Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Commander of the Huns Like a Child's Play
Bu Yi talked to Ran Liang for a few words, and learned that this young man was only fifteen years old, which was really shocking, he wanted to take this young man with him to cultivate, in such an environment, to be able to respond to the situation, command thousands of people to stand by and succeed, this is not something ordinary people can do, not to mention that this person is still so young.
"Report to the General, our front end is under attack. Just when Bu Yi was about to speak, wanting to accept Ran Liang as his son, the scout suddenly came to report, Bu Yi was shocked, he didn't expect that this was the enemy's plan to attack the west, and he didn't have the time to care about Ran Liang anymore, he turned his horse and returned with the cavalry to rescue.
Ran Liang saw the panicked Huns spit out a mouthful of phlegm, he had already seen the intentions of the Iron Army, this old man actually had the kung fu to talk to himself, what the hell. Ran Liang didn't know what opportunity he had lost, being valued by Bu Yi could allow him to quickly ascend to the position, but maybe even if Ran Liang knew, he wouldn't care.
The people sent out by Bu Yi finally found Liu Wei who was still sleeping soundly on his shoulder, Liu Wei was very dissatisfied when he was woken up by Mingyue, but when he heard that the rear army was attacked, the sleepiness disappeared immediately, and he sent someone to inform the forward Jin Ming, while the rear team changed to the front team to rescue the rear army. It didn't take them far to find that the back road was blocked.
The Chinese army under Liu Ji was all the most elite infantry, and they didn't need his order at all, they began to clear the road, and Zuo Song had no other effective means than to entertain him with the only bow and arrow, but this rain reduction also killed nearly a thousand people in this environment. The Huns buried themselves in cleaning up the stones and horse carcasses, and in less than an hour, the Huns with a clear division of labor basically cleaned up the roads, and the next thing was the battle between the two sides.
Although the Huns are ten times as many as Zuo Song, it is difficult to perform in such a narrow Tiger Leaping Valley, nothing matters in this environment, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.
Half an hour later, the stopped Chinese army has not moved again, as soon as the two sides fight, it enters the white heat, people continue to die, the canyon can sometimes be blocked by the corpses of both sides, the warring sides will truce for a while, carry their respective corpses down, and then continue the fighting. After a few years, the rocks on both sides of Tiger Leaping Valley turned a dark red color and became a famous attraction.
At the same time, Chu Yun spent a lot of money to clean up the front end of the Xiongnu rear army, Bu Yi's main forces were concentrated in the middle section, although he also ordered the front section to defend on the spot, but the front end of the rear army was mostly some people, the Iron Blood Army attacked for only a quarter of an hour, they collapsed, the Iron Blood Army began to light fire everywhere, there were too many materials, and they were too scattered, and the time it took for the Iron Blood Army to destroy the materials was more than the time to break through the car formation.
At this time, although Bu Yi, the commander of the rear army, had not yet arrived, Yin Che, the deputy general who was ordered to be stationed, had already received the news, and he did not wait for Bu Yi's order, and immediately took all the hastily assembled cavalry of 2,000 and 5,000 auxiliaries to rescue. The 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Iron Blood Army was burning under the command of Fang Dashan, and when they suddenly encountered Yin Che who led the troops to rescue, both sides were stunned.
Kill!
Kill!
When Fang Dashan saw the enemy, he killed him like he had beaten chicken blood, his favorite thing was to fight, and it was not fun to burn things or something. And Yin Che also immediately ordered his cavalry to go forward to block the first wave of the attack of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, the terrain here is narrow, and the cavalry cannot make a large-scale U-turn at all, so the cavalry will never attack the second wave.
I have to say that Yin Che is indeed old-fashioned, don't look at him as just a partial general, but he has been fighting for ten years, and as long as he survives on the battlefield with these ten years of kung fu, a pig can become an excellent general.
The 1st Cavalry Brigade collided with the Hun cavalry, and the huge collision sound kept coming, and the cavalry on both sides could not play on this narrow terrain, and people were constantly trampled to death by horses, and more people were killed by trampling than by the enemy, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded on both sides in just a short time.
