Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 151 Destruction

The sun sets and the sky is full of yellow sand.

It was the third day that Huo Qubing brought people to Xiguan, and he stayed in the border town for three days without any action.

Zhang Jun, the prefect of Xiguan, was in his fifties, with thin cheeks and a slightly concave cheekbone on one side. It is said that the scars left by arrows brushing his cheeks in battle when he was young.

His combat style is not weak on both offensive and defensive ends, and his army is steady.

The Li family in Longxi is a common surname, and Zhang Jun's mother's surname is also from the Li family.

Knowing that Huo Qubing brought the princess to the border, Zhang Jun was horrified, and came from the county town of Border County in person, and asked Huo Qubing and Liu Qing to give advice many times.

The meaning is only one, I hope that the champion Hou will pay attention to the safety of the princess and not leave the customs.

"Champion Hou is young and energetic, and he doesn't know the situation in Xiguan. The complexity is more complicated than that of the Xiongnu. The Huns are like wolves, while the Qiang people are like vicious foxes. They are more cunning and cunning, and rarely fight us head-on. Xiguan has been troubled by it for many years. And there is no good strategy, it can be seen.”

Zhang Jun and Zhang Qian are familiar with each other, and they are complaining to each other.

Zhang Qian said: "Champion Hou has come all the way, and the march is indeed like a thunderbolt. But no matter what, he shouldn't let the princess take risks.

If there is any discrepancy, we will all be sentenced to death. "

"Have you ever talked to the princess and explained the stakes?" Zhang Jun said sadly.

Zhang Qian said: "How could you not tell me, I have visited the princess several times.

But the champion and the princess are husband and wife, no matter what I say, the princess only said that she is married to her husband, and she trusts the champion.

How do you say this is good? "

Zhang Jun gritted his teeth: "If there is no other way, I will secretly arrange a group of soldiers and horses. You are also the one who led the soldiers through Xiguan. The soldiers and horses I sent secretly followed behind your exit team, protecting the princess along the way.

In case of accident, you send out a signal, and they will come forward to help immediately, and there is still time. "

Zhang Qian frowned: "Although it is a strategy, it may be difficult to implement. The champion Hou Xingjun... your people may not be able to keep up."

The two were talking in a car, and the destination was a courtyard where the princess temporarily lived in the city.

The two also tried their best to come to see Liu Qing and try to lobby.

"Before you came out of Chang'an, what did His Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty told me to go west with the Champion, and obey orders along the way."

Zhang Qian sighed: "Your Majesty has so much trust in the Champion, you should have heard about it long ago, otherwise Your Majesty would not marry the jewel of my great Han clan to the Champion."

When they got there, the two got out of the car.

It was already dark, so the two climbed up the steps of the princess's mansion and asked the concierge to report.

Not long after, the two saw Liu Qing wearing a red fairy dress in the main hall of the mansion.

"I have seen Princess Ping Xian." The two performed the ceremony together.

After Liu Qing let the two sit down, Zhang Jun put his hands on his knees, leaned his upper body forward slightly, and got straight to the point:
"When we came here, we still wanted to dissuade the princess. I heard that the champion will leave the West Pass tomorrow. He is the doctor's order, and he has an order from His Majesty. We can't stop it. But I want to tell the princess not to follow the champion to leave the pass.

The walls of Beiguan City are strong and thick, as long as they are inside the pass, the veterans are sure to protect the princess. "

"Don't worry, Eunuch Zhang, I won't leave the customs with my husband... at least not tomorrow." Liu Qing said softly.

Zhang Jun let out a long breath, and felt that something was wrong: "Tomorrow won't...what do you mean?"

"My husband has already taken people out of the city after it got dark. I don't want to cause trouble for him, so I stayed here first. He said he cleared the obstacles outside and came back to pick me up. It will take a few days, so I still have to stay here Wait for a while." Liu Qing smiled.

Zhang Jun looked dull.

You and your wife are having a good time, how many days are you going to wipe out the foreign rangers outside?
At this moment, a defender in the city came over and whispered in Zhang Jun's ear to report.

It was the champion Hou who was talking about going out of the city. Because his official position was much higher than that of the local guards, even the frontier troops were under his control, so no one dared to stop him.

In addition, more than a hundred frontier troops were recruited by him, and they also went out of the city together.

"Champion Hou only brought two hundred forbidden troops and more than a hundred frontier troops, and he has already left the customs?"

"The Forbidden Army brought by Champion Hou is less than 300, and together with the [-]-sided Army, there are only [-] troops." The soldier said.

Liu Qing interjected: "My husband left sixty imperial guards to protect me, but he took away 140."

