"Gifts?" Zhao Yi's words made Tai Shi Ci and Murong Fu very strange, in Tai Shi Ci's opinion, even if Zhao Yi was resourceful, he could use 5,000 soldiers to block the 50,000 Xiongnu army. But that is only to be able to stop the Qiangqu, if you really want to defeat the Qiangqu, you still need to stand on the battlefield.
With the thousands of defenders in Guangning County, how could it be the opponent of 50,000 Hun soldiers, even though Tai Shici knew that Zhao Yi wanted to fight back and forth with the defenders of Guangning County and destroy the 50,000 Xiongnu army. The idea was good, but Tai Shici felt that Zhao Yi had overlooked a very serious problem, and the morale of the Hun soldiers had greatly increased at this time, and their fighting spirit was unstoppable. If his army was too far away from the Hun soldiers, Tai Shici was afraid that before his army passed, the county town of Guangning would have been broken by the Hun army.
Tai Shi Ci had repeatedly asked Zhao Yi to speed up, but Zhao Yi was still walking so slowly, which made Tai Shi Ci feel very weak.
"Captain Hugh shall be alarmed, if we hurry to catch up. Once it is close to the Hun army. It is very likely that the Qiangqu department will turn the gun on us. At that time, our soldiers will be in danger. "Zhao Yi knows the strength of his soldiers very well, although there has been the training of Wuhuan cavalry and General Tai Shici in the past few months, but the strength of the sergeants is still a distance compared to the Hun army, not to mention that Zhao Yi's department has more infantry at this time, and the cavalry of the brigade will definitely be dead or alive.
Zhao Yi was indeed very thoughtful, Tai Shici and the others couldn't help but sigh, but if the army continued like this, Guangning County would be in danger. Seeing the indifferent smile on Zhao Yi's face, Tai Shici's hanging heart was slowly put back into his stomach. Although Zhao Yi is young, he can often do unexpected things, and this time may be no exception.
Putting aside feelings, Zhao Yi is still Youzhou Mu, if the county seat of Guangning is lost, and if the Xiongnu have laid a base in the interior, the court will be blamed at that time. Even if Zhao Yi didn't think about the thousands of soldiers in Guangning County, for the sake of his official position, Zhao Yi would not allow an accident in Guangning County.
With Zhao Yi and others slowly and leisurely hurry without hate, the Qiangqu Department is moving fast, a quarter of an hour ago has come to the realm of Guangning County, the Xiongnu pass through the village is empty, the breeze in the street through the vertical and horizontal, rolling up layers of fallen leaves.
"Chief, there is no one in this village. The furniture in the house remained intact, but the food and softness were gone. "The soldier who went to explore the path came back and reported. When they first saw the village, these Hun soldiers rushed into the village like wild horses on the loose. They wanted to plunder the people, but they found that there was no one in the village, and their plan fell through.
Qiang Qu looked at the layers of houses in front of him, and secretly shook his head in his heart, it seems that the villagers around Guangning County have left the village a few days ago.
"Is there any movement in the official army led by Tai Shi Ci?" Qiang Qu asked.
"The leader sent news from Tanma half an hour ago, and there was no change in Tai Shici's department, and he still followed behind my department unhurriedly." The general bowed down and said, Tai Shi Ci's department is moving slowly, if he waits for their army to arrive, Guangning County is estimated to be in his own hands.
Qiang Qu was very contemptuous of Tai Shi Ci's behavior, and said in his heart that it had come to such a moment, and Tai Shi Ci's subordinates should rush to the aid of every second, instead of delaying time like this.
"The official army still wants to preserve its strength at this time, how can it be undefeated!" Qiang Qu snorted coldly and ordered his soldiers: "The army is marching towards Guangning County!" ”
"Leader, slow down, I think there's something wrong with that." An old man who looked like a strategist stepped out of his horse, caressing his long beard, his eyes moving flexibly.
Qiangqu, who did not have a good face in the lower part of the hand, treated this person very politely: "What does Mr. think is wrong?" ”
The strategist frowned and shook his head slightly: "I just think that the movements of the officers and soldiers are a little strange. I just haven't figured it out yet. "Although Tai Shici is the acting lieutenant of the county, he has the right to control the soldiers and horses. However, the soldiers and horses of Wen Chou and Murong Fu who galloped from Youzhou for hundreds of miles were not Daijun soldiers and horses, but the Youzhou army directly led by Youzhou Mu Zhao Yi.
The strategist took out the unburned grass rhizome from his bosom, his eyes flashed, and the horsetail and fire grass burned all over the grain and grass camp, who came up with such a clever plan? If Tai Shi Ci had such resourcefulness, he was afraid that a few days ago, the Xiongnu's grain and grass camp had been burned down, and An Neng had been safely preserved to this day.
And his own department has been fighting with Youzhou soldiers and horses for ten days, but Youzhou Mu Zhao Yi has not appeared, which makes the strategist feel a little more jealous when he is happy. Zhao Yi is a terrible person, the young man became famous and broke the yellow scarf, and punished Montenegro. Even the cavalry of the Nanlou Department did not get a bargain when they fought with it.
Moreover, this strategist has always had a conjecture in his heart that it was Zhao Yi's idea to destroy his grain and grass last night.
