On October 28, the third year of Yongjia in the Great Jin Dynasty, it was sunny.

Early in the morning, the army set out of camp, leaving Willow Springs and heading east.

Liuquan is a township that belongs to Yiyang County.

In fact, most of the Luoshui River Valley belongs to Yiyang County, and Liuquan is just the easternmost one - the township is located in the Wei and Jin Dynasties Yiyang East Twenty Miles, near the present-day Liuquan Town, Tang Zhiliuquanyi.

There are few people left in Liuquan Township, the land is barren, the houses are crumbling, and there is a lost scene.

A small number of intact houses were inhabited by some Hun cavalry.

They are really bold, one person and three horses, close to the reconnaissance, repeated harassment, you are sure that you can't catch up with him.

When the army set out of camp and sent the cavalry forward, they did not even leave, still hanging from afar, staring at this force with sinister eyes.

During the period left several rides. Everybody knows that this is for the report. Perhaps, one day, an overwhelming number of Hun cavalry will rush over and try to eat their troops.

They have too much psychological advantage, because the Jin army is "deaf" and "blind", they don't know the deployment of the Xiongnu army, and where they are moving, and it is very simple to deal with them - it's like playing a game, the other party turns his head and looks at your screen and knows your specific deployment, but you don't know anything about the other party's situation.

Shao Xun stood on a baggage cart, observed silently for a long time, and suddenly got out of the car, then turned over and rode out with more than 100 personal soldiers.

The well-recuperated war horse ran fast, and Luoshui happened to turn not far ahead, which was not conducive to large-scale maneuvering.

Dozens of Hun cavalry saw more than 100 horsemen rushing out of the car formation, and they scattered directly and retreated. But while running, he was blocked by Luoshui and had to turn northeast, but this turn was immediately embellished.

Shao Xun took out the horned bow given by Liu Yuan, fired five arrows in a row from the galloping horse, killed three people, and shot another horse, only one arrow missed.

The coach was so brave that the foot soldiers in the car formation were demoralized and cheered.

The soldiers who followed Shao Xun were even more enthusiastic, almost pushing the horse speed to the extreme, and crashed into the Hun cavalry.

As soon as the horse was picked, a corpse was thrown away.

With a wave of the halberd, even the head was directly cut off.

There are also people who sprint at high speed, and when the spear pierces the enemy's body, it almost breaks, which shows the depth of hatred.

Yes, these Hun rangers are so annoying that everyone wants them to die on the spot.

They don't dare to engage head-on, so they repeatedly harass them, sometimes even taking advantage of your inattention, shooting an arrow directly at close range, and then fleeing quickly.

When the army was camping and picking, the auxiliaries did not dare to go out alone, and they had to be escorted by infantry cavalry, which made everyone very tired.

This time, taking advantage of their carelessness, they finally seized an opportunity to beat them up, so that the Huns could also learn a lesson.

It's so relieving!

After the pursuit was almost over, Shao Xun ordered to collect the horses left behind by the Huns, and then collect the troops and return to the chariot formation.

Everywhere they passed, the soldiers erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Shao Xun laughed, for the sake of the general, it is necessary to boost morale at the right time.

Even if it was only a small victory, even if only twenty or thirty enemy horsemen were destroyed, it would boost the morale of the soldiers by letting them see the enemy fleeing in disarray and suffering a miserable death.

The Xiongnu were people, not gods, and they would make mistakes.

Calm down, observe silently, and strike quickly when the opportunity comes, there will always be a gain.

After this successful surprise attack, the Hun rangers stopped a lot.

They kept a safe distance and kept an eye out for nearby woods, bends, houses and other obstacles to ensure that they were not easily overtaken.

The distance was shortened, and the foot soldiers in the car formation were much more relaxed. Especially those auxiliary soldiers, Ding Zhuang, no longer nervously stared at the enemy all the time, and his energy and physical exertion were greatly reduced.

On the evening of the 29th, the army arrived at Jiuqu and began to camp.

This is already in the territory of Henan County, under Henan County.

The land of nine curves, as the name suggests, is winding and twisty, with complex terrain, and Kudanzaka Road.

This is the home of the infantry, and the cavalry rushes at a great slow, and will only be easily slaughtered.