Zhang Jun stood up suddenly, with a serious face: "Which direction is the champion going? Quickly lead the troops to follow. Outside the city, the forces are intertwined, and there are often sentries watching the people entering and leaving the city. Even if they leave the city secretly in the night, it is difficult to guarantee Not known."

The soldier who reported said: "The Captain Guo on duty also thought of this and wanted to send someone to follow.

But the troops led by Champion Hou melted into a cloud of fog when they left the city, and disappeared. Our people don't know where to go after them? "

Zhang Qian narrated on one side: "People who don't blame you, when the champion came, the marching method used was really ingenious, and it would be difficult to find it even if you didn't pay attention from three or five feet away."

Zhang Jun glanced at Liu Qing, paused his feet and said, "Thirty miles away from the border gate, there are not only the Qiangs, but also the cavalry of the Western Huns, who come in and out from time to time.

The Xiongnu and Qiang, as well as the Loulan and other tribes farther away, have colluded and plundered in many ways, and have disturbed our Hanguan for a long time.

Champion Hou underestimated the enemy too much, took the enemy too lightly, and went out with only a few hundred soldiers... Sigh. "

He looked at Liu Qing who looked normal, and thought to himself: Your husband-in-law is too arrogant, he will suffer a lot, maybe his life will hang by a thread, but this princess doesn't seem worried at all.

----

The bright moon hangs in the air.

"Butou, news came from the outpost that about an hour ago, a Han army indeed left the border town of Han.

But after they left the city, they used some kind of marching method of the Han people, and their traces were hard to find. "

150 miles away from the border, there is a pass where Mulangtuo brought two thousand Qiang people, and the Tibetan soldiers camped here, waiting for a long time.

The so-called pass refers to the critical point of the terrain, with yellow sand flying in the northwest and continuous low mountains on the ground.

The pass in front of them has high terrain on both sides, and the middle is concave like a river channel. It is one of the paths to go out of Xiguan and continue to the northwest. There are more sides.

Mu Langtuo judged that the number of the Han army was only two hundred, but since it was an imperial army, it must be elite.

So I will definitely choose this seemingly difficult pass, but it is actually safer, so I brought people to ambush in advance, hoping to make a surprise attack on the Han army.

Hearing that the other party had left the border town, Mu Langtuo lifted his spirits:
"It is possible to determine how many of them there are?
The marching method of the Han people is similar to our shamanism method, and there will be traces left when they use the marching method, so let people check carefully. "

"Yuto, who is good at tracking, is already looking for it. News will come soon.

There were about 300 Han troops leaving the customs. The news sent said that Yuanguan was composed of the imperial army and some frontier troops. "

"Three hundred soldiers, don't dress up as a merchant traveler...just want to go out directly?"

Mu Langtuo was cruel by nature, but he was not stupid. He thought to himself, "Would the Han frontier army not know about the danger outside the West Pass? If they knew, why didn't they remind the Han Chinese imperial army? I thought they would join forces with the frontier army, but only 300 people came out?

This matter is a bit unusual, I am afraid it is a fraud.

Pass the order down, no one is allowed to move without my order.Check out the situation first. "

Soon another message came: "Yutuo, who is proficient in tracking methods, failed to find the trace of the Han army."

"Yutuo's nose is more sensitive than a wolf's, so he didn't find that Han army?"

Mu Langtuo thought about it for a while, but was a bit cleared up: "The other party dared to leave the pass with only 300 people. Most of them rely on this method of marching to hide their whereabouts. They want to pass through this northern pass secretly. It will be inconvenient if there are too many people."

"Explore again."

A quarter of an hour later, another message came.

The trace of the other party is still not found.

"It seems that there is no mistake. The Han army relied on the method of concealment to sneak past us. No wonder there are so few people. I think we can't find them."

Mu Langtuo said: "If they want to continue to go northwest, there are only two main roads, and the other small roads are difficult for horses to travel.

Anwa, you immediately take half of the troops, go to another road to guard, and use witchcraft to see if you can find the other party.If I find the other party, I will immediately bring someone to reinforce them.You and I use the message as a signal, if I find the Han army here first, you will lead your troops back to help me!
Never let them escape.

In addition, it is hard to say whether the other party has hidden traces after leaving the customs, and whether there are other hidden soldiers and horses, so be cautious.

According to the tome, if something is wrong, let them go first.

After leaving Beiguan, there are many opportunities to clean up and slaughter those Han troops. "

Anwa was his deputy. He was tall and thin, with a brown-red complexion. He was in his thirties, but his face made him look older than his actual age. Riding away.

The hoofs were thunderous.

Mu Langtuo fell into deep thought, that Han army... even Yuto, who was good at tracking, couldn't find it, so which way would he go?
Before he could think about it, he suddenly heard a muffled sound, as if something had collided suddenly.

