Chapter 447: Li Guang is too insidious

In the battle of Wusheling Ridge, there is no suspense, and Li Guang will inevitably win.

This was expected by Yang Chuan.

This 'Great Han Elk Marquis' is not an offensive player, but when it comes to the field battle of the city defense and the combination of infantry troops, Li Guang can be called the first.

Even though the Xiongnu had built twenty or thirty powerful siege ladders, the mountain roads were rugged, and they wanted to cover Li Guang's eyes and ears at first, so they chose a very secret valley to work hard.

But when the war began.

The Huns were dumbfounded.

Once assembled, these behemoths made of logs are small fortresses that can't be pushed at all......

At dawn, under the whip of the Huns, a large group of Han craftsmen worked hard, trying all means to install some 'wheels' on those siege ladders, and finally pushed those extremely heavy guys to the front line under the vigorous pulling of hundreds of cattle and horses and the push of one or two thousand people.

"Sure enough, it's a siege ladder."

In the heavy snowfall, Li Guang stood on the tall stone wall of the military village, carefully examined it through the telescope, and couldn't help laughing.

There is a saying in Chang'an City, the donkey in the Western Regions wants to learn how to run a war horse, but as a result, he accidentally tore the balls......

The Han craftsmen driven by the Huns did make some standard siege ladders.

The problem is, it's just too standard.

After visual inspection, Li Guang determined that the siege ladders in front of him could be used even if the Huns' big orders wanted to attack Chang'an City, and this special mother was too big, too tall, and too clumsy.

Each siege ladder requires dozens of oxen to pull and push, and two or three hundred soldiers can carry and push hard, so that they can walk slowly on the flat ground, which looks majestic, but in fact, there is no use for fart.

Li Guang's military village is located on a sunny slope, backed by a huge peak, a large slope in front of it is already very steep, a typical easy to defend and difficult to attack place, coupled with a night of wind and snow, the ground has long been a layer of shiny ice skates.

Even if the war horse gallops, if you are not careful, you can slip and fall to the ground, these guys push the siege ladder to attack the city, and make sure that there is no conspiracy in it?

You know, the Huns are too good at fighting......

Li Guang observed for a long time, and finally decided to let the Huns' siege ladder 'climb' forward for a while, and then find a way to knock it out when they entered about 200 steps.

"Pass the order down and bury the pot to cook."

"Take out the mutton that was cooked last night, boil it in a pot, and let the soldiers have a full meal."

"Today, a wicked battle awaits the brethren......

After a while, several large white hot air floated in the Han military camp, and there was a strong smell of mutton and mutton soup everywhere, and more than 7,000 Longxi veterans, plus hundreds of 'people' in the infrastructure camp sent by Yang Chuan, opened their bellies and ate and drank.

After being depressed for two or three months, he regained his vitality when he landed.

The people in the infrastructure camp are from Yang Chuan, and they don't seem to be very old, just a group of unkempt half-grown people, but they are always relatively silent.

Eat meat silently, and make soup silently.

Even if Li Guang and those Longxi veterans wanted to talk to him, they were a little indifferent in words and deeds, and they seemed too lazy to make friends with others.

It's those Longxi veterans, two catties of mutton in their stomachs, and then drink a big bowl of hot mutton soup, chew a few mouthfuls of hard pot helmets, and they will be resurrected with full blood when they land, one is more nonsense than the other.

"In the battle last night, our C-shaped battalion didn't go out, so you A-shaped battalion took advantage, this special mother's unreasonable."

"Yes, for some reason, looking at the old waste firewood in the A-shaped battalion, how can I feel even more sad than our C-shaped battalion losing the battle."

"There are more than 20,000 Huns outside, as long as you want to make meritorious contributions, General Fei can't stop them."

"After this battle, after Lao Tzu returned to Longxi, he first fought with his wife for 300 rounds......"

“……”

Listening to the nonsense of the old soldiers, Li Guang's face gradually showed a warm smile, and he nodded while walking, and said a word or two to the old soldiers.

From time to time, he would stretch out his big hand and slap those old ghosts on the shoulders once or twice to show encouragement and strengthen the army.

Having experienced too many major battles, Li Guang only needed to look at the faces of the soldiers and listen to their words to roughly calculate the high morale.

It seems that last night's attack, coupled with the 5,000 men and horses of the Gang Paste Division, made the morale of these old killers rise rapidly, and they are all a little geared up.

As for their braggart, it is just one of the ways for veterans to regulate their nervousness, and it has no practical significance......

"Third brother of the Chen family, is your injured leg better?"

