This time facing the Xianbei people, although Li Shushi didn't want to admit it, he had to change his approach.
After all, it is an honor to let the Flying Bear Army be the vanguard once, but if the Flying Bear Army is placed in the most dangerous place every time, and he is not Dong Zhuo, and he can let the Flying Bear Army die for him, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble.
What's more, the Flying Bear Army's battle losses are now close to 50%. Even if the Flying Bear Army does not rebel and rushes into the battlefield with more than 100,000 people, it will only be a drop in the ocean.
So this time he directly pushed the Wusun people to the forefront of the battle. Most of the Wusun people were simply imagining the wonderful scene of beating the Xianbei people. Some Wusun generals even planned to take this opportunity to make more contributions.
To fill the vacancies left by the previous turmoil and fighting, there was no resistance to Li Shushi's decision.
That's fine.
Moreover, the area where the battle was fought this time was more mountainous, and because it was close to the water source, there were many jungles. The Xianbei people's cavalry and archery could not perform well in such terrain. Li Shushi did not need to worry that the Wusun people would be defeated by the Xianbei people.
Fly a kite until it collapses.
Of course, the Xianbei people's choice of battlefield here also aroused Li Shushi's suspicion, because facts have proven that the Xianbei people's performance in this terrain is almost irreparable compared with the plain terrain, not to mention that the leader should still be interested in Yanmen.
The memory of that battle is still fresh in my mind. If the Xianbei people had no other preparations, even a guy like Lu Bu would not believe it.
It's just that such doubts can only be buried in the bottom of his heart. Even though Li Shushi has established a certain degree of personal prestige in Wusun, such a paranoid nation still makes him dare not interfere too much. So when he then asked the other party a few questions
But he didn't take it seriously, so he didn't say anything more. Anyway, as long as his own people were careful not to suffer losses.
As for the Kushan people's troops, even if they fought together, they still could not completely dispel the Wusun people's suspicion of them. Anyway, they themselves were willing to collect various information while fighting in a semi-floating state, and they would not betray them casually.
, Li Shushi is also happy to let them entertain themselves in the wings. If anyone wants to try their place, they are more than welcome.
Under such circumstances, the coalition forces and the Xianbei troops started another battle.
However, this time the battle started to make Li Shushi and even Lu Bu and others at the rear feel like they couldn't help but laugh.
What would it be like if two peoples who are both good at fighting on horseback fight in the mountains and jungles?
The swiftness and lightness of the wind disappeared, and the four-hooved war horse trudged through the undulating mountains. The people on the horse had to consider whether they would be scratched by the dense branches and leaves, or even be knocked off the horse.
The Xianbei people who lost the advantage of riding and shooting either became fixed-point forts, but without the speed of bows and arrows, they also lost the distance advantage. They also lost the energy bonus brought by speed, so the reduction in power is obvious.
As for the other
Some of the others turned into bloodthirsty and fierce melee warriors just like they did in the Battle of Yanmen. Some even gave up their horses and roared towards the enemy Wusun people. They looked really smart.
A palpitating feeling.
It's just that this is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone... Okay, it's a bit exaggerated, but compared to the Wusun people who are taller and better at close combat than the Wusun people who hybridized with Western races, the Xianbei people still have to suffer more in close combat.
It's a loss, so keep it fresh
When the Bei people, who could still have a slight upper hand in the battle with the Han even if they gave up their horses, suffered setbacks in close combat, even though the Xianbei people still persisted, everyone could see that in addition to their numerical advantage, the Xianbei people were simply in the rhythm of defeat.
Will the Xianbei people sacrifice their lives to win a victory?
The answer is obviously no.
Therefore, the generals of Wusun all had their eyes red as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, urging their soldiers to fight bravely. The Wusun soldiers who saw the dawn of victory were also getting stronger and stronger while fighting against the Xianbei people whose morale was getting lower and lower.
Fighting becomes more and more courageous, but it seems that the collapse of the Xianbei people will come earlier than expected.
"It's so abnormal. There is definitely something wrong with it."
In fact, if Lu Bu was allowed to lead the army alone to fight the Xianbei people and the fight ended like this, the only thing Lu Bu would probably do is pick up a pen and think about how to write a document to report the victory. It was just that he was prevented from doing so before the battle started.
Needle, looked at the ongoing battle with suspicion, and finally came to such a conclusion.
It's really difficult for this Xiaoqiang whose intellectual potential is only one-third more than ⑨.
"But this is really weird. If the Xianbei people are planning to cheat defeat, then the losses now may be a bit big. But if they really plan to defeat us, such an arrangement... unless the Xianbei people are planning to trick someone or something
power."
Zhao Yun looked at the battle ahead and commented thoughtfully, and his comment also attracted a chorus of approval.
"Perhaps even the Xianbei people themselves did not expect to be so suppressed by the Wusun people in a place like this."
