Chapter 133: Unexpected
On the frontal battlefield, the Huns attacked fiercely for more than an hour, but still could not make any progress, and the two sides fought in the broken dense forest, which continued to swallow the soldiers of both sides like a life-devouring monster.
In the fierce fighting in the dense forest, many chaotic shouts and running suddenly sounded, and then, the edge of the woods was crowded, and the attacking Hun army retreated in a hurry!
A round of onslaught was again declared a failure.
King Youxian was annoyed, and the urge to kill was surging in his heart, and he couldn't help but scold: "It's failed again!" It failed again......! "He doesn't understand, how can the Han army still hold out in the face of its huge forces?!
Thinking of the elite behind the sneak attack on the Han army, he couldn't help but feel a sense of hope in his heart, and looked up at the mountain behind the battlefield, but there was no movement there, which made the Right Xian King anxious.
"Look, my lord!" Someone next to him suddenly pointed to the right and shouted.
King Youxian immediately looked in the direction of his finger, only to see Zhao De, who should have appeared behind the Han army, and the elite army actually rushed from the right side.
King Youxian's face immediately darkened, and he knew that the raid had failed.
Zhao De rode his horse and went straight to the Right Xian King, hugged his fists and said, "Great King, the raid was unsuccessful. ……”
King Youxian asked with a gloomy face, "How did you promise me in the first place?" ”
Zhao De frowned and said, "I didn't expect that Yuan Mai to be so cunning, he actually expected our intentions, and set up an ambush over there early." ……”
The Right Virtuous King snorted, didn't see Thoth's figure, and thought that he didn't dare to come to see him and hid in the middle of the cavalry, so he immediately raised his voice angrily and shouted: "Thoth, get out and see me!" ”
The Hun cavalry under Thoth's command who had fled back looked at each other, and one of the Hun cavalry saluted to the Right Xian King: "Great King, Thoth leader him, he was killed by the Han Dynasty general named Yuan Mai!" ……”
King Youxian's face changed, and he shouted, "What?!" ”
The Hun cavalry was terrified and hung their heads.
The Right Virtuous King only felt a boundless anger gushing up,
During this period of time, he can be said to be invincible, and the Han army he encountered was invincible, but he didn't expect that Yuan Mai in front of him would fight so hard, and he repeatedly lost his troops and generals, how could this not make him angry?
King Youxian said word by word with a cold face: "If you don't buy Yuan with a thousand knives, I will never withdraw my troops!" ”
Zhao De couldn't wait for him to be like this, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Yuan Mai dares to provoke the majesty of the king, if he can't be completely destroyed, where is the majesty of the king!" ”
King Youxian shouted at the leaders around him, "All the armies attack!" ”
The leaders hurriedly gave orders, and more than 100,000 Hun cavalry were fully mobilized, and they were about to launch a fierce attack with all their strength.
Zhao De looked at the mountain, although his brows were slightly furrowed, but there was a fierce look in his eyes. Because in Zhao De's view, although the Xiongnu side has not succeeded for a long time, the outcome of this war is actually doomed.
Because Yuan Mai and they are almost all infantry, and they can resist at this moment completely relying on the geographical advantages of this area, so they can't break through at all.
Because once they left the favorable terrain and came to the plains, they could only be slaughtered under the sweep of the Hun cavalry.
So what happens if they stay on demand? Staying on the back burner is arguably the most feasible strategy at the moment, but this is when there is plenty of food and grass.
The grain and grass baggage in Yuan Mai's hand was almost lost when it was raided before, and according to Zhao De's estimate, Yuan Mai's remaining grain and grass baggage could only last for four days at most.
However, it took six or seven days for Yuan Shao's main force to arrive, and they couldn't wait at all.
To sum up, Zhao De thought that in the worst-case scenario, he would be able to completely annihilate the difficult army in front of him on the fifth day, and then kill Yuan Mai.
At this moment, a Hun cavalry suddenly galloped from the rear. Rushed into the Chinese army, passed through a group of Hun cavalry, and went straight to the side of the Right Xianwang. Hurriedly reined in the war horse, and shouted anxiously: "Oh no, the king, Taiyuan is lost!" ”
When everyone present heard this, they were all stunned, just like a group of chickens and ducks who were stupid by the thunder, and they were really the so-called dumbfounded. This news was such a surprise! The accident is not real at all!
King Youxian came back to his senses first, glared at him and roared, "What nonsense are you talking about?!" How could Taiyuan be lost?! ”
The cavalry was frightened by the angry appearance of King Youxian, and hurriedly stammered: "Yes, it's the Han army,......"
King Youxian scolded: "Nonsense! Where can the Han army come to fight my Taiyuan?! ”
It's no wonder that King Youxian doesn't believe it, because at this moment, Yuan Shao's army is still three or four days away from here, let alone to raid Taiyuan.
Dingxiang was besieged by other Hun troops, and it was impossible for the remnants of the city to leave the city, let alone fight Taiyuan.
As for Dong Zhuo's forces in the southwest, they are fighting with Ma Teng at the moment, and they have to guard against Cao Cao and Sun Jian in the east of Hangu Pass, so it is impossible to take care of them at all, so there is no army at this time to fight Taiyuan.
How can people believe that Taiyuan will be lost in this situation?
The cavalry hurriedly said: "Yes, it is the banner of the Yulin Army, and it is the thousands of elites led by Zhang Liao, the general under Yuan Mai!" ……”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, still feeling incredulous, Zhao De frowned and said, "Zhang Liao, didn't they go to Dingxiang?" Why did it suddenly appear in Taiyuan? ”
In fact, how did they know that when Zhang Lang was raided by the Hun army, he had already sent an order to Zhang Liao with flying pigeons.
And Zhang Lang's order was not to call Zhang Liao to rescue him, but to tell them to raid Taiyuan. Because in Zhang Lang's view, the Right Xian King who poured out of the nest gave him an excellent fighter, and he could completely ask Zhang Liao to take the opportunity to seize Taiyuan.
King Youxian calmed down a little, looked at the cavalry who came to report the news, and asked in a deep voice: "How could Taiyuan be lost, didn't I leave thousands of defenders behind?" What exactly do they eat? ”
The cavalry swallowed his saliva and said: "Han army, the Han army pretended to be our Huns, pretending to escort a large number of captured Han troops to the south city gate, saying that they were ordered to escort the captives back."
We, we didn't expect it to be a trick of the Han Dynasty people to open the city gate, but they poured into the city and suddenly attacked, we suffered heavy casualties at once, and even the two leaders were beheaded by that Zhang Liao in the first place!
We couldn't resist and were quickly overwhelmed! Only a handful of people escaped! ……”
Zhao De saw that the face of the Right Xian King was very ugly, and he was worried that he would give up the siege of Yuan Mai and go back to fight for Taiyuan.
Hurriedly said: "King, victory is just around the corner, if you give up at this time, won't it be all in vain if you lose so many warriors before and pay so much hard work?" It's time to annihilate Yuan Mai in one go, and it's not too late to make other plans! ”
