Chapter 175: The Decisive Battle in Henan (End)
10,000 arrows!
Tens of thousands of blue wolf arrows were scattered at the same time, and the sky above the battlefield echoed with the piercing and sharp roar unique to the blue wolf arrows, like the roar of ten thousand wolves.
War Horse Xi Yu hissed, as if frightened by the sound of arrows.
Dulong Qi**'s war horse legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a pop. A stone bullet flew whizzing, and Peng smashed into Dulongqi's face. More than a dozen pounds of stone bullets, under the shot of the stone thrower, have great power. Dulongqi's face was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and he fell to the ground with a scream. Dozens of blue wolf arrows immediately fell, instantly shooting Dulong Qi like a hedgehog.
"General Zuo is dead!"
When Touman heard the bad news, his mind went blank.
"Big order, look...... The Right Virtuous King rushed in! ”
One of his attendants pointed to the battlefield and shouted loudly. Touman shook his head vigorously and stared into the distance. I saw that Yi Yasi led more than 1,000 Hun soldiers to break through the Qin army's defense from the flank, and after crossing the fence formed by chariots, he broke into the Qin army's main array.
"Attack with all your troops!"
The mood of sudden sadness and joy has made Touman lose his former calmness.
He couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted loudly. But it didn't show up, when Yi Yasi rushed into the Qin army's big array, but after all, the number was too small. After breaking through the enemy line, he immediately fell into a heavy siege. Rulin's spear and sword halberd quickly killed these people.
Iyath was even more miserable, having one of her arms chopped off and lying in a pool of blood, already incapacitated to fight.
Touman didn't even show up, and the moment he commanded the army to attack, there was a strange tremor on the ground. From the rear of the Hun army, there was a faint sound of thunder. Some shrewd Huns turned their heads to look back, but this look was so frightened that their souls were scattered.
"Qin Manzi's cavalry. It's the Qin Barbarian Cavalry! ”
It was noon and the sun was shining.
I saw a black torrent appear behind the mountain, like an arrow from the string, and quickly approached. Rough calculations. There were about 30,000 or 40,000 people. All black-armored knights, after approaching, ten thousand arrows. The whistling sound of the wolf's arrows echoes the neighing of people and horses. Tou Mandi's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but shout: "Qin Manzi is cunning. We've got ......."
Before the words fell, his throat suddenly became sweet.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Touman fell off his horse.
When the princes and leaders saw it, they also panicked......
"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops!"
At this time, the Xiongnu army had just started to attack, and when it encountered this sudden attack, the army was immediately in turmoil. Some want to rush forward, some want to run backwards. It was a mess in an open field. And the ballistas and stone throwers of the Qin army. This is where it comes into play.
Ten thousand arrows. Gravel rains.
Only the corpses of the Huns were killed all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river. Tou Man woke up slowly, knowing that the general trend was gone. couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops immediately!" ”
When the cavalry led by Fusu appeared, Meng Tian already knew that the battle was over. He had been observing the movements of the Huns, nodded slightly, clenched his hands into fists, and waved them vigorously. Four words were squeezed out between the teeth: "Whole army." Sortie! ”
Knock-Knock
Thousands of trumpets sounded at the same time, and countless war drums were beaten. Shocking the heavens.
It was really a shaking of the earth, and the faint of heart would be frightened by the sound of drums and trumpets. The soldiers of the Qin army, however, were full of blood, and their hearts seemed to jump out of their cavities, and they couldn't help but shout loudly, and the weapons and weapons exchanged blows, and the murderous spirit was soaring.
In an instant, the phalanx turned into an offensive queue.
Under the guidance of thousands of chariots, 100,000 foot soldiers pressed against the Huns like a black mountain on the open ground three or four miles wide.
Fanatical, brave......
The Qin army, which had been holding back for a whole afternoon, shouted in unison, like a tiger heading out of the gate.
The sound of war drums, shouts of killing, earth-shattering.
Fusu had already dispersed the rear army of the Huns. The generals under Touman's command frantically led the cavalry to rush and kill again and again, trying to leave a breakthrough for Touman's brigade. In the sound of gold and iron slashing all around, under the attack of arrows and flying stones, the retreating Hun cavalry formation had completely lost control and was in chaos on the battlefield. Even though the leaders of the various subordinates desperately converged, they were no longer able to organize effective resistance. The army of more than 200,000 people, like a flock of scattered sheep, retreated in a panic.
