In the afternoon, the sun was shining slightly.
Continuing to chase the traces of the Han army, Black Fox seemed extra cautious.
Scouts were sent out continuously to explore the road ahead, ready to respond at any time.
Li Shang chuckled and said, "As long as I'm here, you don't have to be so careful. When I'm on the battlefield, I can use my practice to observe my qi. The Han army has already gone far and is no longer nearby."
I propose a military strategy for marching. You ask your entourage to wait on horseback for a while, and I help you hide your march. "
Black Fox's vigilance remained undiminished, and his eyes scanned the distance flexibly: "Mr. Li doesn't know something. We can only survive to this day by being cautious."
Li Shang took out a pair of bamboo slips.
This was his preparation for the trip.
The bamboo slips record the marching methods that he instilled in military masters and copied.
Li Shang used military tactics to promote the bamboo slips, and the bamboo slips recording the marching methods shone slightly.
The Han and Hungarians were at war, and a military spirit of war filled the air for hundreds of miles, as if inspired by the simple book. The marching spirit in the book is differentiated and merged with the void.
In a trance, it seemed as if there was a subtle power covering the people under Black Fox's command, forming a blessing.
Black Fox and his men and horses couldn't help but feel that the entire team seemed to be connected by Qi and became a whole. Even the sound of the horses' hooves was reduced when they were marching, which was extremely mysterious.
Black Fox said: "Did Mr. Li use military tactics?"
I have also collected some marching methods over the years, but they are not as sophisticated as Li Gong's method. "
Li Shang said calmly: "What I use is the hidden marching method of Li Mu, the famous general of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period. Unfortunately, I only inherited part of it and it is not complete. Otherwise, the entire team will march silently, and it can hide the Qi, making it impossible for people to watch.
Generals who are successful military practitioners all have their own marching strategies. If they can train with the soldiers day and night, the whole team will have the same energy and will have more wonderful effects. "
Black Fox's subordinates are a miscellaneous army. Compared with the real military strategists, they are far inferior, and many methods cannot be used.
The team continued to move forward, but Li Shang was still observing the traces on the ground: "This Han army is chasing and driving away the defeated Huns."
There was a pair of hands beside the black fox, a plump middle-aged woman: "The Han army is driving away the defeated Huns?"
Li Shangdao: "When hunting, if you injure a rabbit and let it go back to its nest, you can find more of its companions. And because the rabbit is injured, it will also bring panic to its companions.
The Han army wanted to find more Huns, and they were driving the Huns back to their camps. "
The woman pursed her lips and said, "It's surprising that this Han army is so warlike. Aren't they afraid that there are so many soldiers in the Xiongnu camp that they will be eaten instead?"
"The number of people in the Xiongnu camp can be known by simply interrogating the prisoners and comparing them with each other. The Han army already knows it."
"What means does Mr. Li have to win? Maybe he can tell you a thing or two first so that we can feel at ease?"
Li Shang smiled slightly: "The military talisman I cultivate is the best at attacking and killing enemy generals. Once something unexpected happens, you can just wait and deal with it. The more chaotic the situation, the more confident I will be."
Black Fox was thinking about the chaos you mentioned. He was afraid that we would need to contain the Han army and create opportunities for you... He turned around and winked at a few of his confidants.
While several people were talking, Li Shanghu said: "Starting from here, the hoof marks suddenly deepened, and the Han army began to gather strength. I am afraid that the Huns camp is just ahead."
The scouts sent by Black Fox were also riding back, confirming Li Shang's judgment.
"Ahead is the Huns' camp."
At the end of the line of sight, there are undulating low hills, which is where the Huns camped.
The scout said: "That camp is full of corpses, and the smell of blood is wafting around. If the Han and Hungarians hadn't started a war in this area, I'm afraid it would have attracted wolves."
A quarter of an hour later, Black Fox and others approached cautiously after confirming that the battle was over in the Huns camp.
The Xiongnu rangers led by Xu Bu Yongtu came to the Han border and started hunting. When they set up a trap to kill Huo Qubing, most of the more than two thousand people around him accompanied him, and only a few hundred people stayed in the temporary camp.
