Liang Xiao stood up and bowed. "General, if you want to wipe out the Xiu Tu Wang troops, you should not be too impulsive. Since he despises us, why don't we use our plans to show weakness and lure him to attack?"

"Teel him to attack the city?" Li Guang shook his head. "He is probably not that stupid."

Liang Xiao smiled. He would not despise King Xiu Tu so much. It is the most mentally retarded manifestation of expecting the enemy to be stupid. No matter how impulsive the King Xiu Tu was, he would not use cavalry to attack the city.

"General, we are not in the city, we go outside the city."

Li Guangdaqi. It was very dangerous outside the city. Twenty thousand cavalry rushed to kill, not a joke. Besides, if the situation was wrong outside the city, the Huns had the advantage of speed and could evacuate the battlefield anywhere, and they could not catch up even if they chased.

Liang Xiao told his plan: use a war horse of six thousand cavalry to pull the cart, but the cart was loaded with people, and it was an elite cavalry that wanted to carry out the pursuit mission. Once he fought with the Huns, he removed the war horses, used the cart as a barrier, formed a formation on the spot, and lured the Huns to attack. In this regard, the Han army had enough advantages. When the Huns retreated, the cavalry that had been resting could board the horse and chase it.

The elite cavalry who had been replenishing energy and had exhausted combat power with 6,000 elite cavalry who had been exhausted for a long time and suffered heavy casualties had at least half of the chances. If they were lucky enough to defeat the Huns, the rest would be simple. If they were not lucky enough to completely defeat the Huns, it would be fine. They could completely retreat and cooperate with the infantry again.

The key to winning is two:

The first thing is whether it can withstand the attacks of the Huns. If the Huns break through the position, it will be a disaster. Even if all the cavalry are on the horse, they are not the opponents of the Huns with an absolute advantage in numbers and may suffer major casualties.

While resisting the attacks of the Huns, they could not scare the Huns away, and they had to attack fiercely at all costs. For this goal, Liang Xiao had two plans. One was to load some of the cars with silk and food, so that the Huns thought there were a lot of money in these cars. The other was to use themselves as a waste to lure the king to be deceived.

After listening to Liang Xiao’s suggestion, Li Guang laughed. “You are the only one, I’m afraid it’s not enough. The one that King Xiu Tu hated the most is me, so let me be used as bait.”

Liang Xiao also smiled. "If the general is used as bait, don't think of running away, the big fish, King Xiu Tu, is the big fish."

Everyone laughed.

Li Guang immediately made arrangements. Liang Xiao provided the main suggestions. Li Guang assigned the suggestions into tasks and handed them over to everyone. Other generals provided supplementary suggestions and carried out tasks.

After one day of preparation, Li Guang, Liang Xiao and three lieutenants led 7,000 soldiers and escorted more than 4,000 large chariots out of the city, heading along the Tao River toward the Yellow River, and preparing to cross the river to fight. Among these more than 4,000 large chariots, only more than 1,000 were loaded with food and silk, and the remaining more than 3,000 were loaded with two knights.

Li Jiao led several generals and was ordered to stay in Didao City and ready to respond at any time.

At the foot of Gaolan Mountain, King Xiu Tu grabbed the zebra under his crotch and raised his head. He looked at the undulating mountains in the distance, feeling a little uneasy.

After crossing the river, the terrain here becomes complicated and the restrictions on cavalry are becoming increasingly greater. He has been bordering the Han people for so many years, but the geographical restrictions are one of the main reasons why he has not occupied the entire Longxi.

He came to humiliate Li Guang. If he had the chance, it would be good to plunder. Now, his goal has been basically achieved. Should he stop when he is good? Or should he continue to advance and expand the results of the war? King Xiu Tu was undecided. He was not afraid of the Han army or Li Guang. But he had to do it with caution. According to scout reports, tens of thousands of Han troops gathered in Longxi, and the emperor was in the territory of the emperor. Once he was impoverished, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, the scout came to report and found that the 5,66 Han army infantry were coming here. Thousands of large trucks were escorted. The trucks were very large, very slow, and the ruts were very deep, and it seemed that they had loaded a lot of things.

King Xiu Tu immediately became energetic. He was unwilling to be ambushed, but he had no reason not to let thousands of troops be sent to him. After doing this, he could return with a full load.

Although King Xiu Tu was moved, he was very cautious. He sent more scouts to check the surrounding situation so as not to be trapped in the Han people's tricks.

After half a day, the scout came to report that no trace of the Han army was found around, but the scouts of the Han army saw their shadows. The Han army had stopped advancing and were turning around and fleeing.

King Xiu Tu no longer hesitated and immediately ordered a pursuit. More than 20,000 riders advanced rapidly along the river valley. Not long after, they saw a large cart that had overturned on the ground. The cart was broken, and nearly a hundred bundles of battle robes were scattered on the ground, and several Huns were fighting for it.

Not long after walking forward, they found another big overturned cart, with golden corn sprinkled everywhere.

Going forward, more and more big trucks were overturned, including food, clothes, weapons, and some money. Each one was filled with everything the Huns wanted.

King Xiu Tu was very excited and sent more scouts. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, he also sent scouts around the front of the Han army and went to outside Didao City to see if there were any signs of support from the Han army.

It was forty or fifty miles away from Didao City. The Huns fully utilized the advantages of the cavalry. In just one hour, they caught up with the Han army that was fleeing in a panic and blocked them in the edge of a river valley several miles wide.

