Chapter 350: Heading to Hebei (Part 1)

In the second update, 4,000 soldiers from the Xiongnu Beiying gathered on the south bank of the Yellow River. General Wang Mi looked around calmly, while Cao Yi was thinking about something, but his face felt a little reluctant.

"Is this what you said?" Cao Yi pondered for a moment, and looked at Wang Mi in anger, and his eyes swept across the hundreds of Han army corpses.

Wang Mi laughed and said, "One time and another time, if you continue to move forward, you will suffer a great disaster. It is better to stop when you see it is better and protect your troops."

The Beiying sneak attacked Zhongyuan in this sneak attack, and two thousand of them were left on the ship by Wang Mi in order to prevent the opportunity to escape by those naval armies who were unwilling to fight. These naval armies were all Han people, and some of them were even just fishermen. It is reasonable to lose such naval armies, and it is normal for them to escape.

Once the navy was not supported, the soldiers and generals of the Northern Camp would have to die in the Central Plains. Cao Yi also knew this. But after landing, he ran for dozens of miles and killed so many hundreds of Han troops. Where could he have the face to return to Hebei to seek credit?

"Can't this Han army touch?" Cao Yi stared at the moving fire in the distance and said with some dissatisfaction.

Wang Mi drove his horse to Cao Yi and smiled and said, "If you think this Han army can be eaten, why ask me in such a tone?" Seeing that Cao Yi was not up to you, Wang Mi continued, "This direction is Puyang, and this army is definitely not the army left by Puyang, but must be the follow-up army in the Central Plains. If that is the case, how can you and I intercept it?"

Cao Yi sighed slightly when he heard this, but he still looked unwilling. You must know that the Han army ran to Hebei and Wang Mi chose to raid on Puyang, which was to deceive the Han army's remaining troops. However, looking at the approaching fire of the Han army, you should know that the troops were around four or five thousand. Even if the Han army left behind Puyang had this number, it would never come out in full swing when the situation was clear, especially when fighting at night.

Therefore, it was not only Wang Mi who inferred the origin of this Han army, but also had his own general idea. The Han people sent the troops along the coast to Hebei for battle first, and the troops in the rear were constantly supporting and aiding. The soldiers of the Beiying were always brave, and even if the number of enemies exceeded that of them, they would not be afraid. However, if the other party still had military support in the future, they would probably fall into the Central Plains...

Seeing that Cao Yi was still hesitating, Wang Mi's face changed and said in a deep voice: "The Central Plains are not completely unprepared, and it is useless to stay here. You and I still have a lot of opportunities to gallop across the battlefield. Why should we be greedy for a temporary achievement!!"

This sentence seemed to be enlightened, and immediately made Cao Yi's body shake and awake. He looked at Wang Mi with lingering fear and said, "Retreat!!"

The elite soldiers of the Northern Camp came quickly and walked slowly. There were already guides in the army who identified the direction and led the troops away. A quarter of an hour later, the fire at the distance still did not arrive, but in the night, a Han army came silently. The general was Jiang Cong, the grandson of Jiang Wei!

"Well? It's true that people from Hebei do good deeds. I don't know who they are... chasing!" Jiang Cong was secretly ordered to station near Puyang to protect Emperor Liu Chan. When he heard that there were swords and weapons in the east of Puyang, he led his troops to help.

The fire was just a trick of doubting the army. Jiang Cong intended to make thousands of infantry approach slowly with double torches in hand, and he led more than 700 cavalry to rush over the path. After searching along the way, he came here and was shocked to realize that the enemy had retreated, and he couldn't help but secretly complain.

He ran all the way and no longer concealed his whereabouts, Jiang Cong was still persistent in chasing and trying to catch up with the enemy. You should know that the Han Emperor Liu Chan was a secret in the country. If the enemy saw any clues, his guardianship responsibility would become a laughing stock, and the next Han army's combat plan would be seen by the Hu people!!

The Hu navy was broken and was not familiar with the boating. Therefore, the landing land on the docking site must be a nearby ferry. Jiang Cong made some judgment and led hundreds of cavalry to the nearby ferry, hoping to stop the enemy. Those who dared to attack the Central Plains in a fierce battle with the Hu naval combat capability were almost nothing!!

As the ferry approached, dozens of enemy ships were indeed on the side. Jiang Cong rushed forward with a tiger roar, slamming his horse and dancing his gun, but it was too late. The northern soldiers and generals all appeared on the stage, and the warships sailed far away, and they could not pursue them...

"What is this flag?" Jiang Cong stopped on the shore of the horse. Seeing that there were other flags in the fire on the boat, besides the broken flags of the Xiongnu navy, there were other flags. He could not help but narrow his eyes and understand the identity of the visitor.

Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty in Puyang City listened quietly to Jiang Cong’s reward with some fatigue. The civil and military officials present were all surprised when they heard this. Not to mention having the vision to choose to counterattack the Central Plains at this time, the courage to sail on the Yellow River alone was enough to make people amazed.

Admiration for the opponent will only make you more cautious in dealing with it. Fortunately, Jiang Cong guarded the outside world tightly and responded in time. Otherwise, if His Majesty’s whereabouts were leaked, it would greatly reduce the concealment of the Han Dynasty’s strategy.

"Yun Gong." Liu Chan said to Cao Zhi after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, I am here." Cao Zhiqiang was energetic and obeyed the orders. For the old man, it was a big blow to fight all night and lose his best friend. His ambition seemed to be gone in an instant when he was in his old age, and he was left with weak old age and exhaustion.

"Liu Cheqi will send the matter to Xuchang to start, and everything will be left to Ying Yuan and others. When I defeat Hu Yi, I will take Liu Yuanhai's head to worship Xiu Ran!" When he said this, Liu Chan burst into tears again, and his expression was overwhelming. When the ministers saw it, they hurried forward to comfort him. You must know that Liu Yin was old and exhausted and died in the battle formation, but how could His Majesty be young?

...

After five battles a day, the Hu cavalry was defeated like a mountain.

The general of Xiliang, Beigong Chun, led the elite iron-armored soldiers to advance towards Yecheng. The famous Huns general Liu Yao gathered the troops of various races to fight for five consecutive times, and lost more than 10,000 cavalry! The soldiers and horses of foreign races retreated in succession, but they were retreating under Yecheng.

The Western Liang iron armored soldiers under Beigong Chun were not only specially designed to restrain cavalry, but also the most suitable combat equipment among the Han army! Even the Imperial Guards and armor next to Emperor Liu Chan were inferior to him.

At first, the Hu people thought that the iron armored army was only more than 3,000, and they would definitely be able to break it after fighting for a long time. However, Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty had already looked at the situation outside the border. The Western Liang iron armored soldiers were prepared for any eventuality and had trained 7,000 people one after another! Now the seven thousand iron armored soldiers have arrived one after another, and are unyielding under the leadership of Beigong Chun, a powerful general in Xiliang. They face tens of thousands of iron cavalry and are brave enough to move forward!

The Han generals Guan Yi, Luo Shang and Cheng Xian led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to support each other, and then supported them. They cooperated closely with Beigong Chun and the 7,000 Xiliang soldiers. After a fierce battle, the songs of triumphant songs and songs were heard even after a day and night, and they had not stopped. At this moment, they were full of morale and fighting spirit!

In the camp under Xiliang City, Liu Yao looked around the generals of all races with a blue face. His father, Da Shanyu, Liu Yuan, led the main force of Yecheng to support his beloved son Liu He. The troops that could be mobilized near Yecheng were still quite considerable, but the soldiers of the Western Liang army of the Han army were very difficult to deal with.

It is difficult for Hu Qi's bow, crossbow, gun and spear to cause real effective damage to these Western Liang soldiers who can attack and defend. On the contrary, because they cannot break through the opponent's formation repeatedly, they will lose their troops and generals. In addition, the support of the Han army's infantry and cavalry, even if Liu Yao has always been famous for his wisdom, he will have no countermeasures at this moment.

Liu Zheng, the Hun general who stayed in Yecheng, also led his troops out of the city to help the battle at this time, but Liu Yao had no good plans. Liu Zheng was just a brave general in the army. How could he deal with it?

"The soldiers of Xiliang are extremely difficult. The urgent matters at the moment are really a humiliation for us!" Liu Yao slapped the table with his hand and shouted angrily.

The generals of all races looked bad after hearing this, and wanted to sweep away the Jin State in Hebei. Now they have suffered repeated setbacks just now. This is indeed a great humiliation for the warriors of all races. Moreover, behind them is Ye City, which is the capital where the Huns were preparing to establish the country. Now that the Great Shanyu is not here, if they lose all the city, they are afraid that everyone will not survive.

Even if you are lucky enough to die, do you still have the face to survive in the world?

Liu Zheng sat aside and leaned his forehead and said distressedly: "The frontal combat has not achieved much effect, and there are also people covering the flanking Han people. I didn't expect that the Han army would fight with all their might. It's really difficult!"

"Hmm?" Liu Yao couldn't help but curse nonsense, not wanting to catch the key with a sudden move!

"Yes!!" Liu Yao suddenly stood up and smiled, returning to his former style.

Everyone was surprised when they saw it, but seeing that Liu Yao was not crazy and stupid, Liu Zheng also stood up and said, "What's the solution for the general?"

