Chapter 163: Jiang Sheng came to the rescue
The Wuhuan cavalry had already killed the red eyes, but they had not forgotten Zhao Yun's authority, although they were not happy to kill, they still collected their troops and returned to the battle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Yundao: "Our army is small, and it is difficult to compete with Qiu Liju's main army, so we can't fight in the future, and we will accept it when we see it, so as to avoid being surrounded by enemy counterattacks." If anyone does not obey orders, military law will be involved! ”
The Wuhuan cavalry was intimidated by the might of the Han army, and they were also grateful to Zhao Yun for leading them to seek revenge, so they had nothing to say and resolutely obeyed Zhao Yun's unified command.
After the defeat and escape of the Dun cavalry, there were many war horses on the battlefield that could still be put into battle, so Zhao Yun asked the Wuhuan cavalry to select good horses and take them to the west.
After three days of marching, Zhao Yun's troops had approached the Upa tribe in the west, and Jiang Sheng's scouts found Zhao Yun and hurriedly came over to pay a visit.
"The lord has already gone south?" Zhao Yun asked.
"General Zhao, the main force of Nanlou's army has been defeated by the lord, and now he has returned to his tribe to regroup his troops and horses, we are temporarily facing the main force of Qiu Liju, if General Zhao does not have a battle plan, he can go south to fight Qiu Liju."
"That's fine, if you get rid of Qiu Liju, the difficult building won't be able to set off any waves."
"I wonder if General Zhao knows General Chu Yan's whereabouts?"
"Chu Yan? Did Chu Yan also come to the grassland? ”
"Exactly, a few days ago, the lord sent a letter to General Chu, asking him to lead the army to the grassland, but until today, we have not found his whereabouts."
"I've been on the grassland for a few months, and I haven't seen Chu Yan, so you better go and investigate again, and I'll lead the army south now."
Counting the days, Chu Yan should have already arrived at the Emuyan Tribe, but the spies near the Aifuyan Department did not find Chu Yanjun. Jiang Sheng is also very strange, Chu Yan should not be the one who delayed the fighter.
Chu Yan can't say if he is bitter, as soon as he entered the grassland, he was surrounded by Qiu Liju's main force, in a radius of dozens of kilometers, Qiu Liju's soldiers and horses were everywhere, and Chu Yan's army had 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, but Qiu Liju was 60,000 cavalry.
Qiu Liju also saw that it would be difficult for Chu Yan to win even if he fought to the death, so he surrounded them and tried to trap Chu Yan.
Chu Yanjun carried half a month's rations, but now they are besieged, and they can't find food, so they can only let the soldiers save their rations, and if they can't eat, their physical strength can't keep up, and their combat strength is getting weaker and weaker.
Chu Yan tried to break through, but as soon as he went out into battle, he was killed by Qiu Liju's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and paid hundreds of dead and wounded in vain.
Qiu Liju ordered 40,000 soldiers and horses to continue to besiege Chu Yanbu, while ordered 20,000 cavalry to patrol the perimeter, he wanted to encircle the point and send reinforcements, waiting to attack the army that came to the rescue.
Seeing that the dry food was gradually exhausted, Chu Yan was anxious, he could see Qiu Liju's intentions, but there was no way to break the enemy, he didn't know if Jiang Sheng would come to help, he knew that when he divided his troops with Jiang Sheng a year ago, Jiang Sheng only had four thousand horsemen, and now he doesn't know what happened to Jiang Sheng.
The scouts sent by Jiang Sheng all reported that no trace of Chu Yan had been found, and Jiang Sheng felt that it was not good, so he asked Wu Yan to lead the allies on the right and the middle to the Wangting tribe in Qiuliju, and he led the left army to move in the western direction of Liao.
There was no news of Chu Yan in the entire grassland, so it must have happened when he came out of the fortress, so Jiang Sheng moved closer to Liaoxi.
When Zhao Yun caught up with Wuyan's troops, he thought it was Qiu Liju's main force, and led the army to rush over.
Commanding the army with a banner was Jiang Sheng's first initiative, and the soldiers who fought with Jiang Sheng knew that this Wuhuan alliance was no exception.
