The Xiongnu army built a fairly standard camp, but this was essentially different from the homeless rebel army.

But after all, I was a little careless, I didn't expect people like Yuan Yan to deceive and sneak attack.

Really, he sent a lot of wine and meat, which made everyone eat happily. Coupled with Chu Wangcong's praise for him, unconsciously, his vigilance was lowered a lot.

The whistle guard must have been arranged, but under the overall relaxed mood, it is inevitable that there will be some slackness. In addition, Hongnong was sensible and sent them food, which is a bit of a false story.

Of course, they ended up paying a terrible price for their slackness.

In the darkness of the night, a large group of armored soldiers rushed in. Without any nonsense, I touched these peripheral sentry posts first.

The patrol sentry posts were long gone, and before a few of the sentry posts could make a sound, they were killed by the Hongnong soldiers who knew their location.

The air was thick with the smell of blood.

The sergeants of the night attack turned pale and trembled uncontrollably, but no one stopped, only followed the guidance of the torches and rushed in the direction of Yuanmen.

Outside the gate, there was a high-pitched shouting voice, followed by the sound of arrows breaking through the air and the screams of people before they died.

The door panels were placed on the trenches.

Dozens of warriors rushed forward, some with bows and arrows, aiming at the longing of the camp wall.

Some people sweated like rain and slashed the door with a big axe.

Some people tied ropes to the camp gates, and the other end was tied to the cattle and horses, dragging them vigorously.

The attack of the Hongnong soldiers had already alarmed the Hun defenders in the battalion. No matter how relaxed and slack they are, after all, they have been fighting all year round, and they will know that something is wrong.

So, soon, an officer rushed over with someone, trying to figure out the situation: was someone attacking at night, or was the camp simply bombed?

They were greeted by a rain of arrows that cut their heads and covered their faces.

At this time, there is no need to doubt it, there must be someone attacking at night, and most of them are Hongnong soldiers who are close at hand!

The Hun officers were furious and immediately organized manpower to fight back, and at the same time sent a number of heralds to blow horns and wake up the whole battalion.

"Uhh

"Knock knock knock ......" The drums of the gathered troops also sounded.

The Hun camp was in an uproar, and the officers, ministers, and leaders beat and scolded one after another, and the soldiers were completed in a whole team, and they continued to reinforce the direction of the camp wall.

Some of them had already brought horses, bows and arrows, and equipment, and were ready to go out of the camp to outflank them—whether they could catch the thieves or not, it would be good to scare them away first.

At this moment, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the camp gate fell to the ground overwhelmed.

"Kill!" Yuan Yan wiped a cold sweat, was overjoyed, and immediately rushed in with the soldiers.

He really leads by example, and he doesn't shy away from the blade.

Dozens of children and subordinates brought over from Luoyang's hometown were also brave and fought for their lives.

Under their leadership, the morale of the 2,000 county soldiers was greatly boosted, shouting loudly, and marching noisily, killing the hastily assembled Huns and retreating.

At the back of the procession, there were hundreds of people holding firewood, grass, and oil, holding torches, and immediately piling firewood and grass everywhere they went, and lighting a large fire.

Thanks to their efforts, the number of fire points in the barracks has increased, one, two, three...... The fire gradually raged, engulfing the small half of the camp.

Liu Cong hurriedly got up from his sleep, the wine had dispersed a lot, but his body was sore and weak, and he still felt a little hungover.

However, when he heard the news that Yuan Yan had surrendered and raised troops to kill, he immediately sobered up for the most part.

"Traitor!" Liu Cong's voice was full of grief and indignation.

He still didn't believe it, as soon as he lifted the curtain of the tent and strode out, he saw Yuan Yan who was wearing iron armor and holding a lance, shouting and fighting.

"Good thief!" Liu Cong's eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to rush up immediately and break Yuanyan's body into pieces.

