As soon as Xiong Mai left, Li Hu couldn't wait to take Xiong Zun out of town.

A men's battle line has been set up on the ridge in front of the town, which is divided according to the unit of Xiangting Village, Li Yuanyang has divided a lot of people with military literacy to help them reduce the wooden poles, gathered into clusters, at this time out of the town, at a glance, like an undulating wavy line, they are cooking in the pit on the ridge, rolling out wisps of white smoke. Li Hu pulled up a defensive line in Baihe, and Shi Jingsun, who was weak-hearted, had to fight, and he fought overnight, otherwise he refused to defend the county seat for only one or two days, and how could the enemy soldiers spread the border?

Gao Shengwu's army did not attack Baihe overnight, but because Shi Jingsun fought desperately twice, he was afraid that the battle line would be too long and would be taken advantage of.

At present, the nearest army to Baihe, numbering 3,000, is a complete new force in his hands, and at the beginning of the morning, these new forces gathered in the field to practice and warm up for the war.

Gao Shengwu, a native of Ru County, Shangzhou, born in an unknown year, joined the army at the age of fifteen, went through the army chief, even the chief, died long, and was promoted to lieutenant at the age of twenty-two, because the generals of the department were dismissed, he had to return to his hometown, and studied the art of war under the door of Xue Hu, a native of Yueyang, and was recruited by Tian at the age of twenty-five, and followed Tian Qimin...... It is said that he started from the bottom of the army, knew the soldiers, was supported, and was quite valued by Tian Qimin, and was recommended to be a general of other departments.

The official file has an ominous account of his military exploits, and some of them can be seen at a glance as a deadlift.

At this point, the people around Li Hu have already analyzed that as a certain military group in Jingkang, most of the military exploits reported to the imperial court are distributed independently according to the needs of the generals.

Tuli Niu had already taken a few horsemen to inspect it, and was rushing back, and when he met Li Hu going up, he automatically approached him, informed the enemy camp of the situation, and judged: "This army is well-trained, and in Jingkang, it should be regarded as an elite." ”

Although the other party seemed to warm up before the battle, and it was like pulling out of the camp and lining up to go to the battlefield, because there was no news from Fang Hai, everyone was somewhat expectant, thinking that the enemy had been delayed. Li Hu took Tuli Niu back again, the so-called battlefields along the way are all good fields on weekdays, among which there are familiar people planted and about to mature grain, just like this, which makes people feel a faint pain in their hearts.

Tuli Niu pointed out to Li Hu the enemy cavalry in the distance, and said to Sù: "Ah Hu." They made a posture to drive us away, Fang Hai hasn't come back yet, and I don't dare to fight them in a decisive battle, for fear of ruining your plan, so I had to give them avoidance, but they felt that they were scaring us away, you see, they came over again. ”

A small group of cavalry, but more than a dozen, not as many people as Li Hu followed at this time, Li Hu pondered for a while, and asked Tuli Niu: "Can you capture a few alive, first, to ask the enemy, and second, if Fang Hai and them are detained, we will exchange with them." ”

Tuli Niu said "En", clicked the hand, hit the rope buckle and left.

Xiong Zun immediately looked around, excited in his heart, and kept asking Li Hu: "Li Hu." People have bows and arrows, but we can't just rely on rope buckles. ”

Turi Niu had already shot out like an arrow, squeaking and screaming in his mouth, and the Dongxia knight dangling the rope buckle encountered him.

There was a chaotic intermingling.

A moment later, with a cheer, Xiong Zun saw that the two enemy soldiers were buckled by ropes and pulled off their horses, and he also pointed with his hand: "Li Hu, look, put on." Set. ”

Li Hu seemed to be lost in thought.

Suddenly, he woke up and shouted, "Follow me." ”

He galloped like a fly, and the knights behind him followed, and followed him in the southwest direction, and after walking five or six miles, a fire broke out in the direction of Yang Village.

Li Hu pulled the horse and stopped, and said dumbfoundedly: "After all, it's a step too late." ”

Tuli Niu rushed with the captive, arrived at Li Hu's side, looked at the firelight, and hurriedly said, "It should be released by the people in the village, they want to warn us." ”

One of the Eastern Xia cavalrymen immediately summed up: "Dongjia. The enemy general does not directly seize the bridge, but quietly occupies the upper reaches of the river, and is familiar with the art of war and has gone through the battlefield. ”

Li Hu said: "Tuli Niu, I order you to lead fifty horsemen from Maxiang, and my Xia people with fifty horsemen to rush from the other side of the river, trying to intercept the enemy, keep the stone field from being lost, report the situation to me at any time, and find out if there are any casualties in Yang Village." ”

Immediately afterwards, he turned his face and shouted: "Order Li Yuanyang to order Xiangting to march towards the enemy camp with great fanfare...... Let the rest of the cavalry follow me. ”

Xiong Zun asked: "Take the initiative?" ”

Li Hu nodded and asked Xiong Zun: "Familiarize yourself with the art of war." Think about it, what is the enemy general going to do? ”

Xiong Zun came up from the sky, and he had no clue.

