Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 43: Chapter 45: Strike more with less
Li Hao went to Han Zheng, the captain of Huotou Battalion, and told about the enemy's sneak attack on food and grass. Han Zheng was also taken aback, and his first reaction was to ask Li Hao, "What should we do? The general manager and the army are not in the camp!"

Li Hao said solemnly: "Listen, here comes the opportunity for you to make contributions in the Huotou camp. Now you take more than 80 brothers from the Huotou camp to ride fast horses and me to support the grain and grass team. Stop them in front of the team, as long as they can delay them for a while, the people in the grain and grass team will react, and the enemy's plan will fail."

"This... can this be done?" Han Zheng was beating his head, "We are just a fire-headed army, and there is no order from the commander-in-chief, so how can we act casually."

"Urgent action, if something happens, I'll take care of it!" Li Hao said loudly, "You Huotouying usually don't have many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, but now you have a great opportunity in front of you, don't miss it, don't you really Do you want to stay and cook here for the rest of your life?"

"I don't want to." Han Zheng shook his head like a rattle.

"Then hurry up and tell the brothers to get ready to go!" Li Hao shouted with staring eyes. Now that time is running out, he really doesn't want to waste time.

Han Zheng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Forget it, I'll fight with you, brothers, get up!"

When he shouted, all the people in the ten tents of Huotouying ran out one after another, some were sleepy, some were still getting dressed.

Han Zheng briefly explained the matter to them, and then asked loudly, "Now, I'm going to take everyone to help the food and grass team. Anyone who doesn't want to go can quit now!"

When the people heard that they could make meritorious service, they were immediately overjoyed, and food and grass were related to the victory or defeat of the army, how dare they sit idly by and clamored to go with him.

Li Hao immediately asked them to fetch the horses from the stables. The grooms of the stables refused to give them the horses because they didn't have a warrant from the steward. Li Hao directly knocked them unconscious with a stick. One person and one horse, each armed with weapons, rushed out of the barracks shouting. .

Li Hao took the lead and ran at a high speed. To be honest, he was very scared at this moment. He was going to charge the battle. Can you not be afraid? He is a novice, but he has to go. If the food and grass are burned, the army will be in trouble. It is very likely to fail, what will happen if you fail, Li Shimin is angry?Li Jing was punished?These are trivial matters. What Li Hao cares about is history, yes, it is history.

In history, the battle against Tuyuhun by the Tang Dynasty ended with a complete victory for the Tang Dynasty. If this battle is lost, history will change. Li Hao doesn’t know what will happen next. Maybe nothing will happen, maybe everything will happen. Changes, including the disappearance of Li Hao from the future, he can no longer imagine.

The grain and grass team was ten miles south of them, not too far away. They rode their horses for a long time and finally reached the grain and grass team before the enemy.

The camp guards of the Grain and Grass Team suddenly saw Li Hao and his group approaching on horseback, and they all held out their guns to refuse, shouting coldly: "Who is it!"

Li Hao took out the imperial decree and said in a loud voice: "I am Li Hao, the school captain accompanying the army under the order, under the command of Li Daozong, the commander-in-chief of the Shanshan Road marching, and I have urgent military information to report. Who is in charge here?"

The guard said coldly: "Since there is an urgent military situation, first show the military order of the marching commander and the military order of the chief commander!"

Li Hao said: "The matter is urgent. Before we can ask for military orders in time, Tuyuhun dispatched hundreds of cavalry to attack your food and grass team. It is not far from here now. You should hurry and report to your supervisor!"

The guard was shocked when he heard the words. Although he was dubious, he still decided to be cautious and asked a soldier behind him to pass the order to their captain.

Taking advantage of his free time, Li Hao took out his binoculars and turned around to look around, and found that the enemy cavalry was only four or five miles away from here, so he hurriedly called out: "It's too late, brothers, follow me to meet the enemy and hold them back!" , Don’t let them approach the food and grass camp.”

"Yes!" All the brothers from the Huotou camp shouted in unison, turned their horses around with Li Hao, and ran into the darkness.

Li Hao and the others rushed three miles away and encountered the enemy cavalry. Neither side lit their torches. Under the faint moonlight, the two cavalry silently looked at each other, and the distance was less than a hundred meters.

The Tuyuhun cavalry team was a little confused. They came all the way in the dark without making a sound. They thought they would be caught off guard and burn the Tang army's food and grass. Unexpectedly, before they arrived at the Tang army's food and grass camp, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared here Wait, although there are less than a hundred people, what does this mean? It means that Tang Jun has discovered them a long time ago and is prepared.

Now the cavalry captain of Tuyuhun was in a dilemma. The purpose of this sneak attack was to catch him by surprise, but now that the opponent was prepared, should he continue the mission or retreat?
Li Hao was sitting on the horseback, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He was afraid, the opponent was a cavalry team of more than 300 people, and his army had only 80 people, so the difference in strength was a bit big.

Although he was afraid, he also knew that he had to suppress all negative emotions at this time, and boldly said loudly to the opposite side: "Listen up, people on the other side, your plan has already been understood by our manager, don't make unnecessary struggles, Go back and let you Fuyun Khan bow your head and accept the surrender, or our Tang cavalry will trample your body and your will into mud!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the Tuyuhun cavalry were astonished, and finally they could confirm that the other party had indeed known their plan in advance. Their captain hesitated for a moment, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he gritted his teeth and said slowly in Tuyuhun language: "Brothers, Before leaving, Khan said that if we can't complete the task, we don't have to go back."

