At dusk, it snows heavily.

The light is dim.

Li Guangji looked into the distance...... Of course, nothing can be seen.

However, as a famous general in a hundred battles, he obviously smelled a hint of a fighter: the Hun camp was suddenly in chaos, and it should be Yang Chuan's reinforcements!

It's an instinct.

"Wait until you follow me, cover all the way over, and grab a batch of cattle, sheep and livestock first!"

Li Guang was dressed in iron-armored battle clothes, turned over on his horse, carried a spear, and pointed to the east of the Hun camp with the tip of the spear: "There are 5,000 men and horses there, and when the fire breaks out at this moment, it will be chaotic, so let's go and kill it first!" ”

The old soldiers of Longxi, who had been aggrieved for four months, suddenly received the order, and one by one they were as silent as iron, followed behind Li Guang, opened the gate of the camp, and covered the past all the way to the east.

For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Li Guangqin led a 3,000-foot army, and just went up head-on, just encountered a defeated Hun cavalry, many of whom even discarded their horses, carrying scimitars, bows and arrows.

It's as if behind them, a group of terrible monsters are chasing, and if they run a little slower, they will be devoured by the monsters one by one.

The cavalry and infantry were tough and had no absolute superiority.

At this moment, such a panicked Hun cavalry, encountering the Longxi veterans who had been aggrieved for four months and were killing people in their dreams, naturally there was no suspense.

The ice dissolves and collapses at the touch of a button.

The Huns charged forward for more than a dozen breaths, but to no avail, with the cooperation of the Han infantry veterans with huge shields, spears and crossbow arrows, those Hun cavalry who lost their formation were just a group of clumsy targets, and they were killed two or three hundred in the blink of an eye.

The Huns shouted, turned around and ran.

As a result, before they ran out for a while, they seemed to encounter some terrible existence in front of them, and they rushed towards Li Guang again.

Boom, boom, boom.

After a dull loud noise, more than 20 clusters of scarlet fire flashed violently, the ground shook the mountains, and the severed limbs and legs of the Huns flew into the dark and dreary sky in the blurry light of the heavy snow at dusk.

After three or five breaths, it was like a bloody rain, crackling to the ground.

The 5,000 men and horses of the Xiongnu, crowded in a very narrow river valley, were originally specially used to deal with Li Guang's infantry, but now they have become their own ghost gate.

Because of the crowding of men and horses, each flash of fire can instantly tear apart a large number of people, horses and livestock......

"Array, block the front exit!"

"Advance quickly and strive for total annihilation!"

Li Guang sat on horseback and carefully observed for a moment on a slightly higher hillside, and had a rough guess in his heart.

The one who can make such a battle should be Yang Chuan's reinforcements.

Moreover, it should still be some kind of 'infrastructure camp' that the thief is engaged in, because he has seen this powerful 'Beacon Meteor Stone' in the Yangchuan infrastructure camp, soaking a ball of grass and trees in the stinky black oil of the Western Regions, wrapping a layer of extremely flammable black bulaji, and throwing it out with a stone thrower, which is extremely powerful......

……

Li Guang's judgment was correct, it was indeed Yang Chuan's reinforcements coming.

However, there are only a thousand people, but it is Ah Tie and others who made Zhangye and Wuwei into a ball of porridge; It has been several days since they arrived at Wusheling, but they have never started in advance, but have quietly made a lot of preparations and 'back-up'.

They blew up several main passages, and if the Xiongnu's more than 30,000 horses and horses, together with Li Guang, who had been besieged for several months, there was no way to retreat.

In addition, there is one more thing, but Li Guang guessed wrong.

What Ah Tie and the others used this time was not a 'Beacon Meteor Stone', but a 'thunderbolt' handed over to them by Yang Chuan, and dozens of 'explosive packs' of fifty catties.

They destroyed most of the roads, leaving only a narrow mountain road that could be accessed, and built a pass on the spot, which would cut off the life of tens of thousands of people in the Wusheling Mountains.

"Ah Tie, let's retreat?"

In the chaos, Ah Tie commanded everyone to retreat, and a half-grown man was a little puzzled, so he couldn't help but ask: "Those Huns have bombed the camp now, and they are just a group of cattle, sheep and livestock running around, or ...... Let's find a way to kill some more? ”

"it!"

