Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Reaction of the Southern Xiongnu
If the two armies fought to the death a few days ago, they would have set aside some time for the dead on both sides to recover the bodies. So today, corpses are everywhere, and I am afraid that it is the most appropriate description. The corpses of the two armies fighting each other on the city wall were densely piled up together and used as rolling stones by the Han army, what morality, in the case of life cannot be guaranteed, all go to hell!
At this time, the cheapest thing is life, an arrow, a knife, a gun can easily take a person's life. The soldiers on both sides, even some of the small commanders who were close to the third rate in force, could not guarantee that they would survive this terrible battle for a few days, maybe it was a stray arrow, maybe it was a dark spear, maybe it was ......
At this moment, in addition to Cao Xing's generals above the level, how can they have the ability to keep a spear that is always vigilant in this chaotic army fight. The brave and unparalleled Dian Wei can only ensure that the city wall of more than ten meters around him is not lost in the crowd of people, and Chen Qingzhi and Cao Xing probably have this ability together. Although it is said that this city wall is only more than 100 meters, who can guarantee the remaining section? What's more, Dian Wei, Chen Qingzhi, and Cao Xing still need to take turns to rest and recuperate, and they can't keep an eye on the city wall all the time. So at this time, the main force still has to say that there are more than 7,000 soldiers left, but in this tragic offensive and defensive battle, now the soldiers killed in the battle are almost 3,000 people, and almost everyone else is wounded, and then looks at the 10,000 troops around the king's tent that have not been used from beginning to end, Meng Li clearly knows that at this moment, as long as he accidentally loses all the plates, the embankment of thousands of miles will be destroyed in the anthill. Once a battlement is breached, then the current combat strength of the self-army will cause irreparable results.
"Lord, you can rest and rest, here I will take you in command." The detached young man is gone, and now Guo Jia is also wearing light armor and holding a sword, and his blood-red eyes also show that he hasn't had a good night's sleep recently. Although the gentleman's fencing skills in the six arts are not high, it is better than those Tuhaha soldiers!
"Alas, the Northern Huns can hardly fight anymore except for the 10,000 troops around the king's tent, but our soldiers are no better, and the final decisive battle is just between the slightest trace of what you let Lone sleep!" No one could have imagined that this was the high-spirited Yannan Hou Mengli some time ago.
"Hehe, too. Who can fall asleep now! At this time, the generals around them no longer took turns to rest, but all scattered at the battlements to prevent the final blow of the enemy.
"But when it comes to filial piety, Wen Yuan should go and send the soldiers of the Southern Huns to return." Calculate the time, Zhang Liao since the ambush of the vanguard of the Northern Xiongnu went straight to the station of the Southern Xiongnu, now 6 days have passed and there is no news, as long as the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Southern Xiongnu are put into the battlefield at this time, the Northern Xiongnu who has 10,000 fresh troops will also be destroyed in an instant!
……
Speaking of two ends, Zhang Liao, who had been hurrying for days, led 3,000 elite soldiers to the garrison of the Southern Xiongnu. To say that the dispatch is a bit inappropriate at this time, after all, although the Xiongnu are not in harmony between the north and the south, the southern Xiongnu, who have always been weak, will put aside their fear and fight with all their might, and what is even more terrifying is that the northern and southern Xiongnu will divide up the various cities of Yannan Road after they join the customs.
Therefore, the purpose of Zhang Liao leading 3,000 elite cavalry is not only to ambush the vanguard army of the Northern Xiongnu, but more importantly, to establish the prestige of the Southern Xiongnu tribe who have heard that the Northern Xiongnu have come out of the nest and changed people's minds, and to state that they will let go of their hands to fight to the death with the Northern Xiongnu.
In this way, not only can win the victory of this battle, but also tie the Southern Xiongnu tribe who offended the Northern Xiongnu to the chariot of Yannan Road, the reason for this is that when Guo Jia and Xu Shu discussed, they should not only send a powerful general to establish authority and convince people, but also need a strategist to use their mouths to help. After all, no one wants to do such a thankless job, not to mention the Southern Huns, who have always been sandwiched between the Northern Huns and the Han army. The most feared thing is to work and watch the battle situation, waiting to pick up the grass and beat the rabbit to obtain a large area of land and population in one fell swoop, so the sharp mouth of the strategist is very important in this mission.
"General Wenyuan, in front is the camp of the king and company of the Southern Huns, for a while, the power must be based on it, but don't hurt people so as not to destroy the lord's plan, I hope the general will master the scale!" Xu Shu on the side thought about it, although he knew that Zhang Liao was not a reckless man, but he couldn't help but remind him, the success or failure of this overall battle lies in this, and the situation of this battle was ruined by will, not only did Yannan Dao lose, but we were even more homeless.
"A certain family is awake, and when Wei is established, it depends on Mr. Yuan Zhi's sharp mouth, how he cleverly promises a blank check to make the Southern Huns surrender to us!" Zhang Liao, who replied to Xu Shu without being soft or hard, thought that it seemed that Xu Shu looked down on him, is he the kind of reckless man who doesn't care about the consequences when his mind is hot! He also knew the importance of this mission.
