Chapter 60: Contact Warfare
On Zhang Yi's side, after returning to Zishi, he led 30,000 steps to ride to the northwest of Lishi on the second day. Zhang Yi listened to Zang Min's words, but he was deeply affected by the king's order, felt great pressure, and desperately wanted to break the Xiongnu and quell the rebellion.
Of course, the contempt for the Huns and his earnestness for meritorious service also prompted him to attack eagerly. Zang Min's words are still in his ears, let's be careful, Zhang Yi secretly told himself. However, when he turned his head and looked at the 30,000 army behind him, he felt a lot more relieved, how could such a majestic army, just a few Huns, resist.
"Wen You, Zhang Tingshi and Zang Taishou sent a message, let me raise the soldiers on their backs, and fight the Huns together. What do you think, how will our army behave?" Puzicheng, Dong Zhuo put away the letter and asked Li Rudao beside him.
Dong Zhuo, who is in the prime of life, has a rough appearance, a strong wind of marching up and down his body, and between his every move, he is full of oppression and is very powerful.
Taking the letter in Dong Zhuo's hand, Li Ru quickly skimmed through it, pinched his short beard and pondered for a while, then looked up at Dong Zhuo with bright eyes. Said slowly: "Zhang Tingshi's move is too impatient, and he underestimates the Huns. The three roads marched together, and it seemed that the troops were menacing, but when they were marching, they could not communicate and communicate in time, and if there was a slight discord, it was easy to give the Huns a chance to break through. However, Zang Taishou, the words of the old man, between the lines, the meaning of the reminder jumped on the paper. ”
"The edict of the Son of Heaven has been issued, no matter what, I have to lead the army north, otherwise I can't afford the crime of disobedience!" Disdain flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes: "Order the three armies to clean up, and set up." ”
Li Ru promised: "But our army still has to be careful, the hills and ravines around the rock, the terrain is complicated, and we need to guard against enemy cavalry attacks!" Dong Zhuo nodded, looking like I was self-reflective.
At the beginning of August of the third year of Guanghe, 70,000 people of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, Bingzhou Assassin Shi Qiqi, Shangdang, and Hedong Han troops attacked the Xiongnu rebels in Lishi in three ways. The southern part of Xihe County, which was almost emptied by Ji Louyuan, immediately showed a pre-war situation.
After this period of forced relocation, the entire Han people in the south of the West River were almost completely cleared and relocated to the vicinity of Yuanshui further north. The two small towns of Yuanyin and Yuanyang have been captured by Ji Louyuan.
At this time, the Xiongnu army active around Lishi was not only less than 30,000 people detected by Zang Min, but quietly transferred more than 10,000 horsemen from Meiji, and Ji Louyuan had 40,000 troops available at this time, which was a considerable military force.
Thousands of flags and thousands of horses swept through the West River, Ji Lou Yuan did not expect that the resistance of the West River would be so weak at the beginning, and it suddenly aroused greater ambitions, and the West River alone could no longer satisfy his ambitions. Taiyuan, which was rich in the east, became his next target.
If it is said that the elite of a county away from the West River of Shi Nai, it is too principled to gather the Yuxiu of the entire state. Quietly mobilize heavy troops to wait for the Han army to move. When the news came that Luoyang had taken Zhang Yi as the general of the Huns, Ji Louyuan subconsciously flashed "There is a chance" in his mind. Zhang Yi, a scholar, has no talents, and sent him to lead the army to give himself a chance.
If the Han Court takes Zang Min as the handsome, even if it is Dong Zhuo, Ji Louyuan will be jealous. Zhang Yi, put away the news, and laughed. Send scouts to closely monitor the movements of the Han army in the three places, and be ready to respond to the movements of the Han army at any time.
Zhang Yi led the army, out of the Zi clan, and penetrated into the middle foot of the Luliang Mountains in one day. Ji Louyuan did not hesitate much in the inquiry, and led the army to the south and stationed in the vicinity of Zhongyang County. "How is the movement of the three-way Han army?" Set up camp and raise the account of Lou Yuan to the army.
