Chapter 175 Burning the Zuogu Liwang Department

"Lord, the Huns seem to have retreated north!"

As Xu Ding guessed, Cao Cao was certainly not stupid enough to really attack Zhongyang City, just pulling the tiger skin, and then bluffing, making a fight to fight.

Therefore, the people he sent naturally also discovered that the Xiongnu were ambushed around Zhongyang City.

Hearing the spies' report, Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems that Bo Kang made a move, and the Donglai cavalry must have attacked Lishi and Gao Wolf City, and succeeded, otherwise the Huns would not have retreated north for no reason." ”

Cao Hong said: "Big brother, in this case, are we going north, occupy Zhongyang City first, keep up with the pace of Bokang, so that the Huns do not dare to retreat north." ”

Cao Cao didn't speak yet, at this time the strategist Cheng Shu said: "The lord is not proper, whether the Huns' retreat north is related to the Marquis of Weiyuan has not really been ascertained, so I rushed north, in case this is a false image of the Huns, it will not be good to lead our army in and then ambush." ”

Cao Cao thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense.

He was originally a suspicious person, and naturally he was also suspicious of the real purpose of the Huns' retreat north.

After thinking about it and looking at the anticipating generals, Cao Cao said: "Wei An is not unreasonable, let's wait for a day or two, and after exploring the north, I believe Bokang will not mind." ”

Be steady, Cao Cao also chose this proper plan.

He can pull the banner with his tiger skin, but once he really fights with the Huns, he will soon be punctured, so that the Huns can really see through the strategy.

Gao Wolf City!

"Bastard!"

Looking at the devastated city, which was piled up into the heads of the Jingguan, the collective scalp of the Liwang Department of Zuogu was numb.

Who is it?

Who exactly?

Who dared to slaughter their Huns.

These damned Han slaves, despicable sneak attackers, actually ran to our rear to make trouble while their Zuogu Liwang was dealing with the Donglai soldiers in Zhongyang.

"Wang, those sneak attacking cavalry have gone to Yuanyang City."

A Hun came over to report.

When King Zuogu Li heard this, his gloomy face became hideous, and with a look of slaughter, he raised his horsewhip and said: "Chase me, you must break them into pieces." ”

One of the bone-by-bones under the king of Zuogu Li said: "King, what about those Han Nu two-legged sheep who escaped? ”

It turned out that after the Zuogu Liwang army captured the southern part of Xihe County, they captured a large number of Han people who could not escape.

These Han people all became captives of the Huns, as many as tens of thousands, and the losers helped the Huns herd sheep and farm, provided services for the Huns, and lived a life that was inferior to that of animals.

Xu Ding and others captured this area, not only killed all the Huns who stayed behind, but also let all the tens of thousands of Han people go, and let them flee to Taiyuan County by mountain road as much as possible.

"Leave these alone, wipe out the Han cavalry, what we have is the time and energy to keep plundering the Han people." A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of King Zuogu Li, you must know that the Han is unstable now, the Central Plains is in frequent wars, and the Han has no strength to deal with them.

The opportunity for the rise of the Huns has come again.

Next, King Zuogu Li chased towards Yuanyang City with more than 12,000 soldiers and horses.

They chased very fast, but they were still a step late, and when they arrived at Yuanyang City, Yuanyang City was also broken by Xu Ding and others, the city gate was wide open, and the word "kill" was written on the city wall.

Outside the city, there is a Beijing view, drenched in blood.

"Chase!"

There was almost no inspection, and King Zuogu Li gritted his teeth and ordered to continue the pursuit.

The army passed through the city, and there was no sound in the city, just like a ghost town, and countless sundries were thrown on the streets, and there were even a lot of horse dung, horse urine and animal offal, and a burst of stench, pungent.

The Huns wanted to get through as quickly as possible and avoid these stinking things, but the fallen wooden poles and large stones rolled from nowhere made the already small street even narrower.

