Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 506 Take Gaodu and Kill Guanqiujian

Inside the Han army camp, Shen Chen was overlooking the entire battlefield from a high oar above a camp on the north side.

Now there is chaos outside the camp, and the sounds of fighting between the two sides can be heard endlessly.

However, the Han army had been prepared for a long time, so in fact, the soldiers retreated in an orderly manner, luring the enemy to go deep, and prepared to annihilate the Wei army who had entered the camp in one fell swoop.

On the side of the Huns, he did not relax his vigilance, but left about [-] reserve soldiers, ready to deal with the Huns.

In fact, he brought more than 2 people to the north, plus Zhao Yun's 4 troops, the total force was only about 6, which is not too much.

And some of them, more than 1 people, are still sleeping in the middle camp, because they are tired from attacking the city during the day, Shen Chen told these soldiers to rest when they should, and wait for the special horn to sound before fighting.

Counting the 1 people who went out to seize the city, the actual Han army currently fighting is only about 4 people, and the Wei army has dispatched more than 4 people. If the Huns see the Wei army's offensive like fire, they want to rebel again If so, the number of enemies is more than 7.

The huge difference in numbers looks like the Han army will fall into a disadvantage.

However, Shen Chen didn't think that the Wei army and the Huns were difficult to deal with. He didn't pay attention to a group of peasants who had just picked up weapons and the Huns who were poorly armed and had little fighting spirit.

In a frontal battle, I am afraid that at least three Wei armies or Huns can beat a Han army. The level of sophistication and actual combat training of the two sides are not at the same level at all.

So now Shen Chen is really luring the enemy to go deep, giving up the front battalions of all the troops to the Wei army, and waiting for the Wei army to rush into the trap, and then the whole army will attack.

Seeing that at least [-] Wei troops had entered the front battalion, Shen Chen was preparing to deploy according to the plan and started making dumplings for the Wei troops.

At this moment, the sound of thousands of galloping cavalry resounded in the night sky.

"what happened?"

Shen Chen suddenly trembled all over.

The direction of that voice was not from the Huns in the north at all, but from the direction of their own rear camp.

Just hearing the sound of horseshoes that can make the ground tremble, it is enough to judge that this is at least a cavalry force of more than 1 people.

Friend or foe?

There was only one thought in Shen Chen's mind.

As the main general on the western front, he had no idea that there was a cavalry force of more than [-] behind him.

Even if Yu Jin and others in the rear recruit soldiers from Xiliang and send them up after training, he will definitely get news from there.

When the local officials in Yizhou, Liangzhou reported to him last time, they said that the newly trained recruits in the rear would probably not be trained until the end of the year, and the cavalry units would not be ready until next year.

That means no teammates.

Could it be Sima Yi?

He came so fast!
In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Chen's mind, and then he gritted his teeth and said to his side: "Go, gather all the soldiers who are resting, and guard the rear camp."

Under such special circumstances, the Huns who followed the wind may not be reliable. Only by defending the rear camp first, and then repelling the Wei army in the front, the main force retreated to Gaodu County, and the tactical change could turn defeat into victory.

However, Zhao Yun, the general next to him, said: "Don't worry, the governor, these people may be our own people."

"My own?"

Shen Chen first showed a surprised expression, then turned his mind a little, and then said in surprise: "Kong Ming?"

"Yes."

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "The prime minister said at the beginning that the Huns are like weeds on the wall, and we can't rely on them all, so we need a surprise army, so we sent General Ma Chao from Nanyang."

"Good guy."

Shen Chen rolled his eyes at Zhao Yun: "I'm even keeping this from me?"

Zhao Yun said cheerfully: "The prime minister said he would surprise the governor. If they suddenly kill Sima Yi when he comes to help, wouldn't it be the right time?"

"It almost turned into a fright."

Shen Chen shook his head, Zhuge Liang's joke was too big, if he was worried that the cavalry of unknown origin was the enemy's own wrong order, then something serious would happen.

No wonder Zhao Yun followed him every step of the way tonight. It turned out that he was probably reminding himself because he was afraid that his command would make a mistake.

But since the reinforcements are here, there is nothing to be afraid of, Shen Chen ordered: "Let General Ma circle around and wipe out this Wei army for me, and then give orders to the Huns, if they don't act, they will die too! "

"only!"

Zhao Yun immediately dispersed and dispatched two full teams of messengers.

The first team consisted of 50 people. The scouts urged the horses to leave from the north and west gates of the middle camp to the north and rear of the Han army.

