", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Chapter 10 Wind and rain like obscurity Sixth section early May, Yunzhong County.

There are two major rivers in the middle of Yunzhong County, the south is the white canal water, the north is the barren dry water, these two big rivers are east-west, almost parallel columns, and finally flow into the Shaling Lake, and then enter the Yellow River from the Shaling Lake.

The two rivers are only about 50 miles apart from each other within about 200 li before they flow into Shaling Lake.

Between the two rivers from west to east are the three cities of Yunzhong, Yuanyang and Dingxiang. To the south of Baiqushui, from west to east, are the three cities of Shaling, Chengle and Wujin.

The Hu coalition gathered about 60,000 men and set up the first line of defense along the southern bank of the Baiqu River. The white horse copper rate of 20,000 iron horsemen was in the center, stationed in the rain field.

Twenty miles to the north is the city in the clouds, and sixty miles to the south is the painted plain of the Han army.

Tuoba Wei and Muluo Che led 20,000 troops on the left flank, holding the two cities of Chengle and Wujin. Xu Kui and Tilu led 20,000 troops on the right flank, relying on Shaling City for defense.

After the Han army entered Yunzhong County, due to the absolute disadvantage of the Hu coalition army in numbers, they had to give up the field characteristics of flexible and mobile iron cavalry and change to passive defense.

Bai Ma Tong contacted Tuoba Wei and Xu Kui several times and warned the two not to go out easily, so as not to be surrounded and annihilated by the Han army.

He asked the iron cavalry of all departments to cooperate with each other, support each other, and hold the city as much as possible to delay the advance of the Han army.

Bai Ma Tong said, "After the iron cavalry supported from Wuyuan arrives, we will look for a good opportunity to kill the Han army with local superior forces."

Li Hong, the general of the expedition to the north, led his troops to camp in Huaqingyuan. Two days later, Li Wei and Tian Zhong led the soldiers in the Cao camp and more than 100,000 people to escort grain, grass and baggage into the camp.

Li Hong then issued an attack order to all armies. Li Hong and Yan Rou led an army to attack the Rainfall Plain, directly threatening Cloud City.

White Horse Bronze led the troops to meet the battle. 40,000 iron horsemen on both sides began a desperate struggle on the ten-mile-long grassland. On the rain plain, the war drums were like thunder, the horns sounded, the horses galloped, and the sound of killing soared into the sky.

Yan Wudaunt led six thousand iron horsemen to take the lead in attacking the Huns' Chinese army in a conical array. In the huge roar, the Han army was like a sharp giant arrow, roaring all the way, and fiercely plunged into the arc-shaped array of the Huns.

When the iron cavalry reached the bottom of the arc, it was immediately met with a stubborn resistance from the Huns, and then the Hun cavalry on both wings swarmed up, intending to encircle Yan's fearless iron cavalry.

Yan Rou immediately issued an order to attack the cavalry on both wings. Nie Xiao and Li Su immediately led a battalion of men and horses, and killed the left and right flanks of the Huns with the momentum of the river bursting the embankment.

"Order Yan Wudaunt, speed up the attack, tear through the enemy's defenses, and crush the Huns." Yan fearless took the lead, the long knife flew, brave and invincible, invincible,

"Brothers, kill ...... Kill me in......" The soldiers who followed behind shouted loudly and forgot to die, and bravely rushed forward, and the speed of the Han army's attack suddenly accelerated.

Long arrows rained down, the piercing whistling sound was thrilling, and the high-speed galloping war horses flew out one after another.

The knights on the horses fell, and they were trampled away by countless hooves, and some did not even have time to howl.

The horse that commanded the iron cavalry to run and kill on the flank of the large array had just chopped the enemy under the horse with a knife, and his war horse flew out of the air.

His horse was pierced through the chest and abdomen by the enemy's spear, and the terrible neighing was terrifying. The slashing horse was thrown into the air involuntarily.

A Hun horseman galloped towards him. With all his strength, he twisted his body in the air to dodge the enemy's spear, but he was unable to dodge the impact of the enemy's horse.

He watched as his rapidly falling body was slammed into the air by the enemy's warhorse, and then he clearly heard the sound of his own bones shattering, saw his own blood spurting out, and felt the heart-rending pain.

Then he lost consciousness. Before he died, he saw his body tumbling in the air once again being knocked out by the enemy's warhorse.

The left and right flanks of the Huns successfully blocked the rush of Nie Xiao and Li Su, and they completed the encirclement when Yan Wuxing was about to break the formation, and the Han iron cavalry was immediately attacked by the Huns, and the cone-shaped array was instantly killed by the enemy cavalry and was on the verge of collapse.

