A sudden attack severely damaged the morale of the Great Wall soldiers. Fortunately, General Meng and Young Master Su personally inspected and comforted the army, and the army gradually calmed down.
Young Master Su and the two Mongolian generals are not ordinary people.
The three of them were not afraid of the Xiongnu army's battles. They once defeated Chanyu and his remaining soldiers and fled all the way back to the depths of the desert, daring not to invade.
While the three of them were inspecting the army on the Great Wall, Li Xiuyuan brought Xiaohu and Meng Jiang to Miss Xiangfu's house.
Miss Xiangfu, who was anxious about the war ahead, asked while making tea: "Sir, are we sure we can win the battle in front of us?"
At this time, Li Xiuyuan was thinking about what kind of tactics King Shanyu of the Huns would use to fight next, and he didn't even hear what she said.
Xiaohu, who was concentrating on eating melon seeds, looked up and saw that his husband was distracted by his thoughts. He just poked Li Xiuyuan in the arm and said with a smile: "Sir, my sister is asking you a question."
"Why?"
After coming back to his senses, Li Xiuyuan looked at Miss Xiangfu and said, "Didn't His Highness already go up to the Great Wall for inspection?"
Miss Xiangfu sighed and said quietly: "I'm afraid this battle will drag on forever." Miss Xiangfu asked softly with a suspicious look on her face.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, I will go to the Great Wall with Xiaohu at night."
He didn't say whether he could win or not, nor how long this big battle would take, because these were all unknowns and beyond his control.
All he can do is go to the Great Wall from time to time to see the situation of the other party, and then give his own suggestions to Young Master Su.
Naturally, we have to rely on His Highness the Prince and the two generals to lead the soldiers of the Qin army for the battle.
When Meng Jiang heard that Li Xiuyuan was going to the Great Wall at night, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that brother is afraid of something happening at night?"
Xiaohu was naturally happy when he heard that his husband was taking him to the city. He didn't care who was fighting whom.
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "I'm just going for a walk to prevent them from attacking the camp in the middle of the night! I guess Xiaohu and I won't be back until midnight."
Thinking about the several battles he had experienced, although they came from different realms, the final experiences were not that different.
In a war, both sides want to win. It depends on who is well prepared and whose courage is invincible.
"Is there any danger?" Miss Xiangfu asked softly: "Didn't General Meng send a spy? If there is any danger, the spy can send back the news."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and smiled bitterly: "What if the spy falls asleep? What if the other party bypasses our spy?"
When Miss Xiaofu heard this, she couldn't help but reply: "How is it possible? The large team of people is dispatched with an obvious target, and even the sleeping spies will be awakened."
Speaking of this, Miss Xiangfu's expression changed immediately when she saw Meng Jiang's reaction, and she opened her mouth and was speechless for a long time.
After all, she had never fought in a war, she had only heard about it from Young Master Su and General Meng a few times.
She thought that the Huns army could not avoid the spy's sight and could not attack without anyone noticing, but she saw a solemn look in Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
It reminded her of the previous sneak attack, and then she remembered that this was a border crossing and anything could happen.
And she is not a general, so she cannot control the war ahead, so she can only sit at home and worry about Young Master Su.
Thinking of this, Miss Xiangfu couldn't help but cheer up and asked, "Do you want to tell His Highness and General Meng about this?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "This is just my guess. There is no need to tell His Royal Highness General Meng. Xiaohu and I can just go and have a look. There is no need to make everyone nervous."
Hearing this, Meng Jiang also nodded and said, "Brother is right. Everyone has finally calmed down before us. There is no need to panic too much."
Miss Xiangfu nodded, indicating that she understood.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "Sir, since this is the case, I won't mention it to His Highness and General Meng. We all need your help in this war..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Meng Jiang's nervous look and laughed: "Don't be afraid.
Just go home and pretend nothing happened. We'll be back in the middle of the night. "
It's not like he has never seen a scene with thousands of troops.
What's more, even if the Huns army attacked in the middle of the night, it wouldn't be a large army. He just had a feeling in his heart, just like the grassland army he led Nalan Yu and others to suddenly attack the three towns.
It's coming, it's coming.
On this day, Li Xiuyuan and Xiaohu had dinner with Miss Xiangfu and Meng Jiang, and the three of them drank a glass of wine.
When it was almost night, Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Hu mounted their war horses and headed for the Great Wall.
He has a token from Prince Su Fa and can freely pass through the military camps on the Great Wall and inspect all parts of the Great Wall.
Before the end of the Xu period, the moonlight fell.
The master and apprentice would sit high on the Great Wall Beacon Tower and look into the distance quietly, with Xiaohu muttering from time to time.
After all, Shanyu had never taken him with him on marches and battles. The only time he went to the Yuezhi tribe was almost killed by his own people.
After that incident, he had no good impression of the entire Xiongnu army.
In his and Yan's minds, the Huns army was the enemy of their mother and son, the bad guys who wanted their lives.
How could Li Xiuyuan know what Xiao Huxin was thinking.
After thinking for a while, he took out a bag of melon seeds and placed them on the battlement in front of him. He grabbed a handful for Xiaohu and started eating them himself.
There were two bows on the ground, an iron bow, a wooden bow, and a pile of iron arrows and talisman arrows.
If the opponent really comes to attack at night, they will naturally not fight face to face. Both sides will definitely use bows and arrows first.
The iron bow in his hand can reach places that cannot be seen with the eyes.
After all, he is no longer as big as Xiaohu in the world.
