Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 434 Deja Vu
Zhang Cigong's face was hot, and he almost bit his own tongue.

Seeing Liang Xiao's black and gray face, tired people and horses, and a serious shortage of horses, which was completely inconsistent with Li Guangbu's grand battle with one man and three horses, he naturally thought that Liang Xiao must have lost the battle and lost all his belongings When it was all gone, this was the unscrupulous nonsense.

Who would have thought that the black ash on Liang Xiao's face was actually caused by burning the Huns' baggage, and burning two camps in one go.

No matter how ignorant people are, they also know that the Huns are powerful, and the possibility of defeating them head-on is very small. The only way is to destroy their logistics supplies and force them to withdraw by themselves.But the logistics are not so easy to destroy. The Huns will definitely be heavily guarded and guarded strictly. The risk of robbing the camp is very high.

At least Zhang Cigong himself did not dare.Although they had [-] riders, they were not sure to complete the task before the reinforcements from the Huns arrived.In fact, they couldn't bypass King Youxian's army at all, and they didn't even have a chance to attack.

But Liang Xiao did it. He burned down two large Hun camps with only [-] cavalry. He also controlled the casualties and only lost some horses.

Compared with the baggage of the two camps of the Huns, although the price of these thousands of war horses is not small, it is worth it.Under such circumstances, his cynicism seemed very stupid, Liang Xiao's raised fingers were like two knives, directly poking his eyes blind.

You have eyes but no eyes!Zhang Cigong blushed, wishing there was a crack in the ground so that he could slip in.

Liang Xiao and Cheng Bushi greeted each other and walked away.He is Li Guang's assistant general and does not need to report to Cheng Bushi.

Cheng Bushi's face was sullen and he didn't say a word.Of course he knew that Liang Xiao was unhappy.He was not happy either.Zhang Cigong clashed with Liang Xiao in front of him, and he didn't see him as the main general at all.If it wasn't for Wei Qing's sake, he would have had a fit on the spot.

"General..." Wei Qing was extremely embarrassed, and hurried forward to apologize.

"General Wei, I don't need to say more." Cheng Buzhi suppressed his anger and said slowly: "You came just in time, let's set up camp immediately. Although the Youxian King has retreated, Shanyu hasn't left yet. A great feat."

Wei Qing repeatedly agreed.

After discussing the battle arrangements with Cheng Bushi, Wei Qing left Cheng Bushi's tent of the Chinese army.He hurried all the way without saying a word.Zhang Cigong and Gongsun Ao followed closely, looked at Wei Qing's face, tried to speak several times, but failed to open his mouth.

After leaving the Chinese army, Wei Qing stopped in his tracks, turned around and glanced at them, and said in a deep voice, "Go back and prepare, Shan Yu will withdraw soon, whether you can make meritorious deeds, this is the last chance."

"Here." Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong hurriedly clapped their hands in response. "Zhongqing, where are you... going?"

"I'll go to Bo Ming to apologize." Wei Qing glared at Zhang Cigong. "You are my brothers, and Bo Ming is also my brother. You are not humiliating Bo Ming, but you are humiliating me."

Zhang Cigong was very embarrassed.Wei Qing waved his hand, got on his horse, and led Wei Tao towards Liang Xiao's camp.Zhang Cigong and Gongsun Ao glanced at each other, and cursed at the same time, extremely frustrated.

Wei Qing came to Liang Xiao's camp.The soldiers were camping, and Liang Xiao was checking the surrounding terrain. When he saw Wei Qing, Liang Xiao grinned and waved for Tu Niuer and others to disperse.Wei Qing jumped off the horse and cupped his hands apologetically. "Bo Ming, I'm really sorry. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Liang Xiao patted Wei Qing on the shoulder. "Zhongqing, you and I have known each other for many years, and I still don't know you. I know that they and you are dead friends, but now they are in the army, which is different from usual. They are so presumptuous, you should also take care of them, otherwise How to convince the public?"

"Yes, yes, it was my fault."

"Don't take everything on yourself. I know that men in the army are rough and bold, but we can't be so presumptuous. You and I are brothers, so you don't have to worry about it. If someone else can let him go so easily .” Liang Xiao paused for a moment, and then said, “You don’t get along well with General Li, do you?”

Wei Qing nodded with a wry smile. "Nothing can be hidden from you."

"Does it need to be said, General Li's temper, I know better than you. If Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong want to imitate him, they must have the capital. They are so arrogant now, and others either target them everywhere or think they are Relying on Mrs. Wei's relationship to be domineering, no matter what, it is not a good thing, especially for you."

Wei Qing let out a long sigh and frowned slightly.

Wei Tao came over, cupped his hands and said, "Liang Junhou, you are right. Zhongqing's identity is sensitive, and he was rejected by others, but what can he do? This time he went on an expedition, but the luck was unfortunate, so far. So far, I haven't really achieved any combat achievements, so please give me your advice."

Liang Xiao glanced at Wei Tao, his expression relaxed a bit.He knew that Wei Qing was not feeling well right now.History has changed, Wei Qing is overshadowed by his brilliance, and he no longer has the good luck of becoming famous in the first battle in history.If he can't do meritorious service and can't prove that the emperor is right to use him, it's really hard to say whether he will have such an opportunity next time.

"It's actually very simple to make meritorious deeds." Liang Xiao raised his lips and smiled. "If you want to hunt foxes, you must be more cunning than foxes. If you want to hunt jackals, you must be more vicious than jackals. Huns are characterized by speed, so you must be faster than him."

