Besides, Han Sui was still a little scared when he escaped from the city. He didn't know whether his actions were right or wrong. He just had a feeling that if he had to stay in Songcheng, it would be difficult to survive this time.
come out.
It felt right. It didn't take long for more and more Huns cavalry to escape from Songcheng. From their mouths, Han Sui finally knew what happened in the city. When he heard that Qiao Xiong was dead (actually he was just fainted)
After receiving the news, Han Sui was horrified and did not dare to stay any longer. He sent his troops to stay for several nights and asked them to contact the Huns cavalry team who had been lucky enough to go out of the city to clear grass in the valley first, so that they would never return to Songcheng.
On the contrary, we should go to the town and county and prepare to leave from there.
The powerful strength of the Shanshan Guards, especially their seemingly invulnerable strength, made Han Sui no longer have the courage to fight with them. All he could think about now was how to leave here as quickly as possible. Leaving this place was considered to be like hell to him.
The land of Jizhou.
The Huns cavalry are still very fast. Based on the principle of grabbing wherever they go, they don't have too many supplies on them, so they will naturally rush over faster. On the contrary, the Shanshan Guards still need to bring prisoners and a lot of
The gold and silver they had robbed before could not move very fast. Fortunately, there were more than 6,000 war horses captured in this battle, which could carry a lot of heavy objects, greatly reducing their pressure.
The Shanshan Guards did not move quickly, and the Huns cavalry did not have so many worries. It only took less than three days to get from Songcheng to Zhenxian. But when they rushed here excitedly, everything that appeared in front of them made them change.
I was getting a little desperate. Outside the town and county, there were freshly dug trenches everywhere, five miles deep, and barbed wire fences standing everywhere. There were Jizhou infantrymen standing in many trenches, and they were all
He holds a strong bow in his hand.
The Hun cavalry, who could not take advantage of their speed at all, drew their horses and left when they saw this scene. They left without even saying a harsh word. This made the Hun cavalry who were already prepared to fight
Feng Wanli, the commander of the Quartet Army, was very unwilling.
Looking back, he saw that the 3,000 Fourth Army troops had already set up battle formations and were preparing for a battle. He had no choice but to wave his hands and said, "Go back and seize the time to rest."
When Feng Wanli's unwilling look fell into the eyes of Ning Feng who was standing beside him, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Commander Feng, don't be too anxious. The scouts have already sent news that a large-scale Xiongnu army is coming here. Fighting
You beat some of them."
"Haha." Hearing this, Feng Wanli also showed a smile on his face, and then said: "This commander is unwilling to accept it. These Huns cavalry came to Jizhou to burn and kill, and let them leave peacefully in front of us.
It’s really irritating.”
"It doesn't matter, isn't there already news? The Shanshan Guards have arrived, so I'll leave these cavalry to them." How could Ning Feng not be angry? He just let the infantry chase the cavalry. That's really him.
It seems like a long life. If an infantry dares to challenge the cavalry, it is already an incredible act of courage. Let them start the pursuit, so forget it.
"Okay, these cavalry will be handed over to the Shanshan Guards. We will wait here to wait for the Huns' army to arrive. Humph! His Highness has also arrived with the army. This time we will have a good fight with the Huns.
Let's see who is more powerful in the end." Feng Wanli looked towards the north, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Although Feng Wanli looked like he was begging for war, he actually didn't want the Xiongnu army to appear in front of him right now. Without it, the number of troops in his hands was too small, only a four-thousand-strong Quartet Army. However, according to the information obtained by the scouts,
This time the Xiongnu came with 30,000 people, which was a huge disadvantage in terms of strength.
Fortunately, there are still 20,000 captured Guzhou soldiers in the city. During this period of emergency screening, 10,000 qualified soldiers were selected. After a brief training, they were given some weapons, which made up for some of the shortcomings in strength, but
At most, they can only rely on the terrain of the city to hold on. As for counterattack, they still need to wait until Tang Ao arrives with his army.
Under the town and county, the trenches continued to be dug deeply. As long as the enemy did not approach the city, they would not stop for a day. At the same time, Ning Feng also continued to give orders to dispatch bows and arrows from other cities to the town and county, and prepared a defensive battle for the city.
The preparations. Behind Zhenxian, the Shanshan Guards are also approaching. Behind them are a thousand tiger soldiers, three thousand chariot battalions, and finally the two firearms battalions led by Tang Ao, two
Ten thousand reserve troops and two thousand support troops, and ten thousand civilians.
At this time, Tang Ao had already led his army out of the city. With the help of a large number of mules and horses, they could reach the town and county in about half a month. This was because the road from Jijun to Zhongjun had been built roughly.
, if all the roads in Jizhou are repaired, the time will be shortened.
Scouts are running on the ground, birds are flying in the sky, and news is constantly being transmitted back.
