Chapter 20: Luring the Enemy Deeper

Zhang Jing was in the Xihai County Guard Mansion in the afternoon, and Yang Shizhong reported to Zhang Jing in detail the details of the invasion of Xihai County by the Beiliang Army.

In order to resist the Huns' attack on Jiuquan City, last year King Liang ordered more than 3,000 soldiers from Xihai County to be transferred to Jiankang County to return to the Eastern General Tang Yao. There were more than 3,000 troops left in the vast area of Xihai County, which led to an increase in the defensive pressure of Xihai County.

Since the beginning of this year, the Huns' many raids have caused more than half of the soldiers in Xihai County to be lost, and now there are only more than 1,000 defenders and more than 800 cavalry left in the city.

After the invasion of Fuqu Yihe, Taishou Yang Yi led the army to rescue the Xihai Ranch, but was ambushed by the Huns in the middle of the road, and was killed by several arrows.

More than 1,000 war horses in the entire Xihai Ranch were looted, and after the Yihe plundered the pasture, he concluded that the Xiliang army did not dare to go out of the city, so he plundered the army along the way, and it was estimated that the plundered war horses and Xiliang women would be brought back to the territory of Beiliang tomorrow night.

Zhang Jing ordered Yang Shizhong to bring all the more than 800 cavalry in the city under the command of Lei Ming, and the rest of the defenders strictly guarded Xihai City.

Lei Ming learned that Zhang Jing had assigned the cavalry of Xihai City to him, and immediately went to the school field. Tomorrow the fifth watch will be set off, and now we have to go and get ready for the expedition.

"The last general, Shi Hong, has seen General Lei, and under the order of General Zhenbei, he has more than 800 cavalry under his command, which is dispatched by the general." Lei Ming came to the school grounds, and a captain in leather armor stepped forward to greet him and said.

The man in front of him was eight feet tall, with long thick eyebrows and big eyes, holding a big knife in his hand, and stood aside after saluting Lei Ming.

"Good! Prepare for tonight, cook tomorrow on the third watch, and set off on the fifth watch, and you can't make a mistake at that time. Lei Ming glanced at the cavalry led by Shi Hong in the school field, and said to Shi Hong on the side.

"The general can rest assured, if the military plane is delayed, the last general will come to see him." Shi Hong said in a loud voice after clenching his fists.

"Hmmm! Let's go down and prepare! Lei Ming ordered.

Lei Ming looked at the cavalry in front of him, and his heart was ecstatic. These cavalrymen have survived many wars and have a wealth of combat experience.

"Fuck me stand up, tomorrow on the battlefield, I will kill the Hun thieves for Lao Tzu, otherwise see how Lao Tzu cleans you up! Did you hear me clearly? At this moment, on the side of the school field, the hammer was carrying two heavy hammers behind it, and he scolded the black pressure in front of him.

"Hear me clearly!" The infantry on the field shouted loudly.

When night fell, there was silence in Xihai City, the moon overhead was about to be full, the moonlight shone on the school field, and the sergeants' broadswords and spears were shining.

Li Yan came to Zhang Jing's camp tent, and stood beside Zhang Jing after giving a salute, the fire in the camp was shining, and Zhang Jing was holding a candlestick in his hand and carefully looking at the sheepskin map hanging above the handsome platform.

"General Li, sit down! What's the matter with looking for Ben late at night? After Zhang Jing turned around and put the candlestick away, he said to Li Yan with a smile.

"General Qiqi, the last general will go out for this expedition, if it is a head-on confrontation, our army may be difficult to defeat the Hun iron cavalry. The last general was willing to lead the cavalry to lure the Hun thieves, and the general set up an ambush on the Black Stone Cliff, even if he could not completely destroy the Hun thieves, he could inflict heavy damage on them. Li Yan clasped his fists and said to Zhang Jing.

"Oh? Can General Li be sure that he will introduce the Huns into the Black Rock Cliff? Zhang Jing stroked his beard and looked at Li Yan and said.

"Look, General Hui! There are more than 40 miles to go to the Black Stone Cliff, the Black Stone Cliff is about two miles long, the road is only more than one zhang wide, the other side is the cliff, it is the only way for Xihai County to return to Beiliang and return to Jiuquan City. Li Yan stepped forward and pointed to an important place on the sheepskin map and said.

