Chapter 102 The End of the Road
Yanmen, the ground is full of snow, and snowflakes are still flying down.
The entire Yanmen is covered with ice and snow, covered with silver, and is full of enchanting spirit in its majesty.
At this time, Yanmen was no longer as deserted as it was when it first snowed, but was very lively, with many people coming and going, coming and going.
The city of Yanmen is the most lively. There are not ten thousand people around there, and thousands of people are not a problem. The people stand on tiptoe, stretch their necks, and look ahead with curiosity.
In front of them was the Han army, the Han army was in the process of training. The Han army had tens of thousands of people, with Han sword hanging on their waists, bows and arrows on their backs, horses riding, spears on their hooks, and armor. The red uniform was particularly conspicuous, and the red helmet tassels swayed in the cold wind, like the feathers of a rooster.
Arranged in neat formations, at first glance, there is a red tide, which is exciting.
The people of the border have a 100% favorable impression on the Han army. First, the border troops are all border people, which makes them close to each other. Furthermore, the Han army has just won a great victory, and its favorability in the people's minds has doubled.
"Okay! OK!" Looking at the mighty and majestic formation of the Han army, the people cheered in unison.
Zhou Yang rode the Fengchasing Baojiao and surrounded by Li Guang and his generals, he came to the front of the formation. He looked at the Han army and was very satisfied with their purge.
Zhou Yang is the commander loved by the soldiers. His arrival is tantamount to the warm sun in winter, making the Han soldiers full of passion, all of which are raised and raised their heads, extremely excited.
Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi saw it and were very envious. They were famous generals and knew very well what this meant to the generals, which meant high morale. With high morale, there would be an indomitable army and victory.
Some people are born with this temperament that inspires military morale. Although Zhou Yang has a surprising understanding of war, he is not a genius. At least Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi did not discover this temperament when they first met Zhou Yang. After so many battles, Zhou Yang has changed, and this temperament is slowly being developed.
Great commanders have this temperament. No matter whether they are born or tempered by the battle formation, it is precisely with this temperament that they can become great commanders.
"Brothers: It makes people happy after winning the battle, but the Huns will not die in our joy!" Zhou Yang began a pre-war speech: "The death of the Huns requires the use of our sword to cut off the heads of the Huns! We defeated the Huns and achieved a great victory, but we have many problems. The biggest problem is that our riding skills are not as good as the Huns! If our riding skills can catch up with the Huns, no Huns can escape."
In this battle, the Han army suffered losses because of riding skills. Otherwise, Li Guang would have occupied the Great Wall. The Huns called the Great Wall a sheep pen of the Han people. If the Han army occupied the Great Wall, it would be like closing the gate. It was not the Han army or the Huns who were locked in the sheep pen, and they would not even think of running away.
The Han army knew about this and agreed with it very much.
Zhou Yang continued: "If we want to cut off more heads of the Huns and to make the Huns more painful, we must practice riding skills. Do you have confidence?"
"have!"
Although the answer is only one word, it is full of energy and awesomeness, which shocks the snowflakes in the sky.
"I, order you to practice riding skills!" Zhou Yang waved his right hand.
"rumble!"
The sound of hooves sounded like thunder, and the Han army began to gallop.
This flat land is the one with a slightly lower terrain. In addition to its low terrain and easy accumulation of water, it is indeed a good place to train cavalry. The terrain is open and flat, which is conducive to cavalry galloping.
The Han military control galloped like a surging red tide, and the snowflakes splashed from horse hooves were flying, which was a wonder.
Looking at the galloping Han army, Cheng Bugui couldn't help but pick up his beard and looked Xin Wei sighed: "For decades, the Han Dynasty has been looking forward to a cavalry that can gallop across the board. Today, we finally hope for it!"
"Yes! In the past, we were worried about not having a horse, but now, we were worried about not having anyone!" Li Guang was also full of emotion.
The two of them were in the north for a long time and fought with the Huns for life. They knew the importance of cavalry. Cavalry was the biggest shortcoming of the Han Dynasty. In order to build cavalry, they tried every means and racked their brains, but they had little effect.
Now, tens of thousands of cavalry gallop in front of them, how excited they are. Although these Han troops are not real cavalry, their cavalry is far from real cavalry. However, as long as they take time, they will definitely become real cavalry.
"When they practice riding skills, we can send troops to Hetao." Feng Jing was also deeply moved.
The strategic position of Hetao is very important, but it is quite far from the north. If you want to take it down, you need cavalry. Therefore, after Zhou Yang decided to take action against Hetao, he ordered a group of people from the 100,000 Han troops to train them into cavalry.
