Chapter 458: Thousands of Miles to Lure the Enemy
The battle of the small Tianshan Pass. The news of the Western Regions Alliance's repulsion of the Xianbei army in the west spread. And through the oral transmission of the merchants to Chang'an, of course, the details of the battle did not know the details of the battle, only knew that it was a great victory. When the news reached Chang'an, it became the news that Tai Shici brought to Zhang Xiu.
However, the real situation is far from being as good as outsiders expected, Hao Zhao in Yiwu City is troubled, originally according to his assumption, with the dangerous terrain in the Tiangu Valley, he can definitely destroy more than 20,000 Xianbei people. The Xianbei people, who have lost a third of their men, will also be afraid of the Western Regions, although they cannot be allowed to withdraw immediately. But they don't dare to act rashly. And Hao Zhao can find another opportunity to make a surprise attack, taking the opportunity to defeat the attack of Western Xianbei in one fell swoop.
It's just that everything was ruined by the arrow of the general of the Ministry of Good Country, and killing 8,000 Xianbei people was a great victory that had never been tried in the eyes of the countries of the Western Regions. But Hao Zhao knew that he had killed 8,000 Xianbei people. First of all, we can't let it hurt its muscles and bones, and have scruples about the Western Regions, but also because of its serious injury, it arouses the anger of the Xianbei people's revenge, and in the face of the attack of the Xianbei people, the countries of the Western Regions may only have to fight to the death.
The capital of the Western Regions of Yiwu protected the temporary residence, and Hao Zhao kept checking the map during the period, hoping to find the terrain that was conducive to breaking the enemy.
Suddenly, a junior colonel of the Western Regions Alliance Army broke into the residence and shouted, "Repay the people who are protected... The retribution is all protected... There are a lot of cavalry outside the city! ”
When Hao Zhao heard this, the whole person suddenly rose up and exclaimed, "It's coming so fast? ”
Seeing that the little colonel had already come to him, Hao Zhao hurriedly asked, "What is going on, how many people are in this cavalry." Who's under whom's flag? ”
When the little colonel heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, we only saw a lot of black spots, covering the entire east side, and we heard the sound of war horses running above the city." It's too loud. ”
The school's voice fell, and a faint "rumble" was heard, which then became louder and louder. Seeing this little schoolmaster's stunned expression, Hao Zhao also knew that he couldn't ask anything, and Hao Zhao didn't have any hope at all for the so-called elite of the Western Regions. What the entire Western Regions can really fight is the Han army.
Hao Zhao couldn't think about it anymore, strode into the temporary residence, and walked towards Dongcheng. The "rumble" caused by the galloping of war horses became louder and louder. When Hao Zhao climbed the low wall of Yiwu, he had already seen a large army rushing from far and near.
All the soldiers of the Western Regions in the city were terrified. Hao Zhao shouted coldly: "Don't be stunned! Grab your weapons and get ready for battle! The soldiers of the Western Regions around Hao Zhao heard this, and in desperation, they picked up their weapons and watched their guard, while the archers mounted sharp arrows, ready to shoot at any time after listening to the order.
The rumbling sound was getting louder and louder, and although the sound of horses' hooves was chaotic, Hao Zhao could vaguely see that the formation listed by the incoming army was very neat. There is no scattering of ordinary horses galloping.
"This army is well-trained and extremely powerful." Hao Zhao immediately made such a mark on this army in his heart.
Suddenly, a soldier from the Western Regions shouted, "It's not a Xianbei person!" Not Xianbei people! It's Han! It's reinforcements sent by the Great Han! See. On top of that banner are Chinese characters! ”
When Hao Zhao heard this, he immediately looked at it. I saw an embroidered flag with six big characters written on it: "General Horse of Han Fuyuan". Hao Zhao read it out word by word, and after reading it, his face was already full of joy, and he said excitedly: "Great! It's General Ma's army! ”
The people from the Western Regions next to him didn't react for a while, but after a while, they burst into cheers. Excitedly: "It's General Ma!" It's General Ma! That's great! ”
The army was gradually approaching, and Hao Zhao had clearly seen the person who led the troops to rush to the front, holding the White Tiger Shed Soul Gun, wearing a lion helmet on his head, and a beast belt around his waist, which was a horse.
Ma led the army to the bottom of the city, and when he saw Hao Zhao in the city, he laughed and called, "Hi, Bodao." Long time no see. ”
Hao Zhaoxi was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Meng Qi! Then he shouted, "Quick! Open the gates of the city and welcome the army of the generals. ”
The gates of the city creak open, and the pony smiles and leads the army into the city.
