Chapter 462
In a small col about fifty miles west of Liucheng, Zhang Xiu's more than 4,000 soldiers and horses were resting.
After receiving the flying pigeon transmission from the military master Fa Zheng yesterday, Zhang Xiu was thinking of a way.
Although Yang Ming's army of five thousand was thirty miles away from Liucheng, he constantly sent scouts to inquire about Liucheng. Once he sends out his troops, Yangming will find out.
In fact, Zhang Xiu did not put Yangming in his eyes, the combat power of the Hulun tribe was only medium among the Xiongnu, and his cavalry was one man and two horses. If they meet in the wilderness, Zhang Xiu believes that he can defeat Yangming.
But now, he can't entangle with Yangming, he must take Tongwancheng as quickly as possible and force Liu Bao to withdraw his army.
When the military master Fa Zheng gave him the book of flying pigeons, he mentioned the situation of Liu Bao attacking Maling with sand filling the city, and also used the four words "100,000 fire", Zhang Xiu could naturally think of it.
That night, Zhang Xiu quietly left Liucheng and made a fifty-mile detour to the west, avoiding Yangming's scouts.
"General, if we go around like this, we will have to walk more than a hundred miles, and we will reach Tongwan City, and the earliest will be tomorrow morning!" Hu Che'er seemed very dissatisfied with Zhang Xiu's arrangement, "If you follow me, go directly to the north, and destroy that coward of Yangming by the way!"
"Hu Che'er, it's true that Yangming is a coward, but if we fight him, can we reach Tongwan City tonight?" Zhang Xiu glared at Hu Che'er, "When will you be able to use your brain, even if we defeat Yangming, can we not waste time?" Can there be no losses? Can you still break through the city of Tongwan and let Liu Bao withdraw his troops? If there is an accident there, how many heads have you grown? "
This..." Zhang Xiu's few words made Hu Che'er immediately speechless, and at the same time, he also realized the seriousness of the problem. Their purpose is to solve the siege of Maling! "General, let's go quickly!"
"Hu Che'er, I will lead this thousand soldiers wearing Xiongnu armor to go first, and half an hour later, you will lead the rest of the army of more than 3,000 to set off!"
"General, why don't you go together?" Hu Che'er didn't understand.
"Let's go together?" Zhang Xiu glared at Hu Che'er again, "General Ben went to defraud the city, not to attack the city!" With you, will they open the city gates? You have to remember that there can be no delay on the road, and you must respond in time!
"Don't worry, the general, the last general remembered!"
Zhang Xiu thought of a strategy, not planning to storm, but pretending to be a Xiongnu soldier to open the city gate. Although there will not be many defenders of Tongwan City, Zhang Xiu does not have siege equipment!
A thousand soldiers dressed in Xiongnu armor, led by Zhang Xiu, galloped towards Tongwan City.
The terrain here is very familiar, and a thousand soldiers and horses spend the rest of their time marching day and night, except for a short rest while eating. At noon the next day, after crossing a hill, he saw the Xiongnu royal court ruling the city of Wancheng.
Of course, this royal court is only the left sage king Liu Bao, and the right sage king's lowly royal court is in Manchester City, north of Yin Mountain.
From a distance, the city gates were not closed, and the people of the Xiongnu went in and out, carrying some things on their shoulders, probably prey, furs, etc., and some also drove some cattle and sheep.
Above the head of the city, there were some soldiers, not many, and there was no tense atmosphere.
Since Tongwancheng became Liu Bao's royal court, he had never attacked by the Han army or other soldiers and horses, so the soldiers were naturally very relaxed, which made Zhang Xiu also breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xiu ordered the soldiers to rest for a while, then slowed down and slowly walked towards the city gate.
The Xiongnu soldiers guarding the city were indeed very careless, and Zhang Xiu did not come to the place of the city gate cave before a tooth general came forward to inquire.
"What do you do?"
"On the order of the great king, escort the grain and grass!"
"Escorting grain and grass?" The tooth general looked up at Zhang Xiu, "When the king left, didn't he bring enough grain and grass for half a month?" "
The king said escort will escort, you little tooth general, dare to question the king, how many heads do you have?" Zhang Xiu was furious after listening to the tooth general's words, and at the same time his murderous aura leaked out.
The name of the Northland Gun King was killed, not the false name of the wave. Zhang Xiu was angry, how could that tooth general bear it?
"The general is angry, the little one doesn't mean that!" The tooth general was frightened and hurriedly waved his hand behind him, "Quick, get out of the way!" "
The dozens of Xiongnu soldiers guarding the city gate quickly retreated to both sides.
"Into town!" Zhang Xiu waved his big gun, and the soldiers immediately entered the city.
After entering the city, Zhang Xiu asked the soldiers to stop, and a hundred soldiers surrounded the defenders at the city gate, and the rest quietly went towards the city tower.
"You..." The tooth general felt that the situation seemed wrong, although he was wearing the armor of a Hun soldier, but the breath on his body seemed to be different from theirs. And doesn't it mean escorting grain and grass? Why stop? He looked at Zhang Xiu carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, "You... You are not the soldiers and horses of the great king..."
"We are from the Hulun tribe!" Zhang Xiu didn't know how many soldiers and horses were in the city, and tried his best to delay time so that Hu Che'er could arrive in time.
"They are Han Army!" The tooth general suddenly shouted.
It turned out that Zhang Xiu was self-defeating, this tooth general was from the Hulun tribe before, and he was naturally familiar with the leader Yangming.
When Zhang Xiu saw that he was recognized, he immediately shook his hand, and the big gun pierced the tooth general's heart.
"Kill!" The Han soldiers shouted.
Dozens of Xiongnu soldiers near the city gate cave were all killed before they could react.
There were five hundred soldiers at the head of the city, and they were not guarded in the slightest. After hearing the shouts of the city's tooth generals, he was stunned all of a sudden.
Where did the Han army come from here! The great king is attacking Beidi County, and the Han army is probably about to be killed, how can it be possible to run to Tongwan City.
But immediately after the shouts of killing under the city, they woke up like a dream, not the Han army to kill, what else could there be?
However, just as they picked up their weapons, the Han army had already rushed up, rushing to the front, all holding crossbows in their hands.
These Xiongnu soldiers defending the city were naturally weaker in combat power than the Xiongnu cavalry, and before they could pick up their shields in a panic, they were shot by a large area of dense arrows.
The soldiers in the back saw that the front had turned into hedgehogs, and then they remembered to take the shield.
The crossbow arrows fired by the crossbow are fast and accurate. The Hun soldiers wanted to block it all, but they could only curl up and hide almost under their shields.
Another large group of Han soldiers rushed up, and when they saw this situation, they didn't say a word, brandished the Han knife in their hands, and slashed and killed.
The centurion of the Xiongnu soldiers had died in the chaos, they were first smothered by crossbows in hand, and now they were slashed and killed by Han knives, screaming and chaos.
After a while, the five hundred soldiers defending the city were killed by the Han army, and Zhang Xiu quickly took over the city tower.
