Chapter 20 The Battle of Rehe (2)
King Yiluo and General Mu had just intercepted a batch of food and grass. When they were still counting, they felt the sound of horse hooves rumbling from afar. The two of them quickly signaled to be on guard. Everyone picked up their weapons and boarded the horse. Sure enough, a large number of people came from afar. Before they could get close, rain-like bows and arrows came to their faces.
"Defense!" King Yiluo gave the order, and the entire army launched defensive measures. However, the opponent was strong and our army was killed and injured.
At a loss, a team of people suddenly attacked from the rear of the enemy, instantly destroying the enemy's lineup.
"Yuwen Tuo is here!" a shout from the enemy.
When King Yiluo heard General Yuwen's voice, he waved his hand and shouted: "Kill!"
The entire army followed the orders and rushed to the battlefield one by one.
Half a stick of incense, all the enemy troops were wiped out.
King Yiluo came to General Yuwen: "Yuwen Tuo, why are you here?"
"Brother Murong, we just discovered the enemy camp, but there was no one. I felt something was wrong, so I followed the traces and came over."
"Haha, so that's it. We just intercepted the enemy's food and grass and were counting it. Who would have thought that a team of people suddenly came and killed us off guard."
"It seems that the enemy is very informed. We must set off quickly to prevent King Xuan and others from encountering unexpected problems."
"No need to go late, hurry up and get on the road." After that, the two groups formed two into one and rushed forward together.
My side and I soon arrived at the edge of the Rehe River. At first glance, the Hun army camped across the river, and looked like a long dragon along the sides of the river.
"The enemy is like this. The first ones look at each other and stay with the river. Even if one side is attacked, the other side can support the other side with a bow and arrow. It has strategies." King Xuan praised.
"But if you attack from the middle of the two sides and extend to both sides, it may not be impossible to achieve anything." I analyzed.
"It just requires sufficient manpower and fast so that they have no power to resist. With our current military strength..."
"No hurry. Now that our army has just experienced several wars, we have been rushing for so long, our army is very tired. Why not find a safe place to rest first. We are planning."
“Okay.”
So we found a safer place nearby and had a temporary rest. I and King Xuan studied the terrain and prepared to fight.
Just as we were discussing, a sudden visit was reported, saying that a large group of people were running wildly behind.
"King Xuan, I'll go and see, you'll be ambushing here." I said as I rode on my horse.
"General Qin, dangerous..." King Xuan wanted to stop me.
"Don't worry, King Xuan, I will definitely return safely." I bid farewell to King Xuan and ran to the rear.
After leaving for a while, I saw a large group of people heading straight for the front, so I quickly dismounted and hid.
When the people approached, I realized that it was Brother Murong and the others, so I quickly rode forward to greet him.
"Brother Murong! Brother Yuwen!" I shouted loudly.
"Huh? It's General Qin." They found me, slowed down and slowly stopped in front of me.
"How come General Qin is here?" Brother Murong asked me.
"There is the residence of the Huns along the Rehe River ahead. King Xuan and I are trying to find a way to break through. Now you are here, so I will take you there."
"good."
After saying that, I led everyone to the hidden place of King Xuan. Leaving the people and horses in the distance, only a few of us went to find King Xuan.
"King Xuan, see who is coming." I said happily.
King Xuan turned around and said, "Everyone is here." He was very happy. Several people reported on the previous war, and then went to a place where they could look forward to the Hun army and discussed how to deal with it.
"King Xuan, what if I attacked with fire?" General Yuwen said.
"They lived in the river to prevent being attacked by fire," said General Mu.
"How much did we bring gunpowder?" I asked.
"Not much." General Jiang Yuan arrived.
"Let's go, take me to see." I said to General Jiang Yuan.
"good."
General Jiang Yuan and I came to the gunpowder and found that there were only a few dozen packs, which could at most one fifth of the opposite side.
What should I do?
General Jiang Yuan and I returned to King Xuan and continued to think about how to deal with it.
"It's better to kill me directly!" King Xuan said: "Just as we had imagined before." King Xuan said the countermeasures we studied before.
