Chapter 1346: It Can't Be That Alone
Xu Chu led two thousand Han troops out of the woods.
After walking through the jungle for more than ten days, the soldiers of the Han army all felt full of depression.
Out of the forest, the two thousand Han soldiers breathed in the air outside the forest one by one with a full face of enjoyment.
The air in the jungle is also very fresh, but the humidity in the forest is very heavy, and the soldiers feel that the sweat is difficult to volatilize when walking through the jungle, and the whole body is uncomfortable.
Out of the forest, the wind swept over the soldiers, and suddenly made them feel refreshed one by one, and they would feel relaxed and happy.
Leading the two thousand Han troops out of the forest, Xu Chu did not take them far away, but set up camp just more than a hundred steps away from the jungle, waiting for the arrival of the barbarians.
The Han army left the forest, and their tracks were quickly grasped by the barbarians.
Leading the army to advance in the direction of the Han army out of the forest, as she was marching, Mrs. Zhurong saw a fast horse running ahead.
The barbarian on horseback came to her, turned over and jumped to the ground, made a barbarian salute to her, and said, "Mrs. Qiyu, the Han people have come out of the forest, and General Jinhuan has already led people to meet her." ”
"How many Han Chinese?" Hearing that the Han army had left the jungle, Mrs. Zhurong hurriedly asked.
"Two or three thousand!" After thinking for a while, the barbarian soldier said to Mrs. Zhurong: "I have explored the forest, but we have not found any trace of the Han army!" ”
Hearing that only two or three thousand people had left the forest, Mrs. Zhurong frowned and muttered to herself, "How can there be so few Han people?" Could it be that most of them are lost in the forest? ”
As soon as this thought arose, Mrs. Zhurong shook her head again and rejected the answer in her heart.
Although the jungle was more than 100 miles deep, and there were many deadly stores in the forest, she absolutely did not believe that most of the Han army would be lost in such a forest.
"The Han people must have a backhand!" After a moment of silence, she said to the barbarian soldier who reported the news: "Inform Jinhuan Sanjie that he can only lead the army to confront the Han people, and he is categorically not allowed to fight lightly!" ”
"Order!" In response, the barbarian turned around and left, conveying Mrs. Zhurong's order.
The leader walked in the front, and when he learned that the Han army had left the jungle, Jinhuan Sanjie gently clamped his legs on the horse's belly, greeted the army that followed behind, and rode his horse in the direction where the Han army was stationed.
Seeing the array of the Han army from a distance, Jinhuan Sanjie was about to order the whole army to fight, and the barbarian soldiers who got the order from Mrs. Zhurong rode their horses to chase after them.
"General Jinhuan!" Seeing that he was about to catch up with the three knots of the golden ring, the barbarian soldier shouted loudly, but the war horse under his crotch did not stop the horse's hooves at all.
Rushing to the third knot of Jinhuan, the barbarian soldier saluted him with both hands and said to him: "General Jinhuan, Madame has an order, not to fight with the Han army!" ”
Mrs. Zhurong gave an order not to fight with the Han army, Jinhuan Sanjie looked at the barbarian soldier with a surprised face and said: "The Han army is in front of you, they are scarce, we only need a rush to kill, we can wipe them all out!" Why did Madame order that we should not be allowed to fight? ”
Riding on horseback, maintaining a bowed posture, the barbarian said to the Golden Ring Sanjie: "Madame did not explain the reason, but ordered the general not to fight with the Han people!" ”
Ring-eyed staring, the gaze of the golden ring and the three knots stayed on the brute for a long time.
Being stared at by him, the brute soldier only felt uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to avoid his gaze, so he had to face him hard.
"Go ahead!" After a long while, the golden ring three knots waved their hands at the brute soldier, and said in a very unkind tone: "Tell Madame, if you don't fight with the Han people!" ”
The soldiers rode away in response, but the three knots of the golden ring turned their faces to the direction of the Han army's formation.
The Han army was not large, only more than 2,000 people, but behind him there were tens of thousands of barbarians.
He had fought with the Han army earlier, and the Golden Ring Sanjie also knew that the Han army was strong and could fight 10,000 against 2,000, but he still had a few points of certainty of winning.
What's more, there are dozens of war elephants in his ranks, and there is not even a single war elephant in the array of the Han army.
Attacking the main formation of the Han army with war elephants, and then covering the whole army, the three knots of the golden ring have a seventy or eighty percent certainty that they can defeat the Han army in one fell swoop.
Staring at the Han army array, he was indignant that Mrs. Zhurong would not allow him to lead the army to come forward to fight, and the golden ring three knots suddenly found that a person rushed out of the Han army array.
The man who rushed out of the horse had a broadsword in his hand, and when he was only thirty or forty paces away from the barbarian array, he stopped and raised the broadsword flatly, pointing the blade at tens of thousands of barbarians.
Pingping was not the one else who was holding the big knife, it was Xu Chu who led the young Han army out of the forest first.
Raising his knife and pointing at tens of thousands of barbarians, Xu Chu didn't even say anything, but his eyes were very sharp.
Seeing Xu Chu walking out of the Han army array, Jinhuan Sanjie frowned, and his legs were clamped towards the horse's belly, and he wanted to fight against him.