The road to the north quickly left the camp and galloped to the side of the Huns. The Huns were extremely nervous now. In the wilderness, under the moonlight and the light of the fire, [-] to [-] Huns cavalry slowly gathered together in the distance, like a group of Huns. It was crowded like a black cloud.

They looked anxiously at the camp where the Han army and the Wei army were fighting in the distance. The mounts under their crotches seemed to feel the mood of their masters, and they were quite irritable. All kinds of horse dung and horse smells were intertwined, making it stink in a radius of one or two square kilometers. Furious.

Liu Bao, Liu Xuan, Liu Qubei and other leaders of the Huns were located a little further ahead, watching the battle between the two sides from a distance on a small hillside. They were more concerned about the sound of thousands of horses galloping like thunder in the west.

The scouts of the Han army approached quickly, found Liu Bao and the others, and they were not polite. The captain in charge shouted: "Liu Bao, the governor said that if you don't act, the Huns will be wiped out!"

Hearing this, Liu Xuan raised his walking stick again, slammed Liu Bao hard, and angrily reprimanded in Hun language: "Luan Tibao, since you have decided to be loyal to the big man, you should be firm to the end. Big things are not decisive, do you want all the clansmen to die with you?"

With a stick down, Liu Bao finally woke up this time.

In fact, the top leaders of the Huns were also very vacillating. Liu Xuan was a staunch traitor to the Han, while Liu Bao and Liu Qubei were hesitant. After being taken away, some Xiongnu dignitaries who wanted to continue to vote for Wei were born.

But now anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the arrival of the Han army cavalry, the situation of the Wei army in Bingzhou is over. If they can't make up their minds, maybe the Han army will take care of them and the Huns.

Therefore, Liu Bao and Liu Qubei, the two virtuous kings of the Huns, and the highest rulers in power when Hu Chuquan was away, no longer hesitated.

At one command, they let out a special whistle.

The sound of the whistle spread quickly, one after another among the policies of the various Xiongnu tribes, and immediately there were a lot of screams.

"what are you doing!"

"Huns, you are looking for your own death!"

"what!"

The chaos was fleeting, and at least hundreds of Wei soldiers died in this wave of Huns' surprise attack.

These people are all Xiaowei and Sima among the Huns. The difference is that they are all Wei Jun. Since the Cao Cao period, the bottom soldiers of the Huns have been controlled by them.

But although they can control those soldiers and horses in name, in fact the Huns will still obey the orders of their tribal leaders.

Therefore, even if Cao Wei monitored the Huns in this way, it was only monitoring and could not be controlled.

At this moment, Liu Bao and others finally made up their minds and stopped swaying left and right.It's just that making up your mind now is obviously not a timely help, but an icing on the cake.

After the order was issued, Ma Chao's cavalry and the Huns' cavalry immediately began to outflank the Wei army in the east from the north and south at the same time.

The situation on the battlefield changed so fast. At this moment, Guanqiu Jian was still looking at the battlefield from his horseback. One second he was celebrating the joy of breaking the Han camp, and the next second he heard the horseshoes in the distance like the rolling waves of the sea. sound.

"what happened?"

Guanqiu Jian's expression changed drastically, he looked around and asked, "Why are there still voices of cavalry from the west?"

Liang Xi guarded the city, followed by his general Wang Xiu. He looked to the west, and the direction of the Han camp was now raging with flames. Countless Wei troops poured into the Han camp like ants, and there were still a large number of Wei troops attacking outside the camp.

Because he couldn't see the situation clearly from a distance, it was difficult for him to make a judgment, so he guessed: "Could it be that the Han army deliberately concentrated their horses as a way to scare us off?"

"It's not right, the Huns should rest and rest, why don't they attack?"

Guan Qiujian looked north again.

The Huns launched a night attack, broke through several camps of the Han army, and at the same time attracted the attention of a large number of Han troops, creating conditions for their attack. Now it is understandable to go there to rest because of the heavy losses.

However, the Wei army had broken through the front camp of the Han army, leaving only the middle camp and the rear camp. The Han army was clearly on the verge of collapse, and it was a critical moment of life and death.

If the Huns were smart, they should be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Why do they still stay where they are?
"We sent some people over to urge them to attack, but Liu Bao used the excuse that the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and needed to rest."

Wang Xiu hesitated and asked, "Do you want to send someone over?"

"no need."

Guanqiu Jian suddenly laughed, pointed to that side and said, "Look, they have started to move."

A large number of Huns quickly assembled under the call of the horn.

