There are many soldiers and horses in Tuyuhun, and the only few pontoon bridges naturally cannot allow the tens of thousands of troops who fled to pass through the pontoon bridges in a short time, but the main force of the Jin army did not stop pursuing, and there was an attempt to annihilate all the Tuyuhun army.

In order to avoid the pursuit of the Jin army, a large number of Tuyuhun soldiers jumped into the Western Han River in a panic and tried to swim to the opposite bank.

The water of the Western Han Dynasty is a small river, but it is also five or six zhang wide and more than one zhang deep.

Moreover, the Tuyuhun soldiers are all in armor, wearing heavy armor, which increases the difficulty of swimming, and soon, a large number of Tuyuhun soldiers sink to the bottom of the water, and some soldiers who have not yet sunk to the bottom are struggling violently on the water.

Looking at the chaotic crossing, Hua Anzhong was very excited, as long as he dealt a fatal blow to the main army of Tuyuhun, he would definitely be able to force Tuyuhun to succumb, thus ensuring peace in the west for decades.

"Soldiers, attack with all your might, and leave no one behind." Hua An once again gave the most severe order to pursue and kill, and personally brandished a big knife to slash and kill the Tuyuhun soldiers.

The tens of thousands of horses under his command naturally became more and more courageous, and constantly drove the Tuyuhun soldiers into the Western Han water, allowing the turbulent Western Han water to swallow the lives of the Tuyuhun soldiers.

The battle was fierce and brutal, and after nearly an hour of desperate fighting, tens of thousands of Tuyuhun soldiers, except for the soldiers who died in battle and fled the crossing, the rest sank under the riverbed of the Western Han River.

The last group of Tuyuhun soldiers, in order to cover the main force to break through, cut off several pontoon bridges at the ferry. As a result, the army of Hua'an could not easily cross the river to pursue.

"General, the pontoon bridge has been cut by Tuyuhun, and our army cannot continue the pursuit." The general hurriedly said.

Hua An looked at the Tuyuhun soldiers who had fled to the other bank, and ordered: "Order the whole army, stay put, and the baggage battalion immediately prepare the planks needed to build the pontoon bridge, be fast." ”

"Yes, General." The general answered, and hurriedly went to give the order.

Wang San rode over and looked at Hua'an. He said softly, "Big brother." In this battle, our army annihilated nearly half of the Tuyuhun army, with a loss of less than 1,000 people, and our army won a great victory! ”

Hua An smiled. said: "Our army has indeed won a great victory. But that's not enough. In order to prevent Tuyuhun from attacking the rear of our army in the future, our army must continue to pursue, and it is best to annihilate all the 50,000 troops of Tuyuhun. In this way, Tuyuhun Dashan Yu Ye Yan can be afraid, so that he obediently guards his own territory, and he will not have the intention of entering the Great Jin. ”

Hearing this, Wang San nodded, and agreed: "Big brother is right, our army will continue to pursue until all the Tuyuhun into Kou's army is annihilated." ”

Hua An smiled and nodded.

Half of Tuyuhun's army escaped the ferry, and all the soldiers had a feeling that they had escaped, because the ferry was not very wide, in order to avoid the continuous fire of the Jin crossbowmen on the opposite bank, they ran west from the ferry for five miles, and stopped temporarily in an open field.

Many soldiers were tired lying on the ground, some soldiers who swam past were busy taking off their soaked armor, and the wounded soldiers were also checking their wounds, in order to prevent the main force of the Jin army from building pontoon bridges to chase and kill, the Tuyuhun army sent many sentries to closely watch every move in the direction of the ferry, as long as the Jin army began to build pontoon bridges, they would immediately leave the open field and continue to flee westward.

These careless Tuyuhun soldiers would never have dreamed that a large amount of black powder was buried under the open ground where they were temporarily resting, and at the same time, there were 10,000 main infantry of the Jin army in the surrounding woods.

"General, the Tuyuhun rout army really stopped here, when will our army attack?" The general looked at Chen Ting and asked in a low voice.

Chen Ting carefully observed the Tuyuhun army in the distance, and said softly: "The Tuyuhun army has more than 20,000 men, fortunately, our army has been prepared, and ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle." ”

Hearing the order, the general hurriedly conveyed the order to prepare for battle.

When the 10,000 infantry soldiers heard this, they immediately grabbed their weapons and prepared to charge for the kill, and the soldiers in charge of lighting the fire held the flint with both hands, ready to light the fuse at any time.

In the direction of the ferry, the baggage battalion, under the cover of the main army, had already begun to lay pontoon bridges, and this action was soon seen by the Tuyuhun sentinels.

As soon as they heard that the Jin army was going to build a pontoon bridge, the Tuyuhun general immediately ordered the whole army to immediately set off and retreat to the west.

Under the orders of the Tuyuhun generals, the soldiers under his command began to get up one after another, and prepared to retreat westward along the main road.

Seeing that the Tuyuhun army was showing signs of leaving, Chen Ting immediately made a decision and ordered the fuse to be ignited.

The "hiss-hiss......" lead burned and made a small sound, but the Tuyuhun army was moving, so they could not hear this subtle sound, and it was even more difficult for them to notice the faint green smoke coming out of the fuse burning.

