Chapter 282: The Great Han Battle Array
Yanmen County Zhiyin Pavilion City, at this time the Huns in the city are searching for the people who are hiding, and will drive them out one by one.
Yanmen is not far from Zhongshan, although the people in the city received the news, but they still have expectations for Gongsun Zan in their hearts, so they hesitated for a while, and when they learned that the Xiongnu army was approaching, it was too late to escape.
King Zuo Xian received a report from the spies and knew that there were tens of thousands of people in the city, so he ordered everyone to speed up, and while the people were panicking, they had besieged the city on all sides and occupied the city.
After entering the city, King Zuo Xian did not order the slaughter of the people as usual, because the army had enough food for a while.
And Yanmen is closer to Yizhou, leaving these people, King Zuoxian is still of great use.
Ordering the people to be driven out and imprisoned, King Zuo Xian sent hundreds of spies scattered in the direction of Zhongshan.
After arranging everything, King Zuo Xian sent people back to the Xiongnu tribe, passed back the military information of Bingzhou, and let Shan Yu start to move the clansmen.
Everything is developing in the direction of the budget, and King Zuo Xian is a lot more relieved, and the fatigue of continuous marching comes to his heart at this time.
So he occupied a mansion in the city, and King Zuo Xian prepared a beautiful rest, and instructed his guards to guard outside the door, and no one should disturb him if there was no major event.
Thirty miles outside the city of Yinguan City, a general led a large army in a hurry, and a clear banner showed that there were more than 20,000 people in this army.
And on a hillside hundreds of meters away, a Hun soldier showed his eyes, carefully counted the flags, and then quickly disappeared.
But not long after the Hun soldiers disappeared, a Han soldier in the distance quickly stood up and rushed towards the rushing army.
"Report! General Tai Shi Ci! Hun spies have been spotted ahead! ”
It turned out that this army was the Tai Shi Ci Department who came from Zhongshan.
Hearing that the Hun spies had been discovered, Tai Shici's eyes rolled a few times, a sneer appeared on his face, and he invited the deputy general to whisper, and waved his hand to let him leave.
The adjutant general got the order and hurriedly picked out 3,000 soldiers from the army and left to the rear.
Seeing the deputy general leaving, Tai Shici led the remaining army and continued to move forward, but the speed had slowed down a lot.
As soon as King Zuo Xian fell asleep in the city, he was woken up by a sharp knock on the door.
King Zuoxian, who was awakened, rubbed his slightly aching head, scolded and pushed away the Han woman beside him with blank eyes, and strode forward to open the door.
Opening the door, King Zuo Xian said dimly: "Didn't you confess?" If there is nothing important, don't disturb this king. ”
PS: The left and right virtuous kings of the Xiongnu are called Tu Qi.
Hearing that there was a hint of blame in his words, the guards hurriedly replied: "Lord Tu Qi, Tanma found 20,000 Han troops outside the city, and they are rushing here. ”
20,000 Han troops, Han troops?
"What!" King Zuo Xian exclaimed, and when he came to his senses, he saw a person standing next to the guard, and knew that this person must be a scout.
So he stepped forward and grabbed it, and quickly asked, "Can you look carefully, are you sure it's 20,000?" ”
The Hun soldier quickly replied: "Sure, the villain has carefully lit the flag, and it is indeed 20,000 true." ”
"That's cavalry? Or is it a pawn? ”
"Most of them are foot soldiers, and only a few generals are equipped with horses."
After a detailed inquiry, King Zuo Xian already had a rough idea in his heart, he had 20,000 iron horsemen, and he had 20,000 foot soldiers who didn't know about it, and a charge would definitely kill and wound more than half of him, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, and he would be completely annihilated.
Kill 20,000 Han troops, if the news comes back, the Han people will be frightened, and they will definitely not dare to send troops to come at that time, so that they can also stabilize the tribe and win time.
King Zuo Xian nodded slowly, and said to the guards: "Pass the order, leave more than 100 soldiers in the city to guard the Han people, and the rest of the soldiers will go to the south gate to wait, and follow the king out of the city to kill the Han army." ”
"Yes!" The guards got the order and hurried away.
Seeing this, King Zuo Xian turned around and entered the house, dressed himself, took off the knife on the wall, and wanted to go out.
After a few steps, he stopped suddenly, his eyes fell on the Han woman in the house, a sneer appeared on his face, he pulled out his beard knife and waved it casually, killing the Han woman.
King Zuo Xian looked at the blood on the knife and said to the dead Han woman: "Rest in peace, it is also your blessing to be able to sacrifice the knife for this king, and when this king comes back, he will let people bury you well." ”
Putting away his sword, King Zuo Xian strode out of the room and hurried towards the south door.
The military situation was urgent, King Zuo Xian came to the south gate, saw that the army had been assembled, and did not say much, and gave an order, and led the army to run out of the city.
The news from the spies on both sides came back one after another, which also indicated that the big war was coming.
Hearing the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, heard from far and near, Tai Shici ordered the soldiers to form a formation and slowly retreat backwards.
When King Zuo Xian learned that the Han army had suddenly retreated, he was even more happy in his heart, as if he had seen the scene of the rout of the Han army, and excitedly ordered to speed up.
After rushing for more than ten minutes, the Hun army had caught up with Tai Shi Ci's department.
Seeing that the Han army did not panic, but retreated backwards in formation, King Zuo Xian sneered in his heart, and secretly said that even if it is a bronze wall and iron formation today, he will lead the army to level it.
With a wave of the knife in his hand, King Zuo Xian shouted: "Sons! Let the Han people re-see the iron cavalry of our Huns,! Flatten them! ”
"Whoa......"
When the Huns heard the order, they roared like wild beasts and rushed towards the retreating Han army.
Seeing the Huns rushing towards him, Tai Shici was expressionless and shouted loudly: "Archers, aim at the dense crowd of the Huns, launch a round of arrow rain, and retreat." ”
Hearing the order, the archers on standby hurriedly drew their bows and shot arrows, sending out a rain of arrows.
"簌簌簌........."
The rain of arrows fell on the dense crowd, and for a while countless Hun soldiers fell from their horses.
And the Hun soldiers who fell off their horses didn't even have time to scream, and they were trampled into pulp by the war horses that followed behind them.
Seeing this scene, the Hun soldiers did not flinch, because they had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to rush to the Han army and trample it into flesh, so they held their breath and urged their horses to gallop.
Tai Shi Ci looked at his eyes, waved his big hand and said: "Leave five hundred shield soldiers and five hundred pikemen, and they will retreat backwards!" ”
Hearing the order, the army automatically divided into two columns, most of them retreated back, and the soldiers who remained automatically gathered behind Tai Shici.
Looking at the Hun soldiers who had rushed not far away, Tai Shici then ordered: "The shield soldiers are in front, and the pikemen are in the back, and the generals will be lined up in a line to block the Huns!" ”
Under an order, the shield soldiers lined up in a row, erected shields to form an iron wall more than one meter high, and the pikemen held spears and set up shields, describing a line of separation to block the rushing Hun army.
Everything was discovered too quickly, and when the Huns saw the iron wall formed in front of them, they didn't have time to rein in their horses, so they could only crash into it and be stabbed to death by random guns.
The Xiongnu horses were too fast, and after the tragic death of hundreds of soldiers, they stabilized their bodies and prepared to bypass the iron wall and besiege these Han troops.
Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci shouted with a sneer: "Change the formation, form a circle formation, and slowly retreat backwards!" ”
Hearing the order, the army quickly put away the zigzag, quickly formed a circle, and slowly retreated back.
