The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 43

The barbarian tribes were occupied by the Wuhuan people!
This is the news brought by the barbarian girl.

A month ago, more than 1 Wuhuan people rode horses and charged into the mountains with swords in hand.

The chief patriarch led two barbarians to negotiate and question, but he was shot into a hornet's nest before he got to the front.

The barbarian woman saw that it was powerful, she led the tribe decisively and quickly withdrew from the village.

In a hurry, they brought out nothing except Cheng Yuanzhi's thousand kilograms of grain and some necessary hunting tools.

Boxes of gold and silver treasures, countless furs, countless pickled meats and grains, hordes of cattle and sheep, and even cottages, as well as hundreds of remaining Yellow Turban slaves, all belonged to the Wuhuan people.

While Cheng Yuanzhi was relieved, his anger grew from his gallbladder.

The Wuhuan people plundered the barbarians, and the barbarians were forced to move south to hunt wild animals, and the wild animals were forced to go south to wreak havoc on Shangdang County.

This time the herd was raging, and it was unknown how many people would die.

I just arrived in Shangdang County, who did I provoke?

That being the case, then Shangdang County sent troops to destroy Wuhuan, which was both reasonable and a just move in line with the cycle of heaven.

He originally thought that he would not be able to carry out his plan to rob the Hu people in the coming spring.

At this moment, he made up his mind that if there were no difficulties, he would immediately send troops to attack the Wuhuan people.

Because the teacher is famous.

Those who commit crimes against me will be punished even if they are far away!

All ownerless barbarians have been subjects of the great Han since ancient times.

Where the sun and the moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers flow, have been the territory of the Han Dynasty since ancient times.

……

In the afternoon, the Governor's Mansion of the eldest son city.

"Brother, is it so interesting to fight with women?"

Sugai sat cross-legged next to the stove, silently feeling the slight vibration from the ground, listening to the muffled sound of the wood hitting the earthen wall, and curiously asked Zhang Yang who was concentrating on warming the fire.

Zhang Yang took out two pieces of earplugs, tapped his earholes and nodded, then stopped suddenly, and said in surprise:

"Do you know that the handsome is fighting with women?"

"have you seen?"

"I've seen it before." Su Gai's face was taken for granted, and his eyes were full of innocence and innocence: "When I was in Yunmeng Mountain, I often watched you fight with your sister-in-law..."

Zhang Yang quickly raised his hand to interrupt him: "How many times have you seen it?"

"You haven't seen it since you went to Luoyang."

That is to say, ever since Thana married Mrs. Zhang, Sugai has witnessed the whole process, and it never falls overnight... Zhang Yang suddenly became furious, stretched out his big hand, and pinched Sugai's neck through the brazier.

Then slowly tighten...

He wants to educate this useless child for the handsome.

Peeping at the sun at a young age, can you still grow up?
Then Zhang Yang's face quickly twisted, accompanied by a scream.

Sugai tightly clenched the wrist pinched around his neck, feeling that with a little more effort, two of the bones could be crushed abruptly.

"Brother, talk is talk, don't do it."

"Cheng Chengcheng..."

"As a 12-year-old child, I am full of curiosity about this unknown world. It is understandable to see you fighting with your sister-in-law."

"Understand, understand."

Sugai let go of his hand in satisfaction.

Zhang Yang rubbed his wrist in pain... Suddenly he felt that his life was gloomy and miserable.

When it was cold, he had been suffering from insomnia for a long time before he took Mrs. Zhang over from Yunmeng Mountain.

The reason why Mrs. Zhang was brought to Shangdang was not because the weather was cold or the bed was not warm, nor was it because there were no women in Shangdang County...

But when he sleeps, he not only recognizes the bed, but also recognizes people.

Since he came to Shangdang, it took him three or four months to overcome the pain of recognizing a bed, and he really didn't want to spend another few months to overcome the pain of recognizing a person...

But the good days of sleeping peacefully for a few days just came to an end.

