Xubugen was also unable to break through the Central Army camp where Li Jue was. Li Jue's methods were more ruthless than Yan Xing. He even waited until the Huns drove the defeated soldiers to the range, and shot and killed them at the same time, regardless of the enemy and us. The more dense arrow rains of arrows took away the lives of the defeated soldiers. He also traumatized the Huns' hungry wolf, who had no way to hide his tracks. He had to stare with green eyes, lick the wounds, and dared not go forward to attack the camp again.
After the two centurions' cavalry troops sent out also failed to burn food, and after retreating and gathering, Xubugen knew that there would be no other breakthroughs in the camp tonight. It seemed that these Han troops had gathered many elite troops from foreign towns, and were no longer the ordinary county soldiers who were defeated as if they had suffered setbacks.
Thinking of this, Xubugen already had a scheming in his mind.
The essence of the Huns' tactics is "advance when it is profitable, retreat when it is unfavorable, and not ashamed to escape." The cavalry's high mobility quickly entered the enemy's weak areas, brought out a wave of blood rain, and quickly escaped from the enemy's attack range. It is precisely because of this that although Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty devoted all the efforts of the Han Empire to attack the Huns, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the two good generals who continued to defeat the Huns, the far-flew Huns still fought a hundred-year Han-Hungary War in the Hanhai, Mobei and other places.
The power of the Southern Xiongnu was far less than that of the glorious magnificent when he was at the beginning of the former Han Dynasty. However, this tactic has penetrated into their bones. Yu Fuluo was like a dog with a family, but he was able to carry three or four thousand Xiongnu and various Hu cavalry between prefectures and counties in the Han area, leaving the governors and prefects in various places helpless. He was definitely not an incompetent person. Subugen, one of the few commanders under his command, could survive, and it was not purely luck.
After Xubugen merged with Qi's troops, he had already seen people and horses in the Han army's battalions constantly dispatched, forming a torrent of counterattack, preparing to encircle his bluffing night-attack horse from both sides. He knew that the elite of these Han soldiers was not inferior to the Xiongnu cavalry under his command. Once they were bitten, they wanted to escape unstoppable.
Anyway, he had taken the opportunity to rush to the front camp of the Han army camp tonight, and killed many Han soldiers, causing a lot of shock to them in his heart. He had achieved the goal of Subugen attacking the enemy camp at night. He raised his sword again and asked the Xiongnu cavalry around him to blew the horn of retreat, and ordered the Xiongnu people to retreat while igniting everything along the way, using fire instead of soldiers, and using fire to block the pursuit soldiers against the Han army.
So, in the rapid sound of trumpets, the force came fiercely, like the overwhelming Huns gathered quietly like ghosts in the night, retreated from the original path, and threw all the torches on the way to the camp again. It turned out that the long, fang-flapping fire dragon quickly disappeared, leaving only the sound of horse hooves that kept moving away in the darkness, proving that their footprints were coming.
···
After the Huns retreated, the movements in the Han army camp had not subsided. In the messy camps, there were ashes of black smoke, sparks fluttering in the wind, corpses separated from their bodies and heads, and wounded soldiers who were wailing and screaming. All of this reminded the Han army soldiers of everything that had just happened in half an hour.
Xu Kun and Yan Xing agreed to signal that after joining forces to rush out, the Huns also sounded the horn of retreat. He led people to rush forward, but unfortunately he only killed one or two Huns who were unlucky when retreating in the dark. Xu Kun naturally did not dare to go out of the camp to chase again. He was so angry that he looked at the messy front camp, and threw the iron pole on his head heavily to the ground, cursing:
"These Huns were also too cunning. They not only bite away the bait meat, but also let them decouple and leave!"
Yan Xing looked at the soldiers who had sent the Central Army to extinguish the flames, and he didn't say anything. As the former lord of the grassland, the Huns would naturally not be an ordinary character. They were as cruel as wolves and as cunning as foxes. This was a true portrayal of their battlefield. Xu Kun wanted to use the Central Army camp as bait and thus encircle the Huns on both sides. Although it was a pity, it was no big deal. In the future, he would find these Huns to get this back on the battlefield.
However, looking at the army horses and soldiers who were eccentric in a hurry from the Zhongjun camp, Yan Xing couldn't help but think that at this time, the three lieutenants were in the worst mood.
···
In the Central Military Camp, in Li Jue's military tent, Guo Si, who led the cavalry to catch up with the Huns, whirled up and opened the curtain of the military tent, and walked in very strode. He threw the picked bag aside. Regardless of Li Jue, Zhang Ji sat in the tent, walked straight to an empty stool, and sat down with his butt. But after thinking about it, he still held his anger and couldn't help but get up and patted the table in front of him, making a "bang" slam, and cursed hatefully:
"It's because these Huns were running fast, otherwise, Nai Gong cut off their heads and made them into urinating pots. Let's see how they dare to run to the camp where we are waiting for next time!"
