Chapter 567: Raid on Tuyuhun Army

It's just that Ma Qiu miscalculated two points, the first is to underestimate the combat power of the Jin army, and he doesn't understand the fact that the Jin army has a secret weapon, as a result, Jicheng was occupied by the Jin army in a very short period of time, and his main army was also defeated one after another, so he was forced to retreat to Guanzhong by small road, while the main force of the Jin army immediately withdrew to the vicinity of Wudu County.

The second is that he believed in Tuyuhun too much, thinking that Tuyuhun would cooperate with him to send troops on time, and as a result, for his own interests, Tuyuhun postponed the date of the expedition for more than half a month for various reasons, so as to avoid Hua'an from being attacked from both sides on a certain distance.

Although Tuyuhun was a step late, Hua'an was still shocked into a cold sweat, if it weren't for his quick victory, he had already led the army back, and with only the 20,000 troops of the thunderstorm, he could only form a tug-of-war with Tuyuhun at most, and might even lose some cities.

In the tent, Wang swore to look at the envoy of Zhao State, and said softly: "Starting tomorrow, the main army of Tuyuhun will attack Wudu City with all its might, I believe that within a few days, Wudu City will definitely be taken, as long as Wudu City is captured, it can be regarded as controlling half of Wudu County, and when Wudu County is fully mastered, the main force of the Jin army will never come back." ”

"Hahahaha!" When the envoy of Zhao heard this, he laughed loudly.

Seeing that Wang Oath said the specific time of the second day of the siege of Tuyuhun's army, a sneer appeared on the corner of Hua An's mouth, so that he could lead the army to sneak attack Tuyuhun's siege army from the rear at the right time.

"General, let's go, someone is coming." At this moment, the soldiers whispered a warning.

Hua'an heard this. Hurriedly stepped on the war horse as if nothing happened, and then took his own soldiers to patrol outside the camp, and after patrolling outside the camp for a while, Hua An took his own soldiers, taking advantage of the fact that the rest of the Tuyuhun sentry riders were not paying attention, rode his horse into the woods, and then went straight to the camp.

This adventure into the Tuyuhun camp can be said to have gained a lot, and I heard very important information, among them. The most important information. Naturally, it was the preparation time for the second day of the siege of the Tuyuhun army.

After returning to the camp, Hua'an didn't have time to rest, and thought about the plan for the second day's attack overnight, with 40,000 main forces. Thirty thousand were cavalry. There were only 10,000 infantry. And when attacking, the infantry will definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of the cavalry, for this. Hua'an decided to lead only 30,000 cavalry to raid the Tuyuhun siege army, and let the 10,000 infantry ambush in advance at the position where the Tuyuhun army might pass when it was defeated, so as to give a second fatal blow.

To the west of Wudu City is the Western Han River, and the main army of Tuyuhun is to build a pontoon bridge on the Western Han River, so as to arrive at the Wudu City along the lĂŹ, if its army is defeated, except for the Western Han Water with a pontoon bridge, they really have no other way to escape.

For this reason, Hua'an decided to let the 10,000 infantry under his command ambush on the west side of the pontoon bridge in advance, the place where the Tuyuhun rout must pass, and planted a large amount of black powder there, so as to blow up the remnants of the Tuyuhun army who had fled here and turn over on their backs, which greatly dealt a blow to their vital forces.

After thinking of the strategy, Hua An immediately ordered: "Come on, go and invite General Chen Ting." ”

When the soldiers heard the order, they hurriedly went to invite.

Soon, Chen Ting arrived at Hua'an's Chinese army tent, saw Hua'an and hugged his fists and said, "General, it's so late, is there anything important?" ”

Hua An pointed to the map in front of him, and said: "General Chen, look, this is the ferry port of the Western Han River, the Tuyuhun army laid a pontoon bridge here, and sent a small number of troops to garrison it, five miles west of the ferry, is a large open land, surrounded by woods, very suitable for the army to ambush. ”

"The general is planning to let the last general lead the army to ambush here." Chen Ting immediately understood what Hua An meant.

Hua An nodded, and said: "That's right, as long as Ben will lead 30,000 cavalry to raid the Tuyuhun army, the main army of Tuyuhun will inevitably be defeated, at that time, their only escape path is the Western Han River Ferry, and after the crossing, they will definitely assemble in this open area, Ben will let you lead the army to ambush here in advance, wait for them, and bury all the black powder of the whole army in this open area, you must give me a hard blow to Tuyuhun's arrogance." ”

"Don't worry, general, the last general understands." Chen Ting was indignant.

Hua An sighed and said softly: "Tomorrow, the Tuyuhun army will attack Wudu City, and will lead the army to raid the Tuyuhun army at the same time, around noon, the Tuyuhun army will definitely be completely defeated, and flee to the west of the Western Han River one after another, so, time is relatively urgent, General Chen, you will now lead 10,000 infantry to cross the Western Han River from the upstream, and then go to this open land to prepare, use the night to march, or avoid the detection of the Tuyuhun scouts, go quickly!" ”

"The last will obey." Chen Ting clenched his fists and turned to leave the Chinese army's tent.

