Chapter three hundred and four outflanking the back road
The Chu army broke out.
At the junction of Luanshui and Wuding River, Xiang Zhuang and Gan Yong met unexpectedly. The blood-filled Major General Xiang was hung on his back. The black horse under his crotch was shaking his legs, looking like he was about to die.
"Save the Overlord."
Xiang Zhuang fell down. Behind him, more than 5,000 Chu soldiers who had finally broken through the siege collapsed to the ground, only drinking the sweet springs handed over by the Qin army.
This moment.
Qin and Chu, soldiers of the two countries, were like a pair of brothers who disliked each other and fought each other several times, when facing a common strong enemy, they actually joined hands again.
Yanshan is located in the southwest of Ji County, more than 100 miles.
This continuous mountain range was once one of the birthplaces of mankind. Between the rolling mountains and valleys, there was a beautiful grassland called the dam in later generations. Here, the wind was blowing low and the cattle and sheep were in herds. It was a nomadic place to deal with.
Maodun is very cunning.
The dam is located north of Yanshan Mountain. From the road conditions, it is easier to come from the northern grasslands, and thus it has become a bridgehead for the Huns to attack Yan land. The population and wealth that were captured from Yan land were concentrated by the Huns to the dam, and then transported to the north of the desert.
At this time, in a deserted village just five miles away from the dam, a dormant Qin army team was resting. Their mission was to track and find the resting place for the Huns, dealing with the uncertain grassland tribe like the Huns, destroying its foundation, and plunder its wives and children, so that they have no chance to reproduce and regenerate. This is the sharpest way.
After sending out Gan Yong and Zhonglimei two armies to attract the attention of the Huns, Li Yuan used his trump card. Several Qin troops sneaked into Yan land early, with only one goal, looking for Subuhun's camp.
Ji Xin is very lucky.
After layers of selection within the Qin army, he was appointed as the search team. Now, under his command, there are 72 brothers, all of whom are old soldiers who have experienced the battle formation. They are trustworthy companions on the battlefield.
After being captured at Hulao Pass, Ji Xin stayed in the captive camp for a whole year. At first, he fantasized about the Chu State to redeem him. After all, his eldest brother was General Ji Bu, but this time was a thing of the past and there was no more noise.
As time went by, Ji Xin's heart became weaker. Even though the Qin army's supervision was not so rigorous in the end, he did not think about returning to Chu. The country had already disappointed him and did not want to serve him anymore. Just when Ji Xin was disappointed and helpless, a recruitment manifesto brought him back to life.
This is the notice of the Qin army recruiting soldiers to fight against Yanbei. With a wider area, the Qin army's troops became increasingly tense. In this case, Li Yuan decided to promote soldiers from the prisoner camp.
Foreign war.
It is the best excuse to unite people's hearts.
After joining the Qin army, Ji Xin soon discovered that among the Qin army, not only the old Qin people in the city, but also the Ba people, Shu people and even the Zhao people.
"Ji Guns lead, look, there is a tent of the Xiongnu barbarians over there. There were a lot of Xiongnu barbarians coming in and out just now, and there must be good things inside." A young Qin army scout beside Ji Xin said softly.
"Speak softly, reconnaissance for a while, Ergouzi, you should hurry up. Wait and get close to the Huns' camp with me later to take a look." Ji Xin nodded.
Reconnaissance of the enemy situation.
The key lies in the accuracy of information.
Ji Xinchu entered the Qin army. He was eager to show his abilities with a beautiful contribution, so he decided to observe for a while to determine whether this place was really the base camp of the Xiongnu.
The wind blows the grass low.
On the dam in autumn, there is a golden piece. Under the gusts of autumn wind, the autumn grass on the grassland bows its head again and again. Occasionally, the figures of a few cattle and sheep are revealed. The white dome tents are dotted among the autumn grass. The women of the Xiongnu tribes who come with the army are busy squeezing milk and horse milk, allowing the fragrance of milk to float on the grassland.
The tent of the princess of Ning Hu Duanrong of the Daque clan was surrounded by a large group of tents. The Ning Hu clan went on an expedition with the army this time. He originally wanted to go to the city of Lowji County with Maodun. Later, he heard that the plague was prevalent in the south, and even Maodun fell ill and began to stay in the Bashang area, waiting for the return of the Hun army.
"Who?" Ji Xin and several scouts were just lurking to a place more than a thousand meters away from the Hun Princess's tent, when they were discovered by the Huns patrolling the camp.
"No, it's the Xiongnu tent." Ji Xin shouted softly and hurriedly signaled Ergouzi and others to retreat quickly.
"Swoosh!"
A whistle breeze passed by Ji Xin's ears with the sound of wind, and suddenly shot Ergouzi running away from the front to the ground.
"Brother Ji, it's really not easy to make a contribution." Erzhuzi squirted a few foams of blood from his mouth, and stared at Ji Xin's eyes gradually became unconscious.
"Get away quickly and leave separately!" Ji Xinxin ordered.
If he wasn't so greedy to verify just now, Ergouzi would not have died. However, if he didn't get close to the observation, how could he confirm that this was the Huns' tent?
——.
The battlefield situation is changing rapidly.
While calculating and being calculated, the Huns gradually reached the end of their strength.
