Chapter 965

"Tomorrow I will personally lead [-] cavalry to raid the Han army's food delivery team, and I will trouble you to garrison the city to prevent the Han army from attacking." Wu Hetai said to Xituo.

"Don't worry!" Xi Tuo said in a deep voice.

The next day, Li Cunxiao led his troops out of the camp in the early morning and went to the nearby city to fetch food and grass.

Since Dawan is an agricultural country, although it is under the control of Guishuang, fortunately, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked Dawan, Dawan has not experienced war for hundreds of years, and it is located in the basin, with good weather.The common people are very rich, each family has surplus food, and a large amount of food has been accumulated in the city lord's mansion.

In a city, the food and grass raised by the people for the Han army was as little as [-] shi, and as much as [-] shi.One stone weighs four jun, and one jun weighs thirty catties, so eight hundred stones have ninety-six thousand catties of grain.

However, Li Cunxiao now has [-] soldiers with him. Since he is away on an expedition, the soldiers cannot supplement nutrition from vegetables and meat, and can only eat food to fill their stomachs. Therefore, a soldier eats about one and a half catties of food a day.In other words, the grain and grass raised by one city can supply the Han army for three days. As long as all the grain and grass raised in several nearby cities are taken, and the food and grass raised are frugal, it can last for about a month.

One month is enough to last until Zhao Yun arrives. In Xizhou, Cao Cao can also mobilize civilians to continuously supply food and grass to the Han army going to Dawan.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Cunxiao led his soldiers and horses to a city, took food and grass, and returned to the camp.However, on the way back, since the food escort was very slow, it would take at least night to return to the camp.

Time gradually came to noon, and Li Cunxiao led his troops to walk on the snow-covered road.

Suddenly, Li Cunxiao's ears moved, his eyes narrowed, and he shouted in a low voice: "There are soldiers and horses approaching, the whole army is on alert."

"General An?" Zhen Sheng opened his ears when he heard the words, but couldn't hear anything, so he couldn't help but looked at Li Cunxiao suspiciously.

At this moment, there has just been a heavy snowfall in Dawan, and the snow has not yet melted, and the snow on the road is very dry and hard.It will affect the soldiers marching and escorting food and grass, but the cavalry charge is easy to slip, so a layer of cloth should be tied on the horseshoe.

Under normal circumstances, the cavalry charging is very noisy, but when there is snow and the horseshoes are wrapped in cloth, even if the cavalry is only one mile away from you, it is difficult to hear the movement.

Zhensheng felt that his hearing was good, but after listening to it for a long time, he was still silent. He only felt that Li Cunxiao had heard it wrong.

"It's only five miles away from our army, and there are probably tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. You and other soldiers and horses guard the food and grass, and I will personally deal with the enemy." Li Cunxiao said with a calm face.

"Ten thousand people?" Zhen Sheng's face was startled, and he said quickly: "General An, let's abandon our food and grass and go back to the nearby city to hide. Ten thousand people, with only 2000 of us, I'm afraid we can't deal with it."

"It can't be dealt with, but it's more than enough to scare them away." Li Cunxiao shook his head and said, "You gather the food and grass as soon as possible, let the soldiers guard the food and grass, and the enemy will retreat with me."

Immediately Li Cunxiao looked at a school lieutenant and said: "You lead the remaining 500 people to rush to the left, and after a while, you will wave the flag and shout in the distance, bluffing."

Li Cunxiao only brought 2000 people, of which 500 were responsible for transporting grain and grass, and another 500 were on guard.

The captain took the order and led five hundred soldiers and horses to leave without hesitation.

Seeing Li Cunxiao's order, Zhensheng on the side felt his scalp tingle. There were only 2000 people, 500 were used to keep food, and the remaining 500 were used for fighting.Now that you have sent 500 people who can fight, are you planning to deal with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who came to raid by yourself?

But Li Cunxiao gave Zhensheng the answer, and saw that he urged the horse under his crotch, with Wang Yu in his right hand and Bi Yanluo in his left. His majestic body stood in front of the Han army, and it seemed that he wanted to stop the enemy army who came to make a surprise attack alone. .

"Crazy, the Han soldiers are all lunatics!" Seeing this situation, Zhen Sheng couldn't help cursing inwardly, looking at those Han soldiers, there was no trace of fear on his face, as if he believed in Li Cunxiao's incomparable strength.

However, Zhensheng was very faithful and did not run away alone. Instead, according to Li Cunxiao's order, he gathered the grain and grass and gathered the grain carts together.

Although the enemy army can't burn the food in this kind of ice and snow, if the bag is broken and the food is poured on the snow, it cannot be recycled.