Meng Tian commanded his troops and horses to attack from three sides.
The watchtower car slowly advanced, constantly changing the flag. The Fusu cavalry, automatically divided into two divisions, attacked from both sides.
Chariots, foot soldiers shouted, like a tide of cover. With their mighty troops, they shot like hunters at the flock of sheep squeezing in front of them. A vicious battle, which lasted from noon until sunset, the two armies were entangled in the blood-stained open ground, and the sky was dark.
Under the cover of countless Huns, Touman finally fought his way out of a bloody road that only lasted three or four hundred steps.
However, the 250,000-strong army escaped only 30,000 horsemen after this battle. After retreating for more than sixty miles, the Qin army stopped attacking after midnight.
Under the moonlight, the ownerless war horse neighed.
Instead of a low groan on the battlefield, the Qin army, under the leadership of the generals of various departments, began to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded.
Meng Tian and Fusu stood on the watchtower car, looking at the battlefield where the corpses were piled up in front of them, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After this battle, the Huns have lost the strength to fight again.
It can be said that the goal of the First Emperor has been halfway there. The next step is to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and make persistent efforts.
"General, when will the second wave of attacks be launched?"
Meng Tian smiled, "Touman's defeat will inevitably lead to a retreat to Quyan." After resting for three days, I plan to attack Qu Yan and completely defeat Hu Manzi. ”
For the matter of the battle array, Fusu is not very proficient.
And before leaving Xianyang, the first emperor had already told him about the war. He must obey Meng Tian's assignment and must not interfere in military affairs without authorization. In other words, although Fusu is the eldest son of the First Emperor, he is here. He was just an ordinary officer.
No matter what Meng Tian thinks, Fusu remembers his identity.
He said softly: "This is very good, and my father will be very happy to be able to end the battle of Henan before this autumn." This battle is also thanks to the general's strategy, otherwise how could he have won so quickly? Hehe. At first, I thought it would take some time. ”
Meng Tian sighed, "It's not me who is strategizing, it's really the soldiers who use their lives." To be honest, if it weren't for the things that the old man did in Fuping, which forced me to change the established strategy, I'm afraid that we would still be in a stalemate with the Huns.
It's a pity. Those good men in Fuping. ”
Fusu does not have an interface. Because he didn't know how to comfort Meng Tian. He knows it well. Although he won, Meng Tian is afraid that he will not be happy. He's right, this one victory. It was obtained at the cost of the lives of more than 10,000 people in Fuping. Among them, there are people who Meng Tian admires and people who are closest to Meng Tian...... Even when Fusu thinks about it now, he feels a little guilty.
"Mengji, Mengke, no news?"
Meng Tian shook his head, turned around, and stared at the battlefield......
At this moment, a cavalry army rushed from the direction of Zhaowang City. The knight on the horse ran along. While shouting: "Where is the general?" Where is the General? Yiqu 600 miles expedited. Yiqu is 600 miles expedited, and there is urgent military affairs. There are urgent military affairs. ”
Meng Tian was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the pro-army to answer.
"The general is here, come and sign up!"
"I am Sima Li Cheng of the old battalion, I have urgent military affairs, and I want to see the general."
Old camp?
Meng Tian chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly said loudly: "Bring Li Cheng to see me immediately...... The eldest son, the old camp is still there, and the old man is not dead! ”
I can't tell what kind of feeling it is, Meng Tian is very excited at the moment.
He stepped out of the watchtower car quickly, Fusu following closely behind him. When the two got out of the watchtower car, Li Chengdima had already arrived. I saw Li Cheng turn over and roll down from the horse, panting and taking out a pair of white silk from his arms, "Pinghou has six hundred miles of urgency, please take a look at the general." ”
Xu was in such a hurry that Li Cheng couldn't even lift his hand. Meng Tian hurriedly went over and hugged Li Cheng, and took the white silk from his hand, "Marquis Liu...... Are they still alive? ”
"The military marquis is still there, but we are in Quyan, and there is an unusual behavior of the Huns."
A personal soldier had already come over and took over Li Cheng from Meng Tian. Meng Tian unfurled the white silk, and Fu Su came to his side with a torch in his hand.
