The fifty-third round of the Yan-Hun War (5) The Yan army counterattacked

Here, after Ji Jiao conquered a Xiongnu camp, he gathered several Liaodong soldiers and horses and the Yan army that was killed and scattered, with a total of more than 50,000 people, and this group of men and horses took advantage of the night to quietly advance in the direction of the Xiongnu camp.

Qiang Lei, who stayed in the Xiongnu camp, also knew in his heart that it was not easy to completely win this battle, although it was late at night, he never had the intention of resting, and constantly sent scouts to inquire about the war and intelligence.

Suddenly, a bloody soldier rode into the camp on a war horse that was almost exhausted, and the soldier just jumped off the horse and fell to the ground.

"Senator, the 20,000 horses sent out to intercept the Yan army met the reinforcements of the Yan State, General Cheng Ke was injured and did not know where to go, and the remaining 20,000 brothers all died on the battlefield"

The soldier fainted after intermittently speaking, and Qiang Lei ordered someone to help him to the backyard to heal his wounds.

"Senator, the soldiers and horses led by the king were originally defeated by the defenders of Yanshan, but now they are intercepted by Guo Yue's cavalry, and the outcome of the battle between the two sides is unknown."

"Senator, the Yanshan guard really planned to transfer most of the men, and now Beiqu Shuai has conquered Yancheng, and soon Yanshan will be obtained by our army."

At this time, there were two cavalry scouts from different directions to report into the camp, Qiang Lei listened to what the two said and secretly thought: "I didn't expect Yan Guo's reaction to be so fast, so many soldiers and horses sent out were either killed or intercepted, now only the humble situation of attacking Yanshan is still superior, and Yanshan is the barrier of the northern border of Yan State, if Yanshan is conquered, it will finally crush the defense line of Yan Guo's soldiers, it is better to concentrate all the soldiers and horses to attack Yanshan."

After thinking about it, Qiang Lei immediately decided to burn the camp tent and personally led the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses to kill Benyan Mountain, Ji Jiao led the army to attack, but found that what was in front of them was just a camp burned into ruins.

Ji Jiao rode his horse forward, looked at the marks of horses' hooves on the ground, and continued to lead the army in pursuit of the north.

When the soldiers and horses advanced to a place more than 100 miles away from Yanshan, Ji Jiao saw the Hun infantry walking at the back at a glance, holding down the spear and taking the bow to shoot five or six people in a row.

Qiang Lei heard shouts at the back of his army, so he led a group of pro-troops to check it out.

Qiang Lei found the person in front of him not far away, seven feet long, half a foot long, a fish scale armor, and a tiger head gun in his hand, it was Ji Jiao, it turned out that Qiang Lei had followed Zuo Keyao to invade Yan Country a few years ago, when Ji Jiao served as a general in Yanshan as a general in the Yan royal family, Zuo Keyao did not listen to Qiang Lei's strategy, and the lone army went deep and led to a big defeat.

Although so many years have passed, Qiang Lei can never forget the scene when Ji Jiao slaughtered 80,000 Hun soldiers.

Qiang Lei was furious and ordered the cavalry to turn back and rush over, and the thousands of foot soldiers behind Ji Jiao had also set up a formation, facing the powerful shield phalanx, the Hun cavalry was picked off by Changge one after another.

With Ji Jiao's order, thousands of Liaodong cavalry rushed out of the separated shield array, Qiang Lei was furious and ordered the archers to fire a volley, and Ji Jiao also ordered the archers to release arrows to cover the cavalry to charge.

Ji Jiao also led all the Liaodong cavalry to kill, and the Hun archers fled backwards when they saw it, and most of them died under the hooves and spears of the horses.

"Charge me, kill all these swallows," Qiang Lei began to roar heartbreakingly.

More than 10,000 Hun infantry cavalry all fought back, and the Yan soldiers stuck together, although Qiang Lei was a civil official, but in the face of great hatred, he also pulled out his sword, and rushed forward under the protection of several generals.

