Chapter Ninety-Three: The Horned Army Who Knows Dark Witchcraft
Zhong Yu and Liu Xun have not been found yet, I don't know if they are alive or dead, but fortunately, except for the two of them, after a battle, the Fujiao Army did not have any casualties, which is already a miracle, in the era of cold weapons, it is almost impossible to achieve zero casualties, and Li Qin thinks that he has no ability, he can only grope step by step to lead the troops, but he can't do it against the sky, he can't do it overnight!
While the army was marching, Li Qin was thinking, the next step must be a regular battle, hand-to-hand combat is unavoidable, and the number of Hun soldiers far exceeds his own Fujiao army, so how can he try his best to reduce casualties, bring most of the soldiers back, and gain valuable combat experience, these are what he must think about clearly!
I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of a specific method, it is estimated that even if Sun Wu is reborn, he can only kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 self-losses, but for him, no matter how much he kills the enemy, he can't stand it, the current Fujiao Army is his seed soldiers, and one less is a huge loss for the future, and it is difficult to bear!
Li Qin called Jia Xu and said, "Brother-in-law, if we retreat now, what will be the consequences?" I already know the consequences, I just want to hear your opinion, do we want to go together! ”
Jia Xu was also thinking about these questions, and when he heard Li Qin's question, he said: "If we retreat at this time, the morale of our army will definitely be seriously hit, and if we encounter similar battles in the future, if we want to let the soldiers fight to the death, I am afraid that it will not be possible." We are now a horse into the middle of the road, we can't retreat, we can only enter! ”
Li Qin nodded, and asked again: "What will happen when you arrive at the county seat, and how should you deal with it?" ”
Jia Xu frowned and said, "The way to deal with it, have you already thought of it, or have you not thought of it, and you have to listen to my opinion?" "He doesn't like to be judged.
Li Qin said: "I thought about several situations, but I can't be sure, and now my thoughts are in a mess, and it's up to you to solve them!" ”
Jia Xu nodded, thought about it, and said: "In fact, the current war is not good for us, due to the relationship between the county seats, we are almost led by the nose of the Hun soldiers, they are the ones who want to fight, and they can leave if they want to, and let's not talk about the people who rescued the Bin, even retreating is a problem!" ”
"Of course I know that!" Li Qin sighed. It seems that the Huns lost the first battle, but in fact, the initiative lies with others, on the whole, the Huns still have the upper hand, while the Fujiao army is in the downwind, in danger.
Jia Xu said: "It's not to see how we are, but to see how the generals of the Huns are." If he leads his troops back and waits for the large army to come up, then we can talk about everything, whether we go into the city to rest and recuperate, or retreat to Fuping, it will not damage our reputation and morale. I'm afraid that the enemy will be stationed under the city, then there will be big trouble, the county commander will not dare to open the city gate to take us in, and even dare not go out of the city to support, then we can only face this Hun army alone, we may not be able to win, if we retreat they will chase, we will be finished directly, and the Hun army will come up, we are still directly finished! ”
Li Qin heaved and said: "It's a dead end, it's all the end of it, it's over after retreating now, it's still over in the past!" ”
Jia Xu sighed and said: "In the art of war, the best way at this time should be to use Wei Wei to save Zhao, let this Hun army retreat by itself, and become our pursuit, but ......"
Li Qin let out a long sigh and said, "Where are you going, where are you going?" ”
At this time, Wu Danzi came over, he had always been by Li Qin's side, but Li Qin and Jia Xu were talking, he didn't dare to come over and interject, seeing that the two sighed at the same time, obviously in a predicament, he dared to squeak.
Wu Danzi said: "Li Lang, my subordinates just wanted to understand something, I don't know if it will help you?" ”
Li Qin sighed, turned his head and said: "You are the leader of the scouts, opinions are very important, what do you understand, let's hear it!" ”
Wu Danzi said: "Just now, my subordinates rushed over with the Marquis of Dianjun, and fifty people rushed over two thousand, but there was a big accident......
He said what happened just now, and said: "The subordinates can understand the Xiongnu language, and also understand some of the Huns' surnames, I can't think too much about it in the battle, but after I retreat, I think about it, the person who ran away seems to be a wizard, he only shouted that the Fujiao army is coming, and he didn't shout anything else, but the Hun soldiers in the rear team fled with him, this thing is very strange!" ”
After listening to him, Jia Xu took a sigh and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Listen to you, that wizard thinks you're a monster! What terrible thing did you do to make him think you were a monster? ”
Wu Danzi thought for a while, and said: "It's that the Marquis of Dian Jun lost someone, and he ......" and said Dian Wei's feat, he was used to seeing Dian Wei's toughness, and it had become a habit, now that I think about it, the Hun soldiers have never seen it, maybe it's because of this incident, so he treats him as a monster!
