Chapter 0418: The golden cicada sheds its shell, but it doesn't completely come off
After discovering the 'Lou Annoying Archers' outside the city, Jin She quickly reacted: Open the city gate and the whole army will be dispatched!
But unfortunately, Jin She discovered the abnormality, but it was too late······
"Treacherous and barbaric!"
Angry and let out a roar, Jin She still didn't lose his breath, and kicked the Hun cannon fodder in front of him wearing Lou Fu bow and cavalry costume to the ground.
- The battle, which went well;
Under the order of Taiwei Jin She, the soldiers of the Han army in Mayi City poured out, but the slaves and cannon fodder outside the city did not resist too violently.
Neither took advantage of the opening of the gate of Mayi City and poured in from the city gate, nor was it frightened by the Han soldiers who poured out of the nest and fled.
Standing so numbly outside the city, the soldiers of the Han army stepped forward and strung themselves together with thick ropes.
Because they know that they are outcasts;
Death is their only destination.
After the soldiers of the Han army poured out of the gate of Mayi and captured the tens of thousands of slave cannon fodder, there were even many slave cannon fodder on their faces, with a look of overjoy!
It's like 'no need to die', which is a big surprise for these slave cannon fodder who thought they were going to die.
And after the 'battle' ended, Jin She finally discovered where the three-edged arrows that were collected by the slaves and cannon fodder outside the city went······
"Captain;"
"Since Hu sends his soldiers here to transport arrows every three days, the main force of Hu Man will not go far!"
"And General Wuzhou Deli is in the town, so there is no mistake."
"Even if Hu has not gone far, and it is difficult to escape in the north of Wuzhou, the Taiwei may be able to calm down and slow down the method of annihilating the enemy······"
Hearing the voice of Captain Quan Xu of Yulin, Jin She couldn't help but slightly reduce the anger on his face;
But even after adjusting his face, Jin She still felt an inexplicable fire in his heart.
——For this war, the resources spent by the Chang'an court can almost be described as 'massive'!
And it's not a huge number of people, it's that every day, a huge amount of resources are needed to support this war!
Although in the early days of the war, the unexpected fall of Cloud City made the Han family quite chaotic;
Before the start of the Battle of Mayi, Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven, also sent a letter, vaguely informing Jin She: There is no need to have too much 'pursuit', as long as the Huns are stopped north of Mayi, the strategic goal will be completed.
When he first came to Mayi, Jin She did think so.
——As soon as it is lost in the clouds, the Han family is north of the Great Wall, which is equivalent to becoming blind and deaf!
Where the Huns were, where they came from, and whether they even came, the Han family didn't know anything!
Under such a bad situation, 'not seeking a big victory, but not being defeated' is indeed the most realistic strategic goal.
However, after Wei Wei Liji's whimsical ideas and the successful recapture of Wuzhou Sai, the 'siege of Mayi' that had been formed allowed Jin She to see the dawn of victory.
The victory here does not refer to a victory in a battle, which scared the Huns and fled back to the steppe;
- Instead, the troika of Xiongnu White Sheep, Zhelan, and Lou Fu, as well as the 'Xiongnu Prince': Zuoxian Wang's porridge, were all annihilated under this Mayi city!
Whenever he thinks of such a grand strategic goal, Jin She will subconsciously feel: he seems to be dreaming!
But when Jin She had such a strange mood and went through all the possible directions of the war in his mind, Jin She would always come up with a result that made him, a lieutenant who had been active in the Han military since the end of the Qin Dynasty, feel excited.
——The siege of Mayi is a success, even if Hu rides a million, he will never want to escape back to the north of the Great Wall!
And at this moment, when he found that the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang Department outside Mayi City had secretly fled a few days ago, leaving only an empty camp, Jin She's mood was also obvious······
"Whew~"
"What the captain said is good;"
"——Captain Dehuben is stationed in Wuzhou, and Hu Man is indulgent, and there is absolutely no way to go!"
forcibly pressed the anger in his chest, and carefully recalled Quan Xu's retort, only then did Jin She breathe a long sigh of relief and calm his mind a little;
The reason is very simple: the Xiongnu left Mayi, which does not mean that this 'siege of Mayi' will not be able to encircle the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, as well as the troika of Baiyang, Zhelan, and Lou Fu under his command.
In other words, the main force of the Xiongnu under the leadership of Ji Ji Congee is still in the encirclement north of Mayi and south of Wuzhou;
From the Huns' 'golden cicada shell', let the slaves and cannon fodder continue to attack the city, and use this to collect three-edged arrows, it is not difficult for Jin She to guess that the Hun Zuoxian King has no idea of fleeing directly.
