Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 419
Liang Xiao accompanied Li Guang to Cheng Bushi's camp.As soon as they met, Li Guang took two steps forward, took Cheng Bushi's hand and shook it vigorously, and laughed loudly: "Old Cheng, did you have a good fight this time?"

Cheng didn't know but didn't answer the question. "Old Li, which game are you playing? Fifteen thousand horses defeated [-] Huns and the victory was so easy. It's really eye-opening. To tell you the truth, the one who just heard the news At that time, I was sweating for you."

Li Guang smiled even more happily. "Old Cheng, I accept your kindness. To tell you the truth, it's not my idea, it's this kid's idea." Li Guang pulled Liang Xiao to Cheng Bushi, without hiding his appreciation. "After the forced landing on King Xiutu, we seized [-] Hun war horses. According to my opinion, all those who can ride horses should go into battle, and at least [-] horses can be assembled. But he insisted on three horses per person. I can't help him, so I have to listen to him of."

Cheng Bushi was a veteran general for many years, so he understood the reasoning of it as soon as he heard it.He stroked the short beard under his jaw and nodded repeatedly. "Liang Junhou, this is your experience in the Western Regions. One man and three horses, such a luxurious cavalry configuration is rare even for the Huns. Only you, Liang Junhou, can do it."

Liang Xiao gave a salute with a smile. "General Cheng, you are a senior, so you don't need to laugh at me like a gentleman? If you think of a kid, you can call me by the same name as General Li."

Cheng Bushi nodded with a smile. "Since the prince is so humble, I, Old Cheng, would be more respectful than obedient." He glanced at Li Guang, and said half-truthfully, "Lao Li, this time you have your wish, two great victories, and the title is a certainty." , then you can’t be stingy, you have to buy wine for three days.”

Li Guang laughed loudly, patted Cheng Bushi's hand vigorously, and squeezed his eyes. "Old Cheng, don't rush to plot against me. I have merit, but you have no merit? When the time comes, we will become marquises together. If you eat mine, I won't eat yours?"

Cheng Buzhi shook his head with a wry smile. "What about me, I have made some contributions, and Fenghou is probably not as good as a fool."

Liang Xiaodao: "The general is loyal to the country, regardless of personal gain or loss, he first sent Wei Qing and others to assist General Han, and then personally led his troops to assist General Li. Strategic intentions, His Majesty will definitely not treat the general badly."

"Hehe." Cheng Bushi laughed twice and declined to comment.In his opinion, Liang Xiao was just comforting him.Although the rule that you can't be a Marquis without meritorious service has been broken long ago, for a warrior like him who has no family background, I am afraid that few people will stand up to speak for him.Li Guang was lucky, he had subordinates like Liang Xiao to give advice and help him earn military exploits, but he didn't have such luck, so he had to accept his fate.

When Li Guang saw him, he laughed loudly and pulled Cheng Bushi to his seat. "Old Cheng, I came here today just to discuss with you. You see, we fought this battle together. When we repay our merits, we will also repay it together. How about it?"

Cheng Buzhi was taken aback, and looked at Li Guang in surprise, a little unable to believe his ears.Jointly report meritorious service?The dangers of doing so are not small.If the number of beheadings is divided, not only him, but even Li Guang may not get enough military merit.This is the time he has the most hope of becoming a marquis, is he willing?
"Don't look at me like that." Li Guang knew it well, and laughed twice. "It's true that I'm reluctant, but I can't take advantage of your old Cheng, don't you think? Brothers have to settle accounts, whoever deserves it, and if the head is not enough, let's chop it off again. Bai The king of sheep is gone, isn’t the king of Lou Fan still running away? Think of a way to kill all these 2 people, wouldn’t that be enough?”

Cheng Bushi was overjoyed, and his depression was swept away.Li Guang offered to share the credit with him, what else could he say.Li Guang was right, if he could annihilate all [-] cavalry of Lou Fan's royal army, the number of beheads would be about the same.If the emperor is in a good mood and relaxes the conditions a little bit, it is entirely possible for several of them to be named marquises together.

"Old Li, you're a man." Cheng Bushi blushed with excitement, and shook Li Guang's arm vigorously. "I thank you on behalf of my soldiers."

"Hahaha, why are you being so polite? Without your help, it would be very difficult for us to win." Li Guang was in a good mood and couldn't stop laughing.

Cheng Buzhi then called all the generals to discuss the matter and conveyed Li Guang's suggestion to all the generals.After hearing this, the generals were all ecstatic.They didn't dare to count on being a Marquis, but none of them wanted to fight desperately, only to watch others receive the reward in the end.If Li Guangzhen is not willing to share, they have nothing to do. After all, the imperial court system is in place. Now that Li Guang is willing to share the credit with them, there is no reason for them not to do so.

All of a sudden, morale was high, everyone was friendly, and compliments were heard endlessly, which made Li Guang smile.

Taking this opportunity, Cheng Bushi and Li Guang discussed how to wipe out Lou Fan's royal family.You say a word, I say a word, everyone is working hard, and we must work together to fight a beautiful battle and make up enough heads.

Excitement is all about excitement, but it is not an easy task to really wipe out Lou Fanwang.

This is related to the topography of the stone barrier.

Shimenshui passes through the Yin Mountains, and there are mountains on both sides that are not conducive to marching.King Loufan occupied the mountain pass. If he wanted to escape, the Han army would not be able to stop him even if they had enough cavalry. The best result was to gather all the cavalry to pursue him.

Thirty thousand against [-] can win, but it is difficult to completely wipe out. Once you encounter other Hun tribes, it is really uncertain who will die.

