Chapter 404 Active Attack

Li Guang said it easily, but Cheng Bushi was also very firm. ●⌒,. But Liang Xiao knew that Li Guang's ease was true. At least in his own opinion, this was indeed not a difficult task. But for Cheng Bushi, it was not so firm, but rather a fight with all his might.

There is no other choice. If he does not take it firmly, this battle will inevitably be to win first and then lose, and all his previous efforts will be wasted.

Cheng Bushi was absolutely passive when he fought against the main cavalry led by the Xiongnu Chanyu with 20,000 infantry. If the Shanyu came to fight, Cheng Bushi had no advantage in military strength, and even if he could win, it would be a tragic victory. If the Shanyu did not come to fight, Cheng Bushi would not be able to catch up with the Shanyu with his two legs.

Therefore, the so-called cutting off the Chanyu's head and earning two thousand households is just a joke, and there is no possibility at all. Once the casualties are too great, Cheng Bushi is likely to have failed.

However, in terms of the current situation, this is the only way to do it. If you don’t stop Shanyu and gain time, your plan to wipe out Loufan will definitely fail. The number of beheadings is not enough, and no one will be satisfied from the emperor to ordinary soldiers.

"Mr. Cheng, the Huns are here, fighting is possible, and not fighting. We should protect our strength." In front of Li Guang, Liang Xiao bowed and said, "Stay the green mountains and do not worry about the lack of firewood. Whether or not you can cut down the head of Shanyu is the foundation. Please do not be greedy for merit, and it is the main thing to miss the imperial court because of small losses."

Cheng Buzhi smiled knowingly. With Liang Xiao's words, even if he leaves without fighting, no one can say anything about him. If the court punishes him, Liang Xiao will definitely say something fair to him.

"I understand." Cheng Buzhi held Liang Xiao's arm and shook it gently. "Thank you, Bo Ming, reminds you. 'Young people are terrifying, how can you know that the person who comes is not as good as you are now'. It makes sense. Bo Ming, be careful too. The future is long, you must take care of yourself and not be energetic for a moment. It is of great value for young people to be strong, but they are far from enough for generals. You must also be patient and know how to make choices."

Liang Xiao smiled modestly. Cheng Buzhi had something to say. Unfortunately, the person Cheng Buzhi was immersed in excitement at the moment and did not realize what Cheng Buzhi was going to say at all.

Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi divided the troops. Li Guang originally wanted to leave 10,000 horses, and even left some cavalry for Cheng Buzhi, but Cheng Buzhi refused. Except for the necessary horses used by scouts and messengers, Cheng Buzhi handed over all the war horses to Li Guang, ensuring the luxurious organization of one man and three horses as much as possible to ensure that the cavalry had sufficient combat effectiveness.

Li Guang agreed with mercy and ordered the entire army to bring only three days of dry food, leaving all the rest to Cheng Bushi, to show his confidence in coming back to support within three days.

The two divided their troops, Cheng Bushi set up camp beside the Daze. Li Guang and Liang Xiao led 10,000 cavalry to Shimenshui. At the same time, they sent a scout to inform Han Anguo that the army had gone around the back of King Loufan and could launch an attack immediately and wipe out King Loufan as soon as possible so that they could have enough time to rest and fight the main force of the Shanyu.

The night was dark, and Han Anguo sat in the brightly lit tent. He stared at the map in front of him with a serious expression.

Sima Tianjia stood quietly by the side with a long sword in hand. He was originally a prison guard in Meng County, but he became a blessing in disguise and became Sima beside Han Anguo, and followed him to Chang'an. Over the years, he has been following Han Anguo, prospering and losing.

He didn't know what Han Anguo was thinking at the moment, but he knew that Han Anguo was very nervous. Li Guang and Cheng Bushi had been away for three days. Tomorrow is the time for them to attack King Lou Fan. Whether they can succeed in one fell swoop is related to the future of Han Anguo and all the soldiers.

Han Anguo and Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi were as famous as Cheng Buzhi, but they were about to open the gap soon. Li Guang had a forced resignation and retirement to slaughter the king. The title of marquis was a foregone conclusion. Cheng Buzhi and Li Guang defeated the Aries King together, and made great contributions. Even if they could not be granted marquis, there was no doubt that they would be promoted to the title. Only Han Anguo had the largest number of troops and the fewest number of beheadings.

King Lou Fan was his last chance. If he could not seize this opportunity, he might not only lose the emperor's valuation, but also lose his prestige in the mind of the general, and no one would be willing to obey his orders in the future. Especially those recruiting soldiers for wealth, they would likely switch to other more promising generals, such as Li Guang, or Liang Xiao.

There were rapid footsteps outside the tent. Tian Jia immediately went out. The door of the tent opened and the chill came. Tian Jia shivered, but was startled by the few people in front of him.

Wei Qing walked quickly with his sword, and Wei Tao and another guard followed closely behind. They held a soldier, and they looked at the clothes as a messenger. But he lowered his head and dragged his legs on the ground. I don’t know if he was dead or too tired, so he didn’t even have the strength to walk.

Something happened! Tian Jia did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly put on a smile on his face and welcomed Wei Qing into the tent.

Han Anguo walked out of the case and looked at Wei Qing vigilantly. "What's the matter?"

Wei Qing turned around and shook his head at Wei Tao. Wei Tao hugged the messenger and walked to Han Anguo. The messenger stood shakingly, raised his head to look at Han Anguo. His face was dusty, his eyes were covered in blood, and his expression was extremely tired. After confirming that the person in front of him was Han Anguo, he shivered, took out a military newspaper from his arms and handed it to Han Anguo.

