Chapter 168: Confrontation II
When Dakan decided to send out surprise troops to attack Liu Bian's rear, he assigned the two most courageous small tribe leaders under his command, namely Leader A and Leader B. In order to supervise these two leaders, Dakan also assigned
His confidant leader C, so these three Xiongnu leaders set out together with five thousand Xiongnu cavalry.
In order to reach Yunzhong County quietly, the three Xiongnu leaders decided to bypass Wuyuan County. Five thousand Xiongnu cavalry made a long circuit before arriving at Yunzhong County. After arriving at Yunzhong County, the three Xiongnu leaders
After some calculations, they decided to attack the city directly with only the 5,000 men under their command. It seemed a bit impossible. After all, the cavalry siege would cause great losses, so they decided to attack the city in small groups first.
of harassment.
Coincidentally, Zhu Da's caravan became their primary target, but this attack caused several people in the caravan to escape. The three Huns leaders understood that they had been exposed, and then they decided to test Yunzhong.
Because of the reaction of the Han army in the county, they sent some more people to attack the racecourse. As expected, the guards of the racecourse were very tenacious, and the more than a hundred Huns did not get any benefits. Later, the three leaders decided to temporarily cease their activities.
They were worried that the reaction of the Han army would be too strong. After all, Dakan only guessed that Liu Bian's rear would be empty. But now the three Xiongnu leaders don't think so. They have detected an army of 3,000 men in Yunzhong City.
Yes, this is not a force that can be underestimated.
However, the difficulty came so quickly. Zhang Yang's Jianqiang Battalion soon discovered the hiding place of 5,000 Huns cavalry, so the two sides immediately set up their positions.
Although the three Xiongnu leaders were on the same front, their hearts were not aligned. As far as the war in Shuofang County was concerned, the Huns were defeated in succession, and all their previous advantages were overturned. Leaders Jia and
Leader B could see that the Han army was powerful. If they had a head-on confrontation, they would most likely not get any advantage and would most likely be wiped out. Therefore, the two Xiongnu leaders thought of retreating in their hearts.
idea.
But Leader B didn't think so. He was loyal to Dakan, so he naturally wanted to resolutely carry out Dakan's orders and fight the Han army.
"The Han army has nearly three thousand men. This battle will not be easy to fight!" said the leader, Jia.
"Who says otherwise? After this battle, we don't know if we will still be alive!" Leader B said.
"Hmph! The battle hasn't even started yet, and you two are already timid. What cowards! If you don't dare to fight, then I will go. But I don't have as many people as you, so you have to give me some people."
Leader C said.
Leader A and Leader B looked at each other, and they nodded in agreement with a tacit understanding, so Leader C took three thousand Huns cavalry and prepared to charge.
Originally, leader A and leader B each brought 1,500 people from the tribe, and leader C took 2,000 people from the tribe. Now leader A and leader B each brought 500 people to leader C. They seemed to be from their own tribes.
The number of people has become smaller, but they can use these 1,000 people to let Leader C test the strength of the Han army. Leader A and Leader B both think it is worth it. They have secretly decided to fight as soon as the battle situation goes wrong.
The formation of the Jianqiang Battalion has been set up, Zhang Yang's face is solemn, he is leading the battle alone, not only has Liu Bian's orders, but he is also responsible for the safety of the entire Yunzhong City and even the entire Yunzhong County people. It can't be seen.
The Hun cavalry in the distance, their arrogant look made Zhang Yang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.
Your Highness, I am under so much pressure right now!
How much pressure does Zhang Yang feel? Now
Liu Bian definitely couldn't feel it. Zhang Yang could only bear this pressure silently. Of course, Zhang Yang was not the only one who felt the pressure. At this moment, Yang Chou was trembling. He was not afraid.
, but in excitement.
Killing enemies and making meritorious deeds, getting promoted and making a fortune is right in front of you. Brothers, come with me!
Uh... No, our Jianqiang Battalion must hold its position to make full use of its troops. Brothers, hold on with me!
There is no doubt that no one can hear Yang Chou's inner monologue. Even if someone hears it, no one will be willing to pay attention to him, because there is going to be a war. Can you be more serious?
As the horn sounded, three thousand Huns cavalry launched a charge. Leader C was at the forefront of the troops. He charged the most bravely and decisively. The Huns cavalry came menacingly and arrogantly, but what they faced was the strong spear battalion.
Three thousand spears were raised, and the trembling spearheads were inserted straight into the ground, and they were not exposed until they were twenty steps away.
The Huns had no way to retreat and no way to escape. They all bumped into the spears and screamed all over the place for a while. The battle situation was locked at this moment. It is conceivable that the result was that the three thousand Huns cavalry left and never came back. All of them were confessed.
.
Yang Chou rose up in the battle. He slashed with the single sword in his hand and killed more than ten Huns in a blink of an eye. He also suffered several scratches on his body. Although the pain was there, Yang Chou couldn't stand it at all.
He didn't take it seriously. The enthusiasm for killing the enemy filled his entire nerves, and he was obviously going to kill him. There were many soldiers in the Jianqiang camp like Yang Chou, but Zhang Yang was much calmer. As the top leader of the Jianqiang camp,
As a leader, Zhang Yang has to keep a clear mind at all times. After all, he still shoulders the heavy responsibility of commanding on the spot.
