Chapter 423 Fierce Counterattack (Three More Votes!)
Three days later, Ying Chong was in Mayi County, helpless, looking at the battle report from the three counties of eastern Hebei. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At noon on the 29th, Zuo Xian Wang Lao Shang led the whole army to cross Shangshui. As he expected, the location chosen by the Huns was able to pass through the water without the need for boats.
Then, on the night of the 29th, the old 330,000 iron horsemen rushed to Pingxian near Guyuan County at night, and beat the 70,000 Lu clan troops that were being assembled in the local area to a great rout, beheading 50,000 people.
Then he turned south, and in the early morning of the 30th, he defeated the 200,000 elite soldiers of the Lu clan who hurriedly returned to the division in Xia County, and shocked the entire three counties in eastern Hebei.
Then the old sage king easily destroyed the 70,000 reinforcements that came from the surrounding Qingping County and Ye County, and beheaded 30,000 people.
In just two or three days, 330,000 Hun iron cavalry rushed for nearly 1,000 miles, defeated the original Lu clan three formations, killed up to 120,000 levels, and killed two people in the Lu clan's Quantian realm.
The Huns, on the other hand, only suffered less than 20,000 injuries, and the combat strength above Quan Tian was not damaged.
It was not until 1 May that the Guyuan Lu clan had to invite Lu Wenjin, the king of Jingbei County, who had retired, to preside over the army, and the situation was barely maintained.
This old county king, based on the hundreds of thousands of remnants of the original Xia County direction, integrated the defeated troops of Qingping County and Ye County, and made every effort to recruit the local clan's family Ding Guardian and the people everywhere. barely gathered 300,000 troops, relying on Xia County, to stabilize this endgame.
But at this time, the prestige of the Guyuan Lu clan had greatly declined, and the old Shangxian King suppressed the main force of the Guyuan army with 250,000 cavalry of the elite army of his headquarters. He also divided 50,000 horsemen and plundered the villages. Not only did they gather the necessary food, grass and meat, but they also plundered hundreds of thousands of people who had been trapped in the plains and drove them eastward.
Ying Chong looked at these battle reports, and he actually felt a sense of schadenfreude.
I thought that this was really not listening to the old man's words, and I was suffering a loss in front of me - when the Lu clan was able to defend the Shang River with 100,000 people from his request, why did there be today's disaster?
But now, not only more than 300,000 Hun iron horsemen, but also have the hope of escaping. The people of eastern Hebei also suffered from military disasters. Even Guyuan Lu himself was also badly damaged.
It is necessary to know that the 120,000 people who died in the battle are the elite soldiers that the Lu clan has been trained for a long time! Whether it is equipment or the combat strength of the soldiers, they can be equal to the border army and even the forbidden army.
As far as he knew, there were only 50,000 soldiers in the Guyuan Lu clan. The Lu clan's own half-full-time clan army is about 100,000 people.
But in this battle, Zuo Xian Wang Lao Shang directly attacked the heart of the Lu family, and won three big victories in a row, and the people killed were basically the people of the Guyuan Lu family. On the contrary, it is the rest of the vassal clans, which have little damage and little damage.
Not to mention, among the two fallen Quan Tian Realm, there is also a pseudo-Zhenguo-
After this battle, Lu does not know how many years it will take to recover. Maybe this time, it will fall out of the family list of the Jixia School Palace.
Knowing that such a mood is not right, this time in the three counties of eastern Hebei, I don't know how many Qin people died in the war, but Ying Chong still couldn't help it, and his eyes showed a smile.
"Driving the people eastward? In this way, they really want to go through the Jingcheng Pass and return to the grassland. ”
Wang Chengen was also troubled by the east of the Huns' iron cavalry, and walked in the tent in trouble. But when he heard this, he couldn't help but look back in astonishment.
"If you really want to go to Jingcheng Pass, the 60,000 Heavenly Tiger Army over there is not easy to mess with. Jingcheng is a dangerous place that cannot be opened, and if they want to attack, they are killing themselves,"
The Jingcheng Pass is Xiongguan, and the narrowest part only allows 70 people to pass. Even the high mountains on the side, or basalt, which is only as hard as obsidian, are helpless even the strong people who opened the border in the past.
"They have a hostage in their hands. ”
Ying Xuanniang explained: "The people driven by the Huns are all from the vicinity of Guyuan County, so why do they need to attack?"
Wang Chengen's face was suddenly solemn, he is also a smart person, and he was a little transparent by Ying Xuanniang at this time. The soldiers of the Heavenly Tiger Army are seventy percent from Guyuan. And the generals at the top have all kinds of connections with the Lu family.
The old man of the Xiongnu used these 8.9 million people to coerce the people of the solid plains, and he did not worry about the palace of Jingbei County not bowing his head.
In this way, the old man and these 300,000 riders can really escape from this net-
"What should I do now?
"Rush?"
Ying Chong smiled, he said, while writing a letter on the desk: "From Mayi to Jingcheng Pass, even if it is a day and night journey, five hundred miles a day, it will take at least five or six days, even if we go, it will be too late." ”
Wang Chengen thought about it, and it was true, and he couldn't help but snort softly: "Lu Wenjin is old and faint, and the people of the Lu family are selfish and mislead the country." This time, our family must bring down the prince of Jingbei County! He doesn't want to be the prince of this world! There are also the three defense envoys in eastern Ji. ”
Speaking of these three people, he was even more angry: "These three people are really bastards! Are they the courtiers of the Great Qin Ying clan or the ministers of the Guyuan Lu clan?"
