Chapter 250 Worries after the war [Chapter 3]

The terrain that Dong Hu chose was a soil slope. The slope of the soil slope was not large. If the slope was too large, it would hinder the charge of the Xianbei cavalry, which would probably make Kuitou hesitate, whether to have a decisive battle with Dong Hu.

Neither side has too much time to delay and entangle. Kuitou is very clear that there are still tens of thousands of Han soldiers behind him. The Xianbei cavalry can set a distance of three or five days with the speed of war horses. But once three or five days later, once tens of thousands of Han soldiers behind him come, he will die!

Kuitou did not delay and entangled time. If he could not defeat Dong Hu in three or five days and could not meet with his younger brothers as soon as possible, he could only immediately lead 20,000 or 30,000 Xianbei cavalry to detour eastward and northward, and to meet with his fleeing tribesmen as soon as possible, otherwise he would be surrounded by multiple Han soldiers.

Dong Hu also did not delay too much. There were 20,000 to 30,000 Xianbei cavalry entering the "Datong Town", and tens of thousands of prisoners and millions of cattle and sheep. Twenty or 30,000 Xianbei cavalry were nothing. The key was those prisoners. If the means were ruthless, tens of thousands of prisoners could still become crazy death soldiers in a short time. His old nest was drawn too many troops and his family did not have enough strength. If he could not surround and kill them as soon as possible and eliminate them, he could not be sure of what kind of disaster it would cause.

Both sides are eager to fight to the decisive battle, and choosing a battle location is extremely important. It is not only necessary to make the Xianbei people feel that they are at a disadvantage when attacking, but it is also beneficial to the shooting of 20,000 infantrymen.

The training time for 30,000 Han soldiers was too short. After only half a year of training, there was no big problem with riding horses and galloping. Not to mention shooting on a war horse, fighting swords and swords. When riding a war horse, you can fall into a war horse without paying attention. How can such a cavalry fight with the Hu cavalry who has been riding since childhood?

The 30,000 Han cavalry can only be similar to the "Dragon Cavalry" in the end, they are infantry riding horses! At least Dong Hu believes that this is the case at this stage.

It is an infantryman riding a horse, and his equipment is more inclined toward infantry. In addition to half-armor and a flying saucer hat that resists arrows, he also carries a longbow that is tall for one person. He ignores the accuracy, as long as he can shoot arrows, he will do it.

If it is a plain, even if there are many infantry crossbows, if you want to sit on the ground, half-squat, stand to form three-row three-row shooting or flat shooting, the people behind can only shoot at an elevation angle. Of course, this is the case of not moving soldiers. If the arrows are installed in the rear, they run to the front of the formation with a crossbow and shoot an arrow and then run back, it is not considered. Running around like this is actually easy to disrupt the military formation, and the cavalry forcefully rushing to the front, running around cannot effectively stop it.

Arrange the arrow array in a flat place. No matter how you arrange it, there are only a few people directly shooting from the front. The archery array on the back are the enemies behind the middle and back. Due to the cover of your own soldiers, there will be blind spots for the enemies at close range. The most dangerous place is often close range enemies. However, if you choose a soil slope with a certain slope as the battle terrain, the problem of blind spots will be completely solved and you can shoot the enemies rushing to the nearest.

Dong Hu chose a terrain with a small slope, which was beneficial to his 20,000 soldiers shooting the Xianbei cavalry. At the same time, Kuitou could not feel that he was at a disadvantage and was not conducive to the cavalry charge. Only when both sides felt that it was suitable for the decisive battle, the decisive battle would break out, but what season was this? In the coldest season of the year, no matter how fast the war horses ran, it would be greatly limited by the impact speed.

The fierce battle between the two sides, perhaps because the Han army and arrow formation was too terrifying. Before Kuitou could blow the retreat horn, the Xianbei cavalry, who was rushing to the formation, began to collapse and fled. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Xianbei people, all 20,000 to 30,000 people charged and fought. While the two sides were fighting together, Hua Xiong led 5,000 cavalry and joined the battle crazily...

From noon to sunset, Dong Hu had never fought such a chaotic battlefield. During his years of fighting, he had always used the Yanzheng Army formation to fight with the enemy as much as possible. There were few situations of rushing around, but this time he had to rush around. If he did not rush over Mount Tai to fight, the Xianbei people who were riding on horseback would be completely gone, and Yanzheng Army formation would not be able to catch up.

The two sides fought for half a day. Except for Hua Xiong, Dong Chong and Zhang Liao, the other three, led ten thousand cavalry to continue to flee to the remnants of Xianbei, until after sunset, the blood-stained infantry dragged their fatigue back to the camp...

"Brother, I've counted it."

After fighting for most of the day, even Dong Hu, who was strong, was exhausted. When a maid from Wuwan was washing his feet, the scout captain Dong Chi entered the tent and sent a report of casualties and deaths to him.

"Two thousand three hundred died in battle...one thousand one hundred seriously injured...that four thousand slightly injured..."

Seeing the number of war damage, Dong Hu's heart stinged for no reason. Although dozens of steps became a line of death for the Xianbei cavalry, the distance between dozens of steps was enough to make the Xianbei people shoot their bows and shoot.

One substitute died, and the two sides competed in close range with courage, putting their lives on the balance of life and death one-on-one.