When I think about the next night, there will be a 12-year-old strong man outside the house, looking in with wide eyes...

His insomnia became unbearable again.

……

When Cheng Yuanzhi appeared in front of everyone again, it was already the next morning.

When the sun came out, the snow stopped.

His steps were a little sloppy, and his eyes were bloodshot and sour.

The barbarian girl followed behind her, her face was radiant, and her radiant face well concealed the tiredness after the joy.

Cheng Yuanzhi cleared his throat, raised his hand angrily and waved: "Assemble the cavalry, let the whole army go!"

Because he didn't need to go out with the army, Zhang Yang immediately agreed with this wise decision, and expressed his concern faintly.

He felt that with only 1 newly formed cavalry, not only would it be impossible to wipe out the more than [-] Wuhuan occupying the barbarian stronghold, they would even wipe out the entire army without making a sound.

This is the behavior of hitting a stone with an egg, and there is no life.

This is suicide.

But the high-spirited eyes of the barbarian girl and the others shook his point of view.

Could it be said that 1 cavalry can really kill more than 10,000, or even [-]+ Xianbei people?
This is also a problem that bothers Cheng Yuanzhi.

But being weak is not an excuse for not being brave enough to show off your sword, especially when the Wuhuan people bullied his wife.

In the era of the end of the Han Dynasty, how can we effectively restrain the cavalry?Capable people in later generations have already given the answer, one is muskets, and the other is bombs.

Restricted by the times, it was impossible to create muskets, and Cheng Yuanzhi didn't have that technology either.

As for the bomb, although Cheng Yuanzhi knew the formula of the explosive, the raw materials were easy to find, and the iron smelting technology was barely sufficient, but did the bomb just be invented?
How could it be possible to develop a bomb without going through thousands of failed experiments and killing hundreds of thousands of people?
Cheng Yuanzhi is not afraid of being bombed, there are tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and he does not need to go into battle in person, but how can these soldiers withstand such wear and tear.

As long as one hundred or eighty people die during the experiment, tens of thousands of soldiers will run away in an instant, and there will be no one left.

People in this era are extremely superstitious, and ordinary people are especially afraid of the power of the sky. Phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanoes, solar and lunar eclipses, lightning and thunder, etc., can frighten them to pieces, and they kneel down to pray.

During the bomb development process, huge sonic explosions similar to thunder would scare soldiers to death.

Even if a bomb is developed, how to store and transport it is still a century-old problem.

So just thinking about it at the beginning, Cheng Yuanzhi quickly gave up the idea of ​​developing a bomb and found an alternative.

……

In the early morning of this day, the north wind howled and the snow did not melt.

A group of barbarians came to a basin more than 50 miles south of the barbarian tribe.

There were only a few dozen people at first, but by noon, there were already 400 people.

They carried wooden barrels and bamboo barrels, some were filled from the black water pool, and some were received from the spring that flowed out of black water not far away.

Then, some felled green bamboos on the spot to make javelins and torches, and some people carried buckets filled with black water and went to the north quietly.

Cheng Yuanzhi is taking the barbarian girl and Sugai to observe the situation on the top of the mountain closest to the cottage.

Three thousand cavalry were left at the western pass, digging pits for defense.

Either there was too much food and it was difficult to carry, or the weather was cold, and the cottage could keep out the cold. In short, the Wuhuan who invaded the barbarian tribes did not leave, and they were staying in the cottage to enjoy the spoils.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, Cheng Yuanzhi saw the black crowd scattered in the cottage, horses and sheep, and countless piles of burning bonfires.

The aroma of barbecue can be smelled half a mile away.

In addition, there are many emaciated corpses, hanging on the tree trunks outside the cottage, dangling like hanging bacon.

Without any explanation from the barbarian girl, Cheng Yuanzhi knew that those corpses belonged to the Yellow Turban tribe.

The barbarian whispered, "I have never withheld food from the slaves."