Ah Tie turned around and saw that in the heavy snowfall, Li Guang led a team of men and horses to rush over steadily, and slapped the half-sized man on the head: "Retreat quickly, holding the only passage is a big deal, these Huns who have no way to retreat and rations, just leave it to General Li Guang." ”

When the teenagers finished their work, they quietly retreated.

Do things without leaving a name, this is what Yang Chuan Gongzi has repeatedly advised......

……

The Huns were stunned.

First, there was a chaos, the flames were everywhere, and the cattle, sheep and livestock that were used as rations were dispersed by the people who took advantage of the chaos and ran away all over the mountains.

After more than an hour of hard work, it was finally collected only 12/12, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

In addition, the tents that were burned by others were also a big loss.

In the area of Guanzhong and Longxi, the autumn rain is continuous, which is the harvest season; In the Hexi Corridor and the distant Western Regions, the autumn is high and cool, the pasture warblers are flying, and the cattle, sheep and livestock are fat and strong, and it is the time of the year to prepare hay, find winter nests, and begin to prepare for the transition.

However, on the Wusheling Ridge, within a radius of several hundred miles, it was snow-capped and the cold wind was biting.

The Huns, who had lost most of their rations and tents, quickly panicked.

They are already thinking of retreating.

Unexpectedly, when their dozens of rangers returned and reported that almost all the retreat routes had been destroyed and were impassable at all, these Huns really panicked.

If it was a normal season, they could have found another way out, even if they lost all their cattle, sheep and livestock, and anyway, they would have been able to recover quickly by rushing back to their tribe.

But.

Now, there is no way out......

"It must have been done by the Han Chinese!"

"The people in the Tieer Department are simply stupid, they guarded the valley leading to the outside of the Han camp, not only were people touched out to kill people and set fire to our camp, but they were also wiped out in one fell swoop, and not even a single little lamb escaped, it's really damned!"

"The leaders of the Tieer Department are arrogant and unwilling to cooperate with our small tribes, and now they are all wiped out by the Han people."

“……”

That night, after the chaos, dozens of Huns' little kings, generals, and households gathered in a big tent to discuss what to do next, and naturally, the Huns, who suffered a big loss, actually had no ability to 'encircle and annihilate' the Han army.

Moreover, the most serious consequence is that all the passages are blocked.

"On the Wusheling Ridge, when the first snow falls, it will not stop, and it will snow every once in a while."

An unworthy Hun king was full of sadness, gnawed on the leg of mutton in his hand tastelessly, and scolded hatefully: "The person who sticks the post should die!" ”

"The Han army, which has been chased and intercepted by us for four months, is even more damned!"

Because Ah Tie and others' methods of doing things were too sudden and secretive, these Huns always thought that Li Guang had done all this, so they would naturally pour out their anger on Li Guang's head.

"The Han army is an infantry army, relying on huge shields, spears, bows and crossbows, and some chariots to fight on such a small territory, and our cavalry will be useless."

The little king of the Huns groaned a few times and continued: "They blocked all the roads, just to force us to fight them head-on, this little bit of caution, useless. ”

The little king of the Huns thought about it again and again, and began to give a direct order: "Early tomorrow morning, go all out to attack the Han army camp!" ”

In the past two or three months, they surrounded Li Guangtuan, of course, they were not idle, but made a lot of preparations for the siege of the city, among them, there were more than 30 ladders alone.

The siege ladder, referred to as the ladder, was slowly researched, made and invented by the Han people in the Central Plains during the long years of war, and belonged to one of the 'heavy weapons' of the Han Empire.

is different from the 'ladder' in later film and television dramas.

The siege ladder, called the ladder, actually has little to do with the ladder.

Because this cleverly designed, rough and clumsy heavy weapon is almost a behemoth, dozens of stout logs, under the action of iron cables, wool ropes and wooden wedges, in fact, a 'fortress' that can move slowly.

Inside the ladder, seventy or eighty people can be hidden.

Once pushed to the front of the city wall, the people above could not push and push, and they could not shoot through, so they could only face it head-on, and fight, fight, and fight desperately with the seventy or eighty people who rushed out inside......

And this is just one of the functions of the siege ladder.

The most terrifying thing about the ladder is that in fact, it is a 'ladder' made of huge logs that a war horse can ride up and rush up the city with only three or five breaths!

The soldiers defending the city are often armed with huge shields and spears, and some archers and crossbowmen.

How can you resist the cavalry charge from one team after another?

In the face of the siege ladder, the only thing the defender can do is to find a way to destroy it in advance, or throw out the oil urn, splash the hot oil on the ladder, and light a fire......

