Chapter 420: The End of the Huns
"Report the ......" Yuan Shu was chattering and scolding endlessly, only to see a soldier running in panting.
"Report to the lord, something is wrong, Chen ...... General Chen ......, "That soldier didn't know if it was because he had been running for too long or because he was too panicked about what he was going to say next, so he didn't finish a sentence for a long time.
"Bastard thing, what's the big deal? What's going on? The anger had not yet subsided, and Yuan Shu was furious when he heard the words of his subordinates.
"Tell the lord, news came from the East China Sea, after General Chen Lan and others entered the East China Sea, they took six counties in two days, and even ransacked the base camp of the Taishan thieves......"
The soldier was talking, but Yuan Shu kicked him and interrupted what he was saying.
"Let's get down to business, don't keep talking about previous achievements!" Yuan Shu said impatiently.
"Three days ago, the army attacked Tanxian, just when it was about to break the city and take the entire territory of the East China Sea, the rear army was attacked by Taishan thieves, and the army suffered heavy losses, and Li Feng and Le were killed! Subsequently, General Chen Lan commanded the army to evacuate and set up camp thirty miles outside Tan County, but was attacked by enemy fire, and finally almost all the army was wiped out, and General Chen Lan was nowhere to be found. The soldier got up from the ground with a frightened face, and didn't dare to look at Yuan Shu, lowered his head and trembled with his legs, and reported.
It was quiet, the whole lobby could be heard for a while, and Yuan Shu's face changed from red to black, and then from black to white, back and forth.
"Annihilation? That's more than 20,000 troops...... How did you promise me that you would take the East China Sea in a day or two, but now it's good, you can't even beat yourself! Chen Lan is such a piece of waste. ”
"Bang." With a loud bang, the angry Yuan Shu suddenly smashed a punch on the table, I don't know if the quality of the table is not good or Yuan Shu's strength is enough. The entire table was split in two.
"Lord, now that Li Feng and Le are dead, Chen Lan doesn't know where to go, should we withdraw the people and horses from the rest of the East China Sea first? If it's too late, I'm afraid I'll be caught all of them! Yuan Shu's general Zhang Xun proposed.
"Unexpected...... I'm afraid that Tao Qian will also think that we will evacuate, right? Yuan Shu suddenly touched the beard on his chin, and although he was whispering to himself, his eyes were fixed on the strategists under his command.
"If you're not careful, you'll lose everything. This time, letting Chen Lan be the master will be Hong's dereliction of duty, but he didn't expect that he would lead more than 20,000 troops to be unable to take a ruined East China Sea Kingdom, so his subordinates asked the lord to punish him! Strategist Yang Hong hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"Someone! Pull down the ......" Before Yuan Shu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another strategist, Yan Xiang.
"Lord, no, it's not the fault of the public, more than 10,000 of the 20,000 people Chen Lan brought are the remnants of the Yellow Turban who have been newly recruited, and the combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning, and the lord is not ignorant...... Now, although there are only four or five thousand people left in the East China Sea, they are all the elite of our army, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the people and horses brought by Chen Lan to attack Tanxian County, please think twice...... "Yan Xiang is excusing Yang Hong.
"Moreover, according to the news, the Xuzhou army only has two or three thousand men and horses in the East China Sea, even if you add the two or three thousand people of Zang Ba, there is not much advantage compared with our troops, our army is newly defeated, most of them have already exposed their identities, simply do not do two stops, take advantage of their unpreparedness, attack again, and then take the East China Sea country in one fell swoop! After taking the East China Sea Kingdom, the lord can surround Tao Qian in the south, and Cao Cao can also be attacked in both sides in the north, and the day of megatronage can be expected in the future! Yan Xiang saw that his words angered Yuan Shu, and hurriedly took advantage of the fact that he didn't have time to be angry with himself, and added some more, especially the last sycophant, which directly eliminated Yuan Shu's anger invisibly.
"But, it's a military advisor...... Tan County is as solid as a golden soup and it is difficult for us to take it at all, and it is freezing at the moment, after the army is assembled, it is already exhausted to rush to Tan County, if it is ......" Ji Ling, the general under the command of Yuan Shu, told his worries.
"Our army is tired, can the Xuzhou army still be better there? The other side only had 2,000 men to defend the city, and their soldiers and horses were much more tired than ours at this time. Seeing that Yuan Shu did not continue to punish him, Yang Hong also reciprocated and supported Yan Xiang's proposal.
"You can actually rest assured, I have a good plan to take Tanxian. At the moment, Xuzhou has just won, and there will inevitably be no more reinforcements to come, and the garrison will be somewhat relaxed. And Yinping, Chengxian, Lanling three places, we left a total of 4,000 people, these 4,000 men and horses gathered in Tanxian County only takes two days, only a small number of people disguised as Xuzhou army to open the city gate, then the East China Sea can be determined, after all, these counties, have recruited a lot of Xuzhou County soldiers, it is not difficult to choose some loyal people to deceive the city! It's just that one more general is needed...... I hope that the Lord will know people with discernment and assign them personally! Yan Xiang spoke.