"After the fifth watch, the general led the infantry of the northern army of Zhenzhen to set up an ambush on the Black Stone Cliff, and the last general led the troops to kill the Hun thief camp and lure the Hun thief to come!" Li Yan saw Zhang Jing's face was silent and said again.

"General Li, having said that, if the Hun thieves hadn't lured in, wouldn't our army have wasted the opportunity in vain?" Zhang Jing pondered for a moment and then asked rhetorically.

"General Hui, if Fuqu Yihe knew that his son Fuqu Jiji died at the hands of our Zhenbei Army, I am afraid that if our Zhenbei Army does not go to him at that time, Fuqu Yihe will also come to my Zhenbei Army for revenge." Li Yan untied the burden beside him, and inside was the armor and scimitar in front of Fu Qu Jiji.

"Good! General Li can introduce the Hun thieves into the Black Stone Cliff, which is a great achievement, and then Ben will personally ask for credit to King Liang for General Li! After Zhang Jing saw Li Yan take out the armor scimitar of Frustration Qu Jiji, he patted Li Yan on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you, General! The last general will live up to his mission! Rest assured, general. Li Yan knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said.

"Good! General Li will go back first! Tomorrow's fifth watch, this general will personally lead the army to set up an ambush on the Black Rock Cliff! After Zhang Jing finished speaking, he personally sent Li Yan out of the tent.

After Li Yan came out of Zhang Jing's tent, he went to find Lei Ming and Iron Hammer respectively. Li Yan told the hammer to let the sergeants bring more arrows and thistles, after all, the cavalry of the Huns rushed to kill, and it was difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist, and only by slowly consuming the strength of the Huns could they have a chance to fight.

Lei Ming heard that he was going to lead the cavalry to lure the Huns to the Black Stone Cliff, and his face was worried, after all, there were more than 2,000 Hun cavalry, which was a powerful force. If there is a mistake, the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army may be wiped out.

"General, it's better to let the last general go to lure the enemy, this time we are facing the Hun army, once there is an accident, how can we explain to King Liang." Lei Ming said with a worried face.

"It's okay, if I hadn't gone in person, I'm afraid the Huns wouldn't have been fooled! Don't worry, it's going to be fine, the thief who can kill me Li Yan hasn't appeared yet! Ha ha! Li Yan laughed and said.

"Good! Since the generals say so, the last general is desperate to protect the general! Lei Ming changed his worried look and said with a firm gaze.

Li Yan said goodbye to Lei Ming and returned to his camp, and Han Qian fell asleep after seeing Li Yan come back.

The night soon arrived at the third watch, the entire school was brightly lit, and the sergeants quickly had their meals, and they were waiting for Zhang Jing's order at the moment.

Each sergeant carried a quiver and a longbow with thirty arrows in his back, and spears in his hands, many of whom were on their first expedition, holding their spears and knives tightly.

"General Qiyu, everything is ready, please give the general an order!" Lei Ming and Iron Hammer clenched their fists in unison and said to Zhang Jing who was sitting on horseback.

"Let's go!" Zhang Jing drew his sword and said to everyone.

Li Yan led the cavalry out of Xihai City from the east gate of Xihai City and killed the village where the Huns were located.

The Xiongnu cavalry, under the leadership of Fuqu Yihe, plundered half of Xihai County, plundering grain, horses, and women along the way, and there were slaughtered villages everywhere.

Originally, most of the people in Xihai County raised horses at home, and the plundering of Fuqu Yihe, together with the horses plundered from the Xihai pasture, was more than 2,000. In the camp where the Huns were stationed, there were horses everywhere.

At this moment, the Huns were immersed in sleep, and only some of them were patrolling and guarding the Han women and horses that had been plundered.

It was now the fifth watch, and the patrolling Huns were all yawning, and they were bound by the hands of many Han women who had plundered, and they were all locked up next to the stables, all shivering from the cold.

In a huge tent, on the wool felt on the ground, there was a naked, bearded, disheveled man, who was snoring, and outside the tent lay a woman, who had long since lost her life.

"Speed up, keep up!" Lei Ming said to the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army behind him.

"General, there are less than ten miles to go to the camp of the Hun thieves!" Thunder sat on horseback and said loudly.

