Chapter 218: The trial was almost killed
"That's because the lord controlled the Huns' war horses. If there are war horses, their combat effectiveness will increase exponentially, and if we want to win, we will have to pay some price. Zhang Jaw said.
"General Zhang is right. The combat effectiveness of the Hun army should not be underestimated. Yuan Xi sat on the top seat: "Sit down." ”
"No..."
After everyone was seated.
Jiao Touch said excitedly: "Since the Xiongnu invaded the border, we have been defeated repeatedly, and we have been forced to withdraw from the Great Wall and defend Daijun. Unexpectedly, the Huns were careless, and they didn't even send out scouts, and the official roads within a radius of 100 miles were not under their control, so that our soldiers and horses arrived at the battlefield smoothly and were caught off guard. ”
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi thought in his heart that this was the main reason for the defeat of the Xiongnu.
Of course, they didn't know that the Xiongnu had sent scouts to reconnoiter and guard, but those scouts were all solved by Yuan Xi, and they almost didn't encounter enemies along the way. Messages are never leaked.
"Scorch."
"Yes."
Yuan Xi said: "Send someone to inform Tian Yu and Tian Chou immediately to recover the Great Wall." In addition, your troops also advanced to the Great Wall and were stationed for a period of time to prevent Yuan Shang's troops from counterattacking. ”
"No."
Jiao Touched.
"The lord is too worried, if Yuan Shang knew that the Huns were defeated, I am afraid that he would immediately prepare for war, how dare he pay attention to the Great Wall? Does he have the guts? Li Dian said with a smile.
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.
"Be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years. In case Yuan Shanggou jumps over the wall in a hurry, attacks the Great Wall, and then sends a large amount of fire oil and equipment to defend, then aren't we falling short? Yuan Xi said cautiously.
"The lord is far-sighted, and the end will admire." Jiao Touch arched his hand.
"Less sycophants."
"Uh..." Jiao touched the old face and blushed.
Both Zhang Jaw and Li Dian couldn't help laughing.
............
That night, the battlefield was cleaned up, and all the troops withdrew to Takayanagi Castle, Daigun.
Yuan Shang, who had planned to persuade Yuan Shang, who had come to Beihe Huchuquan, to judge the match, came out of Yanmen Pass, arrived outside the Great Wall, and found that the Great Wall did not even have a single Hun soldier, and he was very puzzled.
It stands to reason that the Xiongnu occupied the Great Wall and should have left some soldiers to guard it. But the Great Wall in front of me, not only did there be no soldiers, but there were no flags, and the silence was terrible.
The trial is very careful....
He hesitated outside the Great Wall for a long time before slowly entering the city.
Stand on the castle tower and look out at the sky. There are stars in the sky, the moon is white, and the earth is so bright that you can walk even without lighting torches. In such a night, tens of thousands of troops of Tian Yu and Tian Chou rushed to the Great Wall overnight.
The trial did not find out.
It wasn't until the army entered the range of a thousand meters and was about to reach the tower of the Great Wall that he faintly heard the sound of chariots and horses walking. My eyes widened, and I vaguely saw a figure flickering.
"What is this?"
The trial thought it was the return of the Xiongnu's soldiers and horses.
But he was cautious, he didn't dare to take this risk, in case it was Yuan Xi's troops, then wouldn't he become a prisoner?
The judge sneaked out of the city and went outside the city to observe.
It didn't take long...
Tens of thousands of troops led by Tian Yu and Tian Chou arrived at the tower of the Great Wall and camped on the spot. Bands of soldiers went up to the city and took over the city defenses. And planted the banners of Tian Yu and Tian Chou in the highest place.
"This is Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses?" After the trial went out of the city, he stood on a small hillside. When Tian Yu and Tian Chou's flags were displayed, he saw it at a glance.
Could it be that the Huns have been defeated?
Why was the Great Wall recovered by Tian Yu and Tian Chou?
Where did the tens of thousands of troops of the Xiongnu go?
Misappropriation of a belly of doubts...
"Let's go back to Yanmen Pass first." He stood on the hillside for a while, fearing that he would be seen by the soldiers guarding the city, and marched in the direction of Yanmen Pass. By the way, I was thinking all the way, what happened inside and outside the Great Wall?
Next.
Returning to the trial of Yanmen Pass, he finally received the news of the defeat of the Huns.
"50,000 Hun soldiers, all killed! Seventy-three thousand war horses all fell into Yuan Xi's hands? Hearing the soldiers' report, the judge couldn't sit still.
Yuan Xi's strength, he has seen it a long time ago. Even without these 73,000 war horses, it was not something that Yuan Shang could compete. On the border of Hebei, Yuan Xi's strength has long been the leader.
And now, with 73,000 good horses, how strong should Yuan Xi be?
The judge looked frightened and slumped in his seat.
"What's wrong with you, sir?" The guard of Yanmen will ask.
"No, not really..."
The judge said: "Send someone to tell Gao Gan not to go to the Great Wall again, and immediately bring the troops back to Yanmen Pass to garrison." Without the order of the lord, you must not engage Yuan Xi's troops without authorization. ”
"No."
The guards surrendered.
The heart of the judge is worried. Yuan Xi is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more troops. Gongsun Du, Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Xiongnu were successively defeated or eliminated. Now on the border of Hebei, only Yuan Shang is still insisting. Yuan Xi's next target must be to merge with the state.
If you want to block Yuan Xi's attack, it is really difficult.
The trial decided to return to Jinyang immediately, discuss with Yuan Shang, and come up with a plan. Don't follow in the footsteps of other races!
Vertical day.
Yuan Xi's troops were stationed in Gaoliu City.
Tian Yu and Tian Chou rushed to the meeting.
It is said to be a meeting, but it is actually a farewell. Because Yuan Xi was concerned about Yecheng's agriculture and commerce, he was in a hurry to go back. Before leaving, you need to arrange the defense of the border.
"I thought that this battle would take a long time. Unexpectedly, we had just arrived at the border, and we successfully defeated the Huns. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Huns were all slaughtered by us. and his seventy-three thousand horses shall be ours. In the future, the Jizhou Army and Youzhou Army will also have a large number of cavalry. Yuan Xi said happily in his heart.
"Congratulations, my lord..."
The crowd bowed their hands in unison.
Jiao sighed: "It's a pity that we don't have many troops in Youzhou, and we can't form more cavalry. These 73,000 horses can only be sent to Jizhou. ”
"You're right." Yuan Xi said: "Even if Youzhou has a source of troops, there is no need to form cavalry anymore." Because from now on, the only enemy that Youzhou will face is Yuan Shang. And Yuan Shang's strength is weak, and he is contained by the Jizhou army, so he hardly uses many troops. Your task is to assist Mr. Xun and Mr. Yuanlong in doing a good job in the business and agriculture of Youzhou. ”
"Yes."
Jiao Touch thought in his heart, as the governor of Youzhou, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield again in the future.
The name of the governor has also become a false position.
Zhang Jaw said happily: "Looking at the world, no prince has nearly 100,000 iron horses, right?" Even Ma Teng, Han Sui, etc. in Xiliang have to add up the total number of cavalry to be able to withstand us. ”
"With the 180,000 Montenegrin army and the more than 70,000 war horses of the Huns, the lord has become the most powerful prince in the world. It is only a matter of time to recover Hebei and Qingzhou and chase the Central Plains. Li Dian said.
