Or search on Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Chapter 10 Stormy and Obscure, Section 3, Zhao Yun and Liu Ming galloped for eighty miles with six thousand iron horses, and quietly surrounded Xi'anyang at dawn.

The north gate of Xi'anyang opened as promised, and Liu Ming rushed in with two thousand horsemen, quickly occupying the four city gates.

Zhao Yun and Lu Xian led their men and horses, and then killed them. The 2,000 defenders in the city were caught off guard and were bloodily slaughtered by the Han army.

Half an hour later, Xi'anyang was controlled by the Han army. Liu Ming took Mustafa to meet Zhao Yun. Mustafa was about twenty years old, tall, heroic, with a restrained demeanor, with deep vigilance in his eyes, and not many words.

He was very surprised to hear that it was Zhao Yun who was standing opposite him. Zhao Yun, who is famous in the frontier, is such a handsome, elegant, gentle and humble young man?

Zhao Yun said a few words of gratitude, then took Mustafa's hand and said: "You have made great contributions to our recovery of the northern border counties by sacrificing Xi'anyang, and my Emperor of the Han Dynasty and your Da Shan Yu will reward you heavily." Mustafa smiled faintly, bowed down and said, "I'm just here for revenge." Zhao Yun looked at Liu Ming who was standing on the side, and sighed: "You will get what you want." Then he pointed to the map and said, "Do you have any good ways to help us take Jiuyuan City as quickly as possible?" Mustafa hesitated and did not speak.

Zhao Yun smiled: "You are Brother Qiansi's brother, that is, my brother, I believe in you." He pointed to the city of Heyin on the map and said,

"Lord Xu's tens of thousands of troops have been secretly stationed in Heyin and Yudaiyuan, and they will cross the river to the north to attack Jiuyuan and occupy the Yinshan Pass, so as to complete the encirclement of the Hu coalition army. The purpose of my long-distance attack on Jiuyuan City was to clear all obstacles for Lord Xu's tens of thousands of troops to cross the river to the north. Now, I urgently need your help to conquer Jiuyuan City. Mustafa did not expect that Zhao Yun had told him about the Han army's attack plan without concealment, and he was shocked by the Han army's attack strategy on the one hand, and moved by Zhao Yun's trust on the other.

He asked with a little excitement: "General Xu's tens of thousands of troops are on the other side?" Zhao Yun said: "Yes, it is estimated that the general will soon start a full-scale attack in the clouds." As long as the general can firmly drag the main force of the Hu coalition army in the clouds, General Xu can quickly cross the river and quickly seize the Yinshan Pass. However, the premise of General Xu's rapid crossing of the river is that we must take Jiuyuan, otherwise the army will not only be blocked from crossing the river, but it will also be difficult to complete the seizure of the Yinshan Pass. Mustafa nodded, "It is indeed unexpected that the Lord led his troops to suddenly kill from the Bowstring Desert. But if Jiuyuan were to be stormed, the casualties would be very large, and once the attack was blocked, it would be difficult for General Xu's army to cross the river north smoothly and quickly. He pointed to the Nine Plains City on the map and said, "It's too difficult to defeat the Nine Plains. It is now the Shan Yuting of the Marquis of the Sulbu Gudu, and the elite iron cavalry of the right tribe is densely scattered outside the city, and it is difficult for us to approach Jiuyuan City quietly. Zhao Yun and Liu Ming lay on the map and looked at it for a long time.

Zhao Yun frowned, and said slowly: "If we fight with the other party before we arrive in Jiuyuan City, the surprise attack plan will be exposed, and our journey for this month will be in vain." Since we can't get in, then we'll lure out the iron cavalry stationed in Jiuyuan City, what do you think? ”

"Lured out? We first lured out half of the troops in Jiuyuan City, and then annihilated them while they were unprepared. Liu Jing pondered,

"If we can kill half of them first, and then attack Jiuyuan City, then we have a great chance of capturing Jiuyuan." Mustafa smiled bitterly: "How to lure them out?" Unless General Xu launched a river-crossing attack, it would be impossible for them to leave Jiuyuan City. But now if General Xu launches a river-crossing attack, the losses will inevitably be very large. ”

"Let's take Chengyi immediately and let General Xu cross the river from the direction of Yudaiyuan." Zhao Yun pointed to the map and said, "You see, the feather belt was originally located on the opposite bank of the Yellow River between the cities of Chengyi and Yiliang. We will first capture Chengyi, and then attack Yiliang, and firmly control the forty miles of the Yellow River, so that General Xu's army can cross the river safely. We attacked Yiliang, General Xu led his troops to cross the river, the momentum was very great, and the Marquis of Xubu Gudu knew that he would definitely send troops from the three cities of Wuyuan, Jiuyuan, and Linwo to attack us, so that our opportunity came. ”

