Chapter 70 Xu Huang attacked

As soon as he retreated, Jia Xu immediately asked people to shout and wave the flag, the entire Weizhuang cheered and roared, and Jia Xu asked people to pass the order to Li Yan.

"General Lee! Lord Jia has an order to pursue the Xiongnu Youxian King until the territory of Jiangyi, but do not chase it too quickly, do not rash the enemy, and keep a relative distance from our rear army......"

"No!" Li Yan received the military order, and then said to the soldiers: "Chase, follow me to pursue the Huns, remember to collect the war horses......"

"Yes!"

Li Yan was in front, Jia Xu led people behind, and the 5,000-strong army pursued the humble troops who had no intention of fighting all the way back to Jiangyi.

On the city of Jiangyi, Xu Huang went to the head of the city to check the enemy's situation, looked at it for a while, and thoughtfully, and quickly asked people to find Wang Yi.

Wang Yi came to the head of the city and asked, "Does Captain Xu have any hostile situation and go to Beibei to increase the siege of the city?" ”

As soon as he went to the city, Wang Yi asked, Xu Huang shook his head, and then pointed to the direction of the Huns camping outside the city and said: "Taishou, please see, the Huns' camp is too quiet, although many people are wandering outside the camp, but it doesn't look like patrolling my Anyi City, but it looks like guarding its main camp." ”

Wang Yi looked at it for a moment and nodded: "Oh! It's really a bit similar, what, does Captain Xu feel that there is something wrong with going to humility. ”

Xu Huang continued: "I guess that when the main force left, it should be that Liu Bao and His Majesty are facing each other at the pass, and want to make a detour in the direction of Yicheng, attack Wenxi from Weizhuang, insert behind His Majesty, and sneak attack the empty Wenxi and Anyi." ”

"Oh!" Wang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said suspiciously: "Is the captain guessing, or is it ......?"

Xu Huang pointed to the Huns' camp and explained: "I asked the soldiers guarding the city, the number of cooking smoke rising from the Hun camp today is a big disaster, according to the Huns' establishment, the maximum number of troops left outside the city is less than three layers, and its main force should have left last night while it was dark." ”

At this time, Wang Yi was not suspicious, and asked, "So the captain wants to go out of the city." ”

"If the main force of Beibei leaves, it must be an attack on Wenxi, Weizhuang has Jia Shangshu in ambush, and if you can't sneak attack, you will be defeated and retreat.

I want to take the opportunity to cut off the threat outside the city, and will destroy the Xiongnu army, and use this time to make a lot of progress whether it is to attack Liu Bao in the south, or to go east to block the defeat and retreat.

No matter which side of it is severely damaged and destroyed, the other side will inevitably have a floating army, and if it does not dare to fight, it will definitely flee north. ”

Wang Yi was a little moved, according to Xu Huang's meaning, this is to bring the whole point to the surface, activate the rhythm of the whole, once successful, it is a great achievement, or even the first achievement.

But he still had a little scruples, and said his worries: "But we don't have His Majesty's order, and we don't know the situation in the direction of the pass and Weizhuang, so rashly attacking and exposing our strength will not ruin Your Majesty's strategy."

In case the outside of the city is a false impression deliberately made by Qubei, leading us to send troops, and then taking the opportunity to seize the city, Jiangyi cannot afford to lose. ”

Wang Yi's concerns are not wrong, some old ministers are seeking the country, but the opportunity is ahead, and missing it may affect the battle situation, and they have been passive.

Xu Huang did not hesitate, and decisively took the responsibility and said: "How about this, Huang leads the troops out of the city, Wang Taishou is in charge of the city, once there is a change, it is easy for me to withdraw, and it does not lead to the defense of the city, if there are sudden consequences, everything will be borne by Huang." ”

Seeing that Xu Huang still insisted, Wang Yi was not easy to refute, so he could only agree, so he opened the city gate, and Xu Huang led 2,000 cavalry and infantry from his headquarters out of the city to attack the Xiongnu camp.

