Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 428
Stone barrier.

Amidst the sound of long horns, nearly a thousand Huns slowly withdrew from their positions, ending a day of futile attacks.After a day of hard work, more than half of the losses were lost, but they still failed to break through the first position of the Han army.All they can do is to spit bitterly and curse for a few days to vent their hatred.

The Han army occupied the cliffs on both sides, condescending, with strong bows and crossbows, and arrows rained down, so that the Huns couldn't even lift their heads.The two-day attack made no progress except to pay 4000 casualties.

Knowing that the Xiongnu Shanyu led [-] main cavalry to chase after him, although Li Guang felt a little regretful, he still retreated to the Shimen barrier wisely.On the way, he met Wei Qing.Wei Qing didn't dare to be careless, and quickly retreated together with Li Guang, and at the same time notified Han Anguo of the news.

Han Anguo led his infantry to the Shimen Barrier to form an array at the first time, seized the favorable terrain, built fortifications, and successfully stopped the Huns.In terms of offensive and defensive positions, the Han army has an unrivaled advantage over the Huns.

Seeing the retreat of the Huns, Han Anguo also ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, ending the day's fighting, and summoned the generals to discuss matters.

Li Guang, Wei Qing and others rushed to Han Anguo's tent immediately.Li Guang set up a battalion far away, and when he arrived, Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao and others had already arrived.Seeing Li Guang enter the account, only Wei Qing stood up to meet him, Gongsun Ao and others pretended not to see it.

They have great opinions on Li Guang.I have worked hard for a few days, but Li Guang snatched the final result. No one will feel comfortable if this happens to anyone.What's more, Gongsun Ao and others thought they were close ministers of the emperor, and both Cheng Bushi and Han Anguo treated them with courtesy, but Li Guang didn't take them seriously and even robbed them of their merits, which made them very upset. I have to say two unpleasant words.

Li Guang didn't bother to talk to them at all. Facing Wei Qing, he just nodded proudly and turned to Han Anguo.

"Han Gong, in such a hurry to gather generals, can you take action?"

Han Anguo nodded. Although he didn't stand up to greet him, he also stood up and stretched out his hand to signal. "General Li, sit down."

Li Guang took his seat calmly.Although Han Anguo is the imperial censor, he is the well-deserved main force in the three-way army. He has made the most military achievements so far, and he has enough capital to sit side by side with Han Anguo.

"General Li, the situation is urgent now. I'm worried that General Cheng's troops won't be able to stop King Youxian, so I want to send some cavalry to support him."

Li Guang nodded in agreement.

Everyone knows that this battle is drawing to a close, and the time for the decisive battle has arrived.Whether they can occupy Henan as planned depends on whether they can repel the main force led by Shan Yu.Although the Han army is currently in a favorable situation, the Huns have an absolute advantage in the number of cavalry. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will rush over like a flood and destroy all victories.

Until the last moment, no one dared to say that the Han army was the winner.There are too many things about winning first and then losing, and finally being overturned by the Huns.

The hearts of the generals and soldiers of the Han army were heavy. The superiority of the cavalry of the Huns was like a big stone stuck in his chest, making them breathless.

This pressure even suppressed the contradictions within the Han army caused by the struggle for merit, and maintained the fragile unity of the various departments of the Han army.If the Huns cannot be repelled, no matter how great the military exploits are, it will be wiped out, and there is no point in fighting.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Han army has an obvious advantage in Shimen Barrier. [-] infantry and [-] cavalry are not only more than enough for defense, but also strong for counterattack.But if you don't know the Ministry, it won't work.He only has [-] infantry, but he is facing the [-] fine cavalry of the Youxian King's army, and his supplies are insufficient, so he can't last long.Once Cheng Bushi was defeated and King Youxian invaded Henan, the Shimen Barrier would be attacked by enemies, and he would definitely not be able to defend it.

On the contrary, if you can repel King Youxian's troops, you can threaten Shanyu's rear and force him to retreat, and the situation is very good for the Han army.

Rushing to help Cheng Bushi has become the winner.

"Then who is Mr. Han going to send to support General Cheng?" Li Guang said, looking at Gongsun Ao and the others calmly, with a slight twitch of his mouth, a bit disdainful.He has always seen the provocations of these young juniors, but because of his status, he didn't argue with them face to face.

Seeing this, Han Anguo secretly sighed. "The general is here to discuss with General Li."

Li Guang smiled slightly. "Rush to help, of course we need cavalry. In terms of military strength, both Prefect Feng and General Wei have more troops than me, why not let them go?"

Feng Yannian, the prefect of Yanmen, lowered his head, pretending not to hear.Although he has ten thousand cavalry, he is the weakest of the three cavalry in terms of the number of horses and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.What's more, Wei Qing was sent by the emperor to perform meritorious service, how could he have the guts to compete with Wei Qing.Even if he is sent to aid Cheng Buzhi, he is at most a minor general, not a major general.

Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong exchanged glances and blinked, showing a bit of complacency.From their point of view, what Li Guang said was sensible, and their anger these days had finally achieved their goal.Gongsun Ao tugged at Wei Qing's sleeve, motioning for him to ask for orders.

