Chapter 12 Is there blood?
Half a month later, all the scouts sent out came back, giving Lu Ning a rough understanding of the basic situation within the 600-mile range.
More than ten counties in Yanmen County were basically occupied by Xianbei tribes at this time, including the Tuoba tribe and the Murong tribe. The Murong tribe only has five or six thousand people, and its military strength is estimated to be three or four thousand people. The Tuoba tribe is a large tribe, with two or thirty small tribes under it, and the total military strength should be more than six or seventy thousand.
Around Lu Ning's base camp, within a radius of 400 miles, there are nearly twenty horse thieves of all sizes, with only a few dozen people small, and six or seven hundred people large. If all of them are included, they will probably be close to tens of thousands.
The horse thieves closest to Luning Mountain Village were on Xiaoyang Mountain, more than 40 miles east. There were more than 300 horse thieves. This group of horse thieves pose a great threat to the mountain village. They had long had the heart to annex Li You and the others.
After hearing this, Lu Ning thought for a while, and said to Li You and the others with a smile: "Since that's the case, let us eliminate them first and let the scouts tell us about the geographical and terrain of Xiaoyang Mountain."
A few days later, the reconnaissance came back. While the scout was introducing the situation, Lu Ning listened while looking at the map and figured out the situation, Lu Ning said to Li You: "Don't regret it, let the brothers rest early, we will act tonight."
Li You said excitedly: "It's the lord."
At the third update, Lu Ning led 150 healthy soldiers to set off, and other 50 soldiers with minor injuries were stationed at the base camp. Lu Ning asked his subordinates to kick the horse and put all the horse's mouths on the cage to avoid making noises.
At about the fourth day of the morning, Lu Ning led his team to a group of only three or four miles away from Xiaoyang Mountain. Lu Ning asked the soldiers to dismount and bring their weapons and equipment, leaving twenty soldiers to guard the war horses, and the rest followed Lu Ning up the mountain.
While Lu Ning used the infrared glasses brought from later generations to observe all the targets around him. Once he found a guard, he would be sent to kill him before the other party could find out.
It was only more than 200 meters away from the opponent's camp. Lu Ning saw four guards patrolling next to the door in his glasses, two in front and two in a little later.
Lu Ning turned his head and whispered to Li You: "No regrets, there are four patrol guards in front of you. How many of you should take over them and clean them up. Be careful to have a clear division of labor. Each person is responsible for one. It is best not to make a sound. In this way, most of our troops can penetrate their camp."
Li You took four soldiers there, and Lu Ning was watching them with his look glasses. When Lu Ning saw them killing the four guards with bows and arrows, he thought to himself, Li You, the group of snipers he chose to train is really good.
Lu Ning waved his hand back and led the soldiers to run towards the enemy camp slightly. When they met with Li You and the others, Lu Ning used his glasses to observe in detail to see where there were secret guards, but the result was that there was no one.
Lu Ning immediately divided his subordinates into several groups, surrounded the enemy accommodation, and then kicked open the door together and rushed in quickly. Lu Ning's soldiers held bows and arrows, and some held big swords in their hands, subduing the enemy.
Although several people stood up to resist at first, they were quickly killed. In addition, it is almost the fifth day of the day. That is when people are sleeping the most and when people are most relaxed in their defense. Most of the enemy soldiers were captured before they could make any reaction.
Of course, several enemy leaders did not surrender, and Lu Ning had no choice. Lu Ning didn't dare to let them go. Wasn't that burying landmines for himself, so he beheaded on the spot.
This time, Lu Ning's sneak attack was caused by zero casualties, killing thirteen enemies, capturing 372 horse thieves Xiao Louluo, seizing a large amount of food, weapons, armor, bows and arrows, as well as some gold, silver, and copper coins of the Han Dynasty. More than 430 war horses were seized. This battle was really a lot of money.
It was dawn, and Lu Ning asked someone to bring the 372 captured people over.
Lu Ning glanced at the prisoners with a stern look and shouted majesticly: "My name is Lu Ning, Lu Ziyi, I know that most of you are from hard-working. I want to advise you not to be horse thieves anymore. How about going with me to eliminate the barbarian tribes such as Xianbei and Xiongnu? Let our people have a stable and united production and living environment, protect our people from being hurt by the barbarians, use our swords to speak to the foreign tatars, let our swords wash their souls blood and make them pay back their blood debts."
Lu Ning's words were shocking, which shocked all the prisoners and the people under Li You. They all thought inside, who would be a horse thief? It's because of hopeless life, forced by life, and forced by court. If you can really beat foreign barbarians, it would be great to steal the things of the Tartars, would you dare?
Lu Ning glanced at everyone and said loudly again: "Do you think I'm talking big and nonsense? The Tartar cavalry is extremely cruel. What can I do with my 100 brothers? But what I want to say is that as long as I stand for a day, I will always fight with the Tartars for bloody battles and never compromise. We are the people of the Han Dynasty. Are we still afraid of the Tartars? Back then, did the two generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing sweep the Hun camp? General Huo Qubing only brought five thousand Han cavalry in the first battle and also wiped out the Hun royal court! Are you all cowards? Are you weak people?"
After hearing this, the soldiers under Lu Ning were excited and were in high spirits. They raised their sabers and shouted: "Put the Tartars and return them to peace!" The shouts were deafening.
After hearing this, Li You was excited and scolded the prisoners angrily: "We were like you, and we also bullied the people everywhere. Now we know that we are wrong. Now we are all following our lords to fight against the Xianbei, the Huns and other barbarians. We want to avenge them. Most of you should be hunters like me. You are a farmer. We can no longer do bad things that have been scolded by our ancestors. We must be real men."
Lu Ning said: "If you are willing to follow me to kill the barbarians, you will go to the left and you will go to the right."
The captured horse thieves look at me and I see you, they are all fighting thoughts. It’s better not to prepare to go to the left, or to the right, but one thing is known. You will definitely be safe when you go to the left. Will you go to the right? I don’t know what the consequences are?
As the first person walked to the left, the captured horse thieves moved their feet, and most of them chose to go to the left. There were only eight little horse thieves standing there alone on the right.
Lu Ning walked over and said to them, "You really don't want to follow me to fight the Tartars. This is my only chance to atone for the people. If you think about it, there will be no birds crying after missing this mountain."
After hearing Lu Ning's words, three more people ran to the left, and five others remained indifferent.
Lu Ning sighed, turned to Li You and said, "Cut it."