Yan Wuxing was covered in blood and rushed around like a madman,

"Brothers, keep going...... Break through the enemy ...... Kill out, kill out......" White Horse Copper was very excited.

At this time, as long as you attack again and completely kill the Han army surrounded in the middle of the battlefield, the battle will be won.

He excitedly waved his horsewhip and shouted: "Blow the trumpet, order the Chinese army to counterattack and completely kill the besieged Han army." Yan Rou was furious, and personally led people to rush to Nie Xiao's left flank army, and the overseers attacked wildly.

"Tear open the right flank of the Huns, kill it, and rescue the besieged brothers." Li Hong raised his spear.

The drums of war rang out, and the earth was shattered in an instant. Zhang Zhen and the two thousand Chinese army guards let out an earth-shattering roar.

Li Hong kicked the horse's belly violently, and the black panther suddenly rose into the air with a long neigh.

......Under the leadership of Li Hong, they swept into the tragic battlefield like a hurricane of shouts, and entered the encirclement in one fell swoop.

The Huns could not resist and retreated. When Yan Wuxing and the soldiers saw the black panther battle flag flying high, they suddenly had endless fighting spirit, and they all mustered up their spare strength to fight again.

At dusk, the Han army withdrew from the rain field, and 6,000 soldiers were buried here. Li Hong stood on the edge of the rain field, looking back at the Huns in the sunset in the distance, murderous,

"Fight again tomorrow." Yan Liang led the army to attack Chengle, and Zhang He led his troops to attack Wujin. The two cities were sixty miles apart.

Tuoba Wei, who was in the center, received a request for help from the two cities at the same time, and he discussed it with Muluoche. Tuoba Wei believed that the Han army attacked the two cities at the same time, apparently with the intention of inducing himself to divide his forces to support, and then encircle and annihilate them with superior forces.

Chengle was only thirty miles away from the Han army's camp, and once the army was surrounded by the Han army, it would be difficult to break through. Now that their own forces are insufficient, defending the city is only a delaying strategy, and it cannot stop the continuous attacks of the Han army.

If you want to keep the rainy season coming, the key is to have an army. One more city actually wouldn't solve any problems, but one more thousand iron cavalry would make a big difference, so he decided to give up Chengle and concentrate all his forces to support Wujin.

Tuoba said that if reinforcements from Wuyuan can arrive quickly, the passivity on the battlefield will be greatly improved, and we may even defeat the Han army.

If the Han army is defeated, this city will not be easily taken back as in the past. Mu Luoche agreed with Tuoba's suggestion.

He said that Chengle is just a small city, and it doesn't matter if you lose it. To stop the attack of the Han army, it is mainly to rely on Yunzhong City, relying on Baiqu water and Huanggan water, it is really not possible, we can still retreat to Wuyuan, retreat to Yinshan, there is no need to fight with the Han army here.

He was very dissatisfied with the offensive and defensive strategy of White Horse Copper,

"White Horse Bronze is arrogant, he thinks that his army of slaughtering all tribes is invincible, and he looks down on the cavalry of the leopard at all. I think he's an idiot, and if we continue to fight like this, we will all be killed by him sooner or later. Tuoba Wei said worriedly: "Da Danghu and I think the same. If we retreat to Wuyuan, thousands of miles away from Yanmen, the Han army's grain and grass will definitely be difficult to supply in time, and their attack speed will immediately slow down. In this way, we will not only be able to easily block the attacks of the Han Chinese, but we will also be able to defeat them. If the fight continues as it is now, the prospects are indeed not good. ”

"He is the Right Virtuous King, he has the final say here, and we have no part to speak." Mu Luoche scolded angrily,

"Hmph, he treats us as a bad thing, and we treat him like shit. He beats him, and we fight ours. The two of them led a large army to the southeast direction of Wujin City to help.

Tuoba Wei's movements surprised the Han army. It turned out that the Han army did intend to attack Tuoba in Chengle.

In order to lure the main Xiongnu forces of Wuyuan County into the clouds, and firmly contain them in the clouds, so that they could not return to help, so as to give Xu Rong enough time to capture Jiuyuan and Yinshan Pass, the Han army had to take advantage of the Xiongnu reinforcements before they arrived in the clouds, and severely damaged the Hu coalition army in order to maintain the superiority in strength and launch continuous attacks.

After Li Hong determined the deployment of the Hu coalition army, he focused his attack on the left flank of the Hu coalition army, that is, Tuoba Wei's 20,000 iron cavalry.

