It's near Xu time.
The last touch of the setting sun on the horizon gradually faded away.
Dissipated between heaven and earth.
Night and darkness.
It finally came slowly.
Inside the Zhou Army Camp in Minghu Mountain.
Sima General Li Guangli wears a full set of bright silver mountain armor given by the emperor.
Sitting on the Chinese military command platform with an expressionless face.
His eyes were like an eagle's, constantly looking around at the defense line below.
Under the command platform of the Chinese Army.
Half of the soldiers were sitting on the ground with their swords in hand.
Another half of the soldiers were sleeping on the spot with their weapons in their arms.
However, whether it is sitting on the ground or sleeping on the ground.
All soldiers and soldiers in the army will never leave their swords and their bodies will never leave the formation.
There are also several military princes.
Keep galloping in the formation.
Military aircraft pass military information back and forth.
"Report!"
Not long after.
The first army leader put the order flag on his back and rode straight to the command platform.
"Report!"
The military leader walked a hundred and fifty steps away from the command platform, dismounted from his horse and handed over the command flag.
Once the identity was verified, a Chinese army guard immediately led the military marquis to the command platform.
"Come here."
Li Guangli lowered his head and looked down, his voice slightly hoarse.
"yes!"
"Come to me, General!"
"The Huns on the southeastern defense line retreat three miles."
"Forty-three members of General Zhengbei's troops were seriously injured and seventy-six were killed in the battle."
"Eight hundred and thirty-one enemies were killed, and there was no point in injuring them!"
The military marquis cupped his fists in a salute and then announced loudly.
"One hundred and nineteen people were killed in battle, and 831 enemies were killed. There was no point in injuring the enemy."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Li Guangli murmured a few breaths in a low voice after hearing this, and then couldn't help but stroke his beard and praise him.
For those in the military, serious injury is almost equivalent to death.
This is especially true when food and medicine are in short supply.
"Mingde!"
Li Guangli calmed down for a moment, then called out loudly.
"The general is here!"
The herald Li Mingde quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists in response.
"General Zhengbei suffered 119 casualties and killed 831 enemies! No harm to the enemy counts!"
"Immediately lead people to sing each part!"
Li Guangli waved his hand and ordered loudly.
"Have an order!"
Li Mingde once again cupped his fists in salute, then turned around and walked down from the command platform, holding the Chinese military order flag and singing the praises of each department in person.
After Li Mingde and other messengers were walking further and further away.
Li Guangli lowered his head again and looked at the military commander below.
"Tell this to the Northern Administrative Department."
"After the war, I, the general, will demonstrate my merits to his subordinates."
"I hope my troops will kill the enemy easily and make great military achievements again!"
Li Guangli promised with an extremely solemn expression.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, the scout immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order, then retreated.
After the scout figure completely disappeared in front of the command platform.
The smile on Li Guangli's face quickly disappeared.
In just a few breaths, his face returned to its expressionless expression.
Not long after.
The battle status of Yu Yafu's, Gongyanglu's, Lin Heyun's, and Zhuang Sanxi's tribes were successively reported to the Chinese army.
If the place for this battle is not Mobei, it is not Minghu Mountain either.
Then this battle during the day can be regarded as a complete victory.
Unfortunately.
The place of this battle is the land of Mobei, Minghu Mountain, which is heavily surrounded by enemy troops.
After the figure of the last general scout completely disappeared from the vicinity of the command platform.
Li Guangli's face became visibly serious.
"Nearly a thousand people were killed in battle, and more than three thousand enemies were killed. No harm was done to the enemy."
"This kind of offensive..."
"Zordon, Mu Liangha, you really won't give up until you reach your goal!"
Li Guangli looked down at Minghu Mountain with a solemn expression and lowered his eyebrows.
As far as the eye can see.
It can be seen clearly that the fire dragons are moving towards the five must-pass roads in a steady stream.
...