A gloomy voice suddenly sounded, causing the already cold weather to drop a lot. However, for the generals of the Bingzhou Army, this feeling was like a breeze blowing on their faces.
No slightest discomfort.
"Wenhe, the same moves are useless against [beep~] fighters! Ouch..."
"It turns out that the same tricks are useless for my husband. It seems that I need to develop some new things."
Well, it is indeed a wise saying that misfortune comes from the mouth. - by the naughty Li Shushi.
Perhaps as Jia Xu guessed, the Xianbei people did underestimate the fighting power of the Wusun people. Although on the plains the Wusun people were indeed driven to death by the Xianbei people's interspersing and shooting, but in the mountainous areas, their fighting power was not as good.
dropped too much
The Wusun people actually surpassed the Xianbei people, who had dropped by more than 20%, not to mention the royal guards like the Chigu City Army. They had experience in mountain warfare that was no less than that of the rebel troops. It is estimated that there were many who were nearby in the past.
Wandering in the ravines.
So after supporting for a while, the already declining Xianbei people finally seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and began to retreat in an orderly manner, but the direction of their retreat... turned out to be in the valley instead?!
"Did the Xianbei people set up an ambush in the mountains?"
"However, Miss Luohe did not find any signs of large-scale gatherings of people. Even if there are people in the valley, they are only less than a thousand people. There may be some small movements, but it should not cause any trouble."
"There is nothing wrong with being careful. My lord, could you please inform the Wusun people and ask them to be more careful?"
"... Let me inform you that there are two of the queen's confidants who should be able to listen to us. But if you are more resistant, don't be too pushy. Three-legged toads are hard to find, and there are still many obedient Wusun people.
of."
Li Shushi's metaphor aroused laughter from the Bingzhou Army generals, but just when Lu Bu was about to send out scouts, Jia Xu stopped him with a smile, and then gave Li Shushi advice:
"Lord, do you need to drag those Kushan people into the water? If the Wusun people suffer too much loss but the Kushan people are safe, I'm afraid it will cause some unnecessary trouble after the war. In addition, we also need to prepare for the worst.
Be careful that the Xianbei people take advantage of the chaos to counterattack."
Li Shushi nodded, and after a while, the Kushan army also chased after them. Although they behaved more cautiously, this army was after all an army from Gandhara, the capital of the Kushan king, even though Bo Diao should have ordered
They have some things to pay attention to, but they still have their own pride. But Xian
The Xianbei people were defeated by the coalition forces twice in a row, and both times they seemed to be outnumbered. In the eyes of these people, their evaluation of the Xianbei people was at best "no more than that", so they treated Jia Xu slightly.
Even after thinking about the invitation to send troops, I couldn't help but rush out.
Of course, they are not as enthusiastic as the Wusun people. They are just sandwiched between the Wusun people. In this way, with their strength, they will neither miss the opportunity to take advantage of it, nor will they be taken advantage of by those who may appear.
The ambush hurts. It can be said that such a move is quite cautious. After all, even if
No matter how strong and confident they are, they still need a lot of luck to get more loot in that position. Even if they really have a chance to get the big prize, it can only mean that the Wusun people in front have been greatly blocked.
That kind of opponent would probably give even the elite Kushan Gandhara army a headache.
"Okay, it's time for us to get going. Everyone, be careful. This way of fighting is really not like the usual style of the Xianbei people."
"Maybe the Xianbei people have learned to be smart. After all, we have only fought against us once or twice. It's time to put away those arrogant Xin. At least the last time Qianman and Mika went to Ke Zui and got under Fengxian's nose.
The killing of Lemi below is an example of this."
"Hey, hey, hey, Zilong, please stop talking about this matter. Speaking of which, didn't you also have a great fight with Zhi Lianluo Luo and didn't you notice that the guy who replaced Qian Man was actually the younger brother of the leader?
"
In response to Zhao Yun's laughter and scolding, Lu Bu also responded with laughter and scolding. In fact, Le Mi's death has become a dark history for Lu Bu. After all, with his strength at the time, if he hadn't planned to prove it through a life-and-death battle with Ke Zui and Mika.
Even if what I have learned and thought during this period is actually a bit tricky, it will definitely not cause problems for an important person like Le Mi.
However, Lu Bu was just a little embarrassed at most, otherwise Zhao Yun's character would not have teased Lu Bu about this matter, let alone the shadow of a certain fox standing behind Le Mi's death. After all,
Even if the other party has expressed its intention to surrender, its influence in Wusun is still worrying, especially since Li Shushi does not have an emperor in his hands. If something happens in Chang'an, it can be said that Li Shushi is far away in Jinyang.
Completely no chance to react.
So, with a complex state of mind mixed with worry and relaxation, Li Shushi led the Han army and watched the Wusun and Kushan people gradually disappear into the valley.