Although he spoke very softly, everyone could hear him clearly in the silence of the night. Yes, retreating is certain death, and there is still a sliver of vitality in advancing. Even if there is no vitality in advancing, so what, at least they think that death is well deserved , an honorable death.

Tuyuhun's cavalry suddenly let out a roar of anger, and then rushed towards Li Hao and the others.

Li Hao's pupils contracted immediately, and he shouted sharply: "The bow and arrow are ready!"

All the members of the Huotou army took off their bows and arrows one after another, and fired a volley, and immediately many Tuyuhun cavalry fell to the ground, but this was nothing to the 300-man cavalry.

The Hutou soldiers were about to shoot again, but Li Hao knew that there was no chance, and the two sides were only 50 meters away, so he immediately ordered: "Take the weapon and kill!"

"Kill!" The Huotou soldiers burst into fury, everyone rushed out on horseback, only Li Hao stayed behind.

Why Li Hao didn't rush, because he arranged an important task for himself - beheading.

The so-called shoot people first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first, capture the king first. They hit more with less, and the odds of winning are too small. Only by killing the leader of the opponent first can they have a chance.

He quickly searched among the chaotic army with binoculars, and soon found a general in red armor, who should be their leader. He rode forward, took out a fish dart slingshot, and quickly approached that general.

The distance between the two sides was not far, and soon, the general entered Li Hao's shooting range. Li Hao suddenly pulled the slingshot and threw his left hand. Suddenly, a chopstick-long arrow was nailed into his forehead, which was Li Hao's fish dart.

The red-armored general's eyes were distracted, he shook and fell off his horse, and someone among the Tuyuhun cavalry exclaimed: "General Mu Jishan is dead!"

This sound was no less than a blockbuster, and all the Tuyuhun cavalry were stunned. Their general died just after the war started, so how can we fight this!
Sure enough, snakes can't do without a head. Without the command of the leader, the Tuyuhun cavalry was in a mess. When the Huotou army learned that the enemy leader was ambushed, they immediately became more and more courageous, and then a strange scene happened. 80 people After chasing more than 200 people for five or six miles, the 20 cavalry in Tuyuhun were killed and only 20 people remained. The [-] people fled quickly. Li Hao knew that he could not catch up, so he ordered his troops to withdraw and go back. Cleaning up the battlefield, anyway, their goal has been achieved, and they fought a beautiful battle.

When cleaning the battlefield, the brothers in Huotouying were very excited. They thought they could only cook in Huotouying for the rest of their lives, but they never expected that they would make such a great contribution and win a big victory with [-] vs. [-]. This victory can definitely become the capital of their bragging for the rest of their lives.

Li Hao didn't participate in cleaning up the battlefield, but just stood quietly by the side, looking at the corpses all over the ground, and said nothing. This was the first time he personally participated in a war, and that feeling...was really bad, so... …the war was so bloody and brutal that, to be honest, he didn't like it.

Li Hao was in a daze, when Han Zheng ran over, smiling all over his face, "Li Hao, it's really thanks to you, your arrow was really accurate, by the way, what did you use to shoot that arrow?"

"Slingshot." Li Hao flashed his slingshot while speaking, and added confidently, "I am nicknamed Slingshot Xiao Li Guang, and there are many examples."

"Amazing! Awesome!" Han Zheng kept giving him thumbs up when he heard the words.

Li Hao was indeed a slingshot master in his previous life. He represented his city's Slingshot Association in the provincial slingshot design competition and won No.1. Later, the Slingshot Association gave him the title "Little Slingshot Li Guang".

There was too much movement on their side, the Grain and Grass team finally knew that there was indeed an enemy attack, and sent more than 200 people to support them, but they had already finished fighting, and even cleaned the battlefield, the Grain and Grass team just regretted it. An opportunity to make great contributions was missed.

The team member of the grain and grass team is a rough man in his early thirties, named Zhang Meng, who is really vigorous, with a beard all over his face. He was very surprised when he saw Li Hao, because Li Hao looked completely underage, but Such a minor led eighty Huotou troops to defeat Tuyuhun's three hundred cavalry, and it was a complete victory, which is simply amazing.

Passing by someone's territory, at least he had to say hello, Li Hao greeted Zhang Meng politely, and then took the Huotou army back. After all, more than a dozen brothers were injured, and two more were seriously injured , must be treated as soon as possible.

Li Hao took the Huotoujun brothers back to the barracks, returned the horses, and prepared to go back to the tent to get some anti-inflammatory medicines for the Huotoujun brothers to treat their injuries. However, when he arrived at the camp, he found Chen Laosan passed out on the ground, next to a pile of scattered The rope, Li Ping disappeared.

Li Hao suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave, cold from head to toe, he hurried forward to wake up Chen Laosan, Chen Laosan touched the back of his head, and screamed in pain, before he could speak, Li Hao hurriedly asked: "Where is the person?" What about Li Ping people?"

"He...he ran away!" Chen Laosan knew that he had messed up, and lowered his head shyly, feeling ashamed to face others.