The lead burned extremely quickly, and it didn't take long for it to burn to the end.

"Boom, ......boom, boom, boom" In the open area where the Tuyuhun troops were assembled, violent explosions occurred one after another, and countless Tuyuhun soldiers were killed and injured on the spot.

The panicked Tuyuhun soldiers, not understanding what was happening, began to run around, which further aggravated the confusion of the team.

Seeing that the Tuyuhun soldiers in the open field were already in chaos, Chen Ting immediately made a decision and ordered: "Soldiers, kill ......" After speaking, he personally led his own soldiers to kill him.

"Kill ......" 10,000 Jin army infantry, lined up in an offensive formation, and roared to the open area to kill.

Seeing the Jin army and horses ambushed around, Tuyuhun soldiers, they were shocked, at this time, they were unable to resist the attack of the Jin army with heavy casualties, and in desperation, they had to flee to the west.

The 10,000 infantry under Chen Ting's command, like a tiger entering the flock of sheep, killed the Tuyuhun army, constantly harvested the lives of the Tuyuhun soldiers, and pursued westward to expand the results of the battle.

To the east of the Western Han River, Hua'an and all the soldiers under his command heard a violent explosion, and all the soldiers were naturally familiar with this familiar sound.

"Big brother, it seems that General Chen Ting has already fought with Tuyuhun's rout, and we must also kill it quickly to reinforce General Chen Ting." Wang San said loudly.

Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "Let the soldiers of the baggage battalion speed up, be fast." ”

"Yes, big brother." Wang San responded, and then ordered the baggage battalion to speed up.

Since the ferry crossing of the Western Han River is only five or six zhang wide, it did not take long for the pontoon bridge to be built.

Hua An stretched out his hand and ordered: "Soldiers, follow the general across the pontoon bridge and chase and kill the Tuyuhun army." After speaking, he rode his horse onto the pontoon bridge and ran towards the west bank of the Western Han River, and the soldiers under his command naturally followed.

When Hua'an led the main army and arrived at the open land five miles west of the ferry, the battle was already over, and after this ambush, the Tuyuhun army suffered another fatal blow, most of the soldiers were killed, and only less than 10,000 horses escaped.

"General, our army has been chasing and killing for several miles, and there are still nearly 10,000 Tuguhun troops who have escaped." Chen Ting led the army back to the open field and loudly reported the battle situation to Hua'an.

Hua An nodded, and said: "Yes, it's already very good, now, eighty percent of Tuyuhun's troops have been wiped out by our army, and the remaining less than 10,000 horses are not to be feared, our army can continue to pursue and approach Bailan." ”

Seeing that Hua'an was going to lead the army to continue the pursuit, and to approach the center of Tuyuhun, Chen Ting clenched his fists and said loudly: "General, Tuyuhun is located in the bitter cold land of the northwest, and lives on nomadism. Please also think twice. ”

Hua'an naturally understands Chen Ting's worries, if you want to deal with a nomad like Tuyuhun in the northwest wasteland, it is an extremely difficult thing, whether you can find the Tuyuhun army smoothly is a problem, even if the army can occupy Bailan, but Tuyuhun lives by water and grass, and its main force can play hide and seek with itself in the uninhabited wilderness, so that it is difficult for the army under his command to withdraw in a short time, once something happens in Liangzhou, the situation is a little bad

"General Chen is too worried, the general has no intention of confronting Tuyuhun for a long time, and this time he continues to pursue in order to give Tuyuhun a wake-up call, so that they will not dare to enter Kouwudu County lightly in the future, so as to ensure the safety of the hinterland of Liangzhou and Yizhou." Huaan explained softly.

When Chen Ting heard this, he was immediately relieved.

"Big brother, even if Tuyuhun is afraid of the strength of our army and doesn't want to be an enemy of my Great Jin, but Wang Run and other rebels in Shu are still in Tuyuhun, and if these rebellions are not eliminated for a day, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make waves." Wang San said loudly.

Hua An heard this, nodded, he was most worried about this, this time, the reason why the Tuyuhun army dared to enter Kouwudu County was not only related to the promise of the envoy of Zhao State, but also inseparable from the persuasion of the traitor Wang Oath, that is to say, if Wang Oath and other Shuzhong rebels continue to stay in Tuyuhun, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not continue to persuade Tuyuhun to enter Kouwudu County when the Jin army is in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, so that it will be a big threat to the rear of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"The rebellion in Shu must be eliminated, they have survived for several years, and now, it is time to get rid of them completely." Huaan said loudly.

When Chen Ting heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "General, it is better for us to send a messenger to Bailan and clearly tell Sù Tuguhun Dashan Yu Ye Yan to let him hand over all the rebellions in Shuzhong, otherwise, we will do our best to exterminate them." ”

Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth and said with appreciation: "What General Chen said is extremely true, and it should be so, I will write a letter and send a messenger to Bailan." After speaking, he glanced at the soldiers beside him.

The soldiers understood, hurriedly went to prepare paper and pen, and quickly brought up the four treasures of the study. (To be continued......)
