Chapter 304: Cross-desert raid
"......Now the core tent of the Qiulin tribe has been captured by the Han people. Qiu Linfeng, a great family in the Qiulin tribe, is even more unknown. His daughter Qiu Linyan sent someone to ask for help to block the Han people from the old city of Shuofang. What do you think?"
While Yang Rui was peeking at the core Huns tent in front of him, he didn't know that there was also a plan in the tent about the player's conquest of the Huns. At this time, a Hun elder in the central government was asking his subordinates for their opinions.
"Mr. Gudu Hou, my subordinates thought it would be better to let Qiu Linyan and the Han Yiren first get involved, and then my army sent troops to clean up the mess. In this way, it can not only live up to the rules of the tribe, but also greatly weaken the strength of the Qiulin tribe, and even eventually annex the people of its subordinates. Anyway, Qiulin's whereabouts are unknown, and no matter how you look at it, it is a great opportunity..."
After the inquiry by the elders of the Huns, someone immediately stood up and answered.
"Not this!"
However, before this person finished speaking, a young man immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "I think my Subu tribe and the Qiulin tribe have always been in harmony. Now the Qiulin tribe is in danger, how can I put down the wrong person? I would like to ask my father to think more."
"Subu Falcon Shao Gu Duhou is probably worried about Qiu Linyan! Hahaha..."
When the man heard Qingzhuang say this just now, he laughed and made a few jokes. From his words, he can also see that Qingzhuang's identity is the Shaogudu Marquis of the Subu tribe, and the descendant of the old man in the middle.
The young Gudu Hou, known as Subu Jun, did not care at all after hearing that man's words. The Xiongnu tribe spoke very frankly to each other, and the more frank they confessed, the closer they were, the closer they were!
"The Qiu Lin tribe has a similar relationship with our tribe. I think the two tribes are both newly grown tribes, and the other tribes have always been very dissatisfied with us. Therefore, the two tribes should work harder to maintain the status of our tribe!
Of course, it is undeniable. My contribution to Qiu Linyan is also an important factor. Moreover, Qiu Linyan's elder brother has always served in the Great Shanyu. He is also my close friend and can say a few words in front of Shanyu. Therefore, please ask my father to consider this matter carefully..."
......
At this time, Yang Rui had already observed the core tent of the Huns in front of him, and then he hunched over his body and visited the gathering of the Huns around the tent along the dark surface of the sand dune. Overall, the scale of the Hun tribe is smaller than that of the Qiulin tribe. Its size and extension are not as good as that of the Qiulin tribe.
However, this is only a part of what Yang Rui could see. Perhaps the gathering of other large tents of the Hun tribe would be larger, or perhaps it was because of the terrain that restricted the distribution of the Huns in the tribe. You should know that its core large tent is almost next to the southern desert!
At this moment, Yang Rui heard a yelling outside the Huns' core tent. Yang Rui was shocked. He thought his figure had been discovered! As a result, a large number of young and strong Huns were riding horses towards the direction of their core tent, and soon gathered a lot of them. The yelling just now turned out to be a signal of the gathering of the Huns!
The scene was a bit confusing, and groups of Xiongnu arrived one after another. After about half an hour, the number of Xiongnu gathered finally reached a scale of 20,000 to 30,000. Because Yang Rui was relatively far away, he could not hear the other party's words clearly.
After the assembly was completed, these Huns ran wildly to the west side of the core tent under the leadership of a young and strong man. There were not many Huns left around the originally noisy core tent!
It turned out that after discussion, several core figures of the Huns of Xubu finally reached a consensus and decided to rescue Qiu Lin's Xiongnu. The Shaogudu Hou Xubu led 25,000 cavalry to the old city of Shuofang to rescue Qiu Linyan. The Subudu Hou himself stayed at the core tent in case the Han people came to harass him.
In fact, based on Subu Falcon's suggestion, the headquarters does not need to stay many people. Since there is a desert south of the core tent as a natural barrier, it is almost impossible for the Han people to reach here, unless they go around a large circle. However, in that case, they have to go through other Xiongnu tribes! However, to be safe, Subu Falcon's Gudu Hou himself stayed in case a situation happened.
At this time, Yang Rui lay on the sand dune and observed carefully, as if he had grasped some key information. After continuing to lie down for a while, Yang Rui quietly retreated. After that, Yang Rui took a long journey in the desert, took out the desert from the edge of the Subu tribe, and wandered around the core tent of the Huns in front of him for a long time... At this point, Yang Rui had a rough understanding of this Hun tribe.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Huns, Yang Rui did not stay for more than an hour again and drove the Daofengfei Carpet through the southern desert and returned to the place where his troops were settled. It has to be said that even with the help of Daofengfei Carpet, there were still many deviations in the direction set by Yang Rui. After leaving the desert, he searched for it before reaching the place where Gao Shun and others were settled.
