Chapter 149: Laughed at by the enemy
Qiyan shows his young courage, and in the Qiyan Department, he is also a rare fierce general.
In his early years, because he was born in a side room, he was not taken care of by his clan relatives, and often suffered from hunger and cold.
Later, Qiyan Silie found that he was quite brave, and he became a close confidant, and he personally taught him the art of war and the battle array.
Since then, Qiyan Daxian has been the vanguard of the Qiyan Department and has fought in all directions.
In that year, the Great Khan led his troops to break through the four northern counties of the Han Dynasty.
It is to beg Yan to show his might, with 30,000 vanguard soldiers and horses, the 100,000 officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty were defeated.
For a time, it was famous.
So much so that now, when the children in the four northern counties cry, the adults will scare and say: The beggar is here.
After such a fright, the children did not dare to cry.
It can be seen that its bravery is unparalleled.
At this time, Qiyan Daxian sat quietly in the camp.
Although he is a well-known general, he is now fifty years old.
Even with the big eyes and wide eyebrows that were frightening when I saw them in the past, they actually looked kind and kind.
Qiyan Daxian seems to be very approachable.
There was an earthen wall to obstruct the Han army, and the entire battalion seemed foolproof.
He even wandered around and started doing manual work.
Bunches of artemisia grass were tied up to form straw figures, and green cloth was also put on.
"General, the tiger skin has been taken care of."
A pawn presents a delicate tiger skin.
Qiyan Daxian took the tiger skin and touched it, and praised:
"Yes, send it to the Khan King quickly."
"As for the tiger meat, it was boiled and shared with the soldiers, and the tiger bones were used to make wine."
"Yes!"
The pawn responded, and was about to retreat, but he could see the straw man on the ground, and he always felt a little weird, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"It's just a straw man."
Qi Yan grabbed a straw man and broke it alive and without care:
"The Han army is so vulnerable, it would have been easy to break that Liu Pheasant's neck."
He carried the broken straw man and smiled happily:
"Let's go down."
The pawn retreated tremblingly.
He has only joined the Donghu army in recent years, and has only heard of the name of begging for great bravery in the past.
Now, it's a thorough experience.
That tiger was hunted by Qiyan Daxian when he went to the mountains to explore the terrain after the garrison of Xuwen County.
The tiger was killed with a blank fist instead of a blade, thus ensuring the integrity of the tiger's skin.
After the pawn retreated, Qiyan Daxian summoned a partial general.
"Our army's camp is covered by an earthen wall, and it is difficult for the Han army to know the truth of our army, so they will inevitably send light cavalry to investigate."
"You lead a thousand people, and lay an ambush first."
"Yes!"
——
In the northwest of Donghu Daying, about four miles away, there is a forest.
Just after the ugly hour, a group of black-armored cavalry, about 800 people, jumped out of the woods.
At the head was a man in a donkey cart.
It was Liu Ke.
"The title of the person, the horse picks the bell, a hundred people follow me to the slope behind the Donghu camp, and the remaining seven hundred people slowly follow and answer us."
Liu Ke gave orders in a low voice.
In fact, the soldiers did not support this night visit to the enemy camp.
The Donghu camp is covered by an earthen wall, and it is difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real, so it is necessary to send people to investigate.
But it is enough to send a brave general, why let the Son of Heaven personally take risks?
It's a pity that the soldiers were selected one by one, and there was really no suitable candidate to lead a small group of soldiers and horses to explore the camp.
There are only three people in the army, Lei Lan, Banihan, and Li Jingji, and it is harmless to die unexpectedly, which is suitable for the role of this kind of assaulter.
But Lei Lan's wisdom is slightly lower, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be deceived, and he has failed to rob the camp before, and he has a psychological shadow on the enemy camp.
Banihan is too young, although he has some wisdom, but he has no military experience, and he may not be able to see through the reality of Donghu.
Needless to say, Li Jingji said that although he had a well-founded advance and retreat, if he was to visit the camp, he would basically go for a small defeat.
Coming and going, only Liu Ke brought Dian Chu and eight hundred imperial guards, which was the most suitable.
At least the force value is high enough, and it will be okay to be cautious.
