Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Great Fire
After the generals were ordered to leave the camp, Li Li looked up at the starry sky and secretly reflected in his heart.
He did lose his temper just now, and he was moved by compassion, and he was a little kind of woman.
In fact, Li Xuan's strategy of setting fire to the enemy is indeed the best way to win at the moment, and he can win without spending a single soldier.
With such a good plan, what reason does Li Li have to refuse?
However, he did refuse just now.
This was all the work of Li Li's soul from the afterlife, which caused him to veto Li Xuan's strategy.
Because he had been to Liangzhou in his previous life, he had experienced the wind and sand of the Tengger Desert near Wuwei, and he still has a deep memory.
Time and space rotated, and when Li Li saw the Hutu Wasteland for the first time today, he felt a sense of déjà vu, and the image of the desert instantly appeared in his mind.
Although Li Li was not sure that this was the desert he would see in later generations, he trusted his instincts.
In view of this, when Li Xuan whispered his offer, Li Li denied this superior strategy without thinking.
With Li Xuan's patient explanation, as well as his strength to argue with reason, Li Li realized that he was really wrong, and he could even be said to have the kindness of a woman.
This time, the army set out for Guzang, and by chance encountered these four enemy forces, and it was because a major battle was about to inevitably occur.
If Li Li didn't use Li Xuan's strategy, then he would have to lead his troops to fight against these nearly 6,000 light horsemen.
Even if the iron cavalry of the Longxiang battalion is brave and good at fighting, with one to ten, after a big battle, at least a thousand soldiers have to be lost, and at most there are two thousand men and horses left.
With two thousand dragon battalion iron cavalry to attack Cheng Yin and Li Kan in Guzang City more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if they are lucky to win, how many people can be left in the Longxiang battalion, how can they clear the remnants of Guzang City, and take Guzang City.
can't take Guzang City, even if Li Kan and Cheng Yin are killed, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Kan, Wang Kan, Liu Yin, Huang Yin and other young people will not emerge immediately.
These vicious people, as long as they have the opportunity, please dare not do anything; As long as it is profitable, they are the kings of heaven and are not afraid of anything!
After sorting out his thoughts before and after, Li Li found that he still had so many character flaws that could not fit with this era, and what happened just now was a profound wake-up call.
Whether Li Li can prove his presence in this era on his heels in this space is the key to taking up Wuwei this time. Once he loses his foothold in Wuwei and is defeated, then there is no way for him to change the fate of the entire Li family and his two brothers. Moreover, he will become the laughing stock of the generals of the entire Dong Zhuo Legion, and even the generals who had befriended him before would probably stay away from him, and Li Dao, who had high hopes for him, would be even more disappointed.
"Will the Hugh Slaughter Wasteland become a desert, what does it have to do with me, Li Li? The kindness of a woman is ridiculous! ”
Combined with the current situation, Li Li suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and felt deeply ridiculous about his childish words that he had just vetoed Li Xuan.
Fortunately, Li Li finally made a rational choice, agreed to Li Xuan's compromise jihua, and immediately issued an order to execute.
Invisibly, a catastrophe for Li Li was eliminated invisibly under Li Xuan's insistence.
In the midst of self-reflection, Li Li knew that he was wrong and almost missed a big thing. But he would not give any explanation for the matter, nor did he need to admit his mistake to anyone; This is just a hurdle in his growth, just remember it yourself.
As the master of the people, he knows his mistakes, corrects his mistakes, and never admits his mistakes.
··················
"Whoosh!"
"Ahh
"Bold barbarians, you have broken your promise and secretly attacked us! Brothers, rush with me to the other side and kill all these treacherous barbarians! ”
"Boom!"
In the darkness, Li Li couldn't see the actual situation in the wasteland in the distance clearly, but from the various noises, he was still able to sort out the clues.
Teng Xiao and Fan Yong's 1,000 light cavalry led the way by scouts to approach more than 2,000 Han cavalry on the southern wasteland, and then rode and shot at this group of Han cavalry.