"Chengyi is forty miles away from Xi'anyang, Yiliang is eighty miles away from Xi'anyang, and the three cities of Wuyuan, Jiuyuan, and Linwo are only fifty or sixty miles away from Yiliang." Zhao Yun looked at Mustafa and said,

"We must take Chengyi quietly, otherwise, the reinforcements of Wuyuan, Jiuyuan and Yiliang will arrive immediately, and our whereabouts will be exposed, not to mention the matter of crossing the river." Mustafa smiled: "Don't worry, with my face, it is not a trivial matter to open the city gate. "Dusk, Chengyi.

Mustafa was covered in blood and ran wildly with a squad of remnants. In the distance, dust was flying, and thousands of iron horsemen were overwhelmingly slaughtered like a stormy wave.

The horn of the alarm suddenly sounded over Chengyi. Mustafa ran to the city with a few hundred remnants of his army and shouted and ordered the defenders of the city to open the gates immediately.

The Xiongnu Qianchang Dian Ji, who was stationed at the west gate of Chengyi, saw that it was Mustafa who was fleeing, and immediately ordered the drawbridge to be lowered and the city gate opened.

Mustafa rushed into the city first.

"Did the Han people cross the river?" Dian Ji greeted Mustafa and asked anxiously,

"Has Xi'anyang been lost?" Mustafa held a bloody sword in his hand and shouted angrily: "Liu Bao, it was Liu Bao who killed him." Go and tell Danghu that the Han people are going to cross the river, ...... quickly" Dian Ji turned around and ordered his subordinates to quickly inform Danghu Chunle, and before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud roar from the back of his head.

Dian Ji's men widened their eyes in fear, and watched Dian Ji's head rise into the sky, Dian Ji's mouth was still opening and closing rapidly, and the blood sprayed his head and face in an instant, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.

Mustafa roared: "Cut the sling, capture the city gate, quickly, quickly, quickly......" Liu Ming, who followed behind, swept towards the city with a team of men and horses.

Outside the city, Zhao Yun galloped with a large group of men and horses, and the Han army's iron cavalry was like a wolf and a tiger, swarming in and killing wantonly.

Du Lieutenant Lu Xian and Zongliu each led 1,000 men and horses to gallop along the moat, intercepting and killing the Hun cavalry who fled from the city.

The bloody battle lasted for more than an hour, and 2,000 enemy soldiers were finally cut down. Originally, there were still hundreds of prisoners, but Liu Ming, Mustafa, and many of the original Xiongnu soldiers in the Changshui battalion seemed to be very hostile to these soldiers of the Xiongnu right tribe, and they killed all these captives, and the blood flowed on the long street, which was unbearable.

Liu Ming's battalion recaptured Chengyi at the cost of losing 800 men. Dawn, Yiliang. The successful capture of Chengyi greatly encouraged the confidence of the officers and men of the Han army.

Zhao Yun immediately decided to take advantage of the victory to attack Yiliang again. If Yiliang can be occupied, the Han army will be able to rely on the strong city to resist the fierce counterattack of the Xiongnu army, and it will be able to buy more time for more Han troops to cross the river to support, and it is also possible to lure more Xiongnu iron cavalry away from Jiuyuan City.

Now Zhao Yun only has Liu Ming's battalion in his hands. Jiang Wu and Shoot Yingtong's two battalions of iron cavalry were still hiding in Poplar Lake, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Jiuyuan City.

Zhao Yun said to Mustafa, "It is obviously difficult for us to use this battalion of men and horses to attack Yiliang and block the Xiongnu iron cavalry in the field at the same time, and it is obviously difficult to achieve the intended goal.

If the army of the Marquis of Subu Gudu attacks fiercely, we may be wiped out, so it is best to take Yiliang first.

Mustafa smiled bitterly and said, This fraudulent opening of the city gate can not be repeated, and you and I cannot guarantee that the news that Cheng Yi has lost has not leaked out.

Zhao Yun smiled: "It's okay. If the Huns in Yiliang see through this plan, we will besiege the city. I'm worried about your safety. "Liu Ming's battalion is basically a soldier from the Changshui camp in the past, and there are many Hun soldiers.

