Chapter 45: Hit more with less

Li Hao went to Han Zheng, the captain of the Huotou Battalion, and told him about the enemy's sneak attack on grain and grass, Han Zheng was also taken aback, and his first reaction was to ask Li Hao: "What should I do?" The governor and the army are not in the camp! ”

Li Hao said with a solemn expression: "Listen, the opportunity for your Huotou Battalion to make meritorious service has come, now you take more than 80 brothers from the Huotou Battalion to ride fast horses and me to support the grain and grass team, it is best to intercept the enemy before he reaches the grain and grass team, as long as you can delay them for a while, the people of the grain and grass team will react, and the enemy's strategy will fail." ”

"This ...... Will this work? Han Zheng beat a drum in his heart, "We are just the fire head army, and we don't have a military order from the commander, how can we act casually." ”

"If something happens, I'll take responsibility!" Li Hao said loudly, "You Huotou Camp usually don't have any opportunities for meritorious service, but now that the great opportunity is in front of you, don't you miss it, do you really want to stay here and cook for the rest of your life?" ”

"I don't want to." Han Zheng shook his head into a rattle.

"Then why don't you hurry up and tell the brothers to get ready and go!" Li Hao stared and shouted, now that time was pressing, he really didn't want to waste time.

Han Zheng hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth: "That's it, I'll fight with you, brothers, get up!" ”

As soon as he shouted, all the people in the ten tents of the Huotou camp ran out one after another, some were sleepy-eyed, and some were still dressing.

Han Zheng told them briefly about the matter, and then asked loudly: "Now, I want to take everyone to the aid of the grain and grass team, if anyone doesn't want to go, they can quit now!" ”

When everyone heard that they could make meritorious contributions, they were immediately very happy, and the grain and grass were related to the victory or defeat of the army, how could they dare to sit idly by, and they clamored to go with him.

Li Hao immediately asked them to go to the stable to get the horses, and the horseman in the stables saw that they did not have a warrant from the general manager and refused to give the horses, Li Hao directly knocked him unconscious with a stick, one person and one horse, with weapons, and rushed out of the barracks with shouts.

Li Hao took the lead, galloping quickly, to be honest, he was very scared at the moment, he was going to charge into battle, could he not be afraid, he was a novice rookie, but he had to go, if the grain and grass were burned, the army would definitely be in trouble, and the conquest of Tuyuhun was likely to fail, what would happen if it failed, Li Shimin was angry? Li Jing was punished? These are all trivial things, what Li Hao cares about is history, yes, history.

In history, the Tang Dynasty defeated Tuyuhun and ended in a complete victory for the Tang Dynasty, if this battle is lost, then history will change, what will happen next, Li Hao does not know, maybe nothing will happen, maybe, everything will change, including Li Hao from the future will disappear, he no longer dares to imagine.

The grain and grass team was ten miles to the south of them, not far away, and their group rode their horses for a long time, and finally reached the grain and grass team before the enemy.

The camp guards of the grain and grass team suddenly saw Li Hao and his group riding horses, and they all raised their guns to resist, and shouted coldly: "What people! ”

Li Hao took out the holy decree and said in a loud voice: "I am Li Hao, the captain of the army who is ordered to join the army, and Li Daozong, the active commander of the Shanshan Dao marching army, has an urgent military situation to report, who of you is in charge here?" ”

The guard said coldly: "Since there is an urgent military situation, first show the military order of the marching commander and the military order of the chief manager!" ”

Li Hao said: "The matter is urgent, and I have time to ask for a military order in the future, Tuyuhun dispatched hundreds of cavalry teams to attack your grain and grass team, and it is not far from here now, you quickly go and report to your manager!" ”

The guard was shocked, and though he was skeptical, he decided to be cautious and let one of the soldiers behind him pass the order to their captain.

Li Hao took advantage of his free time, took out his binoculars and looked back, and found that the enemy cavalry was only four or five miles away from here, so he hurriedly shouted: "It's too late, brothers, follow me to meet the enemy, drag them, and don't let them approach the grain and grass camp." ”

"Yes!" The brothers of the Huotou camp shouted in unison, and with Li Hao, they turned their horses' heads and ran into the darkness.

Li Hao and they rushed three miles away, and encountered the enemy cavalry, both sides did not light torches, under the faint moonlight, the two teams of cavalry looked at each other silently, no more than 100 meters apart.

Tuyuhun's cavalry team was a little confused, they came all the way in the dark, silently, thinking that they would be able to catch off guard and burn the Tang army's grain and grass, but they didn't expect that before they arrived at the Tang army's grain and grass camp, suddenly a team of cavalry appeared waiting here, although there were less than 100 people, but what does this mean, it means that the Tang army has already discovered them and is prepared.

Now Tuyuhun's cavalry captain is in a dilemma, this sneak attack on grain and grass is to attack it unprepared, but now that the other party is prepared, should he continue to carry out the task or retreat?

Li Hao sat on horseback, his forehead was full of cold sweat, he was afraid, the other party was a cavalry team of more than 300 people, and there were only 80 Huotou troops on his side, and the disparity in combat power was a bit big.