Then Cheng Yuanzhi knew that the hundreds of people hanging on the tree were starved to death by the Wuhuan people.

Except for the beginning, when the barbarian girl ordered her subordinates to kill dozens of people who were bitten by wolves, the treatment after that was pretty good.

Although the slaves were not free and had to work all day, at least they had food and clothing.

This treatment is much better than staying in Dahan.

So the yellow turban slaves are also very contented, they work hard, and they don't make any noise at all, let alone cause trouble.

They were honest farmers, and they rebelled because they couldn't survive.

So stuttering is a great thing for them.

But now they are dead.

The cottage is located in a mountain depression, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with its back to the north and south to the south. There are two exits in the east and west directions, the east is the mountain road, the west is the main road, and there is a mountain pass on each side.

It is winter now, and there is no wind in the cottage, so setting fires is generally impossible to succeed except in the dry winter.

In the current snow-covered weather, the fire will definitely not be able to burn.

The Wuhuan people also think so, so they stack firewood and hay so close that they can reach it with their hands.

They live in the grasslands, and they don't know that there is black water in this world, a kind of black water that can burn in the water.

They haven't seen it, but that doesn't mean they haven't.

Cheng Yuanzhi methodically allocated the fire points, arranged for ambushes on the two roads, dug a hole in the snow, wrapped it in a warm tiger skin, found a comfortable place, and lay down.

Waiting for the night to come.

This tiger skin is very big, and it belongs to the big-headed tiger.

The cold wind blew over from the mountain beams, and the wind blew so quickly that he shivered.

He hurriedly dug a snow hole twice as big as he did, and got in.

The barbarian woman crawled into Cheng Yuanzhi's snow cave as she should, took off the tiger's skin and got in.

Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly felt his heart beating a few times quickly, thump, thump, thump...

Fortunately, the barbarian girl didn't provoke anything, and soon fell asleep with her pillow on his chest.

The sky darkened as expected, and the silver plate gradually became brighter.

The silvery white moonlight gently sprinkled on the snow, reflecting a dark white light.Dozens of barbarian strong men tiptoed with buckets in their hands, and their furtive figures stretched out a long strip in the snow.

The Wuhuan people had already gone to bed. They have the habit of going to bed early and waking up late, so they didn't realize that death was approaching.

Cheng Yuanzhi lay at the entrance of the snow cave, poked his head out, and observed the movement below.

The frozen snow was very hard and cut his hands, but there were two soft lumps on his back, which made it difficult for him to concentrate.

Therefore, his body is also very stiff, and it is very difficult to poke on the snow.

The barbarians moved very quickly, and soon splashed a layer of black water around the stronghold.

There were even a few bold ones who jumped into the cottage and splashed black water on the hay, firewood, and wooden houses.

These food, houses, firewood, cattle and sheep, all belonged to the barbarians, but now they were robbed by a group of Wuhuan people.
They hated the invaders.


So they gritted their teeth, pulled out the fire pocket with hideous faces...

When he saw Mars, Cheng Yuanzhi stood up abruptly, put the barbarian girl on his back aside, and shouted:
"Absolutely not!"

But before the words could be heard, the fire that shot up into the sky engulfed several barbarians and quickly spread to the entire village.

The sky was full of fire, and the purgatory on earth took shape in an instant.

The herd of cattle and sheep exploded and scattered in all directions, and the horses screamed and jumped up and down.

The screams of human beings quickly resounded through the night sky, and many people died in their sleep before they even had time to scream...

Cheng Yuanzhi threw his hands away in annoyance, feeling secretly annoyed that these barbarians were really pig teammates.

That was not the original plan at all.

Instead, they set fire on the outside to force the Wuhuan people out, and then set an ambush on the way after they escaped from the stronghold, and set another fire.

In this way, not only can the opponent be completely wiped out, but also the cattle, sheep, horses, gold and silver in the cottage can be kept to the maximum extent...

But now a fire has given everything away...
