Chapter 163: Hanging a horse and beating a drum

It's dawn...

The gate of the front camp of the Huns was burnt to black. Although the fire was extinguished, it was still emitting green smoke. To be honest, the Qin army's surprise attack in the early morning did not achieve much effect. This surprise attack was entirely attacked by cavalry, but except for Liu Kan who rushed into the front camp and stormed and put two fires casually, the rest basically left and did not get close at all.

Two tents were burned!

The deer antlers and horses in front of the camp gate were cleared... Oh, I have to change another camp gate.

More than 30 Huns died and more than 20 war horses were stolen. Apart from this, the Huns seemed to have no other losses.

But Tu Qi knew very well how huge the impact this night had on the Huns...

The Qin Barbarians simply regarded tens of thousands of Huns as nothing. They dared to rush in alone, killed more than a dozen Hun soldiers, and left.

Among them, there was another leader who was killed instantly by the other party.

"Master, what should I do?"

A thousand-man asked with a pale face and a bitter look on his face.

"What should I do?"

"Fight...or not?"

Tu Qi gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Fight, of course you have to fight! I will send the order to make rice at Chen time and attack Baitugang at noon."

But, based on the current situation of the Huns, what can they be like?

Tu Qi was really not sure. He knew his own troops. Compared with the strict military disciplines cultivated by the old Qin people over the past two hundred years, the Xiongnu people's combat effectiveness was very strong. When they fought smoothly, they could be destroyed; but when they encountered setbacks, they would be defeated like a mountain.

Now I want to attack Baitugang, but the result is...

Tu Qi sighed.

Even if Baitugang is defeated, I am afraid that the casualties will be very shocking. This battle has changed from a sure victory to a tragic victory. If I had known that the night I arrived in Baitugang would have attacked in one go. In that case, it would not be the current situation.

Tu Qi sat in the military tent, patting his forehead gently, and smiling bitterly.

"Master, have something to eat."

A personal soldier brought the meal and placed it in front of Tu Qi. Tu Qi picked up the bowl, and it was a little savory... He put a mouthful of noodle soup in his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he heard the rumbling outside, and the sound of golden drums was made. The noodle soup was sprayed out by Tu Qi.

Come again?

Tu Qi picked up his long sword and rushed out of the military tent.

The Huns camp was already in chaos.

The freshly prepared food was sprinkled all over the floor, and the Hun soldiers were holding weapons one by one, looking around like frightened birds.

"King, this battle cannot be fought again!"

A close confidant smiled bitterly and said, "The warriors have no intention of fighting... They didn't sleep all night, and if they were tossed like this, they would have to go crazy. Why don't we rest for another day? It would be easier for us to attack when the baggage arrives here. Otherwise, if we attack Baitugang in this situation, even if there are not many Qintugang on Baitugang, our losses will be very heavy."

Tu Qi also knew that this battle could not be fought.

It's just that there is no step...

Now that there are steps, he will of course nod and agree. He just said with lingering fear: "But we can't rest when these Qin Manzis are doing nothing."

The confidant thought about it and immediately came up with an idea.

"This morning, the Qin Barbarians successfully attacked us because we were too close to them. It was less than ten miles away. When they rushed over, we would not have time to prevent us. It would be better to retreat thirty miles away and station the outposts ten miles away from the Central Army. In this way, even if the Qin Barbarians wanted to attack us again, we would have enough time to prepare... It would be better than being tossed and played with by Qin Barbarians like this."

"Yeah, this plan is great!"

Tu Qi immediately agreed and ordered the army to retreat thirty miles to set up camp.

Liu Kan stood on the city gate tower, looking at the slowly retreating Huns' battle flag, and couldn't help but laugh.

"This Zuo Xian King is really the best."

Lu Shizhi asked strangely: "What do you mean by Junhou? The Huns retreated thirty miles, and if we want to attack again, it will be troublesome."

"Who said I'm going to attack?"

Liu Kan sneered, "Take two hundred people to replace Guan Ying and the others... There is no need to beat drums and shaking flags during the day. After dark, two hundred gongs and drums sounded for me. Remember, I can't help but have to make gongs and drums loudly, and war horses neigh. In short, I just want them to be in peace."

Lu Shizhi took the order excitedly and left.

Fan Kuai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Jun., your move is a bit too bad."

But Liu Kan's eyes flipped, "Isn't this the case when fighting? It depends on who is skillful in his methods."

"But this is the first time I have seen such a war, and it is also the first time I have heard of it... This, this, this is a bit too much."

Liu Kan sneered constantly but did not answer.

