Great Han Empire

Chapter 49 Yanzhao Fengyun
When Liu Yu saw Li Hong, he only said one sentence: "350 seven people, okay?"

Li Hong was ecstatic.He was so excited that tears welled up uncontrollably.He nodded desperately, unable to utter a word.

Li Hong wiped away his tears and kowtowed three times to Liu Yu.This seemingly ordinary old man, with his selfless mind and absolute trust, won Li Hong's determination to fight to the death.Even if blood is spilled on the battlefield, it will not hesitate.

When Li Hong walked out of Lulong Tower, he saw Xian Yufu and more than 300 soldiers standing beside the horses, neatly lined up in six rows.Seeing him coming out, Xian Yufu shouted loudly: "Salt to Lord Junhou!"

Xian Yufu and 350 soldiers knelt down on one leg at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Follow to the death..." The roar suddenly sounded in the empty square and went straight into the sky.

Li Hong's eyes suddenly became moist.His heart was beating violently, the blood in his body was boiling, and his lips were trembling, not knowing how to express his gratitude.

At this time, from the opposite side of the square, Tian Zhong hurried over with 28 soldiers who survived the Lulong Sai war.Seeing them all in armor, Li Hong stared blankly, at a loss as to what to do.

Tian Zhong and the 28 soldiers all knelt down in front of Li Hong.

"My lord led his troops deep into the tiger's den, how could he leave us and go alone."

"My lord, there are only 29 of us left in the Lulongsai frontier army, and we can continue to fight. If we die, we will die with your lord."

Tian Zhong suddenly raised the blood-stained banner of the Han Dynasty, and led the soldiers to shout loudly: "Follow to the death..."

Li Hong's tears finally couldn't be controlled and flowed down.

Liu Yu and Liu Zheng stood on the city tower, watching from afar, feeling very moved.

"Come here..." Liu Zheng suddenly turned around and shouted, "Give them the horses."

Li Hong helped Tian Zhong up, looked at his gray hair, and felt mixed feelings for a moment.A strong murderous aura suddenly surged into his heart.These hateful barbarians, if they don't invade, how can there be a war, and how can such an old man be used on the battlefield.

He stretched out his hand to take the battle flag from Tian Zhong's hand, walked to his horse with strides, and flew on the horse.

Facing faces full of fighting spirit and looking death at home, and soldiers who were fully armed and willing to follow him to the battlefield, Li Hong suddenly felt that even if he died, it was worth it.

"All on horseback..."

Li Hong roared: "Let's go..."

Holding the flag in his right hand, Li Hong rode at the front and led the soldiers through the gate of Lulonglou, onto Lulongsai Square, and walked towards the gate of Wangrilou.

After Liu Yu decided to send troops, Liu Zheng immediately ordered all the soldiers to start moving the earth bags blocking the city gate.After more than an hour of hard work by nearly [-] soldiers, the city gate was finally opened.Soldiers gathered around both sides of the square, silently bidding farewell to this group of brave and fearless warriors.

The soldiers sat on their horses and looked up at Luronce, perhaps for the last time.The sound of the horse's hoof stomping resounded through Lulongsai.

Suddenly, more than a dozen war horses rushed out from under the city of Lulonglou, and the knights beat their horses fiercely and chased after them.

"My lord, the next official is Yan Wuwei. He was a horse thief in the past, but now he is a superintendent. The next official admires your courage and is willing to follow your lord to kill the enemy."

Yan Wuwei was a tall, burly man with a long face and short beard. He looked like a fierce warrior.Looking at Yan Wuwei's resolute expression, Li Hong rode his horse and said gratefully: "You are violating military regulations..."

"I'm not afraid of death, what are the military regulations?" Yan Wuwei immediately interrupted Li Hong's words and said loudly.

Li Hong thought about it too, "Go to the back. Thank you."

Yan Wuwei happily agreed, led his men to turn the horse's head, and ran to the back of the team to keep up.

The drums of war on Lulong Tower suddenly sounded.

The sound of the drums was violent, like thunderclaps shaking the warriors who were about to go out.For a moment, their blood boiled with enthusiasm, their morale was like a rainbow, and the anger and fear accumulated in their bodies suddenly slanted out.

Li Hong raised the battle flag high, turned around and shouted loudly: "For the sake of the big man, kill..."

Li Hongdang rushed out of the tall Lulongsai city gate on his horse first.

The soldiers behind echoed in unison: "Kill..." Immediately afterwards, they shot out like a gust of wind.