In the darkness of the night, most of the more than 2,000 Han riders lengthened their torches and tied them to one of their calves; This can not only illuminate the light, but also draw the torch and use it as a weapon at a critical moment.
However, Teng Xiao and Fan Yong's subordinates did not light torches, and relied on the horse's own night vision ability to move forward in the dark, only controlling the general direction, but not restricting the way the mount traveled.
When they are close to the enemy's Han cavalry, they can ride their horses and gallop wildly, riding and shooting at will, and shooting a large number of enemy cavalry. Because there are torches here, shuttling among the enemy horses, the light is very good, and you can gallop on horseback. The arrows shot out are extremely high, almost one shot at a time, and as long as you shoot them slightly at the place where there are torches, they will not miss.
In a matter of moments, hundreds of Han horsemen were shot off their horses and fell into the grass screaming.
Seeing that the enemy cavalry was so accurate, the leader of the enemy subconsciously regarded these people as foreign barbarian light cavalry, and only the barbarian cavalry had such superb riding and archery skills. What's more, the leader knew that the alien light horse was on the wasteland north of the river, and he had encountered this situation twice before, and said that everyone had come to catch wild horses, and everything was based on real skills to capture wild horses. However, these alien barbarians are the most untrustworthy, and every time they will pick quarrels and provoke trouble, they will shoot hundreds of their own subordinates under the pretext of killing them, which is extremely hateful!
Seeing that the barbarian iron cavalry shot his own troops so unscrupulously this time, the new hatred and old hatred in the leader's heart surged into his heart, and then he shouted loudly, and led more than 1,000 light horsemen to chase after him, and rushed straight to the wasteland north of the river.
No faith barbarian, kill me so many parts and still want to run away, Lao Tzu will not give up this time!
"Boom!"
After crossing the river valley, Fan Yong and Teng Xiao led their light horses to rush into the northern wasteland non-stop, accompanied by hundreds of torches snatched from enemy horsemen.
"Boom!"
While riding his horse, Teng Xiao found that the enemy cavalry had been thrown behind for some distance, so he casually threw the torch in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, throw away the torch in your hand, we have completed the task assigned by the lord and retreated to the camp!" ”
With Teng Xiao's order, everyone threw out torches one after another, quickly sneaked into the wasteland, and rushed to the camp of the river valley.
A quarter of an hour later, when Teng Xiao and Fan Yong's figures appeared in the river valley, three rockets suddenly shot out of the camp, straight into the air at an altitude of 100 meters.
"Boom, boom!"
The moment the rocket flew into the air, dozens of large fireballs suddenly rolled down the high slope of the northern wasteland, and the flames broke out around the wasteland at the same time, and the hundreds of torches that Teng Xiao and the others had just thrown out were already burning vigorously.
Suddenly, the northern wasteland was on fire everywhere, dozens of large fireballs rolled down, and everywhere they passed, the fire was blazing, and countless barbarian light horsemen and Han horsemen were instantly engulfed by the fire, causing thousands of light horsemen to be in a mess and rush for their lives.
The whirring south wind seems to accelerate suddenly when the fire is ignited, the wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind to burst into flames.
"Ah———!h
A terrible scream pierced the night sky and echoed across the wasteland for a long time.
"Puff puff!"
Groups of light horsemen who tried to flee to the river valley to escape the fire were mercilessly shot off their horses by the soldiers under Li Li's command, who had already drawn their bows.
In addition, Li Li personally led a thousand iron horsemen along the wide river valley to hunt for fish that had slipped through the net, and took advantage of the situation to collect the frightened scattered horses.
The fire burned the plains, and the four groups of enemy light cavalry were about 5,600 horsemen, and less than 20% of the people who were able to escape in this fire were able to escape; After Li Lijun's search and killing, less than one percent of the people really survived.
In the fire, human life is like mustard, which is devoured in an instant and turns into ashes.
As the saying goes, fire and water are merciless.
In troubled times, people are also ruthless. Only ruthless people can adapt to the rules of survival in troubled times and live longer.
