Chapter 867 It's really a bluff

Boo hoo hoo...!

As soon as he finished speaking, arrows rained from the sky from behind the shield formation, aiming directly at the Huns army.

"ah!"

In just a moment, screams started to sound one after another.

The arrow rain poured directly on top of the Huns army.

The unlucky soldiers were shot to death on the spot, and the more lucky ones were also shot off their horses.

Countless arrows, not one was wasted!

Fortunately, the three people in Huchuquan stood relatively forward, and the arrows passed over the heads of the three people without affecting them.

But it still frightened the three of them into panic.

Boo hoo hoo...!

The sound of arrows came again, but this time the sharp arrows came from the dense forest.

"ah!"

There was another burst of screams, and most of the Hun soldiers who had just been ordered to detour by Liu Bao were shot to death, and those who survived also escaped in panic.

When Qubei saw this, he became furious and glared at Liu Bao with an angry look.

"King Zuo Xian, is this what you meant by going around?"

Before Liu Bao had time to speak, the sound of arrows was heard again from the direction of the shield array.

Boo hoo hoo...

This was not over yet, and then arrows began to be shot from the dense forests on both sides.

For a time, the Xiongnu army was shot to the point of being turned upside down, and chaos ensued.

Seeing this, Hu Chuquan still had no courage to resist, so he immediately made a decision.

"withdraw!"

Without giving Liu Bao another chance to speak, Huchuquan immediately took Qubei and fled to the rear.

My attitude is concise and to the point. If I want to beat you, Liu Bao will do it himself!

Liu Bao was furious when he saw this, and his move to call Chuquan was bound to harm the entire Xiongnu army.

"Waste, idiot!"

Liu Bao cursed and tried his best to avoid the arrows.

For some reason, the Yizhou Army's arrows were firing more and more rapidly, overwhelming the Xiongnu army to the point where they couldn't even lift their heads.

"kill...!"

At this moment, shouts of killing came from both sides at the same time, and the figures of countless Yizhou troops had appeared!

Huchuquan and Qubei began to flee with their troops. Liu Bao was left alone and unable to support himself. How could he make such a fearless sacrifice?

"withdraw!"

Liu Bao issued the order fiercely, and then he no longer hesitated, and began to flee to the rear with his subordinates.

The unique skills that the Huns light cavalry relied on for their fame finally came into play. The dense forest roads were flat and easy to attack.

Whether it was the army led by Huchuquan and Qubei or the tribe of King Zuoxian led by Liu Bao, their escape speed was astonishingly fast.

By the time the Yizhou ambush troops arrived, the Huns had long disappeared.

Dong Dong Dong...!

Woohoo...!

The sound of drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the sound became louder and louder, echoing throughout the dense forest.

However, the Yizhou Army, which was approaching, had no intention of pursuing, and instead slowly moved closer to the shield formation.

Behind the shield formation, Liu Zhang frowned and was trying his best to listen to what was going on outside.

It wasn't until the noise completely disappeared that the order was given to disarm the shield formation.

"Lord, all the Huns have withdrawn."

After hearing Xun You's words, Liu Zhang quickly looked outside.

It wasn't until he saw smoke and dust rising in the distance with his own eyes that Liu Zhang truly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, okay... I finally managed to scare them away!"

As he spoke, Liu Zhang wiped the sweat that had already covered his forehead!

"Hahaha, these idiots were frightened by the Lord's few words!"

Dian Wei laughed loudly, not as nervous as Liu Zhang at all.

Although he never said a word from beginning to end, Dian Wei's eyes were enough to intimidate countless Huns soldiers.

Liu Zhang sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

"There is no other way but to make dangerous moves..."

"Fortunately, Shi Yuanchang expected the enemy first and completely scared the Huns out of fear!"

This time it was really too dangerous. It can be said that Liu Zhang was risking his life!

Liu Zhang was originally in charge of Chang'an, but he suddenly received an urgent report from Wei Jian.

Liu Zhang never expected that Huchuquan would lead one hundred thousand elite troops south, and he was caught off guard.

