Chapter 171: Wuxiang County
Lu Bu Wuyuan County is extremely familiar with the current situation, and can only break through to the north to have a glimmer of life. The east gate of Wuyuan County, there is a low mountain in the north of the county, the people like to call Jiao Mountain, because the mountain is full of pepper and get the name, the pepper is the pepper of later generations.
Lu Bu rushed forward to kill, like a sharp blade, piercing through the encirclement of the Xiongnu. But it can't be disconnected from the soldiers behind, turn the horse's head from time to time, and respond to the foot soldiers behind, but under the siege of the cavalry, it is difficult to be thoughtful, and from time to time some soldiers fall.
Time is slowly lost, the Hun cavalry who died under Lu Bu's halberd has been countless, the corpses are piled up, more than an hour, they only broke through to the north for only two kilometers, looking at Jiaoshan not far away, Hou Cheng's has not much hope for a breakthrough. Just now, he was stabbed several times in his body, and another knife was slashed in his face, making him look a little confused.
"Big brother, you can break through by yourself, I, Hou Cheng, will be with you in the next life" Hou Cheng knew that if Lu Bu himself, these cavalrymen would not be able to stop him at all.
"Don't say stupid words, hold on for a while, I have a way, and then move forward, I will kill a gap, you just run forward, drill into the mountains, the Huns can't help it"
Lu Bu looked around and found that more than a thousand people were besieging this side in the distance, probably knowing that they wanted to escape into the mountains, so they came to intercept them in advance.
At the moment, he no longer spared his hands and rushed to the front. The halberd kept swinging, slashing the cavalry that stood in the way. Lu Bu's sudden force opened a small gap in the Hun cavalry formation in front, and the squad advanced more than two hundred steps.
Lu Bu shouted.
"Run"
Then the war horse jumped up, and a golden humanoid flew forward, and the Hun cavalry along the way was torn to pieces, and a gap of more than five hundred steps appeared. The sudden change made the Hun cavalry stunned for a moment.
The soldiers ran wildly, and even if the scimitar killed, they no longer resisted, but ran for their lives. The half-moon slash, the full moon slash kept swinging, cutting the Hun cavalry who came to chase in two, and in a short moment, Lu Bu was lying all over the corpses.
In early winter, the leaves of the pepper tree have long since fallen, and only the thorns of the branches can be seen. Some of the branches still have red peppercorns hanging on them, and the fruits are covered with a thin layer of snow, red and white, which is very beautiful. But now the soldiers didn't want to appreciate it, and jumped into the thorn bush with a leap.
Knowing that the last soldier turned into the mountain, Lu Bu reached out and gently touched the forehead of the war horse, glanced at Liu Bao in the distance, jumped off the war horse, and disappeared into the Jiao Mountain.
At this point, the war in Wuyuan County came to an end, and the entire county of Wuyuan County fell into the hands of the Huns. The Huns have already occupied, Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, and the northern part of Yanmen County.
The news reached Taiyuan County, and Zhang Yi, the guard of Taiyuan County, hurriedly reported to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to send troops to rescue.
and the state of Shangdang County.
Since the Xiongnu Guli King went to Bei to lead more than 10,000 troops into Shangdang County, Zhang Yang's mood has not been good for a day. 10,000 Hun cavalry, broken into pieces, plundered everywhere. Zhang Yang could receive news of the raids of the Xiongnu every day, so he had no choice but to personally lead 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 county soldiers to intercept and kill the small troops who came to plunder.
Although the cavalry led by Qubei was 10,000 people, since the attack on Yanmen Pass was frustrated, his prestige in the army was greatly reduced, and the leaders of some tribes did not listen to his orders at all. Only 3,000 cavalry are the descendant troops of the despicable army.
The leaders of these tribes, who sent troops to attack the Han people only for plunder, had no interest in occupying the city, and it had already snowed a little. These chiefs had already plundered a large number of grain and livestock, as well as women, and wanted to return to the grassland as soon as possible.