About Hai time.
The night is getting dark.
Minghu Mountain is the southeastern defense line of the Zhou army.
Li Ling, the general in charge of the northern expedition, commanded the battle at high intensity for almost a full day.
It's hard to hide my tiredness in the end.
Wearing a large cloak, he leaned on a wooden chair and fell asleep.
at the same time.
Li Zhong, the general who patrolled on behalf of the army, led twenty or thirty personal guards through the military formations that were snoring loudly one after another.
He walked slowly and quickly to the front line, where he was stationed next to his fourth uncle.
After the inspection is correct.
Li Zhong immediately crossed the defense line and headed straight towards the outside of the defense line.
The entire southeastern defense line is within 500 steps.
There were at least sixty or seventy military scouts scattered here and there to prepare for the Huns' night attacks.
However.
Just when Li Zhong reached a hundred steps and was about to reach the nearest scout.
Countless torches suddenly appeared three miles away from the southeastern defense line.
See this scene.
Li Zhong couldn't help but his face condensed.
However, when he was looking carefully.
The countless torches slowly formed into several scarlet fire dragons.
And it is slowly moving towards the southeast defense line.
"Sound the siren immediately!"
See this situation.
Li Zhong immediately ordered in a deep voice.
"Follow the order!"
The two trumpeters in the bodyguard beside him heard this and immediately clasped their fists to accept the order.
The words are over.
The two trumpeters quickly took off the suonas from their waists and played hard.
After counting the interest.
The high-pitched suonas that seemed to be able to split rocks and flow clouds exploded across the entire southeastern defense line at lightning speed.
Suona sounds together.
The loud snoring on the southeastern defense line quickly stopped.
Hundreds of Li Ling's soldiers, who were sleeping particularly deeply, all quickly got up when they heard the sound and quickly assembled in formation.
And the military scouts within 500 steps of the southeastern defense line.
He also quickly stood up and retreated amidst the high-pitched sound of the suona.
at the same time.
A raised rock that serves as a temporary command platform.
Li Ling suddenly opened his eyes the moment the suona sounded.
Then he quickly stood up and looked towards the front line of defense.
After seeing that there were no enemy troops at the forefront of the defense line.
Then he quickly looked forward.
As far as the eye can see.
It was clearly visible that scarlet fire dragons were constantly marching towards the southeastern defense line.
"Open fire is coming!"
See this scene.
Li Ling's face became visibly serious.
The so-called night attack.
They often take advantage of their unpreparedness and attack them unexpectedly.
If one party attacks with an open fire at night.
Then the night attack becomes a night battle.
In all night battles, rivers of blood flow, and all fights are fought to the death.
"General!"
"The Huns are attacking with open fire!"
Just as Li Ling was observing the enemy situation below with an extremely solemn expression.
General Li Zhong rushed from the front line quickly.
"Immediately take my order to the central army!"
"Report to the general the enemy situation here!"
"Please, General, send troops for reinforcements!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ling immediately took off the seal from his waist and handed it to Li Zhong.
Although he had no way of knowing the specific number of troops and horses coming to attack the enemy.
But look at the lit torches.
The number of enemy troops coming to attack this time will definitely be large.
The number is five thousand.
Judging from the troops and horses of our own troops and the existing reserves of ordnance, rocks, wooden piles and other items.
It is impossible to withstand such a large number of enemy troops.
"Follow the order!"
After hearing this, Li Zhong did not dare to delay at all, took the seal and quickly turned around and left the protruding rock.
He ran straight towards the place where the Chinese army was.
While running wildly, he kept peeling off his armor.
It's not that he doesn't want to ride a war horse.
In fact, the entire Minghu Mountain except where the Chinese army is located.
None of the space is suitable for horse racing.
Sometimes horse racing is not as fast as galloping.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
Li Zhong, who only had leg greaves left in his armor, ran to the central army out of breath holding the seal of the Northern General.