Helan Dangfu's face was serious, and the crowd of the Han army of the three routes also made him feel great pressure, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yi's army set out from the Zi clan has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Luliang, and the Taiyuan army of Zang Min in the east and Dong Zhuo's Hedong army in the south have also been dispatched together, but the two armies are more cautious and heavily guarded. ”
With his fingers tapping on the handsome case, Ji Lou Yuan suddenly raised his head and ordered: "Dangfu, you are familiar with the south, and with you 5,000 people, I will block Dong Zhuo's army in the south of Tongtian Mountain; Wan Qianjin, you take two thousand horsemen to contain the Zang Min army in the northeast in the mountains!" Turning his head to look at the only Han general in the tent: "Wang De, you go with Wan Qijian!" Several people hurriedly clenched their fists to receive their lives.
"The rest of the soldiers are personally commanded by Ben Shan Yu, since the 'Breaking the Hun Zhonglang General' is so eager to make meritorious contributions, we will meet him and surprise him!" Ji Lou Yuan said lightly, with an indescribable coldness in his tone. The tent will eventually make a promise!
In the middle of the foothills of Luliang Mountain, on a small road, hundreds of Hun cavalry were bumping and galloping, chasing hundreds of Han army foot soldiers behind. It's just that the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the speed can't be increased, but it is not as good as the Han army on foot. From time to time, knights fell off their horses and were beheaded by the pursuing Han army.
With a "snort", the sharp arrow broke the body, and a Hun cavalry saw a blood-stained arrow on his chest, and he did not dare to fall. Seeing that his warriors had fallen again, he looked back at the Han army that was slowly getting closer and closer, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he immediately ordered a counterattack. Turning the horse's head and rushing towards the pursuing Han army, the two sides were quickly entangled, slashing and stabbing with swords, and cutting into the flesh.
The screams of the soldiers on both sides were particularly clear in the quiet mountain road, startling a burst of wild birds flying wildly. The ruthless Huns were strong in battle, and the Han army that pursued them were all elite soldiers under Zhang Yi, and they were also defeated by more than 100 Huns.
However, the Huns had few people and insufficient rear strength, and in less than a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, under the consumption of the Han army, only more than ten people were compressed in a pass. The two sides fought fiercely for a short time, but the battlefield was extremely cruel, blood was splashed indiscriminately, and the thick stones and mountain walls next to it were full of sword marks.
The remaining Huns, even if they were surrounded, had no intention of surrendering, and under the leadership of the centurion, they stared viciously at the surrounding Han soldiers, clenching their weapons with both hands, just waiting for the battle to continue. "Kill!" Looking at the stubborn Hun Hu clan, the Han army marquis ordered coldly. There were a lot of Han soldiers and soldiers around, and these Huns barbarians let themselves lose so many sons, it's damned.
There was no nonsense, the centurion swung his knife and slashed at the nearest Han pawn, the sword and sword, and after a fight, only four or five Huns were left standing. The Han military marquis was about to kill them, and hundreds of Hun cavalry suddenly rushed out from the side, rushing towards the Han army.
Seeing this, the military marquis roared fiercely: "Solve these first!" The Hun knights who came to the aid were the guards of Ji Lou Yuan, and on the difficult mountain road, dozens of steps apart, dozens of arrows fell, shooting several Han soldiers.
Hundreds of knights rushed in, slashed and slashed, dispersed the tired Han soldiers, and rescued the remaining few Hun soldiers under their watchful eyes. Looking at the Hun cavalry in the distance, a puff of dust was blown, and the military marquis spit out the dust in his mouth, and said hatefully: "Damn!"
"How's that!" Thousands of Han soldiers chased after him, and the leader Sima asked the military marquis. The marquis of the Han army forcibly suppressed the unwillingness in his heart and explained the situation again.
Sima touched his mustache and said to the scouts beside him: "Go back and report to Zhang Yuanjun, the Hun sentry cavalry has been defeated by our department, our army has annihilated two hundred Hun cavalry, and captured dozens of war horses!" Looking at the mess in front of him, Sima ordered the soldiers to pack up the war horses left by the Huns, and returned with the army to find a large army.
