Chapter 250: Pursuit

The Blue House and the Han coalition army blocking the road in the north did not block the Hun soldiers who fled to the north, they knew that if they blocked it desperately, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses, even if they could stop them, but they were damaged because of this strength, which was particularly unwise. www.biquge.info And these people have already eaten their poisoned arrows, even if they are allowed to flee to the main royal court, they will not live long.

So the coalition forces consciously gave way for them to escape and then continued to follow the pursuit, and all the generals who led the army got the high-favored book with a sentence on it: "The goal is Shule"

Shule is the core of Gao Pet's battle this time, as a foothold to Shannan, it is a place where soldiers must fight, so why didn't Gao Pet occupy Shule at the beginning and wait for work?

The answer is that there is not enough time, if it is stationed in Shule, it is not a temporary thing, but it needs to be held for a long time, and the grain and grass during the period of perseverance need to be constantly carried, and the time when the Huns may invade at any time, the mobile army Shule is obviously unable to make adequate preparations, so he simply deliberately gave up Shule, let him become the foothold of the Hun army, let them store the grain and grass there, and wait for the opportunity to move than at the beginning of the hard and hard benefits.

So Gao Zhong decided to lead the troops to retreat in Peishan City first, drag the Xiongnu army with the plague, and then wait for work, defeat the Xiongnu under the city, let the defeated soldiers flee north, and disappear in Shannan in a short time, so as to win time for the Han army to hoard grain and grass. Captain Zuo's words were purely a sudden desire to break off, so that Gao Zhong unexpectedly picked up a big bargain, but he didn't expect that there would be such a brave man in the Xiongnu royal court.

It's good now, thinking that the Xiongnu will at least retreat in an organized way, but now it has directly become a rout.

Responsible for the pursuit to the north, the first force was Shaoyuan, the envoy and the Blue Mansion Kingdom, and Shaoyuan's choice of this pursuit force at the beginning of the battle was actually well-intentioned.

Shaoyuan, who was in the first formation, followed at the end, and took the more than 100 dragon guards that came out as arrows to chase and kill those lone Hun soldiers.

And the Dawan horse deceived from the Dawan horse merchant also really showed his capital as the king of horses, originally before the war also occasionally jumped to challenge Shaoyuan, as soon as the battle began, the whole horse seemed to have spirituality, became extremely tame, when the pursuit began, it was countless times to catch up with the horse brigade in front, if it wasn't for the fear of breaking away from the army, Shaoyuan strangled countless times, just afraid that he would really rush up.

Long Xiangwei's horses can afford to eat, and they can still keep up, but those soldiers of the Western Regions Protectorate and the Blue Mansion who originally planned to mix up their exploits can't keep up with them, and even far away the Western Regions Protector Envoy keeps shouting, "Lord Overseer, Lord Overseer, slow down, don't go deep alone!"

Shaoyuan, who rushed to the front to harvest the heads of the people, naturally couldn't hear it, and such an important military situation was naturally only conveyed by Long Xiangwei who was behind. And then from Long Xiangwei to Shaoyuan's ears, at this time they had already rushed north for nearly a hundred miles, because the more and more Xiongnu were left behind, it delayed Shaoyuan's speed, so that the forward troops had time to rest, and the large army finally caught up with Shaoyuan's pace.

During the break, Gao Zhong finally led his troops to catch up, and saw Shaoyuan who was feeding soybeans and drinking water for the war horses, and soldiers resting on the ground. "Why stop?"

Shaoyuan raised his head and said, "Ah Pet, take a rest, this road is full of climbs, and it is a mountain road, how can we chase so fast, and this has already walked nearly a hundred miles, if we don't have a good rest, the troops left in the city by them will be in trouble."

Gao Zhong looked at his subordinates, and it was indeed sleepy, so he shook his head, "Okay, it's up to you, all of you will rest, and we will set off after sunset."

The Lord rested the dialects, and as if they had been pardoned, they began to dismount and feed their horses, or rest under the sparse trees on the side of the mountain, and after the fierce battle, they traveled hundreds of miles, and it must be said that he was very tired.

Riding the mountain wind, Gao Pet closed his eyes and recuperated, now the speed has slowed down, how to break the city needs to think about it, now they are also riding out lightly, lack siege weapons, so they can't come hard, repeat the mistake of Captain Zuo.

In meditation, I suddenly heard Shao Yuan's shout, "Hey big donkey, don't run, run around when you're full of food and drink, come back to me!" Gao Zhong opened his eyes and saw that Shaoyuan was chasing his mount, and saw that the 'big donkey' was biting Shaoyuan's helmet and running in front, and Shaoyuan was wearing a Hun fur hat to chase behind, the scene was very funny.

caused everyone present to laugh, Gao Zhong smiled and said, "Shaoyuan, obviously a majestic Wanliang horse, why do you call him a big donkey?"

