Chapter 162: The Drums Beat in the Middle of the Night
The fire in Baitugang burned until dawn. {First Reading}
Most of the valley was charred black, and the Huns suffered numerous casualties. Especially at dawn, the wind suddenly increases, which also makes the fire wilder. The Huns and war horses were burned to death, and there were countless of them. In the sound of the golden drum, the Hun army did not know how many people were stealing the camp and robbing the village, although there were Tu Qi desperately returning, but the general trend has gone, and it can only retreat thirty miles.
Fortunately, this fire forced Liu Kan to lead his troops to withdraw.
If they don't retreat, the 100-digit will be confessed to the fire.
Again, as the old saying goes, wars are fought to survive, not to die. To get such a result was beyond Liu Kan's expectations. So he led his troops back to the white clay hill, and after counting, none of the 150 people were left behind, and only a dozen people were burned by the fire when they retreated. However, the injury was not very serious, and it can be said that he escaped with his whole body and won a big victory.
By midday, the fire had finally stopped.
The valley was littered with charred corpses, and the Huns lost thousands of men and more than 20% of their horses.
It's still a small thing!
The Xiongnu were nomadic people, and the last thing they lacked was horses.
The problem is that Liu Kan's fire burned out the baggage of the Huns. In particular, the ladders and other equipment used in the siege were all burned in the fire. You must know that the Huns were not good at attacking fortifications, and the equipment was burned, which can be said to be worse.
Tu Qi counted the soldiers and horses, but he wanted to cry without tears.
Before even the shadow of the enemy could be seen, 50,000 men were broken into two......
Of the thirty-one commanders, thirteen died, and the centurions and tensons were fifty. If you add the earlier Punu, before the war began, most of the officers had already been lost. Looking at the listless appearance of the generals under his command, Tu Qi went crazy!
"Attack. Give me an attack! ”
He rode on his horse, waved his arms, and shouted frantically: "Within one day, take Baitugang for me, and I will break that Qin barbarian into ten thousand pieces." ”
"King, calm down!"
Several generals grabbed Tu Qi, "We are waiting for the weight to be destroyed, and there is only less than three days of grain and grass left in the army." The land of the white soil hill. There is no need to worry, but if we do not prepare military rations as soon as possible, we will be in danger of running out of food when we arrive in Fuping in three days, and we should not be careless. ”
"So what do you say?"
Tu Qi finally hadn't completely collapsed, and after calming down, he asked with a pant.
"It is imperative that we immediately urge the delivery of food...... Qin Manzi is cunning, and after winning two battles in a row, his morale will definitely rise. If we attack at this time. I'm afraid that there will be heavy losses. Even if you take Baitugang, there is still Fuping...... Can the king guarantee that Fuping can conquer it in one fell swoop? The small Baitugang has already made us lose our troops, not to mention Fuping County, I am afraid it will be even more difficult......
Or, do we report the bill? ”
Tu Qi was furious when he heard this, "No! ”
As for why not. He knew it very well. If Touman knew about his situation here, he would have enough reason to remove him from the title of King Zuoxian. You must know that the sons under Touman's knees are now eyeing each other, waiting for the throne.
"Give the order to go down, camp outside the valley, and wait for the food and grass to arrive, and then attack."
The generals immediately received the order in unison and went down to make arrangements.
Tu Qi led his own soldiers. Stand beyond the charred river valley. Raise your eyes and look in the direction of Baitugang. Faintly, on the dilapidated gatehouse, you can see the figure shaking. He knew that that Qin Manzi must be looking at him at this moment, just like him.
"Qin Manzi, I will definitely break your body into ten thousand pieces!"
Tu Qi couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar. But this heart. But it's a panic!
How many soldiers and horses will I lose in this small white soil hill?
Tu Qi's guess was right. Liu Kan was standing on the tower of the city gate, looking at the Hun battle flag that covered the sky and the sun outside the river valley.
In the camp under the city, the cheers were endless.
