After Tuoba Wei led his troops to escape from Baiqushui, the Hu soldiers in Chengle and Wujin lost their support and were immediately surrounded by the Han army.
Yan Liang commanded the army to capture Wujin City in only half a day, and then the army killed Chengle directly. Cheng Le's 1,000 Hu soldiers were completely vulnerable in the face of troops several times their own.
The four cities south of Baiqushui were quickly recaptured by the Han army. Li Hong commanded the army to march north and stationed in the rain plain.
Within two days, he gathered more than 70,000 people from Yushi, Yan Liang, Yan Rou, Lou Lu, Pang De, Zhang He and other troops to launch a strong attack on the Xiongnu rebels on the other side of Baiqushui.
In order to prevent the Han army from crossing the river, Baima Tong deployed 60,000 troops on the north bank of Baiqushui. At this time, Xu Bu Qiyang, who had rushed to support from Wuyuan County, had already arrived in Yunzhong City with 30,000 iron cavalry, and the strength of the Hu coalition army near Yunzhong had reached about 100,000.
Bai Ma Tong was very excited after receiving reinforcements, and he said to the leaders of the various tribes, now we have 100,000 iron horsemen, plus the favorable terrain of two rivers and one city, it is definitely not a problem to hold on for a month, and we can completely block the army of leopards in the clouds.
On the south bank of the white canal water, sprinkle the rain plain. In the early morning, Li Hong stood on a small hill, looking at the battlefield in front of him and was silent.
The Han army had been crossing the river for three days in a row, but had not yet succeeded in occupying the opposite bank. Now there are three roads of men and horses in the direction of the rain plain to cross the river at the same time, Yushi's army is on the left, Zhang He's army is in the center, Yan Liang's army is on the right, and the three armies are separated by five miles in turn.
Yan Liang's army took on the main attack due to the small damage. Two days ago, Yan Liang commanded his soldiers to rush to the opposite bank several times, but each time they were driven back by the iron cavalry of the Huns without a firm foothold.
The lack of troops is the main reason why the current attack has been blocked. However, Li Hong had no way, in order to allow Xu Rong's army to successfully capture Jiuyuan and Yinshan Pass, and cut off the retreat of the Hu coalition army, he could only attack continuously at any cost to maintain the huge pressure on the Hu coalition army, so as to force the Xiongnu rebels in Wuyuan County to support Yunzhong.
But if this kind of fighting continues, the casualties of the Han army will become larger and larger, which will seriously affect the subsequent battles.
Have the Xiongnu rebels in Wuyuan County rushed to the clouds? Was Zhao Yun's raid successful? Did Xu Rong cross the river smoothly?
Li Hong looked up at the clear blue sky with a heavy heart, anxious.
"Zhong Yuan, Gongding, did you say that Zilong's iron cavalry has already taken Jiuyuan?" Li Wei said worriedly: "It's hard to say. According to the time calculation, he should indeed take Jiuyuan City, but if the main Xiongnu force of Jiuyuan City did not support Yunzhong, Zilong would not carry out the surprise attack. ”
"I think Zilong has taken Jiuyuan, and the army of Lord Xu and Lord Koji is crossing the river to the north." Zhu Mu said confidently,
"Now that we have hit the clouds, and the Hu people only have about a month left to support the rainy season, they can only do everything they can to keep us here, otherwise once the clouds fall, the Sulbu Bone Marquis will be finished. In order to achieve this goal, he will definitely send the main Xiongnu force of Jiuyuan City to support Baima Tong. Zhu Mu pointed ahead with the horsewhip in his hand, looked at Li Hong and said with a smile: "It is very likely that the reinforcements from Jiuyuan have arrived in Cloud City. Do you want to make a bet with me? Li Hong smiled, shook his hand and said, "I'm penniless, don't gamble, you and Zhong Yuan can gamble." ”
"I don't bet." Li Wei said,
"If the public guesses correctly, we can get the army to pause the attack."
