Chapter 170: The decisive battle is about to begin
Syllable-!
The wine bottle fell off from Meng Tian's hand and shattered......
"Fuping, is it really broken?"
The scout, who knelt in the hall, replied, "General Qiyu, it is true. Five days ago, the Huns dug tunnels, causing the collapse of three walls of Fuping. Although the men and horses in the city resisted hard, but the Huns had a large number of soldiers and horses, and finally they could only break through and leave. Liu Kan, the marquis of the old battalion, led the men and horses of the headquarters to break through from the south of the city. The two sons led their troops to break through from the east of the city, and there was no news after that.
Fuping Army Hou Nan Rongxiu died in battle......
More than 6,000 people in the city were killed. Now, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Ali has prepared troops and horses, broke into the north, and marched towards Yiqu. ”
His heart was empty, Meng Tian sat in the hall, and after a long time, he squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Explore again!" ”
The scout exited the lobby, but Meng Tian was still sitting in the distance. Strategically speaking, the destruction of Fuping City also means that his strategy is half completed.
Next, it's up to Zhaoping to act.
If Zhaoping's actions were swift enough, Meng Tian's deployment would be a complete success. Regarding Zhaoping's ability, Meng Tian did not have any doubts. However, seeing that the great victory was coming, Meng Tian did not have the slightest happiness in his heart. On the contrary, he felt very heavy.
Fuping is broken!
Thousands of lives, after nearly 30 days of hard struggle, were finally not saved.
Actually, they didn't have to die in the first place. If Meng Tian and Zhaoping could cooperate and give Fuping a little, even just a little support, the people of Fuping would not die. This war against the Xiongnu was considered a victory. Meng Tian didn't feel open
Because this victory was built on the lives of thousands of people......
How can you fight a war without dying? Meng Tian is also experienced in a hundred battles, and he has seen countless dead people. But there is no time when there will be such confusion and distress today. He seemed to understand why Wang Jian would think carefully before making every decision when he was the coach. Is it cautious by nature? I'm afraid it's not just that...... Wang Jian knows better than Meng Tian the price to be paid after every decision.
Perhaps, I will not die a good death in the future!
Meng Tian sighed lightly. Close your eyes and sit still.
Fusu turned around from the inner hall.
sat down on the side, looked at Meng Tian, and seemed to understand his mood at the moment, so he didn't say a word.
"Eldest son, do you know everything?"
Fusu nodded, took a deep breath and said, "Pinghou sent someone to send a letter six hundred miles to expedite the message, saying that Ali's soldiers and horses have passed through Zhaowang City. Rush in the direction of Jitou Mountain. Pinghou has made arrangements to attack the Xiongnu in Jitou Mountain two days later, please prepare on the general's side. ”
The Zhaowang City mentioned by Fusu is also known as the Great Wall in later generations.
It is the Great Wall built during the reign of King Qin Zhao, from Yunzhong County to Longxi. In the era of King Qin Zhao, Great Qin also had to face all kinds of calamities.
So the Great Wall was built. to defend against the Hu attack.
If Ali takes Jitou Mountain, he can follow the line of Jingshui and approach Neishi County. In other words, this Jitou Mountain is the last line of defense in the northern part of Neishi County. Zhaoping's preparation to meet the enemy at Jitou Mountain was also a strategic deployment drawn up by Meng Tian later.
and informed the Xianyang Taiwei Mansion and won the support of the First Emperor.
Meng Tian nodded, "Ali's attack on Jitou Mountain is exactly what I expected. There is no need to pay attention to this battle anymore, in order to calm the situation. It's not a problem to deal with a mere Alidang. I just got the battle report. The Touman army has moved in the direction of Meridian Ridge, and it is expected that in ten days, they will attack. I'm still showing weakness to Touman, waiting for him to take the bait. ”
When it came to military affairs, Meng Tian's mood seemed to have improved a lot.
He pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the hall. Fusu followed behind Meng Tian, and the two came to the patio and saw them on the ground of the patio. A huge topographic map was laid out and piled up. This is also the oldest sand table in the Warring States period. It was built according to the topography of the Meridian Ridge. Meng Tian walked to a model of a city pass and stopped, lowered his head and quietly observed the sand table under his feet.
"This time. Touman is far away from fighting in the court, obviously to succeed in the battle! Fusu didn't respond, and lowered his head to check quietly.
"My lord, I will fight Touman between Meridian Ridge and Hengshan. It is not difficult to defeat him, the difficult thing is how to completely annihilate him. I have an idea that someone needs to bypass Hengshan, climb over the Meridian Ridge, and then attack from behind Zhaowang City...... This army of soldiers and horses is all composed of cavalry. I want to ask the eldest prince to lead this group of men and horses to attack, but I don't know if the eldest prince is willing? ”
How could Fusu not be willing?
The First Emperor sent him here so that he could earn military merits.
He carefully observed the terrain between Wuling and Hengshan for a while, and if he followed Meng Tian's strategy, this time it would be a complete victory.
And the soldiers and horses that attack from the back will be meritorious.
The biggest problem in this operation is how to get around Yokoyama unnoticed. However, since Meng Tian proposed a strategy, he must have thought of a solution. So Fusu doesn't need to worry about it. All he had to do was to bring the soldiers and horses over, and then attack on time and cooperate with Meng Tian to deal with Touman head-on...... After a moment of silence, Fusu nodded in agreement.
Meng Tian immediately found a guide and told Fusu about all the things that needed ideas.
