Chapter 19 Before the War
"Father, look at the current situation, will we march immediately? It would be bad if the enemy was prepared." Mark suggested.
When Mali heard this, he frowned. Now he was exposed. If the enemy terminated the internal strife, their plan would be ruined. But can he really win by rushing directly?
In fact, it’s not that Mali is hesitant. After all, his subordinates are basically all the young and strong tribes. Not to mention the entire army is wiped out, they can’t stand the loss of 20 or 30%!
"Father, please make a decision early!" After seeing the level of Li Laiheng's subordinates, Mark was already extremely anxious. Giving him such an enemy a second would be a crime.
At this time, the instructor riding a donkey behind him came late and barely breathed evenly: "Mark, I heard that the sound of drums from the south saved you?"
Mark nodded immediately, with a look of admiration.
The old mentor turned to Mali again and said, "No matter what, the sound of drums in the south must be investigated clearly. If it were the Qin army, we would be able to rest assured. If it was not..."
Mali looked at the old mentor's face and knew that he was not optimistic about this battle. Of course, he had reason.
The most elite cavalry in Hui troops are basically the ones led by Mark. Compared with others, they have neither quantity nor quality advantages, and they still have to fight in this way. Isn’t it a pity to seek death?
Mali has always been indecisive, and now he has no idea. He can only arrange it: "Let me work together to take a few young men to the south to see, we slowly go to the canyon, and explore while walking."
"Father..." Mark was about to interrupt after hearing this, but was interrupted by Mali with his hand:
"I have decided, Mark is going to the south too, that's it!"
Mali's words were unreasonable, and Mark and the others could only obey. Then, Mark turned his horse's head roughly, without waiting for others to go to the south.
Mali shook his head, exchanged glances with the old tutor, before waved his hand to let Heli and others follow.
On the other hand, after Li Laiheng left, the one who attacked the canyon entrance became Hao Yaoqi. He was also a powerful general under Li Chuang, but his immediate skills were not as good as Li Laiheng, so he could only charge with his infantry.
Fortunately, the ambush effect of Li Laiheng and Li Guo was becoming more and more obvious, and Luo Jun was gradually losing support. In addition, Li Guo also slid down from the cliff, and Luo Jun was already surrounded by a mortal siege.
Hao Yaoqi just brought down an enemy and shouted again: "The King of Chuang has an order to kill the evil ones, and surrender to avoid death!"
Luo Jun did not have much fighting spirit when the commander general knew life and death and he was surrounded again. After hearing this, he basically put down his weapons. Only Luo Rucai's confidants wanted to resist stubbornly, but they were quickly killed.
When Li came to the center of the battlefield, the battle had ended, and Hao Yaoqi was plundering the spoils with his men.
Li Guo actually didn't care about these things. He only cared about the big fish: "Shake the flag, have you found Luo Cao Cao?"
Hao Yaoqi shook his head with disappointment: "I haven't found it yet, but he can't get out. He's just a group of dead people, waiting for me to dig him out!"
Li Guo nodded with confidence. It seemed that it was only a matter of time to find Luo Cao Cao, and then he began to worry about his godson again.
"I don't know how Shuangxi is doing?" Li Guo said to himself, and Li Yan next to him bowed and said:
"You don't have to worry too much, the young general has experienced many battles and has a good horse, so he can withdraw even if he can't win."
Li Guo nodded, and was about to count the harvest and prepare for the next step, Li Laiheng's cavalry troops also returned to the canyon.
When Li Laiheng saw Li Guo, he immediately said: "The adoptive father, there is nothing to be afraid of returning to the tribe, but there is a sound of war drums in the south. I retreated because I was afraid of ambushing."
After hearing this, Li Guo frowned and looked at Li Yan. Li Yan was extremely smart, but he didn't know the existence of Daqin, so he could only guess:
"Maybe it was the Hui tribe's plan, similar to the empty city plan to intimidate us. In this way, we can only fight the Hui tribe openly."
