Chapter 774 - Frightened
The mental journey experienced by Wang Yu and his generals is not known to outsiders, but the news of Juyong's great victory is like being blown by a strong wind, and with the defeat of the Xianbei army, it spreads throughout Youzhou in the blink of an eye. γpaitxt.comγ
Yu Ban and Badun got the news almost in no particular order.
The former was on the march when he encountered a scout sent by Wang Yu, so he changed his rapid march to a dragnet advance, and began to clear the remnants of the Hu cavalry in Shanggu and Daijun to consolidate the security in the territory.
The latter, on the other hand, received several messages with completely opposite meanings in ten days, and his mood was like riding a roller coaster.
The first letter is the information that before Wang Yu suddenly sent out troops, Jixian's eyeliner kept safe. Because Wang Yu sealed the city at that time, and arranged some rangers on the road to intercept and kill, forcing the messenger to go around in a big circle, slowing down the trip.
The two letters made it seem like a swing, up and down, and it was difficult to sit still.
What is the momentum of the horns?
What is a split attack?
Before the Battle of Juyong, the two armies of Xianbei and Karasuma put on such a posture, and they must have a good understanding of the other side and the enemy's movements, so that they can respond in time and call for the actions of the other side.
When Xianbei began to coerce Han people out of the fortress, Badun had already realized that this time he would go south and return in vain. However, he will not be discouraged by this, break into the side wall, and then be driven away by the Han army, this is an act that he and his ancestors have repeated countless times, the beginning and the result are similar every time, the difference is only the process and harvest.
The harvest of this operation is not small. It's not much, although it successfully broke through Luronse. It was unscrupulous and rampant in Youbeiping and Liaoxi, and once invaded the territory of Yuyang.
But Youbeiping and Liaoxi are not rich places. Not to mention that the population is very small, but there are many people who come to eat mixed rice, and grabbing that little thing is not enough to consume on the road.
There is no way, after the Hebei War, Gongsun Zhan transferred the administrative office to Hejian County, and many Han people had family members in the army, and they also followed, and most of those who stayed were zahu.
Originally, Yuyang was a relatively densely populated place in Youzhou. But before the Karasuma army stepped into the territory of Yuyang, Yan Rou suffered a big defeat, and the 20,000 army was beaten all over the ground by Tai Shici and the Qingzhou army.
He shuddered and withdrew his foot.
That's Yan Rou! Captain Karasuma, a number of heroes on the plug, although Bunton is also conceited and brave, he doesn't feel that he is much stronger than Yan Rou, at most he is just a little bit smart. Yan Rou was defeated so badly, could he sit back and relax?
Tai Shi Ci alone is nothing to be afraid of. This kind of thing as a sneak attack cannot be used as a conventional tactic, as long as there is a lesson, it can be avoided. The key is that Tai Shici still has the main army of Qingzhou behind him!
If the 50,000 troops are all at the level of the surprise attack troops, their own 40,000 troops are really not enough, even if the other party only exerts half of their strength.
He didn't immediately retreat. The main thing is to deal with the Xianbei people.
It is different from the Xianbei people who live in pursuit of water and grass and still maintain the true character of nomads. Although they are both descendants of Donghu, the Karasuma people surrendered to the inner annex as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is similar to the Huns of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in a semi-nomadic, semi-agricultural state.
Xianbei people were defeated out of Youzhou, pursued by the Han army, they can flee to the depths of the grassland, how far they want to escape, they can escape as far as they want, the big victory of Tanshi Huai against the Han army was after withdrawing more than 2,000 miles, and then launched a counterattack.
Karasuma didn't have this convenience, and they had already settled in the border area. In addition to the Wuhuan people of Liaoxi, Shanggu, Yuyang, Daijun, and Youbeiping are all inhabited by Karasuma people, and nearly half of the Zahu army are Wuhuan people.
If Wang Yu drove away the Xianbei people and raised troops to retaliate, he couldn't pat his ass and run away like the Xianbei people, so he could only choose between fighting to the death and leaving his homeland and being displaced.
