Chapter 164: Bridging and Ambush

"If our army can quickly cross the river in the east of Fenshui without being discovered by the Qian, can it be completely annihilated?" Liu Xie saw that the two of them were confused, so he said: "What I mean is that if they can quietly cross the river, go around to the rear of the enemy army, and cut off their way back here in Yong'an, can they still go back?" ”

Liu Xie pointed to the map and nodded heavily.

Yong'an is close to Taiyuan County in the northern part of Beihedong.

It happened to be at the bayonet of the Fenhe Plain and the mountains, and it was difficult for the Qiang people to fly if they blocked it.

It's just that Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty is impossible, no matter how Your Majesty crosses the river, just to encircle one, the location can not be selected in Yong'an, undoubtedly it is a last good place to besiege, but the Huns have been active in the north for a long time, they must know that there is a strong relationship, and Hu Chuquan intends to tempt, and will Chen Bing in the Yong'an area, in order to go south." ”

Therefore, according to Jia Xu's meaning, it is impossible to completely annihilate the Qiang tribe, but it can be severely damaged.

It was Liu Xie's pursuit of perfection, and when he wanted to understand the crux of the problem, Liu Xie asked Jia Xu and the others to plan an offensive and containment plan.

The plan is simple, once the reinforcements from Hedong are reinforced, the Qian people will flee.

Then two interceptions and bites can be set up, the first is ambushed by Zhang Xiu's cavalry and the foot soldiers of Jiangyi City near Baibo Valley, and the second is ambushed by Zhao Yunren's cavalry in Pingyang.

After the two ambushes, he couldn't finish eating the Qi tribe, and he had to make his vitality hurt greatly, and his heart was painful to death.

After discussing the plan, Liu Xie took the cavalry to the north of Xiangling, and there were already cavalry of the Qian nationality on the other side of the Xiangling to monitor the other side of the river, guarding in a place where it was easy to build a pontoon bridge.

And Liu Xie has a bridge charm, so naturally he will not choose here, but chooses a hidden place at night where the terrain is dangerous and he can't build a bridge at all.

"Ding! The host uses the bridging character, the current geography is feasible, and the bridging is successful! ”

With a wave of Liu Xie's hand, he saw a long bridge built on the wide river.

If it weren't for the military order, all the armies would have shouted miracles and shouted long live might.

Soon the army crossed the river, the team was divided into two, Zhao Yunbu rushed to Pingyang, and Liu Xiebu squatted near Baibo Valley.

Following!

The Linfen Han army continued to increase, and it was not the opponent of Xu Huang and Zhang Liao alone, the Han army was not weak, and Hedong was not empty.

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao began to pursue out of the city, and Xu Huang pursued for a long time and began to slowly advance north.

Zhang Liao rhythmically maintained the cavalry pursuit distance, not giving the Qian people a chance to bite back.

Seeing that there was really no chance to take advantage of, the new troops of the Qiang nationality did not hesitate, boldly retreated north, and roared away.

When passing through the Baibo Valley, I saw that the Han army of the Baibo Valley people did not obstruct it, and it was even more arrogant and bold, and there was no guard.

However, when the Baibo Valley had just rushed out of a flat land and emerged from the mountain pack, the Han army appeared on the wings.

"Kill!"

Earth-shattering shouts of killing came from both wings, and the banners of the Han army were one by one.

"Bad to have enemies?" Most of the Qiang tribe suddenly panicked, and they were ambushed.

"Afraid of what? It's just a group of cowardly Han people, the Han people are all worms, kill me, there are not many of them. ”

A Xiongnu who was in charge of controlling the Qiang people shouted, and the Qiang people stabilized and met the rushing Han army.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The Han troops lined up, and the crossbowmen immediately fired.

The soldiers of the Qiang tribe who rushed in were shot and killed countless times in an instant.

The bow and crossbow of the Han army were the nemesis of the Hun cavalry, and the same was true for dealing with the Qian.

Originally, in order to retreat northward, the formation of the Qiang tribe was not maintained well, and now they were shot and killed by the Han archers for a while, and the vanguard was even more confused.

"Rush! Break them for me! Zhang Xiu led the cavalry to rush towards the Qiang tribe, and as soon as they fought, the Qiang tribe was broken into an already unformed formation and rushed in.

Any warrior of the Qiang tribe who wanted to have two moves with Zhang Xiu was also picked off the horse in one or two moves, and Zhang Xiu was like entering a no-man's land and killing all directions.

Xiang Lin, Lu Meng and others were unwilling to be weak and followed Zhang Xiu's cavalry to cover and kill, and no one was his opponent.

When the leader of the Huns saw this, he was also frightened, and hurriedly ordered to continue to retreat north without delay.

"Don't entangle with the Han army, withdraw for me." There are also Han cavalry chasing after him, and the longer the delay here, the more disadvantageous it is.

The entire Qian people knew this, and since the Hun masters had spoken, they had no intention of resisting, and shouted a few times to retreat north.

However, some were stopped by the Han army's foot soldiers, and then entangled by Zhang Xiu, and eventually they were all killed or captured.

As soon as the battle ended, the pursuing Zhang Liao also arrived, and Liu Xie said: "Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu obey the order and continue to chase me north until Yong'an." ”

The two replied with a promise, and continued to chase with the cavalry.

Liu Xie led the infantry to clean up the battlefield, and soon Xu Huang led the team, and the two armies merged into one force to escort the prisoners back to Jiangyi.

I didn't pay attention to it when I was fighting, but when I escorted the prisoners, Liu Xie discovered that there was an essential difference between the Qians and the Xiongnu.

They look like white people, a bit like Sogdians, blue eyes, non-black variegated hair, high nose bridge, and as Wang Yi said, the Qiang people are not a people, but slaves captured by the Xiongnu, with complex origins, and all kinds of appearances.

There are also a lot of voices to speak, even if it is only two or three hundred people, but there are as many as thirty or forty accents, which can be seen.

"Your Majesty, do you want to kill them all!" Lu Meng asked, his face was full of murderous aura, after this battle, he can be regarded as a person who has really fought against foreign races, Liu Xie fulfilled his promise, and did not come to Hedong in vain.

Liu Xie thought for a while and waved his hand and said, "No! Our coal mines and iron mines are in great need of this kind of young and strong labor, and many of them come from the countries of the Western Regions, so I also need to pick some out and keep them useful. ”

Most of the Qian people were brought by the Xiongnu from the Western Regions, and now that the Western Regions are interrupted, sooner or later they will be restarted, Liu Xie wants to take precautions, maybe he can select some special ethnic tribes from these captives, learn their language, and then whether it is marching or fighting, business and trade will definitely be used.

Liu Xie's heart is very big, and he naturally has a long-term vision, and some things can be done now, and there are just conditions.

Not to mention Liu Xie's side, when the Qian people retreated to Pingyang in a panic, they were relieved and ready to stop and take a small rest, but at this time, another Han cavalry rushed out and launched an attack on them.

"Kill!" Zhao Yun rushed in with his newly trained cavalry, this was the first time they had received a baptism of blood, although they were still very immature.

But this time they were ambushing, and they were ambushing the Qi clan who had no intention of fighting, and soon the two legions rushed together, and with Zhao Yun's excellent martial arts, they rushed ahead, and quickly defeated the people who blocked him.

A person was killed in front of him, and his momentum rose with his subordinates, and he followed behind and slashed and slashed without forgetting life and death.
