Chapter 67: Retreat, or not?

"Huhh!"

The cold wind whistled, sweeping like a knife, rolling up blood waves.

The Han army was like a tiger, and the Hun herders were not opponents. This was a one-sided massacre. In the face of the Han army's tide of offensive, the Hun herders had to become ghosts under the sword. Not long after, the snowfield turned red, and the weather that could freeze people to death did not have time to cool the blood. It formed a blood lake on the snowfield. The cold wind blew, and waves of red waves appeared.

This is a strange scene, and a thrilling song that makes people excited!

The Huns, synonymous with mightyness, have plagued China for thousands of years and caused disasters, and are rare in history. Although King Wuling of Zhao and Meng Tian defeated the Huns, it was only a small one and could not completely solve the Huns' problem, and the Chinese army did not go deep into the desert.

However, the Han army went deep into the hinterland of the Huns and fought against the Huns' herdsmen. This was the first time since Pangu opened up the world. Once upon a time, the powerful Huns became gentle sheep and allowed the Han army to slaughter?

This is the result of countless patriots' struggle for it, and Zhou Yang has made great contributions!

Zhou Yang was riding on the Fengfeng Cavalry, looking at the Han army who were leaping around. His mind was stirred. He held the hilt of the knife tightly in his right hand, his eyes widened, his chest fluctuated rapidly, and his breathing was heavy. He was so excited.

At this time, Zhou Yang wanted to rush into the Huns' pile to kill him with a knife. However, he was responsible for supporting the entire army and preventing the Huns' army. He could only watch and could not rush to kill himself, which somewhat made him feel regretful.

Although this is just the herdsmen of the Huns, not the army of the Huns, the blood is always so exciting!

Behind Zhou Yang was a formation of 50,000 Han troops, which was extremely powerful. Although they stood quietly on the ground, they were full of momentum and fighting spirit. The soldiers were like Zhou Yang, holding the hilt of the knife in their hands, staring at the slaughter field where blood was splattering.

The sight of his eyes was full of red. Since Zhou Yang came to the Han Dynasty, he has been born and died many times and rushed on the battlefield. He has seen the scene of corpses everywhere, but he has never seen such a shocking scene. He is both joyful and shocking.

Wherever you can't see the eyes, there was a shocking roar, and the battle roar of "The mighty Han army" soared into the sky, shaking the earth.

Gradually, the sound of the battle horns stopped, and the Han army that was roaming and no longer galloped. They held the blood-dropped ring-headed sword and searched for the Xiongnu who had not died on the snow. If they were not dead, they would make up for another sword and would never leave a living mouth. Because their beloved Marshal Zhou gave the order that no one would leave, and they must obey this order!

"Are you finished fighting?" Although Zhou Yang was still a little unbelievable even though he could see the Han army as brave as a tiger and the Huns as gentle as a sheep.

These are nearly 200,000 Hun herders. They have grown up on horseback since childhood and are skilled in riding and shooting. They cannot defeat the Han army. Will they not escape? Although they are surrounded by the Han army, it is difficult to escape if they want to escape. At least they can delay for a while and delay the death penalty.

Not to mention people, even if there are so many pigs, it will take a lot of time for the Han army to chop and kill. The Han army actually killed them all in such a short time, which is really too fierce.

Then I thought, the Huns were hateful. The more fierce the Han army was, the more they killed, the more they were, the more they were happy.

"Ha ha!"

A hearty laughter came, and a red figure galloped over. A red war horse under his crotch, a fiery red person and a fiery red horse were simply perfect matches.

"Flying General?"

Zhou Yang knew that Li Guang was coming when he heard the sound. At this time, Li Guang was covered in blood, his hair, beard, clothes, and leather robe were all red, and there was nothing that was not red. The blood coagulated and formed blood ice, emitting a strange red light, and was rushing all the way, with indescribable weirdness, just like a demon flying.

"Master, how happy it was to kill!" Li Guang came near, pulled the reins of the horse, and the Lieyang horse stopped, and Zhou Yang could not speak, and kept shouting: "Master, Wei Qing has no vision. He said it was less. The Huns are 180,000 to 190,000, but he actually said 100,000, and his vision is really bad!"

I couldn't stop shouting, and my big mouth broke into a lotus, and I couldn't tell the good mood.

