Chapter 10: Cao Zhengyang's Arrow [Two in One]

The oblique moon has people who run.

The ravines on the plateau are the scars left by heaven and earth.

Xiaoqi Nanying has never had any decent records.

This time, it's an opportunity.

It is also an opportunity for 曹 (xìng).

He wanted to use his longbow and arrows to tell the Huns what the power of hatred could bring to a person.

A whistle sounded from the mouth of 曹 (xìng).

In the midst of this dark night.

He seems to be a messenger who can justify the darkness of this time.

The whistle sounded like the sound of a bird, but it was so loud that the brothers of the cavalry battalion, who were in the vanguard this time, could understand it.

Everyone scattered, looking for a place to cover the shape of shēn.

These thousands of people were so quietly hidden in the mountains and forests.

It's incredible.

But 曹 (xìng) did it.

After hibernation for so long, he also taught his brothers what he had mastered.

Right now.

Every brother in the South Camp is a hunter.

They are able to hide their (shēn) form in the mountains and forests, waiting for their prey to arrive, and once they catch the weakness of their prey, they are able to kill them with a single blow.

And now, the night is long.

Prey comes first.

曹 (xìng) was lying on his stomach on his old buddy (shēn), an old horse who had been with him for a long time.

They have a tacit understanding of hiding the shēn behind an old tree.

The light of the moon does not shine on them.

They seem to melt into the darkness.

Cao (xìng) suddenly wanted to laugh, but found that he couldn't laugh out loud.

They all seem to be old.

But.

There is no way to kill such a Hun less, not a single one.

In front of him Cao Zhengyang, as long as there is a Huns, they can't escape his eagle eyes and bows and arrows.

The Huns will die.

Thousands of hunters from the southern camp of Xiao rode quietly in the dense forest, which was an order from Cao (xìng), and they all followed it carefully.

Even if you haven't seen a single Hun yet, even if it's a human figure.

But Cao (xìng) was very patient, and he blew again towards (shēn), signaling everyone to be calm and wait patiently.

Hunting is like this, all you want is waiting.

His judgment could not be wrong.

After all, he's a seasoned hunter.

"Smack."

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound in the quiet of the night.

It's a bit abrupt, and people notice the anomaly in it.

Cao's eyes pierced through the night and looked at where the sound came from.

At the front.

It seems that they are also reluctant to expose their whereabouts and run at night.

Not much.

After the sound did not cause any reaction, on the slope of the hill not far away, black shadows appeared one after another, in the moonlight, not very clearly, but obviously the cavalry of the Huns.

This wave of cavalry was nearly 10,000 people, and it should be the vanguard of the Xiongnu's attack on Xihe County.

A (shēn) man of burly material, dressed in a seemingly different way, was at the head of the procession.

He cautiously watched the road in front of him.

He was the commander of the Hun vanguard army.

For the future of the New Southern Xiongnu, he was willing to take on the big responsibility and take the lead in the charge.

Those Han people in Xihe, he also often fights, their bones are very hard, but their combat effectiveness is not very strong.

But the bones are hard and hard to gnaw, and he is ready.

As for hearing that there was also a matter in the clouds (qíng), he didn't know much about it, because at that time the Southern Xiongnu were in civil strife.

Everyone is busy fighting, where is the time to listen to a place they don't really care about (qíng)?

And now, he is going to take the old (rì) glory of the Huns to conquer the land of Naxihe County.

It is.....

He always felt that the dense forest in front of him was a little weird.

There seemed to be something that scares him a little.

Could it be a powerful beast?

He shook his head, he commanded nearly 10,000 Hun warriors, no matter what he encountered, he didn't need to be afraid, the bravery of the prairie boy was fought, not comforted by himself.

"Drive!"

He rode his tall horse at the front of the line.

But he felt that there was a coolness in this dry summer night.

"Whoosh!"

The sound was not loud, just enough for him to hear, and at the moment when he could not react, a sharp arrow tore through the air and came straight at him.

Well?

Straight to the door.

He didn't have any room to think, and was directly hit in the face by this sharp arrow.

He fell from his horse and ended a career he had not yet started.

"Enemy attack!"

The pro-soldiers who followed him (shēn) watched in disbelief as their leader suddenly fell, and naturally reacted to something.

They wanted to shout loudly, to remind their brothers (shēn), but they didn't have time to shout more.

After two or three shouts, the soldiers who were following the Xiongnu vanguard officer (shēn) also fell.

Cao Zhengyang's arrow.

It is a deadly arrow.

Each arrow hits the door and kills with a single blow.

And the shouts of the Huns also became a signal for the brothers of the southern camp of the cavalry to attack, and countless arrows were thrown out of the dense forest (shè) and poured into the formation of the Huns.

