Chapter Forty-Eight: Intercepting and Killing Maudun
?
The Huns who escaped from the explosion gathered together, all of them with gray faces and embarrassed appearances.
Mao Dun asked people to roughly count the number of people, when he came, he brought a full 200,000 soldiers and horses, and after an overwhelming explosion, now only 150,000 gray and unmotivated remnants are left.
Turning back and glancing resentfully at the place where the Xia people gathered, Mao Dun waved his hand very reluctantly: "Withdraw the Great Huns!" ”
Mao Dun didn't know that when he led the army to 'advance' towards the Xia Kingdom, a Xia army also set out from Jiuyuan City and 'pressed' in the direction of the Xiongnu royal court.
Jing Ao, who was riding on horseback, shook his body slightly, this was the first time he had led the Guards on an expedition.
This army has the most advanced equipment, but also has the best quality soldiers, Xiang Ye sent them to the Xiongnu, in order to raze the Xiongnu royal court at one time, so that the Xiongnu people can also taste the loss of their relatives.
Because the king of Zuogu Liwang has been annihilated, the main force of the Xiongnu entered the territory of the Xia State again, and the Xia army drove all the way in, and arrived at a place only more than ten miles away from the Xiongnu royal court without resistance.
"General, the guards of the Xiongnu royal court are not tight, only hundreds of people are guarded!" A Xia army scout returned to the camp after spying on the intelligence, and wanted Jing Ao to report.
Jing Ao sat in the tent, and the expression on his face looked extremely tangled.
This time, Xiang Ye gave him a death order, and when he broke through the Xiongnu court, he must kill all the men, women, and children, and then immediately withdraw to the Xia Kingdom.
Xiang Ye has a sentence that he remembers very clearly-Kou can go, and I can also go!
The Huns could kill the subjects of the Xia State, and the Xia army could also kill the Huns.
When people are attacked by jackals, only by taking up arms and hitting jackals hard and letting them taste the taste of injury, can we really deter them and make them know how to be afraid!
"Inform the whole army to launch an attack on the Xiongnu royal court tonight!" Jing Ao gave an order to the soldiers he summoned into the tent with an expressionless face: "Tell the soldiers, this time we will kill them all, so that the Huns will never dare to covet our Great Xia, as long as it is the Huns we see, regardless of the male and female old and young, kill them all!" ”
"General, did the old man and the child kill too?" The soldiers looked at Jing Ao in disbelief.
Jing Ao didn't speak, just waved his hand to his soldiers and asked him to go out.
The soldiers walked out of the camp tent in a very tangled way and conveyed Jing Ao's order.
The people of the Xiongnu court were unaware of the danger that was close at hand, and the guards they set up on the periphery had long been 'touched' by the Xia army one by one, and now they were like a group of blind and deaf people.
As soon as it was dark, the court of the Xiongnu was quiet, and people returned to their tents and fell asleep.
Jing Ao led 30,000 Xia troops to slowly advance towards the Xiongnu royal court, and when they advanced to only about fifty steps, the Xia army could already clearly see the scene of the royal court.
"Kill!" Pushing forward a little more, Jing Ao waved the spear in his hand and took the lead in rushing towards the Xiongnu royal court.
Although there were hundreds of Xiongnu warriors guarding the Xiongnu royal court, at night, there were only a few dozen people in charge of guarding.
The sudden appearance of 30,000 Xia troops startled these dozens of people.
Before they even reacted to what was happening, they had already been trampled into powder by the Xia Army's iron cavalry.
Those Hun warriors who returned to the tent early and 'mingled' with their own 'women' heard the noise outside, and hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed out.
But when they rushed out of the tent, what awaited them was the spears and swords of the Xia army.
There was a crying in the court of the Xiongnu king, and there were crying 'women' and children everywhere.
Some Xia soldiers have been bound by the barracks for a long time, and rarely have the opportunity to go home to live with their own 'women', at this time to see so many Hun 'women', the long-suppressed ** suddenly erupted, jumped off the horse one by one, and got into the tent of the Huns.
This night, the Xia army insulted all the 'women' of the Xiongnu royal court, including the Yan clan of Mao Dun, and when they left, a string of Xiongnu heads were hung on the top of the tent by them, and from a distance, they looked like a bloody 'hair' ball, which was very disgusting.
When Mao Dun withdrew his army, he did not know that the Xia army had broken through his royal court, and he also fantasized about regrouping after returning to the Xiongnu, and then put up a good battle with the Xia army.
When the Xiongnu army passed through Guyang, Mao Dun's heart suddenly passed a trace of unease, the surroundings were so quiet, so quiet that he couldn't even see the figure of a beast or a bird.
"The whole army should be on guard and beware of a sneak attack by the Xia army!" After all, Mao Dun was also beaten on horseback, and this uneasy feeling had saved him many times before, and he hurriedly ordered the whole army to be prepared.
When the Hun soldiers were transforming into a defensive formation under the command of the generals, suddenly there was a sound of chestnuts in the forest ahead, and with the sound of chestnuts, a black and oppressive Chu army wearing sky blue 'color' armor killed them.