And Shan Yu's order to go to Bei was to attack the counties south of Yanmen County and completely occupy Yanmen County. But if they are allowed to go back like this, they will be humbled and will not be able to explain if they go back.
"The marshal is worried that the tribal leader does not listen to the dispatch and forgets his righteousness when he sees profit."
A Han scholar next to him spoke.
"One by one, I haven't seen the world, I have plundered some towns and villages, and I am satisfied, and I am glad to keep pacing in the big tent, opening the tents from time to time, and looking left and right.
"It's not that difficult"
"Ao, Mr. Yang said to listen to it" Qubei glanced at the middle-aged scribe with some curiosity.
The middle-aged scribe's name was Yang Que, a native of Hebei. About ten years old, thin build, left in a goatee. Ugly looking, pockmarked face, often made fun of people in his hometown, so he went to Daijun in a fit of anger, and was captured by his subordinates the year before last, so he surrendered to the Huns, and helped to do some government affairs such as a scribe and a scribe, and sometimes helped to give advice to Bei, and he had to be trusted by Bei.
Yang Que smiled slightly, his small eyes narrowed, revealing a fierce light.
"The tribal commander wants to go back to the grassland, but the commander can't stay, he can only let them see the benefits, and they will stay obediently, the general might as well tell them to gather all the soldiers and attack Wuxiang County. As long as Wuxiang County is taken, the property in the city belongs to them, and they will keep it for themselves."
"The county seat of Kewu Township is high and deep, and Zhang Yang personally led more than 3,000 people to defend the city. We are all cavalry, how to attack the city, I'm afraid those infantry commanders won't believe it," Qubei asked with some doubts.
"I have my own way to lure Zhang out of the city, and the marshal only needs to let the tribe lead the siege."
After Yang Que finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and stroked the goat's beard, as if he saw that the Hun general had entered his hometown, and those villagers who had laughed at him before knelt in front of him and begged for mercy.
Shangdang County has high and dangerous terrain and rugged mountain roads. Since ancient times, it has been a strategically important place, and there are mainly two basins in the territory of Jinnan Basin and Jinzhong Basin, and the two basins are bounded by mountains such as Danzhuling, Yangtou Mountain and Fajiu Mountain. The party leads nine counties and governs Changzi County. It is located in the Jinnan Basin in the south. There are five counties in the Jinnan Basin: Changzi, Gaodu, Yang'a, Xi's and Guyuan. The Jinzhong Basin is located in the middle of Shangdang County, with three counties: Nie County, Wuxiang and Licheng. It is bordered by Licheng County and Changshan Country in the east. To the west, Nie County and Taiyuan County are bordered. To the north of the Jincheng Basin, there are Gu County, Heshun and Shangai counties across the Taihang Mountains, and they are also close to Dai County, which is not dangerous to defend, and was occupied by the Xiongnu and Xianbei as early as the year before last.
Wuxiang County is located in the middle of the Jinzhong Basin and is also the center of Shangdang County. Although Shangdang County is small, but the geographical location is extremely important, from Shangdang to the east can enter Youzhou, Jizhou, to the south can enter Sili Hanoi County, from Luoyang is only more than 200 miles, and a horse Pingchuan. And Wuxiang County is the last barrier of Shangdang County, Wuxiang is not lost, and Shangdang is safe. Zhang Yang transferred all the soldiers from the southern counties to Wuxiang County very early, preparing to block the Xiongnu from moving south.
The county seat of Wuxiang is five zhang high, ten zhang wide, there is a moat outside, the moat is three zhang wide, and a thin layer of ice has been formed in the river. There are two urn cities in the north and south, and there are two city walls inside and outside. The outer city wall is equipped with horse faces, arrow towers, guard towers, beacon towers, catapults, and all kinds of things. Wuxiang County's defense system is very comprehensive, and it is not much better than Jinyang, after all, Jinyang does not have a moat.
