In the end, he couldn't comb the hairstyle that Qiao Mingyu had been thinking about for a long time, because Gu Lian said that he wanted a light hairstyle, otherwise it would affect his work. So Qiao Mingyu could only regretfully change the complicated but beautiful hairstyle that he imagined, which is the fairy moon temples that have always been popular in Huaijing.
After breakfast, the two latecomers hurried to the front line, and the Xiongnu leader had been standing on the tower for a while. Seeing Qiao Mingyu coming, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he flew down the tower.
"Qiao Mingyu, dare to fight?!"
Qiao Mingyu snorted, why is this man so annoying, and he fights just after eating without letting anyone rest.
Gu Lian stopped Qiao Mingyu and said loudly: "Rude! My family's generals have finished their breakfast, and they need to rest for half an hour before they can fight. You, a big man, don't understand these rules, how can you fight right after eating. Yes, and I'm not afraid of stomach pain."
"..." The leader held his breath.
How did he know when Qiao Mingyu had finished eating! Moreover, the Huns have never been so rude, and the people of the Xi Dynasty today are troublesome.
Being scolded by a delicate little woman, the Xiongnu leader was a little unhappy. But yesterday, he had seen her sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and he couldn't tell the other party. If he held onto her and was mocked and bullied by a woman, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
There was no other way, the leader had to go back again, wait for an hour, just wait for an hour, what's the big deal.
However, going down the tower is easy, but going up is difficult. The Xiongnu leader couldn't make it lightly, so he couldn't fly up, so he could only raise his head dejectedly and yell at the people above to open the door, and then walked into the city by himself.
Qiu He stood next to him and laughed until he fell down, and finally she was no longer alone with Gu Lian's stomachache.
Moreover, the Xiongnu leader was afraid that not only had his stomach hurt, but he also had a headache. Maybe the chest also hurts, the lungs also hurt, and the internal organs hurt.
In short, Qiu He decided to give him a wax silently.
An hour passed quickly, and Qiao Mingyu also rested.
This time, the Xiongnu leader did not pretend to force him to fly down from the city tower.
The Xiongnu leader had seen Qiao Mingyu's equestrianism, and he didn't think he had any advantages in equestrianism. The leader who died in the battle yesterday was the best equestrian among them, and the others couldn't compare, so it could be seen that Qiao Mingyu was actually very good at equestrian.
Thinking that it would be more difficult to use ten percent of the strength and movement skills in a martial arts competition, the Xiongnu leader decided to dismount to fight. Qiao Mingyu had no objection. She also felt that she was disadvantaged by the Huns in equestrianism.
When the masters of the Xiongnu did not ride horses, their combat strength was not much weaker. They had many unarmed fighting activities on weekdays, and they learned from each other in martial arts, and their movement skills and actual combat experience were not weak. Qiao Mingyu is not stronger than him, but fortunately, he is more flexible and won't suffer in a fight.
Gu Lian didn't feel any pressure, and watched the two of them play leisurely. While dodging each other's attacks, the two tried to find a loophole. After a quarter of an hour, they fought for hundreds of rounds, but they were indistinguishable. Seeing that there was still a fight, Gu Lian confirmed that the strength of the Xiongnu leader was indeed comparable to that of Qiao Mingyu and stopped paying attention.
Zhuxiang was about to die of nervousness, she clenched her fists and kept waving them, fearing that her voice would disturb Qiao Mingyu, she silently cheered her on in her heart. When I turned around and saw that my young lady had started to play leisurely, she suddenly became confused.
"Xiao, county owner?" Zhuxiang was puzzled, "Why don't you watch them fight?"
Even she, who doesn't know martial arts, thinks that these two are very exciting when you come and I fight, and they can't take their eyes off it.
Gu Lian touched Xiao Snake's belly and responded casually: "What are you looking at? There's nothing to see, and they can't tell the difference after an hour."
"Is that so?" Zhuxiang was surprised.
Because the Huns attacked with great strength, they looked very imposing. In contrast, although Qiao Mingyu himself felt that he was able to handle it with ease, outsiders were still terrified, and always felt that Qiao Mingyu would be hit if he was not careful. So at first glance, it seemed that Qiao Mingyu was suppressed by the Xiongnu leader, and everyone watching the battle could not help but feel uneasy, for fear that Qiao Mingyu would be defeated.
However, Gu Lian said that the two people's martial arts skills are half a catty, and there is no way to tell the winner in a short period of time.
There are only a few generals with high military force here. Some of them are good at military tactics and can't see the way out, but others nodded when they heard the words: "Yes, the generals and the Huns are indistinguishable, so don't worry about the generals falling. defeat."
Although they were not like Gu Lian who could tell at a glance when the two would be the winner, they also knew that it was impossible in a short period of time. Gu Lian didn't say how long it was, anyway, the two monarchs couldn't really fight for a day, and they would stop and come back. There will be more opportunities to fight in the future. Qiao Mingyu also cherishes this well-matched battle sandbag and will keep it for more fights.
Although, it's a bit unfair to say that.
