Chapter 498: Rescuing the Captives
Yan Kingdom, a plain area in the south of Zaoyang City, north of Jicheng and west of Yuyang City.
"Stop!"
A sharp-eyed Hun general suddenly raised his hand and shouted, giving an order to stop the army.
Before long, six or seven Hun generals surrounded him from the rear, and one of them asked puzzledly:
"Guduhou! Why stop the army? ”
The Hun general, who was called the Marquis of Gudu, said with a gloomy look in his eyes:
"I just received the news that Zaoyang City has not been taken, and half a day ago, the besieging 100,000 troops were all defeated!"
The generals were first startled, and then hesitated.
"How is this possible? There are only 30,000 remnants left in Zaoyang City, why haven't the 100,000 troops been taken? ”
The Bone Marquis shook his head and said:
"The specific situation is not yet clear, but the reply to the Captain Dadu has already given an order, ordering us to wait here, the Captain Dadu is mobilizing troops and horses, and I believe that the retreat will be opened soon!"
"Gudu Hou, the Yan army has low combat strength and weak soldiers, and we also have 20,000 troops here, so we don't need to wait for the Dadu Lieutenant to send troops to come.
It is better to give the young general 10,000 cavalry, and the young general will take the city in the shortest possible time! ”
Seeing that one person asked for an order, the rest of the people also spoke.
After all, military merit is a symbolic thing, and who wouldn't want more?
The Gu Duhou frowned, hesitated for a while, but shook his head and said:
"Forget it, our task is to escort the captives and supplies, and there is no need to make any extraneous troubles.
Those treasures and the like aside, these hundreds of thousands of captives alone are enough to give people a headache.
Although they may not dare to resist, it is also a trouble if someone provokes it.
In this way, the army went west to camp on the river beach of Zhishui, and it was not too late for the army to continue to return after taking the city of Zaoyang. ”
The generals couldn't help but be disappointed when they heard this, but they could only obey orders.
Among the dozen or so captive dragons connected by iron chains and ropes, there were hundreds of people who kept sighing in frustration......
"What the hell is going on here? It's too messy, right?
This ghost place is simply messy, I originally thought that this Yan Country was the Yan Country of the Warring States, but now it seems that it is not at all!
How could the Yan Kingdom be so weak and casually attacked by the Xiongnu to break through the capital? ”
"Yes, I think that Yan Guo has Le Yi, Qin Kai and other powerful generals, no matter how bad it is, it will not be like this.
Come to think of it, this Yan country must not be another Yan country! ”
"It's hateful to waste a chance to cast an effect!"
"Whew! I said, dude, your heart is really big enough, and you still think about some unrealistic things at this time, now you still have to think about how to save your life! ”
"I wonder if that Feng Wuji has entered this small world? If he had come in, what would be the situation now? ”
Hearing this, the dozen or so embarrassed players who were connected together were silent for a while.
Feng Wuji, that is no longer an existence that they can touch, because it is not a human at all, it is simply a god!
During the Three Kingdoms period, which one was not a hero of the world, and which one was not a legend?
Think of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, what a legendary existence?
But these people can't compete against a Feng Wuji! And it was given by others to unify the entire Eastern Han Dynasty in such a short period of time!
Some of them participated in the siege of Wuji City, and some participated in the siege of the Luoyang army, but how they were defeated, they are still confused when they think about it at this time!
It is no miracle that a player without any background of power actually started from scratch and won the entire Eastern Han Dynasty in just half a year, this is simply a fantasy!
After a long silence, one of the players suddenly sneered:
"The reason why Feng Wuji was able to get to that point was nothing more than luck.
If he doesn't come in this time, if he does, hehe, see how he dies!
Without the support of the army, without the advice of Guo Jia and others, and without the protection of those fierce generals of Dian Wei, let alone this chaotic world, even we players will never let him have a good time!
I believe that no one can refuse this kind of beating of water dogs.
After all, the sense of accomplishment of being able to trample that demonic figure of the reigning dynasty under his feet is simply insane!
If only I could stomp Feng Wuji under my feet and stomp on his face hard...... Hey, it's exciting to think about! ”
More than a dozen people on the side nodded in agreement, but some stared at them speechlessly like idiots......
At this moment, a Hun cavalry came over.
Syllable!
"Ahh
The player who was caught up in the middle of the game was slapped on the back with an iron whip, and a scream erupted.
"Humph! If you dare to speak again, uncle, I will definitely unload your legs! ”
Seeing this, the rest of the people hurriedly distanced themselves from the player, and closed their mouths tightly and lowered their heads......
The sun is in the west, and the season of August here is already a little cold.
