Chapter 128: First Hearing of Sandalwood Acacia
Waiting for the pro-army team to catch up, Gongsun Du was about to continue the pursuit, but he didn't want to, but the detective who was chased and killed before stopped him and said: "Lord, the situation has changed." ”
"Has the situation changed?" Gongsun Du was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" Could it be that a large force of Xianbei cavalry appeared? ”
"That's right, my lord, not long after Xiao Xin went back to report the news, about five hundred horsemen appeared, and gathered with the previous cavalry. Then he was about to send someone to report to the lord again, but he did not want to be discovered by them, so he sent fifty horsemen to chase and kill us. Tanqi said with trepidation, "If we hadn't run in time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have seen the lord." ”
Gongsun Du's face was ugly and said: "That means that there are now eight hundred Xianbei cavalry?" ”
"That's right!" Tanqi affirmed.
"Eight hundred? Big trouble! ”
Eight hundred people doesn't seem like much, but with Gongsun Du's current thousand horses, it shouldn't be a problem. However, Xianbei is not a group of Buyeo, Louru, Goguryeo and so on. If you want to make a comparison, 800 Xianbei cavalry can defeat 3,000 cavalry of these three clans. From this, it can be imagined how strong the Xianbei cavalry is.
Before, Gongsun Du defeated 20,000 Fuyu troops with more than 10,000 soldiers, which seemed to be very fierce, and it was very simple to defeat the opponent's 800 with a thousand, but in fact, it should be noted that Gongsun Du had the benefits of the city, and waited for work, how can the two be compared.
The most important thing is that if there are 800 Xianbei cavalry here, there must be other Xianbei cavalry around, maybe a little farther away, but if you can't take these 800 people, if some of them escape, maybe before they can enter Goguryi City, there will be a large number of Xianbei cavalry chasing after them, so ......
It can be said that if you don't die, you will suffer from it!
"In this way, it can only be destroyed by surprise." Gongsun Du pondered.
The so-called strange is relative to the positive, mostly sneak attacks and ambushes. In addition, it also includes discord, poisoning, encircling the water, etc., which are looked down upon.
The only thing that can be used at the moment is ambush.
"Is there a suitable place for an ambush around?" Gongsun Du asked casually, and at the same time, he began to recall the surrounding terrain in his heart.
A probe replied: "Lord Qi, about five miles to the south, there is a small forest, which can hide three or five hundred people. ”
Gongsun Du was overjoyed and said: "Okay, you lead five hundred people to do a good job, and when a certain leads the enemy army to arrive, kill it from behind, and be sure to cut off its retreat and annihilate it." ”
"Yes, thank you!" Exploration and riding are overjoyed.
Immediately, 500 people were divided and ambushed to the south under the leadership of the Tancai.
Subsequently, Gongsun Du led the remaining 500 people to chase in the direction where the Xianbei cavalry had fled.
didn't go far, and ran head-on into the Xianbei cavalry who got the news and killed. No more, no less, exactly 800 people, exactly the Xianbei cavalry that the previous cavalry had seen.
"Haha! Even such a few people, dare to chase after them, do you want to die? The Xianbei Qianchang led by him laughed wildly, from his point of view, Gongsun Du and the others were only five hundred, and for them, it was a delicacy that they could eat as much as they wanted.
"It's not good, get out of here!" Gongsun Du sneered in his heart, pretended to be panicked and shouted, and ran to the east first. But Gongsun Du thought that just such a little time was not enough to do a good ambush, even if the ambush was good, it was because he was rushing with all his strength, and he had not had time to rest, even if he could defeat these people, it would be impossible to annihilate them all, and even most of them could run away. Therefore, it is best to lead these people in circles first.
"Want to run? No way! It's all for Lao Tzu to chase! Avenge the dead sons! How could Qianchang watch his prey flee, laugh fiercely, and shout that his subordinates chased after him.
