Chapter 55
Chapter 55
The sound of the scout's whistle came from the northwest, Li Xian and Zhong Heng came galloping, and after a few whistles they galloped back.
Zheng Qing came rushing forward on a horse, seeing the young master coming to meet him, he hurriedly flew off the galloping horse, knelt down on one knee, and hurriedly said: "Sir, there is a large cloud of smoke and dust in the north that looks like cavalry. There is a team of more than a thousand people, not my Dayan soldiers, half of them are cavalry, most of them are on foot, and there are some carts with oxen and horses. The majority of those on foot are not like soldiers, but rather like ordinary people who have been coerced and captured. Crying could be heard in the distance.
I wanted to investigate further, but when I met the scout team thrown out by the other party, they shouted a few barbaric words, and they actually shot at us.The enemy is proficient in riding bows and horses, listening to his words, and judging by his clothing, he must be a barbarian. If it weren't for the crossbow arrows you gave us, my lord, the range is extremely long, I am afraid that several brothers will be damaged.At this moment, the team of savages should not know our convoy. If we go straight along the original road, we are afraid that we will collide within half an hour. "
His head was covered with sweat, he didn't even bother to wipe it off, and finally he articulated, explaining the detected enemy's situation clearly and clearly.
"Team of Thousands? Barbarians?" Li Xian asked twice without saying a word, feeling a little confused for a while.
Zhongheng then asked: "How many cavalry? How many armors? Armored or light cavalry? How many infantry? With knives or spears? Are they barbarians from Lingqiang, or Turks or Huns? Where are you coming from, and what is the direction of travel?"
Zheng Qing was speechless, dripping with cold sweat.
He thought that this adventurous investigation, and shooting at the enemy from a distance, and killing those barbarian Tanqi was not a great achievement, but it would also allow the young master to take precautions and avoid the enemy first, but he didn't know that there was something more in it. So many tricks?For a while, his face turned blue and red, he was ashamed, angry and frightened, afraid that he would miss the important matter of the young master.
Seeing him like this, Zhong Heng didn't know how to rush. The scouts of this convoy were just home guards and hunters on the village. It was easy to catch some thieves or bandits, but there was a lot lacking in the detection of the military situation. The training these days I haven't honed these things well, and the news I got is far from the experienced scouts in the army.
But this time is not the time for remorse, Zhong Heng thought for a moment like lightning, and shouted: "The map booklet!"
The little donkey rushed over to bring the simplified map that Zhong Dui used every day, and handed it to the horse. Zhong Er turned to the side of the horse, avoiding others, and spread the map sideways, so that Li Xian could see it more clearly, and turned his head to look at himself. Zheng Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, said: "Get up! Maybe point out the approximate location of the enemy on the map?"
Zheng Qing hurriedly got up, ran to the two of them, carefully distinguished for a moment, and pointed to the left bank of the northwest section of the Hun River with a little hesitation. He stretched out his hand to compare the distance on the map, and nodded in affirmation: The river bank is six or seven miles away, and our convoy is about twenty miles away. Although the enemy barbarians have cavalry, most of them are exhausted, and they are not in a hurry to march, but the speed is slower than the usual march."
Maps are the secrets of the country. Generally, a large caravan bribes one or two people, or they can get some brief maps, such as detailed maps for military purposes. Don't think about it.
The map issued by the imperial military mansion is not so detailed and intuitive. It looks more like a freehand landscape than an atlas. It looks like this. After the young master got it, he scribbled and modified it himself, but it is much more accurate. A novice like him who knows how to understand maps can also roughly distinguish the location.
Zhong Heng's face was as deep as water, but his voice was as steady as usual. He pointed to the Hun River in the picture and explained to Li Xian: "These barbarians are walking towards us. Instead of plundering and returning. The barbarians gather in tribes, and most of them often take teams of thousands or ten thousand. According to Zheng Qing's investigation, these barbarians are mainly cavalry mixed with infantry. They are not like the main force, and most of them are small The vanguard scouted the sentry. The barbarians are greedy in nature, and the cattle and sheep of the common people probably passed by, and they were plundered by them."
His finger quickly drew a line along the Hun River, and said: "To the west of the Hun River is the Great Wall of Han Dynasty, and there are Jiayu Pass and Yumen Pass to lock the throat of the northwest. What's more, even if they enter the customs, they have to go to the east of the Hun River, and crossing the river is not an easy task. Outside the old Great Wall in the north, there are the Xiongnu Donghu, who have been coveting my Central Plains for a long time, but they are fierce internally. Father... When guarding Tianshui, the main tribes were already seriously injured, fleeing to the north.
This Turkic barbarian was originally a member of the Eastern Hu, who worked in a humble way, but has gradually risen in recent years, and has had many quarrels with me, Dayan, and my father is fighting with him..."
Zhongheng lowered his voice a little, pulled himself together in an instant, and quickly analyzed the incoming enemy with Li Xian: "Judging from the direction of the enemy, they should be Turkic barbarians. They entered from the two passes of Weiwu and Hukou in the north. General Liu is guarding the north gate. , can let such a large group of barbarian enemies 'submarine', there is no military report, hehe!"
He laughed bitterly, feeling really angry for his father, but at the moment the enemy situation is urgent, there is really no room for more thought or anger.
Li Xian's heart was cold when he heard it, and he confirmed it clearly. This is probably the time when the Turkic barbarians in the previous life invaded the capital and made trouble for half a year, and even turned the hinterland of Dayan's Central Plains upside down. Even the emperor changed. Thousands of ferocious barbarians invaded the bandits!"
