Chapter 24: The Night Battle

The bleak moonlight poured down on the earth like water, and the dark blue night sky was stargazing, making the sky appear extremely high.

The cool night breeze wandered in the crowd of people who were ready to fight, walking through the terrifying wolf howl, the cold wind swirled, the fallen leaves flew, Gao Shun watched the autumn leaves flying like butterflies, and suddenly reached out and pressed the hilt of the knife.

"Shuda, it's me."

Cao Xing's agile body rushed out of the forest, and he lowered his voice: "Shuda, the army has been ambushed, just waiting for the Huns to take the bait." ”

Gao Shun bowed his head slightly, and looked at the outside without saying a word.

"Shuda, do you think the lord's plan will succeed?"

Cao Xing was faintly worried, although Lu Bu's strategy was good, but if the Huns did not take the bait, or the plan was not successful, not to mention the loss of troops, then countless grains and grass would fall into the hands of the enemy.

"The Huns will definitely take the bait!" Gao Shun suddenly replied in the affirmative.

Although Lu Bu's strategy was just an ordinary trick to lure the enemy in, after careful analysis, it would be found that this strategy was not simple.

Mobei is not better than the Central Plains, the snow is earlier, if the Huns do not hurry to pull out the chicken and deer plug before the heavy snow closes the mountain, then the plan of the southern invasion can be declared over.

Lu Bu grasped this characteristic and deliberately defended the mountain without fighting, grinding off the sharpness of the Huns, which was a strategy to attack the mind

In the case of no solution, the Huns will definitely use tricks, such as robbing the camp, such as sneak attacks on grain and grass, so Lu Bu deliberately replaced the grain with sand, making the illusion that the army is short of food, which is a trick to lure the enemy.

According to common sense, if the army is not fed, the cooking smoke in the military camp will be reduced, but in order to confuse the Huns, Lu Bu not only did not reduce the cooking smoke, but increased it a lot.

Gao Shun and Cao Xing took advantage of the confrontation between the two armies, took a large amount of grain and grass to bypass Mingshan, sneaked to the mountains and forests hundreds of miles east of Mingshan, and made the illusion of transporting grain and grass from Gaoque to Jilusai, so that the enemy was convinced that the defenders of Jilusai were already short of food, which was lured for profit.

The four-step strategy, interlocking, true and false, false and real, Gao Shun was even thinking, if he was the main general of the Huns, would he be fooled?

The answer is yes, even a cunning wolf can't escape the trap of a hunter, and this trap is so tempting.

At this time, the moonlight had long been completely obscured by dark clouds, and an eerie mist like a shroud shrouded the mountain forest, like a gauzy curtain at the entrance to the netherworld.

Suddenly, all the war horses tensed their muscles, looked restless, and kept stepping on the dust with their front hooves, Gao Shun pulled out the ring-headed knife, and looked into the depths of the darkness, and the continuous wolf howl suddenly stopped.

Gao Shun raised his hand: "The whole army is on alert, extinguish the fire!" ”

The soldiers in the mountains and forests put on their helmets and armor, drew their swords and guns, and the whole camp was orderly and not panicked.

More than a dozen Han soldiers opened their trouser pockets and poured urine on the fire pile, and the steaming white smoke filled the fire with a fishy shame.

Five scouts hurried over, and one of them reported: "The Huns have about 30,000 horsemen, divided into three teams to search and advance, and another Hun scouts are moving in all directions, and the distance is only five miles." ”

The dense array of torches in the distance made everyone's nerves tense, and this was the first battle outside of the formation of the trap camp, and the enemy seemed to feel the cold blade before they even approached.

Gao Shun glanced around at the soldiers he had trained with his own hands, they were all ready to go, silently waiting for his orders.

"Ambition to fall into battle!"

"There is death and no life!"

"Good!" Gao Shun put the ring head knife across his chest: "From here, we will face a fight to the death, and if you survive, I invite you to drink and have a good time." ”

At this time, the sound of the Huns' horses' hooves was faintly heard in the cold wind......

Suddenly, a loud whistle sounded from the cavalry on the left flank of the Huns, and the campfire that suddenly disappeared in the distance unmistakably showed that the Han army's baggage was close at hand.

Corpse Tu licked his lips greedily, he drew his sword from the exquisite scabbard decorated with turquoise, pointed in the direction of the Han camp, and shouted: "Blow the trumpet!" ”

The dull trombone of the Huns broke the silence of the night, and in the moonlight hordes of cavalry began to assemble, snorting horses' heads pointing at the mountains and forests.