To tell the truth, when the Huns arrived at Baitugang yesterday, everyone was scared. After all, what they had to face was dozens of times their Xiongnu elite cavalry. If you say that you are not worried, you are not afraid, it is pure nonsense, but I didn't expect them to win a big victory!
"The military marquis is clever, and he is really clever!"
Guan Ying couldn't help but sigh beside Liu Kan and said: "In the face of such a situation, I actually took the initiative to attack, Guan Ying really took it, I took it!" ”
Beside him, Fan Xu danced more excitedly.
"Lao Guan, I killed three thousand commanders yesterday, three thousand commanders!"
"Get out!"
Guan Ying did not attack with Liu Kan, but only supervised his subordinates to beat drums and cheer. Even, even Lu Shizhi led the archers to the scenery, and now seeing Fan Xu's proud appearance, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
It's really shit luck that he killed three thousand commanders......
As everyone knows, when he killed Pu Nudi two days ago, it was not much better than Fan Xu's arrogance.
Lu Shizhi didn't speak, but stood behind Liu Kan with admiration and looked at Liu Kan's back.
My brother is first-class as a businessman, and he doesn't lose to others as an official...... Even when he marches and fights, he is no worse than others, hehe, this is my brother Lu Shizhi. {First reading} After going home, I was able to brag about it...... Wait, I seem to have shot a couple of Huns yesterday as well.
I don't know if there are any Commanders and the like!
Hehe, it's also a military feat......
Thinking of this, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.
Liu Kan turned his head, looked at the excited guys behind him, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Don't be happy, it's only the first day."
Last night's fire, although there were some results, but the Huns were not injured.
It seems that they will not be dispatched today, but that does not mean that they will not attack tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. As soon as the Huns attacked, it must have been extremely crazy. With this small white clay hill, it is not easy for us to stop them for two days and then evacuate safely. ”
Babies and Fan Xu smiled on their faces. Suddenly disappeared.
Two people, you look at me, I look at you, and my heart feels heavy...... The joy of the previous victory vanished in an instant.
Lu Shizhi couldn't help but say: "Junhou, you are always so disappointed.
The last time we annihilated the advance of the Huns, you said that after the arrival of the Huns, there would be danger; Now that we have repelled the Huns, you say they will fight back. Look at everyone. How happy, how happy? God will know what will happen tomorrow. Why don't you let everyone live happily for a day, and at least be happy when you really lose your life, why are you always so anxious? ”
Liu Kan couldn't help but turn his head in surprise and looked up and down at Lu Shi.
That little pig seems to have started to grow up......
At least among so many people, he was able to speak out. And, to speak, these words. There really is some truth to it.
couldn't help but stretch out his hand and press it on Lu Shizhi's head, rubbing his head fiercely.
"Piggy is right, I'm really too anxious!"
"Don't call me Piggy......"
Lu Shizhi said dissatisfiedly: "My name is Lu Shizhi, and I have grown up. ”
Fan Xu next to him hugged Lu Shidi's neck and said with a smile: "Really? The little pig has grown up, and I think it's ready to go under the knife! ”
Lu Shizhi's face suddenly turned red.
Liu Kan and Guan Ying couldn't help laughing.
This is a fan. But a serious dog slaughtering background, these few words are really a little interesting.
"Baby!"
Liu Kan smiled and turned his head, focusing on the Hun camp in the distance again. After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "I'll give you a task." ”
"The Marquis commands!"
"Thou shalt lead a hundred golden drummers up the cliff in the evening round the city wall. Remember, hide in the jungle and don't show your tracks.
When it gets dark, you beat the golden drum.
When the Huns sent out their troops, you immediately died down. There must be no more movement; Wait until they're all asleep. You just keep beating the drum and waving the flag. Remember not to attack, only to beat drums and wave flags...... Also, no matter how critical my situation here is, I am not allowed to return without a military order. ”
The baby was stunned and looked at Liu Kan in surprise.
He didn't understand the meaning of such an action.
