Chapter 159: A Brilliant Plan
The previous chapter was supposed to be chapter 158, and it was written incorrectly......
In the long course of history, the Battle of Baitugang may have been so small that it did not need to be recorded in the history books.
However, in the history of the infantry, it is a milestone. The infantry used long soldiers and crossbows, relying on the terrain and topography to defeat the Hun cavalry, which was several times their own, so that this tactic, which should have appeared two or three hundred years later, could appear in advance.
If it is said that when Yongzhengyuan Liu Kan and Meng Tian clashed, this tactic was only a prototype, then in the battle of Baitugang, the long-term tactics have gradually been perfected. After all, there is a difference between the concept of real swords and real guns and the concept of martial arts in the school field.
From the beginning of the Hai period to the end of the Youshi period, Liu Kan used the combination of terrain and long-term tactics to completely defeat the attack of the Huns after three hours of fierce battles. Of the 3,000 Huns, more than a third were killed on the battlefield, and hundreds were captured, and the rest were scattered and fled. When night came, the valley was littered with corpses, and blood stained the black earth red.
The person in charge of cleaning up the battlefield was the young man who was transferred from Fuping to serve as a people's husband.
The corpse made countless people vomit, but their hearts were full of excitement.
On the Baitu Gang, Lu Shizhi, who had already woken up, looked at the generals sitting on both sides with envy, and kept muttering. Dead old man, isn't it just killing a left bone marquis, as for the propaganda all over the world?
And that dead butcher, if you kill someone, you will kill it, you get more than a dozen people to hang on their heads, and you are not afraid of frightening others? What a madman!
And at this time. The two subjects who were cursed were sitting in the military tent pushing cups and changing lamps.
Fan Xu's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he said with a big tongue: "Old Guan." See, Lao Tzu can kill eleven armor soldiers today. You do the math for me, if this is to be converted into military merit. What knighthood can I get? Eleven armorers, a whole eleven armorers. ”
The infant sneered disdainfully, "What is the ability to only kill some little minions?" Lao Tzu shot their landlord general with an arrow today, at least two military merits. Like you, who has been killed for a long time, all of them are ten captains. With only one centurion, how can he be as great as my military exploits? ”
According to the military system of the Huns, under Shan Yu, there are four corners such as King Zuoxian. And under the four corners, there are a series of military positions such as the left and right generals, the left and right captains, the left and right big guards, and the left and right bone marquis. Gudu Hou is basically equivalent to the general in the Qin system
Fan's black face twitched, and he cursed in his heart: Shit luck!
At this time. Liu Kan and Nan Rongxiu after pacifying the soldiers. Walked in from outside the tent.
Guan Ying and the others immediately stood up and intervened to salute Liu Kan.
Liu Kan nodded and sat down on the throne, "In today's battle, we won a big victory with fewer defeats, thanks to the hard work of all the monarchs. Kan didn't say much. Only to pay tribute to the gentlemen and drink wine to show gratitude...... Gentlemen. Please fill this cup with me. ”
"Thanks to the proper command of the military marquis!"
Infant Fan Xue and others raised their wine glasses one after another and drank them all.
But the smile on Liu Kan's face disappeared immediately.
"We won this battle, but we can't take it lightly. The tens of thousands of troops in the army of King Zuo Xian are expected to arrive in the early morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest, so from tomorrow, the various departments still need to step up the construction of fortifications, and they must be completed before the arrival of King Zuo Xian's army. ”
"Obey the orders of the Marquis!"
Liu Kan nodded and let out a sigh of relief.
"The military exploits made by various ministries, please inform Lu Shizhi. After returning to Fuping, I reported to Yiqu in front of someone...... Although we won this battle, we lost more than 100 people. From this, it can be seen that those Huns are not native chickens and dogs, and they need to be careful. Xiujunhou, you have to urge the people to speed up the progress tomorrow, and it is best to complete the repair of the ruins of Baitugang before noon.
After that, the people retreated to Fuping and assisted Cheng Sima and them in building the city wall.
The injured should be returned to Fuping together...... Ladies and gentlemen, I say this to tell you that today's battle is just the beginning, and the test we are waiting for is not over yet. We must rely on the fortifications of Baitugang and delay the Xiongnu army for three days before retreating. ”
The joy in the military tent was, of course, all at once. Three-day ......
Guan Ying and Fan Xu glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw a trace of heaviness. After retreating three days, how many people can leave Baitugang alive?
This is probably an answer that no one dares to guess.
On the second day, when the morning sun rose, at the entrance of the Baitugang Valley, three Jingguan were piled up.
The corpses were neatly stacked, and it was shocking to look at from a distance. However, all this did not affect the people who had perfected the fortifications. On the contrary, in this atmosphere full of blood, the motivation of the people is very high.
By noon, the last gap in the ruins was sealed with sandbags.
Liu Kan stood on the half of the city gate tower, raising his eyes and looking into the distance. The sun is shining brightly, and the sky is cloudless...... This was an excellent weather, but for Liu Kan, his heart was extremely heavy. In the first battle, he relied on the terrain to deal with the unsuspecting Hun forwards. But what will be the outcome of the second and third wars? He really couldn't imagine it.
"Liu Junhou, the people have been prepared and can be evacuated!"
Nan Rongxiu strode up to the gatehouse and said softly: "Otherwise, you should take them and leave, and you can also supervise in Fuping." ”
Liu Kan didn't answer, just glanced at Nan Rongxiu, who only reached his chin.
Regarding Nan Rongxiu's thoughts, Liu Kan can guess it. Perhaps in Nan Rongxiu's eyes, this Baitugang resistance battle is too dangerous.
"Xiujun Hou, if you guard Baitugang, how should you stop it?"
