Chapter 359: Convergence
Liu Weichen's intestines are now repentant, if he had known, he should not have divided his troops and went out. If you use 1,000 cavalry to attack the Huashan army, or if you don't rush forward with greed, I'm afraid that your own men and horses will not be defeated so badly. It's too late to say anything now, if you want to blame it, you can only blame them for not facing the Huashan Army on the battlefield before, and they don't understand the combat style of the Huashan Army at all. Otherwise, there would not have been such an outcome.
Shao Zisong didn't expect to solve this group of enemies so easily, but he didn't know that Liu Weichen had already run away. At this time, the problem in front of him was another part of the enemy army in the north.
"Deputy General Liang, Luguan will be handed over to you here, be careful to defend. I'll take someone to the north to see what is going on! After the battle, Shao Zisong hurriedly called Liang Cheng and said.
"Don't worry, the general, the general understands!"
Shao Zisong packed up his troops and horses, and took a thousand men and horses to the north to join Deng Qiang and them. However, because there were still 500 cavalry sent out by Liu Weichen over there, he had to go back to the pass first to get some arrows before leaving.
Thanks to the preparation before the battle, otherwise, all the arrows would have been exhausted just by firing these few volleys. Fortunately, the war was won, and it was worth it.
When the battle on the Luguan side was about to end, Deng Qiang's side was already over, and the situation on the battlefield was almost one-sided. Since the mountains on both sides of the straight are almost vertical, it is impossible to climb directly from the bottom.
At the same time, there are soldiers of the Huashan Army on both sides! Therefore, even if the Hun soldiers hid at the bottom of the valley and wanted to resist the arrows on the mountain with the protruding stones on the mountain wall, it would not work at all.
In this way, after the battle, the Hun soldiers below were almost finished. The few who remained, chose to surrender, but there were not many of them.
Fortunately, the previous purpose was still achieved, and there were a lot of war horses left behind by this group of people, and at a cursory glance, there were at least 3,000 horses, which made Deng Qiang and them so happy!
"General, General, another team of cavalry from the south is coming, it seems that it should be reinforcements sent by the enemy army outside Luguan!" Just as Deng Qiang was leading people to clean up the battlefield, spies rushed to report.
"The time should be about the same! Quick, leave some of the people to pack up their horses, and the rest of them will follow me to resist! We can't let those guys miss our big deal! Hearing this, Deng Qiang immediately ordered.
The enemy will have reinforcements, which was expected in the morning. After all, the ambush was only thirty or forty miles away.
Therefore, when the ambush was successful, they only removed the barrier to the north first, so that they could enter it, while the south one remained there.
"Chief, why can't you hear any sound inside?" The group rushed to the obstacle to the south, listened carefully, and felt that it was quite quiet inside, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and get off the horse and move these stones away, we have to go in and have a look." Perhaps, the generals have already escaped the siege and killed to the north! We can also meet them early! The tribal handsome looked at it at this time, and immediately scolded.
So all the horsemen turned over and dismounted, and ran to the pile of stones and trees to move their things. With the efforts of everyone, this mess was finally slowly removed.
"What's that?" Due to the darkness in the valley, and the burning branches and the like that were thrown away before have not been completely extinguished, there are still green smoke rising in front of me, blocking the view. Some people noticed that there seemed to be something on the other side, and they couldn't help but be curious.
"Woohoo!" As soon as the men's words fell, a sound was heard that pierced the air.
"No, it's a bow and arrow!" The ones in the front finally saw it clearly at this time, and those in the back, even if they didn't see it, had already guessed it. Shocked, everyone stepped back.
But where was the speed of their retreat as fast as the arrows, and in the blink of an eye, the arrows were piercing their bodies.
"Kill!" After three rounds of arrows, half of the Huns fell. The rest of the people were rushing back at this time, wanting to get on their horses and resist. But at this time, Deng Qiang had already personally led everyone to rush out of it.
The cavalry, once there is no run-up and the speed does not come up, basically the combat effectiveness is not high, and this is obviously the case at this time.
The cavalry finally got on their horses, and when they saw that something bad was going to happen, they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they hurriedly turned their horses and ran back the way they came.
They rode and ran, and Deng Qiang couldn't catch up with them on two legs. So, after chasing for a while, I saw that the other party was gone, so I stopped. However, in order to prevent the other party from killing the horse pistol, Deng Qiang did not leave, but took some of the men and horses to rely on the mountain walls on both sides to defend it.
