Chapter 563: Panic North

(Transition, some of the Kavin...... There's just one chapter tonight! )

In order to catch up with Qu and Shan Yu, Wei Wuji ordered the whole army to march at full strength, but the heavy cavalry still greatly limited the speed of the Wei army.

But...... The distance that Qu and Shan Yu had traveled from Beiping Pass to Heishui River was longer than Wei Wuji and the others who had rushed there.

So this gave Wei Wuji and the others a chance, so that they might catch up.

…………

On August 19 of the 15th year of the Marquis of Wei, the boundary between the Hanoi grassland and the Tiannan grassland was by the Heishui River.

At this time, Qu and Shan Yu were stationed on the south bank of the Heishui River, and under the protection of the guards, they looked at the Wei Chengguan in the south, which was already invisible.

After carefully planning the attack plan, consuming countless manpower and material resources of the Xiongnu, and lasting nearly three months of difficult campaigning, it finally ended up defeated.

Even if there is a reason to comfort himself, Qu and Shan Yu can't deceive their hearts.

"Da Shan Yu, it's time for us to cross the river!" At this time, Qu and Shan Yu's guard captain reminded on the side.

Qu and Shan Yu did not speak, but the unmoved figure expressed his attitude.

Now half of the brigade has not passed, Qu and Shan Yu claim to be with the soldiers of various departments, so naturally they can't cross the river first.

What's more, Qu and Shan Yu were still a little reluctant, he was reluctant to leave the rich land of the Central Plains, and he was reluctant to let his carefully planned war end in failure, so he still wanted to see more.

What's more, there are no pursuers in the Great Wall at this time, and there is actually no danger here.

But at this moment, the scout who had been thrown out returned alone, and his face was full of urgency.

"Da Danyu, there are most of the Wei cavalry twenty miles to the east, and they are rushing to our side at this time!" Before he could get closer, he heard the scout shout.

Qu and Shan Yu's hearts tightened suddenly, and then they instantly guessed who the Wei army was from.

At the same time, Qu and Shan Yu also felt very angry, and scolded Donghu and Ji Yu Heishui half to death in their hearts, but there was no fluctuation on his face.

I only listened to Qu and Shan Yudao: "I don't rush to pass it on in advance, let the team cross the river first!" ”

Yes, Qu and Shan Yu must remain calm in this matter, first of all, he must not panic, and secondly, his soldiers must not be chaotic, otherwise there will be a big mess.

The Wei army led by Wei Wuji, Qu and Shan Yu passed through the previous two ten thousand cavalry commanders, and Qu and Shan did not dare to underestimate their combat effectiveness.

So at this time, Qu and Shan Yu did not plan to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army, everything was based on stability, and Qu and Shan Yu could no longer afford big losses.

"Big Order, cross the river quickly!" The captain of the guard on the side urged again, Qu and Shan Yu's safety was of paramount importance.

Qu and Shan Yu said: "Don't worry, let the team cross the river first, otherwise...... It's going to be a big disaster! ”

Without waiting for the captain of the guard to speak, he listened to Qu and Shan Yu say to the scout: "Let all the scouts monitor this rushing Wei army and report its location at any time!" ”

After receiving the order, the scout immediately went to deliver the order, which was a matter of the safety of the whole army, and he was careless.

Later, Qu and Shan Yu ordered the whole army to hurry up and cross the river, but the news about the Wei army was not mentioned at all, and the only thing to worry about was the captain of the guard who Qu and Shan Yu.

But the news that came later made Qu and Shan Yu more and more uncalm, and the Wei army was getting closer and closer.

At this time, the Huns had two 10,000 horsemen, but only one 10,000 horsemen crossed the river, and the second 10,000 horsemen really crossed the river.

"Da Danyu, it's really time to pass, the Wei army is getting closer and closer, and there is no delay!" The captain of the guard almost pleaded.

Qu and Shan Yu still ignored it, but once again ordered the ten thousand cavalry commanders who were still on the south bank to cross the river as fast as possible.

At this time, Qu and Shan Yu can't panic, he must hold on to this last bit of time, as long as the army crosses the river, he can sit back and relax.

But Wei Wuji's purpose is the same, and Qu and Shan Yu also have political considerations, and they must not lose the battle under his personal leadership.

