Chapter 181: Kill them all!
(Thank you Brother Qian Hua for your support!) )
The moon is like a hook.
After a period of commotion, the Hun camp returned to calm. The Han troops who came to attack the camp had not moved since they had extinguished their torches and ran away, and they did not know where they had gone.
If there is any damage caused by this so-called night attack of the Han army to the Xiongnu army, it is to kill dozens of Xiongnu rangers along the road, and there are no other gains.
It's not that these rangers don't run fast enough, it's that this gang of Han soldiers is too shameless!
Just because there is nothing to gain does not mean that there is no gain. The Xiongnu camp was so troubled by the Han army, and it was impossible to get up for a while, because it was night, and the military minister Shan Yu didn't know what attention the Han army was fighting, so he naturally didn't dare to attack.
After ordering a troop of 10,000 men to stand by in the camp, the military minister himself returned to the tent from the gate and went to sleep.
In his own words, he needs a good spirit.
Tonight's plan for the night attack of the Han army is estimated to be in vain, so the military minister Shan Yu is ready to sleep well first, wait until tomorrow, and then go to trouble the Han army.
But the Han army didn't seem to want the soldiers to sleep peacefully tonight, and after he finally fell asleep, another sergeant came to report that there was another large number of Han troops attacking at night. Because the night darkness can't see the number of the other party clearly, but looking at its momentum, I am afraid that it is only a lot more than the talented Han army!
"Is the Han army crazy?" The military minister opened the curtain door of the big tent in annoyance, stepped on the war horse and ran to the gate, and sure enough, he saw a scene similar to before.
Countless torches, earth-shattering shouts of killing, rushed from the front of the camp!
"Go, let's see what the hell these Han people are messing with!" Looking at the sergeants who hurriedly ran out of the camp to assemble, the military minister gave an order to the commander who was standing by in anger.
I have to say that after some tossing and turning before, this time the Huns gathered much faster than before, and they were no longer so flustered.
Captain Wan was ordered out of the camp and led a team of 10,000 people to meet the Han army who were rushing towards them with a desperate posture.
Not surprisingly, the previous scene reappeared. The 10,000-strong team ran out of the camp not far away, and before they could meet the Han army, the Han army made another big turn, extinguished the torches at the same time, and disappeared in an instant.
Such a gorgeous turn, flowing movements, and a very artistic and beautiful military formation change made the military minister Shan Yu look at it on the sentry tower, and he was so angry that he wanted to jump down from it, rush to those Han soldiers and twist each other's noses and ask: What do you want to do? - If he can catch up with these Han troops.
In the end, the military minister Shan Yu left the depressed and aggrieved captain who wanted to die to guard in front of the gate, and he returned to the big tent with a red face, he really wanted to order: If the Han army does not enter the camp next time, do not disturb him again!
After sitting in the big tent for a long time, calming down and thinking about it, the military minister Shan Yu felt that the reason why the Han army acted like this was definitely a plan.
What exactly is the Han army trying to do?
The military minister didn't understand.
After thinking about it, he decided to send a ranger to the camp of the Han army to check it out. Anyway, the distance between the two armies was only forty miles, which was really not a distance for the cavalry.
The military minister Shan Yu found his own personal army and gave him about 20 people, and asked him to go out from the side gate of the camp, go around a big circle, and go to the side of the Han army camp to have a look, find out what the Han army camp is like, and provide a little information basis for his decision-making.
After the pro-soldier team was ordered to leave, the military minister Shan Yu did not go to sleep again. At this point, no matter how good his psychological quality is, no matter how much he wants to cultivate his spirit, he will not have the slightest sleepiness.
Although the position is not large, the status is noble, and the children of non-Xiongnu nobles cannot do it. Of course, the rice bucket is also incompetent.
After Itu received the military order, he also knew that this matter was very important, and he did not dare to slack off, so he led twenty horsemen and ran out of the side gate of the camp.
Itu first ran west for about twenty miles, but still not at ease, and then ran for nearly ten miles, then turned south, drew a semicircle, and ran for fifty or sixty miles, until he could see a large area of lights in the west, and then stopped.
"You wait here, be careful, don't let the Han rangers find you." After Itu finished explaining to everyone, he led the two horsemen to touch the direction of the Han army camp lightly.
This place is also more than 20 miles away from the Han army camp in a straight line, and Itu is still so cautious that it has to be said that he has also made it home.
Hurrying slowly, he finally arrived at a place only four or five miles away from the Han army camp, Itu let out a sigh, touched the sweat on his forehead, and explained to one of the people next to him: "You and the horse stay here, and I will wait to touch the situation." ”
The man nodded, and Itu dismounted with the other man, handed the reins to the man, and ran quickly towards the Han camp with his own cat.
He ran as fast as he could, but there was no sound coming from his feet. In the dark night, I could only faintly feel a gust of wind passing by, and I couldn't even see my figure!
There are still a lot of rangers of the Han army, the closer to the barracks, the denser the distribution of the rangers, some of these rangers hold torches, walk around with a big grin, and some are quietly slow in the night, the whole figure and the horse body are connected together, in the night just appear darker, do not stare for a long time, can not be found at all.
