Li Guang's fortune-telling story

Wang Changling, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote an eternal famous sentence: "Only make the Dragon City fly, don't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain." "Flying" refers to Li Guang. So, some people will ask, who is Li Guang? Why do you want to call him General Fei? Who named this image? Today, I will tell you the story of flying general Li Guang:

During the Han Dynasty, from Emperor Wendi to Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, border wars continued, so countless celebrities emerged. As one of them, Li Guang became the most dazzling general star with his unique experience and peerless martial arts. And his ending is sighing and tragic.

Li Guang was born in a military commander's family, and his ancestor Li Xin was the general of Qin after Jing Ke failed to stab the king of Qin, who ordered him to lead troops to pursue Yan Taizi Dan until Liaodong. The Li family have been generals for generations, and they are very experienced in dispatching troops. Moreover, the Li family also has a set of archery, which is a magic weapon to win on the battlefield. They often rely on the art of magic arrows to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory at critical moments.

In BC 140, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne and transferred Li Guang, who had been guarding the border for a long time, back to the imperial court as Weiyangwei. By this time, Li Guang was already a world-famous star. A few years later, Li Guang, unwilling to covet ease, begged Emperor Wu to lead an army out of Yanmenguan. Battle-hardened Li Guang was surrounded by the Xiongnu Army this time because information was not allowed to be ambushed by the enemy. Li Guang himself was injured in the war. Xiongnu Khan heard about Li Guang's reputation for a long time and ordered his men to be captured alive. Due to the injury, Li Guang was finally captured by the rebels.

The Huns made a temporary stretcher out of a bag between two horses, put Li Guang on it and took him as a hostage. After walking more than ten miles, Li Guang jumped onto his horse, pushed down the enemy soldiers, galloped south with a bow as a whip, and fled back to the stronghold. Due to the heavy losses of this expedition, Li Guang was dismissed from his military post and demoted to Shu Ren, but he won the reputation of "Flying General" in the Xiongnu army.

Li Guang spent only a few years in his life at leisure. Soon, the frontier fortress broke out again, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty revived Li Guang and worshipped him as the magistrate of Right Beiping. Since then, he has embarked on the journey of defending his country from the quiet farm life in Lantian Mountain.

Wang Boqian led ten thousand cavalry to Xiongnu, while General Li Guang only led four thousand cavalry from right Beiping as the doctor's subordinate. Li Guang's son Li Gan also set out with the army. Li Guangjun marched hundreds of miles in the territory of Xiongnu and was suddenly surrounded by 40,000 cavalry left by Xiongnu.

Tarquin came to Li Guangjun from all directions, and the arrows rained down at one time; The soldiers fell off their horses one after another, and the troops immediately became a mess. Li Guang made a decisive decision and ordered his beloved son Li Gan to lead dozens of cavalry in battle. Li Gan took the lead, fought our way out, rushed out of the enemy lines, and then just visible from the flank to kill back. Li Guang took Li Gan, who was covered in blood, and shouted to the soldiers: "Don't be afraid, Xiongnu soldiers are very lax!" As a result, the flustered morale gradually settled down.

Seeing that the morale of the men was set, Li Guang took the opportunity to gather scattered troops. He contracted the defensive front, surrounded the trench car, and deployed crossbowmen based on the cart to form a solid circular array. Tarquin's several attacks were repelled by the arrows of the Han army arranged by Li Guang, but the enemy cavalry still flooded in. At this point, Li Guang's army has killed more than half, and the arrows are almost finished. Li Guang ordered the soldiers not to send bows. He personally picked up the most powerful rhubarb crossbow. This kind of rhubarb crossbow is a ten-stone crossbow. It takes 600 Jin to open the bow and has a range of 400 meters. The crossbow body is much longer than ordinary crossbows.

Tarquin saw that the Han army stopped shooting and immediately regrouped, waiting for the final attack order. There was silence on the ground, and everyone's ears were only the whirring of the wind pulling the flag. Occasionally, there was a burst of neighing in front, and the final war was coming. Even the battle-hardened veterans of the two armies were scared to death, but Li Guang calmly picked out a few sharp iron arrows from the quiver and held them in his hand. Tarquin was about to attack when Li Guang's rhubarb crossbow "om" and an arrow went through his chest.

As soon as an arrow came out, another arrow was fired, and a few arrows swished, and the Xiongnu front team fell in succession. Such a powerful crossbow and superb archery shocked the Xiongnu army, and the attacking team suddenly dispersed. After this battle, General Li Guangfei's reputation spread among the two armies. From then on, there was no one in the Han army and Xiongnu who did not admire Li Guang's courage.
