Chapter seven hundred and eleventh to kill the change
Wenxi is fifteen miles northwest.
Five thousand soldiers and horses lined up on both sides of the avenue. On the avenue, Yan Liang stood on horseback, looking far to the northwest.
Not long after, several riders and horses came galloping from the west, gradually approaching.
Hu Che'er waved his hand, and a group of Tiger Guard cavalry galloped up, intercepted the approaching cavalry, and escorted them to the front of Yan Liang's drive.
Those who came were none other than several Huns.
"Your Majesty, my Shanyu is already on his way here, and he has brought three thousand cattle and sheep with him to present to your Majesty." One of the Huns envoys said with cupped hands.
Yan Liang showed joy on his face, raised his whip and said: "Go and tell Liu Shanyu quickly that I am waiting for him here, and I will drink three hundred cups with him this time."
After that, Yan Liang gave orders to the Huns envoys and their entourage who came to report the news. After receiving generous rewards from all of them, he sent them to return to Liu Bao.
The Xiongnu envoys thanked him and rode away happily.
As soon as the Huns envoy left, Yan Liang issued an order, ordering the troops to be ready to obey orders at any time. At the same time, he sent a large number of scouts to closely monitor the situation of the Huns on the northwest road.
The order was given, and the cavalry scattered in all directions.
Yan Liang stood on his horse and continued to wait patiently.
Half an hour later, several mounted scouts returned and reported that the Huns were ten miles away.
"How many people did Liu Bao bring?" Yan Liang asked.
"The road is so dusty that I can't tell how many Huns are coming," the scout replied.
Does dust cover the sky?
Yan Liang's eyebrows narrowed slightly. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something unusual in the scout's report.
"Liu Bao drove thousands of cattle and sheep here, so it's not surprising that he stirred up dust all over the sky." Hu Che'er said casually.
Yan Liang then remembered that the Xiongnu envoy just now said that Liu Bao was not only coming to surrender and receive a title, but he also brought thousands of cattle and sheep heads as tribute to his surrender.
From this point of view, as Hu Che'er said, there is nothing suspicious about the Huns raising dust all over the sky.
If it were anyone else, I'm afraid there would be no more suspicion, but a thought suddenly flashed through Yan Liang's mind:
Is that barbarian Liu Bao pretending to surrender?
If it was a false surrender, would he have taken advantage of the pretext of coming to accept the title of Ce, and led his army here, hoping to catch him off guard?
So, when the Huns envoy claimed to be driving cattle and sheep, could it be that Liu Bao was covering for his galloping cavalry?
A series of suspicions surged into his mind like a tide. With years of experience, Yan Liang instinctively realized that he was most likely deceived by Liu Bao.
At the moment of suspicion and speculation, I saw that at the end of the northwest horizon, a sky-filled sandstorm was approaching.
"The Huns are coming." Hu Cheer shouted.
Yan Liang looked far into the distance, looking at the approaching dust mist, and the suspicion in his razor-sharp eyes became even more intense.
A few miles away, Liu Bao's ferocious face was filled with killing and excitement.
Liu Bao, who was running, looked back at the fierce cavalry behind him, and the murderous intent on his face became more intense.
The envoy reported earlier that Yan Liang was really unprepared and only led less than five thousand soldiers and horses to welcome his return.
After Liu Bao learned the news, he couldn't help but be very excited.
How could a mere 5,000 Chu troops be a match for his 20,000 cavalry? As long as he led the cavalry and charged in before Yan Liang noticed it, Liu Bao's reputation would become famous all over the world from today on.
What Liu Bao has to do now is to run as fast as possible before the enemy notices him.
At the other end of the field of vision, the flags and figures of the Chu army came into view. Those thousands of Chu troops, just as the envoy reported, were not on guard and were still waiting there stupidly.
Seeing this scene, Liu Bao became even more excited and shouted: "Warriors of the Huns, the enemy is unprepared. Follow me and kill all those Han dogs -"
"Kill all the Han dogs!"
"Kill all the Han dogs!"
The Huns waved the sabers in their hands and screamed wildly, as if they had been beaten to death.
The fierce cavalry rushed far away from the Chu army in the blink of an eye.
Such a distance was enough for the cavalry to launch a fatal charge.
"Yan Liang, Yan Liang, you travel all over the Central Plains, but you never thought that you would be defeated by me, Liu Bao, today, hahahaha——" Liu Bao laughed wildly in his heart and beat the horse on his crotch desperately.
Inside and outside, the ferocious faces of the Huns were finally revealed.
Hu Che'er and five thousand soldiers of the Chu army were shocked when they saw the fierce enemy cavalry emerging from the dust and fog.
It turned out that the billowing dust mist was not caused by cattle or sheep at all, but by thousands of cavalry, rushing towards them like a tide.
That kid Liu Bao didn't come to surrender at all, but to take the opportunity to make a surprise attack!
The soldiers of the Chu army suddenly realized this.
Only Yan Liang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.
"That's it. I really didn't expect that this Liu Bao actually tried to fake a surrender. He even concealed it from the military advisor and the others. How could Hu Lu think of such a trick with his stupidity? It seems that Liu Bao is probably following
Liu Bei secretly hooked up, what a pity..."
It's a pity that you failed to calculate it despite all your calculations. No matter whether you pretend to surrender or you surrender for real, I, Yan Liang, will still kill you!
Yan Liang's face suddenly darkened and he shouted sharply: "All troops, line up!"