All the generals on both sides burst out of their long-suppressed anger at this time, and the thousands of Liaodong infantry soldiers who were deployed in the formation were all killed, and the two armies were mixed together in the narrow woods.

At this moment, a burst of gold thought about it, a group of men and horses flashed out of the thorn oblique, and a general headed by a general holding a big knife was Zhang Ke, it turned out that Zhang Ke saw that the Hun army under the mountain had withdrawn and left 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the mountain, and he led 20,000 soldiers and horses down the mountain to chase and kill the nearby Huns, and came here after the three camps in Lianke, but he didn't expect to encounter the melee between the two armies.

Zhang Ke saw Qiang Lei from a distance, brandishing a big knife and rushing over, and several Hun horsemen beside Qiang Lei rushed up to surround Zhang Ke when they saw this.

Zhang Ke rushed left and right, but he couldn't kill it, and Qiang Lei also knew that his current situation was very dangerous, so he left more than 1,000 people and withdrew to the north with all his soldiers and horses.

Ji Jiao and Zhang Ke killed all the more than 1,000 Huns who left behind the palace, and found that Qiang Lei and the remaining Huns had long since disappeared, so they led the army together to rush to the direction of Yanshan.

Here Guo Yue led more than 10,000 cavalry to gallop to the foot of Yanshan, and the scout Pegasus sent out by Guo Yue came to report: "General, Yancheng on the west hill has been lost, and the barbarians are cleaning up the battlefield, and now Han Wenzheng is leading the remnants to defend the Yanshan camp in the east."

Guo Yue heard this, looked up at Yanshan, and found that there were a lot of boulders and rubble, and he couldn't ride a horse at all, so Guo Yue ordered all the cavalry to dismount and walk up the mountain, leaving only 500 soldiers to take care of the horses.

Guo Yue took the soldiers to quietly kill the twenty Hun soldiers stationed in the middle of the mountainside, and when Guo Yue arrived near Yancheng, Guo Yue found that the gate of Yancheng was wide open, and about fifty or sixty people stood guard at the city gate, and there were many Yan soldiers and Hun soldiers in the city and the corpses of the Huns were not cleaned up.

Seeing this scene, Guo Yue ordered 2,000 archers to hide from the rocks on all sides of Yancheng, and ordered 3,000 soldiers armed with guns and shields to lie in ambush on the only road out of Yancheng, also relying on the huge rocks on the mountain to hide.

Guo Yue also arranged a large number of soldiers in all directions of Yancheng, and he led 500 people to attack Yancheng.

Some Hun soldiers at the city gate were shot to the ground by crossbows as soon as they found someone raiding, and several Hun soldiers in the city were also shot down by arrows.

"Hmph, just such a few people, these Yan people are really crazy, everyone will attack with me" Hun general Yisheng said disdainfully when he saw the scene in front of him.

"General, this Guo Yue is brave and strategic, our army is afraid of his treacherous schemes, and Qu Shuai ordered us not to leave the city no matter what" Another Xiongnu general heard it but hurriedly stopped it.

"Harsh government, why do you want to grow the morale of others to destroy your own prestige, they are obviously about to be wiped out by us, you don't have to be so afraid, so I will give you 800 people to help you defend the city" Yisheng finished speaking, and led the troops out of the city before the harsh government recovered.

The harsh government had no choice but to close the city gate and arrange troops to defend the city on all sides.

Here, Yisheng led the troops out of the city to kill, and a burst of random arrows shot down more than 20 people, and the harsh government in the city also deployed more than 100 archers to shoot the Yan soldiers condescendingly.

"Withdraw"

Guo Yue shouted and ordered the soldiers to return the same way, and all of the Yan army's crossbowmen withdrew after a burst of random arrows, and Yisheng was willing to lead the army to chase after him.

After chasing to the chaotic stone hill in front, the archers of the Yan army who were suddenly ambushed on both sides shot arrows at the Hun army's position, and thousands of Yan army spears and shields rushed out in front.

At this time, the Yan army, which was ambushed near Yancheng, began to move slowly, ready to attack. To know how Guo Yue led his army to capture Yancheng, please see the next breakdown.