And that same night, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves in the field, which shook the sky and the earth, and could be heard for miles away. Fools know that a large Hun cavalry force has come.

As for what their purpose is, it is nothing more than to eat this Jin army with the Silver Spear Army as the main force, or delay their actions and prevent the Silver Spear Army from participating in other battlefields.

Shao Xun did not move, organized the soldiers to rest in turns, and the enemy army was consumed.

He is now facing the situation of Song Zhou during the Battle of Mengjin - there are too few soldiers on hand, and no one will come to reinforce except Li Chongsuo's troops.

But he dared to gamble, betting that the Huns would not have enough food and grass, and they would not be able to consume him, and they would not be able to capture his camp.

It's actually nothing if you lose the bet, it's just a big deal to withdraw to Yiyang City for supplies.

See who can afford whom.

******

And just when Shao Xun led his troops to Jiuqu and camped on the spot, about eighty miles away in the west of Luoyang City, the siege battle had just ended.

The fighters were 10,000 people under the command of Zhao Gu, the general of Anbei, who first cleaned the periphery and fought fiercely with more than 4,000 people from the two divisions of Chen Yan, the captain of the Duzhi school, and Mi Huang, the captain of the Si Li, and fought for a whole day before they were defeated with the assistance of the Hun cavalry.

Chen and Mi retreated to the city to rest, and the former Pingyang Taishou Song drew 5,000 Yuzhou soldiers to take over.

Zhao Gu sent people to attack, but they were repulsed, losing more than 500 soldiers, and today's battle ended.

That is to say, the so-called siege of the Huns did not even touch the edge of the city wall, and they are still circling in the residential construction area on the periphery of Luoyang.

Judging from their weak siege ability, it is almost impossible to take Luoyang, unless the defenders collapse on their own.

That night, Liu Cong ordered Wang Mi to stop attacking Yiyang, and led his troops eastward, day and night, to Luoyang via Xin'an.

Liu Jing, the king of Ruyin, led 10,000 cavalry troops to cruise between Shaanxi County and Xin'an, and by the way, he found an ambush where it was beneficial to hide the troops.

On the morning of the 30th, Zhao Gu continued to attack the city. Song fought against the city and repelled it.

In the afternoon, Hu Yanhao, the general of the Han Dynasty, led thousands of Xiongnu and miscellaneous soldiers to dismount and fight on foot, and then attacked the Ximing Gate.

Song Xuan did not dare to play tricks, went to the front line to boost morale, and finally led the Yuzhou soldiers to defeat him.

In the evening of the same day, Song was tired after a long battle and returned to the city to rest.

General Peng Mo led 5,000 Yanzhou soldiers out of the city to take over the position.

For two days, the two sides fought fiercely outside the Ximing Gate, and on the whole, the Jin army had the upper hand.

Zhao Gu was only a fort master, and the so-called infantry under his command were mostly forts, even if there were Hun cavalry on the side to assist, they still suffered heavy losses and could not advance to the city.

In the end, the Huns went into battle on their own, and the cavalry was used as infantry, but the performance was still dismal.

Seeing that the morale of the army was frustrated, the general of the Han Dynasty had no choice, and saw that the morale of the army was frustrated, so he retreated from outside the Ximing Gate and stationed in the ruins of the barrier built by Zhang Fang, and at the same time flew to report to Liu Cong and ask him to decide.

In October, it passed without danger.

When the sun rose from the eastern horizon on the first day of November, a group of nobles came above the tower of Ximing Gate.

The weather was nice, there was no wind, and the sun was shining warmly.

Sima Yue felt that his physical condition had improved, so he personally went to the city to boost his morale.

Everywhere he passed, although the cheers of the soldiers were a bit perfunctory, they still gave face, which made him feel better.

He Lun, Wang Bing and other henchmen and generals followed, and Beigong Chun stood a little farther away.

In addition to the generals, there are also Wang Yan, Pan Tao, Liu Yu and other staff.

Everyone's mood is very good, the Huns' clumsy foot combat skills have been revealed, since the moment the tiger skin was punctured, people's hearts have also settled, at least Luoyang City is safe.

In the field, the Xiongnu may be able to dominate the cavalry.

Siege, they can't.

