The news of the siege of Ganyang and the loss of Ganyang by the Hu soldiers reached Xinjing and Wanzhou City successively after only four or five days.

Anyone who knew about this was all scared into a cold sweat.

Especially Xie Yuheng and others, who were commanding operations in Wanzhou, couldn't believe that the Hu people had captured a big city like Ganyang with heavy troops so quickly.

When they received the news that Ganyang was besieged, they had already decided to transfer 80,000 horses from Wanzhou to reinforce them.

But no one expected that just as they were about to transfer troops, they received the news of the loss of Ganyang.

At this time, the head of Ganyang City has been replaced with the military flag of the Great Turk, which cannot deceive people, and Ganyang has indeed fallen into the hands of the Hu people.

But where did the Hu people come from to attack Ganyang? Don't......

Xie Yuheng suddenly thought of a terrible conjecture.

As if to fulfill his conjecture, the army of 100,000 Hu people, who had been driving the captured civilians to frantically attack the city, suddenly retreated.

It's not acting, it's really retired.

The 100,000 Hu people left hundreds of thousands of captured civilians and withdrew their troops very quickly, almost overnight.

Seeing the empty camp of the Hu people, as well as the hundreds of thousands of civilians under the city who were abandoned like garbage and wandered, Xie Yuheng knew that he had been tricked.

It turned out that the real target of the Hu people was not Wanzhou, but Ganyang.

There were no ambushes outside the city, and only the 100,000 Hu people who came to attack Wanzhou and the hundreds of thousands of civilians who were driven over by them came.

The attack on Wanzhou by these 100,000 Hu people was just a feint, with the purpose of attracting all the main forces of the Wei army here, and then sending the main army to take Ganyang.

Now that Ganyang has succeeded, the 100,000 Hu people who are responsible for the feint will naturally withdraw their troops.

fell for the scheme, he really fell for the trick of the Hu people.

For a while, Xie Yuheng only felt ashamed and indignant, and he couldn't wait to kill all these hateful Hu people.

At this time, he had to admit in his heart that he still underestimated the Hu people opposite.

Although the Hu people have been invincible and invincible since the invasion of the inland areas in the southwest plateau.

But in the eyes of many Han people, the Hu people are still the image of being brutal and brutal, brave and unscrupulous.

Basically, the vast majority of Han people view the Hu people in this way, which has become a subtle consensus.

As a commander, although Xie Yuheng already has a different view of the Hu people in the south, his long-term inherent impression still makes him subconsciously regard the Hu people as a group of wild people with a little scheming.

Although tactically cautious, it lacks strategic attention.

Xie Yuheng and the others subconsciously thought that although the Hu people were powerful in battle, they only relied on their own strength and the world-famous continuous archery array, at most, they would only make some ambushes, sneak attacks and other small tricks.

Compared with the top talents of the Han people who have a long history and are good at various strategies, these tricks of the Hu people are just pediatrics.

This kind of excessive arrogance in culture and intelligence is very similar to the thoughts of the Ming Dynasty princes about the predecessors of the Qing Dynasty, the Jianzhou Jurchens, who habitually regarded these foreign peoples as inferior beings.

The same thoughts, the same contempt, led to Xie Yuheng, who thinks highly of himself, falling into this situation.

The other generals also knew in their hearts that the general Xie Yuheng had indeed fallen for Hu Rensheng's trick this time, but for the sake of the face of the new head of the Xie family and his own future, no one dared to show this kind of thought, and they all began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Although he was a little embarrassed on his face, Xie Yuheng was not an ordinary person after all, and he quickly regained his strength.

The matter has come to this point, and it doesn't make much sense to worry about how Ganyang lost.

The most important thing now is to return to Xinjing as soon as possible.

Ganyang is an important barrier to defend the southwest of Xinjing, and once this place is lost, the Hu people can march into Xinjing in a big way.

Although Xinjing itself is guarded by nearly 100,000 men composed of the forbidden army and five military battalions, it is still too reluctant to block the offensive of the Hu people with this mere 100,000 people, so it is necessary to return to defend Xinjing as soon as possible.

Xinjing is the base camp of the Xie family, how dare Xie Yuheng delay, hurriedly ordered all the men and horses to rush back, leaving only 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard Wanzhou.

………………

"Dutong, the Wei army has already set off."

After hearing the report from his subordinates, the commander of the Hu army, Akayi, nodded, and then ordered a hundred commanders beside him: "After you hide the cannon, follow the horseshoe prints to catch up." ”

"Yes, Totong." The captain of the hundred men took the command to go down.

After explaining this matter, Akayi immediately ordered the whole army to march slowly in the direction of the Wei army returning to Beijing.

After the army left, the commander of the hundred, who was left to be responsible for hiding the cannons, took more than 200 subordinate soldiers to pull the more than 30 cannons into the nearby woods in batches, and then found a relatively hidden place to bury them one by one, and kept them for later use.

In order to hide people's eyes, they even buried the trailer used to pull the cannon.

Due to the large size and number of cannons and trailers themselves, it took two days for the more than 200 Hu people to be buried.

After doing all this, the captain of the hundred men led his men to chase in the direction of the army. There are plenty of horseshoe prints along the way, so you don't have to worry about getting lost at all.

However, these Hu people don't know that before they know it, they have become the target of others.

