Chapter 244: Deep Into the Grassland
There was not much suspense in this sneak attack, and the unprepared Wuhuan people could only be slaughtered.
After rushing for a while, the entire Wuhuan camp was flattened.
None of the more than 3,000 Wuhuan people remained, and they were all slaughtered by Zhang Yu and the others.
"My lord, the seizure statistics are out." Huang Zhong reported.
Zhang Yu was sitting in front of the fire, warming himself, and motioned for several generals to sit down.
"It's enough to talk about the seizure. I robbed us of these. No matter how many are seized, there is nothing to be happy about." Zhang Yu said lightly.
Several generals sat down, and their hearts were heavy.
"My lord, this time I killed 3,320 enemies, lost 731 people myself, and seized a lot of property, worth more than 6 million yuan. And the war horses captured more than 3,000 horses." Huang Zhong said briefly. Said.
Along the way, Zhang Yu and the others did not lose much, and now they have lost more than 1,600 people.
Every time the Wuhuan people were wiped out, the harvest was good, and now more than 10 million yuan of wealth has been seized.
This time a lot of war horses were also seized, and the Wuhuan people were dealt with before they touched the war horses.
After Huang Zhong finished speaking, Zhao Yun went on to say: "My lord, I got the news that this group of Wuhuan broke through the county town in the west of Liaoxi, and that's why they have so much wealth. In addition, they also imprisoned a large number of Han people in the city. Time to take it back as a slave."
The Wuhuan people like to arrest a large number of Han Chinese as slaves, and many people are arrested every year.
Especially like to capture women back.
Zhang Yu took a deep breath, but the anger in his chest was burning.
"Zilong, you immediately lead a team to raid the county and rescue all the people."
"promise."
Zhao Yun got up and left.
At this moment, Zhang Yu suddenly realized that his responsibility was very heavy.
I don't know how many places in Youzhou have been destroyed by Wuhuan people.
"The Wuhuan people must be prevented from continuing to destroy." Zhang Yu said taking a deep breath.
"Come on, my lord, we will kill wherever you say." Dian Wei said.
"I plan to go to the grassland." Zhang Yu said word by word.
There is a strong killing intent in the words.
Zhang Yu wanted to go to Wuhuan's hometown to fight back, and force the Wuhuan people to retreat.
"Great, let's go, go to their grandma's house, how exciting." Dian Wei became excited without even thinking about it.
But Huang Zhong was worried again.
The Wuhuan people are all warriors, although their army is outside, they are still not so easy to deal with.
Women in Wuhuan can also mount horses and fight.
Therefore, Huang Zhong was worried again.
"My lord, we are not familiar with the prairie. It is easy to get lost in the prairie. Is it too risky?" Huang Zhong said.
Risky, too risky indeed.
But Zhang Yu had no other choice. This was the only way to prevent the Wuhuan people from continuing to harm Youzhou.
Even if Zhang Yu and the others kept running in the counties of Youzhou, they couldn't stop them.
They can't kill the large-scale Wuhuan army, and they can only encounter a wave of small-scale troops in a few days.
They were able to go so smoothly before because the Wuhuan people hadn't got the news, but now they must have got the news, and it's difficult to imagine the same as before.
After daybreak, Zhao Yun came back, and he had dealt with about a thousand Wuhuan who stayed in the city, and successfully rescued the Han people who were captured by them.
After Zhao Yun came back, several people made up their minds, and finally Zhang Yu made the decision to send troops to the grassland.
"As long as we break through a few of their tribes, the Wuhuan people will come to threaten them, and at least some of them will be withdrawn. Then we can retreat." Zhang Yu said.
Several people agreed that this was the best way to deal with the Wuhuan threat as soon as possible.
So Zhang Yu and the others did not continue west, but turned north.
Three days later, three Wuhuan people with an army of 10,000 each rushed towards Liaoxi, intending to encircle Zhang Yu and the others, but Zhang Yu and the others had disappeared.
In three days, Zhang Yu and the others had reached the border of the grassland, and all the places they passed along the way were destroyed by the Wuhuan people.
"The depths of the grassland will definitely be the territory of our great Han in the future." When he reached the edge of the grassland, Zhang Yu pointed forward with the horsewhip in his hand.
All the soldiers were encouraged by Zhang Yu, and their morale was high.
Zhang Yu led the army into the grassland.
The scouts spread out in all directions, looking for Wuhuan's tribe.
On the first day, Zhang Yu and the others had nothing to gain.
The next day, after a day of running deep in the grassland, they finally found the tribe.
Zhao Yun came to report: "My lord, we found that Wuhuan's tribe is estimated to be a tribe of about ten thousand people."
"Okay, hide your whereabouts, we will approach after dark, and launch an attack when the sky is about to dawn."
Zhang Yu didn't dare to be careless when he came into contact with the grassland for the first time.
Zhang Yu and the others hid dozens of miles away, waiting for dark.
After dark, they proceeded cautiously, and finally ambushed ten miles away.
The grassland was very cold, and Zhang Yu let none of them have a sip of wine.
I dare not light a fire, so I can only keep out the cold.
In the early hours of the morning, Zhang Yu gave the order to attack.
The army moved forward quietly.
The people of the Wuhuan tribe are all asleep, and there are not many people on duty in this cold weather.
Zhang Yu and the others arrived, and there was a dense tent in the distance, with a little spark flickering.
Zhang Yu's face was calm, his heart was overwhelmed, he wanted to launch a massacre just like Wuhuan.
After some struggle, Zhang Yu made up his mind.
"kill."
A loud roar broke the tranquility of the night, and the sound of horseshoes sounded.
Zhang Yu and the others had quietly moved two miles away, and now the horses were running, and they quickly killed them.
An army of more than 10,000 broke in and killed it from three directions.
The sleeping enemies had no time to react.
Zhang Yu and Dian Wei went in the same direction, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun went in the same direction, and killed in the middle.
For a while, the sound of tents being torn, the neighing of war horses and the clashing of weapons resounded all around.
There was even more crying.
At this time, no one had mercy, and tried their best to kill the enemy.
"Drive away their cattle and sheep, and drive away their war horses."
After controlling the situation, Zhang Yu gave an order.
Fighting continued until dawn, most of the Wuhuan people were killed, only a few escaped.
Thousands of tents were destroyed and vast swathes of land were ravaged in disgrace.
Zhang Yu felt trembling looking at the corpses all over the floor, some of these might be ordinary people.
But thinking of more people being slaughtered in Youzhou, Zhang Yu's heart gradually hardened again.
After dawn, Zhang Yu asked people to start tidying up the battlefield.
"My lord, I have gained so much this time that I can't take away such a large amount of supplies." Huang Zhong came over and said.
"We only need horses and animal skins, and some additional food," Zhang Yu said.
A lot of horses were seized this time, after all, they belonged to a large tribe.
There are more than 20,000 horses, of which more than 10,000 are excellent war horses.
There are tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, after all, they are the food of the tribe of more than 10,000 people.
There are also a lot of animal skins, which Zhang Yu and the others need most.
Because the grassland is too cold.
