Chapter 12 A Thousand Miles of Beacon Smoke Chasing the Dead and Chasing the North

early in the morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Outside the city in the clouds, the Xiongnu camp tent.

The 50,000 Hu cavalry in Yunzhong, as a partial division, its main purpose was to lure the Mengtian army of Jiuyuan to come to the rescue. As for Prince Qin in Cloud City, for them, it was just a two-way choice, and it didn't matter if they could fight or not. First, they were not determined to do this, and secondly, the walls of Cloud City were higher and stronger than they imagined, and the strong attack was bound to suffer heavy losses.

These days, the Xiongnu army has only made a symbolic attack a few times.

After a night's rest, one after another, the soldiers of the Huns walked out of their tents, bent over and split forks, relaxed their muscles and bones, led their horses and bent their bows, and carried out morning training.

It was a quiet morning, and the city of Cloudsdale to the south was still closed, and the situation on the city walls could not be seen clearly in the clouds. From time to time, the soldiers of the Huns pointed in the direction of the edge of the city, laughing, the group of shrunken turtles.

Different from the relaxed freehand of the soldiers, in the big tent of the Xiongnu deliberations, the leaders of the various departments were frowning, gathered together, and did not say a word. The Xiongnu commander placed all the elite soldiers and horses on the right flank, in the direction of Jiuyuan, to detect and defend against reinforcements from there.

It's just that so many days have passed, not to mention Meng Tian's reinforcements, and even the shadow of the sentry cavalry has not been seen. This had to make a group of high-level Huns suspicious.

Hundreds of miles deep into the enemy's territory, the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes were cautious every step they took.

It's just that as time goes on, the signs of things have become more and more wrong. The leaders of the Xiongnu tribes are all strong men who fought in the grasslands and deserts of Saibei, and they have a keen sense of smell for the grasp of crises.

The territory in the clouds is too calm, and the calm makes people feel weird.

Meng Tian's cavalry troops in Jiuyuan only took three days for the vanguard to arrive. However, since they received the information that Meng Tian had gathered his troops and set off, five days had passed, and there had been two more days, but there was no movement in the direction of Jiuyuan.

But if Meng Tian's army didn't come to Jiuyuan, where did they go?

The leader of the big tent sat in his seat, his face gloomy, but he didn't say a word, but his heart became more and more anxious.

"Report!"

There was an urgent report, and all the Hun leaders stood up.

"Is there any news from Jiuyuan?" A rough man shouted loudly, he is the leader of the Xiongnu Tuoba tribe, and he is also the commander of the Xiongnu armies this time, Tuoba Shu.

The faces of the leaders of the tribes were very anxious, and they wanted to get information in their favor from the mouth of this scout.

Looking at the leaders of the various tribes who were like wolves and tigers, the Tancai, who was kneeling on the ground, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I would like to tell you that a small number of cavalry suddenly appeared in the northeast of the camp, and the number was about two or three thousand. ”

"Northeast? That's the direction of Yuanyang City! What's going on? There are 10,000 troops there, how did this force of soldiers and horses come over? ”

It's just that before the leaders of the tribes were surprised, there was another urgent report outside the tent.

"I would like to inform you, a large force of cavalry suddenly attacked in the southeast of Yunzhong City, and the pennant covered the sun, and the number of people was about 10,000."

"How is it possible, where are there so many cavalry in these southern barbarians!" The leader of a Hun grabbed the latter and asked.

No matter how crazy the leaders were, Tuoba sighed, "We've been tricked. ”

The Tuoba tribe was originally a large tribe in the Donghu, and Tuoba was a famous condor shooter in the grassland. Because he received the life-saving grace of the leader of the Lan clan among the three surnames of the Huns in his early years, this time in order to repay the favor, he brought five thousand athletes in the tribe and a small Xiongnu tribe who wanted to fight the autumn wind here.

Only now, things are getting terribly bad.

Whining

A heavy horn sounded, which added fuel to the fire in the hearts of the leaders of the Huns.

"What's wrong with TM again?"

Soon a soldier walked in and replied, "The Qin army is out of the city!" ”

The soldier's tone was hesitant, as if he couldn't believe what he had just seen.

The Qin army is out of the city?

How could the Qin army get out of the city?

How dare the Qin army go out of the city?

One question after another appeared in the hearts of the Hun leaders, who walked out of the big tent with the Tuoba technique and came to the front of the front.

In the mist, rows of Qin troops walked out of the city gate in the clouds and lined up on the edge of the city wall.

"Qin Jun, what's wrong?"

After several days of fighting, the leaders of the Huns did not know how many defenders there were in Yunzhong City, at most only three or four thousand.