A little farther away, just leading someone to ride away, only An Wa, the deputy who was two or three hundred feet away, walked out.In the middle of the team they were galloping, a team rushed out of the air without warning.

Everyone in this team is well-armored, holding a spear in hand, fighting out of the void like a whirlwind, and the spear flashes like a thunderbolt.

All of a sudden, there was a cold light, and the rushing team attacked extremely fiercely.

There was a sudden scream.

After meeting each other, the thousand-man team led by Anwa was torn apart from the middle by the opponent by surprise, breaking into two pieces.

No, not in two sections, because the team that suddenly appeared was in a horizontal plane, advancing side by side.A total of more than ten horsemen stood side by side, with a distance of three or four zhang from each other, like more than ten war spears, stabbing out of the void.

The eyes of the dozen or so riders were as cold as ice, and the moment they rushed out, they swung their spears and pierced through several Qiang rangers in succession.

Hot blood splashed out, and life and death were instant.

But the cavalry team that rushed out did not change their expressions. After one target was stabbed to death, they would immediately turn to the next target, showing amazing lethality and discipline.

As the number of the rushing team increased, it was discovered that behind the dozen or so people who rushed out were arrows.

No wonder the dozen or so people in front attacked so sharply, the Qiangs were defeated by a single touch, but it was the Han army in the rear that concentrated their power on the person in the front, so they were invincible and killed with every move.

In a blink of an eye, the line of more than a thousand people galloping in a line led by Anwa was torn apart by the impact.

The sound of the spear piercing through the Qiang man's body and rubbing against the bone sounds so clear!

A cavity of blood spilled on the loess.

Anwa's team was like a long snake, stabbed indiscriminately by more than a dozen spears from the flanks, the formation was in chaos, and it was hard to get out of the opponent's bite.

Seeing this scene from a distance, Mu Langtuo shouted in shock, "Han army, it's the Han army, kill them!"

The timing of the appearance of the Han army was actually not good. If we waited a little longer, the two armies on Mu Langtuo's side would be separated and it would be easier to divide and annihilate them.

But the Han army just chose the moment when the two teams separated, and rushed out brazenly, and their intention to kill the two teams at the same time was clearly revealed.

And it is to eat the other half of Mu Langtuo under Mu Langtuo's nose.

What kind of army is it that can be so brave!
Mu Langtuo watched as the Anwa team was crushed by the surprise attack in the distance, and in an instant it was the heavy casualties of Anwa's team, their hands and feet were cold.

He got on his horse and yelled, "Follow me!"

Surrounding him are the Qiang Rangers who have plundered merchants all year round and killed countless people, and they are not afraid of fighting the Han army.

However, these Qiang rangers, following Mu Langtuo to gallop for reinforcements at a distance of two or three hundred feet, witnessed with their own eyes that the team led by An Wa was stabbed, killed, and defeated.

When they rushed out of Baizhang, one-third of Anwa's men were already lying in a pool of blood.

The Han army turned a blind eye to the Qiang people who were approaching hundreds of feet away, and no one even took a look at Mu Langtuo's side, and just slashed and killed their opponents.

That kind of indifference and ferocity in the face of life and death made a chill subconsciously permeate the Qiang people who came to reinforce them.

You must know that there is a battle loss ratio in battle. When more than one-third of one's own personnel die, the psychological defense of most teams will be on the verge of collapse, and deserters will begin to appear.

It is a rare strong army that can survive the [-]% battle loss without being defeated.

The Qiang people are not lacking in fierce riding, and their riding skills are also superb.

But it is impossible for them to have a firm belief in combat. After all, they are rangers, and the benefits of looting come first, and there are almost no blood braves who will never retreat.

And it is a habit for them to withdraw when they encounter a strong enemy.

In the past, when fighting the Han army, they ran away when there were too many people, and the Han army retreated and then came back. This is their combat attribute.

When Gallop approached, he saw that half of the people were beheaded by the Han army. Whether it was the Qiang people who rushed to support or the Qiang people who were attacked by surprise, they all began to show signs of rout.

Fleeing in all directions, the number of people is increasing.

Mu Langtuo shouted angrily, but it was difficult to stop his subordinates from escaping.

Seeing that he was powerless, even when he himself was about to turn his horse and retreat, he saw a cavalry seem to come out of nowhere at the edge of the battlefield.

It was a frighteningly tall war horse, its muscles were bulging, and its huge hooves stomped on the ground.

The horse seemed very eager to charge up and join the fight.

The man on horseback was dressed in a reddish-brown official robe, and under the moonlight, there was a streak of blood.

Mu Langtuo's yelling at his subordinates stopped abruptly, and suddenly his hairs stood on end.

He saw the person coming out of the air, turning his head to look at him.
