Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 92
A large tribe in the west, the Marquis of Gudu is handling military affairs with the generals in the room.At this time, footsteps came, and a Hun soldier knelt down on the ground, and his tone seemed a little hasty: "Daqiequ urgently reports that [-] Donghu soldiers and horses raided the land where the grain was stored, and asked the Marquis to send troops to help quickly."

"Donghu?".Gu Duhou was slightly startled, he didn't expect Donghu to really come.

All the generals of the Xiongnu were in an uproar, asking for a fight endlessly: "The Lord Hou will call for a fight at the end."

"There are only [-] soldiers and horses in the place where the food is stored. If our department does not rescue quickly, I am afraid that the food and grass will be lost."

"If Donghu has only [-] troops, Donghu will be defeated under the attack of our troops."

"This rescue should be done sooner rather than later, and I ask Lord Hou to make a quick decision."

Marquis Gudu weighed in his mind for a while, and then hammered the case hard: "This time, we must defeat this Donghu army in one fell swoop. Make sure that our army does not lose food and grass."

"Follow orders".A group of generals stood up to take orders, then turned around and filed out.

The long horn sounded, and countless Hun soldiers gathered.Marquis Gudu took the lead and stood in front, and then the generals of the Huns rode their horses and stood behind them.Not long after, seeing that the army had assembled, Hou Gudu slapped his horse heavily on his horse's back and led [-] Hun cavalry roaring away.

A biting chill spread from the sky, and the two armies collided fiercely.All of a sudden, the sound of swords and soldiers was everywhere, and countless soldiers flocked to the fighting place one after another.

Marquis Gu Du rode a horse and stood among the Xiongnu's army, his eyes fixed on the front, his brows gradually raised.The two armies have been fighting for half a day, and they are worried about the place where the food is stored, and they don't know what happened.

The generals behind were getting anxious, and hurriedly saluted Guduhou: "Your Majesty, time is running out, and the last general suggests that the whole army attack at this time. Make sure to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Go to the place where the grain is stored to make a rescue."

"The two armies are evenly matched. It is probably not a good strategy to attack rashly at this time."Although Gu Duhou was anxious in his heart, he was suppressed by reason in the end.

The generals were silent for a while. At this time, some cavalry rushed over, and before they arrived, an anxious voice came: "Report to Lord Marquis, the left and right armies of Donghu are bypassing the battle ahead and directly attacking our army. The army rushed."

"Too much deceit, Master Hou will wait for the fight."All the generals were furious and asked for orders from Gudu Hou.

Gu Duhou didn't turn around, his eyes were still staring at the battle ahead, and his voice floated behind him with the biting cold wind: "Send the order, the left and right armies go to meet the enemy."

"Follow orders".Two generals heard the military order, slapped their horses and galloped towards the two phalanxes on the left and right.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of slapping the horse's back sounded, and the two phalanxes on the left and right rushed forward.Time passed unconsciously, and one after another, a thousand-man phalanx rushed to the battlefield.

Gu Duhou raised his head and looked forward. A smile flickered at the corner of his mouth when he saw that there was only a thousand-man phalanx in the Donghu army in the battleground.Now is the time to let all this end, and then he slapped his horse and took the remaining Hun cavalry to the battle ahead.

Just when the Xiongnu cavalry was about to arrive, the sound of gold ringing came from behind the Donghu army, and countless Donghu cavalry left their opponents and fled to the rear.

Seeing this, Gu Duhou was slightly astonished.I don't know why Donghu withdrew so decisively, thinking of this, he quickly pulled back his horse.

Seeing this, all the generals of the Xiongnu couldn't help being a little anxious, and they all spoke up.

"Master Hou, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it at this time, why are you stagnating?"

"Time is running out, please don't hesitate, Lord Hou."

"Morale can't be discouraged, so I ask Lord Hou to think twice."

Gu Duhou turned his horse's head and looked at the generals: "Things are abnormal, there must be fraud in them."

"Master Hou knows that the place where food is stored is at stake, even if there is a fraud, we have to go."The generals began to persuade.

Gu Duhou turned his horse's head back again and looked at the Hun cavalry: "Send an order to regroup and send scout horses to closely scout the road ahead in case there is an ambush ahead."

"Follow orders".Several soldiers ran quickly, and a Hun soldier learned the military order and assembled quickly.

Not long after the [-] troops were assembled, Gu Duhou nodded in satisfaction and led the army forward slowly.

Twenty miles ahead, a general came galloping fast with a large army on a horse. Seeing Zhou Yafu on the horse, he quickly saluted: "General, our army failed to lure the enemy. The Huns cavalry have avoided the ambush. Follow here."

"Failed to lure the enemy?".Zhou Yafu looked at the general and the Donghu servants behind him, his eyes full of doubts.

The general hurriedly explained: "According to the general's plan, we led an army of [-] to meet the enemy, and suddenly withdrew our troops when the two armies were fighting fiercely. As a result, the enemy general saw through, and we were on the verge of failure."

"The failure is on the verge of success. It seems that our army still needs to use some thought to swallow this Hun cavalry in one fell swoop."Zhou Yafu showed a hint of interest.

Seeing that Zhou Yafu was not angry, the general breathed a sigh of relief: "General, our army has [-] troops at this time, which is far more powerful than the enemy's. If we want to win, why should we set up an ambush?"

"It's easy to win, but have you ever thought about how many soldiers and horses our army will have left after this battle?"Zhou Yafu asked the general back.

The general thought that Zhou Bo in the south was leading an army to fight against the Huns' governor and head of the Huns, and suddenly fell silent.

Seeing that the general did not speak, Zhou Yafu looked forward, and a thought suddenly appeared: "At this time, the large-scale tribal garrison in the west must be empty. The general ordered you to quickly notify the [-] ambush soldiers to seize the tribal garrison."

"promise".Hearing the military order, the general quickly turned his horse's head and galloped forward.

Zhou Yafu watched the army go away, a smile flashed across his mouth, and immediately ordered: "Pay close attention to the movement of the Huns cavalry, and inform this general."

"promise".Dozens of probing horses bowed to take orders and galloped forward.

A Xiongnu cavalry galloped quickly on the snowy ground, and saw the Marquis of Gudu accidentally fell off his horse: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, five thousand Cavalrymen from Donghu raided the tribe. Fall into the enemy's hands".

As soon as the voice fell like a thunderstorm, it rang through the minds of Guduhou and the generals of the Xiongnu, and a piercing pain spread from their hearts.

A Hun general with red eyes said, "Your Majesty, the last general please order to take back the tribe."

"The enemy general is forcing me to divide up my troops, this is absolutely unacceptable."Hou Gudu resisted the pain in his heart and rejected the generals' request.

The generals of the Xiongnu got off their horses one after another and knelt down on the ground: "There are [-] troops in the place where the food is stored, and it is not a problem to stick to it for half a month. But my family is in the hands of the enemy without any delay. Please return to the army for rescue."

"Forgive me for being disrespectful, Lord Hou is squeezed out under the tent of the governor of the capital, so why bother to work hard for them to guard the food and grass."Seeing that Gu Duhou was unmoved, the generals hurriedly spoke again.

How could the Marquis of Gudu fail to understand the meaning of the generals' words: "Send the order, and the whole army will return to aid."

"Follow orders".The generals were overjoyed and quickly got on their horses.He slapped the horse's back heavily, and led [-] Hun cavalry to rush back.
