Chapter 202: Captured Alive
Zhang Yuan was also stunned, the avant-garde prince went directly?
After Gongsun He heard Gongsun Ao's shout, he also stood up and searched in the chaotic crowd.
"General, it's Yu Dan, it's Yu Dan!
Yay, the Huns are crazy, they are crazy!
It's Yu Dan! ”
Zhang Yuan didn't feel that the Huns were crazy, he felt that he was about to go crazy!
The Huns were too confident, and this kind of battle actually sent their own prince as the vanguard.
Do they think they can escape if they get in?
To be honest, if there was no Yu Dan, Zhang Yuan and Gongsun He might not fight hard with the Huns in order to reduce losses.
But just in front of him, most of the Han generals will choose to exchange the 160,000 Han troops in front of them for the Xiongnu prince.
Remember why Huo Qubing was able to bump into the main force of the Huns at the beginning when he went on the expedition? Did he find it himself? Or did the Huns take the initiative to find him?
Wei Qing's nephew is also Liu Che's nephew!
This can drive all the Huns crazy!
The same Yu Shan can make Han Jiang crazy, usually there is no chance, now this is Yu Shan sent to the door by himself, let him run away, when will there be such a great opportunity.
"Your Majesty told me that there is still a lack of Hun Youling to dance, I think Yu Dan is very good!
The order went down to capture Yu Shan alive, everyone knows what kind of reward it is to capture Yu Shan alive!
General Gongsun He, I'll go to the platform and find a way to trap Yu Shan here! ”
"Ranger General, do you have a solution?"
"Yes, but I don't know if I can do it, you have to exert force on your side.
Let's work together, we will be the first to catch Yu Shan! ”
"Ranger General, the last general asks to go to battle and capture Yu Shan alive!"
Gongsun Ao suddenly knelt on the ground and asked Zhang Yuan to fight.
Zhang Yuan thought about it, Gongsun Ao doesn't have much IQ, but Yongwu is estimated to be the first in such a group of people, and the crown prince of the Huns will not be weak in force, so it is a good choice to let Gongsun Ao go with Yu Shan alone.
However, Zhang Yuan was worried that he didn't want to give this military merit to Gongsun Ao, Zhang Yuan definitely didn't want to go back to Chang'an, Gongsun Ao's sand sculpture was the first achievement.
"General, the last general will not compete for military merit."
Gongsun Ao, who has always been dull, suddenly became smart at this time, and half or even one-third of the credit for capturing Yu Shan alive is enough for him to be a liege, so why bother to compete with Zhang Yuan.
"Okay, I hope General Gongsun Ao can be captured alive!"
The reason why Gongsun He didn't end up was because it didn't mean much to him anymore In fact, the credit for killing the king of Lou Fu was his Gongsun He, and with this, he could be crowned a marquis, and no matter how much credit Liu Che had, he would not be rewarded more, otherwise he would soon be rewarded.
Gongsun Ao was gone, and Zhang Yuan ran to the platform to teach the people to adjust the angle of the three-bow bed crossbow.
The power of the bed crossbow is so great that if you shoot it not at people but at the ground, it can form a wall of arrows.
Zhang Yuan wanted to rush deeper into the room, and then let the three-bow bed crossbow be launched together, blocking Yu Shan in the sea of people.
"Yes, yes, that's the angle, only the main arrow is installed, and the others don't need to be installed."
Zhang Yuan's purpose is not to kill people, so naturally he doesn't need to shoot thousands of arrows.
Soon the Han army formation changed, and the surrounding area was still a square military formation, but it was circular around the perimeter.
The strength of the military formation has changed from active to passive, and the barrel military formation has been slowly moving south.
Yu Shan also realized what was happening, and the eyes of the Han soldiers around him were red.
I knew that these were all slave soldiers of the Han Dynasty.
A group of slaves, merchants, sons-in-law, craftsmen, a group of people at the bottom of the ranks.
What is Yu Dan? The title of the Marquis!
How do you not go crazy?
One step to the sky, now in front of them, those at the bottom of society.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the current situation as a vicious dog pounced.
"Crazy, all crazy!
Han people are all crazy! ”
The battle of Ma Yi was fought at night, and no one could tell who was who, and Yu Shan had never seen such a crazy Han army.
"Protect me, rush out, break through!"
"Hahaha, Yu Dan Xiaoer, yes yes is here, don't run!
Three hundred rounds of battle with Yaye! ”
When Yu Shan was thinking about retreating, Gongsun Ao finally appeared and stopped directly in front of Yu Dan.
Gongsun Ao's voice is particularly familiar to Shan, and the two had a relationship during the Battle of Mayi.
Now that they are gathering again, it is really very popular for enemies to meet, but Yu Shan is not a person who is not afraid of death, and his obsession with running away now far exceeds the obsession of competing with Gongsun Ao.
