Chapter 46: Destroying the Enemy in a Roundabout Way

At this time last year, he was still in Chang'an, and he was drinking poems and drinking in a wine shop with his friends, but now he has become a prisoner of the Huns. Life is really impermanent! Mother, I miss you for my son...... He couldn't help but burst into tears.

Mei Ga went out to see him, came over and stood beside him and said, "Brother Su, it's cold outside!"

He didn't look at her or speak, but turned back and went into his house.

Strange, what's wrong with him? Mei Ga followed him in and pushed the door open. She took out the fire sickle, lit the fire, lit the candle made of animal oil after she came, and asked, "Brother Su." What's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing?" he replied, turning his back.

"I have a way, that is, we can live without food. ”

He had already suppressed his tears, turned around and asked, "What's the solution, tell me about it." ”

She told him about the two families she had met on the way and about his treatment of Bartle's mother, who was now pregnant, and said, "We can see the shepherd in exchange for food." ”

"That's a solution, but there's no one around!"

"It wasn't long before the water and grass were abundant and the shepherds came. She added, "Now that we have horses, we can leave Uncle Eba to take care of them at home, so we can go out!"

"It's good, but I'm a Han and an exiled prisoner!" he worried.

"What's this! Didn't I come to you! We live together, far away from the capital, far away from Chang'an, who can manage it!" she looked at him with affection.

"You and I, this is not good! I have a family and a son in Chang'an. He refused.

"We Hu people don't care about that, and I don't care either!" she said resolutely.

"I'm going back to Chang'an! I can't delay you!"

"You want to go back to Chang'an, I'll go with you!" she said, "You know that my mother is also Han, I just want to go back to Dahan!"

"So—what if I don't let you go?"

"I don't regret it! I'll live here with our children!" Mei Ga burst into tears, "I, I, I don't want my children to be Hu!"

She took his hand: "Brother Su, you will fulfill me! I will come to you thousands of miles away, let's, let's live together!"

She threw herself into his arms and cried.

Listening to her words, Su Wu felt uncomfortable in his heart. She's a good woman, a good woman with opinions. But I have a heavy responsibility, no!

He gritted his teeth and pushed her away fiercely, saying, "I have to think about this matter, you have to think about it too, we both have to think about it, and we'll talk about it later!"

"You stay here tonight, I'll go over!" he stepped out and gently closed the door.

She thought for a moment, opened the door and followed him out, and followed him into her house.

"Why did you come back with you?"

"You live in your house!" she lowered her head and pushed him out of the door, closing it

Lying on the couch, he cried aggrievedly.

Su Wu didn't leave at that time, and when he heard the crying in the house, he also shed tears. But I really can't! He hurried into his house.

Li Ling's troops beheaded more than 3,000 enemy cavalry, so that the enemy was confused and did not dare to boldly offend, small groups of harassment continued to exist, and the troops were constantly attrition.

With no support for this lone army, he decided to lead his troops out of the mountain. As he walked, he cheered for the soldiers below: Let's refuel and retreat, lift our spirits, we will definitely win, we will definitely be able to go home......

They walked along the old road of Longcheng for four or five days, and entered the boundary of the surrendered city, with a large area of reeds in front of them. Li Ling looked at the low-lying area in front of him, and the city was trapped in barren grass, which was extremely desolate.

This reminded him of the lesson of General Yi here that year:

In the winter of seven years ago, the Xiongnu suffered a natural disaster, and after heavy snowfall, countless livestock died of hunger and cold, and people panicked for a while.

At this time, Uwei Shan Yu was dead, and his son Shan Yu succeeded to the throne. Though this boy is young,

But the sex is good at killing, which makes the Huns deeply uneasy.

The Xiongnu Zuo Dadu Lieutenant wanted to kill Shan Yu, and sent an envoy to tell the Han Dynasty: I want to kill Shan Yu and surrender to the Han Dynasty, but the Han land is far away, please send troops to meet it, once the soldiers arrive, I will kill Shan Yu.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard the news, he immediately sent Gongsun Ao to build a surrendered city outside the fortress to meet the Zuo Dadu Lieutenant. However, after the surrendered city was built, Captain Zuo was still too far away.

The emperor made a quick decision, and in the spring of the following year, he sent Zhao Ponu, the Marquis of Xunye, to lead more than 20,000 cavalry, out of Shuofang, and traveled 2,000 miles northwest to meet Captain Zuo.

However, just when Captain Zuo was about to kill Er Shan Yu, the matter was revealed and he was killed by Er Shan Yu.

After a fierce battle with the Huns, Zhao Ponu retreated south to a place 400 miles away from the surrendered city, surrounded by 80,000 Hun cavalry. In the end, Zhao Ponu was captured, and more than 20,000 cavalry surrendered.

Thinking of this, Li Ling was afraid that there would be an enemy ambush ahead, so he ordered the team to stop advancing. Seeing that the Hun cavalry was about to catch up, he had no choice but to build a city in the reeds in front of him.

Seeing this, Shan Yu ordered the troops to set fire to the wind on all sides.

Li Ling immediately commanded the soldiers of the whole army: "All departments and separate sets fire to burn out an open space, and the fire of the Huns spreads, and it will not be able to burn us!"

Under his leadership and deployment, everyone acted in an orderly manner, overcame obstacles, and burned a large piece of the station.

Because this place is relatively close to the Han land and Juyan, the enemy did not dare to stay and flee after setting fire. The enemy set fire to the reeds and left the reeds scattered, and the troops came out unharmed.

Li Ling's troops retreated to the bottom of a mountain, and the Hun sentinels found it, and reported it to Yu. And the Marquis was so angry that he gritted his teeth, personally pressed the formation, and ordered the troops to condescendingly raid Li Ling's troops.

Li Ling found a forest in front of him and immediately ordered his troops: "Hurry up and enter the forest in front!"

The ministries carried out the order and immediately went into the woods and dispersed. The Hun cavalry rushed into the woods. The Han army took advantage of the infantry in the woods, and the crossbowmen fought flexibly, breaking the Xiongnu troops and beheading thousands of soldiers.

Shan Yu was once again under the heavy pressure of Li Ling's army, and turned around and fled with his cavalry.

Li Ling encouraged the soldiers and said: "The land of a hundred miles ahead is my great man, do you have the confidence to advance victoriously!"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Yes!" and the shouts reverberated in the air. At the same time, it also shook the interior of the Huns.

This time, Shan Yu led 30,000 cavalry to meet Li Ling, lost thousands, and transferred 80,000 cavalry to surround Li Ling, but he was still defeated in successive battles. The cavalry lost almost 20,000 horsemen.

Wei Lu said to Shan Yu: "Shan Yu, this doesn't work, we have to change our way of playing!"

"How?"

"This is the main force of the big man, dragging us farther and farther away from the border. We've got to find a way to ambush him so that they don't come back!"

"How can we set up an ambush here? This place is very close to the border of the Han Dynasty, and if they come with reinforcements, we will suffer. I think it's better to continue chasing them, take the opportunity to pack up one by one, chase them out of the mountain, and if you can't catch up, you will immediately retreat!" Shan Yu said.
