"Don't blame me for being in a hurry to recall you, to report that Prime Minister Cao Cheng sent his son Cao Zhang from Youzhou to attack us! Therefore we must call everyone to the council. Luan Tihu Chuquan Shan Yu said lightly.
"I heard that Cao Zhangyong is brave and has the power to pull out mountains and destroy villages, why did you recruit him?"
"I heard that Cao Cao wanted to redeem Cai Zhaoji with a lot of money, but King Zuo Xian refused, so I let Cao Zhang come!"
"Joke! Who is Choi Zhao Hee, how do I not know? King Zuo Xian said angrily, and then said disapprovingly: "I have also heard that this Cao Zhang is conceited and brave, and he dares to provoke us with only 5,000 cavalry, which is really ridiculous!" At the beginning, Wei Qinghuo went out of the fortress every time he was sick, didn't he bring 50,000 troops? ”
"That's right! He came with five thousand, and we will use fifty thousand to do it for him!" Heaps will also heap him to death! ”
"I also think that Cao Cao is too arrogant, thinking that his son can have the ability to Huo Quai's illness if he is named the champion Hou!"
"We use 50,000 people to work at ease, if it's really not enough, another 50,000!"
"That's right! We have to let Prime Minister Cao Cheng know that if we don't give us a golden soap woman, we will rob it ourselves! He can't do it when his son comes! ”
On August 7, the eighth year of Jian'an, Ye Ke led the army to Changshan and Xinxing two counties, arrived in Taiyuan County, and was adjacent to the location of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General in the south of Hanging Urn Mountain.
Ye Ke looked at the Fen River not far away, and said to Chen Geng beside him: "Finally arrived at the Fen River, as long as you cross the Hanging Urn Mountain, you can engage the Southern Xiongnu." The Xiongnu admired force, and only by constantly slaughtering them could they make them kneel.
Since it is the custom of the Xiongnu to plunder the Central Plains, this time, let me turn it upside down and take the raiding of the Xiongnu as a custom. ”
Chen looked at the Hanging Urn Mountain from a distance and said: "General, the Huns are going south to loot Pingyang, there will definitely be people behind him to arrange, this terrain is dangerous, don't be careless!" ”
Gao Tao also said: "Yes, and the mountains and rivers in the state, after the Hanging Urn Mountain, it is a series of mountains, and there are branch basins of the Fen River on the right, the terrain is complex, it is a good place for ambush!" ”
Ye Ke said with a smile: "Yes, when we attacked Wuheng and Liaodong, it was because they definitely didn't think of our marching route, but now, this area is in the sphere of influence of the Xiongnu, and it is absolutely not to be careless."
The order went down, we marched step by step, connected the vans to form an outer wall, a huge stone and a large wooden base, once we encountered a large force of enemy cavalry, immediately retreated to the camp!
On the second day, they crossed the Weng Hanging Mountain and went all the way south without touching the enemy.
On the third day, there was still no trace of the enemy.
On the fourth day, the whole army arrived at Daling, the location of the central part of the Xiongnu, and there was still no movement around.
The atmosphere is becoming more and more oppressive and eerie.
Zicheng is on the west bank of the Fen River, from the Great Tomb, two days ahead. Now, Ye Ke is in a treacherous place, invincible in front and invincible in the rear, could it be that the Huns really went south to Pingyang and were unguarded in Zicheng?
Of course, this was impossible, the Southern Xiongnu were raiding and cunning, and it was obvious that they intended to adopt the Guerrilla policy used by the Xiongnu to lead Ye Ke into the depths of the steppe.
Ye Ke looked at the map and said: "We are one man and three horsemen, well-equipped, as long as we do not enter the depths of the steppe and do not lose our way, we will not be afraid of the Huns, and continue to advance towards Zicheng!" ”
The army continued to advance, and in the afternoon, the forward army finally encountered the enemy cavalry.
The earth trembled, billowing smoke and dust rose into the sky, and boundless Hun cavalry rushed in. Rao is Chen was even more bold and careful, and was also taken aback by the phenomenon in front of him: "No less than 50,000 people, 50,000 cavalry, the Huns actually used 50,000 cavalry to deal with us." ”
Ye Ke received the information and turned around and asked Gao Tao: "How is our camp going?" ”
Gao Tao said: "The camp has been erected, it is solid and hard, there are 5,000 people, and the Huns will definitely not be able to break it!" ”
Ye Ke nodded, waved the halberd in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The whole army changes horses and prepares to fight!" ”
Soon tens of thousands of Hun cavalry appeared in the field of vision, and the cavalry on both wings began to close Ye Ke's 5,000 troops!
