The Huns were running wolf-like and desperate, and they just wanted to escape from this desperate battlefield as soon as possible.They were already stunned.In their memory, the defeat was not unfought, but it was the first time in history that they were defeated by the Han army in a cavalry battle, and it was completely defeated.From the Aries King to the ordinary Hun soldiers, there was no psychological preparation.For the Han army, it was a victory that had been longed for too long.As the children of the six counties, they have seen too many tragic scenes of the Huns invading the Han land and capturing the villagers, but they are unable to attack due to the orders and strength of the imperial court, and even if they counterattack, they only drive the Huns out of the border, and have never penetrated into the territory of the Huns, let alone take the initiative to attack the Huns.Of course, they didn't think about what a brilliant victory they could achieve.At this moment, they enjoyed the fruits of their victory, ruthlessly chasing and killing the defeated Huns, venting the anger and hatred accumulated for a long time, and repaying the Huns exponentially.If Cheng Buzhi and the others were surprised and happy, first surprised and then rejoiced, then the Huns who were responsible for blocking Cheng Buzhi only felt panic, not a trace of joy.As soon as they heard the thunderous sound of war drums and horses' hooves, they knew that something was wrong, and they could no longer care about intercepting Cheng Buzhi, so they turned around and ran.Unfortunately, they were too arrogant and reacted a step too late.If Li Guang escapes while he is fighting with the Aries King, they still have a chance to live.Now that Li Guang has defeated the Aries King, the battle situation has entered a downward pursuit situation, and these defeated generals who have been beaten by Cheng Buzhi still want to retreat with their whole body, which is a little whimsical.Their luck was very bad and they ran headlong into Han Qianqiu, who was the last to enter the battlefield.When Han Qianqiu arrived, Li Guang had already achieved a clear advantage, as soon as he saw his battle flag, the Aries King turned around and ran, the Huns were all scattered, and they fled faster than rabbits, and Han Qianqiu didn't cut off a few heads at all.At this moment, I saw the remnants of a Xiongnu of two or three thousand people.They will not let it go.One wants to grab people's heads and be murderous; One just wants to run for his life and has no intention of fighting.The two sides decided the winner with a single charge.The Huns fled and returned to their homes.Each looks for his own mother, and no one can take care of anyone.Han Qianqiu did not give up, led the army to chase after him, and beheaded countless people.As these Huns fled the battlefield, the heavens and the earth gradually quieted down.Night covers the land.The Han army camped according to the steps, lit piles of bonfires, buried pots to cook, counted losses, treated the wounded, and countless military officials lit torches and endured the disgusting smell of blood to count the corpses on the battlefield in order to calculate the merits of the battle.Liang Xiao found Li Guang for the first time.Li Guang was in a good mood, his weather-beaten black face was full of smiles, and his voice was a little hoarse.Zhongqi is still full.Seeing Liang Xiao, Li Guang immediately left the guards beside him, walked over quickly, grabbed Liang Xiao's shoulder hard, and patted him hard."
Boy, this battle is a good fight, hahaha" The generals on the side looked at it with some envy in their eyes.Li Guang has always been arrogant and rarely takes the initiative to welcome people.But they didn't have anything to say, if it weren't for Liang Xiao's insistence on the configuration of one person and three horses.How could they seize such an opportunity, how could they have won such a great victory?
Thousands of miles to run, less to win more, this if it is spread out.Who can disobey the crowd will come forward one after another to salute and shout.Liang Xiao smiled and returned the salute, and said to Li Guang: "General, take a step to speak" Li Guang was still immersed in excitement, and couldn't help but have some doubts.However, Liang Xiao gave him advice several times, which turned out to be very crucial in hindsight.He didn't think much about it, and pulled Liang Xiao.Turned around and went into the big tent.The big tent has not been cleaned up yet, and there is no place to sit, and a few guards and officials are cleaning up.Li Guang stood in the tent and said with a big grin: "Say it." ”Liang Xiao looked at the guards and officials who were busy, and was silent.Li Guang raised his eyebrows, muttered, waved his hand and drove the guards and officials out, only the two of them were left in the big tent, and said: "You can talk about it now" Liang Xiao bowed."
General, I have a reluctant request.""
Reluctantly invited" Li Guang's eyes shrank, and the smile on his face dispersed."
What do you want to say, Bo Ming, you are already the marquis of 1,800 households.I know that you have the greatest credit for the success of this attack, and you are a pioneer, but the country has its own system" Liang Xiao smiled, waved his hand again and again, and said angrily: "General, I am so unbearable in your eyes, I actually want to rely on your way to compete with my colleagues" "No, that's great." ”Li Guangru was relieved and laughed awkwardly."
Bo Ming, I know you're not such a person.However, don't blame me for my chicken belly, there is never a shortage of nobles who use the prestige of the court to mix military exploits.You are a person who is trusted by the Son of Heaven, and there is some criticism in the army, so I can't help but say ugly things ahead.As you know, it's not easy for soldiers to earn some military merit. ”"Alright, alright."
Liang Xiao smiled bitterly and interrupted Li Guang.He knew what Li Guang was worried about.The officers and soldiers in the army have fought all their lives, and the rewards they receive are not as good as those of a close minister next to the Son of Heaven.There are many people who can be gilded with a layer of gold without even participating in a battle.He wore the armor given by the Son of Heaven to swagger through the market, and his body was also branded with the marks of the Son of Heaven's close ministers, and no one criticized him behind his back."
