Chapter 0303: Hu Qi Goes South
At dusk, the remnant sun is like blood.
Pu Tou, as the king of Xianbei, convened the leaders of various departments to discuss the matter of marching into Jinyang.
"Because we attacked day and night, and continued to rush and kill, we have now completely occupied Juzhu Mountain." Pu Tou said happily, "The door to the Central Plains has been completely opened by us. ”
The bald Pigu glanced at him and congratulated him: "The king is resolute and decisive, his command is determined, and his soldiers are like gods, which is really admirable." Now Jinyang City is just around the corner, and as long as we take Jinyang, is it still far to go south to Luoyang? The king will make great achievements and build a thousand years of meritorious deeds because of this. ”
The law day deduction and feast Li You looked at the bald hair and the lonely, and the eyes were full of mockery.
Although the two of them didn't think so, they also had to say a few words of flattery after the bald Pi Gu.
Pu Tou's heart became more and more comfortable and full of spirit.
"After the Han army withdraws from Juzhu Mountain, there is no danger to defend, and it is only a matter of time before it retreats." Pu Tou pointed to the map and said, "We followed the Han army all the way down the Hutuo River to Guangwu City. ”
"If the Han army wants to stop us, this is the best place." Pu Tou said, "After Guangwu City, we can go down until Jinyang." ”
Pu Tou looked up at a few people, and said with a smile: "I invited you to come just to discuss how to use Guangwu City to annihilate Li Yi's army." ”
"The king is sure that Li Yi will definitely stop us in Guangwu City?" Yan Liyou asked suspiciously, "More than 10,000 of their more than 60,000 troops have been defeated by us, and more than 20,000 of the remaining troops of less than 50,000 are infantry, in this disadvantageous situation, he is too slow to retreat, and will he stop to ambush us?" Is the king thinking too much? ”
"Wang, I think Li Yi will definitely retreat directly to Jinyang." "The difference between his strength and ours is too great, and once he is surrounded by us, he will either be wiped out or suffer heavy losses." His army was finished. What about Jinyang City? Don't want soldiers to defend anymore? ”
"Judging from the current strength of the Han army blocking us, Li Yi's army has basically rushed to Juzhu Mountain." Ri Ri said with a smile, "Yesterday, we saw the battle flags of Xuan Pei and Xu Rong, that is to say, his reinforcements have arrived now, and Li Yi has so many people." ”
He pointed to Guangwu City on the map and said, "If Li Yi wants to ambush us here, he must at least concentrate several times our forces, otherwise what will he do to attack us?" We still have nearly 160,000 horses, but now the Han country has hundreds of thousands of troops? Does Li Yi have it? ”
"I think the king's guess is very reasonable." Bald Pi Gu retorted. "You only took into account the disparity in strength between the two sides, but you did not think that it was impossible for us to march in the mountains at the same time. If Li Yi attacks one of us with 70,000 men, he will win. ”
Because of the previous sneak attack sentence note, Ri Ri deduced that he couldn't get used to seeing the bald hair and the lonely man, and sneered when he heard the words: "If you don't save yourself when you see death, then of course the first one will be wiped out." ”
Bald Pi laughed angrily, he pointed to Ritsuri and said, "You must be the one who can't be saved when you die." ”
Pu Tou saw the two of them fighting. Hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "Okay, okay, we are about to enter Jinyang City, and what we need most at this time is to work together." I don't think you want to go home empty-handed, do you? ”
Putou motioned for the two to sit down. He continued: "Actually, there is not only the question of the order of the march, but also the problem of rations. Because Li Yi burned down Xiaokou Mountain, we had to go around Juzhu Mountain by small road. The army is coming. But our livestock is still stranded in the area of Yinguan City, and we can't follow up for a long time. ”
"We can't go to Jinyang with dry food." Putou smiled, "On the other hand. We must also rush to Jinyang City as quickly as possible, so as not to let the Han people get the news of the loss of Juzhu Mountain, and send the Luoyang Northern Army to support the annexation of the state in advance. So I intend to wait for some of the cattle to come over, and then the army will set out for part of it. ”
Pu Tou looked at everyone, shook his head helplessly, and said: "This is a helpless thing, Li Yi's fire made us so uncomfortable, so I can't help but consider that Li Yi's burning of Xiaokoushan has another purpose." ”
"The king thinks that Li Yi burned Xiaokou Mountain in order to widen the distance between our various departments in order to stop us in Guangwu City?" Yan Liyou asked with a smile, the mockery in his eyes that everyone could see.
"I'm just guessing that Li Yi might be able to stop us in Guangwu City." Pu Tou didn't care and explained, "In order to prevent Li Yi from raiding us, of course I have to prepare early. ”
"The king must have a solution." Ri Ri said with a smile, "The king will arrange it directly, we will listen to the king." ”
Putou prepared to take the lead in rushing to Guangwu City with more than 20,000 people from the Danhan Mountain headquarters led by him, plus more than 30,000 Huns, a total of 60,000 people. If Li Yi's army did have an ambush in Guangwu City, 60,000 iron cavalry could deal with the 60,000 army of the Han army.
