Chapter 337
/
Hun Zhao Xincheng, the Han army slaughtered cattle and sheep, rewarded the whole army!
Yi Zhixie Chanyu and the second king Zhao Xin fled into Yanran Mountain, where they disappeared. The Han army on the west route destroyed more than 100,000 Xiongnu, conquered Zhao Xin city, and seized hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep!
"Further north, for Yanran Mountain, the road is difficult and the supply is difficult. If you continue to chase and kill, I am afraid that you will only lose more troops and horses in vain."
Wei Qing convened the generals and announced the class teacher.
Yizhi Xie Chanyu's main force was defeated, and the hoarded food and forage were plundered by the Han army, and the threat to the Han Empire was greatly reduced.
The Han army cannot keep chasing.
"Chu Zimou intends to go to attack the Xiongnu Longcheng. If any of you are willing to follow, you can go too."
Wei Qing supported Chutian and decided to let Chutian march eastward to attack the Xiongnu Longcheng and join Huo Qubing.
The princes present were whispering in private, wondering why Chutian would attack the holy land of the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu Dragon City is now an empty city. All the main forces are concentrated under the command of Yi Zhi Xie Chanyu and Zuo Xian Wang. They have been defeated by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing respectively. It is meaningless for Chu Zimou to fight an empty city and it is impossible to get extra points. .
It will take some time from Zhao Xincheng to Longcheng, and then from Longcheng to Daijun of the Han Empire, it will take quite a while, and there is a possibility of getting lost in the middle.
Chutian's behavior is confusing.
No one wants to spend time doing something that doesn't do any good.
Chutian's action is more like leading an army to the Xiongnu Dragon City for sightseeing.
"I can't make do with attacking Longcheng. This place is desolate, it's better to go back to Longxi to be at ease."
Xu Fengnian, the lord of Longxi, did not plan to participate. He thought that in the Battle of Mobei, he could get a similar ranking and get a certain reward.
"The Battle of Mobei is really hard for our lords south of the Yangtze River."
Several princes in the south also chose to withdraw and returned to Dingxiang County with Wei Qing.
There is not much room for a group of southern lords to play in Mobei. If not all the lords who participated in the battle of Mobei could more or less get special rewards, they would not venture to the desolate Mobei.
"Return to Jizhou as soon as possible and sweep across Hebei."
Yuan Shao negotiated with Xu You and Ju Shou, thinking that it would be of little significance to attack the Hun City of Longcheng, which had few troops, and decided to follow Wei Qing to withdraw.
Wei Qing believed that Yizhi Xie Shanyu and Zhao Xin had already fled to the north, and that the Xiongnu Longcheng was attacked by him once a few years ago, so there was no need to spend a lot of troops and resources to attack the second time. He considered the problem from the perspective of the Han Empire, and withdrawing troops at this time could reduce a lot of unnecessary expenses for the Han Empire. In order to prepare for the Battle of Mobei, Emperor Wu of Han had almost emptied the treasury.
Only Cao Cao was hesitating, and finally he was shocked: "I would like to go together to attack the Xiongnu Dragon City."
Yuan Shao couldn't believe it: "Cao Amo, why spend a month in this desolate place?"
Even Xu Fengnian, Yang Shilang, Wang Defa, Liu An and other foreign princes all looked at him. Cao Cao and Chu Zimou were like water and fire in the main world, fighting with each other. He even dared to go with Chu Zimou to fight the Xiongnu Longcheng. Isn't he afraid of being attacked by Chu Zimou in the middle?
"Since the man has made a decision, he will do what he says. I believe that Chu Zimou will not embarrass me in the middle."
In order to prevent Chutian from attacking him halfway, Cao Cao,
To exert public pressure on Chutian. If Chutian backstabs him, his prestige among the foreign princes will decline, and no princes will believe any of Chutian's promises in the future.
As expected of Cao Cao, there is still this trick.
Chutian did not expect that Cao Cao would be willing to go together to attack Longcheng. If you are horns with Cao Cao, it will naturally be safer.
"Tomorrow we will part ways here. If you are lucky, you may meet the hussar generals around Longcheng."
After Wei Qing decided to return to the division, the Han army on the West Road was divided into two teams.
In order to support Chutian, Wei Qing handed over 100,000 livestock to Chutian and Cao Cao as military resources.
The two legions of Chutian and Cao Cao replenished food, grass and water bags in Zhaoxin City, and another 100,000 animals were enough to reach Longcheng and Langjuxu Mountain. On the way, they plundered the livestock of the Xiongnu tribe and returned to Daijun of the Han Empire.
Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi specially saw off for Chutian, because of Chutian's help, they obtained a lot of military merit, and they were expected to be named marquis.
"Cao Mengde, this trip is not as simple as you think. If you choose to follow the general back to the division at this time, it may be the best choice for you."
Chutian reminded Cao Cao before leaving for Langju Xushan.
Sealing Langjuxu is an SS-level achievement task, and the content of the task is also very simple - march to Langjuxu Mountain and worship heaven and earth.
On the premise that there is enough food and King Youxian of the Xiongnu as a guide, it is only a matter of time to go from Zhao Xincheng to Longcheng, and then to Langjuxu Mountain near Longcheng.
