Chapter 1289: Hu Chuquan took the initiative to take the bait
In winter, the wind blows bitterly in the north, and the dripping water turns into ice.
In a place like Northland County, it is even colder, and the wind blows on the face like a knife, and it hurts. Such a cold weather is also a big test for the Shu army. On the one hand, the soldiers of the Shu army need countless winter clothes and food, and on the other hand, the soldiers of the Shu army have to adapt to such weather, so they have a certain impact on the army.
The army set out from Fuping County and headed straight for Niyang County.
The 100,000-strong army was slaughtered, which can be said to be magnificent, quite spectacular.
Halfway through, Gan Ning suddenly thought of a question in his mind and asked, "Mr. Li, we are rushing to Niyang County now, will Hu Chuquan lead the army to kill us and attack us?" ”
Li Ru shook his head and said, "Hu Chuquan has already divided his troops, he won't come." ”
Gan Ning pondered for a while, and then stopped talking.
The army continued to advance, away from Fuping County, and gradually approached Niyang County.
……
Hu Chuquan led his troops into Beidi County, and did not slaughter the people, but only robbed food and women. When they captured Niyang County, they only took away the food hoarded in Niyang County, and robbed some women by the way, and did not slaughter the people unscrupulously. In this way, although the people of Beidi County hated the Huns, they did not resist desperately.
Outside the county seat of Niyang County, the Chinese army has a big tent.
Hu Chuquan sat in the big tent, looked at the scouts below, and asked, "How far is the Shu army from Niyang County?" ”
Obviously, Hu Chuquan knew the news of the Shu army's killing.
The scout replied loudly: "Back to Da Danyu, the Shu army is still one hundred and twenty miles away from Niyang County. It is roughly estimated that in a day and a half, the Shu army will be able to reach Niyang County. ”
After hearing this, Hu Chuquan waved his hand and let the scout leave.
Turning his gaze, Hu Chuquan looked at a middle-aged scribe in the big tent.
This person has prominent cheekbones, a collapsed nose, small eyes, two mustaches on his lips, three mustaches under his chin, a thin and short figure, and wears the clothes of the Central Plains, not a Huns.
This person's name is Fang Ming, and he is the military advisor of Hu Chuquan.
Hu Chuquan looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Ming, you offered a plan to let Liu Bao and Qubei attack Feng Yi County and Fufeng County respectively, intending to let the Shu army divide its troops and weaken the strength of the Shu army. But the Shu army was unmoved, and came straight to Niyang County, and your plan failed. Now there are only more than 30,000 elite cavalry in the army, and it is difficult to defeat the Han army, what do you think? ”
Fang Ming said: "Da Dan Yu, King Zuo Xian and King Zuo Xian each lead 10,000 elite horsemen, coming and going like the wind, you can either attack or return at any time." Beidi County is not far from Feng Yi and Fufeng, and if King Zuo Xian and King Right Xian travel day and night, they can rush back to Niyang County within two days. At that time, wouldn't it be better if the three-way army converged and could also contain the Shu army. ”
"Haha......"
Hu Chuquan laughed and said, "Well said, the Han people are really cunning!" ”
After a pause, Hu Chuquan ordered: "You go and send a message to Qubei and Liu Bao, and ask them to immediately lead the army back to Niyang County." This time the Shu army was flanked, only victory, not defeat, and the Shu army was bound to be defeated. ”
Fang Ming said: "Big order is wise!" ”
After finishing speaking, Fang Ming got up and left the big tent to carry out Hu Chuquan's order.
……
A day later, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning led a large army to approach the county seat of Niyang County, only twenty miles away from the Xiongnu camp. The army was temporarily encamped, and Li Ru, Pang Tong, Zhang Liao, and Huang Xu discussed in the big tent. Prior to this, Gan Ning and Tai Shici each led an army of 20,000 elite soldiers to leave the army and go on a mission.
Zhang Liao looked at Li Ru and asked, "Mr. Li, the stakes are very high, are you ready?" ”
Li Ru said: "General rest assured, everything is ready. ”
Huang Xu shrugged his shoulders and said with a lack of interest: "It's really boring to stay in the camp, if only I could fight with Gandudu, or with General Taishi." ”
Zhang Liao and Huang Xu stayed, just to drag Hu Chuquan.
……
Hun camp, in the big tent.
