Liu Hun led the army to easily seize the old pass and neatly cut off the Qiang and Hu's retreat route to Liangzhou.
The news quickly spread to Zhongjun Juzhu.
"Good! Liu Hun is worthy of being a general valued by the king."
Ju Fu punched the map on the table.
At this time, the Chinese army was less than a day's journey from Didao, and Jufu consciously slowed down the pace of the march.
If Liu Hun had not cut off the north, then the Qiang and Hu who besieged Didao would most likely have fled northward into Liangzhou in panic under his attack.
As for defeating the Qiang and Hu who besieged Didao, Jufu had no worries.
The reason why the Chinese Army is the Chinese Army is because it has the most powerful combat power.
"Has there been any news from Didao now? How is the situation?"
Jufu asked Huo Yi who was standing aside.
Huo Yi quickly replied: "When I got back to the general, there was no new news. On the contrary, Didao sent someone over today to ask us to march as soon as possible."
"Also, the sentries ahead have spotted the Qiang Hu spies. They may have discovered us."
Jufu said nonchalantly: "General Chen arrived in Angu County one day earlier than Liu Hun. Now he is surrounded on three sides, and the Qiang and Hu can only flee to the west."
"Even if they discover us now, what's the harm?"
Huo Yi asked with some worry: "There has been no news from the Bald Hair Division in the west. What if they don't go to Panhan as planned?"
Hearing this, Jufu turned around and patted Huo Yi on the shoulder: "General Huo, you are still young. It is normal for some things to happen unexpectedly."
He turned back and clicked Daxia County on the map, "We will only attack here this time. Further west, it is the matter of the Bald Hair Division. Whether they can stop the rebels depends on their own abilities."
When Huo Yi heard this, the worry on his face became even more serious: "Now there are nearly 20,000 rebels in Didao, and I heard that there are still more than 10,000 who have returned to Phanhan in the west in advance."
"Without our help, the Baldness Department may not be able to stop it."
A strange smile appeared on Jufu's face: "It's better if you can't stop it."
Seeing the look of hesitation on Huo Yi's face, Jufu explained: "General Huo, those who rebel against Hu are barbarians, and the Bald Hair Division is also barbarians!"
"If this battle greatly weakens the Longxi Qiang and Barbarians, it will only give the Bald Hair Tribe an opportunity to grow stronger, which is not what you want to see. What you need is obedient barbarians."
"Only in this way can the chaos in Liangzhou be prevented from happening again. The Han Dynasty can move eastward with peace of mind and restore the old capital. But the Bald Hair Division is not very obedient yet."
When Huo Yi heard Jufu's words, he suddenly woke up and looked at Jufu in horror.
Jufu can say so much, which means he is particularly optimistic about Huo Yi.
He did not go into details and ordered: "Notify the army that we will rest today and rush to Didao City tomorrow."
"promise!"
The ancient pass in the north fell into the hands of the Han army and did not attract the attention of the Qiang and Hu who besieged Didao.
In other words, their improvised army was only interested in Dido.
Of course, because Liu Hun's actions were swift and swift, the Qiang and Hu might not have reacted yet. What would it mean for them if Gu Pass fell into the hands of the Han army?
When news came that Angu County in the south had also fallen into the hands of the Han army.
Finally, I saw the banner of the Han army flying in the east.
Didao's Qiang Hu suddenly realized that they had been surrounded by Han troops on three sides, and finally became a little panicked.
For a whole winter, they besieged Didao, and they were already exhausted.
Coupled with the situation in Panhan, some Qiang and Hu have already left, and their troops have been dispersed.
In the Qiang and Hu camp outside Didao City, the commanders of the tribes gathered together and discussed the matter.
"Some people have gone westward a few days ago, let's go too."
"We surrounded Didao all winter, and we were about to capture it. We ran away before the Han soldiers saw it. How could we explain it to the warriors in our clan?"
"Yes, there are more than 20,000 of us. I heard that the Han army coming from the east is only 3,000. What are you afraid of?"