"Now it's time to pause the attack." Zhu Mu hesitated for a moment and said to Li Hong,
"If Zilong has already captured Jiuyuan, Bai Ma Tong will soon receive news from the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, and he will immediately know that we don't have an army of more than 100,000 at all. At that time, it is possible that he will make a desperate gamble and counterattack us with superior forces. For him, as long as he defeats us and drives us back south of the Wall, he can achieve the same goal. If we are defeated, and the strategy of encircling the Hu coalition army will fail, and Lord Xu's army will be isolated and helpless as a result, and he will have no choice but to withdraw his army. ”
"My lord, Brother Gongding's concern is very reasonable." Li Wei followed Zhu Mu's words and said,
"We have been fighting for nearly a month, the army has suffered heavy losses, the soldiers are exhausted, and the superiority in strength has long been gone. If White Horse Copper concentrates all his forces on a major counterattack against us, it will be difficult for us to resist. Therefore, I believe that the army should withdraw from the battle and stick to the south bank of Baiqushui, firstly, to reduce casualties and preserve strength, and secondly, to allow the soldiers to have a proper rest, and at the same time to maintain the threat and deterrence of the Hu coalition army. Li Wei looked at the thoughtful Li Hong, and continued: "The effect of holding on to the south bank of Baiqushui and crossing the river to attack is actually the same, both can make the Hu coalition army feel great pressure, and the effect may be better if we suddenly do not attack." ”
"Your Excellency must take into account that our continuous attacks may not be able to lure out the Xiongnu iron cavalry in Jiuyuan, and it is possible that the Marquis of Xubu Gudu may give up resistance and lead the army to withdraw south of Yinshan." Zhu Mu said,
"If the battle situation evolves in this direction, Zilong's surprise attack will not be realized, and the armies of Lord Xu and Lord Koji will not be able to cross the river to the north, then it will be meaningless for us to attack like this at any cost." Li Hong looked at the two of them, shook his head and said, "Before we get the news that Lord Xu crossed the river to the north, the army must not stop attacking. That is, so far we have not reached the purpose of the attack. ”
"What if White Horse Copper got the news of Jiuyuan City before us, knowing that we were short of troops, and led the army to counterattack, and we were defeated?" Zhu Mu asked,
"How will the adults respond?"
"Fight, until you die in battle." Li Hong said resolutely,
"Bai Ma Tong will have to pay an astonishing price if he wants to defeat us, after the decisive battle, his army will definitely be dying, and by that time Xu Rong's tens of thousands of troops will still be able to wipe them all out." Li Wei and Zhu Mu looked at each other speechlessly.
"Chen Hao crossed the river." Li Hong suddenly shouted in surprise,
"Drumming, drumming and cheering......" Long arrows rained down on the river, the piercing roar was thrilling, and the roar of the ballista was even more deafening.
Two hundred huge black leather sacs carrying the assault soldiers quickly approached the opposite bank. Chen Hao held a shield in one hand and a battle axe in the other, and jumped from the huge leather bag into the half-human deep river.
"Go into the water, go into the water......" This is the third time Chen Hao rushed to the opposite bank today, he was naked, his sturdy body had two shocking wounds, and there was still half a broken arrow stuck in his back, and blood mixed with river sweat kept flowing down from him.
Hundreds of soldiers scrambled to jump into the river and rush to the beach. The river's beaches were littered with the remains of fallen Han soldiers, and blood stained the river red.
Chen Hao shouted loudly while stepping on the corpses of his comrades and rushing onto the embankment. The Huns swarmed in.
"Kill ......" Chen Hao opened his eyes angrily, and a shield smashed out, and the shield split and died immediately. Then he unleashed his tomahawk, slashed one with one axe, and kicked another with one leg.
"Brothers, kill in, kill into the enemy's ......" In an instant, the sound of killing rang out. Chen Hao was like a crazy bison, quickly rushing into the battle formation of the Huns, and the soldiers followed behind, fighting bravely.
Commander Wu Xiong rushed to the embankment with the second group of assault soldiers. This group of Han troops began to attack from the left and right flanks.
Wu Xiong took the lead and rushed forward, the spear in his hand flew up and down, and the blocker was invincible. He took thirty steps in one go, beheaded sixteen levels, and killed the Huns, who fled in all directions.
A thousand long Huns suddenly threw cold arrows from thirty paces away, and the long arrows roared fiercely, and fiercely nailed into Wu Xiong's iron helmet and went straight into the inch.
The sharp arrows pierced Wu Xiong's cheek in an instant, and blood overflowed. Wu Xiong howled in pain, and the anger in his heart suddenly exploded,
"Lao Tzu killed you......" He rushed towards the Qianchang, and all those who stood in his way were stabbed by him with a spear.
Seeing that he was not only not dead, but even more courageous, the Qianchang was also furious, and scolded him and killed him.
Wu Xiong took another thirty steps, killed eleven people, and then rose into the air, and stabbed the Xiongnu Qianchang with a spear.
"Go die...... that Hun Qianchang did not show weakness and raised his spear to stab directly, and there was a great tendency to die together. Wu Xiong was in the air, and his left hand formed a fist to meet the tip of the Hun thousand-long spear and smashed it hard.
"Kill ......" At the same time, a terrible howl rose to the sky, and the Hun Qianchang was nailed to the ground by Wu Xiong's spear.
