Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 544: Living in the Prairie 2
"My lord, go first." Seeing this, the captain immediately said: "I will defend my lord against the enemy. There are only a thousand people from Xianbei. With me waiting, they can't hurt my lord."

Of course Gongsun Xu didn't think what the captain said was true. There were only so few people on his side, and they were all very exhausted. The enemy army had 1000 people. If it was normal, maybe Gongsun Xu really wouldn't care, but Now that there is someone behind the enemy's backstage who is planning on him like this, and almost does not hold back, one move after another, then how can the Xianbei cavalry sent by the black hand behind the scenes be ordinary people.

Looking at Gongsun Xu's suspicious eyes, the captain also knew that he couldn't hide it. He cupped his hands and said to Gongsun Xu: "My lord, don't worry too much. We don't want to fight head-on with the enemy. This place is dangerous. In order to protect my lord, At the end of the day, I will ask you to take the lord's helmet for use."

After finishing speaking, the captain immediately handed Gongsun Xu an ordinary soldier's helmet without waiting for Gongsun Xu's answer.At that moment, Gongsun Xu finally understood what the Captain meant. He wanted to send someone to act as himself, and then lure the enemy away.

Even though he knew it was a dead end, Gongsun Xu couldn't stop him.After he took off his helmet and handed it to the captain, he said, "Be careful."

"My lord, please don't worry, we will all ride three riders alone." The captain smiled and said, "It's not so easy for the enemy to catch up with us. My lord, take care of yourself. We'll wait, let's go."

After leaving behind two of the most powerful Huben troops to protect Gongsun Xu, the captain led the rest of the troops to run forward. They wanted to expose their whereabouts deliberately so that the enemy could follow them.

"My lord, it's getting dark, let's go." A tiger and cardinal cavalry said: "Time is running out, brothers will definitely escape, my lord, don't worry."

"Let's go, go back." Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "There is a river three miles behind, we will walk along the river after we get there, and then find a forest in the lower reaches to hide. This is already the Yinshan Mountains. It's easy to hide somewhere."

After finishing speaking, the four on Gongsun Xu's side rode away.Today's battle can be described as extremely dangerous. Dian Wei is still leading the Huben army to fight against the Xiongnu army. The battle in the valley is not over, and both sides are fighting hard.

The Huben army at the mouth of the valley is now fighting steadily. They just need to hold the mouth of the valley, and they don't need to attack at all.

God, it's getting dark, the soldiers on both sides have been fighting fiercely all day, and now they are very tired, Dian Wei was also pulled down by the soldiers of the Huben Army to rest at this time.At this time, both sides unanimously chose a truce.

The Huben army occupied the mouth of the valley and did not take half a step back. The Xiongnu army had already missed the best time to rush out of the valley.

At the mouth of the valley, the Huben army camped on the spot. Dian Wei had rested for an hour. Although he fought hard for a long time today, Dian Wei did not suffer any injuries. After resting, his physical strength also recovered.

The soldiers of the Huben Army grilled horse meat and cooked horse meat soup in the camp.In today's battle, the Huben army used to drive their war horses to attack the opponent's formation. There were many dead horses on the battlefield. Now they want to save food, so these war horses are used to fill their stomachs.

In comparison, the Xiongnu army in the valley was miserable. Although there were many dead horses on their side, they were not enough for them to eat. In desperation, in order to fill their stomachs, Liu Bao had to order some of the horses to be killed.

After eating, Dian Wei and the two school lieutenants discussed matters in the tent. The most important task at this time was to defeat the Huns, otherwise, Gongsun Xu would never be safe.

"I don't know where the lord is now." Dian Wei said, "We can't delay any longer. We must get rid of these Huns tomorrow, otherwise who will protect the lord."

"It is estimated that there are more than 3000 Huns in the valley." A school lieutenant said: "In today's battle, our army killed no less than a thousand enemy troops, but the enemy's commander is still there. They are not defeated so easily."

"I thought of a way." Another captain said, "I just don't know if it's feasible or not?"

"Speak." Dian Wei stared at him and said, "As long as you can defeat the enemy in the valley, you can try any method."

"We have the only exit now, and if they want to go out, they must defeat us." The captain said: "That is to say, our current camp is the only way they must pass.

If tomorrow we ambush a large number of archers on both sides of the valley mouth, when the enemy commander passes by, our army can kill them with random arrows.At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy from escaping, our army can pile firewood at the mouth of the valley, just waiting to kill the enemy commander, and we can burn them back with a fire.

At that time, whether they surrender or not, we don't have to worry about anything. If they don't surrender, we will lead the fire into the valley, turning them all into roast pigs, and life is worse than death. "

"Hehehe, it's hot." Dian Wei sneered, "But I like it. Okay, let's prepare now. Let the soldiers cut down trees overnight and pile them up at the mouth of the valley. I'll see how they break through. In addition, pile rolling stones on both sides of the valley." Lei Mu, it's a good time to hit them."