Wei Qing pushed away Gongsun Ao's hand, and bowed with a long body. "Han Gong, Qing thinks it's better for General Li to lead the troops to help. Regardless of military position, experience in commanding troops, or the combat power of his troops, General Li is a well-deserved main force."

Han Anguo was noncommittal and turned his attention to Li Guang.Li Guang smiled, his eyes mocking. "General Wei has won the award, but Li can't afford it. It doesn't matter if I work a little harder. I'm afraid that some people will be dissatisfied and complain, and miss the court's important affairs."

Gongsun Ao was furious.Who is Li Guang talking about? He still doesn't know?He was retorting, but Wei Qing stopped him with his eyes.He was furious, but he couldn't confront Wei Qing face to face, his face turned blue with anger.

Wei Qing bowed and said: "General, there is no need to worry. We are all willing to listen to the general's orders and dare not make mistakes."

Li Guang glanced at Gongsun Ao, Zhang Cigong and others, and snorted: "Han Gong, what's your opinion?"

Han Anguo said lightly: "It's so good. General Wei's subordinates were originally General Cheng's subordinates, and now he should follow General Li to help General Cheng. General Li is a famous general who has been famous for a long time. Although General Wei has just been in battle, But it is a rare young hero, you join hands, you will definitely be able to defeat King Youxian. I will wait for your good news."

Li Guang laughed loudly and stood up. "Then I'll go back and prepare, General Wei, hurry up, rescue soldiers is like putting out a fire, so don't neglect." After finishing speaking, Wei Qing walked away without waiting for Wei Qing to speak.

"How unreasonable!" Zhang Cigong was furious and drew his sword. "I killed the old man!"

"Shut up!" Wei Qing shouted sharply. "How can you be so presumptuous in front of Han Gong. If you don't want to, you can stay and don't have to go with you."

"I..." Zhang Cigong was so embarrassed that he was speechless.How to make meritorious service with Han Anguo?He just couldn't stand Li Guang's arrogance, and wanted to vent his anger on Wei Qing, but he didn't expect Wei Qing to be so weak.He was so angry that he threw the knife on the ground and remained silent.

"Wei Qing is incompetent, please forgive me." Wei Qing signaled Gongsun Ao to pull Zhang Cigong out, and pleaded guilty to Han Anguo again and again.

Han Anguo stood up, walked around the desk, and stroked Wei Qing's back. "General Wei, I know that although you are young, you know the general situation, and you are someone close to His Majesty. You must be very aware of the importance of this battle. Don't spoil the court's affairs just because of your temper. It is good to take care of your subordinates." , but the military has its own rules, and the stigma of poor command will also affect your career. Remember, remember."

Wei Qing's heart shuddered, and he quickly bowed to salute. "Thank you, General, for reminding me, Qing will keep it in mind."

Wei Qing went back to his big tent, Gongsun Ao, Zhang Cigong and others were still there. As soon as he saw Wei Qing entering the tent, Gongsun Ao said: "Zhongqing, how long will we be bullied by Li Guang? Last time he robbed If you have done our work, you should give it back to us this time? He gave up, why are you still unwilling to take it? Could it be that you are afraid? With brothers supporting you, what is there to be afraid of?"

Wei Qing gave everyone a cold look. "Do you know the consequences of lax military management?"

Gongsun Ao was taken aback for a moment, and was immediately at a loss for words. After hesitating for a while, he said awkwardly, "Han Gong... blamed you?"

Wei Qing ignored him, sat down on his own, and waved his hand, gesturing for them all to take their seats. "I know you are dissatisfied, but it is true that our strength is limited. Last time we hunted down the Huns, we lost more than 1000 people. Now our strength is almost the same as that of General Li. However, how many horses does he have and how many do we have?" War horse?"

There was no sound in the big tent, only heavy breathing remained.They all knew what Wei Qing said was true.Although everyone has 8000 people, Li Guang has more than 2 horses, which is more than twice as many as theirs.Li Guang is a well-known veteran general who is deeply loved by the soldiers, and he is in command of the elite from Longyou. His combat power is by no means comparable to those of them, and the two sides are not at the same level at all.

However, they are people sent by the emperor, so they are so bullied by Li Guang, and they still have to swallow their anger?
"Insufficient strength, I admit it. However, this old man is too bullying. After all, we are also officials next to the emperor, and your sister is still the emperor..."

"Don't forget, General Li was Wei Yang and Wei Lieutenant, Lang Guan or something, what is it in his eyes?" Wei Qing interrupted Zhang Cigong. "In terms of ability, can you be stronger than Liang Xiao? Liang Xiao can obey his orders, why can't we?"

"I..." Zhang Cigong was also speechless.Speaking of Liang Xiao, how many young people are not short of breath?He clenched his fists and sighed, gnashing his teeth in hatred. "But... I really can't swallow this breath, I... my heart is about to explode."

"What's your anger, save it on the battlefield." Wei Qing paused, and said again: "This battle is of great importance. If anyone dares to act arrogantly and miss a major event, I can tolerate you, and military law can't tolerate you. You can Can you hear me clearly?"

Gongsun Ao, Zhang Cigong and others looked at each other and nodded vigorously.

"Zhongqing, don't worry. We will listen to you on what to do. You must let the old man Li Guang see it. It doesn't mean that you are older than you are. When it comes to killing people, who is afraid of whom?"