The screams are intertwined with the moonlight.

It formed a cruel movement on the land of the West River.

The vanguard of the Huns could not even see how many enemies there were in the dense forest, they only felt that there were countless enemies chasing them here.

The fear of death and the unknown makes them ride back.

But.

Just now Cao (xìng) has put them deep enough.

Moreover, he also explained that two arrows on one bow do not necessarily pursue killing, but must pursue intimidation effects.

You know, in the middle of the night, psychological fear brings far more trauma than the body (shēn).

"Kill!"

If he could, Cao (xìng) wouldn't mind becoming a demonic messenger in the sleep of these Huns.

Because of the trauma they brought to themselves, he has been going through it for many years.

On the side of the Huns, there was also the tripwire laid by Cao (xìng), which had just been arranged, and their rain of arrows was driving the Huns in that direction.

The shout of Cao (xìng) resounded through the night sky, and the tripping horse rope was raised with it.

"Sigh Lu!"

The horses of the Huns were tripped by the stumbling rope and fell down again in an instant.

The Huns, who fell to the ground, did not even want to pick up their horses, but continued to run.

Some of them did not find a good position, did not have time to get up, and were trampled into mud by the horses of their later comrades.

However, the vanguard army of the Huns also had some combat power.

Although the dense forest was too dark for anyone to venture into the danger, the location of the stumbling rope made them dare to try to hunt down the warriors of the cavalry battalion.

But in response to them, there was another rain of arrows.

Capture the thief and capture the king first.

曹 (xìng) is doing it right.

The first time (shè) killed the leader of the vanguard army, so that the Xiongnu vanguard army at this time fell into a certain chaos, and did not know what to do next.

Is it fighting against a mysterious being in this dense forest?

Or do you want to go back first?

Night.

Death.

Bloody.

Fear.

It is undoubtedly aggravating their psychological pressure.

Most of the Hun warriors chose the latter.

They prefer to die openly on the battlefield.

Instead of being like now, lying in the outskirts of the countryside in no apparent terms.

This is the tactic of 曹 (xìng).

Play psychological oppression openly.

The fear of the combination of multiple elements can make people even more afraid.

In fact, this rain of arrows killed and injured less than half of the Huns, but this fear made them retreat.

Cao's temporary arrangement directly thwarted the Xiongnu's advance plan.

It won enough time for Liu Bei to consolidate the city of Xihe County in the rear.

When the Huns organized the vanguard army again, or directly pressed the border, Liu Bei's group was ready and waiting for their arrival in Xihe County.

Moreover, this time they came to Xihe County, so they didn't want to leave.

Cao (xìng) walked to the corpse of the leader of the Xiongnu vanguard army in the moonlight, and reached out to pull out his arrow.

I glanced at him without any (qíng) feeling.

He doesn't deserve a name.

Cao (xìng) turned (shēn) on his horse and blew another long whistle, signaling everyone to clean up the battlefield and continue to grope forward, chasing down those vanguard troops by the way.

At this time, Liu Bei's think tanks were sitting together, discussing what happened next (qíng).

"So, there is another team of Huns going south, just in time to meet the Baibo army?"

Xun You asked Yan Ren his own question.

Yan Ren nodded.

After getting an affirmative answer, Xun You suddenly put his eyes on Chen Chen's (shēn), and he suddenly felt that he still seemed to underestimate Chen Chen.

Chen Chen at this time......

Eating pastries blankly.

I have to say that this Xihe county town also has special pastries that are not available in Taiyuan, and the taste is still very good.

Chen Chen (tǐng) liked it, so he naturally ate a few more.

He felt Xun You's eyes, looked up and stared blankly at Xun You for a few seconds.

He lowered his head and continued to eat.

This......

Xun You took a deep breath, and he began to deduce Chen Chen's layout.

Zhao Yun and Xu Huang entered the clouds and could attack Wuyuan County at any time, which blocked the road of the Huns.

And when we entered the West River, we entered from the north, and in this way drove out the White Polish army.

Compared with Taiyuan and the Xiongnu, perhaps what Baibo Junben (shēn) wanted to take more was the road in Luoyang.

As for the Xiongnu, it was because Chen Chen arranged Yan Ren's (cāo) work to divide the Xiongnu, thus giving birth to the new southern Xiongnu and the old Xiongnu king's tribes, and the old Xiongnu king's tribes would go south to seek help from the Han court.

On the way, the two armies will meet.

And the current court of the Han Dynasty can't even handle the court and even Luoyang, how can it be possible to pay attention to the old Xiongnu King's subordinates.