The biggest difference between the Han army and the Huns is that they have many arms and equipment. Unlike the Huns, they only have one army and cavalry. In addition to training cavalry, all Han army must learn to ride horses. Even if they are afraid of stance, they must master good riding skills.
Who told the Han army to turn over? Now it is different from the past and has seized so many war horses?
The Han army galloped continuously, and wherever they passed, there were messy snow and snowflakes flying, which was extremely spectacular.
"Zhao Ponu, is there any news about the great hero of the opera?" Zhou Yang rode on the Fengchasing Horse, looking at the galloping Han army.
"Report to the Grand Marshal, there is not yet." Zhao Ponu replied: "Li Zhuangshi and the others rushed to pick him up. Don't worry, the Grand Marshal, there will be no problem."
Since the decisive battle, Ju Meng chased into Mobei, and there has been no news yet. Zhou Yang is not worried about his safety, but wants to know the result of his pursuit.
With Ju Meng's peerless skills, it is almost impossible to threaten his safety. Thinking about how thrilling it was when Liu B was defeated and chased him thousands of miles away. Liu Bian worked hard for many years and had many dead soldiers on the Internet. Although he was defeated, there were still many masters around him. It is unknown how many dragons and tigers were fighting for Ju Meng's pursuit. It is in such a situation that Ju Meng killed Liu B alone and left alone, which was so surprising.
"Send more people to investigate the movements of the Huns. Especially the life and death of the Shanyu, we must find out." Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows.
The Shanyu has not yet known his life and death and his whereabouts are unknown, which is really hard to rest assured.
"Don't worry, Grandmaster, I have sent a lot of people." Zhao Ponu knew the importance of this matter.
Zhou Yang nodded slightly and stared at the galloping Han army. In this way, Zhou Yang began to train the Han army and prepared to capture Hetao in full swing.
As soon as Emperor Jing's order arrived, the Han army could raid Hetao for a long distance.
The scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away, and snow falls thousands of miles away. Looking around, there are white snow everywhere, a silver world.
The north wind roared, rolling up the flying snow all over the sky, with three million broken scales and armor, which was spectacular.
"Bor!"
In the north wind, a slight sound of footsteps came, and a man was walking in the snow, one foot high and one foot shallow. The snow in the desert was not as deep as Yanmen, but as thick as half a foot. Every step he took would leave a deep footprint.
This man was extremely tall, thin, pale, scattered hair, big eyes were unemotional, dull, gray, close to the eyes of the dead.
The fur coat on his body was torn and almost turned into pieces, and could only cover his body. When the north wind blew, he couldn't help but shivered, his teeth hit each other, making a "grand" collision sound.
When I walk, my steps sway, as if I am floating. This kind of floating is not because of the joyful ejaculation, but because my body cannot bear it and cannot support it. It seems like I am drunk, swaying around, and finally I can't stand it and fall to the ground.
"Bang!"
I fell to the ground and splashed a scoop of snowflakes, which looked very beautiful.
The man fell to the ground with his hands on his back, and his hands were not allowed to move in the snow. He wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up for a long time.
If Zhou Yang was here, his eyes would definitely smash a big hole in the snow. This person turned out to be Junchen Shanyu.
Not only Zhou Yang, but Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Feng Jing, Qin Wuhui and others who had met Junchen Shanyu would definitely faint when they saw Junchen Shanyu at this time.
Who would have thought that the Shanyu, who was a dignified Xiongnu, was like this, with a broken bone, and looked terminally ill and dying. He was a man with great skills and could not get up on the ground.
Who would believe this if you tell me?
The current situation of Junchen Shanyu can only be described in four words as "the end of the road".
In spring, the military minister Shanyu was full of energy and led the Hun army, saying that he would invade Chang'an and marry Princess Nangong in Weiyang Palace. In autumn, when he set out from Longcheng, he led an army of 500,000, and vowed to avenge his revenge and kill Zhou Yang. How long did the Shanyu, who was fierce in the dragon spirit and tiger, ended up like this now, which made people sigh.
It can only be said that God will make people foolish, things in the world are unpredictable, and the changes between good and bad are so fast!
"Ahem!"
Junchen Shanyu coughed loudly, opened his mouth wide, and spit out black things instead of phlegm.
The filth that was spit out was black, like charcoal, in sharp contrast with the white snow.
He sat up with his palms on his back. Junchen Shanyu looked at the black filth on the ground, felt disgusted, grabbed a handful of snow, and sent it into his mouth. He chewed it, swallowed it, and then took it again and again, as if he had recovered some strength, and finally stood up.
