Chapter 21: Hanging Sheep Drumming
"Oh, why?" Li Guang asked.
Qin Cheng looked at Li Guang, Li Guang's face was solemn in the night, and there was no special expression, which made Qin Cheng unable to guess what Li Guang was thinking for a while, so he said slowly: "The post road is not more than a foot wide, and the parallel of three horses is already the limit, even if our army has thousands of troops, there is no room to play." The Huns knew this well, so they wouldn't have to worry about our night raids. ”
"Birds!" Li Dang said angrily, "The mountains on both sides outside the eagle's mouth are gentle and the trees are dense, if our army has a large number of archers, it can completely go out of the eagle's mouth, arrange it on the slopes on both sides, and shoot it with bows and arrows, the Huns only have cavalry, and they can't rush up the hillside, so they will definitely make the Huns defeated and retreat!" ”
When Li Dang spoke this time, Li Guang did not stop him, and probably agreed with Li Kang's statement. Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Qin Cheng smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Then what?" ”
"What, then?" Li dared to say.
"Repelled the Hun cavalry, what about the major general?"
"Then, if our army really has reinforcements, it will naturally lead the army to cover up and kill them all!" Li Dang squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Cheng like an idiot.
It was Li Guang, whose face was a little more solemn at this time.
"If the Hun cavalry blocked the Hulu Belly Pass, what about the army led by the major general?" Qin Cheng replied to Li Dang's idiot look, not caring about the difference in the identities of the two.
"This ......" Li Dang was shocked in his heart, stunned for a while, and couldn't speak anymore, Li Dang was not stupid, he could naturally figure out the doorway after listening to Qin Cheng's words, but he didn't think of this before, and this was a fatal point, for a while Li Dang didn't know what to say, and he was unwilling to be exhausted, so he blushed.
"Therefore, the Huns will never worry that we will take the initiative to attack them, on the contrary, they can't even ask for it, you must know that if this is the case, the Huns only need a part of the cavalry to block the gourd belly pass, and the main force will take advantage of tonight to return to the rear of our army, and once they turn around to block the eagle's mouth, even if our army has thousands of troops and horses, they can only be the turtle in the urn and be trapped alive." Qin Cheng was unforgiving, so he simply said everything he thought in his heart, rather than brushing Li Guang's face later, it was better to let Li Dare to suffer this uncomfortable.
After hearing Qin Cheng say this, Li Guang's heart had already turned over the river and the sea. It's not that he didn't think that the Han army had thousands of troops and horses and couldn't help the Huns, but he didn't take into account the deeper level, Li Guang originally still had the idea of sticking to the eagle's mouth and waiting for reinforcements, after all, his side was attacked by the Hun army on both sides in the gourd belly, which means that the deputy general Li Xi did not meet the Huns, with the tacit understanding between Li Guang and Li Xi, he believed that as long as he waited for another day, and at the same time avoided the Huns from behind, maybe he could follow Li Xi from behind the Huns to attack the Huns in front of him on both sides, When the time comes, it will not be impossible to win. But as soon as Qin Cheng said this, Li Guang's thoughts were all in vain!
However, were the Huns so smart? Will they think of such a deep level?
Li Guang still disagreed.
If Li Guang knew that they were not facing the Xiongnu army that Li Xi was supposed to deal with, but King Zuoxian, he really didn't know what to think.
Li Guang thought of this, and didn't speak for a long time, Qin Cheng naturally didn't want to say anything more immediately, and the scene seemed a little dull for a while.
"General, the Huns are coming!" Li Guangzheng was secretly thinking to himself, and the white-faced little soldier suddenly pointed to the post road ahead.
Turning his head, a Hun cavalryman was holding a torch and running towards the eagle's mouth, holding the horse's head at a stone's throw from the eagle's mouth. Even if there was firelight, Qin Cheng and the others still couldn't see the faces of the people who came in the dark night, but the high-pitched voice of the other party came: "Listen to the Han army boys on the other side, the Great Hun Zuoxian King has an order: Surrender quickly, and you can still wait for you not to die!" Otherwise, tomorrow at dawn, my Hun cavalry will be in the front, and there will be no place to die and be buried! ”
After speaking, the Hun cavalry who passed the word laughed at the eagle's mouth for a while, made an arrogant posture, and then put down a cruel sentence: "Tomorrow, I will wait to take the head of the flying general!" After that, he walked away.
King Zuoxian?
Hearing the words of this Hun cavalryman, Li Guang's face suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Bastard, this Hun is too arrogant! Father, Hengzhi is a death, let's fight with them! Li Dang angrily pulled out his long knife.
"General, let's fight with them!"
"Fight! Checkmate! ”
"Fight with the Huns and avenge the dead brothers!"
"Fight!"
The shouts and the sound of drawing the sword resounded throughout the eagle's mouth at once, this group of Han soldiers had just suffered a defeat during the day, and it was a battle that could have been won, but was defeated after being plotted by the Huns, everyone had a fire in their stomachs, and they were humiliated by the Hun cavalry at this time, where could they swallow this breath? At the moment, they all asked for help, and if they couldn't control it, they all rushed out of the eagle's mouth to fight with those Hun cavalry!
The Han army's hatred of the Huns has long been deep in the bones.
"Hahahaha......" Li Guang did not immediately dissuade these soldiers, but laughed for a while, laughed, pulled out a long knife and plunged it into the ground, and said to a cadre of Han army soldiers: "The Huns want my Li Guang's head, it's not a day or two, but there will be no time to let them get their wish!" As long as there is one Xiongnu who dares to step into the territory of my Han, Ben Jiang will not intend to die! The Huns have not been destroyed, as a soldier, who dares to speak lightly about life and death? I, Li Guang's subordinates, have never been sent to death in vain! But whoever dies in battle will not shed blood. ”
After a pause, Li Guang continued: "Today, the Xiongnu army is in front, and the general will have his own district, take Er and others to kill the Xiongnu, raise the prestige of my Han army, and avenge my Tongze!" But if you are brave enough to be a revenant under the Hun knife in vain, you have to say it again! ”
After that, Li Guang's long knife was returned to the sheath, and he didn't say anything more.