"Break through the Han army camp!"

"Kill those damn Han Chinese!"

"Dog man, it's too insidious!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Soon, in the Hun camp, there was a lot of excitement, eager to reach dawn immediately, so that they could break through Li Guang's camp and quickly solve the current life and death crisis......

……

At the same time, in the Han army camp, Li Guang also convened the generals to discuss the matter.

Originally, I thought that Yang Chuan had sent reinforcements.

Outcome.

The reinforcements were really reinforcements, but this 'reinforcement army' killed people and set fire to the Hun camp, creating a miasma of smoke and confusion everywhere, and also created an opportunity for him to lead people to cover up the past, and fought a one-sided victory, beheading more than 5,000 enemy heads.

But!

It was only after they killed all the people in the Tie Tieer Department and robbed them of their cattle, sheep, livestock and horses that they discovered that the so-called reinforcements were ......

Retreat long ago.

Li Guang looked blinded, and quickly ordered 3,000 men and horses to retreat to the camp, and after strictly guarding for an hour or two, he found that the Hun camp had gradually calmed down.

The two sides are locked in an eerie confrontation and balance.

Li Guang had a faint guess, but he never understood what this support army sent by Yang Chuan wanted to do? Why don't you join yourself and resist the Huns together?

"Our reinforcements have arrived, right in the rear of the Huns."

Li Guang pondered for a long time and slowly spoke: "In this chaos, we have already made a great contribution by covering up and killing more than 5,000 enemy leaders, and it is also a big loss for the Huns.

But.

Our crisis has not yet been resolved, outside the camp, within a radius of twenty or thirty miles, there are still more than 20,000 Hun cavalry, although in the previous chaos suffered heavy losses, but the other party's deployment and action are fast and normal, what does this mean?

It shows that they were only attacked and disturbed, and they did not break their bones......"

Li Guang briefly analyzed the situation on the battlefield, and finally came to a conclusion: "The number of reinforcements we have is not large, but it can be seen from the previous battle that they are mobile and flexible, and they must be reinforcements sent by Yang Chuan, Marquis of Changning, there is no doubt about this." ”

"Now, the battlefield of Wusheling is just a pile of cow dung."

"We are in the very center, firmly besieged in the middle by tens of thousands of Hun cavalry, and we can't break through, even if we break out, we can't get out at all."

"Therefore, we still have to stick to the camp for now."

"At the same time, we can't sit still, the grain and grass we grabbed are estimated to not last for one or two decades, and we have to find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible......"

A group of Longxi veterans nodded silently.

For the flying general Li Guang in front of them, the old soldiers in Longxi naturally have great trust, and their hearts are also full of respect, even if they are allowed to rush out of the camp and fight with 20,000 Hun cavalry at this moment, it is estimated that there is no fear and cringe.

"Order, the number of defenders of the city tonight will be increased by 1,000, and it should not be taken lightly, in case the Huns sneak attack the camp."

After Li Guang thought about it carefully, he began to give orders: "In addition, prepare a lot of defensive weapons such as oil urns, flints, torches, and stone throwers, which must also be prepared, in case the Huns and dogs jump over the wall early tomorrow morning to storm the camp!" ”

Everyone bowed down and bowed, and then retreated one after another.

In the big tent, only the veteran Li Guang was left, facing a mutton oil lamp, and fell into deep thought.

The Han military camp is in a high place, within a radius of dozens of miles, and it is unobstructed.

During this period of time, after the Huns besieged the camp to death, they were not idle, they quietly cut down trees in the distance, made all kinds of siege weapons, and thought that they were doing it very secretly.

In fact, all this has long fallen into Li Guang's eyes.

Before leaving, Yang Chuan quietly gave the old general a telescope, allowing him to survey the terrain and landforms anytime and anywhere, so as not to get lost on the way......

Unexpectedly, this time it played a different role.

Judging from the actions of the Huns and the area of the forest that was cut down, Li Guang roughly calculated in his heart that those wolf Riha should be able to make at least twenty or thirty siege ladders.

It's too clumsy, but it's not as powerful as it can handle.

'If it's really a siege ladder......

Li Guang only felt that his head was big for a while.

The Hun cavalry, which is invincible in the world, is elusive, like a gust of wind, fluctuating, stirring the world into chaos for hundreds of years, and now, they have also learned the siege skills of the Han people in the Central Plains......
