Chapter 42: Captured in a Bloody Battle
Chapter 42: Captured in a Bloody Battle
This news was given to the Marquis Da Danyu, who was about to retire, and took a heart booster. He was overjoyed and immediately gathered his subordinates to discuss it overnight......
They immediately divided their troops into two routes, and took advantage of the night to quietly occupy the top of the Kundi Mountain around Li Lingbu, and surrounded them to the death.
At the beginning of the morning of the next day, the enemy's cavalry shouted to the sky: "Li Ling, Han Yannian, surrender quickly! You are surrounded......" Then, the Xiongnu launched a general attack on Li Ling's department.
Arrows cover the sky and the sun, weapons are strong, and men and horses roar, running through the heavens and the earth. The soldiers on both sides fell one after another, rushed forward one after another, and fought together......
Li Ling led all the soldiers and soldiers to brave the rain of arrows from all directions to fight all the way, and broke through with difficulty......
Behind this, there are tens of thousands of cavalry attacking, and in front of the dense Hun cavalry vanguard troops interception, if you want to return to the Han land, you have to fight hard......
For a whole day, the only 500,000 arrows and crossbows of Li Ling's department were finished, and the swords were also broken one after another, and the soldiers had to dismantle the baggage parts as weapons.
When night came, the enemy attack was slow, and Li Ling ordered his soldiers to mine stones on the hills to make weapons.
He sat in the darkness and looked at the remaining 500 or so battle-hardened soldiers, and the few horses that had captured the enemy. The soldiers were covered in blood and exhausted. Now that the weapons are exhausted, the food is cut off, and there are no reinforcements, our army has fallen into a desperate situation.
Suddenly a southerly wind blew, and it was the wind of my great Han land. Experience has taught him that it is less than a hundred miles from dry land. He looked at the south, thinking of the imperial order, of his family, of his oath......
He got up and led a horse for his own use, and ordered his men to kill all the remaining horses, so that everyone could have a full meal. Li Ling turned over and got on his horse, and the entourage soldiers immediately wanted to follow him, but he stopped him and said: "Take the order from the head, one person is enough!"
After a while, the Hun camp was in chaos, and soon it became calm again. In the middle of the night, Li Ling walked back with difficulty with a broken knife in his hand. Han Yannian stepped forward to support him and asked, "How is it?"
"We're going to break through tonight! Otherwise, no one else
Would like to go back!"
He looked at the four or five hundred soldiers sitting around him who could fight, smiled bitterly and said, "If each of us has ten arrows and crossbows in our hands now, we can fight with them tomorrow and go home." But now—"
It turned out that he went to explore the enemy, and the most important thing was to kill Shan Yu and avenge his family and country. He rode around quietly, scouted the place of the breakthrough, came to Shan Yu's station, and wanted to sneak in and kill him.
Who knew that the guy was very well guarded, and as soon as he approached the enemy camp, he was discovered. He fought with the enemy soldiers for a while, abandoned his horse and hid in the shadows. After the enemy army calmed down, he returned in the middle of the night.
"You're right!" General Han agreed, "Your harassment, their departments can't figure out the situation, and they will not dare to boldly besiege us." Let's put the taxi who can fight
The soldiers are divided into two ways and break through separately!"
Someone handed him a piece of raw horse meat. He asked, "Have the soldiers eaten it?"
"I've eaten it all, and now I'm much stronger!" everyone said.
He chewed on horse meat in his mouth, thinking of a way to break through. He told everyone about the situation and thoughts of his investigation, and everyone agreed with his idea.
They put what they couldn't hold and rallied around the hundreds of wounded who couldn't go into battle.
Make a camp to confuse the enemy.
Li Ling said to the wounded soldiers who could not leave: "When they find out that we are gone, they will not kill you, and you may still be able to live." As long as you live, you can go home and serve our big man!"
Li Ling divided his subordinates and capable soldiers into multiple squads and let them break through separately. He gave a simple order to all the soldiers who broke through: "Everyone aim south, look for the enemy's weak spots, and creep on the ground to pass quietly......"
In the second half of the night, in the vast night, Li Ling and Han Yannian quietly left the camp with soldiers who could fight, rushed down the hills, prostrate on the ground, and moved forward quickly.
Li Ling led the guards to see that several small groups of troops had passed through the enemy's protective area in front of them unknowingly and rushed towards the south. He also joined General Han after leaving the enemy area, and hurried away after the break.
When it was almost dawn, the Xiongnu Shan Yu got the news and immediately organized thousands of cavalry to catch up with them in the south. The enemy's cavalry was much faster than Li Ling's infantry, and after dawn, they shouted and caught up with Li Ling, Han Yannian, and a few followers.
Li Ling and the others heard the shouts behind them getting closer and closer, and Han Yannian said, "General Li, you guys go quickly, I'll break the back!" He immediately turned around and roared angrily and rushed into the enemy army
Team, left and right......
How could Li Ling get away, and besides, he couldn't leave General Han behind. He and a few soldiers desperately resisted...... They were armed with short weapons, unable to withstand the fierce and swift archers.
Soon Han Yannian was killed in battle, and Li Ling and the two living soldiers were surrounded by enemy troops. The enemy shouted: "Capture alive! Li Ling surrender quickly!"
"My life is over!" Li Ling saw that he couldn't break through, shouted, and committed suicide with a knife. A soldier stepped forward to grab a knife and shouted: "The general can't!"
"Get out!" Li Ling kicked him away. He took the opportunity to crawl into the enemy bushes and escaped.
"General Li Mo Ke!" and Hou Da Dan stopped loudly.
"General Li surrender! All your wounded soldiers have been captured, and if you don't surrender, they will all be killed!" Wei Lu shouted.
And Marquis Dadan fought with Li Lingbu along the way, witnessing his courage and bravery. Although he lost more than 30,000 cavalry, he admired him very much. He ordered his subordinates to live Li Ling, and specially asked Wei Lu to come to persuade him.
Under the blood-stained sun, the entire armor was stained by the blood of the enemy and the blood of his own wounded Li Ling, who listened to Wei Lu's words, bit his lips tightly, and looked speechlessly at the fields around him, drawing his bow and arrows at his Hun cavalry.
He thought about staying in the camp on the hill, and the more than 300 soldiers who had been wounded in a hundred battles appeared in front of him: they would be immediately killed by the murderous Hu soldiers on horseback and horse trampling because of me......
He looked south at the border of the Han Dynasty, his eyes were wet, his bitten lips were bloody, and the short knife in his hand fell on the stone at his feet, splashing angry sparks
"Tie it up!" Shan Yu gave an order, and the foot soldiers stepped forward to tie up Li Ling's five flowers and put them on the horse.
And Marquis Da Shan Yu happily: "Military Division!"
"The minister is here!"
"Be kind to the wounded soldiers of the Han army, give them food and drink, and heal their wounds!"
"Yes!"
And Marquis Da Danyu took Li Ling back to the camp for interrogation, but he lowered his head and said nothing. He thought, "As for my son alone, I will wait for my soldiers to recover, and then find an opportunity to cut off your head and return to my Han Dynasty!"
