It didn't take much effort for Xie Guanglong to capture two Hun scouts and know Yu Dan's identity.

"The prince of the Huns?" Liang Xiao was a little inexplicably excited when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"No, it's much more valuable than Fox Lugu." Xie Guanglong wiped his mouth with joy. From the moment he caught the scout and interrogated the news, he never closed his mouth, and smiled so much that he looked a little obscene.

"Hehe, Lao Xie, can you be more reserved?" Before he finished speaking, Liang Xiao laughed first. He himself understands how much benefit he has if he can kill the Xiongnu prince, even if the Son of Heaven is stingy, he must give him a thousand households.

Of course, the more practical problem is that it may be able to delay Shan Yu and add a little time for Li Guang and Han Anguo to prepare. Whether it's offensive or defensive, they need time to adjust. In the face of the menacing main force of the Huns, no matter who it is, the pressure will not be small.

Liang Xiao raised his clairvoyance again and observed the Huns in the valley. "Lao Xie, you take some people to the front and see where is suitable for an ambush."

Xie Guanglong responded excitedly and turned around.

Liang Xiao lay on the ground, motionless, and waited until more than 10,000 Huns passed in front of him, and then he quietly retreated.

In the second half of the night, there was a scout report, and the main force of the Xiongnu led by the military minister Shan Yu himself was thirty miles after being single.

Liang Xiao groaned for a long time and laughed silently. It seems that the military minister Shan Yu is also a human being, and he cares about his cub fiercely. Not only to help the horse, but also to give it a ride. This is both a good thing and a nuisance. The good thing is that if you can really kill Yu Dan, Shan Yu will be crazy nine times out of ten. The trouble is that Shan Yu is following too closely. The time window is too small. Thirty miles. For the cavalry, it was not needed for half an hour. Almost at any time.

What's more, there are 10,000 elite horsemen around Yu Shan, and if he really wants to attack, he doesn't know who will do whom.

Liang Xiao thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any good way, he wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, so he simply sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and practiced.

When Liang Xiao opened his eyes again. Sunlight came in through the cracks in the tent, illuminating the grass three feet in front of the seat, and also illuminating Liang Xiao's eyes. Liang Xiao was quiet, stood up, and walked out of the big tent slowly.

The smoke curled in the valley, the soldiers were making breakfast, gathered in groups, some moving their bodies, some chatting and farting, everything seemed so peaceful. It's so peaceful, and you don't feel the cruelty of war at all.

Hurried footsteps rang out. Liang Xiao raised his head and looked at the two scouts who were hurrying over.

"Your Excellency."

"Where's the information?"

"Osawa." Scouts are concise and clear. "40,000 Huns besieged General Cheng's camp and suffered heavy casualties." The scout paused for a moment, and then praised it from the bottom of his heart: "General Cheng's camp is simply an iron wall, and the Huns are bleeding from their heads. The Aries royal army has been completely crippled and has withdrawn from the battlefield. ”

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Buzhi withstood the attack of the Huns, which is good news. Not only was King Youxian dragged by him, but even Xiongnu Shan Yu had to consider the back road, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. If Cheng Buzhi cut off the back road, his life will not be easy.

However, Cheng Buzhi couldn't delay for long. They came from afar, carrying a limited amount of baggage, especially a shortage of arrows. Without a powerful bow and crossbow, the combat power of the Han army will be greatly reduced, and it is likely to be a slaughter at that time.

Liang Xiao's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly pulled the scout over and asked, "Is there a large number of cattle and sheep near Daze?" ”

The scout was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?" ”

Liang Xiao's eyebrows raised. He crooked his mouth and laughed silently. He knew why Shan Yu left 40,000 people to deal with Cheng Buzhi, instead of sending the Right Xian Wang to go around the process without knowing it, and went straight into the jam.

He asked the Right Hyun King to be the head of his rear team, responsible for the safety of the baggage. With an army of 70,000 or 80,000 and more than 100,000 horses, the cattle, sheep, grain and grass needed are not a small amount. The marching speed of cattle and sheep is limited, it is impossible to keep up with the marching speed of the main force, they can only lag behind, and someone must guard them.

Of course, Shan Yu knew that the cavalry of the Han army was limited, so he was not worried about being robbed of food by the Han army. I'm afraid that even Cheng Buzhi's appearance here was not in his expectation. Now Cheng Buzhi and his army of 20,000 are like a bone, stuck in his throat, and he can't go up or down, so he can only divide the army into two, leaving King Youxian to monitor Cheng Buzhi.

Cheng doesn't know how to come from afar, isn't the Right Sage King? His baggage team should have been left behind, perhaps on its way.

Compared to these lagging baggage, Yu Shan is nothing.

Liang Xiao knew that his midnight meditation was not wasted, and he finally discovered the weakness of the Huns.

"The whole army is assembled and ready to go."

——

"Knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock knock ......" The low sound of war drums echoed over the battlefield.

The Huns stared at the blood-red eyes and slowly retreated, and the corpses in front of the camp were in disarray, and blood was all over the ground. After three days of fierce fighting, nearly 10,000 Huns fell in a pool of blood, and the corpses were too late to clean up, and King Youxian did not plan to clean up, so he wanted the Han army in the camp to watch these corpses rot, stink, and not sleep at night.

Decomposing corpses can not only cause a plague, but also make people feel the threat of death.

