Chapter 101: Precarious

The 30,000 troops of Xiliang, under the leadership of Ling Huqian, launched a fierce attack on the camp of Fuqu Funu on the morning of the 15th, and the arrows in the sky were all shot at the Xiongnu army in unison.

Fuqu Funu ordered the soldiers to guard the camp and repelled the Xiliang army several times, and the corpses of the Xiliang army were everywhere outside the camp. In the several attacks of the Xiongnu army in the Western Liang army, many soldiers were shot by the arrows of the Western Liang army. There were also many casualties in the Hun camp.

Until noon, the Xiliang army still failed to take the Xiongnu camp. Fuqu Funu guarded the passage of the Xiliang army into Zhangye, and if Fuqu Funu could not be defeated, the Xiliang army would not be able to take Zhangye City.

In the Lejuan camp, Li Xin listened to the report of the sergeant and looked displeased. Ling Hu Qian lost 3,000 soldiers and horses and did not move forward, so that the 20,000 troops of Fuqu Funu blocked it.

"Come on, order General Fox to take the Hun camp before dark, otherwise you will blame the governor for being unkind." Li Xin shouted to the sergeant outside the tent.

"Yes." The sergeant outside the tent took the order and left.

Li Xin also knew that Linghuqian's 30,000-strong army was almost the same as the soldiers and horses of Fuqu Funu, but now he had begun to attack the Xiongnu army, and the Huns from the counties near Zhangye would gather in Zhangye tomorrow at the latest.

At this moment, if you don't quickly take the camp of Fuqu Funu, once the Hun thieves return to Zhangye, it will be a great opportunity.

Zhang Jing since Li Xin served as the governor of Pingliang, the whole person has been a lot more idle, and now the soldiers and horses of the Lejun camp are all under Li Xin's control except for Linghu Qian, who led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Hun camp. All affairs in the army are in charge of Li Xin.

"Captain Yu, how is the battle ahead?" Zhang Jing looked at Yu Ben, who walked beside him, and asked.

Yu Ben stood beside Zhang Jing, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "General Qiyu, the last general heard that General Linghu has not yet broken through the Hun camp, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered him to take the Hun camp before dark." ”

"Fuqu Funu is a Hun general, if you want to attack, I am afraid that General Linghu will suffer a lot of casualties. However, if we don't take the Hun camp, our army will be blocked from taking a single step forward in Lejuan. ”

"General, what should I do?" Yu Ben asked worriedly.

"Let's go. Hurry up and follow Ben to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Zhang Jing got up and grabbed the sword on the case, and walked quickly towards Li Xin's Chinese army tent.

Half an hour later, Zhang Jing walked out of Li Xin's big tent, Li Xin ordered the army to march to the Hun camp of Fuqu Funu, the soldiers are very fast, if you let Fuqu Funu delay time, it is very easy to change.

Li Xin personally led more than 30,000 soldiers and horses to the Lejuan camp, and now the Xiliang army has been dispatched with all the troops, striving to take the Xiongnu camp before dark, and more than 60,000 soldiers and horses attacked the 20,000 Hun thieves who were Fuqu Funu.

The more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Linghu Qian saw that the prince Li Xin personally led the army to arrive, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the soldiers killed the Xiongnu camp as if they were not dying.

The Xiliang army held shields and long knives, braved the arrows shot by the Huns, and killed in front of the Huns' camp, and 60,000 troops flocked to the Huns' camp like a tide.

The valley mouth guarded by the Huns was instantly occupied by the Xiliang army under the impact of the Xiliang army, and the Xiongnu army was attacked by Linghu Qian, and the camp gate had been breached.

Fuqu Funu was in the big tent, listening to the sound of killing outside, and his face was pale. The whole army of the Xiliang army has been dispatched, and the reinforcements in Zhangye City have not yet arrived, if their own camp is lost, the Xiliang army will drive straight in.

"General, the Xiliang Army has come in. The brothers couldn't hold it anymore. ”

When Fuqu Funu was anxious in the tent, suddenly a general with a bloody face outside the tent broke in.

