Chapter 40: Reckoned

Chapter 40 is reckoned

Sima Qian pondered for a long time and said to him: "I didn't expect that the changes would be so fast, and the things that the emperor had decided in the early dynasty had changed before it got dark. If you want to ride the captain, you go deep alone, the burden on the general's shoulders is very heavy!"

He Li Ling was also thinking about things, how did it become so fast?

It turned out that after the early dynasty, the more Lu Bode thought about it, the more he felt that he was more angry, and he felt that he was better than Li Ling

Guanda, it's very resentful to be a stepping stone for him. After lunch, he went to the court to meet the emperor and said some bad things about Li Ling's arrogance and invitation.

When the emperor was wondering, he received an urgent message from Zhao Ponu Xihe: it was said that the main force of the Xiongnu had arrived in Xihe, and Li Xu, the general of Xihe, had surrendered to the Xiongnu. Our defense is empty and needs support urgently!

Zhao Ponu also said that the enemy's armaments in the east and south of the mountains are lax, and they can be attacked by heavy troops

Solve the dilemma of the West River. At this time, it is a good opportunity to destroy the enemy.

When Lu Bode learned of the situation, he thought that this was a good time to trap Li Ling in isolation, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Xihe and destroy the enemy with Zhao Ponu!"

"Quasi-play!"

Therefore, the task of attacking Dongjun Mountain fell on Li Ling's shoulders.

The next morning, Li Ling said goodbye to his mother, wife and children when he was leaving, and his mother handed it to him

A bag of treasures said: "The Hu people are greedy for profit, and your grandfather always carried this thing with him when he went on expeditions." this

But the treasure of the talisman, if necessary, lure Hu Er and take advantage of the situation to capture him.

Li Ling took it and put it in his arms, and the family cherished each other and said goodbye. Li Ling stepped on his horse, and had no time to pay attention to the green leaves and poplars on both sides of the street, looking ahead, and galloping along the street towards the west gate.

He drove his horse out of the west gate, and when he was about to go up Yangguan Avenue, he heard someone shouting: "The general stays!"

He stopped his horse, and when he looked at the side of the road, Sima Qian led the horse and waited for him, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted: "Master Sima, why are you here?"

"See you off!" he smiled.

"It's been a long walk yesterday!"

Sima Qian took his hand: "Yesterday was a feast." The general carried the burden for the country, rushed to the battlefield, and as a colleague and friend, he should have come to see him off!"

"Thank you!" Li Ling's eyes glistened with tears.

"Be more careful than treacherousness!" Sima Qian said.

"Don't worry, my lord, I have been dealing with the Hu people at the border, and I know their tactics well, I will definitely win!"

"The general is alone in the depths, there are no reinforcements, you must take care!" Although Sima Qian did not understand why the emperor changed the holy decree, there must be a reason. He felt that the cavalry lieutenant was alone in the depths of the enemy, and it was necessary for him to warn him more.

"Adults must take care too!" the two clasped their hands together and bowed goodbye after cheering each other on.

Sima Qian watched Li Ling beat his horse and left, and did not get on his horse and go back until he couldn't see it.

The cunning Xiongnu and Marquis Shan Yu learned the news of the Han army, and conspired with Wei Lu: the soldiers attacked in three ways. In the west, King Youxian led his subordinates, targeting Jiuquan and Zhangye, in the middle, Shan Yu led troops to defend it, and in the east, King Zuo Xian sent troops to target the land east of Juyan.

In this way, the troops were arranged to attack the Han Dynasty, the west road contained the main force of the Han army, and the middle and east roads could take the opportunity to attack and loot the Han border.

Li Ling galloped back to Zhangye, where he was guarded, arranged his work, and immediately led the 5,000 elite soldiers he had trained and coached, and put all the swords, bows, arrows, crossbows, and other weapons he had made for many years to fight against the Huns, and took them all into the car and set off immediately.

They braved the cold wind of spring in the north, crossed the mountains and mountains, braved the wind and sand, and went north along the intermittent road in the desert through Juyan. Trekking through thousands of miles of desert, eating and sleeping in the open, a month later arrived at Dongjunji Mountain.