The moonlight fell on the earth, and in the silver light, the countless black shadows of the Huns began to urge the horses to gallop, like a black cloud that fell to the ground, trying to cover everything in front of them.

Their speed is very fast, it seems that they intend to get close to the right side of Wei Jun, and then support them.

But Guanqiu Jian's smile didn't last long, because he found that after approaching the right side of the Wei army, the Huns did not stop, but continued to charge.

"The Huns have rebelled again!"

Guan Qiujian's eyes widened. Before he could react, more than 3 Hun cavalry were like a sharp chisel, piercing through the Wei army from the flank.

The cavalry cannot rush into the frontal formation, but no matter in the Caesar period of ancient Rome, or the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, there were a large number of infantry fighting frontally.

It happened that Guanqiujian's Wei army attacked the Han army in the west from the east, and the Huns were in the north. When they made a surprise attack to the south, they happened to smash the right flank of the Wei army attacking from east to west.

For a while, the entire right wing of the Wei army was in chaos, and Guan Qiujian was in a hurry to send the reserve soldiers behind him to go around from the back of the battlefield to defeat the Huns.

But before he gave the order, there were all kinds of screams and fighting cries from the south left wing of Wei Jun at the same time.

Taking advantage of the firelight of the Han camp in the distance and the bright moonlight, Guan Qiujian turned his head and clearly saw another group of Han cavalry appeared at some point. The number was very large, at least [-] to [-]. Come.

The cavalry of the Han army also pierced through the left flank of the Wei army from the side. For a while, the entire Wei army's middle army and rear army had not entered the Han camp, and there was chaos.

Amidst the flames, a large number of Wei Jun who hadn't even touched the enemy turned their heads and fled.

"Run."

"Don't hit me, don't hit me, ah!!!"

"Don't step on it, don't step on it!"

"It's lost, it's lost."

All kinds of messy sounds filled the entire battlefield.

In fact, only a few thousand people were attacked on the northern and southern flanks.

Not many people, including the Huns and the cavalry of the Han army, fought directly with the Wei army. Only a few thousand people who charged at the forefront fought with the Wei army.

But at this time, the weaknesses of the Wei army's insufficient training, low quality of soldiers, and not elite troops were fully exposed.

It's okay to fight with the wind, but once encountered such an unexpected situation, the army was immediately defeated. Many Wei soldiers didn't even see the enemy's shadow, only heard the chaos ahead, and instinctively turned their heads and ran away.

Even though the officers of the Wei Army kept shouting and yelling, they were completely powerless to resist the roaring enemy's devastation and our army's rollback, and they were soon defeated.

Just at this time, Shen Chen's ambushes in the rear were exhausted, and the mountains and plains were full of Han troops in all directions, and the Wei army who had entered the front camp came to catch the turtle.

At this time, all the Wei troops in the Han camp became at a loss.

The reinforcements behind them were cut off by the Huns and the cavalry of the Han army, and they all fled. In front of them was the Han army who was roaring and tsunami. In the midst of the flames, countless Wei troops fled in a panic, and the whole battlefield became a mess.

"Ming Jin, hurry up, return to the city."

Guanqiu Jian still has some ability, looking at the situation in front of him, he is very anxious, but he understands that the general trend is over now, these Wei troops themselves are not elite, and it is impossible to organize again when they are defeated.

The only possibility now is to retreat back to the city immediately. After Sima Yi's reinforcements arrive, there is still the possibility of turning defeat into victory, or sticking to Bingzhou.

For a moment, the sound of "Dangdang Dangdang Dangdang" resounded throughout the battlefield. Wei Jun was running away, but now he ran faster.

Armors, weapons, and banners were thrown on the side of the road, and there were fallen comrades and comrades running desperately everywhere. Many people panicked and rushed everywhere, and countless Wei soldiers fell and trampled to death.

Guanqiu Jian has been supervising the battle from behind, and he ran the fastest on horseback, he was almost the first one to run to the foot of Gaodu County, and shouted to the above: "Quickly open the city gate!"

"it is good!"

There was a response from above, and then a young general in his thirties showed his head, smiled brightly at the bottom, and then, under Wuqiu Jian's horrified eyes, he bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot at him suddenly!
"Pfft!"

Guanqiu Jian happened to look back at the situation of the chasing soldiers, and when he turned his head again, he only saw the sharp arrows. For a moment, he only had time to make an expression of horror and astonishment, and the arrow shot into his chest like a shooting star. chest.

"boom!"

The Lord will fall heavily from his horse to the earth.

Then there were thousands of Han soldiers on the top of the west gate of Gaodu County, and arrows fell like raindrops.
