Chapter 867 It's Really a Bluff

Shhhhhhh...!

As soon as the words fell, a rain of arrows hit the sky from behind the shield formation, aiming directly at the Huns' army.

"what!"

In just a moment, there were screams one after another.

The rain of arrows poured directly above the Huns' army.

Soldiers with bad luck were shot dead on the spot, and those with better luck were also shot off their horses.

Of the countless arrows, none was wasted!

Fortunately, the three of Hu Chuquan stood relatively forward, and the rain of arrows passed over the heads of the three without affecting them.

However, the three of them were still scared and panicked.

Shhhhhhh...!

There was another sound of arrows, but this time the sharp arrows came from the dense forest.

"what!"

There was another scream, and most of the Xiongnu soldiers who had been ordered by Liu Bao to go around were shot to death, and those who survived escaped in a panic.

Seeing this, Qu Bei was furious, and glared at Liu Bao.

"King Zuo Xian, is this what you said to go around?"

Before Liu Bao could speak, the sound of arrows came from the direction of the shield again.

Shhhhhhh...

This was not over yet, and arrows began to shoot from the dense forests on both sides.

For a while, the Xiongnu army was shot and turned upside down, and there was a sudden chaos.

Seeing this situation, Hu Chuquan didn't have any courage to resist, so he immediately made a decision.

"withdraw!"

Without giving Liu Bao a chance to speak again, Hu Chuquan immediately fled to the rear with Qu Bei.

The attitude is concise and to the point, if you want to hit you, Liu Bao hit it yourself!

Liu Bao was furious when he saw this, and Hu Chuquan's move was bound to harm the entire Hun army.

"Trash, idiot!"

While cursing, Liu Bao tried his best to avoid the rain of arrows.

For some reason, the Yizhou army fired more and more arrows, faster and faster, overwhelming the Xiongnu army at all.

"kill…!"

At this moment, shouts of killing came from both sides at the same time, and the figures of countless Yizhou troops have emerged!

Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei started to flee with the army, and Liu Bao was alone and unable to support him. How could he make such a fearless sacrifice?

"withdraw!"

Liu Bao gave the order viciously, and then he didn't hesitate anymore, and started to flee to the rear with his subordinates.

The Huns' light cavalry relied on their famous stunts and finally played a role. The dense forest road is flat and easy to attack.

Whether it was the army led by Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei, or the trilogy of King Zuo Xian led by Liu Bao, the speed of escape was astonishingly fast.

After the Yizhou ambush arrived, the Huns had long since disappeared.

Boom boom boom...!

woo woo woo...!

The drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the sound became louder and louder, constantly echoing throughout the dense forest.

However, the Yizhou army that had come close had no intention of pursuing, but slowly approached the shield formation.

Behind the shield formation, Liu Zhang frowned, trying his best to listen to the movement outside.

It was not until the noise completely disappeared that the order was given to disarm the shield formation.

"My lord, all the Huns have withdrawn."

Hearing Xun You's words, Liu Zhang quickly looked outside.

It wasn't until he saw the smoke and dust in the distance with his own eyes that Liu Zhang was really relieved.

"It's okay, it's okay...Finally bluffed them!"

Speaking of this, Liu Zhang even wiped the sweat that had already covered his forehead!

"Hahaha, these idiots were bluffed by the lord's few words!"

Dian Wei laughed out loud, not as nervous as Liu Zhang.

Although he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, Dian Wei's eyes were enough to frighten countless Xiongnu soldiers.

Liu Zhang sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

"There is no other way, we can only resort to risky tactics..."

"It's a good thing that Shi Yuan always predicted the enemy first, and completely frightened the Huns!"

This time is really too dangerous, it can be said that Liu Zhang is completely fighting for his life!

Originally Liu Zhang was in Chang'an, but he suddenly received an urgent report from Wei Ke.

Liu Zhang did not expect that Hu Chuquan would lead 100,000 elite troops to the south, so he was caught off guard.