"Come on, quickly order your troops, rush up with me, and swear not to stop if you don't kill this thief." Liu Cong drew his saber and yelled.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness is angry!"

"Your Highness, let's go."

Jiang Zuo grabbed Liu Cong with his hands and feet, and persuaded bitterly.

It's not that they don't want to fight, it's really powerless.

What's going on today?

First, the Jin people surrendered and suddenly killed, and this side was caught off guard and unprepared.

Second, the Jin people set fires everywhere to create chaos, and under the night, in the thick smoke, many people did not distinguish between the enemy and me, and killed indiscriminately.

Third, there were rumbling war drums outside the camp, and there were shouts of killing at other camp gates. It is true that this may be a ploy of the enemy, but under the chaos, the command is not effective, and it is impossible to resist the trust of others. No, there is already a large ministry with the soldiers of the tribe and left on horseback.

"Your Highness, you can't force yourself in the matter of military strife. It's better to retreat for the time being, straighten out the army, and return to fight again. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, it is difficult to gather all the people now, it is better to retreat first, contain the rout, and then make a decision."

"Your Highness, let's have a lot of horses, the thieves can't catch up, let's retreat first."

Everyone gossiped and explained the current situation.

It can also be seen from here that these Xiongnu generals have more experience.

Before the rebellion, there were battles between the tribes, and they accumulated a lot of experience in skirmishes.

In the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, he participated in the war as a mercenary and accumulated a lot of experience in large-scale battles.

Now he has fought with the Jin army and Xianbei for several years, and has grown up with a large number of generals and veterans, and his military strength is improving every year.

What they say is very pertinent advice.

Liu Cong forced himself to calm down.

After catching a glimpse of many Hun soldiers who fought themselves, he sighed, got on his horse and left.

The soldiers and generals gathered behind him and fled out of the camp gate in the northeast.

After Liu Cong left, the Huns completely collapsed.

Find the horse and flee.

Unable to find a horse, the girl galloped.

In short, the wolf rushed and was miserable.

The fire was still burning, engulfing the entire barracks.

Liu Cong, who was arrogant and won many battles, defeated Hongnong in a ridiculous way.

is too guarded by the wall, and he became famous in this battle.

******

When Shao Xun got the news, he couldn't believe it for a while.

Compared with the fraudulent surrender, the possibility of the real surrender of Yuan Yan is greater.

Besides, he didn't know much about this person, so he really couldn't tell the difference.

"As you said, Yuanfujun did it last night, now let me go, what do you mean?" Shao Xun walked around the Golden Gate Dock with his hands behind his back.

Tang Jian took his own soldiers and looked at the two messengers with fierce eyes, as if as long as Shao Xun gave an order, he would immediately cut the two into pulp.

The two men brought several horses and rushed all the way from Hongnong, and it took a full day and a night to deliver the news.

The battle is already over, and now call us over, what does it mean to call us over?

"The Huns are powerful, and Liu Cong's generals are no more than 10,000 people, and they are pioneers. At most, next month, its main force can be assembled and march south. The envoy pleaded: "The prince of the palace asks the governor of Shao to immediately lead his army north to help defend Hongnong." ”

Shao Xun was noncommittal, but walked to the wall and looked at the map hanging on it.

He commanded a total of 20,000 soldiers, and the closest to Hongnong was a government soldier, stationed in Huixiban, and urged Yiyang Zhuwu Ding Zhuang to cut down wood and set up fences, take soil and build fortifications.

The tactical intention was obvious, blocking a relatively best mountain road to prevent the Xiongnu army from moving south to the Luoshui River Valley.

As for the other mountain trails, only people are sent to monitor them, not even those who are watching.

If the Huns love to walk the mountain paths, they can rest assured that they will not stop you. Anyway, there are enough mobile troops in the rear to recuperate, and as soon as you make a detour, you can just go up and do it.

The soldiers and horses of Huixiban are said to be the closest to Hongnong, but they are also 200 miles away, and they have to pass through the winding path between the mountain road and the soil plateau in Shaanxi County.