Li Qin and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and the two laughed at the same time, there are wizards in the Hun soldiers, and they believe in all strange things, there is a lot to be used for!
In terms of faith, the Huns believed in all witchcraft, and in the war, the superstition of the Hun generals could be described as appalling, such as the wizard threw a few bones, and said that if you want to defeat the Han soldiers, you don't need people to go to the battlefield, as long as you throw the corpses of livestock on the road, you can defeat the Han army, and as a result, the Huns really threw the corpses of livestock everywhere, and the Han army was really defeated, so the Huns firmly believed that witchcraft was omnipotent!
"When the Han army came, the Huns made the witch bury the sheep and cattle out of the road and water to curse the army." This is the real history. Of course, this is a tactic of using the carcasses of livestock to spread diseases to the Han army, but the background is that the shaman used "witchcraft", but regardless of the cause and effect, the status of the shaman in the hearts of the Huns is very high, there is no doubt about it.
Jia Xu smiled: "That wizard was scared away, he will definitely not admit that he is afraid, but will say that we can also do witchcraft, so that his face can be saved, otherwise he will be finished!" ”
Li Qin also smiled and said, "Then, you have to make good use of this!" ”
As soon as I thought of how to deal with it, I felt comfortable, and it was better to say it than to sigh.
By the time the Fujiao Army arrived at Lianxian County, it was already dark. Looking at the city, the lights are bright, all the soldiers of Lian County are in the city, and there are countless strong men, although they can't see the specifics, but they can guess it, they are all nervously guarding, afraid that the Huns will attack the city in the middle of the night!
And looking into the distance, I saw countless bonfires on the flat land of the grassland, extending far away. More than 2,000 Hun soldiers, plus the prisoners they brought, was not a small number, and the fire of the Huns was not concentrated, except for the place where the prisoners were kept, the Huns were spread out as much as possible, making the camp very large.
Li Qin only glanced at the city, then went to see the camp of the Hun soldiers, and he said: "Do the Hun soldiers always go down the camp like this?" If the camp is so big, if there is a night battle, it will not be easy to gather! ”
Wu Danzi said: "They usually don't go down to camp like this, only when they face a strong enemy, they will go down to camp like this, in order to retreat quickly, for fear that retreating in the middle of the night will cause chaos, in case of chaos, it will be bad for their own people to cut their own people." The battalion of their Huns is much more terrible than that of our Han soldiers, and often the people of each small department take the opportunity to cut indiscriminately, and those who are officials especially die quickly! ”
Jia Xu said: "This shows that they are afraid of us and treat us as strong enemies." Many people have the disease of being blindfolded, and they can't see anything at night, and there are not many people who get this disease, but one out of a hundred, and it will be very fatal, and it can cause a roar and make everyone chaotic. ”
Li Qin sighed, thinking: "The blindfold is night blindness, but this disease can be prevented by eating animal liver, the Huns should not lack this kind of thing, so it may be a close marriage relationship?" ”
There are many reasons, but what kind of it is, Li Qin is not doing medical research now, as long as he knows the results, he doesn't care why. But it is true that the Hun soldiers and the Han soldiers rarely fought at night, and they were all afraid of the roar of the camp, which is also true!
Li Qin called Wu Danzi, and ordered it like this, so and so, and Wu Danzi immediately led the cavalry and secretly approached the camp of the Huns.
Li Qin passed down the order, not to raise fire, to camp on the edge of the city, rest on the spot, do not bury the pot to cook, only eat dry food and chew dry meat, all soldiers are not allowed to make a sound, keep silent.
In the distance, the Huns found that the Fujiao army had arrived, Liu Shiyi and Gebo Wu climbed a newly erected wooden shelf, looked at the city wall, but saw nothing, only knew that there was an army over there, and there were quite a few people, just from the vibration on the ground, you can know that there were at least five or six hundred cavalry, and the number of infantry is unknown.
Liu Shiyi said: "It's really weird, why don't they light torches and camp in the dark?" I think they should not only light torches, but also more of them, so that they can pretend to have a lot of soldiers to confuse us! ”
Gebu Wu analyzed very dutifully: "It must be the wizard in their army who wants to do it, can't see the light, it must be witchcraft related to darkness, very evil!" ”
"Witchcraft used in the dark? It's too sinister, it's too evil. Liu Shiyi turned his head and said: "Originally, I thought that this Fujiao army was just taking advantage of our defenselessness, but after you say so, it seems that this is an evil army, and the general who led the army could not be a demon who eats people's brains!" ”
Gebwu said solemnly: "Very likely! ”
The more he talked, the more frightened he became, Liu Shiyi only felt a chill in his spine, and as he spoke, even he himself became afraid, thinking of those terrifying witchcraft, he actually trembled and began to scare himself!
Li Qin didn't know that he was defined by the Huns as a demon who eats people's brains, he set up the army, rode his horse and ran to the city, to talk to the county commander of Lian County!
