Chapter 14: The First Battle

When Gao Ye experienced the real march, he sighed in his heart, this is too fucking tired! As a later generation, going out every day is either by car or by train and plane, although tired, but it is more of a psychological fatigue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And now that I am riding on my horse, I would have to die of exhaustion if I hadn't been in good shape, and I would have died of exhaustion on this day's march.

However, after a whole day of marching, I still did not meet a single Hun, after all, the Huns were all on horseback, and they were going home, and the speed must be fast. Because you don't have to fight when you go home, you don't need to accumulate horsepower, and you don't need to recharge your energy, you just run all the way and go home. But Gao Ye's side is very different, it is already behind the distance of a day and a night, and in order to prepare for battle, the army can not always run wildly, so it is still a very difficult thing to catch up with the Huns.

On the first day of the army, the whole day was spent on the march. When evening came, they set up camp. When Gao Ye heard this order, it was like a pardon, and he could finally get off his horse and rest. Seeing Gao Shun commanding the men and horses to set up camp, although Gao Ye didn't say anything, he was learning in secret. Didn't someone say that "everything in the world is knowledgeable", how can you let go of such a good opportunity to observe and learn?

Just when Gao Ye stole the division, in Wuyuan City, Du Zan had already written a recital to impeach Lu Bu for sending troops privately, and he, as a guard, had the right to write directly to the emperor.

In Du Zhan's letter, although he focused on the ferocity of the Huns' attack on the grass valley, the fierceness of the attack on Wuyuan City, and the miserable life of the people of Wuyuan after the sweep. In the memorabilia, it focuses on portraying the resentment and shame of the officials of Wuyuan City against the miserable poison of the people under their rule, as well as the high hatred of the entire Wuyuan people for the Huns. In the end, I wrote that Lu Bu and Gao Ye heard about it, and they were furious, and they wanted to go to the grassland to report their revenge regardless of the obstacles. But the point is to bluntly say that Lu Bu is emotional, does not listen to his prelude to the imperial court's advice to wait for military orders, and uses what fighter plane is fleeting to prevaricate himself. It is really a heinous crime to send troops without permission in such disregard of military law.

Du Zhan's twists and turns seem to be impeaching Lu Bu, but in fact, he is still thinking about Lu Bu. Gao Ye's words were right, Yu Gong himself was the Taishou of Wuyuan, so he naturally had to persuade Lu Bu to follow the order. He is an official of the emperor, not an official of Ding Yuan, openly supporting Lu Bu and obeying Ding Yuan, which is very easy to arouse the suspicion of the emperor. Now that such a recital is on the stage, I have participated in Lu Bu's book, not only to tell the ministers of the DPRK and the current saint that he is absolutely loyal to his duties, but also to portray Lu Bu as a loyal but emotional person. The people of his own family were killed by the Huns, and as the first general of the state, he suffered such a shame from the Huns, and it was reasonable to take revenge.

Moreover, Du Zan knew that Gao Ye personally wrote a letter to Ding Yuan before leaving, mainly asking him to play the book and excuse Lu Bu. After all, Lu Feng was a fierce general in the state first, and it was reasonable for Lord Shi to protect him; Second, Lu Bu was originally the righteous son of Lord Thorn Shi, and it was even more justified for his father to protect his son. Moreover, this expedition, with Lu Bu here, must be a great victory, so that it can increase the prestige of my Han family, so whether it is Your Majesty or the general, you will definitely be happy, in this way, even if the ten permanent servants want to find trouble, they will be in the way, and they will naturally be safe. In this way, no one in the DPRK and China will mention this matter of sending troops privately.

Du Zan heard that this was Guo Jia's idea for Gao Ye, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After experiencing the siege of the Huns and fighting in the grass valley, Du Zan is very confident in Guo Jia's wisdom, don't look at him as small, just this brain, he will definitely be a demon when he grows up! If Kong Wenju is young, it may not be good, and he will definitely not be suitable for Guo Fengxiao in front of him. But thinking about the current mess in Wuyuan County, Du Zhan's mood can't be better...... It's always easy to destroy, but it's hard to build, so there's a lot of confusion, how can I do it?

Also faced with a choice, there was also Gao Ye, on the evening of the fourth day of the march, the sentinels of the vanguard finally discovered the Huns' camp. It was because of this that Gao Ye was called to Lu Bu's tent to discuss matters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the sentinels of our army's vanguard have discovered the camp of the Huns, and it is reported that there are about 5,000 people, who are lighting a fire and roasting meat. I want to wait for the night to fall and strike at it, what do you think? After hearing the scout's report, Lu Bu wanted to go for a surprise attack, after all, in his opinion, it would be easy for him to lead an army of eight thousand tigers and wolves to kill five thousand unprepared Huns.

"General, our army has 8,000 men and horses, and the enemy has only 5,000, and he is defenseless, and he will be able to win by attacking directly at night. The last general is the vanguard, and he should be the first to attack. Song Xian immediately said.

