Chapter 311: Coalition Commander
Note: I would like to dedicate this chapter to See_an of the Alliance, thank you for your continued rewards and support, and promise that no matter how difficult it is, this book will be complete and will not be unfinished.
The Huns were stunned.
They were accustomed to chasing yellow sheep on the grassland, but they never thought that a two-legged sheep like Yanren would one day stare at the herder with blood-red eyes and desperately rush towards the herder.
A Hun soldier was trampled and fell to the ground.
Another Xiongnu leader unfortunately became the victim of the Yan people's counterattack. This fat and fierce man whose hands were stained with countless Yan people's lives. First, his eyes were pricked by an unknown woman with a bun, and his face was covered with blood. Then, there was a burst of blood on his thigh.
The pain from the pain told him that the brothers below had also been plotted.
"Shoot them all!"
Xubuhun was almost going crazy. A carefully planned conspiracy was completely changed because of the movement of an inconspicuous little chess piece.
Behind the Yan people, the Qin army seized the opportunity and launched its first counterattack since the siege. Gan Yong, who was determined, devoted almost all of his reserves to this tragic attack. Ma Jin volunteered and led
The Qin army rushed to the front.
With bloody spirit and despair, the Yan people counterattacked, and after killing all the Huns hiding in their ranks, they rushed more than a hundred steps towards the main Xiongnu formation.
Unfortunately, this decision was extremely wrong.
While Xu Buhun was sneering, he had already ordered groups of cavalry to distance themselves. The archers on the front began to shoot dense arrows, and on both wings, the Huns' light cavalry also began to speed up, trying to get behind the Yan people.
, kill these two-legged sheep who dare to resist the Huns one by one.
Feng Tang was mixed in with the team, and he was at a loss not knowing where to go.
After being hit again and again, he could no longer feel his mother's warm breath, nor could he hear the sound of his little brother struggling and crying in his mother's arms.
"Auntie, where are you?" Feng Tang cried, helplessly casting his tearful eyes on the people around him. However, the Yan people, who were in despair and excitement, only cared about killing the Huns and then killing them.
, where can I have the time to pay attention to a child's desire?
unconsciously.
Feng Tang fell below. In a huge stampede, a four-year-old child was not knocked down and trampled to death. It must be said that this is a miracle.
If we explain it, the only thing that can be explained is the brilliance of human nature.
"Damn it, come back quickly, don't go any further." Ma Jin shouted urgently. Unlike the inexperienced people of Yan, he, who had been in battle for a long time, noticed the Huns' strange movements after attacking for a while.
Makin's cry.
Drowned in the desperate cries of the Yan people, the Yan people, who had been suppressed for a long time, used a fearless courage to face the Huns side by side, unarmed.
life.
Only one time.
If possible, everyone wants to live. However, when they find that even though they have sacrificed everything, they still cannot save their lives. At this moment, the resentment accumulated for many days in the hearts of the Yan people makes them lose their minds.
"Whoosh, whoosh. Whoosh--!"
The Huns' arrows rained down on their heads. After the arrows reached their highest point, they suddenly turned downwards with acceleration. Even if the Yan people, who were unprotected, found a threat, they could only watch the arrows falling.
puff.
A middle-aged man with an arrow in his face staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, although in his hand he still held a bronze knife snatched from a Huns soldier.
"Brother!"
Next to him, a younger and younger Yan man with a somewhat similar face threw himself on the middle-aged man with a cry of sorrow. After a period of confusion, he realized that his relative had disappeared.
The young man grabbed the sword from his elder brother's hand, shouted and rushed to the front of the team——.
"Shoot that bastard who doesn't know how to live or die." Opposite, the Hun commander in charge of commanding the archers to fight had a cruel smile on his stern face.
Within two hundred steps, the Huns' shooting skills can be described as almost perfect. At the same time, the speed of the Yan people's feet is incomparable to that of the Yellow sheep in the eyes of the Huns' shooters.
Brothers die and brothers succeed.
When the young man stared with unwilling eyes and struggled to fall down after being hit by six or seven arrows, the momentum of the Yan people's forward attack finally stopped. In just a quarter of an hour, nearly four thousand Yan people died from the heavy rain of arrows from the Huns.
Down.
bloody.
It can be sustained for a while, but it cannot be sustained for a long time.
"Hurry up." Ma Jin shouted. He no longer cared about greeting the disobedient Yan people in front of him. He had to return to his formation before the hoofbeats of the Hun cavalry on both wings approached.
"Jiujiu Lao Qin, restore our rivers and mountains, until the blood is shed, and we will fight to the death. Kill!" The Qin army generals who attacked shouted in unison. At the same time, Gan Yong also led a crossbow unit to respond.
Feng Tang is very lucky.
When he was clamped firmly and powerfully by a pair of big hands, a sense of security grew in his young heart, Qin Jun——, this was the last word Feng Tang heard before Xuan fainted.
The Yan people's counterattack ended with heavy casualties.
Of the more than 12,000 Yan people who followed Ma Jin and others back to the Qin army's camp, there were only less than 1,700 lucky ones, and more than 10,000 Yan people died in this desperate counterattack.