"No!" All the soldiers were shocked and promised in unison.
For generals, it is easy to advance, but it is difficult to retreat. Qin Cheng secretly congratulated himself that he was fortunate to have crossed over as a soldier under Li Guang, if he didn't wear it well and followed the wrong person, he would have been planted in his life.
"Hateful! I never thought that this time we were facing King Zuo Xian, didn't we say that he was still in the north, why did he suddenly come to us? Li Dang was so angry that he struck the knot, "Doesn't this mean that Uncle Li is also at war with the Huns now?" In this way, there is no hope for us to wait for reinforcements! ”
Li Dare scolded himself on the side, but Li Guang stared thoughtfully at the fire in front of the eagle's mouth. The development of things has exceeded his expectations, since Qin Cheng beheaded the Xiongnu Left Bone Marquis and the Xiongnu did not retreat, he knew that there were higher-level generals in the Xiongnu army, but he didn't expect that it was really King Zuoxian. It seems that he still underestimated the foot strength of the Hun cavalry.
Seeing that Li Guang was silent, Qin Cheng was secretly anxious, and he couldn't care about his identity at the moment, so he stepped forward and said, "General, if you don't withdraw at this time, I'm afraid it will be too late if it's too late." ”
Li Guang glanced at Qin Cheng, but did not speak. Li Guanghe didn't want to evacuate this place, the problem was to evacuate like this, even if there was cover at night, it was difficult to ensure that it would not be discovered by the Huns, once this was the case, the Hun cavalry pursued from behind, and so many foot soldiers of the Han army became a live target. How could Li Guang give such a military order?
Li Guang didn't say anything, Qin Cheng naturally knew the reason in his heart, so he continued: "I have a way to make the whole army evacuate safely without the Huns noticing. ”
"Do you have a way?" Li Guang looked at Qin Cheng unexpectedly, quite incredulous, Qin Cheng was an ordinary soldier, his performance today had surprised Li Guang, and now Qin Cheng actually said that he could solve the problem that he couldn't solve, which was beyond his acceptance, but thinking of Qin Cheng's previous analysis of the situation between the enemy and me, Li Guang's eyes suddenly changed, "Come quickly!" ”
Qin Cheng looked around at the eagle's mouth and said slowly: "Doesn't the general smell 'hanging sheep beating drums, hungry horses neighing grass'?" ”
Li Guang was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy, and he didn't have time to speak, but Li Dang was the first to exclaim: "Do you mean that before Duke Huan of Qi returned to Linzi from Ju State to succeed to the throne, he was trapped on Cen Mountain by Gongzi who was also preparing to return to China to succeed to the throne, and later Gongzi Xiaobai adopted Bao Shuya's plan of 'hanging sheep beating drums, hungry horses neighing grass', and was able to get out smoothly?" ”
"The Major General is wise." Qin Cheng hugged his fist.
"Brilliant plan, what a clever plan! Haha......" Li Dang was another blow, dancing excitedly, and the dissatisfaction in his heart just now with Qin Cheng's ignorance of identity and despicable discussion of military aircraft also dissipated, "Father, the child thinks this is a good plan, I don't know what my father wants?" ”
"That's a brilliant idea." Li Guang sighed, stroked his beard, and then summoned the herald and arranged: "Order the whole army, assemble and stand by!" ”
"No!"
"Qin Lang is really knowledgeable, I can't imagine that you, an ordinary soldier, can think of this layer, it's not simple!" Li Guang did not hesitate to praise Qin Cheng.
"It's just a fluke for his subordinates, if the general doesn't think about the whole army and thinks too much, I'm afraid that he has already thought of this, where is there any need for his subordinates to talk too much." Qin Cheng said modestly.
When it should be high-profile, it should be high-key, and when it should be low-key, it must be low-key, and Qin Cheng, who came from later generations, has an extremely profound understanding of this truth. Now it's time to perform, the rest depends on how Li Guang judges himself, as for himself, it is important to be as humble as possible, it is not good to be too sharp. Besides, I'm just a long man now.
"You don't have to be too humble, today you have counted strange words, all of which show that you are very knowledgeable, and you are very brave in the previous battle, and you even killed the left bone of the Huns with your own hands, such a good talent, born under my Li Guang's account, I am very relieved!" Li Guang said, "Heaven and not take it, but suffer from it, how can I, Li Guang, not use you?!" Ha ha! ”
After saying that, Li Guang laughed happily.
"The general is wrong to love, and his subordinates can't afford to be favored." Qin Cheng continues to be modest, who made the ancients feel good, and he is also integrated into the times, there is no way.
"Grace? You are wrong, Qin Lang! Li Guang's tone suddenly became stern, his eyes were like electricity, he looked directly into Qin Cheng's eyes, and said solemnly: "I will use you, not my Li Guang to give you grace, but my Han to give you grace!" If you can take charge of yourself and become a general one day, you will do your best to protect the territory and the people, kill the Huns, and return peace and tranquility to my Han Dynasty! It's the duty of a soldier, you know? ”
"My subordinates understand!" Qin Cheng is on the right path.
"Good! In this way, why worry about the inextinction of the Huns and the uneasiness of the border counties? Li Guangdao pulled Li Kang over, "From now on, you have to interact with Qin Lang a lot and learn from each other's strengths, do you know?" ”
"The child understands." Li Dare replied, lowering his head and glancing at Qin Cheng, his expression very unhappy.
