"That's all!" Beigong Chun led his Xiliang cavalry and ran rampant in the right camp of the Huns and Han Kingdom.
Before fighting against the Huns, Liu Cong led the Huns to resist Liu Kun in the north, surrender to Wang Kuang in the south, and even attack Luoyang all the way.
Bei Gongchun really thought that the Huns soldiers were very powerful, but this time Bei Gongchun personally took his Xiliang cavalry to test the level of the Huns. Bei Gongchun was a little shocked, that's it? That's it!
"Uncle!" Hu Yanhao watched Hu Yanyi being killed by Bei Gongchun, and endless anger arose in his heart.
He was so angry that not only was he not afraid, but he brought his personal guards over to kill him without any hesitation!
When Bei Gongchun saw Hu Yanhao coming to kill him, he could see that he was a general with bodyguards, so he didn't hesitate at all. With a wave of his spear, the whole army rushed directly towards Hu Yanhao.
It has to be said that Hu Yanhao himself is quite capable, and he survived several rounds in Bei Gongchun's hands. However, the guards surrounding him were defeated by the machetes of the Xiliang Iron Riders.
I was so chopped that I lost my soul.
These Xiongnu guards could not withstand the orderly and fierce slaughter of the Xiliang cavalry. When Hu Yanhao came to his senses, he saw that the guards around him were dead and injured.
While Hu Yanhao was distracted, the spear in Bei Gongchun's hand stabbed him hard in the chest with the help of horse power.
Hu Yanhao looked at the sky and Bei Gongchun's strong face with a bit of despair!
Just when Beigong Chun killed Hu Yanyi first and then Hu Yanhao, the right camp was in a mess. The soldiers and generals inside did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals. Almost the entire Xiongnu army camp was almost completely paralyzed.
And Liu Cong's army finally formed a military formation to complete the integration and came here to support.
"General, the puppets have military support. We are small and weak, so we should evacuate first." said the general beside him.
"It's a pity. If there were three thousand cavalry, I would definitely go to Zhongying to have a try." Bei Gongchun couldn't help but sigh.
Bei Gongchun left as quickly as he came. He evacuated decisively before Liu Cong's troops encircled him. Apart from the smoke and dust, there was only chaos on the ground. Even Bei Gongchun himself did not know what he had done to the entire Huns.
What a blow the Han Dynasty caused!
When Liu Cong arrived with the rescue soldiers, restored order in the right camp, and took stock of the losses, Liu Cong almost fainted.
Hu Yanyi, the Great Sikong of the Huns and Han Kingdom, who was also his uncle, was killed in the battle. Hu Yanhao, the backbone of the Huyan clan and the conquering general, was killed in the battle. There is no need to look at the other casualties in the list. The death of these two people alone has a great impact on the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom.
Big earthquake.
Liu Cong stopped the army's advance and immediately wrote to Liu Yuan to explain the matter clearly.
Their deaths were really not their own fault, they were really incompetent!
To be honest, Liu Cong was quite shocked at first, but the more he wrote, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
There is no way that the Huyan family is Liu Yuan's wife, especially the important supporting force for Prince Liu He.
This crusade against Luoyang was more or less facilitated by a group of people represented by the Huyan clan.
A very important reason why he can serve as a general is that Liu Yuan made himself the commander-in-chief in order to balance the two forces of the Xiongnu faction and the Sinicization faction within the country. However, the main force in the crusade against Luoyang this time was still the Xiongnu faction.
Now that he is dead like this, it is not a bad thing for Liu Cong anyway. If it is bad, it is also a good thing for the bad prince Liu He.
However, Liu He explained to Liu Yuan the whole story of Hu Yanyi's death in battle. At the same time, he did not dare to be careless at all, and began to find out why the army led by Hu Yanyi was trampled by the enemy's horses in broad daylight, resulting in the collapse of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty.
The highest-ranking official in history was killed in battle, and lessons must be learned from this matter.
In fact, Liu Cong checked again and again and finally came to the conclusion that the Huns soldiers under his command were weaker than the Han army!
