Chapter 43: Decoy
"Sun Boyue, you are here, so don't leave." Liu Yuan was not surprised when he saw Sun Xiong personally leading the rescue force. Instead, he snorted and shouted coldly.
Liu Yuan could guess that there would be a night attack tonight, and naturally he could also guess that the status of the generals in this night attack would not be low.
Sure enough, Guan Sheng's arrival and the effect of the charged sword just now proved Liu Yuan's suspicion.
"How many troops and horses did Sun Xiong bring?" Liu Yuan asked.
"About ten thousand, and they are all riding war horses."
The soldiers immediately reported the situation to Liu Yuan, who then nodded and ordered: "In this case, let the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses immediately surround and kill the reinforcements brought by Sun Xiong."
Outside the camp, a veteran general was fighting hard to kill the enemy in front. He was extremely skilled in using a spear, which showed that his martial arts skills were not low.
After the veteran general beheaded the leader of the Xiongnu tribe in front of him, the leader's tribe suddenly began to panic.
Seeing the effect of beheading a general, the veteran grinned and said: "It seems that the leader of a large tribe is less likely to be gradually besieged."
The veteran general placed the leader's head in front of the horse's head, and then led thousands of soldiers dragging hay to charge to the right of the Huns camp.
The veteran went to the right, causing the ambush Liu Yuan ordered Liu Cong to set up ten miles outside the camp to collapse instantly.
"Damn it, isn't this old guy saving people? Why did he go to the right again?"
A leader of a large tribe said angrily when he saw Sun Xiong's retreating back.
"Hey, it's a pity that the leader of the Gila clan died at the hands of Sun Xiong."
A leader who had some friendship with the leader of the Gila clan who was killed by Sun Xiong just now sighed.
Liu Cong, as the leader of the ambush against Sun Xiong, immediately turned black, and was angry that Sun Xiong didn't play his cards according to the routine.
Seeing the clan leaders complaining one by one, Liu Cong glared at everyone angrily and shouted: "What are you arguing about? Now Sun Xiong has run to the right, so we will chase after him! If Sun Xiong is caught by us, we will still have great achievements. One piece, and Yanmen Pass is easily accessible."
Liu Cong no longer hid, and without waiting to reply to his father Liu Yuan, he led 50,000 troops and pursued Sun Xiong to the location where he had fled.
Sun Xiong led thousands of soldiers and horses running in the wilderness, but his eyes looked behind him from time to time.
As he continued to fight towards the camp, Sun Xiong saw several shadows shaking not far away.
Sun Xiong changed his route to the right side of the camp. This was not a sudden move, but a strategy discussed with Jiang Wei. Now he saw that there were indeed many Xiongnu troops behind him, and the number had suddenly increased.
Without hesitation, he sighed: "Bo Yue is really good. Not only can he know that tonight's attack will definitely fail, but he also knows that Liu Yuan will definitely take advantage of the situation to besiege Guan Sheng, wait for our rescue, and then ambush us outside the camp."
Sun Xiong drove a horse with only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and some hay was tied behind the horses. He also said helplessly to himself: "The trick of suspecting soldiers that Yun'er used three years ago can still work, haha. "
Sun Xiong was also proud when he mentioned Sun Yun, and among his three sons, Sun Yun was the first to bear the brunt. Not only did he have strategies, but he also had an extremely calm personality, not to mention his talent in martial arts, and his relationship with his brothers did not involve any intrigues.
When he unfortunately passes away one day, Sun Yun may be the only one who can support the family.
I thought that except for Sun Yun, although the other two were highly skilled in martial arts,
But one character is too serious and not good at communication, while the other is too fiery and reckless. Thinking of this, Sun Xiong is extremely helpless.
"Report to the general, there are more than 10,000 troops approaching us from behind."
A young soldier shouted next to Sun Xiong.
Sun Xiong reacted, looked behind him, and saw nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses chasing me.
Then he smiled and said: "Now that there are 50,000 soldiers and horses left, I can definitely save them if I rely on you."
Speaking of this, he looked at the young soldier who was reporting for duty. He looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.
Somewhat apologetically, Sun Xiong and Jiang Wei discussed using themselves as bait to lure away the troops ambushing outside the camp, and the fifty thousand troops had exceeded Sun Xiong's prediction.
He didn't expect that his life was so important, and while he was acting as a bait, the thousands of soldiers who came with him might also die.
There were more than a dozen young soldiers among them, which made Sun Xiong feel a little helpless and moved by these soldiers who believed in him.
The soldier who reported the news was also smart. He saw Sun Xiong's expression and shouted loudly: "We are not afraid of dying for the future of Yanmen Pass!"
The soldier said loudly, and the other young soldiers following him also reacted, and they all showed a look of determination to return home and shouted loudly: "Even if it means death! We will definitely protect the general and evacuate."