Liu Yao nodded and said, "General, you just said something to me. The Han army is indeed difficult to deal with, but its military strength is limited. When you go deeper than Yecheng, the rear will inevitably be empty!"

"Oh? What does the general mean?" Liu Zheng was the best player in the Huns on the battlefield, but he knew nothing about this array of troops.

Liu Yao smiled and said, "I think the Han army will have to rest at this moment in the day of war, waiting for another battle in the future. If our army attacks at night, it will definitely be prepared. However, if we mobilize all the troops near the neighboring areas to break the food road behind them and attack the ferry, the Han army will inevitably be in chaos when they hear the news. At this time, the attack will surely win a complete victory!"

The generals of all races present were reluctant to defeat the Han army. Some thought it hurts, some thought it was sore, and some were upset. Now, when they heard Liu Yao’s proposal, they all stood up to agree and were extremely excited. Liu Yao was also happy when he saw it, and waved his arms to cheer everyone up and said, "I know everyone is tired, but when the troops retreated, we have no way to live. The Great Shanyu has not yet turned around and there is still a chance. This is the time when the three armies use their lives. You must not slack off!"

After hearing this, everyone agreed, not only did they say that they were defeated continuously, but they lost more than 10,000 cavalry. Such a great defeat was never before. Fortunately, the Great Shanyu Liu Yuan was not in Yecheng, otherwise everyone would have no chance to make meritorious contributions and redeem their sins at this time.

Liu Yao has now formulated a combat plan. Although everyone is tired, for the sake of their lives, they are gritting their teeth and fighting desperately, secretly making up their minds to win this battle!!

At nearly three o'clock, the Han army had already lost movement, and the iron-torn people had to rest at this moment, but the Hun tribes were not allowed to rest, and they allocated their own routes and tasks to start the action. Although Liu Yao was defeated continuously, his ambition was still there. Scouts had already been set up outside Yingpan to inspect the Han people in case of their movements.

The Han army had not responded for a long time. Obviously, the hard battles in Japan made the Han army unable to bear it, so they still focused on rest.

Without wanting to alert the snake, the Huns' soldiers and horses were mobilized secretly. Generals from all walks of life either detours or marched quietly, avoiding the Han army's garrison and cutting off the Han army's retreat. The Han army advanced to Yecheng, and the troops in the rear were insufficient. The retreat route, food route, and warships at the ferry were all targets that could be attacked.

Although the Xiongnu could not find a solution when fighting head-on, if the Han people could cut off the retreat of the Han people and disrupt the morale of the army, it would not be difficult to eat this Han army. You should know that if the soldiers of Xiliang fought alone, it would not be terrible. What was terrible was that thousands of people fought in a tight formation.

Once the situation is urgent, the Han army will naturally be unable to maintain its formation and inherent rhythm, but the Huns can use their strengths to make full use of their geographical advantages and cavalry speed. This is also a thought by Liu Yao designed. How can they meet Liu Yuan, the Great Shanyu, without eating this Han army?

The soldiers and horses of the foreign race were not careful about their tired bodies and galloped continuously. They occupied the favorable terrain and burped in an ambush after a busy night. Among them, Liu Zheng, the foreign race general, personally led nearly 10,000 infantry and cavalry to the bank of the Yellow River carefully. According to everyone's analysis, the Han army's materials, money and food must be transported through warships, and their materials naturally had to be piled up on the shore and then processed.

The sky was bright and the rising sun slowly rose in the east. The Huns soldiers and horses rushed to the shore with great enthusiasm, but saw the Han camp stretching out and the antlers everywhere, and countless Han soldiers set up camps along the coast, disregarding military strategies and contempt for the alien races, almost extreme!

Liu Zheng was a rough man, but he also knew that holding a camp was a taboo for military strategists. After looking carefully, he couldn't help but breathe a few breaths of air in his heart, and he felt timid in his heart. The Han army camp was full of swords and halberds, and soldiers were constantly patrolling, and it was obvious that there were a lot of troops.

The Yellow River water behind the camp pan is full of warships and flags are everywhere. If you attack the Han army camp at this time, not to mention that tens of thousands of crossbows are fired in the Han army camp, even the battleships' stone-tearing attack will make the alien cavalry suffer a lot. Such an arrangement cannot be said to be foolproof, but this state of momentum is shocking. It is hard to believe that the Han army can establish the camp pan so quickly overnight.

"General, look!!" The general who knew the Chinese characters suddenly shouted.

Liu Zhengshun's finger direction looked at the direction of his heart again. The banner of the Western Liang Protector Beigong Chun and Guan Yi and others. These Han generals had clearly advanced to the city of Yedu. How could they appear here again at this time? One of the Han troops in the two places must be fake, but if what they saw in front of him was true, the tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry under his command would not be attacking, but if they did not retreat at this time, they would probably suffer a great defeat...

