Chenggao had no troops, let alone a geographical advantage, and was broken by the Xiongnu in two days.

Subsequently, the brigade of foot soldiers rushed to the outside of the Tiger Prison Pass, set up camp, and made siege equipment.

A small number of Hun cavalry remained in Chenggao, and most of them grazed horses under the mountain.

General Zhenxi climbed a high slope to observe the situation in the city.

The city is brightly lit and full of people.

Shan Zheng has already found out clearly, the guard general's name is Zheng Zun, and he was born in the Kaifeng Zheng family. He used to be an official in Luoyang, and then returned to his hometown to live idlely.

The troops guarding the Tiger Prison Pass are very mixed, including Zheng's own troops, Xingyang County soldiers, Ding Zhuang who was temporarily recruited, and even some of the mountain bandits and water bandits who recruited An, a total of 4,000 people, separating Luoyang and Xingyang.

This majestic fortress is like a lock, locking the Han Heavenly Soldiers in the Luoyang Valley.

However, locks can lock enemies as well as themselves.

The first thing he did when he arrived here was to dig a trench and build a strong barracks. In the high places of the mountains, several small camps were also built and garrisoned.

He brought 5,000 headquarters this time, plus 3,000 troops from Guanzhong, and 2,000 Ding Zhuang captured along the way, totaling 10,000 soldiers and horses.

He was also assigned 5,000 light horsemen from all parts of the Central Mountains, and 1,000 people stayed behind in Chenggao, and most of them grazed under the mountain.

Shan Zheng didn't want to storm the Tiger Prison.

First, he didn't want to lose too much of his troops.

Both of them also have some resentment towards the so-called Han court.

For no other reason, his daughter Queen Shan was forced to die.

Shan was originally the queen of the first emperor, and when the first emperor was in his daze, he was young and very beautiful.

Today (Liu Cong) is strong and pampered, day and night.

This is nothing, the grassland customs are like this, and the single sign is acceptable.

But the subsequent development was really beyond his expectations.

Although the emperor's younger brother Liu Yi was young, he didn't know who he had listened to, and thought that his mother should not serve Liu Cong, which was a disobedient act.

Shan was so ashamed by his son that he committed suicide.

As soon as she died, the Hexi Diqiang tribes lost a major support in the Pingyang court.

The only consolation is that the imperial brother is still there, and he will inherit the throne in the future.

This is also the main reason why more than ten thousand people of the Diqiang tribe in Feng Yi and Shangjun are still willing to be loyal to the Han Dynasty.

If the emperor's younger brother dies, or is unable to inherit the throne, Shan Zheng feels that they have no reason to continue to be loyal to the Han.

"General Zhenxi is actually on the mountain, but let me look for it." Xianbei leader Lu Zhuyan walked over from the mountain road and laughed.

Shan Zheng is tired of his heart.

This person took the Xianbei Four Divisions and joined himself to the first emperor. Originally, it was a bit of incense, but this person was too utilitarian, and he was rewarded for his meritorious service in order to expand his influence in Feng Yi and Shangjun.

For this kind of leader who wantonly drives the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and fights for the imperial court without brains, he can't look down on him alone - I am still a relative of the emperor, and I am not as active as you.

"What?" Shan Zheng asked coldly.

Lu Zhuyan didn't care about his cold attitude, and still said with a smile: "Can you allocate 30,000 yuan of grain?" I know that the general received some of the marshals of Wubao and grabbed some goods in Chenggao. ”

"Not enough food?" Shan Zheng asked.

"It's not enough." Lu Zhuyan said: "Our horses now only eat grass, and they have to graze for several hours a day, and they have to prepare forage at night. If this continues, how can we fight? ”

If you just rely on grazing and let the horses eat on their own, they will eat for several hours a day.

If the grass is cut by hand, it can be collected and fed, which can greatly reduce this time.

It would be even better if the grain was fed by hand, and the horses would be able to go out to fight most of the day.

"Your unit is resting now, there is no need to fight, bear with it." Shan Zheng said: "It's really not good, I'll give you the people I caught in Chenggao, and you drive them to mow the grass." ”

"General Xie Zhenxi." Lu Zhuyan's purpose is this, after getting what he wants, he is overjoyed.

"You crossed the river in the morning, but did you find out where the king of Hanoi was?" Shan Zheng asked.

"It should have arrived at Ji County. More than 50 walls in the counties and townships have been surrendered, and the county guard Yu Chen only protects the city. Lu Zhuyan replied.

After listening to this, Shan Zheng was slightly relieved.

Wang Jun of Youzhou went south this year, defeated Shi Shichao, and rushed back to Anping.

After hearing that the army of Hanoi Wang was transferred to Hebei, Wang Jun hurriedly withdrew his troops and retreated to Youzhou.

It should be fine over there.

In a few days, the king of Hanoi will probably be herding Ma Dunqiu.

"Go down and get ready." Shan Zheng commanded: "Don't just think about looting. Chenggao's piece must not be lost. ”

******

The sound of tooth-aching strings kept ringing.

On the baggage truck, the crossbow machine has finished loading.

On the surface of the Luoshui River, a larger powerful crossbow has also been prepared.

Moments later, powerful crossbows flew densely towards a group of enemy infantry charging towards the convoy with a sharp cracking sound.

The soldiers of the Silver Spear Corps wore armor and swords, and stood quietly behind the vehicles.

A fierce battle is about to break out.

Shao Xun barely paid attention to the battlefield, but let a few student officers command.

He sat in a van that was damaged and was waiting to be repaired, and watched Qiao Hong, the deputy governor of the Yicong Army, interrogate the prisoners in Hu language.

There were two captives, one of whom had been beaten to the point of dying, and the interrogation had been completed.