This battle was not as intense as Zhang Yang had imagined. The successful use of the horse-slaying formation caused the Hun cavalry to be directly taken away in a wave. The subsequent clean-up work could only be regarded as a one-sided massacre and expulsion. The leaders Jia and He who were in the rear
After Leader B saw this scene, the two men looked at each other in a tacit understanding.
"The fighting power of the Han army is really strong. Fortunately, we did not rush in together, otherwise the end would be the same as that of leader C." Leader A said.
"What you said makes sense, and I think so too, but do you think if we rush over now, we will defeat the Han army in one fell swoop?" Leader B said.
"Huh? Why do you have such unrealistic ideas? Let me tell you, your ideas are very dangerous! At the moment, the Han army is fighting fiercely. Thanks to the 3,000 people of Leader C, we delayed the battle.
If we rush over now, the Han army will definitely attack us, and what will happen even if we defeat these three thousand Han troops? There are still many Han troops waiting for us in Yunzhong City! The city is so tall,
With the few people we have now, what can we do to fight?" Leader A said.
"Then what do you think should be done? We can't just watch here!" Leader B asked.
"In my opinion, this battle cannot be fought now. You have also seen the combat effectiveness of the Han army. With the two thousand people we have now, there is simply not enough to fill the gap between the Han army's teeth. If we go back like this, Da
If Kan knows that we did not get any benefits from this surprise attack and also killed leader C, we will definitely be killed by Dakan, so there is only one way for us to go now." Leader A
said.
"Which way is possible? Tell me quickly!" Leader B asked.
"For the current plan, we have no choice but to go to Shangjun to seek refuge with the leader of the left army!" Leader A said.
"Ah? Our right department has always been at odds with the left department. Then the leader of the left department will take care of us.
Us?" Leader B said.
"One moment is not the other, can't you see? His Royal Highness the King of Xihe is a really powerful character. It's uncertain whether the right wing of the Xiongnu will be able to exist in the future! We are going to seek refuge now, just to let the left wing
This is a good opportunity to strengthen the army. If the leader of the left army is not damaged, he will not reject us. Besides, let’s go and take a look first. If it doesn’t work, we can find a way out!” said leader A.
"Well! What you said makes sense, so I'll listen to you and let's leave now?" Leader B said.
"If you don't leave now, when will you wait?" Leader A replied with a smile, and then he rode away. Leader B quickly followed, and the two thousand Huns cavalry left directly as if they didn't exist.
When Zhang Yang and Yang Chou saw this scene, they were both stunned. What happened? Didn't the two thousand Huns come to fight? Are they here for tourism?
However, Zhang Yang and Yang Chou had no time to think too much. The Xiongnu leader B had already been crowned, but there were still many Xiongnu cavalry to deal with. The war had reached its final stage, and they could not relax at the last moment.
Maybe Dakan, who was already dead, didn't expect that the surprise troops he used would be defeated so easily. I'm afraid if Dakan found out, he would have to crawl out of the cemetery.
Of the five thousand Huns cavalry, three thousand were defeated and two thousand retreated. Yunzhong County returned to a stable situation. Dou Xin immediately sent someone to inform Liu Bian of the results of the battle. Jian Qiang Battalion won a battle, which made the entire Yunzhong County victorious.
An exciting incident in the county capital also made the people under Liu Bian's rule even more confident in this war.
When Liu Bian learned the news, it was already many days later. Zhang Yang's Jianqiang Battalion successfully defeated the Xiongnu troops. This news made Xun You, Tian Feng and others breathe a sigh of relief. At present, Liu Bian had just fought with
The 40,000 troops from the rear of the Xiongnu who arrived later started to confront each other.
Speaking of the 40,000 troops behind the Xiongnu, something happened that surprised even Liu Bian.
On July 2, two days after the original 40,000 Xiongnu rear troops set out from Linrong City, Yuvluo joined forces to go to Bei and gathered 2,000 people to launch a coup in Linrong City. They rescued the Qiang Canal and drove away the Xiongnu.
Qi Keda, the leader of the Xiluo tribe on the right. The defeated Qi Keda caught up with the 40,000 Xiongnu troops in the rear led by Zhaqing, the leader of each tribe. After learning that the Qiang Qu had occupied Linrong City, Zhaqi led his army to fight back.
He was defeated and he led the remaining army to flee to the left side of the Xiongnu.
On July 14th, how could we stay behind in Linrong City? Zha Chi personally led 40,000 Huns to set off again to prepare for a battle with Liu Bian's army.
On July 22, the 40,000 Xiongnu troops who could not resist launched an attack on Woye City, but earlier Liu Bian had deployed the Horn Formation, Woye City, Guangmu City and the camp established by Liu Tong's Jingqi Battalion between the two cities.
, the three parties help each other, how can they fail to attack several times.
On August 8, Liu Bian's army and Qike's army fought several times. Both sides suffered injuries, but because neither side could break through the other, the war entered a confrontation stage.
On August 18, the war in Shuofang County attracted Liu Hong's attention. In order to reduce Liu Bian's pressure, Liu Hong, at He Jin's suggestion, dispatched Huangfu Song stationed in Liangzhou to support the army, and Huangfu Song led the army.
Ten thousand arrived at Woye City, accompanied by Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li.
On August 23, He An and Suo Tu, who went to Danhan Mountain to request Xianbei reinforcements, finally arrived at Woye City. The leader personally led 20,000 Xianbei cavalry to support them.
