In the Han army barracks, Shen Chen was overlooking the entire battlefield from a high turret above a camp on the north side.

Now there was chaos outside the camp, and the sounds of fighting between the two sides were incessant.

However, the Han army had already been prepared, so in fact, the soldiers retreated in an orderly manner, luring the enemy into the depths, preparing to annihilate the Wei army that had entered the camp in one fell swoop.

On the side of the Huns, he did not let down his vigilance, but also left about 5,000 reserves to prepare to deal with the Huns.

In fact, he led more than 20,000 people to the north, plus Zhao Yun's 40,000 horses, the total number of troops was only about 60,000 people, which was not too much.

And some of them are about 10,000 people who are still sleeping in the middle camp, because they are tired from attacking the city during the day, Shen Chen asked this part of the soldiers to rest when they should rest, and wait until the special horn sounded before fighting.

Counting the 10,000 people who went out to capture the city, the Han army that is actually fighting now is only about 40,000 people, and the Wei army has also dispatched more than 40,000 people, if the Huns see the Wei army's offensive like fire and want to rebel again, the number of enemies is more than 70,000.

The huge difference in numbers looks like the Han army will be at a disadvantage.

However, Shen Chen didn't think that the Wei army and the Huns were difficult to deal with, a group of peasants who had just picked up arms not long ago, and the Huns who had extremely poor weapons and equipment, and who did not have much military morale, he didn't pay attention to them at all.

In a head-to-head battle, I am afraid that it will take at least three Wei armies or Huns to defeat a Han army, and the elite level and actual combat training of the two sides are not at the same level at all.

Therefore, Shen Chen is really luring the enemy deep now, giving up the front battalions of each department to the Wei army, and waiting for the Wei army to rush into the trap, and then the whole army will attack.

Seeing that at least 20,000 Wei troops had entered the front camp, Shen Chen was preparing to deploy according to the plan and began to make dumplings for the Wei army.

At this moment, the sound of thousands of iron horses galloping sounded in the night sky.

"What's going on?"

Shen Chen suddenly felt a thrill.

The direction of the sound was not coming from the Huns in the north at all, but from the direction of his own rear camp.

Just hearing the sound of horses' hooves, which made the earth tremble, was enough to judge that this was at least a cavalry force of more than 10,000 men.

Friend or foe?

There was only one thought in Shen Chen's heart.

As the chief general of the Western Front, he had no idea that he still had a cavalry of more than 10,000 people behind him.

Even if Yu Ban and the others in the rear recruited soldiers in Xiliang and sent them up after training, he would definitely get the news from there.

The last time the local officials in Liangzhou and Yizhou reported to him, they said that the newly trained soldiers in the rear would probably not be trained until the end of the year, and the cavalry troops would not be able to do so until next year.

That means not teammates.

Could it be Sima Yi?

He came so fast!

Shen Chen's mind flashed countless thoughts in just a few seconds, and then he gritted his teeth and said to the guards beside him: "Go, gather all the soldiers who are resting and hold the back camp." ”

Under such a special circumstance, the Huns who saw the wind and made the rudder were not necessarily reliable, and only by holding the rear camp first, and then repelling the frontal Wei army, and the main force retreating to Gaodu County, could the tactics change the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

However, Zhao Yun, the general next to him, said: "Don't worry, these people may be their own people." ”

"Your own people?"

Shen Chen first showed a surprised expression, then his mind turned slightly, and then he said in surprise: "Kong Ming? ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "At the beginning, Cheng said that the Huns were like grass on the wall, and they couldn't all be counted on, so they needed a surprise army, so they sent General Ma Chao from Nanyang." ”

"Good fellows."

Shen Chen glanced at Zhao Yun: "Even I am hiding this matter?" ”

Zhao Yunle said happily: "The prime minister said that he wanted to surprise the metropolitan governor, in case they suddenly killed when Sima Yi came to help, wouldn't it be just the right time?" ”

"It almost turned into a fright."

Shen Chen shook his head, Zhuge Liang's joke is too big, if he is worried that this cavalry of unknown origin is the enemy himself who gave the wrong order, then something big will happen.

No wonder Zhao Yun followed him every inch tonight, it turned out that he was probably afraid that he would make a mistake in command and reminded himself.

But since the reinforcements are coming, there is nothing to be afraid of, Shen Chen ordered: "Let General Ma outflank me in a roundabout way, annihilate this Wei army for me, and then give an order to the Huns, if they don't act, they will also die!" ”

"Yui!"

Zhao Yun immediately dispersed and sent two teams of heralds.

