Qin Cheng and Li Guang were talking at the front of the team, their voices were several times louder than usual, and the sergeants in the back could hear it, as for how much effect it could have, it didn't matter, no matter how word of mouth was better than nothing, in the end, this was just Qin Cheng's temporary idea.

After the three of them finished speaking, they laughed together for a while. After laughing, Li Guang and Qin Cheng looked at each other and smiled.

This smile is unfathomable. Its meaning is not just a call between the three of them, but a tacit understanding of the upcoming battle.

This group was all cavalry, and everyone traveled quickly, and they arrived at Lao Mayuan after a few hours of marching.

To the north of Laomayuan, the terrain is relatively flat, and a road in the middle leads directly to the Great Wall, almost all of which are relatively flat and low hilly grasslands. This time, the five Xiongnu cavalry went south, two of which were not far north of the old horse plain.

At this moment, a horse galloped over from the north of Lao Ma Yuan, which seemed to be a sentry in the fort, and the sentry saw the army standing on Lao Ma Yuan from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Dare to ask General Li if he is here?" ”

Li Hu stepped forward and shouted, "General Li is here!" Who is you? ”

When the sentry heard Li Hu's reply, he shouted a few "report" and came to everyone.

The sentry turned over and dismounted and reported to Li Guangyu: "Report to General Li, Xiaohua City has been attacked by the Hun cavalry, and his subordinates have been ordered to report, please come to the rescue of the general!" ”

Xiaohua City, a small town a hundred miles north of Lao Ma Yuan, garrison a tun, the place is not big, there is a fort for the army and the people to avoid the attack of the Hun cavalry. When the Hun cavalry attacked, the soldiers and civilians retreated to the fort, and after the Hun cavalry left, the soldiers and civilians came out to continue their lives. This is also the method of Shanggu to prevent the attack of the Xiongnu and learn from Li Mu of the Warring States in order to reduce the loss of personnel and property, but in this way, although it can reduce casualties and part of the property loss, but fixed facilities such as houses and crops will inevitably suffer.

Hearing the report of this sentry horseman, Qin Cheng and the others' first reaction was that these Hun cavalry were so fast, Li Guang looked at Qin Cheng and said: "Qin Lang, we have already made an appointment before, this time we will go on an expedition, the battle will be commanded by you, if necessary, I will discuss with you again." In this situation, how do you say we should arrange it? ”

It can be said that in order to train Qincheng to be truly able to take charge of itself, so that the Han Dynasty has one more tiger general to fight against the Huns, Li Guang is very willing to let go of power, and he has also put a lot of thought into it.

Although Qin Cheng was a hussar captain and commanded the cavalry of the military camp, in principle, he still had to listen to Li Guang's arrangements when he went out in battle. In the final analysis, Li Guang is the chief general of the three armies of Shanggu County.

"Wait a minute, general, let me ask a little more questions." Qin Cheng clenched his fists and asked the sentry, "Let me ask you, how many Hun cavalry are there besieging Xiaohua City, when did they arrive in Xiaohua, can you know the leader, and before you come, have you received a warning that other nearby forts are being attacked?" ”

"The number of this Hun cavalry is about four hundred, they just arrived in Xiaohua City, and their subordinates were ordered to come out to report the news, at this time half an hour has passed, the leader has not seen before, and does not know each other. Before his subordinates came here, he received a warning message from Yang Zigou that it was also attacked by the Hun cavalry, but before the sentinel we sent back, we were also attacked by the Hun cavalry, so I don't know the specific situation of Yang Zigou. The sentry was articulate, and at once he made it clear what had happened.

Yangzigou, also a small town, is located in the west of Xiaohua Fort, nearly two hundred miles away from Xiaohua Fort.

Qin Cheng listened to the words of this sentry, but did not hesitate, and said to Li Guang: "According to the intention of his subordinates, the whole army should not be separated, and it is not too late for us to go to Yangzigou after we have exterminated the Xiongnu in Xiaohuabao. In this regard, the distance to Xiaohua City should be closely monitored, and a light cavalry should be left as a reserve force in case the army retreats. ”

"The whole army can concentrate on dealing with emergencies, Qin Lang thought very thoughtfully, just according to what Qin Lang said." Li Guang nodded.