After Ma and Hao Zhao settled the army, Xiao came to the temporary residence, and Ma saw that the table was full of maps and other things, and he was shrewd as he immediately saw that Hao Zhao was in trouble, and asked with a smile: "Bo Dao, what is the trouble?" ”
Hao Zhao smiled. said: "Originally, it was still a troublesome matter, but now Meng is up, and this hemp dwarf will be solved." ”
Ma let out a light "oh" and said, "The big trouble in the Western Regions should be those Xianbei thieves." What's going on now? ”
Hao Zhao briefly told Ma about the battle at the Tianshan Pass, and after Ma listened, he said: "These people from the Western Regions can't rely on it, Bo Dao looked at the map, but thought of a good way to break the enemy?" ”
Hao Zhao heard it and said with a smile: "If Meng Qi can't come, Zhao can only rely on the terrain of the Western Regions to deal with the Xianbei people, but now that Meng Qi has come, there is no need to do so." ”
Ma listened, shook his head, and said, "Bo Dao doesn't know. This time, it was the Western Xianbei who invaded the Western Regions, while the Central Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu coalition army invaded Liangzhou and Bingzhou. General Youhua in Liangzhou has a solid defensive line, but the northern part of Bingzhou has fallen, and the Shangjun and Xihe counties within the Great Wall have been lost, and the lord has sent troops from Chang'an to rescue. ”
Hao Zhao was shocked when he heard it, he was from Bingzhou. Hearing that his hometown had fallen, he was naturally in a hurry. Seeing this, Ma could only comfort: "Bo Dao, rest assured, when the lord came, he had already let 100,000 cavalry troops be stationed in Liangzhou." Be ready to go out of the prairie at any time to annihilate the Hu people. In addition, two armies were sent with a total of 100,000 foot soldiers into Bingzhou, plus Ziyi led the Breaking Blade Battalion and the Blood Blade Battalion to return from Yizhou, as well as 30,000 flying feather archers, and the lord of this battle will win. ”
When Hao Zhao heard this, he naturally knew that Zhang Xiu had taken out all his family resources to fight, and his heart was also a little calmer, if Zhang Xiu couldn't win in this way, I was afraid that the Han would fall into a big crisis. Xianbei and Wuzhi in the east are both wolf ambitions, and when they see that they have a advantage, they will naturally send troops, and then it will not only be a disaster for merging states, but a disaster for the whole Han Dynasty.
But it's also a worst-case scenario. Now among the entire Han Dynasty, Zhang Xiu's troops can be said to be the most capable of fighting, and they are well-equipped, and a single Pangulishi may be a headache for the Hu people. Come to think of it. Hao Zhao's brows began to stretch.
Horses. said with a smile: "Bo Dao don't worry, we still have to find a way to concentrate on dealing with these 50,000 Xianbei people." ”
Seeing this, Hao Zhao asked suspiciously, "Isn't Meng Qi ready to defeat these Xianbei people head-on?" ”
Ma shook his head and said: "It is natural to break head-on, but this time I only led 20,000 people, how the combat power of Xianbei in the west has not yet fought and it is not clear that Guigong is fighting in Liangzhou and Bingzhou, even if this battle can be won, I am afraid that it will not be lost, Mr. Gongtai is leaving." Ding instructed that the losses should be minimized, otherwise the princes from all over the country may come to collect the profits of the scum after the war. ”
Hao Zhao nodded when he heard this, what Chen Gong said was also to prevent what happened, after all, it is indispensable to prevent people. So he said with a smile: "Originally, Zhao only found the terrain and had not yet made a decision, but now Meng has a plan to break the enemy." ”
When Ma heard this, he asked happily, "Bo Dao and tell me carefully." ”
Hao Zhao heard it, leaned into Ma's ear and whispered. After hearing this, Ma's eyes widened, and Hao Zhao smiled slightly: "If Meng Qi wants to reduce his losses, he can only lose some prestige. ”
Ma sighed when he heard this, waved his hand, and said: "That's it, if you can bury these 50,000 troops in one fell swoop, why not lose some prestige, Bodao and command and dispatch, listen to you." ”
Hao Zhao nodded when he heard this, and said, "Since that's the case." Zhao is welcome. ”
In a wilderness south of Yiwu in the Western Regions, two cavalry armies lined up opposite each other, and it was the Western Xianbei Leaders who led the troops into the Western Regions this time. The western Xianbei, which originally rebelled after the death of Tan Shishi, had to join forces with the central Xianbei again to go south because of the heavy snow last year, which caused the cattle and sheep to freeze to death. However, the rebellious western Xianbei always had a problem with the central Xianbei, so they sent troops alone to take the Western Regions, which had become rich again due to the reopening of trade routes.
Hang Fen was angry in his heart, originally he thought that he would lead 60,000 troops to take the Western Regions, and the small countries in the Western Regions would never dare to resist under the shock, how did he know that before he left the Tiangu Road, he was ambushed by the Western Regions coalition army, and lost more than 8,000 people. This heavy blow made the dry soldiers angry, and after several hardships, they finally crossed the Tianshan Mountain, and when they were about to plunder on a large scale, they received news that there was a large cavalry in the south.