After a while, he whispered softly: "Tu Qi wanted to sleep peacefully, but he didn't know that he would retreat, so he would probably keep the morale down."

"Then you mean..."

"Tomorrow, Tu Qi will definitely have no intention of attacking."

After saying that, Liu Kan showed a bright smile, "Bullshit, why don't we make a bet?"

When Fan Kuai heard this, his head was shaking like a rattle, "Betting? I'm not interested... Anyway, your tricks are too damaged."

This night was undoubtedly an unbearable night for the Huns.

The sound of golden drums all night was even more crazy than yesterday. The neighing of the horse accompanied by the sound of golden drums made it difficult for the people in the Huns camp to fall asleep. They were really scared of being attacked... For the whole night, everyone was worried about guarding the tent. People did not remove their armor, but held swords and guns in their hands.

Tu Qi couldn't fall asleep even more, and his little voice would make him run out of the military tent and watch the situation.

However, for the Qin army on Baitugang, this night was undoubtedly particularly wonderful...

After dawn, the Huns crawled out with dark circles, and they were all depressed, which forced Tuqi to order a rest.

Fortunately, in the afternoon, the subsequent supplies and food arrived at the camp.

This made the morale of the Huns more or less boosted. But the morale was boosted, and it was unlikely to launch an attack immediately.

So Tuqi ordered that after a full meal, they would go back to the army tent to rest.

Tomorrow, I will eat rice at the Yin hour, and the Mao hour will be about to start an attack on Baitugang. This time, Tuqi is determined to take down Baitugang in one go.

The Hun soldiers naturally had no comment on such an order.

All exhausted!

After being tossed for three days, if you don’t attack, then don’t hit you…

So, as soon as it was dark, the Huns hid in the tent one by one, their ears were blocked, their heads were confused, and they made up their minds: Love whoever you want, even if you knocked the drums tonight, I won’t play with you anymore, I’m going to sleep.

Sure enough, at midnight, the sound of golden drums sounded again.

Even Tuqi was numb. Hearing the drums and the neighing of the horse, he simply covered his bedding on his head.

I just want to let you do it, I just ignore it!

But I was also wondering that the sound of gongs and drums tonight seemed not as regular as the previous two days. As a result, after two nights of struggle, Qin Manzi was probably tired. Hehe, let's do it, I want to see how you can do it when dawn is dawn.

This sleep was so sweet.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the Huns who had been full of food set up formations outside the valley.

However, the neighing sound of the golden drums and horses on Baitugang did not stop. The Huns all looked ferocious and gritted their teeth and held their swords and guns tightly.

Qin Manzi, you can just make trouble. When I capture Baitugang, I will see how I deal with you.

Tu Qi waved the flag proudly and shouted loudly: "Warriors, attack me, attack me, you must take down Baitugang today!"

The Hun soldiers shouted in unison.

The shouts of tens of thousands of people drowned out the sound of golden drums and horse neighing.

Teams, rows of Xiongnu soldiers carried the cloud ladder and rushed towards Baitugang. At the same time, arrows were like rain, covering the Huns and falling to Baitugang.

"Kill, kill..."

The Hun soldiers ran and wondered: What's going on? Why didn't the Qin barbarians move?

Tu Qi laughed: "No matter how traitorous the Qin barbarians are, they can only wait for death under the fierce attack of our army, hahaha!"

However, the shouts of killing became smaller and smaller.

There was no sound of war. The Baitugang was silent. Tu Qi climbed up high and looked up in surprise. Seeing the Huns soldiers stormed the city walls of Baitugang, he still did not see the Qin army's counterattack.

"What's going on?"

Tu Qi looked at both sides in confusion.

The generals looked at each other and couldn't figure out what was going on.

At this time, the attack automatically stopped. On the Baitugang, a leader of a thousand men galloped over and jumped off his horse in front of Tu Qi, and turned over and knelt on the ground: "Master, it's not good, it's not good..."

"What a bad thing?"

The thousand-man leader shouted: "There is not even a single Qin barbarian on Baitugang!"

"What?"

Tu Qi's eyes were rounder than bells. He swallowed, "How is this possible? Are you still ringing with the sound of the golden drum?"

"Master, it's a horse!"

"ah?"

"Those Qin barbarians hung up the injured horse and beat the drum. When we found them, the war horses were exhausted. It seemed that they had been beaten from last night to now...The Qin barbarians had all withdrawn last night!"

Tu Qi opened his mouth, and felt a breath in his chest and rushing straight to his head.

His throat was a little sweet, and he pointed at the commander and screamed for a long time: "I'm so angry..."