Inspired by their pride, the soldiers on the square raised their arms and shouted: "Kill..." The shout resounded all over Lulongsai.

At dusk, the troops galloped for a hundred miles and arrived at an unknown hill.It is sixty miles away from Honghua Valley and forty miles away from Bailing Ranch.Li Hong ordered everyone to enter the mountain and hide to rest.Then he confessed a few words to Xian Yufu, and he rode out of the mountain alone, and went to the Bailing Ranch for reconnaissance.

Xian Yufu stood on the top of the hill, watching Li Hong's back gradually disappear from sight.

When Lord Inspector called him into Lulong Tower and told him about the plan, he was surprised at first. This kind of idea was too crazy to attack the Karasuma people's Bailing Ranch.More than 2000 Karasuma and Xianbei soldiers withdrew last night, and they went to attack tonight. The plan of a lunatic is incredible.Then came the shock.Because Liu Yu told him that there were only more than 300 soldiers of them, and there were no others.With more than 300 people to attack the ranch where more than 2000 soldiers are stationed, it is an incredible and impossible task, and if you go there, you will die.He didn't understand how the always calm and wise adults would agree to this plan.After he listened to Li Hong's detailed explanation, he could only say that he was convinced.This young man who is a few years younger than him is indeed a genius. His careful analysis, accurate judgment, and unconstrained ideas are beyond my reach.Convinced, he went out to gather the soldiers with confidence, determined to complete this crazy plan with Li Hong.

"My lord, why don't you come down and have something to eat?" The head of the village, Fu Qiang, walked to him and said softly.

Xian Yufu nodded and followed him into the woods.

"Have the horseshoes of the war horses been wrapped in cowhide? Are the horses' mouths covered with cages?"

"It's all done, my lord." Fu Qiang said in a low voice, "My lord, this Li Junhou has great courage and high martial arts. You can tell from his walking posture that he is a brave and fearless hero. He is a great person. Why didn't you listen to him in the past? ever said?"

"Why not? Do you always talk when I hear you?" Xian Yufu said with a smile.

"My lord, don't be ridiculous. I don't know him." Fu Qiang is a strong young man, he usually likes to joke, and he is also very familiar with Xian Yufu.He thought that Xian Yufu was joking, so he laughed.

"He is a leopard. People in Lulongsai call him Heizi, but he is a leopard hunted hard by Xianbei people."

Fu Qiang's eyes widened, "Really?"

Xian Yufu ignored him and continued on his own way.Fu Qiang laughed immediately, "It's amazing. The people in Lulongsai are amazing. Any scout can turn Xianbei upside down. No wonder tens of thousands of barbarians can't take down the fortress. It's amazing." He took it for granted that Li Hong was a spy, he was An undercover agent sent by Lu Longsai.

Fu Qiang's news caused a small shock.Except for Tian Zhong, all the soldiers were excited as if they had discovered the new world, gathered together in groups of three or four, discussing in low voices.

Yan Wuwei sat next to Tian Zhong, his eyebrows beaming, and he cursed all over the place.Tian Zhong couldn't take it anymore, so he said, "You are very excited to see the leopard before you die, aren't you?"

"That's right. In today's world, we can only see a few heroes of this kind in Yanzhao. Are there any other places?"

"Okay, okay, go to sleep, save your energy for killing people at night, okay?"

"Not good. When I was a horse thief, the leopard was running for his life in Xianbei. I heard a lot. Let me tell you more."

"You just joined the army?" Tian Zhong asked strangely.

"Yes. More than ten days ago." Yan Wuwei said carelessly.

"Did you know? You led your subordinates to leave the army privately and acted with the military marshal. For your undisciplined behavior, you will be beheaded."

Yan Wuwei opened his eyes wide, suddenly cursed fiercely, and said resentfully: "Then I'd better go back and be a horse thief."

Seeing Yan Wuwei suddenly lose his breath, Tian Zhong smiled secretly and fell asleep.

Xian Yufu sat quietly on the top of the mountain, waiting for Li Hong to appear.

A series of dull hoofbeats broke the tranquility of the night.

Xian Yufu stood up, turned around and ran into the woods, waking up several officers, "Get up, the military officer is back. Call the soldiers up and get ready to move."

The woods immediately became busy. Everyone packed up their luggage in the dark and led their horses down the mountain one after another.

Li Hongfei got off his horse, met Xian Yufu and several officers, and said softly, "Is everyone ready?"