But Chutian always felt that the SS-level achievement task should not be so simple.
"Treading through the Dragon City, the holy land of the Xiongnu, how can you let you, Chu Zimou, enjoy such a credit?"
Not to be outdone, Cao Cao decided to attack Longcheng no matter what he said, and sealed the wolf in the house.
"Just don't regret it."
The Chutian Legion set off first, and his cavalry only had more than 7,000 people. In order to eliminate the Xiongnu cavalry, the Chutian Army suffered huge losses. Some soldiers and horses died during the march.
During the desert march, the phenomenon of non-combat attrition is very serious.
"Let's follow!"
Cao Cao suspected that Chutian's sudden eastward attack against the Xiongnu Longcheng must have other plans, so he chose to act with Chutian, and maybe he would get some benefits.
"What the hell is Chu Zimou thinking?"
The princes who followed Wei Qing's class teacher were puzzled.
Before the Han Empire's West Route Army evacuated Zhao Xincheng, they burned Zhao Xincheng and all the food and grass that could not be taken away, and implemented the scorched earth policy, which completely depleted the Xiongnu's national strength.
After that, the troops of the West Route were divided into two routes, Chutian and Cao Cao, with about 10,000 cavalry, quickly marching towards the Xiongnu Longcheng, trying to join the East Route army led by Huo Qubing. Chutian's real purpose is to complete the SS-level achievement "Fenglang Juxu". Cao Cao, who didn't know the truth, thought that Chutian had other ideas and believed that following Chutian could gain benefits.
Wei Qing, Li Guang, Xu Fengnian and the others followed the road they came from and headed south to Dingxiang County. This route is the closest, which can reduce the loss of grain and grass, and at the same time merge with the rear baggage team.
After the Han army burned Zhao Xin City, Yi Zhixie Chanyu, who had learned that the Han army had left Zhao Xin City, and since the second king Zhao Xin returned here, Zhao Xin City was already a scorched earth. The huge amount of grain and grass hoarded by the Huns were burned to the ground and suffered heavy losses.
"This hatred is not shared by the sky!"
Yi Zhi Xie Shanyu was very annoyed. From Monan to Mobei, the Han army ran rampant, and the Xiongnu's national strength was greatly damaged, and it would be difficult for the next ten years to become a climate.
Yi Zhi obliquely reported to the Xiongnu scouts deployed in the area of Zhao Xincheng: "Lord Shanyu, there is a Han army of more than 10,000 people marching eastward. It is suspected that they are marching eastward and heading to Longcheng!"
"Longcheng doesn't have many troops, why are the Han army still attacking there? Could it be that they want to humiliate me again?"
Yi Zhi Xie Shanyu thought that Wei Qing had swept the Dragon City ten years ago, and now the Han army wants to sweep the Dragon City for the second time. This is not humiliation, what is it?
Facing the repeated humiliation of the Han Empire, Xin Zhao was equally annoyed: "Sir Shanyu, we still have tens of thousands of troops and horses in our hands. We recruit warriors from various tribes along the way, and when we arrive at Longcheng, we can get at least 70,000 or 80,000 troops and horses, which is enough. Destroy this Han army!"
"Go east now!"
Yi Zhi Xie Shanyu could not bear such a huge loss. His reputation almost plummeted in this battle. He had to win a victory, even a small victory after a big defeat, to help him regain his popularity among the Huns. Because of the Battle of Mobei, all the troops and horses of the Xiongnu have suffered setbacks. As long as there is a small victory, he Yi Zhixie is still the most heroic warrior of the Xiongnu tribe!
Under the call of Yizhi Xie Shanyu and Zizi Wang Zhao Xin, the scattered Xiongnu regrouped under Shanyu's command.
They were devastated by the Han army and could not survive this winter without someone to lead them.
With the mentality of revenge and re-establishment of power, Yi Zhixie, Shanyu and Zhao Xin gathered 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry, followed the Han army eastward, and continued to absorb the troops and horses of the surrounding tribes along the way, and the number was increasing rapidly.
In Langju Xushan, Huo Qubing, a 21-year-old hussar general, led several princes to seal Langjuxu!
Jiujiu Lao Qin, Mingguan, Tongque, Huma, Zhao Long and others were fortunate enough to witness this historic moment and their blood boiled!
They have penetrated into the desert for more than a thousand miles, breaking through 300,000 Xiongnu!
After Huo Qubing sealed Langjuxu, he was still not satisfied. He continued to lead his cavalry to pursue King Zuo Xian northwards, climbed to the vast sea, and drank the horses of Lake Baikal!
At this time, Chu Tian and Cao Cao did not know how Huo Qubing's East Route Army was progressing, but drove the livestock plundered from the Huns and marched towards the Xiongnu Longcheng.
To Longcheng, continue to the east, it is Langju Xushan.
If Chutian had followed Huo Qubing all the way, he would have already accomplished the achievement of "Fenglang Juxu". Now he has to straddle the small desert, specifically to find Langjuxu Mountain.
The unlucky King Youxian of the Xiongnu was tied up by Wuhua and led the way.