To be precise, it was because there was no way to escape, so the idea of stubborn resistance was born.
So to put it this way······
"Kanyu!"
Thinking of this, Jin She only drank in a deep voice, and there was a sheepskin map, which was sent to Jin She by his own soldiers.
Seeing Jin Shu squatting down without any scruples, he spread out the map on the ground, and after observing the topography of the Mayi-Wuzhou line, he already had an idea in his heart.
"Send the scout post to ride to Wuzhou to explore the headquarters of the captain of the tiger school!"
"—Remember, a team of 100 people must not be scattered!"
"When the survival of Captain Huben is discovered, I will report it immediately!"
As soon as the order was given, I saw a thin general with extremely sharp eyes standing on the side, bowing his hand to Jin She slightly, and then ran into the distance.
- Although it was roughly certain that the Huns had not yet jumped out of the encirclement, Jin She still subconsciously wanted to send people to investigate the situation in Wuzhou;
Only by making sure that there is no problem with Wuzhou Sai, can Jin She feel at ease.
After giving the order to 'find out if Wuzhou Sai is still under the control of our army', the grim look on Jin She's face also faded a lot, and his frowning brows loosened slightly;
The next problem is to find the location of the main force of the Xiongnu, and reduce the current huge encirclement formed by the two mountain ranges in the east and west, and the two passes in the south and north, to the extent that the Huns can sleep and the Han army can hear the snoring.
"Hmmm······"
Thinking like this, Jin She's gaze was still fixed on the Kanyu on the ground, and his gaze swept over the signs one by one.
After looking at it for a long time, he didn't find a suitable place to garrison, or let tens of thousands of Hun cavalry live, so Jin She straightened up from the ground.
Seeing that Jin Shu was still a little hesitant, Quan Xu on the side thought for a moment, and then stepped forward and arched his hand.
"Even if Hu slaves collect three-edged arrows, and they will come every three days, they will not be far from Mayi;"
"Why don't you wait for Hu Man to send his cavalry again, so that Ma Yi can transport the three-edged arrows obtained from the slaves?"
But seeing that Jin She heard this, he only thought about it for a while, and then shook his head and vetoed Quan Xu's plan.
"Late is a change!"
"——Although the siege of Mayi has been completed, the line between Mayi-Wuzhou is extremely wide, and between the east and west mountains, there must be a trail that can be crossed!"
"If you don't know where Hu is, and you set up a heavy siege, you may be afraid that the chief of Di will be porridge, or there is a risk of returning to the grassland."
He said this in a firm tone, and after thinking for a while, a touch of determination immediately appeared on Jin She's face.
"The generals will obey!"
"——Each school is gathered in a school, that is, 2,000 people, and slowly goes north from Mayi!"
"If you encounter enemies along the way, you must not fight, and you must be Pegasus to report!"
Without hesitation, he gave the order to 'sweep north from Mayi and move in the direction of Wuzhou', Jin She turned around, jumped on his war horse angrily, and walked towards the city of Mayi behind him.
The next battle is bound to be very tragic;
Therefore, Jin She needed to return to Mayi and arrange the defense of Mayi, so as not to jump over the wall in a hurry, and no longer break through in the direction of the grassland in the north, but turn around and attack Mayi, and then wreak havoc in Daibei.
- Something like falling in the clouds, once, is disgusting enough······
·
"What?"
"——Hu Man's main force, escaped from under the horse?"
Just half a day later, the scout post cavalry sent by Jin She to Wuzhou Sai had already appeared in front of Wuzhou Sai, who was waiting for the Huns to attack.
There was a slight exclamation of surprise, but the scout nodded hurriedly.
"Yui;"
"Since three days ago, Captain Yulin severely defeated Hu Manlou's troublesome troops, and Hu Man's tendency to enslave and attack the city has become weaker and weaker."
"Until today, seeing a 'Lou Fu Hu Qi' fall off the horse, but he has no strength to get up, Taiwei knows this, it is Hu's 'golden cicada out of the shell' plan."
"Then, the Taiwei ordered the defenders of Mayi to go out of the city, and sent the last general here to explore Wuzhou."
Listening to the scout elite in front of him, he roughly explained the battle process of the past few days, and a grim look quietly surged on Liji's face.
As for this scout in front of him, he dared to call himself the 'last general', but Liji didn't think there was anything wrong.