I calmed my mind and looked up. The snow was flying in the sky and the sky was gloomy. If it were in previous years, the Junchen Shanyu, who was sitting in the tent of the king, enjoying the delicious mutton and drinking the hot horse's breasts.
And now, he ended up like this, alone, without even a personal guard.
I gritted my teeth and stepped out. After ate snow, my strength recovered a lot. I walked more steadily and stopped wandering like that. Step by step, a lonely footprint extended northward.
It was already very miserable that the Tauman Shanyu was defeated by Hetao and could still lead tens of thousands of remaining troops to flee back to the north of Mobei.
However, compared with Junchen Shanyu, Touman Shanyu was already very lucky, at least there was someone with him. Junchen Shanyu escaped in the desert alone, which was definitely the first encounter in the history of the Huns!
Perhaps, it's the only chance!
Although his strength has recovered a little, it has become even colder. When the snow is swallowed, the coldness of his stomach can be seen. When the north wind blows, he will tremble. As the leader of the Huns, Junchen Shanyu has a high position and a powerful position. When he is hungry, he has mutton, thirsty, horse breasts, and fox fur. When did he suffer such pain?
"Gegg!" The longer you walk, the sound of teeth hitting you will be.
As he walked, Junchen Shanyu suddenly stopped, and his godless eyes suddenly became a little brighter. Not far away, there was a bulging snow bag, and according to his experience, something was buried.
Look at this situation, there are quite a few things buried, so you should be able to find food. Junchen Shanyu’s most shortage now is food. He has dug grass roots many times, and these days it depends on grass roots to fill the belly. However, it is difficult to dig grass roots in the snow and ice. The ground is frozen. Even if it is dug, there is a lot of frozen soil on the grass roots, so it is possible to clean it up. Junchen Shanyu can only eat the frozen soil together.
The taste cannot be described by those who have personally tasted it. In order to survive, Junchen Shanyu could only grit his teeth and endure it. Eating too much frozen soil will cause great harm to the stomach and intestines. These days, the stomach and intestines have suffered a lot.
No matter what is buried in the snow, it is better than grassroots. Junchen Shanyu was very energetic and walked over quickly. Hope was born, but he didn't shake when he walked, as if he was floating. He floated to the snow pile in a few seconds and knelt down. His hands, which were so cold that they couldn't stop digging the snow.
The snowflakes splashed far away, and in just a short while, a piece of clothing appeared. It turned out to be silk, and the ones buried should be humans. I don’t know if they were frozen to death or starved to death. If they were frozen to death, there was still hope. If they were starved to death, there would be no hope.
Junchen Shanyu paused slightly and thought for a while, he decided to dig down and find out what happened. As the snowflakes splashed, the corners of his clothes were exposed more, and it turned out to be the Han people's clothes, which was completely different from the fur coats of the Huns. He should be Han people.
The Huns also loved silk, but the Huns made silk into fur clothes instead of the Han Dynasty's curved hem deep clothes.
It is very common for the Han people to get lost in the desert. If they are Han people, they can find food. Junchen Shanyu was very happy and excited. He grabbed the man's arm and started to get cold but not stiff. Junchen Shanyu was determined to find food, but he didn't care.
As soon as he tried his best, the man pulled out half his body. Junchen Shanyu tugged the man's arms with his hands, and he actually found some food for him. He took it out and saw that it was raw horse meat, frozen hard, and held it in his hand, like a stone.
Junchen Shanyu was so hungry that he didn't care much, so he started to bite it in his mouth. After one bite, he screamed and covered his mouth and screamed. At this time, horse meat was no different from frozen meat in modern society. It was extremely hard. Can he feel good if he bite hard?
Fortunately, his teeth were good, otherwise he would definitely jump a few teeth.
Junchen Shanyu pulled out a scimitar from his waist, and these days he relied on this scimitar to live a life of grass roots. As for his hard bow, he had long since been thrown away.
With one knife, he cut off a piece of horse meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it. The fragrant smell in his mouth was tens of thousands of times more fragrant than the most delicious mutton he ate. He sliced one piece of horse meat one after another and ate it hard until he finished eating a piece of horse meat, his strength also recovered a lot.
This is the most beautiful delicacy Junchen Shanyu has eaten these days, so he is so satisfied that he burps.
He grabbed the man with his left hand and pulled them all out. The man's face was covered with snow, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he seemed to have seen this figure somewhere and was very familiar.
His right hand swept across the man's face, and the snowflakes swept away, revealing his white face, without any beard under his chin. Junchen Shanyu's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at the person in front of him in surprise.