With such a number of people, the defense is still insufficient, let alone the offense?

"Look, that's Prince Qin's Daxu."

A Hun leader shouted loudly. As the sun shone and the fog dissipated, among the Qin army, the huge red background and black-edged cloud pattern flag was extremely conspicuous. Prince Qin actually went out of the city in person?

It's just that, in the face of such a situation, the leaders of the Huns not only did not have eagerness to try, but instead surged with deep suspicion.

This is too unusual!

Because he once defeated Touman under the Five Carriage City, Prince Qin's reputation among the Hu people is nothing more than a cruel, suspicious, and cunning image of a ghost.

But how could such a person, if he didn't hide behind the thick walls, take the initiative to attack?

As the last hundred-man team walked out of the city gates, the city gates closed. It's just that there is a huge gap between the hundred-man teams, but there is only one big shot.

"What is Prince Qin's idea of fighting, and where are the others?"

As soon as the words fell, the Huns and the others saw that at the moment when the city gate was closed, a huge wooden platform flew out from behind the city wall, and its momentum was like a falcon pounced. It's just that the moment it was about to touch the ground, this high platform was like a feather, and slowly fell on the ground, in front of the giant big pole.

There are a total of sixteen lifts in front and back, left and right, and two hundred and fifty-six masters carry this high platform. On top of it was a dazzling golden throne, on which a man dressed in a black nine-piece tiara robe was sitting.

The horn sounded.

Thirty hundred-man teams and three thousand Qin troops escorted the men on this high platform, slowly heading towards the Xiongnu camp.

The Qin army left the range of the bow and crossbow of the city wall, left the range of the bed crossbow, and walked over without hurrying.

Maybe Ying Ziyi's appearance was too popular, or maybe the leaders of the Huns were still hesitating about what tricks they had. Therefore, it was not until the 3,000 Qin troops were only one mile away from the Xiongnu's tent that they reacted to it.

"Prince Qin, is this crazy?" A Hun general blurted out, with an unclear look on his face.

Most of the Huns were archers, and under normal circumstances, none of the Huns would lead their men to charge towards the Qin army's infantry array, which had been lined up.

It's not much different from sending people to death.

It's just that it also depends on the difference in the number of enemies and friends!

There are 30,000 people on my side, but there are only 3,000 people on the other side!

The Qin army was only one mile away from the Xiongnu camp, blocking the door of people's homes and setting up a circular formation.

That posture has only one meaning, you TM to hit me!

"Prince Qin deceived me, no one cares about the Huns!"

Around the Tuoba technique, young Hun generals were filled with indignation and asked for battle. It's just that the topography is still hesitating.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Qin has arrived, wait for the barbarians, don't turn against him and remove his armor, come and surrender quickly!"

Just as the Tuolo technique hesitated, the three thousand Qin troops shouted loudly.

"Descend to your sister!"

At this time, the fire of the topography also came up. As an eagle shooter on the grassland, how could he have ever received such bird energy.

Tuoba Shu waved his hand: "Everyone, whoever can take the head of Prince Qin is the husband of my daughter Tuoba Yue!" ”

Tuoba has a beautiful daughter, known as the first beauty in Donghu, who is not married yet. A group of Hun generals had already heard of it, and when they heard this, they were eager to try.

Not to mention that there will be some time when the reinforcements of the Qin army have arrived here, even if they all arrive, these Hun generals are not afraid in their hearts.

After a group of Hun generals came out of the camp, Tuoba recruited the guards around him and ordered: "Call back all the 10,000 people on our right flank and let them guard the road of retreat." ”

"Yes!"

On the throne, Ying Ziyi watched a group of Hun cavalry roaring out of the camp, gradually surrounding his 3,000 men and horses, and said disdainfully: "What a stupid Hu people, they can't help but tease them more than chicken legs." ”

The Huns' cavalry was numerous, and on the entire battlefield, Yingziyi's 3,000 Qin soldiers looked like a lonely boat in the sea.

Standing outside the battlefield, even the banner of the Qin army could not be seen, and more than 10,000 Hu cavalry rolled up the sky full of smoke and dust, whistling around the array of the Qin army, constantly galloping.

Hu rode with a bow and arrows, and countless arrows flew from the sky. The three thousand Qin troops put the long shields in their hands on the top of their heads, and the tight array, the rows of long shields were neatly folded together, leaving no gaps.

It's just that Yingziyi in the middle, the high platform where he is located does not have a trace of protection.

Just when a group of Hun generals thought that they were going to take Yingziyi's life and shouted loudly.