Nan Rongxiu was stunned, "Only to die and fight your ears!" ”
"What is a battle to the death?"
"Huh?"
Nan Rongxiu was stunned by Liu Kan's question. looked at Liu Kan in surprise, a little bit unsure what he meant by this?
"I was told before. The battle to the death is not to die, but to survive. The sergeants who are now in Baitugang can be said to be the main force in the future Battle of Fuping. If you don't have to. I would never want to fight the Huns to the death. To tell the truth, the death of one old Qin, ten, and a hundred Huns cannot make up for it. The reason why I want to stay here is to find a way for everyone to live, not to take them to death.
Rise from the ashes!
Xiujun Hou. At this point, you are not as good as me, so I am here to supervise the battle.
You have been defending Fuping for many years, and you must be more familiar with the local people than I am. There are some things that you have to do to figure out.
In war, you are not as good as me; But connections, I can't compare to you.
You and I need to do our best and try to do something for the thousands of people in Fuping. Finding a way to survive is. Do you understand what I mean? ”
Nam Young-so was stunned!
After being silent for a long time, he nodded, "Liu Junhou's meaning, Nan Rong has already understood. Please rest assured that Nan Rong will definitely do his best to assist the military marquis. However, please take care of the military marquis...... Network. Although Nanrong is stronger than the military marquis. But Fuping needs military marquis even more. ”
Liu Kan smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I was born with a nine-life cat, and I can't die!"
Nan Rong solemnly intervened and gave a military salute to Liu Kan, turned around and left in a hurry......
Standing on the tower of the city gate, Liu Kan watched the backs of Nan Rong and the others disappear on the horizon, and suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Marquis!"
Someone behind him called.
Liu Kan turned to look, but saw Fan Hao walking over.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised in my heart, "Tuzi, do you have something to do with me?" ”
To be honest, Liu Kan still has some bumps about Fan Xu. As for the reason, Liu Kan is not very clear. In short, Fan Xu is not his person, and he is always at ease. However, on the surface, Liu Kan still behaved very affectionately, calling Fan Hao the nickname.
Fan Xu walked up to Liu Kan's side, and after a moment of silence, "Only we are left!" ”
"Scared?"
Fan Xu's face turned red, shook his head and said, "What are you afraid of?" The eldest husband Ma Ge shrouded in corpse, so he didn't waste this life, but there were some words, I was like a fish in my throat, and I didn't vomit or be unhappy. ”
"I'm listening."
"In the past, it was impossible to say who was right and who was wrong. I know you don't like Brother Liu, and I know that you are very resentful of Mr. Xiao in your heart......"
Liu Kan waved his hand and interrupted Fan Xu's words.
"Tuzi, you are wrong. I've never resented anyone, but whoever is against me, I won't be merciful. You, Liu Ji, Xiao He...... Including Xiahou Ying and Zhou Bo, in fact, as far as I am concerned, before that incident, it can be said that there has been no intersection.
I don't like Liu Ji, not because he co-designed me with others, but because of his virtue.
To be honest, when I first came, even when we joined forces for the first time and fought against Wang Ling's gang of Jing Man, I had a very good impression of Liu Ji. Later, I did my business, and you also had your business, and there could be no conflict between the two. Tuzi, do you know who I admire the most in my life? What I admire the most is the kind of husband who stands majestically between heaven and earth.
Liu Ji...... Hehe, I still don't understand what you admire about him, and I don't want to.
Now that I'm in Loucang and you're in Peixian, it's hard to have any intersection between the two. Just one sentence, people don't offend me, I don't offend people. ”
Fan Xu didn't know what to say!
The Xiongnu army arrived outside the Baitugang Valley around the time of the Huns.
Zuoxian Wang Luan Ti Tu Qi had obviously received the news of Punu's defeat, and after arriving at Baitugang, he did not immediately launch an offensive.
He first ordered people to demolish all the Jingguan at the entrance of the valley and burn the corpses. For the Huns, there was no such thing as a burial place, but the corpse was burned so that the soul of the dead could return to the shaman.
He then ordered his army to approach the valley and set up camp at the bottom of the valley.
The camp of tens of thousands of horses can be said to cover the sky and the sun. Liu Kan led Fan Hao and Guan Ying to climb the city tower and look at the Huns under the hill.
"Hiss......"
Lu Shizhi couldn't help but gasp, "With so many Huns, how can we resist it?" ”
Liu Kan turned his head and glared at him, "Little pig, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will immediately behead you for the crime of shaking the morale of the army." ”
Lu Shiyi stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Guan Ying rubbed his head, "Junhou, the little pig shouldn't say this, but if they really want to attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop it for three days." ”
Liu Kan didn't answer, just quietly watched the Huns set up camp.
It should be said that this Zuo Xianwang does have some ability, and the place where the camp is set up is quite orderly. Judging from the position of the Huns, it was necessary to prepare for a fierce attack on Baitugang after dawn. Fifty thousand...... But by his side, there were only 500 soldiers.
Liu Kan himself has no bottom in his heart
As soon as the Xiongnu attacked, could it really resist the Huns with this simple repair of the fortifications on the white clay hill?
He raised his head and looked up at the sky.
But I saw that the clouds were thick and covered the bright moon. The low-hanging military flag of the old camp suddenly moved at this time, followed by the hula and cheer, and the horns of the flag flew and brushed past Liu Kan's face. Ha, it's really a dark moon killing night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire.
Wait!
In Liu Kan's mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed.
He held the battlements in his hands, squinted his eyes, and carefully observed the Hun camp in the valley, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Why is the marquis laughing?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, I just thought of an allusion."
Liu Kan gently rubbed his smooth chin, but said in his heart: Mr. Luo, I really want to thank you.