Li Hong and Yan Rou took 20,000 iron cavalry to attack the rain plain, one was to contain the forces of Baima Tong, and the other was to give Tuoba Wei an illusion, making him mistakenly think that the main attack direction of the Han army was the rain plain, which was the city in the clouds, and his left and right flank armies attacked the three cities of Shaling, Chengle and Wujin just to contain the forces of the two wings of the Hu coalition army.

Li Hong believed that after the defenders of Chengle and Wujin were attacked, they would definitely ask Tuoba for help, and Tuoba Wei had only two choices at that time, either to divide his troops to rescue, or to only help one city.

The danger of dividing troops to rescue is too great, and Tuoba will definitely only help one city, but which one will Tuoba save will he save?

Li Hong thinks it's Cheng Le. Considering that the main force of the Han army has gone north to attack Baima Tong, and after the fall of Lecheng, the right wing of the Han army will be unhindered and can directly kill the rain plain, Tuoba will definitely rescue Chengle.

In order to convince Tuoba Wei that there was no danger in rescuing Chengle, Li Hong deliberately took away the Karasuma Iron Cavalry at the foot of Loulu, and asked Zhang He to attack Wujin with only 5,000 tiger camps.

It is difficult to attack Wujin with 5,000 people, so Tuoba Wei naturally does not need to be rescued. In order to recreate Tuoba's 20,000 iron cavalry, Li Hong invested all the infantry of Yan Liang's army, the two chariot battalions of Zhang Xiao and Ding Bo, and the 10,000 Karasuma iron cavalry at Loulu who secretly returned halfway, a total of 32,000 people.

After Yan Liang got the news, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered all the siege troops to withdraw and hurried to Wujin City.

Sixty miles away, you can arrive in two hours, but whether you can successfully surround Tuoba Curtain depends on whether Zhang He's 5,000 people can hold on to Wujin City for two hours.

At the same time, Yan Liang ordered Lou Lu to lead the iron cavalry to quietly approach Wujin City from the east and west directions. Yan Liang said, if I don't go to Wujin City, you can't arrive, even if Zhang He's whole army is annihilated, you don't want to support, so as not to scare Tuoba away away.

Lou Lu asked, what if Zhang He couldn't hold out for two hours, and Tuoba retreated after annihilating him?

Yan Liang said, then we will surround him halfway, and we must beat him hard and flee. After Zhang He arrived in Wujin City, he did not besiege the city, but concentrated 5,000 men and horses at the west gate to attack.

Although his task is only to respond to the battlefield of Chengle, if Yan Liang surrounds Tuoba Curtain, he will have to return to Chengle in time.

There were only 32,000 Han troops on the battlefield of Chengle, which was not enough to inflict heavy damage on Tuoba Curtain, and his 5,000 men and horses had to rush back as quickly as possible.

In order to quickly assemble reinforcements, Zhang He concentrated all his troops under the Xicheng Gate. This decision of his saved the Tiger Ben battalion.

Tuoba and Muluo Che came over with 20,000 iron horsemen. The 5,000 Han army will be completely annihilated no matter what, and the morale of the army will be boosted.

After receiving the report from the scouts, Zhang He immediately organized the Huben battalion to withdraw to a small hill 500 steps away from the West City Gate, and the soldiers launched a stubborn resistance under the command of Zhang He according to the favorable terrain.

Chen Jian Chen Haozi held on to a small hill with a group of men and horses, he was knocked down by the enemy dozens of times, but he led people to take it back every time.

After the battle, all the dead bodies on the hill were stained red with blood, and the soldiers stood on the densely stacked corpses and fought fiercely.

Chang Gong brought 300 of the strongest soldiers to support, and everyone fought more and more bravely, but the fewer people fought.

When he retreated from the hill that Chen Haozi was holding onto, he said to Chen Haozi with a smile, "This battle is our last battle."

If I die, you bring my bones back to Changshan. If we all die, then forget it, bury where we die.

Chen Haozi laughed and said, Who said we would die? I haven't married my own children, how can I die? Zhang He was wounded, he was poked by the enemy's spear, and if it weren't for the fast grabbing of the soldiers around him, he would have been trampled alive by the enemy's war horse.

Zhang He stood on the top of the hill with a spear, looked at the Xianbei and Huns who were swarming around him, and scolded hatefully.

Then he looked up at the sunset that was gradually setting in the west, and a smile appeared on his face. Reinforcements are coming.

"Drumming...... Tell your brothers, swear to kill the enemy to the death, and never retreat......" Tuoba suddenly woke up after receiving the scout's report,

"Fooled, quickly, quickly retreat, retreat to the east......" The 10,000 iron horsemen at the foot of the building took the lead in surrounding it from the east and west.

