So far, most of the 50,000 Xiongnu and Qiang soldiers and horses in the area of Nanyang Mountain have been defeated, and only two small groups of soldiers and horses remain, less than 10,000 people, who are guarded by a few captains according to the mountain pass.
Zhang Liao did not attack the Xiongnu and Qiang soldiers and horses on these two roads, but ordered Dian Wei to lead his troops to the south overnight and attack the men and horses on the south road of Nanting with Zhang He.
On the way, Zhang Liao had already ordered people to investigate in advance, Dian Wei took 6,000 soldiers and horses to sneak at night, and arrived in the mountains and forests ten miles away after the Xiongnu South Road army, they did not act immediately, but rested for half the night.
When it was almost dawn, Zhang He, who was defending in the south, suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Xiongnu and the Qiang people's southern route army, the Xiongnu and the Qiang people suffered a big loss under their defense, and when the battle was fierce, Dian Wei led the troops to kill from the rear, and the Xiongnu southern route army was in chaos.
Dian Wei and Zhang He flanked back and forth, and fought fiercely for most of the day, until the afternoon, when more than 10,000 Xiongnu and Qiang soldiers and horses on the South Road were killed, and the rest were captured.
Subsequently, Dian Wei and Zhang He joined forces and connected the two counties of Yuanyang and Yuanyin to the north, and took down all the central areas of Xihe County controlled by the pious people.
The pious people participated in the Xiongnu rebellion, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses sent were killed, defeated, and captured, and even the heroic commander was also killed.
After that, Dian Wei and Zhang He did not continue to advance, but quickly swept away the remnants of the Xiongnu and Qiang armies in the area under their control, and swept away this area with lightning speed.
Cui Jun, the Taishou of Xihe, quickly took the county magistrate and county magistrate appointed by Zhang Liao to control the county government and pacify the people.
In the Luliang Mountains and Nanyang Mountains, Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile after learning the news of Dian Wei and Zhang He's victory, this battle was fought very hard, and the backlash of the Xiongnu nobles was unprecedentedly fierce, but fortunately, the south road has been basically pacified, and now the remaining 40,000 cavalry on the north road and the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses on the east road.
This is still a hard bone, from the news from Gao Shun and Zhao Yun, the battle was extremely fierce, the soldiers died a lot, although there are mountain passes in the north, but there are more large grasslands, the Huns' cavalry shooting should not be underestimated.
What's more, there is also Nanting, as long as Nanting is there, the resistance of the Huns will not stop, and the Xiongnu tribes in other parts of the state will not be stable.
It's just that if Zhang Liao destroys Nanting with his own hands, it will also arouse the hatred of the Hu people, which is quite unfavorable to stabilizing the state and appeasing the Hu people in the future.
But Guo Jia has already made a plan.
At the time of the fierce battle in Hexi County, on the west bank of the Yellow River, a Qianghu soldier came from Shangjun and Zhizhi Fushi County, wandering in the county.
This sudden Qiang soldier claimed to be the first zero Qiang, and he rushed to attack the state at the invitation of the Xiongnu Nanting, and the Shen Di Qiang people in Fushi County did not suspect it, nor did they have much defense.
First, because although the tribe is different from them, the clan is the same, and secondly, most of the soldiers and horses of their tribe also went to Xihe County to assist in the battle at the invitation of the Xiongnu Nanting, so naturally they will not have too many doubts about this Xian Zero Qiang who was also invited by the Xiongnu.
In the middle of the night, another army of no more than 3,000 soldiers and horses crossed the Yellow River from the east and entered the territory of Shangjun, which was a Xiongnu army and horses.
This Xiongnu army of soldiers and horses secretly entered the camp of the first zero Qiang and joined it.
In the big tent, the leader is Xu Rong, the general of Zhonglang under Zhang Liao, and this Qiang who entered Shangjun is the disguise of the Qiang Hu soldiers under him.
The next ones were the captains Yang Han, Han Ke and Mu Han, who were the commanders of the Huns, and the Huns they brought were captured by Zhang Liao in Yanmen before, and some were recruited from the Hu tribes such as Shangdang.
"Xu Zhonglang." Yang Han, Han Ke, and Mu Han hugged their fists and said: "The lord has an order, and after I come to Shangjun, I will listen to Xu Zhonglang's orders." ”
Xu Rong nodded, and said: "I have learned of the lord's plan, and the city has arranged an internal response, tonight, I will join forces to break through the city, and now the Han people are all driven out of the city, and the city is full of Qiang people, after entering the city, it is not tolerable, kill the Qiang people, burn their nests, and plunder their cattle and sheep, remember!" It is necessary to order the Xiongnu soldiers to brazenly show Yang, so that the Qiang people know that it is the Xiongnu who attack their lair, which is the purpose of our war. ”
"Whoa!" Yang Han and the three of them were ordered.
That night, there was a sudden commotion at the east gate of the silent Fushi City, and then the city gate was opened, and thousands of Hun soldiers screamed and attacked the city, setting fire everywhere.
The city gathered are all Shen Di Qiang people, they woke up from their sleep, before they had time to resist, they were attacked, Shen Di Qiang people's mansion was the first to be breached, Hao Shuai went to Xihe County to respond to the Xiongnu rebellion, not in the house, there was no resistance in the house, except for the women and children, the people who resisted in the house were killed by the shouting Huns.
There are thousands of Qiang soldiers in the city, all of them were attacked and killed, until dawn, the city is in ruins, and the Hun soldiers can be seen everywhere coming and going wildly, looting tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and leaving in a dignified manner.
However, outside the city, this Xiongnu army was attacked by the first zero kind of people who came to the county seat yesterday, abandoned the cattle and sheep, scattered and fled, and ran to other counties and townships to plunder the Qiang people.
The remnants of the Qiang people in Fushi City were grateful for the rescue of the first zero Qiang people, but the first zero Qiang people told them that the Xiongnu were ready to retreat to the outside of the Saiwai and needed to plunder a large number of cattle and sheep.
When the Shen Di Qiang people heard this, they were all furious, and immediately sent people to Xihe to report the heroic commander who fought against the Xiongnu.
The first zero Qiang people clamored to take revenge on the Xiongnu and attack Nanting.
Under the continued ravages of the Hun soldiers, for a time, there were many Shen Di Qiang Qingzhuang who hated the Huns, and were willing to follow the first zero Qiang to attack the Xiongnu Nanting.
So Xu Rong crossed the Yellow River with the "first zero Qiang" and Shen Di Qiang, and entered Pingding County in the north of Xihe County, along the way, when they met the Huns, they claimed to be invited by the Huns to assist in the battle, at this time the Huns army was fighting outside, and the Huns tribes had not yet taken precautions against the Qiang, and they were marching quite smoothly.
In the past two days, the Southern Xiongnu royal court learned of the defeat of the Southern Route Army, and saw that the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou were approaching the north of Xihe County, and hurriedly transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from various tribes, and joined the "Xian Ling Qiang" who rushed to help, and blocked the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou in the south of Pingding County.
However, the Xiongnu did not take a breath, and the Shen Di Qiang people, who were assisting the Xiongnu in the battle in Wuyuan and Yunzhong, suddenly rebelled and attacked the Xiongnu camp.
Zhao Yun and Gao Shun took the opportunity to attack, and the soldiers and horses on the northern route of the Southern Xiongnu fell into chaos.
