Chapter 38 Guerrilla Tactics

One hour later, when everyone was waiting impatiently, Zhou Fei, who was in charge of observation, reported: "General, the enemy has a team of 100 people moving south along the west bank of the Qinglian River. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gao Shun smiled: "Hehe, these Huns are not stupid, let's withdraw and stare at the Huns on the west bank." ”

"In this case, won't the Hun army come up from here?" Zhou Fei asked suspiciously.

Gao Shun said: "If we don't retreat, we will be surrounded by the Huns on the west bank after crossing the river, and we will only focus on the enemy west of the river, so that there is no danger of being surrounded; I guess there will be no battle today, so let's find a place to camp first, and then repair them tomorrow. ”

The enemy was cowering, and everyone had no choice but to rest and recuperate first, and then look for fighters.

That night, the people gathered their horses and found a hidden ravine in the southern Luya Mountain to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, early in the morning of the second day, Gao Shun woke up and checked the system map first, and found no trace of the enemy within 4 kilometers around, so he said: "Everyone feed the horses and eat first, and we will go to the Huns for trouble." ”

"Yes, General."

The Huns camped in the Sanchakou camp, and they were cautious all night, arranging a large number of people to be on duty at night, and they were nervous, for fear that the Han people would attack the camp, causing most of them to have dark circles in the morning.

When Gao Shun and the others approached the Xiongnu camp, the Xiongnu were eating, and the sound of horses' hooves alarmed them.

The guard reported: "Commander, the enemy is coming. ”

"How many people came?" By the sound of horses' hooves, the commander judged that there were not many people, and did not attract his attention.

"There are only 6 people, presumably scouts of the enemy."

"The 400-man team is going to eliminate or drive away these scouts, don't go too far and fall for the tricks of the Han Chinese." The 100th team is his personal guard, the 200th team is missing, and the 300th team lost more than half of it yesterday and has lost its combat effectiveness, so it has to let the 400th team go.

"Yes, Commander." The centurion did not take the commander's instructions to heart, and he judged that there would not be a large number of enemies around.

The commander of the thousand commanders ordered: "Everyone hurry up and eat, and after the meal, go and destroy the village guards, and then everyone moves freely." ”

"Yes, Commander." Everyone understood what it meant to be free to move, and they were very happy.

Several Hun soldiers on duty nearby were shot, and Gao Shun and others fired rockets from outside the enemy's camp and set fire to several tents.

Seeing that the enemy sent cavalry, Gao Shun and the others immediately retreated, not wanting to be surrounded by the enemy, but their speed was not fast, and they were only about 100 meters away from the enemy.

Seeing that the enemy scouts were not far away, but just hanging them and running, the Hun centurion was very annoyed and ordered the soldiers to speed up the pursuit.

The two sides launched a fierce pursuit on this mountain plain, which is more than 50 kilometers long from north to south and about 15 kilometers wide.

Gao Shun and others spread out and galloped side by side, with a distance of about 10 meters from each other; The formation of the Huns also dispersed, pursuing them in the rear.

After running for about 3 miles, Gao Shun slowed down and shouted, "Let's repair these undead Huns." ”

"Yes, General."

The crowd took out their bows and arrows and began to shoot at the dense Hun cavalry behind. Now the distance with the Huns is only more than 60 meters, and the Hun cavalry is relatively dense, and the Huns are only wearing leather armor, while Gao Shun and others are all wearing two crotch armor.

Turning around and shooting on the galloping horse, even if Gao Shun and the others are strong in martial arts, the hit rate is half lower, but it is already much better than the Huns, they can't shoot a bow and arrow on a galloping horse at such a distance, and can only be beaten passively.

Gao Shun and the others are not fast in their rate of fire, and it would be good to shoot one arrow per minute; However, for every round of arrows fired by the six men, at least 2 or 3 Hun cavalry were shot under their horses.

In just over 10 minutes, less than 10 miles away, nearly 20 Huns were shot under the horse, and more than 10 people were injured, and the casualties accounted for one-third of this centurion.

Gao Shun and the others also stopped running away and kept a distance of more than 80 meters.

The Huns used a composite bow, referred to as the horn bow, with a maximum strength of 2 stones, a short range, and an advantage of a fast rate of fire; But it is not as powerful as the 6-stone iron-wood composite bow that Gao Shun is equipped with, and the difference in range is very large.

"These despicable Han Chinese."

"The Han people will play tricks."

"When you catch them, you must tear them apart."

The Huns cursed incessantly.

Stopping running and resting for a while, Gao Shun and the others began to shoot at them again, and the centurion had no choice but to order to return; And Gao Shun and others followed behind to catch up.

The Huns fled for their lives in front, but how could their horses compare with the thousands of horses of Gao Shun and others? This time the distance was kept at about 30 meters, Gao Shun and others shot forward, very handy, plus the distance was closer, the results of the harvest were very significant, and the Huns continued to fall from the arrows.

After the Huns returned to the camp, as soon as the number of people was counted, the centurion spurted out a mouthful of blood and passed out. There were more than 80 people at the time of departure, less than 30 returned, and more than 50 people were killed by the enemy.

Outside the camp, Gao Shun ordered to stop the chase and quickly gather the Xiongnu horses.

drove the war horse to the south, and by the way, searched for the war horses left over from before, and obtained a total of 31 war horses; Gao Shun was very satisfied, and released 1 Shi sword and shield soldiers from the system, and asked them to drive the horses back to Taoyuan Fort first, and explain the matter here to the chief, and let him go back to convey it to Ma Gui.

