Sure enough, not long after leaving Linfen, Zhao Ming encountered an attack by the Hun iron cavalry.

There was a small amount of harassment, and it didn't take long for thousands of horsemen to arrive.

Zhao Ming's army had already been prepared, the cane was in front, Fenshui was behind, and the Hun cavalry attacked and disturbed several times, but there was no choice but to gradually retreat.

The sky was dark, and the army was encamped, but Fan Zeng said: "The Huns returned in vain today, and it is expected that they will not be reconciled, I am afraid that the camp will be attacked tonight." ”

The Hu people's night battle is also a must, and their night vision ability is by no means comparable to that of the Han army.

Zhao Ming frowned, and said: "If you set up an ambush to lure the Huns into the hub, I am afraid that the night battle may not necessarily be able to take advantage of the Huns, but our army will lose the power of the cane, how is it good?" ”

Fan Zeng said: "The king has forgotten that there are also 6,000 Qiang people in my Longxi army, and the ability to fight at night is not under the Huns." ”

Zhao Ming patted his head and said secretly: I really selectively forgot that most of my army are Qiang people, even if it is his own Imperial Forest Army, there are many Qiang, Hu and Han mixed blood, Wudu, Yinping soldiers and Longxi army in general, there are a lot of mixed blood, and some of them are Qiang people, or Di people, these three counties are all border troops, compared to the soldiers of the counties in the interior of the Central Plains, they are not too scared of the Hu people.

Zhao Ming secretly blamed himself, he forgot such an important thing, how to do the commander of the three armies in the future to correct the name of the Wuwang Mansion? Since the last time he successfully deduced the battle situation, he was only keen on analyzing the enemy's situation, but did not recognize the advantages and disadvantages of his own army.

"Didi...... The host can do 'three provinces and my body', find their own shortcomings, congratulations to the host for adding five points. ”

No way! Add so much? Isn't that cool!

Name: Ming Zhao

Age: 14

Dominion: 63

Force: 68

Intelligence: 80

Politics: 84

Charisma: 47

Loyalty: 90 (Zhao Yi, the Son of Heaven)

Feature: (None)

Unconsciously added a little charm, not bad.

Zhao Ming didn't dare to think about it at the moment, and said: "What Yafu reminded is that the lonely king has been taught, so he asked Yafu to arrange an ambush and prepare for a night battle. ”

Fan Zeng nodded and said: "The big tent of the Chinese army is the most important, the Huns are brave and brave, the main general will take the big tent of the Chinese army, if the main general of the Huns can be killed here, then our army will be able to enter Pingyang safely." ”

Zhao Ming also smiled: "In this way, didn't the Huns send me to wait for a big victory?" ”

On the third watch of the month, the Huns really attacked the camp, led by one person to lead hundreds of horsemen to take the big tent of the Chinese army, and opened the tent curtain before getting the tent.

Empty.

Knowing that he had been deceived, he wanted to lead the troops out of the camp.

How could he leave so calmly? Suddenly, the drums shook the sky, and the ambush soldiers rose in all directions, and Lu Wenlong, Mu Yu, Yang Yansi, and Yang Yanshun took the Hun generals on all sides.

Not only the death battle in front of the big tent, Yang Zaixing, Zhang Rong, Yue Yun, and Yuan Hu also led troops to besiege and kill the Hun cavalry, Yuan Xiang was in the outermost periphery, responsible for leading the headquarters to quickly put the cane in place, and the Huns who entered the camp were surrounded by water, this time, Zhao Ming was determined to kill this Hun cavalry, if there was only this Hun cavalry on the front line of Pingyang, the situation in Pingyang would be reversed after this annihilation.

A big battle was fought in the middle of the night, and the battle ended when the sky was slightly bright.

In this battle, the results were very brilliant, and 5,000 Hun cavalry were annihilated. The battle damage was as large as expected. Zhao Ming closed the door and beat the dogs, and at the same time stimulated the blood of the Huns, since they couldn't run away, they had to fight hard.

