Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Age of Heroes
According to the calculation of latitude and longitude in later generations, more than 1,000 li to the north (Han system) from Qiansang City in Shanggu County is almost a latitude difference of eight or nine degrees, and the temperature difference caused by this latitude difference of eight or nine degrees is undoubtedly very large. Qin Cheng and the others didn't feel cold when they attacked the Hun tribe in the middle of the night, but when it came to the time of Li Min, the temperature difference brought by the difference in latitude was enough for all the soldiers to drink a pot.
Running thousands of miles, going deep into the desert, killing people and making contributions in the old nest of the Huns, such a feat, except for Qin Cheng, other Han soldiers did not dare to think of it before. And the victory of a sneak attack war has an immeasurable effect on morale. Two thousand light horsemen, more than 100 casualties in last night's battle, and 839 were actually beheaded, including both sergeants and Hun civilians.
In the end, the leader of the tribe with dozens of people relied on the familiar terrain and the momentum of breaking through without fear of death, but successfully escaped, seeing that the leader disappeared into the night, Qin Cheng did not chase far, when Qin Cheng looked back at the Hun tribe in a sea of fire, it was inevitable that there was a burst of pride in his heart. In his previous life, Qin Cheng could be regarded as having experienced some worlds, but after all, it was an underworld battle that could not be brought to the table, even if he won, he would not be able to have the pleasure he has now.
Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures?
How many men in later generations have great ambitions and have a strategy to govern the country and secure the country, but they can only run around for the garage all their lives? is Qin Cheng, in his previous life, he also had a heroic dream of serving the country in the army for more than ten years, but in the end he had to step into the underworld. Comparatively speaking, born in such a heroic era as the Han Dynasty, such as Qincheng, a cloth cloth can still rely on his bravery and wisdom to obtain a position above 10,000 people, and build an immortal feat for the country and the people, but what about in later generations? No money and no background means that it is impossible to achieve much in politics, let alone bring thousands of iron horsemen to drive out the Tartars.
Lend me a heroic era, and I will give you back a dream of a great power.
At this moment, Qin Cheng thought of it, his eyes shone with the flames of war, and his right hand held the long knife tightly.
Overhead, the stars are shining.
After the battle, the army cleaned up the battlefield and captured the spoils, and the accompanying military medical officers seized the time to treat the wounded and reduce casualties.
Subsequently, Qin Cheng first sent someone back to report to Li Guang, and then ordered all the soldiers who had not rested much for a day and a night and had just experienced a battle to rest.
When it was dawn, the army rushed back to the upper valley at full speed.
The Hun cavalry in Shanggu would naturally be worried that Qin Cheng would be attacked by the Han army while many tribes of Zuo Xianwang's army were empty, so they had to return to help, while Qin Cheng had to leave the desert, a strange place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.
For the desert, the Han army is still unfamiliar after all. This time, if it weren't for the mountain armor to recognize the general direction, Qin Cheng might not be able to lead the light cavalry to succeed in one blow, even so, the worship of Qin Cheng by the generals still reached a new height. Therefore, Qin Cheng had to return to the Han realm as soon as possible, and at the same time try to avoid encountering the Hun cavalry returning from the north on the way.
In fact, after leaving 3,000 cavalry to deal with Li Guang, Yi Xueer divided the remaining 6,000 cavalry into three routes and surrounded them to the north, and at the same time gave full play to the advantage of long-distance reconnaissance of the Hun cavalry, intending to intercept the Han cavalry attacking the desert. Yi Xue'er's order is also clear that any of the three cavalry encounters the Han cavalry, there is no need to die, just bite the Han cavalry to the death, prevent them from running back to the upper valley, and at the same time send Ran to contact the other two cavalry, and strive to deal with the Han cavalry with absolute superiority in three or two cavalry, and wipe it out in the desert in one fell swoop.
Yi Xue'er, who has a fairly clear understanding of the military strength of Shanggu, calculated that the number of Han cavalry rushing in the desert this time will not exceed two thousand. Although the Hun cavalry who reported from the Hun barracks in Shanggu from the desert exaggerated the number of Han troops who went to attack and how elite their combat power was, this argument of evading responsibility would not hide from Yi Xue'er, nor would it make her judgment wrong.
Therefore, Yi Xueer is still a little sure that the Han cavalry who attacked the desert will stay in the desert forever, although how many beauties can say clearly.
Just let my ranger find you, and you're done! Yi Xue'er led two thousand elite Hun cavalry to rush back, staring at the north with her eyes fixed, and secretly gritted her teeth.
This "you" is naturally Qin Cheng.
It can only be Qin Cheng.
Ixher's wishful thinking was loud, but in fact, things were as she expected, but the details were a little different.
Qin Cheng also considered that he might encounter the interception of the Hun cavalry when retreating, so he let the sergeant sleep after yesterday's battle, which can be regarded as recuperating his spirit and having the energy to deal with emergencies.
For this retreat to Shanggu County, Qin Cheng did not think about borrowing Dai County or Yuyang County, so as to avoid being blocked by the Hun cavalry who returned to help, but according to the Han military system, if a county sergeant wants to leave his county and set foot in the territory of other counties, he must have a tiger talisman to dispatch, if Qin Cheng dares to appear in Dai County or Yuyang County, it will violate the military system. Although there is a precedent of being in a hurry to obey the power, Qin Cheng, who came from later generations, also knows Liu Che's temperament, and Liu Che hates this kind of overstepping the rules, especially the military overstepping the rules. Take Wei Qing as an example, such a deep general trusted by Liu Che, back then (according to the original development of history) was because Liu Che, who was supervising the battle in Ganquan Palace, was attacked by the Hun cavalry who ran from the mountain road and mobilized the Tiger Ben army without a tiger talisman.
Qin Cheng didn't want to take two thousand light horsemen to finally achieve some results in the desert, but he made a fuss because he touched Liu Che's reverse scales. So even if it is a bit risky to go back to Shanggu directly, Qin Cheng must choose so.
Of course, if he really encountered the Hun cavalry, Qin Cheng would still have a follow-up move.
So when the scattered rangers came back to report to Qin Cheng that they had found the Hun cavalry in front, Qin Cheng did not panic in the slightest. Qin Cheng naturally knew that his rangers had discovered the other party, and the other party's rangers must have also discovered him. In other words, the next battle is inevitable.
However, when the ranger informed Qin Cheng that the other party's team was only two thousand people, Qin Cheng even smiled proudly.
Two thousand against two thousand, that's fair.
However, for the light cavalry of the Han army, which has not been fully formed, how to defeat the Hun cavalry in front and ensure that it is not dragged by the other party is also a serious problem.
"Ji Zhu, Qin Qingzhi listens to orders!" Qin Cheng said, "Order the two of you to lead the army to meet the enemy and implement the No. 3 preparation plan!" ”
"Liu Mu, Le Yi obeys the order, and orders the two of you to lead the army to the left!"