Dong Hu sighed deeply, knowing that this was the price he had to pay, but he still felt uncomfortable. After a war, seven thousand people were killed and injured, and 20,000 people lost 30,000 to 40% of their combat power in an instant.

"Kill the enemy and capture more than 10,000 people... We are not losing, but we are just... we have too few people..."

Dong Hu sighed lightly, and Dong Chi's words made him frown slightly.

"Sijie, news came from Siyi that the Xianbei people did not take the initiative to attack for a whole day, and they did not even drive away some prisoners to attack. The Xianbei people who invaded Gaoliu wanted to escape, right?"

Dong Hu frowned...

"Tell Sijie and Siyi to ask them to launch an attack tomorrow to test the reaction of the opponent."

"promise!"

...

"Yao, Xin, where did Hu San and the others go?"

After a while, Dong Hu spoke again, and Dong Chi knew that the eldest brother was worried.

"Brother, don't worry too much. They have 30,000 infantry in their hands. At this time, it is time for the snow to be deep. It is difficult for the war horses to exert a greater impact. There will be no accidents."

Dong Hu was silent for a long time, but in the end he had to force his worries.

"We have defeated Kuitou, and the strategic goal has been achieved, but Fuluhan, Putou, Bu Dugen and others who have entered Gaoliu are all brothers from Kuitou, who are close friends of the Kuitou family. If they can severely damage them, it will be even more severe to Danhanshan's prestige. It will be particularly difficult for Danhanshan to subdue other Xianbei tribes, but..."

"Immediately, order Dong Chong and Hua Xiong to give up chasing Kuitou, and order the soldiers of the army to turn to the Nanqiu Shuigu Road tomorrow."

"Let's go home!"

With the same military force, Dong Hu would not worry about Dong Yao, Dong Xin, Hu San and others, but the Xianbei people still had tens of thousands of prisoners, and trapped beasts were the most dangerous. If one was negligent, he would suffer the backlash of the trapped beasts before they died.

Dong Chi and Dong Hou's name were obtained from the word "scout". The two met Dong Hu the earliest. After the "mother" Ren family left Lintao, two beggars who Dong Hu had to meet while hunting in the wild for his belly. They were six or seven years older than him.

Beggars in this world are difficult to survive, and they can’t get food even if they beg, especially in the poor and chaotic places in Liangzhou. If nothing unexpected happens, even if Dong Chi and Dong Hou are six or seven years older than Dong Hu, it will be difficult for them to live to adulthood. However, Dong Hu’s soul is an adult soul. If you are younger, you can still catch prey. The three big-sized dolls form a small group, and then they slowly become a big family of hundreds of people...

Compared to others, Dong Hu trusts Dong Chi and Dong Hou the most, but they have never been very conspicuous. It seems that every battle is commanded by Dong Hu, and others fight bravely. But without the scout camp led by the two, and without the guidance of the eagle falcon flying overhead, Dong Hu will become a blind man in the dark.

Dong Hu was worried, worried that his brother was working too hard, and worried that 20,000 to 30,000 Xianbei people were too crazy to trap beasts...

Dong Chi conveyed military orders to everyone. After hearing the word "Go home", countless soldiers who were exhausted burst into cheers for thousands of miles of military camps. Countless people told their desire to go home. Dong Hu brought people into countless injured camps, just like a military doctor in the camp, using old expensive alcohol to clean the wounds for others. If they need to be sewn... they first used alcohol to fill the person with a dizzy vegetable.

Dong Hu knows some common sense than others, knows that distillation produces high concentrations of alcohol, knows that alcohol can reduce wound infection, knows that the wound is too big and requires suture of sheep intestinal thread, and knows that some common sense of treating minor diseases, such as drinking more ginger soup for colds, and sleeping after sweating...

Veterans are far more valuable than new recruits. If they are injured, they will not be treated with any wounds. It would be better if there are fewer bacteria in winter. If it is hot in spring, summer and autumn, as long as the wound is infected, most of them will die, so that soldiers are not afraid of death. However, soldiers are afraid of being injured. Injury means wailing for more than ten days and a month, they will have to endure the torture of non-human cutting flesh and toxicity again and again until they die.

Dong Buyicon's injury damage rate is much smaller than that of this era, but it is also an unbearable number for Dong Hu. It is not scary to cut wounds by swords. What is scary is the damage of bows and arrows, and the puncture damage of weapons such as spears, halberds, spears, and Han swords. Some of these damages themselves come with diabetic bacteria, and some are equivalent to opening blood grooves, such as the Baling Han Sword. Not to mention some patterns on the Han Sword that cause even more lacerations of wounds, and only eight sides pierce the body, the wound will be far more harmful than ordinary weapons.

Weapons are for efficient killing. Even if Dong Hu spends as much money as possible to distil alcohol, and struggles to get the ropes out of the sheep's intestines, there will still be an unbearable mortality rate.

It is not difficult to train some soldiers. As long as you are brave and dare to use a knife to scratch a person's belly, you can cut it as if nothing happened. Basically, you are a qualified soldiers, treat soldiers with colds, fevers, diarrhea, supervise and supervise more health care, and regularly kill lice on their bodies.

Dong Hu attaches great importance to the injury camp, and will walk around and take a look at it from time to time. He brags and fucks with some dying bastards, tells some legendary stories from another world, and tells them that they have been reincarnated in the next life and become a bastard who teases his young wife all day long...
