Chapter 213: Gao Gan Returns to Jinyang

this day.

Yuan Xi's army arrived at Gaoliucheng in Daijun and joined Tian Yu, Tian Chou and Jiao Touch.

When the army arrived.

The behemoths could not enter the city, and they were stationed outside the city.

The Titan Python, which was more than ten meters long, walked around inside and outside the city tower, which was not only inspiring, but also gave confidence to the soldiers guarding the city. After that, he settled in the newly built camp outside the city.

Yuan Xi rode into the city on four non-phases.

Zhang Jaw, Li Dian, and Wen Chou together.

"Lord, you're here..." Tian Yu, Tian Chou and Jiao Touch stood outside the city guard mansion.

"How's the war going?" Entering the main hall of the City Guard Mansion, Yuan Xi sat down and asked straight to the point.

"I beg your lord to forgive your sins, the last general... Lost the Great Wall. Now all our troops have gathered in Daijun, ready to prevent the Xiongnu from entering. Tian Yu looked guilty.

"Are the Huns really that strong?" Yuan Xi was very displeased, looked at Tian Yu and said, "I still remember that when you were stationed in Daijun, you never took a step back, why did you take the initiative to retreat this time?" Do you know how important the Great Wall is to us? ”

Tian Chou on the side said, "Lord Lord." More than half of the 50,000 troops under our command were new recruits. Many of them were not yet fifteen years old, and there were even thirteen-year-old soldiers. How could these dolls be the opponents of the Huns? Let them go to the battlefield, isn't it sent to death? Therefore, the last general discussed with General Tian Yu to withdraw from the Great Wall first and then make plans. ”

Zhang Jaw said: "The military age of the soldiers in Youzhou is too young, right?" Can you join the army at thirteen? ”

"Every year we fight, we have suffered countless casualties. Being able to recruit 50,000 troops is already the limit of the counties in Youzhou. How can you take care of your age? Tian Chou replied with a sentence of open jaw and said to Yuan Xi: "The last general and others are also helpless, they can't watch those dolls die on the battlefield in vain." ”

"Well, I won't say that beforehand."

Yuan Xi took the map and hung it behind him: "You first talk about the battle situation and the combat strength of the Hun army." And how did the Great Wall fall over? ”

Tian Yu replied: "Originally, the Huns were not good at attacking fortifications, but with the strength of our Youzhou army, they could still resist it. But I didn't expect that the Xiongnu had a large number of siege equipment, as well as fire oil canisters and trebuchets. Our troops have not yet formed combat effectiveness, and it is already a miracle that they can hold back for several months. If we do not take the initiative to withdraw, I am afraid that there is a danger of annihilation of the whole army. ”

"There were about 70,000 Huns, all of them light horses, armed with war swords, bows and arrows, and leather armor, and their riding skills and archery skills were miraculous. It is by no means comparable to our army. In the past few months of fighting, we have suffered a lot of losses. ”

"Until the fifteenth day ago, four siege towers arrived at the Great Wall. The right virtuous king of the Southern Xiongnu went to Bei and the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu Hu Chuquan, and personally led a large army to attack the city. Relying on the height of the siege tower, the city was breached. The last general led his army to withdraw.... ”

.............

After Tian Yu finished speaking, Yuan Xi already understood the general situation of the matter.

The Great Wall was lost, and it is really no wonder that Tian Yu and Tian Chou, who will defend it, the result is the same.

"It must be Yuan Shang's ghost!" Li Dian said indignantly.

"Who else but him?" Zhang Jaw was also a little annoyed: "I didn't expect him to dare to go against us." Also dare to unite with the Xiongnu and start a war with us. When he was in Jizhou, he should have been caught. ”

"It's not too late." Yuan Xi pointed to the merger on the map: "If it is two years, if it is one year, Yuan Shang will be defeated!" Before that, we will first deal with the Xiongnu and recover the Great Wall. ”

"General Tian Yu."

"Yes."