On the east bank of the water, the crowd of black-pressed people cowered together, including soldiers in tattered armor, officials in official uniforms, but also old and weak women and children.
Except for some of the Hun cavalry who remained to watch over the captives, the rest of the people scattered, some set up arrows and tents, some collected water, and some fell asleep.
In the 30-zhang wide water-control river, the water flows quietly without turbulence, as if it corresponds to this quiet heaven and earth.
However, at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled strangely and slightly, and as time passed, the signs of this tremor became more and more obvious.
The Hun cavalry was suddenly startled, and with the sound of trumpets and drums, the Hun soldiers who had scattered in all directions immediately returned to their respective positions.
However, in this chaos, people are blocking people, but it is even more chaotic, and it is difficult to form a formation quickly.
Most of the Hun cavalry were still running in search of their queues and horses, but on a slope a few miles away from the White Fang, there was already a dense cavalry figure.
After crossing the slope, the cavalry did not stop at all, but increased the speed of their horses by the force of the descent, and swarmed in this direction;
And in the rear, there are more cavalry constantly appearing, and it seems as if there is no boundary.
Gu Duhou, who had just stepped on the war horse, couldn't help but change his face greatly, the other party's outfit was a little strange, and the armor he was equipped with looked very good;
What's more, there are many of them wearing the armor of the Yan army!
Could it be that the Yuan and Han dynasties sent reinforcements? It is precisely because of this that the city of Zaoyang has not been breached?
Thinking of this, Na Gu Duhou couldn't help but panic even more.
Since the 100,000 troops were defeated by the opponent's reinforcements, how could they resist with their more than 20,000 people?
What's even worse is that he carelessly did not arrange a sentry for patrol, so that now the array is in chaos, and it is difficult to organize it in a short period of time.
But at this time, the arrow had to be launched, but he could only give the order to meet it.
After all, the Hun cavalry was well-trained, and although they had only gathered more than 3,000 people, they still roared and recoiled under the order to meet them.
Because they knew very well where the strength of the cavalry was.
If they don't catch up and give full play to their speed and collision advantages, then what awaits them is only the end of being slaughtered!
The battle broke out soon, and the person who rushed to the forefront of the mysterious army was even more like a madman, and a war knife made it superb, and often the Hun cavalry was beheaded on the spot before he could react.
And although the cavalry in the rear seemed to be much worse than the Hun cavalry, with the help of the armor and sharp weapons, they were also half a catty.
Coupled with the huge numerical superiority, the three thousand Hun cavalry were quickly drowned in it.
The Hun lord was killed in battle, and the cavalry on the three thousand on-board was no longer visible, and the Hun cavalry, which had not yet gathered, suddenly began to flee.
The rout could no longer be avoided, and under the setting sun, the blood was inexhaustible, mixed with the surging of the river, and gradually disappeared without a trace.
From the beginning to the end of the war, it was only half an hour, and the Hun cavalry finally escaped only two or three thousand people.
The hundreds of thousands of captives were already disheartened and completely desperate, but they never expected that they would be desperate, and the huge surprise even made them forget the exhaustion and injuries on their bodies, and they actually cheered indulgently.
"Fengchen!"
"In!"
"Order 3,000 cavalry to escort them back to Zaoyang City, and arrange for twenty teams of sentry cavalry to scatter to guard, and the rest of the people quickly clean up the battlefield and gather supplies and war horses!"
"No!"
Fengchen respectfully responded to the order, and the excitement in his expression was difficult to suppress.
It was so easy for him to accept that victory would come so easily......
The Xiongnu occupied a large and vast pasture, and most of the horse farms were under their control.
The Huns did not lack war horses at all, and the main force was cavalry, but their Yan country only had tens of thousands of war horses in total, and it cost a lot of money to get them.
Therefore, in the face of the Hun cavalry, they could only passively defend the city.
More than 50,000 uninjured horses were obtained in the first battle of Zaoyang City, and when Feng Yi proposed that the army should all ride war horses to attack, Feng Chen was very shocked and resolutely opposed;
Because most of the soldiers of Yan Guo are foot soldiers, they don't have much experience in horse warfare at all, and it is already good to be able to travel on horses, so how can they fight?
But Feng Yi took out a lot of fine armor and weapons, and there were more than 50,000 pairs of things that he called stirrups and saddles, which made him dare to agree.
And it turned out that this Feng Wuji was definitely sent by the heavens to help them, because everything about him seemed so incredible.
The two big victories in a row have already made Fengchen completely convinced and in awe of Feng Yi.
And after this battle, they will harvest another seventy or eighty thousand soldiers who can fight, perhaps, it may not be really impossible to drive the Huns out?
