Section 342 The Covenant of Sunset
The leader of the three hundred light cavalry was a smart man, and he understood that the commander must have a task to assign to him next, "Ironclad cavalry, does the right general mean to let us harass them?"
"Yes, but the time can't be too short, you have to stay up until the sun sets!"
When the sun set, it was the time when he made an appointment with all the soldiers under his command and Su Ming and others. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info how many people can be left under his command at that time, and he can see at a glance.
What has been reduced is the number of people and horses, but what has been lost is the loss of fresh lives. Each of these people has parents and brothers, and if anyone dies, there will be a large family of people who will cry afterwards.
He sighed, the war was already extremely cruel, and there was no room for women's kindness. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to carry bundles of arrows from their wagons and distribute them to the three hundred. Each of these men was armed with six arrows, and after bidding farewell to the manager, they went to the battlefield again.
Hu San flattered and said, "Liu Shaoxia, you are becoming more and more general-like now." 'Strategizing in the midst of the battle, fighting a decisive battle thousands of miles away', that's what you're talking about!"
The corners of Liu Yu's mouth twitched, if his martial arts were still there, he would definitely be the first to rush to the enemy, how could he stay here? Although Hu San's words were praising him, to him, it seemed to him to be the harshest sarcasm.
He didn't answer Hu San's words, but turned to another question, "Hu San, do you think Su Ming and they can come back tonight?"
Hu San pondered for a moment, "It is said that the martial arts of the five factions of Emei have always been on a par with the Shaolin Temple, and these two factions have been the sun and the moon in the martial arts of the Central Plains for hundreds of years. As early as decades ago, when the Jinding Daoist had not yet merged the five factions, the major celebrities of the five factions of the Emei faction coincidentally retreated into the caves of Emeihou Mountain, which gave the Jinding Daoist the opportunity to merge the five factions.
At the same time, the famous masters of the five factions of Emei took a large number of martial arts classics with them when they returned to seclusion, and many stunts in the door were lost. Therefore, the martial arts of Su Ming's generation of disciples are probably the worst among Emei's disciples in hundreds of years. This time, they entered the Chinese army of the Tubo people alone, and there were mountains of swords and arrows everywhere, and it was a great luck to be able to keep a corpse, and I am afraid that if they want to come back...... Hard. ”
Liu Yu's gaze dimmed, "Then wait!"
On the battlefield, the offensive of the Tibetans was still fierce, and the resistance of the Khitans was still stubborn. No one noticed that the sun was slowly setting in the west, elongating the figures and reflecting the blood.
The sun had not yet completely set, but Liu Yu had seen a detachment of men and horses retreating from the tidal battlefield and rushing towards him. The person at the head is none other than his newly appointed commander Nogiki. Nomu turned over and dismounted, and Shi Li said: "Report to the commander, we will return to the army according to the agreement, I don't know if there is any delay." ”
Liu Yu saw that there was no wound on his body, but there was a little blood stain on the clothes and armor of his soldiers, so he knew that this person did not fight in person, and should have been instructing his subordinates to do things from beginning to end.
He thought to himself that this person would be blessed, and he would protect himself so well the first time he led the troops. However, as a general, being able to enter and exit the enemy line unscathed is a skill. He was unable to use the evidence in turn to accuse Nogi.
"I came back a little early, how many soldiers did I sacrifice in total?"
"Twenty-three were killed and two hundred and seventy-eight wounded. ”
Nogi's mind was extremely clear, and he replied quickly.
Seeing that there were not many casualties, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "I don't know what the results of this battle were?"
"Please also ask the right general to check, this is what I captured when I led the army to harass the right wing of the Tubo people!"
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him untied the captured enemy heads from their saddles and threw them to the ground, forming a pile of two hundred pieces.
Liu Yu nodded in approval, this person can be called a general who can kill so many enemy leaders with very few casualties on his side, "Yes, it is not easy to lead troops to fight for the first time, and it is not easy to have such results." ”
Seeing the boss's approval, Nogi's heart hanging in the air was put down, and a rare smile appeared on his white pointed face, "Thank you for the boss's compliment!"
It didn't take long for Garhai to return with his army. The Chinese army he was responsible for harassing was the most heavily guarded position of Cang Gyatso, with about 20 percent killed and more than 40 percent wounded. At the same time, he brought back more enemy heads than Nogi vessels, as many as four hundred.
Seeing this, Liu Yu was quite satisfied, "Garhai is worthy of being the eldest of the three brothers, and your military exploits also make his position as a commander worthy of the name. ”
When Garhai heard this, his face was happy, "Everything is the blessing of General Tuoyou!"
Liu Yu saw that he had a slight injury on his face, so he ordered him to go down to treat the wound. At the same time, he thought in his heart that since the two armies had returned so early, it was time for Huwei, the only remaining of the three commanders, to return.
More than half an hour passed, and the night gradually thickened, but Huwei and his men and horses had not returned for a long time, which made Liu Yu a little anxious. Garhai and Nogi, who were following him, were also anxious, worried about this righteous brother.
They saw a troop of men and horses roaring from afar, and they thought it was a hurry, so they hurried to meet it. However, it was not the men and horses of Huwei, but the three hundred light horsemen.
The three hundred men shot six bundles of arrows, and their faces were all exhausted, and they no longer had the same vigor as before. According to its leader, if he does not return, he may not even be able to pull the bowstring.
"Did you see Huwei and his men?" asked Liu.
"Hu Wei did not carry out the harassment strategy of the right general on the battlefield, and led his men and horses to charge into the right army of the Tibetans. The leader of the three hundred light horsemen replied.
"What should I do, second brother, the third brother must have been trapped by the Tibetan people and can't get out!" said Garhai, he wanted to ask the commander to give an order to allow him and Nomu to lead the army back to the battlefield so that he could rescue Hui Huwei.
Nogi was silent for a long time, and when Garhai was in a hurry, he said, "Big brother, let's listen to the boss's opinion!"
"Wait a little longer!" Liu Yu turned over and dismounted, he was unhappy about Hu Wei's disobedience, but now that he had just changed his generals, if he killed the newly appointed general, he would inevitably lose his prestige.
He turned his face, not wanting Garhai and Nogi and the others to see his face, and then called a personal attendant, "Tell the people below to prepare dinner." ”
On the battlefield not far away, the sound of fighting was still fierce, and it clearly reached his ears. He secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the thousand men and horses led by Huwei would not be folded too much. He cherished this little bit of men and horses under his command, if there were no people, he would have done nothing in this war between the Tubo people and the Khitans, let alone defeat the Tubo people and defend the Central Plains.
