Chapter 50: Conquering the Wolf’s Lair!
Only when the cavalry came closer did Wu Ping see who they were.
He is a captain of a thousand guards in the army!
"General, we have destroyed the Xiongnu Wangting tribe and killed all the soldiers!"
Wu Ou was shocked when he heard this.
"What? The Xiongnu royal court was destroyed by you?"
Li Guang glanced at Wu Ping and asked, "What's the big deal?"
Wu Ping didn't react immediately and was still confused. You know, the Xiongnu royal court has always been at the back.
But they were wiped out by this small team of a thousand people!
"No, this... Even if the Xiongnu royal court was weak, it still had at least several thousand people. How could it be destroyed just like this?"
"And their army is right before our eyes!"
Wu Ping was already somewhat incoherent at this point.
"General Wu, the art of war is all about deception!"
"You can only win an attack by taking the enemy by surprise, so don't be too restrictive in head-on confrontation."
Only then did Wu Ping understand what kind of person Li Guang was, and he was glad that he did not become his enemy.
"I will learn from your teachings!"
Li Guang nodded and said, "Let's see the other side's reaction first."
Once the army opposite Li Guang learns that the royal court has been destroyed, there will definitely be riots, and perhaps internal conflicts.
"Maybe we'll just be the ones to reap the benefits!"
At this time, Li Guang was very sure that there would be a conflict on the opposite side. After all, the speed of the cavalry of the Great Zhou was not as fast as that of the Huns.
What's more, the royal court is far away in the depths of the grassland, and only its own people know where it is. It would be extremely difficult for the Great Zhou to find out.
Therefore, the destruction of the royal court was definitely the fuse that ignited their internal conflicts.
When Hutur Khan unified the various Xiongnu tribes, he used many dishonorable means.
After a long time, the scout came to report.
"Report, there is movement in the opposing camp, the soldiers are seen pushing each other, there may be a fight!"
Li Guang smiled and said, "Here comes the opportunity!"
"Order the three armies to prepare for battle!"
Wu Ping was completely numb after watching this. What happened? What happened just now? Why did the people on the opposite side start fighting with each other?
Many questions filled Wu Ping's mind at this time. How did Li Guang do it?
After the three armies were ready, Li Guang gave the order.
"rush!"
Immediately, the cavalry led the way and crossed a small mound, and indeed saw that the Huns had started fighting among themselves!
The cavalry did not stop. If they stopped at this time, not only would they miss the opportunity, but it would also cause losses to themselves!
"Stop fighting! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
When the voice sounded, I looked in the direction of the finger and saw the cavalry led by Li Guang rushing towards this side like a torrent!
"Stop, fight! Fight!"
At this time, the Hun soldiers also felt the earth shaking, and knew that the cavalry charging this time were definitely not few!
I was confused for a moment!
But Hutur Khan's ability lies in his ability to coordinate the various tribes well.
At this time, we are also ready to welcome Li Guang's attack!
Seeing this, Li Guang became even more eager to fight!
"Kill!", Zhan Tian shouted immediately!
In an instant, they rushed forward and the two armies collided!
Because of their internal conflicts just now, the Hun soldiers were not fully prepared at this time.
The soldiers were already exhausted from being chased by Li Guang's troops, and now they were also suffering from internal consumption. They had no will to fight and were instinctively waving their scimitars to survive.
However, as one side gained strength while the other lost strength, how could they be a match for the eager soldiers of the Great Zhou? Soon Li Guang led his troops to surround the Hun army.
"God damn it, who is leading the troops on the other side? There is no news at all. Whose subordinates are these and why are they so brave?"
"Get ready, charge out, we must charge out. While we are surrounded, our rear is weak. Leave some people behind to cover the rear, and the rest of you charge with me!"
When Hutur Khan gave an order, naturally someone would die for him. This is the cruelty of the Huns!
The moment Hutur Khan turned around was captured by Li Guang!
"They are trying to escape. I will stop them and capture Hutul Khan alive!"
At Li Guang's command, the soldiers following behind immediately pressed forward!
The Huns' defense collapsed in an instant!
But Hutur Khan also led his soldiers to fight their way out of a bloody path and fled directly to the rear!
Li Guang naturally couldn't let him run away like this, so he left some of his men behind to clean up the battlefield, and the rest went to chase Hutur Khan.
The pursuit lasted a day and a night.
Finally, Hutur Khan was chased to a mountain, with the edge of the desert behind it.
This mountain is Langjuxu Mountain.
"That's cruel enough. Sooner or later, I, Hutur, will come back and enter the desert!"
The soldiers hesitated for a moment, but they knew that if they did not go deep into the desert this time, they would probably die under the knives of the Great Zhou soldiers.
By the time Li Guang and his men caught up, Hutur Khan had already entered the desert with his remaining troops.
Looking at the mountain in front of him, which should be a hill, Wu Ping sighed: "I have fought dozens of battles with the Xiongnu and have never felt so proud."
"I never thought that I could be able to conquer the Wolf's Lair today thanks to the general!"
Li Guang smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning . As long as Hutul Khan crosses the desert and reaches the northern desert, he will surely continue to reproduce!"
"We must not give them this opportunity. We must annihilate them completely!"
This is not only Li Guang's purpose, but also the task given to me by Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan knew that the Huns would not be destroyed so easily. Only by going deep into the desert could he annihilate them in one fell swoop!
"According to the general's intention, do we have to go deep into the desert?"
Li Guang said without hesitation: "That's right, if we enter this desert, there is an oasis. With the oasis, the Huns will definitely make a comeback!"
"If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze! Don't let the tiger go back to the mountain."
"Of course, this is also the will of His Highness!"
These words were naturally meant to shut Wu Ping up. If he had known that this was his idea, Wu Ping might not necessarily agree to his proposal to go deep into the desert.
But if this was Xiao Yan's order, then Wu Ping would definitely not refuse!
Despite this, Wu Ping still expressed his opinion.
"General, we have already pushed Hutul Khan into this situation. I believe they will not have any more plans!"
"This desert is not a grassland. If we lose our way, we will never be able to get out. What's more, we don't know the situation inside."
"If there is no water source, we will really be buried in this yellow sand forever."
In fact, what Wu Ping said makes sense, but Li Guang’s character is not like that!
"General Wu, first of all, this is His Highness' order, we must execute it!"
"Secondly, the Huns can enter the desert, but we can't?"
