With the help of reinforcements, Liu Yannian became full of confidence, and he immediately led the army to attack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the Shu army did not rest this night, in addition to setting up a horse rejection, but also dug a lot of trenches, piled earth and stones as a base, and built a lot of defensive positions, so that the attack of the Hun cavalry became countless smooth.

However, no matter how great the difficulty is, it can't shake Liu Yannian's determination to recapture the ferry, Liu Yannian poured all his troops, that is, he wants to annihilate all the Shu troops who crossed the river in a battle, not to mention that he occupies an absolute advantage in troops, even if the Shu army sets up some small obstacles, how can it stop the advance of the Huns' iron hooves?

The Shu army naturally fought desperately, arrows rained down, swords and guns were like forests, and built an impregnable defense line in front of the ferry, blocking the Huns to the death and not advancing.

However, what puzzled Liu Yannian was that the number of Shu troops who seemed to participate in the defense was not much different from yesterday, and it stands to reason that after a night of rushing to cross, the number of Shu troops could at least double again, but now it seems that the people and horses of the Shu army have hardly changed, which makes Liu Yannian quite puzzled.

Could it be that the Shu army didn't cross the river much last night? After all, the conditions for crossing the river at night are much worse than during the day, but this is not a reason.

Could it be that the Shu army deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, and then gathered strength to counterattack? Perhaps this is the real motive of the Shu army.

Anyway, Liu Yannian is not afraid at all, he doesn't believe it, his army is all pressed, and he can't take a small military crossing?

After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the Hun army has broken through several lines of defense of the Shu army, and when the victory is in sight, a horse suddenly galloped forward, rushed to the front, rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and reported urgently: "Qiqi Marshal, the Shu army suddenly attacked Zuoguocheng this morning, and Zuoguocheng has been lost!" ”

"What?" Liu Yannian was originally riding on a horse, but when he heard the news, his face suddenly turned pale, his eyes turned dark, and he almost fell off the horse.

It turned out that the reason why there were few soldiers in Shu was here, they did not trap the ferry, but took the opportunity to sneak attack Zuoguo City, Liu Yannian did everything he could, but he didn't count this step, and suddenly his face was like ashes.

It all started last night.

The speed of the Shu army crossing the river was much faster than Liu Yannian imagined, after crossing the two infantry armies of the Hubu Army and the Yongan Army in advance, the next to cross the river were the cavalry of the Tiger Cavalry Army and the Qinglong Army, and the three giants of the Shu Army, Liu Yin, Fu Yan and Luo Xian, also arrived at the east bank with the large army.

With the arrival of the cavalry, Gao Yuan and Luo Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they were pressed and beaten by the Hun cavalry all day long, the infantry of the Shu army was indeed quite difficult, and now after the cavalry of the Shu army is in place, it is completely possible to ride on horseback, and the hard days of the infantry are finally over.

Luo Xian also told Liu Yin that in the next day's battle, the cavalry could take the lead.

However, Liu Yin has other plans, Liu Yannian's attack on the first day was frustrated, and the second day will inevitably increase reinforcements to attack again, and after Liu Yannian continuously transferred troops, the rear Zuoguo City will inevitably be empty, if the Shu army can seize this opportunity, take Zuoguo City in one fell swoop, and it will be easy to lay the first victory since the Eastern Crossing.

Liu Yin discussed his plan with Fu Yan and Luo Xian, and Fu Yan and Luo Xian immediately agreed. The only hidden worry is that the Shu army is not too familiar with the road environment, and must avoid the Hun reinforcements on the main road, whether the troops can reach the city of Zuo Guo overnight, is the biggest question.

Obviously, Liu Yin has already done enough homework in this regard, in order to enter the state this time, Liu Yin has sent scout agents a few months ago, quietly infiltrated the territory of the state, and the topography of the state and the garrison of the Huns to find out, now Liu Yin has at hand, not only has the geographical map of the mountains and rivers in various parts of the state, but also the number of troops stationed in various places is also clear at a glance.

Liu Yin decided to personally lead the Tiger Cavalry and the Qinglong Army to march from one of the small roads, and the defense of the General Ferry was handed over to Fu Yan and Luo Xian to be responsible.

All the way over the mountains and mountains, Liu Yin led the army in the dawn of the day, arrived at the city of Zuoguocheng, Liu Yannian has already transferred all the 50,000 troops of Zuoguocheng, and now the defense of Zuoguocheng is only a small group of sporadic Xiongnu troops.

And Zuo Guocheng was completely defenseless, and when the rooster crowed, the gate of Zuo Guocheng was opened as always, and the fierce battle situation of the army crossing hundreds of miles away did not seem to affect it at all.

Since the Xiongnu announced the establishment of the Han State, Zuoguo City has become the location of its capital, and Liu Bao's palace was built in Zuoguo City. However, compared with a big city like Jinyang in Bingzhou, the scale of Zuoguo City is much smaller, and the population is naturally smaller, and inside and outside the city, in and out, are all Huns, and you can't see half of the Han people.

When Liu Yin arrived near Zuoguo City, he was not in a hurry to attack, because all the cavalry he brought was no siege equipment, which was only suitable for field warfare and was not conducive to siege, so it was only suitable for outwitting and not for forcible attack.

Liu Yin turned back to Fu and said, "Zicheng, you take a small team of people to disguise themselves as Huns and take the city gate." Liu Yin saw that the Huns were completely unprepared, and there were not even a few soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city, so he immediately arranged for Fu to lead people to attack the city in disguise.

Among the Shu army, there were naturally a lot of captured Hun uniforms and various weapons, Fu Zhi immediately asked people to take dozens of sets, found a few soldiers who could speak Huns, changed the Huns' military uniforms, and looked at the city gate.

The city gate in the morning seems very deserted, there are few people coming and going, last night Zuoguocheng sent a large army to march, tossed for most of the night, until the last group of Hun cavalry left Zuoguocheng in the second half of the night to restore calm. The Hun soldiers who stayed in the city did not sleep well, they had to open the city gate and stand guard as soon as it was dawn, and fatigue was written all over the faces of those soldiers, and the whole person was a little listless, lazily stationed with spears, looking ahead.

At this time, dozens of horsemen galloped from a distance from the direction of the west of the city, and the sentry suddenly stood up straight, his face was a little nervous, and when he saw clearly that it was his own cavalry, he relaxed again, and the dozens of horsemen quickly came to the front, and the sentry asked: "Didn't you just leave with the brigade, why did you come back again?"
