Chapter 95 The Battle of Huoda and the First Battle of the First Battle Yu Guishan first passed the good news
When Huoda got the news from Liu Bei's scout, he immediately fell into ecstasy, for Liu Bei's overall number of troops, Dawan Kingdom, including Huoda is very clear, a total of less than 100,000 troops, except for the army that cannot be mobilized by the regular garrison in the county, Liu Bei's army can definitely not be mobilized in this expedition will definitely not exceed 80,000.
Originally, Huoda thought that Liu Bei was only attacking Dawan, so he sent a messenger to Chigu City to ask for help from his ally Wusun this time, but Huoda didn't expect Liu Bei to be so conceited and expedition to Wusun and Dawan at the same time. Wusun and Dawan are not small countries in the Western Regions, but large countries in the Western Regions that once depended on the Han Dynasty.
The Wusun Kingdom and the Dawan Kingdom together have more than one million people, and the Dawan Kingdom can mobilize 100,000 troops in the whole country; And because the Wusun Kingdom is a nomadic family, there are as many as 200,000 people who control the strings. With the alliance between the two, it is not a problem to resist Liu Bei, and Huo Da also thought that Liu Bei would attack the Great Wan Kingdom first. It's just that all of this is beyond Hoda's expectations.
And the whole thing is developing in a good direction, but Huo Da still has doubts in his heart, the Han people are known for being insidious and cunning, and scheming, so Huo Da still thinks that it is better to be careful, and at the same time boldly sends a large number of scouts to inspect the entire Liu Bei camp, and at the same time sends scouts into Shule County to investigate in detail.
Two days later, all the scouts' explorations showed that Liu Bei's border camp only had more than 10,000 troops, and the young men of various cities in Shule County had already assembled in Shule City, and it was estimated that there were almost 20,000 young people, and they would inevitably set off for Liu Bei's camp in two days.
When he got this information, Huo Da's suspicious heart finally relaxed, and he beat the drum to gather the generals, but he was ready to directly attack Liu Bei's camp.
At this time, Huoda's messenger had just arrived in Chigu City and met with the king of Wusun Kingdom, and because Chi Xingmi commanded an army of 100,000 to resist Jia Xu, Chigu City sent officials to Yanqi to communicate with Chi Xingmi. It takes at least 10 days to go back and forth. However, the envoy sent by Liu Bei to Dawan has not yet arrived in the capital of Dawan State.
However, at this time, Huoda couldn't wait at all, because for Huoda, this time was already the best time to attack Liu Bei, and once Khotan, Shule's young and strong entered Liu Bei's camp, such an opportunity would never exist again, and then either wait for Wusun to defeat Liu Bei, and then Dawan and Wusun divided the Western Regions, or Liu Bei defeated Wusun, and then Dawan surrendered to Liu Bei.
But no matter which of these two situations it is, Dawan will become a supporting role, but Dawan will have the helplessness of this Dawan country. Dawan Kingdom is located in the west of the Western Regions, directly west of the Han Dynasty, about 10,000 miles away from the Han Dynasty. The northwest of Dawan is Kangju, the west is Guishan, the north is the Northern Xiongnu, the southeast is Khotan, the northeast is Wusun, and the east is Shule. It can be said that it is a strong vision of the enemy.
What's more, there are many good horses in Dawan, sweat and blood, and its ancestors are the sons of Tianma. However, there are only hundreds of thousands of people and more than 70 cities in Dawan, but Dawan's army can't protect Dawan's sweat and blood BMW, and the sweat and blood BMW makes Dawan's strong enemy Dawan eye.
Therefore, Dawan urgently needs to expand the territory and the people, so as to protect Dawan from the invasion of strong enemies, so Huoda is ready to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send troops overnight to attack Liu Bei's camp.
When all the generals were summoned and had been seated in the big tent, Huo Da told Liu Beijun the entire situation, and announced the news that Liu Bei was defeated by Wusun, and all the generals were very excited, and they asked to quickly send troops to level Liu Bei's camp, and then occupy Khotan County and Shule County.
After that, Huoda ordered 10,000 troops to attack from the left and another 10,000 troops to attack from the right, and he himself led 30,000 troops as the middle army to attack Liu Bei's camp from the middle, and the three armies were in the shape of a "pin" and relied on each other. After that, he buried the pot to cook and ordered the soldiers to rest.
