Chapter 20 Han Yu planned to slaughter the 150,000 troops of the Yue Kingdom
However, it was said that Zhang Shunqin led 5,000 cavalry, led by Kan Xun, and went straight to Fengling in the starry night. It wasn't until noon that he arrived at the boundary of Hanshan, Zhang Shun suddenly raised his horse, looked around, and ordered the army to stop in a panic.
"Where is this?" Zhang Shun saw that he was surrounded by mountains, and the road was long and narrow and steep, so he was afraid of an ambush, so he asked Kan Xun on the side.
Kan Xun understood Zhang Shun's thoughts, and immediately said unhurriedly, "This is Hanshan, and thirty miles ahead is Fengling." ”
Zhang Shun was puzzled in his heart, "I remember that some time ago, Wang Ze had withdrawn his troops and hoarded here, if an ambush was set up here, there would be a surprise for our soldiers." You might as well wait for the army to arrive, and march on the march! ”
When Kan Xun heard this, he knew that Zhang Shun was cautious, so he immediately rolled his eyes to brew a speech, and said, "Wang Ze is at the foot of Fengling City at the moment and is in the same place with Meng Yibing, attacking Fengling. This is a godsend, the two generals have few soldiers and horses, and at this moment they will lead the army and horses to encircle the inside and outside of Fengling, and they will defeat the enemy! If you stay here and wait for the army, I am afraid that Wang Ze and Meng Yier will come back to their senses and escape! The military situation is fleeting, and the opportunity cannot be missed! ”
Zhang Shun nodded, but when he raised his eyes and saw the mountains, he was afraid of hesitation in his heart, so he ordered more than ten people to enter the valley to investigate.
After a short time, the men and horses reported, "There are a few armor and equipment in the valley, and they are discarded on both sides at will. But there was no military horse and no man. ”
Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief and laughed on his back, "It must have been discarded by Meng Yi's army horse during his escape!" Xu Feng once said to me that Han Xiaozhi's use of soldiers is ghostly, and people and ghosts are unpredictable. Now I see it in vain! If an ambush is set up in this place, it will be easy to work. We're all in bondage! ”
After that, he ordered the military horses to march at full speed and rush straight to Fengling.
Under Fengling City, drums were beating loudly, and the military horses on both sides were fighting chaotically.
Zhang Shun stopped his army from a distance and watched, and saw more than 1,000 enemy troops under the city, each dressed in Tsing Yi armor, holding crossbows in line and shooting at each other in the city, shouting, "Is this Han Yu's 'Tsing Yi soldiers!'" ’”。
And one of the generals at the head is Meng Yi, who is leading more than 100 soldiers to carry siege equipment to forcibly attack the city at this moment. Behind him, there was a man with a halberd and a halberd, sitting in the army and commanding the soldiers and horses to fight.
"That person must be Wang Ze! Kill this man with me! Zhang Shun immediately danced his sword and rode his horse, and led the army behind the enemy to cover the past.
shouted to kill the heavens, Zhang Shun took the lead, especially brave.
Meng Yi suddenly saw the rear army killing, hurriedly abandoned the siege, returned to Wang Ze's array of soldiers, and killed Zhang Shun's army.
Meng Yi held a gun to meet the battle, Zhang Shun slapped the horse first, and a horizontal slash startled Meng Yi's war horse neighing, and hurriedly raised the gun to block. Seeing that Zhang Shun was powerful, the general behind Meng Yi rushed to the prancing horse, and stabbed Zhang Shun in the heart without saying a word.
Zhang Shun had to abandon Meng Yi to fight the general, the three generals fought back and forth, and fought more than ten times, Meng Yi suddenly shouted, "The enemy army and horses are strong, don't fight for a long time, break through quickly!" ”
The general nodded in agreement, picked up Zhang Shun's long knife with a halberd, and then led the military horses behind him with Meng Yi to rush to kill Zhang Shun's main formation, rushing left and right, wailing and shaking the sky, and the two generals finally led the army to rush out.
