Seeing the Huns cavalry of at least 50,000 people who had bypassed the Jiuyuan City and divided into five groups and rushed toward Shangdi and Yunzhong, Meng Hong, who was calm and composed on the city wall, and other generals at all levels of the Jiuyuan Army suddenly had expressions on their faces.
Qi changed greatly.
Nowadays, there are 200,000 Jiuyuan Army in the northern border of Qin Dynasty, and nearly 180,000 people have gathered in Jiuyuan City. The remaining 20,000 Jiuyuan Army are still in Yanmen and Yunzhong counties because of the long journey.
.
In Shangjun, there is basically no regular army of the Qin Dynasty. Can ordinary county soldiers and county soldiers resist these wolf-like Huns? The answer is obviously no.
Yunzhong and Yanmen's 29,000 original troops are distributed in two counties and five counties. In Yunzhong County, Yunzhong and Yanmen County, Zhishanwu, there are 5,000 soldiers of the Nine Original Army in each of the two cities.
There are only 10,000 people in the remaining two counties and four counties. The Jiuyuan Army is indeed good at fighting, but it is difficult to fight with one enemy two, but it is difficult to fight one enemy three. How to resist these tens of thousands of Xiongnu barbarians?
The most important thing is that the order from Meng Tian, who was still on the Jiuyuan Chi Road, was for the Jiuyuan Army to drag Maodun's Huns army under the Jiuyuan City and wait for him to arrive at Jiuyuan.
Meng Hong and others naturally knew why Meng Tian asked them to drag the Xiongnu army under Jiuyuan City. Naturally, it was because the entire Northern Territory of Qin included the vast land of Jiuyuan, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Shangjun and more than a dozen counties.
, there are basically not many regular counties stationed in Da Qin. Except for the 200,000 original troops stationed in Jiuyuan, the dozens of counties in the northern border of Da Qin can be said to be extremely empty.
The poor county soldiers and county soldiers are basically in an undefended place.
Meng Tian issued the order to die like this. It was precisely because he was worried that Mao Dun would choose to go around the city and plunder the Yanmen and Yunzhong counties behind Jiuyuan because Jiuyuan City was difficult to attack.
In that case, even if the Huns can be successfully driven back this time, the entire northern border of Da Qin will basically be in ruins.
Now it seems that Meng Tian's most worried thing has obviously become a reality. Maodun only attacked the city once but chose to besiege it instead of attacking it. He sent the Huns cavalry to bypass Jiuyuan City and penetrate deep into the interior of Daqin to plunder.
"It's broken!" Li Gang, who was standing behind Meng Hong, clapped his hands and shouted when he saw tens of thousands of Huns cavalry galloping away in billows of dust.
His loud shout startled everyone including Meng Hong who was standing next to him.
Meng Hong, who looked worried, wanted to take a copper sword and poke a few big holes in him. No one is a fool or a blind man. Do you need to shout like this?
"General! The general ordered us to drag the Xiongnu army under Jiuyuan City, but now the Huns have bypassed Jiuyuan City where our army is stationed, and it seems that they are going to enter Yanmen and Yunzhong counties. This is terrible
What should we do?" A general standing beside Meng Hong asked worriedly.
"General, why don't you let the last general lead his army out of the city to fight with the Huns? As long as they win one battle, the Xiongnu Chanyu will definitely withdraw all the troops he sent out." Another general said.
The other generals also talked a lot, but most of them advocated going out of the city to fight the Huns. After all, more than ten years ago, when faced with an army of 500,000 Huns, Da Qin won a great victory with 390,000 troops.
The great victory over the Jiuyuan Army with few enemies only resulted in tens of thousands of casualties.
No one in the Jiuyuan Army felt worried or timid about the 500,000 Huns.
However, Meng Hong, the current commander-in-chief of the Jiuyuan Army, remained silent.
He was well aware of the fighting power of the Jiuyuan Army, but the Huns were no longer the Huns at that time. They were able to annihilate the Yueshi and Donghu who were originally far more powerful than the Huns within a few months, even if they were first
Even when Man was alive and the Huns were completely victorious, he couldn't do it.
However, today's Xiongnu Chanyu, the man who killed his father and seized power, not only did it, but he also did it extremely easily.
"That Modun is not an ordinary person. His move is not only to rob my country, Great Qin, but also to seduce us to go out of the city to fight with him. There are only more than 100,000 troops in the city now. If we go out of the city to fight the Huns,
There must be at least 60,000 people left in Jiuyuan City to defend the city. Or even 80,000 people. The maximum number of soldiers leaving the city is 100,000. However, there are nearly 500,000 Huns outside the city.
I guess that Mao Dun must be waiting for us to leave the city and fight with him. Once we leave the city, even if we can break out, we will definitely not be able to see Jiuyuan City again. Just entering the city will cost more than one hundred thousand soldiers.
At that time, there was still time to leave the city. If at that time, the Huns took the opportunity to attack, Jiuyuan City would be in danger. And what Mao Dun did outside the city just now must have been seen by the generals. The Huns at this time were the same as they were more than ten years ago.
What a difference!”
Meng Hong was silent for a while, looking at the Chinese army camp in Maodun.
"General, are we just going to stick to Jiuyuan City and let the Huns plunder Yanmen and Yunzhong?" It was still the general who spoke first, but he was obviously impatient at this moment.