Qin Cheng's layout seems to be too cautious, but in the face of the unknown forces that may exist behind the five Hun cavalry, Qin Cheng can't be careless. Because Qincheng can't afford to lose at the moment, Xincheng's heavy and light cavalry can't withstand the blow.

"Order, the light cavalry left a vigilance, the main force pulled out, and rushed to Xiaohua City at full speed!" Qin Cheng solemnly ordered.

As the flag waved, the horn sounded, and the herald began to run to give the order.

"After the light cavalry, Qu left a vigilance, the main force pulled out, and rushed to Xiaohua City at full speed!"

"After the light cavalry, Qu left a vigilance, the main force pulled out, and rushed to Xiaohua City at full speed!"

"After the light cavalry, Qu left a vigilance, the main force pulled out, and rushed to Xiaohua City at full speed!"

"Let's go, go meet these Hun children, and let me wait to see how the new horsemen in our military camp are!" Li Guanghao said angrily, taking the lead and jumping out.

"We'll see!" Qin Cheng laughed twice, and he was also arrogant.

In any case, the new horse he built single-handedly, although the combat power has not been completed, is about to go to the battlefield after all, so how can he not have waves in his heart?

After all, it was 3,000 Han cavalry, against 400 Huns.

The whole army rushed out at full speed from Lao Ma Yuan, and in less than half a moment, they saw a thick smoke rising from the northern sky.

Seeing this thick smoke, everyone's hearts tightened.

"That's the direction of Xiaohua City, all the soldiers followed the generals to kill and cut down these dog-mother-raised Huns!" Li Guang shouted in front of him, causing the shouts of all the sergeants behind him to resound.

The flames are blazing!

Approaching Xiaohua City, Qin Cheng and the others rushed to the front, so they could see clearly that the houses in Xiaohua City had burned into a piece, and even the crops in the field for harvesting were surrounded by fire.

Half the sky is reflected red!

This time the Huns can be said to be extremely vicious, although the Huns often went south to invade before, but they rarely burned houses, let alone crops. After all, the Huns also knew that they could not fish with all their might, let alone kill them all, if they still wanted something to plunder in the coming year.

But this time it's different.

"Straight sissy thief!" Li Guang hated it so much that he couldn't help but scold.

The whole army galloped on the slightly undulating grassland, seeing that it was close to Xiaohua City, and at another low point, Qin Cheng decisively ordered.

"Ranger, disperse!"

"Light cavalry forward curve, left side detour, light horse right curve, right side roundabout, shoot it with a bow and arrow, prevent it from scattering, avoid short combat!"

The light cavalry trained for three or four months, and it was okay to use bows and arrows, but if they were hand-to-hand, it would be an act of looking for death.

"Light cavalry left bend, run in the direction of Yangzigou for thirty miles, if there is an attacking enemy, but shoot it with a bow and arrow, and withdraw after shooting, remember not to meet in short arms!"

"Ride hard, full speed ahead!"

As Qin Cheng issued one order after another, a promise sounded decisively.

The order was forbidden, and no one objected.

The speed of the heavy ride itself is slower, and the detour of the light ride can be completed when the heavy ride is approaching.

The small city is not big or small, a sea of fire, and the houses are burned, seven out of ten. There were a lot of Hun cavalry gathered around Xiaohua City, apparently wanting to wait for the soldiers and civilians in the fort to withstand the temperature of the fire and run out on their own, so that they could kill them all!

These Huns, who braved the rain of arrows shot from the fort before, with small shields, piled up a lot of firewood outside the fort where the soldiers and civilians were accommodated, and they had already lit it at this time, they wanted to roast and smoke out the soldiers and civilians hiding in the fort!

All evil aliens!

Qin Cheng and Li Guang ran to the front, and after entering the charging distance, Qin Cheng's long knife suddenly came out of its sheath, pointing directly at the Hun cavalry in front of them, who had already reacted, and shouted:

"Those who offend my Chinese divine power will be killed!"

