Chapter 44: Grain and grass are attacked
"Hey, what do you mean by that disgusting look?" Li Hao finally found that Li Ping's expression was wrong.
"Nothing." Li Ping hurriedly looked up at the top of the camp tent, avoiding Li Hao's eyes.
"Forget it, come on, eat chicken wings, it's delicious." Li Hao had a big heart, didn't care about these, and handed her the chicken wings again.
Li Ping was actually tempted by this fragrance for a long time, so she took it half-pushed and half-on-the-spot, only took a bite gently, and her mouth was suddenly full of fragrance, and her two eyes were bright.
Li Hao saw her expression and asked happily: "How is it, is it delicious?" ”
Li Ping nodded excitedly: "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious." ”
She suddenly remembered to be a little reserved in front of this scoundrel, so she hurriedly restrained her smile and pretended to be indifferent: "It's okay." ”
"Cut, it can really be pretended." Li Hao suddenly rolled his eyes disdainfully, tore off two chicken thighs and wrapped them in lotus leaves and put them in front of Li Ping, and then hugged the chicken body and gnawed it.
Li Hao's eating appearance is a little rude, but it is not ugly at all, but quite a bit manly, Li Ping ate delicious food in his mouth, secretly looked at him, and was full of curiosity about Li Hao in her heart, because she found Li Hao very interesting, to say that he is a scoundrel in the market, he has no misdeeds in living in the same camp with him, to say that he is useless, he knows a lot of things, at least he once gave a prescription to treat the plague, and the things he made are so delicious, she really can't figure out what kind of person Li Hao is.
This is the first day that Li Hao and Li Ping get along, in general, it is not too pleasant, but it is not bad, at least he asked Li Ping's age, only twelve years old, Li Hao was very shocked when he heard this answer, he developed so well at the age of twelve, if he was in the future world, he would definitely suspect that she had eaten too many hormones, and when he thought that he actually pinched the chest of a twelve-year-old girl, he suddenly felt that he was so guilty, if it wasn't for the fear of pain, it was estimated that he would have chopped his hands to apologize.
After more than a month, when the army was only 20 miles away from Kushan, Li Jing suddenly ordered the whole army to stop and settle in place to recuperate.
Although it was an order for Anza to recuperate, he led the army from all walks of life to get nervous, because everyone knew that this was a sign that a big war was coming, although Li Daozong was a fierce general on the battlefield, but at this moment he couldn't help but be nervous, he couldn't be nervous, he didn't have to worry about fighting before, and now his daughter came to pull him back.
For more than a month, he was worried every day, for fear that Li Ping's identity would be revealed, but he didn't dare to see her, all kinds of emergencies and uncomfortable, the big war was coming, he finally couldn't help but call Li Hao to the tooth tent, and gave him a death order, Li Ping must be protected, and at the same time ensure that her identity is not revealed, otherwise he will directly ask for his head.
Li Hao was depressed, so he could only agree with a bitter face, who let the family be the head of the march, and he was just a small soldier, no, he was not even a small soldier, just a firehead army, although he had not cooked a meal in the barracks so far, why didn't he cook, because the people in the firehead camp did not dare to ask him to cook, they all knew that these two guys who were airborne were related households, and the relationship of the chief manager was not simple, and who dared to find it was not happy, so Li Hao and Li Ping lived a leisurely life in the Huotou camp.
The big war was coming, and the barracks were filled with nervous anger, and everywhere you could see soldiers preparing ordnance and war horses, and some recruits were so nervous that they could not unload their armor when they slept at night, for fear that they would go to battle at any time.
After two days of recuperation, on the afternoon of the third day, Li Jing suddenly ordered Li Daozong's army to attack Kushan. Li Jingshuai gave an order, and Li Daozong immediately led his army to attack Kushan.
Kushan is close to Qinghai Lake, is the most exquisite pasture in Tuyuhun, although there is no city, but Fu Yun Khan is reluctant to lose this great natural pasture, so when he heard that the Tang army is coming to attack him, he has already taken Tuyuhun's 80,000 elite soldiers to build a village here to defend it, intending to defeat the Tang army in person.
Li Daozong's 10,000 army swept across the grassland like a swift wind, and the Tuyuhun army confronted head-on, I don't know whether Tuyuhun was too weak or the Tang army was too strong, Tuyuhun tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were defeated by Li Daozong's 10,000 army, only three days, the Tang army had attacked the front of the Tuyuhun camp, and Tuyuhun could only occupy the geographical advantage to defend the village.
The moon slowly rose from the grassland, the night was low, although the Tang army was strong, they were tired after three days of continuous fighting, Li Daozong asked Li Jing for an order to suspend the attack, Li Jing allowed, and gathered all the marching commanders together to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy.
Hou Junji proposed that they attack in turn with several large armies to exhaust the enemy to death, while Li Daliang thought that the combined army would join forces and take the camp directly.
Li Jing didn't say much, in his opinion, it is not difficult to take this camp, the difficult thing is how to capture Fu Yun Khan alive, Li Shimin moved the real fire this time, and talked to Li Jing alone before leaving, it is best to capture Fu Yun alive, if he can't be captured alive, then bring Fu Yun's head back.
Although Tuyuhun is weak, their horses are very good, if they escape, it is difficult to catch up, if they want to besiege the fortress, the army is not enough, that will be self-defeating.