Huo Qubing led his troops to attack the camp. After nearly an hour, the battle was over.
When Li Shang, Hei Hu and others arrived, the Han army led by Huo Qubing had disappeared again.
"You guys are scattered around, be careful and alert. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."
Before Black Fox entered, he sent additional scouts again.
The camp in front of him was so quiet that it made him very uneasy.
The temporary camp was small in scale, with only continuous leather tents arranged in a ring.
Entering the camp, you can see the corpses of Hun soldiers, hundreds of them, piled up in the most conspicuous position in the camp.
Through observation, we can see that less than half of these Xiongnu soldiers were penetrated and killed by the Han army's standard spears.
This shows that the Han army that rushed to the camp was very fast and swept the entire Xiongnu camp with the help of a violent storm, which was able to create this kind of scornful effect.
The Han army commanded by Huo Qubing was so powerful that it repeatedly refreshed Li Shang's prior judgment.
He, Black Fox and others quickly inspected the entire camp.
Not a single one was left alive.
"Let's leave first. I feel like something is wrong with this camp..." Black Fox looked gloomy.
After entering the camp, he felt increasingly uneasy. This is a sense of danger that he has developed through years of licking blood from his knife.
"After the Huns soldiers were killed, why were they piled together?"
One of Black Fox's men said: "Some were hung outside the tent."
Li Shang's expression suddenly changed: "Let's get out of here first."
He suddenly thought that after Huo Qubing led his army to attack the camp, he deliberately left the corpses of the Huns and piled them together. The purpose could only be to anger other Huns who returned to the camp, so Huo Qubing still planned to continue fighting with the Huns.
In other words, this camp was deliberately arranged by Huo Qubing, and they rushed in headlong.
Is it possible... the Han army led by Huo Qubing didn't leave at all, and was somewhere nearby, waiting to block the Xiongnu's return to camp again.
And they followed all the way and broke into the trap set by Huo Qubing first!
There are Han troops in the dark, hiding nearby!
Li Shang felt a chill that made his whole body icy cold, and asked anxiously: "Where did the Han army go after they attacked here? Have they found the hoof prints?"
The route and traces of the withdrawal of the Han army have never been discovered. After they attacked the camp, they disappeared like ghosts.
Li Shang's thoughts were rising and falling, so why were the traces of the march they had followed all the way so obvious? Was it that the Han army was setting up a net and wanted people to follow their trail, so they left it behind on purpose?
Huo Qubing should not be targeting Li Shang or Heihu, but deliberately leaving traces and targeting the Huns.
Li Shang quickly connected the cause and effect of the whole thing in his mind, and his heart-beating feeling became more intense.
He, Black Fox and the others quickly mounted their horses, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they successfully left the Huns camp.
"Go quickly! If you wait too long, things will change."
Li Shang was unknowingly plotted against, and the shadow in his heart continued to expand.
"Didn't you say that soldiers can watch Qi? Didn't you see that this was a trap before you came in?"
Black Fox also reacted and was a little angry.
The group of people rode out of the camp in a hurry and rode away into the distance.
A few miles away from the Xiongnu camp, there is a low hill.
The setting sun was shining in the evening. Huo Qubing sat on his horse and looked at the team of Li Shang and others in the distance.
"We originally wanted to lure a group of Xiongnu soldiers back. Where did this team come from? They have such messy clothes." Zhao Ponu on the side frowned.
"They came in our direction...and they still dared to enter the Xiongnu camp when they saw it. Now they left in a hurry. I'm afraid they realized that there was a plan in the camp. There is something wrong with this team, so stop them."
"If their origin is unclear, we will kill them."
Huo Qubing's gaze turned to the depths of the grassland: "The battle between my uncle and the main force of the Huns should be coming soon. Let's go and join in the fun."
"only!"
Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao agreed in unison, and rode out with a roar, followed closely by nearly a thousand armored soldiers behind them, and charged straight at Black Fox and Li Shang.
