Chapter 236: Facing the Hun Army (2)

After Zhao Xin heard this, he was also shocked, he knew that there were more than 10,000 people in the Yanjian army stationed in Yanmen, and it was impossible for the plateau to come to Yanmen to inspect without some guards, so the defenders of Yanmen should be at least about 15,000 people now.

Although Zhao Xin did not understand military affairs, he also knew that Gao Yuan had helped Li Mu defeat the Qin army before, and later defeated the 200,000 Yan army with 50,000 or 60,000 troops, so whether it was the military talent of the plateau or the combat effectiveness of the Wu'an army, it should not be underestimated.

So Zhao Xin hurriedly said: "Dadanghu, now there are at least 20,000 or 30,000 garrisons in Yanmen Pass, and the lessons of the last defeat must be remembered, so please don't be careless." ”

Karun laughed and said: "This defeat was only because we were unprepared, so we were caught off guard by the plateau, and now I have been prepared, and the number of troops has more than doubled, even if the number is less than him, but our Hun warriors, all of them can be one as ten, what are you afraid of." ”

Zhao Xin secretly regretted in his heart, originally in order to say that the Xiongnu invaded the south, so he also deliberately degraded the plateau, deliberately said that the plateau was useless, only because of the relationship with Li Mu, he was pushed as the leader by the people of Daijun, and hid the talent of the plateau and the strength of the Wu'an army. The result was counterproductive, and although it moved Karune, it also raised Carune's pride and arrogance.

But now that he said it, he couldn't get it back, because Zhao Xin could only find some other reasons to persuade Karun, and said: "Dadanghu, all the Hun warriors can fight well, of course I know." It is better to wait for the army of the Right Xianwang to arrive, concentrate the superior forces, and then attack Yanmen County, which can also reduce the losses of the Xiongnu warriors. ”

Karun glared at him and said sharply: "Speaking of which, we still have to wait for the arrival of the army of the Right Sage King, do you think that I can't win the plateau with my army alone?" ”

Zhao Xin was shocked, and hurriedly said: "There, there, the big boss misunderstood, I just don't want the casualties of the Hun warriors to be too large, it's completely for the sake of the Huns." The Hun warriors were brave and good at fighting, how could they not win the plateau? ”

Karun snorted and said, "Okay, then you can follow me into battle, show me the way, and see how I can capture the plateau alive." ”

Zhao Xin secretly complained in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, and now he had to resign himself to fate.

In fact, Karun insisted on sending troops alone to attack Yanmen County and attack the plateau, in addition to arrogance, there was another reason, that is, he lost 2,5600 Hun soldiers in the last battle, so he went back to see the head beard of the right sage king, and he couldn't explain it, he would definitely be punished by the head beard, and demotion was inevitable, so Karun had to establish a great merit to offset this mistake. If you can capture Yanmen County or seize the plateau, it can be regarded as such a great achievement.

So on the very next day, Karun left only nearly 1,000 old Hun soldiers to stay in the camp of Zhumaze, and he himself led the camp of about 7,000 Hun soldiers to the south. Zhujianze is more than 300 miles away from Yanmen County, and the Xiongnu soldiers are all one person with two horses, so in one day, the Xiongnu army walked out of a distance of nearly 200 miles, rested for a night in the middle, and then continued to advance.

After the Hun army had traveled more than 20 miles, the Huns' reconnaissance soldiers came to report to Karun that they had found an army in front, numbering about 2,000 people, all of them cavalry, and according to the Hun soldiers who had participated in the previous battle, the clothes and armor were the same, so it could be considered the same army.

When Karun heard this, he immediately ordered the Hun army to attack this army.

This army was sent by the plateau to lure the enemy horses, so the two sides fought, and before they could fight, the Wu'an army was defeated by the Xiongnu army, and the soldiers turned their horses and fled eastward.

Because the strength of the Xiongnu was far greater than that of the Wu'an army this time, Karun did not doubt it, but laughed loudly and immediately ordered the Xiongnu army to chase after him. So the Hun soldiers urged their horses one after another, chasing the Wu'an army behind, but this time the Wu'an army was also a full cavalry army, and the Hun army couldn't catch up.

However, the direction in which the Wu'an army fled was the direction of Shiling Village, where the Xiongnu army was going to march, and after this while, the Xiongnu army was less than fifty miles away from Shiling Village, so Karun did not care, and ordered the army to continue to advance and kill to Shiling Village. And Zhao Xin also rode a horse, followed the Hun army, and was very happy to see that the Hun army defeated the Wu'an army, and felt that he could finally get out of this evil breath.

The group walked for nearly two hours, when the Xiongnu army had approached the village of Shiling, where someone came to report to Karun that they had found grazing horses, cattle and sheep in the left front.