The Right Sage King raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, but his face was as gloomy as the bottomless Daze. He was in a bad mood. Cheng Buzhi's tenacity was beyond his imagination. He now finally understood the sinister intentions of the military minister Shan Yu, which was simply a trap.

The right Xiongnu did not have much contact with the Han people, so many years, most of the attacks launched from the right Xiongnu were responsible for the King of Hutu, the King of Aries and the King of Lou Fu, and the main task of his right king was the Qiang people of Hexi and the people of the Western Regions, how to fight against the Han people, especially the camp of the Han people, he was very unfamiliar.

His only experience was the Daban Fortress. There, he sent nearly 10,000 people from the Western Regions to Li Danghu's knife.

Now, it was the real Hun warriors who died in front of Cheng Buzhi, and in three days, nearly 10,000 people fell in a pool of blood, and the Aries King was almost wiped out, and he had to withdraw from the battlefield in advance.

Compared with the big camp that Cheng didn't know, the Daban fortress guarded by Li Danghu was almost not worth mentioning. The battalion that Cheng didn't know was the real iron wall, and it didn't leave the Huns a chance at all. As soon as he thought of the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun, the ears of the Right Xian King would think of the desperate wails of the Hun warriors.

In front of the Han army's arrow array, the Huns' riding shields were not used at all. I can protect it, but I can't protect it.

For the big shield of the Han army, the Huns' riding bow has no power at all, and the range of sixty or seventy steps cannot threaten the Han army at all, and the cover of the arrow array has become a chicken rib. The Huns could only brave the rain of arrows of the Han army, and the vast majority of them fell halfway down the road before they could touch the Han barracks.

"Go back to the camp and stop fighting." The Right Virtuous King said in a muffled voice, turned his horse's head, and declared a truce. He had already hit his head and bled out, and if it weren't for Shan Yu's way back and ensuring the supply of grain and grass, he would have been eager to go back to his pasture. Seeing no hope of victory, no spoils to win in battle, he was not interested at all.

He was laid out in a single place. As soon as he thought of this, King Youxian became even more annoyed. He thought of Yu Dan and couldn't help but sneer secretly. If you play me, I won't play you? I have to send a letter to Zuoxian Wang Yi Zhixi, and tell him to be careful, don't be inexplicably topped by Yu Shan.

——

In the Han army camp, countless soldiers gasped for breath, eager to sit on the ground.

A herald rushed over, loudly conveying Cheng Buzhi's order. "Don't rest, immediately repair the barracks, and prepare for another battle."

The soldiers were accustomed to Cheng Buzhi's style, and knew that they could not rest without repairing the damaged barracks, so they had to drag their heavy footsteps and continue to work, secretly greeting a few relatives who did not know Cheng.

There was an indescribable oppression in the camp.

Cheng Buzhi sat on the command platform of the Chinese army and didn't want to move. Although he did not attend the battle in person, the continuous days of fighting also put him under great pressure. The time agreed with Li Guang was approaching, but he didn't dare to hold out a little hope. The 40,000 troops of the Xiongnu Shan Yu had already marched eastward, and no matter how good Li Guang was, it was impossible to defeat the Xiongnu Shan Yu and come to support him.

He is now on his own.

Although Liang Xiao is a hundred miles away, he can't count on it now. In front of thirty or forty thousand Huns, what is the use of three thousand horsemen?

After all, Liang Xiao is a human, not a god.

"General, there is not much food, one meal a day, and it can support three days." Changshi Chen Anping walked over quickly and handed over a list. "The biggest problem is the arrows, with the current attack intensity, they can support up to two days."

Cheng Buzhi took the list, glanced at it, and put it down silently. In fact, he doesn't need to look at the list, he also has an account in his heart, and he knows how much money he may have. He didn't march normally to this point, and he didn't have much baggage, so it was not easy to support it until now.

There is only one way in front of him, and he takes the initiative to retreat while he is still short of food and arrows, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

It's just that in this way, Li Guang is dangerous, and Liang Xiao is even more dangerous. It is also possible for Li Guang to join Han Anguo, go directly through the stone barrier, and return to the Sainei, but Liang Xiao was blocked by 70,000 or 80,000 Huns, and he had to make a detour of more than 1,000 miles to retreat, and his life hung by a thread.

What to do? If Liang Xiao died in battle because of this, would the Son of Heaven be furious?

Just when Cheng Buzhi was in a dilemma, Liang Xiao's messenger rushed to Cheng Buzhi's camp and delivered a military report with only two sentences. After reading the military report, Cheng Buzhi laughed silently.

"This kid, really smart, is this time going to create a miracle again?"

Chen Anping took the military newspaper and glanced at it, a little worried. "General, the baggage of seventy or eighty thousand people, the Huns will definitely send heavy troops to guard it, Liang Xiao only has three thousand horsemen, can he succeed?"

Cheng Buzhi stroked his beard and glanced at Chen Anping. "If it were someone else, I would have no faith like you. But who is he? He is Liang Xiao, the person who once tossed the right virtuous king anxious. Not to mention anything else, as long as King Youxian knows that he is nearby, I am afraid that he will not even be able to sleep well. ”

As he spoke, Cheng Buzhi, who had never been harsh and smiling, laughed, and the sadness between his eyebrows was swept away.

Chen Anping thought about it and couldn't help laughing-