——In today's Han Dynasty, those who can become scouts are the elites who are skilled in archers and horses and have extremely rich combat experience!
Judging from the scout in front of him, there is a piece of armor to protect him, I am afraid that he is a certain meritorious marquis, at least the son and nephew of the general's family.
"Hmmm······"
"Escape from the ······ of Mayi"
After bowing her head and muttering for a long time, Li Jizi also came to the same conclusion as Jin She: The Huns are still in the encirclement.
Thinking of this, Lisu hurriedly raised his head and looked at the scout elite in front of him.
"Lieutenant Er is Fu Tai: Wuzhou Sai, foolproof!"
"Hu will still be north of Mayi and south of Wuzhou!"
After receiving the order from Liji, the scout hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then turned on his horse, and rode away in the direction of Ma Yi without looking back.
And after the scout rode away, Liji, who was under the wall of Wuzhou Saiguan, fell into a long period of thought.
"Hu left from Mayi, and did not go to Wuzhou ······"
"Hiss ······"
With a mutter, Reiji immediately raised her head and gently picked the beard on her chin with her thumb and forefinger.
The situation is already obvious.
After Liji led Captain Huben to lurk in the mountains and forests on the east side of the Mayi-Wuzhou line to Wuzhou Sai, and recaptured Wuzhou Sai, the siege of Mayi was fully formed.
In the south, Jin She led tens of thousands of Han troops and waited in Mayi;
In the north, Liji led the captain of the tiger book, and defended it according to the Wuzhou fortress wall;
Coupled with the mountains towering on the east and west, it was enough to ensure that the Huns in the encirclement could not escape from this 'siege of Mayi'.
To break through, the Huns had only two options.
- Or, continue to the south, directly attack Mayi, and take advantage of the situation to enter the northern area of the Han Dynasty, the side wall of the Han family, and then from other directions, try to get out;
Or, turn around from the city of Mayi and launch a fierce attack on the Wuzhou Fortress where Liji is stationed, trying to return to the grassland north of the Great Wall from the shortest distance.
At present, the Huns did not break through Mayi, nor did they appear south of Wuzhou;
This means that the Huns did not break through the encirclement at all.
Unless······
"-Unless between the mountains and forests, there is a sheep intestine trail taken by Han merchants and traitors!"
Thinking of this, Reiyo's eyes widened and he looked in the direction of Ma Yi with worry.
Whether it is the tens of thousands of Han troops stationed in Mayi under the leadership of Jin She, or the Han soldiers stationed in Wuzhou under the command of Lijihu, they are all infantry without exception!
This means that in the current situation, if Jin She wants to find the hiding place of the Huns on the Mayi-Wuzhou line, he must ensure that he is in camp step by step, so as not to be raided by the Hun cavalry;
And taking it one step at a time means it takes a lot of time.
It will take the time it takes to get some key people out of this 'siege of Mayi'······
"Someone!"
Thinking of this, Lisu did not hesitate any longer, tore her throat and let out a cry, and trotted towards her warhorse;
After a while, Captain Huben also hurriedly came to Liji's side, subconsciously reached out to hold Liji's war horse, and did not forget to look up at Liji.
Seeing Captain Huben's resolute, but still a little green, looking up at him under the war horse, Liji's face couldn't help but flash a trace of hesitation.
- Captain Hu Ben, it is the hard work of Liu Ying, the son of heaven, and he is a son of the Han family in his good years!
With these still a little young sons and daughters, one by one future stars, to take such a huge risk······
"General!"
"Captain Huben's department, set off immediately!"
"Go south along Wuzhou, step by step, looking for the traces of Hu Man!
”
After a short ideological struggle, Liji finally relented and issued this military order that was likely to cause loopholes in the siege of Mayi due to his own decisions.
- Captain Huben, it is indeed very precious!
- The siege of Mayi is indeed rare!
But whether it is the precious tiger armor sword pawn, or this 'siege of Mayi' that will surely go down in history, the only significance for the Han family is to leave as many Huns as possible on the line-Wuzhou line!
If in order to protect Captain Huben and let the main force of the Huns who have fallen into the encirclement, especially Zuo Xian Wang Ji Ji Porridge himself, escape, Lizhi will definitely live in great regret and self-blame for the rest of his life!
As for the unauthorized transfer of troops, it is indeed a bit risky to make such an extremely crucial loophole as the 'Wuzhou Fortress' appear in the encirclement that has already been formed.
But the experience of marching over the years has made a very demagogic voice continue to sprout in Liji's heart at this moment.
——If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger······