Although spring has arrived, and the ice and snow on the ground have been digested, it is still cold and bleak, the branches of the trees are bare, and the birds and beasts are nowhere to be found, and it is desolate. Li Ling led his troops to march vigilantly on the road with high mountains on both sides.

Suddenly, the sentinels in front of the road found many cavalry of the Huns and hurriedly came back to report. Now it is impossible to retreat, and the infantry cannot outrun the cavalry of the Huns, and they cannot advance. Li Ling discussed with the deputy general Han Yannian, and the only way to deploy them outside the camp was to use grain and baggage trucks as a battalion.

He arranged for the sergeants in front to all be armed with halberds and shields, and to cover the soldiers behind them with bows and arrows. Prepare for battle.

At this time, the marching Hun cavalry outpost also discovered the Han army, and immediately reported it to the general leader - Shan Yu.

This is the Marquis of Shan Yu, who personally led more than 30,000 cavalry about to leave the East Junji Mountain, and was hit by Li Ling's army. The two armies faced each other. Just look at the Han army is much less than others, and they are all the same infantry. Ordered the cavalry to besiege the Han army between the two mountains.

He ordered the guard to come forward and shout. Wei Lu stood in front of the battle and shouted: "The bold small Han army, if you don't hurry up and surrender to us and Marquis Dadanyu, spare you from dying!"

When Li Ling heard that it was the Marquis of Da Shan Yu, he said to the deputy next to him: "Brother Yannian, let's not answer his words!"

Li Ling turned around and said to the soldiers: "Let's not fire the first arrow, as long as they open their bows, listen to my drumming, and release the arrows in unison, and stop firing the arrows immediately when they hear the sound of the gong!" (On the ancient battlefield: the drumming is the trumpet, which is the attack; the gong is the trumpet, it is the stop)

Just looking at the other party, I didn't think about it, but they were a handful of them, and they were scared when they looked at my many mounted shots. He ordered: "Target: Han Army's baggage!

The Hun cavalry in front of them beat their horses and fired arrows and galloped over.

Li Ling beat the drum and dongdong, and the soldiers in front held shields to block the incoming arrows, and rushed forward with halberds. Thousands of archers in the back shot arrows at the Hun cavalry. For a while, the Huns rode down in response to the arrows, and the people turned over on their backs...... One wave blocks the other, and the advantage of the cavalry cannot be demonstrated.

Seeing this, Shan Yu had no choice but to command the cavalry to retreat, and the Han army took the opportunity to pursue and shoot thousands of cavalry. Shan Yu was shocked, seeing that although the Han army was damaged, its combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and he thought that there must be a main force on the left and right.

Shan Yu immediately ordered people to transfer about 80,000 cavalry to attack Li Ling in two days. He was afraid of deception, so he did not dare to attack in a big way, but only sent small troops to harass while chasing.

Li Ling led his soldiers and baggage to fight and retreat. At that time, there were many wounded, and he ordered the seriously wounded to ride in the car, the lightly wounded to push the cart, and the lightly wounded to participate in the battle. After retreating for two days, the enemy did not dare to make a second attack if he left immediately.

He deliberately slowed down the speed of retreat, and in a close pursuit of the enemy, he concentrated his forces, commanded the formation at one time, and the drums shook the sky, destroying more than 3,000 enemy cavalry.

Su Wu, under the leadership of the old man Yiba, Meiga and Xueying's mother and son, came to the Baikal Sea at noon one day. It turned out that Su Wu took Xueying and Sheng'er's mother and son to see that the endless glacier was her.

This is the Beihai introduced to him by Master Lu, and it is also the Hanhai that Huo Xiaoyao fought against the Huns and came here after sealing the Wolf Juxu Mountain!

Blue sky and white clouds, brilliant sunshine and endless ice surface all merge into one. In this wild place, being able to stand here, Su Wu couldn't help blurting out: "The world is big, really."

It's amazing!"

"If it's summer, it's beautiful!" said the old man Yu Yiba excitedly.

"Uncle. Have you been here?" asked Mega.

"When I was 10 years old, I went to herd with Abba. "In the past, there weren't so many trees on the hill on the left. ”

Su Wu looked in the direction of his finger, and there was still a green pine tree growing on the slope of the glacier.