When Karun heard this, he immediately rode his horse to the left side of the procession, climbed a slope, and watched with his hands on a canopy, only to see that three or four miles away, there were indeed quite a few flocks, not to mention more than 10,000 heads, a large area of white flowers, and hundreds of cattle and horses were mixed in them. Vaguely, it can be seen that many villagers are driving these horses, cattle, sheep and livestock towards the direction of an earthen wall in the distance. There were Hun soldiers who reported to Karun that it was the wall of Shiling Village.

At this time, many Xiongnu soldiers are very familiar, although this time out, the Xiongnu army has robbed nearly 100,000 sheep, thousands of cattle and horses, but no one is too little, because in the grassland, horses, cattle and sheep are the representatives of wealth, and can even replace gold, copper money, become the intermediary currency of goods transactions. Because they were in the middle and lower classes, the Xiongnu families basically did not accumulate currency, but bartered cattle directly.

And according to the regulations of the Huns, they can keep half of the livestock, money, materials and other things they rob, and the other half will be handed over to the Xiongnu magnates, so the more they pick, the more the Hun soldiers will get, so there are many soldiers around Karun who have persuaded Karun to quickly grab this batch of horses, cattle, sheep and livestock, and if they wait, they will rush back to the village.

Of course, Karun also knew the value of horses, cattle and sheep on the grassland, and judging from the current situation, Karun didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so Karun immediately ordered a robbery.

With Karun's order, the Hun soldiers urged their horses and rushed towards the grazing place, and they scrambled one by one, for fear that they would be one step behind and be preempted by others.

Seeing that some Xiongnu soldiers were killed, the grazing villagers also threw down horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock and ran towards the village. The Hun soldiers did not bother to chase them, but immediately robbed horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock. However, horses, cattle and sheep will not honestly wait for the Hun soldiers to catch, running around, screaming, but also attracted a lot of Hun soldiers to block and rob, some soldiers simply jumped off the war horse to catch, and some people were overturned by horses, were knocked down by sheep, and some people took out lassoes, to drag cattle and horses, and some soldiers fought in order to compete for livestock, and the whole scene was very chaotic.

In fact, such a situation was very common in the previous raids of the Hun army, so Karun did not feel anything bad, on the contrary, watching the Hun soldiers capture livestock, he felt very funny, and laughed on horseback.

At this time, Zhao Xinzema came to Karun's side and said, "Big boss, this doesn't seem to be good." ”

Karun snorted and said, "What's so bad?" ”

Although during this period of time, Zhao Xin encountered a lot of great changes, and his mind has matured a lot, but after all, he has not experienced the battle formation, and he does not know much about military affairs, and it seems to be smooth sailing to follow the Hun army all the way over, but in Zhao Xin's heart, he faintly feels that something is wrong, but he also said that it is not right there, until the Hun soldiers began to coax the livestock, Zhao Xin's feeling became stronger and stronger, so he rushed up to remind Karun.

But Zhao Xin couldn't answer Karun's question for a while, and after a while, he said: "Isn't this too chaotic, if at this time, Shang Yuan's army comes over, how can we deal with it?" ”

Karun laughed and said, "The army of the plateau is coming, didn't the army of the plateau just now run away from the wolf?" Where is the army of the plateau now? ”

Zhao Xinxiang looked around, and couldn't speak, after all, he didn't know if the army on the plateau was there now, and whether it would come over. And Karun said: "When we finish robbing these horses, cattle, sheep and livestock, we will immediately attack Shiling Village, and we will spend the night in the village to rest tonight, and tomorrow we will attack Yanmen Pass, this time we must play a game to seize which plateau." ”

―――――――― dividing line ――――――――― dividing line―――――――― in fact, the movement of the Xiongnu army has always been closely watched by the plateau, and after the Xiongnu army defeated the luring army sent by the Wu'an army, the notification of the movement of the Xiongnu army became twice an hour. Therefore, all the movements of the Xiongnu army are also under the control of the plateau.

After the Xiongnu arrived near Shiling Village, Jiang Huanwu and Ling Feng retreated to Shiling Village, joined the plateau, and prepared to besiege the Xiongnu.

Gao Yuan also took Li Yinghong, Yuan Xuan and others to step on the wall of Shiling Village to observe the actions of the Xiongnu army. After seeing the chaos of the Xiongnu army because of the looting of livestock, Gao Yuan was also completely relieved, it seems that the Xiongnu army has been completely deceived and entered the encirclement of the Wu'an army.

At this time, the villagers who were pretending to graze outside fled back to the village, and Yuan Xuan said: "Lord, I think the time has come, and I should immediately notify the other armies to attack." ”

Gao Yuan also nodded and said, "Yes, immediately light the wolf smoke and order the ambushed troops from all walks of life to attack, and we are also ready to attack." ”
