Chapter 892: The Last Battle Against the Xiongnu
"Wen Xuan, why did you conclude that Liu Qin and Zhao Gu would send troops to attack, if they didn't fight, wouldn't your arrangement be in vain?" The news of the victory kept coming, and Fu Yan couldn't help but ask Liu Yindao with interest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time Liu Yin's plan to transfer the tiger from the mountain was very successful, he deliberately put on a show of giving up the attack on the calf village, and led the army to the east, in order to make this play realistic, Liu Yin really sent a few troops to move eastward, on the calf mountain, you can see it really, but there is no element of fake.
It's a pity that Liu Qin and Zhao Gu couldn't see the Shu army, except for the large group of men and horses going east, the Hubu army, the Yongan army and the Wudang Fei army stayed, hidden behind the other peaks at Jingchengkou, and from the direction of the calf village, it could not be found in any case.
Liu Yin smiled and said: "The Huns guard the Baoqian Mountain, there is only one purpose, to prevent our army from advancing in the direction of Jizhou, if we give up the siege of Baoqian Village and turn to the east, Liu Qin and Zhao Gu will definitely not be able to sit still, if they can't complete the task of stopping our army, they will not be able to deal with Liu Yuan." They didn't dare to launch a pursuit of our army, but they still had the courage to attack a target like the baggage battalion, so I deliberately put the baggage battalion under their noses, and it is estimated that they would not be able to refuse such a temptation. ”
Fu Yan also smiled and said: "Wenxuan, not only did you hide the Huns, but even we were hidden by you, until now, we didn't know that you were going to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and wanted to capture the old people, and two days earlier I thought that you really wanted to give up the calf village and go to fight Zhending." ”
Liu Yin said: "If Liu Qin and Zhao Gu really want to be shrinking turtles all the time, then they can only fight first, anyway, there is no rear battle, it is not the first time." ”
Zhang Le and Fu Zhu each carried a bloody head to report the victory, the battle of the Shu army won a complete victory, a total of more than 20,000 Hun troops annihilated, in one fell swoop to take the calf village.
At the same time, under the leadership of Huang Chonghe and Zhan Hong, the advance corps composed of the Tiger Cavalry Army, the Yang'an Army, and the Longxi Army had arrived at the foot of Zhending City.
Because Liu Yuan arranged the center of gravity of defense on the line of Weize Pass - Jingchengkou, and at this moment Liu Yuan was leading the main force to fight in the area of Anping and Hejian, Zhending had no troops to defend it, almost no different from the empty city, the Shu army took Zhending without much effort, and then controlled the entire Changshan County.
After Liu Yin led the army to break through the defense line of Jingchengkou, Yanghu also led the army from Leping to Jin, and took the Zhao State in one fell swoop, echoing with Liu Yin in the north and south, forming a flanking attack on the counties of Jizhou.
Before Liu Yin and Yanghu arrived in Jizhou, the Huns still occupied a considerable advantage in Jizhou.
After several years of continuous competition, the forces of Jin, Shu and Hungary have also been relatively balanced, each of them controls some territory, although most of the territory controlled by the three parties is relatively fragmented and divided from each other, but the overall situation is still relatively stable, because no one can help anyone between the three parties, Wen Yang, Luo Xian and Liu Xuan are fighting for each other, maintaining a stalemate.
And the impasse also represents a kind of balance.
However, when Liu Yuan led more than 100,000 troops into Jizhou, this balance was quickly broken, after Liu Yuan and Liu Xuan joined forces, the Huns had more than 200,000 troops, in terms of troops, far more than the sum of the troops of Wenyang and Luo Xian, Liu Yuan naturally would not let go of the opportunity to unify Jizhou, in Anping, Hejian, Julu and other fronts, launched a large-scale attack on the two armies of Shu and Jin.
At this time, Wenyang still refused to conduct joint operations with the Shu army, and he would rather abandon many county towns in Anping and Guangping counties and retreat to the south than cooperate with the Shu army to fight the Huns' counterattack in Anping.
The retreat of the Jin army made Luo Xian's situation even more difficult, but Luo Xian still insisted on maneuvering with the Huns in the area of Anping and Hejian, relying on the fast and flexible combat characteristics of the cavalry of the Shu army, and carried out interspersed operations in great detours and depths, effectively blocking the attack of the Huns.
The vast plains in central Hebei did also provide a stage for the performance of the cavalry of the Shu army, and the characteristics of the cavalry of the Shu army were brought into full play.
If it encounters a large army of the Huns, the cavalry of the Shu army will take a detour and not have a head-on conflict with it, and if it encounters a small force of the Huns, the Shu army will eat it unceremoniously.
In the continuous encroachment, the Huns also suffered heavy losses, so angry that Liu Yuan was biting the root of his teeth, but the strength of the Shu army was not strong, but it could make trouble for them all the time, so that the Huns were tired but there was nothing to do.
In terms of speed, the Huns are not able to catch up with the Shu army equipped with the best saddle stirrups, in terms of mobile combat capabilities, the Huns are even far behind, several battles are fought, the Huns simply can't keep up with the rhythm of the Shu army, if it is not for the Huns to win more, the whole battle is really difficult to predict.
At this time, the armies of Liu Yin and Yanghu occupied Changshan County and Zhao State respectively, and the situation in the entire Jizhou suddenly turned upside down again.
Liu Yuan was only a month and a half earlier than the Jin and Shu armies in Jizhou, in fact, he did not have a long time in Jizhou - in fact, he did not have any scenery, except for forcing Wen Yang back, the battle against Luo Xian has always been anxious - and the arrival of Liu Yin and Yanghu, the battle situation in Jizhou will become confusing.
Yanghu continued to march to the southeast, successively capturing many county towns in Guang'an County, such as Xiangguo, Yiyang, Wu'an, and Handan, and joined forces with Wenyang in Yecheng.
Yanghu was originally the governor of Hebei, as the assassin of Jizhou, Wen Yang was his direct subordinate, Yanghu fought in Bingzhou, flawlessly took care of Jizhou, so in the past three years, the military and political power of Jizhou has been controlled by Wen Yang, but after this meeting, Wen Yang naturally transferred power to Yanghu and accepted Yanghu's command.
After the Jin army joined the division, the strength increased a lot, the total number of troops exceeded 120,000, the strength of the army was strong, and a heavy army zone was formed in the southwest of Jizhou, for Liu Yuan, who was in the middle of Jizhou, the pressure was naturally infinite.
And Liu Yuan knows better that the biggest threat to him is not in Yecheng, but Liu Yin, who has occupied Changshan, although Liu Yin is temporarily unable to meet with Luo Xian's right army, but Liu Yin is in the north Luo Xian in the south, plus the Yanghu army in the southwest, has formed a three-sided encirclement of the Xiongnu.
The last battle against the Xiongnu is also about to kick off. (To be continued.) )
