Chapter 020: Decisive Battle of Wuquan
Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Shen's purging team rushed to the Half Moon Valley again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As he expected, several groups of cavalry were responsible for defending the valley pass, but the Huns did not expect him to return so quickly, and hurriedly met the team that had not yet been fully organized.
Qin Shen did not engage them in short combat, but made a beautiful arc in the oblique thorn, shooting a few waves of arrows and then disappearing into the night, so that the Xiongnu, who had insufficient range of bows and arrows, had no way to start.
After tossing the Huns to exhaustion, another order was given, and then the army disappeared into the deep steppe......
Dawn breaks.
A small hidden valley.
Qin Shen and his cavalry had just entered here, and before that, they took advantage of the darkness to kick seven or eight small Xiongnu camps that were rushing to the Half Moon Valley to gather.
"Tut, General, I really admire you, how did you find this kind of place?" Cao Jin looked around flatteringly.
Qin Shen glanced at him extremely tiredly, "Brother Cao, do you have to praise me a few words every day to survive?" ā
Cao Jin smiled innocently, scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I don't want to be like this, no, Brother Xue said that the general likes to listen." ā
āā¦ā¦ā
Qin Shen was speechless for a while, and it took a long time for him to come to his senses, and he coughed and said, "Tell the brothers to rest here today, and then send scouts to investigate the situation in Half Moon Valley......
Pondering for a moment, "I think the Huns are very well guarded today, so that the scouts only need to pay attention to whether the other party is dispatched to Wuquan, and there is no need to observe the movements in the Xiongnu Valley. ā
"Not going to attack the camp today?" Cao Jin asked in surprise.
Qin Shen glanced at him, "You are stupid to be a Hun...... Doesn't make it? ā
After speaking, seeing that he pretended to be suddenly enlightened and nodded again and again, Qin Shen hated to kick him to death, and suppressed the evil fire that could not be released: "How many materials were robbed last night?" ā
"Some arrows, and about enough dried meat to eat for two days."
When it came to business, he was not ambiguous at all, Qin Shen nodded, waved his hand and said, "Your brother Wuen should be busy." ā
Cao Jin hugged his fists and promised, and then muttered all the way in a daze, "What is Brother Wuen" and rushed to arrange affairs.
The Xiongnu did not go out for two consecutive days, according to the scout's investigation, because the siege equipment was burned, and now the army is carrying out a nationwide logging campaign.
Qin Shen was also happy to do so, he even thought about whether to set fire again, so that the Huns would be entangled in building cars for the rest of their lives, but he felt that it was too difficult to realize and had to give up this tempting idea, so the army repaired in the small valley for two days.
As soon as dawn broke on the third day, the scouts came to report that the Huns were burying the pot and cooking, and seeing the movement, it seemed that they were preparing to march to Wuquan, Qin Shen immediately gathered a team and rushed to the interception site.
At three poles in the sun, looking at the heavy siege equipment pulled by the Xiongnu horses in the distance, he gave the order to attack, and then led everyone to use simple and effective oblique throwing tactics, so that every wave of arrow rain took away dozens of hundreds of Huns.
The Xiongnu were played by the Han army and suffered heavy injuries at the same time, and had no choice but to ask the Chinese army for help, the Xiongnu commander was also angry when he heard the news, and immediately sent out 10,000 cavalry to encircle and annihilate the Han army, but just hurried from the front more than ten miles, but was told that the Han army had not long ago detoured to the direction of the Chinese army from a distance.
When the cavalry heard the news and was worried that the Chinese army would be attacked, they hurried back, and when they arrived at the Chinese army, they saw a quiet and peaceful place, and at this time, the news of the baggage team asking for help came again.
After several times, the Xiongnu commander finally came up with a good way, that is, all the armies merged and moved slowly, and swore in the name of Changshengtian that if the Han army attacked, even if it was pursued for thousands of miles, he would not hesitate to annihilate the other party.
However, when they merged, the Han cavalry never appeared again.
The Xiongnu no longer dared to be careless, so they did not walk dozens of miles on the grassland until the evening, and finally pulled the siege equipment to the vicinity of Wuquan Pass and set up camp.
Early the next morning, another small hidden valley.
Cao Jin rushed to Qin Shen's side, but was stunned by his leisurely demeanor leaning against the big tree and humming a small song with a grass stalk in his mouth.
"What?" Qin Shen glanced at him and asked.
Cao Jinxing turned around and said busily: "General, the Huns have begun to attack the city. ā
"Siege the city, siege the city, what to panic about." Qin Shen said indifferently.
Cao Jin was so blocked by his words that he didn't know what to say, so he stood in place.
"Anything else?"
Cao Jin saw that he really didn't mean to send troops, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "This, I want to ask the general when we will send troops?" ā
Qin Shen patted his thigh and said casually: "Wait, let's talk about it then." ā
"Huh?!" Cao Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said in a slightly dissatisfied voice: "The brothers are all holding back their strength, and they ......"
"Then tell them to leak first." Qin Shen rudely interrupted him, muttered something to the hell, and then ordered: "Take the scout back to a radius of five miles to hide his whereabouts, and then tell the brothers to save up their strength for the past few days, I will have my own arrangements then." ā
"No!" Cao Jin reluctantly agreed.
Qin Shen looked at him and sighed, "If everyone in the army looks like you, this army's spirit will also be scattered...... Well, I'll tell you about my considerations, now ......"
Cao Jin hugged his fists and said: "It's because I'm impatient under the successive victories in the past few days, the general doesn't need to say much, I'll go to appease the brothers and ensure that when the general sends out the troops, the momentum will be like a rainbow." ā
At the end of September, Wuquan Pass, the warm day was empty.
