"King Zuoxian, the two cities of Yanyin and Dingyang are guarded by a large number of Han troops. There is only Ganquan at the rear of Takahashi Road, and there are no defenders for the time being. ”

Hu Hao led 30,000 men, not searching for nearby villages, but pretending to advance towards Gaoqiao Road.

But when there were still fifty miles away from the garrison on Gaoqiao Road, 30,000 Hun cavalry suddenly turned into another road and bypassed Gaoqiao Road. Straight to Ganquan County behind.

30,000 men, all cavalry, with high mobility. Even if the garrison on the high bridge road reacted, they couldn't catch up with them.

After the Xiongnu army was rerouted, he had already hidden in Tai Shici, Ganquan County, and soon received the news.

Thirty thousand troops, and all of them cavalry. Hu Hao didn't want to hide it.

He just wants to take advantage of the mobility advantage and play a time difference.

After the diversion, the speed of the Hun army immediately increased.

An hour after their reroute, the 20,000 garrisons on Gaoqiao Road also began to advance towards Ganquan County.

But they were all infantry, and their speed was far inferior to that of the Hun army, not to mention that an hour had passed.

At this hour, the Hun army has bypassed, and now the 20,000 garrisons can only eat soil behind the Hun army.

"King Zuoxian, the Han people are scared, and they are behind our butts."

"How many are there?"

"At least forty thousand."

The garrison on Gaoqiao Road, when pursuing the Hun army, the spacing of the ranks was also doubled, and the number of banners was tripled.

It is very difficult to estimate the number of soldiers when the army is marching.

Not to mention that Tai Shi Ci is now deliberately letting people deliberately distance the team. Now there are 20,000 people, and the line is as long as an army of 40,000.

The Huns did not get too close to the horses, and it was even more difficult to accurately estimate the number of soldiers and soldiers.

The Xiongnu horses are estimated according to previous experience, the number of banners, and the length of the team.

Although I feel that the distance between the teams is a little wider, how wide it is, and the number of errors between them, is not something they can calculate in a short time.

Before thinking about it, I got the news that the garrison on Takahashi Road was at least 50,000.

reported to Hu Hao's ears, it was naturally 40,000.

"Hahaha......" Hearing that there were 40,000 Han soldiers and horses chasing behind, Hu Hao laughed, and he was not worried about being caught up at all.

At their speed, they plundered Ganquan County and left, and the soldiers and horses behind them were at least fifty miles away from Ganquan County.

With 40,000 behind him, plus 20,000 in the other three cities, there are already 100,000 troops here, plus the defenders on the Great Wall.

The information received before was that Tai Shici only had about 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

Even if the estimate is wrong, the lake thinks the number will not be too different.

The entire army of the state is now behind him.

Now the earth before him will be at their mercy.

In Ganquan City, Tai Shi Ci counted the time when the Huns came. Then let all the people in the city move to the mountains and forests.

"King Zuoxian, the Han people heard that we were coming, and now they are all hiding in the mountains."

When the Huns came, they happened to see the tail of the people entering the mountains and forests.

"All gone?" King Zuo Xian subconsciously thought that Ganquan City would be the same as those villages, just an empty city, and there was nothing left for him.

As the army approached, Hu Hao saw that the gates of Ganquan were wide open, and there was not a single defender on the city wall.

"You guys, go in and have a look." Hu Hao did not immediately lead the men and horses to rush in.

Instead, he waited outside the city with men.

Even if he had seen the people hiding in the mountains and forests, the lake was still very cautious.

A city, not a village.

When they enter the village and are ambushed, they can retreat.

But if you enter the city, it is not easy to retreat.

"King Zuoxian, the city is empty, and the Han people are in a hurry and don't take everything with them."

A few people who went in quickly rode back on horseback.

At this moment, Ganquan City is quiet, and there is still some food scattered on the ground at the entrance of the city.

Every house in the city, with their gates open, was telling those who came after them that they were in a hurry.

The Huns who entered the city ran along the streets on war horses, and there was no human figure at all.

Then he withdrew and reported to the lake.

But they didn't notice that on both sides of the street, in the houses with open doors, in the attics, countless pairs of eyes were staring at them.

The crossbow arrows, which had already been wound, were already aimed at their bodies.

Outside the city, Hu Hao relived a lot of information in his mind.

He was sure that there were no soldiers and horses of Tai Shici in Ganquan City.

Tai Shici's 100,000 troops have all been left behind by him.

"Into town!"

Lake Woo ordered.

The 30,000 Huns army can't wait.

Riding on a war horse, screaming and waving a whip, he rushed into the city of Ganquan.

Tai Shi Ci hid in the dwelling near the city gate, he did not rush to attack, and waited very patiently.

He wanted to wait for all the Huns to come in, and then close the city gates, and leave all the 30,000 Huns behind.

In recent years, the Huns have rarely made large-scale sorties. In the early years, they were all killed by Lu Bu.

If Lu Bu is still merging the state now, Hu Hao may not dare to lead the army to merge the state.

It's just that Lu Bu has been defeated by Li Dao and Guo Yan and fled to Nanyang.

The Huns, who rushed to the forefront, had already reached the central area of the county, and many people had already jumped off their horses and rushed into the surrounding houses.

Their first target was the homes of the gentry in the city.

This kind of thing, the Huns did a lot in Dahan, and they are all familiar with it.

Even if there are young Huns who participate for the first time, they will follow the older ones.

Gold and silver jewelry, all kinds of iron and ceramics, is what they want to compete for the most.

As for food or something, at this time, it is the least people to grab it.

The grain is too heavy, how much can one take?

Those exquisite jewelry, although you can't eat it, but as long as you bring it back, a piece of jewelry can be exchanged for at least a sheep.

If it is very precious, it is not a problem to exchange a dozen sheep.

What they grabbed, they all belonged to themselves.

These 30,000 Huns are already crazy.

Many people have all kinds of jewelry around their necks and hands, iron pots on their backs, and firewood knives in their hands.

Anything useful, anything that is not available on the steppe, whether large or small, they will not let go.

People with fast hands and feet are full of precious small objects.

Those who are slow with hands and feet can only take those large objects.

Those who are slower will have to carry heavy food on their backs.

As the king of Zuo Xian, Hu Hao naturally does not need to participate in the competition in person, and there will always be a lot of property piled up in front of him.

He was calculating when Tai Shi Ci would arrive after this, so that he could leave with someone.

For Ganquan City, it was not surprising that all the people of the city, including the officers and soldiers, fled.

This always happened every time the Xiongnu army marched south into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

They are not good at attacking cities, but for those small counties with only 1,000 troops, what can they do to defend the city.