Seeing that the enemy army threw away his armor and ran wildly towards the area of Hanshan. Zhang Shun wanted to lead the army to chase after him, but Kan Xun hurriedly stopped him and shouted, "Poor Kou Mo chase!" ”
Zhang Shun was furious, "At this time, it is a good time to defeat the enemy army and capture and kill the two generals Meng Yi and Wang Ze!" Why did Uncle and stop it! ”
Seeing Zhang Shun's angry expression, Kan Xun hurriedly dismounted and bent down to speak, "Although the enemy army is defeated, the retreat formation is not the slightest chaotic, I am afraid that there is fraud!" ”
Zhang Shun raised his eyes and saw that although the enemy army had lost his armor and abandoned his armor, the formation was neat, and Wang and Meng Er led the military horses to retreat to Hanshan. said, "Thanks to Mr. for reminding me, I almost fell for the thief's trick!" I wonder what the gentleman has planned? ”
Kan Xun said, "The thief army will flee to Hanshan to garrison this time, counting the distance, it will inevitably meet my reinforcement army, once encountered, how can Wang Ze and Meng Yi survive?" ”
"But......" Zhang Shun was not angry in his heart, and bent down and whispered in Kan Xun's ear, "Isn't that credit still taken by others?" ”
Kan Xun listened to this, shook his head and smiled, "No, no." The general took the lead like the city, leading the soldiers and horses in the city out of the city together, blocking the Hanshan pass. If Wang and Meng Er encounter a reinforcement army, they will definitely not be able to break through, and when they turn around and retreat, they will eventually fall into the hands of the general! ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Shun was overjoyed, nodded his head frequently, and immediately looked back at Fengling, and said, "You and I entered the city, I just wanted to ask Han Mei, I just fought with the enemy, why didn't you send troops to attack with me!" Bad for me! ”
Kan Xun nodded in agreement, and immediately got on the horse and said, "I'll enter the city first, and lead the Taishou out of the city to welcome the general into the city!" ”
When Kan Xun entered the city, after a short time, the city gate was wide open, but Han Mei was not seen, only Kan Xun led a group of people out of the city to greet him outside the city.
Without much thought, Zhang Shun immediately led the whole army into the city, eager to quickly lead the troops and horses to Hanshan to encircle it.
When the army entered the city, he suddenly heard that the city gate behind him was closed, but Kan Xun and everyone were still outside the city. Zhang Shun was immediately shocked in his heart, and ordered the soldiers and horses to shrink and move closer to him. Just as he was stunned, he heard a crisp voice on the city tower, saying:
"Han Xiaozhi has been waiting for a long time again!"
After hearing this, Zhang Shun looked up in a panic, but he didn't see him. Suddenly, a group of crossbowmen poured out of the front and rear towers in an instant, and they were stretching their bows and arrows, all with cold faces.
Knowing that it was a plan, Zhang Shun shouted at the city tower and said, "Han Yu'er dares to frame me!" There are 300 rounds of fighting with me! ”
"Hey! Boy, do you want to see our general? Let's see if you know grandpa! A big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist was sweating and laughing at the city tower.
"Wang Ze?" Zhang Shun knew at a glance that this person was the enemy general who had fought before, so his face was shocked, and he asked, "Haven't you fled to Hanshan with Meng Yi!" ”
"Hahahaha! Look clearly, grandpa is Li Ping, the former general of the South Camp, and Li Ziyuan is also! Li Ping crossed his waist and laughed, "Wang Yunfu has always stayed in Hanshan to garrison, but he saw your army cross the valley with his own eyes!" Grandpa was blinded to let you die, and just climbed up the ladder from outside the city to meet you! ”
"Puff Boy!" Zhang Shun scolded angrily, and then led the army to turn around and flee from the city.
Li Ping could not tolerate him, and immediately ordered a random arrow to be fired, and in an instant, the arrows on the city tower rained down, only to hear Zhang Shun's military horses wailing all over the ground. The city was crowded, and for a time people and horses scattered and fled, and countless people died, and a few were shot by arrows, and most of them trampled on each other and died. And Zhang Shun also fell to the ground with several arrows in his body, but was trampled into flesh by the fleeing people and horses, and his death was particularly terrifying.
Poor Zhang Shun, a dignified general in the Yue Kingdom, the emperor's brother-in-law. The uncle's revenge was not avenged, but he was tragically designed by Han Yu and died tragically in Fengling City.
The 5,000 Yue soldiers also lamented pitifully, because the main general was eager to chase Meng Yi with meritorious service, and was stripped of his rattan armor, and now he has become a live target for the crossbowmen.
