"A bunch of bastards! Lost the pot so quickly, how is this going to be? Liu Cong said angrily with a gloomy face, with the danger of Huguan, it would not be able to stop the attack of the Jin army, not to mention Lu County, where the city is not too tall, plus the Hun soldiers are not good at defending the city, and it seems that it is a matter of time before Lu County is broken.

"Major General, don't worry, the Great Khan has already sent troops to help, as long as we can hold on to Lu County, and when the reinforcements arrive, we will definitely be able to defeat the Jin army by attacking inside and outside. So no matter what, we have to defend Luxian at the moment. Seeing that Liu Cong was depressed, the staff next to him couldn't help but comfort him.

"Alas, Ben will just feel very aggrieved. Thinking that my dignified Hun cavalry was beaten by the Jin people to hide in the city and did not dare to fight with the other party, it was really embarrassing to say it. ”

This is the most annoying place for Liu Cong, in order to prepare for this war over the years, the Huns have been expanding their cavalry units in Bingzhou, but as soon as the war started, the fierce artillery fire of the Jin army told the Huns that the cavalry era was outdated!

According to the soldiers who escaped from Huguan, in a short period of time, more than thousands of people died in the Jin army's artillery raid. Twenty thousand cavalry! It was buried in Huguan, and the Jin people poured into the party without hindrance. Liu Cong's face was unwilling, at first he didn't believe that the artillery fire of the Great Jin was so powerful, and the dangerous pass defended by 30,000 people was broken through by the Jin army in a very short time.

The Huns deployed more than 80,000 cavalry in Shangdang County, plus some other Han people who were forcibly conscripted, and there were nearly 100,000 troops in Shangdang County. However, except for the elite cavalry of the Huns. The other soldiers were not strong in combat, and some were purely Han Chinese farmers who were forcibly recruited by the Huns.

"General, the latest battle report, the forward troops of our army have eliminated the sniper units of the Huns, and are now advancing rapidly towards Luxian. The follow-up troops are expanding their gains, and the cavalry units are making a roundabout surprise attack, preparing to block the way for the Shangdang Huns to flee north from the north. "In the Jin army camp, a soldier took the battle report and excitedly reported to Zu Ti.

"Excellent! This battle report was sent to Luoyang Jingshi, so that His Majesty and the ministers of the court and the central government were also happy. Other than that. Let the rest of the troops hurry. Surround Lu County from the east and west, and Liu Cong must not be allowed to escape. If you can eat the nearly 100,000 troops of the Huns in one bite, it will definitely hurt the vitality of the Huns. Hearing this, Zu Qi said excitedly, if you can annihilate the 100,000 Hu army in one fell swoop. This will greatly shorten the gap between the enemy and us in terms of strength.

"No!" After joining the army and recording the order. Immediately went to deliver the order. After the outbreak of war. There's nothing more exciting than winning on the battlefield.

Zu Ti looked at the map, full of ambition. In order to drive the Hu people out of the country in one fell swoop, the imperial court mobilized a total of nearly 200,000 troops. The auxiliary strength is more than 100,000. However, compared with the huge strength of the Hu coalition army, the Great Jin did not have an advantage in terms of troops. If in the early stage of the war, taking advantage of the fact that the Huns were not familiar with the new tactics of the Jin army, they could inflict heavy losses on a part of the Hu army, which would definitely bring great benefits to the next military operations.

At this moment, along the line of the Great Wall in the north, the armies of Hu and Han are fighting bloodily. Fortunately, the Jin army had an absolute advantage, and from the very beginning of the shelling, it caught the Hu army off guard. Originally, the Hu people planned to raid the Jin army, but they were caught off guard by the Great Jin in turn.

Especially the Huns in Bingzhou, they had also seen their own artillery before, but they did not expect that the power of the Great Jin artillery would be several times stronger than that of the Huns themselves. Taking Huguan as an example, in just a stick of incense, the Hun carefully constructed Huguan defense line was completely defeated, and the artillery they had high hopes for was sent to the sky by the Dajin artillery without even showing their faces.

Together with the Huns who died in the shelling in the rear, the Huns in the entire Shangdang area had lost nearly a quarter of their troops. This not only made the Huns have a big hole in the deployment of troops. It has also suffered a heavy blow to morale.

The Great Jin Sixiang cavalry set off under the leadership of the general Zu Yue, 12,000 elite dragoons, from Huguan to the north to Wuxiang, they will rush to Wuxiang, an important town in the north of Shangdang, within a few days, blocking the road for Liu Cong's department to break through to the north. In addition, after the outbreak of the war, Gou Xi, who was entrenched in Pingyang County, quickly moved north along the west bank of Fenshui to merge the prefecture and was responsible for passing through the country of the West River. The main task of Gou Xi's department was to block the westward escape route of Shangdang's enemies and recover the Xihe Kingdom. There is also a large army composed of government soldiers responsible for the encirclement in the south, although the combat quality of the government soldiers is not as good as that of the Xiang army, but in terms of weapons and equipment is comparable to the Xiang army, it is more than enough to deal with the Hu people going south.

The Guanzhong army, under the command of Li Teh and Zhang Fang, has also taken action. However, their main direction of attack was not Jinyang, but Yanmen County in the north, which was responsible for cutting off the connection between Bingzhou and the Saiwaihu people, and blocking the footsteps of the Tuoba tribe to the south, creating an opportunity for the Central Plains army to annihilate the Xiongnu people in Bingzhou.

