Chapter 694: The Huns Are Not Extinct(2/2)
The tents of the Khitan tribe were burned with rockets by the prepared enemies. The camp was filled with smoke and fire. The enemy's arrows covered the sky and shot Khitan scouts on the periphery!
"Sure enough, someone secretly attacked Xiao Siwen's cavalry unit. Damn, the tribes of the Khitan tribe follow me to fight!"
Yelu Xiuge led the Khitan cavalry to attack the incoming enemy.
Two cavalrymen fought against the outside of the Khitan tribal camp.
The rain of arrows in the sky was like locusts falling. The cavalry on both sides drew out their sabers and charged towards each other. The war horses galloped, and the swords, horses and rifles collided!
Although Yelu Xiuge's cavalry was very good at fighting and was a surviving Khitan veteran and had considerable combat effectiveness, he was still at a disadvantage in the face of unknown enemies who were far more people than him.
Moreover, Yelu Xiuge discovered that this unknown cavalry had a combat power that was no less than that of the cavalry he commanded. Among them, the elite cavalry and sharpshooters among this unknown cavalry were even more combat power than the cavalry he commanded!
"Can they be the cavalry commanded by Wanyan Aguda himself?"
Yelu Xiuge speculated that if this was Wanyan Aguda's forces attacking the Khitan tribe, then it must be the cavalry led by Wanyan Agu himself that could show a higher bonus to the cavalry troops than Yelu Xiuge.
Few other Jin generals could surpass Yelu Xiuge. After all, Yelu Xiuge is a first-class cavalry hero in the Khitan tribe. Ordinary Jurchen generals are not opponents of Yelu Xiuge. Even excellent Jurchen generals are mostly just equal to Yelu Xiuge.
"No, Wanyan Aguda should be in a tug of war with the Liaodong Army at this time, and it is impossible for him to go deep into the south of the desert to attack our Khitan tribe. Furthermore, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom only came to the Khitan tribe for a few days, and Wanyan Aguda could not come to the Khitan tribe in person in just a few days and launch an attack. Could it be that other nomadic tribes launched an attack on us?"
When Yelu Xiu Ge thought of this possibility, and this possibility was not small, his face couldn't help but change.
If it was really other nomadic tribes, the consequences might be extremely tragic. The Khitan tribes might be wiped out in this battle and will be removed from the list.
"I am responsible for cutting off the rear. You lead the tribe members to retreat to the direction of Monan Longcheng and inform them of this news that an unknown cavalry attacked our tribe!"
Yelu Xiuge witnessed the huge number of enemies coming, with at least tens of thousands of cavalry. He knew that the Khitan tribe was in crisis again, so he asked several other Khitan generals to lead the tribe's tribe's tribe to migrate to the Monan Longcheng to the west.
The Khitan tribe has declined many times. If it is hit hard again, it may disappear from now on.
Without being sure to defeat the other party, Yelu Xiuge must consider protecting the tribe's tribe members, and the tribe cannot be destroyed in his hands.
"Capture the Khitan tribes and capture all the Khitan population for our purposes!"
On the periphery of the Khitan tribe, a cavalry leader commanded tens of thousands of cavalry to encircle and suppress the Khitan tribe where Yelu Xiuge was located.
The disappearing Xiao Siwen became a prisoner of the cavalry leader and was forced to follow the cavalry leader.
His face turned pale because he already knew the origin of this cavalry. The cavalry leader was not inferior to Yelu Abaoji and Wanyan Aguda.
Even Yelu Xiu Ge is likely to be no match for him.
The cavalry leader looked at the Khitan tribe camp that had become a sea of fire, and was unmoved. Instead, he turned to Xiao Siwen and said, "Xiao Siwen, you and your Khitan tribe should serve me, and I will make you king. And you only need to join my army, defeat powerful opponents for me, expand your territory, and build a great empire."
"Impossible, you don't know the strength of King Xia of the Han Empire. If Temujin's powerful enemies are defeated by him, you will also face the same failure as Temujin, and you will never be able to recover."
"Then I really need to see how powerful King Xia of the Han Empire is. This prairie should belong to us, not King Xia's pasture."
"The prairie, those with strength live there. Today you have captured me, and King Xia and my daughter will avenge me. You are the one who is in trouble."
"Are you threatening me?"
The cavalry leader's eyes showed a fierce look.
Xiao Siwen refused to answer.