Yuan Xi retracted his gaze and asked, "Do the troops under your command still have combat effectiveness?" ”

Tian Yu replied: "If you fight a tough battle, of course you can't. The last will hear..... The lord here has King Kong giant ape, Titan python, Tyrannosaurus rex and so on. With their help, there is no problem in defeating the Huns first, and then our army will pursue and kill. ”

To put it bluntly, the troops under the command of Tian Yu and Tian Chou can only fight a good battle.

Youzhou Governor Jiao Touch snorted: "Even if there are no troops under General Tian's command, with the 20,000 Youzhou light cavalry I brought, I will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions." Despite the Lord's orders, we will immediately start a war with the Huns! ”

The 20,000 light cavalry under Jiao Touch's command were all formed by the war horses captured during the attack on Xianbei two years ago. After more than two years of training and operations, it already has super combat effectiveness.

What's more, it is a strengthened war horse, and its speed and endurance are by no means weaker than those of the Huns.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly: "Okay, the next battle will all depend on your 20,000 light cavalry, pioneer battalion, and wolf cavalry." I believe in victory! ”

"You have given orders to go down, and in three days you will leave camp and march to the Great Wall. I'm going to regain lost ground in one fell swoop! Yuan Xi said.

"No..."

The generals present all replied in unison.

..................

In a few days, Gao Gan led a team of light horsemen and returned to Taiyuan.

Jinyang City.

Yuan Shang already knew about Yuan Xi's trip to Youzhou, and was discussing countermeasures with Shen Pei, Chun Yuqiong, etc. Because Yuan Xi went to Youzhou, he also brought the vanguard battalion and the wolf cavalry, obviously to start a war with the Xiongnu.

This is an opportunity ....

Should he make good use of it, contact the princes, and start a war with Yuan Xi. And after the start of the war, how likely is it to win?

Gao Gan came into the house: "Lord..." ”

"General Gao, please be seated." Yuan Shang said: "The Xiongnu occupied the Great Wall, and opened the passage to Youzhou. It was originally a good thing, but Yuan Xi went to Youzhou and was bound to start a war with the Xiongnu. General Gao thought, what should we do now? ”

"That's what the last general is here for." Gao Gan frowned and said, "Yuan Xi's strength is very strong, and he has dispatched all the giant beasts, and non-fire oil and large instruments can't resist it. If there is a war with the Xiongnu, then the Hun iron cavalry will be defeated. The last general thought that it was not appropriate to fight with Yuan Xi and that peace should be made. ”

"The minister also thinks... It should be peaceful. The judge said.

"Peace? Is this possible? Yuan Shang smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect Mr. to be so naΓ―ve?" Yuan Xi went all the way to Youzhou, making it clear that he wanted to occupy the Great Wall, and if he didn't have the Great Wall, he would not retreat, and it was useless to give any benefits. ”

"Then give him the Great Wall!" The judge gritted his teeth and said: "Everything should be based on the overall situation, so that the Huns can preserve their strength." ”

"I'm afraid this won't work, right?" Gao Gan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, I won't agree to go to Beihe Huchuquan." They finally captured the Great Wall, just to be able to enter Youzhou. To let them give up the Great Wall now would be to cut their flesh. Don't hide it from the lord and the military advisor, before coming back, the right virtuous king of the Southern Xiongnu went to humble, and wanted to use his own strength to start a war with Yuan Xi, do you think he will compromise and give in? ”

"General Gao." Yuan Shang called.

"Yes."

Yuan Shang said slowly: "I will send someone to negotiate with the Xiongnu." You rush back to the Great Wall now, and try to persuade the Huns to avoid their edge first, and then fight Yuan Xi when we have enough oil. If it really doesn't work, you will lead your army to retreat to Yanmen Pass, and remember not to engage Yuan Xi head-on. You must know that with tens of thousands of Xiongnu people, it is impossible to win. Fight against Yuan Xi and die. ”
