Chapter 295: Battle of Poplar Valley I
The west side of the Baiyang Valley was the temporary station of the Northwest Army, and the Xiongnu spies reported that the Northwest Army had stopped on the west side for a short time, except because they were really worried that there was an ambush in the valley. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info More is that the Northwest Army has experienced physical discomfort, and many people have begun to vomit and diarrhea, and their limbs are weak. Some people have begun to look like they are out of strength. However, the strange thing is that although the vomiting and diarrhea are up, there is no news of any poisoning symptoms or death of the soldiers.
There was such a sudden bad situation in the battalion, and the lieutenant naturally had to go around to inspect the situation of his men, and there were not many soldiers with him, because many of them had to rest in place, so there was no one but four or five of his own soldiers.
The lieutenant pondered the reason as he walked, "What is the problem, why did the soldiers suddenly vomit and diarrhea so much, could it be that the march at night is also suddenly infected with wind and cold?"
The soldier on the side asked, "My lord, isn't this kind of vomiting and diarrhea just like the problem caused by eating the wrong thing in our daily life?
The lieutenant said suspiciously, "We all have something to eat, isn't it just dinner?"
The pro-soldiers on the side were also silent, yes, they all had dinner, why would they be fine? Just when everyone was hesitating, one of the pro-soldiers suddenly touched his pocket, and then said to the captain, "My lord, I think I should find the culprit!"
The lieutenant turned his head, "What?
I saw that the soldier took out a bland steamed bun from his pocket, "The culprit is him!"
A group of people turned from their original excited expressions to flattening, and the lieutenant said helplessly, "Xiao Zhang, joking at this time is not a good habit and a good decision. ”
Xiao Zhang shook his head, "My lord, my subordinates are not joking, it's this steamed bun, when we came out of the Blue House tonight, we had one for each person, but when we were resting, some people ate, some people didn't eat, and a few of us didn't eat, so we were fine, on the other hand, the people who ate were all vomiting and diarrhea, and they were dizzy." So the subordinates guessed that the problem was on this steamed bun!"
After thinking about it carefully, the lieutenant seemed to be like this!: "This steamed bun, could it be that the people of the Blue Mansion are deliberately trying to harm us? But if he wants to harm us, there are too many opportunities, and he is not at all this time, and he can even take advantage of the usual opportunity to solve us quietly, why is he so risky this time?"
The soldier said, "My lord, could it be a spy from the Huns in the Blue Building, who wants to take this opportunity to harm us?"
The lieutenant touched his chin and said, "It makes sense for you to say that, but if Lan Lou has the intention to harm me, then it will be troublesome, at this moment, Lan Lou can't go back easily, we really can't advance or retreat...... By the way, have the spies who went to the valley to explore their way back?"
The captain suddenly remembered that there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the temporary camp, "My lord, my lord, urgent information!" The sentry passed through the crowd and came to the captain and said, "My lord, the Western Regions Protector is on the other side of the valley."
When the lieutenant heard this, his spirits immediately lifted: "Really? They retreated here?"
The sentry shook his head, "No, my lord, they received the news that we are in danger in the Blue Building, so they rushed over to support us in the starry night!"
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, "We have been attacked, the other party has also been attacked, this is not good! We have been tricked!" and then reacted! "The brothers who can take up arms immediately take up their weapons, and all of them retreat into the valley!"
The entourage couldn't react, but the soldiers' instinctive reaction, everyone immediately picked up their weapons and "obeyed!"
The lieutenant ordered again, "Sentinel, turn back immediately, and let the Western Regions Protector not retreat into the valley no matter what, and the east must be held no matter what, and must not retreat!"
The sentry listened to the order and immediately retreated to "receive the order"
The soldiers who did not receive the task began to follow the lieutenant and asked, "My lord, why is this?
The lieutenant said calmly, "The Huns tricked us out with tricks, and used medicine to deal with us, obviously we are the target, if we are not mistaken, they must have attacked our side, our only way to retreat is to break through from the east, Pei Shanguo and my Han are friendly, it stands to reason that it will not have too much impact, we can also break through, at least we can kill back to Yumen Pass"
"My lord, you say that, could it be that Shule has already been!?" The pro-soldiers knew the three-point horn, and the captain didn't mention Shule at all, I'm afraid that he had already tacitly acquiesced that Shule had been lost. "Yes, subordinates understand!"
The soldier nodded firmly, and the captain only sighed silently in his heart, "Alas, this battle, I really don't know how to explain to the emperor and the marquis when I go back, but at the very least, I want to have an explanation to my brothers."
The movement here immediately attracted the Huns in the distance, and as soon as a cannon rang out, the horns of the Huns were blown, and the Huns rushed from behind the mound to the temporary camp of the Northwest Army like a tide.
The captain is not chaotic in the face of danger, "after the break that can pick up the weapon, the weak go first, immediately enter the mountain pass, the holiday shield, and enter the valley, the Huns' cavalry can not rush up, there is not much threat" The soldiers immediately acted according to the plan after hearing this, and the Hun soldiers were indeed as the captain said, when they arrived at the valley pass, they obviously needed to slow down and could not rush. For a time, the offensive was indeed slowed down.
However, in this way, the Xiongnu were strange, because according to their expected plan, the Northwest Army was going to resist desperately and jam the West Pass, and now the Northwest Army took the initiative to retreat, which caught them off guard. However, it would not be wrong to rush up and fight hand-to-hand with the Han army, and after rushing to kill the Han army who had no time to retreat into the valley, the Hun soldiers jumped off their horses and began to pick up sabers and shields and poured into the valley to have a life-and-death duel with the Han army. However, the Han army also fought and retreated, and it seemed that there was no idea of entanglement with the Xiongnu army.
Seeing this, Ke Moore immediately decided: "Immediately send someone to attack the east entrance of Baiyang Valley, and stop the Han army from retreating east for me no matter what!"
So a part of the Huns immediately hurried to the east mountain pass. And in Dongshankou, at this moment, it was also a fierce battle, and the Hun soldiers had been swimming but not attacking, not sticking to the edge of the Han army to attack, but constantly attacking with bows and arrows to suppress the Han army.
Seeing this, the envoy of the Western Regions looked at the valley behind him, and commanded the troops and said, "The rear began to retreat, retreat to the mouth of the valley, and reduce the coverage of the Huns' bows and arrows!" However, as soon as they withdrew a little, the herald of the Northwest Army ran up: "My lord! Your Excellency needs you to defend the West Mountain Pass no matter what! The Northwest Army is retreating to this side, and the west is being attacked by the Huns, and there is no way to retreat!"
The envoy of the Western Regions said helplessly: "It's not that we want to retreat, you have seen it, the offensive of the Huns here is also very fierce! With such a dense bow and arrow, if you don't retreat into the valley, you will be attacked by the enemy on your back, and the casualties will be difficult to control!"