On a normal march, twenty miles a day, ten days to reach it is not bad—in fact, it is already obvious on the map that most of the two hundred miles are in the mountains.

Seeing that Shao Xun didn't reply for a long time, the two envoys were a little disappointed.

One of them said excitedly: "I have heard for a long time that the Duke of Luyang County is brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly broken the stubborn enemy. ”

Shao Xun didn't seem to be affected in any way, still looking at the map.

On the contrary, the generals were angry and scolded one after another.

"Didn't you even understand how to inform Yuan Yan before he started?" Long Sword Governor Chen Yougen scolded.

"General Chen, the fighter plane is fleeting." Li Chong couldn't help but say: "It's unpredictable when Liu Cong will come, if it drags on, the Hongnong soldiers will be driven as the vanguard and go south to Yiyang, but there will be no way at all." ”

The messenger glanced at Li Zhong gratefully, and felt that this man was sensible.

"Li Baimian, which side are you standing on?" Chen Yougen was angry and asked.

Li Chong didn't quarrel with him, turned his head to look at Shao Xun, and said, "The governor might as well lead the people to the north and settle in Kunshan Mountain." If the Xiongnu had been defeated, they would march westward in a big way, divide their troops to guard the three ferries of Xunjin, Maojin and Tongjin, and block the river to resist the enemy. If Liu Cong is still here, he may be able to hit him. ”

"Guozhen, what do you think?" Shao Xun turned his head, looked at Chen Yi, and asked.

Chen Yi didn't expect Shao Xun to ask him, and after thinking about it, he replied: "What Li Du said, Lao Cheng is serious, or he can go north to take a look." The army set up a village at the place where the east and west two mountains meet, and there is flat land in the mountains, which can be tens of thousands of people. At this time, the rain is getting denser, and it must not be difficult to get water from the mountains. ”

"How can the town be so clear?" Shao Xun asked with interest.

"In the past, when I was an official in the court, I traveled back and forth between Chang'an and Luoyang many times, and the Kunshan Ban Road was the only way for public and private affairs, and the court had a post station. In fact, there are many villages between the east and west Erkun Mountains, but now I don't know if they are still there. Chen Yi replied.

Shao Xun understood what he meant.

If there are villages in the mountains, then there must be fields and water, which can be used for the army to be stationed for a short time.

In fact, Shao Xun has also been to that place, and he accompanied Mi Huang a few years ago.

The troops are stationed on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountainside and the road below the mountain, which is much better than the conditions of Ma Tan.

As for crossing the Kunshan Mountains and continuing westward to the riverside plains of Shaanxi County and Hongnong, we have to look at the situation again.

Chen Yi just said that Li Chong is old, but in fact, Shao Xun is similar.

He was very aware of his own strengths and weaknesses, and had been trying to place the preset battlefield in the mountains, greatly weakening the power of the Hun cavalry, and fighting them with the infantry.

When you go to the riverside plain, it's not that you can't fight, but it's not necessary.

His task was not to let the Xiongnu detour to Yiyang and attack Luoyang in a roundabout way through the flat Luoshui River Valley, rather than to hold Hongnong.

The terrain of the mountainous areas of western Henan must be well utilized.

Here, the two legs of the infantry are not necessarily worse than the four legs of the horse, and sometimes even better.

"Order, after dawn, the whole army will go north." Shao Xun made up his mind and commanded.

The messenger was overjoyed and praised: "If the Ming Duke goes north, Hongnong will be safe." ”

Shao Xun smiled faintly and asked, "What's your name?" It's a good timidity. ”

"Hi Gaki." The messenger replied, "The people of Lüyang." ”

On the morning of August 20, Chang Cang, the deputy governor of the Changjian Army, led the Huixiban garrison to the north as the vanguard.

Shao Xun followed closely with the main force and drove towards Kunshan.
