Volume 1 Chapter 45 Night Attack on the Huns

In the afternoon, the siege battle of Yanmen Pass was in full swing, and in the big tent of the Fenwu army fifty miles away from the Xiongnu camp,

Han Cheng said to Fu Zhu: "Changshi, tonight's night attack on the Hun camp is up to you to arrange." Seeing the trust in Han Cheng's eyes, he had some thoughts in his heart and said, "Obey." ”

With Han Cheng's appointment, he said to the generals in the tent in a serious manner:

"Captain Zhang He only took 2,000 soldiers to resist the attack of the Huns at Yanmen Pass, just to leave enough men and horses for our night attack, so we must not let a single Hun soldier escape tonight.

Next, the generals listened to the order: Captain Pan Feng, led the 500 soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion as the vanguard, took the lead in breaking through the fence and other obstacles on the periphery of the Xiongnu camp, and opened the way for the soldiers and horses behind;

Captain Wei Yan led the remaining 3,500 Qinglong Battalion soldiers to attack the Hun camp from the east, west, and south, and the Hun soldiers at this time must not have been able to find their own horses, cavalry vs. infantry, Captain Wei, don't let me down. Surrender was not accepted in this battle, and all the Hun soldiers must be killed;

Liu Hu has two tasks, one is to lead the original Yanmen Pass garrison of 800 people, set fire everywhere in the Xiongnu camp, causing chaos in the Xiongnu camp, but this is only a secondary task. The second task, that is, the main task is to drive the Xiongnu horses out of the camp and collect them in full, if the Xiongnu have 6,000 horses, you can collect 5,000 war horses, and you will be the first contributor to this battle; If you only collect 3,000 horses, you will wait for the clubs. ”

"Command!" The three big men took the order and left.

Fu Zhu then said to Han Cheng: "I will personally lead the remaining two thousand soldiers of the strong bow battalion, and before Captain Wei Yan leads the Qinglong battalion to rush into the Xiongnu camp, I will shoot at least three rounds of rockets to carry out a comprehensive bow and arrow attack on the Xiongnu camp; As for the lord, he led the last 2,000 soldiers to intercept the outside of the Hun camp to prevent scattered Hun soldiers from wandering. ”

Frustrated Zhu felt that Han Cheng let him arrange this battle, mainly to give Han Cheng's brother-in-law Liu Hu a chance, this kind of thing is not good for the father-in-law.

Since Liu Hu was in the army, he did not rely on the identity of the lord's brother-in-law to be a blessing at all, but he took the lead in the war and fought bravely, which was deeply loved by the soldiers. A few days ago, when he faked his death to seize Yanmen Pass, the pretended "corpse" to occupy the city gate was done by the 400 warriors led by Liu Hu, and it was precisely because of this meritorious service in this battle that he had just been promoted to the position of military candidate.

And after Han Cheng knew what he was thinking, he could only look aggrieved and said in his heart: "I don't mean this, I'm just simply lazy." ”

At the second watch, thirty miles away from the Hun camp,

The 4,000 soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion of the Fenwu Army, the 2,000 soldiers of the Qianggong Battalion and 2,000 soldiers, as well as the 800 Yanmen Pass defenders who had just returned to Shun and were not incorporated into the Fenwu Army, were on standby.

With a neat military appearance and serious military discipline, the whole army is full of energy after a day's rest and is ready to attack at any time.

"The cruelty of the Huns, you have also seen, plundered a large amount of wealth and population of my Han Dynasty and went to the north;

I suspect that if they don't attack well today, they will let the people be cannon fodder tomorrow. We all have the blood of the Han people in our bodies, and these people are our compatriots, how can we watch them die in vain?

I ordered the three watches to attack the Hun camp and not accept surrender. Only by beating the Xiongnu can they know how powerful our Han people are. Han Cheng stood at the forefront of the soldiers, doing pre-war mobilization.

"Save your compatriots, kill! Kill! Kill! The soldiers shouted indignantly, and then the army quietly touched the Hun camp thirty miles away.

Arrive at the camp five miles

According to the plan, Pan Feng raised his axe and shouted at the five hundred cavalry behind him: "Rush with me." ”

Then the vanguard of 500 soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion rushed towards the Xiongnu camp. The five-mile path was quickly approached for the cavalry.

The vanguard cavalry led by Pan Feng rushed to the vicinity of the camp, first using ropes to cover the fence, and then the cavalry turned around and ran backwards, pulling down the fence of the camp and paving the way for the follow-up army.

At the same time that Pan Feng led the vanguard army to pull to the fence, the soldiers of the strong bow battalion led by Fu Yu also reached the shooting range, and two thousand bows and arrows shot towards the Xiongnu camp with flames, and the Xiongnu camp instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Charging in the opposite direction of Pan Feng's cavalry was Liu Husuo's 800 soldiers at Yanmen Pass, taking advantage of the cover of bows and arrows, secretly approaching the Xiongnu camp, first setting fire everywhere, setting fire to the camp, and then gathering together towards the place where the Xiongnu stored their horses.

These 800 people were all natives of the northern part of the state, who had been dealing with ethnic minorities since childhood, and were quite proficient in the art of horse control, so they could drive and collect frightened horses.

After three rounds of arrow rain, Wei Yan led the Qinglong camp to rush to the Xiongnu camp, and three miles outside the big tent, Han Cheng led two thousand men and horses, hiding in the night.

Liu Neng is considering offering the plundered beauty Cai Zhaoji to the big leader Hu Chuquan, how many cattle and sheep will the big leader give to his tribe, and what if the attack doesn't go well tomorrow? Do you want to send someone back to the tribe to report the news, and let the warriors in the tribe attack Yanmen Pass from the north, and attack from both sides, and take Yanmen Pass. After taking the Yanmen Pass, hang the head of the guard in the pass on the horse, so that he does not know the current affairs and dares to block his retreat.

I had just fallen asleep in a daze, when I suddenly heard a killing cry, and my own soldiers rushed into the tent,

"Oh no, chief, there is an inexplicable enemy army attacking the camp, and there is fire everywhere, and our horses are frightened away by the flames. Let's go, chief, let's go back to the tribe. ”

"What's the panic, and me." Liu Neng didn't feel sleepy, and when he walked out of the sleeping tent, he saw that his camp had already been in chaos, the soldiers couldn't find the generals, the generals couldn't find the soldiers, the cavalry of the Han army rushed everywhere in the camp, and his cavalry had no horses and became infantry, as if they were killed and wounded like leeks.

Although the Hun soldiers were desperately resisting, Liu Neng knew that the general trend had gone, so he only blamed himself for being careless, and he did not guard against the enemy's sneak attack at night.

At this time, Liu Neng's personal soldiers didn't know where to get more than a dozen horses, and Liu Neng's clothes were also messily dressed, but these were not taken care of, Liu Neng could only ride on horses and lead the only dozens of personal guards to the northwest. When he left, he still looked back at Cai Zhaoji's big tent and the Hun camp that had become a mess.

Han Cheng, who was three miles away, saw that there were very few Hun soldiers fleeing, and most of them resisted in the Hun camp. Then he ordered 2,000 soldiers to press on all sides, enter the Xiongnu camp, join the battle, kill all the Xiongnu soldiers, end the battle as soon as possible, and rescue the people.

Han Cheng led the guards from the west and rushed directly into the Hun camp, and two hundred soldiers tightly surrounded Han Cheng in the middle, Han Cheng could not kill the enemy with a knife, so he had to take out his own stone and a half bow, looking for shooting targets everywhere.

Every arrow fired will save a Fenwu soldier and kill a Hun soldier.