The person in front of him witnessed the tragic situation of his comrades from afar, and he didn't dare to hide it at all.

After Qiao Hong finished the interrogation, he corroborated the confession of the person in front of him, and then stepped forward to report.

"Doo!" A fluttering feathered arrow landed on the roof of the side van.

Shao Xun's expression remained unchanged and asked, "Is the trial finished?" ”

Qiao Hong told him what he thought was reliable, and then he reported the news to be verified.

Shao Xun immediately asked Cai Cheng to bring the map and tried to spell out the whole picture of the entire battlefield.

This kind of low-level captive actually knows very limited things, and Shao Xun has to make up part of the content in his own brain based on experience, and make up the entire chain as much as possible.

There are a few things that can be determined:

First, the Xiongnu did not seriously attack Luoyang, probably because they knew that they could not defeat it and did not want to waste too many troops.

This leads to the second question, what do the Huns want to do?

It is an obvious fact that when their mixed army left Gongxian and headed for Yanshi, the Xiongnu were also mobilizing their troops and horses - Shao Xun had already seen the Xiongnu troops marching along the north bank of Luoshui, advancing in the opposite direction to them.

A bold guess is that when the Huns saw that they were gradually moving away from the Tiger Pass, they mobilized a large group of men and horses to besiege them.

What do you want to do when you lay the Tiger Prison Pass?

It is unlikely to be a long-term occupation, because it cannot be done. Once the main force of the Xiongnu retreated from Luoyang, the troops of the Tiger Pass became a lone army and could not hold it under long-term encirclement.

Well, attacking the Tiger Prison Pass actually has only a short-term purpose.

When you think about it this way, your thinking is immediately clear.

"Kill the thief!" A loud roar rang out from the car formation not far away.

Shao Xun knew that it was a close encounter between the two sides, and the officers were boosting morale, and at the same time, they were also letting his soldiers know where he was and making it easier for him to command.

"Qiao Hong!" Shao Xun shouted.

"The end will be." Qiao Hong threw the captives to his men and replied loudly.

"With your understanding, what kind of battle do you think Liu Han is fighting?" Shao Xun asked.

When Qiao Hong heard this, he felt pressured.

He is a Huns, and Chen Gong obviously asked him to provide him with ideas in the way the Huns do things and think.

After thinking about it for a long time, the killing and screaming on the side of the car formation became louder and louder, Qiao Hong was irritable in his heart, and blurted out: "Ming Gong, I think Liu Cang must have prepared a large number of foot riders, no less than 50,000 people, waiting for us somewhere." ”

"How so?" Shao Xun asked.

Two more feathered arrows landed on the side van, making a dull sound.

You don't need to look at it to know that where the two sides clashed, arrows flew everywhere, flesh and blood were everywhere, and I don't know how many people have been buried under the millstone of war.

Qiao Hong continued: "The Huns fought, and Xi hunted from the steppe wolves. There are those who follow the surveillance, there are those who come forward to harass, there are those who outflank in a roundabout way, and there are those who recuperate and come out at the last moment to give a fatal blow. ”

"Surveillance can make people nervous, attacks can make people tired, detours can make people distract, and so on a few times, and then the strongest wolf king will take action, bite the throat of the prey, and never let go."

"Is Liu Cang using this tactic?" Shao Xun asked.

"It must be." Qiao Hong affirmed: "This is what the Huns are best at." ”

Shao Xun was noncommittal.

Actually, Qiao Hong is right, normal people are this way of thinking.

"Is this attacking force an attack right now?" Shao Xun pointed back and asked.

The blood had already permeated his side, so thick that it couldn't be dissolved.

The ears were full of high-pitched battlefield noise, shouting and scolding, the sound of blades clashing, the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the screams of dying, and so on.

Qiao Hong glanced at it a few times and said, "Gong Chen, this is the attack, the attacking troops should be Guanzhong Hu Jin Ding Zhuang, who was driven to Luoyang to die." ”

"They're quite capable of ......," Shao Xun gestured as he listened.

Qiao Hong listened quietly for a while and said, "This is the second formation." ”

Shao Xun stood up and got out of the side van.

The soldiers immediately raised their shields and shielded him tightly.

The second formation had actually been rushing for a while, and the corpses were piling up outside the car formation, and the enemy army had a tendency to collapse.

In a short time, two gaps opened in the far distance of the chariot formation, and the cavalry of the Yi Cong Army poured out, ready to pursue the rout.

"Johon." Shao Xun shouted again.

"The end will be." Qiao Hong has just gotten on the horse.

"Catch one or two thieves, and if it is successful, I will not hesitate to reward you." Shao Xun said.

"No." Qiao Hong looked solemn.

The enemy infantry was almost overwhelmed, and the ferocious offensive came to an abrupt end at its climax.

The cavalry began to speed up, chasing the rout.

The Hun light cavalry also went out to try to stop them.

Shao Xun retracted his gaze, he had fought more than once, and he was too lazy to look.

The only difference from the past is that the combat effectiveness of the Hun infantry is improving, and they can already inflict greater casualties on the Silver Spear Army.

"Order, clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and move on." Shao Xun commanded: "Ignore the harassment of the thieves, unless their brigade of foot soldiers attack." Speed up to Yanshi and go to Luoyang. ”

The part that makes him most uncomfortable now is that the battlefield is one-way transparent to the enemy, and it is difficult for him to get information from the outside world.

He had several guesses in his mind.

But either way, more information is needed to make a judgment.

Miscalculations come at a cost.

Rush to Luoyang first, stabilize the situation, hand over King Qin's errand, get more information, and then analyze the enemy's movements and make the next tactical move.

The blind man fights, and this is probably his current state.
