Another battle of Li Mu on this battlefield of the Western Han Dynasty passed like this, and today Li Mu knew who the troops he was fighting were. They were the men of the Xiongnu Chanyu. Ten thousand Xiongnu cavalry fought with the Han army. About eight
Thousands of people were killed by the Han cavalry, and the rest fled towards the desert to the north.
That night, the troops finally repaired after marching three or four miles. Although the troops were tired, they won the battle and got news from Shan Yu for the first time in the desert. So overall, they were very happy, at least Li Mu.
I saw many soldiers singing and dancing around the campfire after the fierce battle. Everyone seemed very excited.
Li Mu's performance today is obvious to all. Although his identity was embarrassing before, he is now recognized by everyone and invited to join them. However, Li Mu really doesn't know these things, so he just sat next to Wu San and listened to him.
Talking to Chen Junhou about today's war.
However, what they were talking about was not profound. It probably meant that the troops were too fast when they charged, but the troops behind them could not keep up, so they were surrounded. Or maybe those Huns' arrows were precise, and they would have known if they had
Don't abandon the infantry and advance quickly. With those crossbows and bed crossbows, those Huns would have been shot to death on the ground long ago.
Li Mu was eating and listening to the two people chatting, but he realized that Chen Junhou seemed to be very familiar with the art of war. He often refuted some of Wu San's superficial remarks and gave examples of previous wars. Especially when he was listening to
When Chen Junhou talked about Sun Bin's Art of War, Li Mu's expression suddenly changed. Chen Junhou had actually seen this famous art of war and talked about it eloquently. It seemed that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
So Li Mu took advantage of the gap between the two people to chat and asked quickly: "Master, where is Chen Junhou from?"
Wu San threw a piece of meat into his mouth, then turned to look at Li Mu, then glanced at Chen Junhou, and sneered: "Chen Junhou is from Chang'an, and he often brags that he is a descendant of a high family."
When Li Mu heard this, his expression became clear. Sure enough, this Chen Junhou was not a simple man. He was very capable in everything he said and did. He quickly looked over and looked at Chen Junhou with a smile.
Chen Junhou and Li Mu looked at each other and raised the corners of their mouths, but they seemed to be a little disgusted by this question. They shook their heads and looked at Li Mu, chewing meat and saying.
"Li He, don't be envious. I wish I could be an honest commoner like your grandfather and live a more stable life."
"Then which wealthy family is the descendant of Chen Junhou?" Li Mu asked, but Chen Junhou seemed to have not heard. He looked straight ahead, looking at the grass in the distance, chewing something, and smiled.
After calling twice, he just didn’t reply to Li Mu’s words.
Li Mu pursed his lips. Although he was still a little curious, Chen Junhou didn't want to say anything, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
On the other hand, Wu San, who was standing next to him, looked unconcerned and immediately said with a smile: "There is nothing to say. If you are willing, Chen Junhou, just follow us after the war is over. You can also buy a few acres of land in our village and plant it in our house."
Next to me, you are not very old yet, so you can still find a wife."
"I think you, Lao Wu, are in a hurry to find a wife."
Chen Junhou looked at Wu San who was making peace with him and retorted angrily. The two looked at each other and laughed again. Wu San even touched the other person with a water bag.
In the end, Li Mu didn't know about Chen Junhou's past, and he didn't know what happened to the Han court family at this time. He just felt that Chen Junhou must have had an experience that he didn't want to look back on.
The night on the grassland was very long, and people were tired and horses were exhausted. After eating, Li Mu did not talk to those people, but went back to the camp to rest alone.
In the dream, he was riding a horse and rushing forward with the cavalry. Suddenly he found that he was holding a large flag that shot straight into the sky. Suddenly, there was a shout from behind. Li Mu turned around and saw Wu.
Sanzheng was riding a horse with his hands empty. He told himself that he would hold the flag well, and then he rode away in the distance behind Li Mu.
When he turned around, several demon-like Huns in front of him jumped up from their horses, pushed him to the ground, and raised the scimitars in their hands.
Li Mu suddenly woke up, but Wu San's voice came from beside him. Li Mu quickly looked over, but saw that Wu San was fully dressed and urging him at the moment.
"Silly boy, don't get up quickly, the troops are about to leave!"
Li Mu responded repeatedly, still a little sleepy. He put on his armor and packed the rest of his things. He opened the tent and found that the sky outside the tent was still full of stars. He immediately looked at the others who had also packed up in surprise.
Wu San said.
"Grandpa, it's not even bright yet outside."
Wu San nodded, knowingly pulling Li Mu out.