"General Fei, don't talk bad things behind your back!" Cheng Buzhi's voice sounded.

Zhou Yang looked at the sound and saw Cheng Bushi like Li Guang, a red demon, happy and joyful, and even his red face could not be concealed.

"General Cheng, how many have you killed? No matter how hard you can kill, it is not as good as my big yellow bow. You can only kill one with one knife, and I only have four with one bow. If you are lucky, skewers with human flesh skewers and kill more!" Li Guang patted the big yellow bow, his complacent feeling beyond words.

"You are proud!" When it comes to the convenience of killing, Li Guang is no better than Li Guang. In this regard, Cheng Buzhi was far inferior to Li Guang, and glared at him and stopped talking.

"How about casualties?" Zhou Yang knew that they were in a very good mood. Not to mention that they were in a good mood, even Zhou Yang's mood was so good that it was beyond redundant.

Although killing the Xiongnu herders is enjoyable, it is not worth being happy. However, the forage and firewood brought by the Xiongnu herders is the most urgent thing for the Han army at the moment. Now, the most headache-inducing thing for Zhou Yang has been solved, and it is impossible to make Zhou Yang feel bad.

"Master, what are the casualties?" Li Guang quickly took over the conversation first, smiled and said, "There will be no casualties except for the unlucky guy."

The Huns herdsmen were not of the same level as the Han army. Their combat power was too different, so they were not opponents of the Han army at all. However, on the battlefield, there were no arrows flying, swords and guns, and cold swords and arrows, and there were definitely casualties.

Li Guang loved soldiers like his son. If a soldier was injured, he felt as sad as his own son. If it were in the past, he would have reported the casualties to Zhou Yang in a deep tone, but now he said so, because the casualties of the Han army were negligible.

Li Guang's pleasure is the best answer. Zhou Yangda was happy and nodded with relief: "That's good!"

"Master, we have seized countless cattle, sheep, horses, and millions. How should we deal with this?" When talking about the serious matter, the joy on Li Guang's face disappeared for a moment, and replaced it with a solemn face.

Famous generals are famous generals, and they do not forget the important things in their joy, and Zhou Yang secretly exclaimed.

"Master, we deal with it like this." Cheng Buzhi looked serious and gave an idea: "There are too many seized in this battle, which is far beyond our expectations. So many cattle, sheep and horses are enough for us to use for a long time. Not to mention using Longcheng, it is not a problem to use Langjuxu Mountain!"

"hehe!"

A burst of laughter sounded, interrupting Cheng Bushi's words. The laughter came from the mouths of Wei Qing, Gongsun Jian, Qin Yi, Qin Wuhui, Ding Jun, Zhang Tong and others.

In the past, getting cattle and sheep was food that could be eaten. These natural meanings came to Zhou Yang's hands, but they made unexpected changes, that is, in addition to eating, they could also be used as firewood.

With cattle and sheep, with firewood and warmth, the Han army no longer needs to be frozen. What a wonderful thing this is, how can everyone not be happy?

The most gratifying thing is Wei Qing. The one he is the most anxious for the past few days is the firewood. Now, not only has the firewood tonight been solved, but the difficulties in the next few days have also been solved. He no longer feels heavy on his shoulders, but is extremely relaxed.

"Sheep, if you don't move quickly, it's a burden to bring it with you. You can kill it first." Cheng Buzhi looked pleased and began to plan: "A ox, if you run, you don't need to kill it. If you don't get off the horse, you won't have to kill it. Tomorrow we will bring the ox. When we get camping, we will slaughter it again. Isn't there any firewood?"

"Only the general can get the living firewood like a cow. Who has done it from ancient times to the present?" Li Guang was amazed and gave Zhou Yang a thumbs up: "In the next few days, we will slaughter the cows when we camp, so we don't have to get frozen!"

"The cow runs and does not fall below the horse, but can carry things." Wei Qing was not as happy as anyone, and he also gave an idea: "We can put the firewood for ignition on the back of the cow and let the cow carry it."

Although cattle and sheep can be used as firewood, there is one disadvantage, that is, the cattle and sheep that have just been slaughtered are too wet and not easy to ignite, which requires something to cause fire. As for things to cause fire, there is no need to worry about it. The Xiongnu herders have it.