Hang Fan didn't need to think about it to know that it was a large army of Han people, because these small countries in the Western Regions couldn't organize so many cavalry. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was better to destroy this Han people first and then calmly take the small countries in the Western Regions, so he crossed Yiwu, led his troops south, and confronted the Han cavalry in the wilderness thousands of miles away from Yiwu.
At this time, although it was the end of autumn, the morning in the Western Regions, where winter had not yet come, was still extremely hot. It is a typical desert climate. The Qianghu cavalry has long been accustomed to this kind of weather, and although they feel uncomfortable, they are also adapted. But the Xianbei people are a little uncomfortable, even in the middle of summer, it is generally difficult to take care of this hot weather on the prairie.
"Woooooooo
"Uh......h Whining...... Woooooooo
Almost at the same time, the horns of the two armies sounded at the same time, the horn sound on one side carried the vastness of the prairie, and on the other side was the desolate horn sound in Qianghu, Liangzhou and other places, and the two horn sounds had similarities. There are also very different places, which resound at the same time in the endless wilderness.
In the Han army, Ma Yi waved the soul gun of the White Tiger Shed, and rode out of the column and shouted: "The general of the Han Dynasty Fuyuan is here, who dares to fight!" ”
The hanging pawn didn't understand Chinese, and the Tu Ze next to him heard it, and immediately whispered in his ear. He had also heard the name of the horse on the grassland, and the Qianghu and a small number of Xianbei people in Liangzhou brought the prestige of the horse to the prairie, so the Kufen pawn also heard it.
Seeing Ma Jian's eyebrows, starry eyes, handsome face, vigorous figure, and majestically depicting the battle in front of the battle with a gun, Hu Fen was displeased for a while. After shouting a few words, soon a man with a sledgehammer rode out of the battle, and the translator next to the dry pawn shouted: "Listen to the Han people, the Xianbei warriors are coming to fight you!" Seeing Na Ba rushing out of the formation, Ma Ping spear caught up, the two horses intersected, and the White Tiger Shed Soul Gun in the horse's hand and the sledgehammer in Na Ba's hand collided fiercely. The withered pawn's eyesight was very strong, and he immediately saw the figure of the horse sitting on the horse swaying, obviously the strength was not as good as that of Naba, but the war horse under the crotch did not retreat.
The pawn looked down at the horse's mount. Seeing that the jade lion is snow-white and does not have a single stray hair on its body, it is definitely a top-level BMW. I have been on the prairie for so many years, and I have never seen such a BMW. A hint of eagerness flashed in his eyes, and he shouted a few words to Naba.
Ma naturally didn't know what Hu Fen was shouting, but he kept having no rules at all with him, only knowing that he was smashing with a sledgehammer and Ma Yue felt depressed, and the opponent who could be solved with one move had to pretend to be evenly matched with him, and his strength was not as good as that of a person, Ma's depressed mood was understandable to everyone.
Played more than ten rounds. With a roar, he raised his sledgehammer and threw it at the horse. Horses. A smile flashed in his eyes, and he raised the White Tiger Shed Soul Spear with both hands to resist, and at the same time lightly kicked the jade lion sitting down with his left leg.
"Yes,"
I heard a loud noise, and the horse was knocked back by the horse, and then the horse did not dare to come forward again, and turned around on the horse's back and ran.
Seeing it, he was stunned for a moment, and the opponent who was originally "on par" with him was defeated in one move at this time, and after reacting, he shouted several times, and chased after the horse.
The horse turned around and fled, not only him, but also the 20,000 Qiang Hu cavalry who saw that they also fled, and the originally neatly looked formation suddenly became extremely scattered. After all, the jade lion under the crotch of the horse was a top-level horse, and he caught up with the army at once and led the army to flee to the southwest.
Seeing that the Han people would be defeated by their own warriors, they fled with the army, laughed a few times, and led the army to chase after him. It can defeat the Han people in one fell swoop, and kill the horses that are very loud in Liangzhou and the Western Domain. It is very beneficial to consolidate the prestige of Hu Fen. The withered pawn doesn't mind spending a few more days taking off the horse class.
In this way, the escape of thousands of miles and the pursuit of thousands of miles were staged in the Western Regions, and Ma led 20,000 Qiang Hu cavalry to flee to the southwest, and the escape for nine consecutive days only rested for more than a day when crossing the mountains bordering the southern and northern parts of the Western Regions, and rested for half a day when crossing the Peacock River. If it weren't for the Qianghu cavalry's habit of climate. And knowing where there were supplies in the desert, he threw off the Xianbei people in time to chase after him, but he was afraid that he would not be able to run at this time. As for the Xianbei people who are not familiar with the climate, they are even worse, so tired that they almost can't move. However, the three-day pursuit did not make the Xianbei people's morale drop. On the contrary, the more he chased him, the more morale grew, because he caught a man from the Western Regions as a guide, and knew that the direction of Ma Dajun's army was Loulan, the richest country in the Western Regions!
