Chapter 60: The Trap of the Han Army
In the afternoon, the sun is slightly scorching.
Continuing to chase the trail of the Han army, the black fox appeared extra cautious.
Scouts are sent out in succession to explore the way ahead, ready to respond at any time.
Li Shang chuckled: "With me here, you don't have to be so careful." My soldiers are on the battlefield, and they can use cultivation to observe the qi, and the Han army has already gone far away and is not nearby.
I offer a kind of marching strategy for the soldiers, you let the attachΓ© wait for a while, and I will help you hide the march. β
The black fox's vigilance did not diminish at all, and his eyes flexibly glanced at the distance and near: "Li Gong doesn't know, I can live until now, relying on prudence." β
Li Shang took out a pair of bamboo slips.
This is his preparation for this trip.
The bamboo slips record the marching method that he instilled in the soldiers' practice and copied.
Li Shang promoted the Jianshu with the means of soldiers, and the Jianshu that recorded the method of marching shone slightly.
The Han and Hungarian wars, and the atmosphere of war and war that permeates hundreds of miles seems to be triggered by Jianshu. The marching strategy in the book is divided and blended with the void.
In a trance, it seemed that there was a subtle power, enveloping and covering the people under the command of the black fox, forming a blessing.
The black fox and his men and horses couldn't help but feel that the whole team seemed to be connected by the qi machine, forming a whole, and even the sound of horses' hooves when marching was decreasing, which was extremely mysterious.
The black fox said: "Li Gong used the soldier's marching technique?
I have also collected some marching methods over the years, but they are not as subtle as Li Gong's methods. β
Li Shang said indifferently: "I used the concealed marching method of Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao during the Warring States Period, but unfortunately I only got part of the inheritance, which is not complete." Otherwise, the whole team will march silently, and it will be able to hide its breath, so that people will not be able to watch.
Successful generals who practice soldiers have their own marching strategies, and if they can train with the soldiers day and night, the whole team will be the same and use it more. β
Black Fox is a ragtag army, and compared with the real soldiers, it is far worse, and many methods cannot be used.
The team continued to move forward, and Li Shang was still observing the traces on the ground: "This Han army is chasing and driving away those defeated Xiongnu tribes. β
There was a pair of hands beside the black fox, and it was a plump middle-aged woman: "The Han army is driving away the scattered Huns?" β
Li Shangdao: "When hunting, let a rabbit be injured and let it go, let it go back to the nest, and you can find more of its companions." And because the rabbit is injured, it will bring panic to its companions as well.
The Han army wanted to find more Huns, and they were driving the Huns back to the camp. β
The woman pursed her lips and said: "It's surprising that this Han army is so belligerent, they are not afraid that the Hun camp has a large number of soldiers, and they will be eaten instead?" β
"How many people are in the camp of the Xiongnu, as long as you simply interrogate the prisoners and compare them with each other, you can know that the Han army already knows it."
"What means does Gong Li have to win, maybe he will say a thing or two first, so that I can rest assured?"
Li Shang smiled slightly: "The talisman I have cultivated is the best at attacking and killing enemy generals." If something happens, you can just wait and respond, and if the situation is more chaotic, I will only be more sure. β
The black fox is worried about the chaos you said, and I am afraid that we will contain the Han army and create opportunities for you...... He glanced back at a few of his henchmen.
While several people were talking, Li Shang suddenly said: "Starting here, the hoof marks have suddenly deepened, and the Han army has begun to accumulate strength, I am afraid that the Hun camp is ahead." β
The scouts sent out by the black fox were also riding back, confirming Li Shang's judgment.
"Ahead is the camp of the Huns."
At the end of the line of sight, there are undulating low hills, which are the places where the Huns camped.
The scout said: "That camp is full of corpses, the smell of blood is wafting, if it weren't for the Han and Hungarian wars in this area, I'm afraid it would attract wolves." β
A quarter of an hour later, the Black Fox and the others cautiously approached after confirming that the battle had ended in the Hun camp.