"That's not Xia Jun!" Seeing Chu Jun, Mao Dun was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted to the big left and right big households beside him: "They are Xiang Yu's army, how can they be here?" ”
The big people on the left and right were also taken aback, and hurriedly said to Mao Dun: "Da Danyu, let's leave quickly, I heard that Xiang Yu's army can fight well, Xiang Ye, the king of Xia, was also his subordinate at the beginning, we have suffered losses in the hands of the Xia army repeatedly, and now we are directly facing the Chu army, I'm afraid there is not much chance of winning!" ”
"They've rushed to the front, where are they going?" Mao Dun glared at the big man on the left and right, waved the scimitar in his hand, and shouted to the Hun army: "Kill!" There are few Chu soldiers, annihilate them here! ”
After an explosion, the Xiongnu army has escaped death, although Mao Dun came to the battlefield in person, and the number of Chu troops was obviously less than them, but they still had no will to fight, after Mao Dun gave the order, many people were still afraid to charge.
The Chu army was different from them, and had set up an ambush in Guyang for many days, and had experienced the slaughter of the Huns before, and had already been angry with the Huns Chu army.
"Maudun, take your life!" Xiang Tong held a spear in his hand, rushed to the front, and pounced straight at Maudun.
Seeing Xiang Tong pounce on Mao Dun, the Hun Right Boss hurriedly waved his scimitar to meet him, and he shouted at Xiang Tong while rushing back: "General Chu is not crazy, and fight with me for three hundred rounds!" ”
"You're worthy of it!" Xiang Tong pulled out a spear 'flower' from his hand and stabbed it towards the 'chest' of the right big household.
Seeing the spear stabbing at his chest, the right big danghu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and the scimitar drew an arc and slashed straight at Xiang Tong's neck.
Xiang Tong hurriedly bent down to avoid it, put the spear back, and when he collected the gun, the barrel of the gun swept towards the ribs of the right big household.
The right big man couldn't dodge, and his waist was hit hard, and he almost fell off the horse.
"General Chu is going crazy!" Seeing that the big one on the left was at a loss, the big one on the right hurriedly rushed up with a knife to help in the battle.
Xiang Tong smiled coldly and shouted at Mao Dun: "How many other capable Huns are there?" Come up quickly, grandpa has swept you all today! Don't kill them one by one! ”
Zuo Dadanghu rushed to the front, and without saying much to Xiang Tong, the scimitar in his hand slashed straight at his 'chest'.
Xiang Tong turned the gun horizontally, blocking the knife that was slashing at his 'chest', leaned forward, and shouted at Zuo Da Danghu: "Get off the horse!" ”
This sound was as deafening as a thunderbolt, and Zuo Da only felt that his liver and gallbladder were split, his eyes were black, and he really fell off the horse.
"Stop, stop him!" Seeing that Xiang Tong was so brave, he trembled with fright, and shouted to the guards beside him: "Whoever kills him will be promoted to a big boss immediately!" ”
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and a group of Huns heard that as long as they killed Xiang Tong, they could jump directly from ordinary soldiers to big households, so they naturally rushed towards Xiang Tong with all their might.
At the same time, the Chu army had also fought with the Xiongnu army.
The cavalry of the Chu army was not as good as that of the Huns, and some of the soldiers of the Chu army always felt a little awkward when they rode on horseback to fight with the Huns, so they jumped off their horses and stood on the ground to start a 'fierce' battle with the Huns' cavalry.
The two sides were 'mixed' in one place, and the superiority of the Hun cavalry could not be reflected at all, and the Chu officers and soldiers stood on the ground, and their spears and swords only greeted the Huns' war horses.
The Huns rode on horseback, and the advantage was not only not reflected at all, but it was exposed, and many Hun soldiers fell to the ground after being stabbed to death by the Chu army, and then they were stabbed out of a transparent hole in the body by the Chu army.
The Chu army became more and more courageous, but the Huns retreated frequently, and the battle had just begun with a stick of incense, and nearly 10,000 Huns had fallen under the spears of the Chu army.
The Huns, who had not yet 'engaged' with the Chu army in the back, had the intention to retreat, but Mao Dun was unwilling to rush forward here.
The Hun army fought hard-headed without any will to fight, and the battle-hardened Mao Dun naturally knew that if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that the remaining 150,000 people would all have to be 'handed over' here, so he hurriedly issued a new order - the Hun army that was fighting against the Chu army was left behind, and the rest of the army all retreated.
This order should be effective and practical in the current situation, as long as the broken army blocks the attack of the Chu army, most of the Xiongnu can safely withdraw to the territory of the Xiongnu.
But Mao Dun ignored one point, people have to survive, when he gave this order, the Huns, who had been fighting with the Chu army, also retreated one after another, just exposing their backs completely in front of the Chu army.
After repelling the Maudun guards who besieged him, Xiang Tong led the Chu army to chase after the Huns' buttocks.
The Huns, who had been defeated, only cared about fleeing for their lives, where did they dare to look back at the Chu army behind the buttocks, the Chu army pursued all the way, on the road from Guyang to the Xiongnu border, there were Hun corpses everywhere, and the Chu army defeated the Huns in this battle, almost destroying all the remaining main forces of the Huns. ~
