Chapter 17: Knife Raid
When Geng Gong led three hundred iron cavalry to enter, the Huns were in chaos, how could they stop it? I saw the swords shining and wailing. Geng Gong shouted: "Warriors of the Han Dynasty, the time has come to serve the country!" Hold the knife in your hand, use the fire of anger with all the strength of your body, and cut off the head of the Huns! Fan Qiang, you follow me to besiege the Jinding camp, be sure to kill the Xiongnu prince, Wu Meng, Li Kang, you go to attack and kill the Xiongnu. Everyone responded to the order, shouting and killing.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed. Wu Meng and Li Dang held their swords and went to the place where there were many Huns, and shouted loudly while killing: "The Han General Geng Gong is here!" "Slash left and right, flesh and blood fly, like entering a no-man's land.
After killing for a while, Wu Meng couldn't find Wu Bao, he was anxious, "Wu Bao, Wu Bao, Wu Bao......" Wu Meng called desperately. However, there are screams and shouts of killing all around, where will there be a response from Wu Bao? Wu Meng seemed to be crazy, and the sword in his hand was running like the wind, slashing faster and harder. The last relative in the family, who met unexpectedly and said goodbye without saying goodbye, made Wu Meng's heart full of hatred, and this hatred can only be washed away with blood.
Geng Gong and Fan Qiang led people to tightly surround the Jinding camp tent, which was like a huge fire dragon, burning the Han soldiers and retreating, and occasionally one or two people who were on fire rushed out of it, all of whom were killed by Fan Qiang with arrows. At last, the tent burned like a quiet child, slowly turning to ashes, and no one escaped.
After nearly an hour of killing, the grass was full of the corpses of the Huns, the lush grass was stained red with blood, the wind was blowing, and the camp was filled with a choking bloody smell. Wu Meng and Li Dang were covered in blood, and they fought hard to hunt down and kill a few scattered Huns. Geng Gong slapped his horse and stepped forward to stop the two. Li Dang's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "Brother, why are you stopping me? Get out of the way, let me stab these brutes with a knife! ”
"Brother Dare, let them go!" Geng Gong said word by word.
"Why did you let them go? When they came to the border of our Han Dynasty to plunder and kill the people, they always drove them all away, and left no one behind. Now, after waiting for so many days, I finally waited for the day of revenge! Wu Meng said sadly.
"Brother Meng, why are you as confused as Li Kang? After killing all the Xiongnu prince's subordinates, who will go to the Xiongnu army to report the news? The vast grassland, where do we go to find the Hun army? When the Hun army comes, are you still afraid that there will be no Huns to kill? At that time, I was afraid that you didn't have the strength to kill the Huns with both hands! ”
When Wu Meng heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, grabbed Li Kang, and said, "Brother Dare, stop, what my brother said is to leave a few to ventilate and report the news!" Killing the Xiongnu prince, the Xiongnu Shan Yu will definitely not give up, they will definitely sweep over. At that time, we will kill again! ”
Li Dare hated and threw the saber on the grass, and the blood slipped down the blade. Wu Meng calmed down, became worried, and said: "Brother, I heard that there are 200,000 Xiongnu, all of them have been on the battlefield for a long time, and we only have 300 people, how can we resist?" I heard that the method of using soldiers, ten will surround it, five will attack it, multiply it will be divided, if it is less, it will be avoided, if it is not avoided, 300 people against 200,000 people, then it is not a sheep into the mouth of the tiger, and it will definitely die? ”
"Are you scared?" Li Dang glared angrily.
"Afraid? Since the day my family broke, I've never been afraid of anything! My life has long been surrendered to hatred! I just don't want to, three hundred Han warriors, shed blood and sacrificed in vain, dare brother, do you know, their relatives, for countless nights, waiting for their return. ”
Li dared to know that Wu Meng's words were reasonable, so he lowered his head and stopped talking. Geng Gong said: "Don't quarrel, let's settle the account." They found a tent that was slightly neat and sat down one by one.