The Hun rangers under the command of Xu Bu Yongtu came to the border pass of the Han Dynasty and started a safari, and more than 2,000 people around him set traps to attack and kill Huo Quai, most of them accompanied him, and only a few hundred people stayed in the temporary camp.
Huo Qubing led his troops to rush over and attack the camp, which lasted nearly an hour, and the battle was over.
When Li Shang, Black Fox and others arrived, the Han army commanded by Huo Qubing had disappeared again.
"Scattered around, be on guard, and report anything unusual."
Before the black fox entered, he sent more scouts again.
The camp in front of him was quiet, which made him very uneasy.
The makeshift camp was small in scale, with only a continuous leather tabernacle arranged in a circle.
When you enter the camp, you can see the corpses of the Huns, there are hundreds, and they are stacked in the most conspicuous position in the camp.
Through observation, it can be seen that a small half of these Hun soldiers were penetrated and killed by the spears of the Han army.
This shows that the Han army that rushed to the camp at that time was very fast, and with the help of a stormy momentum, it swept the entire Xiongnu camp, which could cause this kind of effect of blocking the eyes of the people.
The Han army commanded by Huo Qubing was so strong that it repeatedly refreshed Li Shang's judgment in advance.
He, Black Fox and the others quickly inspected the entire camp.
There is not a single live mouth.
"Let's leave first, I feel like this camp is wrong......" The black fox looked gloomy.
After entering the camp, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. This is a perception of danger that he has developed by licking blood from the knife for many years.
"After the Huns were killed, why did they pile them together?"
There are black fox subordinates: "Some were hung outside the tent. β
Li Shang's face changed suddenly: "Let's leave here first." β
He suddenly thought that after Huo Qubing led the army to attack the camp, he deliberately left the corpses of the Huns and piled them together, the purpose could only be to provoke the other Huns who returned to the camp, and Huo Qubing still planned to continue to fight with the Huns.
In other words, this camp was deliberately set up by Huo Quai, and they rushed in.
Is it possible...... The Han army led by Huo Qubing did not leave at all, and was somewhere nearby, waiting to block a certain group of the Xiongnu returning to the camp again.
And they followed all the way and broke into the trap set by Huo Qubing first!
There are Han troops in the shadows, hiding nearby!
Li Shang felt a chill that made his whole body cold and piercing, and said hurriedly: "After the Han army attacked and killed here, where did they go, did they find the hoof prints?" β
The route and traces of the Han army's withdrawal have never been found. After they attacked the camp, they lost their sights like ghosts.
Li Shang's thoughts rose and fell, so why were the traces of the march they had followed all the way before so obvious? Was it the Han army waiting for the net, wanting people to follow the trail and deliberately staying?
Huo Qubing should not be aimed at him Li Shang or the black fox, but deliberately leaving traces, targeting the Huns.
Li Shang quickly made up the cause and effect of the whole thing, and the feeling of panic became stronger and stronger.
He, the black fox and the others quickly got on the horse, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief until they successfully got out of the Hun camp.
"Let's go! Late will change. β
Li Shang was unconsciously calculated, and the shadow in his heart continued to expand.
"Didn't you say that soldiers can observe qi, and they didn't see that this was a trap before they came in?"
The black fox also reacted, a little angry.
The group hurriedly rode out of the camp and went into the distance.
A few miles away from the Xiongnu camp, there was a low knoll.
At sunset, Huo Quzhi sat on a horse, looking at the team of Li Shang and others in the distance.
"We wanted to bring back a group of Huns. Where did this team come from, so messy clothes. Zhao Ponu on the side frowned.
"Follow our direction...... And seeing that the Hun camp still dared to enter, he left in a hurry at this moment, afraid that he would wake up to the camp arrangement. This team has a problem, stop them. β
"If the source is unknown, they will be killed."
Huo Quzhi's gaze turned to the depths of the grassland: "The confrontation between my uncle's side and the main force of the Huns should be soon, let's go and have a good time." β
"Yui!"
Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao agreed in unison, and rode out with a roar, and nearly a thousand people in armor followed closely behind them, directly attacking Black Fox and Li Shang.
