It turns out that all my people have been demoted. Listen, they are all dismounted now." Squat on the ground and don't move around, who are you in command, are you one of us?"

"It's Shan Yu's confidant." The hyena quickly replied: "After all of us were disrupted, we were fully formed, and many brothers were taken away, and then many strangers were inserted in.

In the end, this guy came to command us. This guy said all day long to be loyal to Chanyu, but he always enjoyed our rations. In the end, he got rid of the livestock and war horses we brought. Today, he came out to grab cattle and sheep, brothers. Most of them run out, and if they run slowly, there will be nothing. "

"Treat my subordinates as human beings." Lao Zhu scolded angrily: "They are all squatting in place, useless things, being bullied to such an extent that they don't know how to resist, why did I raise you bastards? .”

"Boss, isn't this your order?" The coyote squatted on the ground and said, "It's not like we haven't resisted, but many people have been killed, and there are many faces around us, maybe one of these people There are eyeliners they put in, we dare not mess around,,,,,, "

"What, the people who killed me?" Lao Zhu said in disbelief: "I sent weapons, warriors, cattle, sheep and horses, and they actually killed my people? Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, how can I swallow this breath?" ah."

Lao Zhu is angry with his old subordinates here. The battle in the distance is coming to an end. These Xiongnu troops who have been starving for a whole winter do not have much fighting power left. In addition, they were busy robbing cattle and sheep before. A lot of physical strength was consumed, so Gongsun Xu divided the enemy army almost effortlessly.

After recruiting most of the enemy troops, Gongsun Xuming surrounded more than 600 people who were still stubbornly resisting.

"Old Zhu, do you have any of your own people?" Gongsun Xu asked, "Go and see if you recruit them."

"The last general has asked." Old Zhu replied, "Most of these are close friends of the Xiongnu Shanyu, look, my lord, the bracelet in the middle is from Shanyu's personal guard, if you want to recruit him to surrender, I'm afraid it will take a lot of talking.

"That's right, no wonder." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "Among all people, they have better armor and weapons. At least everyone has horses, and their reaction speed is not slow. Humph, since you can't surrender, then Kill them all."