Fang Dashan kept killing every enemy with an axe, as for the commander of the first cavalry brigade, he had already thrown it aside, which was why Fang Dashan's limit was the reason why he was a general who commanded thousands of people, and he couldn't control it at all, this guy forgot everything as soon as he got into a fight. His axe method was also taught by Chu Yun, and Chu Yun simply created a powerful axe method, which was enough for an ordinary person like Fang Dashan. Fang Dashan was like killing the gods, reaping the lives of ordinary Hun soldiers. Under the leadership of Fang Dashan, the cavalry brigade was like a divine help, and the two thousand Hun cavalry were defeated and retreated, and they would soon be attached to their infantry.
Yin Che immediately ordered the cavalry to switch from the infantry, but the blocked canyon, wanting to mobilize the infantry before the cavalry, was simply wishful thinking, and Yin Che immediately knew that he had made a huge mistake.
"Report to the governor, the first cavalry brigade and the Hun reinforcements have fought. "Finally, the materials that were several miles long were almost burned, and Chu Yun heard a report that gave him a headache. The 4th Cavalry Brigade kept sending people to inform them of their situation, and the elite Hun infantry wanted to break through the blockade of the 4th Cavalry Brigade at any cost, and the disadvantage of the 4th Cavalry Brigade was exposed, and almost a quarter of the more than 4,000 people were now left. Of course, the casualties of the Huns were several times that of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, but compared to the number of 40,000, this was within the tolerance of the Huns.
"Dog, I told him clearly, clean up when you encounter a small group of enemies, and report immediately if you encounter a large group of enemies Don't get entangled, is his head kicked by a donkey?" Chu Yun was furious, Fang Dashan's private actions were likely to cause more people to die in the Iron Blood Army, you must know that the cavalry of the Iron Blood Army is the foundation of the Iron Blood Army.
"Call Huang Cun to see me. Chu Yun immediately shouted, and Huang Cun, the commander of the Third Cavalry Brigade, rushed over soon.
"Huang Village, you go to pick up the 1st Cavalry Brigade, tell Fang Dashan to fight and retreat, if they are very entangled, you can retreat, since Fang Dashan wants to fight so much, let him fend for himself." "Chu Yun is really angry, you must know that the enemy's strength far exceeds them, they are walking a tightrope, when the break is constantly suffering, Chu Yun would rather sacrifice Fang Dashan than put the whole army in danger.
"Yes. Huang Cun was known for obeying orders, Chu Yun was very relieved, he immediately turned his head and went to pick up the Seventh Cavalry Brigade, as for the Seventh Cavalry Brigade, he would ask for more blessings for himself. When Chu Yun arrived, there were only a few hundred people left in the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, all of them were injured, obviously they had reached the limit, and Chu Yun made a decision immediately. Picked them all up, and then drove thousands of war horses over, and then lit a fire on the horse's tail, and thousands of war horses ran wildly towards the Hun infantry, blocking the Tiger Leaping Valley in an instant.
"Withdraw. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Yun immediately retreated at full speed.
When Huang Cun rushed to the back of the 1st Cavalry Brigade in a tangled mood, he breathed a sigh of relief, the 1st Cavalry Brigade was not too deeply entangled with the Huns, otherwise even if he had an excellent friendship with Fang Dashan, he could only retreat.
Huang Cun immediately contacted Fang Dashan, although Fang Dashan was mixed, but he was not stupid, he also knew that if he was too deeply entangled with the Huns, it would not be conducive to their withdrawal, so he had been commanding a cavalry brigade to fight and retreat, although they had the upper hand, but it was them who were retreating, which had to be said that Chu Yun underestimated Fang Dashan, Fang Dashan was also very experienced in leading troops for so many years.
"Huang boy, I rode a brigade and killed at least two thousand people. "Because Fang Dashan had prepared early, the 1st Cavalry Brigade easily broke away from the battle, they evacuated immediately, and Fang Dashan also came to Huangcun to show off. Huang Cun could only smile bitterly, you must know that Chu Yun had said that if necessary, if he gave up riding a brigade, he almost became an outcast. After Huang Village's father-in-law Tie Zhu betrayed Chu Yun, Guo Shuzi and the others distanced themselves from their family, and only Fang Dashan, a hunn person, still didn't care about interacting with Huang Village, so Huang Cun and Fang Dashan had a good relationship.
