Chapter 312: The Chu army breaks through
Battle in Yuyang.
Another stage of fighting for Yan land was revealed.
After the summer of June and July, the Huns gradually lost their ambition and enterprising spirit.
Teams of Hun soldiers returning from the Yan land began to return from the Yan land. Behind their carriages, there were not only the robbed wealth, but also countless women and children in the Yan land.
The proud and fulfilled Huns began to miss homesickness in August and gradually lost their minds to stay in Yan land.
In comparison, the Qin cavalry who came from afar did not look tired at all. When the Huns fought with the Chu people in Yan, the Qin army was sharpening their swords while riding for a long time, and they had been impatient for a long time.
The border people and the Huns in Jiuyuan - over the years, resentment and hatred have long been unclear. Before Maodun took over the Great Shanyu, the Qin army had the upper hand, and after the Qin State was destroyed, the border army was at a disadvantage.
In fact, these border people galloping around Hetao and Yinshan are actually very close to the Huns. Among them, intermarriage is the main reason. Of course, this intermarriage is based on strength, and generally speaking, it is a pairing between Qin and Huns.
The reason for this situation was mainly due to the strength of Qin and Huns in the Jiuyuan County area. After Li Yuan achieved the unification of Qin's military and political affairs, Wang Li's border army group gradually integrated into the Qin as a whole. With the support of the strong national strength behind it, the border army regained its vitality in the confrontation with the Huns.
The Xiongnu Right Gudu Hou, who was responsible for guarding the rear, fought and disappeared. Nearly 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry became the yellow sheep who were driven away and fled during the battle with the Qin cavalry.
Hearing that the Northern Front was defeated, the Great Shanyu Maodun, who was recuperating, did not care about the recurrence of his illness and personally led the central army to Yuyang to supervise the battle. Only then did he almost stabilize the front that was about to collapse.
On the southeast front, Han Xin and Lu Chen's 30,000 coalition forces quietly escaped from the junction of Qi and Yan. The target of this coalition forces was the Xiongnu Youguli King Xubuhun's troops who were extremely killed with the Gan Yong Army on the Luanshui front. Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the coalition forces could not be compared with the Huns, what is important is that they had an unexpected advantage.
The two reinforcements on the left and right were dispatched separately, and Li Yuan, the commander of the coalition forces, would certainly not stand by. The Qin, Changshan and Wei coalition forces built a floating bridge in Yishui and began to march northward in a group. In fact, it was precisely because of his restraint on the front that the Huns relaxed their vigilance on both wings.
A headache is split.
Based on his understanding of how he dealt with hatred among the grassland tribes, he never expected that Li Yuan would send troops to rescue Xiang Yu. Qin and Chu were old enemies who were immortal, so how could he not attack the capital of Chu when he could take advantage of the situation and run to the north to help the Chu army.
For the Huns in the north, the grudges and love between Qin and Chu can only be one result, that is, one side overwhelms the other, and there will never be any situation where both sides join together to deal with third parties.
Different cultural origins.
The Huns and the Central Plains people had different ways of thinking and insights when considering problems, and it was this difference that caused the Huns to suffer a great loss.
——.
Jixian.
The Chu army finally waited for the best time to break through.
On the banks of the Luan River, the fierce battle between the Qin army and the Xiongnu cavalry made Xiang Zhuang excited. He never expected that when the Chu army was in despair, the one who came to rescue was actually the old enemy Qin people.
Even if Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will be destroyed.
After Xiang Yu shouted this slogan and after Julu defeated more than 400,000 Qin troops, the hatred between Qin and Chu could no longer be resolved.
Unless the Qin people repay their grievances with kindness, how is this possible?
"Old King, we break south, more than 200 miles away from Ji County, which is the territory of the Qin people. As long as we break through the encirclement of the Huns, we can stick out." Xiang Zhuang looked excited and advised Xiang Yu, who was drunk and hazy.
"Qin people, how could the Qin people come to save us? Xiang Zhuang. You should talk to your sleep." Xiang Yu shook his feet, and his blood-covered double pupils were turbid.
Breakthrough.
He hasn't tried it.
But what the ten attempts brought Xiang Yu was deeper and deeper disappointment every time. Even the most successful one was just to let him escape alone.
If the elite northern expedition of more than 60,000 Great Chu ended up with the result of a single escape alone, then what would Xiang Yu have to live in the world and what would he have to meet the elders of Jiangdong?
In this battle, Xiang Yu really underestimated the enemy.
Originally, he thought that the Huns were just foreign barbarians, just like the foreign tribes active in Jiangdong and Shanyue, but they survived with their own courage and the cold weather in Mobei. June and July were the summer days in the north. After the Huns' reliance was gone, if the two armies with real swords and guns fought against each other, how could the Huns be the opponent of the Chu army?
However, the facts gave Xiang Yu a blow.
Maodun's military talent is even more powerful than Xiang Yu in terms of comprehensive capabilities. After achieving some initial results, the Chu army was surrounded by the Huns.