A group of fifty men, the scouts urged the horses, from the north gate and the west gate of the camp to the north and rear of the Han army.

The road to the north quickly left the camp and galloped to the side of the Huns, who were now extremely nervous, and in the wilderness under the light of the moon and fire, twenty or thirty thousand Hun cavalry slowly gathered together in the distance, crowded like a black cloud.

They looked at the camp of the Han army and the Wei army in the distance in the distance, and the mounts under the crotch seemed to be able to feel the mood of the master, quite irritable, all kinds of horse manure and horse smell were intertwined, making a radius of one or two square kilometers stink.

Liu Bao, Liu Xuan, Liu Qubei and other Hun leaders were slightly ahead, watching the battle between the two sides from a distance on a small hillside, and they were more concerned about the sound of thousands of horses galloping like rolling thunder in the west.

The Han army scouts quickly approached and found Liu Bao and them, and they were not polite, and the captain at the head shouted: "Liu Bao, the governor of the capital said, if you don't act, the Huns will be wiped out!" ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, he lifted the cane in his hand again, knocked it on Liu Bao's body fiercely, and angrily scolded in Xiongnu language: "Luan Tibao, since you have decided to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, you should be resolute to the end, and do great things without being decisive, do you want the clansmen to die with you?" ”

With a stick down, Liu Bao finally came to his senses this time.

In fact, the high-level of the Xiongnu people were also very vacillating, Liu Xuan was a staunch defector, Liu Bao and Liu Qubei were hesitant, and the rest did not want to get involved in the Han and Wei disputes and just wanted to flee north.

But now anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the arrival of this Han cavalry, the Wei army in Bingzhou has gone, if you can't make up your mind again, it is not good to say that the Han army will even pack up their Huns.

Therefore, Liu Bao and Liu Qubei, the two Xiongnu sage kings, and the supreme rulers in Huchuquan's absence no longer hesitated.

At the sound of an order, they gave a special whistle.

This whistle spread quickly, and in the policies of the various Xiongnu tribes, a large number of screams were immediately heard.

"What are you doing!"

"Huns, you are killing yourself!"

"Ahh

The chaos was fleeting, and at least hundreds of Wei troops died in the sneak attack of the Huns.

These people are all lieutenants and Simas among the Huns, the difference is that they are all Wei troops, and from the Cao Cao period, the low-level soldiers of the Huns were controlled by them.

However, although they were nominally able to control the horses, in reality the Huns would obey the orders of their tribal leaders.

Therefore, even if Cao Wei monitored the Huns in this way, it was only monitoring and could not achieve control.

At this moment, Liu Bao and the others finally made up their minds and no longer swayed from side to side. It's just that making up your mind now is obviously not a send-me-off, but the icing on the cake.

After the order was issued, Ma Chao's cavalry and the Huns' cavalry instantly began to outflank the Wei army in the east from the north and south at the same time.

The situation on the battlefield is changing too quickly, at this time, Biqiu Jian is still on horseback looking at the battlefield, one second is celebrating the joy of breaking through the Han camp, and the next second he hears the sound of horses' hooves rolling like the waves of the sea in the distance.

"What's going on?"

Biqiu Jian's face changed greatly, and he looked around and said, "Why is there still the voice of cavalry in the west?" ”

Liang Xizhen was guarding the city, followed by the general Wang Xiu, he looked to the west, the direction of the Han camp was now surging with flames, countless Wei troops poured into the Han army camp like ants, and a large number of Wei troops were attacking outside the camp.

Because he couldn't see the situation clearly from a distance, he couldn't make a judgment, so he guessed: "Could it be that the Han army deliberately concentrated the horses to make a noise and wanted to scare us away?" ”

"Something is wrong, the Huns should rest and rest, why haven't they attacked?"

Biqiu Jian looked to the north again.

The Huns launched a night attack, breaking through several Han strongholds, and at the same time attracting the attention of a large number of Han troops, creating conditions for their attack, and now it is understandable that they should go there first to rest because of their heavy losses.

However, the Wei army had already broken through the front camp of the Han army, leaving only the middle and rear camps, and the Han army was obviously crumbling, and it was a matter of life and death.

If the Huns had been smart, they should have been the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Why do they stay where they are?

"We sent some people over to urge them to attack, and Liu Bao used the excuse that the soldiers had suffered heavy casualties and needed to rest."

Wang Xiu hesitated and asked, "Do you want to send someone again?" ”

"No need."

Biqiu Jian suddenly laughed, pointed over there and said, "Look, they're starting to act. ”

A large number of Huns quickly assembled at the call of the horn.