Then these two armies will unite and cause chaos in the Central Plains.

In this way, the eyes of the Central Plains will not be on Liu Bei (shēn), who is still drinking the Huns and fighting.

Because Kyushu's eyes have always been focused on the Central Plains.

The Central Plains was in turmoil, and Liu Bei was still fighting the Huns, so Liu Hong would not have sent Liu Bei to help, and he could also use the reason that Liu Bei was fighting the New Southern Huns to retreat from the old Xiongnu King's troops.

If I'm not mistaken.

Yu Fuluo, the leader of the old Xiongnu king's tribe, the son of Qianshan Yu, would not easily retreat because of the Xiongnu's (xìng) grid and Chen Chen's manpower planted by them (shēn).

Perhaps the civil strife in the Central Plains will be managed by someone else.

Those who can kill the Huns and the rebel army are normally to choose a border general.

Liu Bei has been ruled out, Gongsun Zhan is too far away, isn't that Dong Zhuo of Longxi?

Or is it Xiliang Han Sui who drives tigers and wolves?

However, Han Sui is not so easy to arrange, after all, if he doesn't listen to the tune and doesn't listen to the announcement, then there is a high probability that it will be Dong Zhuo.

And then after Liu Bei took the river (tào) region, he could directly point his sword at Xiliang.

Liu Bei, who is in the north of the Han Dynasty, will have the strongest cavalry in the world!

Xun You slowly deduced and had a judgment in his heart.

This Chen Chen, it's really dark.

Usually looks lazy and lazy, harmless to humans and animals, but I didn't expect to play chess at this height.

It seems that he should also show a few hands, and he can't be compared.

Rarely.

Xun Yu has a comparative mentality.

At this time, Chen Chen was still eating pastries with a blank face.

I don't sleep at night and call for a small meeting here, I'm so hungry that I can't stand it!

He wants to go back to sleep, this is overtime, this is an infringement of people's rights (shēn).

Xun You was still observing Chen Chen, looking at his small table (qíng) that appeared from time to time, and secretly speculated in his heart.

Also loaded.

It's all their own people who have something to pretend.

Fortunately, Brother Chen is his own person, and he is the flag bearer of the Yingchuan system, and he doesn't have much ambition, so he can do his part, but don't worry.

And with his understanding of him and the contact he has been in contact with, Xun You still feels that Chen Chen is a person who can accept multiculturalism, and can accept different people, which can be regarded as tolerant and generous.

This kind of deep scheming should only be used on the enemy (shēn).

In this field, Xun You and Chen Chen are wandering.

Everyone else was discussing strategic intent in front of the map.

And Chen Chen was eating and wanted to sleep, and Xun You was observing and speculating about Chen Chen's layout.

"Gongda, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Liu Bei pointed to a marker on the map, which was the point at which they had settled for the final battle.

He didn't ask Chen Chen.

Because Chen Chen made it clear that he didn't understand military strategy and didn't know what place to arrange, let them play by themselves.

Although Liu Bei didn't believe that Chen Chen didn't understand military strategy.

But Liu Bei won't expose him.

The precious military advisor of others was reluctant to expose it.

If he wants to rest, let him have a good rest, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Chen was not called at this kind of high-level meeting of the think tank, it would make people think that he was not important, otherwise Liu Bei would also want Chen Chen to sleep.

Maybe that's pet.

Xun You came back to his senses.

looked at the marking point that Liu Bei pointed to.

It was the west of the county seat of Xihe County, just in the middle of the three cities.

Looking like this, is it planned to divide the army into three cities, and then surround it and break it?

Xun You felt that this idea seemed safe, but in fact it was not so safe.

Because the main combat force of the Huns is light cavalry, they come and go freely.

If they fight in the city, it is easy for them to be prepared to be on guard, and they may run away if they can't finish the fight.

So where should you choose?

Xun You's gaze stayed on one place on the map.

Maybe.....

It would be a good place to be.

Under everyone's gaze, Xun Yu pointed his finger to another place.

The crowd looked at it carefully.

White Wave Valley?

"Gongda this is?"

Liu Bei didn't understand very well, why did he choose Baibo Valley, which was not a short distance away from each city, for a decisive battle?

You must know that although Baibo Valley is not small, it cannot accommodate more than 200,000 people.

Not to mention this kind of decisive battle at the level of 100,000 people.

If there is really a fight, it will not be easy for both sides to carry out.

"The terrain of the White Wave Valley is not suitable for cavalry attacks."

Xun You tapped on the map.

Everyone nodded, everyone understands this reason, and it makes sense.

"And for the decisive battle, our people don't need to be in the White Wave Valley."

"Here."

"It's just a cemetery for the Huns."
