Chapter 369: Fiction and Reality
It was quiet outside the camp of the Rouran, it was already June, and there were a lot of insect chirpings in the wild, but these insect chirpings suddenly disappeared, and then there was a large number of dull horses' hooves, the horses' hooves were wrapped, although there was a sound, they could not penetrate far, and insects were the most sensitive creatures, they knew all dangers.
A few Rouran rangers who happened to pass by spotted this sudden cavalry, and immediately prepared to warn, and after a few "whoosh" sounds, several Rouran rangers fell off their horses one after another.
"Keep going!" The leading centurion ordered in a low voice, and continued to lead the group towards the Rouran camp without any stops.
At this time, a scream of "chirp-" suddenly came from not far away, and the faces of the centurion and the cavalry behind him changed, this is the sound of the hammer, only the sound of the arrow can make this sound, it is obviously a warning.
Gotcha, exposed!
As expected, there were several chirps in front of him, like a relay race, all the way to the camp of the Rouran people, and the camp was boiling instantly, and a large number of Rouran soldiers brought weapons and bows and arrows to quickly find their war horses and began to assemble in the open space.
"Go find that sentry and kill it, and follow it after you kill it!" The centurion gave an order to the cavalry, and then continued with the rest of the horses towards the Rouran camp.
About a mile closer to the camp of the Rouran, Centurion Lerma stopped to observe the situation of the Rouran, and found that they were almost ready to complete their assembly, and they must be looking for death when they rushed up.
After pondering for a while, the centurion decided not to move for the time being, anyway, I am in the dark, and the enemy is in the light, and if I do not move, the enemy will be suspicious and will not dare to move.
The Rouran cavalry quickly completed the assembly and could meet the invading enemy at any time, but at this time, there was suddenly no movement outside the camp, and everything became quiet again.
And those Rouran soldiers who were supposed to rest were also woken up, and they were still sleeping at this time, and they also got up and prepared for battle under the orders of the little marshal and the generals.
After a full moment, Xiao Shuai Hu Hehan stretched out his hand and pressed it on his chest and said to Pi Lixian: "Tong Lifa, this situation is not right, why is Wei Jun not moving?" Could it be that they saw that we were ready and withdrew? ”
Pi Li said: "It's not impossible······ So, send a team of people to touch it and take a look! ”
"Yes!" Hu Hehan agreed, and quickly assigned a cavalry to run out of the camp on horseback and run in the direction of the Wei army's hundreds, and soon disappeared into the night.
"Whoosh ······" After a rain of arrows fell, the Yi Shi Rouran cavalry who came out to investigate the truth and reality all confessed, fell off their horses in turn, and died silently.
After another moment, the cavalry sent out just now was never seen returning, Pi Lixian's expression became more and more solemn, and a group of men and horses disappeared silently?
At this time, looking at the darkness of the night ahead, the night seems to be a devouring monster, as long as you send people out, you may be devoured to the point that there is not even a slag left.
At this time, more than a dozen generals gathered around Pi Lixian, and one of the generals asked worriedly: "Tong Lifa, what should I do?" Could it be that we have been waiting for Wei Jun to appear like this? If they don't show up, we can't wait all night, can we? ”
Pi Li pondered for a moment and asked his subordinates: "What do you generals think should be done?" ”
A general said: "Tong Lifa, if you want me to say that I will send 5,000 men and horses out directly, no matter who the fuck is, kill them directly!" ”
Someone immediately objected: "Fart! Do you know how many men and horses there are in the Wei army? What if you fall into an ambush by the Xianbei people? ”
"So what do you say?"
"Alright, stop arguing!" Pi Li spoke first to stop the quarrel among his generals, he thought for a while, and ordered: The First Army will send a building out to have a look, and once it encounters the Wei army, it will immediately warn and report! ”
The general of the First Army pressed his chest and promised: "Yes, Tong Lifa!" ”
After receiving the order, the cavalry of Rouran in the direction of the warning sound under the leadership of Xiao Shuai, and soon disappeared into the night.
Soon after, a large number of shouts and screams suddenly came from the darkness of the night.
The Wei army is indeed hiding in the dark!
The faces of Pi Lixian and the generals under his command changed greatly, and the little handsome Hu Hehan immediately said to Pi Lixian: "Tong Lifa, my subordinates request to send troops to rescue immediately, if you hesitate, this building will be over!" ”
A general next to him shouted and asked, "Send troops for reinforcements?" How many people should I send? What if this is a trap set by the Wei army? I'm afraid that the reinforcements will also be finished! ”
Pi Li was a little hesitant, the night was the best cover for the Wei army, and he didn't know how many people the Wei army had come, and it was indeed possible to send reinforcements to the Wei army's knife if he rashly sent troops to the rescue.
After hesitating for a moment, Pi Lixian and the others found that the sound of horses' hooves was getting farther and farther away, and the sound of shouting and screaming was getting farther and farther until they disappeared.
The generals looked at each other one by one, what is going on? Could it be that the Wei army was not many in number and ran away? Do you want to send someone to chase after you?
