Chapter Fifty-Nine: Bravery, Victory
The Han army killed the low hill like a tide, and then diverted, led by Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao, each with a team, covering and killing to the low hill from the left and right directions, perfectly avoiding the horse trap under the mountain.
Only Huo Quai, riding straight up, to the top of the hill to kill.
With his powerful perception, the pits on the ground are clearly perceived by him.
Jin An is very spiritual, and under the control of his superb riding skills, the huge horse's hooves are kicked on the ground, and not a single pit is trampled on.
"Shoot!"
On the hills, the Hun soldiers in the panic released arrows one after another, if they can kill this Han general who is like a god in archery, there is still a chance in this battle!
Jin'an, who was already as fast as the wind, suddenly soared again, causing most of the arrows fired at it to miss.
The remaining few arrows were swept left and right by Huo Quai, and they were easily set aside.
Jin'an's clear horse eyes looked at the Hun soldiers on the hillside, and he actually showed a look of mockery and contempt.
A neighing horse's roar.
It snorted, and the muscles in its legs tightened noticeably, then straightened and released.
The ground was full of earth and rocks, and the huge horse body rose into the air, spanning a distance of four or five zhang, and landed in the middle of the low hill, and then rushed upward!
At this time, the Hun soldiers not only lacked command, but also further deepened the panic because of Huo Quai's archery skills and even the courage of rushing straight into the hills.
Airplanes!
The bowstring shook lightly.
Huo Quai's movements were like flowing water, the longbow on the horse's side was in his hand, and arrows were shot out one after another.
Above the low hill, several Xiongnu generals fell in response.
These arrows completely suppressed the fighting spirit of the Huns.
Jin'an's hooves sounded like a hammer, and he rushed all the way to the low hill.
Several Hun soldiers who were not afraid of death tried to get closer, but Jin'an lifted their hooves and kicked them out with lightning, and even the leather shield in their hands was dented and cracked, and blood choked.
Huo Quzhi's eyes swept over, and the surrounding situation was completely chaotic.
On the left and right, the Han army, led by Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao, was quickly covering up.
One trades off the other.
The outcome of this battle was a foregone conclusion at the moment when Su Buyong was shot and killed, and it only depended on how many Xiongnu troops could escape from defeat.
Huo Quai's horse was stationed on the low hill, and the wind of the grassland blew the thin air on his back.
His mind swept through the feeling of the unity of heaven and man and the unity of the void when he shot the arrow just now.
The appearance of the book of sea soldiers undoubtedly magnified his ability.
Although he was excellent in archery in the past, he had not reached this terrifying realm of gods!
Huo Quzhi smiled and stroked the horse's neck.
Jin'an is really a good horse.
……
Liu Qian, known as Li Gong, was Li Shang among the Eight Princes of Huainan.
He and Huo Qubing left Chang'an on the same day, hurried with all their might, and came to Beiguan.
It's almost the end of April, and there's a little more warmth in the air.
In addition to asking Li Shang to come over, Liu Qian also made other arrangements.
His father, King Huainan, has many diners under him, and his relationship network is also very deep.
The Wuhuan people who went to report to the Huns were not alone, and there was a team behind them.
They are the forces that have been wandering in the three areas of Wuhuan for a long time, and they have an unknown connection with Liu Qian.
This team was already operating on the border, and their presence at the time of the Han-Hungarian war would not attract additional suspicion.
After receiving the message from Liu Qian, they moved west from Wuhuan.
That's why there was a process of sending people to come forward and send news to the Huns.
Li Shang galloped thousands of miles, took two retinues, and came all the way to the border pass, taking advantage of the Han-Hungarian battle, bypassing the border city, and quickly got in touch with Wuhuan's team.
The two sides met in the wilderness, the outer area of the Han-Hungarian war.
"We have already sent people to the interrogation to deal with the Han general Huo Quai. The Huns have prepared an ambush, do we need to do it again? ”
The leader of the Wuhuan people was a middle-aged man with a fierce look, wrapped a black cloth around his head, covering half of his face, and his subordinates called him Black Fox.
This person has a cunning gaze and a fierce momentum, and he is looking Li Shang up and down.
He was followed by hundreds of people, dressed in a messy manner, some wearing leather armor and some wearing Hanfu, both men and women.
This gang used to plunder merchants and travelers on the border of the three places, doing everything, and they were all extremely vicious.
Li Shang recognized their combat effectiveness, but was very dissatisfied with their obedience: "How many of you are there?" ”
The black fox whistled.
Suddenly, in the sparse forest a little farther away, the ground turned upside down, and some people hiding in it appeared in the shadows.
