Chapter 21: Lou Jing Sighs for the Han Army
Hu Yancao looked left and right, but no one paid him any attention, so he had to speak up himself.
"It seems that Wei Ping is indeed a brave but reckless man. If another army is set up here, the soldiers will surely kill each other in order to save their lives. Even we will not be able to stop them. Heaven has not forsaken us."
Yes, Wei Ping!
Wei Ping still hasn't shown up!
Reminded by the Left Wise King, the Right Wise King finally remembered who he had forgotten: Wei Ping, the greatest nightmare of the Xiongnu.
Wei Ping wasn't present during the first two ambushes, so where could he be?
The Right Wise King's face turned deathly pale. Looking at the exit behind him, he realized that the Left Wise King's jinx had probably come true. Where else could Wei Ping be better off ambushing him than here at the exit?
"Quickly, accelerate the advance! There's an ambush!"
Before he finished speaking, countless black banners appeared again on both sides of the exit mountain, and even a large banner with the character "Wei" was erected, making many Xiongnu nobles feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
They could only watch helplessly as their troops suffered heavy losses amidst rolling stones and a hail of arrows; sending them back to rescue their men was something they would never dare to do.
What's the difference between that and sending someone to their death?
Just as the Left Wise King said, all the Xiongnu soldiers knew that the exit was just ahead.
As long as you can get out, the sky's the limit and the sea is wide enough for birds to fly and fish to leap.
That way you can survive!
In such situations, trampling, attacking, and killing each other are common occurrences.
All the Xiongnu soldiers charged forward with all their might.
After this campaign, the total number of Xiongnu soldiers was less than 8.
The Han army annihilated 12 enemy troops, with 0 deaths and 1 seriously wounded.
This unlucky guy slipped and broke his leg while climbing the mountain.
"Han army, I, the Left Wise King Huyan Cao, swear once again that I will not be a man if I do not avenge this humiliation!"
"Wei Ping, I swear to kill you!"
Hu Yancao shouted in grief and indignation.
Many of the Xiongnu people also had bloodshot eyes and wanted to curse the Han army.
At this time, Wei Ping had already led his troops down the mountain and joined forces with Fan Kuai and Wei Yang.
The Han cavalry divided into dozens of groups according to their formation and charged toward the command point where the Xiongnu army was assembled.
"Oh no! It's the Han army's demon general! Run!"
Hu Yancao has developed a phobia of Wei Ping. Whenever he sees Wei Ping, he shudders, turns around, and runs away, completely unlike the passionate oath he made just now.
Seeing that even the most powerful Left Wise King under the Chanyu had fled, the other nobles would not risk their lives to buy time for the Left Wise King.
With their remnants and defeated troops, they dared not even dream of dealing with the demon's army.
Many nobles led the escape, leaving the Xiongnu soldiers in chaos with no one to organize a defense.
The Han army easily broke through the command line, and now even if someone wanted to stop the counterattack or even defend, it would be impossible. Without the crucial command node, orders could not be issued.
The Xiongnu army was being chased by 20,000 Han soldiers, with soldiers constantly falling behind and being slaughtered by the Han army.
The Han army fought their way out for hundreds of miles before finally returning under Wei Ping's orders to cook and prepare a meal, as they still had a tough battle to fight.
The Xiongnu camp outside Yanmen Pass.
Lou Jing ordered Lao Shang Chanyu to prepare his troops after the Xiongnu army left.
Judging that the ambush at Daqingshan had already begun, he then ordered Lao Shang Chanyu to set off.
He was also afraid that Wei Ping would turn around and ignore everyone else, instead ambushing the old Chanyu.
After all, the old Shangshan was the leader of the Xiongnu.
Only by keeping their distance from the Left Wise King and his forces could the Han army continue their ambush even if they discovered the king's tent was not there, given the sheer number of Xiongnu troops present.
That way they will be safe.
Upon reaching the entrance to Daqingshan, the stench of blood could be smelled for miles around, and the corpses of Xiongnu soldiers were everywhere.
The old Chanyu looked at Lou Jing as if he were seeing a god.
"If it weren't for the Imperial Advisor, who would know if our bodies were here?"
The old Chanyu said respectfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty flatters me. Even the best strategy needs a ruler who can listen and offer advice. Your Majesty deserves some credit for this."
The two of them politely declined each other's advances for a while, their eyes practically brimming with longing, before reluctantly entering Daqingshan.
"Ugh."
After traveling some distance into the Daqingshan Mountains, Lou Jing's eyes lit up. He decided to solidify his image in the eyes of the Chanyu and deliberately ran up to the old Chanyu and let out a long sigh.
Why did the Imperial Advisor sigh?
The old Chanyu, being very sensible, offered his support.
"I lament that Wei Ping was without strategy and the Han army lacked wisdom."
"If the Han army appoints me as their military advisor, I will surely set up an ambush here a second time to strike at the Chanyu's manpower."
Lou Jing tilted his chin up and said pretentiously.
He knew that this place couldn't possibly have much prepared for an ambush, unless they specifically left some for them.
How is that possible?
The fact that they were able to leave behind more than 10,000 Xiongnu soldiers here in such a hurry speaks volumes.
Wei Ping already had insufficient troops on the grasslands, and he also had to leave some to guard the spoils of war, so he simply didn't have much time to prepare.
But the old Chanyu (ruler) couldn't have imagined it.
He looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and gasped for breath, choking on the stench of blood.
"The Grand Preceptor is right. Fortunately, the Grand Preceptor has entered our Xiongnu territory."
Lou Jing nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased with his quick wit.
"kill!"
Suddenly, gongs and drums rose into the sky on the mountain, banners were everywhere, and stones began to fall from the ground from time to time.
"Run!"
Lou Jing and the old Chanyu replicated the actions of the Left Wise King here, riding their horses at full speed.
When they arrived at the second ambush location.
The old commander counted the number of men and found that the loss was no more than a thousand.
"Just as I expected, they used most of their supplies to attack other Xiongnu armies, leaving only a little to make us panic. In reality, they won't suffer much loss."
Lou Jing stroked his beard and voiced his speculation.
The old Chanyu nodded slightly, confirming that the Grand Preceptor was indeed very capable.
The army marched to the second ambush location.
Lou Jing sighed again.
"Ugh."
The old Chanyu asked suspiciously, "Why is the Grand Preceptor sighing again?"
I lament that the Han general lacked wisdom and strategy.
"If the Han army had me as their strategist, I would have known that when our Xiongnu army reached this place, they would have relaxed and thought that this place was the same as before, with almost no ambush."
"We don't need many people, just a few thousand, to cause us huge losses again."
"hiss!"
The strategists of the Han Dynasty were so formidable, able to read his mind perfectly.
So terrifying.
