Four hundred and eighty-eight this is what you asked for
On September 27, the troops of the Wei army vanguard Zhao Yun and Cao Xiu encountered more than 5,000 cavalrymen of the Southern Xiongnu troops thirty miles south of Meiji County.
The two armies met head-on, and no one would retreat, so they confronted each other face to face and had a big battle.
In the end, the Wei army won and defeated the vanguard of the Southern Xiongnu. The vanguard of the Southern Xiongnu side was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, and the Southern Xiongnu cavalry quickly collapsed.
The Wei army won the first battle, but Zhao Yun and Cao Xiu did not stop, but kept killing them all the way. The Southern Xiongnu troops were defeated and directly threatened the security of Meiji County.
The Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Court was shocked by it.
When reinforcements were not coming, Guiyi Shanyu thought about it and felt that fighting in the wild was not the opponent of the Wei army under Guo Peng's command, so he simply decided to give up Meiji County and retreat towards Wuyuan County, and then left 5,000 troops to fight a defensive battle in Meiji County, delaying time.
The Huns began to defend the city because the cavalry could not defeat the Han people, while the Han people were more willing to use cavalry to fight.
Such a scene happened at this time and this place, which seemed a bit inconsistent, but Guo Peng knew that this was normal.
It’s not because the Huns were degenerating too much. They are still a nation on horseback, fierce or fierce, bloodthirsty, and robbery when it is time to rob, without any mercy.
But more or less, the Han people have evolved.
Whether it is weapons, armor, food, or training that Guo Peng gave to the army, they all surpassed the Huns in all directions, and this is even more so for the cavalry.
The Huns were skilled in riding, and Guo Peng’s starting lineup since ten years ago was a cavalry, the Changshui cavalry who was best at riding and shooting, with superb riding skills.
There has never been a lack of components of cavalry in the Wei army's bloodline.
Whether it is war horses, soldiers, training, or weapons, they will not lose to the Huns. How could they be easily defeated?
Zhao Yun was very fierce in the war. Cao Xiu was eager to make contributions and killed many enemies. The Huns were suppressed by the Wei army at the beginning of the war. Whether it was sprinting or riding or shooting, there was nothing more fierce than the Wei cavalry. There was no reason not to be defeated.
When he saw that he could not fight face to face, his skills were revealed to be revealed. After a short period of confusion, Guiyi Shanyu was still smart and he made a decision.
He quickly retreated, gave up Meiji County, chose to retreat to Wuyuan County, and took his own troops to learn from the Han people, and used the methods of defending the city and resisting step by step to force Guo Peng to retreat.
It’s true that the Han people’s secret skills were learned by the Huns in the past, and the Huns’ secret skills were also learned by the Han people.
Now both sides use their respective skills to deal with each other, and this battle is a bit magical and realistic.
So when Guo Peng marched to Meiji County and found that the Huns in Meiji County were like they were defending the city, they couldn't help but look at Guo Jia and Xun You beside them.
Then Guo Peng and Guo Jia laughed out loud, while Xun You barely controlled his expression.
"The world has changed, and the Huns have begun to defend the city because the cavalry cannot defeat us."
Guo Peng laughed and said, "Then it is time for us to tell the Huns that attacking and defending cities is our key skill, and we have not lost anything in these years!"
At the order of Guo Peng, the catapult fleet began to assemble the catapults that were split into parts. In less than half a day, twenty catapults were assembled and started an attack.
Huge stones were flying in the air, drawing a beautiful arc, and smashing towards the city wall of Meiji County, which seemed short and dilapidated compared to the Central Plains Giant City.
The Huns had never seen such a posture. They were frightened by the large stones that hit them. Guo Peng ordered to intimidate them with thunder.
So one by one, one by one, the sky-shaking thunder exploded at the top of Meiji County. The Huns thought this was a ghost-god method used by the Wei army, and they didn't know how much they were scared and silly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Peng waved his hand, Cao Ren and Le Jin led the infantry corps to launch a battle to seize the city. The fierce Wei infantry forward step by step with a large shield. The Huns who were in chaos remembered to resist, but the scattered resistance was no match for the Wei army at all.