"Don't worry, it will be dawn soon. It doesn't matter if there are birds blindfolded. Just follow the white flag and it will be dawn after a while."
Li Mu listened to Wu San's words without saying anything. He followed him out and found that the whole camp was noisy, with the sound of armors clashing continuously.
"The scouts have found traces of Shan Yu's large army. General Huo asked us to follow him as soon as possible. The road ahead is very long. Don't lose the water bag." Wu San helped Li Mu lead the horse over and brought the horse over.
After putting the saddle and other things in place, he handed Li Mu over to Sun Gouzi after a few words, and hurriedly walked towards the Chinese army.
"Grandpa..." Li Mu looked at the other person's somewhat stooped back and shouted as he was about to leave. Wu San turned around and asked Li Mu what was wrong.
Li Mu opened his mouth, always thinking about the scene in his dream, but he scratched his head and said nothing.
"You idiot, remember, catch up later. If you get separated from grandpa again this time, I will send you back, you hear me!" Wu San didn't say anything when he saw Li Mu, but he immediately glared.
As Li Mu said, Li Mu nodded, and Wu San turned around and left quickly.
The troops set off soon after. Although it was still dark around them, there was even a chill. Li Mu guessed that it was around early morning and it was so dark that it would be dawn soon.
The huge cavalry team was organized in the dark night. As the drums beat, Li Mu looked ahead and saw a few white flags among some scattered torches, and quickly urged the horses to follow.
Li Mu followed the black cavalry team in the dark night. He didn't know how far he had gone. When it gradually lightened up, the cavalry team stopped by a small river and gave the horses some refined food. The soldiers also ate.
After a morning meal, the troops set off again.
It was full day after walking, and the surrounding scenery began to change. From the previous grassland, it gradually turned into a barren grassland. At this time, they also encountered a very wide river on the road. The troops came down to drink their horses. Li Mu also knew about this
The name of the river is Gonglu River.
Li Mu didn't know exactly where he was going now, but the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly. The barren grassland gradually changed to the Gobi. He also passed a section of desert on the way, and the endless grassland began to overlap in layers, and the terrain began to undulate. Some
Peaks over a hundred meters tall gradually appeared, and the surrounding area was already a desert scene.
The journey was arduous and long. The bumps during the day made the horses and soldiers very tired. At night, the troops repaired a little and continued to move forward before dawn. The long yellow sand blocked the sky and the sun. All the cavalry moved forward closely, until
Finally, they saw a stretch of rolling hills, and the whole team camped there.
Li Mu didn't know where this place was, and wanted to ask Grandpa, but in the past two days, except for a few words at night, he could hardly talk to him the rest of the time. Not only that, the troops became increasingly
As they advanced, the quiet atmosphere became more intense. The people around him looked nervous even when they were marching. Li Mu, like them, did not take off his armor and rest, and would wake up at the slightest sign of trouble.
The surrounding environment and people's atmosphere changed, and Li Mu also understood that he was moving forward more and more, and might be about to engage in battle with the enemy, which was why it was so dull at the moment.
Half of his system task bar has been cleared, and there are still more than 10,000 people. Li Mu estimates that it will be enough to defeat just one more tribe like last time, but he doesn't know what kind of battle the Han army will have again.
How many people died.
Li Mu looked around and suddenly felt a little hungry. However, it was only noon and the next meal would be at dusk. Li Mu thought that he still had half a piece of wheat cake on him, so he took out a few bites.
He went to touch the water bag again, but found that there was not much water left. He sighed and decided to continue eating the wheat cake. At this time, a big horse head came sideways and ate half of the wheat cake in one bite.
Touching the crumbs in his mouth, Li Mu looked at his horse in astonishment, then looked at the crumbs in his hand, threw it on the ground, took a few sips of the water bag, and the big cheeks were still there.
The chewing horse also pushed forward, stretching its mouth to reach the water bladder.
Li Mu pushed the other person away and then stretched it out. Li Mu pulled out the cork and took a sip, giving the rest to Ma.
In this place, horses are more important than soldiers.
After giving the horse a few sips, Li Mu quickly put away the almost empty water bag and muttered to loosen the bridle of the horse, but the horn suddenly sounded.
The beating of drums also sounded rapidly the next moment. Li Mu, who had been in the army for a few days, knew that this was an emergency assembly order, so he immediately stood up, packed his things and mounted his horse.
People around him also mounted their horses and gathered, and after a while, Li Mu learned what was going on through the orders passed down by the surrounding soldiers.
The Huns' large army is in front, and the whole army is ready to attack.
