488 You brought it upon yourselves
On September 27, Zhao Yun and Cao Xiu, the vanguard of the Wei army, encountered more than 5,000 cavalry of the Southern Xiongnu 30 miles south of Meiji County.
When the two armies met head-on, neither would retreat, so they faced each other face-to-face and fought for a while.
In the end, the Wei army won and broke the vanguard of the Southern Xiongnu, and the vanguard of the Southern Xiongnu side would be stabbed to death by Zhao Yun with a spear, and the Southern Xiongnu cavalry soon collapsed.
The Wei army won the first battle, Zhao Yun and Cao Xiu did not stop, but covered up all the way, and the Southern Xiongnu troops killed were defeated, which directly threatened the safety of Meiji County.
The Southern Xiongnu were shocked by the court.
In the case that the reinforcements did not come, Guiyi thought about it and felt that fighting a field battle was not the opponent of the Wei army under Guo Peng, so he simply decided to abandon Meiji County and retreat in the direction of Wuyuan County, and then left 5,000 troops to fight a defensive battle in Meiji County to delay time.
The Huns began to defend the city because the cavalry could not defeat the Han Chinese, while the Han preferred to use cavalry to fight.
Such a scene happened in this place at this time, and it seemed somewhat inconsistent, but Guo Peng knew that this was normal.
It's not that the Huns are too degraded, they are still a nation on horseback, fierce or fierce, bloodthirsty or bloodthirsty, robbed when it is time to rob, not soft at all.
But more or less, the Han people evolved.
Whether it is weapons, armor, diet, or training, Guo Peng gave the army surpassed the Huns in all aspects, and the cavalry was even more so.
The Huns have superb riding skills, and Guo Peng's starting team from ten years ago is cavalry, which is the Changshui cavalry who is the best at riding and shooting, and has superb riding skills.
There was never a lack of cavalry components in the Wei bloodline.
Whether it is a war horse, a soldier, a good training, or a weapon, it will not lose to the Huns, how can it be easily defeated?
Zhao Yun fought very fiercely, Cao Xiu was eager to make meritorious contributions, killed many enemies, the Huns were pressed and beaten by the Wei army at the beginning of the war, whether it was sprinting or riding and shooting, there was no more fierce than the Wei cavalry, and there was no reason not to be defeated.
Seeing that he couldn't beat face-to-face, his housekeeping skills were all exposed, and after a short period of confusion, he was still smart, and he made a decision.
Quickly retreated, abandoned Meiji County, chose to retreat to Wuyuan County, and took his own subordinates, intending to learn from the Han people, and use the way of defending the city and resisting every step to exhaust Guo Peng's grain and grass logistics, so as to force Guo Peng back.
Not to mention, in the past, the Han people's housekeeping skills were learned by the Huns, and the Huns' housekeeping skills were also learned by the Han people.
Now the two sides use their own housekeeping skills against each other, and this battle still has a bit of magical realism.
So when Guo Peng marched to Meiji County, he found that the Huns in Meiji County were putting on a desperate appearance of defending the city, and he couldn't help but look at Guo Jia and Xun You beside him.
Then Guo Peng and Guo Jia burst out laughing, and Xun You barely controlled his expression.
"The way of the world has changed, and the Huns have begun to defend the city, because the cavalry can't beat us."
Guo Peng laughed and said: "Then it's time for us to tell the Huns that attacking and defending the city is our housekeeping skill, and we haven't fallen behind at all over the years!" ”
Guo Peng gave an order, and the trebuchet team began to assemble the trebuchet that was split into parts, and in less than half a day, twenty trebuchets were assembled and began to attack.
Huge stones flew in the air, cutting a beautiful arc, and smashed towards the city wall of Meiji County, which looked short and dilapidated compared to the giant city of the Central Plains.
The Huns had never seen such a posture, and they were frightened by the large stones that smashed over, and Guo Peng ordered to deter them with earth-shaking thunder.
So one by one, the earth-shattering thunder exploded at the head of Meiji County, and the Huns thought that this was the ghost and god method used by the Wei army, and they didn't know how much they were scared crazy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Peng waved his hand, Cao Ren and Le Jin led the infantry corps to launch a battle to capture the city, the fierce Wei infantry stepped forward with a big shield, and the Huns who were in a mess remembered to resist, but the scattered resistance was not the opponent of the Wei army at all.
