Chapter 34: The First Battle

Before leaving the next morning, Li Ling said goodbye to his mother, wife and children, and his mother handed him a bag of treasures and said, "The Hu people are greedy for profit, and your grandfather always took this thing with him when he went on expeditions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is a talisman treasure, if necessary, lure Hu Er and take advantage of the situation. After saying goodbye to each other, Li Ling stepped on his horse, and had no time to take care of the blooming flowers and green-leaved poplars on both sides of the street, and galloped along the street towards the west gate with his eyes ahead.

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, it was Sima Qian who was leading the horse and waiting for him, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted: "Lord 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 sparkled 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 Marquis Shan Yu learned that Emperor Wu wanted to ensure the peace of all countries in the Western Regions, sent troops to Xihe, and under the staff of the military division Wei Lu, sent large troops out of the Tianshan Mountains to suppress the Xihe River and contain the main force of the Han Dynasty. He personally led 30,000 cavalry to attack and seize the rich land of the Han Realm north of the Yellow River head-on. Shan Yu knew that there was a left sage king to guard the east side of the place, and a right sage king to the west was in charge, and if something happened to them, they knew that they would immediately support it.

Li Ling galloped back to Zhangye, where he was guarding, and immediately led himself to train 5,000 elite soldiers, and put all the knives, bows, arrows, and crossbows he had made for many years to fight the Huns. They braved the cold winds of spring in the north, crossed the mountains and mountains, braved the wind and sand, and followed the intermittent rivers in the desert through Juyan to the north. After trekking through thousands of miles of desert and sleeping in the open air, he arrived at Dongjunji Mountain after more than a month. Although spring has arrived, the snow and ice on the ground have not been digested, there are no birds and beasts, and the branches of the trees are still bare and desolate.

Li Ling led his troops 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. The sergeants in the front were always armed with halberds and shields, and the soldiers in the back were armed 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. It turned out that this was the Marquis of Shan Yu, and more than 30,000 cavalry led by him were leaving Dongjunji Mountain, and were 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. The Guardian Ryu stepped forward and shouted. 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!"

Li Ling heard that it was the Marquis Da Shan Yu, and said to the deputy next to him: "Brother Yannian, we won't 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 don't think about it, but they are a handful of them, and they are scared when they look 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 the soldiers in front held shields to block arrows and raised halberds to fight. 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 it cannot show its ability. Seeing this, Shan Yu had no choice but to command the cavalry to retreat up the mountain, and the Han army took the opportunity to pursue and shoot thousands of cavalry.

Shan Yu was shocked, immediately ordered people, and transferred about 80,000 cavalry to attack Li Ling in two days. Seeing that although the Han army was damaged, its combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and there must be a main force on the left and right. Afraid of deception, he did not dare to attack on a large scale, but only sent a small force 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.

Although the weather is warm and cold at first, after all, spring has arrived! The earth's atmosphere in Beihai is rising, and under the warm sun in the sky, the thick ice and snow are melting rapidly. Herdsmen hundreds of miles away have gone out to find pastures for grazing. The place where Su Wu lives has welcomed the herders who came here last year, the two families who took refuge from the snowstorm when the old man Mei Ga and Yu Yi Ba came. All of a sudden, it became lively.

Although the two families did not live under the ridge with Su Wu and the others, their tents were set up on the edge of the small river not far in front of them, and they could be heard on both sides when they shouted loudly. One afternoon, while Mei Ga was boiling water, little Bartel came to play with Xiao Xiong Sheng'er, and Su Wu and Old Man Yu Yiba took them out.

Mei Ga looked at the little guy's disappointed look and handed him a piece of venison: "Come, eat a piece of meat to make up for it!"

He ate meat and looked at Mei Ga, who was dressed as a woman like his mother, and asked, "Uncle, how do you put on a woman's clothes?"

Mei Ga smiled and pondered for a moment, then replied, "Because I am a shaman who treats people, a shaman can also be a man or a woman. ”

"Why?"

"Shamans are meant to treat men and women!"

"I see!" he thought about "Oh, uncle, let me tell you good news, you can't tell anyone that my grandma is going to beat me." ”

"Say it, I won't tell anyone what you tell me!"

"You have to remember that you can't tell anyone!"

Mei Ga raised his hand and said, "I swear!"

Battle whispered to her, "My grandma has a baby!"

Mei Ga excitedly: "You say it again." ”

"I, my grandma, have a baby!"

"How do you know?" she asked.

"Sleep at night, Grandma told Abba. Abba said that he would not beat Grandma in the future!"