Yuan Hu suffered 2,800 casualties; 500 Yuan Xiang were killed and wounded; Yang Zaixing's cavalry battalion suffered 300 casualties; Zhang Rongbu suffered 600 casualties; The Imperial Guards suffered 300 casualties.

In an ambush battle, 5,000 enemies were annihilated, and he also lost 5,000 people, but no matter what, this was indeed a big victory, this was 5,000 cavalry. In a frontal field battle, 30,000 foot soldiers may not be able to defeat 5,000 cavalry.

The bigger gain was that he actually collected three thousand war horses, which was a big fortune, Zhao Mingyi was happy, and rewarded the thirty thousand soldiers and horses from Ran Huguo with the same amount of money per person.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't plan to hack this money, he just wanted to keep it for an opportunity to boost morale, and the good money should be used at a critical moment.

This time he got a small 3,000 war horses, Zhao Ming didn't generously give them to Eryuan, these two people are too low-grade, they can't compare to Wang Dazhui and Changsun Sheng, and they can't share the spoils with him, but after a big battle, people also contributed a lot, and Yuan Hubu lost 30% of soldiers and horses, if he didn't say anything, he couldn't say anything. So he waved his hand and sent the money down.

This time he brought 6,000 Qiang soldiers to really bring the right one, and the small 3,000 war horses were directly distributed to Zhang Rong's Qiang soldiers, so that Zhao Ming suddenly had more than 5,000 powerful cavalry. The waist pole stiffened suddenly, even if there were another 5,000 Hun cavalry, what was there to fear?

Brother these are also Qiang riders with red roots.

After that, all the way into Binh Duong was unimpeded.

In the city of Pingyang, the two kings met.

Zhao Ming arched his hand and said: "Child, Zhao Ming has seen King Pingyang and Wang Shizi. As he spoke, he quietly scanned the data of the two.

Zhao Hu: Domination 86, Armed Forces 84, Intelligence 62, Politics 80, Charisma 76, Age 46, Identity: King of Pingyang.

Zhao Li: Domination 87, Armed Forces 88, Intelligence 61, Politics 70, Charisma 71, Age 28, Identity: Prince of Pingyang.

The father and son's data are acceptable, and they are not mediocre.

Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "Why should King Wu be polite, my father and son have not thanked King Wu for being able to help him and come without fear of hardship." ”

Zhao Ming said: "We are all the people of Dayan, and we are also the blood of the royal family, and we are just diligent in the king's affairs. ”

The two exchanged a few more words, and Zhao Hu set up a banquet to entertain everyone.

During the banquet, Zhao Ming was worried about the war, and asked directly without nonsense: "Does the King of Pingyang know how many Hun soldiers and horses are still on the front line of Pingyang?" How about Jinyang? ”

Zhao Hu shook his head and said: "I don't know, but a few days ago, the soldiers besieging the city, the lonely king could not look down on the thirty or forty thousand people. It's just that yesterday, for some reason, suddenly retreated a hundred miles. ”

Zhao Ming nodded and said: "The night before yesterday, 5,000 Hun cavalry attacked my camp at night, and I was completely annihilated. ”

Zhao Hu was overjoyed and said, "King Wu really annihilated five thousand cavalry? ”

Zhao Ming said: "How dare you say such a big thing, our army did annihilate five thousand Hun cavalry, but our army also suffered heavy losses, and at the moment, morale is not high." ”

Zhao Ming, who was born Scrooge, has been thinking about the tens of thousands of dollars that were scattered after the war two days ago, and at this moment he wants to take it back from the hands of this grandfather's king of Pingyang.

King Pingyang has been running Pingyang for decades, and although Pingyang County is located in the annexed state, it is also managed by him with a sound and dense population, and it is considered rich in the land of the annexed state. I don't know how many times richer than Zhao Ming and Longxi's money-losing land.

