Chapter 118: Suspicious
Chapter 118 is full of suspicions
All the soldiers looked back, only to see the knight turn over and dismount, run from the avenue in the middle of the queue to Xiao Mowei and kneel in front of him, panting sharply, and said in a dumb voice: "General, the northeast...... A large number of Hu troops were found in the northeast, which may be the main force of the Hu army! ”
Xiao Mowei frowned and said, "How many people are there?" ”
"It's too far away to see really, but ...... But looking at the dust and smoke that it brought up, and listening to the sound of horses' hooves from afar, there may be no less than 100,000 horsemen. ”
"100,000 rides?! Could it be that the main force of the Hu army really appeared? Xiao Mowei muttered, turned his head to the overseer camp next to him and said, "Write down his staff first and suspend the execution." ”
"Five thousand six hundred and eighty-eight times, stop, and write down the remaining twenty-four thousand three hundred and twelve times for the time being." The Governor shouted to the soldiers who were executing there.
The soldier gasped and stopped, Li He turned his neck expressionlessly, made a series of clicking sounds, and groaned: "It's so cool." Then he put on his jacket, put on his armor one by one, put on his helmet, turned his head and said to the soldier next to him who was panting with a scepter: "Are you tired from fighting?" ”
The two of them were asked by Li Heyi, and they were so frightened that their legs went weak and they sat down on the ground, looking at him in a daze, their eyes full of fear.
Li He smiled slightly, he didn't do anything, just like people don't want to trample ants to death because they are trampled on by ants. He could easily pinch an ant to death, but he didn't bother to do it.
Li He jumped directly from the three-zhang high torture platform, and made a deep footprint on the ground with his feet, causing all the soldiers to exclaim. Anyway, it has already revealed something good, so it is better to expose it more thoroughly, so that they can fear themselves, fear themselves, and worship themselves, this is what Li He thinks at this time.
Li He walked in front of Xiao Mowei and saluted: "The last general and the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion are invited to fight, please let the Tiger Battalion attack, so as to prove to the general whether the Tiger Battalion is a tiger or not!" ”
Zhang Qi also immediately stepped out and said: "The last general is willing to lead the vanguard army to meet the enemy!" ”
Several other generals also asked for their lives, wanting to fight to the death with the Hu people.
Xiao Mowei glanced at Li He and said: "The strength of the Hu army is unknown, the movement is not clear, the scouts are probing again, closing the door and guarding it, without my order, you must not attack." This will repair a letter to the first and second route armies, and when the three route armies are gathered, they will encircle and annihilate the main force of the Hu army, so that they will not be able to escape! ”
When the generals saw him say this, they had to bow their heads and receive the command.
Li He narrowed his eyes, followed the generals, and returned to the Tiger Camp.
As soon as You Bi saw the general coming back, he immediately stepped forward and said with concern: "General, is your back okay?" ”
Li He smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "That kind of broken thing, what can I do?" ”
Yang Jin smiled: "The general is really invincible and can't be killed!" ”
Gu looked at it and said: "The general's great kindness to us, I will not forget it, my Gu Kang's life will be the general's in the future, the general only needs a word, Gu Kang will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up!" ”
Chen Yun and other generals also knelt on the ground and said loudly: "I am willing to follow the general to the death and go to the soup to fight the fire!" ”
Seeing this, the soldiers of the other battalions next to him looked at Li He with awe and admiration, and looked at the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion with envy, which made the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion quite proud. With such a commander, what place can't you go, and who can't fight?
When the remnants of the Wei camp saw that the tiger camp was over there, they all walked around the road, and they didn't even dare to look at it. In their eyes, this group of people in the Tiger Camp is probably more terrifying than a group of fierce tigers, and that Li He is an unbeatable demon.
For a while, Li He's nicknames appeared one after another, what "Li Invincible", what "Immortal General", what "Iron Tiger", what "Tiger King Li", and so on, he didn't call him "Li Daxian" and "Li Zhanshen".
Everyone was looking forward to the situation of Li He and the Hu people facing off against the enemy.
The army is like this, once there are heroes, there is spiritual support. And if there are heroes with legendary surnames and mysterious colors, it can make the soldiers fearless and high-spirited.
Now, although Li He has not yet entered the battlefield, he has already occupied this heroic position in the hearts of all soldiers.