"Captain Song is not busy, your forward battalion is marching all the way, and the loss of military strength is too large, it is better to let me attack first." Hou Cheng immediately said.

Lu Bu saw that Gao Ye's face was colorful, and he couldn't help asking: "Mingxi, I see that your face is colorful, but if you have any plans, why don't you say it and listen to it?" ”

Mingxi arched his hand and said: "Actually, I think it's naturally good to attack at night." However, it is already twilight, and if you attack at night, you will definitely not have enough time to rest. Captain Song's forward battalion was at the forefront all the way, and the time for the rapid march was a little more than ours, and the lack of military strength was certain. In fact, we all marched for a whole day, and the sergeants were tired, and even if they win, they would not gain more than they lost. ”

After hearing this, Lu Bu's brows tightened. Gao Ye is right, they are all soldiers under his own command, and if they die in vain, it is always bad. I saw Gao Ye continue: "The family teacher once said, what is the purpose of the battle? It is to kill the enemy and save yourself. ”

As a Communist Party member in later generations, how could he not learn from Chairman Mao's "On Protracted War", which Chairman Mao mentioned in this article: "The purpose of the war of preserving oneself and destroying the enemy is the essence of war, and it is the basis of all war actions. This sentence can be said to be the simplest and most direct description and summary of the battle.

Therefore, after hearing this sentence, everyone nodded their heads, this sentence is very understandable, very direct, and most importantly it is very correct.

"Therefore, if we go to raid now, the casualties will be heavy. Since the Huns celebrated in the camp, they didn't think about it at all, and we would catch up later, so they felt that when they entered the grassland, there was no danger, and the robbery was also a bumper harvest, so they naturally had to celebrate. The sentinel came to report that the Huns were not more than twenty miles away from us, and we should rest here, only need to camp temporarily, and do not need to set up camp, and all the sergeants will eat some dry food and go to rest to recuperate. Just wait for the fourth watch, and we will wait for it. I think that the Huns are celebrating now, and after a while they will be full of wine and food, and they will surely sleep deeply. On the fourth watch, our army happened to be full of physical strength and regained its combat strength, but the Huns were in a dream, and at this time they were raiding suddenly, and they were tired of attacking with ease, and they were prepared to attack unprepared, and they would be able to win all. ”

After Gao Ye finished speaking, Lu Bu and the three of them were all happy, indeed, what Gao Ye said, it is much better to attack when it is almost dawn than to go for a while. Lu Bu nodded frequently, and then smiled: "Mingxi's words are very reasonable, do you still have objections?" ”

"The plan of the high lieutenant is really good, I will give an order to tell everyone to rest and prepare for a night attack." Song Xian said.

"Well, you all go down and make arrangements. The Huns have not yet discovered us, so naturally, if they can't find us all the time, they should tell all the sergeants to pay attention, and not to make a fire to cook at night, just eat more dry food to deal with it, and seize the time to rest. After Lu Bu finished speaking, he asked the generals to make arrangements.

Gao Ye has not slept in his own camp, but has been wiping his gold boring and vertical and horizontal sword, not because of anything else, but just the first time in battle, too nervous, Gao Ye chose to use this way to relieve the tension in his heart.

Suddenly, a person came in the big tent, it was Gao Shun. "Lieutenant, it's time to go."

"Well, let's go."

Gao Ye said, put on his helmet, hung up his sword, lifted the gilding and boring, and walked out of the camp with Gao Shun. I saw that all the soldiers had finished lining up and were waiting outside the tent. Not long after, a small colonel came and informed Gao Ye that Lu Bu gave the order to attack.

Gao Ye immediately took the men and horses of his headquarters and set off with the large army. All the way to the march, all the horses were picking bells, and everyone did not even say a word, not a single sneeze. Only to stay near the Xiongnu camp, Lu Bu gave an order, and then the whole army charged.

Gao Ye took the lead, and followed Lu Bu into the camp. The Huns in the camp were sleeping soundly, and they would have thought that the Han army would kill them. Even those who were not drunk, by the time they realized there were cavalry, it was too late. Gao Ye's horse was fast, and Lu Bu's horse was not slow, Gao Ye followed Lu Bu to kill together, followed by 8,000 people and horses.

The Xiongnu camp could only hear the shouts of the Han army for a while, but could not hear the sound of many Huns. Most of the Huns were in their sleep and died tragically under the knife. Hou Cheng Song Xian entered the camp, and even set fire in all directions, until Gao Ye killed from this end of the camp to that end, he heard the ghost crying wolf howl of the Huns.

A battle, until the fourth watch was killed until dawn, and the battle basically ended. Gao Ye was dressed in black armor and covered in blood, but compared to Lu Bu, it was far behind. The army had begun to clean up the battlefield, Lu Bu was overjoyed, and he laughed heroically when he saw Gao Ye. After Hou Cheng and Song Xian arrived, it was like a battlefield in hell, as if it had become a tea party.