Oh god, I'm afraid this can't be a bandit leader from somewhere, right?
A thousand chiefs can also be a thousand commanders, or a thousand commanders, but they are not necessarily the leaders who lead a thousand people. Just like this Qianchang, he has 800 men under him.
The horses of Gongsun Du's personal soldiers are extraordinary, and they are not much different from the mounts of these Xianbei cavalry, coupled with superb riding skills, as well as the epoch-making advantage of bilateral stirrups, they are firmly walking the Xianbei Qianchang cavalry. Let them neither catch up, nor be too far away, thinking that they will not be able to catch up at all, and lose confidence.
However, even if this is the case, it also made Xianbei Qianchang very angry: "Which tribe's bastard actually sold our war horse to Han Nu, and didn't want to live?" ”
Xianbei Qianchang decided that after catching up with Gongsun Du and the others this time and killing them, he must report the matter to Lord Murong and teach the tribe who sold the high-grade war horses a lesson.
This is another reason why Xianbei Qianchang has to chase down, but he is also confident that even if Gongsun Du and the others ride a high-grade war horse, he can catch up. After all, even if it is a high-grade war horse, there is a difference, he is the Qianchang of the Murong tribe, not the Qianchang of the Luo, Yiluo, and the endurance of the horses is much better.
Although Xianbei Qianchang was wrong, it was not entirely wrong, because their war horses were indeed higher than the war horses of Gongsun Du's own soldiers in terms of endurance.
After running wildly for nearly a quarter of an hour, Gongsun Du found that the horses of his soldiers were already a little tired, and said secretly: A quarter of an hour? It should be enough, plus the time to hurry, they should have laid an ambush and rested for a while. Moreover, if you continue to go around, it is difficult to guarantee that your strength will not be greatly reduced, and when the time comes, don't lure the enemy and be killed, it will be funny.
With a decision, Gongsun Du turned his horse's head and turned south.
Then it turned west, then south, and then west...... and turned south......
A series of divertions made Xianbei Qianchang very angry, and he ordered to speed up the pursuit regardless of the horsepower.
This move laid a heavy foundation for its annihilation.
As a result, Gongsun Du had to order to speed up as well in case he was caught up.
You chased after me, and after about half an hour, Gongsun Du took the lead in rushing to the ambush site.
Gongsun Du glanced at a piece of black cloth hanging on the tree, which was the code he had agreed with his subordinates before, indicating that the ambush had been completed, and immediately ordered: "Order, get ready, the time has come to kill Hulu." ”
Everyone realized, their expressions became solemn, and the hand holding the crossbow was not as casual as before, but became full of power.
A sense of murder was immediately apparent. At the same time, the speed is reduced!
Xianbei Qianchang felt the changes in Gongsun Du and others, first stunned, and then overjoyed: "Hahaha! Kill Lao Tzu, the Han dogs can't run~"
"Kill!" A group of Xianbei cavalry is also ecstatic, the Han people in their eyes that it is a meritorious service, a meritorious service to be taken away, the meaning of a thousand long They don't understand anything else, only know that the time has come to take meritorious service, and they roared wildly.
Gongsun Du smiled coldly, and when he crossed the grove, he immediately turned around, turned his horse's head to the way he came, and quietly looked at the eight hundred cavalry such as Xianbei Qianchang.
Xianbei Qianchang was immediately stunned, because he knew that the Han people had always been cunning, and there was an ambush in such an act? So he looked around suspiciously.
"Kill!"
Gongsun Du shouted violently and took the lead in rushing towards the Xianbei cavalry.
"Kill!"
Not to be outdone, all the soldiers roared in unison and followed closely behind to kill the generals.
Xianbei Qianchang didn't have time to think about it, and there were shouts of killing behind him, and his brain couldn't help but be confused: I have suffered, I have fallen into the tricks of the Han people!
