Beacon fire everywhere Chapter 193 Eighty thousand Xianbei encircled the five plains
One hundred miles north of Wuyuan City, in the surrendered city, Xianbei 80,000 cavalry were stationed here.
Speaking of this surrendered city (later generations called the new Hure City, it was built in the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (1o4 BC, it was built by the order of Emperor Wu of "General Yinyu" Gongsun Ao. In the second year of the beginning of Taichu, the Xiongnu left the captain Y-killed Shan Yu in the uprising, took refuge in the Han Dynasty, and was killed by Shan Yuxian and attempted to mutiny, but since then the history has left the name of "surrendered city", in fact, there has been no surrender at all.
The location of the surrendered city is in Jiaotong, which used to belong to the hub of the Han and Xiongnu Jiao. Later, the Huns moved westward, and the city fell into the hands of the Xianbei people, and the city could store grain and garrison, becoming the bridgehead for the Xianbei people to invade the south.
According to Zhao Xing's troop deployment, the soldiers and horses of the state took the initiative to withdraw from several cities in Xi'anyang, Chengyi and Yiliang, and heavily guarded the county seat of Wuyuan, that is, Wuyuan City. Now there are 5,000 Flying Tiger Army, 5,000 Crouching Tiger Army, 10,000 Pioneer Army, 10,000 Crouching Tiger New Army, the city has been strengthened and increased by Cui Yan's requisition, and there are a large number of arrows and grain and grass in the city, which cannot be lost.
"Qi Yu Da Danyu, after the sentinel scouts reconnoitred everywhere, now there are no Han troops stationed in Xi'anyang, Chengyi and Yiliang and other places, and the Han people have all moved to the Great Wall, leaving only a few empty cities, which are useless. The leader of a vanguard army under his command reported to him.
"Is there a Han army stationed in Wuyuan City?" asked Helian.
"There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Han army stationed in it, intending to defend the city and fight with me for a long time!" replied the tribal leader.
"The Han people's fortress is unusually strong, if there is no siege equipment to assist, only cavalry attack, then the clansmen will definitely suffer heavy casualties, not what I want!" He Lian said with a frown.
"Since the Han people want to defend the city, our people might as well go around the city and take Linwo and Heyin dozens of miles south of the city of Wuyuan, if the Han people go out of the city to rescue, just in time for a decisive battle with them in the wilderness; if the Han people do not come out of the city, we will follow the Yellow River to the east and then go down to Wudu and Manbo, and then Keshanan, Tongguo and Luoxian, and then go south along the Yellow River, straight to the West River, at this time, the Han people have thousands of troops and horses, how can they help our people come and go like the wind!" A tribal leader who was familiar with the terrain of the southern states and had followed his father's raids on the states suggested.
"The leader of Tuoba is reasonable, this expedition, our people must not be entangled with the Han people under one city and one pool, but look to the south, feed the war with war, and wantonly destroy the cultivated land and villages of the Han people, so that their vitality will be greatly damaged!"
"Shall we ignore the Wuyuan City occupied by the Han Chinese? If the Han people block the road back to the north after we go south, won't our people be in danger?" asked an old leader with a bit of strategic foresight.
"Of course, we can't sit idly by and ignore the Han people in Wuyuan City, we only need to leave 20,000 horses to feint outside the city, the Han generals are generally timid and afraid of death, and when they see our army operating outside the city, they will not dare to go out of the city to fight!" He Lian said.
"Wouldn't such a division of troops go against the three-way strategy that Da Dan Yu had set at the beginning?" said the leader of the Murong Xianbei tribe.
"The Han people have a saying: 'Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent,' and when the situation changes, how can we stick to the strategy set at the beginning? The goal of our current large-scale army battle is to destroy the foundation of the state and recover a large area of land outside the Great Wall, and as for how many Han troops can be killed or wounded, it depends on the situation, and we should not be too demanding!" He Lian said.
"Pass my order, the army will rest in place for a day, and the Japanese soldiers will be in Wuyuan City in the future, so that the Han army can see the majesty of our army!" He Lian gave an order.