"Although it's a bit risky, it's all." said King Yiluo.
"King Xuan, why not send some people to detonate the explosives from both sides to cause chaos, and then our sect will enter from the middle, which can reduce the danger of our army." I said.
"It's good, just act according to your plan." King Xuan said: "Wait until it's dark."
"Yes." We arrived in unison.
At night, campfires lit up at the Huns camp, and by this time several teams had already begun to act.
"Bang!" An explosion sounded on both sides of the Hun camp. The Hun army was in chaos in an instant and they investigated everywhere. At this moment, fires were rising outside the central camp, and two large groups of people roared over, and two large black bird flags were flying in the night sky.
"Kill!"
"What's the sound?" One of the Huns' camps was in one of the big tents.
"Report to the head coach, explosions occurred everywhere in the camp, and two more waves of Donghu people rushed in in between."
"Hmph, it's extremely abominable. What's going on if you found out about the explosion?"
"No."
"What kind of magic is this? No matter it, keep your foot firm and never let the Donghu Rats cause trouble in the chaos."
"yes!"
The sergeant hurried out to gather his troops.
The coach who spoke also picked up his weapons and rushed out of the tent, rode his war horse, and headed straight for the chaotic land.
But seeing this coach was extremely brave, he broke into the Donghu crowd alone, and was not afraid at all, slashing left and right, like a bloodthirsty beast.
After a closer look, this person looked very familiar, not the person who spoke to Zhang Yaozu that day.
"Hun dog thief, look at the knife!" General Jiang Yuan met the man and was very angry when he saw that his killing of his brother was like slaughtering livestock.
The man just snorted coldly. The two met soon, both using swords.
General Jiang Yuan slashed with a knife. The man just blocked it lightly and picked it up one after another. He bounced off Jiang Yuan's weapon and then quickly slashed it. Jiang Yuan quickly blocked it, but the opponent was very strong, and Jiang Yuan's mouth hurt in the formation and could not react for a long time.
After the two of them went back and forth for more than ten rounds, Jiang Yuan could no longer bear it.
"General Jiang Yuan, don't worry, I'll come!" General Yiluo's voice came from afar.
"Hahaha, I'm here too!" It was General Yuwen's voice.
The three of them quickly met and fought with the man together, but the man still handled it freely.
At this time, the remaining Huns army had also gathered together, and the soldiers from both sides faced each other and watched the four people in the middle form a group. King Xuan and I rushed over.
"This person is so brave." King Xuan praised.
"Yes." I also observed carefully. Although I fought with the three, I was not at a disadvantage.
"Huh? This person's moves are not like the Huns' methods?"
"How can King Xuan see?"
"My Donghu and the Huns belong to the same nomadic people, and the battlefield methods are similar, but look at that person, they have proper offense and defense, and use softness to overcome hardness, and use strange tricks to resolve them. Although they have too many defenses, they are not inferior." King Xuan analyzed carefully.
Through the guidance of King Xuan, I also discovered that the man was different. None of the moves seemed to be harmless, but actually had murderous intentions. This is a man who has been through the battlefield for a long time, and his skills are profound, as if he still has many hidden hidden things.
While speaking, the man bounced off the three-person weapon and rode his horse back to defense.
"You three are not my opponents. I heard that there is a Qin Kai who is? I asked him to come out and fight!" The man said calmly.
How could the three of them bear this? They drove their horses together. The man was not panicked, and turned back and waved his sword, alarmed the three of them, and the three of them landed on the ground.
"Hmph, I don't know what's wrong. Qin Kai, come and fight!" the man continued to shout.
I knew I couldn't run away, so I had to come. Regardless of King Xuan's obstruction, I passed by the three of them and whispered: "Three generals will come back first, I'll meet him."
"General Qin is careful." The three of them went back in shame after saying that.
"I'm Qin Kai!"
"So it's you, it doesn't seem to be anything extraordinary. Did Zhang Yaozu lose to you?"
“That’s right.”
"Okay, then let me meet you!" After that, he waved his knife and slashed.
