Chapter 490: Fighting

The attack of Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zhan only delayed the Wuhuan army for most of the day, and finally did not stop the Wuhuan army from advancing towards the mouth of the Grand Canyon of Yuanbao Mountain.

Speaking of which, this is also the way for Lou Ban to unswervingly advance to Liaodong.

The current building class is already ready to be sent.

He forcibly took the throne of King Wuhuan from the hands of Bunton, but it was also equivalent to picking up the life and death of the Wuhuan people. There are so many Wuhuan people, lack of food and clothing, even if his father Qiu Liju secretly hid a lot of money and food for him back then, but after all these years, it has been consumed, and it is far from enough to completely solve the problem of food and clothing of the people of the Ju tribe. Therefore, he had to launch an attack on Liaodong. Complete the unfinished business.

Compared with Bundun, the current Lou Ban is a real man of action, which is of course also related to his vision and vision, and the relationship between him who has just taken office as the king of Wuhuan, and the relationship between thinking about the problem is far from being too deep and thorough. Therefore, he was more decisive than Badun, not like Badun, after thinking about it, he always felt that he was not sure enough, and he didn't dare to take action.

Lou Ban is now more pure, he thinks that since the future goal of the Wuhuan tribe has been determined, then it must be carried out to the end, and he will definitely not terminate the action determined earlier because of a sudden accident. This has something to do with his character who has been trying to seize the throne of King Wuhuan all these years and finally let him succeed. He had decided that he would take the throne from the hands of Bunton, and he would focus on this goal and push it to the end. He didn't care whether his forcible seizure of the Wuhuan throne at this time would lead to the split of the Wuhuan clan.

In this way, he let the Wuhuan vanguard army of 500,000 or 600,000 go first. Let the logistics troops of their clans, the clansmen in general. drove their cattle and sheep in the middle army, and left hundreds of thousands of cavalry behind to suppress the formation. In this way, they marched towards Liaodong step by step.

In this way, it really made Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan unable to find a chance to attack Louban's Wuhuan army from behind for a while. can only hang from a distance, looking for an opportunity to attack.

However, when the Wuhuan vanguard army reached the mouth of the Yuanbao Mountain Gorge, it was met with strong resistance from the remaining New Han Army, so that their military horses failed to capture the Xiayu Mountain Pass for a while. Tai Shici, who stayed behind, faced hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry troops, he led an army in front of the defensive position. fought against the Wuhuan cavalry, and beheaded more than a dozen generals of the Wuhuan tribe, which directly hit the morale of the Wuhuan cavalry. Lou Ban ordered a storming of the mountain pass, but suffered an even heavier blow. The New Han Army, which had been prepared for a long time, came up with all kinds of tricks, so that the Wuhuan cavalry army lost its troops and lost its generals, and it was impossible to capture the large camp at the mouth of the canyon of the New Han Army.

Soon, it was getting dark, and there was no way. Lou Bancai ordered his military horses to camp outside the mouth of the canyon and fight again tomorrow.

The Wuhuan tribe, in addition to their millions of cavalry, there are also hundreds of two million people. and countless cattle, sheep and horses. Their camp was so big that it was boundless, but it gave Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan a chance.

Night. Yue Yun and Gongsun Zhan approached the Wuhuan camp several times, although they failed to break into the Wuhuan camp directly. However, it also inflicted heavy losses on the Wuhuan army on the periphery. In particular, it attracted a force that could not be harassed and wanted to drive Zhao Yun's army and horses away from their camp. The pursuit was farther away, but it was intercepted by the cavalry of Gongsun Zhan's department who was ambushed on the side, and Zhao Yun led the army back to kill. As a result, a cavalry army of about 100,000 of the Wuhuan people was defeated and 100,000 were beheaded.

I have to say that the base number of casualties in the operation of the large corps, if you are not careful, is in the hundreds of thousands.

If it weren't for Lou Banqin leading a cavalry army to support at night, this Wuhuan cavalry army would be wiped out.

This night made the Lou Ban uneasy, and everyone in the entire Wuhuan camp was panicked.

Early the next morning, the red-eyed Lou Ban became angry, and directly let his vanguard army and hundreds of thousands of cavalry attack together, regardless of the cost of casualties. Under the desperate attack of the Wuhuan army, they finally broke through the defensive position at the mouth of the canyon and entered the camp of the New Han Army.

