On the second day of October, in the northern part of Yuanyin County, Xihe County, the wind swept and the leaves fell. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhang Liao led Dian Wei and Zhang He with a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed here, and confronted the Xiongnu soldiers and horses stationed in the south of Pingding County. The Southern Xiongnu had lost the central part of Xihe County, and it was defended by the Inner Great Wall in the south of Pingding County, which was not easy to attack for a while.
It was nearly dusk, the autumn wind was slightly cold, and the banner was waving, Zhang Liao stood on a high ground holding a telescope made of bamboo tubes to observe the distribution of the Xiongnu soldiers on the inner Great Wall.
Although the losses in the two-day battle were not light, they advanced steadily, and the morale of the soldiers was very high.
At this time, Guo Jia came in a hurry and said happily: "Lord, Xu Zhonglang has news. ”
Zhang Liao took the secret letter, opened it and looked at it, handed it to Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "Xu Rong is now in Pingding County, and the plan of discord is going very smoothly, it is estimated that the Shen Di Qiang rebellion in Yunzhong and Wuyuan is only in half a day, and it is time for Xu Rong to act tonight to add fire to the rebellion of the Qiang people." ”
Guo Jia touched his chin and said, "This fire is burned, and Nanting can be determined." ”
Zhang Liao stretched out his hand, felt the wind, and muttered, "It's a good day when the night is dark and the wind is high." ”
He turned around and looked at Guo Jia: "Send a message to Xu Rong, act tonight, and then send an order to the army, eat early, rest at the right time, get up at the right time, and prepare for a big battle!" ”
"Whoa!" Guo Jia took the order and left.
……
At night, in Pingding County, located in the Qiang camp on the west side of the Southern Xiongnu camp, a group of Qiang soldiers had already rested, and the Qiang people came to aid the Xiongnu this time, they camped alone and rested early, and the Huns were inconvenient to interfere.
At this time, a soldier hurriedly came to the middle tent, took out a waist card, and whispered: "Keep the Turks, Keding and the state." ”
The guard in front of the tent checked the waist card, hugged his fists, and let him in.
In the big tent, Xu Rong, the commander dressed as a Qiang person, took the secret letter, read it through the candle flame, burned it carefully, watched the secret letter turn into paper ashes, and then turned his head to look at the messenger soldier, and a smile appeared on his slightly stiff face: "Hard work, the messenger lord, Xu Rong has received the order to act in a secret plan tonight." ”
"Whoa!"
After the messenger left, Xu Rong immediately called his personal guards: "Order the fire chief to prepare the meal immediately, and order the battalions to eat, and pull out the camp when it is ugly, and attack the south court!" ”
"Whoa!" The guards were ordered to go out of the account.
Listening to the actions of the guards outside, Xu Rong carefully checked the topographic map again, determined the route again, breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but stand up, wandering in the big tent, thinking about every step and every link.
In this battle, he has a great responsibility, although Zhang Liao didn't say anything, but he knew that there must be no room for error.
When it was ugly, it was when people were sleeping, six thousand Qiang Hu soldiers quietly left the camp, their war horses were wrapped in hooves, and they sneaked all the way to the north while the night was dark, and the Hun soldiers two miles away did not even notice that it was already an empty camp here.
After traveling six or seven miles, Xu Rong immediately ordered the whole army to mount their horses, and six thousand horsemen galloped north.
The route had already been explored, and more than an hour later, six thousand Qiang Hu soldiers entered the border of Meiji County, where Nanting was located.
This rebellion, Nanting is desperate, almost all the soldiers and horses have been transferred, and even the young and strong people of various tribes have also been transferred in large numbers, at this time the soldiers and horses are all on the borders of Xihe County hundreds of miles away, and the troops in Nanting are empty, and only Wang Ting has thousands of soldiers to guard.
After Xu Rong led the cavalry into Meiji County, he went straight to the Xiongnu royal court without stopping.
……
In the tent of the court of the Southern Xiongnu king, the right valley Li King, the left and right Wenyu Wang, the left and right day chase king, the left and right gradual general king, the left and right day chase, the left and right Fuqu and other Xiongnu nobles are all there, but the right Xian King and the right day are not there.
