Lonely non-good minister

Autumn in the north always comes earlier. As soon as the autumn wind blows, the grass and trees will turn yellow. In a few days, all the greenery will recede. The wind that hits the face gradually becomes fiercer. The cold morning and evening Liang Wu was reminding Erlang stationed at the frontier that the year was coming to an end.

After a delay of more than a month, the Xiongnu began to make moves again. Small groups of Xiongnu frequently challenged the right wing of the northern army, but the northern army could not hold on.

"The Huns are not provoking, it is clearly a test. These people say they are resisting the Huns, but in fact they are just empty shells placed there. The camp is divided into several factions, and no one will submit to the other, and they will not respond to the enemy's situation. If this continues , once the Xiongnu learns of its internal situation and launches a surprise attack, it will be defeated."

"If they are defeated, the 3000 of us, even with firearms, will not be able to deter the Huns for long."

The deputy general who came with Zhou Ye couldn't help but feel anxious when faced with such a situation. Zhou Ye was naturally the same. However, after he refused to accept being incorporated into the northern army, he couldn't even enter the camp gate. Those people were fighting among themselves behind closed doors. He really Can't get involved.

"The commander of the northern army is missing. The imperial court should arrange for someone to come and take care of this. It has been so many days, so he should have arrived by now."

After Zhou Ye finished speaking, soldiers immediately came to report: "General, there are several people outside the camp, claiming to be the right guard deputy general of the northern army commander's tent sent by the imperial court. They want to see the general."

When Zhou Ye and others heard this, they immediately went out to greet them. Ning Yu and others were also brought in. They held each other's fists and greeted each other. Ning Yu took out his appointment documents.

"I am Ningyu, and I have been ordered to quell the riots in the army."

Zhou Ye found the appropriate document and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "The last general, Zhou Ye, is affiliated with the Northwest Army and serves as the forward general. He was dispatched by the commander to bring three thousand cavalry and firearms to scare the Xiongnu."

"General Zhou has been here for some time. He knows many things better than I do. I have just arrived. Considering the complicated internal situation of the northern army, I came here to inquire about the situation. I also want to ask General Zhou to help me."

"It's natural. Let's talk inside the tent, please."

They all entered the tent, and Zhou Ye made it clear what he knew. After hearing this, Ning Yu had the same idea as him.

"If the northern army fails to counterattack, the Xiongnu will definitely guess that something is wrong internally. However, under the current situation, it is unrealistic to suppress all conflicts in a short time. I am afraid that the Xiongnu will not give us too much. Time, so the top priority, I think, is to take the initiative to scare the Huns, so as to gain more time to deal with internal affairs." Ning Yu expressed his opinion.

Zhou Ye thought for a moment and then said: "As long as it is not a large-scale main force operation and is just a shock, we can do it. As for how to resolve the internal conflicts, the general will be helpless."

He is not from the northern army and it is inappropriate to intervene.

Ning Yu expressed his understanding: "I wonder if General Zhou has contacted the royal family?"

Zhou Ye shook his head: "The northern army is heavily guarded, and we have no way to enter the city. However, we also heard that the royal family members are now under confinement in the palace. Although these people rebelled and made trouble, they did not dare to touch the royal family members without permission, otherwise the meaning of the trouble would be lost. Changed." "Even so, we have to be prepared just in case. Before leaving, the Crown Prince repeatedly told us that we must ensure the safety of the royal family." Ning Yu pondered for a while: "You have to think about this matter carefully. It would be better if we could find the prince earlier."

Zhou Ye didn't say too much. Even though he had made many arrangements to find Song Run's whereabouts, until he found it, it was not suitable for him to take over the matter.

"When does General Ning plan to enter the camp?"

Ning Yu thought for a while: "I am alone and weak. Entering the camp now will be looked down upon. Many things will be inconvenient. If it is convenient for General Zhou, I plan to cooperate with General Zhou to teach the Huns a lesson before entering the camp." .”

"That's what I meant." Zhou Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Yu was not rash and had a method to do things. This was much better than a common man who only knew how to be strong.

They hurriedly discussed the details of the battle. As soon as it got dark that night, three thousand cavalry rushed out. Ning Yu did not use official coercion, and followed Zhou Ye to listen to his arrangements. The group of people took advantage of the cover of night and rushed straight to the Huns camp.

In order to build momentum, Zhou Ye did not press all the people together, but divided them into ten teams to attack from different directions. Ning Yu had never seen such a combat method. In his opinion, the personnel were too scattered. The attack power will be greatly weakened.

But as soon as the firearms were fired, his knowledge was refreshed. In the silent night, the Huns, disturbed by the firearms, hurriedly responded to the battle. Because there were enemies all around, they could not figure out the number of the enemy for a while, and there was a bonfire in the camp. Their position was completely exposed, the harassing cavalry hid in the dark, and the sound of horse hooves made the already panicked Xiongnu even more confused.

The Huns' bows and arrows had no chance of winning against firearms, and the unexpected explosions in the crowd made the Huns tremble. The tents were ignited one after another. They finally spotted the cavalry rushing in by the light of the fire. They roared and raised their scimitars to fight. When he wanted to meet the enemy, he was beheaded by the cavalry's long saber.

Every part of the camp was charged by cavalry. The Huns, who had already suffered a round of firearms suppression, were disheartened and their combat power was greatly reduced. The cavalry did not stop, but slaughtered and cleared the way like blades crossing the border. They rushed and left quickly, without any thought at all. Give the Huns a chance to gather their troops to counterattack.

They came and went quickly, and their extremely fast maneuverability and brutal fighting style opened Ning Yu's eyes. As soon as the sky dawned, the Huns camp retreated fifty miles, leaving only a mess on the ground.

The northern army also learned the news. Zhou Ye didn't know how they would react, but Ning Yu was very excited and borrowed a firearm from Zhou Ye to open his eyes.

"I have long heard that firearms are powerful, but I have never seen one. I just thought it was a more convenient weapon. Who knew it was a divine object, like thunder and fire from heaven and earth. Fortunately, this object is used by us." He couldn't put it down for firearms. : "It's a pity that except for the Northwest Army, no one else has a chance to see the firearms now."

Zhou Ye, who was wiping his armor aside, came over with a handkerchief: "Firearms will become more and more powerful. As long as you study hard, you can avoid a lot of suffering in future generations."

"Such a powerful thing naturally requires careful study. No one should think that this thing is not worth studying."

Zhou Ye smiled: "Investing a large amount of money will always make people feel that it is not worth it. Moreover, once you are far ahead for too long, you will think that you will always be at the forefront. Once you get lazy, let alone progress, you will lose your original position." It will be a problem to pick up any level and ability. Moreover, now we are just starting out, and everyone is watching closely, so every copper can be spent on the blade. As we get older, some unscrupulous people come in, and the court gives Ten taels of silver have been exploited and exploited at every level. I am lucky to have two coppers to spend on serious matters."