Everyone knows what will happen to several counties in Yunzhong if the tens of thousands of Huns who circled the city are allowed to enter Yanmen. No one can afford it when the emperor is blamed. What's more, when will the Jiuyuan Army
Are you afraid of encountering the Huns? Let alone shrinking into the city and not being able to get out.
"General Wang, please be patient." Meng Hong glanced at the general named Wang and then said with a sudden look of solemnity: "The general's letter has informed us that we have been prepared for this battle. If we wait for chaos at this time,
It would be even more unwise to mess up the plans of His Majesty and the General!"
After hearing Meng Hong's words, the more than ten generals of the Nine Plains Army on the city wall were silent. Do they really want to watch the Huns enter Yanmen and Yunzhong Counties?
"There are also 20,000 soldiers of our Jiuyuan Army in Yanmen and Yunzhong! When I received the order from the general, I had already ordered the 20,000 soldiers to take the people of Yanmen County near Jiuyuan to gather in Yunzhong County to control Yun
Fortunately, there is only one county in the middle city. Even if the Huns want to plunder, they will not be able to arrive in a short time! Therefore, the generals must obey orders and keep the main force of the Huns in our Jiuyuan City!!"
Meng Hong explained.
"The general will obey the order!"
Upon hearing Meng Hong's arrangement, the expressions on the faces of the more than ten Nine Plains Army generals suddenly softened, and they all responded solemnly.
Mao Dun did have what Meng Hong said. He did not believe that the Jiuyuan Army would allow foreigners like himself to enter the hinterland of Qin and plunder the Qin people at will. He withdrew his troops and stopped attacking, just to let the Jiuyuan Army in the city
Go out of the city to fight, or send troops to break through the siege and go to rescue Yunzhong County.
When the Jiuyuan Army leaves the city, it is naturally impossible to return to the city. The Jiuyuan Army leaving the city is different from the previous battle. Even if they send troops to break out and rush to aid Yunzhong County, they can greatly weaken the power of the city defenders and greatly reduce the number of troops defending the city.
The pressure of the Xiongnu siege.
The sunset is gradually setting in the west!
The last afterglow shines on Jiuyuan City. If it weren't for the corpses on the ground around the city wall and the ground stained red with blood, this would be a beautiful sunset!
However, his 50,000 and 100,000 horsemen had been circling the city for several hours until dark, and Mao Dun did not see any movement from the Jiuyuan Army in the city. If it were not for the densely packed Qin soldiers standing on top of the city,
, Mao Dun would even think that this was an empty city.
Do the Qin people really not care about the life or death of the other Qin people? Or do the Qin people have other plans?
Modu suddenly felt a sense of irritability in his heart for no reason. It seemed that something bad was about to happen. However, he couldn't figure out what bad thing would happen.
Most of the Jiuyuan Army has been besieged in Jiuyuan City. Who else can threaten his army of hundreds of thousands?
Unless the Qin people arrive with reinforcements!
Maodun suddenly stood up!
He already understood what he was worried about and why he was irritable!
Yes, the Jiuyuan Army is now besieged in the city, but it does not mean that the Qin people cannot send reinforcements from other places. For example, the 100,000 elite troops in Longxi are the Qin army closest to Jiuyuan!
As soon as the reinforcements arrive, the Jiuyuan Army in the city will definitely join forces with the reinforcements to attack the Huns army from front to back!
With an army of nearly 500,000 under his command, even if he is not afraid, it is not that easy to defeat the nearly 300,000 elite Qin people. After all, the weapons of the Qin people are many times sharper than those of the Xiongnu.
The only thing he could rely on was his army of 500,000, which was several times larger than the Qin army.
Thinking of this, Mao Dun could no longer sit still. He had to lure the Jiuyuan Army out of the city and not give them a chance to join together. As long as part of the Jiuyuan Army or the Longxi Army who came to rescue could be eliminated, then even if
If the two Qin armies join together, they will not be a match for the Xiongnu army.
"Come here." Modun strode to the map hanging in the tent and shouted.
"Great Maodun Chanyu, your humble servant Xubuye obeys your call!" It is still Xubuye. As the commander of Wanqi, the bodyguard of Moton, he has been waiting outside Moton's big tent.
"Immediately send out scouts to explore the land within a hundred miles to see if there are any Qin reinforcements! Especially in the direction of the Longxi Army in the south." Mao Dun said.
"Yes! Great Maodun Shanyu!" Xubu Baye knelt on the ground, preparing to climb out of the tent.
"Wait a minute! Order the army to pack up some supplies and set off early tomorrow morning, bypassing Jiuyuan City and heading towards the Yunzhong County of Qin!"
Hearing Maodun's words, Xubu Baye was stunned for a moment. Apparently with his intelligence, he couldn't understand why his army of hundreds of thousands had clearly trapped all the Qin people in Jiuyuan City. Why did the great
Maodun Chanyu wants to take the initiative to withdraw his troops!
Doesn’t this give the Qin people a chance?
"Yes! Great Maodun Shanyu!"
Although he couldn't figure out what the great Maodun Chanyu was thinking in his mind, Xu Buye still chose to obey him! This was one of the reasons why Maodun chose him as the commander of his personal guard, Wanqi.
Don’t be afraid of idiots, just be afraid of disobedient idiots! And Xu Buye obviously belongs to the type of semi-idiot who is not very stupid, but very obedient and loyal! Of course, he is also a brave idiot! ^-^^-^
