Chapter Twenty-Three: Touman defeats Wusun

In the afternoon of this day, a fast horse rushed into the camp of the Zhaowu Tiger Army. handed a reply letter from Meng Tian to Fusu. After Fusu dismantled the review, he immediately summoned all the generals to the big tent of the Chinese army and issued an order to pull out the camp and raise the village.

An hour later, the 50,000-strong Tiger Ben army left the Zhaowu camp and marched towards the Toumandan Yu camp. As soon as the Fusu army left Zhaowu, the Xiongnu scouts lurking near the Huben army camp rushed back to the Xiongnu camp with the news that the Fusu army had been opened.

"Yu Da Danyu, the Qin army stationed in Zhaowu suddenly pulled out of the camp an hour ago and came towards our camp. I thought that the Qin army would storm our camp tonight," Tancai told Tou Mandanyu the details of what he saw Fusu raising troops, and told his guess together.

Tou Manshan pondered for a while, but didn't understand what Fusu's intention was. I could only reluctantly make preparations to resist the Fusu army.

As soon as Tou Manshan was ready at this end, Fusu led the army of Huben to rush outside the Xiongnu camp.

Fusu came to the gate of the Xiongnu camp under the protection of several generals. Send a lieutenant to call for battle.

I saw this captain beat his horse and came to the gate of the Hun camp, and shouted in a raised voice;

"My son-in-law invited Tou Manshan Yu to come out for a while, I don't know if Shan Yu has the courage to come out of the camp to meet."

After the captain finished speaking, he hit his horse and returned to Fusu's side.

After a while, the gate of the Xiongnu camp slowly opened, and Toumandanyu walked out of the Xiongnu camp under the protection of several partial generals, and came to the front of the Huben army fifty steps away from Fusu.

"It's the head man who came," Fusu asked knowingly.

"Fusu's little nephew, it's your uncle"

"My son does have an uncle, but he was infected with the plague in the early years and was taken away by the wild dogs on the grassland. I heard that my uncle's heart and lungs were eaten by the plague ghosts, and your Hun medical officer replaced them with the heart of a wild wolf and the lungs of a mad dog. Fusu looked at Tou Manshan Yu and said with interest.

"I ......" Tou Mandan was speechless for a moment when he spoke, not knowing how to answer. A face was about to be deformed.

Han Xin and the other soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army leaned forward and leaned back with laughter when they heard this. They didn't expect Fusu to scold people so fresh and refined, and it was so poisonous.

"Huangkou child, Hugh has to use his tongue, but he can't say that he can't retreat from my Hun army."

After a simple verbal exchange, Tou Manshan judged that he was not Fusu's opponent. had to change the topic and give up arguing with Fusu, and shift Fusu's focus to the confrontation between the two armies.

"Touman Lao'er, how can my son be afraid of you, why don't we send a team of five hundred people to each of our two families, let them fight in front of the two armies, and see who is defeated first?" Fusu looked at Tou Manshan Yu and suggested.

Regarding the series of abnormal behaviors shown by Fusu, Tou Manshan Yu did not know how to deal with it at all. Tens of thousands of troops marched dozens of miles from the camp, was it just to watch hundreds of people fight? The more Tou Manshan thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he focused his eyes on Fusu, trying to find something unusual from Fusu, I don't know if Fusu's acting skills were good or the purpose of this trip was to test the combat effectiveness of the two armies. Tou Manshan didn't see anything suspicious about Fusu at all.

"It's obviously full of conspiracy, why can't I think of it?" Touman racked his brains to guess Fusu's intentions, but unfortunately found that he couldn't see Fusu's conspiracy at all, and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Fusu's gourd.

"I think there are many ways to test the combat strength of your and my armies, and now we can't use the lives of hundreds of soldiers to test." Because he did not figure out Fusu's conspiracy, Touman Shan Yu cautiously rejected Fusu's proposal.

"Touman, since you don't have the ability to fight me, let's get out of here. This son is going to barbecue meat in front of your house with all the soldiers, so I won't talk nonsense with you. Fusu said disdainfully to Tou Mandanyu.

When Tou Mandan withdrew to the camp, Fusu set up a copper chain furnace in front of his own army and roasted mutton with Han Xin and others.

At this time, a full moon rose from a distance, and the Qin army outside the camp had already lit torches, and the flames of tens of thousands of torches illuminated half of the night sky. Tou Manshan Yu looked at Fusu and the others who were barbecuing in the firelight, and didn't know what to do. An inexplicable uneasiness emerged from the bottom of Tou Mandanyu's heart, he can be regarded as a person who has experienced countless battles, and he has never encountered a situation as strange as today.