"Hurry, hurry, brothers! You must not let go of a bearded man! ”

After breaking through the Huguan defense line, the Great Jin army was rapidly moving towards Luxian. All the Huns encountered along the way were brutally attacked by the Jin army, and many Huns had long lost their psychological advantage over the Jin army. Some Han Chinese who were stranded in Bingzhou were overjoyed when they learned that Wang Shi had arrived, and many young people even offered to help drive out the Huns.

In the past two years, the Huns have done a lot of evil in Bingzhou, and many Han people have been ruined by them. Some Xiongnu nobles who had no time to escape were all deprived of all privileges by the Jin army and became prisoners, and even some Han people made excessive moves against the Xiongnu due to their emotions, which were also openly and secretly supported by the Jin army.

When the army reported these situations to General Zu Ti, the general said disapprerovitously: "The Huns deserve to be unlucky, if they hadn't done their own crimes, how could there be today's evil consequences?" Didn't Da Tianzun tell us a long time ago that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil, it's not that it won't be rewarded, and the time has not yet come. ”

"But general, if these things reach the DPRK, will they ......?" said the army worriedly.

"Humph! Even if it is known by the imperial history, what can I do? When will it be their turn to meddle in the affairs of the military? Don't forget, we have our own supervisory body, and besides, judging from His Majesty's character, it may not be that we will suffer in the future. Don't bother me if there is such a trivial matter in the future, we must strictly follow the guidance of His Majesty, this battle will make the Huns completely become a historical term! ”

"Bang bang bang!" The soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty took flintlock pistols and drove the Huns all the way to Luxian. Originally, Liu Cong had left more than 10,000 cavalry to prepare to snipe the Jin army, so as to buy some time for him to arrange the defense of Lu County. Who knew that in the face of the fierce attack of the Jin army, the defense line temporarily arranged by the Huns was precarious. The superiority of the Huns in strength could not take advantage of the blows of the Jin army's musketeers.

"Lord Captain, General Zu sent someone to ask, how long will it take for us to reach Lu County?" A herald handed a battle report to Yao Gezhong.

"Send someone to tell the general that our army will break through the Hun defense line and surround Luxian before sunset tomorrow." Captain Yao Gezhong replied confidently. Yao Gezhong suffered very little losses in the battle to capture Huguan, and the Huns had already been courageously discouraged by the heavy artillery fire, and in the following battles, the Xiang army could break through the Huns' defense line with a charge.

Today's Huns have either been killed or fled, and the rest of them have become prisoners in order to survive. Along the way from Huguan, Yao Gezhongbu captured more than 5,000 people just by capturing prisoners. However, he did not have time to manage these prisoners, and in order not to delay the speed of the march, Yao Gezhong had to let a small number of soldiers cooperate with some young men to guard the prisoners. His mission is to attack! Offensive! Offensive! Attack all the way to the city of Luxian.

"Everyone, the Jin army's attack is very fierce, if you don't have enough artillery support, you can't resist their attack at all! Let's figure it out! Looking at the increasingly critical situation, Liu Cong said anxiously. The main force in his hands had already suffered heavy losses, and in just a few days, less than 60,000 of the 80,000 cavalry remained. If it weren't for Liu Cong's tenacity, I'm afraid he would have collapsed long ago.

"The Great Khan ordered us to defend Lu County and block the way for the Jin people to advance westward, and the Great Khan has already sent reinforcements to support us!" A staff member comforted.

The strength of the Great Jin army far exceeded the imagination of the Huns, and also subverted their previous cognition. If they thought they could resist the attack of the Jin army, stabilize the battle line in Shangdang, and even go south to the Central Plains, then now they understand that all the previous assumptions were foolish dreams.

"But, Young General, can we withstand the attack of the Jin army? We are facing a three-way siege by the Jin army, with a total of more than 100,000 troops. However, the Jin army that attacked Huguan before was only more than 10,000 people, and this alone beat more than 30,000 of us to an embarrassment. ”

"Once the troops in the rear of the Great Jin are also put into battle, do you think we can still resist it? And the most hateful thing is that the Xianbei people in Hexi, who deceived us with so much money to build artillery, but it didn't play a role. ”

Liu Cong frowned, he understood what his subordinates said very well. However, he is a young master of the Huns, one of the heirs of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and everyone else can escape without a fight, but he can't. Even if he knew that he was defeated, he had to lead by example, otherwise not only would his father not be able to spare him, but his brothers would also take the opportunity to fall into the trap.

"General, something is wrong!" At this moment, a bloodied Hun officer rushed into the hall, and on one of his arms, there was a deep scar that could be seen in the bone, and blood was constantly bubbling out of the net.

"What's wrong? Could it be that the defense line responsible for sniping the Jin army along the way has been broken? How long has it been since the Jin army is about to come to the city? Is it still the Hun warriors who serve as snipers? Even if it was more than 10,000 pigs, it was impossible for the Jin people to catch them in such a short time! Liu Cong roared like an angry and injured wolf.

"Qiyu, general, it's not the Jin army that has arrived, but our rear! A large number of Jin cavalry appeared in the north of Lu County, at least tens of thousands of people, the inferior soldiers have been wiped out by them, only the inferior and a dozen soldiers escaped back! A Hun officer replied.

Liu Cong and everyone present suddenly changed their faces when they heard this. (To be continued......)
