Chapter 56: Lin Hu Dies

A day and a night later, five thousand Qin troops gathered at the foot of Longshan Mountain, just in time for the dawn to arrive, and the fog began to dissipate.

The mountains in the distance are as black as iron, solemn and solemn. The red sun is rising, and the peaks are dark blue. Immediately afterwards, the mist rises, and the milky white veil separates the heavy mountains, leaving only the cyan peaks, which is really like a landscape painting with refreshing brushwork and dense ink. After a while, the fog cleared again, and the bare rock walls and cliffs were dyed red by the sun, and gradually turned bronze again, and the green trees contrasted with each other, and looked extraordinarily magnificent.

The beauty of the mountain lies in the majestic and towering, steep and upright, the cliffs and cliffs, and the overlapping peaks; The beauty of the mountain lies in the cloudy treetops, the misty stream valley, the green forest and the wind, and the white water stream; The beauty of the mountain lies in the verdant vegetation, the singing of good birds, the glimmer of light in the morning light, and the touch of sunset in the twilight.

The northern mountain range of Guanzhong area is composed of Qiaoshan, Huanglong, Meridian Ridge, Longshan and other lofty mountains from east to west, which is the boundary ridge between the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi and the Weihe Plain in Guanzhong, the loess plateau with ravines in the north, and the Guanzhong Plain in the south.

Longshan is also composed of several lofty mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles, including a Yanggut Gorge.

"Although the Sheep Intestine Gorge is narrow, the terrain in the middle is very flat. The most important thing is that it is a necessary place to go north of Longshan. I expected the enemy to pass through here. Meng Yi made such a judgment after learning about the specific terrain of Longshan through the scout's intelligence.

"I agree with you, but the terrain on both sides of the Sheep Intestine Gorge is too high, how can we climb up with enough manpower?" Meng Tian found a loophole in his tactics and asked.

"Well, that's a problem. The cliff is too steep, and hundreds of people are ambushed to reach the sky. I think we should be optimistic, it is impossible to completely annihilate the enemy anyway, so let's think it is for the sake of Daqin's face-to-face battle. Meng Yi was also a little embarrassed, after all, what can hundreds of people do? Before you can block the valley passes on both sides, the enemy will run out. "Hey, I can only do my best and obey the fate of heaven!"

In the afternoon, the Qin army scouts came to report that they found two nomadic tribes totaling 5,000 people, coming to Yanggut Gorge.

The two tribes of Lou Fu and Lin Hu have a total of 5,000 cavalry, 3,000 Lou Fu and 2,000 Lin Hu.

Walking in front was naturally the three thousand Lou Fu cavalry, and at this moment, the leader of Lou Fu, Huyan White Fox, was a little uneasy.

The leader of the building, Huyan White Fox, is as cunning as a fox as his name. After years of fighting, he felt that the canyon in front of him was not normal. The Linhu cavalry behind also caught up, and 5,000 men and horses blocked the mouth of the canyon.

Meng Yi also noticed that the Lou Fu cavalry was hesitant, and immediately realized that the enemy might be suspicious.

"Instead of missing the opportunity, it's better to take a risk, my brother can lead the rear team to drive away, and if the other party panics, he will definitely venture into the canyon!" Meng Yi suggested.

"Okay." Meng Tian agreed, turned around and thought about it, then turned back and asked, "If the enemy gives up on entering Longshan, should we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?" ”

"Don't! We only have 5,000 men, 500 miles away from the army, and if we encounter the main force of the Huns, we can only be surrounded and wait for death. When Meng Yi heard this, he immediately said resolutely, "We are only responsible for opening a small stove, and we will never pick the big beam!" ”

"Huh...... Only responsible for opening a small stove and never picking up the beams? Interesting. Second brother, you're getting more and more funny! Meng Tian smiled and left.

The mouth of the sheep intestine canyon.

"Brother, why don't you go in and have a look?" Qiu Linye, the leader of Lin Hu, couldn't help but be very surprised when he found that the buildings were crowded at the mouth of the valley.

"I've already sent someone in to investigate, and I'm waiting for news." Huyan White Fox, the leader of Lou Fu, said frankly.

At this moment, an urgent battle report came from behind: a large number of Qin cavalry were found surrounding, and the number was at least 30,000.

Of course, the Qin army led by Meng Tian did not have 30,000 people, only 3,000 people, and Meng Yi led the remaining 2,000 people to set up an ambush at the exit of the canyon. But in order to hurry, the two brothers Meng Yi equipped their men with one man and three horses. Meng Tian was in a hurry at the moment, and let people hang branches all over the back of the horse's tail, creating the illusion of dust. At first glance, the 3,000 Qin army actually had a posture of 30,000 people.

Seeing this, Huyan White Fox, the leader of Lou Fu, couldn't help but be shocked, for fear of being surrounded by the Qin army. The Lou Fu scout, who went to the canyon to investigate, also reported that no ambush soldiers were found in the canyon.

Huyan Baihu, the leader of Lou Fu, thought to himself: I have already sent someone in to investigate, but I have not found the ambush. But it always felt like something was wrong inside. In this case, it is better to fool the Lin Hu people to go in and test it. Anyway, if there is an accident, it will be the Linhu people who die! Just do it!

"Brother, you have few people, it's better to let the brother resist for a while, you go to the canyon first." Huyan Baihu, the leader of Lou Fu, showed a very righteous smile, and his masculine and strong aura came to his face.

"It's okay, I'll fortify on the other side of the canyon, and you guys should withdraw early." Qiu Linye, the leader of Lin Hu, was naturally happy when he saw this, and only hesitated for a moment before agreeing, thinking: Lou is so righteous and angry, and when he goes back, he must give a part of the looted goods to Lou Annoying!