Back at the camp, Chen Yun leaned over to Li He and whispered, "General, this ...... The other battalions have all been paid silver, but the silver salary of our battalion is still withheld by the Chinese army, and they say that they will deduct the silver salary of our battalion. ”
Li He was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Tiger Battalion soldiers next to him, but saw that they were all in high morale, and his face was excited. He said, "Do you know, brothers?" ”
Chen Yun nodded and said, "Everyone knows." ”
Li He snorted and said, "Go back to the camp and talk about it." ”
Back at the Tiger Camp camp, Li He summoned all the soldiers together, he stood on the roof, and said in a loud voice: "Our silver salary has been deducted!" Everyone should know why. You follow Ben General, Ben will naturally not let you suffer! The silver salary in the army is five taels of silver for each soldier, and the general will give you one hundred taels! After you follow the general back to Huyang, I will give you one by one, can you trust the general?! He knows that a simple combination of interests is not reliable, and a simple combination of righteousness and anger may not last long.
All the soldiers in the Tiger Camp swore to follow Li He to the death, and they didn't care if they had money or not.
If you don't care, it's not necessarily all sincere. Many of the people in the tiger camp were poor children, and one hundred taels was enough for their family to live comfortably for a long time. If you put following Li He and one hundred taels together and let them make a choice, they will choose to follow Li He, but they will still think about the one hundred taels in their hearts. Now that they can follow Li He and have a hundred taels to take, then they are naturally very happy and down-to-earth in their hearts. The promise of the second son of Huyang, they are not afraid that they will not be able to fulfill it.
It's been five days, and the Hu army twenty miles away to the north is still unpredictable and unclear, and the scouts who are close have been killed by the scouts arranged by the Hu army around, and they can't approach at all, they can only observe from a distance.
The Hu people were also extremely strange, but they kept sending several cavalry units of different sizes to sweep around, and the main troops were stationed in the same place, but they did not attack, I really don't know why. Looking in that direction from the high ground in the distance, all you could see was that the tents were nowhere to be seen, and there were at least enough people for about 100,000 people to be stationed.
At this time, in the big tent of the main general of the army in Mamenbao, the generals of the whole army and the generals above the commander general came, ready to listen to General Xiao's arrangement, how to fight this battle. These days, the soldiers of Mamenburg have long been anxious. In the past, the Hu people ran all the time, and they didn't have to fight if they wanted to, but now the Hu people are at the door of the house, but they don't let them fight, how can they not be in a hurry?
As soon as the military discussion began, all the generals had already requested to send troops to attack Hu, and all of them were eager to make meritorious contributions.
Xiao Mowei frowned and said, "The reply from the First Route Army said that Lingchuan had also encountered an attack by the main force of the Hu people's army of 100,000 troops, and asked us to go to the flank to support. It's just inexplicable! There are hundreds of thousands here, and hundreds of thousands there, could it be that all the forces of the Hu people are divided into these two forces?! ”
Zhang Qi said cautiously: "General, the Second Route Army seems to be closer to us, didn't they reply?" ”
Xiao Mowei shook his head and said, "No, the person sent to deliver the letter has not returned." He was also full of doubts in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly think, should the Hu people use two suspicious troops to drag the first and third route armies, and then concentrate the real main superior forces to eat the second route army?
Just thinking about it, Li He, who was standing at the end, suddenly came out and said: "General, the last general guesses...... Could our Hu army be just suspicious soldiers? Could it be that the scale of 100,000 people is just an illusion? After all, we haven't fought against them. Moreover, if it is really the main force of the Hu army, why would they be here and not attack? If you contact the reply of the First Route Army again, and there is no reply from the Second Route Army, will the real main force of the Hu Army be fighting fiercely with the Second Route Army and blocking the connection between the Second Route Army and the First and Third Route Armies?
The last general dared to speak and asked the general to send troops to attack the Hu people and explore their truth. If it is a suspicious soldier, it is better to quickly defeat it and rush to the aid of the Tongyang Second Route Army. ”
Li He's words coincided with what Xiao Mowei thought in his heart, but for some reason, he was full of anger when he saw this kid now. Especially when I heard that the soldiers in the battalion are now spreading his prestige and how brave he is, almost everyone in the camp now only knows Li He, the commander of the Tiger Battalion, but does not know his commander Xiao Mowei, the commander of the Third Route Army!
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Mowei felt inexplicably irritable, slapped the table and said, "What do you know!" How could the Hu people use such a simple scheme?! Maybe there are some vicious tricks in it, how can we act rashly?! If there is a mistake in the army, are you responsible? ”
Li He was stunned, he didn't expect that he was scolded for the first time he put forward his opinion, and he couldn't help but be a little unconvinced, although he didn't understand the art of war, but what he said made some sense, this General Xiao refuted his words, but where is the evidence?