Xian Yufu and the others nodded one after another.Fu Qiang and the others looked at Li Hong with admiration.Li Hong called them to squat on the ground, and under the faint moonlight, he drew a sketch of the pasture on the ground.

"Because the enemy withdrew overnight yesterday, the soldiers marched more than 100 miles back to the ranch, exhausted. Now they are all sleeping in the camp, even if there is thunder, they may not hear them. So tonight's sneak attack will be successful. Everyone can let go , do whatever you want."

"We were divided into two teams. Master Xianyu led 200 people to fight in from the north, and I led people to fight in from the south. This continuous back and forth uninterrupted charge gave the enemy the illusion of being attacked by a large force and completely collapsed them. Remember, Fast, fast. We're going to scare the enemy, and then they're afraid, and then they'll give up, they'll run, they'll surrender. Got it?"

"Understood." Several people said in unison.

"Go and call Yan Wuwei and Tian Changjing." Li Hong said to a messenger standing beside them.The orderly hesitated and did not leave.

Li Hong remembered something, and immediately laughed: "It's that old man with gray hair." Soon, Tian Zhong and Yan Wuwei ran over.

"This is the horse farm. The war horses are here, and they are all enclosed. Next to it is the hay field. Old man Chang Jing led ten people there. After finishing the soldiers guarding the hay field, he set fire to two stables to make the fire bigger. One point. Remember, only two stables can be burned. Once all the fodder is burned, the war horses will have no rations, and these war horses will soon become horse meat." The people around laughed softly.Tian Zhong happily agreed repeatedly.

He has followed many generals, and has always been an unknown groom, and no one has ever taken him seriously.But the young man in front of him, in such an important battle, let him take charge of a very important task. He has a sense of satisfaction of being valued and recognized.The old man was very excited.

"The fire should be bigger, so that the enemy will be more fearful, thinking that the other side of the racecourse is under our control, so they will not flee in the direction of the racecourse. Once they escape into the racecourse, it is a trivial matter to ride away a few horses, and they are afraid of scaring the horses." Qun, then things will be troublesome. This matter is very important, and old man Chang Jing must not make mistakes."

Tian Zhong nodded vigorously.

"Fearless, after you rush in with me, take your brothers and don't make contact with any enemies, and run directly to the Chinese army's tent at the fastest speed. To capture the thief, first capture the king, and first capture Wu Yan, the situation will be over." It's like controlling half of it. Do you understand?"

"Understood, my lord." Yan Wuwei nodded excitedly.It was the first time he fought a war, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. It would be strange not to be excited.

"Do you have any questions? If you don't know, I can explain. If you know what you want to do on the battlefield and how to do it, you will have confidence in the battle, and your confidence will double. Victory will naturally come naturally." Li Hiro said with a smile.

Everyone was infected by his relaxation and calmness, and the tension before the battle gradually faded away with the harmonious atmosphere of the conversation.Fu Qiang and the others immediately asked questions in a hurry.

Xian Yufu silently looked at the smiling Li Hong, and listened to his low-pitched and patient explanation, and felt that this man was not only a soldier on the battlefield, but also the soul on the battlefield.He was born to fight.Being with him always makes people full of confidence, hope, relaxation and happiness, and makes people feel the deep friendship between comrades-in-arms.

"Master Xian Yu, let's go." Li Hong stood up and said to Xian Yu Fu.Xian Yufu nodded, and beckoned to the soldiers behind, and everyone quickly mounted their horses.

Tian Zhong ran over with Tian Jing's steel gun.

"This is the captain's gun." Li Hong took it in surprise and whispered.This gun was simple in style, heavy, and swarthy. Under the dim moonlight, it gave off a gloomy murderous aura.

"This gun has been handed down to seven masters. They all sacrificed their lives for the country and died heroically on the battlefield. Eight years ago, on the battlefield of the Sunset War, Lord Tian took this gun from Lord Xia Yu and has been holding it ever since. It was used until yesterday. Master Tian asked me to give it to you before he died, and it can be regarded as a souvenir." Tian Zhong said sadly.

"Thank you. I will not disappoint Mr. Tian." Thinking of Tian Jing, Li Hong felt sore and very uncomfortable.

Tian Zhong patted him on the shoulder lightly, "This gun will definitely bring you good luck."

Li Hong looked at Tian Zhong gratefully, and nodded vigorously.

He flew on his horse and led everyone into the dark night.