In the open area between Yanshan and Yishui, Xubu, the King of Youguli, who was responsible for commanding more than 100,000 main forces on the southern line of the Xiongnu, was in a state of great stagnation.
In the Luanshui blocking battle, Ganyong's crossbow troops achieved brilliant results, which made more than 20,000 Huns soldiers lose their combat capabilities. Xubuhun, who retreated from Luanshui, tried to lead his troops to block Li Yuan's reinforcements, but he did not expect that what he got was bad news one after another.
The Qin army's border cavalry arrived from Jiuyuan, and Yuyang fell. Xubuhun had to draw 30,000 cavalry to resist the attack of the Qin cavalry. Then, he received information from the Qin and Chu coalition forces in disappointment. 20,000 soldiers were sent out again. When Li Yuan's central army arrived, the troops in Xubuhun's hands had been reduced to less than 30,000.
In terms of military strength, the Huns no longer have any advantage, which made Subuhun encounter a fierce attack from Zhonglimei as soon as he met the vanguard of the coalition forces Changshan Army.
Zhonglimei.
In the past, there were several powerful generals in the Chu army, and they were known for their calmness in their use of troops. This time, in order to rescue Xiang Yu, Zhongli Mei fought for his life.
The backbone of Changshan Army was still the original Chu army. Many generals and soldiers were from Dongjun and Dangjun, and they had close contacts with the generals and soldiers under Xiang Yu.
More importantly, Zhonglimei hopes to use this battle to show the prestige of the Changshan Army, so as to get rid of the dilemma of being able to live in a corner of Changshan.
Selfishness and righteousness.
During this rescue, Zhonglimei was perfectly combined.
Xubuhun, who tried to use the Huns harassment tactic to block the coalition forces from heading north, in the first confrontation with Zhonglimei, was in the evil way of the Changshan army, who had been raising their strength for many days.
Zhonglimei, who had rich combat experience, looked anxious during the march. The formation of the Changshan Army scattered several miles away like a long snake. In Xubuhun's eyes, there were flaws everywhere. As long as you choose a random attack, the Changshan Army will suffer significant losses.
But in fact, Zhong Limei secretly concealed his murderous intent in the scattered formation.
August 23.
dusk.
The Huns dispatched 10,000 cavalry to launch an attack on the Changshan army, but they did not expect to fall into the trap set by Zhonglimei. Zhonglimei, who had already reached a tacit understanding with Li Yuan, used the Changshan army as bait, used chariots as sharp weapons to block the enemy, and used the standard weapons eliminated by the Qin army as tools to kill the enemy, and wrapped the Huns in the battle formation and couldn't escape.
Most of the Qin army came from a distance to kill the generals. Li Yuan's central army was flying in the wind in the wind. Li Yuan, who had not personally gone to the battlefield for a long time, led a army to rush forward this time.
Seeing the Shenwu Hou personally expedition, the Qin army was even more motivated. With preparations and no plans, the Huns, who were afraid when fighting on the battlefield, only fought for one hour, left more than 3,000 corpses and fled to the depths of Yanshan Mountain.
Subu Hun's tribe was severely damaged.
At this time, the Qin border cavalry Su Jiao tribe, the closest to the dam, also got the real situation of the dam grassland from Ji Xin. Ji Xin was chased by the Huns and escaped into the valley. After four days of searching, he finally met Su Jiao, Yang Wengzi and others who were sweeping around Yuyang.
"Kill the slave!"
The great fighter was right in front of him, how could Su Jiao let go? Before he could ask Li Yuan for permission, he led nine thousand cavalrymen in his headquarters to quickly turn to the northeast. In front, Ning Hu Duanrong's Que tent was like a group of helpless yellow sheep running on the grassland, allowing the Qin cavalry to see the delicious temptation.
Twenty-five days.
Su Jiao led the left-wing army to cross the Yanshan Mountains and suddenly appeared in the dam. The strange marching direction of this Qin army surprised the Huns. He thought Su Jiao's troops would directly kill the left-behind Huns who rescued Ji County, but he never expected that the Qin army would suddenly turn and come to the dam.
For a moment, fires broke out on the dam, and countless tents were burned under the arson of the Qin people. The remaining Xiongnu obviously did not expect that their hidden place would be exposed. Ning Hu Duanrong was hasty, and even the valuables in the king's tent had no time to clean up. That is, under the protection of his personal soldiers, he fled to the central army of Maodun.
More than 13,000 Hun women and children were captured by the Qin army. Except for a few of the Xiongnu soldiers who were protected, the rest were wiped out by the Qin cavalry. Thousands of wealth were seized by the Qin cavalry. The piles of supplies made Su Jiao even more overjoyed. The things that the Huns finally robbed from Yan land have now become the spoils of the Qin army.
"Captain Ji, you can work harder to report the victory to Wuhou, and say that my side cavalry won a decisive victory and the Huns are finished." Su Jiao laughed loudly. On the opposite side, the veteran Yang Wengzi also smiled so hard that his face was trembling with wrinkles.
Finally, in front of the Huns, he was proud.
This is more worthy of celebration for the soldiers of the border army who were suppressed by the Huns for a long time than receiving military merits and rewards.