As long as the river is crossed, the war can be avoided, and Qu and Shan Yu no longer have to risk defeat.

After half of the Xiongnu crossed the river with the remaining 10,000 horsemen, Qu and Shan Yu agreed to cross the river themselves, and no one could say anything about crossing the river at this time.

This made the stone in the hearts of Qu and Shan Yu's guard captain fall, as long as Shan Yu is safe, he himself will be safe.

But just after Qu and Shan Yu began to cross the river, the front cavalry of the Wei army also felt that they were all light cavalry under Chen Zhan.

The Xiongnu soldiers, who had not yet crossed the river, were frightened by the sudden appearance of the Wei army, and at the same time they also wanted to cry.

Why did they meet the Wei army, crossing the river at this time was already a difficult thing, and it seemed to be a luxury to go back alive.

These Hun soldiers who were still on the south bank were anxious, and the soldiers who could cross the river in the river were even more anxious, including Qu and Shan Yu, who had not yet reached the north bank.

Shan Yu is gone, and Wan Qichang is gone...... The 2,000 or so Hun soldiers who were still on the south bank suddenly became in chaos, and their commanders and centurions were even more powerless to suppress them, let alone organize effective resistance.

However, at this time, Chen Zhan, who led the team, did not order a direct attack, but wandered not far from the south bank, and at the same time ordered to shoot him with a bow and arrow.

This is not because Chen Zhan's subordinates showed mercy, but in this way, they would not let the Huns fight to the death, and it would be better for them to cross the river in a panic.

Although the Heishui River is not very wide, it is dozens of meters long, and the situation below the water is unknown, so the speed of crossing the river is not fast at all.

Sure enough, after seeing that the Wei army did not kill directly, the Huns who were still on the south bank were blown up, who didn't want to live? What protection is only Yu, and the defense of the Great Huns are all left behind at this time.

So more people immediately mounted their horses and straddled into the river, with only one thought left in their minds, that is, to flee to the north bank as soon as possible.

Once one person is defeated and leaves, then the Huns on the entire south bank will really collapse, and there will be no more army, and they will rush into the river one by one.

I have to say that Chen Zhan's goal has been achieved, and then the Wei army pressed up on the whole line, directly to the bank of the Heishui River.

After that, the situation was more tragic, and the Wei army directly used the bows and arrows they carried to fire volleys again and again.

This caused great casualties to the Huns in the river and on the other side of the river, so those who crossed the river fled north in panic, just wanting to escape from the range of the Wei army as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhang Xian's department, which arrived as the second group, saw that Chen Zhan's department really shot the Hun army crossing the river, so he immediately ordered the whole army to fire a salvo.

This is even more terrifying, the people of the two commanders add up to 6,000, and a salvo is more than 6,000 arrows, which is enough to cause great casualties to the Huns.

Therefore, Qu and Shan tried their best to escape the battle, in fact, at this time the Huns also had a lot of homeopathy, and those who could survive all depended on luck, or the blessing of their wolf god.

Similarly, Qu and Shan Yu, who escaped with their lives in crossing the river, did not have the majesty of the mountain before at this time, but fled north with the army under the escort of the members of the guards.

However, the rain of arrows of the Wei army was too dense, and although Qu and Shan Yu had a large team of men and horses to block arrows for him in the process of escaping, they were still inevitably hit by arrows in the shoulder.

It's a pity that Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian on the south bank don't know about Qu and Shan Yu's arrows, otherwise they might have to fight at this time, what a great military feat this must be.

Fortunately, the Huns did not have any concept of honor guards, and before crossing the river, Qu and Shan Yu put away their big guards.

Therefore, Chen Zhan and the others didn't recognize it, and said that Xiongnu Shan Yu had already crossed the river one step ahead, otherwise Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian would have to leave Xiongnu Shan Yu behind.

…………

On the other side, after Qu and Shan Yu were hit by the arrow, the guards below were panicked, if Shan Yu had any mistakes, they would all be buried together.

So, under the hoarse command of the captain of the guard, Qu and Shan Yu were simply treated for their wounds, and they fled north in panic.

At this time, they were afraid that the Wei army on the south bank would chase after them, even if the Xiongnu side could already organize resistance, but Shan Yu's safety was the first priority.
