Chapter 189: Drive Liu Jiu to the Western Regions
Liu Jiu led the troops to withdraw to the camp, but it was still far away, he almost fainted on the horse, and saw that the entire camp was already smoking, almost all the tents were set on fire, and the corpses of countless Hun soldiers who stayed behind were lying in the camp, and the scene was very tragic.
Li Qin asked the Fujiao recruits and reinforcements from all over the country to come over to the big camp, and did not let the soldiers set fire to kill, he was afraid that the recruits and reinforcements would not have enough combat effectiveness, and if there were losses in the battle, it would be a big trouble. However, when the recruits and reinforcements arrived at the camp, they found that there were less than 2,000 Huns guarding the camp, and they immediately refused to come and disturb them.
Zhang Yi regarded himself as Li Qin's comrade-in-arms, under his leadership, thousands of recruits and reinforcements rushed into the camp of the Huns, they were numerous, more than the Huns, although the combat effectiveness was indeed not very strong, but the momentum was like a rainbow, and the second was a lot of people, screaming and rushing into the camp, cutting when he saw people, burning things when he saw them, just a moment of effort, he combed the camp of the Huns, and all the ones that could be killed were killed, and all the ones that could be burned were burned!
After kicking the camp, Zhang Yi with a big victory, with the army to Fuping County and run there, I heard that there are Hun soldiers there, he decided to kick again, kicking people is very enjoyable, can kick hard, then can not keep the strength, the army ran to Fuping County again, and when Liu Jiu rushed back to rescue, Zhang Yi had already disappeared with people, and ran away early.
Liu Jiu was in a hurry, angry and sad, this time the trouble was big, the baggage was burned, the camp was destroyed, and his army could not stay in Fujiao Fort any longer, so he could only end with the withdrawal of troops again, and was defeated by Li Qin again.
Liu Jiu shouted angrily: "Go and see the sheep, go and see the sheep......"
The Huns are also blinded, the tent is gone, there is no place to sleep at night, fortunately the weather is getting warmer now, and people can't freeze to death if they boil in the field, but if the sheep are gone, it is not lucky, but sad, they can't kill the horses, but the horses can they return to the grassland alive!
The Huns immediately rushed to the sheep, but they passed through the smoking camp, and as soon as they saw the sheepfold, they saw a group of horners, who were driving the sheep there, and looked at the appearance of this group of horners, it was the guards in the fort, and the soldiers in the fort came out to raise grain and grass, and the sheep of the Huns were raised!
As if crazy, the Huns rushed forward, wanting to leave all the horn soldiers, but this team of horn soldiers is extremely exquisite, at a glance it is known that it is from the Qiang tribe, and at this time can come out to grab sheep, there is no doubt that they are elite soldiers. When these horn soldiers saw the Hun soldiers rushing over, they hurriedly beat their horses and left, running unhurriedly, while turning back to release arrows, and there were even more daring horn soldiers who were brave and screaming, shouting for the Huns to chase after them.
The Hun soldiers had long been holding back their stomachs, seeing that the horn soldiers were so rampant, they even dared to go out of the city to grab the sheep, and dared to shout arrogantly when they saw the sheep owner, as a Hun warrior, how could they let go of these horn soldiers, it was really too bad to lose the name of the warrior!
Most of the Huns went to take care of the sheep, they saw that the sheep were almost destroyed, either they were shot to death, or they were so frightened that they ran around and couldn't catch them, and the remaining sheep were estimated to be only enough for the army to eat for two days, and the loss was too great.
In addition, a small number of Hun soldiers went to chase and kill the horn soldiers, the Hun soldiers hated the horn soldiers very much, these horn soldiers did not come back when Li Qin did not come back, shrunk in the castle and did not come out, never came out to fight once, but today Li Qin just came back, this horn soldiers dare to come out and be rampant, it is really too hateful, must be given a heavy blow. Could it be that the Huns couldn't defeat Li Qin's army, and they couldn't defeat these defenders who had been shrinking in the castle? If they dare to come out, they will not let them go back alive.
Chase after the front, more than 300 horn soldiers run in front, more than 500 Hun soldiers chase behind, the two armies do not stop, have run to the vicinity of the beacon tower, here is the area controlled by the horn soldiers, unless the Hun army to attack, otherwise a small group of Hun soldiers are not daring to approach, the horn soldiers in the beacon tower have a kind of trebuchet, can project gravel, not only throw far, and the lethality far exceeds the bow and arrow, it is really difficult to deal with.
Ran to the edge of the beacon tower, the horn soldiers slowed down the horse, slowly retreated between the two beacon towers, then reined in the war horse, turned around and scolded the Hun soldiers, these Qiang people all speak the Hun language, scolding people is very bad, almost the Hun ancestors of the eighteenth generation, and the eighteenth generation of descendants have been scolded!
The Huns had the intention to rush over and kill, and listened to the Fujiao soldiers scolding viciously, under the high anger, under the leadership of a few centurions, these five hundred Huns soldiers rode to the Fujiao soldiers to kill, and they were out, desperately suffering losses, they must also kill hundreds and eighty Fujiao soldiers, out of a breath of evil anger in the chest!
