Chapter Fifty-Eight: Conquering Dawan

Although Huhe evil is a reckless person, but it is also a long-term battle, think about it carefully, but also feel that the enemy army is defeated a little strangely, and a row of defeats and retreat for dozens of miles without any army to respond, very unusual, secretly screaming is not good, the enemy army is not to divert the tiger from the mountain, intended to attack Guishan City. However, there are still 2,000 defenders in Guishan City, and even if there are many enemy soldiers, with the tall and strong city walls, there is no problem at all to defend it for a day or two. Thinking of this, he didn't panic and ordered to return to Guishan City.

As soon as he turned the horse's head, he only heard the rumbling of war drums on the left hill, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and a group of men and horses rushed over. As the first general, the golden armor and green robe, the jujube red horse under the crotch, the green dragon glaive knife in his hand, the silkworm eyebrows are lying down, the phoenix eyes are slightly open, and it is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang. He sneered and said: "Ho and evil, you have fallen into the plan of my lord, and you will not get off the horse and surrender!" ”

Hu Hexie was furious, although he didn't understand Chinese, but someone under his command immediately translated it for him, so angry that he was screaming, although Guan Yu was rolling smoke and dust behind him, and he couldn't tell how many ambushes there were, but the Huns had never been afraid of anyone on this land, even if he was ambushed, he didn't let him lose heart, and immediately waved his troops to Guan Yu's side.

At this moment, Zhang Fei, who was ambushed on the right, also led the army to attack, and Pan Feng, who had been defeated before, also turned his gun and launched an attack on the position of the Huns.

In the face of the siege of the three-way army, even the strongest army gradually felt unbearable, and Biler shouted: "The general retreats quickly, Baogui Mountain City is important, and the end will be broken." ”

Huhe evil had no choice but to lead the army out of the siege and flee to Guishan City. Guan Yu sneered and chased after each other. Biler raised his gun and refused, Guan Yu raised his knife and fell, cutting him off his horse.

Fleeing all the way, when night fell, the tall walls of Guishan City were already in front of him, and the sound of chasing soldiers behind him gradually subsided, and the mood of Huhe evil was slightly settled. Brought out of the city of 3,000 cavalry, only more than 1,000 people fled back, nearly 2,000 soldiers died on the battlefield, he regretted not listening to Bieler's words, only this defeat, and Beyler also lost his life to protect him, Huhe evil expression was extremely depressed, and now he can only return to Guishan City first, first keep Guishan City.

He ordered his soldiers to open the city gate, but no one opened the door for a long time, so he couldn't help but be furious, rode forward, and ordered the soldiers guarding the city to open the door.

There was a shout above the tower of Guishan City, countless torches illuminated the city and the city like day, surrounded by all the troops, it was a person in gold armor and red robe, with a face like a crown of jade, handsome and extraordinary, and it was clearly the appearance of the Han people in the Central Plains. Hu Hexie was not a fool, he immediately understood that this person must be the commander of the Nine-Nation Alliance, the Sun God Envoy.

Liu Ze laughed and said, "General Hohe, I have been waiting in Guishan City for a long time. ”

Hu Hexie's face was pale, his body shook, and he almost fell off his horse, he never dreamed that Liu Ze not only ambushed him halfway, but also captured Guishan City lightly, and it was only a few hours, but he still had 2,000 soldiers to defend Guishan City, even if it was 2,000 pigs, it would have to be killed for half a day, not to mention the tall city wall, how did they break it?

It was useless to think about these questions, and he was already furious, and immediately ordered the siege of the city. However, his mind was also confused at home, not to mention that there were only more than 1,000 people in his hands, even if there were 10,000 people, all of them were field cavalry, without any siege equipment, how could he break through the tall city walls.

The city was already full of arrows, and after dropping dozens of corpses, Hu Heyi calmed down and led his troops to retreat eastward. Liu Ze just sneered a few times, and ordered the soldiers to watch the city gate and not order the pursuit.

The night was dark, and the remnants of the army retreated to the Oolong Ridge, and the desert at the end of September was cold at night, and the Hun soldiers in single clothes were shivering from the cold. In the midst of the chaos, the grain and grass that had not been brought much had already been discarded, and after a day of fierce fighting, cold and hungry, the remnants of the army were exhausted. Hoheevil slackened and felt hungry, so he ordered to set up camp and make a fire to cook.

One of the commanders under his command had a sad face, and said: "General, our army did not make preparations for camping today, and did not carry anything for the camp tent, and only a small amount of dry food was lost in the chaotic army, and now our army has nothing to eat. ”

Hu Hexie was furious, and whipped at the commander of the thousand, shouting: "You bunch of waste-" After scolding for half a sentence, he stopped in despair, today's defeat was too big a blow to him, the army known as the king of the steppe was defeated in one day, Guishan City was lost, and the four thousand elite horsemen were gone, how should he explain to his brother Hudun Shan Yu.

"Kill the horse!" He gave a brief order, and the commander who had been whipped took a step behind him timidly, not knowing whether to carry out General Zuo's order or not. War horses are like their own lives for the grassland people, sometimes a good horse is even more than the life of a warrior, and no one is willing to kill their beloved war horse as a last resort.

