Chapter 20 Soldiers Trapped in the Wolf's Dwelling

"What sound?" Huo Qubing suddenly frowned, and just as Huo Qubing finished speaking, everyone heard a thunderous sound coming from a distance. Everyone was not unfamiliar with this sound. It was the sound of horse hooves, and it was the sound of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of war horses galloping.

"No, there is an ambush." ​​Many people yelled in panic in the future, but fortunately, Huo Qubing's command was full of big-man cavalry. Although he was a little panic, he quickly calmed down and lined up faster than before.

"Now is not the time to fight. The enemy is prepared. If we fight rashly, our army will be defeated." Huo Qubing's face was calm, but he kept thinking in his heart. As the commander of the entire army, he could not show panic at this time.

"Brother, what should I do now?" Huo Guang is closest to Huo Qubing. Although he is usually resourceful, he cannot have the ability to adapt to these emergencies.

"Mr. Marquis, there is a mountain road on the side that can enter the mountain, and there are no enemy troops in the canyon behind him." Before Huo Qubing made arrangements, the surrendered general Yi Zhixuan of the Huns had already told the situation he saw.

"This canyon cannot be retreated anymore. It is very likely that the Huns deliberately left this road and let us fall into the trap. They ordered the entire army to walk on the mountain road. They ordered Zhao Ponu's vanguard to cover the army for the rear." At this time, no one dared to return to the canyon. If the Huns also buried heavy troops on the other end, those tens of thousands of troops would be desperate to enter the canyon. So, as he had no choice but to choose to enter the mountains temporarily.

Although the mountain roads are narrow, it is not conducive to large-scale cavalry combat, such terrain is not only unfavorable to the Han cavalry, but also to the Hun cavalry. Moreover, the terrain in the mountains is changing, and it is impossible to set up an army of tens of thousands of thousands of troops. This can limit the advantage of the number of Huns.

Huo Guang also felt that Huo Qubing's choice was the best at the moment, but when he moved into the mountains, Huo Guang couldn't help but look back at the canyon. For some reason, Huo Guang felt that there were no ambushers from the Huns at all. Because everyone would think of the benefits of setting up ambushers in the canyon, then the Han army would definitely not return. If you put your heart in mind, the Huns could guess the choice of the Han army. But this was like an open plot, which made you dare not retreat even if you knew there was no ambush in the canyon.

In the past, Huo Guang only heard in books that the way of using military force is virtual and real, and is unpredictable. It was not until now that he deeply realized that the mystery of using military force is really a book that can never be read thoroughly!

Although the Han army has always wanted to fight the decisive battle with the Zuoxian King of the Huns, this decisive battle also requires timing. At present, the Han army avoided its edge and could not be considered as escaping. The 50,000 Han army retreated into Langjuxu Mountain, and during this period, it was not entangled by the Huns.

As soon as they entered the mountains, the Han army soon discovered something was wrong because the Huns did not follow them into the mountains. Although this was what the Han army wanted to see, it was just so uneasy.

"Report... Marquis, the Huns did not attack, but instead acted like they were camping at the foot of the mountain." Soon a soldier rushed to report. Sure enough, the Huns did not attack, but instead acted like they were besieged.

"Grandma, these Huns want to be trapped on the mountain. Marquis, my subordinates are willing to lead the army to kill him." Gao Buzhi's personality is the hottest, and he can't sit still at the moment. Moreover, in the past, the Han army often chased the Huns and fought. This time, Gao Buzhi was closed and retreated by the Huns. Gao Buzhi also held a fire in his heart.

"Be honest." Huo Qubing glared at Gao Buzhi, and his words were quite rude. You should know that both of them were actually marquis, and they were almost the same as in terms of titles. However, Gao Buzhi was also very conscious and shut up, and he became honest at once, and he couldn't see any complaints.

"Li Ganpuduo." Huo Qubing called out the names of the two.

"I'm here." The two of them immediately separated the crowd and appeared in front of Huo Qubing.

"You two bring some people to check the terrain in the mountains and come back as soon as possible to report to this marquis." Huo Qubing instructed the two that this time is indeed not the time to fight with the Huns, but it is better to understand the surrounding terrain first.

The two quickly left with the soldiers, but Huo Guang felt that it was a big problem. He estimated that Li Gan and Puduo would not find a way to leave here smoothly. Since the Huns intended to surround them here, it means that the terrain here was very unfavorable to the Han army.

"How long can the food and grass our army carry with us last?" Huo Qubing asked again. The besieged food and grass of the army is also the biggest hidden danger.

"When I return to the Marquis, our soldiers can only carry food with me, which is only enough for two days at most." This time, the person who answered Huo Qubing was Weishan, the commander of the northern region. Although Weishan also had a surname, he had nothing to do with Wei Qing.