However, Zhuxiang felt that her young lady must be much more powerful than the princess, otherwise she wouldn't be able to see it so easily. She thought of how the young lady walked to the battlefield so calmly to confront the Huns yesterday, and felt her blood boiled. If only she could have such a high level of martial arts.
It's a pity that she is not a martial artist. After learning so long, Qixiu's basic moves can only be used seven, seven, eight, eight.
When it was time for lunch, Gu Lian shouted, "General's ready for dinner," and saw Qiao Mingyu swipe away the Xiongnu broadsword with a neat shot. Although the Xiongnu leader wanted to complain about something, he didn't know where to start. He happened to be hungry, so he followed Qiao Mingyu's strength and took a few steps back to distance himself from Qiao Mingyu.
"I'm going back to eat, I'll fight next time!"
After that, Qiao Mingyu flew on his horse and ran back to the camp of Tianxi Dynasty.
The Xiongnu leader was left hanging in place, and before she could say a word, she saw that she had already rushed back, standing there desolately, as if she had been forgotten by the world.
Gu Lian and Qiao Mingyu didn't care what he thought, they went back to the camp and ate the meal first.
Qiao Mingyu did not go to the front in the afternoon, and the Xiongnu leader didn't seem to have the heart to fight any more. A few teenagers came out to call for battle, and I fought with the Xiongnu, but each had their own victory and defeat, which had little impact on morale.
In the evening, General Wei reported the news of the ambush army, saying that the first battle was a complete victory.
"Hanyueguan is really willing to send people." General Wei sighed, "There are a thousand cavalry, and when the horses are not easy to walk in the mountains, they dismount and lead them away. As a result, they were ambushed by our people and suffered heavy casualties."
Gu Lian raised her eyebrows slightly: "A thousand people?"
Their ambushes were only 1,500 soldiers, and it stands to reason that they suffered a loss. After all, it was not a problem for the Huns to take one as three.
General Wei smiled: "Didn't they dismount? Our archers will give priority to attacking the horses. If the horses are messed up, it will be difficult to clean up. No matter how good the Huns are at equestrianism, they can't stop a group of madly galloping horses. , a group of horses ran around, and the rest of the horses were also running around in panic. If you think about that scene, the Huns couldn't control it at all."
The Huns' hummers ran wild, and naturally knocked down people, and the stampede of horses and other people was enough to kill these people. Therefore, the Tianxi soldiers didn't fight much, and Ma first helped them deal with a bunch of Xiongnu. The Xiongnu army was in great chaos, and when they returned to the defense, they did not have a plan, so the fight was much easier.
"Who came up with this idea?" Zuo Lieutenant General was surprised, "It's rotten and rotten!"
General Wei said righteously: "It was the last general who had an idea, and he has to thank the county owner for his previous wonderful strategies. The last general was inspired by this before he could come up with it."
Gu Lian: "...Go away."
You are full of bad water, don't rely on her head.
General Wei didn't mind either, he "rolled" to the entrance of the tent with a smile, and "rolled" back.
"I'm afraid the Huns won't bring horses after that," Qiao Mingyu said.
Gu Lian agreed: "Not only that, they may also go up the mountain from the back of the mountain, trying to attack our ambush from behind. Don't let them succeed, remember that there must be scouts patrolling the entire mountain."
General Wei put away his hippie smile and nodded solemnly: "Yes, the last commander has already ordered." After thinking about it, he added, "There is one more thing, after the Xiongnu's horses calmed down, we found them. However, only 600 horses were recovered, and some were injured."
King Zhuang's eyes lit up: "Good job!"
Horses are precious goods, and they don't have much equipment in their barracks. Cavalry is a very useful unit, but it is troublesome to train, there are not many horses, and it is very distressing to die. Now, with 600 more horses in vain, they can have 600 more cavalry.
Arms like cavalry, even if only a hundred people can have a very strong impact on the infantry camp, so 600 horses may seem like a small number in a military camp with tens of thousands of people, but it is not a small number.
"I will send people to continue the search for the remaining horses." Qiao Mingyu made a decisive decision. "You don't have to worry about this matter, and focus on dealing with the Huns. The ambush is exposed, and the following is a tough battle. The advantage is weakened, and it is not so easy to fight."
General Wei hurriedly responded.
For a head-to-head encounter, it is obviously not enough to rely on a thousand infantry and a few hundred archers. He needs more manpower. Qiao Mingyu generously allocated 3,000 people to him, no matter how many mountains and forests it was, it would be difficult to hide and use it.
Gu Lian looked at the sand table map thoughtfully, pointed to Hanyueguan and asked, "Are there mountains on both sides of Hanyueguan?"
Vice Admiral Zuo has been in the northwest for many years, and he is very familiar with the terrain here. I don't know why Gu Lian asked this question, he nodded: "It's really all mountains."
"How tall?" Gu Lian asked.
Lieutenant General Zuo thought about it for a while, but couldn't say how high it was, after all, no one had measured it.
What Gu Lian wanted to ask was not this, but: "How is the snow on the mountain?"
The author has something to say: Ah Lian is going to have a bad idea again!