After discussing for a long time and not discussing any good strategies, Li Jing decided to adopt Hou Junji's strategy of exhausting the army to carry out wheel warfare, the first round was still attacked by Li Daozong's Shanshan army, and the second day was attacked by Li Daliang and Li Daoyan's combined army, while Li Jing, Gao Yongsheng and the Eastern Turks and Qibi He Li of the Tang Dynasty led troops to surround the west, northwest, and north directions respectively to prevent Fu Yun from escaping.
After a day of fighting, the Tuyuhun army was already exhausted, but the spies came to report, the Tang army came again, and it was more and more ferocious than during the day, and then there were spies to report, there were traces of the Tang army in the north and northwest of the west, it seems that the Tang army wanted to catch the turtle in the urn, Fu Yun was completely panicked now, so regretful, regretted that he should not be arrogant, to touch the tiger's buttocks, but now it is too late.
The battle ahead was in full swing, but Li Hao was lying leisurely on the grass in the rear barracks looking at the moon, and he was still holding a telescope to watch.
"Wow, it turns out that the surface of the moon is really a hemp." Li Hao kept muttering as he watched.
"It's the moon, not the moon!" Li Ping on the side corrected it very seriously.
Li Hao said disdainfully: "What do you know, the moon is originally the moon." ”
"It's the moon, what kind of ball!" Li Ping said seriously, "Don't you see the moon bending, where is it like a ball!" ”
Today is the fifth day of the new year, and the crescent moon is crooked, which is very beautiful.
Li Hao turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Do you still want to say that there are Chang'e jade rabbits and laurel trees on the moon?" ”
Li Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, Chang'e is on the moon!" My mother told me that Fairy Chang'e is beautiful. ”
"Beautiful fart." Li Hao rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "There are only large and small craters on the moon, except for the craters and craters. ”
"You ......" Li turned his head in a sullen breath and pouted, "If I don't tell you, you will talk nonsense." ”
"Am I talking nonsense? Hehe......" Li Hao smiled helplessly, picked up the telescope and continued to look around.
"Huh? What is that? A squad of cavalry? Li Hao suddenly found that a large group of cavalry appeared in the northeast, and they were rapidly moving towards the south, quite far away from them, in this vast dark night, if he didn't have this military night vision binoculars, it would be impossible to find them.
"A squad of cavalry? To the south? Li Hao turned his body while muttering to himself, holding a telescope and looking to the south, this was unbelievable, he found a very serious problem, the south was actually their grain and grass baggage troops, and the grain and grass of all the armies were all there.
"Oops!" As soon as Li Hao thought of this, he immediately bounced up from the ground and shouted at Li Ping, "Quick! Fast! Tell your dad that the enemy is going to attack our grain and grass army! ”
"Ahh Li Ping's face turned pale with fright when he heard this, and he just wanted to turn around, but he suddenly froze and said, "Daddy is fighting with the Tuyuhun army in front." ”
Li Hao suddenly changed color when he heard this, yes, he forgot when he was in a hurry, Li Daozong was fighting with people in front, not only that, but the other marching directors were not there, now the matter is big, look at the number of cavalry, there should be three hundred, although there are more than five hundred people on the side of the grain and grass baggage army, but it is attacked by someone in the dark night, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist.
Besides, the cavalry performing this kind of task should belong to the rank of dead soldiers, their purpose is not to kill people, but to set fires, rush over and set fire everywhere, as long as the grain and grass are burned, even if they all die there, it doesn't matter, it is easy to set fire and difficult to put out fires.
"What to do, what to do......" Li Hao kept pacing back and forth in place, so anxious that he didn't want to.
At this time, Li Ping reminded: "Is it too late for us to ride over to remind us now?" Why don't we call the firehead army to the rescue! ”
"That's all there is to it!" As soon as Li Hao gritted his teeth when he heard this, he was about to go to the captain of the Huotou Battalion, and Li Ping also followed closely.
Li Hao thought that Li Daozong had confessed that he had to protect his daughter, otherwise he would have his head, how could he let Li Ping take risks with him, so he hurriedly turned around and said, "You stay in the camp well, don't run around!" ”
"No! I'm going with you! Li Ping said loudly, "Grain and grass are related to the victory or defeat of my Tang army, and I must not sit idly by." ”
"You go up for a fart!" Li Hao reprimanded mercilessly, "With your little arms and thin legs, you can't help but be beaten by others when you go, stay at home well!" ”
"Nope! I'm going! "Li Ping is very stubborn this time.
Li Hao was angry, now that time was pressing, he didn't have time to entangle with her, so he decisively went back to the camp and took out a rope, pressed Li Ping to the ground, and tied it up after dividing it by two.
Li Ping's shout still attracted a person after all, this person is Chen Laosan, Chen Laosan, as Li Daozong's personal guard, was supposed to go to the front line with Li Daozong, but Li Daozong was worried that Li Hao would not be able to protect Li Ping, so he let Chen Laosan stay to make sure that everything was perfect.
When Chen Laosan saw Li Hao tying up Li Ping, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Li Hao, why did you tie up this little brother again?" ”
Li Hao said: "I don't have time to explain to you more, you give me a good look at him, I have something urgent!" After saying that, he ran away.
