Dream realm, the Frontier.
Gu Beilu gripped the long spear in his hand tightly. He let out a breath of turbid air and looked at the boundless desert in the distance.
"I hope my train of thought is correct. Otherwise, the five Vitality points that I gained during the day will fall back again.”
Gu Beilu subconsciously tightened his grip on the spear in his hand.
"However, even if my thinking is correct, can I replicate Huo Qubing's legend and overturn the Xiongnu's base camp with just 800 cavalry?”
Thinking of this, Gu Beilu suddenly felt a little uncertain.
Even if the Xiongnu army was fighting outside, there would be no less than ten thousand or even more people guarding the main camp!
Gu Beilu rode his horse with his head lowered, thinking of a way to break the situation.
Although 800 elite soldiers were not a small number, they were far from enough in front of an army of tens of thousands.
It was absolutely impossible to win in a normal fight.
However, the history books only said that Huo Qubing won this battle, but they didn't say how he won it.
What kind of advantage did Huo Qubing have against the enemy?
This inevitably gave Gu Beilu a headache. He thought for a long time but could not come up with a clue.
"What are you thinking about? Where did that insufferably arrogant look from the last victory go? Cheer up. When the battle starts, watch and learn!”
At this time, Wei Qing frowned and scolded Gu Beilu.
Gu Beilu was slightly stunned, then he nodded.
Then, Wei Qing pulled the reins and urged the horse to ride to the front of the army. He shouted,
"Listen, whoever kills five Xiongnu people will be promoted to captain of ten, ten, centurion, and one hundred. I will personally report to the Emperor and be rewarded by the Emperor!”
Instantly, the entire army responded with high morale!
"Today is the day to make contributions!"
"Today is the day to make contributions!"
"Today is the day to make contributions!"
Seeing this scene, even Gu Beilu could not help but be affected, his gaze flickering.
Looking at the mighty army forming a line, Gu Beilu gripped the spear in his hand tightly, and the biting cold west wind continuously struck his chest!
At this moment, Gu Beilu seemed to understand something.
"Who says I don't have any advantages?"
Gu Beilu felt as if balls of fire had jumped out of his chest!
"I am the advantage!"
"The current me is Huo Qubing, a general with a flag, a horse riding out of the Great Wall! He's the enemy of ten thousand men!"
"This body is my only advantage!”
"I alone am an army of thousands!”
Gu Beilu slowed down his pace as he watched the army march towards the north.
In the desert, the wind and sand are chaotic.
Before long, the army had completely disappeared from Gu Beilu's sight.
Seeing this, many soldiers were puzzled.
"General Huo, did we get lost?”
The deputy general carrying a bow and arrow rode to Gu Beilu's side and asked,""If we don't speed up, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up to the army.”
"I didn't get lost."
Gu Beilu shook his head. He looked towards the northwest and asked,""Do you still remember the map we seized from the enemy general in the last battle?”
The deputy general was slightly stunned and nodded.
"If I remember correctly, the Xiongnu's base camp is over there.”
Gu Beilu pointed his whip to the northwest and said,""Let's go over there!"
Hearing this, the 800 soldiers 'expressions changed. They were all dumbfounded and could not believe their ears.
"General Huo, you can't do that!”
The deputy general was also shocked and quickly stopped him,"Although the Xiongnu army is fighting outside, there are at least tens of thousands of defenders. Our eight hundred men are no different from hitting a rock with an egg!”
The other soldiers nodded in agreement.
In their view, Gu Beilu's idea was indeed no different from a lunatic. He was simply courting death!
Seeing that Gu Beilu was the commander, the deputy general spoke rather politely. If it was someone else, they might have directly asked if Gu Beilu's head had been kicked by a donkey after hearing Gu Beilu's words.
Looking at the soldiers 'expressions, Gu Beilu could not help but frown.
He was now the commander, and he could indeed force these 800 soldiers to follow him to attack the Xiongnu camp.
However, doing so would inevitably lead to a lack of morale, and there might even be a mutiny among the soldiers.
Because the soldiers did not see any hope of victory, Gu Beilu's request was no different from asking them to die!
Actually, not to mention these 800 soldiers, even Gu Beilu himself was not confident about the 800 cavalry attacking the Xiongnu camp.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Beilu took a deep breath and said,""The quality of the soldiers is not in quantity. Moreover, it is precisely because they did not expect us to launch a surprise attack that the Xiongnu defenders will inevitably slack off.”
"But…"
The deputy general was sweating profusely and said,"General Huo, you might not know this, but the northwest is a dangerous place. It's a land of barbarians, and I'm afraid that our soldiers won't be able to use their full strength.”
"That's right, General Huo. We still need to think twice about attacking the Xiongnu's main city. The situation is not hopeless yet, so there's no need to take such a risky move.”
Some of the other high-ranking generals also began to persuade him.
"His Majesty once said that if Kou can go, I can go too!”
Gu Beilu's expression did not change, but his expression became extremely cold. His eyes swept across all the soldiers present, and he said in a clear voice,""Moreover, the art of war lies in one's heart. Why should we listen to the words of the ancients?!”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this!
If the enemy can go, I can go too!
The truth of war lies in one heart. Why should we listen to the words of the ancients?!
Hearing these two sentences, an indescribable feeling arose in everyone's hearts!
"We only have 800 cavalry and can't do much on the battlefield.!”
Immediately after, Gu Beilu turned his horse around and pulled the reins. He said without turning his head,""If you are afraid of those Xiongnu, then I will go alone!”
"Even if I die, I will die at the hands of the Xiongnu. I will kill as many Xiongnu as I can before I die. What is there to regret when a real man dies on the battlefield?”
