Chapter 60: Guo Yan Died in Battle
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was a cavalry unit established against the Hun cavalry.
Therefore, both the defense and the attack were slightly stronger than the Hun cavalry.
It's almost a face.
Thousands of people were cut off their horses.
The general who had just left behind the broken was even killed by Dong Yue with a sword.
Xiliang Iron Riding is just a few back and forth interspersed.
After the Xiongnu broke off, the 5,000 cavalry troops were killed and wounded.
There is no stop.
Dong Yue immediately continued to lead the army forward.
Soon he came to the nearest city in Liangzhou.
I also saw the smoke of gunpowder all over the city.
The flames rose into the sky.
Screams and wails continued.
Seeing such a scene.
Dong Yue gritted his teeth with hatred.
The cities closest to Liangzhou were all destroyed by the vanguard of the Xiongnu into this state.
Not to mention those cities that had been occupied by the Xiongnu not long ago.
Maybe the people inside are already ......
"Brute!"
Dong Yue roared angrily.
but two thousand men were left to prepare the city.
The rest of the army continued to advance.
It's just that the more cities you pass through.
Dong Yue also became more and more angry.
But at the same time, he kept thinking rationally.
Along the way, so many cities did not encounter a large force of Xiongnu troops.
It's clear that they're brewing something.
The more Dong thought about it, the more wrong it became.
"Someone! Order all armies to rest on the spot, build defenses, and beware of Hun raids! ”
Dong Yue immediately ordered.
"Guo Yan, do you have a map with you?"
Dong Yue hurriedly called Guo Yan over.
Guo Yan immediately took out the map.
It doesn't matter.
Dong Yue's face suddenly changed greatly.
"Quick! The whole army is ready! ”
"Withdraw! Withdrawal! ”
Dong Yue hurriedly rushed out of the camp and shouted to the sky.
He finally knew something was wrong!
No wonder you didn't run into the Hun army along the way!
The cities of Liangzhou are almost always arranged in a line on the map.
Because the left and right terrain is higher.
Only the middle is suitable for building a city.
But there are also many ravines in the vicinity.
Although it is deep, it is not bottomless.
If the Xiongnu had a heart, they could come through the valley after filling it in.
It's just that for a long time, those valleys were heavily guarded.
The Huns almost sent one person to die.
So he gave up the fight for the ravine.
But some time ago, Dong Zhuo led the army to attack.
Almost all the troops in all places were drained.
There were no more than a hundred garrisons stationed in these ravines.
It was easy to sneak up on these defenders in the middle of the night and assassinate them.
The valley can then be filled.
So.
The Xiongnu and the 36 countries of the Western Regions had many more roads leading to Liangzhou.
So.
As long as Dong Yue and them lure the enemy deeper.
The Xiongnu could then take a detour from these paths to send troops.
Surround them.
Damn it!
Guo Yan was also shocked.
Something immediately came to his mind.
His face turned pale.
However, at this time.
In front of the army, there was a sudden sound of shouting and the sound of horses' hooves kicking.
Not good!
It's already here!
Dong Yue and Guo Yan hurriedly rushed to the army to organize defense.
The Hun cavalry must not be allowed to break up the formation.
Otherwise, they will only be beaten!
However, when Dong Yue realized this, it was still too late.
When the military formation was not yet formed.
Not far away, the valley drilled out the cavalry troops of the Huns.
Screaming and rushing to the left of the army.
The left flank of the army was almost defenseless.
In an instant, it was interspersed with tens of thousands of Hun cavalry.
The formation suddenly became chaotic.
Dong Yue had no choice but to let Guo Yan guard the front army.
He hurried to the left flank to stabilize the military position.
The strength composition of the Xiongnu army was mainly cavalry.
Because their charge is fast.
It didn't take long from Dong Yue ordering the army to assemble the army to the front of the battle.
It was when the military formation was not yet formed.
The Xiongnu army was like a sharp sword, fiercely plunged into the front army.
Tens of thousands of cavalry almost interspersed back and forth, disrupting the formation of the army.
Guo Yan could only hurriedly take his cronies around to rescue.
However, his actions soon attracted the attention of the Xiongnu army.
"Tren, this guy looks like the leader of the Han Chinese, right?"
"You go and kill him, cut off his head and bring him back."
The Hun general spoke.
Hearing this, Tren nodded and licked his lips.
Then he led a team of elite cavalry to kill Guo Yan.
Woohoo!
A strange cry came.
Guo Yan followed the voice.
It was found that a Xiongnu general was leading people towards him.
Immediately, his eyes froze.
He knew that once he was targeted, there was nowhere to run.
"Prepare for battle!"
Guo Yan shouted.
A group of cronies hurriedly prepared for defense.
Followed by.
The two sides slammed into each other.
However, no matter how strong the cronies around Guo Yan are, they can't compare to the elite of the elite of the Xiongnu army.
A dog has his day.
It's just a face.
The defense of the crowd tore apart like a wither.
Then in Guo Yan's angry gaze.
A cold light flashed.
Tren had an extra human head in his hand.
He immediately waved the human head and shouted loudly.
Dong Yue, who has been fighting with the Huns and the Western Regions all year round, can naturally understand the meaning of this shout.
Suddenly, my heart trembled.
Look back.
He saw the angry head of Guo Yan in Tren's hand.
"Guo Yan!"
Dong Yue shouted in grief.
This friend who has known him for several years.
I didn't expect to die here.
"Lao Tzu fought with you!"
Dong Yue killed the two Hun soldiers in front of him with a sword.
Roaring in anger, he lunged at Tren.
Situation
More and more tragic!
The other side.
Duan Xuan and Sun Jian also resisted Liangzhou.
But he unexpectedly found that almost all the cities on the entire Liangzhou front did not have decent defenders.
Until after entering the city.
Only then did they learn that Dong Yue led the army to resist the Xiongnu.
Got the news.
Duan Xuan and Sun Jian couldn't help but be silent for a long time.
"Sun Jian, you go back immediately and report the attack of the Hun army to the emperor."
"I have war experience with the Huns from the Western Regions, so I can lead the army to support."
Duan Xuan thought about it again and again.
In the end, he decided to cut it first.
led the army to support Dong Yue's army first.
Despite the fact that both sides are enemies.
But in the face of righteousness, Duan Xuan didn't want to take advantage of people's danger.
Infighting can be fought.
But externally, be consistent.
Sun Jian also knows the importance of things.
Therefore, he did not refuse Duan Xuan's order.
Instead, he left immediately.
After Duan Xuan saw the other party leaving, he immediately led his army to attack the battlefield.
The great war of the Huns was absolutely extraordinary.
Moreover, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions also jointly sent troops.
Liangzhou's only 100,000 soldiers and horses are absolutely unable to resist.
This is very clear to Duan Xuan, who has dealt with the Xiongnu Western Regions countless times.
Even the people who brought it themselves were not enough to see.
The Hun army was no joke.
In the absence of a strong cavalry confrontation on one side.
The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Huns were simply a nightmare for the infantry.