Soon, Liu Ke and Dian Chu took 100 people to the slope behind the Donghu camp.
"The Donghu people did not set up spies nearby, the earthen wall covered the reality of the military camp, and they could still resist our army, but I am afraid that it will not be convenient for them to arrange sentry posts."
Liu Ke said in a low voice.
When Dian Chu saw the emperor looking at him, his eyes widened, and he also replied in a low voice:
"Your Majesty said yes."
"The battalion is not well guarded, and the large battalion is quite large, and it is more than enough for 50,000 people to be stationed."
"Your Majesty said yes."
"Donghu Yingpan is located in the middle of the road, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is easy and difficult to attack, even if it is arson, it is not easy."
"Your Majesty said yes."
After some conversation, Liu Ke was a little distressed.
This beggar is worthy of being a well-known general, and it is really not easy to deal with.
At this time, the vision under the moonlight was hazy, and Liu Ke looked at it a few more times, trying to see the movements of the soldiers in the Donghu camp.
However, a hundred steps away there were more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in ambush, and a Donghu general was waiting for the opportunity.
A cloud flickered by, obscuring part of the moonlight.
"That's the time, kill!!"
More than 1,000 Donghu soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out from the side of the slope.
After a rain of arrows, they quickly killed Liu Ke and Dian Chu.
"Oh no, there's an ambush!!"
The seven hundred imperial guards in charge of answering shouted loudly.
Fortunately, there were not many of them, and the formation was scattered, even if there was a rain of arrows, few people fell off their horses on the spot.
Liu Ke on the slope also realized that something was wrong.
The Donghu people had already prepared and laid an ambush.
"Retreat! Fall back! ”
Soon, a few scattered Donghu warriors came up from the side of the slope.
There were shouts of killing all around, but Liu Ke didn't have any panic, and took the hundreds of people around him, relying on the advantages of the chessboard and spear in his hand, and there was a pawn to protect him, and he took the road to kill.
As soon as he ran out of less than 100 steps, a general came to kill, and he looked quite brave.
A collision actually knocked a royal guard away.
It can be called extremely powerful, and when he sees it, he wants to step forward and use his brute force to force the donkey cart to stop.
At this time, the Donghu soldiers also found out, although under the hazy moonlight, they couldn't see clearly.
But among the Han army, only the emperor drove a donkey cart!
Even the general who wanted to force the donkey cart to stop was extremely excited.
just laid an ambush in advance, hoping to catch a few Han soldiers and bring them to sacrifice the flag, but I didn't expect to block the Han Emperor!
"Emperor Han suffers death!"
The Donghu general shouted loudly, holding one hand weakly, trying to force the donkey cart to stop, and the other hand waved the knife and slashed, the knife was extremely powerful!
Bang –
The donkey cart suddenly sped up, and there was no hindrance.
Liu Ke only felt that the body was shocked, and the chessboard spear in his hand was stunned:
"Adian, did you hit something just now?"
"Your Majesty said it."
"Ugh"
Dian Chu dragged a corpse from the side of the body, used it as a throwing object, and after throwing it out and knocking down a few Donghu soldiers, he scratched his head:
"I don't know."
At this time, the seven hundred imperial guards who were responsible for receiving support also hurriedly arrived.
Liu Ke had made arrangements earlier, and he was also ready to be ambushed.
He is invincible with a chessboard spear and an unmatched donkey cart with its elegant skills, but that doesn't mean he won't be on guard.
Therefore, even if they were really ambushed, the soldiers did not panic, and promptly set up a formation according to the previous arrangement.
The 700 imperial guards who responded adopted a four-line offensive formation, using the soldiers who served as the front army as spears to concentrate on attacking a certain place.
Even if it is surrounded by an ambush, it can quickly organize a breakthrough.
There are 50 people on each flank to guard against being attacked by the Donghu people.
With 200 men in the front and rear, plus the Chinese army that can respond to the support, once the enemy is defeated, it can carry out a quick joint attack.
Liu Ke can't command a large army to fight, but now he has 70 commanders, and he only dispatches seven or eight hundred people, which is quite handy.
With the response, the breakthrough speed of Liu Ke and the hundreds of people around him is getting faster and faster.