King Xiu Tu took his personal guards to climb the hillside and checked his prey, feeling ecstatic.

He soon had an even more surprise discovery: these Han troops who knew they were running away and looking away, were setting up formations and preparing to block the aid of aid, were actually led by Li Guang himself. Li Guang was on the opposite hillside, surrounded by more than a thousand soldiers. More soldiers were walking in the car formation and preparing for the battle nervously.

Perhaps they cherished the horses, for fear of being accidentally injured by the arrow formations of both sides, or perhaps because they were afraid that the horses would be frightened and disrupted the battle formation. They removed all the horses in the pedestal and concentrated them down the hillside opposite. Seeing this pair, the Huns were very happy. This is enough to show that the Han army knew that they were not fast enough and did not have the hope of escaping and were ready to stand for help.

King Xiu Tu looked up to the sky and roared. "The sky has eyes, help me take revenge." He turned around and said to the generals: "Don't hurt Li Guang's life. I will capture him alive and send him to the Shanyu Court. He is much more valuable than Zhang Qian."

The generals laughed and agreed happily. The flying general Li Guang was the most famous general of Han. If he could be captured, the Shanyu would definitely have more rewards than Zhang Qian. Maybe he could reward the entire Qilian Mountains to the Xiutu King's army.

On the opposite hillside, Li Guang was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. "Haha, I have been waiting for the opportunity for a lifetime, and finally I hope it. Liang Xiao, this is a good way. Tell me, kill King Xiu Tu, how many thousand households can I enfeoff the enemy?"

Liang Xiao looked around and frowned. "General, I think it's still inappropriate. It's too wide to be here, we can't block the Huns."

Li Guang looked at it and felt it was reasonable. The river valley was four or five miles wide, with 4,000 large trucks lined up, with up to three or four cars in front and behind, which could block most of the Huns, but if the Huns broke through with their lives, they would not be able to achieve the goal of complete annihilation.

"It's okay." Li Guang said again: "Look, the ground on our south side is wider and suitable for cavalry to run. As long as we block tenaciously and make the Huns feel that they cannot easily succeed, they will inevitably use cavalry shooting to drag us down. At that time, we will retreat slowly, retreat to a narrow place, and block the mountain road."

Liang Xiao suddenly realized that it seemed that Li Guang was more rich in experience in using steps to ride.

"Then I will congratulate the general first, and I will be granted a marquis, but I will have to hold a few more days of banquets."

"Don't worry, you must be a boy. If you really want to be a marquis, you are the first contribution." Li Guang laughed happily. Li Gan was also happy and turned around Li Guang and Liang Xiao. Li Guang gave Li Gan a few instructions and asked him to go down to pass the order, asking the three lieutenants in the formation to cooperate. The front lieutenant Gongsun Rongnu and Han Qianqiu in the north must fight tenaciously, and the south lie could show a little weakness.

The time was not long, and the three lieutenants in the formation shook the battle flag and indicated that they had received the order.

After confirming that there was no ambush around him again, King Xiu Tu finally felt relieved and ordered an attack.

Six hundred Huns were divided into three groups and launched a tentative attack on the Han military chariot formation.

Li Guang shook the battle flag, the sound of war drums sounded, and a fierce battle officially kicked off. The Huns got off the horse, and their combat effectiveness was cut in half, and the small round shield in their hands was not enough to protect their bodies. Faced with the fierce crossbow shooting of the Han army, they could not advance in an instant. Before they met the army, many people fell down and returned due to setbacks.

King Xiu Tu was not nervous. This was originally a test, just to see the reality of the Han army. He was experienced and could analyze the weaknesses of the Han army from whether the Han army was shooting neatly, the number of arrows, and the hit rate. Then he would seize these loopholes and attack with all his strength.

Li Guang is a famous general, but he cannot protect all Han army generals. There will always be people who are timid and reveal their flaws when facing the battle.

Soon, King Xiu Tu discovered that the counterattack of the Han army's left-wing positions was a bit messy and the formation was not regular enough. He immediately sent five hundred people again to launch a series of attacks on the Han army's left-wing positions by riding and shooting.

The Huns rode horses from a distance in a loose formation, flew past the Han army formation, shot out sharp arrows, and then floated away. They teased the Han army wantonly and angered the Han army. Some of the masters and brave men even rushed to the front of the formation and shouted loudly.

Li Guang and Liang Xiao exchanged a look and showed a gratified smile. King Xiu Tu was trapped. Now, they need to add a fire.

"General, I'll show my skills?"

Li Guang was in a very good mood and laughed. "Okay, let's see how good your bow is."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, turned over and rushed to the position of Li Le. Tu Niuer, Pang Shuo and others followed closely.

Seeing the Han army reinforced the left-wing position, King Xiu Tu took a natural look. Seeing the dark horse and then seeing the gorgeous armor, King Xiu Tu suddenly felt his heart moved and pointed. "Who is the Han boy riding the dark horse? What kind of horse is that horse, which is actually so tall?"

The guards beside him looked at it and said at the same time: "It's not that Liang Xiao, right?"

King Xiu Tu held his breath and felt like he was knocked out by happiness.

Liang Xiao? This is an important person whose value is no less than that of Li Guang. Why is my luck so good that I suddenly grabbed the hearts of the two Huns?—