It is definitely too late to mobilize troops and horses, and there are almost no troops to mobilize.

Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao were in charge of grain and grass in Wuguan.

Huang Zhong was sent to the ferry to receive the people of Hedong County.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan's two battalions had long been dispersed, and were assigned by Liu Zhang to Fengyi on the left, Fufeng on the right, and Jingzhao Yin counties on the right.

Taishi Ci, Pang De, and Ma Chao have led two battalions of troops to Hedong.

Liu Zhang was left with only Dian Wei and Gao Shun, of whom Gao Shun was also responsible for guarding Chang'an.

The situation was extremely critical, and Liu Zhang could only temporarily assemble all available troops.

Fortunately, before Huang Zhong left, he left four thousand martial arts battalions in Chang'an City.

Otherwise, Dian Wei and the Wuwei camp, which had lost more than half of its power, would be all the troops Liu Zhang could mobilize at the moment!

However, the two battalions combined did not have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Liu Zhang had no choice but to mobilize another 2,000 troops to fall into the camp.

A total of 10,500 people is Liu Zhang's entire force to support Hedong this time!

The generals are even more miserable. There is only one person beside Liu Zhang, Dian Wei.

The situation is extremely critical, and it will take some time to get from Chang'an City to Hedong County, especially as the 10,500-strong army is all infantry.

It is completely impossible to go there by boat on the Yellow River.

There is currently an extreme shortage of ships to transport people, and these fishing boats cannot be used for marching at all.

Almost as soon as he received the request for help, Liu Zhang handed over Chang'an City to Gao Shun.

Later, with Xun You as military advisor, he personally led a large army to rescue Hedong.

Liu Zhang had to go in person for this battle, because no one else could act as a strong deterrent.

On the march route, Liu Zhang and Xun You struggled for a long time.

The closest route is to go straight to the east of the river from Zuofengyi Ferry, but this heralds a battle with the Huns cavalry on the plains.

Ten thousand infantry fighting against a hundred thousand Hun light cavalry who are proficient in mounted archery?

No matter how arrogant Liu Zhang was, he would never sacrifice his life like this.

The two have no power to fight, and they will definitely be crushed when they meet.

Therefore, we could only rely on the terrain to forcefully drag the Huns into a place that was not conducive to the use of cavalry.

Fortunately, when Wei Jian asked for help, he sent someone a very detailed map of Hedong County.

After some research, Xun You decided to use the dense forest as a strategic location for the Yellow River crossing in Dayang City.

Before Liu Zhang arrived at the Yellow River ferry, he received good news from Wei Jian.

Pang Tong's clever calculation allowed the Yizhou army to inflict heavy losses on the Xiongnu army without a single blow!

It writes in more detail how Pang Tong designed to harm the Xiongnu army.

Liu Zhang was amazed when he saw it, and even Xun You was full of praise for Pang Tong.

The Xiongnu fell into the trap one after another, and Xun You decisively predicted that the Xiongnu army would definitely come to Dayang Ferry to pursue them.

Because Pang Tong received a military order from Liu Zhang at that time, asking him to lead the cavalry to escort the people westward to Hebei (a county in Hedong County).

Cross the river from Hebei to Hu County, and then go to Chang'an from Hu County.

Everything went as Xun You expected, and the Xiongnu army marched towards Dayang.

However, the battle was far from as smooth as it seemed. It can only be said that luck was on Liu Zhang's side again.

As soon as the trapped camp was in position, the Xiongnu army arrived.

At this time, the Wushe camp and the Wubu camp were not all in place, and there were only shield formations trapped in the camp on the entire battlefield.

If the movement of falling into the camp was even half a step slower, Liu Zhang would have hated the banks of the Yellow River!

After withstanding the first wave of Xiongnu cavalry offensive, Liu Zhang showed up forcefully to frighten the Xiongnu army, providing time for the deployment of subsequent troops.

The only good news is that the words Liu Zhang have an unparalleled deterrent effect on foreign races.
