The first thousand two hundred and ninety-six chapters
Chapter 1,296 Encirclement and Annihilation
Huyandalan looked at the soldiers around him. There were only more than 20,000 cavalry left among the 40,000 cavalry. If the battle continued, they might be dead.
More than 20,000 Xiongnu cavalry did not dare to stay and ran directly towards the north, trying to escape the attack of the Chinese cavalry.
"They retreated north."
"Alan Shanda and Yuan Yao take a break for the time being, and the remaining soldiers will follow me in pursuit."
Seeing the other party retreating towards the north, Zhao Yun let out a sneer at the corner of his mouth, what he wants is for you to go north.
"promise."
The armored cavalry and camel cavalry were good at attacking but not good at chasing. Zhao Yun did not expect them to play a role in the pursuit, so he simply let them rest and led the remaining cavalry northward to continue chasing the fleeing Huns cavalry.
The two sides chased each other and fled, rolling up the wild sand in the sky and running towards the north.
"General, the enemy is retreating towards the north."
The scout came to Yan Xing and directly reported the situation ahead.
"If you don't take the road provided by heaven, hell will have no door and you will fall into it. The whole army is ready to charge."
Yan Xing was also overjoyed when he heard that the opponent was retreating towards him. Originally, he was thinking about whether he could catch up with the battle, but now the opponent bumped into him, which was exactly what he wanted.
The eyes of the 20,000 cavalrymen immediately became bloodshot, and they drew their jade swords and charged south.
"what sound?"
The Hun cavalry who were fleeing to the north were puzzled when they heard the sound of horse hooves. They didn't understand why there was such a sound in the north.
"No, there's an ambush."
When Huyandalan heard this voice, he immediately understood that the enemy had cavalry in the north. No wonder they wanted to push him to the north. It turned out that there was an ambush.
"There is an ambush in front of us and there are pursuers behind us. Now we can only grit our teeth and rush forward. If we break through their obstruction, we can escape."
Qiu Linjian's eyes were full of anxiety. Hesitation now was in vain. He could only hope to escape by breaking through the enemy troops to the north before the pursuers behind him could reach them.
"Fuck it, where is the guard Wolf Cavalry?"
Huyandalan also knew that he could not hesitate now and directly called his bodyguard Wolf Cavalry.
"exist."
The Wolf Cavalry Commander Genar has been killed, but the Wolf Cavalry has only been damaged by more than half, and there are probably more than 400 wolf cavalry left.
"Line up in front and charge to break the formation."
Since you want to break out of the formation, you must put your strongest combat power at the front. Only by tearing apart the enemy's formation can you ensure that the soldiers behind can escape as much as possible.
As time passed, Yan Xing finally saw the Hun cavalry in front of him and gave a direct order. The whole army accelerated instantly and killed the Hun cavalry.
"kill."
The two sides collided directly. Yan Xing was invincible with his iron gun and charged directly into the Huns cavalry. All the enemies in front of him were knocked off their horses with one shot. The suppressing troops behind him were also unparalleled in their bravery and followed Yan Xing into
Among the Huns cavalry.
"Based on the centurion, disperse and escape."
Seeing that his bodyguard was drowned in front of the enemy without even a splash rising, Huyandalan had nothing to say. At this moment, he had nothing to say except to give in.
After hearing Huyandalan's words, the Huns cavalry immediately dispersed and started to flee based on the centurions.
"Run away now?
Disperse the pursuit."
Yan Xing saw that the opponent was about to collapse at the first touch, and knew that the opponent must be trying to flee. He did not hesitate and directly ordered the soldiers to disperse and pursue them.
"Disperse the pursuit."
Zhao Yun, who was in the rear, also saw the opponent's situation and immediately ordered his soldiers to disperse and pursue them.
The entire land instantly changed from the original mass charge to a full-scale horse race, with small-scale cavalry fighting everywhere. Huyandalan and Qiu Linjian, escorted by hundreds of cavalry, passed through the obstruction of Yan Xing's troops and headed towards Xu.
Running wildly in the direction of Houcheng.
This pursuit battle lasted until night. The sky turned dark and it was impossible to pursue. Zhao Yun and Yan Xing had no choice but to give up the pursuit and gather their troops and horses.
"Brother Yanming, thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Yun looked at Yan Xing, who was covered in blood, and saluted him directly with cupped fists.
"Whatever you say, General Zilong has worked really hard. He defeated the opponent's 40,000 Huns cavalry with 40,000 cavalry. The Yingyang Army is indeed the best cavalry in China."
Yan Xing wiped his face and smiled at Zhao Yun.
"You only brought 20,000 fine cavalry here. You must have placed soldiers and horses in Wubuhou City to stop the opponent."
Zhao Yunchong nodded to Yan Xing. You must know that the opponent had 40,000 cavalry, and now only 20,000 came. They must have set up an ambush in Wubuhou City.
"I have placed 10,000 fine cavalry in Wubuhou City, and I have also placed 10,000 cavalry in the direction of Beilu."
Yan Xing nodded to Zhao Yun and told him his plan.
"Haha, it really has to be you. If this is the case, it will be really difficult for the enemy to leave."
Hearing Yan Xing's arrangement, Zhao Yun was also excited. With such an arrangement, even if the enemy could not be completely wiped out, the number of them who could escape could only be a few thousand.
"So what do we do now?"
Yan Xing glanced at Zhao Yun and saw that in the current situation, so many soldiers and horses were useless here.