"Kill!"

……

The head of Xiaohua City is named Shanjia, who was born into a poor family and has not eaten a few full meals before the age of thirteen. When he was twelve years old, he, who had been a farmer for generations, got a hunting bow out of nowhere and broke into the deep mountains and forests single-handedly. I stayed in it for a day and a night, and almost didn't die inside, and when I came out, there was a deep blood mark on my face, and there was a little hare in my hand. Since then, he has only one mother alive, and he runs into the mountains almost every day, entering the mountains and forests during the day, coming out empty-handed at night, or dragging some small game out, and then helping the old mother to do some accumulated farm work by moonlight at night. When he was thirteen years old, he stayed in the mountain for three days at a time, and if ordinary people did not come out of the mountain for three days, they must have died inside, and when this guy came out on the fourth day, he was stunned to come out with a wild wolf that was not big or small, covered in blood, and shocked the whole village. Since then, the scarf has never been hungry. Life at home is also getting better day by day. But the good times did not last long, and after three or four years, the Huns injured his old mother when they robbed the village, and almost died. After his mother's body was well, this mountain armor went to the border in advance, and he didn't have any authentic kung fu foundation on weekdays, relying on his ruthlessness and the wisdom of a hunter, he sat in the position of the head of the tun in three years.

Today, the scarf is twenty years old.

He didn't remember his life, but his old mother remembered that although the family was poor when he was a child, his old mother didn't forget to get him an egg to eat when he was alive. On the day Shanjia went to join the army, his old mother told him, Shanjia, no matter how far a person goes out, how small he is, what kind of life he lives, he can't forget his roots and his life.

Later, when the mountain armor grew up, he finally figured out that remembering his life is not only remembering himself, but also remembering the days when his old mother suffered. Ever since he joined the army, he used to stuff an egg into his stomach every day, whether raw or cooked.

Today, as soon as I went to buy eggs, I received a warning from Yang Zigou, out of caution, Shanjia began to beckon the soldiers and civilians of the town to hide in the fort, fortunately, it was timely, when the Huns came, the soldiers and civilians had basically hidden in the fort.

Exceptions, of course. When the mountain armor rushed out of the gate of the fort to grab the dirty and crying child on the open field, several Hun cavalry who rushed quickly and the long knives had already reached him. In the end, at the cost of a big cut in his arm, Shanjia successfully harvested three lives, and carried the little boy who was suddenly scared to cry in the crook of his arm into the castle.

But when the Hun cavalry would rather brave the rain of arrows and pay the price of one or twenty casualties to pile dry firewood on the outside of their fort with a small shield, the mountain armor hated red eyes to pop out, but in the fort except for the archers, there is nothing else that can kill and injure the Huns, the Huns have never done such a lack of virtue in the past, and the mountain armor has no good strategy in a hurry. After all, there were dozens of Huns waiting outside the fort gate with bows and arrows.

In the end, the angry Shanjia took up a big shield, pointed at one or twenty strong sergeants, and said: "Hengzhi is a death, go out with me and cut down these Hun thieves!" ”

"No!" The sergeant, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately followed the mountain armor, and the two of them rushed out of the fort gate with a shield.

The mountain armor rushed to the front, dozens of bows and arrows shot at once on a large gate board he carried out, even so, he only took a step back to stabilize his figure, and threw the door panel forward, the door panel seemed to be subjected to a thousand catties of force, and smashed heavily to the Hun soldiers in front of the door, and two or three people were smashed and spurted blood!

Threw the door panel, but also smashed open a group of Hun soldiers, taking advantage of this gap, the mountain armor took a step forward with a heavy shield, and the halberd in his hand stabbed out, and there was another scream!

Four or six sturdy sergeants followed the carapace, not far from the door, and there they hid behind heavy shields, halberds more poisonous than stingers. Everyone resisted bows and arrows with heavy shields, and rejected cavalry with halberds, the range was small, and it was unexpected, and several Hun cavalry were killed and injured in half a while!

