The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The Huns camp is set up in Dingxiang City for more than ten miles away. Except for a few inspected soldiers, the rest are all resting. There are not many Jin soldiers in Dingxiang City and dare not attack, but there are not many Xiongs under Zhao Ran and Yan Guide, so they naturally have to stay away before they can rest.

Zhao Ran was lying in the camp and was about to fall asleep, but what he couldn't get away with was the sarcastic remarks of the Jin general Le Guang before his death. As a general in the army, he was so looked down upon by the Jin people, which was really angering. At present, all forces under the command of Liu Yuan of the Great Shanyu were gathered, with talents, and if he wanted to make a name for himself, he would definitely make great contributions.

It is rare to get the opportunity to fight among the various forces, and it is even more difficult to get the opportunity to make contributions when fighting outside. Such opportunities are not common. Killing Le Guang is a missed one. If you can't grasp this opportunity to attack Dingxiangcheng, even if Liu Qin likes him, he may not be able to favor himself anymore.

After tossing and turning, it was just when I couldn't sleep. Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums outside the camp sounded loudly! Zhao Ran stood up and sat up quickly, walked out of the camp gate and looked out of the camp in surprise.

But seeing the Hun soldiers running out of the camp one after another, many armors were not enough to wear, they panic and hurried to lead their war horses. In the chaos, Yan Guide came and saw Zhao Ran said, "The Jin army outside the camp challenged, the general can go out of the camp to fight quickly!"

"What? The people of Jin are so bold!? Take my armor quickly!" Zhao Ran was furious when she heard this, but she felt a little calm. Fortunately, the other party was not robbing the camp, otherwise such chaos would have caught the Hun cavalry off guard.

More than a thousand Xiongnu cavalry were slapped on horseback and rushed out of the camp gate. They all had anger on their faces and were caught off guard. They didn't want to get close to each other and saw where the Jin army was lined up the front. At this time, they were just empty-handed flags. More than ten sheep tied to the war drum were tied tightly. Once they struggled, they would beat the war drum...

"The people of Jin retreated not far away, chase!" Zhao Ran's face became even more ugly and he waved his hand and wanted to chase him.

Yan Guide shook his head slightly and reached out to stop him, saying, "Dingxiang has limited troops. This move is either ambush or intentionally harassing him. Even if the general chases him, it will be useless."

Zhao Ran said unhappily: "The people of Jin are so arrogant. If they don't kill the chicken to warn the monkey, how can they sleep peacefully! Let's talk about it when the general chases for a while!"

After saying that, Zhao Ran ignored Yan Guide's stop and led more than a thousand cavalry toward Dingxiang City under the night, like a whirlwind. Yan Guide's face darkened and cursed in his heart, leading the remaining troops back to the camp, and dispatched scouts to inquire about the movements from all directions.

About half an hour, Zhao Ran returned to the camp with a dirt look. Seeing Yan Guide's expression that was indeed what I was guessing, he couldn't help but look down.

Yan Guidedao: "How many Jin troops will the general kill here?"

Zhao Ran blushed and muttered: "The people of Jin are cunning and cannot be found everywhere. It's really hateful! When General Liu sends infantry to come, I will definitely trample this city!!"

Yan Qide smiled and said, "The Jin people tried to disturb our rest. Don't worry about these tricks. I have assigned soldiers to patrol the night. I think the Jin people will not use the same trick again, so the general will just sit back and rest assured."

Seeing that Yan Guide did not sarcastically, Zhao Ran said in his heart a little calmly: "Since this is the case, General Yan will work hard. I will go to rest now."

This night was finally over. On the second day, Zhao Ran was angry when he remembered what happened last night. He immediately swept more than a thousand cavalry around Dingxiang City for several weeks, cursing the Jin army in the city.

The Jin garrison Huan Xuan had already prepared countless people, especially the city rogues shouted loudly on the top of the city. Zhao Ran ordered the soldiers under his command to yell in Chinese, but it was just a few words to go over and over. The knights under his command were not very familiar with Chinese, so it was difficult to speak out if they curse too much.

But the Jin army on the city was all Han people, especially the rogues in the city cursing, which was a common thing. Not only were the loud voices but also had various tricks. The Huns could only understand it at all, but they knew it was not good things to see the laughing attitude of the Han people on the city.

Unfortunately, he couldn't resist the words in Chinese, and he was unable to resist. The angry Huns retorted in their own language, but the Han people simply couldn't understand them. For a moment, the two sides were verbally quarreled, and the Huns' cavalry retreated in a bad mood...