A roar like a bell woke up the shocked soldiers of the Chu army. These elite soldiers quickly suppressed their surprise and quickly formed a formation.
Liu Bao, who was far away, saw the Chu army in formation and knew that the enemy had noticed something unusual and was preparing to form a formation to attack.
Liu Bao was completely disdainful. He didn't want to believe how a mere 5,000 Chu army infantry and cavalry could withstand the impact of his 20,000 iron cavalry in such a wilderness.
"Kill - kill -" Liu Bao waved his saber and ran like the wind.
In the distance, Yan Liang stared coldly at the approaching Xiongnu cavalry, standing still without any fear.
How could Yan Liang, who had defeated so many powerful enemies, be afraid of mere barbarians?
What's more, Yan Liang was already prepared.
When the enemy cavalry rushed more than 500 paces away, Yan Liang raised his riding whip slightly and shouted: "The time has come, send a signal to the troops."
When the order was given, Hu Cheer rolled up his sleeves, raised a red flag several feet high, and danced wildly around.
That was the signal to set off the ambush.
In the blink of an eye, the thunderous sound of war drums soared into the sky.
The earth began to tremble, as if the earth was falling apart, as if a giant beast buried deep in the ground was about to break out of the earth.
On the southwest side, amidst the thundering sound of the earth and the earth, violent dust suddenly rose, and countless soldiers and horses rushed towards them. The veteran Huang Zhong rode his horse and wielded his sword, moving forward indomitably.
On the northeast side, Zhang Liao's long sword came like lightning, and tens of thousands of Chu soldiers surged behind him like a tidal wave.
From the two wings, suddenly 50,000 to 60,000 Chu troops rushed out, like two sharp knives, stabbing at the galloping Hun cavalry.
This sudden ambush shattered all Liu Bao's self-confidence in an instant, and frightened the Xiongnu Chanyu into silence.
Ambushes are everywhere, and you've fallen into a trap!
"The thief Yan actually saw through my plan, how is this possible!?" Liu Bao was horrified and couldn't believe what he saw.
Liu Bao only thought that Yan Liang had seen through his plan, but he never imagined that Yan Liang didn't even bother to wonder whether he was really surrendering or not. He had already made up his mind to set up an ambush and wait to kill him.
"We've fallen into the trap, the whole army retreats, retreat quickly -" Liu Bao, who woke up in a hurry, reined in his horse and turned around to escape.
At this time, Yan Liang's long knife had been drawn forward fiercely, and he shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
In the infantry formation, more than a thousand crossbowmen raised their hidden hard crossbows high and ruthlessly fired their weapons toward the Huns who were hundreds of steps away.
Whoosh whoosh!
More than a thousand sharp arrows rose into the sky like locusts, and hit the chaotic enemy group like raindrops.
The Xiongnu soldiers who were turning around were not prepared at all. The five thousand Chu troops who seemed to be defenseless were actually equipped with heavy crossbows.
The Huns turned their backs to the Chu army and were unable to dodge the attack. Amidst the shrill screams, hundreds of Huns were shot off their horses on the spot.
The Huns, who were confused and frightened, did not even bother to dodge the arrows and just fled in confusion.
In this chaotic moment, the Chu army led by Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao had already attacked from both wings. The passionate Chu army soldiers were fiercely killing the frightened enemy.
The fighting spirit of the menacing Huns had already collapsed, and there was no fighting spirit left.
In a short time, nearly half of the Huns were cut off from the Chu army's retreat.
More than 10,000 Xiongnu soldiers were surrounded by six or seven times the Chu army. They were cut down mercilessly by swords and spears from all directions. They were killed until ghosts cried and wolves howled, and corpses lay everywhere on the ground.
Liu Bao, who suffered heavy losses, did not care about his surrounded subordinates, and reluctantly led more than 10,000 Xiongnu soldiers to the rear. Fortunately, he escaped from the Yan army's pincer attack and fled in the direction of Fenyin desperately.
Seeing the remnants of the Huns fleeing far away, Yan Liang sneered: "Liu Bao, I will not let you go so easily. Let's see where you can escape."
With a sneer, Yan Liang ordered his troops to fight vigorously and kill all the besieged Xiongnu soldiers, and then continued to pursue the remaining Xiongnu troops in the direction of Fenyin.
The frightened Liu Bao ran all the way without even a chance to breathe. He fled back to Fenyin City for two days and two nights.
Liu Bao returned in a hurry. The Huns who stayed behind inside and outside the city were all shocked when they heard the news of Shanyu's defeat.
Liu Bao, who returned in embarrassment, ordered his five men and horses to pack up their things and prepare to cross the Fen River northward at any time to avoid Pishi City on the north bank to avoid the Chu army that was coming later. He then rode his horse into the city and headed straight for his royal court.
.
After entering the royal court, Liu Bao was furious and went straight into the royal tent.
Inside the tent, Cai Yan didn't know the news of Liu Bao's defeat, so he was shocked when he suddenly saw Liu Bao coming back.
"Why did the Great Chanyu come back so soon? Has he already defeated Yan Liang?" Cai Yan asked with a smile as he stood up to greet him.
Snap!
Liu Bao waved his hand and slapped Cai Yan hard on the face.
This sudden slap was so forceful that Cai Yan couldn't prepare for it. He screamed and was slapped to the ground.
Liu Bao stared at Cai Yan on the ground and cursed angrily: "You bitch, it was all your bad idea. As a result, I was defeated by Yan's thieves, and I lost ten thousand warriors of the Huns in vain!" (Unfinished)