Mustafa and Liu Ming fled smoothly into Yiliang City at dawn with hundreds of scarred Huns, and then successfully occupied the West City Gate, but the ensuing street battles were very unsmooth.

Garrisoned in Yiliang was the famous Xiongnu warrior Danghu Hezhong, who led nearly a thousand soldiers to fight back frantically, intending to retake the city or hold on to help.

It is only fifty or sixty miles from Yiliang to the three cities of Wuyuan, Jiuyuan and Linwo, and if you can hold it until dusk, the reinforcements will climb and crawl.

The Xiongnu defenders of Yiliang City fought a bloody battle with the Han army under the supervision of officers at all levels, and every street and alley and every house became a bloody battlefield.

Du Wei Zongliu and a group of guards rushed very fiercely, and once killed in front of the palace, but he was unfortunately shot by a long arrow and died on the spot.

The Han army suffered a demoralization and retreated. A military commander oversaw the counterattack, and was also killed by the fierce He Zhong with a spear.

Liu Ming was furious, swung his knife and rushed forward, slashing eleven times in one breath, cutting off He Zhong's seven spears, forcing him to take seventeen steps back, and finally cutting off one of He Zhong's arms.

He Zhong howled in pain, grabbed another spear and stabbed Liu Ming's throat head-on. Liu Ming dodged, smashed the hilt of the spear with a punch, and the war knife viciously slashed into He Zhong's chest.

He Zhong howled miserably, and before he died, he kicked Liu Ming in the waist and abdomen, kicking Liu Ming into the air and flying more than a dozen steps away.

After Liu Ming fell to the ground, he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and rolled a few times to stabilize his body, and the Han soldiers rushed up and sacrificed their lives to protect it.

Liu Ming lay on the ground in embarrassment, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Kill ...... Kill me for ......" Commander Lu Xian led his troops to attack the East City Gate.

The enemy soldiers on the east gate swore to resist to the death, and they condescended, occupied the favorable terrain, and repelled the attacks of the Han army dozens of times.

Lu Xian couldn't bear it anymore and personally rushed forward with his soldiers. The Han army finally took the city tower after paying the price of one military marquis, two tun commanders, and more than 400 soldiers.

Just as Lu Xian commanded his soldiers to rush up the tower, a badly wounded enemy soldier aimed his crossbow at him and fired three sharp crossbow arrows.

Lu Xian was pierced through his body by a crossbow arrow and fell heavily to the bottom of the city. Towards noon, Yiliang was captured by the Han army.

In this battle, the Han army killed 1,800 enemies, killed two captains, two military commanders, and 2,000 soldiers, and suffered heavy losses.

Zhao Yun and Liu Ming galloped one hundred and sixty miles in two days with six thousand iron horsemen, captured three cities, and lost more than half of their men and horses.

Zhao Yun stood on the bloodstained city tower, his heart aching. Lu Xian and Zongliu used to be the military Sima of the Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army, since the Changshui Battalion went to Jizhou with the general the year before last, everyone has been fighting together in the south and the north, born and died, like brothers, I didn't expect that today's Yiliang battle was killed at the same time.

Zhao Yun looked up at the Han battle flag flying high, thinking about the sound and smile of his comrades-in-arms, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Liang Baiwu's stout figure slowly appeared in front of Zhao Yun's eyes. From early in the morning, the army under the command of Koji Yi and Yang Feng who had hidden in the original land of the feather belt began to cross the river.

Zhao Yun said in a letter to Liyi that if he could capture Yiliang, what he needed most was cavalry.

Considering the distance, the army of the Marquis of Subu Gudu will attack Yiliang from the three directions of Wuyuan, Jiuyuan and Linwo at dusk today.

In order to allow more soldiers to cross the river and participate in the battle, the Han army had to hold Yiliang and keep the enemy's cavalry out of the crossing.

"My lord......" Liang Baiwu bowed down and shouted softly. Zhao Yun's prestige and achievements are really admirable, and a strong Yellow Turban warrior like Liang Baiwu must also be respectful when facing Zhao Yun.

When he entered the city with the army just now, he saw corpses all over the streets, smelled disgusting blood, and stepped on blood-red ground, which gave the soldiers a shock.

Zhao Yun miraculously appeared on the other side of the Yellow River with an iron horse, and miraculously connected the three cities, Liang Baiwu felt that Zhao Yun was like a great general was a myth, an invincible myth.