"Uncle Fang, this time the governor is very angry, you have to be careful. Huang Cun said in a low voice.
"Haha, it's okay, my old man is uncomfortable not being scolded by the governor for a few words. Fang Dashan said indifferently, and the group all headed towards Zhongyang City, and soon they saw the hairy feather who came to answer.
Outside the gate of Zhongyang City, Chu Yun saw Fang Dashan and kicked out. Fang Dashan climbed up and didn't care, Chu Yun really couldn't help him, but hearing Fang Dashan's harvest, Chu Yun was really a little impressed.
When the losses of the Iron-blooded Army were counted, Chu Yun felt a little blood in his heart, 1,800 cavalry, more than 5,000 people died in the first battle, which is not considered to be injured, and the war horses also lost seven or eight thousand, if there is another battle, the cavalry of the Iron-Blooded Army can even be disabled, and the strength of the Huns is really not to be underestimated. The most serious thing is the Seventh Cavalry Brigade, Zuo Song's troops were almost wiped out, Zuo Song was lucky to survive, but he was stabbed with a spear, and it is estimated that he will have to rest for a while, and there are only more than 300 people left in the Seventh Cavalry Brigade.
Of course, their gains were not small, the strategic goal of the Iron Blood Army was basically achieved, a huge part of the siege equipment was destroyed, and part of the food and grass of the Huns was also destroyed. The Hun cavalry was wiped out by the Iron Blood Army by nearly six thousand, and the Hun auxiliaries were killed by several thousand. In addition, the Seventh Cavalry Brigade and Chu Yun's fire horse plan caused nearly 10,000 casualties among the Hun infantry. And that's not counting the men and auxiliaries who were killed or took advantage of the opportunity to escape, and the rear army of the Huns suffered heavy losses.
Liu Ji's Chinese army and the rear army finally joined forces together, when Liu Wei knew the loss of the rear army, he was furious, and in the face of the veteran Bu Yi's plea, the angry Liu Yi almost killed Bu Yi, thanks to the generals pleading one after another, Bu Yi escaped with his life.
And Jin Ming, the forward commander who came late, was scolded by Liu Ji for his bloody head, this time Jin Ming couldn't explain it, the small valley where the cavalry of the Iron Blood Army was located was a few miles away from the main road, and Jin Ming, who was the vanguard of the first army, didn't find it at all, but Liu Ji still cared about the old feelings, and did not punish Jin Ming heavily, not that Liu Wei didn't know that Jin Ming was a silver gun candle head, but that Liu Ji was still thinking about his mother Jin Yuehua, and didn't want to make the relationship very stiff.
Shilou is a small town in Zhongyang County, but it used to be relatively prosperous, here is a supply point for Hanhu trade, but unfortunately the current Shilou was completely destroyed by the iron-blooded army, and even the building was burned clean, but anyway, there are still some buildings that can be used in the broken wall, and Liu Wei arranged the camp in the Shilou town.
The 100,000 army surrounded the stone building, which may be safer than Chang'an, and it was not because the Iron Blood Army attacked their rear army a few days ago, but because the first snow fell in the north. In front of God, no matter how powerful the human army is, it is difficult to compete.
But fortunately, the Hun army was prepared, they wore winter clothes when they came, and they also brought enough tents for 100,000 troops, at least in the early winter to freeze no one, of course, those people recruited from all over the country were miserable, tens of thousands of people were scared away by the attack of the iron-blooded army, and the remaining nearly 10,000 people were all gathered together, depending on each other for warmth, if it weren't for the Huns still needed them to work, these people couldn't even eat. However, how could only one meal a day provide sufficient energy, and in just a few days, 10,000 people froze to death and 2,000 people froze to death.
The veteran Bu Yi has been abandoned by Liu Wei, and now it is Bu Yi's former deputy Yin Che who manages the people and auxiliary soldiers, he is very distressed when he sees so many people being frozen to death, not that he sympathizes with the people, but is afraid that the people are dead, they can't complete the task, and they will implicate themselves, and these people are their own property in Yin Che's eyes. The snow in the north is endless, and it will rain for at least a few days, and then the people will freeze to death, do you want Yin Che to carry the supplies by himself?