Hu Heye sighed and said: "Let's kill a few horses to satisfy hunger first, as long as we can live in Wulong Ridge, it will be our world, and we still have more than 100,000 troops on the eastern front, and if we lose the horse's head, we can destroy them cleanly!" ”

"Yes!" The commander was ordered to retreat, picked a few old and weak horses, slaughtered them, lit a bonfire, and prepared a barbecue.

At this moment, the sound of killing was everywhere, and the coalition forces had surrounded them. The 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Wu Anguo had already been ambushed in Wulongling, and they had set up pockets for the Huns to drill. There was no suspense in the battle, how did the Xiongnu, who were sleepy and lacking horses, arrive at several times the siege of men and horses, and it only took half an hour to end, and Huheevil was also captured alive. Wu Anguo ordered Huheyi to be tied up and taken to Guishan City, and the remaining captives were all killed.

At this point, all the realms of Dawan have been recovered. In Guishan City, there is a scene of joy. Liu Ze sat in the general's mansion, and the generals from all walks of life returned to the city to report the victory. The leaders of the nine major tribes who accompanied him could not imagine that Liu Ze would be able to completely annihilate the enemy in Guishan in one day, restore the Dawan Kingdom, and do something they had never dared to think of in ten years, and they were all surprised and delighted.

For the Huns to defend the enemy, Liu Ze didn't want to fight hard, whether it was a cavalry battle on the frontal battlefield or a forced siege, it would inevitably cause a large number of casualties on his side. It was he who ordered Pan Feng to lead 3,000 troops to the city of Guishan to lure the enemy, promising defeat but not victory, and leading the Xiongnu pursuers into the ambush ground. He also ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead 5,000 troops each, and set up ambushes on the east and west sides of the valley north of the second division city. He personally led a thousand cavalry, using the Xiongnu horses and armor captured in the upper valley of Bailing, disguised as a defeated Xiongnu army, and went straight to Guishan City. When the Huns defending the city saw this, they were not suspicious, and immediately opened the city gate and let them in.

After Liu Ze entered the city, he immediately took control of the city gate, and then the 10,000 troops lurking outside the city swarmed up and attacked the city. Although the Xiongnu soldiers in the city resisted stubbornly, but only 2,000 people, in the street battle after the loss of the city wall, and the combat strength of more than 10,000 troops could not be supported, and all of them were killed without much effort, and Liu Ze easily captured Guishan City.

As for Wu Anguo's ambush in Wulongling, it was Liu Ze's reserve hand, Liu Ze believed that even in the ambush battle in the valley, the coalition army with 13,000 troops might not be able to wipe out the fierce Hun soldiers, so he set up an ambush on the road to the east. As expected, the Huhe evil army was defeated and went east, and went to Wulongling, where the soldiers were trapped and the horses were lacking, and all of them were captured by Wu Anguo.

But Liu Ze did not dare to slack off, and reported that Hudun Shan Yu had repelled the attack of the Xianbei people in the Ulungu River, and it was nearly October, and the Xianbei people had already retreated. Although the Xiongnu did not have time to come west to attack Guishan City at this time, when the warm ice and snow melted in the spring next year, they would send troops from all over the country to attack Dawan. Next year's big war is inevitable, so we must hurry up our preparations now. Against the powerful Hun cavalry, Liu Ze didn't think that he could compete with it with the strength of the Nine Nations Alliance, in the field, the Hun cavalry was almost invincible, what to resist?

Liu Ze summoned a meeting of the leaders of the nine major tribes to discuss the next battle plan. Everyone discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a feasible plan. In fact, Liu Ze didn't expect them to come up with any clever plans, if there were really a few of them who were good at strategizing, why not that the 26 countries in the Western Regions were all killed by the Xiongnu.

Jia Xu faithfully performed his duties, relaying Liu Ze's words and the words of the leaders one by one, but the corners of his mouth skimmed with some cold ridicule. Although it was a casual expression, Liu Ze could see it clearly, presumably Jia Xu had a plan in his heart to deal with it, but with his current identity, he would never say it, and Liu Ze would not ask him. After all, this battle in the Western Regions is just an appetizer on his way to conquer the world, and even this is uneven, how can he be embarrassed in the face of the surging princes of the world in the future.

Liu Ze decisively set the defensive strategy of "accumulating grain and building the city high", relying on the walls of Guishan City and 100,000 Huns to defend the city. Some people also put forward opinions, if the Xiongnu army besieged the city, no matter how much food in the city was eaten, there would be a time when the Xiongnu army besieged for a long time, there was no grain and grass inside, and there were no reinforcements outside, sooner or later Guishan City would fall.

Liu Ze smiled slightly: "The enemies of the Huns, not only us, but also the Xianbei people on the Eastern Front are their great trouble. Although the battle of the Ulungu River was defeated by Xianbei, it does not mean that they admit defeat, I believe they will definitely make a comeback, if the Xiongnu army marches west to besiege Guishan City, the Xianbei people may not let go of the great opportunity of the emptiness in the Xiongnu. However, even if the Xianbei people don't accept the benefits of this fisherman, I also have a plan to break the enemy, but it is still a secret now, and it is not appropriate to disclose it, and you will naturally know it in the future. ”

After the meeting, Liu Ze immediately ordered to gather grain and grass, transport stones to build the city, and reorganize the army, and all actions were carried out immediately, and the above tasks must be completed before winter.

Because Guishan City changed hands in one day, there was a large amount of grain and grass in the treasury that could not be transported away, and all fell into the hands of the coalition army.