General, I'm really here to fight for merit, but not for myself."
Liang Xiao put away his smile and said very seriously: "It's for General Cheng." ”"Lao Cheng" Li Guang raised his eyebrows, surprised."
What kind of merit are you fighting for him" "General, think about it carefully, if General Cheng hadn't taken the initiative to attack and contain at least five or six thousand Hun cavalry, would we have been able to win so easily" Li Guang's eyebrows slowly frowned.He has been in battle for a long time, and he has known Cheng Buzhi for many years, and when he sees Cheng Buzhi appearing here, how can he not know the reason.He also knew exactly how much it would take to fight back against the cavalry with foot soldiers."
Bo Ming, I understand what you mean.However, although the Aries King was defeated this time, the number of decapitations was limited.If we give him some more, we won't be enough. ”Li Guang stared at Liang Xiao's eyes."
I can wait a little longer, what will the soldiers do to let them give the heads they have worked so hard to cut off to others, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Liang Xiao nodded again and again.He knew that it was not easy, so he was in a hurry to find Li Guang.When Li Guang let his words out, then things will not be easy to handle."
General, I can understand the feelings of my brothers.But the general also had to think about General Cheng and his subordinates, who also paid a great sacrifice.If because of the insufficient number of beheadings, we can only watch us receive rewards in the end, next time, can they still take the initiative to cooperate with us so much" Liang Xiao said bitterly and analyzed it again and again."
General, the purpose of this battle is not to behead a lot, but to seize Henan.Without the cooperation of the foot soldiers, even if we defeat the Huns, it will be difficult to hold Henan.If you win first and then lose, where will you get your military merits" Li Guang hugged his chest with one hand, rubbed his beard, and muttered.According to the military merit system of the Han army, you can't be a marquis without merit, but it is not easy to make military merits.Generally speaking, there are three necessary conditions: first, to win the battle, draw or lose the battle, no matter how many beheadings are useless; secondly, the number of beheadings should be at least more than 1,000; Below this standard, there is a chance to be promoted, but it is impossible to be a marquis.The number of decapitations should also be calculated while taking into account the casualties, and if the number of casualties and the number of decapitations are comparable, the number of decapitations is useless.Finally, the number of beheadings should also match the number of troops, usually more than 30% of the troops.For example, if you lead an army of 10,000 to fight, if the net number of beheadings is less than 3,000, the possibility of being a marquis is also very low.Combining these three conditions, there are several necessary conditions for achieving military merit: First, one must be qualified to command a sufficient number of large armies.The kings of the Huns have at least 20,000 horsemen, there is not enough military advantage, once they meet the Huns, it is fortunate to be undefeated, where is there a chance to win.In fact, under the condition of ensuring victory, the casualties must not be too large, otherwise it will be in vain.Finally, there must be enough net beheadings, at least more than 30% of the force.Li Guang and Cheng have been stationed in the border for many years, why have they not been able to follow the way of Huang Lao, and they are not allowed to take the initiative to attack, and the lack of troops is the most fundamental problem.The border county Taishou could only command 10,000 cavalry at most, and could not form a military advantage over the Huns at all, so how could he win.It is good if the meritorious feudal marquis can not suffer defeat.Therefore, this expedition, whether for Li Guang or for Cheng Buzhi, is a rare opportunity to be a marquis for the first time in a lifetime, and they have the opportunity to command enough troops.However, for Cheng Buzhi and Han Anguo, the lack of cavalry was still the biggest obstacle to their feudal feuds.As soon as the situation was unfavorable to the Huns, the Huns would leave the battlefield, they could not catch up with the Huns, and it would be difficult to obtain a sufficient number of beheadings.Only Li Guang has this condition.Therefore, Han Anguo and Cheng Buzhi were entangled with the Huns for so many days, and they were still hopeless, but Li Guang came from behind and cut enough Hun heads at once.But then again, if it weren't for Han Anguo and Cheng Buzhi to contain the Huns, would Li Guang have been able to achieve such a victory, especially Cheng Buzhi, if he didn't take the initiative to attack and contain at least 5,000 troops of the Aries King, even if Li Guang could still win, I'm afraid it would be a miserable victory, and whether he could make up enough net beheadings was still a question mark.Li Guang was silent.Liang Xiao stared at Li Guang's eyes, his heart pounding.He knew that Li Guang was in a difficult situation, and if he gave Cheng Buzhi a part of the head, not only would he have little hope of becoming a marquis, but he would also not be able to explain to the soldiers under his command.Those rough men can't think about it so much, who wants to rob them of their merits, they dare to use knives to cut people.What should be said has been said, and the decision is in Li Guang's hands.If Li Guang refused, he couldn't help it.But I'm afraid the next battle will be difficult to fight, and whoever wants to make a wedding dress for someone will not pull your hind legs.Li Guang's face changed, he thought for a long time, and sighed: "Boming, you're right, I can't take advantage of Lao Cheng."
The eldest husband is in the world, there is kindness to repay kindness, there is revenge to revenge, and he can't forget righteousness.Although military merit is important, it is not as innocent as mine. ”Liang Xiao was overjoyed and bowed to yznn:
