365 East Strike Wuhuan

As soon as the rockets fell into the bushes, they immediately ignited a fire, and in a matter of moments, the fire gradually spread, becoming larger and larger, and the flames burned along the bushes with lightning speed, and many flames burned from the ground to the opposite side.

The Wuhuan people were suddenly shocked, and Nanlou was also confused, and they set their own strategy to surround the Han army, but they were surrounded by the Han army, and they were set on fire.

The fire on the ground was chaotic, and it was only at this time that Wuhuan noticed that the ground was crisscrossed with many small dark ditches, in these dark ditches, they were filled with black liquid, and as soon as those liquids met the flames, they quickly burned, and gradually formed a sky-high fire, some Wuhuan cavalry even people and horses were burned, the war horses neighed, and the voices of people were boiling, with Wuluo Pavilion as the center, there was a fire within a radius of several miles, and the Wuhuan people were suffering from the pain of the fire.

For a while, the Wuhuan people turned over on their backs, and the war horses rushed indiscriminately, making the Wuhuan people who were already in a mess even more chaotic.

At this time, tens of thousands of arrows fell from the sky, and shot mercilessly towards the dense Wuhuan people, many Wuhuan people were either burned to death by the flames, or were killed by arrows, although there were 100,000 troops, but after all, the conflict could not be out!

It turned out that all of this was Jia Xu's strategy.

It can be said that Jia Xu has never believed in Nanlou from beginning to end, and Nanlou also believes that he is smart, but he doesn't want to be smart and be used by Jia Xu. Unconsciously. Bring an army of 100,000 into the vicinity of Wuluoting. Only then did we have the current scene.

And Wuluo Pavilion is really a rare terrain, he is like a huge gourd, with a small exit, a wide area in the middle, and dense surrounding woods, which just meets Jia Xu's needs. It's just a pity for this lush forest.

Because Jia Xu had people sprinkle fierce fire oil on the ground and in the woods in advance. Therefore, the fire spread very quickly, and the fire became bigger and bigger, gradually forming a raging fire dragon, opening the bloody mouth, stretching out a crimson tongue of fire, and burning all the Wuhuan people and war horses located in the Wuluo Pavilion area.

The screams were endless, the flames quickly engulfed everything in Wuluo Pavilion, and the woods on both sides had already become part of the fire, and the Han army blocked the two exits of Wuluo Pavilion, but whenever they saw someone rushing out. and they were shot.

The ferocious fire burned everything inside, and the screams that had been high-pitched at first gradually became less and less. Half an hour later, the Han army could no longer hear any other sound except for the crackling sound of the fire, and the 100,000 army was completely burned to death in the area of Wuluoting by the flames.

Wuluo Pavilion, Wuluo Pavilion, it seems that it has been destined in the dark, when Wuhuan invaded Youzhou, was defeated by the white horse led by Gongsun Zhan, and its leader was shot off the horse by Gongsun Chan with an arrow in this place. Therefore, in order to commemorate the merits of Gongsun Zhan, the locals built a pavilion in this place where the Wuhuan people fell off their horses, and named it Wuluo Pavilion!

Now, Nanlou and 100,000 Wuhuan people have been burned down by fire in this place, but there is a sense of providence.

Although the 100,000 Wuhuan people did not shout, the raging fire was not extinguished, and the fire continued to burn for several hours before it gradually went out.

At this time, Jia Xu had already told Zhang Yan the news that 100,000 Wuhuan people had been burned to death. After Zhang Yan learned the news, he immediately ordered the beheading of Badun and Su Fuyan to show the public, and then dispatched troops to send Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Gao Ran and other generals, together with Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and other Youzhou army generals, to attack the Wuhuan people, taking advantage of this time to completely defeat the Wuhuan people, so that the Wuhuan people know where the Han Tianwei is, and from then on, they will never dare to violate the boundary with soldiers.

In addition, Zhang Yan sent scouts to send a letter to Gongsun Du, the Marquis of Liaodong, asking Gongsun Du to send troops from Liaodong to cooperate with the Han army to attack the Wuhuan people.

This time, Zhang Yan personally led the army to the expedition, he first led Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and other cavalry first, with Tian Chou, who knew the terrain of Youzhou well, as a guide, all the way to the west, straight to the Wuhuan people in Liaoxi, Changli area Shan Yuting, where the Wuhuan people gathered, about two or three hundred thousand people gathered.

However, although there were two or three hundred thousand Wuhuan people, they were all old and weak, women and children, and the real young and middle-aged were all burned to death in Wuluoting in this operation.

The news of the annihilation of the Wuhuan 100,000-strong army had not yet reached the Wuhuan tribe so quickly, so the Wuhuan people did not know the catastrophe they were about to face.

Zhang Yan led the army all the way to the north, and when he arrived at Youbeiping, he unexpectedly encountered Huchuquan, Qubei and other Hun cavalry.

It turned out that Hu Chuquan, Qubei and others went out to pursue the Xianbei people, these Xianbei people had already fled when they heard the wind, and fled far away from Mobei, because Huchuquan, Qubei and others were not familiar with the environment and geography of Mobei, and had no choice but to retreat. After they returned to Yunzhong, they heard that Zhang Yan was going to lead a large army to deal with the Wuhuan people, so he took the initiative to lead the Hun cavalry to help.