Liang Baiwu was the first Han soldier to cross the river today. According to the arrangement of Lu Yi and Yang Feng, Liang Baiwu crossed the river with two thousand foot soldiers in the first batch, and then quickly rushed to Yiliang City, which was twenty miles away from the ferry, to support Zhao Yun in attacking the city.

Lu Yi said, if Lord Zhao takes the city, your task is to hold Yiliang until the army has all crossed the river.

Liang Baiwu said in a high-spirited voice, I just finished beating all the two thousand people, and I have to defend Yiliang.

Koji Yi scolded, everyone is done, you still keep a fart. You just have to hold on for two days. In two days, we will have at least 10,000 men crossing the river, so that your reinforcements will be enough.

Yang Feng explained that we must first transport the cavalry across the river as much as possible, so that the army can block the iron cavalry of the Xiongnu rebels, so you have to work hard.

Although there are not many troops defending the city, it should be more than enough to defend the city for two days. Liang Baiwu swore that he would defend it.

Zhao Yun returned the salute and asked, "Has General Koji ever crossed the river?" ”

"The river has been crossed." Liang Baiwu said,

"Heng Sacrifice Heng people are crossing the river with the Fengyun Iron Cavalry Battalion, and it is estimated that by dusk, at least three thousand Iron Cavalry can rush to the north bank." Zhao Yun let out a long breath, and the expression on his face suddenly relaxed a lot.

"I'll leave it to you." Zhao Yun held Liang Baiwu's big hand and said,

"I immediately took the iron cavalry out of the city to meet the Koji general." Ten miles away from Yiliang City is Hui Jinyuan, which is thirty miles away from the ferry.

Koji Yoshiki decided to put the blocking battlefield here. Zhao Yun hurried to Hui Jinyuan with three thousand iron horsemen. The continuous marches and hard battles had exhausted the soldiers, and many of them came with wounds.

Zhao Yun looked around painfully, turned to Liu Ming, who was pale, and said, "Order the soldiers to rest immediately, how are you?" Is it okay? Liu Ming spat a mouthful of blood on the grass fiercely, bared his teeth and said, "Okay, you can't die." If I don't take revenge today, I won't live. Zhao Yun knew that he was in pain.

The two brothers who had been together for many years died suddenly, and most of the brothers in Changshui Camp were also lost, and now he was in pain, and he only thought about killing people and taking revenge.

Liu Ming jumped off the horse with difficulty, leaned down on the grass, and stared at the clear blue sky with wide eyes.

He didn't dare to close his eyes, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Lu Xian and Zongliu, and he couldn't control his grief and wanted to cry.

Zhao Yun looked at him worriedly, wanting to comfort him but didn't know where to start. This man is going to fall.

Zhao Yun sighed gloomily, and ran to Mustafa's side.

"I'll take you to meet General Koji." Mustafa asked in surprise: "Is it Lord Koji Yoshiji, the general of the Huns?" Zhao Yun smiled: "Yes, he is now a broken general." ”

"Last year, he beat the Marquis of Xubu Gudu and Baima Tong to the ground, and finally forced them to withdraw across the Yellow River." Mustafa said excitedly,

"The Huns are now afraid of him, and I have always wanted to meet him. Is he tall? Are you as young as an adult? "Koji has lost a lot of weight, but he is still so tall and strong, so magnificent, and so radiant.

He waved at Zhao Yun and smiled: "Zilong, I haven't seen you for more than a year, your kid seems to have turned black, but his body is stronger." Zhao Yunfei dismounted and saluted respectfully,

"Hello, sir."

"I'm fine, but I'm in a bad mood." Koji Yi smiled,

"Last year was bad luck, the battle was bad, and I was a bag. Let's see if we can turn over this year. Is the general okay? Is Mrs. Little Rain beautiful? Zhao Yun said with a smile: "After this battle, the general will see it when he returns to Jinyang." Koji struck his head with the whip in his hand,

"After this battle, it's hard to say if this head is still on the neck. When will you marry? Remember to let me know in advance. Don't learn from the generals, marry secretly, like anything. Zhao Yun smiled shyly.

Mustafa looked at Koji with some trepidation. Last year, he took 50,000 people to fight 100,000 people in Xubu Guduhou, and finally beat Xubu Gudu Hou away, and he said that he had fought in such a bad way, so if he gave him 100,000 people, he would not have killed the Huns.

Zhao Yun pointed to Mustafa and introduced it to Liyi.

"The fact that we were able to win the three cities this time is all due to Mustafa." Lu Yi praised a few words and said, "If you are willing, follow Liu Ming to command the army." You have been wronged by being a lieutenant. Then the eternal priest also came.

