Chapter Ninety-Five: This Battle Can't Be Fought
"From the very beginning, you thought that you would think that there were only more than 2,000 people and five small teams in the south, but don't you think that the more you act like this, the more your true intentions will be exposed?"
Qin Cheng looked at Yi Xue'er and said for a long time.
A very ordinary sentence, Qin Cheng's tone of speech was also extremely flat, and he even looked a little pale, but Yi Xue'er listened to it in her heart, and for a while she frowned and fell into deep thought.
"From the very beginning, you did not hesitate to use four hundred horsemen as bait to let us eat the sweetness, and then you besieged Yangzigou and Xiaohua City without attacking, leaving before our army arrived, and then did not retaliate against our army, but began to attack villages and towns near and far, isn't this all to make us think that you only have 2,000 cavalry, and you can't fight with my army and can only make some small moves? In the future, you pretended to attack the camp of my army, didn't you also make it look like you wanted to take revenge on my army when you were not so angry? You have calculated that our army will not dare to act rashly, and you have calculated that my army will not be able to bear your provocations after all the previous behaviors, so that in the future, you will lead people to disappear for nearly ten days, so that my army will think that you have retreated and then pull out the army and return to the camp, and you will merge and attack Yangzigou again, isn't it just to make us completely think that you only have 2,000 cavalry and completely anger the soldiers of our Han army at the same time, and let my army enter the trap you have already designed?
You are so deliberate, step by step, and willing to give up the capital, willing to put the bait, it can be said that your purpose has actually achieved most of it, and in the end, almost no one in our army is not as angry as you want, and wants to take down you at any cost. ”
Qin Cheng's tone was flat, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.
Speaking of this, Qin Cheng deliberately paused slightly. And some of the generals of the Han army who had indeed complained about Qincheng before were all blushing at this time, and their heads were lowered, especially Ma Dashan and others, who felt that their faces were lost to their grandmother's house, and they also felt that they couldn't live in Qincheng, and no one was ashamed and embarrassed, and their heads were almost attached to their chests. At this time, Qin Cheng's eyes were cast intentionally or unintentionally, which made Ma Dashan and the others really eager to dig a hole in the ground.
Qin Cheng saw the embarrassed looks of Ma Dashan and the others, and sneered in his heart, secretly saying Who is the boss of this cavalry department, but now you have figured it out? Dare to question Lao Tzu's orders before?!
"This is a good calculation, I think even if Sun Wu of Guigu is alive, it is nothing more than that, but it's a pity ......"
When Qin Cheng said this, he stopped and didn't go on.
Yi Xue'er naturally knew what Qin Cheng meant, she reached out and brushed the green silk on her forehead, revealing a relieved smile, her face was full of tiredness after a few days of running, but this smile made this tiredness have a touch of desolation:
"It's a pity that I met you, didn't I? If it weren't for you Qincheng, this strategy of mine would not have failed no matter what, and I couldn't say that at this time, I was already sitting in the county guard mansion of Qiansang City and sipping Ming tea. Speaking of which, I'm very strange, you have a cloth cloth and no background, how can you be so talented as Sun Wu in Guigu? ”
Maybe it was Qin Cheng's previous words that he praised Yi Xue'er, or maybe Qin Cheng untied Yi Xue'er's heart knot, Yi Xue'er seemed calm when she said this, and even had a little bit of ridicule.
Hearing Yi Xue'er praise Qin Cheng so much, Ma Dashan and the others cast their eyes on Qin Cheng, and the generals thought of what Qin Cheng had done this time, first seeing through Yi Xue'er's almost seamless military strategy, and then taking the light cavalry that had only been in the camp for four months to run thousands of miles to attack the desert where no Han people had set foot, and achieved an unprecedented victory, such behavior, even if Sun Wu was really alive, I am afraid that it is nothing more than that, right?
Thinking like this, everyone's eyes looking at Qin Cheng suddenly became hot.
There are some words that work much better from the mouths of others, especially from the mouths of enemies, than from one's own.
"If I say it's talent, can you believe it?" Qin Cheng said plausibly, his eyes playful, "The sky descended on Qin, the sky wants to kill you as a great Hun, can you believe it?" ”
As soon as Qin Cheng's words came out, everyone present was shocked, no one would have thought that Qin Cheng would say this so naturally.
It was like, in Qin Cheng's opinion, this was a very ordinary but bland sentence.
Almost at the same time, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Cheng.
Qin Cheng still had that casual appearance, and he didn't seem to be unnatural because he said something that didn't fit the scene.
When she looked at Yi Xue'er again, her hand was already on the hilt of the knife, and at this time she leaned forward slightly, as if she was preparing to ride out of the horse, and the Hun cavalry behind Yi Xue'er, including King Zuo Xian, all looked at Qin Cheng with an angry expression, and their hands held the hilt of the knife one after another!
Seeing the Huns making such a move, the Han army was naturally not willing to lag behind, although without Qin Cheng or Li Guang's order, they would not draw their swords and rush towards the Huns in front of them, but this did not prevent them from showing the same killing intent.
The big war is about to break out.