The Wei army quickly rushed to the city wall and fought with the Huns on the city wall. After an hour, the city wall was broken and the city gate opened. Xiahou Yuan immediately led the cavalry to kill him.
Meiji County was easily taken down by Guo Peng. Five thousand Xiongnu defenders died and surrendered. Guo Peng ordered all the Huns surrendered soldiers to be tied up and escorted back to Taiyuan County, and handed them over to Guo Yi as a coolie and contributed his meager strength to the restoration and reconstruction of Bingzhou.
If you don't accept it, kill it.
Simple and crude.
That night in the city, Guo Peng held Nanlou's hand and danced with him. He was very happy. While dancing, he asked Nanlou for questions such as "Is the Gu Dajun good at fighting?". Nanlou smiled awkwardly and repeatedly praised the Wei Gong army for being unparalleled in the world.
The fierce look made Nanlou's scalp numb when he saw it.
Fortunately, I am Guo Peng's man, not Guo Peng's enemy.
This person is so terrible.
The next morning, Guo Peng led his army to continue advancing towards Manber County, Wuyuan County.
This was originally the garrison of the General Du Liao, and it was the army led by the general who set up by the Eastern Han government to isolate the contact between the Southern Xiongnu and the Xianbei. The task was to ensure the loyalty of the Southern Xiongnu.
In name, it is protection, but in fact it is surveillance. The Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty still had a very clear idea.
Unfortunately, the execution is always insufficient, and the vigilance towards these "refugees" is not enough, and I have not fully understood the bloodthirsty nature of these guys.
Therefore, after the Eastern Han government became weaker and weaker, it was naturally unable to control this fierce wild wolf.
But Guo Peng is not afraid because Guo Peng is more bloodthirsty than them.
More than 2,000 heads were cut off in Meiji County in the battle, and more than 2,000 heads were cut off in the battle, and continued to carry them with the army and continued to set off towards Linwo County in Wuyuan County.
After capturing Manber County, Guo Peng ordered Cao Ren to lead Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Xia Zhao and other generals to divide 20,000 troops to capture Yanmen County and Dingxiang County, and ordered Xiahou Yuan and Guo Jia to lead 10,000 troops to capture Yunzhong County. After that, he led the remaining 50,000 troops to settle the accounts with Guiyi Shanyu.
The troops were divided into three groups to advance, and comprehensively wipe out the Southern Xiongnu and various miscellaneous Hu. No matter which tribe belongs to, as long as they dare to resist and annihilate them on the spot, they don’t have to stop.
Do you still need to care about this kind of thing in your own country?
After marching all the way to Linwo County, Guo Peng took down Linwo County in two ways, killed 3,000 Xiongnu soldiers, captured more than 1,000 soldiers, and pointed directly at Jiuyuan County.
Perhaps because he was beaten by Guo Peng, he was so angry that he was so angry that Guiyi Shanyu was nailed to Jiuyuan County and refused to retreat. He wrote to Guo Peng, asking him in tears where he had made a mistake. Guo Peng actually wanted to attack him and massacre his troops.
Are you not afraid of the court’s accountability when doing this?
Is Guo Peng afraid?
What should be afraid of is the court.
However, Guo Peng was a civilized man, and he paid attention to the fact that the two armies were fighting and did not kill them. So he cut off one of the ears of the army and wrote a reply letter for him to take them back.
He returned to Guiyi Shanyu with a pissing back to Guiyi Shanyu and handed Guo Peng's reply. Guiyi Shanyu read the reply in shock and angrily, and immediately realized that he was going to be finished.
Guo Peng detailed the repeated rebellions over the past hundred years that the Southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty for shelter.
How many people are killed, how many people and property are plundered, whom are cooperated with, what serious consequences are caused, and how are they let go afterwards.
The repeated surrenders and rebellion have made me have no trust in the Southern Xiongnu. No matter how you beg for mercy or swear, I will annihilate and expel you. This is what you asked for.
It's time to settle the accounts!
After reading the examples listed by Guo Peng in detail, Guiyi Shanyu almost fainted.
