Chapter 109: Surround Wei and save Zhao

Li Qin was stunned. How could this Hun soldier speak Chinese and speak so well? The Huns who speak Chinese should have a good status. Judging from his armor style, he should be a big shot!

He waved at the Jiaofu in the earthen wall, and Li Qin said, "This person is useful, don't let him die immediately!" As he said that, he ran to the injured Jiaofu and checked his injuries.

Liu Heibao lowered his head again and buried it in the soil. He has not died yet, but now he hopes that he will die quickly. He can no longer bear the pain, but he just has not died. He doesn't understand why. God will not let him die. This is by no means favor to him, but torture to him, and punishment to him!

The Fujiao Soldier jumped out of the earth wall and lifted Liu Heibao up. Seeing that his intestines were dragged out, the Fujiao Soldier was extremely surprised. After being injured so seriously, the Hun soldier was still alive. It was a miracle!

More and more soldiers of the horns got up, some went to rescue their comrades, while others jumped out of the earth wall and slaughtered the uninjured Xiongnu soldiers, venting all the tyrannical aura after the bloody battle on the enemy!

The passage continued to be in chaos. After a long time, it took a full hour before Zhang Qi ran to this side with a bloody sword. He shouted: "Li Lang, we won, we won, we defeated the six thousand Hun soldiers in the past and after, and we have never won such a great victory for many years!"

He ran to Li Qin, but saw Li Qin leaning against the earthen wall, his face full of depression. He whispered: "What's wrong, what is Li Lang thinking? We won, we won, only a few hundred Hun soldiers ran away, they definitely dare not come back!"

Li Qin shook his head, pointed to the other side of the position, and sighed: "My brother has died, and the number of casualties is probably more than a hundred. My army is not far from being crippled!"

Zhang Jie immediately put away his smile. He looked at the Fujiao soldiers and saw countless corpses behind the earthen wall, layer by layer, and hundreds of Fujiao soldiers lying around the wall. Some were dead, and some were crying loudly, while others were not dead, but screaming loudly. The scene was desolate, not like a big victory just after a big victory, but a big defeat!

Zhang Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thought for a while, but couldn't think of any words of comfort, so he had to say, "Li Lang, you defeated the 6,000 Hun soldiers with the strength of only 500 auxiliary soldiers, including the number of bloody battles in the past and afterwards. Even during the reign of Emperor Wu, when our Han army was in full swing, such military achievements were rare. How could there be no one who could die when they went to war? More than a hundred casualties are a great blessing. Don't be sad, don't be sad!"

Li Qin shook his head, raised his hand to wipe his face, ignored Zhang Jing, and walked towards the wounded soldier. With military doctor Jing Chun, he checked the wounds for the Fujiao soldier and bandaged the wounds!

As soon as Li Qin passed by, the soldiers of the jiao surrounded him and cried loudly to him. No one thought victory was important. Instead, they thought that so many people died were very important. The entire earth wall was full of crying, and outside the earth wall, there were all screams of the Hun soldiers when they were slaughtered!

Zhang Jun thought to himself: "Why do you have to? The soldier is dead. You can replenish it. After this big victory, you can replenish it several times. There is no need to be so sad. As a general, it is not a good thing to be too close to the soldiers. You must be as hard as iron!"

But after thinking about it, he felt that his thoughts were not very reasonable and were too bureaucratic. In fact, the generals and soldiers had a good relationship. This is the case. But he couldn't do this himself. He had been a bureaucrat for too long and could no longer be able to treat his fellow comrades like brothers!

Zhang Qi looked at Li Qin and saw Li Qin squatting on the ground and treating a soldier with a corner to the wound. Li Qin shouted, "Are you guys?"

The wounded soldier was covered in tears, but when Li Qin called out, he immediately stopped crying and shouted: "It's my men, the soldiers in our Fujiao Fort are all my men!"

Li Qin took a bag of wine and poured the wounded soldier's wound. The wounded soldier was so painful that his eyes were about to emerge, but he shouted with a loud voice: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. If the men shouted, they would be girls in the future!"

The surrounding soldiers shouted, "Good, don't lose our Fujiao Fort!"

Zhang Jie looked there in surprise and thought to himself: "Why is this army so united? I think I can train troops, but when it comes to sharing the same hatred of the enemy, my soldiers must follow Li Qin's soldiers, which is too far apart! Alas, I just thought that they were not strong enough. Now that I think about it, I can't do it like others. I am jealous!"

Sighing, Zhang Qi went to see his soldiers clean the battlefield, but inadvertently, he was influenced by Li Qin's behavior. He became intimate with the soldiers, especially the injured soldiers, and even went to take care of them personally. All the soldiers in Lian County were surprised. How did the Sima of the Army change his nature and suddenly he came to take care of the soldiers. He used to be a harsh person and scolded everyone, and never even said good words, just like the officers in other places. What's wrong with this today? He won a battle, so he was so happy that he had an abnormal behavior, right?

The chaotic battlefield was not cleaned until dark. The soldiers were too tired and had to spend the night outside the city. The county magistrate Qiu Sheng personally took the people out of the city to bring good wine and meat to reward the soldiers.