But out of trust in Liu Kandi. He still did not hesitate to intervene. Promise to come down. "Release!"
"Whoa!"
"You go and take out the wounded war horses that were collected some time ago, and give them to the baby...... Don't ask me what I'm going to do. I'm useful. ”
Lu Shizhi nodded hurriedly and led a few relatives to hurry down.
Liu Kan held the battlements of the city wall with his hands, looked at the Hun camp in the distance, and suddenly laughed.
Fan Xu couldn't help but ask, "Junhou, what tricks are you going to play?" ”
"Hehe, you'll be clear then!"
Liu Kan smiled but did not answer, and ordered the guards to strengthen the surveillance of the Xiongnu camp, and then walked to the camp under the city tower with his arms around Fan Xu's neck.
No matter how vengeful Tu Qi is, he also knows that the current situation is not suitable for war.
simply ordered someone to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and then arranged for the corporal to bury the pot and cook for a good rest. Right now, it doesn't matter whether the evil Han lives or dies! The important thing is how to save this situation and capture Fuping quickly, otherwise this will be a big trouble.
After dark, Tu Qi took off his armor and collapsed in the military tent, wanting to rest well.
The Hun soldiers were also exhausted. After dinner, they went back to their tents to rest, but the guards were very tight.
In the camp, there are soldiers patrolling from time to time, and the sound of fighting echoes in the sky.
By midnight, Tu Qi fell asleep in a daze.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of the golden drum, and Tu Qi Lingling shuddered, and got up from the couch with a shout, "Enemy attack? Is it an enemy attack? ”
Yesterday's fire made Tu Qi a frightened bird.
The soldiers ran in and said in horror: "King, the enemy is attacking, is it an enemy attack?" ”
"Put my armor on my armor and prepare my horses...... Pass the order, and the three armies are ready to fight! ”
In an instant, drums beat loudly in the Hun camp. The Hun soldiers, who had just fallen asleep, ran out of their tents one by one in embarrassment.
The horse who pulls the horse, carries the bow and arrows.
When Tu Qi rushed out of the camp in a neat cloak, the sound of the golden drum disappeared......
"Where is Qin Manzi? Where is Qin Manzi? ”
Tu Qi turned over and jumped like thunder.
But he saw a commander on horseback, "My lord, there is no trace of the enemy." ”
"Bastard, if there is no trace of the enemy, how can there be the sound of golden drums? The three armies were ordered to be on alert, and those Qin barbarians were very cunning, and they couldn't say when they would appear. ”
So, in the Hun camp, the whole army was on guard and checked the camp.
On the opposite side of the white soil hill, the Qin army did not move, and in the camp, except for a few litters of earth rats, not even a single figure was seen.
"Mother, scare me?"
Tu Qi finally relented and ordered the soldiers to disband.
He returned to the tent, and after removing his armor, he had just laid down before he could close his eyes. The sound of golden drums sounded outside again, which frightened Tu Qi to get up again, put on his armor, and after a long toss, he didn't see half a figure.
So over and over again, from the time of the child to the time of the sun.
The Huns were so dizzy from tossing that they couldn't rest at all. Tu Qi sat in the military tent exhausted, scolding non-stop.
"This Qin barbarian is really hateful, what kind of tricks are he playing?"
He didn't take off his armor at all, leaned back on the couch, and half-squinted his eyes.
"Give me orders, and all the men and horses should sleep. Qin Manzi was only bluffing, and he would never dare to run to his death...... Sleep, sleep! ”
After Tu Qi conveyed the order, he held the long sword in his arms and fell asleep again in a daze!
When the hour came, the golden drum sounded again. But this time, there was no movement in the entire Hun camp.
Tu Qi held the iron sword and cursed in his heart: I just ignore you, see how long you can knock!
Spread the quilt on his head and ignore the sound of the golden drum.
But at this moment, I heard the Huns shouting loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack...... Qin Manzi has killed, killed! ”