"Alas~" Xu Shu, who also knew that he was multi-hearted, shook his head with a wry smile, he also knew that Zhang Liao was not such a person. But the stakes are still a lot of chatter. It's probably just that I'm too nervous to encounter such a big event. This is not advisable, Xu Yuanzhi, be calm and calm down! Normal heart, normal heart! Otherwise, how to deal with the following challenges.
In the fierce autumn wind, the frequent movement of soldiers and horses in the Southern Xiongnu camp in a simple circle of wood was a little unusual. You must know that although the life of the Huns on the grassland is not as stable as in the cities where the Han people live, there are autumn winds from time to time, and it is not uncommon to kill people and rob cattle, horses and sheep and other daily necessities. Therefore, it is common for small areas of warfare between the tribes of the steppe to be common, and it is normal for everyone to often keep their scimitars and longbows on their bodies, but it is unusual for such a large-scale movement to be quite regular, and it is unusual to say that I want to go to the collective to fight the two 'big households' that often oppress themselves on weekdays.
Standing on the small hillside in front of the camp, Zhang Liao and Xu Shu were quietly waiting for the Southern Huns to greet them. If you want to hide the approach of the troops, don't even think about it, and the horses and scouts are exactly what these Huns who grew up with cattle and horses are what they are good at. Moreover, they did not want to hide their whereabouts and attack, but to persuade them, so after waving the banner, out of politeness and so that the Southern Huns did not feel in danger, they stopped at a small hill that was both obvious and at a suitable distance.
"They're coming~" In front of the solemn army, Xu Shu saw the two columns of soldiers slowly separating in front of the camp, and said suddenly.
"Yes, they're coming~" I don't understand what these two people are saying, the soldiers below still maintain discipline and silently manipulate the horses under their crotches so that they don't make a little noise, so as not to lose the face of my Han people in front of these outsiders.
"It's the envoy of the Great Han in front?" Although the battle of the Yumen Fortress not far away is even whether the Tianhan Army can defend it, but at least the politeness must be enough, and the Han Army is not just such a Yumen Fortress. Even if Yannan Dao loses people, there is still the power to counterattack, so for the mere three thousand soldiers and companies in front of him, he still does not dare to be presumptuous, his ancestors have no second choice since they betrayed the Xiongnu and took refuge in the Han Kingdom. As for the return? For the strong Northern Xiongnu population of nearly one million, what kind of attention can they receive? And who can guarantee their status?
"A certain is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the general of Yannan Hou's subordinates, who was ordered to come to convey the Hou Ye's edict!" This is a title given to him by Meng Li before leaving, as the highest-ranking storage zài of the strategic place of the governor Yannan Province, he has the right to open the palace and confer titles. Although limited by the rank of the Han Kingdom and the rank of the Marquis of Yannan, he can't be a general like Siping, Si'an, Sizheng and so on, but a miscellaneous general can still have the final say.
"It turned out to be an edict from Master Hou, please convey it to the big battalion!" After hearing that it was Yan Nanhou's edict and Lian's face changed, he still decided to receive him according to the etiquette of the envoy of the Han Kingdom. Although it is rumored that this little marquis is incompetent, as his biggest superior in addition to the imperial court, he still has this status and makes him courteous. What's more, it's just a handwritten message, and if it's not good for you, you can completely dispose of these people in the big camp, and then you can't say anything in order to use yourself and others to balance the Northern Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and you can still see these Helian as the king of the Southern Xiongnu clearly.
"Please~" After saying this, Zhang Liao walked in front of the tall horse without avoidance.
looked at Zhang Liao, who was so arrogant, and Lian gritted his teeth and still couldn't help it now. What can a dead camel be bigger than a horse, and let you run rampant for a while!
The table was full of glazed utensils, and the big tent was surrounded by silk from the Han people in the north and the furs of some precious animals from the grassland. In Zhang Liao's eyes, this is completely the virtue of an upstart, and he doesn't know how to decorate and introvert at all.
After entering the tent, he walked to the front of Helian's throne, and Zhang Liao, who turned around and stood up, held high the edict with the seal of the Marquis of Yannan that he got from Meng Li, and shouted to everyone: "The edict of the Marquis of Yannan is here~"
Is this asking us to kneel? These hateful Han Chinese!
You must know that the Han people on this blue continent have always occupied the dominant power in the world, although the Han Empire, which dominated the world back then, was squeezed to the point where the northwest land was guarding their ancestral industry and struggling to survive, but the Han people who had never been invaded into the Han land for a long time still had great prestige on the grassland. Therefore, almost all the countries in Yanbian have some grassland people attached to them.
Looking at the hesitating people, Zhang Liaohu was stunned, and the blood and qi that had gone through several wars and the majesty exuded by his own high force were revealed, and the will of these people was involuntarily pressed to the knees, and he shouted in his mouth: "See Yannanhou!" ”
"Master Hou's edict is aimed at this, and seeing the edict is like seeing people! Now Tefeng and Lian are the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and after this war, the Han Kingdom will have the right to support and Lian to dominate the Xiongnu's actions. A qiē order to obey the dispatch of the Pingyu general Zhang Wenyuan, hereby! ”
"Obey the Decree~"