"Hmmm! Let the soldiers cheer up, and they will be fighting with the Huns in a while! Li Yan commanded towards Lei Ming.

The sky was already bright, and in the Hun camp, Fuqu Yihe had already gotten up. After a few days of looting, the results were abundant, and with these war horses and the merit of shooting the Taishou of the West Sea, the king's reward must be indispensable.

The Huns had already begun to prepare to evacuate the camp, and the horses neighed in the camp.

"Kill! Fight into the camp of the thieves. Li Yan took the lead, holding a horse lance and rushing towards the camp of the Huns.

The Huns plundered the Xihai for a few days, and the Xiliang defenders retreated in the Xihai City after the death of Taishou Yang Yi, not daring to fight. At this time, the Hun camp was flat with no trenches or obstacles such as rejecting horses.

"General, the Xiliang Army has rushed in!" Fuqu Yihe's own soldiers rushed into the camp tent and reported to Fuqu Yihe.

"What? How many people came from the Xiliang Army? When he heard this, he stood up abruptly and stared at the guards and asked.

"Back ~ General Hui, there are about more than 1,000 cavalry in the Xiliang Army, and they are rushing towards our army camp from the side!" Fuqu Yihe and the Huns in front of him looked at Fu Quyi and his fierce eyes, and stammered.

"Good! It's good to come! This is a fat sheep given by God to the general, if you kill this more than 1,000 Xiliang cavalry, this is a great merit. Hahahaha! Frustrated Qu Yihe's eyes lit up, and he said with a laugh.

"Take the general's broadsword!" Frustrated Qu Yihe said to the soldiers.

Fuqu Yoshiwa took the big sword from the hand of the guard and strode towards the outside of the tent.

Li Yan led the cavalry behind him, and as soon as he entered the camp, he opened a killing spree, and the black arrows shot towards the Huns. The Huns, who were hit by arrows, let out a cry of pain.

After Li Yan stabbed the two of them in a row, he picked off a Hun cavalryman, and the hooves of the horse stepped on the chest of the Huns, and the sound of "clicking" bones was staggered, and the Huns on the ground spit blood.

At this time, the Huns began to mount their horses and rushed towards Li Yan and them.

The Hun cavalry waved the scimitar in their hands, and the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army was harvested from time to time.

At this moment, the Hun camp is like purgatory on earth, broken arms and remnants can be seen everywhere, those sergeants who fell off their horses were trampled by war horses, and there were shouts of killing.

Li Yan and Han Qian were armed with horse lances and killed vigorously in the camp. Suddenly, a Hun man in armor slashed at Li Yan from behind.

Seeing that he was about to slash at Li Yan's waist, Han Qian's horse lance blocked the big knife, and Li Yan turned around and saw the person clearly.

"Who are you, thief?" Li Yan pointed at the person who came with a lance and said.

"Haha! Ben will be Frustrated Qu Yihe, little doll, take your life! Frustrated Qu Yihe laughed, and rode his horse towards Li Yan.

"Arrogance!" Li Yan snorted coldly and greeted him.

Fuqu Yihe's big knife slashed at Li Yan's lance, and Li Yan's hand trembled, this Frustrated Qu Yihe's strength was the same as Han Qian's.

The two fought for more than ten rounds, and neither was helpless against each other.

Li Yan saw that the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army in the camp was gradually defeated by the Huns' counterattack, and if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would be surrounded by the Huns.

Li Yan pulled off the burden from the horse, and said to Fuqu Yihe: "Thief general, return your son Fuqu Jiji to you!" Ha ha! ”

"The Zhenbei army listens to the order, the thief army is strong, hurry up and rush out with the general!" After Li Yan threw the burden to Fuqu Yihe, he rode his horse and killed outside the camp.

Fuqu Yihe was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Yan talking about Fuqu Ji, and casually took the burden that Li Yan threw over, and after untying it, he saw that it was Fuqu Jiji's armor. This armor was built by Fuqu Yihe himself when he was fifteen years old, and no one knows this armor better than him.

"Ah, my son! Xiliang Doll! I was going to break you into ten thousand pieces, so that my son was the spirit of the sky! Frustrated Qu Yihe looked at the blood stains on his armor and roared angrily.

"Pass the order, go down and chase the Xiliang cavalry with all your might, whether you live or die!" Fuqu Yihe ordered left and right.