"Overlord, this time it is true. The scout just returned from the water route. In the Luanshui area, the Qin army and the Huns have been confronting each other for several days. As long as we break through this direction, we can join forces with the Qin army. At that time, the food and fodder supply will be settled-!" Xiang Zhuang rubbed his hands happily and said in a longing voice.
At this moment, the great joy of breaking through made Xiang Zhuang completely forget the grudges between Qin and Chu.
"Xiangzhuang, how motivated the soldiers in the city? How many people can fight?" Xiang Yu calmed down and asked. He had just woken up from a drunken state, but suddenly realized that not only Xiangzhuang, but also the eyes of his relatives around him showed a look of joy.
The desire for life.
It has overwhelmed everything.
"Over King, in Jixian City, our army has more than 30,000 soldiers, of which about two-thirds of the injured and weak soldiers. The number of soldiers who can fight is less than 10,000. However, after hearing the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the entire army was high and they all asked for battle--!" Xiang Zhuang replied happily.
"Okay, if you want to fight, you will fight. Even if I, Xiang Ji, is expected to be drunk, I, can still fight and kill him, kill him, and kill him alone in the Hun camp." Xiang Yu said loudly.
After saying that, Xiang Yu kicked the table with wine on the ground, took the helmets and armor held by his personal soldiers, and walked out of the old Yan Prince's Mansion with great strides.
When the black-coated horse saw Xiang Yu coming out, it immediately neighed with a long "Herodor". During this period, the Chu army was short of food, and many war horses were killed as military rations. The black-coated horse was spared because it was Xiang Yu's mount.
Li Yuan personally led the coalition forces to aid.
This unexpected news made Xiang Yu's already desperate heart once again full of fighting spirit.
What Li Yuan could do was, why could not do it, Xiang Yu? So what if there were too many Huns? Thinking about the Chu army facing the Qin army on the bank of the Zhang River, the Chu army was not the elite Qin army of up to 400,000. Now, when facing the siege of the Huns, were the Huns really stronger than the Qin army at that time?
Obviously not.
The real reason is that the Chu army's fighting spirit has fallen.
After winning status, glory and wealth, the Chu army gradually lost the desperate spirit when they had nothing. Many Chu army generals, such as Zhou Lan, began to protect themselves and began to choose to preserve their strength when the war was in a hurry, and no longer took the lead as bravely as before.
August 14th.
morning.
When the first ray of colorful clouds in the sky began to shine at the head of Jixian County, the ready-made Chu army troops opened the south gate, sweeping over the Xiongnu camp that had just woken up from their sleep like a ball of fiery fire.
This was a desperate attack.
The Chu army left nearly 30,000 wounded and sick soldiers, and almost fought in a miserable manner. If they were defeated again, the Chu army generals would no longer have the power to struggle. In the front of the Chu army's rushing forward, several Chu army generals, including Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang, Cao Ju, Xue Gong, etc., attacked the Huns with a decisive death, and caught the Huns off guard for a moment.
A wave of red swept across.
It took only half an hour to break through the first line of defense of the Huns. The scattered war horses ran aimlessly between the tents, while its owner lay down on the route of the Chu army's breakthrough and was directly stepped into a pile of mud.
The Huns Central Army’s Dome.
After the most difficult period of fighting, Maodun's condition finally began to recover gradually. This time, after learning that the Chu army had left the city, he began to dispatch troops and generals. There were about 100,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen who besieged the city, and these cavalry were all elite troops brought by Maodun from the north of the Mo.
Use 100,000 elite cavalry to deal with less than 10,000 Chu people.
Maodun was not worried about the result. The opponent he really paid attention to was the one Li Yuan who always unexpectedly and always made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"The Great Shanyu, the Chu people broke through the first camp and are now coming towards the central army. The army of the left and right generals and the right Gudu Hou are gathering."
In Maodun's tent, a group of relatives had already surrounded him. Although the Chu army could not have reached the Huns' central camp for a while, Maodun's safety made these relatives particularly worried.
Although the Chu army is nothing?
But Xiang Yu is the most powerful general in the world. Once such a single-handed general starts crazy, he will kill people by blocking people. If the Buddha blocks the Buddha, no one will be able to be safe and sound. After all, this is because Maodun is sick. If he changes to a strong period, Maodun can escape several miles away with just one horse, and there is no need to worry about the pursuit of the Chu people.
"I'm going to order all troops to siege and kill Chu Man. Today, Maodun will first kill the head of the Chu thief Xiang Ji, and then lead the army to fight Li Yuan." Maodun's face turned pale and ordered coldly.
Swallow land.
It has completely become a battlefield for fighting. The front between the Huns and the Central Plains people has long been unable to distinguish between each other. Such a melee is the favorite of the Huns who are good at raids. Maodun doesn't believe that Li Yuan's so-called coalition can eat up his elite soldiers and generals of the Great Huns.
