Chapter 239: The Battle of Western Liao

"You ........." Lu Lingqi never expected Cao Pi to treat herself who had just made a great contribution like this, although she really didn't take this achievement to heart, but she obviously wanted to help Cao Pi against the enemy, but the other party didn't appreciate it, which made her feel very angry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I have ordered Yu Ban to quickly build a thunderbolt, there is no need to delay for a day at all, only need to delay for two or three hours, besides, the Wuhuan people are coming from the whole clan, if they don't wait for the Yuan clan to lead the troops to rush into battle, wouldn't it be a loss of their own strength, but if the strength is reversed, the Yuan clan's strength is on top, what profit is there for the Wuhuan people? The probability of them charging into battle is not high, and there is no need to take such a risk. Cao Pi said indifferently.

Lu Lingqi looked at Cao Pi and said coldly: "This is what you thought of, right?" Besides, it wouldn't be better for the Wuhuan people Qihu to go south now, and there was a good opportunity for you to defeat Wuhuan and the Yuan clan one by one. ”

Cao Pi shook his head and said: "Break the Wuhuan, the Yuan clan will not come again after receiving the message, my biggest enemy is not the Wuhuan who can only ride horses and hunt, but the Yuan clan who is guided by the art of strategy, and the more than 100,000 northern clans who follow them, if such a force goes to Liaodong or enters any foreign race in the north, it can rise again, the Yuan family is one of the four generations and three dukes, even though Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi are far inferior to the ancestors, but in the barbarian land, their limited way of governing the country will make the foolish people talk, I don't want to face a brave and orderly alien race. ”

Lu Lingqi was speechless for a moment, and walked out of the big tent silently, although he didn't say anything back to Youbeiping, but Cao Pi believed that she would not go into battle again, because that would make Xiahou Shang innocent and punished, although Lu Lingqi was rude and willful, but she was not an innocent person.

It was already night when the Cao army camp was set up, and although the trench was dug up, the antlers placed on the outside were demolished by the scouts of Wuhuan after each placement, which made Cao Pi even more sure that they would inevitably storm the camp by cavalry tomorrow.

The gate of the camp was wide enough for eight horses to walk side by side without urgency, and the planks built on the trench were so wide, and there was a large open space behind the gate for the tigers and leopards to assemble so that they could rush out of the gate as quickly as possible.

Behind the open space where the tiger and leopard riders had assembled were twenty-two taels of thunderbolts, and beside the thunderbolts were clay pots, each of which was guarded by three people.

The wall of the camp built by Cao Pi is a two-layer fence, and the thick wall of the middle is filled with earth and stone, and a wooden board is also set up above the earth and stone, so the wall can be used for people to stand, but the place where the wall stands is not for the soldiers guarding the wall, because Cao Pi has decided to solve the battle outside, this wall is for the heralds, as long as the herald standing on the wall waves the flag, the thunderbolt in the camp will throw lime, and when the flag is changed, it will throw water jugs.

It was night, the Wuhuan camp on the opposite side was blazing, Yan Rou told Cao Pi that it was the heroic spirit they were sacrificing to Wuyan, and the Wuhuan people liked to use burial, but before that, there should be the deceased to sit in the old ring, two of them recited incantations, killed a fat dog and the horse that the deceased rode before his death, burned his clothes and costumes, and sent each other off with singing, dancing and crying. The reason for killing the dog is that according to legend, the dog can protect the deceased and the gods return to the Red Mountain, so that they will not be blocked by ghosts on the way. This red mountain should be the place where the Wuhuan people started, and Cao Pi believes that it is in the Great Xing'an Mountains in the northeast of later generations.

Looking at the opposite side of the sky-high fire, Cao Pi said to the generals around him: "I'm afraid tomorrow will be a vicious battle, although the other party is really sacrificing, but our army can not have the slightest carry, tonight the sentry tower must arrange someone to monitor the enemy's situation, in addition to the tiger and leopard cavalry can rest, Cambridge, Yicao engaged in two battalions of sergeants to wait for the day, in case the enemy army sneak attack in the middle of the night." Niu Jin Zhang Nan immediately responded.

After giving the military order, Cao Pi returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and came to rest on the marching couch equipped by the commander, it was night, he slept in armor, although it was a little uncomfortable, but he still fell asleep, after dawn the next day, Xiahou Shang woke Cao Pi, saying that there was an abnormality in the military camp opposite.

Cao Pi got up and found that the tiger and leopard riders were already waiting in the open space in the camp, and at this time there was a sound of drums from the camp of the Wuhuan people opposite, perhaps because their drum material was different from that of the Han people, and the sound of the drums was dull and majestic, just like the oppression of the mountains and mountains in the north.

Yu Ban personally stood on the side of the thunderbolt at this time, Niu Jin and Zhang Nan's sergeants were on both sides, and the sergeants of Ji Yong, Yan Rou, and Gao Shun were armed one after another and stood in the camp waiting for their orders.

Cao Xiu rode his horse to Cao Pi's side and said; "Before the meal time, the enemy began to beat drums and howl, presumably to pull out the village."

Cao Pi glanced at the herald standing on the wall, and said, "If there is no wind for a few days, Wuhuan will be defeated." ”

Cao Xiu didn't have much confidence in Cao Pi's lime, but it was inconvenient to say anything more at the moment, so he just said: "Zhou Mu, this battle tiger and leopard ride will definitely retreat!" If there are Hu people camping after all, please keep the camp tightly. ”

Cao Pi nodded silently. At this time, the sergeant on the watchtower shouted: "The enemy is out of camp!" ”

At this time, the sky has appeared fish belly white, the first rays of morning glow descended on the earth, Cao Pi climbed the wall, only to see a cavalry rushing out of the Wuhuan camp black pressure, these knights are carrying a bag, Yan Rou beside him said: "These animal skin bags contain earth and stones, which can be used to fill the trench." ”

Cao Pi smiled: "If there is a moat, these bags are useless. ”

Yan Rou said: "The nomads are brave and good at fighting, but it is difficult for them to penetrate into the Han Dynasty, because I have a lot of strong cities in the Han Dynasty, and they cannot break the city with their siege method. ”

Cao Pi nodded and said no more, but returned to the camp, standing behind the tiger and leopard horseman. By this time, the drumming of the Wuhuan people had stopped, and was replaced by the deafening sound of horses' hooves and the deafening shouts.

The momentum of the galloping horses was even across a wall, Cao Pi could clearly feel that at this time, the small pebbles under his feet jumped uncontrollably, the sound of hooves and shouts became louder and louder, and the mount of the tiger and leopard riding in front of him was neighing uneasily...........

At this moment, the herald on the wall raised the chess pieces and shook them a few times, and then the sound of the thunderbolt machine was heard in the rumbling horses' hooves, and twenty lime jars were catapulted into the air, drawing an arc and falling into the distance, followed by a series of machine sounds, and the lime jars continued to fly out, Cao Pi couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and stepped on the wall again, he wanted to see the effect of this lime.