The Wei army soon killed the city wall, and the Huns on the city wall hand-to-hand combat, an hour later, the city wall was broken, the city gate was opened, Xiahou Yuan immediately led the cavalry to kill it.
Meiji County was easily taken by Guo Peng, 5,000 Hun defenders died, surrendered, Guo Peng ordered all the Huns to be tied up and locked up, escorted back to Taiyuan County, handed over to Guo Yi, as a coolie, to contribute his meager strength to the recovery and reconstruction of the state.
If you don't accept it, you will kill.
Simple and crude.
That night in the city, Guo Peng took Nanlou's hand and danced with him, very happy, while dancing and asked Nanlou "Is the lonely army good at fighting" such a question, Nanlou smiled awkwardly, and praised Wei Gong's army again and again for being unparalleled in the world.
With that fierce appearance, Nanlou's scalp was numb when he saw it.
Fortunately, fortunately, he is Guo Peng's person, not Guo Peng's enemy.
This person is terrible.
Early the next morning, Guo Peng led his army to continue to advance towards Manbo County in Wuyuan County.
This was originally the residence of General Duliao, and it was an army led by the general set up by the Eastern Han government to isolate the communication between the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei, and the task was to ensure the loyalty of the Southern Xiongnu.
Nominally protection, but in fact surveillance, the Eastern Han Emperor still thought very clearly.
Unfortunately, the enforcement is always insufficient, and the vigilance of these "refugees" is not enough, and the bloodthirsty nature of these guys is not fully understood.
Therefore, after the Eastern Han Dynasty government became more and more weak, it was naturally impossible to control this fierce wolf.
However, Guo Peng is not afraid, because Guo Peng is more bloodthirsty than them.
More than 2,000 heads were cut off in the first battle of Meiji County and carried with the army, and more than 2,000 heads were cut off in the first battle of Manbo County, and they continued to be carried with the army and continued to set off to Linwo County in Wuyuan County.
After capturing Manbo County, Guo Peng ordered Cao Ren to lead Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Xia Zhao and other generals to divide 20,000 troops to take Yanmen County and Dingxiang County, and ordered Xiahou Yuan and Guo Jia to lead 10,000 troops to take Yunzhong County, and then led the remaining 50,000 troops to find Guiyi Shan to settle accounts.
The troops advanced in three directions, comprehensively sweeping the Southern Xiongnu and the miscellaneous Hu, no matter which tribe, as long as they dared to resist, they were annihilated on the spot, and they did not need to leave their hands.
Do you need to care about this kind of thing on your own soil?
All the way to Linwo County, Guo Peng took Linwo County by dividing five by two, killing 3,000 Hun soldiers, capturing more than 1,000, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jiuyuan County.
Maybe he was beaten by Guo Peng, annoyed and angry, Guiyi Shan Yu nailed himself to Jiuyuan County and did not retreat, wrote to Guo Peng, and asked with tears in his eyes what he had made a mistake, Guo Peng actually wanted to attack him and slaughter his subordinates.
In doing so, aren't you afraid that the court will be held accountable?
Is Guo Peng afraid?
It is the imperial court that should be feared.
However, Guo Peng is a civilized person, and he pays attention to the battle between the two armies without killing the envoy, so the civilized cut off one of the envoy's ears and wrote a reply letter for him to take back.
came to make the fart flow back to Guiyi Shan Yu's side, handed Guo Peng's reply, Guiyi Shan Yu read the reply in shock and anger, and suddenly realized that he was going to be finished.
Guo Peng listed in detail the repeated rebellions of the Southern Xiongnu who surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty for refuge in the past hundred years.
How many people were killed each time, how many people and property were plundered, who they cooperated with, what serious consequences were caused, and how they were let go after that.
Repeated surrender and rebellion, has made me have no trust in the Southern Xiongnu, no matter how you beg for mercy and swear, I will annihilate and expel you, this is your own request.
It's time to settle the score!
After reading the examples listed by Guo Peng in detail, the righteousness was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted.
PS: It's not scientific! Why do you still say fa♂?!