Although he was afraid, he also knew that he had to suppress all negative emotions at this time, so he had the courage to shout at the opposite side: "Listen to the people on the other side, your plan has already been understood by our chief manager, don't do useless struggles, go back and let your Fuyun Khan bow down, otherwise our Datang Iron Cavalry will trample your body into mud along with your will!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the Tuyuhun cavalry were shocked, and they could finally confirm that the other party had indeed known their plan in advance, and their captain hesitated for a moment, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he gritted his teeth and said slowly in Tuyuhun language: "Brothers, before leaving, the Khan said that if we can't complete the task, we don't need to go back. ”

Although he said it very gently, in the silent night, everyone could hear it clearly, yes, retreat is certain death, there is still a glimmer of life in advance, even if there is no life in advance, then what, at least they think that death is deserved, death is glorious.

Tuyuhun's cavalry team suddenly erupted in anger, and then rushed towards Li Hao and them.

Li Hao's pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted: "Bow and arrow ready!" ”

All the people of the firehead army took off their bows and arrows, and fired a volley, and immediately many Tuyuhun cavalry turned to the ground, but this was nothing to the cavalry of three hundred people.

The firehead soldiers were still preparing to shoot again, Li Hao knew that there was no chance, and there were only fifty meters left between the two sides, so he immediately ordered: "Take the weapon and kill!" ”

"Kill!" The firehead army erupted into angry shouts, and everyone rode out on horseback, only Li Hao remained behind.

Why didn't Li Hao rush, because he assigned himself an important task - a decapitation operation.

The so-called shooting people first shoot horses, capture thieves first capture kings, they shoot more with less, the odds of winning are too small, only by killing the leader of the other party first, can there be a glimmer of life.

He used his binoculars to quickly search among the chaotic army, and soon found a general in red armor, who should be their leader, he stepped forward, took out a fish dart slingshot, and quickly approached the general.

The distance between the two sides was not far away, and soon, the general entered Li Hao's range, Li Hao pulled the slingshot suddenly, and threw his left hand, without any sound of breaking the sky, only to see a silver light flash, and the head of the red armor general was suddenly nailed into an arrow long with chopsticks, which was Li Hao's fish dart.

The red-armored general's eyes were scattered, and after shaking it, he fell off his horse, and someone in the Tuyuhun cavalry exclaimed: "General Mu Jishan is dead!" ”

This sound was no less than a bombshell, all the Tuyuhun cavalry were stunned, the battle had just begun, and their general was dead, how could this be fought!

Sure enough, the snake has no head, without the leader's command, the Tuyuhun cavalry is in a mess, the firehead army learned that the enemy leader is ambushed, and the momentum is suddenly boosted, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become, so a strange scene happened, eighty people chased more than two hundred people, all the way to five or six miles, Tuyuhun's three hundred cavalry were killed to only more than 20 people, the more than 20 people fled quickly, Li Hao knew that he couldn't catch up, so he ordered to collect the troops and go back to clean up the battlefield, anyway, their goal has been achieved, and they fought a beautiful battle.

When cleaning the battlefield, the brothers of the Huotou Battalion were very excited, they thought that they could only cook in the Huotou Camp in this life, but they never expected that they would make such a great achievement, and win a great victory with 80 to 300, this victory will definitely become their lifelong boasting.

Li Hao did not participate in cleaning the battlefield, just stood quietly on the side, looking at the corpses all over the ground, silently, this was the first time he personally participated in the war, that feeling...... It's really bad, it turns out ...... The war was so bloody and cruel that, to be honest, he didn't like it.

Li Hao was stunned, Han Zheng ran over, and said with a smile on his face: "Li Hao, it's really thanks to you, your arrow is really accurate, by the way, what did you shoot that arrow with?" ”

"Slingshot." Li Hao showed his slingshot as he spoke, and added confidently, "My nickname is Slingshot Xiao Li Guang, and there is no false hair." ”

"Awesome! Terrible! Han Zheng kept giving him a thumbs up when he heard this.

Li Hao was indeed a slingshot master in his previous life, he once represented the slingshot association of their city to participate in the provincial slingshot design competition, won the first place, and later the slingshot association gave him a title "slingshot little Li Guang".

The movement on their side was too big, and the grain and grass team finally knew that there was indeed an enemy attack, so they sent more than 200 people to support them, but they had already finished fighting, and even the battlefield was cleaned.

The team of the grain and grass team is a rough man in his early thirties, called Zhang Meng, who was born really vigorously, with a beard all over his face, he was very surprised when he saw Li Hao, because Li Hao looked like a minor at all, but it was such a minor, leading eighty fireheads to defeat Tuyuhun's three hundred cavalry team, and it was a complete victory, which was simply amazing.

Passing by other people's territory, at least you have to say hello, Li Hao politely greeted Zhang Meng, and then went back with the Huotou Army, after all, more than a dozen brothers were injured, and two of them were not lightly injured, and they must be treated as soon as possible.

Li Hao returned to the barracks with the brothers of the Huotou Army, returned the war horses, and prepared to go back to the camp tent to get some anti-inflammatory drugs for the brothers of the Huotou Army to treat their injuries, but when he arrived in the camp, he found that Chen Laosan had fainted to the ground, and next to him was a pile of scattered ropes, and Li Ping was missing.

Li Hao suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave, cold from head to foot, he hurriedly stepped forward to wake up Chen Laosan, Chen Laosan touched the back of his head with his hand, screamed in pain, and before he could speak, Li Hao asked urgently: "What about people?" What about Li Pingren? ”

He ...... He ran away! Chen Laosan knew that he had done something wrong, so he lowered his head shyly, feeling that he had no face to see people.