With the light of the fire, Meng Tian read Zhaoping's urgent letter at a glance.
After a long time, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "If it weren't for the old man, he almost missed a big thing...... Herald, give me orders at once, and all the troops must not rest, go out at once, and pursue Touman. Whoever is the first to catch up with the remnants of Touman, when he enters the first level of Jue, and those who can drag Touman's footsteps for a day will enter the second level of Jue. From now on, all the soldiers and horses will not take off their armor, and the horses will not leave the saddle, give me pursuit, pursuit! ”
Fusu couldn't help but glance at Meng Tian in surprise, "General, what's going on?" ”
Meng Tian took a deep breath and handed the white silk to Fusu, "That old man is now in the Extreme Mountains, and the son of Toumandi is preparing to evacuate Henan, and take all the women and children to Hebei. He wanted to preserve the vitality of the Huns, hoping that he would make a comeback. Lao Zhen has already led his troops to attack Quyan...... Dragged Mao Dun's soldiers and horses, and at the same time closed the door and beat the dogs, blocking Touman to the east of Quyan, trying to completely annihilate Hu Man.
Pinghou had already cavalry, marching towards the Linhe crossing, preparing to cut off the retreat of the Huns.
However, the old man said that he could defeat Qu Yan, but at most he could hold off Hu Manzi for a day. If the remnants of Touman arrived, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand it for even a day. There are only more than 1,000 people left in the old battalion now, and if Mao Dun and Touman are flanked twice, he will definitely be wiped out.
Son, it looks like we can't rest.
I led the cavalry in pursuit overnight, and you led the Chinese army to follow......
There shall be no rest along the way, and anyone who hinders the movement of our army shall be dealt with at your discretion without reporting to me. Li Cheng, go down and rest. ”
Meng Tian explained, and Fusu also finished reading the contents of the white silk.
I couldn't help but laugh. "General, it looks like this old guy is a headache. Your deployment is all changed because of him...... But his news is really important. If Hu Man retreats to Hebei as soon as he arrives, we will attack again. But it's hard. ”
Indeed, after Hebei, it is a thousand miles of grassland.
The Huns were nomadic people, and when they arrived in the steppe, they wanted to attack again. It's not that easy; And the Qin army will have to face the trouble of being alone and going deep at that time. Not to mention that there are still Yueshi and other countries in Hebei, just this grain road is a headache.
Therefore, it is necessary to solve the Xiongnu in Henan, and it can only be solved in Henan.
Fusu suddenly became interested in the old man in Meng Tian's mouth. This old man is really an amazing character. Misty and bright.
The amazing character in Fusu's heart is having a headache at the moment.
At the beginning of the decisive battle of Zhaowang City, Liu Kan confronted Qu Yan. There was also a sneak attack. Lu Shizhi led more than 100 Qin soldiers. Accompanied by Tu Tu, he quietly lurked in the city of Quyan. After dark, Lu Shizhi received a signal from Liu Kandi. The god unknowingly solved the guards at the gate of Qiyan City, and then opened the city gate and let Liu Kan and others enter the city.
More than 1,000 old Qin troops, with the hatred of Fuping's fiasco, entered the city of Quyan.
The Huns who stayed in Quyan never thought that there would be a Qin army that would sneak into the city so unknowingly.
On the one hand, it was a hasty response, but on the other hand, it was well planned.
The two sides clashed. The Huns were immediately defeated. In the dark. They also couldn't figure out exactly how many Qin troops they were facing.
Guan Ying, Ren Ao, Fan Xu, and Liu Kan each led a group of men and horses, and after entering the city. An extremely bloody massacre unfolded.
With the belief of avenging those Fuping people, the Qin army was not afraid of death and was extremely fierce.
Su Le, the general of Shu Yan, drunkenly led his own soldiers out to resist, but was shot by Ren Ao with an arrow. As a result, the Huns fled in embarrassment. Liu Kan and others occupied Quyan almost bloodlessly, but he realized that the situation in this Quyan City was actually quite complicated.
There are more than 10,000 women and children in the city who are ready to be transferred to the riverside ferry.
actually held a camp and resisted the attack of Liu Kan and others. The Huns are a nation of horses. Even women and children can hold knives and guns and draw bows and arrows. Of course, this is not the cause of Liu Kan's headache. If there is a real fight, the women and children in the camp are not the opponents of Liu Kan and others at all. They don't even have all the weapons, and if Liu Kan is ruthless, it will only be a matter of time to take this camp. The problem is that Liu Kan really can't be ruthless.