After snatching a war horse, Li Zhong got on the horse and clamped down on the horse's belly.
"Emergency military situation on the southeastern defense line!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"Emergency military situation on the southeastern defense line!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Li Zhong galloped on his horse and reached a hundred and fifty paces away from the high command platform of the Chinese army.
After checking the general's seal, he walked quickly to the command platform under the guidance of several Chinese army guards.
"Come to me, General!"
"The Huns from the southeastern defense line are attacking with open fire!"
"Please also ask the general to mobilize reinforcements!"
Li Zhong cupped his fists in salute and quickly reported.
"The Huns attack the southeastern defense line with open fire?!"
Upon hearing this, General Sima Li Guangli, who was on the command platform, left the Taishi's chair with a "thump" sound.
Then he lowered his head and looked at Li Zhong, frowning and asked in a deep voice.
"Return to the general."
"The Huns attack the southeastern defense line with open fire!"
"At this time, it is very likely that the enemy and we are already at war!"
"Please also ask the general to send troops to help quickly!"
Li Zhong repeated loudly and anxiously.
"Do you know the size of the enemy's troops?!"
Li Guangli asked in a deep voice again as if he hadn't heard.
"Return to the General!"
"Based on the torches, the enemy has at least five thousand troops!"
The anxious Li Zhong answered loudly again after hearing this.
After hearing this, Li Guangli ignored Li Zhong and turned to look at the southern defense line.
As far as the eye can see.
It can be seen that several dense fire dragon soldiers are heading straight towards the southeast and southwest defense lines in two paths.
Looking down from the Chinese military command platform.
Although it can be seen that the fire dragons are densely packed, it is extremely difficult to estimate the approximate number of Xiongnu soldiers and horses because of the distance.
"General!"
"After the day's battle on the southeastern defense line, there are only about 1,300 fighting soldiers left."
"And after the day's battle, only half of the rocks, rolling logs and other objects that were collected were recovered."
"Without reinforcements, the southeastern defense line will be in danger!"
"Please also ask the general to mobilize troops and horses to support the southeastern defense line!"
Seeing that Li Guangli had not spoken for a long time, the anxious Li Zhong couldn't help but urge him.
"Where is Shi Yuange!"
Li Guangli turned around slowly, but never glanced at Li Zhong in the audience.
"The general is here!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Qu of the Chinese Army, Shi Yuange, immediately stepped out of the line and saluted with clasped fists.
"Ask Ruqu to immediately reinforce the Northern General's headquarters! There must be no mistake!"
Li Guangli ordered in a deep voice.
By now, the entire Zhou army in Minghu Mountain was like a grasshopper on a rope.
We can't talk about the success of both sides, but it is still a certainty that both sides will suffer losses.
How could Li Guangli sit back and watch the southeastern defense line fall?
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Qu of the Chinese Army, Shi Yuange, immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.
"When you go here, you must be prepared to conquer the North General!"
"Zheng
The Northern General’s Order is this General’s Order! "
Li Guangli paused for a moment, then commanded again in a deep voice.
He has a deep understanding of military ability and commanding operations.
Even ten Shi Yuanqi would be hard-pressed to defeat one Li Ling.
In such a situation where everyone loses, how could Li Guangli stumble again?
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuange immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.
The words are over.
Shi Yuange walked down the high platform quickly, and then walked straight towards his troops.
Li Zhong, who looked troubled, hesitated for a few breaths, but in the end he could only sigh silently.
Then he followed Shi Yuange and left.
Li Guangli's last words were, on the one hand, telling Shi Yuange that this battle must be led by General Li Ling, who conquered the north.
On the other hand, Li Zhong was invisibly blocked from continuing to ask for help.
As a close confidant of Li Ling, how could Li Zhong fail to hear what Li Guangli meant?
More than a quarter of an hour later.
The commander of the Chinese army, Shi Yuange, led 500 soldiers and horses to leave the Chinese army.