Seeing that Zhen Sheng acted according to his instructions, Li Cunxiao nodded in satisfaction.

But after a while, I saw a cavalry rushing forward, charging towards the Han army in an encircling manner.

Seeing this situation, Zhensheng couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, because this cavalry was Mongolian cavalry, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it was even higher than the Guishuang cavalry. They were shooting at themselves with bows and arrows while charging.

But fortunately, when the Han army came out to fetch food, they expected to be raided, and the raid was bound to be cavalry, and the cavalry's main weapons were bows and arrows, so each Han army carried a shield.

The shield is not too big, but when it is held up, it can cover the upper body and head. Soldiers only need to wave their weapons to block the arrows shot in front of the horse.

As the Mongolian cavalry charged from all directions, arrow feathers all over the sky followed.

The Han army raised their shields high to block the vital points, and waved their weapons to block the arrows that shot in front of the horses. A round of arrows rained down, but the Han army suffered few casualties.

While Li Cunxiao stood in front of the soldiers and horses, Bi Yanluo fended off the arrows that shot in front of him while waving his hands, but his eyes were searching for something among the Mongolian cavalry.

To capture a thief first capture the king, to shoot a man first shoot a horse.

Li Cunxiao naturally knew that he alone could not fight against the enemy's [-] cavalry. Facing the siege of [-] cavalry, it was easy for him to break out of the encirclement, but he couldn't kill all the enemies.

However, Li Cunxiao had his own plan, only when the enemy army approached, he was the first to find the enemy's chief general and attack and kill him suddenly.The enemy must be in a mess, and the [-] cavalry deployed in the rear, taking the opportunity to wave their flags and shouts, can scare the enemy back in one fell swoop.

In the blink of an eye, Li Cunxiao kept scanning the Mongolian cavalrymen one by one, looking for the figure of the Mongolian general.

Immediately, Li Cunxiao's eyes lit up, and he found the Mongolian general in front of the Mongolian cavalry.

"An Jingsi is here, who dares to step forward?" Li Cunxiao shouted suddenly, urging his horse to kill the Mongolian general.

There was a burst of shouting, like thunder from nine heavens, and the thunder-like sound rang in the ears of the Mongolian cavalry. Hearing the three words An Jingsi, the charging movement of the Mongolian cavalry could not help but stagnate.

Afterwards, the eyes of the Mongolian cavalry couldn't help looking at Li Cunxiao.

Immediately, the faces of many Mongolian cavalry who watched Li Cunxiao flashed a hint of panic, and what's more, they ran away.

"It's An Jingsi?" The Mongolian general Wuhetai couldn't help but stop when he heard the three words An Jingsi, and immediately he shouted without thinking: "Stop charging, shoot An Jingsi quickly!"

Because this cavalry came from Central Asia, many people did not know Li Cunxiao, but the word An Jingsi was like thunder to the Mongolian soldiers.

In the hands of An Jingsi, Que Teqin, the number one Mongolian warrior, could not survive three rounds, and would run away when he met him.In the first battle of Xizhou, Li Cunxiao was alone, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Tuo Lei were afraid to go forward.

Wu Hetai saw that it was An Jingsi who came out in person, he was so frightened that he did not dare to charge, but formed a formation of [-] cavalry to meet the enemy, lest Li Cunxiao rush into the army and kill him.

But it was too late when Wuhetai gave the big order, Li Cunxiao had already locked him in, and the order he gave made Li Cunxiao affirm that Wuhetai was the Mongolian general.

When the Mongolian cavalry was about to gather in formation, Li Cunxiao had already rushed in front of the Mongolian cavalry. Bi Yanluo and King Yu attacked together. Immediately, all the enemies standing in front of Li Cunxiao turned their backs.

In a short while, Li Cunxiao rushed to Wuhetai with tyrannical force.

"Die to me!" Li Cunxiao yelled, and King Yu threw it at Wuhetai.

Wu Hetai quickly waved the mace in his hand to block it, only to hear a loud clang, and Wang Yu smashed directly on the mace.With great force, it landed directly on the top of Wuhetai together with the mace.

With just one lance, he smashed Wuhetai's head into pieces. The sharp nail teeth at the front end of the mace were driven into Wuhetai's headless neck by this lance, and blood gushed out from it. , Terrifying.

"Hmph, you and the general are dead, don't you hurry up?" Li Cunxiao snorted coldly, and King Yu swung Wuhetai's corpse from his horse with a wave, and shouted in a deep voice.

When Wuhetai's body was flying, the mace fell from his neck and hit a cavalryman.A piece of minced meat flew down from the neck, and blood sprayed out.Only the surrounding Mongolian cavalry were covered with dirt.