Geng Gong said: "I expect that the Xiongnu Punu Shan Yu will not come, but the Xiongnu prince will not give up if he is killed, and will definitely send the Zuoxian King or the Right Xian King to come, so that the Xiongnu strength is estimated to be between 5 and 100,000." ”
"Why?" Fan Qiang and the others were puzzled and asked in unison.
"Wait for me to tell you a secret story about the Huns, and you will understand."
It turns out that Pu Nu Shan Yu has four sons, and the heir to the Khan throne is the eldest son Zuo Gudu, this person does not learn and has no skills, he is addicted to alcohol, and he is absurd and unreasonable. The mother of the left bone, Beidi Yan, is very beautiful, and often whirls from it, and the left bone is safe. is not as good as a woman's face, but the time passes, the person is old and yellow, the color is declining and the love is relaxed, and Pu Nu is single in love, which is tied to the Xiao Yan clan in Xinna. Xiao Yan's power is extremely arrogant, and he often speaks badly about Punu Shan Yudao's left bone, and the left bone listens to it and is afraid. It happened that the Xiao Yan clan was in his youth, and he often hated Pu Nu for being old and overwhelmed, so he secretly summoned the young and strong Huns to satisfy his selfish desires. This secret was discovered by the left bone, he thought that he was strong and powerful, and he was young, and besides, Pu Nushan was not his wife after a hundred years? Wouldn't it be better to have fornication first, and let her speak more for herself in front of her father? So he set down the banquet and invited Xiao Yan to a banquet, and when he was half drunk, his left bone suddenly knelt on the ground, holding Xiao Yan's feet and begging for pleasure, Xiao Yan was ashamed and angry, broke away from his left bone's hand, ran out with a smoke, and told Pu Nu Shan Yu. Pu Nushan was furious, and immediately drove his left bone out of the royal court.
Li Dare heard this and laughed: "It turns out that the Huns are so shameless, there are so many women in the world, and it is really strange that a son insists on begging his stepmother to be his wife." ”
Wu Meng said: "This is the custom of the Huns, but it is no wonder. Brother, could it be that the prince of this camp is the left bone capital? I forgot to ask Wu Bao at the time. ”
Geng Gong said: "That's right. I caught a Hun and asked, this is the camp of the left bone capital! Since he was thrown out of the royal court, he took a thousand soldiers with him, far away from Punu Shan Yu, and herded cattle alone. Today, we killed the left bone, Pu Nu Shan Yu must be happy and angry, Xiao Yan is by his side, and he is not easy to ask for, so he has to call one of the sage kings of the left and right. ”
Fan Qiang said: "Brother, even if there is a virtuous king, there are at least 50,000 Huns, how can we be the enemy?" It's better to lead the troops back, report to General Dou, and then make a decision. ”
"No! Have you ever fished? The hook has no bait, and even if the fish comes, they will disdain it and abandon the hook. If the king of the left and right came and found that the camp was empty, he would go back to pay the errand. At that time, we would not have been able to find the main forces of the Huns. Therefore, our 300 soldiers, staying here, will be bait to attract the Huns! Geng Gong stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the camp tent for a few steps, and said resolutely: "Although there are only 300 soldiers, no matter what, they can't eat 50,000 Huns, but they must bite them hard, so that they will neither dare to attack nor be willing to retreat, and they will be restrained here. ”
Wu Meng, Fan Qiang, and Li Dang stood up "Huo" and said in a loud voice: "But please ask my brother to arrange it!" Geng Gong was silent, walked out of the tent, pointed to the north, and said: "If I expected, there will be a lake twenty kilometers away." ”
Li Dare smiled and said, "Is my brother also clairvoyant?" Brother Qiang stretched out his eyes to see, is there a lake? ”
Fan Qiang said: "It's black, where can you see it clearly?" ”
"Sniff carefully, is the air here, is there enough moisture?"
