Chapter 041: Flying Yong'an
Yong'an County is located in the northeast of Hedong County, close to Fenshui, and is the only place to enter Bingzhou from the Fenshui Ancient Road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Liao already knew Lü Bu's intentions, and in order to block the Southern Huns between Jiangyi and Yong'an, he led 500 Bingzhou cavalry to arrive at Yong'an in only one day.
At this time, there were no soldiers stationed in Yong'an City, as the first few northern cities that the Baibo Army plundered after entering Hedong, Yong'an City was already ten rooms and nine empty at this time, and it was dilapidated. The people of Yong'an were either coerced by the Baibo army to the south, or they hid in the mountains.
Zhang Liao took his troops into the city to rest for the night, and the next day continued to march thirty miles south, then stopped, and began a bloody and frantic blockade.
Yu Fuluo always paid attention to Lu Bu's movements when Yang Feng sent people to ask for help, and at that time, in order to get rid of Yang Feng's burden, he asked his subordinates to directly kill the messenger sent by Yang Feng to contact him.
Yu Fuluo knew the difference between the regular army of the imperial court and the rabble of the chaotic people, and he hoped to gain Lu Bu's favor by killing Yang Feng's envoy.
However, Lu Bu didn't seem to appreciate it. Not only did he not appreciate it, but he also stationed his soldiers and horses in Jishan Pavilion, which was only more than 100 miles away from Jiangyi, faintly posing a threat to the city occupied by Fuluo.
In order to prevent accidents, Yu Fuluo had already transferred all the clansmen between Wenxi and Jiangyi to the north of Jiangyi, and he was now looking forward to Lu Bu leading his troops south from Jishan Pavilion and crossing the water to fight with Yang Feng. According to common sense, Niu Fu lost Anyi, and Lu Bu, as Niu Fu's reinforcements, also had to bear a lot of responsibility, if Lu Bu didn't want Dong Zhuo to trouble him, the best way was naturally to recapture the lost Anyi City of Hedong.
It's a pity that Yu Fuluo didn't expect that Lü Bu had gotten rid of Dong Zhuo's control, and the Southern Huns happened to be in the way of Lü Bu's return to the north.
On the side of the couch, there is no room for others to snore. Between Lü Bu and Yuvro, one must disappear.
Not long after Zhang Liao and his army stopped, a small group of Hun cavalry approached from the valley road to the south.
Zhang Liao didn't say a word, and carried a long-handled machete to urge the war horse forward, followed by cavalry equal in number to the small team of the Huns. This is a default duel between cavalry, with equal numbers on both sides, and they charge face to face until no one is still on horseback.
Soon, the team led by Zhang Liao was killed with the scout team of the Southern Huns.
Although the Southern Huns still retained the tradition of their ancestors riding horses and being good at fighting, they faced the Bingzhou cavalry that had completely driven their ancestors out of the Han Dynasty from the north, and Zhang Liao, who led this Bingzhou cavalry, had scared off the enemy's 100,000 people with 800 cavalry in parallel time and space.
After some fighting, Zhang Liao beheaded five Huns, and the rest were dealt with by the soldiers behind him. No more than five of the Southern Huns fled south, and they were going to flee back to report to Uvro.
At night, a cavalry of the Southern Huns, twice as large as Zhang Liao's troops, quietly slaughtered from the south, but did not meet any resistance in the dark.
It turned out that Zhang Liao had already retreated to Yong'an City with his troops. It was difficult for mounted cavalry to attack the city, but dismounted cavalry could defend the city like infantry. Zhang Liao now uses the cavalry as infantry, and with the help of the relatively complete city wall of Yong'an City, he blocks the pace of the Southern Huns to the north.
The 1,000 cavalry of the Southern Xiongnu came to the outside of Yong'an City, and found that the city wall was crowded, thinking that there were many Han troops stationed in the city, so they had to retreat.