One day, the situation passed like this again. It would take nearly a day to send news from Dingxiang to Jiuyuan. If infantry and siege equipment were sent, it would probably take more than two days. Now, just one day passed, Zhao Ran was already restless and very impatient.

They were all peaceful that night. The next day, Zhao Ran was too lazy to go to Dingxiang City to get angry. The Huns patrolled around Dingxiang City for a few times before turning back to Yingpan. It was a foregone conclusion that the Jin army in the city did not dare to leave the city. After investigations from all directions, there was no sign of reinforcements.

As long as I waited for a few days, I thought that the credit was still my own. Whenever I thought of this, the anger in Zhao Ran's heart faded a little.

On the third night, it was the day that Huan Xuan and Zu Ti agreed. Huan Xuan left three or four hundred old and weak soldiers to guard the city, and led 2,300 Jin soldiers to fall quietly from the top of the city, and they all acted in their own way. Although Huan Xuan had no news about Zu Ti in these days, with Zu Ti's personality, even if the matter failed, he would not fail!

The Jin army quietly touched the Xiongnu camp, and dozens of scouts visited the Xiongnu camp around the Xiongnu camp. Everyone in the Jin army deliberately hid their whereabouts and approached quietly, but the sound of the Xiongnu knights galloping at night made people hear it clearly from a distance, which was very easy to find a target.

Yan Guide was a very wise guy, but his Xiongnu knights were used to patrolling the night, and they didn't care about it for the time being.

The bow, arrow, crossbow, arrow, spear, and big sword were unceremonious to greet the scouts of the Huns. No matter how clever you are, you will always be hit if you can't dodge this or that. Soon, the scouts on the periphery were completely removed, and the Jin army accelerated their pace to surround the Huns camp.

The Huns were not vegetarians. When they heard the movements outside were not good, the camp became alert. Zhao Ran and Yan Guide sent cavalry out to investigate the situation with skepticism, but they still didn't believe that the Jin army had the courage to use their skills again. However, as soon as the knight left the gate of the camp, a fire ignited from the forest not far from the camp!!

The fire rose into the sky, and countless thick smoke rolled towards the Xiongnu camp. Although there were many fires, they were all lit in the direction of the upper wind. The thick smoke blew towards the Xiongnu camp along the night wind. This was also one of Zu Ti's plans. With the thick smoke, there were countless rockets. Although they could not shoot deep in the camp, it was enough to shoot to the outside of the camp.

There is a fire in a place where fires are more and more convenient. No matter how strong your camp is, you are always afraid of fire.

Zhao Ran was shocked and angry when suddenly being attacked by the Jin army. Yan Qide was even more suspicious of how the Jin army was so bold. Seeing that Yan Qide had no intention of stopping him, Zhao Ran personally led more than a thousand cavalry to open the camp gate and rush to the place where the fire light!

Huan Xuan held a big knife and directed his men and horses to continuously shoot arrows to stop the conflict between the Huns' Iron Cavalry. At the same time, more than a hundred Jin troops held palm fans and wanted to fan the thick smoke in the wind. The Huns' Iron Cavalry could not see how many enemies there were behind the thick smoke, but felt countless arrows shot.

He was even more distressed when he rushed forward with his horse. He didn't know what objects the Jin army had added to the fire. The thick smoke was not only strong, but also choked people's mouth and nose to breathe. Even people couldn't bear it, and the war horse under his crotch was unwilling to go to the place where the smoke was strong.

As the speed slowed down, the losses suffered increased. Zhao Ran covered his mouth and nose with one hand and was furious, but he couldn't get over the conflict and he was hesitant for a moment.

The Huns' cavalry in the camp were ready to be put on horseback at this time. Yan Guide distributed hundreds of cavalry to protect the money and grain, and the rest were ready to go out to attack the Jin army to relieve the threat of fire attack. Just now, the shouts of killing suddenly started, and the shouts of the Huns' cavalry where the food was stored behind the camp were extremely harsh!!

"No! I've been attacked by the Jin people! Come back quickly!" Yan Guide, who had just rushed out of the camp, raised his horse and patted his forehead to wake up. He fell into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

The Jin people harassed and angered the Huns from many sources, but in order to raid the rear of the camp!