"The third master of the Wen family, how many Huns cut off their heads last night? Is it enough for you to go back and marry a few more wives and concubines? ”

"Li Gouyu, your old boy is only fifty-eight years old, why did you lose half of your teeth?"

“……”

Li Guang is a natural general, all the way through, he can casually call out the names of most of the old soldiers, so that those old killers are inexplicably a little excited, and even, there are people who have wet eye sockets, but they are reckless, look up at the snowy God, let a few snowflakes fall in the eye sockets, to cover up.

What a soldier!

Li Guang sighed in his heart, walked slowly to the stove, took a bowl of mutton steamed buns, swallowed them in three or five bites, and began to 'encourage before the war': "The camp of the Northern Army has the best war horses, iron armor, bows and crossbows, and chariots, and can fight to the death with one enemy and ten, holding the elite of the Huns to the death."

The Yulin Army, which is the emperor's personal guard, under the management of Huo Quzhi, Yang Chuan, and Cao Xiang, is not only one person and five horses, with iron armor, leather armor, and soft armor, but also the best fire battalion and infrastructure battalion in the world, known as invincible in the world, and it is indeed very fierce, enough to take one enemy ten, and the enemy twenty.

Everyone is the elite of our Han elite, and we, the old bones of Longxi, can't compare at all.

But.

Who says old pawns can't fight?

In the past, Lian Po, seventy or eighty years old, can still eat meat in large pieces, drink in large bowls, and can pull open eighteen stone hard bows, which can be called old and strong, and invincible in the world.

Today, I Li Guang is over sixty years old, all the old brothers and brothers, among them are older than me Li Guang, and there are also those who are two or three years younger than me, which can be called the oldest and frail army of our Han people, right? ”

The old soldiers were in an uproar: "On the battlefield, as long as you can kill the enemy, Guan Teniang is still old or young!" ”

"Yes, yes, on the battlefield, I still beat the shit of those Huns!"

"They're wolf-riha, why did they make a bunch of shit?"

"When a wolf is beaten, it will become a dog......"

These veterans of a hundred battles can survive the bitter cold of the border land and the continuous war, luck is one aspect, and more importantly, they are actually very good at fighting-

In Yang Chuan's words, isn't the matter of fighting a war just letting the enemy lie down and allowing himself to stand?

Li Guang smiled at the corner of his mouth, listened to the nonsense of the old soldiers, and said: "That's right, there are only more than 20,000 Huns outside, now, we eat meat and drink soup in the military village, and most of those people's tents were burned by our reinforcements. ”

The old pawns burst into laughter: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm afraid to beg!" ”

Li Guang saw that the morale of the people was high, and he stopped talking nonsense, and immediately gave an order: "Order 3,000 soldiers and horses, prepare more shields, crossbow arrows and hook and sickle guns, and follow a certain family to cover up the killing later." ”

"The C-shaped battalion prepared oil urns, torches, and shields, followed behind the army, rushed to the front of the Huns' siege ladder, and set fire to it."

"The rest of the people, each with its own duties, guarded against the forcible attack of the Huns."

The old soldiers suddenly received the order: "No! ”

The hundreds of people from the infrastructure battalion sent by Yang Chuan naturally bowed down to receive the order and immediately began to act......

……

Almost at the same time, the little king of the Huns also appeared.

The Huns' 'pre-war mobilization' is relatively simple, just tell those warriors that they can get a cow and three sheep by breaking through the military village and hacking a Han soldier to death.

After besieging Li Guang's army in a military fortress for two or three months, these Huns were very angry, and at the same time, they were also extremely proud.

In their eyes, this infantry army of the Han army, in addition to shields, spears, and chariots to form an extreme defense, is simply an old turtle.

Timid, sluggish, with a hard shell.

Where did they think that they were facing Li Guang, the first general in the Han defensive battle.

After being beaten passively for two or three months, the Huns always believed that this was a cowardly division, and in addition to defending, they would not look for fighters at all and launch an active attack...... This is what Li Guang really thinks.

Through careful observation through the telescope, Li Guang concluded that the Huns had not prepared for the flank security and frontal charge in such a blatant and large-scale attack this time......

……

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

When the Huns' 'siege ladder' advanced to two hundred steps in front of the Han army camp, the Huns' horn sounded for a long time, and the mournful and long sound spread far away in the snowy Wusheling area.

Faintly, some more mournful and long voices came back, but they were the echoes of the trumpet, stirring up an echo in the vast expanse of the mountains.

At the same time, dozens of cowhide drums were beaten with heavy hammers.

The trumpets sounded in unison, and the war drums sounded.

Twenty or thirty hundred-man teams reined in their horses, ready to attack, and the Hun cavalry looked gloomy and fierce, and it seemed that as soon as the siege ladder reached the edge of the stone wall, they would launch the first wave of charge.