"And the north..."
"After defeating this one first, are you still afraid of the north?"
…
After arguing for a long time, they finally decided to test it out first.
At this time, Jufu had led his army and set up camp not far east of Didao City.
When the defenders in Didao City saw the Han army flag flying high, their military morale was greatly boosted.
Daochang Di almost cried.
A whole few months of isolation!
Outside the city, only Hu Ma Ming was heard, and the Han family's clothes were never seen. It felt like a child abandoned in the wild.
Although it was not the Wei army who came this time, even when I saw the flag of the Han army, I felt very friendly.
"Huo Yi, this is your first battle, so be careful."
Jufu saw that the Qiang and Hu troops had been divided up in front, and immediately ordered Huo Yi.
"Half of the Mo Dao camp is made up of experienced elite soldiers. You just have to pay attention to the drums and flags in the rear and don't advance or retreat at will."
Huo Yi, who was fully dressed in military uniform, cupped his fists and said, "The general will understand!"
The whining of horns sounded.
The Han army quickly formed a formation.
The crossbowmen were trained as usual and ranked at the front, with their wings slightly protruding forward.
Although we knew that Han troops were encircling us on three sides, the first Han troops to arrive only had three to four thousand men, and they did not even have cavalry.
The rebel Qiang thought that this was a Han army eager to make meritorious deeds, and they chaotically pulled out 6,000 men and began to advance.
They wanted to try to defeat this Han army. In this case, the Han armies from the north and the south would not dare to come easily again.
In the past few months, they had deployed troops to plunder Didao, without a high level of unified command.
Although there are many soldiers, they are not concentrated.
A considerable number of them were scattered around Didao and could not be mobilized at the moment.
Being able to draw out these 6,000 people for testing at once is considered highly efficient.
The heavy crossbow was rattling, and the arrows of the crossbow flashed with an icy cold light.
This Han army is no longer a new army that has just entered the battlefield. Many of them are elite soldiers who have experienced fierce battles.
Facing the scattered charge of the Qiang and Hu, there was no wave in his heart at all.
"Don't panic, just listen to the command. The Hu people will never be able to rush in front of you."
The commander saw that the new soldier's face was a little pale, and immediately comforted him.
"Last year, the Cao thieves' formation was much stronger than the barbarians in front of me. Didn't they still get killed by me?"
"Just listen to my command and see what I do. It's very simple!"
The soldier responsible for measuring the distance held a mountain watch, squinted one eye, and counted silently in his mind.
When he saw that he had entered the range of two hundred steps, he quickly raised a small flag to signal.
Drums sounded from the podium in the rear.
"put!"
The crossbowman holding the heavy crossbow took aim and pulled the trigger, and the arrow shot through the air.
Dozens of the Qiang and Hu cavalry that rushed at the front fell down in one fell swoop.
The well-equipped and well-prepared Han army faced off against the unprepared Hu rebels. It was simply a massacre by one side.
Although it was just a test, the two hundred cavalry troops could not rush within a hundred steps of the Han army's formation, which really surprised the Qiang and Hu leaders.
The whining started again.
The Han army waited for a while and then began to advance alternately.
It was obvious that they did not take the Qiang Hu in front of them seriously at all.
"Keep pumping for me!"
The Qiang and Hu leaders were angered by the provocation of the Han army.
There are only more than 3,000 people, and they are all infantry. How dare you attack yourself when there are 6,000 people?
However, the Qiang and Hu leaders soon understood what the Han army relied on.
The densely packed arrows shot one after another, not only shooting extremely far, but also shooting extremely fast.
If the Han army did not take the initiative to attack and just defend the formation, I am afraid that I would not be able to rush to the front of the formation.
The Han army was getting closer and closer, and it was enough for the cavalry to pass through the arrow formation.
The Qiang and Hu leaders were overjoyed and ordered the charge again.
Then he saw the Han army's front troops retreating like a tide, showing their white fangs.
