Chapter 141: Dingxiang Fierce Battle
Dingxiang City at night is unusually quiet and solemn, while the Hun camp that stretches for more than ten miles outside the city is still calm and serene.
The city gate was quietly opened in the dark night, and a cavalry quietly went out of the city, but the Huns did not react to it.
A moment later, shouts of slaughter arose, and the cavalry burst into the Huns' camp.
The head of the general is very powerful, the big red robe, the red gold armor, the whole person is like a fire in the Hun camp burning, only to see this general wielding a big knife, across the jujube red war horse, in the Hun camp back and forth conflict, galloping, where the big knife goes, the head of the Hun soldiers flew to the sky in a row, and the four thousand cavalry behind him, also like a tiger down the mountain, all vying for the first, everyone forward.
This general is the commander of the third division of Bingzhou, Dingxiang Taishou Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
For a time, the Hun camp was in chaos, and the two armies were in a scuffle.
The thief captured the king first, and soon, Zhang Liao rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army.
I saw a Hun general coming head-on, so the big sword slashed, and the poor Hun general was split in half by a black lightning, and the war horse that had lost its master neighed a few times, and ran away in terror.
As soon as the main general died, the Hun soldiers began to panic, some of them were still resisting, and some of them began to flee for their lives.
However, the ensuing arrival of 4,000 infantry made the recalcitrant Huns completely lose the confidence to resist.
Charging and fighting on the grassland, maybe these 4,000 infantry are nothing to the Hun iron cavalry, but in the middle of the night, in the face of the Hun cavalry without horses, these 4,000 infantry became 4,000 executioners, under the command of Hou Cheng, deputy commander of the third division, rows of spears provoked the corpses of the Huns, and cut off the heads of the Huns one by one with long knives.
Strangled by four thousand infantry, the Huns finally broke up.
So, the cavalry began to pursue the fleeing enemy, and the infantry began to clean up the battlefield. At this time, the reserve regiment of the 3rd Division of Bingzhou, which was holding back in the city, also joined the ranks of cleaning up the battlefield.
Near dawn, with the help of the people of Dingxiang, Zhang Liao finally transported the captured grain, grass and armor back to the city. And the Xiongnu camp, which stretched for more than ten miles, also turned into a scorched earth overnight.
As soon as Qiē settled down, Zhang Liao summoned a meeting of the ministers of Dingxiang and the generals of the Third Division.
Seeing the beaming looks on everyone's faces, Zhang Liao couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
Hou Chengdao: "The general's genius is only from the misty smoke. It can be learned that the main force of the Huns is not here, and I am really impressed. ”
Zhang Liao said: "I also wonder why the Huns besieged the city and did not attack, so I ordered a team of soldiers to observe their cooking and fireworks, so as to deduce that the main force of the Huns was not here, so there was last night's stealing camp, but last night's stealing camp was really thrilling." ”
Hou Chengdao: "Now that the Huns have lost their grain and grass, they should immediately retreat." ”
Zhang Liao thought about it and said, "Not necessarily." The main force of the Huns is missing, there must be another plan, and we have seen through the tricks of the Huns today, I am afraid that the Huns will be angry and attack the city. ”
Hou Cheng and the others thought about it, and they all nodded.
Zhang Liao said: "So, we can't relax now, on the one hand, we have to inform the lord of the military situation here, and on the other hand." It is also necessary to be on the defensive. ”
After the victory meeting, Zhang Liao and the others began to go separately to get busy again.
And the situation of merging states, as Jia Xu and Fu Zhu expected, the Xiongnu left and right came out together. A total of 200,000 horses, King Zuo Xian first invaded Yanmen with 5,000 soldiers and horses, thinking that it was a strategy to lure the enemy, and then led the soldiers and horses to surround Xiang, and then implemented a plan to lure the enemy. After besieging Dingxiang for a day, King Zuo Xian led most of his soldiers and horses to join King Youxian and prepare to ambush Lin Nan, while King Zuo Xian left less than 10,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Dingxiang, so he would let Zhang Liao succeed.
After the defeated Xiongnu army after Zhang Liao broke the camp and ran back to the camp of King Zuoxian, King Laji of Zuoxian knew that Dingxiang was defeated, so he hurriedly came to discuss with King Yufuluo.
As soon as he heard that the army besieging Dingxiang had been broken by the Han army and the grain and grass had been lost, Yu Fuluo couldn't help but be shocked, but after all, he was very calm, and while allocating some grain and grass to Laji, he hurriedly gathered the generals to discuss countermeasures.
The general said: "This matter has come to this point, only to re-encircle Dingxiang is the best policy, and also, the five thousand soldiers and horses who attacked Yanmen also go to besiege Dingxiang, and King Zuo Xian must capture Dingxiang within five days, otherwise, we will not be able to return to the grassland." ”
Raj said: "Although we have a lot of soldiers, if we want to capture Dingxiang in five days, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”
"It's really a little difficult for you, but if you don't attack the city desperately, then how can Lin Nan get out of the city lightly." ”
Raj said: "I see, I hope this time we can wipe out Lin Nan on the grassland." ”
After receiving the grain and grass, Raj went back to the camp to reorganize the army and horses, and prepared to besiege Dingxiang again.