"We have also seized so many horses, which can be used to carry things and slaughtered if necessary." Zhang Tong was not willing to let the crowd and hurriedly came up with ideas: "In this way, our horsepower will be sufficient, and it will be easier to kill the Huns."

Horsepower is an eternal topic in ancient wars and an important factor in the outcome of the war. This time, the Han army seized hundreds of thousands of horses, which happened to be useful. The Han army had more rotational horses, so it would be impossible to not have enough horsepower.

Everyone's words, I outlined the blueprint for the Han army's next few days, and Zhou Yang didn't need to worry about it at all.

"Just do it!" Zhou Yang nodded in agreement and said, "Tell me brothers that some of them are mutton, let it go and eat it!"

"Okay!" The generals cheered in unison.

The cooked cake tastes good, but after eating it for several days, a bird has faded out of her mouth and she has long wanted to change her taste. It is not that everyone is greedy, but that this is human nature.

You can only use your body temperature to simmer the pancakes. The heat of the pancakes is limited, so how can you catch the hot lamb? Not to mention the fresh lamb that has just been slaughtered.

The most important thing is that this is the mutton from the Huns. Eating the enemy's food and drinking the enemy's wine is the happiest thing for the soldiers. It can be imagined that once the order is passed on, the soldiers will definitely cheer.

"Flying General, General Cheng, you can deal with your beards. You don't have to suffer any more!" Zhou Yang looked at Li Guang and Cheng's whispers on his chin and joked: "According to me, it's better to shave it clean so as not to suffer! You may also look young, and you may be fascinated by the little girls!"

"Ha ha!"

The generals never dreamed that Zhou Yang would be happy with Li Guang and Cheng Buzhixin, and couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Master, you..." Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi pointed at Zhou Yang and accused each other. However, before the accusation was finished, the two of them grinned again and screamed in pain, making everyone laugh louder.

Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi's beards were covered with ice and snow, heavy, and when they shook, they would sway, as if they were slapped the naughty child. These days, they have been suffering enough, not that they don't want to clean it, but they don't have firewood and cannot be cleaned. You must know that only by roasting this kind of ice beard is the best way to clean it up.

"Master, I will apologize!"

Just as Zhou Yang and the others were laughing, Gongsun He arrived quickly, knelt in front of Zhou Yang and apologized.

"Apologize?"

In this massacre, the Han army led by Gongsun He rushed into a sheep pen like a tiger, as if entering a deserted land, killing the Huns' herders' corpses everywhere. Zhou Yang thought he had heard it wrong and was shocked, and then he came back to his senses: "General Gongsun, what do you mean? You fought bravely, why are you guilty?"

Not only were Zhou Yang surprised, Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing and others all looked surprised. If it weren't for Gongsun He's frustration, it wouldn't be like telling a joke, they would have thought Gongsun He was amusing.

"Master, the leader of the Xieluo tribe, Duoluo, let the flying eagle go, our whereabouts have been leaked." Gongsun He was ashamed, his head was lowered, and his face blushed.

He knew very well how serious the consequences of this incident were for the Han army. Maybe the Han army's operation this time would be vain. This is a rare opportunity in a thousand years. If he gave up, no one would be willing to do so. Gongsun He regretted it and had no face to see Zhou Yang, but he had to see him.

"What?"

The generals' screams were heard, and their eyes suddenly widened, staring at Gongsun He.

In the past few days, the Han army has been troubled by firewood. Now the biggest difficulty has been solved. Victory is right in front of you. As long as the Han army arrives at Longcheng, the most brilliant victory in history is needed. But at this critical moment, who would not be shocked if such a mistake is made?

"General Gongsun, the general, repeatedly reminded him to prevent the Huns from passing messages. You actually let the flying eagle go. Your crime is unforgivable!" Li Guang's eyes widened even bigger than those of the bull's eyes. He held his hands tightly, exerting too much force, and the back of his hands turned blue, and his voice was as thunderous as thunder.

After rushing to Longcheng, China has been yelling for thousands of years, and has also been waiting for thousands of years. It took a thousand years to wait for such an opportunity to ruin Gongsun He like this. Who would not feel sorry?

"You must be engaged in military law!" Cheng Buzhi bit his lip tightly, his face turned pale, and he said angrily: "What you have ruined is a thousand-year opportunity, a thousand-year opportunity! It only takes one thousand years to do this!"