"Marquis, let's fight!"
Guan Ying smiled bitterly: "That's a group of she-wolves and wolf cubs. But if you have the slightest soft-heartedness, you will inevitably face a catastrophe from which you will never recover. ”
"yes, let's fight!" Meng Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Has the military marquis forgotten, how did the military marquis die in Xiu?" And the people of Fuping...... When the Huns killed us, they didn't see half of their distractions, so why should we care about them? ”
Liu Kan didn't know that if he didn't solve the words of the women and children in this camp, as soon as the Huns counterattacked, he would face the dilemma of internal and external troubles. That's right, when the Huns killed the Central Plains, they never cared about women and children. But let Liu Kan do this, he really can't be ruthless. However, if we don't solve this problem as soon as possible, all the work done will be wasted.
What to do?
Chen Daozi...... No, he should be called Chen Ping, and it suddenly opened at this time
"Junhou, these women, I'm afraid they have collars!"
After some conversation, Chen Ping finally admitted his identity. However, he also asked Liu Kan rhetorically, why do you know his name?
Regarding Chen Ping's question, Liu Kan really didn't know how to answer.
I can't tell him that I am a person who has crossed over from the afterlife, and I know that you Chen Ping are very powerful, so I want to win you over.
Regarding this, Liu Kan could only explain vaguely: "In the dark, there is a mysterious power...... When I was young, I had a good friend, also named Chen Ping, who was very powerful. But then that Chen Ping and I separated, and I have been missing it for many years. Therefore, when your brother told me that your name is also Chen Ping, I was deeply cordial. And I have a gut feeling that you are Chen Ping. ”
No one will believe this kind of answer in the future.
But in this era of respecting heaven and earth and believing in ghosts and gods, there is always an irresistible magic in such a statement.
Chen Ping really accepted Liu Kan's explanation.
He told Liu Kan that when his brother mentioned Liu Kan in front of him, he praised him and said that Liu Kan would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.
As a result, Chen Ping was curious to see what this person who was praised by his brother had what he was capable of.
He did not use his name, but came to Liu Kan's side as Chen Daozi. For several years, he has been silently observing Liu Kan, and even in several major events, he has also participated in it, trying to figure out Liu Kan's true thoughts.
From Liu Kan's return to Pei County from Song Zicheng, and then killing Yongya and making trouble in Pei County, Chen Daozi gradually gave birth to a strange feeling.
Liu Kan is scared!
His heart is ruthless, he desperately climbs up, and everything comes from the uneasiness in his heart.
Why the restlessness? What exactly does he want to do?
Chen Daozi became more and more curious, so after Liu Kan arrived at the building, he also accompanied him all the way. Nowadays, the world is peaceful, although the country is not rich and the people are safe, and even occasionally there will be things. But overall, there is really nothing to fear Liu Kan.
Liu Kan sits on a warehouse, has a lot of talents, and has thousands of acres of fertile land at home.
It can be said that life is safe and the official road is prosperous. He has a wife and children, and a career, what is he afraid of?
Or did Liu Kan see some things that he Chen Ping hadn't seen yet? If so, Liu Kan is really not simple.
Chen Ping did not ask Liu Kan again. He knew that when Liu Kan could talk to him, he would naturally tell him.
After Liu Kan heard Chen Ping's words, his brows frowned slightly. He boarded the chariot and looked over the camp. I saw that in the center of the camp, there was a very gorgeous cowhide tent. With a move in his heart, he turned to Lu Shizhi and asked, "Little pig, whose camp is this?" ”
Lu Shizhi thought for a while, "I've heard people say that this camp was originally the residence of Mao Dun. However, Mao Dun is now in the river, not in Quyan. ”
Where is Maudun located?
That's interesting......
"Have you heard, who are the relatives of Mao Dun who stay in Quyan?"
Lu Shizhi scratched his head, seemingly distressed. For a long time, he patted his forehead lightly, "I remembered, it seems that the Yan clan of Mao Dun did not go to Linhe with him...... It must be her, the Maudun Yanshi, it seems to be called, called Hu Yanzhu, that is, Hu Yanzhu! ”