He and Zhao Yun haven't seen each other for more than a year, and they are very happy to see each other. After the four of them laughed a few words, Mustafa estimated that Zhao Yun and Heng Xi still had important matters to discuss, and hurriedly bowed down and took their leave.

"When did General Xu start crossing the river to contain the Huns in Linwo and Jiuyuan?" Zhao Yun asked.

"It's time to start." Koji Yi looked at the sky and said,

"He's just bluffing, the key is to see if we can defeat the Hun Iron Cavalry here. As long as we defeat them and inflict a large number of casualties, the Marquis of Subu Gudu will bring more troops from Jiuyuan to prevent us from crossing the river. ”

"Our casualties will be significant." Heng Priest said worriedly,

"If they transfer all of Jiuyuan's troops, it will be difficult for us to stop them."

"It's not that serious. We have 6,000 horsemen and 2,000 foot soldiers, and we can stop it completely. Zhao Yun said,

"At present, the 6,000 soldiers of Xi'anyang, Chengyi and Yiliang have been solved by us, and the 10,000 soldiers in the key passes of Yinshan are impossible to recruit and transfer, and the reinforcements that the Marquis of Xubu Gudu can transfer to Yiliang are only 10,000 in Jiuyuan, 2,000 in Wuyuan City, and 2,000 in Linwo, a total of 14,000 people. If General Xu can successfully contain part of the forces of Linwo and Jiuyuan in the direction of Heyin City, then the most troops who can rush to Yiliang are only seven or eight thousand. ”

"The Marquis of the Bone Bone will leave a few thousand people to garrison Jiuyuan City no matter what, so the harder we fight, the fewer troops will remain in Jiuyuan City, and Jiang Wu will be more sure to hit with one blow and quickly take Jiuyuan City." Zhao Yun looked at Koji Yi and Heng Sai and smiled,

"If Jiang Wu not only takes Jiuyuan City, but also kills the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, then the ending will be very perfect." Koji Yoshiki laughed,

"If he had died so early, the battle would have ended soon." Heng Shi smiled and shook his head,

"Don't think about this kind of good thing, let's think about how to deal with the counterattack of the Marquis of Subu Gudu. If he sees our plot and orders Subu Qiyang to immediately lead his troops back to Jiuyuan City to support, then it will be very difficult for us to attack Yinshan in the north. Now it depends on whether the general's frontal attack can firmly hold back the Xubu Abandonment. After receiving Yiliang's request for help, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu was taken aback, and hurriedly summoned the ministers of Shan Yuting to discuss the matter.

Lan Shamang, the king of Yougu Li, believed that this was a trick of the Han army, and that the Han army sent a small force to launch a harassing attack, in order to deceive Da Shan Yu and force Da Shan Yu not to dare to divide his troops to support the battlefield in the clouds.

He believed that if the Han army crossed the river from the original direction of Yudai, it should receive requests for help from the two cities of Yiliang and Chengyi at the same time, but at present, only Yiliang has received a request for help, which shows that this news is inaccurate.

The Marquis of Subu Bone hesitated and hurriedly sent a fast horse to Yiliang to find out the truth. As soon as the fast horse left, the scouts lurking near the Yellow River replied one after another, saying that the Han army was crossing the river from the direction of Yudaiyuan, and the cities of Chengyi and Yiliang were all captured by the Han army overnight.

Soon, Linwo City quickly called for help, and the Han army began to cross the river from the direction of Heyin City to attack. When the Marquis of Subu Gudu and the ministers of Shan Yuting heard the news, they were immediately shocked.

The two cities of Chengyi and Yiliang were lost overnight, which shows that the Han army has already had a strategy to cross the river, they are not to deceive themselves into being deceived, but to come to the truth, they really want to cross the river to the north to attack Jiuyuan.

The Marquis of Xubu Gudu did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the left general Huyan Dengdu to lead 5,000 iron cavalry to kill Benyiliang and Chengyi, and be sure to recapture all the two cities and drive the Han army back to the south bank of the Yellow River.

Ordered the 2,000 iron cavalry stationed in Wuyuan City to attack immediately and follow General Zuo to attack the Han army. Ordered the right commander Xu Buwu to finally lead 2,000 iron cavalry to support Linwo, and be sure to prevent the Han army from crossing the river.

Ordered the fast horse to rush to the clouds immediately, and urgently summoned Xu Bu to abandon Yang to return to Jiuyuan City. Jump to! ~！ [To quickly find this site, please search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]