After Raj left, Yu Fuluo said, "What a great opportunity, I missed it like this." ”
He said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this, the Dingxiang guard will dare to lead thousands of soldiers and horses out of the city to steal the camp, it can be seen that this person is very brave and resourceful, and he is a rare general, so it is impossible to take advantage of Laji's siege of Dingxiang." ”
Yu Fuluo nodded and said: "This is very good, in this battle, we must not only destroy Lin Nan, but also destroy the kid Raji, with this kid, I can't unify the entire Huns." ”
Grabbed the straight and said: "Rest assured, Raj is not to be afraid, the real person to be afraid is Lin Nan." ”
Yu Fuluo said: "I hope Lin Nan can fight with us this time." ”
After listening to Yu Fuluo's words, he turned silent, the real grassland duel, and he didn't know who would kill the deer.
After receiving Dingxiang's battle report, Lin Nan couldn't help but applaud, a good Zhang Liao, a good Zhang Wenyuan, what a great general, at the same time, Lin Nan also praised Jia Xu and Frustration, because Dingxiang's battle report proved that their inference was correct.
And Jia Xu and Fu Zhu and others, while happy, they also had an extra layer of worry.
Jia Xu said: "After our two days of spying, the main force of the Huns is between Dingxiang and Yunzhong, so as long as we send troops to help Dingxiang, we will definitely encounter the Huns, it seems that we and the Huns will have a battle sooner or later." ”
Fu Zhu also said: "After our two days of investigation, the main force of the Huns should be no less than 100,000, but the soldiers in Yunzhong City are less than 50,000, plus the soldiers and horses of Shuofang and Wuyuan, our troops are still slightly insufficient, if we fight a decisive battle with the Huns on the grassland, the outcome is really unpredictable." ”
After listening to the analysis of the two military advisors, Lin Nan nodded and said: "What the two of you said is extremely true, so I will concentrate all the military forces of the state and fight to the death with the Huns, so as to achieve the success of the first battle." ”
After listening to Lin Nan's words, all the generals nodded yes, their blood was boiling, they were gearing up, and they were very yearning for the success of that battle.
And Yu turned and said: "Actually, this battle is not a difficult thing, General Zhang Wenyuan broke the Hun camp, the Huns' food and grass will be very scarce, so as long as we hold on for a few days, and wait for the Huns to run out of food, we will be able to break the Huns." ”
After Yu finished speaking, everyone agreed.
But Liu Ye said: "Zhong Xiang is reasonable, however, I am a little worried about the shape of Dingxiang, General Zhang Wenyuan broke the Xiongnu camp, the Huns will not give up, they will definitely retaliate, they will definitely attack Xiangcheng again, and the Huns will have no food and grass, they will step up the time to attack the city, at that time, the pressure on Dingxiangcheng will be very great." ”
After Liu Ye finished speaking, Lin Nan said: "Zi's threat is reasonable, therefore, Dingxiang must be saved, the key is when to save it, I hope Wenyuan can stay for a few more days." ”
Jia Xu said: "Now, we can summon Shuo Fang and Wuyuan's soldiers and horses into the clouds, and then rescue Dingxiang together, and fight to the death with the Huns, I believe that after a few days, the Huns' grain and grass will be almost used, but if General Zhang Wenyuan can hold for a few more days, then the lord's chances of victory will be a few points more." ”
After listening to Jia Xu's words, Lin Nan nodded and said, "Just do it." ”
So, an unprecedented war is about to be staged.
Zhang Liao's prediction was not wrong, and King Zuo Xian really came back to take revenge.
The camp was broken, the grain and grass were taken away, and no one could swallow this breath.
So, after straightening out his soldiers and horses, Zuoxian King Raj went all the way to Dingxiang.
In the face of tens of thousands of Hun iron cavalry, Zhang Liao knew that he had no capital to attack, so he could only defend to the death, after all, the Huns were cavalry and were not good at attacking cities.
The Huns repaired for a day, built some ladders for the siege, and the next day began to attack the city.
Dingxiang City, which has a long history, finally ushered in the baptism of blood and fire today.
Standing at the head of the city, looking at the Huns walking down from their horses, Zhang Liao couldn't help but feel funny, of course, the horns and shouts of the Huns were indeed terrifying.
The Huns attacked the city very interestingly, completely regardless of the priority and priority, but attacked from all sides, Zuo Xianwang mainly attacked the south gate, and the rest of the generals each led 20,000 people to attack the east, west, and north three gates.
Therefore, Zhang Liao had no choice but to divide his troops to defend, with a battalion of cavalry, a battalion of infantry, a company of archers, a company of crossbowmen, a company of engineers, a company of logistics soldiers, and 5,000 people.
Zhang Liao guarded the south gate, Hou Cheng guarded the north gate, Shen Shi, chief of staff of the Third Division, guarded the west gate, and Song Tian, deputy chief of staff, guarded the east gate.
"Release the arrow!" Seeing that the Huns carried the ladder into the range of the crossbow arrows, Zhang Liao hurriedly gave the order.
As a result, two hundred and fifty crossbow arrows fell from the sky, and more than 100 Huns who rushed to the front were nailed to the ground.
Seeing that there were a lot of crossbow arrows missing, Zhang Liao said: "Aim and then fire, don't waste the arrows." ”
Stepping on the corpses of his companions, thousands of Huns from behind rushed up again. (To be continued.) )
