Chapter 59: The Battle of the Xiongnu in the South of the Yellow River (I)
The Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang sent cavalry to first invade Shanggu and Yuyang (now Miyun, Beijing).
General Han Anguo, who was stationed in Shanggu, led 700 people to fight, and Dongsheng was transferred to Han Anguo as a pioneer general!
The Hun soldiers just finished the Spring Festival, eating and drinking beef and mutton, it is the time to raise soldiers and protect blessings, looking for a place to vent everywhere, so they are very brave!
Han Anguo led Dongsheng and other soldiers not afraid of the Huns and bravely faced the battle, but the opponent's soldiers were strong and strong, and the preparations were more meticulous, not only arranging the front attack, but also arranging the ambush of bow and crossbow masters around.
When Han Anguo went into battle to kill the enemy bravely, there were always a few Hun generals who specifically surrounded him, so that he desperately killed them and killed them, because he was too focused on killing the enemy, and did not pay attention to the archers hiding around, Han Anguo suffered a plot, and was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and thigh, and the big knife was gone.
At the most critical time, Dongsheng stepped forward, flew to Han An's horse, protected Han An, and led everyone to retreat quickly, most of the Han army was wounded and defeated, Han An ordered to retreat to the barrier not out, avoid frontal conflict, and report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Dongsheng was hit by four arrows in his body and was treated for a period of time, but in the end, he died because of his injuries!
When everyone heard this, they finally couldn't help crying, Jasmine cried the hardest, and the other three men forced their cries, but they still couldn't stop crying.
Dongfang Shuohou buried Dongsheng and returned to the lower courtyard, and everyone was silent because of their grief. Jasmine returns to her mother and begins to tell her about his experience.
In the guest hall, the three brothers shook hands with each other, nodded to each other, and encouraged each other, they must kill the Huns, avenge Dongsheng and the people!
Xia Sheng and Qiu Sheng went back to Shanglin Yuan to report for duty because of military affairs! Dongfang Shuo understood what Chunsheng wanted to do, so he burst into tears. Dongfang Shuo later stopped his tears and said, "You have a deep brotherly relationship, I will discuss with General Han and send you to be a pioneer for him." ”
Chunsheng shouted loudly, "Thank you, Master!"
Back in the room, Chunsheng found Jasmine and mentioned to her that she was going to the front line, although Jasmine felt that the husband and wife had just been reunited, and it would not be long before they would be separated, but she understood the big truth, both public and private, she should support Chunsheng to go to the front.
She hugged Chunsheng and said in a choked voice: "Chunsheng, although we get together less and leave more, I still insist that you go to the battlefield! I support you to go to the front line, knowing that there are me and your children in the rear, you must pay attention to safety! I and the children are waiting for you to return!"
Chunsheng and Jasmine shed tears and said goodbye! Then the master took Chunsheng to find General Han Anguo.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che received an urgent report from Han Anguo, he laughed, and said in his heart: I have long been dissatisfied with my relatives, and I just want to defeat the Huns. In order to defeat the Xiongnu, he carefully prepared for such a long time from politics, military, grain storage, training, talents to weapons, and was looking for a suitable time to prepare for the war against the Xiongnu, but the Xiongnu came to the door this time.
He immediately summoned all the generals to the palace, and everyone had a good discussion about how to fight this war.
Everyone looked at the map and expressed their opinions. In the end, Wei Qing said to the emperor: "We might as well adopt the tactics of encircling Wei to save Zhao -- since Hu Cai is advancing eastward, then our Han cavalry will attack westward, smash their old holes, so that they can't care about each other, if they hurriedly transfer troops to save the old nest at this time, and then we will intercept them halfway and carry out a surprise attack, we will win a big victory." ”
Everyone unanimously agreed on this course of action.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Han An's state to move eastward to Youbeiping to block the Xiongnu from advancing eastward, and ordered the chariot cavalry general Wei Qing and the general Li Xi to quickly send troops to Yunzhong (northeast of present-day Tuoketuo, Inner Mongolia) to raid the Xiongnu south of the Yellow River, where the Xiongnu were weakly defended.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Han Anguo as the general of the material officer, and at this time, Han Anguo was reborn as a general, and sent new soldiers to garrison Yuyang, strengthening the defense of the east.
After Wei Qing and Li Xi led their troops out of the plug, they made a great detour from the clouds to the west.