Fang Ming hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army, and said excitedly: "Da Danyu, the opportunity has come." The Shu army actually divided its troops to intercept the Zuo Xian King and the Right Xian King in the middle of the road, wanting to break our army individually. The strength of the Shu army weakened. We have close to 40,000 elite horsemen, and we already have a chance to defeat the Shu army. When the time comes, and then flank the rest of the Shu army separately, you will be able to determine the outcome of this battle. ”
Hu Chuquan stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, march immediately." ”
At this time, Hu Chuquan was high-spirited and quite excited.
Hu Chuquan didn't get the news of Xianbei and Wuhuan, if he knew that Xianbei was destroyed, and Wuhuan would not survive, I am afraid that he would not continue to fight. It's a pity that Hu Chuquan is full of thoughts about winning in front of Xianbei and Wuhuan, and playing the majesty of the Huns. He walked out of the camp with high morale, ordered 40,000 cavalry, and went straight to the Shu army camp.
Ten thousand horses came out together, and the sound of horses' hooves crushed the ice slag on the ground, carrying the broken ice slag, and constantly rushing forward.
Hu Chuquan led the army to hurry and soon approached the Shu army camp.
When there is only a weak road from the Shu army camp, you can already look at the Shu army camp.
"The warriors of the Huns, the Shu army is in front, follow me to kill it."
Hu Chuquan's heart was like fire, and he was extremely excited, constantly urging the war horse to rush forward. The Huns were the same, they all rode horses and charged, they raised the steel knives in their hands, grinned loudly, and showed a hideous smile. In the eyes of the Huns, the Shu army was their lamb and their prey, and as long as they rushed over, they could achieve victory.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a Hun cavalryman running at the forefront screamed, and the war horse under his crotch fell headlong.
If you look closely, a large pit lies across the wide official road.
The pit is one zhang wide and one zhang deep, and there are sharpened branches in the pit. The mouth of the pit was covered with long sticks, covered with a little weeds, and mixed with a little dirt, so that unless you looked closely, you would not be able to find it. Obviously, this is the Shu army avoiding the scouts of the Hun cavalry and deliberately digging it out to deal with the Hun cavalry.
"Poof! Poof! ”
The war horse fell, and was immediately poked out of a few flesh holes by the branches in the pit.
After the Hun cavalry fell, they were also stabbed to death.
The screams rang out one after another, and countless large pits were soon exposed on the official road in this place. The Huns, who were still charging, rushed forward and immediately fell inside. Even if some Hun cavalry found that the situation was wrong, the inertia of the war horse charge was too great, and they couldn't stop for a while, so they could only continue to rush forward, and finally fell into the big pit and were poked to death by sharp branches.
"Stop!!"
Hu Chuquan didn't encounter a trap, and quickly stopped the army, his eyes scanning the surrounding situation.
In the eye, there was chaos around him, and there were screams one after another in front of him.
"Come on, go to the front and check and see how many traps there are."
Hu Chuquan shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers beside him to inquire about the situation. He looked at the soldiers who turned over and dismounted and walked forward cautiously, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, as if the Shu army had been prepared.
If you want to raid the Shu army, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
After a while, the soldier who had inquired about the news returned.
The soldier stood in front of Hu Chuquan and said loudly: "Da Danyu, the place where the big pit was dug in the ground is only ten zhang away. As long as we go around the sides of the road, we can continue our journey in no time. ”
Hu Chuquan nodded and ordered: "Get on the horse, bypass the big pit, and move forward on both sides of the road." ”
The army would not stop for a few dead and wounded soldiers, and continued on its way. Hu Chuquan turned the horse's head, quickly came to the right side of the road, and rode the horse forward slowly. I didn't take a few steps when I found writing on a large rock next to the road. Hu Chuquan didn't know Chinese characters, so he immediately found a literate person and translated the characters on the big stone.
After Hu Chuquan heard this, his heart was even more strange.
"There's a trap ahead?"
Hu Chuquan pondered the meaning of this sentence, suddenly laughed, and said: "The Han people are very cunning, first digging holes in the middle of the road to block the advance of our army, forcing us to hurry on both sides of the road. Now he writes a sentence on the boulder next to the road to intimidate me, so it is not worth mentioning. ”
Hu Chuquan raised the horsewhip in his hand and shouted: "Speed up and rush to the Shu army camp." ”
"Boom!!"
The horse continued to gallop forward, faster and faster. After running for about twenty zhang, and having crossed the place where the big pit was dug, Hu Chuquan's army began to run on the official road.
"Xi Yuyu!!"
Suddenly, the neighing of war horses came from the wide official road.
Countless standing horses raised their heads and screamed, roaring madly, scurrying, and the hooves of the horses trembled, and it was very painful. Seeing this, Hu Chuquan felt even more uneasy in his heart.
This time, I'm afraid I've been hit again.
