Chapter 499: Chance or Trap?
In an unknown valley, several sturdy war horses were grazing leisurely there, while several Hun men were busy nervously, and on the shelf, a fat sheep was roasted to a golden brown, exuding an attractive fragrance.
Liu Yue sat on a big stone and looked at the direction of Puzi County from afar, his face was very ugly.
In order to temporarily avoid the edge of the Wei army, Liu Yue had to withdraw from Puzi County, after the Battle of Pingyang, the entire southern Xiongnu were afraid of the Wei cavalry, if they held Puzi County, they were bound to fight head-on with the Wei army, and Liu Yue did not have the courage to do so.
Helpless, Liu Yue had no choice but to wash Puzi County and abandon the city.
Although Puzi County is unable to hold, it cannot be given to the Wei army in vain, after the Hun army retreated, the whole city has been ruined and broken, and it is a scorched earth.
In order to avoid the main force of the Wei army, Liu Yue could only drill around in the ravine of Luliang Mountain, but fortunately, he was quite familiar with the terrain of this area, and the Wei army wanted to find him, so dream of it.
Despite this, Liu Yue still looked depressed, originally participated in the rebellion this time, Liu Yue had great ambitions, crisscrossing the east of the river, claiming the king and hegemony, but he didn't expect that in the battle of Pingyang, the Hun army suffered heavy losses, which was equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on Liu Yue's fiery head, which made him sober up a lot.
Now that he has been driven all the way to Puzi by the Wei army, Liu Yue can't stand firmly, and he is still like a lost dog, running around, and he can't go back to his home.
Several of his leaders could not bear this humiliation, and they asked Liu Yue to fight one after another, vowing to fight to the death with the Wei army and take revenge.
Liu Yue shook his head again and again, these leaders did not participate in the Battle of Pingyang, so they had not experienced a major battle with the Wei cavalry, their impression was still at the level of the fragility of the Han cavalry, and they were very dissatisfied with Liu Yue's retreat and retreat, hiding everywhere.
But Liu Yue knew very well that the strength of this Wei cavalry was extraordinary, and it was by no means something that a rabble like them could defeat.
The Huns are known as the eagles soaring on the grassland, but that is only the previous generation of the Huns, they galloped outside the fortress, invincible, and were the real lord of the grassland, the king of the desert.
But since the Xiongnu moved south, although the living conditions are much better than before, no longer have to endure the life of hunger and cold, but the comfortable life in exchange for the degradation of quality, the current Hun cavalry, has been much worse than before, and compared with the division of the Hun kings of the previous era, they are too far behind.
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and now Liu Yue is this mentality, he is depressed and depressed, and angry is angry, but when he thinks about the strong offensive of the Wei cavalry, Liu Yue has chills in his bones, so he would rather hide in this deep ravine than dare to take the initiative to provoke the Wei army.
The cook offered a leg of mutton, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and had a fragrant aroma.
Originally, Liu Yue usually had the best bite, but today, for some reason, he had no appetite at all, and after a long time in his hand, he took a hard bite, as if this was not a leg of mutton, but the flesh and blood of Wei Bing.
"Good news, good news!" One of Liu Yue's leaders, Brodon, hurried over, his face full of joy.
Broton was one of the four leaders under Liu Yue, and one of the leaders who advocated a decisive battle with the Wei army.
Liu Yue just bit a piece of meat in his mouth, this piece of meat is still bloodshot, usually Liu Yue's favorite thing to eat is this kind of medium-rare mutton, chewy, wild, he didn't have time to swallow it, Brodon ran over.
Liu Yue took a sip, spit out the large piece of mutton, and turned back to Brodong: "What good news?" ”
The excitement on Brodon's face had not subsided, and he said: "Ministry commander, this time the Wei people have divided their troops, one cavalry went to the north to Puzi, the other cavalry went to the south and bent to the north, and the rest are all infantry, and now they are stationed in Xiliulin, only more than fifty miles away from us, Ministry Shuai, this is a great opportunity!" ”
Liu Yue was also happy on his face, but he quickly regained his normal color and asked: "Didn't the Wei people have been hugging each other before, why did they take the initiative to divide the troops this time?" Could this be a trap for the Wei people? ”
Liu Yue is still relatively sophisticated, the first thing he thinks of is not the enemy's tricks, these Han people are cunning and scheming, and they have to guard against it!
Brodong said: "The commander is too worried, this time the Wei people have entered Puzi, and our army will retreat again and again, which will make the Wei people arrogant and arrogant, thinking that we dare not fight with them, so we will divide our troops and search for traces of our army." Now the two cavalry of the Wei people are a hundred miles away, and only one infantry is left in Xiliulin, even if they want to come back, it is difficult to quench their thirst from afar, if the commander can eat this Wei infantry this time, he will be ashamed! ”
Liu Yue listened, and was also quite moved, now they can't beat the cavalry of the Wei army, but there is no pressure at all to eat an infantry unit, the cavalry is born to be the nemesis of the infantry, and the speed of the cavalry is always impossible for the infantry to catch up, that is to say, no matter how they fight, the cavalry is invincible, and judging from the past records, the cavalry can generally easily crush the infantry.
If the Wei army really divided its troops this time, then Cao Liang, who commanded this army, must have made a stupid mistake, and if Liu Yue sent troops, he would definitely be sure to eat this infantry.
But Liu Yue is still a little hesitant, such an obvious opportunity, no matter how you look at it, there are some trap elements in it, if it is really a trap for the Wei people, Liu Yue's rash dispatch of troops is likely to be tricked.
Seeing Liu Yue's indecision, Brodon was a little anxious, and said: "Ministry Marshal, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, can you avenge the dead brother, it's just one move here, if you hesitate any longer, this opportunity will be gone!" ”
Brodon is really a little anxious, he has always advocated a decisive battle with the Wei army, Liu Yue disagreed, but it is reasonable, after all, the Wei cavalry is strong, the Hun army took the initiative to attack, and the victory is not big, but this time it is different, the infantry and cavalry of the Wei army are separated, such a great opportunity will not come often, once the Huns miss it, I am afraid that they will never find this opportunity in the future.
At this time, Meng Du, another leader, came over and seemed to hear the conversation between Liu Yue and Brodon, so he said: "The commander, I also think that what Brodon said is very true, this time is indeed a godsend, we should not waste such an opportunity in vain."
