Chapter 304: Outflanking the Rear Road
The Chu army broke through.
At the junction of Luanshui and Wuding River, Xiang Zhuang and Gan Yong met unexpectedly, and the bloodied General Xiang had two ringing sticks hanging on his back, and the legs of the black horse under his crotch trembled, looking like he was about to die.
"Save the Overlord."
Xiang Zhuang fell suddenly, and behind him, more than 5,000 people of the Chu army who had finally managed to break out of the encirclement collapsed to the ground one by one, only caring about drinking the sweet spring handed over by the Qin army's generals.
This moment.
Qin and Chu, the soldiers of the two countries, are like a pair of siblings who don't like each other and have fought with each other several times, and when they face a common strong enemy, they actually join hands again.
Yanshan is located in the southwest of Jixian County, more than 100 miles.
This rolling mountain range was once one of the birthplaces of mankind, and between the rolling mountains and valleys, there is a beautiful grassland known as Bashang in later generations, where the wind blows the grass is low, and the cattle and sheep are full of herds, which is an ideal nomadic location.
Maudun is cunning.
The dam is located in the north of Yanshan, here from the road traffic conditions, it is easier to come from the northern grassland, which has also become the bridgehead for the Huns to attack Yandi, and the population and wealth plundered from Yandi are concentrated here by the Huns, and then transferred to Mobei.
At this time, it was in a deserted village only five miles away from the dam. A dormant squad of Qin troops is resting, and their mission is to track and find the resting place of the Huns, and to deal with the elusive steppe tribes like the Xiongnu, destroying its foundations, capturing its wives and children, so that they no longer have a chance to multiply.
After successively sending two armies, Gan Yong and Zhong Liwu, to attract the attention of the Huns, Li Yuan sacrificed a killer weapon. Several Qin army squads infiltrated the Yan Land early, and they had only one purpose, to find Su Buhun's camp.
Ji Xin was lucky.
After being selected by the Qin army, he was appointed as the leader of this search team, and now, there are seventy-two brothers under his command. All of them are veterans of battle, and they are trusted companions on the battlefield.
After being captured in the Tiger Prison Pass, Ji Xin stayed in the prisoner camp for a whole year, and at the beginning he still fantasized that the Chu State would redeem him, after all, his eldest brother was General Ji Bu, but this was a wasted old man, and there was no sound.
As time passed, Ji Xin's heart also faded. Even if the care of the Qin army was not so strict, he didn't think about returning to the state of Chu again. That country had already disappointed him and didn't want to play for it anymore. Just when Ji Xin was disappointed and helpless, a recruitment document brought him back to life.
This was a notice that the Qin army was recruiting generals to go to Yanbei, and in the case of a wider area, the strength of the Qin army became more and more tight, and in this case, Li Yuan decided to promote the soldiers from the prisoner camp.
Foreign wars.
It is the best excuse to unite people's hearts.
After Ji Xin joined the ranks of the Qin army, he soon discovered that among the Qin army, there were not only the old Qin people in the country, but also the Ba people, the Shu people and even the Zhao people.
"Season team rate. You see, there is a tent of the Hun barbarians over there, and there were a lot of Hun barbarians coming in and out just now, and there must be good things in it. "Ji Xin's side. A young Qin Army scout said softly.
"Whisper, scout carefully for a while, two dogs, you have fast feet. Later, come with me and go closer to the Hun camp to have a look. Ji Xin nodded.
Scouting the enemy.
The key is the accuracy of the information.
Ji Xin first joined the Qin army, and he was eager to show his ability with a beautiful merit. Therefore, he decided to observe for a while to determine whether this was really the rear base camp of the Huns.
The wind blows the grass low.
On the dam in autumn, a piece of golden, under the gust of autumn wind, the autumn grass on the grassland bows its head again and again, occasionally revealing the figure of a few cows and sheep, the white dome tent is dotted among the autumn grass, and the Xiongnu tribe women who come with the army are busy milking milk and mare's milk, so that the bursts of milk fragrance waft on the grassland.
The princess tent of Ning Hu Duanrong of the Daque clan was surrounded in a large group of tents, Ning Hu clan went out with the army this time, originally wanted to enter the city of Low Ji County with Mao Dun, and later heard that the plague was epidemic in the south, and even Mao Dun also fell ill, so he began to stay in the area of Ba Shang, waiting for the return of the Xiongnu army.
"Who?" Ji Xin took a few scouts, and just after lying dormant more than a thousand meters away from the Xiongnu princess's tent, he was discovered by the Huns patrolling the camp.
"It's not good, it's the Hun king's tent." Ji Xin snorted and hurriedly signaled the two dogs to retreat quickly.
"Whoosh!"
A chirping hammer swept past Ji Xin's ears with the sound of the wind, and suddenly shot the two dogs who were running in front of him to the ground.
"Brother Ji, this meritorious service is really not easy." A few drops of blood spurted out of Erzhuzi's mouth, and his eyes staring at Ji Xin gradually became unfocused.
"Retreat, go your separate ways!" Ji ordered in pain.
If he hadn't been so greedy for verification just now, the two dogs would not have died, but if he hadn't taken a closer look, how could he confirm that this was the princess's tent of the Huns.
――。
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.
In the process of calculating and being calculated, the Huns gradually reached the end of the crossbow.
In the open area between Yanshan and Yishui, the right valley Liwang Xu Buhun, who was responsible for commanding the main force of more than 100,000 people on the southern line of the Xiongnu, was anxious.
Luanshui Blockade Battle, Gan Yong's crossbow troops achieved brilliant results, so that more than 20,000 soldiers of the Huns lost their ability to fight, and Xu Buhun, who retreated from Luanshui, tried to lead his headquarters to block Li Yuan's reinforcements, but he didn't want to, and what he got one after another was bad news.
The Qin army rode from Jiuyuan to kill, Yuyang was lost, Xu Buhun had to send 30,000 cavalry to resist the attack of the Qin cavalry, and then, he was disappointed to receive the information that the Qin-Chu coalition army was killed from the east, and 20,000 soldiers were sent again, and when Li Yuan's middle route army arrived, the strength in Xu Buhun's hands had been sharply reduced to less than 30,000.
In terms of troops, the Huns no longer had any advantage, which made Su Buhun encounter the vanguard of the coalition army, Changshan Army, as soon as he encountered Zhong Liwu's onslaught.
Zhong Lifu.
In the past, there were several fierce generals in the Chu army, and the soldiers were known for their calmness, but this time, in order to rescue Xiang Yu, Zhong Liwu fought for his life.
The backbone of the Changshan Army was still the original Chu Army, and many of the generals were born in the area of Dongjun and Dangjun, and they had close contacts with the generals under Xiang Yu's command.
And more importantly, Zhong Liwu hoped to take advantage of this battle to play the prestige of the Changshan army, so as to get rid of the predicament of being able to succumb to a corner of Changshan in one fell swoop.
Selfishness and righteousness.
In this rescue, they were perfectly combined by Zhong Liwu.
Su Buhun, who tried to use the Huns' attack tactics to block the allied forces from moving north, fell into the evil of the Changshan army that had been recuperating for many days in the first confrontation with Zhong Liwu.
Zhong Liwu, who has rich combat experience, put on a anxious appearance on the march, the formation of the Changshan army is scattered like a long snake for several miles, in the eyes of Xu Buhun, it is full of flaws, as long as you choose a random section to attack, you can make the Changshan army suffer heavy losses.
In fact, Zhong Liwu was in the scattered formation, secretly ambushing the killing machine.
August 23rd.
Twilight.
The Xiongnu dispatched 10,000 rangers to attack the Changshan army, but they did not want to fall into the trap set by Zhong Liwu, who had already reached a tacit understanding with Li Yuan, used the Changshan army as bait, used chariots as weapons to block the enemy, and used the standard weapons eliminated by the Qin army as a tool to kill the enemy, and the Huns were entangled in the battle array and could not get out.
Most of the Qin army came from not far away, Li Yuan's Chinese army was fluttering in the wind, and Li Yuan, who had not been on the battlefield for a long time, personally led an army to kill in front this time.
Seeing the Shenwu Marquis personally marching, the morale of the Qin army was even higher, and the Huns, who were afraid of fighting in the face of the position, only fought for an hour, and left more than 3,000 corpses and fled to the depths of the vast Yan Mountain.
Subhun was severely damaged.
At this time, the closest to the dam of the Qin border riding Su Jiao also from Ji Xin got the real situation of the grassland on the dam, Ji Xin was chased by the Huns, escaped into the valley, after four days of searching, finally met Su Jiao, Yang Wengzi and others who were sweeping in the Yuyang area.
"Kill slaves!"
The great fighter plane was in front of him, how could Su Jiao let it go, and before he had time to ask Li Yuan for permission, he immediately led his headquarters to ride 9,000 people and quickly turned to the northeast, in front, Ning Hu Duanrong's Que clan tent was like a group of yellow sheep running helplessly on the grassland, so that the Qin cavalry saw the delicious temptation.
Twenty-fiveth.
Su Jiao led the left army over the Yanshan Mountains, and suddenly appeared in the area of the dam, the direction of the Qin army's march was strange to the Huns, who thought that Su Jiao would directly kill the Huns who stayed behind in Jixian to relieve the siege, but they did not expect that the Qin army would suddenly turn around and come towards the dam.
For a time, the dam was full of fires, countless tents were burned under the arson of the Qin people, and the Huns who stayed behind obviously did not expect that they thought that the hidden place would be exposed, and Ning Hu Duanrong was in a hurry, and even the valuables in the king's tent did not have time to pack, that is, under the protection of his own soldiers, he fled to the location of the Chinese army in Maodun.
More than 13,000 Hun women and children were captured by the Qin army, and the 2,000 Hun soldiers who protected were completely wiped out by the Qin cavalry except for a few who fled with the Ning Hu clan, and thousands of treasures were captured by the Qin cavalry.
"Ji team rate, you work hard again, report to Wuhou, just say that I have won a decisive victory while riding, and the Huns are finished." Su Jiao hahadaxiao, opposite him, the veteran Yang Wengzi also smiled so that his face wrinkled and trembled.
Finally, in front of the Huns, he raised his eyebrows and exhaled a sigh.
For the border soldiers who had been suppressed by the Huns for a long time, it was more worthy of celebration than military merits and rewards. (To be continued......)