When Zhao Yun saw the flag, he hurriedly stopped the offensive, gathered the army into a defensive formation, and then urged the horse to negotiate.
Wu Yan hadn't seen Zhao Yun, so he asked, "The general is from the Great Han?" ”
Zhao Yundao: "I am under the command of Jiang Sheng, the military captain of the West Garden of the Great Han Dynasty, who is Your Excellency?" ”
Wu Yan said: "It turned out to be General Jiang's command, and I am Wu Yan, the leader of the Wuhuan Alliance, and I am in charge of the alliance on behalf of General Jiang. ”
Jiang Sheng's letter only mentioned the Wuhuan Alliance and the allies, and did not mention other affairs.
In front of De Wuyan, Zhao Yun and Wu Yan both turned over and dismounted and greeted each other.
Wu Yan was greatly surprised to learn that Zhao Yun's subordinates were the surrendered Su Fu Yan Division, and said to Zhao Yun: "In this way, General Zhao is my own family, I don't know what the general's plans are?" ”
"Lord of the Umeng, the last general will be ordered by the lord to go to the Qiuliju royal court tribe to help in the war."
"Haha-what a coincidence, I'm also leading the army to attack the royal tribe now, everyone can go the same way."
"Exactly! Without further ado, let's continue the march. ”
This time, the army attacking the Wangting tribe reached 40,000 cavalry, and its strength was already able to compete with the Qiu Liju cavalry who stayed behind in the Wangting tribe.
Jiang Sheng fed back the news that Qiu Liju's 60,000 cavalry had surrounded Chu Yanbu, and Jiang Sheng had less than 30,000 cavalry on hand, and it was difficult to compete with Qiu Liju in terms of troops.
After thinking about it, Jiang Sheng decided to take the initiative to rush into Qiu Liju's encirclement, so that the strength was at least about the same, and then join forces with Chu Yan to concentrate superior forces to break through, even if the breakthrough failed, it would also contain Qiu Liju, and Wuyan's attack battle would improve the chances of victory.
The plan has been decided, and Jiang Sheng waved his army straight to the location of Chu Yan's department.
Qiu Liju found out that Jiang Sheng only led 30,000 horsemen to rescue Chu Yan, and was very happy, and surrounded the point to help, he wanted Jiang Sheng to be very good at Qiu Liju.
After the battle, Qiu Liju was dumbfounded, the less than 3,000 cavalry around Jiang Sheng turned out to be the elite of one as ten, and the 5,000 cavalry he sent to intercept and kill was defeated by Jiang Sheng, with heavy casualties.
Chu Yan heard the war drums and knew that reinforcements were coming, so he did not wait passively, but stayed in the infantry to form a defensive formation, and led the cavalry to run quickly in the direction where the war drums came.
Qiu Liju also saw Chu Yan's movements, so he left 20,000 cavalry to fight against Chu Yan, and led 30,000 cavalry to meet Jiang Sheng.
30,000 against 30,000, Jiang Sheng has a slight upper hand in combat power because he has 3,000 elites. Qiu Liju brandished a broadsword and led his elite cavalry to kill Jiang Shengjun.
Ai Fuyan did not come with the army, and those Wuhuan allies were subject to Jiang Sheng's orders, Jiang Sheng waved his banner, so that the army was divided into two roads and went out in a roundabout way.
Qiu Liju had to divide his troops to meet each other, and the two armies fought hard, and the speed of casualties was not much different.
Jiang Sheng did not let the Xuanjia cavalry fight, but waited quietly and watched the situation, looking for an opportunity to attack Qiu Liju directly. After Chu Yan led the army to rush, Qiu Liju's cavalry also surrounded and killed.
Jiang Sheng saw Qiu Liju's other cavalry fighting with Chu Yan from a distance, and he didn't care about Qiu Liju, so he led the Xuanjia cavalry to respond.
Qiu Liju tried to intercept Jiang Sheng, but the main army was entangled by the allies on the left and it was difficult to get out of the battle, so he had to give up and concentrate on attacking the allies. (To be continued.) )
