Chapter 40 Two Men of Little Talk



Xiao He, who was the first to discover something was wrong, also appeared in the discussion.

Xiao He did not disappoint everyone and shared his observations of the terrain on the battlefields and his immature battle plans.

The military doesn't have that kind of hypocrisy. The soldiers of Longsheng are all first-class men. For those who have real talents and can do real work, we don't care whether their position is high or low. As long as you have the ability, we will trust you.

After Xiao He told his plan, several experienced generals walked around on the sand table and predicted various possibilities, saying that the plan was feasible.

No one celebrated in advance. The battlefield was changing rapidly, and everything had to wait until the dust settled.

The Tatars launched an attack as usual, and when they reached a certain position, they sounded the horn again, preparing to retreat.

But this time, the Sheng family army did not chase after a few miles as usual, but kept following closely.

The shouts were sonorous and powerful, and the Tatars murmured

What's wrong with this group of Central Plains people? But they also ran towards their camp even harder.

He ran too fast and didn't notice the ropes on the ground. Someone ambushed him and tripped his running horse. The horses fell to the ground in an instant.

The archers lying in ambush were ready and shot towards the Tatars.

The Sheng family army, which was chasing them from behind, also came up and joined the fight. The Tatars were attacked from both sides by the Sheng family army, and most of them were killed in an instant.

The Tatars saw that the people who had gone out had not returned on time, so they stood on the tower to observe what was going on, but they could not see anything.

According to Xiao He's plan, some people used shields to refract light so that the Tatars could not observe the situation here, buying more time for the siege.

When the Tatars attacked again, it also bought time for Sheng's army to retreat.

The siege ended and the Tatars couldn't wait any longer and sent out another army.

The Sheng family army took advantage of the changes in the sun and constantly adjusted the position of the shield. The Tatars who came out from the other side did not dare to move forward under the light.

By the time they could see the battlefield clearly, the Sheng family army had already retreated to a safe position.

The Tatars were left to collect the bodies of their compatriots

The Sheng family army suffered no casualties this time, but it also damaged half of the Tatars' vitality. They will not send troops again in the short term.

More importantly, these soldiers had been holding their breath after being smuggled by the Tatars, and now they finally vented their anger.

Xiao He made great contributions and performed outstandingly in this battle, and was promoted to the rank of centurion.

When the guards found Xiao He, he was trying to train his soldiers by combining modern and ancient methods.

"Captain Xiao, the prince invites you."

Since that battle, Long Sheng has had a new respect for Xiao He. He has always known the truth that knowing yourself and the enemy is the key to success in a hundred battles.

Now I think that taking the enemy by surprise is more likely to win, so when I and my generals are stuck in a bottleneck, I will listen to Xiao He's advice, which usually opens up new ideas.

"Prince"

Xiao He saluted Long Sheng

"Xiao He is here, no need to be polite, please sit down."

Xiao He found a seat and sat down

"Do you know why I want to see you?"

"I don't know"

“Food and military pay were looted.”

"oh"

Xiao He thought that as a centurion, he had no right to comment on this matter.

Even if the sky falls, there is still someone to hold it up. Besides, Longsheng can talk about this calmly, so he must have known who did it.

So it’s inappropriate for me to say anything, so I just don’t say anything.

Without Sun Ye to mediate, the two men who didn't talk much fell into a strange silence again.