Shao Ti was in high spirits, and raised his scimitar: "Go warriors, wash your swords with the blood of the Han people, and use the heads of the Han people to establish your merits!" ”

"Kill!" Rows of Huns drew their scimitars and rushed to the mountains and forests.

A group of Han troops suddenly appeared on the hill ahead, and they lined up in a row in a hurry, and after the Hun cavalry entered the firing range, they released arrows together.

With the dull sound of sharp arrows piercing into the flesh, the Hun cavalry who rushed in front of them with torches suddenly rolled off their horses, and the Huns were furious, and they bent their bows and shot arrows one after another.

It's just that the Han army was condescending, and the arrows of the Huns fell in front of the slope one after another, although they did not hit the target, but they also forced the Han army to quickly turn the horse's head and run away.

The corpse Tu slaughtered day by day, and raised his knife to point at the mountains and forests: "Catch up and chop them." ”

With the order of the corpse to be slaughtered day by day, the Huns once again sorted out the formation, raised their swords and horses, and rushed straight to the Han array.

However, the camp chosen by the Han army was extremely exquisite, this place was in the shape of a ladder, with high mountains on both sides and mountains and forests in the middle, and the entrance was extremely narrow, which could only accommodate a thousand people at a time.

Many Huns hurriedly dismounted and rushed into the mountains and forests on foot, vowing to fight to the death with the Han army.

Suddenly, a series of heart-rending neighing horses made a series of neighing sounds, and the thousands of cavalry who rushed to the front turned over in an uproar, and those behind did not rein in their horses, causing a large group of cavalry to crash into it on its own, and the attacking formation was in chaos.

Trap horse pits, countless trap pits.

Gao Shun stood up abruptly from the grass, raised his knife and pointed at the trap and roared: "Release the arrow!" ”

Thousands of bows and crossbows in ambush were fired intensively, and sharp arrows burst through the air, facing this dense Hun cavalry, even a blind man could shoot it, not to mention these strictly trained trapping soldiers.

The war horse that had been lying on its side in the grass was dragged up by the soldiers, Gao Shun lifted the reins and pulled the locks, and held the ring head knife high: "Kill." ”

The trapped camp raised its iron spear and shouted: "Kill." ”

In the sound of galloping horses' hooves, the stubborn trap camp roared in, and the swords and guns in their hands were frighteningly cold.

"It's the Han Army!" Finally, they could fight with real swords and guns, and the angry Huns brandished their swords and rushed to the camp with a wild scream.

Hundreds of spears rained down from the sky, and even with shields in hand, powerful spears pierced the Huns' cowhide shields until they pierced their bodies.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Huns, Gao Shun single-handedly slaughtered into the enemy formation, waved the big knife in his hand repeatedly, and split the two Huns to the ground with only one face, and with a backhand, he split a Hun who was ready to sneak attack in half.

Seeing that Gao Shun only joined the three people and fell off the horse, the soldiers in the camp were excited like a group of howling wolves, they rushed into the enemy formation with knives, cut when they saw people, chopped when they met people, each brave, and immediately killed the Huns, chickens and dogs jumped, and retreated.

Gao Shun killed the enemy while watching the battle situation, seeing that there were more and more Huns, and they had gradually formed an encirclement trend, he slashed the Huns who were blocking in front of him to the ground, and then raised his sword: "Withdraw!" ”

The order was forbidden, and the soldiers in the camp heard the order, and they left the battlefield one after another, and retreated in the direction of Mingshan on horseback, where could the Huns let them leave calmly, and they chased after them one after another, vowing to kill this group of Han troops who did not know whether to live or die.

But just after chasing five miles, there are countless Huns who fell off their horses, it turned out that on this sheep intestine path, it was full of dozens of triphorse ropes, and the Hun cavalry who rushed to the front fell from their horses one after another, embarrassed.

He gritted his teeth with hatred day by day, he looked at the direction of the Han army, and slashed the war horse transporting grain and grass with his backhand, the war horse screamed, and fell straight in a pool of blood, and the carriage it pulled also poured out, and a lot of corn flowed out like sand.

Seeing this, Shao Ti, who came in a hurry, was as excited as a hungry wolf who found food, and he licked his dry lips: "Catch up and pull out the chicken and deer stoppers." ”

The Hun soldiers turned their horses' heads one after another, and under the leadership of the corpse Tu Sun Tu, they rode their horses to the first ray of dawn in the sky.