He was just about to urge the war horse to step forward, when several barbarian leaders on the side hurriedly grabbed his reins, and one of them shouted to him: "The general leads the army to kill the Han people, and you must not be impulsive!" If the general has three strengths and two shortcomings, how can we explain to my wife? ”
The reins were pulled by several barbarian leaders, and the golden ring and three knots twisted their heads to look at them, their faces were iron-blue.
But he also knew that the barbarian leaders were right.
He vaguely recognized that the general of the Han army who raised his big sword and pointed at them was Xu Chu, who led 3,000 soldiers and horses to fight against 30,000 barbarian soldiers that day.
Xu Chu is brave, and the three knots of the golden ring were seen with his own eyes that day.
Although the barbarians did not have war elephants that day, under the impact of the Han army's war elephants, they were finally defeated, but Xu Chu rushed to and fro among the barbarians, as if entering a no-man's land, it still made the Golden Ring Three Knots still fresh in his memory.
In the face of Xu Chu, the three knots of the golden ring really have no certainty of victory.
Being dragged by several barbarian leaders to hold the reins, the golden ring three knots did not insist on stepping forward, but glared angrily at Xu Chu who raised his knife in the distance and pointed at him.
Ping Ping held the big knife, waited for a while, and saw that no one in the barbarian array came out to fight, Xu Chu put down the knife, turned around the war horse, and laughed a few times while looking up, while riding his horse towards the Han army array.
His laughter was loud and insolent, and when he heard his wild laughter, he felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and his legs were clamped towards the horse's belly, and the horse was about to rush forward.
As soon as the golden ring three knots made a move, several barbarian leaders who were dragging the reins of his war horse hurriedly pulled the reins tightly, and shouted one by one: "General, no!" ”
Glancing down at the barbarian leaders, Jin Huan Sanjie raised his hand and pointed at Xu Chu with a face full of resentment, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighed heavily.
Seeing that the Han army was arrayed not very far from them, Jinhuan Sanjie wanted to step forward to fight, but because of Mrs. Zhurong's order, he didn't dare to make a mistake lightly.
The two teams, which were not very large in number, confronted each other, and were staring at the array of the Han army, when a barbarian leader ran to the side of the Golden Ring Sanjie, put his right hand on his chest, bowed to him and said, "Madame is leading the army, and it has arrived!" ”
Hearing that Mrs. Zhurong had arrived, Jinhuan Sanjie glanced back, and sure enough, he saw that behind the team he led, there was a barbarian with no end in sight.
Seeing countless barbarians walking towards him, Jinhuan Sanjie turned around his horse, and took a few barbarian leaders who accompanied him to meet Mrs. Zhurong.
Leading the army and following the team of the Golden Ring Three Knots, Mrs. Zhurong did not march very fast.
As she led the group forward, she turned her head to look at the jungle on the side.
The jungle was quiet, and there was no sign of the Han army at all.
His eyes stayed on the verdant forest, but Mrs. Zhurong's face was solemn.
She didn't believe that the Han army would all be lost in the mountains and forests, at least not to the point that twenty or thirty thousand people entered the forest, but only two or three thousand people walked out!
As he was walking forward, the Golden Ring Three Knots came up to him.
"How many men and horses are there in the Han army?" The golden ring had just saluted her, and before he could speak, Mrs. Zhurong had already asked a question first.
"About two thousand." It had been a while since the confrontation with the Han army, and Jinhuan Sanjie thought for a while before responding to Mrs. Zhurong's question.
"Are there war elephants?" As soon as the three knots of the golden ring fell, Mrs. Zhu Rong continued to ask.
After thinking for a while, Jinhuan Sanjie responded: "Mrs. Qiyu, I haven't seen any war elephants in the Han army!" ”
"War elephants grow in the south and often shuttle through the jungle, even if the Han army war elephants grow up in the north, they are still alive by nature, how can they die in the rainforest lightly?" Turning her head to look at the jungle on the side, Mrs. Zhurong said: "In the jungle, there must be a Han army!" ”
Also turning his head to look at the jungle that was not very far away from them, Jinhuan Sanjie said: "I said a long time ago that I would set the forest on fire, but Madame was unwilling, and now that the Han people have come out of the rainforest, Madame is still in the entanglement forest to leave an ambush. Why don't you go to the edge of the forest, light a fire, and see how long the Han people can hide! ”
"If General Jinhuan wants my and other dead clans to be exterminated, go and light a fire!" Liu frowned, and Mrs. Zhurong said to Jinhuan Sanjie: "The general only needs to lead the troops to beware of the Han army in front, and as for the ambush in the forest, I will deal with it!" ”
Mrs. Zhurong insisted on not lighting the fire, and in desperation, Jinhuan Sanjie had no choice but to make a barbarian salute to her, turn around the war horse, and return to the place where his headquarters soldiers and horses were with a few accompanying barbarian leaders.
Turning her head to look at the jungle, Mrs. Zhurong waved her hand and shouted behind her: "Come on, set up a sentry on the edge of the forest!" Beware of the Han army's sudden ......"
Just as he was giving the barbarian an order to beware of the sudden killing of the Han army, a whistle suddenly came from the side of the road, and with the whistle sounded, thousands of Han soldiers armed with strong crossbows rushed out of the forest.
The Han army rushed out of the woods, with strong crossbows at their heads, and almost without even aiming, they shot a powerful feathered arrow at the barbarians.