"For these three people, my father has sent a military judge to detain them and behead them. ”
Ying Chong shook his head, he was not good at doing it before, but at this time, the Huns really broke into eastern Hebei, so he had no reason to leave these three people's lives.
At this time, even if the Guyuan Lu clan tried his best to obstruct it, he wouldn't care. The two families turned their faces, and the current Lu family is not their opponent of the An Guoying clan-
Otherwise, where is the majesty of the Anguo Mansion?
"It should be cut down to set an example!"
Wang Chengen bowed slightly, expressing his concern, and then said happily: "Fortunately, Lord Guogong backed up the military order documents before the two orders. Otherwise, you and I will be held responsible. ”
When Ying Chong heard this, he seemed to be smiling: "Speaking of this, can the prince send these documents to the capital one day later?"
When Wang Chengen heard this, he immediately realized: "This is a clever move, or it can help the saint." ”
The Xiongnu marched eastward into eastern Hebei, although they could not reverse the general trend, but such a defeat was somewhat a stain on the body of this Duke of Anguo.
At this time, the court and the central government were fighting to recruit Wang Anshi's return. Once the defeat of eastern Hebei is transmitted to Xianyang, it is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to make waves.
Therefore, the timing of the return of this document to the capital is extremely critical. The time is too early, and you have to wait for some people to be fatal when they can't hold it back. It's not good if it's late, and it's easy to leak the news.
Ying Chong didn't bother to pay attention to this bad thing, and he wrote the letter. Then he summoned the scribes who were waiting outside the account, and a few lieutenants of Yu Yu (the ancient herald was Yu Yu).
"Transcribe this letter for a few minutes, and then send it to the palace of Wude County, Liangzhou. This prince needs to be able to see this letter early tomorrow morning, and the king of Wude will be able to see it!"
Wang Chengen was a little curious, his eyes peeked and slanted, and then in the text, there were words such as 'early June', 'going north', 'Xiongnu', and 'suppression'.
"It's—"
His heart shook, and Wang Chengen looked back dumbly, his eyes showing a look of astonishment.
"Ordered Li Jing to rectify the armies in the clouds and prepare grain and grass. Before the fifth day of the sixth month, the prince wanted to command the headquarters of 500,000 people, and the troops went out of the grassland,"
When these words were said, Wang Chengen was shocked, and Ying Xuanniang was thoughtful.
Ying Chong sneered: "That Zuo Xian King dares to wave his troops eastward and invade my eastern Hebei, then this prince will not let him underestimate my Great Qin's strength." ”
In short, since you are ready to take the well to fight for your life, then don't blame me for going straight to the nest and cutting off your foundation!
This time, no matter what, he needs to hit the Huns hard!
Wang Chengen opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but before Yingchong's compelling momentum, he finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
"Then the three counties in eastern Hebei, as well as the old man, will the Lord Guogong no longer care about it?"
"Ignore it!"
Ying Chong shook his head, thinking that unless the old man was an idiot, he would burn and kill and plunder in Jidong, offend the Lu family to death, and cut off the opponent for him Ying Chong in vain.
And what did the old man do in eastern Hebei, he was in the grassland, and he must pay it back!
※※※※
At this time, Ying Chong's prestige among the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in Yanmen, Mayi, was already in full swing.
Although the vast majority of people do not understand his move to lead a large army into the grassland. But when he gave the order, no one in the army refuted, and they were all going all out to prepare.
-- No one was nervous about this, just because the elite of the seven divisions of the left wing of the Xiongnu had been transferred south by the king of Zuoguli. The only thing left of the seven tribes on the left was the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Although in the western direction, there is still a threat from the Xiongnu royal court and the seven divisions on the right flank. But as long as this time it is not too deep, there should not be much of a problem.
At this time, there were 470,000 troops in Mayi and 230,000 troops in Yunzhong. It is not difficult to integrate 600,000 troops to the north.
Ying Chong left 100,000 men behind and handed them over to Commander Li Guang, who was responsible for guarding the Yunzhong defense line and keeping an eye out for the movements of the Huns in eastern Hebei. On the one hand, he sent his subordinates out to rebuild the government army and unity soldiers in Yunzhong and Jimen. Sixty thousand people were temporarily recruited, all of which were under the command of Li Guang.
Ordnance is everything, this time he defeated the Huns, and captured a lot. Almost all the good things that the Huns scavenged from the Jizhou clan fell into his hands. The vacant five-star ink armor alone amounted to 7,000.
Therefore, the 60,000 troops he recruited this time were also fully equipped, but they were only weaker in terms of combat effectiveness.
But the 160,000 people who stayed behind were not so much to guard against the Xiongnu, but to suppress Jizhong and prevent possible civil unrest. With Li Guang's ability. It's more than enough to deal with those Kou troops.
In the early morning of the fourth day of the sixth month, the Qin army was ready to continue northward, and Li Jing first commanded 200,000 people as the vanguard and stepped out of Yunzhong County.
After that, the 400,000 people under the direct jurisdiction of Yingchong, the army spread out for more than 20 miles, sweeping in the direction of the north.
Before setting out, Ying Chong only explained two things to his generals. The first is to do their best to search and rescue the Qin people who were captured by the Huns to the grassland, and the second is to kill all the men who are higher than the wheels in all parts of the road according to the rules of the grassland!
A few days later, the Red Wolf Department and the Donghuan Department near Yunzhong County in the north were full of bloody rain.