Although these sword and shield soldiers cannot fight on horseback, they can travel on horseback.

Gao Shun ordered: "Everyone trim for half an hour, and then continue to teach the Huns a lesson." ”

"Yes, General." Everyone liked the tactics very much today and were very happy with the results.

After listening to the centurion's report, the Hun commander was a little frightened in his heart, and in just half an hour, he was disabled by a centurion, and he didn't know what conspiracy and tricks the Han people were waiting for them, so he ordered to strengthen the defense of the camp and convened the centurion to discuss countermeasures.

"Commander, we must fight quickly, we don't have much food and grass with us."

"If the enemy uses this tactic, it is not difficult to understand that the 200th team is missing, and if there is no large battalion as a retreat, the 400th team will also be dangerous this time."

"Commander Qian, we'd better report to General Zuo, or we won't suffer heavy losses, and it's hard to explain when we go back."

"Commander, this is the enemy's tactic to lure the enemy deeper, we can't be fooled."

Everyone was gossiping, and the centurions, who had no losses, did not want to continue the battle, and the third centurion, who had suffered heavy losses, said: "Commander, the enemy is only 6 people, and our large army is pursuing together, and the left and right sides are surrounded, and they must be unable to escape." ”

The 400 Commander said: "If the left and right sides are encircled, they will not dare to fight and flee, then our large army can push it flat and go straight to Taiping Village, those villagers are not our opponents." ”

After thinking for a while, the commander decided to send someone to inform General Zuo first, and at the same time the large army attacked, so he said: "The first, fifth, and sixth three hundred-man teams are the central army, the seventh and eighth hundred-man teams are pursuing on the left, the ninth and eleventh hundred-man teams are pursuing on the right, and the third and fourth two hundred-man teams are protecting the grain and grass, and then follow up; The teams took immediate action. ”

"Yes, Commander."

Hundreds of people were dispatched at the same time, and only 6 people were dealt with, and everyone temporarily dispelled their fears.

By the time Gao Shun and the others had rested enough, the Hun army had already caught up.

Seeing that the enemy was divided into three ways, Gao Shun laughed, it seemed that the enemy was scared, but the enemy was lined up in this formation, and it was difficult to deal with, so he ordered: "Retreat." ”

Li Qiang was very dissatisfied and asked, "General, let's not fight?" ”

"We have few people, and if we fight any of them, we will be in danger of being surrounded by enemies on the other two roads, so let's withdraw first, find a place with good terrain and then repair them." Gao Shun explained.

"Yes, General." Everyone felt that Gao Shun's words made sense, as long as they were not surrounded, they could find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy.

Seeing that Gao Shun and the others wanted to run, the commander of the Huns shouted to the guards: "Order all teams to speed up the pursuit!" ”

"Yes, Commander!"

The horses of Gao Shun and the others ran fast, and soon ran out of the sight of the Huns. After more than an hour, Gao Shun and the others arrived at the southernmost part of Jiabi Mountain, the canyon at the intersection of Luya Mountain, the canyon was less than 300 meters wide, Li Qiang smiled and said: "General, this is the place where the captain said that he would build a castle." ”

"Haha, I noticed it when I came, but I didn't consider the construction of the castle, it is indeed a good place, if you build a castle in Zhaozhuang, you can echo the thing." Gao Shun said happily.

Li Qiang asked: "General, do you want to ambush the Huns here?" ”

"It's not an ambush, it's waiting for the Huns, don't let them run away, just teach a little lesson here, and you can take a break while you take the opportunity."

"Yes, General."

Li Qiang took the opportunity to ask everyone to arrange some rocks in the narrow passage, not to block the Hun cavalry, but to let them slow down so that they could shoot at them calmly.

Half an hour later, Gao Shun and the others rested almost, the Huns were late, due to the effect of the rocks, indeed as Li Qiang and others thought, the three Huns merged into one road, slowed down, and approached the canyon.

Fearing an ambush, they did not dare to go out with all their might, and the commander ordered the 500th team to come and check the situation.

According to Gao Shun's order, when the Huns approached 60 meters, they first shot the enemy with a crossbow, and then attacked with a bow and arrow.

6 strong crossbows were fired at the same time, and 6 Hun cavalry "ouched" and fell off their horses.

Then a dense number of sharp arrows shot at the Hun cavalry, and more than 20 cavalry fell off their horses, but the distance was very close, Gao Shun shouted: "Retreat!" ”

Seeing the enemy fleeing, the 500-man team cautiously crossed the canyon in batches, found that there was no ambush here, and immediately went back to report.

Annoyed, the commander lost nearly 30 more men, ordered his troops to move away the rocks, and then pursued them with all their might. For this situation of being passively beaten, all the Huns were full of anger, and they would definitely teach them a lesson after catching up with them.

By the afternoon, the same thing was once again playing out in the gorge west of Zhaozhuang, and this time the Xiongnu commander no longer worried about the Han ambush, but ordered 3 centurions to charge forward together.

For this kind of dense formation charge, Gao Shun and others prefer it, which can greatly improve their shooting efficiency.

Due to the blockage of the rocks, the Huns were slow, like a fixed target, and when they rushed through the rocky area and crossed the canyon, Gao Shun and others fled again, but this time they were killed and injured more than 50 people, the Hun commander looked at the fleeing Gao Shun and others, and the heart of the anger was about to explode, these despicable and cunning Han people, after catching them, they must be good-looking.