"That is to say, we will have to fight the Huns tomorrow at the latest, but depending on this situation, they want to trap us to death on this mountain. Only see if there is anything found on Li Gan and his team." Huo Qubing also felt huge pressure. Although this mountain also restricted the attack of the Huns, the Han army also lost the opportunity to counterattack on a large scale, and the Huns only wanted to trap the Han army to death. The situation was already extremely serious.

"Oh no... Is it because I changed history that stirrups appeared in the Han army in advance, but the Huns also began to use strategies? It seems that there are experts in the Huns. This recruitment of soldiers trapped Langju completely killed the Han army. How to break this game?" Huo Guang was also extremely anxious. There was no such thing in history. He could only attribute this change to the cause and effect caused by changing history.

An hour later, Li Gan and Puduo returned. However, the news they brought back was not good at all, and it could even be said that the last little hope of the Han army was shattered.

"Marty, the situation is not good. We have seen it. There are several roads down the mountain, but these roads are difficult to accommodate large troops. Only a few soldiers can pass each time, and we also see that the Hun cavalry is everywhere. As long as we make movement, the Hun army can move quickly. Going down the mountain will only fall into the enemy's encirclement." Li Gan said everything that was found, and the generals were bleak.

"This is a dead end... I was either trapped to death on the mountain or went down the mountain to break through. But I couldn't go out again and again, and a large number of soldiers could die if the number was small. The Huns were on the plains, and as long as our army was moving, the Huns could arrive quickly. Could it be that I would die in this place in less than a year after I traveled through the Western Han Dynasty?" Huo Guang thought about it and felt that there was no good way to crack it. It can be said that from the moment the Han army entered the canyon, he fell into the trap of the Huns.

"You go and comfort the soldiers and let me calm down alone!" Huo Qubing said with his back to everyone, not knowing what he was thinking about at the moment.

All the generals turned around and left consciously. Although the situation was extremely serious, Huo Qubing's existence became the last pillar in the hearts of the Han army. Huo Guang did not leave with everyone, but sat silently beside Huo Qubing. However, he did not say anything, but just sat quietly, allowing Huo Qubing to think quietly.

"We can't lose this battle..." Huo Qubing sighed and said a long time later. Huo Guang was about to answer, but Huo Qubing continued: "For decades of fighting between the Han and the Huns, millions of people were killed and injured. Just last year, in the autumn of the third year of Yuanshou, Yi Zhixie's troops were divided into two groups, attacking Youbeiping and Dingxiang, killing more than 1,000 officials and people. If our army was defeated in this battle, Yi Zhixie and Zuo Xianwang would definitely join forces to go south. At that time, our Han Dynasty would be unable to resist, and the creatures would be tragic and blood would flow into a river!"

Huo Qubing's tone was extremely heavy, and it was even the first time Huo Guang felt this feeling in him. However, as Huo Qubing said, this battle was originally a battle between the Han and the whole country. If these 50,000 elite cavalry were buried in Mobei, the Han Dynasty would definitely be in a slump, and the Huns would be unable to move south at that time, there would be no resistance!

"Brother, don't be discouraged. I believe that we brothers are united and the soldiers use their lives, there may not be no way to win!" Although Huo Guang had no good idea, he knew that he could not say anything depressed at this time. Instead, he still had the confidence to mobilize Huo Qubing. As long as Huo Qubing was not in a state of energy, the spirit of the Han army would be there.

"A Guang, you want to be resourceful, may you have any good plans?" Huo Qubing's eyes lit up. He thought Huo Guang had thought of some cracking method again.

"This... I haven't thought about it yet. But my brother let me think about it for a while. The old man once told me that there is no way out, and any plan for time will also have loopholes. As long as we find loopholes in the enemy's layout, there will naturally be ways to crack it." Huo Guang could only grit his teeth, but in order to make Huo Qubing believe it, he brought out the mysterious old man who was fabricated.

"This statement is indeed reasonable. It seems that the old gentleman who teaches you is also a strange man. Is it a descendant of the Mo family?" Huo Qubing heard Huo Guang mention the mysterious man who designed stirrups again. Through these remarks and what Huo Guang said before, Huo Qubing thought that this man was a descendant of the Mo family. Because Emperor Wu of Han respected Confucianism for a long time, although the descendants of other theories of the various philosophers rarely appeared, the various philosophers still exist.

"Maybe... After all, there are many strange people in the world. I heard that there is a Dongfang master in the court who is the descendant of the Yin-Yang family?" Huo Guang was very happy to think about it this way. Through this period of understanding, Huo Guang also knew that there are still hundreds of schools of thought in today's society. Although it is not as prosperous as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some descendants of the theories were also hidden, but most of the theories and descendants of the various schools of thought are still popular in society. The Dongfang master mentioned by Huo Guang is Dongfang Shuo, a famous "Zhisheng" hidden in the court.