"It would be great if we could intercept him in the upper reaches of Shimen Water." Cheng Bushi clenched his fists in frustration, and tapped his legs lightly. "It doesn't take much, as long as [-] infantry line up, it is enough to block King Loufan to death in the mountain."

"I'm afraid it's too late. By the time you reach the upstream, he might have already run away." Li Guang was also a little angry.If the royal family of Lou Fan cannot be wiped out and the number of beheads is not enough, many people will be affected. "How about I go?"

"Array with cavalry?" Cheng Bushi responded suspiciously.

Li Guang smacked his lips, feeling a little uncertain.Riding against riding, he has no certainty of winning.Using riding instead of walking, insufficient equipment, and greatly affected combat effectiveness.Moreover, it would be too wasteful to use cavalry as infantry.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

Liang Xiao couldn't find any good way, he thought hard, but he couldn't find a good way to defeat the enemy.Speaking of which, the number of war horses is still not enough.It would be great if we could have 70 or [-] war horses like Datang, and even infantry could use horses instead of walking.

Travel by horse?Liang Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, like waking up from a dream.Although it was impossible for him to conjure hundreds of thousands of war horses out of thin air, it was still possible to provide Cheng Bushi with horses for transportation in a short period of time.

"General, I have a solution, maybe it will work."

"You have a solution?" Li Guang and Cheng Bushi exchanged glances, and said in unison: "Quickly tell me."

Liang Xiao stood up and went out, bowing his hands to Li Guang and Cheng Bushu. "General, we have a lot of spare horses, and we have captured a lot of war horses just now. It is roughly estimated that there are at least [-] spare horses. If we provide the [-] spare horses to General Cheng, let the soldiers under his command March on horseback, go around to the upper reaches of the Shimen River..."

All the generals present here are experienced generals. After halfway through Liang Xiao's words, they understood.

Let the infantry march on horseback, and the speed can be at least doubled.Even if some infantry's riding skills are not good enough to participate in the battle, there is no problem in marching on horseback. If it is not possible, they can be tied to the horse's back, as long as they don't fall off the horseback.

Moreover, this section of the road is not too far away, it is five or six hundred miles, if you travel day and night, you can reach it in two days.In order to be able to make meritorious deeds and be rewarded, what is the pain of two days of bumps?
If this is the case, the problem of infantry marching speed is solved, and there is no need to replace infantry with cavalry, the duration is not long, and the loss of horsepower is limited, so it will not have a fatal impact on subsequent operations.

Cheng Bushi was overjoyed, and Li Guang was even more inexplicably excited.Liang Xiao was his subordinate, it really made him proud to propose such an ingenious plan.

The opportunity was never to be missed, Li Guang and Cheng Bushi quickly made a decision: two joint operations, Cheng Bushi's palms, Li Guang's cavalry, and [-] cavalry rushed to the upper reaches of Shimen River at the same time. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, Thousands of soldiers who were seriously injured were all left behind, led by Gongsun Rongnu, who already had the capital of a feudal lord, to cooperate with Han Anguo in action.For him, this is also a rare opportunity, not every lieutenant has the opportunity to command thousands of people.

The plan has been made, Cheng Bushi and Li Guang jointly wrote a military report to Han Anguo, hoping that Han Anguo would find a way to hold Loufan Wang down and buy them time.

The message sent that night, Han Anguo's reply letter arrived the next morning.He agreed to Li Guang's and Cheng Bushi's plan, retreated in due course, and launched an attack three days later.

Li Guang and Cheng Bushi acted immediately, ten thousand cavalry and twenty thousand infantry rode on horses and dragged chariots, and rushed westward.

-

Wei Qing galloped his horse, let go of the bowstring, and a feathered arrow galloped out. The fleeing Xiongnu scout was hit by the arrow and fell off the horse.

Several guards dismounted from their horses, held down the Xiongnu scout, and dragged them to Wei Qing.

After interrogation, Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the prisoners to be dragged down and detained together.In the past two days, they have captured nearly a hundred Xiongnu scouts.Judging from the information obtained during the interrogation, King Loufan has not yet figured out the situation of King Aries.The disappearance of Li Guang and Cheng Bushi's [-] Buqi did not attract his attention.

He probably thought that the Aries King had successfully blocked Li Guang and Cheng Bushi, sharing the pressure for him, but he didn't know that the Aries King was completely defeated, and Li Guang and Cheng Bushi were rushing to follow his back.

It's no wonder that the Aries King has [-] cavalry, and Li Guang and Cheng Buzhibu combined only have [-] cavalry. There is no advantage. It may be possible to win the situation. If they have completely defeated the Aries King, let alone King Lou Fan didn't believe it, even Han Anguo, Wei Qing and other generals of the Han army couldn't believe it when they first received the news.

The Huns' contempt for the Han army has been endorsed by decades of victories, and it has been deeply rooted. How can it be eliminated overnight.

"This Wu'er is quite a chicken thief." Wei Tao rushed over, grinning non-stop. "Tricking the Huns like fools."

Wei Qing got off the horse, touched the saber on his waist, glanced at Wei Tao, and said with a soft smile, "Are you envious?"

Wei Tao laughed twice. "Why do I envy him? If you follow you, won't you be able to make meritorious deeds? I said, King Loufan is about to die, so you don't plan to grab his head?"

Wei Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and he was silent for a moment. "Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky, how can it be won by fighting for it."

Wei Tao pouted disapprovingly. "Then according to what you said, we might as well play in Chang'an and wait for wealth to fall from the sky, so why come here?"

"Come here..." Wei Qing pulled out half of his saber, his eyes shrinking slightly. "It's because I want to use the saber in my hand to prove His Majesty's wisdom, so as not to be criticized. If Liang Xiao refuses to do things that affect the overall situation due to personal interests, I will do them?"