At night, at the right time, Huo Da raised an army of 50,000 and hurriedly attacked Liu Bei's army, but at this time, Liu Bei's camp was only in the defense camp of the Leopard Tao army led by Yan Yan and Tian Feng, but Yan Yan and Tian Feng, who were always observing the movements of the Dawan army, had already guessed that Huo Da would definitely attack the camp tonight.
He also sent a messenger to Liu Bei to rule Liu Bei, but Liu Bei had already led the pro-guard army and the Black Flag army at this time, only twenty miles away from the camp, and sent scouts to investigate, once Huoda began to attack, he quickly rushed to the aid of Yan Yan and Tian Feng.
The mighty Dawan army arrived at the Leopard Tao army camp all the way unimpeded, but the camp was well defended, and the Leopard Tao soldiers fought bravely, so the Dawan army was sniped strongly, but in the face of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could Huoda be willing to give up?
Huoda ordered the soldiers to attack, and at the same time constantly transferred troops, but he wanted to break through Liu Bei's army camp overnight, so as not to have many dreams at night, but what he didn't expect was that when the army of Dawan Kingdom had just arrived at the camp of the Leopard Tao army, Liu Bei had already arrived ten miles away.
After only attacking for a while, the Leopard Tao army and the Dawan army suffered very heavy casualties, at this time, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when the scouts reported to Huoda, the pro-guard army and the Black Flag army had already filled the left and right armies, and continued to kill the middle army.
At this time, Huoda understood Liu Bei's true intentions, but it was already too late, at this time, even if there were immortals, they would be powerless, and Huoda could only protect the army as much as possible, and at the same time pray that the left and right armies could withstand Liu Bei's army for a while, so that Huoda could evacuate as soon as possible.
It's just that everything is just a fantasy, Tian Feng and Yan Yan, who have a tacit understanding with Liu Bei, directly led the Leopard Tao Army to attack Huoda's main camp directly, and used all their resources to entangle Huoda's 30,000 troops.
Half an hour later, after the Leopard Tao army lost 5,000 elite soldiers, the pro-guard army and the Black Flag army successfully entered Huoda's main formation, and then there was no more, in the case of the powerful Han having no intentions, the Dawan army led by Huoda was defeated.
In this battle, Liu Bei captured 35,000 Wanguo troops, but Huoda was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun in the chaos. After that, the armies collected the prisoners and cleaned up the battlefield, but Liu Bei led a thousand women's troops directly into the camp of Dawan State.
It wasn't until the evening of the second day that it was cleaned up, and the statistics of the first battle came out, because the pro-guard army and the Black Flag army were sneak attacks, so the damage was small, and more than 1,000 cavalry casualties were worried, but the leopard Tao army suffered casualties recently, but it was mainly because of the early defense and the later initiative to go out of the camp to drag the casualties caused by the 30,000 army of Huoda.
However, the results of the battle were remarkable, killing Huoda's 15,000 troops and capturing less than 35,000 troops, and these captives were all imprisoned by Liu Bei in the Shule County camp, and Yan Liang was sent to lead the Leopard Tao army to guard these prisoners.
After that, Liu Bei led the Black Cavalry Army and the Guards Army to continue to march westward to attack the mainland of Dawan Kingdom, but this time he was no longer afraid, Huoda took the initiative to attack Shule, and now Liu Bei is leading his troops to counterattack.
It's just that when Liu Bei led the army to attack Dawan, the two outer guard battalions in the southern city directly bypassed Zhang Zhao to the palace to prepare to report to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was on an expedition, and in desperation, he handed over a bag of round stone-like things to Cai Yan, and instructed Cai Yan to keep them properly in a cool and dry place, because this is the potato that Liu Bei specially called Robert to look for.
At this time, in Wusun at the border with Yanqi County, Jia Xu's camp ushered in Chi Xingmi's 100,000 troops, although Liu Bei has emphasized that this time to visit Wusun, only Jia Xu needs to drag the Wusun army in the early stage, and then after Liu Bei solves the Dawan Kingdom, the two armies will attack the Wusun Kingdom.
However, Jia Xu didn't think so, Jia Xu's idea was to directly defeat the Wusun army under reasonable battle losses, and lay a military advantage for the later attack on Wusun. So when Jia Xu saw the 100,000 army led by Chi Xingmi, he kept thinking about it.
But under the absolute superiority of Wusun and the endless grassland, Jia Xu really had no results for the time being, but as soon as Chi Xingmi arrived at the border, he made an appointment to fight Jia Xu, and then Jia Xu agreed.
