Chapter 591: Not Even a Pig
The cavalry of the Wei army came very fast, and found that the Huns had fled to Yanmen Pass, Deng Ai couldn't help but secretly feel a little anxious, he didn't know the situation of Yanmen Pass, if the Huns escaped Yanmen Pass, it would really become a tiger returning to the mountain, and then if you want to catch up, it will be extremely difficult.
If you want to completely annihilate the Xiongnu army, you must deal with them in Yanmen Pass, so Deng Ai ordered the cavalry camp to advance at full speed, and strive to catch up with the Huns in front of Yanmen Pass.
Seeing the Wei cavalry galloping rapidly, Liu Jiao was completely panicked, the Wei cavalry is powerful, he is not untaught, not to mention that the Huns are now such a sleepy and tired remnant of the defeated brigade, that is, the Hun cavalry in its heyday couldn't do it, let them fight with the Wei cavalry, it was simply an egg hitting a stone.
But the current situation has to go to the battle, Yanmen Pass is guarded by the Wei army, which is equivalent to sealing their retreat, this battle is to drive the ducks to the shelf, they have to fight, and they have to fight if they don't fight.
Liu Jiao ordered the Huns to put up a battle formation and prepare to fight, but in a hurry, how could the Hun cavalry list an effective battle formation, this way fled wildly, the Hun cavalry was already sleepy and tired, and when they saw the Wei cavalry chasing, they were already cold, how could they raise their fighting spirit.
The first impact of the Vietnamese cavalry easily tore the defense line of the Huns, and the Vietnamese cavalry who rushed into the enemy formation was the more brave the more they fought, which was destined to be a battle without suspense.
Liu Jiao was completely dumbfounded, he knew very well that with the current strength of the Hun soldiers, it would be difficult to compete with the Wei cavalry, but after all, there were still seven or eight thousand people under him, let alone killing seven or eight thousand people, even if it was killing seven or eight thousand pigs, it would take some time and strength.
But after seeing the results of the battle, Liu Jiao was completely desperate, this is a battle, it is clearly crushing, the Wei army swept everything unscrupulously on the battlefield, these Hun soldiers are really not as good as pigs, pigs will struggle desperately at the moment of life and death, and they will run away frantically, and when they are in a hurry, they will also bite people, but these Hun soldiers have long lost their bloodiness and fighting spirit, and only the frame of being slaughtered is left, and when they see the Wei army rushing to their eyes, many people simply throw away their weapons and raise their hands to surrender.
Comparing them to pigs is simply insulting to pigs.
At this moment, Liu Jiao, like a basin of cold water topping, is over, everything is over, I knew that this was the end, it was better to go to Shuofang with Liu Bao, maybe Liu Bao had already arrived at the edge of the Yellow River at this time, and was crossing the river, as long as he escaped from the boundary of the state, he would be considered an escape.
"Marshal Liu, withdraw the troops quickly, it's too late if you don't leave." One of his leaders urged him urgently.
"Go, where are you going?" Liu Jiao looked around blankly, the pass was in the way in front of him, and there were chasing soldiers behind him, and he was in a desperate situation, and if he was threatened with wings, he was afraid that he would not escape death.
The man said: "There is a hidden mountain road under Beixia, I don't know where it leads, maybe you can bypass Yanmen." ”
Liu Jiao seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Quickly lead the way." ”
In this kind of melee situation, Liu Jiao naturally can't take most of the army, so he can only take some of his cronies to this secluded mountain road, and the rest of the army, Liu Jiao also expects them to delay the pursuit of the Wei army, after all, there are thousands of people, even if they surrender, they will block the way of the Wei army, giving Liu Jiao some time to escape.
This can be regarded as a bit of residual heat.
Liu Jiao didn't care about anything else now, he rode his horse all the way and fled wildly, the road in the mountains was narrow and bumpy, sometimes cliffs, sometimes deep valleys, stepping into this mountain, as if entering a labyrinth.
After turning for most of the day, Liu Jiao faintly felt that something was wrong, this went around along the mountain road, basically wandering around at the southern foot of Yanmen Mountain, and never passed the top of the mountain, if he couldn't cross the Yanmen Pass, it would be equivalent to Liu Jiao turning blindly, and sooner or later he would be caught up by the Wei army.
But Liu Jiao and they don't have anyone who is familiar with the terrain here, the mountains here are steep, the roads are complicated, and if there are no people who know the geographical advantages, it is impossible to get out of this big mountain.
Just when Liu Jiao was worried, the Hun soldiers in front suddenly came to report, saying that they had captured a woodcutter, Liu Jiao was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to bring the woodcutter to him.
The spine man was about forty or fifty years old, skinny as firewood, and even so, he still carried a large bundle of firewood on his back, and when he came to Liu Jiao, his face was pale and he looked frightened.
Liu Jiao said with a pleasant face: "This old man, do you know the road to the north?" If you can lead the way, we're in for a reward. ”
The woodcutter's eyes were full of horror, and he pursed his lips and shook his head without saying a word.
A leader brushed the ground and pulled out the waist knife, put it directly on the woodcutter's neck, and shouted: "Since you don't know, what do you want you to do, it's better to kill it." ”
was so frightened that the woodcutter pounced, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "The military master spares his life!" The military master spares his life! ”
Liu Jiao drank back the leader, picked up the woodcutter with his own hands, and said: "Uncle, you don't have to be afraid, as long as you are willing to tell us the path to cross the mountain, he will not only not kill you, but also reward you." ”
The woodcutter said tremblingly: "The villain knows that there is a path that can lead directly to the north of the mountain, but it is ...... It's just that the mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and the horse can't walk, so he can only climb it alone. ”
Liu Jiao heard that if he abandoned the horse, even if he crossed Yanmen Mountain, he was afraid that the next journey would be more difficult, but he thought about it, instead of sitting here and waiting to die, it was better to fight.
So he let the woodcutter lead the way, and they abandoned their horses, and followed the woodcutter, and went up the mountain.
The road led by the woodcutter is indeed impassable on horseback, the mountain road that bends like a sheep's intestine is extremely steep, sometimes, it is completely almost a vertical slope, the Huns need to climb on all fours to get by, the road is full of thorns, the Hun soldiers who walk in front and the woodcutter together, but also have to chop thorns, in order to reluctantly step out of a road.
But in any case, the woodcutter knew the mountain roads here, and when he threatened them with a knife, he obediently complied, and was willing to be their guide, so that he could lead them through the dangerous Yanmen Pass.
The steep mountains were gradually trampled under their feet, and as the Huns panted to the top of the mountain, their eyes finally became cheerful, and here they could see the plain to the north.