Yu Shan avoided Gongsun Ao like this, and the Hun cavalry around him had been rushing towards Gongsun Ao without fear of death, to give Yu Shan a chance to breathe.
Zhang Yuan on the platform calculated the distance, estimated that it was about the same, and if he delayed it any longer, he would let Yu Dan run, that would be a blood loss!
"Okay, just keep shooting at this angle!"
"Whoa!"
The noose that controlled the three-bow bed crossbow was cut directly.
The barbed arrow, more than a meter long, swished out.
The sound of breaking the sky suddenly joined the ensemble.
The Huns suffered two great losses under the three-bow bed crossbow, and they all felt a chill in their waists.
The reason why the waist is cold and not the neck is cold is all because the steel feathers at the tail of the arrows of the three-bow bed crossbow can cut them off at the waist.
This time, though, their fears were redundant.
Except for some unlucky Hannu troops and Hun cavalry that were pierced by arrows, not many people were injured.
However, as more and more arrows were fired, a one-meter-high black wall of steel appeared out of thin air on the battlefield.
At this height, the war horse can leap over, but it needs to run and sprint, and the Hun cavalry is mixed with the Han army, and there is no condition to run at all.
Therefore, this wall that Zhang Yuan gave them was fatal to them.
"Da Dan is not good, the prince has fallen into the Han army's military array!"
Naturally, the Huns could not just let it go, and they kept staring at the changes on the battlefield, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly.
By the time the Huns found out that something was wrong, Yu Dan couldn't run away.
"What's wrong?"
"The Han people may have discovered the identity of the prince, and they surrounded the prince one by one to prevent him from escaping."
It's good to be dead, Zhang Yuan, you have to work harder!
Yi Zhi leaned to the side and cursed Yu Shan vigorously, this was the closest he had ever gotten to the position of Da Shan Yu.
After Yu Dan is finished, the military ministers have no particularly outstanding sons, and in the end, Da Dan Yu's position is almost Yi Zhi's.
Moreover, the position of King Zuo Xian is vacant, and Yi Zhi can take over as King of Zuo Gu Li.
As for the rest of the Right Xian King and the Right Valley Li King, they are all uncles of military ministers, and they are all dying of old age, so they are even less competitive.
"Pass my order, and send another 50,000 cavalry, and be sure to rescue my king!"
"Yes!"
Also gloating was Chu Da, who estimated that Zhang Yuan's idea of wanting Yu Shan to go to Jianzhang Palace to dance was about to come true.
"Untie Chu Da!"
The military minister suddenly chose to loosen Chu Da's ties at this time, which made Chu Da himself feel a little abrupt.
When the strip of cloth in his mouth was pulled out, Chu Da immediately thanked him.
"Thank you for the grace of not killing!"
"I wronged you before, don't get me wrong, I just want to test that ranger general Zhang Yuan.
I heard that he has a good relationship with you, but now it seems that the relationship between the two of you is not very good. ”
It seems that the Huns Dadan Yu Junchen has investigated Chu Da to the bottom.
Fortunately, the big man also hid it, otherwise there was really no way to get through.
"What Da Shan Yu said is that the Han people like to steal and play tricks the most, and Zhang Yuan and I are also superficial brothers, and when it comes to each other's interests, that little affection will naturally disperse with the wind."
"Oh, hehe, the surface brothers are interesting and interesting!"
The military minister tried to hide the panic in his heart with a smile, his own son was about to be captured alive by the Han Chinese, could he not panic.
Why did he think of Chu Da at this time, or because he was also worried that Yu Shan would surrender to the Han if he was caught.
In short, the military ministers would rather die in the battle than hear the news of Yu Dan's surrender to the Han Dynasty.
If his idea was known to Chu Da and Zhang Yuan, he would probably die of laughter.
Not only will they surrender, but they will also dance.
The Huns sent another 50,000 cavalry, but in fact, the pressure on the Han army was not particularly great.
Why did the location of Gaoque become the first line of resistance to the Xiongnu from the time of the pre-Qin period.
This terrain was completely unsuitable for large-scale cavalry charges, and earlier there were already 50,000 Hun cavalry in contact with the Han army, and it was in vain for the Huns to send another 50,000.
It does not mean that there is no threat to the Han army, but the innermost barrel army formation surrounded by Shan will not be rushed by the impact of these 50,000 cavalry at all.
The 50,000 Hun cavalry from behind could only put pressure on the Hun cavalry in front, and they originally ordered Yu Shan to retreat, but 50,000 people came to drive themselves to the front.
Are you angry?
If Yu Shan could escape, the result was 50,000 cavalry on his side in front of him, and the speed of escape would not be slowed down with him.
