Li Zihao raised his hand to signal, and the caravan behind him immediately stopped.

At such a sensitive time as the Hun Rebellion, especially when he received Ma Chao's secret order, he quickly returned to Chang'an. Li Zihao couldn't help but cheer up.

Originally, this return trip should have been escorted by Ma Jiajun. But the plan really couldn't catch up with the changes, Li Zihao found another profiteering industry in the Huns, delayed the trip, and in desperation, he had to let Ma Jiajun go back first. But it's this time difference, and the Huns are in chaos!

After dismounting and walking slowly, after stepping over a low bush, the world in front of him seemed to open up at once, the blue sky stretched to the end of the earth, the half-man-high thatch covered the rugged earth tightly, there were no birds here, there were no beasts, the whole hillside was filled with a strong bloody smell, even the crows, who liked to peck at carrion, avoided this place of death far away.

Pushing aside the messy grass, Li Zihao was shocked to find a young body that had long lost its life lying on its back in the grass, and the wolf's tooth arrow pierced his throat, freezing his life forever in this most beautiful year. The wolf's tooth on the cluster of arrows was also missing, as if mocking the Ma family's incompetence.

Further on, the thatch on the ground was trampled to pieces, and there were even more corpses, all naked Han Chinese: the Huns who were dogs had not only killed them, but also stripped them of their clothes.

This is a smuggling team, and Li Zihao judged their identities when he came up. From those dressed and wheels on the ground, he knew that this was a pathetic caravan.

Since the Ma family opened the Xiongnu trade, many caravans with active minds have made up their minds. At first, they also paid an escort fee and hired Ma Jiajun to escort them. But later, as the Ma Jiajun became more and more powerful on the Xiongnu territory, many Xiongnu tribes no longer dared to provoke the Han caravan at all - as long as they moved a trace of goods, the Ma Jiajun would raze their tribes! Moreover, the Xiongnu royal court will not make any tough response.

The reason is very simple, most of those goods fell into the hands of the Xiongnu royal court. Nor will they condone the third-rate tribes to rob them of their fruits.

But in this way, those caravans in the later period became bolder. They directly waved a Majia flag, and came to the Xiongnu trade with such a swagger. Until today, after the Xiongnu rebellion, these lowest-level caravans were the first to be slaughtered and plundered by those Huns!

There were no survivors, forty-two in all, which was the number of this caravan.

It is conceivable that these strong businessmen who pin their heads to their belts should still talk and laugh when they return, thinking that after making this money, they will go to the Longmen Inn to eat the most delicious food in the world, drink the most mellow wine, and then go to Baihualou to find the most beautiful singer.........

But at this moment, each corpse's eyes widened and they looked fixedly at the blue sky, and they probably wanted to remember the last beauty of this world.

Li Zihao, who traveled from south to north, had seen too many such tragic scenes, he did not show irritability, nor did he have special sadness, he just closed the eyes of these people one by one, and then with the other people, he dug a big pit with the sapper shovel produced by the Ma Arsenal, and buried them together, without erecting a monument, and no one would come to pay tribute if he died here.

But at this moment, Li Zihao suddenly saw a crow flying in the distance, faintly accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves: this is the Huns with their children to watch their glorious achievements, they are such a generation-to-generation teaching, generation after generation inheritance.

Moreover, Li Zihao, who is familiar with the tactics of the Huns, knows that this nomad also has a more terrifying skill, that is, if one person discovers the enemy, he can gather the warriors of all tribes to come to slaughter and plunder within half an hour!

Li Zihao immediately stopped digging the pit in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the place where the crow took off: there were rolling hills. It seemed that something was rapidly approaching in the shadows of the hills. Before he could discern what it was, the bloody memory in his brain was immediately turned up, and Li Zihao was the first to drop the armory shovel, and shouted hoarsely: "Quickly hide, lie on the ground, carefully surround the cart in a circle, and return fire to the enemy in the circle!" ”

Li Zihao did not participate in the special training of Ma Jiajun, but his broad knowledge has given him the characteristics of a qualified general: the Huns' favorite is the Han army that scattered and fled, so that they can rely on their skilled equestrian skills to kill the Han army as prey one by one!

