Chapter 418: The Stolen Jade Pendant

Xianbei always chooses the latest and coldest time to harass, and the soldiers are always worried at night and can't sleep.

"General Bai, now only the Xianbei clan is still insisting, and other small countries have surrendered, let's take the surrender letter, and we can also give His Majesty a life."

The adjutant generals below couldn't stand the harassment of Xianbei and had plans to retire.

"Yes, General, we have helped Xiliang fight for more than a year, and it is enough to fight righteousness, and for the rest, let them Xiliang deal with it themselves, if even a Xianbei clan can't resist, it can only be said that they Xiliang is incompetent."

Bai Shuo looked at the battle map on the table, a year was enough time for them to figure out the conditioning between the mountains and the hills.

The biggest reason why the small nomadic countries were defeated was that they could no longer use the terrain to limit the defense of the Liang army, as long as Xianbei handed over the surrender letter, they could turn around and leave, and they could return to Beijing.

"I really don't know what the Xianbei clan is delaying, and if they don't surrender, do they want to wait for us to occupy the mountain range to the north?"

Bai Shuo said lightly: "We are fighting a guard war, there is no need to expand the territory, as long as the Xianbei clan surrenders, the army can return to Beijing." ”

"But what if they don't surrender?" The lieutenants were anxious.

"They don't surrender for their own reasons, we can't be bored because of the enemy's provocation, so we take it lightly, the most taboo on the battlefield is to underestimate the enemy, who knows if there are other forces behind Xianbei."

"Alas......" everyone sighed.

Every time there is a discussion about the withdrawal of soldiers, other people's thoughts are always related to Bai Shuo.

"But General Bai, it's not a way for us to delay like this, Xianbei doesn't surrender and often provokes, and we can't go deep into the north to exterminate, back and forth, how long do the soldiers have to spend in Xiliang?"

Looking down at the layout map, Bai Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth, and said: "Don't worry, I already have a suitable battle situation, what I have to do now is to wait, wait for Xianbei to take the bait, and within two months, we will be able to raise troops and return to Beijing." ”

As night falls, the temperature plummets.

Bonfires began to rise in the Liang barracks, and soldiers sat around the fire to keep warm.

In the distance are endless mountain ranges, the peaks of the mountains are emerging from the sky, the dim moonlight is faintly imprinted in shape, the soldiers look into the distance, rub their cold palms, and complain.

"How long will we have to fight this battle, it's been more than a year, which is longer than the previous Xiliang War."

"Ahem, you don't want to think about how many people participated in the Xiliang War, almost the entire army of Daliang was concentrated, is that posture something that ordinary countries can resist? Now there are only two armies fighting with the nomadic country, and they can't go deep into the north, so can you take some time. ”

"It's really unfortunate to say, obviously he can go back to Beijing, but General Bai fell ill again, and the entire army has to wait for him to get well before leaving, what a waste of time."

Soldiers, you say a word, you dare to say anything around the campfire.

Around the dark night, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring.

In the next few days, the cavalry patrolling the Xianbei tribe found that the night defense of the Liang army camp had become weaker, and the soldiers guarding it were lazy and slippery, or could not stand the cold at night, so they came down from the hill and ran to a warm place in the center of the barracks to keep warm.

The reconnaissance point on the hill was unguarded, and the Liang army personally exposed the weak and suitable places for attack.

The Xianbei cavalry immediately informed Shan Yu of the news, and combined with the news they had heard in the Liang army camp before, they said that Bai Shuo was sick for no reason and was now recuperating.

This situation is simply the perfect time for a sneak attack.

There are no so-called commanders and generals in small nomadic countries, they are all tribes who lead their own troops to fight, and have the opportunity to attack the Liang army and win the commander.

Not only was the ability to guard at night weakened, but when he was harassing during the day, Shan Yu noticed that only the deputy general was chasing with his troops, and Bai Shuo did not show up for several days.

"It seems that the coach of the Liang army is really sick."

Xianbei Shan Yu was very happy, they had spent so long, they had been waiting for the opportunity to fight back, and today they finally asked him to wait.

Sitting in a tent made of yak hide, Xianbei Shan Yu spread a message to the outside world: "Pass the order, all the cavalry soldiers will gather tonight, attack the Liang army at night, and capture Bai Shuo alive." ”

The people below were in high spirits, chanting tribal slogans.

It was another night, bonfires were lit in the barracks as usual, and the soldiers on patrol laid down their posts and gathered from all sides to warm themselves around the fire.

The Xianbei soldiers hiding on the hill looked at the Liang army with fierce eyes, and below the barracks, there seemed to be no other fire except for the fire for heating.

Even the large military tents of several lieutenants did not look like candlelight, it was pitch black, is this a light out and asleep?

The soldiers next to them couldn't bear it anymore, and they couldn't wait to rush up now and tear the Liang army's barracks to pieces.

Xianbei chuckled disdainfully, very proud: "It's really funny, the Liang army has no commander, and they are all like deserters, so ask others to prepare, listen to my orders, and attack directly." ”

When the firewood burned out and the bonfires disappeared, the enemy troops on the hills swarmed up, chanting slogans and wantonly in the dark night sky.

The fence was overturned, and several people rushed straight towards the tent, and the sound of some fights outside gradually came.

When the military tent was opened, it was pitch black and unusually silent, and a few Shan Yu looked at it intently, and their eyes fell on Bai Shuo, who was fully armed and wiping the big knife.

"You!"

"I didn't expect that." Bai Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth, his handsome and burnt side face revealed a burst of cold air, and the big knife glowed white in the moonlight.

Bai Shuo has been waiting for them to take the bait these days.

"Okay, Dugu Yu, you Huns have already handed in the surrender letter, don't go back to the tribe to recuperate, follow Xianbei to sneak attack my Liang army, what does it mean?"

The candles in the tent were lit, and immediately torches and bonfires were lit all over the barracks, lighting up the entire sky.

At this time, the leaders of the small nomadic countries knew that they had been deceived.

When Bai Shuo saw that the Xianbei tribe was unwilling to surrender, he guessed that none of these nomads really surrendered, and the Xiongnu and Karasuma tribes pretended to deliver the surrender letter and withdraw from the border, but in fact they colluded with the Xianbei.

wanted to play with the Liang army, lead the army to the north, and finally take down the Liang army with all the firepower.

Fortunately, Bai Shuo was not fooled, and in the face of Xianbei's provocation, he did not go deep into the north, and instead used their desire to survive to lead people to his own encirclement.

Everything is a scene performed by Liang Jun, in order to wait for them, Liang Jun wears armor every day and never leaves his sword.

Xianbei clenched his fists and rashly sent troops, thinking that he had picked up a big bargain, but who knew that in the tents, there were heavily armed Liang Jun.

There were screams outside, and he couldn't bear to think anymore about whether the voice was from Liang or Xianbei.

When he entered this military tent and was put together by Bai Shuo, he had already lost.

In this battle, almost all the Shan Yu of the small nomadic country were there, and the Liang army and the Xiliang soldiers joined forces, took them all, and captured the tribal leader, and the matter was really over.

Another few months passed, after cleaning the battlefield and escorting the prisoners of war, Bai Shuo officially resigned from the King of Xiliang.

"I will bring the letter back to Daliang, Your Majesty has already ordered that all countries and prisoners of war will be handed over to the King of Xiliang, whether the king kills him or makes peace with him, please decide carefully."