Because of his own words, the two sides will meet each other, I don't know if Qin Cheng is more proud or worried at this time.
In fact, Qin Cheng's expression was as usual, looking at Yi Xue'er lightly.
"Arrogant words are of no use other than to make you die earlier." Yi Xue'er said coldly, her body keeping her movements unchanged.
She was not moved by Qin Cheng's agitation.
"Then it depends on what his enemies are capable of." Qin Cheng said calmly.
Qin Cheng's hand had never been put on the hilt of the knife.
"Are you despising the Great Huns?" Yi Xue'er squinted her eyes and asked with a gloomy face, a faint murderous aura bursting out of her. Her hand holding the knife had already made a half-drawn motion, and it only took a little more to unsheath the long knife at Ixelle's waist.
"All those who are against the big men are self-conscious, this does not need my contempt, I just need to make them wake up, or, destroy them." Qin Cheng raised his left hand, wiped the nail of his middle finger with his thumb, and didn't look at Yi Xue'er.
was obviously a very domineering sentence, but he said it lightly.
But the effect is not bad, or even better, because his tone is so unmistakable.
"You're looking for death!"
It was not Yi Xue'er who shouted angrily, but the brocade-clothed man behind Yi Xue'er, King Zuo Xian.
He endured it for a long time, but finally he couldn't hold it back and wanted to give the order to attack.
"Don't move!" Seeing this, Yi Xue'er snorted coldly.
Angry and angry, even if she is a woman, she is also full of momentum.
This furious voice seemed to shout out her unwillingness to lose this battle, what a bad word!
The Hun cavalry stopped what they had just made and were silent.
The Han cavalry looked stunned.
Yi Xue'er looked at Qin Cheng with a cold face: "General Qin Cheng Qin!" You did win this battle, but this princess is not the slightest interested in such a boring thing as being quick to speak! If you have the guts, let's see you on the battlefield next time! ”
After speaking, Yi Xue'er twisted the horse's head, turned back, and no longer looked at Qin Cheng, trampled the horse away, leaving a cold word: "Withdraw!" ”
More than 5,000 Hun cavalry, after receiving the order of Yi Xue'er, retreated to the north under the cover of each other, and the action was crisp.
Looking at the figure of Yi Xue'er leading the Hun cavalry to retreat, Qin Cheng was speechless.
At this time, Ma Dashan asked idiotically: "Do you want to chase?" ”
Qin Cheng turned the horse's head, his momentum changed suddenly, he glanced at Ma Dashan, and his tone was cold: "Withdraw!" ”
When Ma Dashan came into contact with Qin Cheng's eyes, he only felt extremely cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and faced a bottomless abyss! Ma Dashan shivered, touched his forehead, was covered with cold sweat, and couldn't help but say: How can there be such terrifying eyes in this world?
And what made Qin Cheng show such a look?
……
"Sister, why did you withdraw?"
Zuo Xianwang's face was unhappy, and there was some questioning in his tone, after all, Yi Xue'er was a Buddha in public.
Yi Xue'er sneered, "Qin Cheng wants to use his own way to treat others, provoke me and others, and let me wait to enter his trap, but there is no door!" ”
"Oh?"
King Zuo Xian sighed, unable to tell what it meant.
"The cavalry in front of the Han army formation has strong armor and sharp weapons, and even the war horses are also armored, which has never appeared before. The reason why Ashina was defeated is that I think it has nothing to do with these things. And I can't say what else the Han army has to do, if we attack rashly, he will wait for work, but I am afraid that our losses will be great. ”
After Icher finished speaking, she sighed and looked up at the northern sky.
"This battle has been lost, and there is no point in fighting again."
"Hmm." King Zuo Xian nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "What does it mean to treat others in the way of others?" ”
“……”
……
The Huns and the Han army collected their troops one after another, and the Han army did not return to Yangtou Town, Li Guang asked the military marquis of Yangtou Town to bring the soldiers and horses of his headquarters back to the town directly, and he and Li Guang personally led the army back to the Qiansang military camp.
At this time, it is neither early nor late.
On the way back, the Han cavalry were in high spirits, and many sergeants even sang with Li Guang's tacit consent.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve.
Since giving the order to retreat, Qin Cheng hadn't said a word, and there had been silence all the way, and everyone didn't know what he was thinking.
"Qin Lang, just now we can impact the Hun army formation for a while, with the combat power of the heavy cavalry, it should not be difficult to achieve good results." Li Guang saw that Qin Cheng was still not in high spirits after a big victory, and he didn't know why, so he took the lead in breaking the silence.
Qin Cheng shook his head and said seriously: "This battle can't be fought. ”
"Why?" Li Guang asked with interest.
He originally thought that Qin Cheng would analyze a new set of truths from the art of war, which often appeared in the conversations between Li Guang and Qin Cheng in the past, but Qin Cheng's next words made Li Guang inevitably disappointed.
At the same time, there was also shock, which made Li Guang speechless for a while.
Qin Cheng said, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
He looked up at the sky and said in a slanken tone, "I want to bring a few more brothers home safely for the New Year." ”
