Chapter 42: Facing the Enemy
In the camp, Wei Chigong and others were shocked when they learned the news of the attack of the Huns.
They originally thought that it was winter, and the other party would definitely recuperate in order to preserve their strength, and wait until next spring when the flowers bloomed again.
But they didn't expect that as a northern nomad, they would take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and choose to fight at this moment.
After pondering for a moment, Wei Chigong looked at Shan Zhuokun and asked politely: "I don't know what the immortal thinks about this, and I hope to tell him directly." ”
Shan Zhuokun smiled slightly, paced a few steps forward, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at the people behind him.
"Since the Huns are bent on going their own way, then we might as well plan and give them an invitation to enter the urn."
"Please enter the urn?" Li Yuanchang said suspiciously, "What does the immortal mean......?" ”
Li Zhifeng was standing beside Li Yuanchang at the moment, and when he heard his brother say this, he also spoke: "I understand what the disciple meant, he wants to fight to the death with the Huns. Am I right? ”
Shan Zhuokun smiled slightly, nodded at her first, and then shook his head.
"Deng, what do you mean by this, why do you nod your head for a while and shake your head for a while?" Li Zhifeng frowned slightly and asked in surprise.
Speaking of which, after going through so many things, she should know Shan Zhuokun better than others. Therefore, when she said that sentence just now, she was already extremely sure. didn't expect this inexplicable reaction of the other party, but he was a little unexpected.
Shan Zhuokun explained with a smile: "The reason why I nodded is because you really guessed the idea. It's just that although they are all battles, the methods are different. In my opinion, we must not fight to the death this time, but must be flexible against the enemy. ”
Everyone looked at each other and showed a look of understanding at the same time. Shan Zhuokun said very well, compared with the Hun soldiers, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were relatively weak in terms of familiarity with the terrain and weather adaptation. Therefore, only being flexible against the enemy is the best way to deal with this war.
It's like two children fighting a war, not that the simple-minded person with well-developed limbs wins. The winner can only be the one who knows how to improvise and flexibly changes the tricks according to the situation.
"Shangxian, how do you think you should fight flexibly?" Wei Chigong continued to ask.
An unpredictable smile appeared on Shan Zhuokun's lips: "Duke Eguo, you don't have to ask more about this matter, you just need to give me a team, and everyone else can stay in the camp and wait for news." ”
When Li Zhifeng heard Shan Zhuokun say this, she suddenly felt nervous for no reason.
This disciple is really true, since he doesn't know martial arts, why bother to be strong? What if something happens?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and she couldn't help but speak: "Dengzi, since you want to fight, how can you miss me and General Wei Chi, we are originally a team, and naturally we must share blessings and hardships." ”
Shan Zhuokun looked at Li Zhifeng with a smile, he didn't expect the other party to suddenly say such fashionable words. What's more, this word was given to her and Yu Chi Baolin by herself two days ago.
At that time, Li Zhifeng also asked what the word Shan Zhuokun meant, and his answer was brother.
Unexpectedly, the other party really kept it firmly in mind, and he also used it at this moment.
"The county lord of Zhifeng is right, as the saying goes, fight the tiger brothers. Immortals, since we want to fight, then let's go together. Yu Chi Baolin was also rubbing his hands on the side.
Shan Zhuokun smiled helplessly, to be honest, this time he didn't want to fight at all, he just wanted to lure the enemy deeper through a magic method. Unexpectedly, these simple-minded ancient people did not guess their thoughts, and they just wanted to go to war one by one.
If this is placed in times of war, it is pure war maniac.
Shan Zhuokun sighed secretly.
"Well, since you want to go, then go." Shan Zhuokun was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "But there is one thing we have to say, when the time comes, everything must be arranged by me, and we must not act rashly." ”
"Okay." Li Zhifeng and Yu Chi Baolin said in unison.
"Shangxian, that's the case, the prince and the king of Han are waiting for news in the camp." Wei Chigong reminded with concern, "The Huns have always been cunning, you must be worried." ”
Shan Zhuokun bowed, hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, Eguo Gong, we will definitely send troops smoothly and return triumphantly." ”
Wei Chigong nodded slightly, but there was still lingering sadness in his eyes.
Shan Zhuokun observed his words and knew the other party's thoughts. However, he was not in a hurry to persuade, just laughed.
In the courtyard, according to Shan Zhuokun's request, the soldiers set up three huge iron pots and refined salt at the same time. Once the process is complete, they pour the brine into a thick bamboo tube.
"Brothers, everyone hurry up and refine more salt." Yu Chi Baolin stood in the middle of the courtyard and said in a loud voice, "Those who refine the most will be rewarded." In addition, on this expedition, all the people could only carry protective weapons, and all the others were placed in the battalion. ”
When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but be even more morale-high, their hands and feet became extremely sharp, and the scene was suddenly in full swing.
In the valley, the soldiers poured spring water mixed with salt on the ground, and after the cold condensed, a thick layer of ice soon formed. Afterwards, Shan Zhuokun asked them to form a group of three and hide behind the rocks.
Although the soldiers felt a little strange about the general's requirements, they could not ask questions in person due to the huge difference in status, so they could only keep their doubts in their hearts and wait with bated breath to witness the answer.
Da Da Da ......
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves in the distance. The sound echoed in the silent valley and was terrifying.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty invariably clenched the short weapons in their hands, waiting for the commander to give an order at any time, and jumped out to meet the battle.
However, what is even more surprising is that Shan Zhuokun didn't seem to hear it at all, still leaning his back on the green rock, looking leisurely.
"Shangxian, when are we going to fight?" Seeing that he had not moved, Yu Chi Baolin asked curiously.
As a rule, whenever an enemy is spotted, the soldier should rush to the front and engage in a fierce fight.
"It's still early." Shan Zhuokun shook his head and said softly, his expression still extremely calm.
Seeing him behaving like this, Yu Chi Baolin and Li Zhifeng quickly exchanged glances. Although there are thousands of doubts in my heart, I can only stand still for the time being.
After a while, seeing that the distance between the Hun soldiers was getting closer and closer, the breathing of the Tang Dynasty soldiers couldn't help but become short. They all looked sideways at Shan Zhuokun and sent a request to the main general with their eyes.
However, Shan Zhuokun still turned a deaf ear and ignored it at all.
"Dengzi, you hurry up and give orders, if it's too late, it's really too late." Seeing this, Li Zhifeng couldn't bear it anymore, and urged Shan Zhuokun.
Shan Zhuokun knew her thoughts, but he was not in a hurry to explain. He just smiled at her, and then moved his gaze forward.
Li Zhifeng couldn't help but curse in his heart, if this coward was reluctant to send troops because he was afraid, I am afraid that everyone today will become the undead under the Hun soldiers.
However, before she could continue to think about it, the situation suddenly reversed.
When those Hun soldiers were about to come to them, they suddenly fell one by one because of the smooth ice. The valley suddenly set off a burst of screams of people and horses.
"Up!"
Shan Zhuokun took this opportunity to get up quickly, waved his hand and shouted loudly.
When the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty heard the shouts of the main general, they all came to their senses. Gripping the weapon, he jumped up and went straight to the Hun soldiers who had lost their armor. But it was only an instant, and the other party was assassinated on the spot like cutting a watermelon, and no one survived.
"Collect the troops." Shan Zhuokun looked ahead with burning eyes and shouted loudly.
His soldiers quickly formed a team, followed him and quickly turned around, went around the direction behind the mountain, and walked away quickly.