Han Anguo took the military newspaper and took two steps back. Then he opened it. He quickly swept it, and his face suddenly changed. Seeing this, Wei Qing ignored the etiquette and asked quickly: "Duke Han, what's wrong?"

Han Anguo looked at Wei Qing and felt a little guilty. Seeing the messenger's appearance, Wei Qing had obviously guessed something, but he kept holding it in his hands and did not grab the military newspaper from the messenger, but just personally sent the messenger to his tent. As a close minister of the emperor, he was also a young man with strong energy. It was very difficult for Wei Qing to be so humble.

"We have not had much time left for the Huns and Shanyu army to help." General Han Anguo handed the newspaper to Wei Qing, and walked back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back. After Wei Qing finished reading the military newspaper, he stood in front of Wei Qing. "General Wei, how do you think you can deal with it?"

Wei Qing's face was solemn and his eyes were firm. "It's time to do this, there is no other way to fight and decide."

"The Huns are fast, maybe they are already on the way to arrive." Han Anguo shook his head. "We must leave some people to block the attack so as not to be taken advantage of by the Huns. Let's do this, General Guard, you lead the cavalry to attack King Loufan, and I lead the infantry to block the Huns."

Before Han Anguo finished speaking, Wei Qing smiled. "Han Gong, although Qing is stupid, he knows that this plan is not possible. Even if we add General Li and General Cheng's wounded soldiers, our total strength is less than 40,000. Neither against King Loufan nor Shanyu, we have no advantage. If we divide the troops again, it may not be appropriate."

Han Anguo picked up the corner of his mouth slightly. "What does the general mean?"

Wei Qing was neither too slow nor too eager, but he was not too arrogant, and full of confidence. "Leave ten thousand infantrymen to defend the camp, and others attacked King Loufan, break through with infantry, and cover the cavalry to kill, and strive to defeat King Loufan as fast as possible to avoid being attacked from both sides."

Han Anguo thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The war is imminent, and as the chief general, he is certainly unwilling to leave the opportunity to attack and kill King Lou Fan to Wei Qing, but he serves as a stopping force for him. Even if he is willing to agree, the infantry generals under his command will not agree. The reason for saying this is that there is no way. Wei Qing has a special status and the emperor asked him to lead the cavalry in the army to make him rich and honor. Cheng Buzhi dares to block the way, so Han Anguo dares to stop him?

The war is imminent, and if there is no internal conflict because of the struggle for merit, it is definitely not a good thing. He takes the initiative to make concessions and is unwilling to compete with Wei Qing for merit. It is also a way to take the minority of the two evils. There is no way. Now Wei Qing insists on letting him be the main force, and he cannot ask for it.

The two hit it off, and Han Anguo immediately gathered to discuss matters and arrange tomorrow's attack.

The next morning, the Han army, who had been dormant for three days, once again set off the camp. In addition to the 10,000 infantrymen who remained behind, nearly 30,000 infantry and cavalry forced themselves to the camp of King Loufan.

King Lou Fan was upset about the whereabouts of King Aries. When he heard that Han Anguo was coming again, he didn't think much about it and immediately led his army to fight. After resting for several days, he fought again. Both sides were very strong and repeatedly fought, and it was difficult to decide the outcome.

Han Anguo personally led 10,000 infantry as the central army. Faced with the Hun cavalry, the Han army broke the norm and took the initiative to attack with an aggressive momentum. King Loufan sent three thousand elite cavalry to fight, trying to block the advance of the Han army's infantry. As a result, the Han army shot people with crossbows and overturned, causing heavy casualties.

Seeing that the Han army was fierce, King Loufan used his old tricks again and took the initiative to retreat again, hoping to distance himself and drag down the Han army in the movement. In the years of war between the Han and the Huns, the Huns had always done this, and most of them won in the end, so King Loufan did not think much about it, and as usual, he issued the order to retreat.

He never dreamed that Han Anguo was waiting for this opportunity. If he hadn't been worried that King Lou Fan would run away, he would have launched an attack long ago. Now Li Guang and Liang Xiao have entered the battle position and cut off King Lou Fan's retreat. What else should he worry about?

Defeat him as soon as possible, then defend against the dangerous side, preparing to confront the Xiongnu Khan.

As soon as the Huns moved, Han Anguo issued an order to attack. Twenty thousand elite cavalry roared out from their left and right wings, like tigers descending the mountain, pounced towards the retreating Huns.

Seeing this scene, the Huns still didn't think too much, but turned the combat retreat into a retreat of the entire army. Headed by King Loufan himself, the main force of the entire army passed through the Shimenblock and entered the endless grassland. In their opinion, as long as the distance is wide and the Han army infantry is left behind, even if the Han army's cavalry has the advantage of military strength, they can retreat calmly. When the Han people leave, they will come back.

Generally speaking, this is the worst ending. During decades of battle, the Han army never had the courage to go out to pursue.

To their surprise, Wei Qing and others chased after them and chased out of the Shimen Pass in one breath. The Huns caught off guard and bit the back team by them. After a short battle, the Han cavalry, which had an absolute advantage in troops, won a complete victory, beheaded 3,000, and seized a large number of cattle, sheep and baggage.

This time, King Lou Fan was really anxious and ordered the entire army to stop retreating and turn around and fight again.

The 30,000 infantry and cavalry of the Han and the Hungarians started a fierce battle on the grassland north of Shimenzhu-