Exhausted from the long battle, the army of Tuoba was struck hard by the murderous Karasuma people, and immediately turned around and retreated north.

Yan Liang in the north had already led the infantry to line up the phalanx, and the Hu coalition army was relieved to see that it was the panting Han infantry that blocked them.

It was much easier to get out of the Han army's foot soldiers than from the Karasuma Iron Cavalry. However, as soon as they approached the phalanx, they were subjected to frenzied fire from 600 ballistas, and thousands of Xianbei and Huns lost their lives in the blink of an eye.

Tuoba Wei once again witnessed the terrifying weapons of the Han people, and he was so frightened that he turned his horse's head and galloped south.

To the south is a high mountain, and the more you run, the more you can't get there. Lou Lu led the iron cavalry to chase after him, and Yan Liang supervised the army from behind, and chased for more than ten miles before collecting the troops.

Tuoba Wei crossed the Baiqu River with the remnants overnight and fled back to Cloud City. In this battle, 8,000 were beheaded, and the Hu coalition army of Tuoba was severely damaged.

The Han army lost more than 3,200 people, mainly soldiers of the Huben battalion. Jade led an army to attack Shaling City.

Jade's attack went very well, and he took Shaling City without a single soldier. Jade led the army to attack all the way, and in just a few days, several cities were captured, and its strong combat effectiveness made the Hu coalition army frightened and panicked.

And the crossing of Xu Rong's army added to their fears. On the shore of Shaling Lake, the world-famous Black Panther Yicong attacked the 20,000 troops of the Hu coalition army with 6,000 men, which made Xu Kui and Tilu have the intention of retreating from Baiqushui early.

Xu Kui didn't want to fight at all, and used 20,000 people to resist the Han army's more than 80,000 people, which was purely self-defeating. He thinks that Baima Tong is arranging such a formation because he wants to harm himself, and he wants to avenge the tragic death of Dusk Gaiting during the Western Xinjiang War.

He said to Tilu that Baima Tong had ill intentions, what ability did he have to block the unstoppable attack of the Han army south of Baiqushui?

I'm going back to Jiuyuan City and ask the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, what does he mean by white horse copper? Do you want to completely wipe out my Dongqiang clan?

I'm not going to fight this battle. Tilu knew that Xu Kui was very cunning, it wasn't that he didn't want to fight, he was just making an excuse for himself to preserve his strength.

However, he didn't want to fight himself. Such a face-to-face decisive battle with the Han army, not to mention that it will last until the rainy season in June, even this month will not be able to hold out.

Half of Jade's troops have been lost, and it is very difficult to keep the battalion of the 80,000 army, not to mention attacking at this time.

If the impersonation scheme is exposed, and Xu Kui brings people to rush over, these tens of thousands of people will be in great trouble, and there will be countless casualties.

In order to ensure the safety of the camp, he only walked five miles a day, and asked Pang De to abandon Shen and let the three of them each take iron horses to cruise ten miles away from the camp, in case the camp was attacked by Xu Kui during the movement.

In Xu Kui's view, this move of the Han army was to lure the enemy and delay his retreat to the clouds, and he estimated that the Han army was about to make a big attack.

He categorically decided to retreat, and even the thousand defenders of Shaling City were taken away by him. If Xu Rong's 80,000 people fight with all their strength, don't say that they will resist, they can't escape even if they want to, so it is better to withdraw from Baiqushui first.

Jade picked a big bargain, and regained a city without bloodshed. In the battle of Sprinkle Rain, although Baima Copper repelled the Han army's iron cavalry, but his own damage was serious, he still wanted to hold on to the south of Baiqushui for a few more days, but he successively received the news that his left and right wings of the army were defeated and fled to Yunzhong City, especially the defeat of Tuoba Curtain and the news of the death of Dadanghu Muluo Che made him angry.

If it does not hold out in the clouds until the end of May, it will be even more difficult for the army to hold out until the rainy season.

After the army withdrew from Yunzhong, there was no danger to defend on the five-hundred-mile prairie, and if it wanted to retreat, it was five hundred miles and directly retreated to Wuyuan.

In this way, after the Han army chased after them, they had enough time to accumulate strength. As long as the Han army was replenished with food, grass and ordnance in time, they could launch an attack at any time, and at the same time, Yu Fuluo could also organize the army to cross the river and attack.

It is difficult for the Hu coalition army to hold Wuyuan County under the attack from both sides, and then it can only retreat to the Yinshan Pass, and the defeat is a matter of time.

White Horse Copper is very helpless. At this time, his left and right flanks lost protection, and he could only retreat across the white canal water and stick to Cloud City.
