Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This Xiongnu army that raided Jinyang totaled more than 21,000 people. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) It was personally commanded by Liu He, the prince of the Xiongnu Han State and the king of Zuoxian, including the troops of many Xiongnu five powerful chieftains, such as Liu Yuan and the 6 kings of the left and right who were later crowned by Dadan. They were originally stationed at the Mengjin ferry of the Yellow River in Hanoi, and were the main force of the confrontation between the Xiongnu and the Luoyang forbidden army of the imperial court, and there were as many as 43 Xiongnu warriors in the army who held positions in more than 10,000 households.
It only took one day and one night for this army to sweep through the entire Shangdang County, and successively captured many important places such as Yiguan, Taihang, Bai, and Fukou. Of the more than 4,000 defenders deployed by Liu Kun here, most of them were killed except for more than 600 people under the henchmen of the rebel general Long Jimeng, who were coerced into the Xiongnu army.
In addition, more than a dozen dock forts and cottages that hindered the march of the Xiongnu were breached, and the residents, young and old, men and women, were also killed.
In order to ensure the suddenness of the action, the Huns did not take any rest after the capture of Shangdang. The next morning, they continued to gallop north, killing all the people they encountered along the way. And the cities such as Xiangyuan and Wuxiang on their route were slaughtered without exception.
It was only when they broke through to the vicinity of Yangyi that the advance of the Huns encountered a small force of sentry cavalry of the Jin army. This Jin cavalry was unexpectedly slippery, and under the siege of the Hun cavalry, nearly half of them escaped. The Huns naturally didn't know that what they encountered was the Yueshi Gong personal guard led by Wang Xiu, and seeing that it was only a hundred miles away from Jinyang, they simply stopped hiding their whereabouts and rushed to Jinyang with great fanfare.
Liu He, the king of Zuoxian, wore a crown of armor and rode a tall horse at the forefront of the whole army. Hundreds of elite cavalrymen surrounded him with high teeth and big teeth, showing great might and majesty.
Liu He freely controlled the reins with one hand, holding the horsewhip in his right hand, and struck his thigh again and again. From time to time, he looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and he almost couldn't suppress his excitement.
Liu Kun is indeed a rare brave general among the Jin people, but it is a pity that he lacks the wisdom to know people. The dragon Jimeng he promoted to guard the party turned out to be the internal response of the secret communication with the Xiongnu for several years...... Maybe it was really the blessing of the gods, which made the Jin people themselves go to a dead end.
Da Dan Yu looked at the candle, and he had already calculated everything, Liu Kun's troops had been completely attracted to the south of Taiyuan at this time, and there would not be any strength in Jinyang City that was enough to resist the Xiongnu army. With the male soldiers under his command, he destroyed Jinyang, which was really like Mount Tai crushing eggs. As long as you capture Jinyang and merge the thousands of miles of fertile land in the state, it will truly become the territory of the Huns.
Based on the merger of states, Jin can sweep the world and covet artifacts; Retreat can also be the overlord of Northern Xinjiang, without losing the business of risking a single one!
Liu He thought so, and looked at Jinyang, the ancient city, with some excitement.
"This is Jinyang!"
Ignoring the possible threat of a crossbow, he approached about three hundred paces from the wall. At this distance, you can see that the soldiers defending the city wall are quite sparse, and the banners at the head of the city are also scattered, showing the panic of the defenders.
The Jin people at the head of the city noticed themselves and the big people behind them, and they ran to and fro, shouting something. Then some people dressed as generals gathered in this direction and pointed. Liu He took control of the horses, stared at them with his head held high, and a sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that this gesture was very heroic in the eyes of the onlookers, so he kept it for a while.
Liu Hezi Xuantai is the eldest son of Da Dan Yu Liu Yuan. He is tall, behaves in a sassy manner, and is handsome and cool to his father. When he was a teenager, he lived in Luoyang with his father Liu Yuan, and studied classics such as "Poetry", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn" with famous teachers.
He himself used to be self-conscious in literature, but since Liu Yuan's rebellion against the Jin Dynasty, he has been using troops for many years, and he is only able to fight strongly. Liu Cong, Liu Yuan's fourth son and Liu He's half-brother, won successive victories in the great battle with the Jin army and became famous; The strength he has is no longer under Liu He, who is the heir. This made him often secretly vigilant.
Fortunately, Da Danyu's trust in Liu He is the same as ever. Not only transferred more than 20,000 elite people from the Xiongnu headquarters to his command, but also gave him such a task of leading the great merit this time, and his intention to cultivate wings and prestige for his heirs was clearly revealed.
As soon as the troops came this time, the momentum along the way was like a bamboo. Liu He seemed to see the luscious fruit that could be picked by raising his hand on the branch. This is another brilliant victory since the defeat of Sima Teng last year, such a big victory, can greatly establish their prestige, and if they can win over the generals in the war, it will be extremely beneficial to the successor of Da Dan in the future.