When he arrived behind the camp, he saw corpses everywhere, and the ownerless war horses were scattered around. Countless Han people were holding big swords and spears, and some even rode the Huns' war horses and burning the Huns' money, grain and supplies everywhere! Yan Guide's eyelids twitched and shouted angrily: "Kill me!!"

With a shout, killing more than a thousand Huns, the iron cavalry roared and rushed forward! Seeing that the baggage in the army was burning, Yan Guide was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. At this moment, an arrow actually emerged from the crowd, in the face of Yan Guide!

"Ah!!" With a scream, Yan Gide was shot by the arrow and knocked down his horse, and swallowed his breath neatly.

At the same time, countless Jin army generals rushed out of the unlit Xiongnu camp, and their swords and guns were in their hands to greet the horse legs of the Huns' iron cavalry. The leader was Zu Ge, the general of Jin State!

The master general died and was suddenly ambushed. The sudden change made the Huns' cavalry, who had always been thunderous, at a loss. The screams of war horses kept ringing, and the Jin army only targeted the war horses and did not target the horse knights. Poor fire and the confusing and complex situation in the camp made the Huns' knights unable to organize effective resistance, and everyone rode their horses around.

But there are either a fire or a general from Jin family. How easy is it to find a way out?

Zu Ti held a long bow in his hand, and the arrows in the archer in his waist were rapidly decreasing. There were countless Hun cavalry around him who fell off the horse, and everyone avoided it. He was fierce and fierce and rushed to the horse, and some even pulled the bow and shot. However, the Han people rushing around handed over the big swords and spears in their hands. Three or five people culled to one horse without any mercy and had no chance to fight back.

Seeing the Huns' iron cavalry running around with their heads in their arms, the Han people present at Zu Ti's order changed drastically! From the initial killing of people, killing horses to directly killing the knights on the war horses!

At that time, Cao Wei occupied seven-tenths of the world, and the iron cavalry was famous all over the world and the Jiangdong Navy dominated the water and land. How many? Since the gradual rise of the Han Dynasty and the years of war, the supply of war horses in Cao Wei gradually became in short supply. When the two states of Yongliang fell, the supply of war horses was even more dependent on Hebei.

The war has been ongoing for nearly ten years, coupled with the chaos of foreign races in the middle, the current cavalry of Jin State has been reduced sharply, and war horses are one of the most precious military resources. If the number of war horses has decreased sharply, the Jin army would not have to adopt this passive defensive and fear of fighting with the allied forces outside the Frontier.

Because once the only Jin cavalry suffers losses, it is impossible to make up for the current number.

Previously, chopping and killing horse legs was necessary to defeat the Huns' Iron Cavalry. You should know that even if you lose the general who takes the lead, these more than a thousand Huns' Iron Cavalry will definitely not be able to resist the more than a thousand people in Zuti's hands, and even if you have twice the strength, you will not be a match for the Huns.

The remnant power of shooting the opponent's main general disrupted the opponent's deployment completely made the Huns feel heartbroken. Only by achieving this goal can one feel at ease to shoot the panicked Hun cavalry and seize their war horses.

With a huge fire in the camp, Zhao Ran, the general of the Huns outside the camp, couldn't help but panic. Before he could figure out the reality of the Jin army opposite, his nest was taken away by someone. How could Yan Guide and more than a thousand cavalry still in the camp?

Could it be that the Jin State sent reinforcements, otherwise some Jin people in the city would have the courage to fight?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ran couldn't help but startled and shouted suddenly, taking more than a thousand iron cavalry, he didn't dare to continue fighting!

In the battle of Dingxiang, he killed five or six hundred Xiongnu and captured more than 200 horses, which was a great victory. However, the more than 1,000 people brought by Zuti lost six or seven hundred people, and the Jin army under Huan Xuan also suffered more than 300 injuries. Even if he had the advantage, the gap between the Huns' Iron Cavalry and the Jin infantry in a panic was still astonishing.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Huan Xuan, Zu Ti and others returned to the city and couldn't help but sigh: "This victory was a lucky chance. If Liu Ran persisted for a while, he would definitely be able to understand the reality of you and me!"

Zu Ti also nodded with a serious face and said, "This is my fault. I never expected that the Huns were so fierce. This situation still had such terrifying lethality, which caused us to lose our troops and generals... Alas!"

Seeing Zu Ti being quite guilty, Huan Xuan comforted him: "Shizhi, you are the first time you fight with the barbarians. You have no experience before, so it is not easy to win, and it is natural to have some damage."

