Chapter 0309 - Suspicious Tactics

The combined army of Xianbei and Xiongnu collapsed in an instant.

The Xianbei and the Huns were all broken, and the wolves rushed and fled in all directions. They either fell into the Hutuo River, or fled to Changliang Mountain, or were trampled by the iron horsemen, or abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and no longer had the will to resist.

Putou was desperately protected by the guards of Danhan Mountain, and fled to Changliang Mountain in embarrassment.

Hao Shuai Yu Lu led thousands of soldiers to block the attack, but then he was killed by the Youzhou Iron Cavalry and the Changshui Battalion to lose his armor and lose his armor, and he was killed and wounded. Hu Di Yu led a group of soldiers to fight out of the siege and abandoned his horse to the mountain. Xu Rong took the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion in hot pursuit, chasing for ten miles in a row, and only after cutting off the head of the captives did he collect the troops and return to the camp.

Guarded by a team of attendants, Twilight Gateing broke through many obstacles and finally fought his way out. They thought they could escape with their lives, but they ran to the wrong place and were killed by a dense burst of crossbow arrows from the Shangdang soldiers under the command of Gao Shun. The ambitious generation of Xiongnu heroes died in this land.

And with the death of Dusk Gaiting, it also means that the 40,000 Xiongnu army that invaded the Central Plains with the Xianbei army was completely wiped out, and the Xiongnu accumulated strength for decades, almost all of which were in ink.

Zhang Fei looked at the long hillside, his brows furrowed.

"Guangwu City is low, and if the Xianbei people rush down from the mountain, their speed and momentum are very amazing." Captain Huang Xu pointed to the horse rejection array behind him and asked worriedly, "General, can this thing withstand it?" ”

"It's definitely not a problem to resist for a while." Li Xuan said, "When we were in Juzhu Mountain, we used tree barriers to block the Xianbei people for four days, not to mention the rejection of horses. ”

"The power of rejecting a horse is far greater than that of a tree barrier, let alone a rejecting array." Zhang Baiqi exclaimed, "We are all familiar with rejecting horses, but we never thought that rejecting horses could be used like this, this idea is very clever." ”

"Guangwu City's blockade if successful. The soldier who came up with this idea should take the first credit. Fang Bao looked at everyone and said with a smile, "If the power of the Horse Rejection Formation is amazing, we can take it all the way to drive the Hu people out of Yin Mountain." ”

"Fang Bao, what kind of joke are you talking about." Zhang Fei shook his head, pointed to the horse rejection array and said, "We cut down all the trees on the two wooded hills nearby, and we only set up such a horse rejection formation that is five hundred steps long and three hundred steps wide. If it is replaced by tens of thousands of people or even hundreds of thousands of people facing off against the prairie, how big do you say you want to put up a horse rejection array? Where do you go to cut down so many trees? How many wagons do you need to transport so many trees? ”

"It's easy to set people on fire." Li Xuan shrugged a pair of thick eyebrows and laughed silently. "I think this horse rejection formation is also easy to use when fighting in such a narrow terrain place, and it must also be able to use local materials, preferably in this kind of mountainous area. If we fight in the plains or deserts, we have neither the conditions nor the need, but we have to rely on the large phalanx and the tacit cooperation of the soldiers. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for using equipment to win the Hu people's iron horses. ”

"Fang Bao wants to be lazy." Huang Xu teased, "Fang Bao." Are you tired of fighting? ”

Fang Bao smiled: "I just want to drive the Hu people out as soon as possible." Fighting such a battle all day long, I was really panicked. ”

"I think you have won a lot of battles with my eldest brother, and your heart is too high." Zhang Fei said unceremoniously, "Recently, we have been withdrawing. Although they were defeated again and again, they were all waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. ”

Zhang Fei looked at the crowd and continued: "The soldiers have opinions and emotions. It's normal, but you can't have it. The eldest brother has repeatedly said that he only hurt the Xianbei people. They're going to get angry, they're going to make mistakes, and we're going to find an opportunity to beat them. ”

"But our casualties are too great." Li Xuan said dissatisfiedly, "We can withdraw a little faster." ”

"Yes, Yide, why are you fighting the blocking battle of Juzhu Mountain alone, but we are idle in the back?" Zhang Baiqi also complained, "If we take turns, your five thousand brothers won't be gone." ”

"The eldest brother has the idea of the eldest brother, and we can only obey as subordinates." Zhang Fei sighed and said bitterly, "The purpose of the eldest brother is nothing more than to let you recuperate, so that you can block the follow-up army of the Xianbei people with fewer enemies here, and buy enough time to destroy the enemy on the Yuanping battlefield." ”

"Brother Zibi and the lord are brothers, and your relationship is extraordinary, why don't you persuade the lord?" Zhang Baiqi glanced at Li Xuan, who was silent, and asked loudly.

Li Xuan smiled indifferently, shook his head, and said: "The lord is the commander of the army, he thinks about the safety of the Great Han Kingdom, if he asks me to stay in Juzhu Mountain until I die in battle, I won't ask why." ”

"We are the people of the Great Han Kingdom, and our brothers are also the people of the Great Han Kingdom, as long as we die for the Great Han Kingdom, no matter how we die, we are all heroes."

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar like a storm.

"Our scouts." Zhang Fei looked up at the sky and said, "The battle of Yuan Ping should begin." ”

"The Ritsuri deduction is here." Li Xuan smiled, "Brothers, as long as we don't die today, we can't take a step back." ”

"It's a war, it's a war......," Fang Bao yelled excitedly, "Go back to your own formation, go back to your own formation." ”

The crowd cheered and rode away.