The Chinese army, which was immediately behind the front army, was 60,000 men, and it was an army led by three adults from the western Xianbei. During the attack on Juzhu Mountain, the three of Lu Ri Deduction, Zhi Luo Luo and Yan Liyou worked harder, and the casualties were slightly larger, with an army of 90,000, and now there are only more than 60,000 people left.
After receiving the call for help from the front army, the Chinese army immediately rushed to Guangwu City, striving to drag Li Yi's army, and it was best to surround it.
Bald Pigu led more than 20,000 men and horses of the headquarters as the rear army, and after receiving the news, he quickly advanced and rushed to Guangwu City as fast as possible to participate in the battle of encircling and annihilating Li Yi.
There are still 10,000 people to stay in Juzhusai and Yanmen County, this is the retreat of the army, and there must be no mistakes.
After many battles in Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Dingxiang County and Yanmen County, the Xianbei people have lost more than 40,000 people, and only about 160,000 horses can be deployed.
As soon as Putou finished speaking, Kuixian, a native of Dongqiang, took the initiative to ask to stay, saying that he wanted to stay north of Juzhu Mountain and not go to Jinyang.
Yan Liyou said with a smile: "It's good not to go, it's not good if you don't go, if he doesn't go, we can share a little more property, haha......"
The bald Pi Gu also scolded with a smile: "You are so timid, why do you always attack the Great Han Kingdom?" ”
Kyu-hyun was expressionless and didn't say a word, letting them tease and joke.
Pu Tou asked, "Then the former army is ......?"
"Of course it's the king." The bald Pi Gu didn't wait for Putou to speak, and immediately smiled, "Such a heavy responsibility belongs to the king. After the king defeated Li Yi, he took the lead and led the army straight to Jinyang, achieving great achievements for thousands of years. ”
Putou hesitated slightly. He didn't want to take risks himself, this kind of thing should be led by a fierce general like Ri Ri and Yan Liyou. These two tribes owed a lot of money to the royal court of Danhan Mountain, and he had written off these debts for this trip south. If you don't have to pay off your debts, you should make more efforts to fight the war.
However, Baldness's words made it difficult for him to make this arrangement again, he was the king, and he could not let his subordinates think that he was cowardly and did not dare to charge.
Putou looked at the bald Pi Lone, and was very dissatisfied. If you don't want to take the lead, why are you pushing me to the front? What exactly does baldness mean? Does he want to......
"Okay, then the king will personally lead the army to Guangwu City first." Pu Tou smiled casually, then turned his head to look at Twilight Gaiting, "Is the King of the Nine Plains with me?" ”
Twilight Gated glanced at Kyu-hyun disdainfully and said loudly, "I want to see how Li Yi ate me." Okay, I'll follow the king as the front army. ”
………………
Guangwu City is located at the southern foot of Juzhu Mountain, upstream of Hutuo River, and is more than 60 miles away from Juzhu Mountain.
Putou and his army stopped more than ten miles north of the city, anxiously waiting for news of the scouts.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the Han army suddenly withdrew from the battlefield, and its speed caught the Xianbei people off guard.
Putou did not hesitate, and together with Dusk Gaiting, he took the lead in chasing down with 60,000 people.
The scouts returned one after another, but no one found any trace of the Han army.
"Send more people, probe again, expand the search range to eight miles away, and don't miss every mountain forest around Guangwu City." Pu Tou thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Everyone returns with a horn, buy time, hurry, hurry ......"
Twilight Gaiting patted his horse and walked to Putou's side, and said with a smile: "It seems that the king is indeed too worried, and Li Yi has already fled when he sees that he is invincible." ”
"You think so too?" Pu Tou asked with a smile while gently stroking the mane of the sitting war horse.
"King, Li Yi led his troops to block the attack in Juzhu Mountain, and we are fighting for every inch of land, this is not fake. His soldiers suffered heavy casualties, which were obvious to all. "If he wants to lure the enemy and ambush us in Guangwu City, will he need to fight us like this?" It would be more beneficial for Li Yi to retreat to Guangwu City earlier. In my opinion, he couldn't continue to stick to Juzhu Mountain, so he had to withdraw. ”
"He still has 60,000 or 70,000 horses, and he can continue to hold out for a while." Putou said, "He must be famous for withdrawing so suddenly." ”
"The king is too careful." "If you look at the camp of the Han army, there are disemboweling horses everywhere, it can be seen that they have run out of food, and they can't do it if they don't withdraw." In addition, if the Han army is short of food and grass, then the weapons of the Han army will definitely not be replenished. This kind of resistance war is very consuming of weapons, especially long arrows, how can you hold out without weapons? ”
Putou thought for a moment and felt that what Twilight Gateting said made sense, but he vaguely felt that he was not steady.
Li Yi still has fifty or sixty thousand people in his hands, and the cavalry is still complete, will he give up easily?
Judging from Li Yi's past records, he is a war genius who likes to use dangerous tactics, and he should fight back. But he is not in Guangwu City, where will he fight back?
"It's better to be cautious." Pu Tou said cautiously, "As long as we leave Guangwu City, we can leap our horses and whip and kill all the way to Jinyang City without hindrance, so we should be cautious at this time." ”
Twilight smiled helplessly, shaking her head disapprovingly. (To be continued.) )
