Meng Tian was in charge of the heavy cavalry, and he immediately brought them to Bai Zhong. There were 20,000 people in total.

There was also a group of light cavalry, also numbering 20,000, following the heavy cavalry. Qin Qing was very efficient and indeed brought back enough Hequ horses to form the heavy cavalry.

Meng Tian briefly explained the situation, and then said: "The heavy cavalry has just been formed and has not received much training before being ordered to go out. Maybe the tacit understanding and strength are not up to the general's expectations."

Bai Zhong said: "There are still a few months before the ice and snow melt. It is enough to train. Ice and snow are not the conditions to stop training."

"I see!"

Meng Tian nodded.

The heavy cavalry was quickly taken down by him and began training immediately without rest.

Li Xin stepped forward, bowed and said: "General, I let you down when I destroyed Chu. I will never make another mistake this time!"

"I trust you."

Bai Zhong did not care about what happened before, and said again: "The king also believed in your ability, so he transferred you from Xiaoguan in advance. If you are successful this time, you can offset your previous mistakes."

"Okay, you guys came all the way, go and rest first."

There is no need to fight for the time being, we can only train troops and prepare for war, waiting for the Huns to go south again.

They all know that the Huns will not give up after so many people have died. They will definitely attack Yanmen Pass again during the melting season of ice and snow. That is the opportunity to make achievements. Before then, they must train well and recharge their batteries.

——

Yang Duanhe only used 50,000 men to block the attack of 200,000 Qi troops at the junction of Qin and Qi in Liaocheng, west of Boling, and immediately shocked the entire Qi State.

As Bai Zhong said, the Qi army has no murderous intention. No matter how sharp the front is and how many troops there are, it will still be vulnerable to a single blow.

He fought with the Qi army four times.

Four times, the Qi army attacked and the Qin army defended. They held all the troops with little loss, but killed more than 50,000 enemies. The Qi army was so frightened that they did not dare to launch a fifth attack.

Yang Duanhe's confidence is high. He can defeat more with less. In fact, he can do it, but he can't let his guard down yet. He always raises his vigilance to the highest level and is always ready to fight the Qi army for the fifth time.

"General, we captured five Qi army scouts."

A general came over and said: "After torture, they truthfully said that the Qi soldiers were not united. Now the weather is getting colder and colder. They will not attack us again in a short time. They want to delay it until the Huns send troops to support Qi."

country."

The Qi army did not dare to attack, and Yang Duanhe did not dare to take the initiative to fight.

After all, the gap in the number of troops between the enemy and ourselves is still too large.

Yang Duanhe said: "Continue to be more vigilant and kill all the enemy's scouts!"

"only!"

This department will take people down immediately.

Looking at the falling snow in the sky, Yang Duanhe slowly calmed down. Just as he was about to go back to rest, another general came over and said: "General, we have received news that reinforcements have arrived at Yanmen Pass. General Li is leading

Eighty thousand soldiers came to support us."

"Finally the reinforcements are waiting!"

Yang Duanhe looked overjoyed.

When Li You's 80,000 troops arrived in the army, he could take the initiative to attack and first deal with all the more than 100,000 Qi troops in front of him. He then asked: "How long will it take for General Li You to arrive?"

"About five days."

The general said.

The distance from Yanmenguan to Handan is relatively long, and with the heavy snow, we must not go too fast. Five days is enough to wait.

Yang Duanhe said: "Arrange someone to respond."

"only!"

The general said in response.

Victory is close at hand.

Yang Duanhe's previous worries were put aside, and then he thought about the gap between himself and Bai Zhong, and sighed in his heart that there was no reason why Bai Zhong could be promoted so quickly.

Compared to Bai Zhong's, his ability is still far behind.

——

Yuyang is not very far from Yanmen.

Zhang Tang arrived a long time ago, several days ahead of Li You's progress, but the current situation in Yuyang is not good.

The Huns in western Liaoning did not retreat due to the snowy weather like those north of Yanmen Pass. The weather in western Liaoning was not as bad as that north of Yanmen Pass, and with the assistance of Yan State, they basically suppressed the guards of Yuyang to fight.

.

Of the 50,000 soldiers and horses, only more than 30,000 were left, who could barely hold on.

When Zhang Tang arrived, he happened to encounter the Xiongnu and Yan troops joining forces to attack the city again. He immediately led his troops to the city gate. This strange force quickly alleviated Yuyang's disadvantage and temporarily defeated the attacking enemies.

Beat away.

"Reinforcements are finally here!"

Yuyang's guard cheered excitedly.

According to his judgment, Yuyang could only hold on for two more days at most before it could no longer hold on. He was already prepared to abandon the city and escape and go back to the valley. Finally, when the reinforcements arrived, the pressure on his shoulders suddenly eased.

Seeing that the enemy had temporarily retreated, the guards immediately opened the city gate and allowed Zhang Tang and others to enter the city.

"Meet the general!"

The guards said in unison.

Zhang Tang said: "I have been ordered by the general to come and defend Yuyang with you. You are welcome. How many troops are there in the enemy outside the city?"

"More than three hundred thousand!"

The guard said helplessly.

Zhang Tang was surprised and said: "Yuyang only had 50,000 people at the beginning. Taking advantage of the city, 50,000 withstood the attack of more than 300,000 people. You are very powerful."

The guard general explained: "The Huns are not good at attacking the city and have no discipline at all. The Yan army can attack the city, but it is not powerful enough. Although the enemy is powerful, it is not organized enough. We can barely resist it. If General Zhang arrived two days later,

We can only abandon the city and run away, and return to defend the upper valley."

“That’s pretty good too!”

Zhang Tang thought for a while and then asked: "Is the army short of food?"

The guard said: "There is no shortage. We can prepare food from the upper grain at any time."

There is no shortage of food, enough to survive the entire ice and snow season. Zhang Tang thought quickly and said: "Stick here first. When the ice and snow melts, the general will have methods and will come to support. Now try to strengthen the tower as much as possible."

"only!"

Many guards said in unison.

On the afternoon of the second day after Zhang Tang arrived, the enemies outside the city were not afraid of ice and snow and came to attack the city again.

They also want to capture Yuyang as soon as possible, occupy everything inside, survive the winter, and then continue to attack the west.

The King of Yan was eager to regain his lost land, and the Huns wanted to occupy the Central Plains. They were all fighting cruelly on this land for their own interests.

Listening to the sound of war drums, Zhang Tang hurried to the tower and shouted: "The crossbowmen come first..."

The Yuyang Guard Battle has begun again.

This was the first time Zhang Tang saw how the Huns attacked the city. As the defender said, the Huns were not good at attacking the city. Although with the assistance of the Yan army, the discipline was integrated and became more orderly. From the overall perspective, the Huns were not good at attacking the city.

Still not very good.

If he were in a general's army, such a chaotic army would probably starve for three days and three nights.

The Yan army will attack the city and be more organized, but the overall strength is too weak. It was crippled by Wang Jian before, but now it has a kind of heartfelt awe for the Qin army.

"kill!"

Zhang Tang felt that defending the city was not difficult to fight.