For the first time in six days, the Xiongnu commander Gao Tuang's brows were completely relaxed, because as long as there was a new round of attacks, Wuquan Pass would undoubtedly be broken.
As long as the pass is broken, he will be able to stop the chatter of everyone on the steppe, and he will never forget the contemptuous gaze of everyone when he invited his father Khan to recruit troops, and the undisguised ridicule when he led the army into the pass with high spirits.
Yes, that's right, although the tribes have been resentful of him since the night attack six days ago, and now they hate him even more because of the heavy casualties, but what does it matter? As soon as the city is broken, they will happily lift themselves up to the sky.
Whenever he thought of the dissatisfaction of the tribes against him, he couldn't help but think of the cavalry commander of the Han army who made him hate to devour his flesh and bones.
He was almost forced to retreat by everyone when he was in Half Moon Valley, and he was almost about to create the biggest shame on the grassland, all because of that person, and combined with all the information, he also knew that person should be Qin Shen, who had recently become famous.
Qin Shen?! What about being famous? It's not that I'm too scared to come out anymore.
From now on, I am the one who wants to be famous! A contemptuous smile escaped from the corner of Gao Tuang's mouth, and he slowly raised his right hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The drums of the offensive sounded again.
Hundreds of Huns, who had just taken turns and were full of strength, pushed the door crashing cart made of huge trees and rushed to close the door.
More than a dozen rushing carts equipped with pulleys were approaching the city wall, driven by dozens of Huns at the bottom.
The Huns in the rear pushed the ladder cart to follow slowly, and there were thousands of Hun shooters who bit scimitars next to them, only to suppress the Han army with arrows after reaching the firing range, and then climbed the city wall along the ladder to give the Han army a fatal blow.
Listening to the sound of "dong dong" war drums sounding again outside the gate, the Han army, which had been resting on the wall for less than half an hour, quickly straightened up, raised the longbow, moved the rolling wood, and prepared the oil for the ......
looked coldly at the slowly approaching Huns, and there was inevitably a trace of sadness on the tired face after all.
They had been fighting for four days straight, and now they were running out of arrows.
In the face of this dilemma, they also had a little confusion, what happened to the big man now? Where has the big man who once called for help with us gone?
They don't understand the ghosts and ghosts in the court, they don't understand the careful calculations of various forces, and at this moment, they don't have time to think about this.
They only know that behind them is their brothers and sisters, their fathers and old hometowns, they only know that the foundation of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years cannot be damaged in their own hands, they only know that even if it is death, it is-
The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the soul of the Han cannot be lost!
tightened the longbow in his hand again, wound the arrow, led but did not fire, and slowly raised it to look at the sky......
On the blue sky, a faint crescent moon accompanies the return of the sun.
The decisive battle is coming.
The Huns were already in range, but the Han army with bows was waiting, waiting for them to go deeper.
Boom!
The war drums that were closed suddenly sounded.
Suddenly, the arrow feathers of locusts flew overwhelmingly towards the pass.
The Huns shouted in unison, rushed a few steps, pulled the bow and shot back, and for a time the drums shouted loudly, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the arrows flew.
"Bang!" The heavy door slamming car slammed into the door, shaking the door violently.
At this time, the five layers of the 10-meter-high rushing car had already stepped into the buried trench and reached the firing range, and the Huns hiding in the car pulled their bows and shot.
The cloud ladder also slowly rose under the traction of the Hun soldiers......
The Han army and the people on the pass were busy and methodically preparing boiling water, boulders, fire oil, and rolling wood, just waiting for the Xiongnu to approach and dump down......
The decisive battle has finally arrived.
"General! General, let's plan ahead! Yang Pu in the closed building listened to the sound of fighting outside, pacing back and forth, with an impatient expression.
Dou Yi, who was full of fatigue, glanced at him lightly, "What are you going to do?" ā
"Even if it's ......" Yang Pu stopped and was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "Even if you retreat to the county seat, it's okay." ā
"Zhong Yan, you and I have been friends for more than ten years, how can I not know that you are thinking about me, but the border passes cannot be guarded, what is the use of a small county town?" Dou Yi sighed, "Besides, even if I retreat to the county seat, can I outrun the Hun Iron Cavalry?" Even if I run through the Hun Iron Cavalry, what face will I have to steal my life when I see the mourning all over the wilderness? ā
After a pause, his momentum suddenly turned and he said proudly: "Besides, the old man still has Ziyi's thousand five iron horses available, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer!" ā
"Him?!" Hearing this, Yang Pu looked at him like a monster for a long time, and sneered: "The general still counts on him? If he had a heart, he wouldn't have been left without even half a cent of news for days, and I think he ......."
"Wrong!" Dou Yi interrupted, "The old man has read countless people in his life, and he has never looked away!" ā
Yang Pu looked at him with a look of conviction on his face sitting in front of the desk in astonishment, and he didn't know how to persuade for a while, and a depressing atmosphere filled the building relatively silently, which made him feel depressed.
At this moment, a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted outside the building.
"He's coming."
As if talking about an old friend who came on an appointment, Dou Yi slowly closed his eyes.
Yang Pu hesitated for a moment, looked at Dou Yi, who was still with his eyes closed, turned his head and stepped out of the building to follow everyone's gaze-
A team of cavalry that seems extremely small and lonely compared to this world is rushing with thunder, the towering and fluttering dragon banner, the unhesitating posture, the invincible momentum, all announcing to the world, the Han iron cavalry -
Here it comes!