At the head of Wuyuan City, several veterans from the Shangdang are in charge of lookout.
"Xie Lao Liu, you said that this time you fought against the Xianbei people, what tasks can we get from the Crouching Tiger Army?" A longbowman in his thirties stabbed the deputy company commander who was staring into the distance with his elbow.
"Our task is, of course, to hold on to Wuyuan City! As long as the Crouching Tiger Army has 3,000 brothers stationed in Wuyuan City, even if the Xianbei people come and thousands of troops and horses, they will not want to break through the city!" said the deputy company commander known as Xie Lao Liu.
"That's right, our brothers of the Crouching Tiger Army, all of them have drunk blood on the battlefield, it doesn't matter if he comes from a Xianbei or a Qianghu, let's kill one if he comes, let's kill a pair when he comes to two!
Several soldiers on duty were surrounding their deputy company commanders and talking nonsense, and suddenly saw the leader's face change, only to hear Xie Laoliu say in a deep voice: "Light the beacon fire to warn, report to the battalion commander, the vanguard of the Xianbei people has come!"
In the end, it was the first jīng rui of the Zhenbei Army, and I saw that after several veterans of the Crouching Tiger Army on duty heard Xie Laoliu's order, they did not panic at all, and immediately acted according to the division of tasks.
The military situation of the Xianbei people arriving in Wuyuan City was immediately reported to the Zhenbei general Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing stopped the spear he was waving, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in a deep voice, "Oh, the Xianbei people are really fast, go, everyone go to the city and take a look!"
Subsequently, the commanders, divisions, and division commanders of the various armies followed Zhao Xing's footsteps to the head of Wuyuan City, only to see that the cavalry of the Xianbei people outside the city was boundless, and they were gradually converging, surging towards Sim-N, preparing to surround Wuyuan City.
"Looking at this formation, there are not 30,000 Xianbei people who are standing in front of you, but also 20,000, right?" Zhao Xing muttered to Tian Feng beside him.
"Judging by the number of smoke and dust in the distance, there should be 20,000 horses. Tian Feng said.
"This group of things that don't know whether they are alive or dead, if they hide in the depths of the grassland, they will teach me to have no way to start, and now they are gathered in one place, which is just convenient for the Zhenbei Army to show their skills!" Zhao Xing looked into the distance contemptuously, not worried at all because his own number was less than Xianbei.
"If the Xianbei people besiege but do not attack, and go around the city to the south, how should they respond?" Guo Jia asked.
"If this is the case, I have to leave a force to trap the lonely city, and the rest of the men and horses break through and go to Tongguo and Luoxian to set up ambushes, and the Xianbei people must not be allowed to break through the defense line of the Great Wall. ”
By noon, the number of Xianbei people continued to increase, and there were already tents and camps of Xianbei people outside the four m-n, which seemed to be trying to trap the defenders in Wuyuan City to death.
"Hehe, this Helian is also a wonderful person, he actually played the trick of 'surrendering the army without a fight', intending to rely on the strength of the Xianbei people to break the fighting spirit of my soldiers and the state!" Zhao Xing said to the generals with a smile.
"If the Zhenbei Legion is so easily intimidated, we don't need to be called by the Xianbei people, we just run away, and stay here to do something!" Guan Yu said with a relaxed face, as if it was someone else who was besieged, not himself.
"Xianbei people have learned to be obedient this time, and they don't dare to rush forward with their brains m-n, and they haven't even tried to attack x-ng so far!" Xu Huang frowned and said.
"I'm afraid that the Xianbei people also know the power of the Shangdang longbow, and they don't dare to send people to attack the city, so as not to be in vain. Chen Gong said.
"We have prepared wine and food for Helian in Wuyuan City, but it is obvious that people are not planning to come over for the banquet, it seems that we are going to be in trouble!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought of Guo Jia's question.
"Wuyuan City is guarded in the road of the Xianbei people going south and returning to the north, and it is easy to give up, since the Xianbei people are besieging and not attacking, then we have to go out of the city to find fighters!" Guo Jia said in a deep voice.