Sun Xiong was shocked for a moment by the bold words at this moment, his eyes were a little moist, and he looked at the Hun cavalry pressing behind him.
He closed his eyes, waved his hands and shouted loudly: "For the glory of the big man!"
"For the big man! For Yanmen!"
The young soldier even shouted these two sentences angrily at the sky.
Naturally, some of the older soldiers were not as good as the younger soldiers, but they shed tears, not because they had to die like this at such an age.
But I saw these young soldiers with such a passionate side, and I also saw myself when I was young!
His eyes were as moist as Sun Xiong's, and when he shouted, he was more powerful and contagious than the young soldier's heroic words.
"For the big man! For Yanmen!"
Veterans are not afraid of death, they are only afraid of not protecting their homeland.
This sentence is not only for myself, but also for everything I have been protecting.
Liu Cong chased Sun Xiong for close to fifty miles, but heard a roar. Although it was strange, Liu Cong only regarded it as their last struggle before death.
"Sun Xiong! Quickly dismount and surrender, I will spare your life!"
Liu Cong no longer thought about the words about Yanmen, but shouted to Sun Xiong in front of him.
"Hahaha, although I don't know who you are, but if I just dismount and surrender, then I might as well kill myself!"
Sun Xiong suddenly reined in his horse and stood up. His eyes were red and he pointed the spear in Liu Cong's direction: "Soldiers of the Yanmen Army! Turn your horses around! Charge with me!"
"Kill! Kill all the Huns! Give us peace!" The young soldier who followed Sun Xiong's words was the young soldier who had shouted the bold words before.
The young soldier took the lead and rushed towards Liu Cong's position.
Liu Cong was surprised when Sun Xiong suddenly turned his horse's head, and then he was worried.
I thought to myself: "Is there an ambush here?"
However, after a few breaths, nothing happened, which made Liu Cong breathe a sigh of relief.
I saw the young soldier stabbing Liu Cong in the direction of Liu Cong with a spear.
However, Liu Cong dodged him and felt that this soldier was attacking him so desperately.
And Liu Cong didn't see any ambush around him or behind him. He put down his worries and said angrily: "It's just you? You still want to kill me?"
Liu Cong directly dodged the tip of the spear that was coming again, and slashed directly towards the barrel of the spear with his saber. Liu Cong, who already had some martial arts skills.
It was naturally extremely easy to deal with this young soldier, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old. The gun barrel was cut off by Liu Cong in an instant.
When the young soldier saw that the barrel of the gun was broken in half, he was not afraid. He continued to pick up the tip and tail of the gun that had been broken into two halves and continued to attack Liu Cong.
Liu Cong was annoyed by the young soldier's move and became even more furious: "Are you tired of living like this?"
Liu Cong directly slashed at the young soldier's neck, because the gun barrel had been broken in half, and the unprotected neck was cut open by Liu Cong without any defense.
The young soldier's eyes did not show any despair, but only resentment, resentment that he was not strong enough, and even tried his best not to encounter the Hun general!
hatred!
hatred!
I hate!
With a look of resentment in his eyes, he fell off his horse. He didn't understand the feelings of the Han family in the first place, not to mention that Liu Cong of the Yanmen Army naturally ignored such a small person.
He immediately reined in his horse and led the Xiongnu troops to kill more than a thousand soldiers and horses.
Sun Xiong saw the young soldier being beheaded by Liu Cong, and looked at Liu Cong who had beheaded the soldier with red eyes.
The horses under him rushed towards Liu Cong, but Sun Xiong was surrounded by many Huns.
However, the thousands of soldiers and horses he brought were surrounded and killed one by one by the Xiongnu's 50,000 soldiers and horses.
Sun Xiong beheaded the Huns in front of him one by one, but his heart was extremely sad and angry. Sun Xiong did not want to see this scene.
What's more, none of these Yanmen Army soldiers showed any regrets, just like the young soldier who was killed by Liu Cong.
Resentment! Resentment for not being able to kill one more enemy!
Liu Cong beheaded the young soldier in front of him and found to his annoyance that the number of troops chasing Sun Xiong this time was only a few thousand.
After seeing the troops with only a few thousand people, Liu Cong thought that these troops, including Sun Xiong, were all bait, and their real purpose was to lure us away!
After knowing all this, Liu Cong set his sights on Sun Xiong who was besieged by the Huns cavalry.
"Catch Sun Xiong alive! There will be huge rewards!"
Liu Cong pointed his saber at Sun Xiong's position and shouted loudly.
After hearing Liu Cong's words, the tribal leaders worked even harder and gathered around Sun Xiong.
Seeing Sun Xiong trapped in a tight siege, Liu Cong looked even more proud, but he was a little scared in his heart.
Because what he said just now about capturing Sun Xiong alive was like giving those Yanmen soldiers a stimulant, each and every one of them seemed to have been given chicken blood.