Even if the Huns were good at riding, they did not dare to take advantage of the power indiscriminately, and the unscrupulous people rushed into it.

I had to slow down and pass gradually.

When more than 2,000 people in the front of the army left the north gate, and there were still 6,000 people in the rear who did not enter the south gate, suddenly an arrow appeared in the sky.

A sharp whistle rushed into the sky above the city, and at this time, countless Han troops rushed out from both sides of the street and on the north tower.

"Woo Woo Woo ......"

Arrows flew towards the unsuspecting Hun knights.

"Puff puff ......!"

The arrows were mixed with rockets, which hit the wooden poles or flammable bamboos, and suddenly burst into flames, and the water stains on the ground that looked like blood or horse urine burned in pieces.

Originally, tung oil or animal oil was sprinkled on both sides of the realm, and these oils were covered by animal entrails and feces, and it was difficult to find them for a while without careful inspection.

The fire burned in all directions, one in a row, and soon the entire city was strung together, and under the raging fire, where did the Hun cavalry in the city still have the heart to fight back against the Han army in ambush.

I just want to get out of town as quickly as possible.

It's just that the back is blocked, and the front is full of Han troops with short swords, and when they rush out with smoke and fire, they are greeted by countless arrows.

Although the 2,000 Huns who had just left the north city gate did not have to enjoy the blazing fire, they were dealt with by the cavalry of Xu Ding and others.

After a battle, the Huns, who were already inferior in numbers and unstable in their military morale, were finally all killed.

Looking at Yuanyang City, which was still on fire, Xu Ding put away his gun and said:

"Let's go!"

This fire is difficult to extinguish without burning for a day and a night, and with this time, the Donglai cavalry can open a long distance from the chasing Huns, and can do a lot of things.

Also looking at the blazing flames that engulfed the entire city, King Zuogu and his men were in the opposite mood.

I didn't expect the Han people to wait for them here and fight their ambush, which was really a miscalculation.

"Tell my king, in this ambush, the left and right bones of our department, the left and right captains, and the right big household were killed, and more than 5,000 soldiers and horses were lost." The person who reported it trembled a little when he spoke.

In this way, they suffered heavy losses, more than half of the officers, and a quarter of the entire tribe's soldiers and horses.

As a result, he didn't even touch the shadow of the Han army.

wanted revenge, but the other party fled, and if you want to chase it, you can only wait for the fire in the city to be extinguished naturally.

Zuo Gu Liwang's face was extremely terrifying, his fists were clenched, and all the green tendons burst out.

The next day, the fire was extinguished, and after waiting for a day, the Huns continued to chase north.

When they cautiously arrived at Yuanyin City, sure enough, this place was also captured by the Han army.

It is also a small Jingguan, and all the plundered Han slaves ran away, leaving an empty city.

The city is surrounded by abundant water and grass suitable for grazing, and there is also a Jingguan, where cattle and horses are all gone.

The Han army did it more thoroughly than them, killing them all, robbing them all, and not giving them a chance.

"My king, where are we going?"

One of his subordinates asked.

Yuanyin and Yuanyang are the central part of Xihe County, and you can go to the north of Xihe County to the north, where the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Wang Court is located.

To the west is Qiuzi in Beijun, where is the sphere of influence of the Xiongnu Youxian Wang.

They didn't know where Han Qi was going to make trouble.

After thinking about it, in the end, King Zuo Guli still pointed to the north and said: "Let's go to the north, the royal court is important, and we can't let this Han army ruin our clan's plan." ”

Now the Xiongnu army is concentrated in Wuyuan County, and the royal court is very empty.

King Zuogu didn't dare to imagine the scene of Han cavalry killing Meiji.

Meiji was lost, and it is estimated that the strategy of the entire Southern Xiongnu tribe will shrink, move to Shuofang, and withdraw from Beijun, Xihe County, and Wuyuan County and Dingxiang County.
