At the same time, the Hua Xia generals were shocked by the tenacity of Li Ling and his soldiers.
Even the people who knew Li Ling in the future had their eyes wide open when they learned the details of the battle for the first time. At the same time, they revealed a look of pity.
"Li Ling's use of troops is like that of a god!"! I want to see how you will break out of the encirclement!”
Li Guang: " My grandson finally didn't get lost in the grasslands. But this time, not only did he not get lost, but he also encountered the entire Xiongnu's main force. He must retreat safely!”
"If the Zhao army had such brave soldiers, why would they fear the Qin army?"？”
Xing Daorong: " I admit that Li Ling's battle prowess is slightly superior to mine. However, my Pear Blossom Mountain Splitting Axe is no joke!"!”
"Our Great Tang's Anxi Army will be like Li Ling. Even if we lose our connection with the Imperial Court, we will defend the Western Regions for the Great Tang to the death!"!”
"Sigh, why can't the infantry of the Great Song defeat the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom?"”
"Lu Bode will definitely be able to provide support, right? Why didn't the other three armies send troops over?”
……
Li Ling encouraged the remaining 3,000 soldiers to continue fighting and retreating.
Their only hope was to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
However, Li Ling would never have thought…
From the start, Lu Bode had no intention of supporting Li Ling.
Lu Bode was an old general while Li Ling was just a fledgling general.
Back when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Lu Bode to protect Li Ling, Lu Bode was already jealous.
Wasn't it an insult to let an old general assist a young general?!
Of course, Li Ling was also overly confident and did not let Lu Bode follow closely behind.
But even so, Lubode still had the obligation to provide support.
The Han army used the spokes and short knives as weapons, fighting and retreating.
For the past few days, they had been heading south and were almost at the border of the Great Han Dynasty.
They finally knew that they would not be able to wait for the reinforcements from the other three armies.
However, there was still hope in Li Ling's heart.
He estimated their approximate location. They were only a hundred miles away from the Great Han Juyan Sai.
If the Han army stationed in Juyan City could be discovered by them, they could also receive reinforcements.
Li Ling used this to encourage the soldiers to continue persevering.
However, Li Ling himself was not completely certain that he would be able to wait for Juyan Sai's reinforcements.
That day, they were surrounded by the Xiongnu cavalry in a valley.
The Xiongnu rolled huge rocks down the mountain. Many Han soldiers were hit by the rocks and were seriously injured, unable to walk.
With just a few dozen more arrows, they would be able to drive the Xiongnu away from the grasslands.
The border of the Great Han Dynasty was just around the corner, but they had no way to break out of the encirclement…
Facing such a desperate situation, a death plan appeared in Li Ling's mind.。
At night, Li Ling wore a thick armor and prepared to sneak in alone to assassinate the Xiongnu Chanyu.
He wanted to attract the attention of the Xiongnu cavalry and buy time for the soldiers to retreat!
The soldiers wanted to stop Li Ling. This plan was too risky. They wanted Li Ling to go with them.
" I'm the number one target of the Xiongnu cavalry," said Li Ling." There's no chance of escaping, but you can take advantage of the chaos to escape."”
He continued," Moreover, the Xiongnu have always wanted to capture me alive. They won't kill me easily. If they find out that I went to assassinate Chanyu, they will definitely surround me with all their strength. At that time, you can take this opportunity to break out of the encirclement!”
Facing the relentless pursuit of the Xiongnu, if the entire army broke out, it would inevitably lead to the outcome of complete annihilation.
That was why Li Ling had thought of this plan. He would use himself to attract the attention of the Xiongnu cavalry and create an opportunity for the soldiers to escape.
When the soldiers heard this plan, they all burst into tears.。
However, Li Ling had given them a death order, and they had to carry it out!!
He also distributed all the remaining food to the soldiers and prepared to move at midnight.
Li Ling and a dozen men of sacrifice attacked the Xiongnu Chanyu. Tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalrymen chased after them relentlessly.
After a few rounds, all the soldiers around him died, and Li Ling was tied up by the Xiongnu.
He wanted to commit suicide but was stopped by the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu Chanyu wanted to keep him in the north of the desert to train his soldiers and use him.
At this point, Li Ling had no choice but to surrender. He decided to feign surrender.
As long as he found an opportunity, he would definitely be able to escape back to the Great Han Dynasty.
On the other side, the remaining soldiers took advantage of the chaos to flee in all directions. Under the interception of the Xiongnu cavalry, there were still many casualties.
In the end, only 400 people escaped back to Juyansai and were received by the guards.
……
In the Great Han world.
"Zhen should have thought of it long ago! Li Ling faked his surrender!"
"Li Ling is loyal, brave, and honest. He has been a general for generations. He is filial to his parents and treats his soldiers leniently. I regret it."
"Li Ling is indeed a man of the Great Han Dynasty!! I regret it!"
The time in the video had already arrived at the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Originally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that Li Ling had completely surrendered and had given up on saving him.
The image of the immortal gave Liu Che motivation again.
"Immortal, please tell me, what should I do next?”
He stared at the video, trying to get a hint from the immortal.