Guo Si was still not satisfied with cursing, and he cursed and slapped the table a few more times. However, Li Jue in the tent and Guo Si did not persuade him as usual. He couldn't help but stop his palm, which was a little painful, and looked at the other two in the tent in surprise.
Zhang Ji looked serious, and at this moment, his face was covered with a layer of haze, and he kept his lips silent, while Li Jue kept silent, with his eyelids drooping, as if he was asleep. Seeing this, Guo Si couldn't help but widen his eyes, pointing at Zhang Ji, Li Jue and others, and asked angrily:
"What are you doing? The camp was trampled by the Huns. You can still stay here to learn alchemy and practice Qi and fast! "
Zhang Ji did not answer the conversation. Li Jue's eyes raised slightly, he glanced at the angry Guo Si and said with a smile:
"Old Guo, don't be anxious. After fighting for so many years, I have never seen any battles. I have been attacked by the Qianghu camp again and again. What are you anxious about?"
"this--"
Guo Si was said by Li Jue, although he couldn't vent his anger and could not speak any refutation. He snorted coldly, sat back to his position, stretched out his foot to kick the case in front of him away to vent his neglected dissatisfaction.
Guo Si used to be a horse thief, licking blood from the knife, and had a violent temper. Li Jue and Zhang Ji knew about it. Seeing his rude behavior, the two looked at each other and said nothing. However, after seeing Li Jue's eyes, Zhang Ji finally spoke:
"It seems that these Xiongnu people are also elites from the Shanyu headquarters. Although there are not many people, it is quite difficult to fight—"
Guo Si snorted again, glared at him, and said without hesitation:
"Aren't you talking nonsense? No matter how depressed Yu Fuluo was, he was also the right wise king of the Huns. How could these Xiong cavalry under his command not be the elite of the Shanyu headquarters?"
Zhang Ji was interrupted by Guo Si for no reason and became angry. He glared at Guo Si. Guo Si was also an arrogant character in the army. He had never been afraid of others except Dong Zhuo. Although Zhang Ji was both a captain with him, he looked at him without showing any weakness, and he wanted to take action if he had a disagreement. Zhang Ji knew Guo Si's temper. After looking at each other for a while, he looked away first and stopped talking.
Li Jie waited intentionally or unintentionally before he spoke slowly:
"Just just now, the situation after the central army officers have initially counted. Tonight, all the tents and supplies of the front camp were burned down, and the other battalions also suffered minor losses. The soldiers in the front camp were the most killed and injured. Although the numbers of each battalion have not been reported, the losses are estimated to be no less than 500 people!"
This is the case caused by this night attack. The soldiers who were killed by the Huns themselves were a small number of soldiers. Instead, they were frightened and ran away by the horses in the camp, and the casualties caused by the chaotic trampling of their own soldiers. The tents burned by the Huns were countless. Fortunately, the rear camp was not rushed in by the Huns' cavalry. Otherwise, before the battle was fought, all the food, grass and supplies would be gone, and Li Jue and others led their troops to rescue Linfen. The sun was over.
Guo Si let out a long sigh, clenched his right fist and hit his left hand, and cursed:
"The front camp is mostly mixed with the Northern Army, and these Kanto soldiers can't help but fight. If this continues, how can they fight in this battle-"
"It's just a small defeat, not a big deal. Although these Huns are strong, they have few people. On the battlefield, as long as they entangle them with a ranger, and then fight the main force of the Baibo bandit with all their might, what big deal can these Huns who come here to escape!"
When Li Jue saw Guo Si having a cowardly fight tonight, he was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger. He was afraid that he would continue to talk nonsense, so he directly interrupted Guo Si. After Guo Si was interrupted, he did not feel much disgusted. He had fought with Li Jue many times in the past. Knowing that Li Jue's ability did not glar at Li Jue like he did to Zhang Ji.
At this time, Zhang Ji felt a little more uncomfortable when he saw Guo Si being interrupted. He turned to Li Jue and asked:
"These Xiongnu people are also quite powerful, I'm afraid they are not inferior to my cavalry in the cold. The situation in Linfen is not as you said in front of everyone in the daytime!"
Li Jue nodded and continued:
"That's right, I'm just afraid that the soldiers are afraid of Bai Bo and the Huns are powerful and dare not go north. So I guess they have exaggerated the advantages of our army to strengthen everyone's intention to go north to rescue Linfen. General Niu's letter is difficult to distinguish the true or false, but I'm afraid that the situation in Linfen is indeed not good!"
After hearing Li Jue's words, Zhang Ji did not respond for the time being. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Li Jue's previous discussion with them before, he was not Guo Si and his inner thoughts would not be revealed on his face. Niu Fu's military skills and who have been living in Dong's camp for a long time, they all knew each other. Following his father-in-law and fighting verbal battles, he was really good. He led an army alone and would be defeated when he encountered an enemy like the Huns who were both cunning and difficult to deal with.
Guo Si was even more disdainful of Niu Fu's ability to lead the troops. He did not say it because of his position in Dongying. However, this suddenly reminded him of something, and he reached out to pat his thighs and shouted:
