The cavalry in the world, with Liang and excellent, is the third in Youzhou, and Cao Cao's department will have to wait for it. However, this time he was sent to follow Shixun, although it was not a thousand choices, it was also the essence of the horse, and it was under the command of Xiahou Yuan, who was a good general and cavalry. In addition, although Xia Houlan is not a famous general, he has a calm temperament and rich experience, and he is also a rare tactical commander - otherwise, how could he have a good relationship with Zhao Yun, and later Zhao Zilong was willing to intercede for him?

In comparison, the Hun cavalry is not much to see. Indeed, Hu Qi once crisscrossed the grasslands and deserts, and the empire's territory was vast, and the force was strong, even surpassing the Mai Han Dynasty. However, from Wei and Huo Chusai to Chen Tang's beheading of Zhizhi, and Dou Gu and Geng Contempt Feng Le Yanran in the Later Han Dynasty, the backbone of this nation has been completely broken. After the Xiongnu divided the north and the south, the Northern Xiongnu escaped from the Western Regions, and the Southern Xiongnu moved into the Han land, and then Yu Fuluo was forced to go south to Pingyang, far away from the Saiwai grassland for many years, which made Hu Qi's Su zhì extremely landslide. Since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, under normal circumstances, the Central Plains is in turmoil, and the grassland peoples will inevitably rise accordingly and become a disaster for China, but at this moment it is Xianbei, Wuhuan, and even Shengqiang who occupy the grassland and flourish, but they do not do the things of the Xiongnu.

Because of this, Xiahou Lan has absolute confidence that he can lead the outnumbered people to defeat the Xiongnu Zuogu Liwang Division. In fact, when King Zuo Gu heard that the Han rode thousands, he had no intention of competing with him, so he sent envoys to negotiate on the one hand, and on the other hand, he asked King Zuo Xian to move closer to him, thinking that he should help. In these years, the organization of the Southern Xiongnu was scattered, not so much Hu Cai, but horse bandits, for fear of rash conflicts, they did not send sentinels to investigate. As a result, they were suddenly attacked. It was a mess right away.

The Yanzhou cavalry each had stirrups on their feet. The power of cavalry and archery far surpassed that of Hu Cai, and it was prepared but unprepared, so the first round of imminent shooting caused a casualty ratio of nearly one to ten. When the Xiongnu were defeated, they mistakenly thought that the number of enemy troops was several times that of their own, and in panic, they fled one after another - Pan Liuxi, the king of Zuogu Li, was no exception.

But it was Xun who had already ordered: "Shoot people first and shoot horses." Capture the thief and capture the king first. Therefore, Xiahou Lan led the cavalry, bows and crossbows, and at the same time, more than a dozen feathered arrows rushed to Pan Liuxi's mount. The horse neighed in sorrow and fell to the ground, Pan Liuxi rolled all over the dust, and finally struggled, but saw that most of the guards beside him had been stabbed to the ground by the Han soldiers with spears. He hurriedly pulled out the long knife at his waist, and wanted to resist, when he suddenly saw a person flying like a big bird, with his hands on his chest. He had already clamped his weapon firmly and could no longer pull it out.

This person is naturally the high-footed Sun Wen and Sun Yunan of the hero Deng Zhan. Sun Wen blocked Pan Liuxi's long knife with one move, and then flew up with a kick, knocking the famous Hun king to the ground. Immediately a soldier came up and held it firmly, and tied it firmly.

Shi Xun was guarded by several cavalrymen, far behind, he stepped on the stirrup, put his hand on the canopy, and looked in the direction of the battlefield, until he saw that Pan Liuxi was captured, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that his legs were sore, and he almost collapsed on the saddle bridge.

From launching the attack to achieving a complete victory, it was only a quarter of an hour before and after, the Yanzhou cavalry lost more than ten people, and more than 30 people were wounded, and Hu Cai was killed nearly 100 - those who were wounded and difficult to walk were all mended with knives - more than ten people under Pan Liuxi, the king of Zuogu Li, were captured, and the rest were dispersed.

Xia Houlan came to ask Shixun: "Do you want to continue to catch up?" Shi Xun shook his head again and again: "Most of King Zuo Xian doesn't know when he will arrive, how dare he chase him?" I'll wait and retreat, and go back to Yanshi! ”

Yanshi County Ling's surname is Qi, originally a small official in Guanxi, after Li Dao and Guo Yan seized Chang'an, he offered a lot of money and obtained the position of this ink ribbon chief. This person is greedy and cowardly, treats the people like tigers and wolves, and treats the strong like loyal dogs, originally heard that the Son of Heaven escaped the control of Li and Guo, and Dong Cheng was ordered to stay in Luoyang first, so he was already frightened and flew out of the sky, and quickly gave half of his family wealth to bribe Dong Cheng. This time, hundreds of elite horsemen in Yanzhou drove to the city, he didn't dare to resist, and he didn't dare to turn a blind eye, so he quickly summoned the fathers and elders in the city, and the pot pulp came out to reward. It's just that at that time, Shixun didn't have any intention of staying in Yanshi, so he didn't enter the city, and he didn't feel too embarrassed for him.

Now that the Yanzhou elite cavalry has returned to Yanshi, it has unceremoniously burst into the city. Shi Xun immediately seized the seal of the Qi County Order, and requisitioned the people to go to the city to help defend against the surging Hun pursuers. He also asked Xiahoulan and others to publicize the evil deeds of the Xiongnu slaughtering villages in the city, and at the same time claimed that the Yanzhou army would come to help in a day or two, warning the people that they would die if they broke the city, and they could live if they defended the city.

Similar to these techniques, they were all the wisdom of Xun Yu and others to defend Juancheng that day, and Xun copied them, and the effect was not bad.

He originally thought that the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang's department was not far away, and he would soon be killed, but he didn't see anyone coming on the left, and he didn't see anyone coming on the right, and he waited until it was dark, and he didn't even see a single Hun hair. Shi Xun was not very relieved, and repeatedly told Xiahou Lan: "You must guard against the night attack of the Huns, you must not relax, and you must defend tightly." "Xia Houlan said that you can rest assured that you are engaged in it, and the city guard matters are all handed over to the last general.

But where can Xun relax, this night is tossing and turning, until the fourth watch did he fall asleep in a daze. It's a pity that I didn't sleep for a long time, and I was woken up by Sun Wen - "The Hun army has arrived, and there is a messenger shouting under the city, how should I deal with it?" ”

Shi Xun got up in one go: "How else to deal with it?" Hurry up and take Pan Liuxi's captives to the city! "These are all hostages in Lao Tzu's hands, and the other party must be made clear first.

Not only Pan Liuxi and other Hun prisoners were escorted to the city, but Shi Xun himself was also bold and went to the city to see it in person. I saw that the flags outside the city were densely packed, and all the black pressure was cavalry, eighty percent were Hu cavalry, and some seemed to be Han cavalry—maybe the soldiers and horses of the Zhang Yang headquarters—total...... He turned his head and asked Xiahoulan, "How many men and horses do you estimate the enemy army?" Xiahoulan replied: "It's always up and down with five thousand riders." ”

Damn, it's several times more than Lao Tzu expected! He originally saw that Pan Liuxi was a famous king on the left side of the Huns, and there were only hundreds of horses under his command, so he thought that there were not many people in the Zuoxian Wang's department, and one or two thousand horsemen reached the sky, but he didn't expect that there were so many! It's this remorse in Xun's heart, I knew that I wouldn't conflict with them...... But there is nowhere to touch the regret medicine, and since it has come to this point, it has to be done...... Let's fight with them!

With a closer look at the awning, his heart was a little more steady. Although the enemy army was blocked outside the west gate, there was no sign of camping, nor was there any preparation for cutting down wood to make siege equipment. I don't know if these Hu cavalry don't know the art of siege at all, or if the hostages at the head of the city played a role, and they didn't dare to storm it for a while. After all, he is hiding behind the strong city wall, and if the enemy army does not come to attack the city, what is so terrible about the number of them? Do they still think that they will go out of the city to fight and die?

I heard a Hun cavalry under the city shouting: "The people in the city have listened, and quickly send the king of Zuogu Li out, otherwise after our army breaks the city, we will definitely kill it cleanly, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, turned his head to look at the captives, picked a person under Pan Liuxi, dressed more gorgeously, and ordered Xiahou Lan: "Cut off the head of this dog and throw it out of the city!" ”

Seeing the bloody head rolling to the horse's hooves, the Hun envoy couldn't help but gasp, and his mouth softened slightly: "You only need to send the king of Zuogu Li, just promise, and our army will retreat immediately." ”

What did Xun Yi hear? Promises alone? Immediately lying on the fortress and shouting: "Could it be that Shan Yu has also arrived here?" The Hun envoy under the city tilted his head and put his hand in his ear: "What are you talking about?" Be louder! ”

It was Xun who called Sun Wen and said that you can help me shout, what I say, you can learn what you want, and you can't change a word. Sun Wen agreed, and immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Could it be that Shan Yu has also arrived in the city?" Shi Xun felt a "buzzing" in his ears, and quickly took two steps back to the side, a little farther away from Sun Wen. He said in his heart that the loud voice I have seen, the first has to be Zhang Sanye, and the second is your brother.

Of course, the envoy heard Sun Wen's shout clearly, and immediately replied: "Exactly, my family Shan Yu and Zuo Xian Wang have arrived here, and the Right Xian Wang's troops will also come to reinforce them. When you refuse to send the king of Zuogu Li, you will surely die! ”

It was Xun Xin who said that it was no wonder, almost all the main forces of the Southern Huns had arrived, and the five thousand cavalry were really not much. He blinked his eyes, turned his mind slightly, and immediately called Sun Wen to shout: "And please come and talk!" ”

The city and the city pulled the skin for a long time, and finally agreed, the Hun cavalry all retreated two arrows, only Shan Yu led a hundred horsemen out of the battle, and Shi Xun also led a hundred horsemen out of the city, and Shan Yu negotiated in person. Originally, after the previous battle, Shi Xun's confidence in these Cao Wei cavalry under his command was greatly increased, and he was quite contemptuous of the Huns, thinking that one hundred against one hundred, we must win. I didn't expect to go out of the city, so I heard Xiahou Lan warn in a low voice: "Only those hundred horsemen are determined to be their cronies and warriors, and in the eyes of the last general, our side seems to have no chance of winning......"

Nani? When Xun heard this, Hao Xuan didn't immediately dial the horse's head and fled back to the city. He hurriedly looked ahead, only to see a long-bodied man straddling a horse under the wolf's head, standing proudly, presumably it was the Southern Hun Shan Yu Fuluo, and the hundred knights around him, all of them were iron helmets and iron armor, just looking at the equipment, they were not under the Han soldiers. Oh no, Lao Tzu won't die in the city today, right?

It's okay, it's good that Lao Tzu has a hostage in hand...... But did the Huns really value family affection? Would it be better to break the king of Zuogu Li than to take Lao Tzu's life to repay this humiliation? He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Sun Wen who was following him. Sun Wen understood what he meant, and hurriedly patted his chest and said: "Wen is dead, and he must protect Mr. Safety!" ”

It was Xun Chang who took a breath and calmed down slightly, so he dared to slowly take the horse and approach the Xiongnu Shan Yu. I saw that Shan Yu Fuluo pouted his lips with an arrogant face, and sneered: "I heard that the people of the Central Plains are the most polite. Ben Dan Yu is in your Han land, just like a vassal king, what kind of official are you, how did you see Ben Dan Yu refused to get off the horse and salute?! ”

Shi Xun arched his hand on horseback: "If it is really the Huns who are here, they will be humble officials and pay homage as a big salute." But are you really single? Please bring the golden seal canonized by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty and check it. ”

If you don't say this, it's just that, as soon as the words came out, Yu Fuluo couldn't help but stand upside down, his beard was raised, and he was so angry that the three corpse gods jumped violently! (To be continued)