However, Tai Shi Ci no longer expected that it would be difficult to resist the onslaught of the Wuhuan army, and had already let the infantry army quietly withdraw, leaving only 100,000 cavalry troops to deal with the Wuhuan army. After the defensive line was lost and the camp was broken, Tai Shici led the cavalry to retreat while fighting and retreating east along the canyon.

For hundreds of miles in the canyon, after a day and a night of fierce fighting, the 200,000 Xinhan army led by Tai Shici laid out multiple lines of defense along the way, making it difficult for the Wuhuan army to drive straight in.

In the end, at a place where rivers meet, Tai Shici once again deployed defenses and confronted the Wuhuan army for two days.

After the Wuhuan army and its tribesmen entered the canyon, it was difficult for Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zhan to attack anymore, so they could only stare from afar, looking for an opportunity to attack.

In these days of fierce fighting, the Wuhuan tribe of Louban suffered heavy losses in military horses. It is estimated that his military horses are only about one million at most. But their people did not lose much.

If at this time, the New Han Army has enough troops here, I am afraid that it can directly trap more than two million Wuhuan people in this Grand Canyon and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

However, now that there are hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry attacking and advancing, and there are hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry behind the palace, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici are really helpless to get them now. What can be done is to keep attacking and harassing, keep consuming their troops, and block their marching speed as much as possible, so that Gongsun Du has enough time to evacuate the people in the Liaodong region and enough time to prepare to resist the invasion of the Wuhuan people.

At the same time, the military horses of the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes of Kudun and Kebineng moved northward and reached the confluence of the two large mountain ranges. Not far to the north, there is Xianbei Mountain.

At this time, Liu Yi, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun and other generals also led the Han of the New Han Army to rush to the vicinity from Tianzhen.

At this time, Liu Yi could do two ways, one was to lead the army to continue north, find the location of the Xianbei tribe, and directly attack the Xianbei tribe. Second, it is to bypass the mountains, turn to the south and advance to join forces with the military horses of generals such as Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Gongsun Zhan, so that the army of the New Han Army has a full 800,000 military horses. In this way, the New Han army could win even if it fought a decisive battle with the Wuhuan tribe head-on.

Because of the relationship between the big mountains. The contact between Liu Yi and Zhao Yun and other generals was inconvenient, and they didn't know each other's situation very well.

Lewy in order to figure out the situation. Ordered the army to find a camp under a leeward ridge, intending to send someone to find out the situation. Moreover, the scouts who had been sent earlier to find the army of the Xianbei tribe were also about to return.

Early this morning, Liu Yi, who was waiting for information, couldn't resist the requests of the women who came with the army, and after asking Qinglian, he was sure that there should be no heavy snowstorm that day, so he agreed to them. Go with them outside the barracks to enjoy the beauty of the snowfield.

The Linhai Snow Field in the Northeast is completely different from the Snow Field in the Northwest Desert.

In the desert area, there is more of a desert Gobi, in the cold winter season, when there is really heavy snowfall, the desert is frozen, and it looks extremely smooth. And some of the steep areas with mountains. Those mountains, because they are too steep, the heavy snow will not completely freeze those peaks, and you can still see the strange rocky shapes of those mountains.

And in this forest and snow field. The trees, lined up one by one, looked like some white-hatted privates. As far as the eye can see.

Relatively speaking, in the middle of the snow field. There will also be more rare animals, more wild beasts.

Like Huang Wudie, Zhao Yu and other women. They arrived here with the army all the way, and they were full of interest in this beautiful and magnificent snow forest.

wanted Liu Yi to accompany them to hunt in the mountains and forests.

In fact, all the women went out with Liu Yi, except for the time when they really fought, at other times, Liu Yi accompanied them more. Therefore, even during the march and battle, when there is no war, Liu Yi is used to accompanying the women around him to enjoy the scenery of various places.

Now it can be regarded as going deep into the area of Linhai Snow Plain, but Liu Yi is not too worried about safety.

Liu Yi said hello to Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and then took the women out of the barracks.

Most of the women have learned to ski. Everybody had a pair of sleds.

Xuanyuan Feng's injury was not healed, so he didn't let her follow, but Xuanyuan Qing was quite interested in skiing, and he also went out of the barracks with him.

The girls who knew how to ski, put on their snowshoes, and didn't wait for Liu Yi, they looked at a small snow-capped mountain in the northeast and slid over with laughter.