Just when Tou Manshan Yu racked his brains to think about Fusu's strange behavior, a scout rushed to Tou Manshan Yu in a panic, and said to Tou Manshan Yu with a panicked face: "Da Shan Yu, a large number of Qin troops have appeared five miles behind my camp, and their number is no less than 100,000 people. ”。

After listening to the situation reported by the Tanqi, Tou Manshan Yu was completely stunned, and only then did he understand Fusu's trick. Whether it was suggesting that 500 soldiers fight, or putting a chain oven barbecue in front of his Xiongnu camp, Fusu was delaying time. His purpose was to wait for the appearance of this 100,000-strong army, so that he could flank his camp before and after. This is a clear plan to completely strangle his 60,000 troops in the land west of the river.

"100,000 troops, why haven't our scouts found out?" Tou Manshan asked unwillingly.

"Da Dan Yu, the cunning Qin people actually arranged a light cavalry to patrol in front of their army this time, specifically hunting and killing our Hun Tan cavalry, these light cavalry are each equipped with three horses, and the horses are endless. Once our scouts encounter these light horses, they have almost no chance of escaping. What's even more terrifying is that the bows and crossbows used by these cavalry are also different from the Qin bows they used before, which can shoot our scouts from a distance of 200 paces. The reason why I was able to come back alive was because people were too lazy to chase me and let me escape. ”

After listening to the news reported by the Tanqi, Tou Mandanyu was already frightened. Quickly gathered an army of 60,000 and rushed out of the gate to rush towards the Tiger Ben army of Fusu and kill it. As everyone knows, Fusu is waiting for Tou Mandan Yu to break through at this moment, and when Tou Mandan Yu army rushes out of the camp, Fusu ordered the Tiger Ben army to fire ten thousand arrows, and the rain of arrows shot by 50,000 steel crossbows instantly took the lives of thousands of Hun soldiers, and the Hun army had no choice but to withdraw to the camp. Tou Manshan was able to save his life under the desperate protection of a group of soldiers. It was not until this moment that Tou Manshan Yu completely believed what the Tanqi had said before, and was convinced that no Tanqi could escape from under this kind of bow and crossbow.

After Tou Mandan Yu withdrew to the camp, seeing that the Tiger Ben army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, his heart calmed down temporarily, and he seriously planned the next escape plan. There was a tiger army of Fusu in front, and 100,000 Qin troops behind him blocked the way to escape back to Mobei. After weighing it up, Tou Mandan decided to break through the gap between the two Qin armies before they were encircled. In this way, although it will be intercepted by the Yue army, it has a better chance of winning than breaking through at the Qin army.

After Tou Mandan Yu made the decision to break through, he led his army to run in the direction of Yueshi, while the two Qin troops chased after Tou Mandan Yu unhurriedly.

An hour later, Tou Mandan Yu fled to the area of Shichi, where the camp of the Yue King Huwei Sega was located.

Because the Yueshi people are accustomed to a nomadic life and have always lived in pursuit of water and grass, they have no habit of building cities. Although Shichi is said to be the royal city of the Yue Clan, it is essentially just a huge camp. Except for the 30,000 guards, they are almost in a state of naked running without danger to defend and no city to rely on.

When tens of thousands of Hun soldiers appeared near Shichi with torches, they shocked the tens of thousands of Yueshi people stationed in Shichi. When Hu Wei Sega saw tens of thousands of torches coming towards the pool, he immediately gathered the 30,000 troops guarding the pool and prepared to meet the enemy.

Due to the chaotic appearance of the Xiongnu soldiers when they retreated, and the difficulty of judging the intentions of the Xiongnu army at night, Hu Weisejia misjudged the intentions of the Xiongnu army, and mistakenly thought that the Xiongnu were attacking Shichi. Hu Wei Sejia had no choice but to lead 30,000 defenders to kill the Xiongnu army and plunge into a war that he did not know what to say. Besides, Tou Mandan was here, and when he saw the defenders of the Yue clan rushing towards him, he was even more furious, mistakenly thinking that the Yue clan had planned with Fusu to encircle and kill himself in Hexi, and as soon as the troops were engaged, they began to fight madly to break through.

When the Fusu army arrived at Shichi slowly, the battle between the Hun cavalry and the Yueshi army had come to an end, and I saw that Shichi City was lying full of dense corpses, and Hu Wei Sejia was sitting on the ground resting with blood stained faces. Touman Danyu led 20,000 remnants of the defeated army to break through and fled to the direction of Wusun.
