Chapter 449
Chapter 449
For three consecutive days, Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian king, stood still outside the city and did not attack the city. First, because he had no siege equipment for the time being, he did not think of a way to attack the city, and secondly, he had to find the cavalry of the Han army, eliminate it, and solve his worries.
"Chief..." He Hetie rushed into Liu Bao's tent, looking very excited, "Chief, that Han army cavalry has been found!"
"Found it!" Liu Bao stood up at once and hurriedly asked, "Where are they?" How many soldiers and horses? Who is the commander of the army?
"They are stationed in Liucheng, five thousand soldiers and horses, and the general of the army is Zhang Xiu!"
"Willow City? There are only five thousand soldiers and horses, Zhang Xiu..." After Liu Bao listened, the expression on his face changed a few times, but it was more angry.
Five thousand soldiers and horses, stationed in Liucheng, a hundred miles away, dared to rob his camp of 100,000 troops, and the Han army was really arrogant enough. Moreover, this is a contempt for his Zuo Xian King, and even humiliation!
Although Zhang Xiu was known as the King of the Northern Gun, Liu Bao did not put him in his eyes. The Han people have generals, except for the flying general Lü Bu of that year, everything else is not worth mentioning.
"Is that true?" Liu Bao asked again.
"The subordinate guarantees the head of the item, which is absolutely true!" He Hetie said resolutely.
"Come, beat the drums and gather the generals!"
"Yes!"
"Boom..." the drums of the gathering generals in the Hun marshal's tent sounded.
After a while, dozens of generals, tribal leaders, and others all arrived at the marshal's tent.
After Liu Bao told everyone the news that the Han army's 5,000 cavalry was stationed in Liucheng, the crowd was suddenly excited.
Liucheng is remote, just a small city, the city wall is low and dilapidated, easy to attack and difficult to defend. Moreover, the Han army only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, even if the commander is Zhang Xiu, the gun king of the Northland, what is he afraid of? Therefore, this is definitely a good opportunity to make a contribution, and everyone is vying to go.
There was a lot of quarrel in the shuai tent, and in the end, it could only be determined by Liu Bao.
"Sha Qianli, the leader of the Kunshan tribe, and Yang Ming, the leader of the Hulun tribe, order the two of you to lead your own troops and horses to surround Liucheng from the east and west, and be sure to annihilate Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses in the city!"
"Order!"
Sha Qianli and Yang Ming were very loud, and after taking the Ling arrow, they looked at the others proudly.
There were 5,000 soldiers and horses under each of them, a total of 10,000, and Zhang Xiu's 5,000 Han troops were not taken seriously by them at all.
Half an hour later, Sha Qianli and Yangming led their troops in two separate ways and headed for Liucheng.
In a small valley about fifty miles from Maling, Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu each led 5,000 soldiers and ambushed on the mountain bales on both sides.
The mountain is not steep, the terrain is gentle, and even the cavalry can rush up. That is, the place is not conducive to an ambush.
But Northland County had no better terrain for ambushes.
However, the Han army was ready.
After receiving the flying pigeon transmission from the lord Liu Jun, Hao Zhao, Su Ze, Jiang Xu, and Yang Fu were all excited, especially the lord's sixteen-character tactics, which made their eyes shine, isn't this a good way to deal with the Xiongnu?
The news that Zhang Xiu was stationed in Liucheng, Liu Bao would soon know, so they arrived here yesterday.
Yiqu and Fuping were garrisoned by 5,000 soldiers led by Su Ze and Yang Fu respectively, and Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu set up ambushes here.
The road in the valley was blocked by stones and rolling logs, and many places leading to the mountain pack were dug pits.
In addition to rolling wood thunder stones, the Han soldiers on the mountain bag also had flying thunder and crossbows in their hands.
Not long after the Xiongnu soldiers left the camp, Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu received the news.
"The Lord's flying pigeon book is really good!" After Hao Zhao read the news sent by the Skynet Camp, he was amazed, it was like fighting with a blind man and taking advantage of it!
The Xiongnu soldiers divided into two ways, and to their side came Sha Qianli of the Kunshan tribe. Since it collided, it can only be considered Sha Qianli's bad luck. However, Yang Ming's luck will not be too good, and Zhang Xiu is naturally waiting for him.
More than half an hour later, there was smoke and dust in the distance, horses' hooves bursting, and the Xiongnu's army rolled in.
Hao Zhao, Jiang Xu, and the 10,000 Han soldiers were also a little nervous in their excitement. Fighting with the Hun iron horse, this is the first time.
The Hun cavalry rushed into the small valley and found that the road ahead was blocked by stones, and the front team stopped.
The rear team immediately rushed over, looking a little chaotic.
"Why stop marching?" Sha Qianli asked loudly.
"Chief, look—" said a toothed general, pointing to the stones and rolling logs.
"Muto, you immediately bring some people and remove the stones!"
"Yes!" The tooth general rolled over and dismounted, and took a dozen men over to prepare to move the stones.
At this moment, I saw dozens of "small stones" flying down from the mountain bags on both sides.
"What's that?" Sha Qianli was taken aback.
Although Zhang Xiu used flying thunder when he attacked the camp, these Xiongnu soldiers had never seen it!
I have never seen it, naturally I don't know the power of flying thunder, these Xiongnu soldiers, just puzzled, puzzled, but not frightened, waving their weapons to block, and even some soldiers even use their hands to grab.
The next moment, however, they regretted it. No, they simply don't have a chance to regret it.
Continuous deafening explosions sounded, and the soldiers who came into contact with the flying thunder were blown up to pieces, and those who grabbed the flying thunder with their hands had turned into a pile of flesh and blood.
A little farther away, some only half of the head remained, some arms and legs flew into the air, and some only half of the body. Many of the horses fell to the ground, dead or alive, mutilated.
Those who were far away, although they were not really injured, were stunned by the huge explosion and made a mess.
"Drop the arrow!" Jiang Xu and Hao Zhao gave orders almost at the same time.
Countless crossbow arrows shot at the chaotic Xiongnu soldiers, and in an instant, they screamed and screamed, and the people turned on their backs.
"Boss beware!" Sha Qianli, who was in a daze, was suddenly awakened by a tooth general, and at the same time a dozen guards raised their shields, but dozens of guards were killed by crossbow arrows.
"Damn Han Jun, dare to ambush me!" Sha Qianli broke out in a cold sweat, and at the same time sobered up. "Rush up for me and kill the Han army!"
"Kill!"
On both sides of the valley was just a small dirt slope, and the war horses could completely rush up, and the Hun soldiers urged the horses to rush upward.
But just after rushing a few steps, the horse's hooves suddenly fell into the pit. These pits were not deep, but after the horse's hooves sank, the horse's legs suddenly folded, throwing the soldier on horseback out.
The war horses behind rushed up, could not stop, and also fell all at once.
Immediately afterwards, countless rolling thunder stones fell from the hillside.
"Ah..." With a scream, the Hun soldiers who rushed in front turned into meatloaf even with their horses.
"Kill!" The Han soldiers on the mountain bag rushed down under the leadership of Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu.
The infantry rushed to the cavalry, where have these Hun soldiers seen it! In the past, as long as they rushed to kill, the Han army either fled, or knelt down and begged for mercy, leaving them to slaughter.
But this Han army dared to do so, because they had something to rely on. Dozens of flying thunders were thrown over, and the Xiongnu soldiers woke up like a dream, and before they heard the explosion, they were frightened and scattered in all directions.