Whether it is the Han army or the Huns, in the siege battle, the first, or rather, the first to climb the city wall, should be counted as the first merit!

Twenty or thirty tall and incomparable siege ladders slowly moved forward, like dozens of fierce beasts in ancient times, huge in size, clumsy, hideous in appearance, and very full of momentum.

"These Han craftsmen are really damned, let them make siege ladders, I didn't expect it to be so big and so strong, even two or three hundred-person teams can ride horses and rush to the city wall."

The little king of the Huns laughed, pointed to the Han army camp in the distance with a horse whip, and said very arrogantly: "Do you want to take a gamble and see how long our warriors can break through the Han army camp?" ”

An unworthy general laughed and held out three fingers: "I bet that the time it takes to slaughter three lambs will break the city." ”

Several others spoke one after another, as if it was the time it took to slaughter three lambs, or the time to slaughter five lambs.

In short, it is very arrogant.

There was a boom.

In the Han army camp, dozens of big stones flew out and smashed dozens of steps in front of the Huns' siege ladder, which once again attracted laughter.

"The Han army is in a hurry, throwing stones so far away, this accuracy is too bad, right?"

"It's not that they're in a hurry, it's that they're scared by our siege ladder."

"Oh, don't be scared to death, otherwise, if we break through the camp, everyone will be scared to death, and the military exploits in hand will fly?"

"Hahaha......"

Soon, the murderous momentum and momentum that the Huns had just gathered were dissipated by more than two dozen stones that had no accurate heads.

On the battlefield, there was a sound of mockery.

Originally, the Huns rarely fought in this situation, but in the past, they rarely besieged the same city for a long time, this is one of them.

Second.

It was they who they faced this time, and it was the famous defensive general of the Han Dynasty: Li Guang.

The reason why Li Guang has such a great reputation, if he could only hide in the city and blindly defend, I am afraid that Liu Che would have been sent back to farming with an edict......

False and real, strong and weak, just a trick to lure the enemy.

At the head of the city, Li Guang saw that the momentum of the Huns had been dissipated, so he ordered the stone thrower to launch another 'attack', throwing out more than 20 stones crookedly and smashing them in several more outrageous directions, causing another burst of laughter from the Huns......

He continued: "Every seven or eight breaths, lure the enemy like this, and let him go deeper. ”

The cold wind howled, and the north wind blew snow.

On the Wusheh Ridge, within a radius of one hundred and eighty miles, the lead cloud is pressed on the top, and the snow slag hits the face, like a sharp knife, cutting the face painfully, and it is extremely uncomfortable.

In the Han army camp, the eight thousand Longxi soldiers were as silent as iron, silently executing Li Guang's military orders, and always ready to fight.

Finally, another full hour passed.

Dozens of 'siege ladders' of the Huns advanced to about 120 steps in front of the Han army camp.

Such a distance is very dangerous and embarrassing.

The rain of arrows on both sides could not shoot each other, and only the crossbow machine of the Han army could play a stable role, but for some reason, not a single arrow was fired......

The cows, horses, and soldiers who pushed and pulled the 'siege ladder' were very hard, and they were already tired of being dogs, eager to open their mouths and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and it was estimated that they would fall to the ground with just one order, and they would never wake up again.

The dozens of hundred-man teams that were ready to charge were very relaxed, loose, and the enthusiasm of the battlefield was finally completely wiped out, and they seemed a little bored.

Even, some cavalrymen even turned over and dismounted and urinated on the snow, which naturally caused bursts of laughter.

The time Li Guang was waiting for finally came.

"Open the door."

"Get out of the city and cover up!"

"Beat the drums!"

He walked down the stone wall quickly, turned over his horse, carried a spear in his hand, and rushed forward first: "Kill!" ”

In the Hun camp, the horn has long been weak, and it is empty, and when you hear it, it blows for too long, and it is estimated that your mouth is almost numb.

Their war drums were already messy, beating from moment to moment.

All of a sudden.

Dozens of big drums in the Han army camp rumbled, making the Huns who had long been wiped out of their fighting spirit suddenly excited, looking up, they seemed to be a little dazed.

Some of the Hun cavalrymen who dismounted and peed were startled by the sudden roar of a huge drum, and they couldn't help but shiver, and the guy, who was already a little sluggish from the cold, shrank into the crotch of his pants.

After a burst of warmth, there was a clammy chill in the crotch of the legs......

Han Army?

The Han army, which was besieged by them in a small military village, changed its cowardly temperament, and actually took the initiative to rush out of the camp and cover up the Hun army?
