Chapter 20 The Commander Determines the Strategy
"The left bone is dead......"
"The left bone is dead."
"Report! Zuo Xianwang, Zuo ...... The left bone was killed. ”
Those Hun cavalry exclaimed as they retreated.
After the Hun cavalry in front of him began to break back, Qin Cheng suddenly turned around, and the two straddled in front of Wu Daliang, carefully but without losing speed to help him up.
"What's long, that's amazing." Wu Daliang looked at Qin Chengdao weakly, wanting to laugh, but he didn't want to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Don't talk." Qin Cheng wiped the blood stains from Wu Daliang's mouth with one hand, but the action of picking up Wu Daliang did not stop.
Wu Daliang was already covered in blood, the iron armor was full of knife marks, and the buckle also fell off, and the whole set of Xuanjia hung crookedly on him. Qin Cheng frowned, and first helped Wu Daliang to the horse, and then turned over and got on the horse.
At this time, there was a loud shout from the hundreds of Hun cavalry who had originally broken back, and then a miserable scream sounded.
"Stand still for me, those who retreat will be killed!" King Zuo Xian slapped his horse out, slashed the cavalry that had returned to the front and fell off the horse with a knife, the long knife pointed directly at the cavalry in front of him, and a pair of majestic eyes stared fiercely at these soldiers in front of him, Tie Qing's face showed his anger.
"Why are you retreating?!"
"The left bone is killed in battle, are you going to flee in battle?!"
"When did the warriors of the Great Huns become deserters on the battlefield?!"
"What kind of face do you have to face the left bone Marquis who died in battle, and what face do you have to face your wife and son on the grassland?!"
"What kind of face do you have to face the Kunlun God?!"
The angry King Zuo Xian roared loudly, spitting stars splashing, one sentence louder than another, and one sentence more annoyed than another!
He felt extremely unreasonable, how could the warriors of the Great Huns have escaped in such a rout? Even in the face of the flying general Li Guang, this has never been the case.
King Zuo Xian, who had just been blinded by hundreds of cavalry, of course he didn't see the scene of Qin Cheng beheading the Marquis of Zuo Gu, and he couldn't understand the behavior of these cavalrymen in front of him and their psychology just now.
After being scolded by King Zuo Xian for a while, and after a period of neighing of horses, these Hun cavalrymen who had just been intimidated by Qin Cheng barely stabilized their positions, and they all looked at their Zuo Xian King in horror.
"How can the warriors of the great Huns, the people of the Kunlun God, flee from the battle?" The cavalry in front of the meeting stabilized their position, and King Zuo Xian's sanity recovered a little, "Under the protection of the Kunlun God, we will definitely be invincible!" ”
"Kunlun God!" King Zuo Xian raised his arms and shouted.
"Kunlun God!"
"Kunlun God!"
"Kunlun God!"
The Huns who were still in fear just now routed, unconsciously shouting the name of "Kunlun God", gradually, they slowly calmed down, there was no fear in their eyes, instead of a scorching heat that gradually condensed, and the tone of shouting "Kunlun God" gradually became larger, and soon almost returned to the fearless spiritual outlook of the past.
"Now, I command." In the middle of the ring, King Zuo Xian looked around at the surrounding Hun cavalry and said sharply, "The whole army is assembled and a cremation ceremony is held for the Marquis of Zuo Gudu." I want to bring his ashes back to the grassland and let his soul return to the arms of the Kunlun God! ”
"I hope that the Kunlun God will see not only the soul of the Left Bone Duhou, but also the glory of your victory!"
……
Qincheng Pegasus rushed back to the eagle's mouth, and the distance of twenty or thirty zhang was only a few breaths. After getting off the horse, Dong Chu and others, who had been waiting on the side, helped Wu Daliang get down, and then handed him over to the military doctor who was already on standby.
Although Wu Daliang was seriously injured, fortunately, he was not worried about his life, and Qin Cheng was slightly relieved. Qin Cheng, who was bent on Wu Daliang, didn't notice that the soldiers around him were looking at him with admiration.
"Well done!" Li Guang patted Qin Cheng's shoulder heavily, and the appreciation in his eyes was not concealed at all. Even Li Kang, who was beside him, was in admiration at this time.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Qin Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kill the Marquis of the left bone, and raise the military prestige of our Han army, this battle leader is none other than you." This battle was forced to this step by the Huns, Li Guang can be said to be aggrieved and abnormal, and now Qincheng has killed the left bone of the Huns, Li Guang is also very relieved.
"It's just that the Huns won't retreat, does the general have a plan?" Qin Cheng didn't talk about military merits, he only asked about the military situation, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to his first merit. However, he cares more about whether he has the life to receive this military merit than military merit.
Asked by Qin Cheng, Li Guang walked up the mountain stone and motioned for Qin Cheng to follow, and was not unhappy because Qin Cheng asked an unsuitable question. In his heart, maybe he was depressed at the moment because he didn't have a good plan.
The Xiongnu on the opposite side did not immediately organize a retaliation, and looking down from the mountain pass rocks, it can be seen that the post road is crowded with cavalry, but there is a large open space in the middle.
Qin Cheng squatted beside Li Guang, quietly observing everything in front of him. In his heart, he couldn't help but think about the reason why Li Guang didn't perfunctory himself just now, but directly took himself with him.
Could it be that Li Guang has already taken a fancy to himself and wants to cultivate?
"General, what are the Huns doing?" A military captain asked.
"Just look at it." Li Guangdao.