The two thousand Lin Hu people didn't know that they had annoyed Lou and calculated, so they stupidly crashed into the ambush of the Qin army, and crowded densely in a canyon about ten miles long.

Meng Yi waited until the front team of the Linhu people was about to leave the canyon before issuing the order to attack.

All of a sudden, the rolling stones falling from the entrance of the canyon blocked the entrance of the canyon, forming a stone wall two or three meters high. And two thousand Qin troops rushed in from the other end of the canyon.

The sound of killing in the valley suddenly shook the sky! Countless horses lay in pools of blood. The red horse's blood was covered with dust and had turned into bloody mud. The dead horse stared at the sky with wide eyes, and the blue sky and white clouds were reflected in the eyes. But at this time, there was no longer life in those big eyes.

The same tragic scenes continue to happen, without gaps, without pauses, and are so repeated that people don't even want to look at them.

Human life is worthless in troubled times, and it is even cheaper on this battlefield.

Meng Yi was very glad that he was not involved in the fight between the soldiers on both sides, and as a general, he still had command privileges, but at this time he was already frightened. Because if it was a scuffle, Meng Yi was not sure that he would be able to walk off the battlefield alive.

The sun gradually sank below the horizon, the remnant sun was like blood, and the sky was reflected red by half a round of golden black, and the earth was covered with corpses on both sides. Countless crows circled in the sky, and the smell of blood stimulated these beasts did not dare to go down. The corpses were densely spread over a radius of several miles, and Meng Yi could barely see an inch of open space. Corpses on top of each other, death on the pillow of death. Occasionally, one or two were still squirming, but anyone knew they wouldn't live long.

Crawling out of the pile of dead people, that is only in novels. Walking into such a bloody place, no one can come out alive.

The back road of the Linhu people was cut off, and rolling stones fell from the top of their heads from time to time, and the morale of the army was in chaos. And Qiu Linye, the leader of Lin Hu, also understood at this time: Lou is annoying, uneasy, and kind! It is clear that the Lin Hu people are sent to death by exploring the way!

"This is the Hell, this is the Nine Yamas. The stumps and severed arms of people and horses constitute the bloodiest picture in this world. Meng Yi was also very depressed at this time: "The trapped beast is still fighting, and besides, it is two thousand fierce nomadic cavalry!" Unfortunately, the cliff was so steep that it was impossible to send more soldiers up the cliff, otherwise the two thousand men would have been killed without much effort just by throwing stones. And to add insult to injury, it's a bare canyon. There is not a single tree, otherwise one more fire will be one more combat power! ”

In the distance, a sturdy bearded man was shouting, "Stop!" We must fight to the death! We have killed countless ordinary people of the Qin State, and the Qin people will not let us go! ”

"Anyway, it's all a death, it's better to fight!"

"The Qin people will not let us go, it is better to surrender than to die in battle!"

"We have killed so many Qin people, the Qin people will definitely take revenge, it is better to fight to the death!"

Seeing that the leader was leading the desperate digging of the stone wall, the Lin Hu people were also stimulated to be bloody, and they all turned back to fight to the death.

The desperate resistance of the Linhu people failed to save the defeat, but the leader of the Linhu tribe, Qiu Linye, led his henchmen to cut through the stone wall regardless of life and death for the continuation of the entire tribe.

"Under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. ......" Qiu Linye, the leader of Linhu, was hit by a rock, and immediately fell to the ground, and when he was dying, he never forgot this ballad.

It's a pity that Qiu Linye himself was stoned to death by falling rocks. Of course, the leader of Linhu, Qiu Linye, did not die in vain, and his efforts allowed hundreds of Linhu cavalry to escape from Ascension.

Look back at the building again, annoying.

Meng Tian's little trick couldn't be concealed for long, and Huyan Baihu, the leader of Lou Fu, soon found that the Qin army at the mouth of the canyon was only 3,000 people, and even if the Qin army in the canyon was included, it was probably only 5,000 people.

Since the number of people on both sides is about the same, Huyan White Fox, the leader of Loufu, is naturally not afraid of being surrounded and annihilated.

At this time, it happened that hundreds of Linhu cavalry escaped from the valley, and the eyes of Huyan Baihu, the leader of Lou Fu, flashed brightly, and he thought about it: simply annex the Linhu tribe!

Although Qiu Linye, the leader of Linhu, was ambushed and killed by the Qin army, Huyan Baihu, the leader of Loufu, took three thousand Loufu cavalry and hundreds of Linhu cavalry to leave.

Seeing this, Meng Tian only took advantage of the situation to rush and chase for a while, and then retreated.

"It's really bloody! The nomadic cavalry is really brave, and they can still fight such a battle in an ambush! Meng Yi said with emotion, "The two thousand Qin soldiers under my command carried crossbow arrows, and in the end, they suffered three hundred casualties and annihilated more than 1,200 enemies. ”

"You're pretty good compared to me. You have killed at least 1,200 people, and the building opposite me is as annoying as a loach, and the two sides are chasing each other, but they don't fight hard. After half a day, only 50 of the 3,000 men under my command were killed or wounded, and more than 60 enemies were annihilated. Meng Tian smiled bitterly.

In history, Meng Tian was also after the Qin State unified the world, under the order of Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, he commanded an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu in the north, but the Xiongnu fled thousands of miles away and avoided the war. In desperation, the Great Qin Empire had no choice but to mobilize its troops and spend countless amounts of money and grain to build the Great Wall to prevent the invasion of the Huns. In the end, the huge Great Wall project also indirectly dragged down the invincible Great Qin Empire!

"Hehe, fortunately, the ambush was successful, otherwise I really don't know how to go back!" Meng Yi also complained bitterly, "Swimming but not fighting, coming and going like the wind, how to fight this battle!" ”
