Chapter 469: Mo Nan Becomes Famous

(Revert to the update.) )

Monan grassland.

Three days ago, Yi Zhixian led an army of 200,000 people, with a strong attitude, bypassing Gaoque Pass and approaching the border line of Wuyuan County. In the face of the strong attack of the Xiongnu army against all odds, Le Yi's guerrilla tactics failed, and he was forced to fight with the Xiongnu army in the area of the border line of Wuyuan County. Due to the disparity in troops, 50,000 or 60,000 fought against 200,000, and on the day of the battle, Le Yi's department, that is, the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Han Dynasty, lost the battle and suffered heavy losses, and was forced to retreat 100 miles, defend according to the danger, and camp in Beitang, Xiaoguan.

On the second day of the retreat of the Han Eastern Expeditionary Army to Beitang, Yizhi divided 50,000 troops to attack Gaoque Pass.

Gaoque Pass, which was garrisoned by only 3,000 troops, was in danger. Thousands of miles of fertile fields in the south of the Gaoque Pass, the situation is critical.

And the hussars who supported Yingchuan, it can almost be said that the hussars who decided the battle of Yingchuan in one fell swoop, are still on the way back.

If Yizhi is allowed to occupy Gaoque Pass, crisscross Henan, and attack the main force of the Xiongnu army outside Wuyuan County on both sides, it is conceivable what kind of situation the Han Eastern Expeditionary Army will encounter.

Fortunately, Yi Zhixian's action did not hide from the scouts of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Le Yi, learned the news in time.

On this day, a freshly dressed and angry cavalry of the Han army appeared on the vast desert grassland, galloping like flying in the blue sky and white clouds among the thousands of miles of green grass. This is a cavalry force of less than 10,000 people, divided into three long dragons, one on the left, one on the right and one in the middle, everyone has two horses, no baggage, and even grain and grass are not carried. Each sergeant carried only dry food and water that could be eaten for three days.

This cavalry, coming from Wuyuan County, headed for Gaoque Pass.

For three days and three nights, except for a little time to rest, this cavalry of nearly 10,000 people has been in motion. On the third day, the cavalry finally arrived more than 20 miles outside Gaoque Pass.

At this point, the army stopped. The scouts who were one step ahead came back to report the situation at Gaoque Pass.

"Report! General Huo, the Xiongnu army is attacking the city with all its might, and a large number of Xiongnu scouts are arranged in various passages, and the subordinates cannot get in touch with the defenders in Gaoque Pass, but the subordinates look at it, Gaoque Pass can not support it for long! ”

The general of the Han army, known as General Huo, was none other than Huo Quai, who was the chief general of this Han cavalry. A few days ago, after Huo Qubing returned from Chahadi, he was ordered by Liu Che to serve in the Eastern Expeditionary Army. This time, the task of rushing to aid Gaoque Pass was arduous, Huo Qubing took the initiative to ask for help, Le Yi knew that he was brave, so he ordered him to lead nearly 10,000 cavalry to Gaoque Pass, and be sure to hold Gaoque Pass until the hussars who rushed to the aid of Yingchuan, and the left general Qin Cheng rushed to Monan.

"It won't last long, but how long can it last?" Huo Quai, who was on horseback, asked calmly.

"One day at most!" The scout said after a moment's thought.

Huo Quzhi saw that the scout's words were a little uncertain, frowned slightly, and then ordered: "Wait here!" Then he said to the scout: "Lead the way, Ben will personally go to the gate to see!" ”

"No!"

Three or five war horses, galloping for more than 20 miles, only in an instant, leaning down on a grassy hill, Huo Quzhi saw Gao Que Pass, which was fighting at the moment.

Of the 50,000 Huns, less than 20,000 remained on horseback, and the rest dismounted and attacked the city on foot. Gaoque Pass is Xiongguan, it is not easy to capture, although the Han army defenders are only three thousand, but the preparation for defending the city is extremely sufficient, the Huns are not good at attacking the city and pulling out the village, and this battle, Yi Zhixian's order is to capture Gaoque as soon as possible, so this battle was extremely tragic from the beginning.

The 50,000 Xiongnu army had been attacking Gaoque for a whole day, and the unfatal assault had already caused them to suffer more than 5,000 damages, and at this moment, the battle had reached a white-hot stage.

"With this posture, Gaoque Pass can hold on for half a day at most." Huo Qubing on the grassy knoll came to a conclusion after carefully observing the situation on the battlefield.

"General Huo, did you order the army to charge into battle to relieve the siege of Gaoque Pass?" The general asked anxiously.

"It's not time yet." Huo Quzhi shook his head, staring at the battlefield with deep eyes.

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

At the head of the city, the defenders are fighting bloodily.

Gongsun He, the general who defended the city, led three thousand soldiers to defend the city, and had been fighting for a day, until now, the inside and outside of the city wall of Gaoque Pass have long been blurred with flesh and blood, there is not an inch of place that has not been infected by blood, and the remains of the severed limbs are all over the ground, and they can't distinguish between the enemy and me, so that people can't get off their feet, and the living people are not sticky, and there are very few soldiers who are not injured. Up to now, only half of the 3,000 defenders of the city have left, although relying on the fortifications on the city wall, Gongsun He has led the soldiers to kill many enemies, but his own strength has also reached the point of dying.

