Chapter 14: Good Luck
"Whoop~~"
Even with half of their comrades killed in the battle, the Hun cavalry still roared and rushed towards the oncoming Han cavalry array, and the long knives in their hands were waving overhead.
At this moment, they began to have the same hatred in their hearts as the Han army.
It is the hatred of losing loved ones and companions.
In the middle of this group of Hun cavalry, a group of sturdy men locked their eyes on Li Guang in the opposite military formation.
Li Guang controlled the war horse very well, holding the reins in one hand and holding the long knife in the other, the long knife pointed directly at the Hun soldiers in front of him, as if pointing out the direction for the Han cavalry behind him. This god of war of the Han border army is extremely eye-catching at this moment. Not only because he is wearing a different general's robe, but also because of his killing and general temperament.
The eyes are like eagles, the figure is like electricity, and the momentum is like a rainbow!
Behind Li Guang, only following twenty or thirty horsemen, Li Dang was impressively in the ranks, including the thirty-year-old man who stood behind Li Guang in the capital test, and a thin figure that seemed extremely uncoordinated. If Qin Cheng saw this young man, he would be able to recognize him at a glance, he was the white-faced little guy who admitted defeat after attacking himself three moves in the sword technique subject when he tried it, because, in his hand, it was not a long knife, but a long sword!
"Kill!"
Li Guang roared, causing countless soldiers to roar in unison, and the next moment, the two cavalry formations clashed again, displaced, and mixed!
The flying dust whirled into the faces of the cavalry of the two armies, and the next thing it hit was the enemy's long knife!
In this encounter, the Hun soldiers who rushed towards Li Guang were obviously more than double as just now, and those Hun cavalry who were almost intentionally lined up in a row when they rushed into the formation, rushed towards Li Guang one after another, and chopped off the long knives in their hands!
Li Guang felt the pressure doubled, and the long knives flashed in front of him one after another, as if there was no end, but his face was still calm, and the long knife in his hand was like a dragon, as fierce as a tiger and wolf, and while resolving crises again and again, he coldly slashed into the body of the Huns in front of him!
Seeing this, the twenty or thirty cavalry behind Li Guang turned even redder in their eyes, and they desperately rode their war horses and rushed to Li Guang's side to share some pressure for Li Guang. For these twenty or thirty horsemen, Li Guang's life is more important than everything, even more important than his own life.
Because, they are pro-soldiers!
After several pro-soldiers fought for the cost of their lives, Li Guang's pressure was finally relieved. By this time, the cavalry of the two armies had almost staggered.
Blood and life once again stained the earth red.
"Hiss~~"
"Hiss~~"
"Hiss~~"
“……”
The war horse neighed, and the Han cavalry, which had rushed through the Hun cavalry formation, began to turn their horses' heads, preparing to face the Huns again and make the next charge.
Just now, they had killed almost two-thirds of the charging Hun cavalry. These Han cavalry believed that as long as there were two more charges, these Hun cavalry would die here!
However, when they turned their horses' heads, they discovered a shocking scene!
Those Hun cavalry who rushed through the Han cavalry formation did not turn their horses' heads, but rushed straight into the mountain pass post road when they came!
"Father, they're going to run away, chase it!" As soon as Li Dang saw that the Huns were about to flee, and saw that there were not many of them, he shouted anxiously at Li Guang.
Li dared to speak, and the surrounding Han cavalry looked at Li Guang one after another, and the burning meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"Shut up!" Li Guang watched more than a hundred Hun cavalry running away, and the old face covered with blood was cloudy.
"Father, the Huns have fled, now is the best time to pursue! I only need more than 100 horsemen, and I will definitely be able to cut off the heads of those Huns and make contributions to the Han Dynasty! Li Dang's blood boiled over a killing became even more enthusiastic at this moment, and his red eyes were full of hideousness and bloodthirstiness.
"Li Kang!" Li Guang shouted, "If you dare to talk about military aircraft again, military law will deal with it!" ”
With that, the long knife was returned to its sheath, and he turned back and ordered: "Quickly clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded." Then leave some foot soldiers to bury the fallen soldiers, and the rest wait for half an hour to set off with the general, and the troops will be sent to the capital, be sure to arrive before sunset! ”
"No!"
Li Dang let out a sigh of annoyance, returned the long knife to the sheath, turned his horse back, and followed Li Guang.
In this battle, the Han army with three times nearly 2,000 cavalry against the Xiongnu hundreds of cavalry, to the Xiongnu with more than 100 cavalry escaped, the Han cavalry was damaged by nearly one-third, even in Li Guang's decades of military career, such a big battle is uncommon. And the loss of five or six hundred cavalry made his face no longer better.
The strength of the Hun cavalry can be seen from this.
This nation has lived on horseback since childhood, every adult man is a natural warrior, and more than ten years of life with horses as a companion have made their horse kung fu perfect, and fighting with such an enemy is undoubtedly a thankless task for the cavalry of the Han army, which has no advantage in weapons and tactics now.
The sun was shining, and the Han army began to clean up the battlefield. I have to say, in every sense of the word, this is not a pleasant thing.
Unfortunately, the heavy infantry Ertun Eighteen Shi, where Qincheng is located, encountered this incident. In fact, the entire 100 heavy infantry people in the second tun were left behind, in addition to cleaning the battlefield with other soldiers at this time, they also had to stay to bury the fallen soldiers later.