In ancient battlefields without communication capabilities, the lag of messages is the norm, and sometimes it can even cause very serious consequences, making it impossible for people to make the correct response in the first place. When Tang Ao came here, he actually had the beast terminology
, this seemingly useless thing has unexpected effects when placed on the battlefield. This also means that when the Jizhou Army faces the enemy, it can often easily grasp the opponent's intelligence and get the information on the battlefield earlier.
First-hand information.
Just like this time, when the Xiongnu army was still two hundred miles away, information about them had been sent to the towns and counties.
The Huns army finally got the support of Beidi and opened a way. They obviously didn't want to miss this opportunity and wanted to play big. This time they sent a total of 30,000 troops, including 5,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry.
Although it is not yet known who will lead the army, the number of troops will not change. After learning the exact news, Ning Feng ordered people to send the news back to Tang Ao while actively making preparations for the war.
.
Two hundred miles away, the 30,000 Xiongnu army was advancing, quickly approaching the town and county.
There are five major families in the Beidi Kingdom, and the Xiongnu are not afraid of giving in. They have four clans: Huyan, Bu, Landao, and Qiao.
This time, in order to seize the opportunity, the Huns also invested money. Bu Jie, the leader of the Bu clan, personally led the team. Bu Li was the vanguard and led 5,000 cavalry. Bu Yuan was the rear army and led 5,000 troops to escort the grain and grass.
Along with the baggage, the two Bu family generals Wu Guang and Shan Tatang will be the left and right generals, each with five thousand infantry. In the middle army, Qiao Tai of the Qiao family is walking with Bu Yuan, and the two generals Cen Duogu and Ke
I thought each of them would take five thousand steps to protect each other on the left and right.
The two families mobilized with 30,000 troops and marched across Beidi towards Jizhou.
Qiao Tai, who was riding a horse in the middle army, was very excited when he saw the vast and endless team. When he saw Bu Jie, the head of the Bu family, who was under the banner with the word "Bu", he couldn't help but sigh: "
Mr. Bu, Beidi is so hateful. They only allowed us to take five thousand cavalry on the road. This is obviously because they are afraid that we will hit Jizhou too hard and that we are too strong. You must say that the peaceful days over the years have emboldened them.
They have all become smaller and are not worthy of controlling such a large piece of land."
Qiao Tai was full of dissatisfaction with the Beidi Kingdom. In fact, it was not only him, but also the other Huns who thought so. If he were not worried that serious civil strife would lead to a decline in his own strength and give Daqian a chance, They were afraid that if it were him, they would have raised troops to rob him.
As the leader of the second largest Xiongnu clan, Bu Jie, how could he not understand the truth? But what is the better way? Compared with Dagan, no matter in terms of population, territory, or wealth, they are far inferior. .If everyone fights among themselves, I am afraid that they will always be suppressed by Da Gan.
For the sake of the grand plan and to survive, the Xiongnu have been holding back for these years. Now they finally have a chance. Although the number of troops sent is limited due to Beidi's suspicion, and the number of cavalry is even more limited, it is at least an opportunity, isn't it?
As for the cavalry, just use less. Even if there are only 10,000 cavalry, they are enough to gallop in Jizhou. At this time, Bu Jie did not know that the 5,000 cavalry sent by the Qiao family had already been captured in Jizhou. He was crippled and is now shrinking back and not moving.
Bu Jie was full of confidence in this expedition. Although they also heard some news that Jizhou had changed its owner, from King Zhong to King Ji, and they heard that King Ji was very capable. But so what?
After all, Gan people are Han people, and Han people are weak by nature. They are more good at farming and production, unlike the Huns who are better at looting. Besides, that King Ji is only in his teens, haha , this is too young, too young for people to really take him seriously.
Bu Jie is arrogant, or the Huns are all arrogant. In their opinion, this time is more accurate than saying that they are going to have an outing rather than fighting with the Jizhou Army. Many people are even here I was thinking that as soon as the army waiting for them arrived, the timid Han soldiers would be scared away, and then all the good things in Jizhou would be theirs.
Pride is not terrible, but arrogance is terrible. The following facts will tell these Huns soldiers, and will make them completely change their views on the Han people and the Han army. They finally know one thing, no matter how far away those who invade the Han are, they will surely punish!
...
Town and county.
There are trenches and iron nets everywhere under the city. Iron hammers were hammered down, and cast-iron tripods fell into the soil one by one. There was an iron pole in the middle with a button hole on it. Within a distance of ten meters, it was There are several knotted and knotted barbed wires running vertically and horizontally.
With these, it is enough to withstand the opponent's offensive and act as a hindrance. As long as the opponent cannot rush to the bottom of the city tower in one go, it will be time for the Jizhou Army to counterattack.
