Chapter 290: The Battle Book of the Empty Village Takahashi Road
The three county towns that Tai Shici sent three people to go to were all relatively close to the crossing point of the Xiongnu army.
At the same time, Tai Shici sent a large number of men and horses into the surrounding villages, so that the people in these villages took all the food and temporarily hid in the mountains or the county seat.
Most of the villagers were reluctant to leave, but when they learned that it was the Huns who had crossed the Yellow River.
Even if these villagers don't want to, they don't dare to stay in the village anymore.
Yu Fuluo, who had stayed in Bingzhou before, had just been eliminated for less than half a year.
These villagers were deeply impressed by the Huns.
Besides, Tai Shici did not let them abandon their family business, but just hid temporarily.
After he exterminated the 30,000 Huns, the villagers could come back.
Villagers in various villages in Binh Duong County soon hid in the mountains and forests with food, leaving only empty villages.
Tai Shici personally led the remaining 50,000 troops and advanced towards the position of the Huns.
It's just that when passing through Ganquan County, Tai Shici quietly left 10,000 soldiers.
Then with an army of 40,000, he continued to advance and set up camp on the high bridge road, which was two hundred miles away from the crossing of the Yellow River.
When Tai Shici's army arrived here, all 30,000 Huns had crossed the Yellow River.
The distance between Gaoqiao Road and Ganquan, Fuxian, Yanyin, and Dingyang counties is almost 200 to 300 miles.
Ganquan County is behind Tai Shici, Dingyang and Yanyin are on the left and right, and Fu County is at the front.
The four counties just surrounded Tai Shici's army in the middle.
The Huns wanted to go deep into the state, and Gaoqiao Road was the most convenient road.
But this is not the only way to go.
The Huns could advance in the direction of the four counties, and bypassing Gaoqiao Road would also bypass the large army that Tai Shici was stationed here.
Gaoqiao Road is only the most convenient way for the Huns to go deep into the state, but it is not the only way.
The movements of Taishici's army were also quickly discovered by the Huns.
After Tai Shi Ci's army was stationed in Gaoqiao Road, Tai Shi Ci wrote a letter and sent a messenger to the Huns.
The content of the letter is very simple, that is, Tai Shici has transferred the villagers from various villages. The Huns did not want to sack the village again.
And Tai Shi Ci was willing to give up the defense of the city wall, so that if the Huns had the courage, they would come to Gaoqiao Road to fight with Tai Shi Ci to determine the victory.
It's just that after the envoy was sent out, Tai Shici quietly retreated to Ganquan County at night with 20,000 people.
Coupled with the 10,000 people who were secretly left behind when he came before, there are already 30,000 soldiers and horses in Ganquan County.
Although he sent a war letter to the Huns, Tai Shici did not think that the Huns would really come to Gaoqiao Road.
Takahashi Road is now on the surface, but 50,000 elite soldiers are stationed.
The three cities of Fuxian, Yanyin, and Dingyang were also defended by 10,000 soldiers.
Although the Huns had an army of 30,000, they were all cavalry, and it would be very difficult to break through the three cities, and they also had to worry about Tai Shici's support.
Tai Shi Ci left Ganquan to the Huns.
Now the 30,000 soldiers in Ganquan County are hiding in the city.
As long as the Huns dare to come, Tai Shici wants them to come and not return.
"Haha, the Han people are still like this, a little agitation method, they also want to provoke me?"
Zuo Xian Wang Hu directly burned Tai Shici's war book.
He hadn't forgotten the purpose of this trip south.
He wanted to plunder the property of the Han Chinese, especially grain, salt, and iron tools.
Fighting with the Han Chinese army?
Hu Hao went south with an army of 30,000 Huns, and this idea never arose.
The reason why he transferred to Merge Prefecture after plundering Chang'an was because he wanted to loot a little more.
He did not go to Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which was the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.
Even though Dahan is now in civil strife, he is still worried that he will be trapped in Dahan.
It's just that soon, Huhao can't laugh anymore.
The people and horses sent out returned empty-handed. The village they entered was all empty, not only could not be seen by a single villager, but there was not even a bite to eat, let alone pots and bowls.
The villagers were not wealthy, and they didn't have much at home, so they easily took them all away.
Hu Yu didn't expect that Tai Shi Ci would really evacuate all the villagers and leave nothing for him.
"I don't believe it yet."
He continued to advance with an army of 30,000 men, constantly sending men and horses to search the villages.
No!
No!
Or nothing!
The Hun cavalry had their advantages, but this was the territory of the Han Chinese.
Although it is known that the Han people may have taken refuge in the nearby mountains and forests.
But Huhao did not dare to send a large army to search the mountains.
They were all cavalry, and if they wanted to search the mountains, they had to dismount.
If there is an ambush, the Huns who search the mountains will be killed.
The lake is not enough yet, and he will take risks for the sake of the villagers' little things.
He didn't believe that there would be no one in the whole state, in all the villages.
And how long can these villagers hide in the mountains?
In the mountains, ordinary villagers don't get much food.
When the food is finished, it must come out.
Because he knew Tai Shici's soldiers and horses, he was now stationed on Gaoqiao Road.
And they constantly sent troops and horses to search the village, so although the 30,000 troops of Huhao were all cavalry, the speed of advance was not fast.
Two days after crossing the river, Huhao finally came to the city of Fuxian with an army of 30,000.
All I saw along the way were empty villages, and the lake also wanted to build a small city.
But look at the closed gates, and the defenders on the walls.
The lake completely dispelled the idea of attacking the city.
"Now it seems that the information received earlier is correct."
When crossing the river, Hu Hao also sent scout horses to investigate the movements of Tai Shici's army.
He had read the information sent back by Tanma, and there were already 20,000 soldiers stationed in Fuxian, Dingyang, and Yanyin.
He only had an army of 30,000 Huns, and there was almost no hope of attacking these three cities.
"Write me a reply letter and send it to Tai Shici." Hu Hao called the guards around him.
Hu's reply was quickly sent to the camp on Gaoqiao Road.
It was only after the Xiongnu envoy left that the letter was sent to Ganquan County non-stop. This came to the hands of Tai Shici.
"Three days later, a showdown!"
Hu Hao's letter is only seven words, which can be regarded as a response to Tai Shici's previous battle letter.
It's just that after Tai Shici saw it, he threw it aside, and he didn't take anyone back to the camp on Gaoqiao Road.
Now there are only 20,000 soldiers left on Takahashi-do.
If the target of the 30,000 cavalry of the Huns is really Gaoqiaodao.
Hu Hao really wants to compete with Tai Shici.
The 20,000 infantry on the high bridge road, without the support of the city wall, was definitely a bloody battle.
But now on the bright side, there are 50,000 elite soldiers stationed on the high bridge road.
Tai Shi Ci didn't believe in Huhao, and really dared to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack the camp of 50,000 infantry.
This is not a chance encounter on the prairie.
Unless Hu Yu has already explored clearly, he knows the true layout of Tai Shi Ci.