After hearing this, Zhao Hu was a little anxious and asked, "What should I do at this time when I use troops?" ”

Zhao Mingdao: "So that the king of Pingyang can know that the Huns are brave and brave, although they were ambushed and killed by me, but they are all desperate, everyone dares to die, and after a battle, my soldiers know the courage of the Huns, and now there is a lot of cowardice." However, most of the soldiers in my Longxi, Wudu, and Yinping counties are of mixed Qiang, Hu and Han blood, and they are not too scared of the Hu people, and there are thousands of Qiang people under the command of the Lone King, but there are many people of different races who are greedy and love money. ”

Zhao Hu's father and son understood, this is a benefit, but it is not easy for people to save themselves, their father and son are much more generous than Zhao Ming, and immediately said: "Money and goods are easy to say, I still have some savings in Pingyang, everyone is consistent, if this battle is won, there will be another reward." ”

Zhao Ming hurriedly thanked him, and after a few more words, he re-introduced the topic to the war.

Zhao Ming said: "I don't know how many soldiers are still fighting in Pingyang?" ”

Zhao Hu replied: "There are no less than 10,000 soldiers who can fight, and the training is quite diligent on weekdays, but my son Zhao Li personally supervises it, and it can be on the battlefield, and there are no less than 10,000 sets of weapons and armor in the arsenal. ”

Zhao Ming said: "In this way, our strength can reach more than 40,000 people, if you go out of the city to fight, you can also recruit more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, according to Pingyang Wang Fangcai said, the Huns 30,000 or 40,000 people, after losing the cavalry, the strength is equivalent to our army, we may take the initiative to fight, take advantage of the Huns less cavalry, the 30,000 or 40,000 Huns will be defeated, otherwise, the Hun cavalry reinforcements will come again, and it will be difficult for us to win again." ”

Zhao Hu pondered, it was not a trivial matter to go out of the city to seek war, and if he didn't get it right, he would lose his Pingyang City. In fact, he hated this Xiongnu army more than anyone else, and he had been operating for decades in the land of Pingyang to have today's prosperity, but as soon as the Xiongnu soldiers came, the counties outside Pingyang City were basically abolished, and a large number of people fled south, and most of the people who remained were old and weak, and the money and grain were looted, and the entire Pingyang County regressed for decades.

At this moment, he only has one hope left, Pingyang City, which is the essence of the entire Pingyang County, rich in money and food, and densely populated.

Take the initiative to fight, and it is naturally best to win, if you lose, Pingyang City may not be able to hold it.

Zhao Ming focuses on the overall situation, if the front line of Pingyang can be won, then the rescue of Jinyang is expected. And Zhao Hu's feelings for Pingyang are too deep, his eyes and pattern are limited to this place, whether it is grand strategy or Jinyang, it is not as important to him as Pingyang. If there was no Pingyang, he didn't believe that the emperor would give him a fief again, and without the fief, he would not even have any income as a county king.

Taking the initiative to seek war was a strategy that Zhao Ming discussed with Fan Zeng and others on the road.

If they don't take advantage of this to defeat the Pingyang Xiongnu, and wait for the Hun cavalry to come to their aid, they can only stick to Pingyang City and wait for the army.

Although there are 300,000 troops in Hedong, but counting on them to push the battle line to Pingyang City, whether they can win or not, even if they can really fight here, they don't know how many months it will take, and Jinyang may have been lost long ago.

The loss of Jinyang is a protracted war, which is the last thing Zhao Ming wants to see.

Battle, break the situation with points, and promote the overall front with a point in Pingyang.

Didn't you surround the point and send reinforcements? I will kill you 30,000 or 40,000 people first, and if you come again, I will find a way to kill you, turn Pingyang into a meat grinding ground, constantly strangle the Xiongnu soldiers and horses, weaken the Xiongnu power, and then find an opportunity for a decisive battle.

If the Xiongnu raised troops to come, he retracted to Pingyang City to defend to the death, the Xiongnu siege ability is not strong, and he has tens of thousands of horses, if he defends, it is difficult for the Xiongnu to break the city in a month or two, then the Hedong army can enter the Shangdang, recover the whole county of Shangdang, and then rescue Jinyang from the Shangdang to cut off the Xiongnu return.

This is the strategy that Fan Zeng offered to break the game with points before he came.

As long as Ran Huguo in the rear can ensure that his reinforcements will come continuously, Zhao Ming has 5,000 Qiang cavalry in his hands, and he is not afraid to fight with the Huns at all.