Xu Huang's guess was quickly confirmed, the Hun camp was really empty, and the people left behind were not enough in both layers, where was Xu Huang's opponent, and soon the camp was breached, and the Huns left the army defeated and fled east.

Seeing that Xu Huang had succeeded, Wang Yi was overjoyed, and when Xu Huang led his troops back to the city, escorted the booty and prisoners in, he asked: "I really let Gongming guess correctly, Gongming has made a great contribution this time, what happens next, now we will send troops south to the pass and flank Liu Bao with Your Majesty." ”

Attacking Liu Bao in the south can solve the commission of the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, and it is the choice of loyalty from above.

Confirming his guess, Xu Huang was more confident, but shook his head: "No!" The Huns are all cavalry, we have to do two things first, one is to melt the ice, and the other is to remove the threat of going to Bei, first work with Jia Dacong to annihilate the Bei tribe, or shoot it away, so that we can go south. ”

"Ice?" Wang Yi puzzled, the Huns are all cavalry, there are horses, and now the Fen River and the Hushui are frozen, so every winter, the Hun cavalry can go south unscrupulously, the cities have to hold on to resist, if the river does not freeze, the south of the Fen River is safe, and the Huns do not dare to go south easily, otherwise once the Han army counterattacks, they can not cross the river in time to be destroyed on the south bank of the river.

Therefore, the ice melting that Xu Huang said is a bit fantastical, and this season does not exist.

However, Xu Huang took out a yellow talisman from his arms and said: "With this thing, Taishou doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty said that this thing is called the Ice Talisman, its ice-breaking distance can reach thousands of miles, and the ice will not be broken for three days, as long as the enemy is trapped within three days, we can ride around and kill it on foot." ”

Wang Yi couldn't negotiate: "Really? ”

"Naturally! This is a gift from the Son of Heaven, and it cannot be faked. Xu Huang nodded, his expression solemn and firm.

How can the miracle of the Son of Heaven be doubted, the east wind can be borrowed, and there is nothing that can not be turned into ice.

Xu Huang followed Liu Xie all the way from Hongnong to Hedong, and he had seen the miracle of the general president, and he had long been a little blindly convinced.

Wang Yi nodded when he saw that he didn't seem to be faking: "If you can really melt ice, why not solve it first, and catch Liu Leopard in the urn, but let's wipe it first." ”

As long as the ice melts, even if Liu Bao knows that his allies have been attacked, he will have no way to escape north, and Wang Yi will naturally be happy to see it.

Soon Xu Huang personally took the ice talisman to the confluence between the Fen River and the muddy water, pressed this talisman, and then three long openings quickly cracked on the ice surface, and the three cracks went along the three sides of the river and extended.

The cracked ground soon melted the ice, and the water rushed to reveal the scene of the spring and summer solstice.

As soon as the ice surface melted, the city of Jiangyi in the middle of the two rivers was impregnable, and the threat was eliminated, so Xu Huang led the troops to attack Bei in the south of the Hushui River, and Wang Yi led the troops to go to the county seat of Yicheng in the north of the Hushui River, intercepting the place where Beibei went to the north, and completely cut off the hope of staying in the east of Fenshui.

Qubei, who retreated north, soon ran into some remnants who had escaped by Xu Huang.

"What! The Han army in Jiangyi City has attacked you, what are you doing to eat, and you can't hold the huge camp. "I heard the scream, and whipped it.

"King! Don't you really blame us? There are too many Han troops in the city, far from the only 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled county soldiers that Liu Bao said, but the real elite of the Han army, they also have a small number of cavalry, and the general who leads the way, Xiao Yong, is abnormal, holding a big axe, cutting people when he sees them, no one is invincible, it seems to be ...... seems to be the most effective general Xu Huang under Yang Cheng. ”