As soon as they saw the Hun soldiers coming, the horn-raising soldiers did not dodge or dodge, but clapped their hands and shouted: "Evil animal, are you here to send you to death!" ”
The horn soldiers on the beacon saw the enemy coming, and immediately set up a simple version of the horn cannon, that is, a small trebuchet, aimed at the Hun soldiers is a mess of smashing, although they can't throw hundreds of pounds of big stones, but what bricks and tiles are smashed out, the power is also considerable, especially the two adjacent beacons shot together, but also smashed the Hun soldiers full of heads!
There were as many as 500 Hun soldiers who rushed over, and although dozens of people were smashed down by trebuchets, they were still numerous, and they rushed to the Fujiao soldiers in a blink of an eye. The horn-raising soldiers immediately released their arrows, and they relied on their well-armed weapons and equipment, and their bows and arrows could reach far, and they shot down dozens of Hun soldiers with a whoosh. Then, these Fujiao soldiers turned their horses' heads and ran to Fujiao Fort again, and did not engage the Hun soldiers, scolding while running, and their mouths were not idle at all.
A loud horn soldier shouted: "Grandson, come here, lick grandpa's feet!" ”
Another horn soldier shouted, "Come, come, come, come and arrest me!" Can't catch it, can't catch it! ”
The Huns were so angry that they didn't care about anything else, and chased after Fujiao Fort!
Suddenly, the door of the outermost castle opened, and a team of men and horses was killed from inside, numbering about five hundred, all wearing armor and holding spears, and rushed towards the Huns!
The reason why the Huns dared to chase after them was that they wanted to have more people and fewer people, but suddenly saw that there were soldiers in Fujiao Fort, and in a blink of an eye, they became Chengren's family members who beat more people and less, and the centurion immediately shouted, ordering the Huns not to pursue, turn the horse's head, and evacuate in the direction of the camp.
But when it is easy to come, it is difficult to go, when the Huns crossed the beacon just now, the horn soldiers above just projected some bricks and tiles at them, but when the Huns retreated, there were random arrows on it, and the horn soldiers behind shouted and chased over, just now they were chased, and now they are chasing people!
This Hun army suffered losses, and it was quite not small, they couldn't fight back at the horn soldiers on the beacon tower, because their arrows couldn't shoot at all, how close it had to be, so they could only be shot, through the death channel only a short distance of a few dozen zhang, they were half down by various long-range weapons, only more than 200 people escaped from the beacon tower, but they were caught up by the horn soldiers behind!
The Fujiao soldiers behind were still a mess of arrows, and after catching up, a few dealt with one, and in an instant they put down more than 100 Hun soldiers, and only a few dozen Hun soldiers fled to the camp. The fleeing Hun soldiers shouted and begged their companions to hurry up to support, and the Hun soldiers of the brigade saw this and hurriedly came to the rescue, and the Fujiao soldiers behind saw this, and stopped, they cut off the heads of the Huns, picked them on the tip of the gun, and galloped back and forth near the beacon tower, laughing loudly, attracting the attention of the Huns!
When the Huns saw it, they all hated it, but no one passed, so they could only let the Fujiao soldiers scold, and the Huns now felt that this war was going to be lost, and they were very likely to retreat today, and they couldn't spend the night here.
Liu Jiu was in no mood to care about the provocation of the Fujiao soldiers, he received a battle report again, the Hun soldiers in Fuping County were also attacked by the Fujiao soldiers, and not only the Fujiao soldiers went to fight, they have been pressed in the city by the Hun soldiers, when the Han soldiers of Longxian County who shrank their heads and turtles, saw that the reinforcements arrived, they were bold to go out of the city, the Han soldiers had 5,000 people, Li Qin did not come back, they did not dare to come out to fight, but as soon as Li Qin arrived, they immediately became happy, and went out of the city to kick the Hun soldiers outside!
The Hun soldiers outside the county town are used by Liu Jiu to deter the Han soldiers, not the elite troops, of course Liu Jiu can't put the elite in Fuping, he wants to defeat the more than 5,000 Han soldiers in the city, but if you want to scare the Han soldiers and prevent them from coming out, it is very easy, the four city gates each send five hundred people, but two thousand people, can suppress the Han soldiers and dare not move!
As soon as the Fujiao soldiers came back, the battle situation immediately changed, and when Liu Jiu received the battle report, it turned out that only eleven of the 2,000 Hun soldiers had fled back, and the rest were either killed or captured, and they were wiped out!
Liu Jiu thought to himself: "It's over, it's over, it's all over!" This is really an unexpected thing, Li Qin suddenly became a large number of soldiers and horses, not less than me, and now he is fighting on his territory, the time and place are favorable, I don't occupy the same, the barracks have been burned again, the sheep have been destroyed again, I can only retreat now! ”
Gritting his teeth, Liu Jiu is a grassland hero, he can afford to put it down, he called the generals, and said: "Our army can only retreat now, just now I heard that there are tens of thousands of horn soldiers going to the north, they are cutting off the way for our army to return to the division, we can only retreat to the west now, but we can't retreat too fast, otherwise the soldiers will flee, you lead the brigade to go first, after the king takes three thousand elite soldiers, don't panic, gather the soldiers, let's go slowly, understand?" ”
None of the Xiongnu generals could have imagined that this would be the result, they came with confidence, but they were dizzy by Li Qin's hammer, and they didn't even survive a day, they were about to be forced to retreat, everyone's hearts were heavy, but they had no choice but to follow Liu Jiu's order to retreat the whole army.