The indestructibility of the chessboard spear, coupled with the bravery of Dian Chu, actually killed the ambush.
There were screams around them, but most of them were Donghu with a strong accent.
Liu Ke looked back, and the hundreds of people around him followed very closely, and there was almost no damage.
But at this time, the Donghu camp under the slope lit up.
First, a general, lit a torch, and went out from the main gate.
In the midst of the roar, the entire camp was lit up.
From east to west, there are watchtowers on the high ground, and they are also lit with lights.
"There are indeed 50,000 troops."
Liu Ke took the opportunity to confirm the soldiers and horses in the camp, and at this lighting speed, there would not be too few soldiers and horses in Donghu.
So, I immediately put my mind at ease.
He is not afraid of going head-to-head with Donghu soldiers and horses, as long as it is a war, no matter how difficult it is, there is always a way to win.
The only thing Liu Ke was worried about was that Donghu was harassing and moving in everywhere under the guise of besieging the city and relying on the cavalry.
Now it seems that Qiyan Daxian really wants to attack Xuwen County.
In this way, you don't have to worry too much about the safety of other places, just concentrate on breaking through this way.
"Let's go!"
Liu Ke shouted, the camp was a great success, so he naturally had to slip away as soon as possible before the other party's army was encircled.
Judging from the current distance between the two sides, it is not difficult to run.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, just when Liu Ke led his troops away.
The general who came out of the main gate of the camp did not wait for the soldiers, but rode alone and killed him on the slope.
"Begging for a big face?!"
Liu Ke was also surprised, such bravery, it should be the begging face of the children in the north who heard it.
Judging from the time I was active, I estimated that I was already around fifty years old, but I didn't expect to be so brave.
The horse's hooves galloped, the signature braids of the Donghu people fluttered in the wind, and the long knives glistened coldly in the moonlight.
Ahead is the Han army, the sound of weapons, horses' hooves and shouts of killing are intertwined, and the atmosphere is extremely depressing.
But Qi Yan Daxian was expressionless, and the Han army, which had obviously broken through successfully, seemed to no longer exist in front of him.
In the wide eyebrows and big eyes, there is only endless killing intent.
"Liu Pheasant is here!!"
Suddenly, he shouted, and his whip was raised, like a flying arrow, and he rushed straight at him.
The blades of the Han soldiers surged left and right in front of him, and the swords and spears attacked together.
But there was no fear on his face, the long knife pointed directly, and he was attacked with a pinch, and he quickly whipped his horse.
So, he rushed to the donkey cart.
Even if it was a pawn, he also put on a stern expression at this time, and changed from a person to a halberd.
Qi Yan raised his knife and slashed when he staggered with the donkey cart.
This knife was under the halberd of Dianchu, and the two weapons intersected, bringing a loud noise, which shocked people's hearts.
"Adian, let's go!"
Liu Ke wanted to take advantage of the weakness to stab a chessboard, but Qiyan showed his martial arts skills and was really strong, so he hid directly.
He knew how many pounds and taels he had, so he didn't love to fight, and left with people.
You beg to show off your martial arts, and you can't stop the eight hundred imperial guards!
"Thank you, General, for the whip!"
"Drive!"
Liu Ke threw the horsewhip at the donkey's buttocks, and the eight hundred imperial guards followed, and slipped away directly.
Qi Yan subconsciously wanted to spur the horse to chase again, but suddenly found that the left hand holding the whip was empty.
"This"
He couldn't help but ooze a little cold sweat from his back.
Between the donkey cart and the horse, there is only a gap of two moves at most.
That Liu Pheasant not only tried to stab him with a spear, but also took away his horse whip??
"This kind of martial arts, I'm afraid it doesn't belong to the young Khan King."
Qi Yan sighed with great hope, and seeing that he couldn't catch up with people, he had to order the three armies to return to the camp to rest.
After all, people are visiting camps, not robbing camps.
Just outside the camp on the slopes, there is no depth.
even left soldiers and horses in advance to respond, but I was afraid that even the route had been planned, and the Donghu soldiers would not be able to catch up at all if they chased after them now.
Qi Yan Daxian walked around, wanting to count the battle damage.