The correct thing to do is to follow Li Ling's example of the past when he set out a 10,000-strong crossbow formation, divided the troops into several sideways, guarded them together, went forward to aim at the arrows, and the rear line was used as a preparation. In this way, they take turns to shoot so that they can deal powerful blows to the enemy in a cyclical and uninterrupted manner.

Li Ling's 5,000 soldiers were surrounded by tens of thousands of Huns, although they finally surrendered due to the loss of arrows and the indefinite backup, but they also set a record of killing more than 10,000 enemies because of this formation.

And what Li Zihao needs is not to fight the Hun troops, he needs to delay the time and wait for Ma Jiajun to come to the rescue: when he returned, Li Zihao had already used carrier pigeons to deliver the news to Chang'an, presumably Ma Jiajun was already on the way to respond at this time!

But just when Li Zihao's words fell, there was a sharp sound that broke the air in all directions! It was at this time that Li Zihao saw the Huns pouring out from behind the hills: there were less than two hundred people coming, and the number was less than half of his five hundred caravans. But obviously, even though there were less than 200 of them, they still played the role of hunters!

Because Li Zihao clearly knew that these two hundred people, as long as they had a cup of tea, would call for thousands, or even tens of thousands, of tribal troops!

The best estimate is to kill all these 200 people quickly, and then flee this place quickly!

But at the same time, Li Zihao also knew that this was simply wishful thinking. These people in the caravan are not Ma Jiajun who have won all battles at all. After the first round of fire from the Huns, some of them were already frightened and overwhelmed, and completely fell into a state of confusion and despair.

However, there are also many strong men who are very familiar with the Ma family's army. After hearing Li Zihao's warning, they immediately reacted and turned over and hid behind the cart. Then, the carts began to move one by one. At such a critical moment, everyone struggled desperately, and soon a circular formation formed in the clearing.

And Li Zihao, who was hiding behind the cart, ordered everyone to huddle one by one close to the cart, so that most of the arrows crossed the grain cart and were harmlessly inserted in the open space in the center of the cart. After such a short period of chaos, Li Zihao successfully became the military soul of this caravan.

But in fact, Li Zihao's palms are also sweating! Although he also has martial arts, he has also learned the family boxing technique. But when it comes to forming a battle in a formation, he is completely based on the essentials of Hu Kan, the generals of the Ma family. After the panic, Li Zihao also knew that this was not the way, and said stubbornly: "Who has the Yuanrong crossbow?!" ”

As the god of wealth of the Ma family, it is normal for Li Zihao to have some Yuan Rong crossbows. However, after all, those things are 'Ma family weapons', and in Li Zihao's memory, there are only more than 20 Yuanrong crossbows he has.

Fortunately, those strong men who have Yuanrong crossbows are all old men of the Li family who are extraordinary and have traveled from south to north. And after this round of riding and shooting, Li Zihao obviously heard the sound of horses' hooves and arrogant laughter of the Huns. In a moment of tranquility, Li Zihao gritted his teeth and took the lead in standing up: "It's now, shoot!" ”

With a 'click', Li Zihao saw the shocked face of the Hun on horseback. At the same time, Li Zihao also saw that on his Yuan Rong crossbow, because of his nervousness, he forgot to install crossbow arrows at all.........

"It's the Yuan Rong crossbow!" The Huns obviously knew the guy in Li Zihao's hands, and when he saw Li Zihao's stunned expression, he couldn't help but scream, revealing a fierce look like a wolf: "Sons, we sent it!" ”

And Li Zihao only felt that his brain was blank at this time: Damn, lord, I overplayed this time........