Zhao Yi burned the grain and grass in order to retreat the Xiongnu army without a fight. Qiang Qu's desperate and desperate actions may have been unexpected by Zhao Yi, which is also the reason why Qiang Qu insisted on sending troops and he did not stop it.
But now the actions of the officers and soldiers are quite strange, which makes him feel a little panicked. So he opened his mouth to persuade Qiang Qu: "Chief, the official army is acting strangely at this moment, it is better for us to withdraw the army first, and then look for an opportunity to take revenge in the future." "The strategist is right, it is not too late to withdraw the army, everything is in time.
Qiang Qu heard the words of this strategist, and the firm battle intent in his heart loosened a little, and then returned to normal: "Sir, don't panic, our cavalry moves quickly, and its combat strength far exceeds that of the official army, even if there is any emergency, our soldiers can quickly break through." ”
There are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, plus 5,000 soldiers and horses in Guangning County. However, with 55,000 soldiers and horses, no matter what conspiracy and combat power there is, they can't compete with the soldiers of the Qiangqu Division.
Qiang Qu was very confident in the combat power of his troops and horses, believing that any conspiracy and trickery would be vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.
"The army continues to march towards Quang Ninh County!" Qiangqu gave the order again.
Standing on the city wall of Guangning, the county order and the building are full of eyes from afar, and the dust is raised at the junction of heaven and earth in the south, and the murderous atmosphere is rushing towards you.
With so many Hun soldiers, Lou Man and the county order are the first time, Lou Man followed Nanlou many times to fight with the Xianbei tribe, and has a certain combat experience. Although the county commander held the power of life and death in a county, he never led troops to fight. On that day, the Yellow Turban Turmoil and the military disaster did not spread to Quang Ninh County.
Even with the support of Zhao Yi's clever plan, at this time, the 50,000 elite horsemen of the Huns came to attack, and the county commander was still very nervous in his heart, especially when he saw a shaking black line in the south, he was trembling unconsciously.
Looking at the black pressure and the fine horse, Lou Man was also a little stunned in his heart, but he was very calm on the surface. He has led the troops for many years, and he naturally understands the way, if the commander of the troops is nervous, how can the soldiers below be able to stay at ease from the ground, not to mention that this time it is a battle with such a strong opponent of the Hun army. There is no room for mistakes.
"My lord, have you done what Lord Zhao Yi explained?" Seeing that this was less than ten miles away from the Hun army, Lou Man turned his head and asked.
The county commander's voice trembled a little and said, "Everything has been done." The county commander looked at the calm Lou Man, "General, the subordinate has a reluctant request and hopes that the general will agree." ”
"Say." Lou Man secretly said that the Han people have many rules, and this is already a critical moment, and he still says something reluctant, just say it directly.
"Although the lower official is the commander of Guangning County, he has never led the troops to fight, so he wants to put the command of the county army in the hands of the general, I wonder if the general can agree?" The county commander asked, and he was self-aware, knowing that he was not the material to lead the troops to fight, so he wanted to concentrate the power of leading the troops in the hands of one person. The reason for this question is that the county order is afraid that the building is full and does not dare to accept.
Because this matter is extremely dangerous, if it succeeds, everyone will naturally be happy, but if it fails, the blame will naturally be borne by Lou Man, who led the troops. It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is normal for Lou Man to refuse. As for the reason for refusal, it was too simple, Zhao Yi just asked him to pass the order, and did not give him an order to take over the army. This reason alone will make the prefectural order speechless.
If this matter is messed up in the hands of the county commander, even if the Hun soldiers will not kill him, Zhao Yi will definitely not spare himself, he also understands the importance of Guangning County, if Guangning County is broken by the Hun soldiers, then the surrounding counties will not be able to stop the Hun soldiers at all. If the court blames it, because of the previous work, Zhao Yi may be spared death, but he has no backing in the imperial court, Zhao Yi has fallen, and all the things can only be carried down, and the court will not put him to death at that time.
Different from what the county magistrate thought, Lou Man said happily: "Okay! "The building is full of Wuhuan generals, and there is no such twists and turns in the Wuhuan tribe as there is no such twists and turns in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had no idea of the danger of this at all. Instead, I felt that the county commander was nervous, and instead of letting him lead the troops, it was better for me to replace him.
The county commander showed a relieved expression on his face, and handed over the command of the soldiers to Lou Man's hands: "General Guangning all the soldiers and horses are under the command of the general. ”
Lou Man nodded, took the arrow of the leading order, looked up at the situation of the Hun army, he couldn't help but sigh, the Hun tribe is worthy of being the grassland eagle of the year, and the soldiers can still maintain such a high fighting spirit. And the speed of the war horse is extremely fast, in just half an hour, it is less than five miles away from the county seat of Guangning, the shouting and killing sound from the mouth of the Hun soldiers came from afar, Lou Man took a deep breath, waved his hand and ordered: "Archers prepare!" ”
Lou Man was born in Wuhuan and was good at charging on the battlefield, but he couldn't defend the city, but fortunately, Zhao Yi did not let Lou Man and others defend the city. This made Lou Man very confident in dealing with the Xiongnu army.
Seeing the banner on the wall of Guangning County in the wind, the archer's longbow is full like a full moon, and the sharp arrow tips flash in the cold light under the sunshine, Qiangqu waved his big hand, and the soldiers stopped in unison, and the soldiers walked out quickly with the ladder.
"Attack!"
