Chapter 304: The Great War is Imminent
When Ma An and his troops caught up, he suddenly found a large circle of horses and camels surrounding the city, which was very conspicuous in the empty desert, and he immediately guessed that the other party already knew their purpose, so he waved his hand and said: "Dismount, pay attention to the enemy formation ahead." As soon as he finished speaking www.biquge.info, he heard the sound of a rain of arrows in mid-air, and then a soldier in front of him fell to the ground.
Ma An hurriedly raised his shield and shouted: "Pay attention to concealment, let the archers line up to fight back." The people behind him dismounted one after another, began to line up in formal suits and raised their shields, and Ma An shouted to the opposite side: "Is it General Hou Mochen on the other side?" I am the master of Zhang Ye Matthew, and I have something to say to you. I saw that no one answered on the other side, but what answered him was another rain of arrows, and it seemed that the other side didn't want to talk to him at all.
There is no way that since the opponent has seen through the intention, there is only one way to attack now, Ma An commanded half of the men and horses to attack from one side in a roundabout way, and he led the main force to feint from the front. The archers lined up at the back of their own position, firing at each other all the time. It seems that someone on the opposite side has also fallen to the ground with an arrow, and the screams are one after another, at this time Ma An was just about to get up and charge, and an arrow hit his right leg accurately, and the arrow directly penetrated the entire thigh, so you can imagine how powerful this bow is.
Ma An screamed and fell to the ground, and the soldiers around him hurriedly came up to help him up, and the troops who were sneaking up there were also repelled by Hou Mochen and others, and Ma An saw that the situation was not good. Hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly, let's go back and report to the general, quickly!" With that, he limped over and retreated. Hou Mo Chen Shun and they also suffered several casualties in this battle, so they didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly sorted out their belongings, and withdrew to Jincheng with the wounded soldiers.
Tongguan, Gao Huan had brought people to fight before, but unfortunately due to various reasons at that time, he returned in vain, and now he is revisiting the old place, and he has a different taste in his heart. But now it's different, he has 200,000 heavy troops in his hands at the moment, and the previous powerful opponent Yuwentai is also dead, now is the time for him Gao Huan to dominate the world, thinking that no one can stop his progress, Gao Huan seems to be very satisfied.
The defenders on the checkpoint are Li Hu's general Wang Wende's troops, because they have received Li Hu's order before, although Wang Wende is unwilling, he can only let the Eastern Wei army drive straight into the pass, Wang Wende stood on the city tower at this time and watched the Eastern Wei army under the city enter the pass like a tide, and he was very angry, Gao Huan's main force was all assembled in Zheng County at this moment, and Li Hu's main force also rushed south from Huazhou to converge.
This is the first step in diplomatic work, he has successfully rebelled against Li Hu, and Bao Bin is also ordered by Zhao Yuan Shanjian to confront Han Xiong, further north, it is said that the Eastern Wei generals Murong Shaozong and Gao Ao Cao also led an army of nearly 100,000 to attack Xiazhou and other places, if this news is true, then Han Xiong will fall into the dilemma of suffering from the enemy on his back. The Eastern Wei army had not participated in the battle for a while, and at this moment they were even more energetic and fought bravely to be the first to kill.
Between Xinfeng and Baling in Yongzhou, Yuwenhu's army has been assembled, and it is roughly estimated that it is about 60,000 horses, in addition to the princes' troops who are rushing to rescue from all over the country, and 30,000 people in Jingzhou in Yuanxin. But in the face of Gao Huan's most superior troops and the most powerful corps. He was completely unconfident that he would be able to win this battle, but fortunately, although the people in Guanzhong did not like the Yuwen clan and did not support Yuwen Hu's rule, they seemed to be unprecedentedly united in the face of the invasion of foreign enemies.
Gao Huan thought that he had made Qingluo do so many things in Chang'an, and he should be able to divide and disintegrate their interior, but he never thought that the common people at the bottom and the lower class were so hostile and regarded him as a shameless and evil intruder, which surprised him.
In the Zheng County camp, Li Hu hurriedly brought his subordinates to ask to see Gao Huan. Gao Huan learned that Li Hu was coming, and personally greeted him at the camp gate, Li Hu was flattered and said: "Minister Li Hu didn't dare to have King Lao personally greet him, he was really ashamed." Gao Huan said with relief: "What did General Li say, you and I are both important ministers of the imperial court, and we were originally on an equal footing, but now we have to fight side by side and work hard to unify the world. ”
Li Hu who said a few words was almost moved with tears in his eyes, Yuwentai used to be heart-to-heart with them and was on an equal footing, but everyone knew that it was enveloping people's hearts, it was all a scene, and no one took it seriously. But this Gao Huan was so heartfelt when he met him for the first time, and he didn't have a master's frame at all, which made Li Hu a little surprised. It seems that he abandoned his son and followed Gao Huan, which can be regarded as picking the right master.
Li Hu spread out the map and pointed out the defensive positions of Yuwenhu's army one by one, Gao Huan asked Yang Xiuzhi and Gao Longzhi to come up together to carefully check the map, while Yang Kan silently listened to Li Hu's report on the military deployment ahead. At the end, Gao Huan said: "As for General Dugu's attitude, so far, I think it is still very unclear, what does he think, please ask the general to make it clear." ”
Li Hu said boldly: "Although the king can rest assured, this Dugu letter will be friends with him for more than ten years, and we are still children and daughters, and I think I know him very well, as long as he says that he is willing to surrender to him, he will definitely be trustworthy, but in recent days, Yuwen has taken frequent actions, and his family is under house arrest in Chang'an at the moment, so it is reasonable to hesitate a little, the king does not have to be anxious, wait for me to write a letter to urge him to come to Tongguan as soon as possible to meet." Gao Huan laughed: "That's very good." ”
At this time, He Batsheng came in with an escort to ask for a meeting, and Gao Huan happily pulled Li Hu to He Batsheng and said: "This is my sworn brother He Batsheng, this is the Tongguan guard, Huazhou Assassin Li Hu, General Li." He Batsheng then said: "It turned out to be General Li, disrespectful and disrespectful. Li Hu also diligently leaned on his fart and said: "It turns out that Your Excellency is General Heba, I think I have been listening to him mention you when Brother Ling and I were in Guanzhong, and now it is really better to hear than to see." ”
When He Batsheng heard him talk about his eldest brother, he felt a lot in his heart, and unconsciously had a good impression of him, and then Yang Kan said: "King, it seems that this great matter is only owed to the east wind." Neither He Batsheng nor Li Hu understood what he meant. Gao Huan smiled and said: "Well, so we still need to wait patiently, waiting for the east wind to blow, and we will beat the war drums and enter Chang'an." ”
No matter what Gao Huan said at the moment, in short, the current situation is already very unfavorable for Yuwen Hu and Yuan Baoju and others. The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and the fall of the Yuwen clan may indicate the establishment of a new dynasty, which is the trend of history and the general trend of the people's hearts, but where this road will go, no one knows, even Gao Huan himself has no bottom in his heart, he doesn't know what the future will be, only do everything now.
