In the early morning, the morning sun peeks out over the eastern horizon, and there is not a single cloud in the blue sky! What you can expect is another sunny and warm day today! It's perfect for setting fires!

The warm sunshine in winter drove away the cold of the night and woke Li You from his sleep! Lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent, squinting slightly, and after getting used to the sunlight outside, he raised his eyes to look west! Ha, it seems that your Kunlun God has not blessed you! At this moment, the grassland has been shrouded in the light of the sun god Donghuang Taiyi, who is worshiped by the Han people!

"Lord, today is windy and cloudless, and it is a good weather to burn the enemy's grain and grass!" As a general, you must not know astronomy and geography, and Chen Qingzhi also saw that there will be no snow today! He said, pointing to the flag fluttering in the wind on the top of the tent.

"Today, General Lao Ziyun will guard the camp!" Chen Qingzhi's physical exertion in the past few days has been too great, and he has not fully recovered, and this time they are not facing a regular army, and there is no need for him to go out, so Li You left him in the camp to continue to rest, and he and Pan Feng were in charge of the battle command.

Seventy or eighty veterans who had been tested by the fire of war and had rich experience and high morale, coupled with a peerless general like Pan Feng, Chen Qingzhi had no doubt that they would be able to win, so he calmly accepted Li You's suggestion and said, "So Qingzhi is here to arrange for them to start the fire and cook, and wait for the lord's triumphant return soon!" ”

"Summons, all the troops! Eat now and pack up dry food! Bring torches! Leave in a quarter of an hour! "This is the first time since Li You came to the Han Dynasty to fight without Chen Qingzhi's guidance, and he is inevitably apprehensive; But when he saw those Han soldiers with high morale, the uneasiness in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his confidence overflowed, how could he not even defeat some herdsmen with such a strong army?

Xu Yannian and his comrades-in-arms didn't see the panic of the battle at all, they devoured the food in a big gulp, and said all kinds of jokes indifferently! It seems that what is about to start is not a big war, but as easy as when they went to those merchants in Chang'an City to collect protection money from those who have no background.

If you think about it carefully, you have to be careful not to let the people of the Tingwei Mansion catch the protection money in Chang'an City, and now the young men of those tribes have gone out! There will be little hindrance to their trip.

After hurriedly eating the meal, stuffing two pieces of dun cakes for lunch (that is, the current Shaanxi pot helmet, the dry food carried by the Qin army on the march that year), packed up the swords and torches, and a famous soldier under the leadership of the commander and the chief of the army went to the horse and lined up, just waiting for Li You's order they would bring destruction and despair to those Huns.

"In this battle, don't get entangled with the enemy too much! Remember, it's the burning of the enemy's hay that matters most! "For fear that they would get carried away with the joy of killing, Li You didn't forget to tell before leaving.

"Envoy Decree! Don't get entangled with the enemy, burn hay! More than seventy Han soldiers shouted at the same time.

"Check the armor, the sword, and the torch!" Li You stood in front of the team and looked over one by one, and there was a sound of screaming in the team, and in an instant, calm was restored, and more than seventy pairs of eyes full of longing for war looked at Li You in unison.

"Good! This is my good man! Li You pulled out his long sword from his waist and pointed forward, "Sons, follow me to crusade against the Huns!" ”

Everyone responded in unison, and the hooves of more than 150 horses hammered the ground heavily, running in the direction of the Xiongnu tribe, raising countless dust

"Envoy, there are still ten miles ahead of you where that small tribe is!" Father Tangyi hurriedly whipped two whips to catch up with Li You and said, This is the tribe with more than 400 people but not many young and strong!

"Stop!" Li You waved his hand to stop moving forward, stretched out his hand to feel the direction of the wind, "Rest for a quarter of an hour to accumulate horsepower!" Then make a detour to the west and attack the ministry from the northwest! "It's a northwest wind blowing now, and if you want to set fire, it's perfect to go in from the upwind outlet!

The Han soldiers turned over and dismounted, took out water bags and horse material from the cloth bags next to the saddle to feed the horses, and then checked their torches, fire sickles and other things for the last time, and finally sat down to rest, drink water and eat dry food. The whole process was completed in silence, no one spoke, the movements were swift and calm, and the attitude of the elite soldiers was undoubted.

If they can return to Chang'an, the worst people here can be a hundred generals, who can see that they were still wandering rangers in the market a month ago? Sure enough, the battlefield is the best school for soldiers! I just don't know how many people will be lucky enough to return to Chang'an in the end?

After a quarter of an hour, they stood up in silence, turned on their horses, and followed Li You in a great circle to the northwest of the tribe; This happens to be the top of a small hill, and the tents of this tribe are scattered at the bottom of the hillside, which is more conducive to the cavalry to charge, and today's luck is really good!

"Pan Feng, you lead twenty people to attack from the left and burn down the tents in the middle! Father, lead twenty men to attack from the right side, break the fence of their stables, and drive out all the cattle, sheep and horses! The rest of the people followed me in the middle and burned down the haystacks! All soldiers, light the fire! Li You took out the torches and leaned on the torches of the others to light them, and in an instant, more than seventy torches lit up almost at the same time.

Looking around and seeing that everyone was ready, Li You shouted, "Think about our hard battles these days, think about your burned houses!" Today's time for revenge has come! Follow me to burn the hay and tents of these Huns! Let them also taste the taste of freezing to death and starvation! ”

After that, Li You rushed down first, and behind him were more than 30 soldiers under his command! And Pan Feng and Tang Yi's father also took their respective men and horses to cross an arc, diagonally inserting into the left and right ribs of the tribe.

"What is this sound? Aren't they back? Unaware of the imminent death, this small Hun tribe ran out of the tent in high spirits, expecting to see their loved ones! Who expected that what caught their eyes was the cavalry of the Han Chinese!

There was no need to draw a sword, but the force of the horses was enough to knock the unprepared Huns apart, and the greased-soaked torches flew towards the mountain of haystacks!

The fire borrowed the wind, the wind helped the fire, and in the blink of an eye, these haystacks turned into raging fire, and the flames devoured the haystacks that were related to the lifeblood of the Huns, and devoured the tents they relied on to shelter from the cold, and countless cattle, sheep and horses were scurrying around in the smoke of the fire! The whole tribe was plunged into great chaos and despair.