He knew that the cavalry leader would cause trouble for Chutian's forces sooner or later conflict with Chutian's forces. In other words, his daughter would avenge him sooner or later.
There were at least tens of thousands of unknown cavalrymen. They surrounded the Khitan tribe from all directions. Arrows were raining and fire spread across the Khitan tribe. The Khitan tribe was in an unprecedented crisis.
Yelu Xiuge led the last cavalry of the Khitan tribe to delay this powerful enemy and gain time for the Khitan tribe to transfer.
Yelu Xiuge is also worthy of being a legendary hero of the Khitan tribe. Under his leadership, the Khitan cavalry fought bravely and fought with the enemy.
The enemy burned their new camp and angered the Khitan cavalry!
Many Khitan cavalry just wanted to graze well, but were targeted by the enemy. The enemy in front of them wanted to conquer and enslave the Khitan tribe, so the Khitan cavalry had to fight to the death!
Because of the heroic resistance of Yelu Xiuge and the Khitan cavalry, the enemies who attacked the Khitan tribe did not get much benefit, and there were thousands of dead on both sides!
Blood stained the camps of the Khitan tribes red, and contrasted with the sea of fire.
"General Yelu, we are waiting for you in Monan Longcheng!"
The Khitan generals who were transferred in advance looked red. Yelu Xiuge bought time for them and might die under the attack of unknown cavalry.
This unknown cavalry has too many troops, and its elite level is even higher than that of the cavalry led by Yelu Xiuge.
The ability to come to the enemy has exceeded that of Yelu Xiuge, and has reached the level of Yelu Abaoji and Wanyan Aguda.
"If I were still alive, I would definitely meet with you. If there is no time to hesitate, you can leave quickly."
Yelu Xiuge drew his sword and fought again with the unknown cavalry who were chasing him.
The population of the Khitan tribe was able to be transferred because of the desperate battles of Yelu Xiuge and the Khitan cavalry. However, under the interception of the other party, many Khitan tribes were still robbed, just like the Liaodong Legion swept the Korqin grassland, and the Khitan tribe lost a group of people again.
"The courage of capturing this Khitan general is worthy of his life and serving me!"
The cavalry leader discovered that Yelu Xiuge fought bravely, and Yelu Xiuge's cavalry also had strong combat capabilities, so he became loving talents and wanted to include Yelu Xiuge in the account.
More and more cavalry surrounded Yelu Xiuge, a Khitan cavalry, and his companions died from the opponent's rain of arrows. Yelu Xiuge was a little hysterical, but he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and bonus to the cavalry and was not the opponent to the enemy at all.
There are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven!
The enemy's target seemed to be capturing Yelu Xiuge, so he did not shoot Yelu Xiuge, otherwise Yelu Xiuge would have been shot and killed by the opponent's sharpshooter who was good at riding and shooting.
A cavalry came to Yelu Xiuge, but Yelu Xiuge blocked the spear with a long sword, and then Yelu Xiuge killed the opponent's cavalry!
However, the number of cavalry on the opponent was too large. An enemy who looked like an opponent's general waved his ring-headed sword and confronted Yelu Xiuge. The huge impact made Yelu Xiuge's tiger mouth numb.
When Yelu Xiu Ge was in pain, several cavalry came to siege and stabbed Yelu Xiu Ge with spears. After more than a dozen rounds, the enemy's generals finally successfully captured Yelu Xiu Ge.
At this time, the entire Khitan tribe had become a sea of fire. The enemy's cavalry plundered the entire tribe, captured tens of thousands of people, and transported the spoils back to his tribe. Yelu Xiuge became a prisoner and could only watch the enemy's camp of the Khitan tribe, but he was powerless because his life was difficult to protect himself.
"Mr. Shanyu, as you told me, I will successfully capture this person."
"Youxian King, your contribution will increase your population by 1,000."
The cavalry leader seemed to be very satisfied with the results of the battle.
"Xiao Siwen, I didn't expect you to fall into their hands. I should have thought that this was not Wanyan Aguda's cavalry, but the Huns' cavalry!"
When Yelu Xiuge heard the titles between them and the clothes of the enemy, he quickly realized that these people were not Jurchens, but the Huns. There was a big difference between the Jurchens and the Huns.
"That's right, this grassland in the north of the desert and the grassland in the south of the desert should be the pastures of our Huns. Temujin and the Han Empire stole this land. Soon, I will use my strength to reconquer this grassland and retake the land that originally belonged to us Huns."