If King Youxian of the Xiongnu knew that his concubines were being held in Cao Cao's camp, how would he feel.
"Ten years ago, Wei Qing made his first expedition, leading 10,000 cavalry into the desert, directly attacking the Dragon City, the holy place of worship for the Xiongnu.
Chu Tian looked around, the desert was vast and vast, and only when he truly marched in the desert could he understand why the farming civilization could never eliminate the nomadic civilization. This kind of place is not suitable for farming civilization to live at all.
The first time Wei Qing led his troops into battle, he dared to go deep into the desert for more than a thousand miles, and even 10,000 cavalrymen would not dare to write this.
Huo Qubing's first expedition was also a rush of hundreds of miles, and many achievements were made.
It can be seen that Huo Qubing's tactics were somewhat influenced by Wei Qing.
The black war eagle hovered in the air, falling to rest from time to time, and was responsible for monitoring the range of dozens of miles.
In the rear of Chutian and Cao Cao's army, Yi Zhixie Chanyu and Zhao Xin had already arrived only a hundred miles away, beyond the scope of War Eagle's detection.
Yi Zhi Xie Shanyu knew the terrain of Mobei in his chest: "Zhao Xin, when you approach Longcheng, you will lead 30,000 cavalry to block the way of the Han army's southward escape. We will attack from the west and south to destroy this Support the Han army! The east is Langju Xushan, the north is the vast sea, this Han army with more than 10,000 horses is hard to fly!"
"They live in nine lives!"
Xin Zhao, who was humiliated by Wei Qing in the war, recognized Yi Zhixie's arrangement.
As long as the main force of the Han army left, he did not believe that he and Chanyu had gathered tens of thousands of cavalry, and they were still unable to destroy the Han army's cavalry, which numbered only more than 10,000.
Mobei is their home ground. They are familiar with the terrain here, and they can completely use the terrain to encircle and destroy the Han army's partial divisions.
"Why do I have an uneasy premonition?"
Cao Cao was marching, and there was a coolness behind him.
Cao Cao regretted following Chutian to attack the Xiongnu Longcheng.
Wei Qing's army retreated along the way, who knows if Yi Zhi Xie Chanyu will make a comeback?
No one knows how many Xiongnu tribes there are in Mobei.
The seriously injured Zhang Liao followed Wei Qing's army back to Dingxiang County, with only Dian Wei and Xiahou Yuan beside Cao Cao.
Compared with Cao Cao, who was uneasy, Chu Tian's mood was not so heavy. He could soon destroy Longcheng, seal Langjuxu, and slip away Yanran Mountain and Langjuxu Mountain.
Yan Ran Mountain has an achievement "Yan Ran Rehabilitation", but now it is the battle of Mobei, this achievement has not been opened. Otherwise, Chutian may complete the two achievements of "Yan Ran Le Gong" and "Fenglang Juxu" at the same time.
...
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guzhu City in western Liaoning, Sun Chuanting led the Qin army in the late Ming Dynasty to fight against the city against the forces of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Gongsun Zan. The two sides fought in Lone Bamboo City, and the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth. Zhang Fei himself went into battle to kill the enemy!
With Sun Chuanting's back against the city wall, Lu Xiangsheng led Tianxiong's army to support Sun Chuanting with a strong crossbow on the city wall, and violently shot Zhang Fei's army. Tianxiong's army was condescending and gave Zhang Fei a lot of damage! Zhang Fei's army was hit hard and retreated like a tide!
"Lone Bamboo City is really difficult to capture."
Liu Bei acted as the vanguard and attacked Lone Bamboo City, but was repelled by the combination of Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, in vain. The siege side has to pay a higher price than the defender side. Sun Chuanting went out to defend the city, and Lu Xiangsheng stood on the city wall to support and cooperate with each other to double the difficulty of attacking the city.
In order to compete for Youzhou, the five princes fought fiercely. Liu Yu and Prince Yan led the Chinese army to approach Lone Bamboo City. Once Liu Yu and Prince Yan's Youzhou army joined Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Gongsun Zan, the pressure on Lone Bamboo City was even greater.
In a forest in western Liaoning, a cavalry general ambushed 10,000 cavalry soldiers and was closely watching the 100,000-strong army of Liu Yu and Prince Yan.
This time, he will break through 100,000 cavalry with 10,000 troops and behead the generals to capture the flag!
The military advisor of Mingguan, the black-clothed prime minister Yao Guangxiao, handed over the Guanning cavalry and the Liaodong cavalry to him.
"Liu Yu and Prince Yan are less than fifteen miles away from our army!"
"Less than ten miles!"
"Less than seven miles!"
"Less than four miles!"
"It's time to attack!"
The 10,000 cavalry left the dense forest of ambush and attacked the 100,000 middle army led by Liu Yu and Prince Yan!
When the 100,000 Youzhou army was about to arrive at Lone Bamboo City, 10,000 cavalrymen in ambush rushed out, and Guan Ning's iron cavalry galloped, shaking the ground!
Liaodong's fierce general commanded 10,000 cavalry to attack the central army, destroying the dead!
Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was caught off guard and was hit hard by 10,000 cavalry.