However, the situation of the Huns was not much better.
A thousand strong Xiongnu soldiers who were ambushing the Yan people and trying to sneak attack the Qin army died unjustly at the death blow of the Yan people before they reached the real battlefield.
Under normal circumstances, it would be easy for these thousand Xiongnu elite soldiers to deal with more than 10,000 civilians. Xubuhun finally paid the price for his arrogance.
——.
Luanhe River line.
The Qin army lured the enemy troops into a bloody battle. Xubuhun was furious and desperately ordered to transfer Yan's new troops to Luanhe. He wanted to destroy the Qin army that had brought shame to him at all costs, and
Those bastards of Yan who fled and hid behind the Qin army’s camp.
Xubuhun is not Maodun.
His vision was limited to the small battlefield of Luanhe River. If he could look further, he would find that the Qin army was already squeezing in from three directions like tigers pouncing on prey.
On the south bank of Yishui.
A coalition of more than 70,000 troops composed of Qin, Chu, Wei, Changshan and other countries, led by Li Yuan, is advancing northward in a mighty manner. The various princes in the Kanto region are fighting each other inextricably.
This time, a rare agreement was reached. After receiving Kuai Che's reward, Xiang Tuo, the Prime Minister of the Chu State, finally agreed after much hesitation to send a 20,000 Chu army reinforcements to participate in the Northern Expedition.
This Chu army is currently the only mobile force in the rear of the Western Chu State. The Chu general who leads it is Lu Chen, the former general of Chen Wangsheng. This general who rose to prominence in the early stages of the Great Uprising was defeated by Chen Wangsheng's Zhang Chu Zhenghan.
He chose to lead the Cangtou Army to surrender to King Xiong Xin of Chu Huai.
Judging from the subsequent results, this choice was a wrong choice.
Xiong Xin was under the control of Xiang Liang, and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew could not even save themselves, let alone promote and reuse Lu Chen. What's more, with Xiong Xin's broad-mindedness, he was also quite wary of Chen Wangsheng's old troops.
In recent years, Lu Chen, who was depressed and not reused, has gradually faded out of the political center of the Western Chu Kingdom. This time, if Xiang Tuo hadn't searched all the generals in the country and couldn't find a suitable general to go to war, Lu Chen would have died of old age.
Now in Pengcheng.
Among the coalition forces, the one with the third largest number of troops sent was the former Chu army general Zhong Limei. This self-proclaimed prince of Changshan was so anxious after hearing that Xiang Yu was besieged that he led 10,000 Changshan troops as early as the end of July.
After arriving at Gucheng, Zhong Limei would have led his troops to Jixian immediately if Li Yuan had not repeatedly dissuaded him.
Of course, if he really did this, with the fierceness of the Huns' cavalry, Changshan's army would lose blood again and again during the advancement, and finally slowly struggle to death after losing its defensive ability. Fortunately, Zhong Limei held back, and he
He is not the kind of reckless man who is reckless when he is impulsive. At the same time, as he independently owns a country, he is no longer just a general of the Chu army, but needs more subordinates to comprehensively analyze the situation in Changshan.
Compared with the armies of Chu and Changshan, which deployed real swords and real spears, King Wei Bao's troops were pitifully small and only sent 500 soldiers. This was because the King of Western Wei who had persisted the longest was in a very bad situation.
.
The site is only a small piece of land around Daliang.
There are only about 50,000 people under his rule, and among them, only less than 5,000 can be drafted into young men. Under such circumstances, Wei Bao has difficulty in not only attacking others, but also in protecting himself.
, after several years of construction and recovery, Daliang City has made some progress, but for a ghost town to fully recover, relying on Wei Bao's influence is obviously not enough.
In addition to the various coalition forces, the most powerful Qin army directly dispatched 30,000 main troops on the eastern front, which did not include Gan Yong's troops who went north early in the morning.
Not only did Li Yuan go out as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, but Han Xin, the general of the Qin army on the eastern front, also detoured to Qi and launched an attack on the Huns from another direction after obtaining the consent of Chu.
In the northwest, the Great Qin side cavalry who received Li Yuan's order to reinforce Youyan's battlefield were coming from Jiuyuan and Yunzhong areas day and night. The Qin generals leading this side cavalry were Su Jiao and Yang Wengzi.
Military general.
"Save Xiang Chu, capture Maodun, and defeat the Xiongnu." This time, all the coalition forces had the rare opportunity to think in one place and work hard in one place. At this moment, it seemed that it was not they who were fighting and killing each other in the past, but others.
Just like people.
Qin became the de facto leader of the coalition.
This was actually a compromise made by various princes out of desperation.
Among the princes of Guandong, Liu Bang, the king of Han, had long been defeated, and Xiang Yu, the strongest king of Chu, was besieged again. The leaderless princes of Guandong could only think of Li Yuan, who was said to be undefeated on the battlefield.
August 10th.
The Qin cavalry who had come from a long distance appeared in the Yuyang area. The Qin cavalry, dressed in black and black armor, were like a black torrent. They were not afraid of the guerrilla tactics of the Huns. They grew up in the grasslands, and their horseback riding skills were not inferior to any of them.