It must be too late to mobilize soldiers and horses, and there are almost no soldiers to adjust.

Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao were in charge of grain and grass in Wuguan.

Huang Zhong was sent to the ferry to receive the people of Hedong County.

The two battalions of Zhang Ren and Yan Yan had all dispersed long ago, and were appointed by Liu Zhang to the counties of Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng, and Jingzhaoyin.

Tai Shici, Pang De, and Ma Chao have led two battalions to Hedong.

Only Dian Wei and Gao Shun remained beside Liu Zhang, and Gao Shun was also responsible for guarding Chang'an.

The situation is extremely critical, Liu Zhang can only temporarily gather all the troops that can be mobilized.

Fortunately, before Huang Zhong left, he left four thousand martial arts camps in Chang'an City.

Otherwise, Dianwei and the Wuwei camp, which had been lost by more than half, would be all the parts that Liu Zhang could mobilize at the moment!

It's just that the total number of soldiers and horses in these two battalions did not exceed 10,000. Liu Zhang had no choice but to transfer another 2,000 soldiers to the camp.

A total of 10,500 people is Liu Zhang's entire force to support Hedong this time!

The general was even more miserable. There was only one person beside Liu Zhang, Dian Wei.

The situation is extremely critical, and it will take some time to rush from Chang'an City to Hedong County, especially since the 10,500 troops are all infantry.

It is completely impossible to rely on the Yellow River to go there by boat.

At present, there is an extreme shortage of ships for transporting people, and these fishing boats cannot be used as marches at all.

Almost the same day he received the call for help, Liu Zhang handed over Chang'an City to Gao Shun.

Then, with Xun You as the military adviser, he personally led the army to rescue Hedong.

Liu Zhang had to go in person for this battle, because no one could form a strong deterrent.

On the marching route, Liu Zhang and Xun You struggled for a long time.

The closest route is to go directly to the east of the river from Zuo Fengyi Ferry, but this indicates that there will be a battle with the Huns cavalry on the plain.

10,000 infantry fighting against 100,000 Huns light cavalry who are proficient in cavalry and archery?

No matter how arrogant Liu Zhang is, he would not give away his head like this.

The two are not capable of fighting at all, and they must be crushed when they meet.

Therefore, we can only rely on the terrain to forcibly drag the Huns into a place that is not conducive to the cavalry.

Fortunately, when Wei Qi asked for help, he sent someone to deliver a very detailed map of Hedong County.

After some research, Xun You decided to plan the Yellow River Ferry in Dayang City, relying on the dense forest as a favorable location.

Before Liu Zhang arrived at the Yellow River ferry, he received the good news from Wei Ke.

Pang Tong's ingenious calculation, the Yizhou army caused heavy losses to the Xiongnu army without bloodshed!

It writes in more detail how Pang Tong designed to entrap the Huns' army.

Liu Zhang was amazed again and again, and even Xun You was full of praise for Pang Tong.

The Xiongnu fell into the trap one after another, and Xun You decisively predicted that the Huns' army would come to Dayang Ferry to pursue them.

Because at that time Pang Tong received Liu Zhang's military order, asking him to lead the cavalry to escort the people westward to Hebei (a county in Hedong County).

Cross the river from Hebei to Hu County, and then from Hu County to Chang'an.

Everything was as Xun You expected, and the Xiongnu army really rushed to Dayang.

However, the battle was far from smooth as it seemed. It can only be said that luck was on Liu Zhang's side again.

As soon as the trapped camp had set up its position, the Huns' army arrived.

At this time, the Wushe Battalion and the Wubu Battalion were not all in place at all, and there were only shield formations trapped in the camp on the entire battlefield.

If the action of falling into the camp is half a step slower, Liu Zhang will hate the banks of the Yellow River!

After resisting the first attack of the Huns cavalry, Liu Zhang forcibly appeared to frighten the Huns army, providing time for the deployment of follow-up troops.

The only good news is that the word Liu Zhang has an unparalleled deterrent effect on aliens.