"I will know the crime and I am willing to lead the military law!" Gongsun He was extremely distressed, and tears flowed down his cheeks.

At this moment, his mood was extremely painful, even the mood to die. If death could recover the losses, he would die without hesitation.

"Don't argue!" Zhou Yang waved his hand and stopped Gongsun Jian and the others who were about to talk. Without thinking, they would definitely blame Gongsun He: "You know General Gongsun's character. A rare general has never made any mistakes. If such a thing happens, there must be hidden information. General Gongsun, tell me in detail."

Li Guang and the others admired Gongsun He's talent from the bottom of their hearts. After hearing Zhou Yang's words, they no longer complained, and pricked up their ears and heard Gongsun He talk about the story.

"No!" Gongsun He took the order and briefly explained the incident. Finally, he apologized: "General, no matter how many words or difficulties you have, this time the mistake is my fault. Please punish the general!"

"Why!"

After hearing Gongsun He's explanation, the generals couldn't help but sigh. People's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Gongsun He tried his best, but he gave Duolou this old immortal trap. According to the feelings of the generals, I really want to say that Gongsun He's military law is engaged in, but even if he is engaged in military law, can the losses be recovered?

Besides, even if you encounter such a thing, you may not be able to do better than Gongsun He. Everyone was in a very complicated mood, but they didn't know where to stop, so they could only sigh.

"General Gongsun, get up!" Zhou Yang pulled Gongsun He and comforted him: "You don't have to blame yourself, you do your best..."

"Master, but..." Gongsun He's self-blame did not decrease at all, but instead increased a little.

Zhou Yang waved his hand and interrupted his self-blame and said, "There are too many unexpected things on the battlefield, and no one dares to say that they can be foolproof. If you don't say anything else, just talk about the moment, and I made a mistake. I didn't expect that the severe cold in the desert was so severe. For generals, it is not about doing what they cannot do, but doing their best to do it."

Sometimes human resources are poor, and some things are irreversible. As long as you do your best, you have a clear conscience. This makes sense, and the generals nodded.

"Master, what should we do?" Li Guang's brows were tightly twisted together, forming a faint Sichuan character, feeling melancholy.

The Han army is facing two choices, one is to continue to march, and the other is to retreat, and to take the initiative to make a move. It is really not easy to make a choice among these two choices.

If you continue to advance, no one can say whether the expected goal can be achieved. You must know that once the military officer Shanyu learned that the Han army had gone north to Longcheng, he would definitely be prepared, and the Han army's surprise attack on Longcheng would not be able to achieve it.

Suddenly, a surprise attack on the Huns was planned long ago, and it was also the key to whether the Han army could achieve a great victory this time. Once the battle was lost, no one could tell whether the Han army could win even if it arrived at Longcheng. Even if it won, how many Huns could be wiped out? If it could not achieve its merits and let the Huns go, there would be endless troubles.

With the strong combat power of the Han army, even if they faced the Hun army head-on, even if they did not have the advantage in their military strength, they would not be at a disadvantage. No one would have any doubts about this point.

The question is, will Junchen Shanyu fight with the Han army? If Junchen Shanyu adopts a method of fighting to avoid a decisive battle with the Han army, he hides in the desert and hides in Tibet. After the Han army's food, grass and supplies are exhausted, he will launch a fierce attack while the Han army's morale is low, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

You should know that the Han army only brought food for eight days this time. Although a lot of it was seized, the Han army could last longer. However, the Han army had no logistics and supplies, so it was impossible for it to last longer. With the talent of the military minister Shanyu, Yi Zhixie, and Zhongzhangshu as a supplement, he would not have thought of this point.

Once the military minister Shanyu dealt with this, he would have grabbed the neck of the Han army and the Han army would undoubtedly be defeated. This defeat would definitely be extraordinary. The Han army would suffer heavy casualties. It is possible that the new army that has been hard-working for these years would be ruined.

If the Han army was defeated, the strength of the Han and Xiongnu would reverse, and the entire situation would become beneficial to the Huns, and it would go back to the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty.

If the military minister Shanyu took advantage of the situation to use troops, attacked the northern cities and swept across the heart of the Central Plains.

The consequences were simply devastating. It was not impossible for the Han Dynasty to decline and the Chinese to fall into a slump.
