Chapter 316: Li Guang Meritorious Service (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Liang Xiao ignored Huang Fuqi's complaints.
Huang Fuqi is a businessman, and he thinks about how to make money. He is a soldier, and he thinks about how to win this war with a huge disparity in power. Not to mention the property that was stolen from the Huns, as long as the Yueshi people were willing to send troops, he could even give them more money.
For the Yueshi people, the human bow is certainly a treasure, a kind of belief in the homeland. But the people of the Yue clan are also people, they have no property, no tangible benefits, why should they help you fight?
Faith alone cannot live.
"Shouldn't these Yueshi people be in Nanshan, how can they appear here?" Liang Xiao asked puzzled.
After the Yueshi people were defeated by the Huns, they were divided into two parts: one part moved westward and was called the Dayue clan, and the other part was reluctant to leave, so they relied on Baonan Mountain and mixed with the Qiang people, and were called the Xiaoyue clan. Ma Qi's department is a part of the Xiaoyue clan, their strength is limited, they are not the opponents of the Xiongnu, they should hide in Nanshan, that is, in the area of Qilian Mountain, and should not appear near Xingxing Mountain. This is already the northern part of the Hexi Corridor, deep into the hinterland of the Evil King.
Huang Fuqi smiled. "The Yue people are all wolves, they smelled the wind and came out to rob. Therefore, even if the adults don't give them a penny, they won't let the Huns go. ”
Liang Xiao suddenly realized. I see, that's a lot easier.
March and the others cried for a while, and then they contained their sadness. He returned the bow to Liang Xiao, invited Liang Xiao to take a seat, and asked about the origin of the bow. Liang Xiao took this opportunity to tell the story of shooting the father and son of the Evil King of Hun one after another, and then shooting the envoy of Wusun and seizing the human bow. March listened and was amazed. He had already seen Liang Xiao's archery skills with his own eyes. I thought it was already appalling. Now I heard that Liang Xiao dragged the evil old king to death with several horses. It's even more incredible.
"It turns out that the Evil King died like this, it's really providential." Ma Qi sighed with emotion and fell in front of Liang Xiao again. "The Evil King of Hun doesn't know how many Yue Clan people he has killed, we gnashed our teeth day and night, trying to kill him for revenge, but we have not been able to do so. Now that the adults have avenged us, we owe them a favor. ”
"The Huns are our common enemy, and we should join forces. Common against the enemy. Liang Xiao said: "Now that the Huns are marching westward, Hexi is empty, which is a good opportunity for you to take revenge." I don't know if the captain has any ideas. ”
Ma Qi laughed: "Don't hide it, I came here because we think the Huns are not right." At this time in previous years, there were Huns next to almost all Daze, but this year it was strange, and I haven't seen a few people. My lord, the Huns mobilized the army, and more than 100,000 people marched westward. But the adults have arrived here, if the Huns knew. I'm afraid I'm going to vomit blood. ”
"If I don't vomit enough blood, I'm going to cut their flesh. Hexi was originally the homeland of the Yue people, and they robbed it, and now, we will take it back. ”
"Good!" March slapped his thigh and praised loudly. When the generals heard this, their eyebrows also danced. They have been suppressed by the Huns for so many years, and they have long accumulated a stomach full of resentment, and now that they have the opportunity to retaliate, where will they let go. Even if you can't recapture your homeland, it's good to look for the bad luck of the Huns.
Everyone drank wine and ate meat, and at the same time had a heated discussion. Ma Qi swore that he could send people to inform all the tribes of Nanshan, including the Yueshi and the Qiang and Sai people, to go down the mountain to rob the Huns. A rough estimate should be 20,000 or 30,000. It's just that the various tribes are scattered and it takes a while to assemble, and most of the tribes are poorly equipped, so they still need to gnaw on the hard bones.
Liang Xiao agreed.
The next day, Ma Qi sent a large number of messengers to Nanshan, and he led more than 3,000 horsemen to kill east with Liang Xiao. Although the total number of horsemen was less than 4,000, they came suddenly, and the Huns were not prepared at all, and they were about to be routed at the first touch.
The Yue clan started to kill, and everywhere they went, blood flowed like a river. Liang Xiao only killed the young and strong, robbed the horses and supplies, but they wanted to rob everything. Not only did they kill the Huns cleanly, but even women, the elderly, and children were not spared. The old man was killed, and all the women and children were taken captive and used as slaves. They told the Huns what they did to them, and they were more ruthless and thorough.
After the Yueshi people charged into battle, Liang Xiao's pressure was greatly reduced. Most of the time, he just had to follow the Yue's people. Only when the Yueshi people encounter stubborn resistance will he lead his troops into battle, opening up the situation with powerful impact and precise archery. He became the winner or loser of the battle, and while winning the respect of the Yue people, he also gained a lot of wealth.
Stimulated by blood and interests, and supported by abundant war horse resources, they advanced eastward at a rate of one hundred and fifty to two hundred miles a day. As the battle progressed, deeper into Hexi, more and more Yueshi and Qiang people joined their team, gradually converging into an irresistible torrent, sweeping the Hexi Corridor, invincible.
The attacked Huns were powerless to resist, so they could only evade while sending the news to the army of the Western Expedition.