After a while, the Hun cavalry began to cut down the trees, remove the branches, and divide the branches into sections, each of which was nearly a foot long. After doing this, the Huns began to build high platforms with these branches. When night fell, a high platform half a foot high was built.
"Father, do these Huns want to sacrifice here?" Li Dare saw that the Huns had built a high platform, and couldn't help but ask.
"Ignorant child, Hugh is talking nonsense." Li Guang shouted, staring at the direction of the Huns, his face cloudy.
Li Dare was scolded, not embarrassed at all, as if he was used to such a lesson.
"General, I'm afraid the situation is not good!" Qin Cheng said suddenly.
"Wonderful or not, how do you know if you are a little long? Hugh is talking nonsense here! Without waiting for Li Guang to answer, Li dared to take the lead, looking extremely unhappy.
After all, Qin Cheng was just a chief, and in the middle of a group of captains, of course, it was not his turn to speak.
"Shut up!" Li Guang glared at Li Dang, Li Dang shrunk his neck unwillingly, and Li Guang looked at Qin Cheng at this time, "But it's okay, what's not a good way?" ”
"Look, General." Qin Cheng pointed to the edge of the clearing in the middle of the Huns, where there was a stretcher-like stand, and on top of the stretcher, it seemed that someone was lying.
Looking at Qin Cheng's fingers, Li Guang's brows tightened a little.
Sure enough, after a short time, the Huns carried the stretcher to the high platform.
Then, a leader-like Hun approached the high platform with a torch, his hands outstretched, and he didn't know what he was saying to the night sky, and he could vaguely hear the pronunciation of the left bone Duhou and the god Kunlun. After a phone call, all the Huns bowed to the high platform, their right fists against their chests. At this moment, the leader-like man lit the high platform with the torch in his hand.
"Kunlun God, Kunlun God, Kunlun God ......"
This time, all the officers and soldiers of the Han army, including Qin Cheng, heard the shouts of the Huns in unison.
Li Guang's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"The Huns are cremating their left bones?!" Li Dang exclaimed. After being with the army for such a long time, he also knew what it meant for the Huns to cremate the left bone at this time.
In short, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu was using such a ceremony to inspire the determination of the entire Xiongnu army to take revenge and boost morale. It is conceivable that the next day, Li Min, this group of Huns, driven by hatred, would launch an attack on the eagle's mouth held by the Han army. Originally, the loss of a general was a big blow to morale, but the left bone duhou insisted on using this cremation occasion to turn the harm into advantage, which in turn made the death of the left bone duhou become the reason for stimulating the morale of the Hun army.
King Zuoxian's methods can be seen so far.
The determination of the Huns to completely defeat Li Guang this time is also evident from this.
"General, what should I do?"
"The last general asked for the order to lead the remaining cavalry of the headquarters to rush out, and the general took advantage of this to return quickly!"
"General......
Knowing the plans of the Huns, the generals immediately became agitated.
"Everyone, don't be impatient!" Although Li Guang was equally shocked in his heart, his face was very calm.
After everyone quieted down, Li Guang said: "This general ordered the whole army to eat immediately and rest for a while." Half an hour later, the cavalry captain led all the cavalry to assault head-on, not beheading, but asking for a commotion against the Huns! ”
"No!" The cavalry lieutenant replied.
"The light infantry is responsible for the retreat of the cavalry!"
"No!"
"The heavy infantry is responsible for beating the drums and shouting and cheering!"
"No!"
"The whole army is ready to act!" Li Guangda waved his hand, and all the generals immediately went to their own places.
"Father, the child is unknown." When the crowd dispersed, Li Dare wondered. Regarding Li Guang's action arrangement this time, like many school captains, he didn't know what was going on in his heart.
"Qin Lang understands?" Li Guang did not answer directly, but turned to Qin Cheng.
Qin Cheng smiled and said, "I know a little bit about it." ”
"You know? I didn't know that you said you know? It's just a lot of the sky! Li Dare sneered, his expression was extremely arrogant, and he was obviously extremely disdainful of Qin Cheng.
"Shut up!" Li Guang shouted at Li Dang, and unsurprisingly, Li Dang reflexively shrunk his neck, "You can say it." ”
Qin Cheng felt amused at the relationship between the father and son, Li Dang was open-mouthed, thinking of what to say, and never caring about anything else, and Li Guang had always only one sentence of "shut up" about this, so Li Dang was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't dare to say more. Holding back a smile, Qin Cheng said: "The terrain of this place, the Huns categorically have no possibility of directly breaking through from the mountain pass. If they want to break through the defenses here, they have to find another way. As far as I know, the post road on the right side of the gourd's belly can be detoured back to our rear. Although the road is long, with the strength of the Huns' feet, it may not be impossible to arrive in one night. If so, then our army is closed! ”
Speaking of this, Qin Cheng paused, and saw that Li Kang had already looked at him dumbly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and continued: "The general sent cavalry to harass, and then beat the drum and shouted with a large army, it is nothing more than to make the Huns have some scruples, it is best to make them think that our reinforcements have arrived, so they dare not divide the troops, even if the Huns do not think so, let the Huns be in tension from time to time, beware of our sneak attack, can also make them dare not act without permission." Qin Cheng smiled confidently, "Is this what the general is going to do?" ”
"Yes! Yes, too! Qin Lang is really insightful! Li Guang laughed.
"The soldier is treacherous, false and real, this is a clever plan. However, "Qin Cheng's words changed, "I thought that the general's move was not advisable at this time!" ”
