This night is destined to be extraordinary. Until dawn the next day, it will determine the rise and fall of a dynasty.
In the Taiyuan commander's camp, even though it was already late at night, Xiahou was still not sleepy at all. He stood quietly in front of the battle table and stared at the mountains, rivers and seas for dozens of miles around Datong.
After a long time, she took a sip of tea and said to herself: "If you calculate the time carefully, Brother Mu and the others will arrive in the next two days, right?"
A few days ago, I might have felt happy because of this news. Chen Mu was not an ordinary person, and with Han Xiner here, he could definitely beat the shit out of these barbarians.
But now I don't know why, I always feel like something is wrong.
At this moment, a woman walked in from outside the tent.
The woman was none other than Cui Er, the woman Xia Hou had courted when he first arrived in Lihe Village a few years ago.
Five years have passed and she is now Xiahou's wife.
It is better to know your husband than your wife. Cui'er knew what Xiahou was thinking. She stepped forward and took Xiahou's arm and said: "Brother Mu can go from a poor scholar to the position of Yizhou shepherd. Can he be an ordinary person? You
What’s there to worry about?”
Xiahou stroked Cui'er's slightly bulging belly, and then said with a wry smile: "That's right, forget it, the baby is about to be born, and I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep if I don't lie down."
Cui'er pursed her lips and smiled, and immediately prepared to go back to the room with Xiahou to rest.
But at this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly broke the silence.
But he saw a soldier guarding the city suddenly running to Xia Hou, and then reported: "General! There is a big movement in the Tatar military camp. All the soldiers have raised fire and left the camp. There are still many Tatar swordsmen surrounding Taiyuan City!"
"
Upon hearing this, Xiahou's expression suddenly froze!
"All the more than 90,000 Tatar soldiers were dispatched?"
"Look at the endless fire shadow in the military camp, it should be!"
Xia Hou's heart suddenly sank. Most of the troops who were going to attack Taiyuan went to other places. At that moment, he vaguely guessed a terrifying fact, but he still asked in disbelief.
"In which direction did you go?"
"West!"
After hearing this answer, Xiahou Sa left the two of them and ran towards the city gate.
The word "west" is like a needle, constantly stimulating Xiahou's nerves.
Because apart from the mountains in the west, there is only the Fen River.
The fact that the Tatars can mobilize their entire army in such a mobilizing manner can only explain one problem. Brother Mu and the others have led the army to the Fen River and are about to cross the river!
When we arrived at the city gate, we saw that countless Tatar troops were entrenched a hundred feet away from the city, guarding the main pass leading to the Fen River.
Seeing this scene, Xiahou's previous suspicion was confirmed. This group of Tatars prevented the troops in the city from leaving the city to support them, and all the large troops went to the Fen River to intercept and kill the reinforcements!
"What a great move to surround and support!"
After sighing, Xiahou slapped himself hard again. Logically speaking, the news about Brother Mu going north is relatively confidential.
The reason why the Tatars suddenly found out was probably because the military details were leaked to the Tatars last time in order to boost the morale of the army!
"I made a mistake!"
Xia Hou was filled with regret, and the deputy general on the side quickly asked: "General, what should we do next?"
Xiahou glanced at the Tatar army under the city, and then shouted angrily: "Gather the whole army and get out of the city!"
As soon as these words came out, the deputy general on the side quickly reminded: "General, please think twice! The King of Shuchuan knows the art of war very well. How could he choose to cross the river at this time in the middle of the night? If this is the Tatar army deliberately luring us out, it will be in danger
!”
What the deputy general said is not wrong. What kind of person is Chen Mu? The two battles between Monan and Tubo have proved to the whole country that he is a military genius.
Historically, large armies had to be cautious when crossing the river during the day, let alone leading the large army to cross the river late at night? How could the dignified King of Shuchuan make such a mistake?
But now Xia Hou sternly refused: "You just have to carry out the order. Even if it is a trap, I have to get out of it this time!"
He, the Marquis of Xia, could not afford to take this risk. An army of 60,000 was the hope of the entire Longxia. Even if he fell into a trap this time and lost more than 10,000 troops, Taiyuan City fell, and hundreds of thousands of people died, he could not
No matter what.
After all, once Chen Mu and his entire army are wiped out, the entire Long Xia will fall in less than a year!
Seeing Xiahou's determination, the deputy general had no choice but to go down and organize the army.
Xia Hou stood on the city gate and stared deeply at the night.
"Brother Mu, no matter what, I, Xiahou, will not let you fall into death."
Ten thousand troops were waiting in formation under the city gate. Their armor was slightly dull and their blades were slightly cold. These sergeants were all trained by Xia Hou. They were definitely an elite army.
Candles illuminated the faces of the soldiers, and their eyes were filled with the will to die.
Xia Hou stood in front of the army. To him, these soldiers were no different from brothers. But tonight, many people will die in this vast loess and rocky cliffs.
But for the safety of Brother Mu and his party, he had to do this. What would it matter even if it cost him his own life in the end?
"Go out of the city to meet the enemy!"
The next moment, the city gate opened wide, and with the shouts of killing, all the soldiers rushed out of the Taiyuan city gate like a swarm!
"kill!"
"kill!"
The shouts of killing shook the earth, but King Husile in the distance looked at this scene, but he didn't panic at all. He gave a ferocious smile and just said: "I thought I couldn't react, but if I want to get over, I'm afraid I will."
Disaster!"
After saying that, he saw him wave his sword: "Charge!"
The next moment, the two thousand cavalry standing in the front row charged forward.
The cavalry was the strongest unit in the cold weapon era. The iron hooves raised dust along the way. When they approached the Han army formation, many soldiers were soon trampled to death under the hooves of the horses.
The formation was instantly disrupted, and then the remaining Tatar soldiers rushed over again. The Han army soon showed a disadvantage.
But even so, Xiahou continued to direct the charge. This was bound to be an unequal war. Xiahou had anticipated it the moment he left the city.
But a real man is always like this. He knows he can't do something, but he has to do it.
Some things are not something you can or cannot do, but you have to do them.
People continued to die in the front, but behind Xiahou, there were still three thousand soldiers who did not move. Even though his subordinates were beheaded every moment, they refused to issue military orders.
The deputy general roared: "General, hurry up and put all the troops into battle!"
But Xiahou remained unmoved, and no one knew what he was thinking. It was not until all the other side's troops were involved in the whirlpool of the battlefield that he said sternly: "The whole army listens to the order! Follow me to the Fenhe River!"
"What...what!"
When the deputy general heard this, he looked in disbelief!
It's already a bad battle right now. Eight thousand soldiers are fighting in the front, but the general wants to lead three thousand people to leave. In this situation, without a general in charge, it means that all eight thousand people will die cleanly.
