The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 461
Zhang Xiu led [-] cavalrymen and confronted Langni and others like this for a long time, but Zhang Xiu was not in a hurry because his task was to attract the attention of Xianbei soldiers and horses, and prevent Qiu Liju from sending troops to test Xinping's reality.

"General, it's getting late, it's not suitable to stay here for long."

Seeing that it was getting dark, the lieutenant general had to remind Zhang Xiu that if he couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, he might be surrounded by Xianbei people secretly. If that was the case, the 3000 of them would be finished.

"Mr. Gongwei once said, don't let Xianbei see our timidity, otherwise they will definitely be suspicious. If we go at this time, Xianbei will definitely think that we are afraid, and then we will send troops to test Xinping."

Zhang Xiu shook his head, the biggest difficulty in this plan was how to preserve himself without letting Xianbei suspect him.

"But if Xianbei sends a large army to surround us at night, the consequences will be disastrous." The lieutenant still remembers Meng Jian said that Xianbei must not be surrounded. Once they are surrounded, the fact that Xinping is empty will definitely be revealed, because Xinping No soldiers and horses went to rescue them at all, so it's no wonder Xianbei didn't doubt it.

"Report..."

Just when Zhang Xiu was in a dilemma, a fast horse came from behind, came to Zhang Xiu, and handed a letter to Zhang Xiu. It turned out to be a messenger from Xinping County.

"Okay, sir clever plan."

When Zhang Xiu opened the letter and read it quickly, his face leaked joy.

"Order all the ministries to get off their horses and rest, and set up a stove to cook."

"promise!"

The lieutenant general was puzzled, but he carried out Zhang Xiu's order immediately. Besides, everyone was hungry. At the end of the day, they only ate some dry food and stayed on their horses. Iron Man couldn't stand it.

"What are they doing? Do you really think we dare not attack?" Seeing this, Lang Ni, who was confronting Zhang Xiu in the distance, frowned. You must know that there were five thousand soldiers from the Huns beside him, and he and Hu He each led their own troops. A thousand soldiers and horses came, a total of 7000 people, and a single charge could kill 3000 Han people.

Under such circumstances, the cavalry of the Han army dared to dismount to rest, put on a defenseless posture, and even set up a stove to cook.

"Leader Liu Bao, what do you think?"

Lang Ni remembered Qiu Liju's evaluation of Liu Bao. Liu Bao had a very good head, and Lang Ni didn't mind borrowing it.

"It's hard to say." Liu Bao also looked puzzled, "If they are not afraid of my attack, they should have dismounted and rested long ago. Why wait until now, they are so abnormal, I am afraid there is a fraud in it."

After Langni heard this, his face was cloudy and uncertain, as if he wanted to let the Huns try the Han people's reality, but after thinking about it, he should forget it, so as not to include his two thousand Xianbei soldiers and horses, and finally chose Kuaima to report Give it to Qiu Liju, let Qiu Liju decide, the Han didn't escape anyway, he has plenty of time.

"Send scouts quickly to closely investigate the direction of Xinping." The only thing Qiu Liju thought of was that the Han people still had soldiers and horses leaving the city, so he was not afraid of Xianbei soldiers and horses attacking.

As the night darkened, Xinping City was completely dark, and it was terribly quiet. The east gate of Xinping City opened quietly, and a group of people walked out of Xinping City without formation. People smeared and hurried on their way.

The Xianbei scout who approached Xinping City at night heard this voice, and his expression changed drastically. After a little more confirmation, he hurriedly backed away, found the war horse in the distance, and rushed back to the Xianbei camp to report.

What he didn't know was that the group of people who left the city quietly went back through another city gate after a circle outside the city, and did not leave Xinping City at all.

"What? There is a large group of people leaving the city! I don't know how many people are there?!" Qiu Liju was shocked when he heard this. If this is the case, then the behavior of Zhang Xiu and others is justified. Zhang Xiu is trying to hold back with his own life Langni and others also misled the Xianbei army, and then waited for the Han army to arrive, and then attacked the Xianbei camp at night.

"Order Langni to bring people back to the camp quickly, and let everyone go back to the camp without dismounting, and be ready to fight at any time." Qiu Liju is sure that the Han people must want to sneak attack them at night. If this is the case, he can use his plan , Leave all the Han people who came to attack.

After Lang Ni received Qiu Liju's order, he hurriedly led the army back. Zhang Xiu, who had rested, saw the movements of the Xianbei people, and knew that Meng Jian's plan had succeeded. Ni and the others were terrified.

Zhang Xiu's behavior made Qiu Liju more certain that the Han army was coming to attack their camp, and hurriedly mobilized all the troops to prepare to kill the Han soldiers.

"Walk......"

Swimming around outside the Xianbei camp, seeing that there was no movement in the Xianbei camp, Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, knowing that they could hold back the Xianbei soldiers and horses for another night, and immediately disappeared into the darkness with everyone.

"It seems that Langni and others retreated to let the Han people know that we are prepared and dare not come in for a sneak attack. The Han people are really cunning." After waiting all night, the exhausted Qiu Liju had the urge to scold his mother.

If I had known that this would make the Han people so vigilant, it would be better to leave the Huns outside and give them as gifts to the Han people.

It's not that Qiu Liju didn't think about using the Huns as bait, but he was afraid that the Huns would leave his surveillance and join the Han, which would make him even more dangerous.

"Send servants to investigate the movements of the Han people, and closely monitor the Han army in Xinping City." Seeing that it was dawn, more than [-] troops stayed on horseback for a night, cold and hungry, and fell asleep again. If they are not allowed to rest , the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

"kill!"

Before the Xianbei people who had just finished breakfast went to bed, there was a sound of shouting and killing outside the camp. The Xianbei people had to get on their horses and prepare. Qiu Liju led the crowd to the gate of the camp. A team of 2000 Han Chinese cavalry is calling out outside the camp.

"King, it's Zhang Xiu." Lang Ni stared at Zhang Xiu viciously, his heart burning with anger.

"My lord, they only have 2000 troops. I will lead people to kill them all." Lou Ban immediately called for a battle. With only 2000 people, he came to the army camp of more than [-] people to call for battle. He was looking for death.

"No." Qiu Liju shook his head and said, "The Han people dare to come here like this, they must be deceitful."

The scheming of the Han people has long been known in the grassland, and every leader in the grassland knows too much about the Han people because they have too many tricks, which often make their grassland army suffer, and Qiu Liju is no exception.

"When I left the city, I paid back three thousand yesterday, but today I only brought two thousand. It seems that the Han people are really afraid that we will not fight." Qiu Liju frowned, thinking that Zhang Xiu was deliberately showing weakness and leading them to fight.

In fact, Qiu Liju misunderstood Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu also wanted to bring more troops, but unfortunately there was no one available, and today he sent another thousand to hunt down the scouts sent by Xianbei, lest the Xianbei people find out the truth of Xinping.