The next day, the battlefield was cleaned up. Qiu Sheng and his men salvaged the Hun soldiers in the pond, and the bodies on the battlefield were also concentrated to count the results.

Li Qin didn't sleep well last night. He sat on the second earthen wall with red eyes, looking at his army, thinking about how to fight in the next battle. It was probably the headquarters of the Huns' soldiers that it was time for only two days.

Qiu Sheng came to the earthen wall and raised his head and said, "Li Lang, the number of deaths of the Xiongnu soldiers has been calculated. In addition to the number of people who fought the first vanguard the previous time, the total number of Xiongnu soldiers died was 3,200, and there were more than 400 people who caught the survivors. I originally thought that there should be more, but somehow there were only so few. According to the number of people who escaped, there should be more and more!"

Li Qin pointed to the surroundings and said, "It was so chaotic at that time, and the terrain here was complicated. Maybe some Hun soldiers escaped in the chaos. It was purely normal for them to take away the bodies of their close tribe members. If we were to do so, it would be like this!"

Qiu Sheng nodded and said, "But the military achievements are calculated based on the heads of the people. It's a pity that there are fewer people!"

Of course he understood that under the chaos yesterday, no matter how many Hun soldiers were defeated, there were many people who escaped. However, the military merits of the court were calculated based on the heads. If the heads were missing, it would be equivalent to the lack of military merits. Naturally, he felt a pity.

Li Qin waved his hand. For him, it was irrelevant to how many heads of the Hun soldiers he got. Whether he could win the subsequent battle was what he was going to pay attention to. As long as he won, he could do whatever he wanted. There was someone in the court. Now he had someone in the palace. As long as he repaid his military achievements, he didn't have to brag about it himself. Zhang Jiu had to brag about it for him. But if he lost, he couldn't even save his life. Any result without a result would be nonsense!

Li Qin said: "I thought about it all night last night. I still underestimated the combat power of the Hun soldiers. I always thought that they had made enough preparations, but through yesterday's battle, I found that the difference was too far. The battle between the two armies was not as simple as I thought. It was not possible to solve everything by fighting bravely!"

Qiu Sheng glanced at the fortifications and said, "This preparation is not enough. If you want to be brave, to be honest, you have never seen a braver soldier than Li Lang's soldiers. The Hun soldiers are far behind your soldiers!"

"But they can eat us all with a large number of people. They can afford to die, but I can't afford to die!" Li Qin waved at Qiu Sheng and pulled him onto the earthen wall.

Li Qin asked: "Which direction should the Xiongnu's headquarters come from? I point to the specific direction!"

Qiu Sheng said: "Since you know that it is Liu Jiu from the Nine Tents, you can only be in the northeast direction, that is, the direction of Bingzhou. But when we get here, it will become the north direction. Liu Jiu cannot take tens of thousands of cavalry into the forest, so there is no need to worry about the east."

Li Qin said: "I'm not worried about the direction of the attack. When I get here, it doesn't matter which direction. Also, what are the characteristics of the Huns going south in this season? I mean that the entire tribe is moving to fight. Are they not nomadic tribes, or are only soldiers coming, just like our Han army going to fight?"

Qiu Sheng said without thinking, "This season is very important to us, and it is also important to the Huns. It is the time for cattle and sheep to gain weight. Cattle and sheep are their crops. Only after they are fattened can they prepare for winter. So they can only come by soldiers, the elderly, weak, women and children guard the grasslands, and the Hun soldiers also aim to rob and leave after robbing them."

After a pause, he said again: "Don't worry, as long as we stay for a longer period of time, we will wait for reinforcements in the state... Alas, we may not be able to count on reinforcements, but as long as we can defend for a longer period of time, the Huns will retreat by themselves, and we still have hostages in our hands, so we can use hostages to negotiate peace and make Liu Jiu retreat. The officials interrogated overnight and all the time were clear. There were two prisoners who were Liu Jiu's younger brothers, and they were very rare!"

He snorted, Li Qin said, "Mr. Qiu is too optimistic. Some people have reported me that the two people you mentioned are things that have not lived long. If they can't survive, even if they are left alive to Liu Jiu, they will die once they hand it over. What will happen?"

Qiu Sheng showed a sad look on his face and said, "What should I do? I'm afraid Liu Jiu has to attack with all his might, so we won't be able to defend for long. Liu Jiu is not like his two younger brothers in war. He is powerful and is known as the number one warrior of the Huns!"

"The First Warrior of the Huns?" Li Qin said with a sneer and said, "Even if it is the First Warrior, he must have weaknesses. As long as he finds his weaknesses, no warriors or warriors are dead people!"

Qiu Sheng said: "What is Liu Jiu's weakness? He doesn't look like a person with weakness!"

Li Qin said: "What is his weakness depends on how we do it. It also requires Lord Qiu, please do me a favor. I plan to surround Wei and save Zhao and use this trick to defeat Liu Jiu!"

Qiu Sheng was stunned and didn't understand, and said, "Ambing Wei to save Zhao? Who surrounded whom?"
