Chapter 404: Interception and Killing

The army is rolling south, and the dust covers the sky and the sun. The front army is five or six thousand lightly armed cavalry carrying spears and bows and arrows, and then the Chinese army composed of tens of thousands of cavalry is surrounded by Altay and other generals, and the rear team is one or two thousand old and weak cavalry driving nearly 10,000 Han people to transport grain and grass for them, and the ox carts, carriages, wheelbarrows carrying grain and grass are endless, and the Xianbei cavalry keeps waving leather whips and whipping the Han people who serve as laborers, and the wails are all over the mountains, and the old and weak people can not stand the pain of the long journey, and fall to the ground, the Xianbei cavalry rushed forward and nailed them to the ground with a spear.

A strong middle-aged man shouted: "Folks, there is only one dead end to go with them, fight with them!" As he spoke, he pounced on one of the Xianbei knights who were rushing towards him. The common people of the King of Jin started to fight with the Xianbei cavalry who were guarding them, dealing with swords and guns with their bare hands, only to see blood flying all over the sky, and the people fell in a pool of blood; Crying, shouting, and screaming were intertwined, and the scene was chaotic.

After all, the common people are just ordinary people, even if they rise up, it is difficult to compete with the robbers armed to the teeth, and the situation at the scene is being controlled by the Xianbei people, and the people are being slaughtered by the other party!

Just when the people were desperate, hundreds of Han cavalry suddenly poured out from the hills and woods on both sides, shouting and slaughtering into the enemy thicket. The Xianbei people were caught off guard, and were killed by the Han cavalry, and the remnants fled in a hurry.

Some of the people who had escaped the catastrophe were shocked, some of them were holding the bodies of their relatives and weeping bitterly, while some of them ran to the Han cavalry and shouted: "The general will take us away!" The general will take us away......"

The officer glanced at the thousands of people in front of him and shouted: "Folks, our army has built a defensive line in the southern city of Fushi, you should go there quickly!" Don't take the big road, take the small road. ”

When the common people heard the officer's words, they took action one after another, helping the old and the young to burrow into the hills and woods on both sides, and then headed south.

The hundreds of Han cavalry set fire to the Xianbei people's grain and grass, and before the enemy reinforcements arrived, they had already crossed the Great Wall Pass and entered the desert steppe in the northern part of the state.

Altay led more than 10,000 cavalry to the scene, only to see the burning baggage all over the mountain, and the corpses of hundreds of his own soldiers. Altay was furious!

A general next to him frowned and said: "Our army's grain and grass have been destroyed, so we can only temporarily retreat!" ”

Altay exclaimed: "No need! This problem can be solved! He turned his head to a subordinate general beside him and said, "You, immediately send someone to Dingxiang to transport grain and grass." Then he said to another general: "Capture all the more than 10,000 Han people in Baitu City and eat them as vegetables." ”

The two generals clenched their fists in agreement.

……

At noon the next day, Altay led a large army to the city of Fushi. Altay was anxious to take the city of Fushi, and immediately ordered his army to attack. Tens of thousands of troops launched a fierce attack on the city.

However, the garrison of Fushi City was far stronger than Altay imagined, and the battle lasted from noon until sunset in the afternoon, and the Xianbei people did not make any progress, but the losses were not small.

At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened, and nearly a thousand Han army cavalry roared out under the leadership of a Han general, and quickly swept the Xianbei army that was besieging the city. The Xianbei army was caught off guard, and was killed by this assault cavalry of only 1,000 people, and the attack on the city wall immediately stopped.

Altay was frightened and hurriedly mobilized cavalry to cover the kill. However, by the time the cavalry rushed forward, the thousand-strong Han cavalry had already retreated into the city.

The Xianbei people rushed to the city gate and cursed loudly. Arrows rained down from the city wall, and the Xianbei people turned on their backs and hurriedly retreated.

Altay was so angry that he really wanted to go in and slaughter all the Han soldiers and civilians in the city. However, by this time it was getting late, and the morale of the army had been frustrated, and the forced siege was only a matter of casualties, so he ordered the army to retreat several miles to the village. The battlefield fell silent for the time being.

……

Look to the Eastern Front.

Due to the unexpected defeat in the middle road, the Xianbei people drove straight in, and Zhang Lang was inevitably copied by the Xianbei people, so he could only give up Yanmen Pass, and the army retreated backwards. Zhang Lang and Huang Zhong led the hussars to leave Yanmen Pass at the end, and when they left, they set fire to the city and smashed the city walls and gates.

A day later, Xianbei's main force of 600,000 troops poured into Yanmen Pass. The 600,000-strong army marched in unison, swept southward like a Lang tide, and scorched earth everywhere it passed. Fortunately, the vast majority of the people had been evacuated before this, otherwise the losses would have been unimaginable.

The Han army retreated all the way to Jinyang, and soon after, the main force of 600,000 Xianbei troops under the leadership of Kebineng entered the city of Jinyang.

Kebi can ride on the tall horse, looking at the prosperous city in front of him with his head held high, his face is full of pride, in his opinion, the complete collapse of the Han army is not far off.

Kebineng glanced at the general Tuoba Guangyao beside him, and ordered: "Bring all the thousands of Han people caught on the road to the army!" Tuoba Guangyao promised and raised his voice behind him: "Bring those Han people up!" ”

Thousands of Han Chinese were escorted to the front of the army by fierce Xianbei soldiers, and only cries were heard. Most of those people are old people. It turned out that although Zhang Lang made great efforts to transfer the people, there were still a considerable number of people who were unwilling to leave their homeland, and most of these people were elderly.

When the soldiers of the Han army saw this scene on the city wall, they all worried about those people. "What do those Hu people want to do?" A soldier asked. The veteran next to him frowned and said, "They may want to kill those villagers!" Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers became anxious and disturbed: "We can't watch from the sidelines, we must go and save them!" ”

At this moment, Lu Bu's angry voice came from under the city wall: "Open the city gate!" ”

All the soldiers looked towards the gate of Chengcheng and saw that their general had come to the gate of the city with tens of thousands of cavalry in full armor!

"Wait a minute, lord!" Jia Xu rode his horse and galloped to the gate of the city. Reined in his horse and said urgently: "I know that the lord does not want to see those people slaughtered by the enemy, but the lord must be more and less auspicious when he goes out!" Although the lord is brave and invincible, no matter how brave the tiger is, he can't defeat the wolves! ”

Zhang Lang said categorically: "If Lao Tzu can't save those villagers, he will still be a ball general!" If Lao Tzu dies, you can command it for me! Without waiting for Jia Xu to speak again, Zhang Lang raised his voice and shouted: "All the cavalry obey the order, follow me out of the city, and kill his mother!" All the soldiers were boiling and shouted in unison!

The city gate opened violently, and Zhang Lang led 20,000 armored heavy cavalry and 20,000 turquoise cavalry of Long Tao's army poured out of the city gate. Kebineng didn't expect his opponent to dare to go out of the city, and he was stunned for a moment, but then he became excited.
