Chapter 438: The Third Bomb in Hexi (4)

In the night, outside the red water market, the black pressure is overwhelming, and it is full of Han military camps. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Cao Pengbing's red water collection did not follow the principle of 'soldiers are noble and fast', but slowly advanced. Along the way, he continued to recruit the Hongze tribe, and at the same time, he also took the initiative to eliminate several well-known horse thief and bandit groups in Hongze. It would have taken only a few days to arrive at Hongshuiji, but it took 18 days to walk. On November 28, Cao Peng's soldiers came to the city of Hongshui. The army marched all the way, showing no signs of exhaustion, and the soldiers were all in good spirits.

The eighteen-day march was undoubtedly a real exercise for this improvised Han army.

The soldiers practiced various tactics such as pursuit and attack.

In 18 days, a total of nearly 2,000 horse thieves and bandits were eliminated, which can be described as extraordinary results.

The slower Cao Peng walked, the greater the pressure on Hongze and Hongshuiji. When people's ears were full of news about how the Han army had eliminated bandits and horse thieves, many tribes with a wait-and-see attitude could no longer hold on. In eighteen days, a total of four Hongze tribes came to surrender. Coupled with the previous five, half of the tribes in Hongze have fallen into the hands of Cao Peng. Before Cao Peng conquered Hongshuiji, he had already gained nearly 20,000 people......

The effect of such a devastating march is self-evident.

When the Han army arrived at Hongshuiji, the gate of Hongshuiji was locked, and they did not dare to have a hard-to-face confrontation with Cao Peng.

Cao Peng was not in a hurry to attack, but rectified military discipline outside the city and manipulated men.

The rumbling war drums and the shouts of killing that shook the heavens echoed in the sky above Hongshuiji for three days, and the people living in Hongshuiji were all terrified. There are many people who even expect Cao Peng to attack the city quickly and end the battle as soon as possible.

However, the Han army did not move.

This is what Xu Shu called 'deterrence'!

Through the small red water set, it radiates the entire Hexi.

The lords of the tribes sent scouts one after another to closely monitor the movements of the Han army.

Although some tribes wanted to send troops to rescue Dou Lan, after seeing the appearance of the Han army, they shrank back one by one.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Father, it's almost!"

In the Hongshui Mansion, Dou Hu and Geng Jun rubbed their hands and danced their fists excitedly.

And Dou Lan was still frowning, looking hesitant.

"Uncle and nephew have been observing that the Cao family's children are not just trying to capture Hongshuiji, but want to deter Hexi. Their guards were very lax, and in the past few days, their uncle retreated and avoided fighting, which made the Cao family lose their vigilance. Brother Hu was right before, as long as he could defeat him for a while, he would make all the adults come to the rescue.

The nephew is willing to lead a group of men and horses, go out of the city tonight, and sneak attack the children's camp.

He is defenseless, and he must be alarmed. At that time, as long as he retreats backwards, his uncle will take the opportunity to cover up and kill, and Xiao'er will be defeated. ”

Geng Jun was eager to try, and kept poking and coaxing Dou Lan.

And Dou Hu also nodded again and again.

Taking advantage of Cao Peng's unstable foothold, the idea of stealing camps and robbing villages came from him. However, Cao Peng's military might was too strong at that time, so that Dou Lan did not dare to act rashly, and finally decided to avoid a fight, stick to Hongshuiji, wait for reinforcements, and wait for an opportunity to move.

But in Dou Hu's heart, the idea of stealing camps and robbing the village has never retreated.

With the Han army's bravado outside the city, the idea of stealing camps and robbing villages became clearer and clearer in Dou Hu's heart.

Stealing camps and robbing villages may not be able to defeat Cao Peng.

But as long as you can win a big victory, you can make the tribe adults watching the battle around you have a trace of hope. The Han army was not invincible! When the time comes, it will inevitably cause those tribesmen to hesitate, and maybe they will send troops to rescue Hongshuiji.

Dou Hu told Dou Lan more than once about this thought.

But Dou Lan never made up her mind.

If this is the case, there will be no place for him and the court to turn around. Even if Cao Peng is defeated this time, there will be retaliation from the imperial court in the future. When the time comes, the small red water set can really stop the imperial army? This station, which has inhabited for a hundred years, is afraid that it can only be discarded, and then drift around, like those Qianghu, nomadic in Hexi and Saishang.

This is not what Dou Lan wants.

He always hoped that one day he would be able to return to his homeland.

If he is really an enemy of Cao Peng, then this day may be far away.

"Uncle Li, he ...... Any news? ”

Geng Jun shook his head and said softly: "Uncle Li tried to send troops, but Deng Fan Mengjian of Fengming Beach ordered Han De's soldiers to go out thirty miles and camp in the north of the Li family's pastoral plain. Uncle Li didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only stand still. ”

Fengming Beach, Fengming Beach......

knew that if this Fengming Beach was lent out, it would become his elbow today, and Dou Lan would not let Deng Fan occupy Fengming Beach if he was killed.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

At that time, I was thinking that my family was facing integration, and the Northwest Muyuan also needed a guard.

Out of the perspective of exploitation, Dou Lan agreed that Cao Peng took over the captives of Xiu Tu, and allowed Deng Fan and others to gain a foothold in Fengmingtan.

Can be blinked in the blink of an eye......

Could it be that Cao Peng already had the determination to annex Hongze at that time?

Dou Lan is a spiriter for no reason, and at the same time, there is more or less warmth in her heart: at least, Li Qi has not abandoned himself!