Therefore, now helping the Xianbei people contain the Han army is to help themselves. If you slip away now, don't think about Xianbei people to help in the future, the reason is as simple as that.
For Badun, it is best for Wang Yu to stop and not move in Jixian County, of course, if he divides his troops to the west, it is not bad to outnumber. The most afraid is that it is now, suddenly the whole army will attack, and then the whereabouts are unknown? Can this also be considered intelligence!
He hesitated, and asked Yan Rou and Qi Zhou, these two were also scared by Wang Yu, and the two of them came up with a lot of possibilities, suspicious soldiers, luring the enemy, and living with reality and fiction, anyway, the more he listened, the more confused he became.
This hesitation is that seven days passed, and on the eighth day, Bun Dun finally took out the courage of Lord Wuhuan in Liaoxi, and decided to fight a shop, and the whole army attacked Jixian.
As a result, the troops are preparing to go on the expedition, and the third urgent report has also arrived, this time it is the Neiying of Jixian County. The news brought is, of course, the news that the Han army has won a great victory and the Xianbei army has been completely defeated.
It was as if someone had smashed the back of the head with a hammer, and there was a 'buzz' sound in my head, and my eyes were suddenly dark. This news is so terrifying, it's only been a few days? Counting the time spent on eyeliner reconnaissance and on the road, it took the Han army a day to march at most, and then it took half a day to defeat Xianbei's 100,000 army?
"How is that possible!?" Yan Rou shouted out for him, "That's an army of 100,000, and the leader is not stupid, how could he be defeated in one breath?" Han, isn't there only 20,000 people in the Qingzhou army? Even if they do come out of the nest, they can't be so powerful, right? β
"Actually......"
"That's right, Ahu, didn't your previous letter say that the Han army had been standing still in the city? If they had the ability to defeat the Xianbei army in one fell swoop, why didn't they do it earlier, why did they delay it so late? The messenger was about to speak, but as if he had found a life-saving straw, he asked.
"I don't know about this." The messenger was crying with a sad face, and he was also confused, if he could guess what Wang Yu was thinking, he would not only be able to be an eyeliner.
"Could it be that Wang Yu used some clever tricks? Is it a sneak attack? Or arson, water attack? Or...... Does he really have the spell to call the wind and rain and move mountains and reclaim the sea? Qi Zhou did not dwell on the question of the truth or falsity of the intelligence, but carried out divergent thinking. Think seriously about Wang Yu's way of winning.
As far as he knew, the disparity in strength had reached such an extent. This should be the only way to turn things around. It's just that he made a mistake in his busy schedule and didn't think about it at all. On this cold day, the camp of the Xianbei army was entrenched for thirty miles, and how much fire it took to burn them down in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, even the sea water was frozen, and how Wang Yu used the water attack strategy.
"No, it's not!" The messenger finally heard the question that could be answered, and he said with a hundred times the speed of the previous one: "According to the information the villain heard, it was a very simple battle. It was the Han army that attacked overnight, and the Xianbei army lined up to meet it, and then the Han army rushed up in a swarm, and after fighting for a long time, the Xianbei people were defeated......"
"Huh?" The boss's mouth was open, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground.
"Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible......" Yan Rou shook her head vigorously as if she was stunned. Throwing the pigtails full of his head like a merry-go-round, he muttered to himself, like Xianglin's sister-in-law who lost her son.
"This, this ......" Qi Zhou's lips trembled for a long time. Finally, he spat out a few words: "It turns out that there is such a clever plan!" β
"Goo-dong!" Before the words fell, I heard a loud bang and turned my head to look. But he sat down on the ground.
After hesitating and struggling for so many days, I suddenly heard such unbelievable bad news. Rao is also a determined person, and he can't hold on. The blow was too big, and it was a blow that followed after being tortured. The damage done is definitely double.