"What do you say? Go back quickly to block the Xiliang army, if you dare to shake the army's heart again, you will not be spared. Frustrated Funu shouted, looked at the general in front of him and scolded angrily.

"General, quickly withdraw to Zhangye City. The Xiliang army came prepared, several times more than my Daliang warriors. There is no news in Zhangye City so far, and the last general is worried that the Xiliang army has launched an attack on Zhangye......"

"Someone, give the order. Quickly follow the withdrawal of Zhangye. Fuqu Funu suddenly realized that he had asked for help from Fuqu Mengxun early in the morning, but there was no news so far.

The entire Hun camp was within a radius of several miles, and there were sounds of fighting everywhere. Li Xin and Zhang Jing sat on horseback, looking at the Hun camp not far away from the hillside, and the Xiliang army had already rushed in.

"Your Highness, it seems that our army will be able to take the Hun camp before dark, which is really gratifying." Zhang Jing stroked his beard and smiled.

"Good. After occupying the Xiongnu camp, rest in place for a night, send troops to Zhangye early tomorrow morning, and wait for the siege equipment to be ready, and take Zhangye. Li Xin suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately ordered.

In the Xiongnu camp, Fuqu Funu was dressed in black armor and rode on a war horse, holding a long knife, and gathered Hun generals and personal guards around him. Seeing that the Xiliang Army had begun to kill himself and others, there was a sharp pain in his heart.

Once upon a time, the Xiliang army was killed by the Xiongnu army and could only defend the city. Now he was killed by the Xiliang army and could only abandon the camp.

"Let's go. Go back to Zhangye City first. ”

Fuqu Funu and his party led the remnants of the Huns to the east towards Zhangye City. Of the more than 20,000 people, there are now less than 8,000 people left, more than 10,000 people were lost in this battle, and there were still more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass in the camp that had not had time to be burned.

After the Xiliang army occupied the Xiongnu camp, they gathered their horses, and hundreds of Hun soldiers did not have time to escape and were besieged by the Xiliang army.

"Early tomorrow morning, the soldiers will be sent out."

In this battle, the Huns lost more than 10,000 people, and the Xiliang army got more than 7,000 horses and more than 100,000 stones, grain and grass. The Xiliang army suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and Fuqu Funu retreated to Zhangye, and could no longer stop the offensive of the Xiliang army.

Zhangye City has been under martial law in the whole city, the four gates are closed, and the people in the city are not allowed to enter or leave. Just when Fuqu Funu ordered people to ask for help from Fuqu Mengxun, the Xiliang army appeared in the north of Zhangye City.

This made Fuqu Mengxun shocked, the Xiliang army fought with Fuqu Funu in the direction of Lejuan, and now there is a Xiliang army under Zhangye City, the number is not less than 10,000, and there are only 8,000 defenders in the city, Zhangye City has now become precarious.

Fuqu Mengxun immediately ordered the four gates to be closed, and at the same time ordered the dragon and tiger guards of Qiyin to go out of the city and send orders to Guzang, Jinshan, Qilian and other counties to lead the army back to Zhangye.

Last night, Fuqu Mengxun had ordered Zhenguo General Zang Mozi and champion General Fu En to lead troops back to help, and it was estimated that they would be able to return to Zhangye tonight.

The sky was getting dark, and a bright moon hung in the air. In the dense forest, which is less than ten miles east of Zhangye City, startled birds fly out from time to time.

This is the only place for Zhangye to pass through Xi'an County, under the night, the moonlight shines in the forest, and the long knife of the Xiliang army is shining cold.

Li Yan and Han Qian have been leading 10,000 soldiers and horses to set up an ambush here for half a day, and Lei Ming and Iron Hammer have led 5,000 light horsemen under Zhangye City.

"Childe, the sentinel in front has come to report, Zang Mo's five thousand soldiers and horses are about to arrive." Han Qian walked up to Li Yan and whispered.

"Good. The whole army is on alert and ready for battle. ”