Itu and one of his men sneaked into the Han army camp from four or five miles away, and he didn't know how many sentinels with torches he had avoided along the way. However, it is not these bright whistles that make them feel a headache and threat, but those dark whistles whose whole body is blended with the night.
Only halfway through, Itu and the two of them solved three waves of dark whistles: this is still unavoidable.
When encountering the fourth wave of dark posts of the Han army, perhaps the reaction of this dark post was indeed more agile and better, but Itu's subordinate was caught off guard, and his chest was cut open by the other party with a long knife, and his internal organs flowed all over the ground, but before he could let out a miserable scream, his head was cut off!
As the head flew into the air, there was a residual clarity in his mind that he could see that Itu's long knife was passing above his neck!
The knife just now was clearly cut by this Itu.
The face of this head, which had a trace of nerves, did not change in any way because he saw this scene, because he saw not one corpse without a head, but two!
While Itu cut off the head of the Han army's secret sentry, he also saw that although the Han cavalry didn't have time to send a warning voice, he subconsciously moved and slashed the long knife on his companion's chest! Itu didn't hesitate, and slashed at his men's necks, slashing his screams back into his stomach!
No sound can be made, otherwise the operation will fail.
After Itu fell down with a corpse in one hand, he wiped a handful of blood from his face, and the figure flashed and disappeared in place.
After the time of half-burnt incense, Itu lay on a low grassy knoll and clearly saw the movements of the Han army in the barracks.
The Han army, which was about seven or eight thousand people, was almost assembled, and their movements were very light, and there was basically no sound, as if they were afraid of alarming something.
At the front of the queue that had already formed, two general-looking people were talking, as if they were saying goodbye.
Itu looked at it for a while, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary, but he didn't know if the information in front of him could be considered useful, so he decided to observe it for a while.
At this time, Itu saw a Han sergeant walk quickly to one of the two generals, and whispered to him, and the general turned back to him, and the sergeant nodded, clenched his fists, and retreated. Then the two Han generals said a few more words, and the other general mounted his war horse and led the army out of the barracks.
When the army left the camp, the movements were still very light, so they walked very slowly.
Itu's gaze followed the general out of the gate, only to lower his head and mutter, and finally he decided to go back and report the news to the military minister Shan Yu, although he couldn't understand anything from the current situation, but Da Shan Yu should be able to gain something.
Having made up his mind, Itu took one last look at the Han military camp and prepared to get up and go back. Then it was this look up that made him suddenly startled in his heart - the Han army general who had just sent him off suddenly disappeared!
Unable to care about much, Itu went first for the second. He took the long knife in his hand, stood up, and was about to run back.
When he turned around, he saw a scene that made him creepy!
One or twenty sword-carrying Han soldiers, forming a semicircle, stood more than a dozen steps behind him, all looking at him with murderous eyes!
As soon as Itu turned around, several torches were lit at once, and a large area was suddenly illuminated.
Itu was just stunned, a cold sweat broke out, looking at the twenty Han soldiers in front of him, he gradually calmed down, and the hand holding the knife couldn't help but tighten.
He knew that today, he would not be able to live!
The soldiers of the Han army looked at him, and he also looked at the Han army, half loud, but no one moved again.
The reason why Itu didn't move was that he didn't have a chance of winning if he moved, so he still had a trace of luck in his heart to survive.
The Han army did not move, but I don't know why.
In the middle of the sound, the two horsemen rushed and stopped outside the Han army.
Itu glanced at the two of them, and one of them was clearly the Han army general he had seen earlier who had disappeared later!
The two horsemen stopped at the periphery of the crowd, and at this time they came from a distance, and the rider approached the general of the Han army, and reported: "General, there are twenty people in total, one is dead, and nineteen are alive, what to do, please show the general!" ”
Even though he had already prepared for the worst when he came, Itu was still startled when he heard this, and the long knife in his hand shook violently.
Qin Cheng looked at Itu and said lightly to the ranger: "Do you still need to ask, naturally it is-kill them all!" ”
"No!" The sergeant promised to retire.
"Wait!" Qin Cheng stopped him, "Did you ask which Xiongnu leader it was?" ”
"It's the military minister Shan Yu's personal soldiers!" The sergeant replied.
"Oh, it's the military minister Shan Yu's personal soldiers." Qin Cheng suddenly responded, and then showed a sinister smile, "Kill them all!" ”
"No!"
Itu's heart ached, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood! He closed his eyes in pain, gave these brothers of his a ride in his heart, and then glanced at Qin Cheng fiercely, and wiped his neck with a knife!
"Dang!" With a bang, Itu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the long knife that had fallen to the ground in disbelief, and then looked up at Qin Cheng.
He saw that the person beside Qin Cheng was making the action of retracting the bow. Obviously, Fang Cai's arrow was his masterpiece.
Itu wanted to ask, why didn't you let me die?
Before he could ask, someone asked for him.
"Ran Min is good at archery!" Qin Cheng glanced at the sergeant beside him and said with a smile.
"Why didn't the general kill him?" Ran Min put away his longbow and asked.
Qin Cheng smiled without saying a word, took two steps forward, stopped beside Itu in his puzzled and resentful eyes, looked down at Itu's eyes, the smile on his face was still there, and asked: "The personal soldier of the military minister Shan Yu, then you must know how the royal court goes, right?" ”