The two divisions first marched westward along the north bank of the Yellow River (left bank), and under the cover of the Great Wall of Qin, they quickly advanced to Gaoquesai (northwest of the Yellow River in present-day Hangjin Houqi, Inner Mongolia), cutting off the connection between the Xiongnu Baiyang and Loufu two kings stationed in the south of the Yellow River and the Xiongnu hinterland.
The people sent by the two kings of the Huns and Lou Fu to contact the rescuers were captured by Wei Qing again!
Then Wei Qing suddenly turned south, to complete the roundabout outflanking of the Hetao and the area south of it, the two sides of the attack, Wei Qing launched a surprise attack tactics, the Huns were not ready, were beaten by Wei Qing's soldiers, they fled one after another, the Huns Aries King, Lou Fu to the running soldiers indiscriminately, but could not stop the Huns from scattering and fleeing, Wei Qing led the troops to march, and defeated them in one fell swoop.
The two kings of the Xiongnu led a small number of their own soldiers to flee and achieved an initial victory in the west!
This is the Huns have never had a defeat, the Huns military ministers are like thunder, he sent the Huns soldiers in three ways, break through the Great Wall, and invade the north of the Han Dynasty. He thought that the Han Dynasty was still the Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Wenjing!
More than 20,000 cavalry on the left side attacked Liaoxi, the Liaoxi army was afraid of the Xiongnu, and soon retreated, the Xiongnu killed into the city, beheaded the Liaoxi Taishou, plundered more than 2,000 border people, and continued to go north!
In the middle of the road, Han Anguo entered the area of Yuyang, Beijing, and Han Anguo found the generals to study countermeasures.
Yuyang Taishou said: "I am stationed in Yuyang, General Han can be stationed in Beiping, and let Chunsheng be stationed in Yanmen, so that all three of us can be effectively defended!"
Chunsheng said: "I don't agree, in this case, our forces are very scattered, and it is easy to be broken by the Xiongnu army. We should all garrison Yuyang and fight to the death, and then once General Wei Qing succeeds in advancing westward and achieves a greater victory, the enemy army will inevitably send troops to rescue, and the pressure on us will be reduced so far, at this time we will turn defense into attack, and cooperate with General Wei Qing, and we will annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!"
Han Anguo asked Chunsheng: "How sure do you think General Wei Qing's westward advance to break the Xiongnu's nest is successful?"
Chunsheng said: "Because this is a risky move, it should be said that it is half and half!"
Han Anguo originally had a big opinion on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's reuse of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and he was not impressed by whether Wei Qing could achieve victory. So he said: "That's it, a dangerous move, why should we cooperate with him?
Chunsheng was a little angry, and thought to himself: The two countries are at war, how can there be any personal grudges, you have an opinion on General Wei Qing, you can't joke about the entire combat policy, how many people will be killed?
When he thought that Dongsheng died for this stubborn general, he really felt a little worthless. Chunsheng spoke again: "General, I can die, but I don't want to die in humiliation, my brother is dead, I don't want the tragedy to happen again, the soldiers of the Huns, after a long journey, must want to fight quickly, because only a quick battle, they can guarantee supplies, but if we concentrate our forces and resist desperately, we will definitely delay their fighting spirit, so that we can have the possibility of victory, and now that the military is scattered, it is easy for the tragedy to repeat!"
Chunsheng's words stimulated Han Anguo's sore spot, and he shouted: "Presumptuous! That's all for today's discussion, and we'll discuss it another day!"
Chunsheng was very angry, and he had to lead his troops back to Yanmen!
The Huns killed, the main attack on Yuyang, Yuyang Taishou led the troops to attack, not a few rounds, Yuyang Taishou was cut under the horse by the Hun general, Yuyang defenders more than 1,000 people immediately chaos, so the Huns took advantage of the chaos to kill Yuyang, Yuyang missed!
The middle road and the north road of the Xiongnu army converged, and then came to the city of Beiping, the Xiongnu just won the battle, morale was high, Han Anguo led the army of more than 1,000 horsemen to meet the battle, step by step was lured to the valley, was completely surrounded by the Huns in the valley, almost annihilated, Han Anguo died!
Taking advantage of the victory, the Xiongnu came to Yanmen on the right side. Chunsheng battled, Chunsheng muscles and bones whipped, fought the Huns, called for insects and snakes to help, how could there be too few soldiers, only more than 1,000 people, the first time to fight a draw, back to the city to defend.
The left, center, and right armies of the Xiongnu concentrated their superior forces and began to storm Yanmen.