There were about 100 dead and wounded, but I didn't see the shadow of the henchman alive, and I was a little confused:
"It's a strange thing, even if you die, you won't be able to find it, right?"
Having said that, Liu Ke had already returned to the camp with eight hundred imperial guards.
This camp exploration not only found out the reality of Donghu, but also touched the begging face.
[Name: Qiyan Daxian (Bangshi)]
[Age: 51]
[Command: 90; Force: 99; Wisdom: 73; Governance: 49]
[Characteristics: Bear and Tiger Posture, Brave Advance]
In terms of attributes, he is enough to be called a famous general, and he is not inferior to Di Han who Liu Ke took great pains to catch from Jiaozhi.
These two features look simple, but they're really good.
It is estimated that there are still many generals like Donghuli, and they have been practicing for decades with the Han leveling, even Li Jingji has also practiced.
Liu Ke pinched his short beard under his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly a ghost came to his heart.
The system can make the abilities and characteristics of the enemy generals, which can be regarded as a regular hanging.
Combined with intelligence and the enemy's generals' past combat records, you can almost figure out a person's way of using troops.
"Among the characteristics, there is a brave advance, so thinking about it, it is time for Li Jingji to make meritorious contributions."
Li Jingji is really easy to use, and the fraud has been tried and tested repeatedly, and ordinary people can't see that it is fraud.
Di Han was outside the camp and personally led 3,000 people to greet him, and Liu Ke got off the donkey cart and wiped the sweat on his face.
"Your Majesty, how is the Donghu camp?"
Di Han was also relieved to see that the emperor had returned safely.
Liu Ke raised his eyebrows, with a smug look on his face:
"That beggar Daxian is really not easy to get along with, but he has been prepared for a long time."
"When I was visiting the camp, I fought with them."
Di Handen's heart tightened:
"That beggar is quite brave, Your Majesty must not visit the camp alone, if there is a mistake, you can do it."
Liu Ke waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter, no one can see anyone in the dark."
"We and the Donghu people, although they are hand-to-hand, they don't look like an army, but like people fighting in the countryside, just a chaotic battle."
He threw the whip in his hand at Di Han:
"This is a begging horsewhip, it is estimated that it is also a good thing, General Di has a meritorious service in guarding the camp, and I will give it to you."
"This"
Di Han subconsciously checked it, it was really a good thing, and the handle of the horsewhip was still inlaid with jade.
Liu Ke took advantage of the lights in the camp to count the losses, but found that only seven people were missing.
He couldn't help laughing, looked around at the soldiers, and said:
"With only seven casualties, I withdrew to the camp, wouldn't it make the Donghu people laugh?"
"It's just Donghu, and I actually took the life of my Han soldiers."
"General Di, you will write down these seven people, and then give the pension to their families after the war."
The emperor said it easily, but the soldiers who heard this were all highly motivated and extremely excited.
Eight hundred men explored the camp and encountered an ambush.
The main general of the other party even went out in person, but he still only suffered seven casualties, and he was able to find out the information and retreat.
even brought back other people's horse whips.
Earlier, the soldiers were still a little nervous and worried.
The soldiers of the Han army who were born in the forbidden army are okay, after all, the emperor took them before, fought with Donghu several times, and won a few battles.
But the same was true of the Cochin officers, South Vietnamese natives, and convict troops.
They had never seen the scene of the Han army and the Donghu people fighting with their own eyes.
Although I heard that the Han army had won several big victories, the Donghu people had been victorious for decades.
Now, it seems that this is no more than that!
Eight hundred people could also come and go freely in the Donghu camp, and seven people died in ambush.
The follow-up Emperor Han showed his sincerity and gave no less compensation.
When the entire Han army camp arrived, the morale was high, and everyone felt a little more relaxed.
It's just that after Di Han ordered the soldiers to return to the camp, there was some worry on his face:
"Since Qiyan Daxian does have 50,000 soldiers and horses, and is covered by an earthen wall, although the morale of our army is high, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win for a while."
"Your Majesty must not underestimate the enemy, and you still need to think of a plan to break the enemy."
Liu Ke pinched his short beard under his chin, and suddenly looked north:
"Take a break, I already have a plan in my heart, just like this"