The next day, Fusu led his troops out.
Meng Tian stood at the head of the city, watching Fusu leave. But there is another thing in my mind: Liu Kan, how are they now? After Liu Kan led his troops to break out of the siege from the south of the city, he counted the men and horses, and now the Qin army that he killed with him was less than eight hundred.
The Huns soon pursued.
Although Qiu Fuyou refused to confront Liu Kan head-on, he was very willing to pretend to be pretending.
He led thousands of soldiers and horses, and bit tightly behind Liu Kan and others. Liu Kan is fast, and they are also fast. Liu Kan slowed down, and they also slowed down.
This guy is very scheming, and is ready to play a game of cat and mouse, dragging down Liu Kan and the others alive, and then annihilating them in one fell swoop.
"Marquis, it's not a problem to run away like this!"
Li Cheng couldn't help but say: "If we escape like this, we must be dragged down...... The Huns pursued like this, obviously trying to exhaust our strength. They all ride in two people and carry dry food with them. And we came out in a hurry. Didn't carry anything.
If we continue like this, we won't wait until dawn, and we'll have to wait for death. ”
Chen Daozi also nodded again and again, "Yes, this road to the south, one horse and one flat river, is the most suitable for the Huns to ride and fight." In my opinion, it is better for us to turn northeast and try to enter the Meridian Ridge Mountains. Just go into the mountains. The advantage of these Huns in cavalry warfare will also disappear completely.
In the mountains, it is not yet known who killed whom. ”
In fact, Liu Kan also has such a plan.
Earlier, when he was talking to Munch, he thought of retreating in the direction of Meridian Ridge. It's just that the breakthrough was so hasty that I couldn't discern the direction. Now I hear Chen Daozi and Li Chengdu say this. He also knew he couldn't hesitate any longer. At that moment, the order was issued, with Guan Ying and Ren Ao as the vanguard, and Li Cheng led the Chinese army to retreat in the direction of Ziwuling. He, Chen Daozi, and Lu Shizhi led their troops to block the enemy in the back.
The military flag of the old camp has fallen on Lu Shizhi's body.
He carried the banner and rode a horse to follow Liu Kan. The three of them led a hundred cavalry troops and slowly retreated behind the flanks. Qiu Fuyou seemed to recognize Liu Kan, and he didn't dare to go too far ahead, but just followed slowly, waiting for the time to come. Then do a lethal attack.
When the soldiers and horses bypassed the banks of the mountains and rivers. From behind the hill by the river, a troop of men and horses suddenly appeared and rushed straight towards Qiu Fuyou.
The number of people is not too much, about six or seven hundred.
As a member of the general, he led a hundred cavalry troops to attack the Chinese army of Qiufuyou.
The two infantry generals each led a hundred men to be pinned down after the cavalry, and another three hundred archers scattered wildly towards the Huns.
Although it was already dark, Liu Kan still recognized the origin of this army at a glance......
Sickness!
It's actually Brother Meng's disease......
There are also Fan Xu and Tu Tu!
Liu Kan couldn't help but feel overjoyed. See the Huns in disarray. When the next time I urged the red rabbit horse, the red flag was dragged to the ground. The red rabbit Ma Xi Yu ran wildly. The man lay on the horse's back, his feet in the stirrups, the horse was like a dragon, the man was like a tiger, like a flame, and rushed over against the ground.
Chen Daozi and Lu Shizhi followed, and a hundred cavalry troops charged.
The degree of the red rabbit horse was as fast as lightning, and it was in front of the Huns' army in the blink of an eye.
The red flag flipped like a flame tumbling. Everywhere Liu Kan went, he saw flesh and blood splashing, and stumps and broken arms were scattered all over the ground. A mournful wail echoed through the air. Qiu Fuyou was commanding the soldiers and horses to resist Meng Ji and the others, but he didn't want Liu Kan to attack at this time.
By the time he reacted, Liu Kan had already arrived in front of him.
"Ahh
Qiu Fuyou couldn't help but exclaim, raised his spear and was about to counterattack, but Liu Kan had already arrived in front of him. The red flag was raised high, and a move was raised to the sky. Liu Kanyun gathered the strength of his whole body and suddenly stood up on the horse. The red flag fell, and a sharp wind hung it, slashing towards Qiu Fuyou. Naqiu Fuyou raised his spear to block, but when he heard the sound of the bell, the sharp red flag struck the spear in two parts, and fell down with a huge inertia, and with a snort, blood splattered...... Poor Qiu Fuyou was split in half by Liu Kan with one move.
At this time, Li Cheng commanded the Chinese army to turn back and cover up for a while.
Guan Ying and Ren Ao attacked from the other side like two tigers, killing the Huns to the point of bleeding and fleeing in embarrassment.
"Hu Man will catch up soon, and we will go first...... After entering the mountain, let's think of other ways. ”
Meng Ke was very sober and reminded Liu Kan loudly.
Liu Kan also knows that now is not the time to speak. So he nodded with everyone, converged, and rushed in the direction of Meridian Ridge.
This time, the march was much faster.
But thanks to the fact that Chufuyu sent so many horses, many people no longer have to rely on their legs to move forward. Although it is not possible to have one horse per person, it is more than enough to ride two horses. Before the arrival of the son, Liu Kan and others escaped into the Meridian Ridge......
After Ali learned the news of Qiu Fuyou's killing, when he waved his troops to chase after him, Liu Kan and others had already led their soldiers and horses to flee without a trace.
