Chapter 45: Where is Jin Zhun?

Although there were only 300 armored horses, they charged with amazing power, and after crashing into the Huns, the halberds, horse lances or dances or thorns, there was almost no one to join them.

The Huns were already slightly torn apart by the Wuhuan light cavalry in front of them, and after seeing the armored cavalry charging, they subconsciously wanted to dodge on both sides.

This dodge has an effect, for example, if someone in the marginal part successfully escapes.

But the effect is not too good, because the middle part is washed away.

It was followed by veteran troops such as the Cavalry Governor, the Yulin Governor, and the Tiger Ben Governor.

At the peak of these cavalry units, there were no less than 500 cavalry, or even 1,000 cavalry, because the imperial court had no money, and it was difficult to improve the establishment after the battle was damaged, and it had been greatly reduced at this time. But when he charged, he was still extremely brave, showing the demeanor of the old Luoyang Chinese army.

They even pressed their speed, expanding to both sides, widening the gap, and driving the already dizzy Hun cavalry outward, making it difficult for them to assemble for a while.

Behind them were the righteous soldiers, and there were Liangzhou horses outflanking them left and right.

Armed with spears, lances, and halberds, they were indomitable, constantly driving the enemy forward, not giving them the opportunity to distance themselves and gather for cavalry and shooting.

Rush! Rush! Rush!

Rush to the old world, rush to the enemy army and completely lose the courage to fight again.

Jin Zhun had already come down from the city tower.

After a while, the south gate of Gaoping was wide open, and hundreds of horsemen escorted him, rushing directly from the flank, and fighting with a Liangzhou army on the left flank.

They rushed very quickly, only slightly entangled, and overcame the interception of the Liangzhou soldiers and rushed to the big battlefield in the center.

Seeing this, the righteous soldiers at the back of the line divided a part of their men and fought with them.

Jin Zhun sighed secretly, there was no chance, and quickly left the battlefield.

The pro-soldiers waved the banner and let the defeated soldiers move closer to it.

The Liangzhou soldiers followed closely behind, and gave up after a while, because the horses were a little unable to run.

Jin Zhun continued to move forward, gathering the rout along the way, all the way to the east.

After seeing his banner, the Huns seemed to have found a guide and approached in despair.

Jin Zhun looked back while running, and the coolness penetrated through his heart.

looked dejected, completely lost the courage to fight again, and only knew to run away.

More than 5,400 riders, making less than 4,000 riders a drop in the water.

The more Jin Zhun thought about it, the cooler his heart became, and the more he thought about it, the sadder he became.

The Hun cavalry, the frontal rush can not beat the Xianbei cavalry, often let the Tuoba Department rush to pieces, and can't beat the Central Plains cavalry, the same is rushed.

Is the era of riding archers really over?

While lamenting, he ran, ran straight out for I don't know how many miles, and after finding that people didn't chase him, he sighed and found an abandoned village to rest.

If you don't feed the horses, you can't move on.

During this period, the routs continued to come to converge, and by the time they set out again, they had gathered two or three thousand horsemen.

At this time, news came from the west of the pursuing army.

Jin Zhun had the intention to stay and fight, but when he saw that all the people around him were silent and demoralized, he sighed and withdrew.

At the same time of retreating, more than 100 people were dispatched to contain the rout, contact the cavalry who had rushed back, and join the party at Fang.

******

After the battle, Shao Xun immediately sent people to recruit the infantry army defending the city, but they were refused.

The guard's name is Jin Kang, Jin Zhun's nephew, and he dispatched trustworthy troops on the spot, killed dozens of commotion newcomers, and barely stabilized his position.

If the enemy army does not surrender, Shao Xun doesn't know what to do for a while.

There was no choice but to abandon the defenders in the city, divide one part, replace it with a group of war horses with sufficient horsepower, and pursue it eastward.

He also asked Beigong Chun to take people back to meet the last two groups of soldiers, mainly to get water on horseback.

On the eighth night of the first month of October, I set out from Jiyin, carrying only five or six days of water, and now it has passed

For two days, the most critical thing is to get supplies.

During the period of recuperation, the Hun cavalry returned from other places one after another, and the tragic battlefield outside Gaoping City was seen from afar, and it was a little silent for a while.

Hardly without exception, these Huns, who rode hundreds of horses, went straight away.

In the evening, the pursuing troops returned from the east, and Yin Qi shouted, "Someone saw Jin Zhun running southeast."

"General, let's chase it!"

"Chase him. If the Huns are newly defeated, they will have no will to fight, and if they wait a few days and let them recover, they will die more if they fight again."

"Let's gather together the water and the horses, and we will gather two thousand men to chase him. Even if Jin Zhun can still gather five thousand horsemen, he can directly defeat him."

"The Huns are scattered so badly that they can't be brought back to their senses."

Shao Xun stretched out his hand and stopped everyone's words.

"Y-come." Shao Xun pointed to an official who was with the army and said.

"Ming Gong." The scribe came over with a bitter face.

"Your home is in Dongyi City?"

"Yes." The scribe's face became even more bitter, but he didn't dare to say anything.

He was originally an official in Jiyin County, but was assigned by Taishou to go on the expedition with the army.

Of course, it was not for him to go into battle to fight, but to let him go back to his hometown near Dongzhen City to provide supplies for the army.

God is pitiful, he doesn't know if his family is still there, and whether he was killed by the Huns.