Wei Qing's eyes flashed. "You mean, reduce the number of cavalry and increase the speed?"

"That's right. We don't have as many cavalry as the Huns. You have to be faster than him to have a chance. Otherwise, you can only fight passively."

"However, in this way, we can only equip three thousand cavalry..." Wei Tao was a little worried. "Is three thousand riders too little?"

"General Cheng has captured some war horses, you can go and ask for them. You can ask him to arrange a lieutenant to cooperate with you. In addition, if it is a two or three hundred li raid, you don't need to bring much food and grass. One person and two horses are enough. Our army’s weapons and equipment are stronger than those of the Huns. If we have [-] cavalry, even if we meet the Huns with [-] cavalry, we will be able to fight against them. If we have the same strength, we should have more than [-]% chance of winning.”

Wei Qing nodded repeatedly.

"In addition, the Huns are accustomed to riding and archery, and they are not good at close combat. They are more equipped with fine armor, knives and halberds, to force a breakthrough, and give full play to the advantages of equipment as much as possible. Only when the Huns run away when they see you, can they hold the initiative in their hands. Fluctuations in morale have an impact on combat power that cannot be underestimated."

Wei Qing was filled with emotion. "Thank you Bo Ming, I'll do it now. I've made a contribution, and I'll buy you a drink when I get back."

"Thank you so much, hurry up and marry my junior sister." Liang Xiao half-jokingly said, "What's the matter with you hanging around like this?"

Wei Qing blushed. "It's not that I don't want to marry her, it's that I have no face. If I can be rewarded for my meritorious service, I will naturally do this."

"I hope so."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Han Yan yelled and rushed all the way into Chengming Hall.

The emperor turned around, his brows were furrowed, and his slightly pale face showed some displeasure.

"Your Majesty, good news." Han Yan rushed to the emperor and shook the military newspaper in his hand. "Good news."

The emperor's eyes flashed, and his anger turned into joy. "What good news, the Huns are gone?"

Three days ago, he received a report from Han Anguo's army that Li Guang and Wei Qing succeeded in attacking Lou Fan's king's army. Lou Fan's entire army was wiped out, and the two Xiongnu kings occupying Henan were all defeated.But the situation was not so good. The Xiongnu Shanyu and King Youxian led [-] fine cavalry to rush to take back Henan.It's okay for Han Anguo to guard the Shimen Barrier, but Cheng Bushi in Daze is very dangerous.

Once the Huns defeated Cheng Buzhi's tribe and Han Anguo was alone, Henan would be lost again, and all previous efforts would be wasted. Maybe the Huns would take the opportunity to retaliate and invade the border counties, and they might even reach Chang'an.

The battle situation has reached the most critical moment, but the emperor has nothing to do.For a short time, he had no more troops available, especially cavalry.He can only pin his hopes on the generals on the battlefield.

From another point of view, he was a little ecstatic.Facing the Huns, the biggest trouble for the Han army was that there were not enough cavalry to capture the main force of the Huns.This time I accepted Liang Xiao's suggestion and aimed to take the land of Henan. As a result, the Huns came on their own initiative, and the Han army fought against the main force of the Huns without even going out of the fortress.If a large number of Huns can be killed or injured, even if the casualties are greater, it will be an unprecedented victory.

Of course he also hoped that the Han army would win a big victory, but he knew better that this possibility was too small.Undefeated is already the best result.

With this expectation, the emperor opened the military newspaper and quickly glanced at it.

Yan Zhu and others surrounded him, watching the emperor's expression nervously.They breathe and share fate with the emperor.If the situation in Northern Xinjiang is unfavorable, they will be under the greatest pressure.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, followed by the corners of his mouth, a smile slowly bloomed from the corners of his mouth, and then rippled quickly.

"Okay! Good fight!" The emperor was so excited that he waved his arms vigorously, with great force. "As expected of a wonderful talent trained by Lord Huan. Haha, this time, even General Li will be inferior."

After hearing this, Yan Zhu and others were relieved, and hurriedly congratulated the emperor.General Tianzi reported to them, turned around and walked outside the hall, opened his arms and let out a long roar.

"We won, we won, we won—"

Seeing this, the officials on duty in the corridor turned around in unison, faced the emperor, stroked their chests and bowed, shouting long live.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

After reading the military report, Yan Zhu's eyes flickered, and he immediately forwarded the general report to King Wuqiu Shou.He walked quickly to the side of the emperor, and said with a soft smile: "Your Majesty, Liang Xiao is really good at surprise attacks, and this time he seized the opportunity again."

"Of course." After being nervous for so many days, the Son of Heaven suddenly received the good news, and he was ecstatic and a little speechless. "He is a general in my eyes."

"Your Majesty's discerning eyes are comparable to extraordinary people." Yan Zhu said with a smile: "I have a sense of déjà vu when I watch Liang Xiao's use of troops, but I just can't remember it for a while. Do you have an impression, Your Majesty?"

"Déjà vu?" The emperor was taken aback. "Among my famous generals, is there anyone who uses troops like this?"

"There seems to be no Han generals." Yan Zhu put away his smile and stared at the emperor with burning eyes.

The emperor thought for a while, and suddenly came to his senses. "You mean..." He rolled his eyes and then changed his words. "No no, it's impossible."

Yan Zhu looked hesitant to speak. "Your Majesty, I don't think it should be. However, I'm from Wu, Huan and Zhongli, these two surnames, plus this superb cavalry tactics..."

The smile on the emperor's face faded away, and the corners of his eyes twitched, revealing a little uneasiness.