Shaoyuan stopped and gasped, "This big donkey, his temper is as stubborn as a donkey, and he is usually disobedient! You see, no, while I was sleeping, he bit my helmet away, and then changed me into a Hun fur hat, I am a dignified Han soldier, how can I be insulted like this, don't say it, big donkey, you take a leave of absence, return my helmet."

Gao Pet laughed, "How can you catch up with you like this, Captain, I don't know how your horse kung fu is?

The captain smiled and said, "The last general obeys" and then turned over on the horse, "Wait for the overseer, you need to lasso the horse before taming the horse, and wait for the last general to help you."

Shaoyuan shouted, "It's just in time, so that I can completely tame that stubborn donkey!"

Shaoyuan, who was wearing the fur of the Huns, was messing around in the field, and the more Gao Pet looked at it, the more strange he felt, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed! The general, who was accustomed to being gentle and elegant, with a sense of cold alienation, suddenly laughed so unscrupulously, is it so funny for Shaoyuan to set a horse?

However, Shao Yuan was not attracted by Gao Chong's laughter, but the 'big donkey' was attracted by Gao Chong's laughter, and actually stopped, forgetting to struggle, so that Shao Yuan could easily jump on the horse and ride it, Shao Yuan also said proudly, "Dumbfounded, big donkey, it's not that General Ben is riding, eh, what are you looking at?" Shao Yuan saw that he was riding on the big donkey so handsomely, but he didn't attract attention, everyone looked at Gao Chong, and couldn't help but be very strange, "Ah Pet, what are you laughing at?"

Gao Zhong waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing, everyone is resting tonight, Ben Jiang has already thought of the strategy to break the city, we don't need a knife or a shot, we can enter Shule City openly"

Shaoyuan looked surprised, "There are such good things, come and hear about it, so that we can prepare for it"

Gao Zhong casually picked up the leather helmet that the Huns had thrown away on the ground, "When we enter the city, we rely on it!"

The defeated army of the Huns can be much worse than the Han army, but they are bent on running for their lives, and they run desperately because they get carried away, but the actions of escaping these actions that rely on willpower will naturally lead to the team becoming richer, so the people who fled back to Shule City are also batches. Even those who ran at the end felt that the Han army seemed to have given up the pursuit, so they slowed down.

The Hun soldiers who ran back to Shule City first immediately began to rest and treat their wounds, which spread to the whole city with a foul smell, full of the smell of horse manure.

At first, the hundreds of soldiers who stayed in Shule City would interrogate the troops who called the door outside the city gate, but as their number became more and more miserable, the inventory became more and more troublesome, and the last resort became more and more relaxed, and even finally, the door was wide open and sent people to receive the wounded soldiers below.

The Hun soldiers checked below, led by the deputy general, after the heroic break of Captain Zuo, he broke through with the troops, and now his life and safety have no worries, naturally he wants to find their backbone Captain Zuo.

"Have you seen Captain Zuo?" "No"

"Have you seen Captain Zuo?" "No"

The adjutant general and his own soldiers asked one by one about the wounded, and asked many questions, but each one was answered disappointedly.

At this time, the sound of "Captain Zuo is back, Captain Zuo is back" sounded outdoors outside the city, and the adjutant general patted his subordinates and asked his subordinates to hurry up with him to investigate.

The gates were wide open, and a group of listless defeated soldiers sat listlessly outside, as if they were gathered around something. There were quite a few people, at least seventy or eighty people.

The adjutant general asked the soldiers beside him, "What are they surrounding around?"

The soldier clenched his fists in his chest and said, "Back to the wolf lord of Qianhu, they said that the general has been sacrificed, and the corpse is among them, and they say that the non-wolf lord is not allowed to touch the corpse of Captain Zuo."

The adjutant general was startled, and then hugged his head and cried, "Ah! Lord Zuo!" After that, he knelt down and wept bitterly in the sky, his voice was extremely sad, and all the people present were moved, and all of them immediately knelt down to mourn the general who took the initiative to break off for them.

The Hun soldiers were all closing their eyes, silently praying in their hearts in their own words for their Captain Zuo. But the Han army will not miss this opportunity, since you are led to be killed, the Han army will not be so stupid and wait for you to react before fighting you fairly.

I saw that the soldiers surrounding the corpse of Captain Zuo took out the bright Han saber from under their robes. In the midst of the Huns' prayers, he killed them.

The lieutenant general stood in the front, heard the sound of weapons colliding, and suddenly found that the situation was not right, Hedi opened his eyes, but found that there was a narrow blade that had been approached in front of him, between the lightning and flint, the deputy general dodged the fatal blow with an arch bridge, and maintained a strange posture, but he heard the screams one after another from behind, and there was only one reaction in his mind, "The Han army is coming!"

The biggest problem with the weird posture is that it can't be adjusted, just like the lieutenant wants to get up, but finds that it is already a problem of a tiger in front and a wolf in the back. It didn't take him long to think, though, for a thump had already hit his feet. This was followed by a subtle sensation in the neck.

Before the head left his neck, he only heard countless Xiongnu words with deep fear, shouting the same sentence: "The Han army is coming!"