"If the general is afraid that the army will lose, please let the last general take the tiger battalion to the test!" Li He hugged his fists.
Xiao Mowei said lightly: "You don't have to be so eager to make meritorious contributions, you have to take your life to Bo." When you defeat the Hu people, you will be left with a credit. ”
Li He couldn't help but say angrily: "Like now, I'm afraid that when my hair is gray, I won't be able to wait to defeat Hu Ren!" ”
Xiao Mowei frowned slightly, and said, "Li He, this is in the military discussion, you have to understand your identity!" Don't think that if you can't do anything with the scepter, you will be domineering, no matter how hard your skin and bones are, can you be as hard as a knife and gun?! Next time I don't know the etiquette of military law like this, I will serve you with a knife and a gun! ”
Li He pursed his lips, arched his hand to Xiao Mowei, and stood back, but he scolded in his heart, this old turtle is going to ruin Lao Tzu's great meritorious service!!
After the military discussion was dispersed, Li He returned to the camp and directly called Chen Yun and You Bi to follow me, and said, "Are you willing to follow me to the death?" ”
Chen Yun and the others nodded busily: "The last general is willing to follow the general to the death." ”
"Good! Put on your armor and take the guys, prepare three days' worth of dry food for one person, and prepare to leave the fort! ”
Chen Yun was overjoyed: "The general has finally decided to attack the Hu people?" ”
You Bi is also gearing up: "Finally, I can really go to the battlefield to kill!" ”
Li He shook his head and said, "No, the general didn't agree." ”
Chen Yun was stunned when he heard this: "What does the general mean...... We send troops privately? ”
Li He nodded slowly.
Chen Yun hurriedly said: "General, there are tens of thousands of Hu people, and we only have more than 3,000 people, and we have mixed horses, how can we compete with the elite light cavalry of the Hu army?" ”
You Bi also hesitated slightly, after all, the difference in strength is too great, this is simply going to die.
Li He squinted his eyes and said, "I'm seventy percent sure that those Hu people are suspicious soldiers, and there won't be too many." Don't worry, even if I die, I'll be at the front! ”
You Bi heard this, and hurriedly said: "Since the last general has decided to follow the general, naturally he will follow everywhere in the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and the general will give an order, and I will rush and never look back!" ”
Li He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and prepare." ”
Soon, the 3,500 people of the Tiger Battalion had been fully assembled, and under the leadership of Li He, they pretended to pass on Xiao Mowei's order, forcibly left Mamenbao, and galloped towards the Hu army garrison twenty miles to the north.
I don't know if it's because of the fatigue of the journey or the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, since he arrived in Xiyuan Province, Da Fei has always been mentally committed, and he can't come out of the house until these days. Today, he left the camp without permission, and Li He was worried that he might not be able to go back, so he took Dafei with him.
There was such a powerful spirit beast following the horse, which immediately added a bit of momentum to Li He, who was holding an axe and riding a horse.
When they arrived a few miles away from the Hu camp, the tiger camp encountered hundreds of light cavalry scouts of the Hu people, but those scouts only dared to throw arrows from a distance to disturb them when they saw so many of them, and did not dare to approach.
Li He ran directly with more than a dozen horses, and the hundreds of Hu people saw that there were not many people coming, so they didn't prepare to retreat and greeted them.
In the army, a wise general who is proficient in the art of war can allow soldiers to achieve great victories at a lower cost. And a brave and invincible general can make the soldiers fearless and move forward bravely. The former is usually the commander of the war, while the latter is the operator of the war.
Li He now belongs to the latter, but although he doesn't understand the art of war, he still understands some simple truths, so he is a fierce general, but not a foolish general.
At this time, he took advantage of the light enemy of the Hu army, and easily led Yang Jin, Gu Kang, You Bi and several of his subordinates to rush over and kill him, with a long axe in his hand, but in a moment, these hundreds of Hu army scouts were scattered.
This is the first time Li He has had close contact with the Hu people, and he thinks that they look no different from the people of Daxia, as if they are just dressed differently. However, compared with the Great Xia cavalry, these Hu cavalry are superior in both riding and archery.
After a while, a sharp horn sound sounded in the Hu camp that was different from that of the Great Xia army, and the rumbling of horses' hooves and shouts could be heard in the distance, and it seemed that the Hu army was about to go out of the camp to meet the enemy.
Li He's heart couldn't help but tense slightly, his first formal war in this world was about to really begin.