The moonlight fell on the earth, and in the silver glow, countless Huns longed for black shadows and began to urge the horses to gallop, like a black cloud falling to the ground, to envelop everything in front of them.

They were very fast, and seemed to be intending to get close to the right side of the Wei army and then respond to them.

But Qiu Jian's smile barely lasted long, because he found that after approaching the right side of the Wei army, the Huns did not stop, but continued to charge.

"The Huns have rebelled again!"

Biqiu Jian's eyes widened, and before he could react, more than 30,000 Hun cavalry were like a sharp chisel, cutting through the Wei army from the flank.

Cavalry cannot rush into a frontal formation, but whether it is the ancient Roman Caesar period, or the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, there are a large number of infantry fighting head-on, and the cavalry rushes from both flanks to form a pincer attack, blocking the waist and cutting the enemy's formation.

The Wei army that happened to be in Biqiu Jian was attacking the Han army in the west from the east, and the Huns were in the direction of due north, and when they raided south, they happened to break the right flank of the Wei army attacking from east to west.

For a time, the entire right flank of the Wei army was in chaos, and Biqiu Jian was busy trying to send the reserves behind him to bypass the rear of the battlefield and defeat those Huns.

But before he could give the order, all kinds of screams and fighting cries were heard from the left flank of the Wei army to the south.

By the light of the fire of the Han camp in the distance and the bright moonlight, Biqiu Jian turned his head and clearly saw that he didn't know when another group of Han cavalry appeared, and the number was very large, at least more than one or two thousand, surging forward.

The Han cavalry also cut through their left flank from the side of the Wei army, and for a time the entire Wei army, the middle army and the rear army had not yet entered the Han camp, and the troops were in chaos.

In the midst of the flames, a large number of Wei troops who had not even come into contact with the enemy turned around and fled.

"Run."

"Don't bump me, don't bump me, ah!!"

"Don't step on it, don't step on it!"

"Defeated, defeated."

All sorts of gibble sounds filled the battlefield.

In fact, it was only about a few thousand people from the north and south flanks who were attacked.

Including the Huns and the Han cavalry, there were not many people who fought directly with the Wei army, and only a few thousand people who charged at the front fought with the Wei army.

But at this time, the weakness of the Wei army's insufficient training, low quality soldiers, and non-elite army was exposed.

It's okay to fight a tailwind battle, once you encounter such an unexpected situation, the army is suddenly defeated, and many Wei troops don't even see the shadow of the enemy, they only hear the chaos in front of them, so they instinctively turn around and run.

Even though the officers of the Wei army kept shouting and shouting, they were powerless to resist in this situation of the enemy army roaring like a flood and the recoiling of our army, and it was soon a rout.

At this time, Shen Chen's ambush in the rear was exhausted, and the mountains were full of Han troops in all directions, and the Wei army that had entered the front camp came to catch turtles in an urn.

At this time, the Wei troops in the Han camp all became overwhelmed.

The reinforcements behind them were cut off by the Huns and the Han cavalry, and they all fled, and in front of them were the Han army with a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis, and in the midst of the fire, countless Wei troops fled in panic, and the entire battlefield became a mess.

"Mingjin, quick, back to the city."

Biqiu Jian still has some ability, and he is anxious to see the situation in front of him, but he understands that now that the general trend has gone, these Wei troops themselves are not elite, and it is impossible to organize them again in the case of defeat.

The only possibility now is to retreat to the city immediately, and when Sima Yi's reinforcements arrive, there is still the possibility of turning defeat into victory, or holding on to the annexation of the state.

For a while, the sound of "Dangdang Dang Dang" resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Wei army was already running away, but now it was running faster.

Armor, weapons, and banners were thrown on the side of the road, and there were fallen comrades and comrades running for their lives everywhere, and many people were panicked and rushed everywhere, and countless Wei soldiers fell and trampled to death.

Biqiu Jian had been supervising the battle from behind, and he was the fastest on horseback, almost the first to run all the way to the city of Gaodu County, shouting to the above: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

"Good!"

There was an answer from above, and then a young general in his thirties showed his head, smiled brightly below, and then in Biqiu Jian's shocked eyes, he bent his bow and arrows and shot at him violently!

"Poof!"

Biqiu Jian happened to look back at the situation of his pursuers, and when he looked back again, he only saw sharp arrows, and for a moment he only had time to make a shocked expression, and the arrows shot into his chest like meteors.

"Bang!"

The Lord will fall heavily from his horse to the earth.

Then thousands of Han soldiers appeared on the west gate of Gaodu County, and arrows rained out.