――
Although he took more than 200 remnants of the army, he rushed to the west side of the mountain pass day and night, and saw the king of the right valley who was cooperating with him, and reported the news that the tribe had been attacked.
The king of Yougu Li said that his grazing land was on the grassland on the north side of the desert, far away from the Hexi Corridor, and the tribal leaders who were close to the Hexi Corridor or were not within the Hexi Corridor at all were taken aback when they heard the news.
Liang Xiao is not in Dawan, is he still east of the Tianshan Mountains?
Soon, someone connected the messages received one after another and speculated about Liang Xiao's intentions. Now, they blew up the nest. Judging from the positions of these tribes that were attacked by Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao had been heading east, and his target was not the baggage troops in their rear, but their large rear.
The main force marched westward, and the rear was empty, which was the same situation for every tribe. Suddenly encountering this group of enemies with extremely strong combat effectiveness and speed that is not inferior to the Huns, the consequences are unimaginable.
The Huns have always been good at this kind of tactics of avoiding reality and virtuality, and they are also the most aware of the power of this tactic. They surrounded the king of the right valley and asked for the withdrawal of troops to help. The fortress of the Dawan people is strong, and no one is sure when it can be conquered, but the base camp is attacked, and the consequences are extremely terrible. Rushing back now, there is still a chance to stop Liang Xiao, recapture part of the population and livestock, and reduce losses.
When the king of the right valley saw this posture, he also panicked. If all these tribes are withdrawn, what is the use of him staying here alone?
While appeasing everyone, the King of the Right Valley sent the transfer to Suye City, reported to the King of the Right Age, and asked for instructions.
However, before the order of the Right Virtuous King arrived, some tribes withdrew their troops to support despite the obstruction of the Right Valley Liwang. Someone started, and the king of the right valley couldn't control it, and more and more people retreated, like birds and beasts.
――
Gushui, on the edge of the desert, the Han and Hungarian armies are fighting.
Li Guang galloped on his horse, the bowstring in his hand sounded continuously, sixty or seventy paces away, several Huns fell off their horses, and then were trampled by horses' hooves, screaming one after another, blood gurgling, staining the sand.
More Huns rushed over, shooting arrows and roaring: "Catch Li Guang, catch Li Guang." ”
Arrows rained down, Li Guang was hit by several arrows, fortunately, he had iron armor to protect his body, although he was covered in blood, he was not fatally injured, but became more and more courageous. But his mount could not hold it up, and his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground. Li Guang felt that something was wrong, so he jumped off the horse, rolled over, stood up, drew his bow and shot again.
The arrow feathers galloped, and several Huns fell to the ground with arrows.
Seeing Li Guang fall off the horse, Li Jiao shouted loudly: "Ah Kang, Ah Kang, go and save Ah Weng!" While shouting, he rode his horse and rushed towards the Huns. More than a dozen knights followed, swept in front of Li Guang, and met the Huns.
Li Dang rushed to the horse and shouted: "Ah Weng, get on the horse, get on the horse!" ”
Li Guang grabbed an empty saddle war horse, turned over and jumped up. "Arrows!" A guard rushed to his side and handed him a quiver. Li Guang tore off the empty quiver, threw it aside, put the new quiver on his back, and rushed again. The strings sounded sharply, and several Hun knights fell from their horses with arrows.
Seeing this, the Huns' morale plummeted, and they did not dare to fight again, so they turned their horses and retreated, and began to flee.
Li Guang ordered the pursuit. The heralds beat the drums of war, and the soldiers of the Han army reorganized their formation and chased the dead to the north.
At sunset, they chased after Hutu Ze and stopped.
Li Guang turned over and dismounted, walked to Daze, squatted down, picked up a handful of water, and rubbed his hands. The cool water poured on his face, melting away the congealed blood and meandering down his beard.
"Happy, happy." Li Guang stood up, crossed his hands on his waist, looked at Daze, who was illuminated red by the setting sun, and let out a long breath.
"Ah Weng, I made a lot of money this time." Li Jiao, who led the pursuit of his troops, rushed over, and before he got off the horse, he couldn't suppress his excitement and laughed. "Ong, do you know who we caught?"
Li Guang glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "What big man can be, isn't it just a few Hun dogs, is it necessary to be so happy?" ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. There is no need to count, he also knows that he has gained a lot this time. Probably because the Han army rarely took the initiative to attack, the Huns were too arrogant, as if they were not defended, he and the three thousand Longyou disciples led by him almost did not encounter effective resistance, and they killed the hinterland of the Hutu King in one go, and won thousands of ranks.
"Ah Weng, I captured the Yan clan and the prince of King Hutu, as well as nearly a hundred nobles of all sizes." Li Jiao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "Aweng, we've done a great job."
Li Guang was stunned for a moment: "Really? ”
"Of course it's true." Li Jiao beckoned and asked a few captives to come over. One was a woman of about fifty years of age, although her hair was slanted, her clothes were extremely gorgeous, and although her eyes were a little panicked, the anger on her face was undiminished. Another young woman followed, frightened, holding a boy of five or six years old.
"Father, this is King Hutu's clan, and this is King Hutu's youngest son."
Li Guang looked at these captives in a daze, and after a moment, he looked up to the sky and laughed. "The sky does not live up to me Li Guang." ――