Since it was a night attack and it was a beacon tower on the Great Wall, there would naturally be no clattering of iron hooves. Even if they were to attack, the invading enemy would definitely tie their war horses to the edge of the woods at the foot of the mountain.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the little tiger eating melon seeds and couldn't help but ask: "Are you afraid?"
Xiaohu's mouth didn't stop, but his eyes narrowed a little tighter. He shook his head and said, "As long as Mr. is here, Xiaohu is not afraid."
Li Xiuyuan nodded, looked at the soldiers who were about to fall asleep not far away, and thought for a while without saying a word.
He just wanted a different result tonight. No matter how many Xiongnu soldiers came, he decided not to wake these guys up for the time being.
But he wanted to give these guys a warning: they couldn't sleep to death at night or make any mistakes in the future.
In any case, one or two people must stay awake at night.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan had transformed into the mountains, silently watching the subtle changes within the Great Wall.
Young Master Su has returned to his residence in Prince Village, and Miss Xiangfu is reporting to him the whereabouts of Li Xiuyuan.
Young Master Su frowned. In his opinion, it would be too dangerous for him to take Shang Hu up the Great Wall at night.
Just when he was about to get up, Miss Xiangfu pulled him back and said that everything would be discussed after he comes back.
Outside the Great Wall, the Huns army indeed came with a group of troops, heading towards the beacon tower where Li Xiuyuan was.
The general leading the army was a master. As expected, the war horses were tied outside the woods at the foot of the mountain. Under the cover of the moonlit night, there were probably hundreds of densely packed black shadows slowly coming up the mountain.
Looking back at Xiaohu, who was staring but found nothing, Li Xiuyuan smiled: "I will teach you how to detect dangers at night with your heart."
Xiaohu nodded and smiled: "Sir, if there is no danger, Xiaohu would like to sleep for a while." After watching for an hour, he felt a little sleepy.
It was a tiring day following my husband, and Xiaohu hadn't yet established his foundation, so his energy was simply not strong enough.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, took out a futon and placed it next to Shang Hu's feet. He smiled and said, "Come, put your head on it and sleep."
Hiding beside him and blocked by the battlements of the beacon tower, Xiaohu was safe.
"Xiaohu will sleep for a while. When there is a fight later, sir, he will ask Xiaohu to get up and help."
Xiaohu smiled and obediently lay down with his head on the futon next to his husband. After a while, he started snoring, just like the sleeping soldiers not far away.
"Just have a good dream here."
After speaking, he picked up the iron bow with one hand, held three iron arrows in his hand, and murmured to himself: "Now that I am here, I am your nightmare!"
Standing on the beacon tower, I quietly watched the Huns army slowly move up the mountain, but the expected alarm firework did not appear.
Did he fall asleep due to drowsiness, or was he attacked by his opponent?
At this time, it was no longer something he needed to worry about.
He even wondered if these sleeping soldiers suddenly woke up from their dreams, would they be able to block the attack of the sober, calm and ruthless Huns army?
He now believed why the beacon tower was so miserable that night because the soldiers of the Qin army did not have the habit of being vigilant at night.
There must be at least two people urging each other to keep vigil, right?
This was the skill he had taught Tantai Mingyue and the others on night vigil in Xuanwu Continent, but he didn't expect that Da Qin's army wouldn't know it.
After tonight, he felt that he should talk to Young Master Su about this matter.
The iron bow in his hand was not aimed at the enemy at the front. In the night wind, Li Xiuyuan changed his mind. He wanted to shoot the guy at the back of the group first.
He wants to cut off these guys' escape route.
"Whoosh!" There was a soft sound, and the iron arrows in the night wind streaked across like meteors, passing over the heads of a group of men in black, like a frightened night bird.
Then came the second and third arrows. Before the last guys in the team could react, the iron arrows had already penetrated into their chests. :
Before he even had time to utter a cry, he had already fallen towards the mountain, as if he had tripped over a branch.
It did not arouse the vigilance of the men in black in front, and the large group of people continued to touch it.
Because of the experience of the sneak attack not long ago, they relaxed their vigilance.
Since there was no response, Li Xiuyuan shot the iron arrows in his hand one after another.
It wasn't until the sound of rolling mountains frightened the general in front that he turned around and shouted loudly: "No, the other side has an ambush. Brothers, rush forward and kill them all."
Then, an earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted from the mountain.
Finally, the sleeping Qin army soldiers were awakened. They got up and lay on the battlements one by one, looking at the invading enemies in the mountains.
He yelled desperately: "The enemy is attacking, light the fire! Shoot arrows!"
Amidst the whining sound, the horn finally sounded on the beacon tower, just as the soldiers rushed over to light the fire.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at the visitor and said coldly: "No need, the soldiers here are enough to destroy them."
By the time General Meng arrives with his army, the war here is probably over. As long as there is a roar in the mountains, it will alert the soldiers on other beacon towers and prevent a second sneak attack.
Suddenly, arrows rained down from the Great Wall, heading towards hundreds of Huns soldiers.
After holding in their anger for several days, the soldiers of the Qin Army finally waited for the moment to vent their anger. They rushed out of the night one after another, just to avenge the soldiers who died a few days ago.
General Meng Tian, who was not far away, heard the roar of the beacon tower here. Although he did not light the beacon, he still rushed over with hundreds of soldiers.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the flying General Meng, sighed softly, and shot the last iron arrow from the bow in his hand.
The Qin army in front of him had already reacted. The soldiers from the two places were merged into one place. There were nearly a thousand people. He didn't need to worry anymore.
At this moment, the Qin army needs a hero, and the best hero is General Meng who flew over.
Not him, the wine shopkeeper.