An invisible force rose from the high platform, and the falling arrows were broken by this force, and became soft, and before they could reach the high platform, they were all broken into pieces and dissipated in the wind.

Ying Ziyi seemed to be tired from sitting, and lay on the wide throne obliquely. Beside him, three maids helped him pinch his waist, beat his legs and rub his shoulders.

After the Huns' war cavalry shot several waves in a row, they saw that they did not get any effect. At that moment, the generals of all ethnic groups could not bear it, and rushed over with their men and horses.

There was not a single gap left in the Qin army's tight battle formation, and the Huns' war horses closed from all sides, desperately squeezing towards the middle.

Hu Qi was not yet approaching, and in the battle formation of the Qin army, the first column of vertical shields was slightly opened, and a long lance of one zhang was stretched out, nailing the Hu Qi who rushed forward to it.

The momentum of Hu Cai's charge stagnated for a moment, but the cavalry behind him did not stop there.

One by one, the Xiongnu soldiers stepped on the corpses of their partners in front of them, rushed onto the shields of the Qin army, and headed towards Yingzi.

It was impossible for the Qin army to remove the shield at this time, and if that was the case, the entire circular array would be destroyed in time.

The shields made a rumbling sound, and from time to time the Qin soldiers pierced their long swords through the gaps in the shields, hindering the pace of the Hun cavalry.

Seeing that more and more Hun soldiers were coming towards Yingziyi, the two hundred and fifty-six people carrying the high platform, half of them were divided into men and horses, and they met the enemy in all directions.

The one hundred and twenty-eight men held long swords in their hands and fended off the Hun soldiers on the periphery.

It's just that these more than 100 people still seem very small compared to the number of Huns.

Many Hun masters broke through this layer of defense and broke into the circular formation, above the open space in front of the high platform. It's just that they didn't turn around to destroy the formation of the Qin army, but jumped into the air and headed towards Yingziyi.

"Prince Qin, your head is mine!"

The masters of the Huns were all overjoyed and excited, and they went straight towards Yingzi.

Ying Ziyi spread her hands and said, "There are so many of you, how should you divide them?" ”

The Hun master was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the sky and the earth were eclipsed. After that, they don't know anything.

The battle of the Xiongnu was like a monstrous wave, but the high platform was majestic and immovable.

"My lord, the reinforcements of the Qin army are almost here."

On both sides of the Xiongnu camp, the first army is like a flame, the other army is like a black tide, and the two supporting armies of the Qin army have clearly appeared in the field of vision of the Tuoba technique.

Tuoba Shu waved his hand, and on both sides of the camp, the two Hun cavalry troops that had already been assembled headed towards the two reinforcements of the Qin army.

Tuoba has full confidence, and the number of men and horses on his side is far higher than that of the Qin army. As long as the head of the Qin prince is obtained, then the rout of the Qin army is only a matter of time, and after that, Cloud City is also at your fingertips.

However, the battle situation was not as expected by the Tuotuo Technique.

The 6,000 cavalry he sent to defend against the northeast was slaughtered by a few charges from the other side.

The red cavalry in the southeast, although not as fierce as the black cavalry, attacked extremely quickly, after dividing his more than 10,000 cavalry into two parts. Among them, there were two thousand red horsemen, oozing out of the battle formation, coming in the direction of Prince Qin.

"The last general, Han Xin, it's too late to save the driver, please forgive your highness!"

"The last general, Peng Yue, it's too late to save the driver, please forgive your highness!"

More than 10,000 Hu cavalry scattered outside the Yingziyi array were surrounded by two cavalry armies, one red and one black, who rushed to the guerrilla together. The 3,000 Qin army changed from a circular formation to a phalanx, attacking inside and outside, killing most of the Hu army.

Han Xin and Peng Yue rode their horses to Yingziyi's approach and asked for sin.

Ying Ziyi sat up straight, stood up, and pointed in the direction of the Hun camp. Yingziyi knotted her hair and erected a crown, her clothes were tied up and down, and she was dressed in a black crown dress, on which the nine-colored coat of arms of the mountain dragon was shining.

At this time, a small group of Huns had escaped from the camp and headed northwest.

"I, Daqin, fought in all directions, and in ten years, I conquered the barbarians and punished Di Yuhu. All the sun and moon shine on my land, and the boats and cars pass by, and all are concubines. Today, Hu Lu is coming, and the horse is stepping on Yin Mountain. The Great Wall trembled, and thousands of miles of smoke. Although this retreats, I am afraid that I will not regret it. It is advisable to chase the dead and chase the north, and those who offend me and force Qin will be punished even if they are far away. ”

"The last general obeys!" (To be continued.) )