Li Dang inhaled heavily and said, "Hey, it seems that there is such a thing." ”
Geng Gong said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing." We might as well go and have a look. After speaking, he jumped on the horse, whipped his hooves, and Wu Meng and the other three followed closely. Li Kang's mouth was still not idle, and he said: "Brother, the Huns are coming soon, what kind of medicine are you buying in this gourd." ”
Geng Gong smiled and said, "Brother Dare, sharpen your saber and prepare to fight hard." Li Dang was arrogant, let out a long howl, and struck the horse's back, the horse neighed, and flew out of the air.
After a while, Fan Qiang said: "Brother, I saw it, there is indeed a lake in front!" Li Dang stretched his neck, still didn't see anything, and laughed: "My brothers are amazing, one eye is amazing, the other nose is amazing." ”
When the three of them arrived at the lake, they saw that the lake was covered with the sky, the lake was blue, and the surrounding water and grass were abundant, Wu Meng sighed: "There is such a beautiful place, the Huns don't know how to cherish it, and they actually want to harass it at the border of our country, which is really sighing." ”
"The ancestors of the Huns are moving from water to grass, and their nature cannot be stable, even if it is a beautiful place, they still will not live for a long time, they will still think, go to other places to see, this is something flowing in the blood, can not be changed." After Geng Gong finished speaking, he pointed to the lake and said: "This lake is called Pu Sea, it is unfathomable, the water is very cold, have you seen it, in front of Pu Sea, there is a wilderness land, here, it will be the place where we beat the Huns!" ”
Wu Meng was puzzled: "Fighting against the water has always been taboo for soldiers, and I hope my brother will think twice." Geng Gong said with a smile: "Indeed, soldiers have always been taboo to fight against the water, but the soldiers, treacherous, the opposite, often unexpected, Chu and Han disputes, Han Xin with 10,000 troops against the Zhao King 200,000 troops, is the back of the water array, the Han army has no way to retreat, desperately fighting, to win. ”
"Fan Qiang." Geng Gong shouted loudly.
"In!"
"You immediately get on your horse, ride alone to inform General Dou, and lead your troops to the Bo Class Sea, remember, you must not stop for a moment on the road!"
"This ...... Brother, I want to stay by your side and kill the Huns with you! ”
"You are a hunter, only you can find General Dou accurately, and then accurately bring it to Pu Shihai, this is a difficult task, related to the success or failure of this battle, no less than going into battle to kill the enemy." Geng Gong looked serious.
"Obey!" Fan Qiang replied in a loud voice, jumped on horseback, waved his whip, and disappeared into the vast night.
"Li Kang."
"In!"
Geng Gong pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "You led a hundred soldiers to the mountains, set up more flags, shouted loudly, and galloped through the mountains on horseback, did you hear?" ”
Boss Li Dang was reluctant and said, "Brother, I want to kill the enemy, don't go!" ”
Geng Gong said with a smile: "Brother Dare, if you want to kill the Huns, there is a chance." You are in the mountains, but when you see General Dou's soldiers arriving, you immediately rush to join forces with me to attack the Huns, okay? ”
Li Dang still wanted to argue, Geng Gong's face was stiff, and he said sharply: "Do you want me to deal with it by military law?" Li dared not say any more, pouted widely, and stepped aside.
"Brother Meng, come here." Geng Gong whispered in Wu Meng's ear, Wu Meng kept nodding and said happily: "Brother, you are really courageous!" ”
Li Dang looked at them in a daze and said, "Don't let me hear what you say." ”
Wu Meng said: "Brother Dare, the military plane must not be leaked, and if you talk about this again, it is useless to tell you, you can't do it." ”
Li Dang was even more curious, and asked: "Brother, you are the affair of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and you know what sea and what is this, do you have any dealings with the Xiongnu?" ”
Geng Gong laughed and said: "You see, I am suspicious of me, and tell you that before the western expedition, I paid attention to the Xiongnu affairs, and these were all told to me by the Southern Xiongnu who had surrendered to our country." Brother Dare, if you have a knife in your hand in your mind, it would be good! ”
Li Dare was embarrassed, hehe smiled.