"Do you want to lead troops in pursuit?"
Zhao Yun glanced at Yan Xing and immediately understood what he meant. He wanted to lead his troops to pursue the Huns.
"Well, we don't need so many soldiers and horses here anymore, so we might as well go after the opponent."
Yan Xing nodded, that's what he meant.
"Then you lead your cavalry in pursuit. I believe they will not go from there when they find that there are soldiers and horses in Wubuhou City. Instead, they will choose to go around the desert from Beilu and return to the Xiongnu tribe."
Since Yan Xing wants to do this, Zhao Yun can't force him to stay here, and there are not so many soldiers and horses here, so there is no problem in sending the Huns cavalry to chase him.
"promise."
Yan Xing nodded and led his cavalry directly to the west towards Beilu.
"General, what should we do now?
Attack Wutu Valley?"
Yuan Yao took off his visor and spoke to Zhao Yun.
"Well, let's take a short break and head to Wutu Valley tomorrow."
Zhao Yun glanced at Yan Xing who was walking away, turned around, and ordered his soldiers to go south to prepare to attack Wutu Valley.
"promise."
Soon Zhao Yun gathered troops and horses, and out of the 40,000 people, only 30,000 cavalry were left. However, he captured nearly 10,000 prisoners. After resting for a night, Zhao Yun marched towards Wutu Valley.
"Your Majesty, General Zilong's telegram has arrived."
The war here was over, and the telegram was sent directly to Yuan Shu's army.
"What was the result?"
Hearing the telegram from Zhao Yun, Yuan Shu was also excited. You must know that the Xiongnu are a great scourge. If they cannot be defeated, it will cause great hidden dangers to his subsequent conquest of the Western Regions and Guishang, so he sent
Yan Liang led the cavalry north to attack the Xiongnu tribe.
"Nearly 20,000 Xiongnu were annihilated and nearly 10,000 were captured. Only 10,000 cavalry escaped. General Yan Xing has already led people to pursue them."
Tian Feng told the contents of the telegram.
"Okay, even if we can't completely annihilate the Huns this time, they can still be severely damaged. Coupled with Yan Liang's cavalry heading north, the Huns are doomed."
Hearing that only Wanqi from the Xiongnu escaped, Yuan Shu nodded.
"Then shall we go to Wutu Valley now or continue forward to Gaochang?"
Tian Feng also nodded. Now that the Huns are out of control, it is time to decide whether to support Wutu Valley or go to Gaochang.
"Just leave the Wutu Valley side to Zilong. I believe they can solve it perfectly. We will go directly to Gaochang."
Yuan Shu thought for a while, he didn't have to do anything by himself, otherwise why would he bring so many elites and generals here?
Is it just because it looks good?
"promise."
After Yuan Shu gave the order, the army marched directly in the direction of Gaochang. They left the construction corps behind them without stopping, and began to follow Yuan Shu's direction to continue building roads and bridges.
Zhao Yun led his troops south and arrived directly outside Wutu Valley. More than 30,000 cavalry were arrayed under the city. Looking at the low city walls, he was also a little confused.
He was used to seeing tall cities and wide walls in China, but he really didn't feel anything when he saw the four to five meter high city wall in front of him.
"Alan Shanda, call for surrender."
Zhao Yun glanced at Alan Shanda beside him and directly motioned for him to surrender.
"As commanded."
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Alan Shanda rode a camel directly to the city wall.
"Abdul is here or not. If he is, speak up."
Alan Shanda spoke the language of a charioteer and shouted loudly at the city wall.
"Alan Shanda, you traitor."
When the chariot king Abdul heard Alan Shanda's words, he directly showed his head from the city wall and cursed below.
"Alan Shanda, there is no such thing as a traitor. The rear of your chariot division obeys the Huns, but our southern chariot division is devoted to China. In the past, you had strong troops and conquered the front of the chariot division.
Now the situation has reversed. The 40,000 Huns cavalry who went south have been wiped out by us. You have no hope.
Now that Kaicheng surrenders, I can't guarantee your life, but the family can still survive."
Alan Shanda was also smart. He knew that Abdul must be waiting for the Huns' support, so he drove ahead of time to cut off their retreat.
"You fart, even if you want me to surrender, there is no way."
Hearing Alan Shanda's words, Abdul immediately became angry. A person he had never looked at in the past was now asking him to surrender?
"Abdul, there's nothing you can do if you don't believe it. This is a fact. Someone come and bring up the Huns prisoners."
A flash of light flashed in Alan Shanda's eyes. If you don't believe it, well, I'll show you the facts.
Soon the Hun prisoners behind were pushed out. Naturally, not all of them were pushed out, but nearly a thousand people were brought over, and they all lined up and knelt under the Wutu Valley City.
"see it?
This is the fact, Abdul, it is not too late to surrender now. If a large army really wants to attack the city, you will be finished by then."
Alan Shanda looked at the Hun prisoners kneeling in front of him and shouted to Abdul on the wall.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?
It seems that the Huns were really defeated by them."
A flash of light flashed in the eyes of Chariot Prime Minister Bethliva. Originally, he did not believe that the other party could defeat the Hun cavalry, but now looking at the prisoners kneeling under the city, it was obvious that what the other party said was true, so the pressure would be on his side.
.
"what to do?
If we fight to the death, do we really have to surrender in Kaicheng and let the other side kill us wantonly?"