"Father, can't hesitate any longer!" Seeing that Dou Lan didn't speak, Dou Hu was a little anxious, "The moon is dark tonight, and the camp can be robbed." In case that little boy reacts that day and wants to rob the camp again, it will not be so easy! Moreover, once the child starts a war, the red water collection may not be able to support it for too long...... Father, make a decision as soon as possible, and don't delay the fighter. ”

Let's just fight for this one!

Dou Lan clenched her fists and slammed it on the bookcase.

"In that case, I will give you two a thousand elite soldiers, and after the ugly hour tonight, go out of the city and rob the camp.

If there is something to be done, the war will be successful; If you can't do it, don't force it, quit quickly, and don't act rashly. ”

"The child (nephew) obeys!"

Dou Hu and Geng Jun rushed out of the flower hall and began to prepare.

But Dou Lan was a little uncertain, sitting alone in the flower hall, and after a long while, she looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At night, the red water gathering.

In the camp of the Han army, the lights are dotted, and at night, it looks particularly spectacular.

The majestic camp is like a sleeping beast, crawling on the grassland. The camp was quiet, and occasionally there were one or two sounds of fighting, faintly. The north wind, from across the Helan Mountains to the vast Hexi grassland, was wrapped in a trace of murderous atmosphere. Dou Hu shuddered, and subconsciously wrapped the robe on his body. He glanced at Geng Jun, and when he saw Geng Jun's excited face, he couldn't help but nodded. It's just that Dou Hu didn't notice that although Geng Jun said that he was excited, his hands and feet were trembling slightly, was he nervous or afraid? No one knows.

"Kaesong!"

With his order, the city gate silently opened a crack.

Dou Hu and Geng Jun each led 500 elite soldiers and quietly marched out of the city.

"Xiaojun, you are from the east, I am from the west, our soldiers are divided into two ways, and after they go in, they will go straight to the Chinese army Dazhai of the Cao family."

"Understood!"

Geng Jun nodded and led the troops away.

Dou Hu led a group of men and horses, taking advantage of the night, and quickly pounced on the Han army camp.

All the horses, the hooves of the horses were wrapped with grass so as not to make a noise. Getting closer and closer to the Han army camp, Dou Hu's mood became more and more excited, and at the same time, there was an indescribable nervousness that surged into his heart, making his body tremble slightly.

Taking off the nine-foot dragon bird ring from his horse, Dou Hu took a deep breath.

In the distance, the camp of the Han army camp is clearly visible.

Outside the camp, there were not even antlers or other obstacles, and it was empty, but you could see the situation in the camp at a glance.

There were no guards at the camp gates.

Presumably because the weather was too cold, I didn't take precautions.

And in the camp, there is not half a figure. The pot of oil lamps was in the empty space, and the reflection was very clear.

Getting closer......

Dou Hu suddenly raised his big knife and shouted: "Attack!" ”

As he spoke, he galloped toward the great camp. Behind him, five hundred cavalry troops followed closely, each with a large sword in hand, and his face was hideous. Like a gust of wind, it instantly rushed into the Han army camp, but this camp was like a dead man's graveyard, quiet, without the slightest reaction. It stands to reason that Dou Hu rushed over like this, at least he would wake up the guards. However, no one appeared, and the whole camp looked like an empty camp.

Dou Hu rushed to the camp, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

An ominous omen suddenly came to his heart, and he hurriedly reined in his horse and looked around.

"It's not good, it's a trick, there's an ambush!"

At this time, even a fool can see that something is not quite right. How can there be any reason why the Han army has no movement at all?

Dou Hu was just about to give the order to retreat, when he suddenly heard a shout of killing from the east.

Immediately after, a long horn sounded, and the empty camp seemed to have exploded, and countless Han troops seemed to emerge from the ground, pouring in from all directions. The gate of the big camp was quickly blocked by the Han army.

A general rushed out of the shadows.

I saw him in a silver helmet and silver armor, wearing a soapy robe. In the palm of his hand, there are two dragon scales, and a divine horse in his crotch is an abnormal white dragon horse in the night.

People are like tigers, Marseille dragons.

The silver-armored general rushed out and pointed his gun at Dou Hu, "Ignorant child, how can you come?" My military advisor has long expected that you will rob the camp, so today set up a net of heaven and earth, if you know the current affairs, why not get off the horse and tie up, so that you will not die. ”

A cold breath rushed to the top of the head.

Dou Hu's face changed drastically, and he looked around.

But he saw rows of archers hiding behind the camp, and the arrows were wound and aimed at them.

To the east of the Han army's camp, there were bursts of shouts and killings, which resounded throughout the world.

The Han general on the opposite side smiled, "Huangkou child, don't have illusions." Wen Qi is guarding the east, and your companion will not be able to escape. ”

Dou Hu's face was pale.

He wasn't afraid, he just felt a nervousness he had never felt before.

Looking around, he suddenly gritted his steel teeth, knocked his feet on the horse's belly, and the war horse neighed. Dou Hu slapped his horse and danced his knife, and rushed towards the Han general, "Sons, today's plan, only to die and kill me, kill ...... me"

Han Jiang showed a strange smile on his face, looked at Dou Hu who was rushing towards him, and secretly praised it in his heart.

This kid is a little rigid.

However, praise is praise, but he will not show mercy. The two feet knocked the flying tiger toad, and the crotch rushed out in the night. The scales of the two dragons in his hands trembled, dancing like a giant python, and pounced towards Dou Hu.