"Today, the Huns attacked Dongyangmen and were repulsed. The siege of the city has been defeated several times, and its strength can be known. "It's really good that the scar forgot the pain, and a few days ago I was in a panic and engaged in Zhonglang Wang, this will be angry again, full of anger when he speaks, and the crown is fluttering, quite a bit fairy.

"Yes." Zhao Mu, who joined the army, said with a smile: "Wang Shi only needs to guard the gates and wait for the Huns to retreat." ”

"When the Huns retreat, they may be able to follow the example of last year, pursue at the end of the year, and win a big victory."

"Bo Dao is ridiculous. There were many Hun cavalry troops, rashly pursued, or lost troops and generals, greatly demoralized, and the town was quiet at that time. ”

"Exactly. You don't have to do anything, just wait for the Huns to retreat. Do more wrong, do less wrong. ”

Several staff members sang and harmonized, and Beigong Chunzhi frowned when he heard it.

Liu Yu and others also felt that it was too outrageous, and put on a passive appearance of being beaten, is it really good?

"Situ." Beigong Chun stepped forward and said earnestly: "The Xiongnu siege is unfavorable, the army is in turmoil, if you don't counterattack at this time, when will you counterattack?" The servant is willing to choose Liangzhou Xiaorui and go out of Ximingmen to break the enemy. ”

"The thieves have retreated to Zhang Fang's hometown, and the surrounding terrain is open, and they are afraid that they will be besieged by his cavalry, are you sure?" Before Sima Yue could speak, Liu Yu took a half step forward and asked.

"I also have cavalry, why fear the Huns?" Beigong Chun said loudly.

After listening to the army, Sun Xun said: "The Liang soldiers are stubborn and brave, but the Huns are cunning, and retreating at this time may not have the intention of luring me to attack." ”

"Sun Senjun is right, maybe this is the plan of the Huns, but so what?" Beigong Chun raised his head, looked at everyone, and said, "I'm afraid of this, I'm afraid of that, what kind of battle are you fighting?" ”

The crowd was so frightened by his gaze that they didn't know what to say for a while.

Beigong Chun looked at Sima Yue again, bowed to the end, and said, "Please allow Situ to send troops to destroy the enemy." One person does things and one person is in charge, I lead the troops and horses of my headquarters to fight, and Situ does not need to send someone to answer. Even if it is successful, it will only damage me, and it will not hurt the overall situation. ”

Sima Yue's face was displeased.

What does it mean that you don't need to send someone to answer it? What are these words? Emotional?

Wang Yan saw it on the side and felt that it might be worse, so he said loudly: "Why is the Beigong Inspector in a hurry?" Knowing that there may be fraud, but still going hard? Besides, even if you want to go out of the city to destroy the enemy, it's not like this. ”

He pointed to the rising sun and said with a smile: "It's better to recuperate first, and stay until the second half of the night, when the thieves are sleepy and tired, select elite soldiers and go out of the city to attack at night." Even if it is defeated, it will not be completely annihilated. ”

When Beigong Chun heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he stopped talking and only looked at Sima Yue with earnest eyes.

"Situ, Taiwei Yan went out of the city to attack at night, maybe you can give it a try." Sun Xun thought about it and felt that this was a little more reliable than attacking it in broad daylight, so he no longer objected to it, and instead supported Beigong Chun.

Two staff members in a row agreed, Sima Yue was also a little hesitant, and he looked at Liu Yu, the staff he admired the most.

"Situ, the servant agrees with the night attack." Liu Yu said.

Sima Yue thought about it and reluctantly nodded in agreement, but he was not happy with Beigong Chun's attitude, so he said: "With the protector Jia Yin as the general, Beigong Chun is the vice, and recruits warriors with a lot of money to attack the thief camp at night." ”

Jia Yin is the great-grandson of Jia Xu, when the first emperor was the crown prince, Yin was a close attendant.

His ancestral home is Wuwei, and he is barely a native of Liangzhou.

Jia Yin is the main general, Beigong Chun is the deputy general, if most of the warriors recruited are from Liangzhou, it will not be a big deal, it can be regarded as a compromise disposal.

Everyone had no opinion, and Beigong Jun also promised loudly.

And so it was settled.