"Hahahaha, General, we have a big victory this time! Just counted the battle damage, not a single one died, only a few dozen were slightly injured, but this group of Huns, all of them are estimated to die! Happy, happy! ”

"Yes, my old Song has fought all these years of fighting, and this battle is the happiest! Gao Gao, I used to hear the general say that you are excellent in martial arts, but I didn't expect that this war is also very good. ”

"Don't dare, I'm just on the battlefield for the first time, and there are still many things I don't understand, so I have to ask you for advice." Gao Ye said modestly.

"Okay Mingxi, what a little modesty. Your strategy is indeed good, and I always heard my father-in-law say that your Zongheng family is very knowledgeable, and it is really much better than us. ”

"Zonghengjia? Aren't the Zongheng family playing tricks, and will they still fight? Hou Cheng couldn't help asking.

"Speaking of which, the reason why my Zongheng family got its name is because of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, who combined the strategy of vertical and horizontal. In fact, before the two of them, my Zongheng family also produced talents like Sun Bin and Pang Juan, and the founder of the mountain, Guiguzi, was a master of the art of war. I have been studying with my teacher for nearly ten years, and the last time I was teased by the Huns under Wuyuan City, I was already a loss to my ancestors. ”

"Eh, even if I lost someone last time, I got it back this time, I killed him 5,000 people today, and I can still kill him 5,000 tomorrow!" Song Xian also smiled.

"Hmph, he Huns dare to come to fight Grass Valley, we will call him back this time! Although destroying 5,000 enemies is a great victory, it is not impossible to kill him for 5,000 more. Lu Bu sneered.

"Otherwise, our great victory today is really based on the enemy's unpreparedness, and after this battle, there will be one or two escapees, and I think that the Huns will soon know what we are doing on the steppe. Almost all the Huns are soldiers, and there are still many men and horses under the right king. I'm afraid that the right virtuous king will lead his division to come, and it will not be easy to do it at that time. Gao Ye changed his face from joy just now, and said solemnly.

"What are you afraid of, just a right virtuous king. With my 8,000 cavalry, he is 80,000 people, and I dare to let go and fight him! ”

"That's it, Mingxi, you don't know, we often fight with the Huns, and the Huns are not powerful, there are generals, and it is even more common to win more with less. Besides, the terrain on the prairie is open, even if King Youxian brings 100,000 horses, we can't beat it, so we turn around and go back to Wuyuan, all on horseback, he can still catch up! Song Xian said with a smile.

"In that case, please give the general an order, what should we do next?" Although Gao Ye didn't quite agree with this in his heart, there was no need to explain it at this time. Lu Bu and the others are all people who have been fighting all year round, and they think it's okay, and it's not a big problem to think about it. Besides, if you question it now, these people are condemned. On the battlefield, in fact, the most dangerous thing is not the vicious enemy, but the colleagues who have grievances and hatreds.

"The battlefield is almost cleaned, so let's leave. Hou Cheng, send someone to report to the governor Taishou and my father-in-law. High night, discharge scouts, and continue to inquire about the military situation. Song Xian, send some people to drive their cattle and sheep away, and it is only right that we have a full meal of roast sheep at night. Lu Bu said with a smile.

Eight thousand men and horses looted the dead bodies of the Huns and everything that could be worth some money around them, and then rode on war horses and left here. As for the corpses of the Huns, entering the belly of the wild wolf and finally turning into feces may be the only outcome.

The crowd marched slowly for a full thirty miles, and only then did they get rid of the strong smell of blood, and after camping on the spot, it was time for lunch, and for a time the smell of mutton filled the entire camp. After experiencing a battle, the distance between everyone and Gao Ye is obviously much closer, after all, the friendship between those who have been on the battlefield together is always deeper. Isn't it always rumored in later generations that among the four major irons, there is also a gun that has been carried together?

Gao Ye even cooked the lamb himself, roasted the mutton for the big guys, cut off a part with a knife from time to time, chewed it in his mouth, and cut off a large piece from time to time and handed it to the big head soldier next to him. Victory can bring joy, of course, and since victory is achieved, why not need joy?

However, Gao Ye has never forgotten the four words of happiness and sorrow, in order not to let himself become a typical teaching material for these four words, Gao Ye still sent some people to patrol around, and the sentry detective even released ten miles, lest he and the Huns last night end up with the same fate.

Of course, it wasn't just Gao Ye who did this, Lu Bu, Song Xian, and Hou CD released their scouts, and in the end, they were people who had been in battle for a long time, and they still didn't let go of their vigilance at all.

However, the Huns also gave face, and no Huns showed their faces on this day, and everyone was naturally happy to live in peace. In the following days, LΓΌ Bu led these men and horses to attack the six tribes of the Huns, each of which was slaughtered by the Han army. Although Gao Ye also felt a little cruel, but thinking about the people of Wuyuan, this pity would suddenly turn into anger.

After all, if I let these Huns go because I pity them, then who will pity and pity those Han people who died in vain?