However, his actions had no effect, because the Hun cavalry who were lucky enough to escape for their lives, after running for a while, happened to meet Shao Zisong and them who were heading north.
Another bow and arrow came down, and in the end only a few lucky guys ran back. However, if they ran into Liang Cheng and them over there, they probably wouldn't be able to run away.
The battle of Luguan ended here, and Deng Qiang and Shao Zisong worked closely together to completely solve the Xiongnu army that came along the way. Except for Liu Weichen and a few people who escaped north along the river valley, it can be said that the 5,000 men and horses were really wiped out.
After Shao Zisong completed the interception task, he knew that Deng Qiang's side should not have a big problem, so he led his men and horses north to join him. In the evening, he finally arrived in the valley, and at this time, Deng Qiang and the others had just finished cleaning the battlefield and were about to go to Luguan to join him.
"Brother Deng, it seems that you fought a good battle! Look at this war horse, I'm greedy! Deng Qiang and his group were beaming, everyone rode forward on horseback, holding one horse in their hands, and some people even led two. Seeing this scene, Shao Zisong smiled at Deng Qiang.
"Speaking of which, it is thanks to the cooperation of General Shao and his brothers, otherwise, how could you get so many war horses! The way south is not near, night has fallen, and there are many horses, so you should all get on the horses! Let's go back to Luguan first! Deng Qiang arched his hand and said.
This was a good idea, and Shao Zisong did not refuse. At the sound of an order, the soldiers and horses who went north to support each chose a war horse and rode up, and everyone marched towards Luguan together.
These war horses have been adjusted ~ by the Huns, so they are very suitable to use. Moreover, the quality of this batch of war horses of the Huns is very good, and with this thing, it will be much faster when it comes to traveling.
After returning to Luguan, everyone rested for a while, had a full meal, and the fatigue of the past few days was swept away. Especially when a lot of horses died outside the city, it was a good time for everyone to have a good meal.
The soldiers went to rest after eating, while some generals such as Shao Zisong, Deng Qiang, and Liang Cheng sat together to discuss things.
"The siege of Luguan is solved, this is not as good as the side of Bingzhou, once the enemy is defeated, basically it will not come again for a long time! We now have more than 3,000 soldiers and horses here, so we can just think about how to use them! "Shao Zisong's qualifications in the Huashan Army are older than the two of them, so although he is the youngest, he is faintly headed by him.
"Luguan can leave some troops here to garrison. Before I came, the general once told me that if we have the strength to spare, we will go to the support of General Lee! After all, Xiao Guan's side is facing the main force of 15,000 Huns, which is much more dangerous than here! Deng Qiang nodded, and then said.
"Oh? The general has some explanations? Why wasn't it explicitly stated in the military order before? Hearing this, Shao Zisong and Liang Cheng couldn't help but say strangely.
"It's hard to say after all! After all, what the outcome of our battle of Luguan will be, the general can't predict! After all, our men and horses are inferior to the Huns, and they are infantry against cavalry. The general should think that if he asks for it like this, it is a little too unreasonable! Deng Qiang pondered for a moment before he said.
For this statement, Shao Zisong and Liang Cheng also agree with it. After all, even they themselves couldn't have imagined that this time against the Hun cavalry would be solved so easily.
"To say that the siege of Luguan can be quickly resolved this time, it is thanks to Shi Chen's kid's strategy. After this incident, I will ask the general for his credit, what do you think? Speaking of this, Deng Qiang remembered the lieutenant who came up with the idea, so he proposed.
"It is natural to be rewarded for meritorious service, we are not Jiang Zuo or Yan Guo, who are engaged in that set of tricks for power and profit. Since it was his idea, give him a big credit! In short, you can't let the brothers chill it! Shao Zisong has no objection to this proposal.
Hearing him say this, Deng Qiang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Shao Zisong has been here for so long, and his position as the first merit can't run! As for Shi Chen, it should be second unexpectedly. But if Shao Zisong is against it, he can't say anything!
"Now that the general has explained before, I think we can go and support Xiao Guan! Especially after getting this batch of war horses, our marching speed can be greatly improved! It's just that you have to think about how to act! Liang Cheng won't care much about merit, he said at this time.
"Originally, I didn't have any good solutions, but Brother Deng made a detour this time, which gave me an inspiration. Why don't we do it like this, and do it again? Hearing this, the three of them groaned, Shao Zisong's eyes suddenly lit up, looked at the two and said.