"Good! So do it! Qiaorui, you take a thousand cavalry to go, and you must take the East China Sea! Yuan Shu clapped the order and gave the order.
"The last general commands!" Qiao Rui replied reluctantly.
On this cold day, go on the expedition...... What a sin!
The strategists didn't have too many words, they all knew that Yuan Shu was a person, and as long as they made up their minds, they wouldn't change it.
The generals didn't dare to say anything, since the lords all said so, if they had any dissenting words, they would only be caught by Yuan Shu's uncontrollable scene of rage, besides, it was not themselves who went on the expedition, but no one would rashly offend Yuan Shu for the sake of Qiao Rui.
"Alright, let's all go down!"
Immediately, only Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang, and Yang Hong were left in the lobby.
"Gongyou, I just wronged you!" Yuan Shu was rarely sympathetic to the deployment.
"The lord is tormented by his subordinates, ......" Yang Hong looked panicked.
"Are Sun Jian sure that he will contain Tao Qian? And what's the news on Liu Yan's side? Yuan Shu waved his hand absently and asked.
Sun Wentai said that as long as the lord does not directly take all of Xuzhou, he will help contain Tao Qian, making it difficult for him to take care of both ends...... As for Liu Junlang, presumably Liu Jingsheng is fighting with him because of the affairs in Hanzhong, and our current enemies are still only Tao Qian and Cao Cao! Yan Xiang analyzed.
"That's it!"
"Drive....... drive ....... fast! Evacuate ......"
"His grandmother's land, I really want to fight with them."
"Wu Ping, don't forget General Huang's words, the most important thing in front of you is to bring the enemy army into the designated place, and let you kill enough when the time comes."
"Knowing Komeito, I know that the overall situation is important, and it's just a complaint."
On the official road from the West River to Taiyuan, I saw thousands of embarrassed Bingzhou cavalry being chased by a large number of Huns, and the generals of the Bingzhou army were none other than Xu Huang and Wei Xu.
Since Gao Shun beat the greedy leaves, the Bingzhou army that had joined Huang Zhong confronted the Xiongnu tribes that had formed a joint camp.
Two days ago, after exploring the surrounding terrain, Jia Xu came up with a plan for Huang Zhong to ambush!
A valley thirty miles west of the Huns, suitable for an ambush! If the Huns can be tricked into this valley, then under the serial scheme, the Huns will be defeated!
The idea is good, but how to trick the Huns into this place is another problem.
At the moment, the two armies are in a confrontation, how can it be possible to lead the Huns there?
However, in Jia Xu's sneer, Huang Zhong and the others shuddered and agreed to Jia Xu's proposal.
At the same time, every night, countless soldiers rushed to the ambush site by night, and there were countless scarecrows and ownerless horses in the camp. In order to hide their whereabouts, the soldiers in ambush rushed to the ambush site on foot.
When all the actions were almost done, Huang Zhong ordered Xu Huang and Wei Xu to lead the soldiers and horses to challenge in front of the Hun camp!
Early in the morning, Xu Huang and Wei Xu shouted outside the Hun camp with four thousand cavalry, the Huns were already short-tempered, not to mention that Xu Huang and Wei Xu's insults were extremely hurtful, and a tribal leader on the camp side suddenly led people to kill!
Its leader was extremely fierce, and one person met Xu Huang and Wei Xu, only to see that he defeated Xu Huang within ten moves of his scimitar, and almost knocked Wei Xu off the horse.
Seeing that they were defeated, the two hurriedly rode their horses to evacuate and fled, and the direction of their escape was not the camp of their own army directly behind, but they rushed to the west in a panic.
If Xu Huang and Wei Xu evacuated directly to the camp with their men and horses, I am afraid that the leader of the Huns would immediately blow the trumpet and withdraw his troops! After all, the camp of the Han people is too strong, and the Han people are good at using intrigue and trickery, and the Huns have long learned to be obedient after suffering several losses!
But he never thought that the defeated army of the Han people would flee west......
Seeing this situation, this Hun leader will let the other party go? quickly led the army of the headquarters to start the pursuit.
"Damn, these Han people can't count the rabbits one by one, why do they run so fast." After chasing for a while, only a few stragglers who had fallen behind were killed, and the leader of the Huns couldn't help but be furious.
Seeing that most of the enemies were only a few hundred meters away from him, but he couldn't catch up, the tribal leader couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.
"Leader, look, they have all lost their flags and abandoned their armor, it seems that their war horses can't run." Chasing after him, the banners abandoned by Xu Huang and Wei Xu could be seen everywhere along the way, as well as a large number of shields and armor, and the first thought of the Huns was that the Han people could not run.
They all came on horseback, and the Han people ran faster than themselves, it must have been because they ran for their lives at the expense of horsepower, and as a result, they ran for dozens of miles, and the horses couldn't withstand it.
"Hahaha...... It seems that these guys have finally run to the end, sons, rush, kill them without leaving a piece of armor! "When the leader saw the shield and armor, he was still a little sensible, but with the appearance of a large number of scattered weapons, the leader was no longer guarded!
The Han people have lost even their weapons, what else is there to be afraid of?