The cavalry leader was ambitious. In his opinion, this land was a pasture given to the Huns by God, rather than a battlefield where the Han Empire competed with Temujin.
"I don't know who you are among the Huns, but the Han Empire has the King of Xia, and is not a person who is easy to mess with. If you destroy our Khitan tribe for your ambitions, I will not serve you."
Yelu Xiuge had a deep sense of identity with the Khitan tribe. The Xiongnu Khan's behavior of looting the Khitan tribe angered Yelu Xiuge, so Yelu Xiuge had resentment towards the Xiongnu Khan.
"If you don't serve me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"A real man does something, but he doesn't do anything."
"You are as stubborn as Xiao Siwen, but sooner or later you will surrender to me, because I will soon defeat the King of Xia of the Han Empire and reoccupate this vast pasture. Come and withdraw your troops!"
After attacking the Khitan tribe, the Xiongnu Khan knew that Chu Tian’s troops deployed on the southern desert grassland would be likely to encircle and suppress it, so he carefully avoided the troops of Chu Tian’s forces. He still needed time to accumulate strength before he dared to take the initiative to launch a comprehensive attack.
The power of the Hun tribe gradually formed.
Fortunately, the man named Lu Su was not in the tribe at this time.
Yelu Xiuge was relieved when he thought that Lu Su was still outside. Lu Su and Yelu Xizhen went to find the disappeared Xiao Siwen. As long as they did not fall into the hands of the Huns, they might soon find reinforcements to rescue the captured Khitan tribe.
If the Khitan tribe is all plundered by the Huns, the strength of the Huns will greatly increase, which is really not a good thing for the Han Empire.
"Totally burn everything here without leaving anything."
Before the Xiongnu Khan left, the Xiongnu cavalry carried out the final scavenging of the Khitan tribes and completely razed the Khitan tribes' camps to the ground.
Shortly after the Hun cavalry left, Lu Su and Yelu Xizhen led the cavalry back to the Khitan tribe, and saw thick smoke rolling over the tribe camp from afar.
"No, the enemy attacked the Khitan tribe!"
Lu Su suddenly understood.
Now Lu Su has basically confirmed that an unknown cavalry had sneaked into Xiao Siwen's cavalry squad. Now more cavalry attacked the Khitan tribes, and their purpose is likely to be to annex the population of other tribes, just like they annex the surrounding tribes.
According to this logic, the nomadic civilization that attacked the Khitan tribes was likely to be the Hun cavalry from the northern desert.
Because according to the report of Prince Yan who managed Mobei and Di Qing, a powerful Xiongnu cavalry was gathering in the area of Langjuxu Mountain in Mobei. The number of this Xiongnu cavalry may have accumulated to a scale of 100,000, which is extremely terrible. Di Qing may not have achieved any benefit from it when fighting with him. It can be seen that his leader is not a person who is easy to mess with.
Based on the connections, Lu Su quickly guessed that the Huns were the ones who were secretly active. The Huns were once the master of this grassland, which gave the Han Empire a headache for hundreds of years. Since the Warring States Period to the Western Jin Dynasty, the Huns cavalry have been active on the grasslands in the north. They were the earliest grassland overlords, so they should not be underestimated.
Understanding the connection, Lu Su immediately sent someone to notify Liu Hu and the cities in the south of the Mo, reminding the lords to be careful of being attacked by the Hun cavalry. The Hun cavalry was obviously gathering troops and intending to expand their territory.
For the Huns, losing the grassland is an eternal pain in their hearts.
It is also important for the Huns, the Dragon City, which is a holy land, so they may attack these places. In case of precautions, they must be prepared.
"No matter what kind of Huns attacked our tribe, they would only have a dead end to provoke our Khitan tribe!"
Yelu Xizhen led the cavalry back to the Khitan tribe and found that the population of the tribe had been dispersed, and many people died in war or were captured by the Xiongnu Khan, which made Yelu Xizhen angry and embarrassed.
In the East and West, the lords were having headaches for the Huns. These grassland overlords and their descendants still roamed everywhere, attacking cities and villages everywhere, becoming a threat.
Lu Su and Yelu Xizhen went to Longcheng, Monan. At this time, the two sides had no idea of negotiations. Instead, they prepared for the Hun cavalry. Lu Su even went to St. Petersburg in person and asked Chu Tian for instructions.
"Let Li Mu return to the south of the desert."
