Chapter 17: Surprise Attack on Dragon City
The Han army left behind by the Weiqing Army to defend the nameless mountain broke through with only 400 people, and more than 3,000 people died in the grassland.
After an arduous march, Wei Qing also crossed the quagmire river and crossed Hulong Mountain, losing more than 300 people all the way without fighting, which shows the harshness and ruthlessness of the natural environment.
"General Wei, look." Luo Shan was the first to climb to the top of Hulong Mountain, and from a distance, another big mountain towered, the only difference was that there was a stone city on the top of the opposite mountain, and the stone town hung a lot of ribbons and flags.
And under the stone city, the endless Hun castle and the collection tent, the Huns riding war horses back and forth, from the architectural style and prosperity of the degree of view, this is the royal court of the Huns.
Outside the city, thousands of cattle and sheep are scattered all over the mountains, and the wranglers shuttle back and forth to chase them.
At this time, the stubborn donkey Huns suddenly knelt on the ground, and then bowed to the stone city, full of sincerity.
This action surprised the Han army present, this is Dragon City.
Crossing the mountains and rivers, crossing the enemy blockade, ten days, more than 10,000 people are left only more than 4,000 people now, and now the target is close at hand, the Han army brothers are excited, sharpening their knives and waiting for a big job.
"Kang Lianjun, Wu Lun." Wei Qing held back the excitement in his heart and began to order.
The two of them dismounted and arched their hands: "The last will be!" ”
Wei Qing pondered for a moment and said: "The two of you are the best in the period gate army, and they are also the most trusted people of this general, you don't have to attack Dragon City with this general, and give you a major task, which must be completed!" ”
Kang Lianjun and Wu Lun looked at each other and said firmly: "Please give the general's orders, the last general will never give up!" ”
Wei Qing turned to look at the large-scale Dragon City, and then took out the big seal of the sealed general of the chariot from his waist: "You immediately lead two hundred people, no matter what, you must bring this news to Your Majesty." After speaking, he handed the Great Seal to Wu Lun.
After the things behind him were done, Wei Qing seemed to have other things, removed a piece of white cloth on his body, bit his finger, and wrote another bloody letter, which he read for a long time before handing it to Wu Lun: "Let's go!" ”
"No!" The two of them replied.
After Kang and Wu left, Wei Qing ordered the army to take a short rest at Hulong Mountain, and then plotted a surprise attack on Dragon City.
After discussing with the stubborn donkey Huns and Wei Guang and Luo Shan, the sky was darker, and the Han army wearing Hun costumes walked ahead, under the cover of wild cattle and sheep all over the mountain, launched a surprise attack on Longcheng, and the army went straight to the largest building under the stone city mountain, this is the experience, the person who can live in a big house must not be an ordinary person.
……
The sky was still blue, just a little darker.
Thousands of cattle and sheep still graze on the desert grasslands and hillsides.
The cold sleet melts with the wind, making people feel a tingling in the face.
The clouds in the sky gathered and scattered.
On the hillside far south of Dragon City, a large group of men and horses were slowly approaching Dragon City.
Since there were endless cattle and sheep in front of them, and the outer layer of men and horses was dressed in Xiongnu costumes, most of the Huns thought that this was just a tribal army returning from grazing, after all, there were cases of noble tribes going out every day.
Wei Qing looked very determined, walking in the middle of the team on a high-headed war horse, the red tassels on his helmet floating in the wind.
The Huns did not feel the danger coming in the slightest, herding horses, washing clothes, mowing grass, feeding .......
Getting closer and closer, Wei Qing frowned and slowly pulled out the sword from the scabbard: "Take off ......"
Hearing the order, the Han army wearing Xiongnu costumes on the periphery took off the Xiongnu clothes on their bodies while marching, and the Hun soldiers instantly turned into hideous-looking Han soldiers, their eyes were firm.
suddenly
It was raining heavily, and this rain came just in time.
The rain dripped down Wei Qing's armor and dripped on the sharp sword.
The war horse slowly approached the dragon city on the mud, leaving deep mud pits on the horse's hooves.
The Huns in front probably did not pay attention to this group of men and horses mixed with cattle and sheep, and they only cared about hiding from the rain.
Wei Qing slowly raised his Han sword and roared loudly: "Attack!" ”
"Kill ......"
More than 4,000 people were like a herd of rushing bison towards Dragon City, they did not love to fight, and pointed directly at the palace.
When the Han army arrived, the Huns were suddenly at a loss and panicked for a while.
At this time, a feast was being held in the palace of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and the relatives of the military minister Shan Yu gathered at the court.
Of course, lucky.
Previously, King Zuo Xian and King Right Xian were attacked by Gongsun Ao and Li Guang, although these two Han armies were wiped out, but the military minister Shan Yu still fell ill after hearing about it, and was going to Wolf Juxu Mountain to pray.
The Han army entered from the south gate of the palace all the way and smashed the Yellow Dragon.
Because it was too sudden, although Long Cheng had many soldiers, he was still confused by such an unexpected situation.
The battlefield is ever-changing, and every minute and second can make the difference between victory and defeat.
In order to achieve a quick victory, Wei Qing swept the entire Shan Yuting with the tactics of bandit robbery.
captured alive more than 200 Xiongnu royal family members who were in the grand ceremony, including the queen mother and more than a dozen little kings.
When the Xiongnu rescue force arrived at Shan Yuting, what caught him was the ruined palace burning with internal fire.
The Han army is gone again.
The intention of raiding Dragon City was pursued under Wei Qing's perseverance, although the losses were heavy.
The Xiongnu were horse wranglers, whether they were royal courts or ordinary tribes, and most of their buildings were tents, and there were no strong fortifications, and they could not find a few decent city walls, which created conditions for the Han army to run through the north and south.
In the evening, the army left Longcheng very easily from the aristocratic tribal living area under the stone city, leaving the Xiongnu army of the second monk who was puzzled to capture the Han army in the city.
The surprise attack on Dragon City was a big victory, since it was a surprise attack, then the time was very short, just like a bandit robbery.
Coming when the enemy did not expect, leaving when the enemy is still confused.
All that was left for the enemy was the flames of the sky, a mess, and the battle flag of the word "Wei" planted in front of the palace of Shan Yuting.
……
More than a dozen people rode war horses and ran wildly, and more than a hundred Huns chased after them.
Kang Lianjun and Wu Lun, who were responsible for reporting the surprise attack on Longcheng to the imperial court, encountered the Xiongnu army halfway, and the two sides fought a big battle, Kang Lianjun and other personnel were killed, Wu Lun was seriously wounded, and only about 20 people remained.
He stubbornly guarded the Great Seal of the Che Cavalry General and Wei Qing's blood book.
In Wu Lun's view, this seems to have reached the final stage of the lone army, and it is inevitable that it will be destroyed.
"Drive!" Wu Lun didn't want to turn his eyes behind him at all, he just wanted to get rid of this group of Huns and complete the task.
And more than 20 people behind him were still being shot by the bows and arrows of the Huns, and one after another fell off their horses.
ultimately
Due to the outnumbered enemy, Wu Lun was still hunted by the Huns.
Seeing that Wu Lun, whose face was covered with blood, was holding the Han sword in his hand, the Huns led by him immediately ordered him to be captured alive.