After the mountain armor rushed out, more than a dozen sergeants rushed out with heavy shields, and these people split to both sides behind the mountain armor, and they slashed at the Hun soldiers who came from the side and wanted to attack the mountain armor and others and pile dry firewood under the fort!

In more than twenty breaths, the Huns were cut down by more than twenty. Shanjia was in the middle, and the attack was also the fiercest, but with a halberd and a sword, and a heavy shield, he did not suffer any injuries, and he simply cut down five or six Hun cavalry to the ground!

And after more than 20 breaths, the Hun cavalry outside the fort finally rearranged their formation after a short period of confusion.

When the shanjia saw that it was good, he took it and shouted "retreat", and everyone took cover to retreat to the fort again. When the broken mountain armor tried to step into the gate of the fort, a sergeant in the back was shot in the thigh by a Hun and fell to his knees.

Seeing that there were already three or four Hun soldiers around, Shanjia suddenly picked up the heavy shield in his hand, shouted and turned a circle, forced everyone away, and then lifted the sergeant and threw it into the fort like a chicken!

A few Hun soldiers who had just taken a step back approached again, and the four long knives slashed at the mountain armor at the same time!

Shanjia blocked two long knives with a heavy shield in one hand, blocked the other two with a long knife in one hand, and the long knife was horizontal, slashing through the chests of the two Hun soldiers, bringing out a piece of flesh and blood, and without waiting for the Hun soldiers behind to follow, the long knife cut through the necks of the two Hun soldiers on the side of the heavy shield. Just as he was about to enter the door sideways, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind, and the mountain armor didn't have time to think about it, and pushed his hands behind the heavy shield and pushed the heavy shield out!

Then he only felt a shock to his arm, as if it was about to break, and then the mountain armor also saw clearly that it was a cavalryman riding a horse who wanted to overturn him just now, and his heavy shield just hit the horse, directly knocking the horse over!

The mountain armor that stepped through the door, threw the long knife, and plunged into the chest of the cavalry!

When I closed the door, I heard the Huns outside anxiously shouting something "Big Centurion".

In the first battle, one of them died and seven were injured, but they overturned more than 20 Huns, which was not a small victory, but at this time, Shanjia and others were not happy.

For they have gone out once, it is impossible for them to go out a second time.

In other words, they will wait for death in addition to waiting for reinforcements.

After being silent for a while, a sergeant who had just gone out with him slapped his chest and said loudly: "Lao Tzu has overturned one, it's worth it!" ”

"Lao Tzu knocked over two, and earned one!" The other big man said loudly.

Shanjia looked around at the sergeants and the people, and said firmly: "Don't be discouraged, everyone, General Li and General Qin have already sent troops to rescue us, and they will arrive here in a short time, and then we will kill them together and slaughter these straight thieves!" ”

"Really?"

"Is what the tun chief said true?"

The crowd was both happy and suspicious.

"Seriously!" Shanjia said, "When did I lie to you? ”

"Good!" The crowd cheered.

Shanjia looked at everyone, bitter in his heart for no reason, and he didn't know if General Li and General Qin had sent troops.

Reaching out and touching his waist, he only touched a piece of wetness, the egg, which had been broken in the battle.

After a while, the dry wood outside was burning.

Although the fort was thick, it could not withstand the baking of so much dry firewood, and after more than half an hour, the temperature in the fort became higher and higher, and in the end, everyone was already sweating and hot, and many men dragged their clothes, revealing their hot red skin.

At this time, people kept asking when the rescue of the mountain armor would arrive, and the mountain armor could only ask everyone to insist, saying that the rescue was coming soon.

And the mountain armor standing at the window was anxious for a while, and it has slowly calmed down.

This time, there is no help.

When he saw that the houses in the town had been burned, and even the crops outside were not spared, Shanjia looked in the direction of his home, and only thought about whether his old mother was doing well.

At the moment when the mountain armor was on the verge of despair, in addition to the crackling burning sound and the cheers of the Huns, the rumbling of horses' hooves gradually sounded.

That's right, it's the sound of horses' hooves!

Shanjia's heart was shocked, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Then, he saw a group of cavalry running outside the town, in the distance! Rush to the front
