Chapter 57: Clean the side of the couch first
At the beginning of the morning, to the west of Meiji, the Xiongnu Zhonglang General was stationed, and Ji Louyuan personally led the guards and troops on a high slope a few miles away, looking coldly at the situation of the Han army camp. Five thousand soldiers stared at the unprepared Han army in the distance.
The thousands of elite Han soldiers in the Han camp have always kept Ji Lou Yuan in his throat, and someone on the side of the couch is sleeping soundly, making his bedroom uneasy, and he has always had the intention of pulling out the nail placed by the Han court on the side of the Xiongnu. It's just that he didn't want to turn his face with Han before, Ji Louyuan held back, and now that he is pointing at the state, the first thing Ji Louyuan did was to solve the biggest threat around Meiji.
The four generals of Fugu Huaijing and Helan Dangfu followed closely behind, quietly waiting for Ji Louyuan's order. "Attack!" There was no nonsense, and a cold order came from Ji Lou Yuan's mouth. With the sound of rolling hooves, thousands of pro-troops attacked the Han camp under the command of four generals.
There was no roar of the charge, no passionate shouts, thousands of cavalry just stared at the target, closed their mouths, held knives and bows, and killed towards Hanzhai. The sound of horses' hooves is terrifying, but it is matched by a stiff and indifferent face, a very incongruous picture, with a terrifying momentum.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed the quiet Han army camp, and the sentry guards on the walled tower saw the Hun cavalry rushing to kill, and blew the horn in panic to alert the camp to the enemy. After a rain of arrows, drowning out the hysterical shouting of warnings, the Hun cavalry galloped like a raging wind.
It is worthy of being the elite of the Han army, and the response is really fast, and soon after receiving the warning, some soldiers came out of the tent one after another, put on armor and drew swords, and stood guard under the commanders of their respective Sima and military marquis. Although it is in a hurry and panic, between the movements, it shows the essence of the elite.
But the Huns didn't give them much time, and more Han soldiers had just reacted, and the four generals of Fugu Huaijing had already led the army into the village and rushed towards the gathered Han soldiers. The 5,000 guards built by Ji Lou Yuan were not something that the Han army could resist in a hurry, and the violent impact quickly dispersed the Han soldiers who wanted to resist.
Thousands of guards wielded their sharp swords indifferently, crushing towards the Han army that was blocking, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Han army. Ji Louyuan pulled out the standing guards, and they were unprepared to attack, and the Han soldiers could not stop them, and soon the Han camp fell into chaos.
Since Zhang Xiu was imprisoned in Luoyang, for some reason, the imperial court has not sent a new envoy to take office. The thousands of elite Han troops in Hetao seemed to have been abandoned, and the dragons had no leader, reduced to lonely ghosts. In the course of a year, the four lieutenants formed a gang, and the infighting continued, and the upper and lower centrifuges were separated.
Now in the face of the Hun cavalry, the resistance is very weak. When several lieutenants reacted, the situation was almost collapsed, and they saw thousands of Hun cavalry looting the Han camp, and the Han army broke and fled, and was ruthlessly slaughtered by the Huns. I can't care about the internal friction, I want to gather the soldiers and try my best to resist, but it's a pity that it's just in vain, and the situation is so far, I can't return to the sky.
The two Han military captains who tried their best to shout and cheer in vain to arouse morale and resisted very fiercely were targeted by Fugu Huaijing and Wan Qijian. The two generals jumped forward, their swords fell, the battle array was chaotic, and the two captains were killed without much resistance.
The Han army was scattered like cattle and sheep, and the remaining two captains were terrified, and more than 1,000 Han troops retreated to the fortress in the wall. The rest of the Han army was quickly annihilated by the Xiongnu, either killed, surrendered, or captured. Seeing the low fortress in front of him, Ji Lou Yuan led the army to surround it, and more than a thousand Han troops immediately became trapped beasts.
Trying to send an army to attack once, losing hundreds of warriors, Ji Louyuan suppressed his desire to attack. This fortress was built by Zhang Huan, and now it is just for the remaining Han army to survive. The two Han military captains on the fort couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that they had repelled the attack of the Huns, and finally had time to relax. In the face of the stormy attack of the Huns, in less than half an hour, only such a remnant of the defeated army was left to retreat.