Even if he is, he must have been blackmailed by the Huns, and now Chen Gong will come to the door with a large army, even if he only stays for a day or two, his family will be hollowed out and become a member of the "glorious" exile army.

Shao Xun was also a little depressed.

It's obviously an internal battle, how can it be the same as fighting on enemy territory, and it's so difficult to get some supplies.

His dominance became weaker and weaker the further he went, and when he reached Gaoping, it was already a little difficult to use.

Night soon fell.

Shao Xun arranged a team of cavalry to monitor Gaoping City.

But all night, there was no movement in the city, and the guards didn't even have the intention of going out of the city to attack at night, which made him very regretful.

There must be a large amount of supplies in Gaoping City, but unfortunately they can't get it.

He was now in the same situation as the Huns, with cavalry moving everywhere and no way to face the fortified city.

After dawn, Shao Xun asked Qiao Hong to take away 500 horsemen and more than 1,000 horses, return to Jiyin first, and then make a detour to Xuchang, so that Cao Fu ordered the government soldiers to launch a counterattack on all fronts.

He had already seen that the Huns were in turmoil, and before engaging the battle, they had already begun to gather their troops and retreat back.

Why were the Huns in a hurry to withdraw?

It's just that after eating a defeat in Jiyin, the loss is still Shile's men and horses, and the infantry army is the mainstay, why do you have to retreat in a hurry?

It's a pity that the captured captives don't know why.

But retreat

It's a good thing, as long as you withdraw, it will be difficult to maintain morale, and who will have the heart to fight at that time?

Just chase the fuck!

******

On the afternoon of the tenth day of the first month, the army gathered a little and went straight to the east of the city, arriving on the same day.

There were no soldiers in the city, but there was no food, and the grass around it was almost cut.

Someone was sent to follow the scribe to the nearby dock fort to "borrow" grain, but they were polite, but they only gave 10,000 hu, which was almost enough for three days.

It can be seen that this is their limit.

Shao Xun is not easy to force, he is really anxious, he closes the door directly, and guards himself, do you want to him?

If you do him, it's too much of a loss to take the cavalry.

If you don't do what he says, you will lose your own prestige.

So, Shao Xun asked people to send hundreds of captured silks to the dock fort, which was regarded as a thank you gift, and by the way, the wounded in the army were placed in his dock fort to recuperate.

After all this, he rested for a day and two nights in Dongqian City to recover the fatigue of his men and horses, and then set off again to pursue in the direction of Fang and County.

On the evening of the 12th, arrived almost

The empty county seat, and defeated a group of Hun cavalry outside the city, the number was about three hundred, I don't know where they came from, dizzy, and probably looking for Jin Zhun's traces.

This is the effect of the pursuit.

The so-called chasing the north is not that you keep looking at his back to chase, that's unrealistic. Instead, he always kept the pressure and followed behind unhurriedly, so that the enemy commander always heard the news of the pursuers, making him nervous and anxious, and unable to stay in one place for a long time.

And since you can't stop, it's hard to gather more troops, because your scattered people are also looking for you.

They pounce on you and find that you're gone, so they ask around where you've gone, and then they redirect and chase after you, and that's when confusion ensues.

And if you keep moving in, it will be even more difficult to restore morale, because the soldiers are used to running away and have no courage to fight the enemy.

Historically, Azig set out from Beijing to chase Li Zicheng is this way.

In fact, when he set off, Li Zicheng had already run a long way, and even had room to organize a counterattack in Huaiqing, but he was hanging behind, unhurried, chasing all the way to Xi'an, and then to Hubei, and never let go.

Shao Xun estimated that the entire battlefield was now in chaos.

He is looking for Jin Zhun, and the Huns are also looking for Jin Zhun, where did *** go? Reply!

On the 13th, according to the news obtained by the enemy captured by Fang and County, Shao Xun pursued him to Hulu County.

After seeing the appearance of "Wang Shi", the county magistrate who was hiding came to him in the middle of the night, with a handful of snot and tears, telling how he insisted on resisting and finally had no choice but to turn in.

Shao Xun is not interested in his story and only asks him to search for supplies.

As a result, the whole day of the 14th was spent here, but only thousands of grains and beans were obtained, which was better than nothing.

On the same day, the county magistrate asked people around, and the results were mixed.

Some people said that they had seen the Xiongnu "brigade" and went in the direction of Peixian.

Some people say that the Xiongnu "brigade" crossed the river and went north.

Shao Xun was very suspicious of how many people were in the "brigade" in their mouths?

These people don't have much military experience, they don't know much about the heads, the cavalry brigade is marching, the smoke and dust are filled, and you don't dare to look closer, this deviation is too big.

A thousand-horseman Hun straggler was considered the main force by these squires.

There was no way, Shao Xun could only choose one direction by himself.

On the 15th, the army moved south to Peixian, arrived in the afternoon of the 16th, and captured hundreds of Huns and defeated them with one blow.

Fortunately, Pei County was not broken by the enemy, and the county order took 10,000 grains on the spot for replenishment.

At the same time, he sent people to the forts near the county seat, and ordered them to immediately gather a batch of grain and send it to the county seat.

At this point, Shao Xun finally felt the feeling of fighting on the inside line, and his confidence was a little more sufficient.

Xiongnu can appear near Pei County, and this Nima Jin Zhun really went to Pengcheng.