Zhang Fei suddenly looked back, opened his eyes angrily, raised his arms and shouted: "Beat the drums, prepare to fight......"

………………

When he heard that there was a Han army in Guangwu City, he was very surprised and asked, "How many people?" ”

"There are about 20,000 people." Pi Louji replied, "It should be all the infantry of the Han army." ”

Ri Ri deduced and asked, "What about Li Yi?" What about the iron horsemen of the Han people? ”

Pi Lou Ji shook his head and said, "I didn't find it. The scouts we sent in advance probably killed them, so we don't know the situation. ”

Ritsuri deduced and was silent.

"Is there any news of the king?" Luo Luo asked.

"The last time we heard from him was in the morning, when he had already passed through Guangwu City." Pi Lou Ji looked at the Ri deduction and shook his head, "The king told us that there was no Han army in Guangwu City, and asked us to follow up quickly, but now ......"

The three of them, Ri Deduction, Zhi Luo Luo and Yan Liyou, glanced at each other and secretly felt that it was not good.

"Immediately send someone to tell the bald Pi Gu that Guangwu City has discovered the Han army." He turned back to the herald and shouted, "Come at once, hurry, hurry!" ”

………………

The cavalry army of the Xianbei people stopped on the hillside outside the valley mouth, waiting for orders to attack.

Ri deduced, Luo Luo and Yan Liyou led a group of leaders to the top of the slope and raised their eyes to look into the valley.

"The Han people set up a lot of rejection horses at the mouth of the valley, and it seems to be a blocking formation." Tu Xihong pointed to the horse rejection array under the slope with the horse whip in his hand and introduced, "The Han people connect the horse rejection with straw ropes to form a small phalanx, and we want to move these rejection horses away, it is impossible, we can only force them over." But after we rushed in, the horses lost their speed because they were blocked by the rejection of the horses. ”

"You can only fight hand-to-hand with the Han soldiers who reject the horse." "After we rushed in, the advantage of the cavalry was gone, and we could only fight bloodily, and the losses would be very large. The Han are too cunning. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he said slowly: "Li Yi's army has suffered great losses in Juzhu Mountain, and now even if all his follow-up men and horses arrive, there are only 60,000 people. Now that he has more than 20,000 people here to stop us, what are the remaining 40,000 people doing? ”

"Li Yi must have taken the cavalry to ambush the king and the twilight getting." Yan Liyou said, "There is no news from the king so far, there is only one possibility, that is, Li Yi has been surrounded." The Han infantry is here to stop us in order to buy time for Li Yi. ”

"Li Yi only has 30,000 cavalry in his hands, and if he wants to ambush the king's 60,000 horses, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. Moreover, once his soldiers suffered heavy casualties, would Jinyang City still be defended? "Even if he annihilates the king's 60,000 people, we still have 100,000 troops coming one after another, doesn't he want to fight the next battle?" Li Yi won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that if Putou is dead, we will withdraw our troops back to the desert, right? ”

Luo Luo smiled: "Maybe that's what Li Yi thinks." He concentrated his main forces and tried to succeed in the first battle. The Han Chinese have always been self-righteous. ”

Ri deduced that he touched his beard, looked at the Han army in the valley with flags waving, and hesitated.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, as if he understood Li Yi's intentions.

Lu Ri took a look at Luo Luo and Yan Liyou, and said solemnly: "Li Yi is not an ordinary Han person, if he can't beat us, he will definitely run." If you think about the battles he fought, how many times he suffered losses, he would not be stupid enough to use 30,000 people to fight the 60,000 people in Putou. He must have had another trick up his sleeve. ”

Zhi Luo Luo and Yan Liyou were both stunned, looking at him in surprise with confused expressions.

Yan Liyou hesitated, then pointed to the Han army below the slope in confusion and asked, "Then what's going on with these people?" ”

"They are infantry, with only two legs." Ritsuri laughed, "How could they run over the four legs of a war horse?" ”

Hearing this, Luo Luo laughed and said, "Old Law, don't be joking. Do we want to attack or not? ”

"Haha......" Ritsuri laughed, "If it were you, would you give away the lives of 20,000 soldiers for nothing?" ”

Zhi Luo Luo and Yan Liyou suddenly came to their senses, and exclaimed in unison: "Old Law, do you mean that Li Yi is behind us?" ”

"Yes." Ritsuri said with a smile, "You two old boys aren't stupid. Even if the Han army is elite and well-equipped, it is still possible for 50,000 people to fight us and 60,000, but it is absolutely impossible for 30,000 people to fight 60,000, do you think Li Yi is an idiot. ”

"Li Yi first deliberately let go of the 60,000 troops of Putou and Dugaiting, and then set up infantry to block us in Guangwu City, with only one purpose, that is, to make us mistakenly think that he was going to ambush the king. If we fall into the trap set by Li Yi, thinking that he is now fighting with the king, thinking that the Han people are at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and it will not take much time to distinguish the winner from the loser, so we rush to grab the battle merit, and the result is that we will attack with all our strength, break through the Han army's resistance, rush into the valley, and engage the Han army's foot soldiers who are waiting for the battle. Then their cavalry burst out behind us and attacked us on both sides. You say, what will happen to us when we are completely defenseless? He must have been wiped out! (To be continued.) )