After hearing this, Li Guo smiled contemptuously: "If this were the time when Master Hongwu Yongle, Huimen would be a first-class semen warrior. Now Huimen is afraid that even if they fall, they can't beat our man. What's there to be afraid of?
What we were afraid of was that they would intervene in the raid. Now that our army has won, and there is also a valley terrain, I don’t believe that I can still lose to a group of old herdsmen?
Shuangxi, you can bring people to make some simple traps, shake the flag and seize the time to count them, and the others quickly go into the canyon to rest, and finally a few people will deal with the stones."
After hearing this, Li Yan nodded in agreement. Now that Huimen has made unconscious moves and cannot attack, so let's wait to fight a position war.
Moreover, when the big stone is moved away, the army will be able to move forward and retreat freely, leaving a small group of people to guard the entrance of the canyon. The others will leave from the back. When the return troops react, the army will be gone long ago.
Next, Li Guo and others began to rest and prepare for the war based on this tactical idea, while the Hui army was still moving forward slowly, waiting to "delivery food to the door" to others.
Hao Yaoqi's men in the canyon were still counting supplies. Luo Rucai was too ruthless to take action. He was basically useful. He would not lose any food, drink, wear and play. With hundreds of captives, it was like bringing a mobile village.
Hao Yaoqi's subordinates soon discovered a big surprise!
A minion shouted excitedly: "Pioneer! This is a little lady! It seems to be the lady of a wealthy family!"
When Hao Yaoqi heard this, his eyes were lit up. He used to only care about food and drink, but now he is about to keep warm and think about it. It's really time for this little lady to come.
"Grandma, why did Mr. Li say that? My wife was dozing off and she came, hahaha!" Hao Yaoqi raised his head and smiled.
There were a few people next to him who knew he had said something wrong and didn't dare to discourage his good mood, so they could only laugh.
At this time, Hao Yaoqi saw the appearance of the young lady: fair skin, tall figure, oval face and thin willow eyebrows, and two braids that are long at waist. Although she is still young, she can already tell that she is a beauty.
Looking at the clothes, it turns out that the lady in Hui's unmarried family dressed. However, this lady from a wealthy family was tied up with her hands and feet, blocked her mouth, unable to move, and could only wait for her big eyes and stared at Hao Yaoqi fiercely.
Hao Yaoqi's body trembled, not knowing whether he was being stared at or being excited, but he could only smile and relieve himself: "Hahaha, the little lady is really awesome, I don't know which brother can have a good taste."
After he said this, the crowd of minions looked at the little girl like a hungry wolf, and their hearts were probably "me!"
Hao Yaoqi's delay caused Li Guo's dissatisfaction not far away, and then went forward to check and said, "Wake the flag, what are you doing? Can you clean it up quickly?"
When Hao Yaoqi heard that Li came, he quickly shouted as if he was seeking credit: "General Tiger, we have discovered a little lady, she looks so handsome!"
Although Li Guo is already forty years younger than his uncle Li Zicheng, he is still a time when he is fierce. He was a little curious when he heard this, and then quickly stepped forward.
Hao Yaoqi and others gave way to him. Li Guo looked at the girl who was close to him carefully, and Li Guo couldn't help but feel a little dry.
Li Guo quickly shook his head and returned to his calmness. As the main general, he is the nephew of the King of Chuang. But if he doesn't think about these things at this time, he has to win and go back to the Dao Camp, right?
So Li Guo immediately changed into a serious expression and said, "I'm still on the battlefield now, so I'm not thinking about this. I'll put the person aside first. I don't have to look at it if I tie it so tightly.
Everyone will find Luo Rucai first and then go to rest. The people who return to the tribe may come soon. If you don’t have the chance, you will continue to delay!"
When Hao Yaoqi saw that he was about to slap the horse's hooves, he quickly laughed dryly and hurriedly left with his subordinates. Li Guo couldn't help but look at the girl, swallowed before turning around and going back to prepare for the battle.
Finally, there was a girl left here, and two lines of tears were seen rushing out. She was the lady of Huimen, Mali's youngest daughter, Mark's sister, and the most beautiful pearl Ellie.