I don't know how long it took for a few people to regain their senses and begin to inquire in detail about the battle. That eyeliner actually knew very little, only that the contact on the upper side of the valley was broken, and then he asked about the battle situation from a few defeated soldiers who were panicked.
"It should be right, now Tai Shi Ci and Wei Yan's Hidden Mist Army is searching everywhere, killing those who see the beard, unless they are fast enough, throw away their weapons before the Han army kills them, kneel on the ground and ask for surrender, otherwise there is only one way to die...... It is said that Zhao Yun, who came out of the fortress, also fought fiercely, Mega was killed, Budugen was captured, and the entire Xianbei king's tent was captured......"
Before listening, Bunton and the others were twitching, and after listening, all that was left was trembling.
Bun Dun was frightened, Yan Rou and Qi Zhou were even more frightened, and proposed: "It's better to retreat in time." β
If they didn't mention it, he might have given the order himself, but now that Yan Rou and the others mentioned it, he hesitated a little: "Just leave?" Mobilize the people, but the work is fruitless, I, the adult, go back, how to face the fathers and elders of the clan? β
"......" Yan Rou and Qi Zhou glanced at each other, both wondering if Badun was so frightened that he went crazy, and he still thought about this? He asked tentatively, "What do you mean?" Want to take advantage of the fatigue of the main force of the Han army and take a handful before leaving? β
"That's not either." He shook his head in a panic, joking, the combat power of the Han army has gone against the sky, and it is not even in formation, and it can defeat the 100,000 army of Xianbei in a swarm of rushes, what is this person? If you don't retreat quickly, if you get entangled or cut off the way to retreat, you will definitely die an extremely ugly death.
"What do you mean by ......"
"We've got to find a way back, right?" He said in a hurry: "Whether the Han army will retaliate or not, I don't know yet, but if Wang Yu comes, we will definitely not be able to win, this is always right?" I'm wondering, Budugen isn't dead, can we ......"
"Your Excellency wants to descend?" Yan Rou jumped up and exclaimed.
"What else would you do? You can't beat it, you can't run it, you can't run to the end, right? He said with a sad face.
Yan Rou was silent.
Badun is afraid, why is he not afraid, but the problem is that Badun surrenders, and there may be a way to live, but he has no way to survive at all. Wang Yu called him, Liu Yu, and Xian Yufu traitors, and it was no wonder if they were caught and not cut by a thousand knives.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke: "If the adult wants to descend, it can't be imagined, but the adult must think clearly." Wang Yu is no better than the Han people who have dealt with adults in the past, and he will not change his course easily. Surrendering to him is certainly not about giving some gifts, saying some nice things, and making a show......"
"And what does he want?" He said in a panic: "Otherwise, I will send Lou Ban to him as a proton?" β
Lou Ban is Qiu Liju's son, and Ban Dun is just a slave, and he was only able to take power because the former was young, and sending Lou Ban to be a proton is a double win for him.
"It's useless." Yan Rou's eyes were full of pity, she shook her head and sighed: "Wang Yu doesn't value face, only pays attention to reality, think about it, he dares to swear not to be the emperor, he would rather be a real and nameless emperor, will he care about your proton?" β
"And what exactly does he want?" Badon was getting more and more agitated.
"Your power, your people, and your land! All you have left is one life! Yan Rou said that there was no basis for this, but he just wanted to scare Badun, but it coincided with Wang Yu's idea of pacifying the northern frontier.
If he hadn't been in power, he might have agreed to this condition, and now that he has been in power for several years, how could he give it up? Leaving only one life? Do you want to go back to herding and hunting?
Seeing the psychological changes in his eyes with cold eyes, Yan Rou said at the right time: "If the adults don't dislike Yan Rou, I have an idea here. β
"Really?" A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
"Actually......" Yan Rou leaned into a whisper in Bandun's ear, and nodded again and again.
By the time the two separated, Bun Dun had already recovered his usual demeanor, and waved his hand in high spirits: "Pass the order, withdraw the troops, and return to Liucheng!" ββ¦β¦)