When more than 200 Hu people appeared at a mountain pass, someone immediately hurriedly reported to the leader of a group of people who were ambushed here: "Lord Wan Helm, those more than 200 Hu people are coming. ”

Lord Wan Duo and Hall Master Chen looked at each other for a moment, and then Hall Master Chen took the lead in speaking: "My lord, since that batch of cannons is not in the Hu army, it should be hidden by these Hu people behind. ”

The Lord of Ten Thousand Helms stroked his beard and said, "I think so too. This batch of artillery is of great effect on our army, so we must get it anyway.

Inform the brothers in front of you that you are ready to do so. Remember to keep them alive and don't kill them all. ”

"Yes, sir."

After the order was passed down, many of the Freemasons who had been ambushed were very nervous, and many began to tremble unconsciously.

Feng Dazhu is one of them.

In the past six months, although he has followed others to do a lot of tasks, some of them are quite thrilling.

But compared to this time, those tasks seem to be only pediatric.

Because this time they were going to ambush and attack more than 200 Hu soldiers who killed people without blinking, and the danger can be imagined.

Although they had nearly 500 people in ambush here, more than twice as many as these Hu people, many of them were ordinary civilians from peasant backgrounds like him.

Even if they have received a period of knife and gun training, they don't even believe that they can win the Hu people by relying on a large number of people.

In case those traps are useless, then you really have to do it with Hu Ren.

Thinking of this, Feng Dazhu became more and more nervous.

As the Hu people got closer and closer, the hearts of many members of the club were raised.

Just after more than 200 Hu people entered the mountain road, the trap that Feng Dazhu and others had worked together to complete was finally launched.

Several logs cut from thick tree trunks rolled down the hillside at the command of the Lord of Ten Thousand Helms, and fell directly into the horse-riding Hu Man.

Due to the extremely fast speed at which the logs rolled down and the suddenness of the incident, many Hu people had no time to control the horses and leave when they found out, so they could only abandon the horses and flee.

For a time, the horses in the mountain road neighed, and at least half of the horses were smashed by the logs, and they were either injured or killed.

In addition, more than a dozen Hu people were also injured or killed because they did not have time to jump off their horses.

"Someone is sneaking up, hide!" The captain of the hundred, who was also forced to abandon his horse and flee, hid next to the horse's corpse and shouted loudly while taking cover.

The other Hu people hurriedly followed his example and took cover behind horses or logs, and then bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the attacking enemy.

But the arrows came faster than them, and they shot from the trees on the left and right.

Since the arrows were fired from both sides of the mountain road, no matter where the Hu people were hiding, they would become targets for archers.

In just two rounds of arrow rain, nearly half of the Hu people were wounded or killed.

The commander of the hundred knew that if he continued like this, the whole army would be wiped out, so he hurriedly threw down his bow and arrows, drew his scimitar, and said loudly: "Rush with me!" With that, he rushed out first.

The other Hu people who could still move immediately ran forward with him.

At that moment, however, a large group of people came out of the woods in front of them, and then blocked the middle of the road and waited for them.

When the hundred people looked at it, they saw that there were about a hundred of them, half of them armed with spears, and half of them with broadswords and wooden shields.

Although they were all dressed in cloth, judging from their calm and fierce momentum, they were obviously not ordinary civilians.

"Who are you?" The hundred-man chief asked loudly in stiff Chinese.

"Why, can't even your grandfather recognize you? In the Northwest, we have been fighting for so many years. The leading man said coldly.

When the hundred people heard this, their eyelids jumped, "You are Northwest soldiers?" ”

"That's right, it's Grandpa. Stop talking nonsense and let's go together. ”

Although I don't understand why these soldiers of the Northwest Army are here, the Hu people have been fighting with the Northwest Army for many years, and the two sides have long been mortal enemies.

"Kill these dogs for me!" The hundred-man leader did not hesitate, and immediately raised his scimitar and rushed over.

The remaining seventy or so Hu people also followed, swarming up with scimitars.

However, just as they were about to rush, another wave of arrows shot from both sides of the woods, hitting more than thirty people in an instant.

"Despicable Han dog! There's a kind of one-on-one heads-up with me. The hundred-man chief, who was shot in the thigh by an arrow, scolded angrily.

The man in the lead sneered, "Why do you need to talk about morality with you brutes?" Kill me, brothers! ”

"Kill!" The other soldiers shouted in unison, and then, as usual, the spearmen in front and the sword and shield soldiers in the back, rushed out in a surging motion......

When cleaning up the battlefield, Feng Dazhu, like everyone else, still had a sense of unreality as if he was in a dream.

Is this a win?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really couldn't believe that these two hundred well-trained Hu people had been defeated like this, and so easily.

Although their trap played some role in the beginning, it was the men who brought over from the Lord of Ten Thousand Helms who really decided the victory.

Those people not only had excellent archery skills, but also when they fought with the Hu people in close combat, their combat power was not inferior to the Hu people.

Coupled with the large number of people and tacit cooperation, it is completely a one-sided massacre.

Not only did no one die afterwards, but there were not even a few minor injuries, as if they had long been accustomed to fighting with the Hu people.

Who are they, and they are so powerful.

Feng Dazhu felt more and more that the Lord of Wan Duo and the others were unfathomable, and there seemed to be a big backstage behind them.

……………………

The battle, which took place in a remote area, was only a small episode, and not many people knew about it.

Nowadays, most people's attention is focused on Xinjing.

Because everyone knows that a Hanhu war related to the fortunes of the country is about to start here.