Gongsun He wrapped gauze around his left arm, restrained the bleeding from the wound, got up and waved his knife and rushed to the Hun soldiers who attacked the city. However, Gongsun He knew that he couldn't remove the city wall, if so, if he didn't say anything else, Le Yi would correct him in the future. He believed that Le Yi had done it - none of the generals brought out by Qin Cheng were not decisive in killing.

Finally repelled another attack by the Huns, Gongsun He thought he could take a breath, and as soon as he sat down, he heard his lieutenant running over and shouting to himself: "General, the Huns are all dispatched!" ”

"All out?" Gongsun He wiped the blood and sweat from his face, stood up, and hurriedly looked down from the city wall.

Outside the city wall, the remaining more than 40,000 Hun soldiers, except for less than three or five thousand cavalry, all the others dismounted and rushed to the city wall.

Gaoque Pass could not be attacked for a long time, and the Hun general finally lost his patience, and decided to give it a go.

More than 1,000 soldiers of the Han army on the Gaoque Pass were suddenly solemn.

Even the most ordinary soldiers knew what kind of result would be in the face of the Huns' all-out siege at this time.

Gongsun He slowly glanced around at the soldiers around him, and infinite sorrow and unwillingness rose in his heart.

These more than 1,000 soldiers have reached the point where their combat effectiveness is about to be exhausted. Gongsun He knew that the next hand-to-hand battle would be the last battle for all the soldiers.

"You are the most elite foot soldiers of the Great Han!" Gongsun He opened his mouth to say something, but there was only this sentence when the words came out of his mouth, and his throat moved, not knowing what to say next.

All the soldiers focused their eyes on Gongsun He, and no one spoke.

Outside the city, the horn of the Xiongnu army attacking the city sounded.

"Defend the city!" Gongsun He ordered in a calm voice.

Then the soldiers dispersed. From beginning to end, there was no shouting, no doubts, everyone knew their fate, everyone knew that there was no choice.

Defend the city.

The two armies came into contact, and the offensive of the Huns was unprecedentedly fierce. A full 40,000 people, one after another, poured up to the city.

The rain of arrows covered the sky and the screams.

Up to now, defending the city is something that can not be done, Gongsun He has been fighting at the forefront, leading his soldiers to run back and forth on the city wall, and beheading the Huns who attacked the city head one by one.

I don't know how many people I killed, and I don't know how long the battle lasted, Gongsun He only felt that his hands were becoming more and more numb, his vision was becoming more and more blurred, and there were fewer and fewer people around him, but the Huns on the city wall could not be killed. In the end, Gongsun He just relied on an instinct to support, swinging his knife to slash and dodge.

"General, I can't hold it!" Gongsun He's pro-army team was shouting, grabbing Gongsun He, "General, withdraw!" ”

"Get out of here!" Gongsun He kicked his own personal soldiers away and scolded: "I'd rather die on the battlefield than be executed on the execution ground!" ”

"General, be careful!" At the moment when Gongsun He turned around and scolded the pro-soldier team, several Hun sergeants rushed forward, and slashed at Gongsun He with a knife, Gongsun He couldn't turn around, and he was about to die under the knife.

The knife penetrated into Team Zheng's body from different angles, and blood suddenly gushed out from Team Zheng's wounds, mouth and nose. The team was letting out a shout of the last of their lives, holding those long knives in their left hands, and with a wave of their right hand, the ring head knife cut blood flowers on the chests of those Hun soldiers.

In the end, the team fell to the ground along with the Hun sergeants.

"Ahh Gongsun He's eyes were cracked, and he rushed forward with a knife and slashed the group of Hun soldiers in front of him one by one.

At this moment, a chaotic sound of horns sounded outside the city. The reason why I say chaotic is because the sound of the horn is clearly not coming from one place.

Gongsun He couldn't help but look outside the city, only to see that in the golden afterglow of the sunset, countless cavalrymen in red robes and black armor, wielding long knives, rushed down from a grassy hill.

These cavalrymen rushed into the rear of the Huns and slaughtered people like sheep.

It was Huo Qu's disease.

Huo Qubing seized the opportunity for the Huns to abandon their horses and attack the city on foot, and led the army to kill with lightning speed. The three or five thousand Hun cavalry is no longer an obstacle, and the Hun infantry behind the three or five thousand Hun cavalry can only be fish and meat on the chopping board of Huo Quai.

Gongsun He's heart was shocked.

"Kill!" Huo Qu's killing intent was high.

At this station, Huo Quai's cavalry of less than 10,000 people attacked for three days, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the Han army guarding the city at Gaoque Pass defeated the 50,000 Xiongnu army and won countless victories.

It was a service, and the world was shocked. Huo Quzhi became famous from this.

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

Just when Huo Qubing went to Gaoque Pass to support Gongsun He, Yi Zhixian led an army of 150,000 to launch a full-scale attack on the Han Eastern Expeditionary Army led by Le Yi, who was guarding Beitang.

The reason why Yi Zhixian dared to forcibly attack the dangerous Beitang was to get definite information that the Han army in Beitang was less than 50,000, and the hussar army was not in Wuyuan.

In the battle, Yizhi leaned his best to break through the defense line of the Han army in Wuyuan in one fell swoop, and drove straight into the Central Plains from then on, and Chen soldiers were under the city of Chang'an.

On the day of the war, Yi Zhixian personally supervised the formation, and Le Yi, the commander of the Han Eastern Expeditionary Army, started a melee in Beitang.