"We have close to nine hundred people." The black fox was slightly surprised, and being able to gather such a force at the border showed his ability.
Li Shang nodded slightly, such a team goes to fight the Han army, does not expect to win, just use some means to assist and achieve the goal.
"Where's Huo Quai?"
"According to the method provided by Childe, I have been intermittently informed of the route of the team led by Na Huo to get sick in the past few days.
They left the border of the Han border in the morning and went north. At this moment, I am afraid that I have been ambushed by the Huns, and it is a question of whether anyone will survive. ”
The black fox squinted and said, "What's more, it's just one person to kill, so why bother."
I have a monk under me who is proficient in the art of yin spirits, as long as I find the camp of the Han army, drive the yin spirit into a dream, and let him die silently, wouldn't it be troublesome? ”
Li Shang frowned and said: "Han and Hungary are fighting, you look at the celestial phenomena within hundreds of miles on the border of Beiguan, and the spirit of the soldiers is soaring.
This is a national war, and even the air is filled with war spirit. What kind of Yin Spirit Technique dares to murder soldiers in the confines of the battlefield?
If the Yin Spirit approached, it would immediately be strangled by a military qi.
On the battlefield, only soldiers can deal with soldiers. ”
The black fox was refuted by Li Shang and did not feel angry at all.
He deliberately said something wrong and observed Li Shang by the way. If he didn't know Li Shang's methods, how could he rest assured that he would act with Li Shang: "So you are proficient in military affairs and have the certainty of dealing with the Han army?"
So what do you think to do now? ”
"Let's go over and see first, it's best if Huo Qu is sick and dead, otherwise we need to take action."
Li Shangdao: "Can you know how to march to avoid the enemy?" ”
The black fox laughed and said, "What we are best at is to hide and act, otherwise how can we survive, let's go." ”
Nearly two hours later, the sun moved westward.
The black fox and the others were cautious all the way, groping and finding the dwarf hill where the Huns had ambushed Huo Quai.
The surroundings were quiet, and there were obvious traces of battle, but there were neither the Huns nor the Han army.
After sending scouts to scout the neighborhood and make sure it was safe, the group approached the drum.
Li Shang's face was a little solemn.
He was proficient in military affairs, and by looking at the signs on the scene, he could roughly deduce the process of the two sides fighting.
"The Huns first laid an ambush behind the low hill and waited for the Han army to approach ......"
Li Shang carefully observed the traces on the ground: "The Han army rushed head-on, and the traces of the horse's hooves were urgent and dense, and the speed was very fast. When they reached the bottom of the hill, they divided into two teams, the left and right, and avoided the Huns' trap.
This shows that the Han army discovered the ambush in advance. ”
The black fox also stared at one of the most obvious marks on the ground: "This is ...... Left behind by the horses running?
What kind of horse has so much force to step on the ground, leaving such obvious hoof marks? ”
The black fox pointed to a place under the low knoll: "This is the deepest trace. ”
Li Shang thought for a while and said, "There is a Han army who rode straight to the ambush position of the Huns on the low hill. The traces you are talking about are the places where the horse briefly gained strength and jumped upward. ”
The black fox's face unconsciously flashed a little startled.
Did the Han army dare to go straight to the ambush position of the Huns, and judging by the hoof marks on the upside, the Han army finally succeeded in killing the dwarf hill?
Li Shang and the others also climbed the low hill along the tracks.
The marks were even more chaotic, with dried blood all over the place, and an ear that had fallen to the ground, surrounded by red blood.
An hour or two ago, there had apparently been a fierce fight here.
Li Shang walked around to observe the traces on the dwarf hill, and even measured it with his hands, and quickly came to the conclusion: "Under this low hill, the footprints are scattered in different directions, indicating that one side is in a state of panic, and the people are scattered and fleeing, lacking a subordinate." ”
Combined with the analysis just now, a chill suddenly arose in the black fox's heart:
"Do you mean that after the Han army was ambushed by the Huns, not only did not retreat, but also killed the Huns head-on and defeated the Huns to win?"
Li Shang snorted: "Otherwise, how can you explain the situation where the hoof print below rushes straight up?"
There are also traces on both sides of this hill, which must have been killed by the Han army, and the Huns were so bold that there were traces of the subsequent chaotic rout......"
Li Shang was also a little shocked.
He pointed in one direction: "The horse's hooves are most obvious in that direction, there is no confusion, it is obvious that the victorious side is the victorious side, calmly clean the battlefield, and then go in that direction, let's follow and see." ”
The black fox hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
He was already afraid of the Han army that was about to be blocked, and some wanted to retreat. But the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent.
The group immediately followed the trail and quietly followed.