That night, the grassland was not peaceful either.Some time ago, the Xianbei army was chased and beaten by Wen Chou, but now, the Xianbei army unexpectedly appeared on the grassland at some point.From the eastern part of the Xianbei Grassland in the east to the Hetao area in the west, there are shadows of Xianbei cavalry. It is basically impossible for Gongsun Xu to go back at this time.

After dawn, Gongsun Xu was still hiding in the forest. He didn't dare to go out rashly yet, so he could only send two cavalrymen beside him to inquire about the news from time to time. The situation in the vicinity is not very clear at present, so he must protect himself first.

At noon on the fourth day, two soldiers of the Huben army finally came back. However, the two men had now changed from the armor of the Huben army and put on the clothes of the prairie people.

"My lord, there are Xianbei cavalry within a [-]-mile radius." A cavalryman said, "I caught a lone cavalryman and learned from him that General Dianwei defeated the Huns in the valley yesterday. It is said that Liu Bao, the wise left king of the Xiongnu, was beheaded by General Dianwei, and then General Dianwei retreated south with the prisoners."

"They are all Xianbei cavalry?" Gongsun Xu said in bewilderment: "When did the Xianbei army become so rampant? Could it be, could it be that the handsome army has already..."

Gongsun Xu couldn't believe that Wen Chou's army would end like this. It was almost impossible for Gongsun Xu. Wen Chou had led the army for many years, and he had tens of thousands of elites under his command. It was impossible for him to disappear like this.

"Did you find out clearly?" Gongsun Xu closed his eyes and asked, "What happened to General Wen Chou's army?"

Both cavalrymen lowered their heads, and after a while, the other said, "I grabbed a few tongues and asked about it. The tribes of Xianbei jointly dispatched troops, with a total army of no less than 30. The enemy army defeated by General Wen Chou earlier was Xianbei army's decoy troops.

Just when our army was chasing the Huns on the grassland, General Wen Chou's army was being besieged by more than 20 Xianbei troops, and the road behind him had long been cut off. Now that the Xianbei army is approaching the border of our northern border, I'm afraid already,,,,,,"

"It's impossible for the Xianbei people to wipe out Bujun's entire army." Gongsun Xu opened his eyes slightly and said, "Even if they are trapped, Bujun still has a chance to get out."

Gongsun Xu said so, but he already believed it in his heart.If the black hand behind this scene can push himself to this point, he will naturally have the ability to surround Wen Chou's army with 30 to [-] Xianbei cavalry, and then defeat it in one fell swoop.

"Who exactly is it?" Gongsun Xu slammed his fist on the ground and roared, "When did Xianbei come out with such a powerful character, and he counted me as dead? Judging from the current situation, Xianbei had planned it long ago. , Bujun is throwing himself into a trap, such a meticulous plan."

"Husband, what should we do now?" Zhen Dao stepped forward and grabbed Gongsun Xu's hand and asked, "Why don't we go back now, as long as we can go back, we won't be afraid of anything."

"Go back?" Gongsun Xu looked up at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. Every step I took before was counted by the opponent. If I retreat to the south now, I will probably fall into the enemy's trap again." , if I guessed correctly, Elai did not lead his army to retreat south, he should have been lured away by the enemy.

Going back must be a dead end. Within half a month, there will be heavy snowfall on the grassland. If we have not returned to the Great Wall by then, we may not be able to go back for two or three months.The current strategy is to put it to death and survive. "

"My lord, please give me your instructions." The two tiger and ben soldiers knelt in front of Gongsun Xu and said, "I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord."

"Go north." Gongsun Xu looked at the north and said, "Didn't the Huns also send troops? Liu Bao's [-] troops have all been defeated now. It is estimated that many people will flee north and return to their own tribe. Huns.

Going north, crossing the Yinshan Mountains, and then turning to the west, Yide led [-] cavalry to conquer the Xiongnu, and he was sure that nothing would happen.I remember that when we were in the grassland a few days ago, we saw a beacon warning on the other side of Hetao. If I guessed correctly, it should be the invasion of the Huns.

At the beginning, Liu Bao, the wise king of Zuo, also said this. I guess, the Xiongnu and Xianbei should have united.

The Xiongnu Shanyu's move was just to disturb the Hetao, so that the Hetao side could not spare a hand to rescue me.But what he did was tantamount to using the entire Xiongnu tribe as a bet. If the Yide army directly entered the Xiongnu tribe, the Xiongnu Shanyu's rear would be finished.

Now we can only go north to avoid encountering the Xianbei army, and the main force of the Huns is not in the north. This is our way of life.The two of you go to prepare and see if there are any scattered soldiers from our army nearby. If there are, try to call them over, if not, forget it.

We don't have much time, now we'll hide in another place, you two go out to find out the news, and you have to come back before noon tomorrow.You have to leave the day after tomorrow at the latest, you can't wait any longer, you two have to be careful. "

"No." The two Huben soldiers dressed up immediately after taking the order, and then they all swaggered out of the forest and searched the nearby grasslands.

What Gongsun Xu has to do now is to jump out of the enemy's plan, and he must not let the opponent count him as dead.Even if this step is dangerous, it is better than letting your opponent lead you by the nose forever.