Liu Yide wanted to teach Xuanyuan Qing some basic movements, so he fell behind.

Don't look at Xuanyuan Qing's good skills and extraordinary martial arts, but when it comes to skiing, this must pay attention to physical balance. She didn't fully learn it for a while, and in the snow, she fell several times in a row, which made her coquettish and angry, and she threw a young lady's temper at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi couldn't do it, so she had to teach her hand in hand, and after a while, she mastered some basic skiing essentials.

Liu Yi looked up, and the other women had already slipped far away. Among them, Ugandama and other women, they were originally daughters on the desert grassland, and now, back in the forest, sea and snow fields they are familiar with, they are really like birds flying back to the forest, swimming fish back to the sea. She directly skied the snow while holding a bow and arrow, and hunted in the forest. In addition, women such as Red Moon and others, Lan Ji, Lisi and other women happily went to check the prey they shot for her.

Perhaps, starting from Luoyang and marching all the way to this Linhai Snow Field, Liu Yi has been treating Xuanyuan Feng's injuries, and he has not taken care of them, nor has he accompanied them to enjoy the scenery along the way. On this day, they went out to camp to play, and they were very happy.

When it was nearly noon, Liu Yifang took Xuanyuan Qing to catch up with them, but they had already hunted a lot of prey, such as some hares.

What made Leo Yi a little speechless was that when he came out of the camp, he didn't find that they were carrying picnic tools, and now, they had all set up a picnic formation, spread a soft blanket on the snow, and set up an iron pot, which was boiling water. Forget that, they even brought wine.

Of course, having a picnic with the girls is also Liu Yi's favorite, especially game. Some wild meat that Liu Yi had never seen made Liu Yi look forward to it.

Seeing them busy happily together, Liu Yi's heart was also melted.

However, this time, I am afraid that the picnic will not be able to go on.

At this time, Ugan Tama glided like flying, slid back from a hill with a hula, and stopped beside Liu Yi with a bang.

"Husband! If there is a situation, come and follow me to see. Ugan Tamar didn't say anything, so he pulled up Lewi.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yi had a solution for a while.

"Oh, just come and take a look." Ugan Tamar pulled Leo and slid away.

It was not easy to get to the post, and when he finally got to the hill, Ugan Tama pointed to a mountain forest in the distance and said: "Husband, look there, there are constantly birds and beasts being startled out of the mountains and forests over there. ”

"Oh?" Leo looked fixedly.

In fact, in this cold season, there are very few birds flying in the mountains and forests, even wild beasts, they will hide well, and if you don't look carefully, it is really difficult to find them, unless the wild beasts are hungry and want to come out to feed. Like now, none of the hares hunted by the women were really hunted, but Ugandamad was originally caught by women in the desert steppe, with their experience, picking up some grass and catching them directly.

However, it must be unusual for the mountains and forests in the distance to be surprised by birds and wild beasts.

Lewy also saw some wild beasts startled out and scurrying in the snow forest in the distance.

However, there is no need for Liu Yi to guess, because Liu Yi has already seen it.

I saw that at the foot of the mountain in the distance, from the corner, suddenly a group of people and horses turned out.

Well, it's all cavalry, and it's still under the banner, of course, because it's still a little far away, and I can't see who it is.

But it doesn't matter. The people and horses that emerged in this forest and snow field, especially those traveling north, would definitely not be their own people. If it's not your own, then you can only be a different race.

At the corner of the mountain forest, a steady stream of military horses appeared, and the queue was very long, as if there was no end.

Where Liu Yi was, only four or five miles away from where the centaur appeared. And from his camp, Liu Yi estimated that it would be thirty or forty miles away. Anyway, the girls skied and hunted all the way, and the direction had not changed roughly, so that they hadn't slipped away from their barracks for thirty or forty miles in half a morning?

At this time, if Liu Yi wants to take the girls out of this hill and return to the barracks, he will definitely let these people see it. Because, after they cross this hill, their vision will be much broader. If Liu Yi and the girls didn't escape from their sight as quickly as possible, they would definitely see it, and most likely, they would chase them over.

It was unlikely that they would be overtaken, but it occurred to Liu Yi that if these military horses were Wuhuan or Xianbei military horses, now was the best opportunity to attack them.

Thinking about it, Liu Yi had an idea in his heart. (To be continued......)