"Death~"
How could Gongsun Du miss such a great opportunity, he gently gave Qingying a hint, and rushed to Xianbei Qianchang's body at a very fast speed, and when he just came back to his senses, he took his head with a knife.
"Die, die, die!"
With a sword, Gongsun Du took the opportunity to kill, galloping back and forth in the Xianbei cavalry, and everywhere he passed, his head fell to the ground.
As soon as the lord died, several hundred elders immediately shouted and wanted to leave, but when Gongsun Du rushed like this, they were immediately in chaos. Coupled with being ambushed, everyone panicked in their hearts, and there was only one thought-
"I'm going to run away~"
However, the reality is ashamed, after scattering the Xianbei cavalry, Gongsun Du went around the periphery and commanded more than 300 personal soldiers outside the battle circle to kill the fish that slipped through the net.
After the more than 100 Xianbei cavalry who ran out were killed, the two or three hundred Xianbei cavalry who were still in the middle realized that something was wrong.
"Han Dog wants to kill them all, everyone fights with them!" Without a chance to live, the ruthlessness in the bones of the remaining Xianbei cavalry was suddenly stimulated.
Gongsun Du was prepared, and shouted loudly: "Ben will promise that those who surrender on their knees will not die!" ”
Except for a few people who really didn't want to die, the rest of them were hesitant.
"Don't believe the Han dog, he's lying to us!" A guy with more eyesight saw that the situation was wrong and persuaded him loudly.
Shout~
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was shot through the throat by an arrow and fell off his horse.
"That's what happens to the recalcitrant ones." Gongsun Du, with the power of killing, roared, "If you don't descend at this time, wait for when!" ”
When nearly 100 people dropped their weapons, they turned over and dismounted and fell to the ground.
There were those who took the lead and those who followed, and suddenly dozens of people dismounted and knelt down to ask for surrender.
There are more than 30 people left, all of whom are ruthless people, or people who don't believe Gongsun Du's words.
The fierce man's eyes flashed, and he roared: "You bastards who eat inside and out, I want your dog's life." ”
Gongsun Du will not let the good situation be destroyed, and with a wave of his hand, there will be personal soldiers who will come forward to fight together.
Under the outnumbered enemy, these ruthless people were quickly killed one by one, and more than a dozen people who were still hesitant could only dismount and surrender under such circumstances.
None of this is important, the important thing is that when the last ruthless guy was killed, a word was shouted that caught his attention -
"Khan won't let you guys go!"
Hearing the word "Shan Yu", Gongsun Du remembered one person, that is-Tanshi Huai.
This person is not simple, he unified Xianbei, and even coerced the Han Dynasty, so that the Han court had to submit to the existence.
"Not good!"
Gongsun Du thought of one of the main exploits of Tanshi Huai, and couldn't help but panic in his heart, and quickly ordered his own soldiers to tie up all the prisoners, and then singled out one of the Xianbei soldiers who surrendered at the beginning and brought him aside for questioning.
"Do you know this person?"
The Xianbei soldiers immediately glared at Gongsun Du, but did not answer.
Gongsun Du comforted: "I don't mean to be disrespectful, I just want to know about your Shan Yu." ”
The Xianbei soldier thought about it and felt that there was nothing to say, so he said:
"The Khan was a god of the world, he unified the tribes in the north, established a royal court in Danhan Mountain, and the tribes in the east and west also submitted to the khan. Khan is ......"
After a long period of praise, the Xianbei soldiers threatened: "You'd better let us go, or you will surely die when the Khan's army arrives." If you let us go now, we will intercede with the Khan and only make you slaves, and we will not kill you. ”
Boom~
"Look for death!"
"Stop!"
The words of the Xianbei soldier are indeed no less than looking for death, now he is just meat on the chopping board, and he even dares to threaten Gongsun Du, how can the soldiers let him go, and kick him to the ground with one kick. If Gongsun Du hadn't stopped it, he would have become a dead soul under the knife now.