When did the combat effectiveness of the Huns become so terrifying, the two captains were a little surprised, a little frightened, and their eyes were full of worry. "It's the Xiongnu Shan Yu, it seems that the Southern Xiongnu are going to go against my Han, and the state is going to be chaotic!" The captain surnamed Li looked at Ji Lou Yuan Shan Yu Daxu and said in a deep voice, the heroic young Shan Yu at the bottom, even if he looked at it from a distance, it was extremely dazzling.
"Listen to the Han army on the fort, Da Dan Yu is merciful, give you a chance, wait for a quarter of an hour to surrender, otherwise when my army breaks the fort, there will be no chickens and dogs!" Fugu Huaijing personally stepped forward and shouted. The words were full of murder. After saying that, he didn't talk any more nonsense, and returned to the formation.
Ji Lou Yuan turned his neck twice, and looked at the low fort in front of him coldly, if he didn't care about the casualties, and he was afraid that the Han army was still fighting, he would have ordered to rush and kill, and he would be able to break into the door in three or two clicks. looked at the fort lightly, wanting to see what choice the Han army made.
Being watched murderously by thousands of guards, the fierce momentum rushed to the face, bringing great pressure to the Han army on the fort, and the cold voice of the servant Gu Huai echoed in his mind, and the soldiers of the Han army couldn't help but hesitate and looked at the two captains in charge.
"Brother Li, the Huns are powerful, and they suddenly attacked, we are short of soldiers and food, I am afraid that we will not be able to resist, and there are no reinforcements. In order to save the lives of the soldiers, Mo Ruo surrendered. The lieutenant beside him said with some fear.
"Wang De! Do you want to be the one who betrays the enemy? The lieutenant surnamed Li turned his head and stared at Wang De coldly, seeing that he couldn't help but shrink his neck. Regardless of Wang De, Captain Li immediately raised his bow and arrow, and shouted to the Huns outside the fort: "The Huns are barbarians, and they also want to surrender without a fight. "Zhen Zhen has words, but he talks about it, but he is a loyal martyr.
Lieutenant Li was about to motivate his soldiers, when suddenly, a long knife pierced his chest, and the tip of the knife broke out of his chest, stained with blood. Wang De's faint voice came from his ears: "Brother Li, you want to die, and you want to live a few more days, I'm sorry!" He then lost consciousness and slowly fell to the ground and died.
"Do you want to die? Out of the fort and surrender! Wang De saw the Han soldiers around him who did not react, and said. He is a poor boy, and he finally got into this position, but he doesn't want to die here in vain, and the ants still spare their lives, let alone people?
Ji Louyuan heard the words of the captain surnamed Li outside, and a dark cloud flashed in his eyes, and he was about to give the order to attack. The castle suddenly changed, and the raised hand was put down. After a while, the gate of the fort was opened, and the Han army came out in despair and laid down their arms.
Looking at Wang De, who was kneeling in front of the horse, a smile appeared at the corner of Ji Louyuan's mouth, and he said lightly: "You, very good!" ”
......
In July of the third year of Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty, Ji Louyuan began his first invasion of the Han Dynasty since he succeeded to the throne. After a year, the Xiongnu raised the sword again, the spearhead until the Han Dynasty merged with the state, and the northern border of the Han Dynasty fell into turmoil again, and this time the state and the state will face the Xiongnu soldiers.
Ji Louyuan used Zhang Xiu's plot to rebel against the Huns, killed the guilty Han of "Shan Yu Hu Zheng", held high the banner of "avenging his father", raised 30,000 cavalry troops, and rebelled and annexed the state, wanting to find the Han court to ask for an explanation.
In fact, people with a little insight know that the so-called banner of revenge for their father and seeking explanations is just an excuse, and its purpose is only to invade the Han Dynasty. The death of Hu Zheng and the chaos of the Xiongnu were the biggest beneficiary of Ji Lou Yuan, and almost all the upper echelons of the Xiongnu knew the disharmony between Hu Zheng and Ji Lou Yuan.
What's more, Hu Zheng reigned for a year, and he did not show favor to the Xiongnu tribes, and the incentive effect of "revenge" on the soldiers at the bottom was not as good as Ji Louyuan's personal conquest. Smart people know what they know, and what Ji Lou Yuan wants is just "a famous teacher". Throwing the pot to Zhang Xiu may reduce Hermes-Epitek's resistance?
Ji Louyuan's attack on the Han Dynasty this time took advantage of this to transfer internal contradictions and alleviate the internal pressure caused by his great leap reform; the two, plundering population, food, craftsmen, and talents, and expanding their strength; The three also test the shallow and deep water of the Han today.