Yin Che went to his top boss Liu Ji, you must know that Yin Che is not Liu Ji's lineage, but Liu Yao's lineage, Liu Ji and Liu Yao once had a very unhappy quarrel because of the battle of Shangdang County that year, Liu Yao thought that Liu Ji had already gotten the news and deliberately let him go to the party county, and then Liu Yao encountered a shame that he could not wash away in his life, and his son was captured by the enemy. Although he didn't treat his son very much, he couldn't stop the crowd, so Liu Yao had a big quarrel with Liu Ji, although he was persuaded by Liu Cong to make peace, but he still had a problem in his heart, so Yin Che, who was Liu Yao's descendant, was of course not very willing to see Liu Ji.
Liu Cong was very thoughtful for Liu Ji, he not only brought a large number of materials, but also brought dozens of craftsmen who made siege equipment, but Liu Ji did not have the slightest intention of using them to continue to build siege equipment, but used them to build his own mansion. These dozens of people are now proper academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and senior talents, but now they can only build a residence for Liu Ji.
Liu Ji's heart is very big, so his new residence is also very big, a quarter of the small town of Shilou is occupied by his new residence, Yin Che came to the doorman for half an hour before being led in, Yin Che was still interested in looking at Liu Ji's residence under construction at first, but he didn't go to the place where Liu Ji lived after walking a cup of tea, and Yin Che began to get bored.
The more Yin Che thought about it, the more inappropriate it became, you must know that Yin Che passed through his master Liu Yao, but he knew the truth about the defeat of Huyanyan's army, such a powerful enemy, you are the boss but greedy for pleasure here, this does not seem to be a good sign no matter how you look at it. Do you want to persuade Liu Jie? As soon as this idea came out, Yin Che vetoed it. Just when Yin Che was thinking wildly, Liu Ji's residence finally arrived, and a large hall more than ten zhang long appeared in front of Yin Che, although it has not yet been completed, but the manpower and materials consumed by such a large hall can be imagined, no wonder Liu Ji once asked for five thousand auxiliary soldiers with him, are they here to do this?
"General Yin, please, the general is waiting for you. Yin Che glanced at the maid, and was even more pessimistic about this military operation. A few days ago, several big cars were sent to the stone building, and he was surprised what was inside, but now it seems that they are all women, Yin Che smiled bitterly, he lost confidence in the purpose of his coming this time, this person will care about the life and death of the people?
Sure enough, when Yin Che saw Liu Ji who was surrounded by women in the middle, Yin Che didn't even say a word, and was ordered by Liu Ji to send all the people and auxiliary soldiers to build a residence for himself, and he was a dignified Hun general, and he even had to listen to the orders of a few eunuchs, Yin Che couldn't wait to give himself a few mouths, and he regretted coming to this trip a little.
When encountering such a coach, Yin Che could only give in, after all, Liu Ji was not easy to get along with, several admonished generals, those with backgrounds were beaten by him to idle positions, and those without backgrounds were cut by him, Yin Che didn't want to die. But fortunately, the snow finally stopped, and just when Yin Che thought that the army was finally about to leave, Liu Ji gave an order, and the whole army was stationed to wait for the order. Well, it's completely out of the way now.
More than a month later, Liu Ji's new mansion was finally completed, this luxurious mansion that cost tens of thousands of people to build, every inch of the ground was soaked in the blood of the people, and in the cold winter, more than half of the tens of thousands of people who were not warm and could not eat enough died, but this is not a problem, because Liu Ji and Liu Cong are going to come with 30,000 people, and with them, there are 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 soldiers, which makes Liu Ji's troops reach 120,000 again, not counting the tens of thousands of people. I have to say that the heritage of the Huns is too rich.
However, this is also all the troops that the Huns can temporarily assemble, and the troops in many places must not move, Liu Cong also gave Liu Ji a death order, it must be a success, Liu Ji must march after enjoying a good life for more than a month.