Under the bull candle, everyone's faces were not good-looking, and the elderly King of the Right Valley sighed: "You waited for the army, but you could not defeat and merge with the state herd, but lost half of the West River, and lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and now the Qiang people who are fighting in the clouds have also rebelled, hey...... What should I do? ”
The right big danghu Wu Luolan hummed: "The Qiang people are not reliable, I have secretly contacted Xianbei, and promised to divide and merge the state, as long as we hold on, wait for the Xianbei soldiers and horses to go south, and the state will be defeated!" ”
The right general who originally proposed to contact the Qiang people had an ugly face: "Why did Shen Yiqiang in the clouds rebel? Most of them have reasons, but it is imperative to send someone to Pingding County to inform the Qiang people of the rebellion of the left and right Guduhou Qiang, they also have Qiang people there, and they must prevent changes. ”
"Not bad." Right King Wen Yu nodded again and again: "I'll send someone there." ”
At this time, the right day said again: "Why don't I pretend to make peace with the pastor of the state, delay the time, and wait for the Xianbei people to go south." ”
"Okay, that's a good plan." The crowd agreed.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
Zuo gradually showed a dissatisfied look on the king, and immediately called his personal guards: "Go and see what happened?" ”
I didn't want the guards to leave yet, but someone outside hurriedly rushed in and said loudly: "Oh no, no, the Qiang people have been killed, the Qiang people have been killed!" ”
"Qiang?" The faces of the people in the tent changed dramatically.
"Damn Qiang!" King Zuo Wenyu pulled out his scimitar: "I will kill them all!" ”
Zuo Rizhu's expression was solemn: "How many Qiang people are there?" ”
The guard hurriedly said: "In the dark, I don't know how many, they set fire everywhere, it should be more than 10,000 ......"
"Ten thousand!" Everyone couldn't help but be shocked: "Where did so many Qiang people come from?" ”
"Ahem! Quickly leave the tooth tent and go to the tribe ......" King Liwang of the Right Valley gasped: "Shan Yuting can't be destroyed by our hands." ”
Before he finished speaking, there was a fierce fighting outside, and everyone looked around and couldn't help but turn pale.
……
In Meiji County, there are fires everywhere.
Xu Rong galloped on his horse, looking at his cavalry with a cold face pouring out fire oil and throwing torches, Zhang Liao's military discipline is strict, but here, they don't need military discipline.
In the blink of an eye, the tooth tent was in sight, and Xu Rong immediately ordered: "Kill the past, surround the tooth tent, and release rockets!" ”
"Ulla!" A group of Qianghu cavalry screamed, and rockets shot at the tooth tent one by one.
Before the hundreds of Huns guarding the tooth tent could rush over, they were killed in front of the tooth tent.
The fire was blazing, and there were exclamations from the tooth tents, and many Huns rushed out in flames, looking at the Hun leaders and nobles dressed in costumes.
The smile on the corner of Xu Rong's mouth became even colder, and he waved his hand: "This battle will not be surrendered, and it will not matter if you kill it!" After dawn, Ben was going to see Nanting turn to ashes! ”
"Whew!" The Qianghu soldiers were even more frenzied, surrounding this piece of tooth tent and desperately releasing rockets.
The Xiongnu nobles who rushed out of the tooth tent, including the left and right kings of Wenyu and the kings of the left and right, the kings of the left and right days, the kings of the left and right days, and the left and right frustrations, all of the leaders who were noble in the Xiongnu were shot and killed, and they were swallowed by the sea of fire in a blink of an eye.
The Xiongnu Nanting army was empty, there were not many soldiers and horses, and now most of them were still asleep, there was no resistance at all, their soldiers and horses were distributed in all directions to defend, and they did not expect that there would be a Qianghu soldier rushing in, causing such terrible consequences.
The tent of the Southern Xiongnu was blazing in the fire, and under Xu Rong's order, the Qianghu soldiers burned the fire to the entire Meiji County.
Nearly half of Meiji County is covered by domes, and the fire spread rapidly under the strong winds.
An hour later, the entire Meiji County fell into disaster, Xu Rong withdrew his soldiers and horses from the city, and the fire burned to the Xiongnu dome outside the city.
It was the darkest hour before dawn, but the blazing fire lit up half of the sky, and the smoke was billowing on all sides, and everywhere there was the laughter of the Qiang Hu soldiers, and everywhere the cries of the Huns.
In the chaos, the Qianghu soldiers ignored the women and children, but whenever they encountered the richly dressed Hun nobles, they were all shot and killed!
Xu Rong watched the Xiongnu's southern court turn into ashes in the firelight, he didn't know how many Xiongnu leaders he shot in the tooth tent, but he knew that after today, the Xiongnu southern court would cease to exist, and the lord Zhang Liao would never give them another chance to rebuild the royal court in Bingzhou.
More importantly, this fire was set by the Qiang people, and it has nothing to do with the Han people, and it has nothing to do with the state pastoral, it was the Xiongnu rebellion, which led the wolf into the house and reaped the consequences.