In the wails of this massacre, Han Yu finally showed up. With a pale face, he shouted downstairs in a green robe, "My surname is Han, my name is Yu, and my name is Xiaozhi!" Remember my name, and you will come to seek revenge with me on the Huangquan Road in the future! ”
He turned his back and couldn't bear to see this massacre again.
However, it was said that Ji Gu, on the orders of Zhang Shunjun, led the army to chase with reinforcements, and ordered Chen Ang of the rear army to speed up the process, and the generals moved forward as one at a rapid pace, and finally arrived at Hanshan at the same time.
It was getting late, the clouds were thick, there was no moonlight, and the wind was blowing during the day.
Ji Gu only cared about urging the army forward, but he heard Chen Ang patting the horse behind him to advise, "This place is Hanshan, the road is narrow and long, the trees are thick, and it is surrounded by mountains. It's getting late, I'm afraid there will be an ambush! ”
Ji Gu was furious and reprimanded, "We have been ordered by the army to rush to the aid of the general, how can we delay it, and ruin the general's big business!" Since the general has been able to pass, why should we wait! ”
With that, he urged the march into the valley. Chen Ang suddenly felt like a numb heart, and ordered the rear army of 50,000 horses to march slowly, and marched at a distance from Ji Guqian's army.
"What a rat!" Ji Gu turned around and saw Chen Ang walking slowly, and smiled disdainfully.
When he led 150,000 rattan cavalry to the narrow part of the valley, he saw the woods on both sides, suddenly heard the shouts in the surrounding mountains vibrate, and saw a volley of rockets coming in the early morning, followed by two miscellaneous wood sparks. All of a sudden, there was fire everywhere. The wind was strong, the fire was fierce, and the 150,000 troops trampled on each other, and countless people died.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Ang hurriedly ordered to withdraw from the valley, and was spared. But he saw the army on the mountain rushing down, and Yu Jigu's army and horses were killed.
The sky was dark, Chen Ang couldn't see the number of enemy troops clearly, only heard the shouts of killing all around the valley, and immediately didn't care about rescuing Ji Gu's army, hurriedly turned around the march, grabbed the road and ran back.
Ji Gu fought desperately in the chaotic battle, and wanted to escape. ran into Wang Ze head-on, and after less than three rounds of fighting, he was stabbed under the horse by Wang Ze with a shot. The rest of the generals saw that Wang Ze was brave, and his military horses intercepted the rear, so they did not dare to fight head-on, and wanted to rush straight to the valley, kill the gap and flee to Fengling.
However, he heard that there were also shouts of killing at the mouth of the valley, and the military horses lined up at the mouth of the valley, and a burst of rockets came side by side, and it turned out that Meng Yi's military horses had been waiting in ambush for a long time.
Knowing that there was no hope of breaking through, the generals were unwilling to surrender and committed suicide one after another. The 150,000-strong army was leaderless at this moment, and it was already chaotic in the raging fire, trampling each other and fleeing.
When the slaughter is reached, the army is withdrawn. The Hangu Valley Road is full of corpses all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river. The 150,000 Vietnamese army was wiped out in the fire, but most of them trampled on each other and died tragically.
said that this big victory would repay Han Yu. But seeing that Han Yu had no expression on his face, he sat in the mansion blankly, muttering to himself, "Huangquan Road has come to seek revenge on me......
The generals couldn't hear the words clearly, but they saw that Han Yu's face was worried, and they all suppressed their joy, and asked puzzledly, "This time, our army won a great victory, and more than 100,000 main forces and horses of the Yue Kingdom were annihilated. This time, the Yue country suffered a heavy blow, just wait for my southern battalion to strike while the iron is hot, and the Yue country can be destroyed in one fell swoop! Why is the general so happy in such a happy event? ”
Han Yu didn't pay attention to it, but suddenly remembered that Kan Xun had the greatest merit, so he summoned Kan Xun to enter the palace and reward him.
After a while, he heard a panicked look on the left and right to report, "Kan Xun heard that the general has completely annihilated more than 100,000 troops in the Yue Kingdom, and he has committed suicide by hanging himself at home!" ”
When they heard this, the crowd was shocked. But seeing that although Han Yu was stunned, he quickly calmed down, and ordered in a calm tone, "Bury him thickly, so that his family can be appeased!" ”
Left and right led the order to retreat. Han Yu's face was melancholy, so he ordered all the generals to leave the mansion, and he quietly closed his eyes alone, humming the bleak and mournful "Southern Minor" in his mouth,