"Kuhehan, send another team of men and horses over to have a look!" Pili gave the order first.
Hu Hehan agreed, and quickly sent a team of people.
The men and horses sent out this time soon returned and reported, "Qi Yu Lifa, the Wei army has run away, the people we sent out before have been killed, the rest of the people should be chasing the Wei army, and the number of the Wei army should not be much!" ”
The generals were relieved, as long as the Wei army was not large in number, they were not afraid.
But Pi Lixian didn't think so, he was even more worried, until now, he didn't know what the purpose of the Wei army was, if it was a night attack, why only send such a few people? Are you trying to lure my brigade out and attack my camp?
Visibility was too low in the night, and tonight the sky had no moon or starlight, and it seemed to be gloomy and humid.
With a "snort", the flint and steel emitted a cremation, and the torch was lit with a "bang".
Then the torches were lit, and under the light of the torches, there were a large number of corpses of the Rouran people lying on the grass, but their horses did not run far because it was too dark, and scattered nearby to graze.
Bai Jinguang looked at it, "Go search it and see if there is any living mouth, our reality can't be known to Pi Li first!" ”
"Yes!"
After some inspection and searching, some of the Rouran soldiers who were not yet dead were reinforced.
"Commander, it's all settled!"
Bai Jinguang nodded, and instructed a personal soldier beside him: "Go and tell the third centurion that our two hundred-man team will approach the camp of the Rouran people again in a while, if the attention of the Rouran people is attracted by our side, let him seize the opportunity to attack the cattle and sheep of the Rouran people, and leave after a while, you can't fall in love, it won't be good to be caught up by the Rouran people!" ”
"Yes, Commander!"
Bai Jinguang ordered the first and second centurions again: "Collect all the horses scattered around, and let's go to the Rouran camp again!" ”
"Yes!"
A moment later, all the scattered horses were gathered up, originally each person had three horses, the two hundred-man team was more than six hundred, plus one hundred horses and two hundred horses for the Rouran people, they now had eight hundred horses, Bai Jinguang and the others took these horses and quietly touched the camp of the Rouran people again.
"By the way, did I let you arrange the dark sentry?" Bai Jinguang asked the centurion.
"Commander Qian, rest assured, three secret posts have been arranged, even if one of them has a problem, there can't be a problem with all three, as long as the Rouran people set up an ambush outside the camp, the dark post will definitely warn us when we are about to arrive!"
Bai Jinguang was relieved after hearing this, this battle was extremely difficult, and it was more tiring than a head-to-head confrontation, mainly because they had never used this wolf tactic, this was the first time they had used it, and they had never heard of it before.
"Okay, let's go!"
The Rouran people didn't expect the Wei army to come again, and they didn't ambush outside the camp, Bai Jinguang took the two hundred-man team to the edge of the Rouran camp again.
This time, the Rouran people found out in advance again, because although they did not arrange an ambush, they arranged a secret post on the periphery again.
After a few rounds of arrows, the Rouran people in the camp reacted again and quickly assembled.
Bai Jinguang led the team to stop at a distance of a mile from the camp, and observed, he didn't let the Rouran people wait this time, and ordered the two centurions: "Take your respective men and horses and run, just come and go on this line, and the bigger the noise, the better!" Let the drums sound and the trumpets sound! ”
"Yes, Commander!"
The order was given, and first the horn sounded: "Woo-woo-woo-"
In the sound of the horn, two hundred-man cavalry teams with spare horses ran in the opposite direction, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves spread around the night, and the Rouran people who didn't know the inside story thought that the Wei cavalry had attacked, and they began to get nervous, and they held weapons and archers one by one.
Then the drums sounded, "Knock knock knock······"
At first, the rhythm of the drums was slow, but as time went on, the drums became more and more compact, and people couldn't help but want to beat their horses and rush forward.
In the camp of the Rouran, a soldier lay on the ground and listened to the sound for a while, and then got up.
Pi Li first asked, "How?" How many of them are there? ”
The soldier who had just gotten up from the ground replied, "Listen to the sound of horses' hooves, there are less than a thousand people, about eight hundred to nine hundred horsemen!" ”
Being able to hear it so accurately, this Rouran soldier's skill of listening to probing is really quite good.
"Hey, less than a thousand cavalry want to attack my camp? These Xianbei people have too much appetite, right? Where is Uri? Pi Lixian shouted loudly.
A general hit his horse and pressed his right hand to his chest: "Here!" ”
"In addition to your own men, the third and fifth armies will be under your command, and you will lead the team to kill all the Wei troops with less than a thousand horsemen, and bring back their heads!"
"Yes!" Ugi agreed, and as soon as he pulled the reins, he turned around and ran to the side, and in a few moments he saw the three thousand Rouran cavalry rushing out of the camp under his command.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from the rear, and a group of more than 100 Wei cavalry rushed into the camp of the Rouran people with torches, and the main force of the Rouran people in the camp was placed in front, and no one paid attention to the rear at all, and was rushed into the camp by this group of Wei cavalry without any obstacles.