The Huns were full of anger and roared to kill, and immediately surrounded Wu Xiong in the middle, vowing to cut him to death.
And Wu Xiong was even more red-eyed, he had long forgotten about life and death, and only cared about burying his head in a bloody battle. Seven spears were in front, five were behind, and twelve spears stabbed at Wu Xiong almost at the same time.
Wu Xiong knew that he was going to die, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Brothers, kill me...... Kill ......" crossbow arrows roared, and the seven Huns flew upside down; The spear roared, and five heads rose into the sky, and five spears fell to the ground at the same time along with five headless corpses.
Gao Shun suddenly appeared in front of Wu Xiong like a god,
"Let's go, let's go......" Wu Xiong rushed behind Gao Shun with an arrow step, and the two of them fought and retreated with their backs against their backs.
"Brother Ziping, you're so fast." Gao Shun picked up the Huns who rushed up with a shot, and said loudly: "Lord Yan has crossed the river to supervise the battle, and today we must advance five miles." ”
"Okay, don't die." Wu Xiong saw that his men had rushed up, and turned around and shouted,
"You left and I right, kill ......" Gao Shun's spear danced, and killed three more people,
"Brothers, keep the battle formation, follow me to kill, kill up......" Yan Liang stood on the embankment, looking at the Han soldiers who were gradually advancing, with a grim expression.
Every time the Han army crossed the river, it could advance one mile, but each time it advanced one mile, the Huns' iron cavalry would come out and slash and slash until the Han army was repulsed.
This time, Li Hong ordered him to block the iron cavalry of the Huns at all costs and to gain a foothold on the north bank of Baiqushui.
Yan Liang didn't say anything, he threw all the foot soldiers up. Success or failure is a matter of success. Then the king went ashore with his soldiers.
"Kuroko, you set up a formation five hundred steps away from the river embankment." Yan Liang pointed to the battlefield ahead and said,
"It's up to you whether you can stop the Huns' iron cavalry." Wang Dang pointed to the dense river crossing soldiers on the river surface and said, "Don't worry, my lord, with so many brothers supporting, you can definitely stop it." "The morning sun rises, and the sun shines brightly.
Pound led five thousand black leopards and rushed down from the north bank of the White Canal. Yesterday, on Li Hong's military order, he secretly left the rain plain with the black panther Yicong, and under the guidance of a guide, he marched 80 miles east along the river, wading across the river at a shallow and gentle place upstream of the Baiqu water.
After a night of rapid marching, the army finally arrived at the battlefield within the time specified by Li Hong. The black panther rushed out of the red morning sun like a ghost.
At this time, the iron cavalry of the Huns was attacking the Han army's foot soldiers, and their left flank was completely exposed to the attack of the black panther retinue.
Pang De led the army to roar and kill with overwhelming momentum, and the Huns were caught off guard and were killed so much that the ghosts cried wolf howls and suffered heavy casualties.
Yan Liang looked at the black panther battle flag fluttering in the distance, shook his head in disbelief, and he did not hesitate to order the whole army to attack immediately, cooperate with the iron cavalry to flank the Huns, and quickly move forward.
The Huns were quickly defeated by this heavy blow and fled from the battlefield in panic. The failure of the army on the left made Bai Ma Tong's strategy to hold on to Baiqushui completely failed, and he had no choice but to order the other two armies to withdraw to Cloud City.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Hong commanded a large army to cross the river, and the Han army approached Yunzhong City. Just when the Hu coalition army suffered defeats, Baima Tong received the news that the city of Jiuyuan had fallen, and the army of Xu Rong and Liyi had begun to cross the river to the north.
White Horse Copper was stunned.
"Where's Da Danyu?" He asked, pointing to the scout who had come to deliver the news,
"How could Jiuyuan City be lost? How did you lose it? ”
"The big order is in the high gate of Yin Mountain." The scout replied,
"How Jiuyuan City was lost, Da Danyu doesn't know."
"I don't know?" White Horse Bronze said angrily with wide eyes,
"He doesn't know how Jiuyuan City was lost? Isn't he in Nine Plains City? ”
"That day, a Han iron cavalry suddenly came outside the city of Jiuyuan......" The scout was very frightened when he saw the murderous appearance of the white horse copper, and hurriedly told the events of the past two days carefully, and finally he said,
"We still don't know where that Han iron cavalry came from." When Bai Ma Tong, Tuoba Wei, and Xu Kui heard that the troops left in Jiuyuan City and stationed in several cities along the river had all been wiped out, they were immediately frightened.
Wuyuan County has now fallen except for the Yinshan Pass, and the army has been surrounded by the Han army in the clouds.