An Eastern Xia cavalryman said: "Does the Dongjia mean that the reason why they did not march quickly is because the county town is in our hands, and they are afraid of being flanked?" ”

Xiong Zun was greatly admired and asked, "How do you know?" ”

The cavalry walked side by side with him, and said with a smile: "The enemy did not attack overnight, but he was not delayed by us, intending to occupy the upper reaches of the river, but the Chinese army did not advance, it must be looking behind, what is Gu Hou doing?" Fear of being pinched. ”

Li Hu blackened his face and roared in a low voice: "It's not all. They wanted to refuse to defend the river in the north, for fear that the troops would not be enough, so they gave Shi Jingsun an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they did not march overnight. The enemy general wanted to be Tian Qimin's vanguard and take tens of thousands of troops across the river. Shi Jingsun is a coward, he is about to be crushed into slag, and he thinks that he can protect himself. ”

Everyone was shocked by what he said, and stood still for a while, letting the war horse neigh.

Not only Xiong Zun and some people who had never fought before, but also the knights who were responsible for protecting Li Hu's safety, although they were selected by the army, they were also shocked.

If others were still thinking about Li Hu, they realized at this moment that Li Hu's conclusion could fully withstand the deduction of the art of war.

Why did the enemy army come up with enough confidence to defeat the people of Baihe, but they didn't move all night?

That is because I am afraid that once the fight starts, the breakthrough and pursuit, the front line will be too long, and Shi Jingsun, the county seat behind him, is still there, and the troops will not be enough to safely guard the riverside of the river in the north.

They were stunned, not because they felt that Li Hu was reasonable, but because they realized that what they were facing was not 10,000 enemy troops, thousands of forwards, and it was possible that there were tens of thousands of Tian Qimin's troops. Everyone is a spontaneously organized country Ding Zhuang, although there are quite a few of them, but they are a rabble, and they may be able to fight with the enemy's thousands of forwards in one go, and ensure that Baihe does not lose ...... But if tens of thousands of people under Tian Qimin's command crossed the river?

Think of it as a praying mantis blocking a car.

Someone hurriedly shouted: "Owner." Are we going to take the initiative? ”

Li Hu shook his reins and left, turned his head and said, "That's right. ”

Immediately, some subordinates advised: "The owner, take the initiative to attack a mess, and you may not win." ”

Li Hu shouted coldly: "I know. ”

Immediately, he said: "I hope to be able to disrupt the deployment of the enemy generals, I hope to attract the attention of the enemy generals, not to place a large number of troops in Yang Village, to give Tuli Niu a chance to repel them." He gasped and said, "Since they don't march in, they intend to pave the way for the rear, so will they fight a decisive battle with thousands of us?" If they have a decisive battle with us, they must consider Ueda Guo and Shi Jingsun to fight, his team has suffered huge losses, so it is not 100% guaranteed that the rear can cross the river? ”

He got faster and faster, and flicked his horse.

The crowd followed closely, and some of the cavalrymen who were not strict at the beginning, and the cavalrymen holding their helmets did not move and fastened their helmets to their heads.

When they stood in front of the village in a dead village, dozens of cavalry who walked in front of them arrived, and joined them, and someone had already pointed forward, it was a few women in this village who had not run away, raped by the thieves, with open arms, half-dead hiding in the ridge with their heads bowed.

They also dug a pit over there, and there were dead people to bury them.

Ravaged by the thief army, the south is full of neighbors, and they have no face to go.

Everyone's mood suddenly became heavy.

It's just a place where enemy scouts hang out, but it's been poisoned.

To the south, a black line is moving violently, and the hook and shovel are holding it high, but they? Can you fight? What should I do if the enemy is frightened and routs? Li Hu didn't let them fight to the death with the enemy, but he was also worried that they would run away. He pointed to Wang Xiaoqi with a horsewhip and demanded, "Go." Intercept these women. and bring it before the people, and let them know it...... Let them know. ”

He gathered his whip and looked up at the sky.

The movement of the people of Baihe was also noticed by Gao Shengwu's people.

But he didn't believe it, and asked the scout who flew back, "What did you say?" Are they going to take the initiative? ”

He laughed, "How is this possible? In their camp in Baihe, it is nothing more than Shi Jingsun's sworn brother Li Hu has an army, and he has pulled some Ding from the county town, and he wants to reject our division with great fanfare, they go there to hide, it is not easy not to be scared away, can they still counterattack? ”

He didn't believe it, and the scout was a little anxious.

The scout wanted to say something, but he changed his contempt and became solemn.

The air reverberated like a rhythm.

Rhythm?

Rhythm? How can there be a rhythm?

A middle-aged man also emerged from the tent.

Gao Shengwu respectfully addressed him, "Sir." Are you also alarmed? ”

The man reminded, "This is the tone of the Eastern Xia Drill Ceremony. It is said that relying on this kind of leveling, up, going, and entering, the king of Eastern Xia was able to pull out a group of slaves to fight against Bayi Wusun. ”

Gao Shengwu replied, "Yes, sir." I heard it too. Li Hu is just an ordinary Dongxia person, and the Xia people won't do their best to help him. ”

The man said lightly, "What if he wasn't an ordinary Dongxia man?" ”

Gao Shengwu smiled: "How special can it be?" In fact, the person he sent yesterday gave me all his truth, and that Fang Hai was loyal and well-worded, which surprised me, and I thought that he Li Hu had brought many soldiers from the county. We are here to meet the handsome man to cross the river, and I wanted to agree to their conditions, but when the day was about to dawn, the local high-ranking officials climbed out and revealed to me that Li Hu was a foreigner, not from them at all, and there were not many people who really supported him, and he was also waiting for the Dongxia people to help him, so there was nothing to ...... at this time."

The man said, "You don't have to tell me. I just have to be seen by your handsome, and I don't understand military affairs, and seeing that the situation is urgent, you should quickly go and arrange it. If you can defeat him, you must capture Li Hu alive, he will be useful to me, and I will open my mouth to your commander. ”R1058