In other words, the heavy infantry Ertun could not follow Li Guang to Shangdu. According to the arrangement, after burying the fallen soldiers on the spot, they had to obediently return to Qiansang City.
Li Guang was in a hurry to lead the army to Shangdu, especially after the battle just now. Therefore, the main forces cannot stay, but can only be divided into a small part to deal with the aftermath.
Qin Cheng took the eighteen soldiers, together with other soldiers, and began to clean the battlefield under the scorching sun.
A round of scorching sun, dust vaguely filled the low sky, the air seemed to become distorted in blood, a place of blood, stained red yellow soil, dotted with countless broken limbs, bare internal organs, the sun reflected a little dazzling light on the mess, the unwillingness, reluctance, and fear of the dead soldiers set off even more hideous.
Qin Cheng spilled a intestine on the ground, and the round-eyed soldier crouched down beside him, trying to remove his hand from his stomach, but no matter how hard Qin Cheng tried, the stiff corpse never moved at all. couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Qin Cheng picked up the soldier's intestines from the ground with both hands, and carefully stuffed them into his abdominal cavity little by little. After doing all this, even Qin Cheng, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, couldn't help but moisten his eyes, and a sense of awe rose in his heart.
This is the purest military man, and the greatest military man. For the sake of what they guarded, they did not hesitate, and finally did not hesitate to shroud the body in horse leather.
Horse leather shroud, what a tragic word!
There are no fixed riverside bones, and people in the dream of spring boudoirs.
Qin Cheng was in a trance for a while.
"Shi Chang, are you okay, do you want to vomit?" Wu Daliang squatted down beside Qin Cheng, put one hand on his back, and said with concern.
"It's fine." Qin Cheng showed an unharmed smile to Wu Daliang and forced himself to retract his mind.
"If this recruit goes to war for the first time, he will vomit. Such a fishy smell, people who see it for the first time really can't stand it. Wu Daliang was afraid that Qin Cheng would hold on, so he comforted.
"I'm fine." Qin Cheng walked up to the head of the fallen soldier in front of him and motioned for Wu Daliang to help lift him up.
After transporting away a few soldiers who were still alive and alive for a quarter of an hour in a row, Wu Daliang couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that this expedition would turn back halfway through, and I didn't even touch a single hair of the Huns." Ay! What an unwillingness! ”
After two quarters of an hour of cleaning, some of the corpses that stood in the pass had been cleaned up. At this time, the Han army had already assembled in the form of a marching army, and it seemed that it was about to be pulled out immediately.
Qin Cheng looked up at the thousands of soldiers in front of him who were ready to go, and the sense of loss in his heart was even heavier, "Yes, I didn't expect that the first time I went to battle with the army in my life, I was just cleaning up the corpses of my companions." ”
"If Lao Tzu is a cavalryman, Lao Tzu will also come forward to fight the Huns for 300 rounds! Grandma's, I knew that today, Lao Tzu was not a bird infantry back then, it's really aggrieved! From afar, Dong Chu's voice reached the ears of Qin Cheng and Wu Daliang, "Uncle is suffocated!" ”
Qin Cheng and Wu Da smiled and said, "Dong Chu's words are good. ”
"What, I heard that General Li Guang summoned you when he was trying to do it, so you didn't mention to him that you wanted to be a cavalryman?" Wu Daliang remembered what Qin Cheng had said before and asked.
"I am innocent and have no military exploits, how can I make such a request to the general? Originally, I was expecting to be able to make some gains on the battlefield this time, and then make plans, but now it seems that the possibility is also very small. I don't know if I'm out of luck. Qin Cheng shook his head helplessly.
"That's true, but it's a waste of your skills." Wu Daliang said sincerely.
"Who can tell you what is fate?" Qin Cheng could only laugh at himself.
Wu Daliang paused, and said with a smile: "But I don't think that the fate of Shi Chang will not be so bad." ”
"Really? Let's hope so! Qin Cheng said casually, and then smiled with Wu Da.
Suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and there was a faint roar.
Qin Cheng laughed halfway, stopped abruptly, motioned for Wu Daliang to stop, felt half a loud sound, leaned down again, put his ear to the ground, and listened carefully.
Wu Daliang was puzzled for a moment, and then reacted and made the same action as Qin Cheng.
After a while, Qin Cheng stood up, his eyes looked in the direction of the retreat of more than 100 remnants of the Xiongnu before, and his face was solemn.
"Did you hear that, too?"
"I hear you."
Qin Cheng looked around again and said, "This kind of terrain is quite rare in the Upper Valley, right?" ”
"It's really rare. Not only is it rare, but it's also a good fit. Wu Daliang's eyes had already begun to sparkle with excitement. I had a vague feeling strange before, but I couldn't tell what was strange. The Huns have always fought when they can win, and run away if they can't win, so why should they touch our nearly 2,000 cavalry with just a few hundred people this time. Now that I think about it, I finally understand. ”
"It's not too late to understand."
Wu Daliang looked at Qin Cheng with bright eyes, and said, "It seems that what I just said is right, but your fate will not be so bad." ”
Qin Cheng smiled slightly, "Thank you for auspicious words, and you will be the same." ”
Qin Cheng and Wu Daliang laughed at the same time.
"The Heavy Infantry Division, Ertun and Eighteen Shi are all assembled!" Qin Cheng suddenly roared.
Almost at the same time, in the camp of the Han army, which was already about to set off, a heavy horn sounded suddenly.