"This is Jinyang!" He couldn't help but sigh again.
"During the reign of Zuo Chuanzhao, the Jin State Doctor Zhongxing Muzi led an army to attack Bai Di, and encountered the troops of Wuzhong and Qundi in Dayuan. Bank of China Muzi obeyed Wei Xianzi's construction, destroyed the car for the line, and fought on foot but the enemy. In the end, the enemy was defeated and the land of Taiyuan was captured. A few years later, Zhao Jianzi's retainer Dong An was ordered to build a city on the north bank of Jinshui, which is now Jinyang. β
Liu He sighed: "Zhao Xiangzi took Jinyang as the base and established the hegemony of one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, so there was Li Mu to destroy the ragged, break the Donghu, descend the forest Hu, and my Hun army. And now, the Han family has lost its royal family, the middle summer has lost its unity, and the big single is in the business of the three ancestors of Shao, and the electricity is in the south. Tens of thousands of my Xiongnu elite soldiers arrived at the city of Jinyang, and the foundation of the Han Kingdom was determined to fight here. This moment of significance is all under my own command, isn't it an opportunity given by God? β
There was silence all around.
Liu Heya is good at literature and has a lot of style, but around him are illiterate Hun tigers. When they go into battle, they can speak and sing and ...... Liu Hewen's crepe words, I'm afraid that no one can understand them, right?
Liu He couldn't help but be a little frustrated. He shook his head and asked the general who was with him, who held the position of the Marquis of the Left Bone, "Have all our people already infiltrated the city?" β
Suba was Liu He's close general. Unlike the stout body of the average Huns, he was lean and seemed to be able to be blown down by a gust of wind. But the two scimitars hanging from his waist were several times wider than the usual standard, and obviously added extra weight, proving that he must be a fierce general.
Hearing Liu He's inquiry, Su Buba said respectfully: "I have arranged for a fine messenger who is proficient in Chinese, and General Long has also sent capable men to cooperate. They have entered Jinyang from different city gates, and tonight they will contact the four wealthy families surnamed Tian, Chi, Wang, and Gao, who have always had dealings with us in the city, and ask them to cooperate with our army in attacking the city tomorrow. β
The Xiongnu general, who rode his horse on Liu He's right, sneered: "The Han people are all wall grasses that fall with the wind, and they are used to betraying their clansmen. "This man is about forty years old, with curly temples, pale tan eyes, and a strong and burly body. This person is one of the great chieftains of the Xiongnu who has a strong military force, and his status is no less than that of the kings of the Tu clans.
He Laiguti said loudly: "King Zuoxian, we Huns fight wars, relying on strong soldiers and horses, brave and fierce, and never need the internal response of those Han people. The number of our army is ten times that of the Jin people, and the elite Cheng dΓΉ is also ten times that of the Jin people, and the cities are captured along the way, and the spirit is flourishing. Today is the time to break the city in one fell swoop, so why delay? You now order the siege of the city, and I, Horaiguti, am willing to be the first to charge. Before it gets dark, you'll be able to see the city full of people! β
Liu He felt that this idea was unreliable. Jinyang is indeed weak, but after all, it has been an important border town since the Han and Wei dynasties, and the city is high and deep; Even if the Huns had many soldiers, could they still use cavalry to knock down the city wall? This is a siege, not a hunt!
More critically, this war should not only be considered militarily. What Liu He wanted was an overwhelming, beautiful, and preferably bloodless victory, so as to show his civil and military skills, and show that his literary talent and political strategy played a huge role in the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms, which was by no means different from his younger brothers. Those vulgar people who can only bury their heads in the fight are just Puffle, how can they be entrusted with big things? The prince of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom is me, and I will rely on this victory to completely consolidate my unshakable position!
I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say it at will. Liu He politely responded: "King Horai is really brave...... With the help of King Horai, it is not difficult to capture Jinyang. It's just that even the most ferocious wolves need a well-timed rest. Now that the overall situation has been decided, there is no rush on this day. And the soldiers have been marching and fighting for seven days in a row, and they are very tired. If it is not tonight, let the soldiers rest for a good night, and send people to make ladders and other equipment. Tomorrow, under the cooperation of the outside world, Jinyang can be captured within one day! King Horay, do you think this is good? β
Horaiguti is indispensable.
So Liu He continued to give orders, and he sent two troops to cross the Fenshui and capture Longshan on the west side of Jinyang and Mengshan Mountain on the south side. He himself led the main army of the Xiongnu to set up company camps in the east and north of the city. More than 20,000 male soldiers surrounded Jinyang, the army was mighty, and the sound of drums and horns came and went, deafening.