"The live target came, and all the arrows were loaded, and the angle was slightly raised.
Give me all the arrows today! ”
"Whoa!"
The platform on which the three-bow bed crossbow was located was not far from the battlefield, just on the slopes on either side.
All the trees were cut down on the section of the road where the arrow had to pass.
The position of the Gaoque Pass was fixed, and the Hun cavalry could only rush in this direction if they wanted to attack, which provided convenience for the heavy and large weapons such as the three-bow bed crossbow.
Zhang Yuan saw that the Xiongnu came to support, rearranged the tasks for the people, and then quickly returned to Dianjiangtai.
There was no nervous look on Gongsun He's face.
The 200,000 Hun cavalry could also destroy the Han army at once, penetrate the army formation, cross the pass and enter the Hetao area.
But when you come in waves, aren't you just giving people away?
Of course, the consumption of the Han army is also very large, almost in a ratio of one to one with the Hun cavalry.
But the Han army consumed the slave army with the worst combat effectiveness, while the Huns consumed the most elite cavalry.
The 20,000 regular troops, fully armored and well-armed, are still firing dark arrows in the back.
20,000 people are enough to resist 50,000 Hun cavalry, and if there is a three-bow bed crossbow to assist, you can fight with 60,000 cavalry.
"General, your arrow wall is beautiful.
Yu Shan has nowhere to escape this time. ”
"Well, it's up to Gongsun Ao.
When Gongsun Ao captures Yu Dan, the Huns will either go crazy and attack us directly, or they will withdraw first to find other countermeasures. ”
"I'm afraid they'll go crazy, and we'll not be able to resist a day of non-stop attacks for twelve hours."
"Look at it again, we are not so weak, with our backs to the Yangshan moat, it's a big deal to retreat to the Hetao to fight guerrillas with them."
"What guerrilla?"
"They Huns have crossed the Yin Mountain, and they have to cross the Yellow River, we take a step back, and we can also fight with them on the edge of the Yellow River.
However, it depends on whether the military ministers are willing or not, and the 200,000 Hun cavalry is more than the number of people in the tribes of the King of Lou Fu and the King of Aries combined.
After catching Yu Dan, we found a head similar to Yu Dan and hung it on my banner.
The military minister knew that Yu Shan was dead, so he shouldn't be so crazy, all he was worried about was Yu Dan's surrender.
If he was really worried about Yu Dan's life, he wouldn't have sent Yu Dan to our mouths as a vanguard general in the first place. ”
The military ministers didn't expect Zhang Yuan to guess his mind completely.
In fact, it is still a matter of knowledge, emperors throughout the ages have been like this, and they would rather their sons die in battle than their humiliating surrender.
Surrender would be a huge blow to the entire country and nation.
This is also why Liu Che is keen to capture the Hun leaders alive, and let the Huns work under his own hands.
On the one hand, it is to show its mind, and on the other hand, it is to show its strength and humiliate the Huns.
"I didn't expect you to think about our future path."
"There's no way, our Han army can't be consumed in this place in vain.
There will be many big battles to be fought in the future, and if we defeat the old bottom at the beginning, we will be more and more difficult in the future. ”
"Mmmm, look, Gongsun Ao has changed formation!"
He didn't catch Yu Shan alive for a long time, and the ruthlessness in Gongsun Ao's bones also exuded.
He immediately ordered the surrounding soldiers to take out the iron cables, and almost twenty steel cables were straightened in the barrel array.
These soldiers with steel cables were all running in the direction of Yu Dan.
Even if there are their own people in the middle, they are not merciful at all.
Gongsun Ao's meaning is very simple, that is, to confine Yu Dan to one place, so that he can't move.
It's much harder to catch someone than to kill someone.
If you want to kill someone, you can simply shoot an arrow at 360 degrees without dead ends.
The Huns did not have the habit of carrying shields, so they could not withstand such an attack.
But if you catch it alive, you will be much more afraid.
Gongsun Ao not only used a steel cable, but even took out a giant shield more than one person high.
In the front is a huge shield on top, and behind are chains.
It's all around in this formation.
There are fewer and fewer people in the giant shield, not only the Huns, but also the slave army of the Han Dynasty.
Gongsun Ao's method is still very effective.
Yu Shan had no way to escape.
Soon the giant shield formed a two-meter square area.
No matter how much Yu Shan struggled inside, he couldn't push these shields.
Because the outside of the shield has been surrounded by steel cables.
This was the way to deal with the beast, but now it was used on Yu Shan.
"Brothers, the crown prince of the Huns was captured alive by us, hahahaha!"
Gongsun Ao is now in high spirits.
Yu Dan, who was trapped, was directly dragged to the position of Dianjiangtai by the Han army.