The 10,000 infantry who were resting in the camp were urgently assembled, and after half an hour, all the soldiers were ready, and then, Chen Ting led 10,000 infantry, carrying all the black powder, to quietly cross from the upper reaches of the Western Han River, and all the way to the predetermined position.

In order to hide people's eyes, the 10,000-strong army did not raise torches, but quietly moved forward under the cover of moonlight.

After the 10,000 army left the camp, Hua An's heart settled down a lot, at this time, it was already the middle of the night, Hua An returned to the back tent to rest.

On the second day, the main army of 50,000 Tuyuhun had been assembled, and the troops were divided into three routes, from the west, south, and north, to attack Wudu City.

At this time, in the Jin army camp more than ten miles northwest of Wudu City, the soldiers had just begun to enjoy breakfast.

The reason why Hua'an is not in a hurry to gather men and horses is to let the soldiers have abundant energy and can exert more strength in the battle, anyway, Wudu City will not be breached in a short time, and secondly, let the Tuyuhun army lose a certain amount of sharpness and body in the siege, so as to be more conducive to their own attack.

Halfway through the hour, the soldiers of the Jin army were ready and waiting for Hua An's orders, while Hua An listened to the report of his own soldiers in the big tent.

After a whole night of interrogation, the Tuyuhun Sentinel had successively told some information, and these circumstances were basically the same as the situation that Hua An had detected in the Tuyuhun camp, which further affirmed Hua An's judgment, so that Hua An was determined to teach Tuyuhun a hard lesson.

"General, the three armies are ready to go on the expedition." At the end of the day, a general went to the big tent to remind Hua'an that the time had come.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded, strode away from the big tent, and walked outside the tent.

Seeing that the 30,000 cavalry under his command were ready to go, Hua An smiled with satisfaction, stepped on the war horse, stretched out his hand, and ordered: "Soldiers, go." After speaking, he rode his horse in the direction of Wudu City.

The distance of more than ten miles is really nothing for the cavalry, and soon, the 30,000 cavalry led by Hua'an arrived near Wudu City.

Looking at the ongoing offensive and defensive battle ahead, Hua An felt the fierceness of the battle, and witnessed the fierceness of the Tuyuhun army.

"Big brother, the Tuyuhun army is attacking Wudu City, this is an opportunity, our army will rush over!" Wang San pleaded for his life.

"General, there are 10,000 Tuyuhun troops in the direction of the north gate, and there are 30,000 in the direction of the west gate. Zhuge Xiong asked loudly.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Hua An's mouth, and he ordered: "Zhuge Xiong, you lead the 5,000 Wudang Fei Army to raid the 10,000 Tuyuhun army at the north gate, and the rest of the main force will follow the general to the direction of the west gate and raid the main army of Tuyuhun." ”

"Yes, General." Zhuge Xiong answered, and led 5,000 Wudang Fei troops to kill in the direction of the north gate.

"Soldiers, come with me and kill ......" Hua An shouted, and personally led an army of 25,000 to ride his horse to kill the main army of Tuyuhun at the west gate.

"Kill ......," the soldiers shouted and slaughtered the Tuyuhun army.

The Tuyuhun army, which was attacking Wudu City, soon discovered the main force of the Jin army that had suddenly attacked, and they were all taken aback, and hurriedly ordered to stop the siege.

But the main force of the Jin army has already killed behind them, and it is obviously too late to prepare at this time.

The soldiers of the Jin army who were defending the city in Wudu City, when they saw the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted, and they worked harder to defend the city.

"Soldiers, kill the enemy with all your might, and leave no one behind." Hua'an gave the harshest order and personally charged ahead.

The speed of the war horse was undoubtedly very fast, and not long after the charge, the main force of the Jin army inserted into the weakest part of the rear of the Tuyuhun army's formation, and started a fight.

Hua An wielded the glaive knife in his hand, slashing left and right, constantly harvesting the lives of Tuyuhun soldiers, and the army under his command also killed the enemy with all his might.

Although the Tuyuhun army has a large number of troops, its formation has been destroyed by the Jin army and cannot form an effective resistance, while the Jin army is vigorous and brave the more they fight.

After a period of fighting, the Tuyuhun army suffered heavy losses, the formation had completely collapsed, and many soldiers began to flee in the direction of the ferry.

The commander of the Tuyuhun army, seeing that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, hurriedly ordered his soldiers to retreat in the direction of the ferry to preserve their strength.

"Soldiers, pursue with all your might, and leave no one behind." Seeing that the Tuyuhun army wanted to run, Hua'an naturally would not let it go.

At this time, the defenders on the wall of Wudu City, seeing the defeat of the Tuyuhun army, were overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the city and rushed out of the city to help the main army.

Seeing that the defenders in the city went out of the city to help in the battle, the morale of the Jin army was even higher, and they pursued in the direction of the ferry with all their might.

Hua'an led the main army to chase and kill all the way, annihilating a large number of Tuyuhun soldiers, when passing through the Tuyuhun camp, Hua'an divided some soldiers to kill people in the camp, and after clearly dropping a small number of soldiers left behind, all the materials of the entire battalion were captured to supply themselves.

There are several pontoon bridges at the ferry, and the Tuyuhun soldiers who escaped for their lives ran to the pontoon bridge one after another, and ran along the pontoon bridge to the opposite side of the West Han River. (To be continued......)