After the division of the Xiongnu, Shili gradually weakened, but the two ethnic groups of Xianbei and Wuhuan became more and more active, Huchuquan and Qubei wanted to restore the prestige of their ancestors on the grassland, so they took the initiative to go to Youzhou, ostensibly to help Zhang Yan deal with the Wuhuan people, but in fact they had other plans, afraid of missing this opportunity, and then dealing with the Wuhuan people in the future, the Huns themselves would bear the whole of the war.

Anyway, no matter what the real intentions of the Huns were, in short, for the time being, the addition of tens of thousands of Hun cavalry in Zhang Yan's army will greatly increase his military liliang, which is undoubtedly a very good opportunity to fight the Wuhuan people and relieve the border troubles in Youzhou.

Therefore, Zhang Yan asked Hu Chuquan and Qubei to lead the army to follow him, and the two armies joined forces and acted together, and the commander of the operation continued to be the regent Zhang Yan.

Because Shanhaiguan has not been built at this time, the Han Dynasty has not paid much attention to the road administration, and the official road to the remote area has basically not been built, so it is not easy to walk this road from Youbeiping to Liaoxi.

According to the geographical direction of Tian Chou, there are only two roads to go to the Wuhuan people's station, one is to take the "coastal road", and the other is Lulongsai.

Lulongsai is today's Xifengkou, located in the territory of Youbeiping, the easternmost part of the foothills of Xuwu Mountain, located between the two mountains. On the left is Meishan, and on the right is Yunshan.

The so-called "Coastal Road" is located in the narrow coastal plain, which is today called the "Liaoning West Corridor". It has experienced too many vicissitudes in Chinese history, and the Shanhaiguan area has always been a battleground for soldiers. However, most of these situations occurred after the Tang and Song dynasties, and during the Eastern Han Dynasty, although this road was also the main passage to western Liao, its transportation conditions were too far worse than those of later generations.

In the absence of bad weather, this road will be directly inserted into the inland counties of Beiping and Yuyang, and once it encounters heavy rains in summer and autumn, this road has become an unfeasible road, and it can only be said that the traffic conditions in Northeast China during the Qin and Han dynasties were quite bad. At this time, there is no Shanhaiguan, the Shanhaiguan area in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is called "Jieshi", in the southwest seashore of Suizhong County, Liaoning Province, about 30 miles away from Shanhaiguan in the west. Therefore, Cao Cao once wrote the poem "Watching the Sea", which was in the place of Jieshi.

Now it is the rainy season in summer, but this year the weather is abnormal, high temperature, but it does not rain, the weather is dry and dry, it is the most suitable to take the coastal road, but Zhang Yan is worried about the rain, once it rains, the coastal road will become a country, and you can't walk if you want to.

For the sake of insurance, Zhang Yan chose to go to Lulongse.

Therefore, Zhang Yan led tens of thousands of cavalry to Lulongsai, the cavalry had high mobility, set off in the morning, and arrived in the afternoon.

Lulongsai is a city built on a mountain, with three walls forming a "sun" shaped defense system. The periphery main city wall is five zhang high, three zhang wide, one hundred zhang long, is piled up by the stone block from the inside to the outside, and the center erects one or two zhang high city tower, called Wangri Tower.

At both ends of the main city wall, auxiliary walls were built along the mountain, and there was also a floor on each wall. Standing on the plum mountain is called the plum building, and the building on the cloud mountain is called the cloud building. It starts with the auxiliary walls on both sides and extends further up the hill.

The Great Han built a wall of about 200 li for Lu Longsai to prevent the invasion of the Hu people. One hundred steps back from the main city wall, between the two mountains, a tall city tower was built again, the height and width of the city wall are the same as the main city wall, fifty zhang long, there is a floor named Lu Long.

The two sides are connected to the main city wall by stone walls, and on both sides are two columns of soldiers' barracks, and further back, a hundred paces apart, is the crescent tower facing the official road. This city wall is four zhang high, two zhang wide, eighty steps long, and there is a floor called Crescent Moon Tower. On both sides of the area were storehouses for storing grain and grass, horse sheds and wooden huts for the treatment of wounded soldiers.

Lu Longsai is very exquisitely built, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the army can also achieve the effect of attacking and retreating.

After Zhang Yan led the army to rest for a while in Lulongsai, he prepared dry food and water early the next morning, and officially embarked on the expedition to Wuhuan.

Because, once out of Lulongsai, there is no one within a radius of hundreds of miles, and if you are not familiar with the terrain here, it is very likely that you will be trapped within a radius of hundreds of miles and will not be able to get out.

This hundreds of miles of uninhabited land is a stone carving formation specially used by the Han Dynasty to defend against the Hu people, and by skilled craftsmen, arranged according to the principle of Fuxi gossip. Therefore, when the Hu people invade the Han Dynasty, they will definitely not take Lulongsai, but choose the coastal road, which goes straight to the heart of the Han Dynasty.

In this way, Lulongsai loses the meaning of defense, but as a military defense system, Lulongsai is still a representative building of Youzhou.

Tian Chou used to be an officer in Lu Longsai and was very familiar with the terrain here, so this time, Tian Chou was the guide, and Zhang Yan was not worried about not being able to get out of Lu Longsai.

Early the next morning, tens of thousands of troops, led by Zhang Yan, led by Tian Chou, officially went out of the fortress, and the Wuhuan people were about to face a catastrophe...... (To be continued......)