Although it is said to be one hundred thousand, the world is frightened, but the number of soldiers has been exaggerated since ancient times. Although the barbarians do not have a huge army of one hundred thousand, there will always be thirty to fifty thousand, and they will attack the invaders fiercely.
It's just that in the previous life, it should have happened half a year later, and the capital was besieged for more than a month, until the event that shocked the world happened, and then the siege of the capital was suddenly lifted.There is no danger in the capital, even he was hungry and frightened in the black prison, he was scared to death, and he stayed there for a long time, even though the suburbs of Beijing were full of smelly smells, a mess, and countless people were robbed, after all the capital The interior is fairly safe, and even the guards and Zhi Jinwu who dared to shrink back in the inner city were not killed.
Just because of this important event in his previous life, he asked Li Xiang to seek a military post in the Northwest, and took the post in a hurry. He wanted to avoid this barbarian intrusion, but why did he just bump into him? !
"Shouldn't it be at this time, it's obviously half a year later?" Li Xian was dripping with cold sweat, wondering whether it was true or not that he would live again?
[What's wrong, what's wrong this is?How many barbarians need to find out first!As long as there is not too much difference, there are hundreds of thousands of children, with this iron car array designed by us, come one, destroy one, come one pair, destroy one pair! ]
[What half a year later?Does it refer to the time of brushing?Xiao Lizi, do you understand the butterfly effect?In your new life, every different choice must be involved in various causes and effects, how can it be the same as in the previous life everywhere?Look at General Zhong beside you, he is not disfigured now, and there are many spare parts! ]
[Fight, fight, fight!If you want to fight, I will fight!What the hell is we waiting for the blessing of Weili, Xiao Lizi, are you afraid of a ball? !Big deal, in times of crisis, the anchor buys a big lightning bolt and shocks him [beep——]]
[Dear viewers, please watch in a civilized manner. Welcome to sponsor Xiao Lizi's first battle and help him with a little power!Ah Xian, you have to have confidence in the institutions and things of the superiors. These barbarians are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of my iron chariot!But in view of the quality and experience of your subordinates, it is recommended to preset the battlefield and sweep the vanguard of the barbarians.
Of course, if there is really a big team following behind, I personally suggest 36 tactics, walking is the best policy, you alone, or a few more, you can run in any way, the superiors will take care of you, but these followers, Ahem, you can decide for yourself!
So, the most important thing is information, information!With clear information, knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy, you can win a hundred battles! 】
Li Xian's thoughts were chaotic, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, yes!
A small group of unlucky savages who were killed in Beijing a few months ago, and met them after sneaking into Beijing. They must have colluded with a certain force in Beijing in their previous life, which caused him to be blamed and thrown into a black prison.In this life, Zhong Er killed several of them in one fell swoop, and the remaining one was also silenced.
Therefore, in the past and present, these barbarians were able to "sneak across" Xiongguan quietly, only because there were high-ranking officials in Beijing who conspired with these barbarian chieftains!Fortunately, Te Niang's misfortune has caused the young master to face it head-on.
Although the prescriptions of the masters are all effective, but the soldiers are also dangerous weapons. Except for Zhong Heng who has fought in the battlefield, most of the people in this convoy have never even slaughtered a chicken. We also know that weapons are not the only conditions for victory. Soldiers' training, bravery, and discipline... Even geography and weather conditions may turn the victory of the battle.
What's more, they are such a rookie against such a large group of beast-like savagery? !
Li Xian was in a state of confusion, listening to Zhong Heng's analysis of the enemy's situation in a muffled voice, he didn't know how to choose, is it war?Or give up the brigade, take a few close people and run to take advantage of the chaos, taking the opportunity to escape?
Zhongheng still analyzed himself for his son, and pointed to the core: "These barbarians have entered the bandits, and since they are close to the capital, their purpose is probably to point directly at the capital! The west is the Hun River. If my convoy retreats, there is only one official road. The side mountain road is bumpy and difficult to walk on, retreat! It’s just that they are stuck in their way, and they will be caught up sooner or later. By then, everyone will be exhausted and useless, and it’s the first battlefield, so I’m afraid it will be hard to match.”
Zhong Heng frowned. He didn't dare to be too confident about these teams who had practiced coordination for the first time, and most of them hadn't even seen blood. , but something has to be used by someone. These new things have not been battled, let alone useful or useless.
"If we retreat to the northeast, I'm afraid we'll run into Manzi's follow-up brigade."
"Then what should we do?" Li Xian broke out in a cold sweat. He really knew nine out of ten senses about these military formations, but he didn't know anything about them.
"For the current plan, there is only one chance to survive!" Zhong Heng's eyes flashed a bit of coldness, and he cut his palm across the upper part of the Hun River, where he met the enemy: "Cross the river!"
This is the only bridge on the Hun River for nearly a hundred miles. The river is slightly narrow and there is an ancient wooden bridge. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have to go all the way to get here. Hunhe River, a few tens of miles further, is the territory of the northwest frontier.
Li Xian took a deep breath. Although his team was expensive and powerful, it was to prevent bandits and road thieves. There are only a hundred or so girls, even the belts and bones. Do you want to fight against the brutal barbarians? !Even if Zhong Er is really the invincible god of war, with one enemy against a hundred, and most of the people in the Central Plains are captives, counting on their fingers, they have to beat at least three or four barbarians who are as strong as bears and as cruel as wolves!
Mr. Li's scalp went numb for a while, and for the first time since his rebirth, he felt that his life was in danger, but is he really going to leave everyone and escape alone?He glanced at the faces of the people in the distance who were alive but didn't know why, and who were somewhat panicked but trusting, and looked at the loyal servants nearby who were willing to shed blood for him...
Li Xian gritted his teeth: "Mother Qianli! Fight hard."