It's just that it's easy for them to come, but it's hard for them to leave!
Zhang Liao, who was waiting for work, led one hundred and fifty people in the camp who could see at night, and launched a charge against the 1,000 Hun cavalry who retreated south!
The thousand men of the Southern Huns were furious, turned back to meet Zhang Liao, and were beheaded by Zhang Liao in the chaos. Zhang Liao descended the mountain like a fierce tiger, and became more and more brave in the enemy group, killing the Southern Huns.
The Southern Huns fled southward, and Zhang Liao led the cavalry to chase and kill, and ran out of fifty miles in one breath before stopping the attack.
In this fierce battle, Zhang Liao lost more than 70 people, and the Southern Huns eventually fled back to the south with no more than 500 people.
After this fierce battle, no Southern Xiongnu people went north along the ancient road of the Fen River, and they hid in the triangular area of Yangxian, Xiangling and Pingyang.
Subsequently, the 4,000 infantry led by Zhang Yang quietly rushed to Yong'an, so the retreat of the Southern Huns to the north and return to the grassland was completely blocked.
In the big tent of the Jishan Pavilion marching army, Lü Bu did not know for the time being that Zhang Liao led a small number of cavalry to defeat the Southern Huns, but according to the predetermined plan, he was ready to lead the army to the north to force the Fenshui crossing, capture Linfen, and enter Jiangyi.
A march map was placed in the middle, and Lu Bu, Lu Zhi, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, and Xu Rong stared at Linfen, Jiangyi, Fenshui, and Hushui on the map, thinking about the plan of attack.
"Jiangyi is located in the horn-shaped area where the Hushui and Fenshui meet, and these two large rivers serve as barriers, which will cause great trouble to the cavalry raids of our army. However, the Huns are not good at holding the city, and our army has a trap warrior who is good at attacking fortifications, and it is still certain to break through Jiangyi, but the casualties are heavier, and it is not the best choice. ”
"Linfen is located in the west of Fenshui, across the river from Jiangyi, if you take Linfen first, you can freely enter and exit the Baibo Valley, and form a great threat to the Southern Xiongnu entrenched in Xiangling, Pingyang and Yangxian areas. If our army can successfully capture Linfen, Yu Fuluo will not dare to confront our army with just a lonely city in Jiangyi, and will inevitably abandon Jiangyi, so Linfen is the key to this battle. ”
"Fifty miles east of Jishan Pavilion is Wenxi County, and fifty miles north of Jishan Pavilion is Fenshui flowing from east to west. Wen Xi now has no trace of the activities of the Southern Huns, so he can send people to Anyi to contact Yang Feng, signaling Yang Feng to send troops to occupy Wen Xi, which will shake Yu Fuluo in Jiangyi. During the occupation of Wenxi led by Yang Fengbu, our army crossed the river from the Jiting section of Fenshui and attacked Linfen to the east. ”
Chen Gong finished his combat suggestions for everyone's reference and supplementation.
Lu Zhi said: "Our army's existing strength is sufficient, and it is not difficult to besiege Linfen, but there will be casualties in the end. The policy of public station is feasible, and it will be more prudent if it is slightly supplemented. Lu Zhi pointed to Jicheng east of Jiangyi, and continued: "This place is one hundred and fifty miles away from Jiangyi, located in the upper reaches of the muddy water, which is not familiar to everyone, if a small team of cavalry is sent to attack and harass, Yu Fuluo will be even more unable to judge the true intentions of our army, and Yang Feng's actions in Wenxi will make Yu Fuluo suspect that our army has reached some kind of agreement with Yang Feng, in this case, Yu Fuluo will definitely transfer Linfen troops to strengthen the defense of Jiangyi, and it will be easier for our army to capture Linfen." ”
Everyone agreed with Lu Zhi's supplement, just sending a small number of cavalry could lure the Southern Huns near Linfen to Jiangyi, and Lu Zhi's use of troops was really spicy.