"Retreat!" Liu Zheng shouted gritting his teeth, his heart full of anger.

When the news came back, Liu Yao couldn't help but besieged in secret. He quickly urged all the troops to besiege the Han army outside Yecheng. He didn't want all the troops to kill him but it was just an empty camp. It was not appropriate to say that it was an empty camp. The construction of this camp was just a framework.

The Han army chased here overnight, pretending to set up a camp and retreated overnight. Liu Yao's face turned red and was ashamed of the eyes of the generals of various races. However, the Han army had nearly two hours to rest at this time, but the foreign soldiers were running around for a night but only rested for a short time.

At this moment, it was obviously unwise to gather troops to rush to the shore, and the generals were extremely tired. Liu Yao sighed and could only arrange for the generals to rest, and dispatched the troops to garrison the key points to prepare for the Han army to come again...

The Han army's advance and retreat were moderate, so that even though Liu Yao had the strategy of facing the enemy, it could not be implemented. Obviously, the Han army also knew that although the continuous advancement seemed to be a triumphant song, the alien cavalry galloping in the land of Hebei was enough to cut off their return and defeat the Han army.

After laying down layers of defense, Liu Yao had no intention of relaxing. The Han army knew its weaknesses and had unstoppable combat power for continuous advancement. Once its subsequent troops were sufficient, it would inevitably come to Yecheng! But the Great Khan of the Huns went to the foothills near Huguan to support his beloved son Liu He before he could turn around, the important task of guarding Yecheng fell on Liu Yao's shoulders.

...

Liu He rushed his army to rescue the trapped Liu Cheng, but the Han army had already guarded the key points and made the troops of all races unable to attack. At this time, tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops came behind him, and it was the Xiongnu Grand Chanyu Liu Yuan who led elite soldiers and generals to come in person!

After telling the reason, Liu Yuan's face turned ugly. If he had commanded this battle, the Han army would have been defeated. It is normal for his adorable son Liu He to break through from the place of nine deaths. But as his successor, Liu He's intelligence and nature would stop there...

With a command, Liu He's troops retreated one after another and returned to the military formation to rest and reorganize. In Liu Yuan formation, Liu Bogen, the general of the Northern Camp, led thousands of soldiers from the Northern Camp, roared out, and hit the Han soldiers!

At this time, the Han army was also a tired soldier. Unexpectedly, Liu Bogen rushed to the scene like a tiger, facing swords and guns without fear! The soldiers of the Northern Camp were all high and fought desperately. For a moment, the Han army could not resist and began to retreat.

"Bergen is a brave and good general!" Liu Yuan returned to his usual expression and twisted his beard and looked around the generals.

Although the Han people in Beiying were loyal to the Huns, they also looked down upon them. Seeing Liu Yuan coming to praise the generals of Beiying in front of thousands of troops and horses, they asked for battle. The purpose was achieved, Liu Yuan naturally agreed, and the elite soldiers and generals of the Huns rushed forward one after another.

The Han army seemed to know that the new forces on this journey were hard to match, so they took the initiative to retreat and retreat into the foothills. When Liu Yuan saw this, he laughed loudly, and he actually commanded the entire army to enter without hesitation and chase him hard!

"The Great Shanyu may prevent fraud!" The strategist next to him quickly reminded Liu Yuan that this foothill is the most suitable place for ambushing. Liu He has suffered a great loss. Why is Liu Yuan so uneasy like me?

Liu Yuan laughed loudly and said, "The Han army has been exhausted for a long time and is vulnerable to the attack. I rushed with my sharp army. Even if there is an ambush, it would be fine!"

The bodies all over the mountains and the blood was almost formed by the river. The Han people quickly pushed the Huns and chased them, and before they knew it, they had already arrived in the mountains.

The Han army was suffering from long-distance combat. At this moment, the Huns were retreating without any scruples about the foothills where tens of thousands of people died, and they rushed towards them at a speed! For a moment, the Han army's suspicion of the plan of the soldiers was discovered by the other party, so they could only accelerate their escape.

However, the Huns' cavalry was extremely fast and the roads were running continuously. Even though the Han army seized the opportunity to withdraw, they were powerless to stop them. They were caught up by the Huns' generals!!

"Kill me!" Liu Bogen swung his big sword and a man broke the different parts of his body and head, roaring wildly!

The Han army was killed all the way and lost a lot of troops. When they saw the mountain pass at the other end, thousands of Han troops still had no time to withdraw. Suddenly, thousands of crossbows at the mountain pass fired arrows like rain! After a few rounds of bows and arrows, the Han army took the opportunity to flash out of most of the mountain pass, and hundreds of Han cavalry rushed in outside the mountain pass. The first one was the general of Shu Han, Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyue!