Zu Ti shook his head slightly and said, "I have few soldiers in Dingxiang City. I finally brought more than a thousand people to help the battle, but now I have lost nearly a thousand people. This battle angered the Huns. They will definitely make a comeback. Let's make a decision."

Huan Xuan said with a similar feeling: "Zhao Ran was stationed near the troops before, and he should have been waiting for reinforcements. I believe that the Huns will arrive soon."

Dealing with more than 2,000 Hun knights has already caused Dingxiang City to suffer 800 damage. If the Hun army attacked the city, how could Dingxiang's troops withstand the consumption?

"Oh? Lord Huan confirmed that Zhao Ran was waiting for reinforcements?" Zu Ti said in front of his eyes when he heard this.

Huan Xuan recalled a little, "It should be like this in my judgment, otherwise it would be unprofitable for Zhao Ran to station in Zuojin with cavalry. Moreover, during the war of swearing, the Huns also had such verbal confusions, so I think it would be correct."

Zu Ti slapped the table and said, "Since that's the case, when you are ready to fight quickly, there is no need to worry too much about this battle."

Huan Xuan was also a smart man who woke up and realized when he heard this: "Zhao Ran's iron cavalry came to attack but failed. When he went to ask troops to attack the city, he must be infantrymen. This calculation is simpler."

Zu Ti smiled and said, "We must also calculate the cavalry that followed Zhao Ran to retreat. This time, Zhao Ran will definitely fail again. In this case, the Xiongnu in Jiuyuan dare not easily divide their troops and harass me."

Huan Xuan said: "Is it possible that Shi Zhi has a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zu Ti nodded and said, "Even though the barbarians are cunning, they are rarely a good idea. This time, Mr. Huan is careful to guard the city and deal with it carefully. Zu Ti's re-used tricks should make Zhao Ran hate this!"

The Dingxiang Jin army was planning a battle in a intensive manner. The Hun Zhao Ran was defeated and fled for no reason. He ran for dozens of miles in one breath and was already bright. Looking back at the thousands of cavalry beside him, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and immediately ordered people to search for the defeated army to find out the news.

However, after a long time, I met reinforcements from Jiuyuan all the way. The leader was Liu Tong, another general under Liu Qin!

"This general was ordered to bring 4,000 troops to help the war. General Zhao was not under Dingxiang City, so why is he here?" Liu Tong was a general in the Liu Qin clan. In the past, he had a superior position in the military. Of course, he was not a superior system, but just because Liu Tong gave people the feeling.

Zhao Ran was already unhappy when he saw that the person came, and he had some idea of ​​Liu Qin's meaning. He said that the fat water would not flow to outsiders' fields. It would be easy to say if he could break through Dingxiang City. If he was powerless, the credit for the attack would be Liu Tong.

Zhao Ran has always been a hatred for the person who is robbing the merits, but now he is defeated and wants to avenge his shame, he has to rely on Liu Tong.

"General Liu, you came just right. I mistakenly fell into the Han people's plan. After retreating, it's really..." Zhao Ran opened his mouth in front of Liu Tong and lowered half apart. At this time, he looked a little ashamed, which was not entirely artificial. In fact, Zhao Ran was not stupid either. When he saw that he had more than a thousand knights, he knew that most of the Jin army last night had been using fraud.

It was really because the reinforcements of the Jin State arrived. Even if the cavalry under his command were used, they would not follow him in such a complete manner. It must be because the Jin army was not strong enough to attack him, so they scared him away and then stopped him. I just didn't know where Yan Gengde had gone, and there was no news yet.

Seeing this, Liu Tong felt relieved, but said, "The general sent me to help you. I didn't expect you to be defeated and fled. It was heard in the general's ears. Don't you want to survive!"

Zhao Ran smiled bitterly and said, "I have no choice but to be defeated by the Han people. Now I only hope that the general can defeat Dingxiang, and help me to seek some meager credit and atone for the sake of the merits. I dare not fight against the general for the first merit of destroying the city."

He said this, but he cursed Liu Tong's ancestors in his heart. This defeat was indeed a crime, but he would not die. Liu Tong's words were nothing more than to increase the weight, but if he contradicted him and was slandered by him for his crime of defeat, he would probably not be surprised if he had finished his life.

Liu Tong couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhao Ran's pitiful appearance. Zhao Ran was not a member of the Liu Qin clan, but Liu Qin loved it deeply. The credit for killing Le Guang and the opportunity to attack Dingxiang were given to this person rather than himself. He had already felt angry.