Ye Ke sneered and shouted, "The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!" Give me a shock to the enemy's army! ”
With this invincible general, the fighting spirit of the whole army was very high, and suddenly the whole army roared in unison, and the horse's hooves rose up and rushed to the enemy formation!
Originally, there were only 5,000 people, and they were at a disadvantage, and they couldn't divide their troops at all, so the whole army gathered into a fist, like a sharp axe, and split the Hun cavalry middle army!
First, there was a round of arrow rain impact, and then Ye Ke roared, wielding a halberd and killing into the Hun array!
Thousands of soldiers are really like fierce tigers and horses, like dragons, 5,000 halberds waved into 5,000 murderous blue light, the whole army is like a big iron cone, crashing into the Hun formation, the Huns suddenly cry wolf howl, one after another fell off the horse and died.
These 5,000 people are all warriors trained by Ye Ke, although their personal strength is not as good as that of a giant beast like Xu Chu, but they are connected as a whole, and they are really like man-eating beasts, countless Hun cavalry wielded scimitars, and before they could make a move, they were cut off by the halberd of the Han army, and countless Hun warriors fell off their horses and were immediately trampled into meat paste!
After a few meals, Ye Ke led the army to rush and kill, and stubbornly chiseled through the Hun cavalry.
Looking back, there are already more than 10,000 people lying on the ground or dying, or moaning and wailing!
The generals under Ye Ke's command gradually approached, and the Hun cavalry also regrouped and moved closer, and from a distance, tens of thousands of knights were still rambling.
Ye Ke hissed and said, "A few more rounds of rushing and killing, I'm afraid there won't be a few left in our army!" ”
Chen Gengdao: "That's it, the Huns have to be wiped out!" ”
Ye Ke said: "No, this place is close to Zicheng, and there is the left part of the Xiongnu, but what about the middle of the Xiongnu?" What about the right part of the Huns? Is it just silent? ”
Chen Geng was stunned, glanced at Gao Tao, and asked, "General, what do you see?" ”
Ye Ke said: "The enemy has a big pocket, I'm afraid he wants to leave us all!" The Southern Xiongnu have been living together with our Han people for many years, and their combat effectiveness and organizational ability have been improved! It's definitely not something that can be compared to just Wuheng! ”
Gao Tao asked, "General, what should we do?" ”
Ye Ke sneered: "Let's slowly retreat to the barracks, respond to the enemy with bows and arrows, and consume this bait of the enemy first!" ”
After a pause, he said: "Using 50,000 people as bait, this Southern Hun is such a big deal!" ”
Ye Ke led the army back to the barracks slowly, and the Southern Hun cavalry slowly pressed up, but they didn't dare to approach the battle, obviously, Ye Ke charged this time, giving them a huge kill!
From the second day onwards, the Hun cavalry attacked repeatedly like a frenzy, but they were all repulsed by Ye Ke with bows and arrows.
On the fifth day, the Hun cavalry finally appeared another main force, the boundless cavalry, the whistling of the sky, the sound of the earth's shaking horses' hooves, everything was showing that the Hun cavalry had more than 100,000 people.
But they were already late, and that night, Ye Ke had made all the preparations, the ship processed by hundreds of carpenters had been ready, and Ye Ke quietly led the army on board.
In the early morning of the second day, tens of thousands of Hun soldiers drove their horses forward, making a call of "yo hoo, yo hoo", and countless sabers were raised high, smoothly attacking Ye Ke's camp.
There was no one in the village, the corpses of slaughtered war horses were everywhere, the sawdust shavings discarded from shipbuilding were piled up indiscriminately, and the broken saddles were thrown one by one on the edge of the abandoned tents.
All signs indicate that Ye Ke fled in a panic, and fled the camp before he even had time to extinguish the fire.
The Hun soldiers suddenly let out an earth-shattering cheer, and they rushed to start robbing each other of various materials.
Tents, iron pots, discarded weapons, carpenter's tools, all the daily necessities found!
The Hun soldiers in the rear also rushed into the camp, sorting the corpses of war horses and broken saddles,
At that moment, piles of sawdust shavings began to emit green smoke.
Finally, with a "boom", sawdust began to burn from green smoke. burn
Then there was a loud "boom", and the sawdust soaked in oil suddenly burst into a raging fire, and soon the fire was connected, and countless Hun soldiers began to cough and howl!
"Boom" bursts of earth-shattering loud noises! The earth shook and the mountains shook, and countless Hun soldiers were blown into the sky!
Immediately, the war horses that had escaped the periphery began to scream, neigh, and gallop!
Countless Hun soldiers were frightened and couldn't help but swing their knives and slash at everything around them.
At this time, the sky was clear, but the camp of the Huns began, and the Huns began to kill each other!
