Chapter 355: Break through and go south
Kirbineng's strategy is indeed very clever, and he is very rational, knowing that only by destroying the opponent's army is fundamental, as for how many civilians are killed, it makes no sense at all.
Kirby's fundamental purpose in this operation is to strengthen his own strength, and he is not interested in anything that conflicts with this purpose.
"What's going on over there with the Huns?" Kirby was able to pay close attention to the situation of the Huns from the very beginning.
His plan from the beginning was to let the Xiongnu fight for him, as long as the Xiongnu could destroy or drag the Han army, then he would take the initiative to attack, otherwise he would only wait and see.
"My lord, the Xiongnu are really useless, where is it like us Xianbei, they attacked the city of the Han people, it is said that it took five days to fill the trench dug by the Han people, and now they have only begun to officially attack the city of the Han people." Kirby's generals said with great disdain.
"Hmph, the Xiongnu are useless, but at least they are more useful than the Han people, as long as they can defeat the Han people, it is best to lose both, then our benefits can be greater."
Kirby's eyes were full of contempt, he looked down on the Han people, and he also looked down on the Huns.
However, unlike Xianbei, who had successfully reaped the great benefits, Yuvro's side was indeed in great trouble, and a trench had them fill in for almost five days.
Now that the trench was filled and the soldiers were approaching the city, I thought that the Han people would be so frightened that they would quickly surrender the city, but I didn't expect that I would send people to the city to surrender, and I almost let the archers in the city shoot and kill.
This was a contempt for him and a provocation to the Huns, so Yu Fuluo was so angry that he ordered a strong attack.
The Xiongnu siege was of course extremely fierce, but when they were fighting, Zheng Bai had already begun to arrange a breakthrough.
It is not easy for them to break through the siege, and they must be 300 miles away before anyone can respond, which means that the middle 300 miles may be the 300 miles of death, and if they can run through, they will live, and if they can't run, they will die.
Zheng Bai called King Qiao, and the two discussed in the county office.
"King Qiao, I have received a message from my lord that they have met us three hundred miles away, and told us to evacuate to the south." Zheng Bai knew that the situation was urgent, so he spoke directly.
King Qiao frowned when he heard this, and said: "Why do you want to evacuate, withdraw at this time, once Xianbei is guerrilla and besieged in the back, how many people can escape?" ”
"King Qiao, when you entered the city, you didn't bring food, do you think there are more than 60,000 of you, how long can the food in the city last?"
was asked by Zheng Baiyi, King Qiao was suddenly dumbfounded, knowing that it would not work if he did not withdraw, otherwise they would not be able to hold on without the enemy attacking.
"Okay, then we'll break through to the south, but I don't know what Zheng County's plan is." King Crag was a decisive man, and he made a decision immediately, but this decision made his heart bleed, because he didn't know how many people would survive this time.
"There is no plan. Let the old and weak be united in front, and our soldiers in the rear, and never let the enemy pass unless we are all killed, as long as they can run three hundred miles away, they will be safe. ”
This decision was made by Zheng Bai in combination with the information given by Ye Chen, and the intelligence showed that Xianbei had not launched an attack, it seemed that he did not want to have too much loss, and if he put on a desperate posture, he believed that the enemy would not press too hard.
When King Qiao heard that Zheng Bai was in this posture, he knew that he would either suffer heavy casualties or let ordinary people pass safely.
Three hundred miles of road, for all horseback is not far, two hours can be reached, and as long as Xianbei does not divide the army, he blocks them for half an hour, then Xianbei will not be able to catch up.
If the enemy divides the troops, then those old and weak will have no one to protect, and the result can be imagined, but if they make up 10,000 people, if the enemy divides the troops, then they will also have to pay a considerable price.
After King Qiao agreed, there would be no problem, Zheng Bai was resolute in implementing Ye Chen's decision.
The two sides gathered 10,000 soldiers, including 7,500 Wuhuan and 2,500 on Zheng Bai's side.
All of Wu Huan's net worth is here, the king of the cliff really doesn't dare to take risks, a thousand people, at least can block the pursuers for more than a quarter of an hour, for the cavalry, a quarter of an hour is also very precious, and even if you are desperate, you can block it for a longer time.
Zheng Bai understood what King Qiao thought, so it was like this.
In the middle of the night, the south gate opened, and King Qiao and Zheng Bai came out with their soldiers first, and then guarded both sides of the gate to prevent the enemy from attacking the city gate at this time.
When the soldiers outside were arranged, the people who broke through the siege rushed out, and they went out of the city gate without anyone stopping, and went directly and quickly to the south.
When the gates were opened, the Xianbei scouts arranged around the city found out and immediately reported it to Kirbineng.
"My lord, sure enough, the people in the city have chosen to escape."
"They have to do this, there are tens of thousands of Wuhuan people, how long can the food in the city last."
"My lord, are we going to pursue it?"
"Don't worry, they're all hiding in the city, it's not easy for us to start, let them out first, and when we get to the wild, it's what we say." Look for an opportunity to kill their soldiers first, as long as their soldiers are gone, the others will not be able to escape. ”
Kirby can strengthen himself, killing people is not his goal, as long as their soldiers are killed, then those people can't escape, even if they can escape to Liaodong, Kirby can also think that he can go and capture them all.
The Han army and Wuhuan moved, and Kirby could not have moved at all, he ordered people to start preparations, and once they all left the city, he would follow them.
The exit from the city went very smoothly, and both Zheng Bai and King Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, but greater danger was still to come.
"My lord, Xianbei is keeping up."
"Hmph, if they dare to come, they will pay a heavy price." King Qiao put his knife horizontally and said murderously.
"King Qiao, they are just tailgating, they haven't attacked yet, and ignore them first, let's slow down and move forward, keep a distance from the big team, once Xianbei really attacks, it's not too late for us to fight with them."
Zheng Bai's judgment was that Xianbei would not attack in a hurry, at least Xianbei would not attack until the whole situation was clarified.
Now that they have 9,000 people, if they want to attack, their own casualties will definitely not be small.
Will make this judgment, or because through trade infiltration over the years, he has a certain understanding of the various departments of the grassland, and he also knows some information about Kirbyneng, plus the performance of the siege but not attack before, so he can judge it.
After following for half an hour, Kirby was able to roughly feel the strength of the other party, so he said to a general beside him: "You take a group of people to provoke it immediately and see the situation." ”
Just because Kirby didn't attack doesn't mean he doesn't attack, if he can capture the entire Wuhuan tribe on the way, that's of course what he wants the most.