It was just after noon at this time. The reason why Yang Rui rushed back so quickly was because he had decided to try to launch a surprise attack on Subu's core tent when it was empty. The only way to raid was to cross the desert!
Usually, this desert is difficult to easily cross. It is estimated that it takes six or seven hours to ride a horse, and it is easy to lose its direction in it! For this reason, even the native Huns would not choose to take this path. However, Yang Rui has the prop of the Tao Feng Fei Carpet, which is equivalent to having a directional navigation device. This is why Yang Rui chose to cross the desert!
After returning to his camp, Yang Rui gave a brief explanation of the situation he had detected to Cheng Yu, Sun Qian, Gao Shun, and Zhang Ning, and described his plan to raid across the desert to everyone, and immediately received recognition from Cheng Yu, Sun Qian and others. So Yang Rui rectified his troops and stepped into the desert again.
It's only noon now. Calculate the time according to the horse speed. It should be midnight to reach the opposite side of the desert, which can just happen to be a sudden attack on the Huns' core tent.
However, after the cavalry entered the desert, Yang Rui realized the difficulties. Previously, Yang Rui had already placed all the junior generals, archers, thieves and other leaders into the ring, leaving only one cavalry outside. Even so, as the cavalry marched on the sand dunes, the horse's hooves would fall into the sand, and the speed of the march was immediately reduced by half!
If you keep going at this speed, let alone six or seven hours, it is very likely to take one or two days, including physical energy consumption! In this way, it is hard to say what kind of situation you will face in the end...
"Sun Gan should also do his best..."
Faced with this situation, Sun Gan thought for a while and then waved his hand and used an auxiliary skill.
"Quick effect: first-level auxiliary skills, increased action efficiency by 100%..."
The skill information used by Sun Gan immediately appeared in Yang Rui's task information bar.
Sun Gan's auxiliary skill is actually an internal affairs skill, which mainly increases the productivity of various industries in the territory. It needs to be in the government office or the city lord's mansion to achieve the effect of covering the entire territory. If it is used out of thin air, it can only cover a small range, and it is not possible to be used for large-scale marches. Even if Yang Rui only brings more than 2,000 cavalry now, this skill can only be covered!
Since Sun Gan is not affiliated with Yang Rui now, Yang Rui cannot view the specific information of his character. In fact, Sun Gan also has a first-level auxiliary skill - coordination, which is also an internal affairs skill. It is a system with the "quick effect" skill you are currently exercising. The two can complement each other to achieve the best effect.
Yang Rui didn't know this now. No matter what, with Sun Gan's "fast-effect" auxiliary skills, more than 2,000 cavalry under Yang Rui returned to normal speed, and the entire team was able to successfully arrive near the core tent of the Subu Department at midnight.
When approaching the tent about forty or fifty miles, Yang Rui stopped the entire cavalry from afar and ordered all the soldiers to rest on site for an hour to recover their strength to welcome the upcoming raid on the Huns' core tent.
Until the 10th day of the Chou, Yang Rui placed Zhang Ning, Cheng Yu, Sun Gan and other infantrymen in advance, leading about 3,000 people to pounce on the core tent of the Huns on the north side of the desert, while Gao Shun was riding horses in front of the front.
Due to infantry participation, Yang Rui and others did not move forward quickly during the last journey. It was not until they approached the Huns' core tent that Yang Rui let go of his speed and allowed him to attack freely.
After raiding the Huns, after entering the gathering area around the Huns' core tent, Yang Rui, Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Cheng Yu, Sun Gan and 80 junior generals rushed to the front of the team. They did not attack the ordinary Huns' camps around them, but went straight to the Huns' core tent, so they soon arrived near the Subus core tent.
"Brush! Crack... sizzle... boom!"
Under Yang Rui's instructions, Zhang Ning first spread a rain of heavenly spirit fire, and the firelight poured out in the sky, and the core tent of the Huns suddenly fell into a sea of fire!
"Kill!"
"kill!"
"ah..."
“…”
Since we had made an appointment to raise the fire as a call, Yang Rui's soldiers had rushed into the Huns camp gathering area for a while, but they were silent. Except for the occasional horse sound, there was almost no sound. Until the sky spirit fire rain fell and the Huns core camp caught fire, Yang Rui's soldiers then burst into tears of thunderous shouts and killing sounds, like a wild beast, like a nightmare, suddenly tore through the silence of the night!
Chapter completed!