After Shi Yuange, Li Zhong and others completely disappeared from the Chinese army.
Li Guangli slowly looked back at Shi Yuange, Li Zhong and others.
Then he looked at the southern defense line again.
As far as the eye can see.
It was faintly visible that the enemy and ourselves on the southeast and southwest defense lines seemed to be at war.
"Where is the master and where is the pretense?"
Li Guangli kept looking between the southeastern defense line and the southwest defense line.
The reason was that he only allocated 500 troops to assist Li Ling's tribe.
It's not because he doesn't want to give up his troops.
In the situation of one loss and all losses, even though the Chinese army's troops and horses suffered more than half casualties due to the reinforcement of various ministries.
Li Guangli will not show any distress at all.
The reason why this time was that only 500 soldiers and horses were allocated to reinforce Li Ling's tribe.
The core reason was that Li Guangli could not tell which line of defense was the main attack by the Huns and which line was the Xiongnu's feint attack.
The battle during the day seemed to be extremely fierce between the two warring parties.
But Li Guangli knew it very well.
The battle in the daytime was just a test between Jordan and Mu Liangha.
The purpose of the test is to explore the weaknesses of the five lines of defense.
This is a good way to concentrate our forces and defeat them in one fell swoop.
Just as Li Guangli kept looking back and forth between the southeastern defense line and the southwest defense line.
In my heart, I kept thinking deeply.
Suddenly, several people rushed outside the Chinese army's tent.
Not long after.
The leader, holding a military seal, walked through the numerous military formations and arrived a hundred and fifty steps away from the command platform.
After the military seal is verified.
The leader then walked quickly to the command platform under the guidance of several personal guards.
"Report!"
"Come to me, General!"
"The northwest defense line is attacked by the Huns' open fire!"
"The situation is critical! Please ask the general to mobilize troops and horses for reinforcements as soon as possible!"
The visitor walked to the command podium, quickly clasped his fists and saluted loudly.
"Lin Heyunbu."
"It seems that the Huns are most likely to attack the southeast and northwest defense lines."
When Li Guangli heard this, his brows instantly furrowed and he murmured in a low voice.
Among the five defense lines in Minghu Mountain, only Li Ling's troops guarding the southeastern defense line and Lin Heyun's troops guarding the northwest defense line have the smallest number of troops.
Before the first battle in the daytime, Li Ling's troops could fight 1,500 troops, and King Zhao's general Lin Heyun's troops could fight more than 1,400 troops.
After the first battle in the daytime, Li Ling's army had more than 1,300 combatable troops.
As for Lin Heyun's tribe, there are only more than 1,100 people left.
It would be reasonable if Jordan and Mu Liangha took this as a breakthrough.
Thinking about this.
Li Guangli couldn't help but shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to drive away all the extra thoughts in his mind.
Banish it from your mind.
He also knew that among the five lines of defense, only Li Ling's and Lin Heyun's troops had the smallest number of troops, and they were also the most likely to be used as a breakthrough point by Jordan and Mu Liangha.
But Li Guangli was suspicious by nature.
Always habitually complicate simple things, or make simple things conspiratorial.
"How many enemy troops are there?"
Li Guangli calmed down for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.
"Return to the general."
"General Lin said that the enemy's troops are at least 4,000 strong!"
When the visitor heard this, he quickly clasped his fists and shouted loudly.
"More than four thousand people..."
"Where is Colonel Yokono!"
Li Guangli murmured in a low voice and then nodded.
"The general is here!"
Upon hearing this, Colonel Liang Zhongyi of Yokoye quickly stepped out of the queue and saluted with clasped fists.
"Let your troops rush to the aid of General Lin immediately!"
"Be sure to keep the enemy out of the defense line!"
Li Guangli ordered in a deep voice.
"Follow the order!"
After hearing this, Colonel Liang Zhongyi of Yokoye immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.