Yes, when Liu Cong came to this final conclusion, he even wanted to scold Liu Li for coming to this conclusion.
Do you know what you are talking about? I have fought so many victorious battles, but you actually say that the Huns are weaker than the Han army.
Liu Li, the king of Anyang, said: "The Han people have been recruiting troops to fight for many years, and the entire army has been honed to a very strong level.
On the contrary, our Huns have been at peace for a long time and have been sparse in battle formations for a long time. Therefore, in terms of frontal combat effectiveness, our army cannot compare with the Han army.
To be able to win the Battle of Changping, the main force is Shi Le's Jie tribe or Wang Mi's Han people, which have little to do with us Huns!"
When Liu Cong heard this truth, he looked at Liu Li with a bit more disgust.
After all, don’t Liu Li’s words mean that winning the Battle of Changping under his leadership has little to do with him?
However, Liu Cong also had to admit that Liu Li was right. When the Xiongnu soldiers and Han people encountered an attack, the soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the performance of the soldiers. Looking at the regulations Wang Mi sent him for instructions, could Liu Cong not know?
What Wang Mi means.
He even lamented that after the Han army under Wang Mi had been purged, he still had time to ask for instructions from himself.
In contrast, the camp of the Huns soldiers was in chaos from beginning to end. If they did not lead their own troops to suppress it, they would probably collapse immediately.
Just like this, Liu Cong also planned to take advantage of this opportunity to use Luoyang to train his Huns soldiers.
After all, the core of the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom is the Huns. If one’s own people do not have enough military strength, it will always be a huge hidden danger.
And now he wants to use this opportunity to make up for the weaknesses of the Huns and Han Kingdom.
So Liu Cong quickly wrote an additional memorial to Liu Yuan, saying: "The Jin Dynasty's army is small and weak. They cannot give up the attack because of the death of Hu Yanyi and others. If they insist on staying and capturing Luoyang, then the world will change!"
”
While Liu Cong reorganized the army, promoted Hu Yanlang, the junior champion general of the Huyan family, and regained control of the army, he also waited for Liu Yuan's reply, so he did not attack Luoyang directly, and the military situation slowed down slightly.
At the same time, Bei Gongchun seized the flag of Youying and returned to Luoyang City. Not to mention that the morale of the entire Luoyang City has soared, and at least the panic among people has stabilized.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At least Sima Yue's head was still normal, and he immediately cooperated with the propaganda forces in Luoyang City to start publicity.
"The great horse of Liangzhou is running rampant all over the world. The bandits and thieves of Liangzhou's owl are gone. The flamboyant owl kills people."
After hearing this, Bei Gongchun was also quite proud, but then Sima Yue began to ask Wang Yan to recruit Bei Gongchun.
After all, Sima Yue's relationship with his strong man Gou Xi had just deteriorated, and now that he saw such a strong man as Bei Gongchun, he naturally wanted to recruit Bei Gongchun.
But Bei Gongchun looked at Sima Yue's appearance, and then thought about Zhang Gui's glory, and finally refused Sima Yue's invitation without hesitation, saying that he was Zhang Gui's person.
His persistence made Sima Yue quite unhappy, but it was not the time for reckoning yet. After all, Liu Cong had not retreated yet, but Sima Yue's attitude towards Bei Gongchun had cooled down.
Although he was neither a friend nor an enemy, Sima Yue also chose to let Beigong Chunxian be assigned to him, euphemistically saying:
"The general is powerful and must be used when necessary."
Liu Cong's waiting soon brought an edict from Liu Yuan allowing him to continue the attack.
Although Hu Yanyi's death had a great impact on the Xiongnu internally, Liu Yuan still respected Liu Cong's decision on the front line and chose to continue the attack.
After successfully gaining recognition, Liu Cong immediately made arrangements. Liu Cong divided his forces to besiege the city, Liu Yao attacked the east gate, Wang Mi attacked the Guangyang gate, Liu Jing attacked the Daxia gate, Liu Cong and Liu Li, and Hu Yanlang attacked the Xuan gate.
Yangmen, several armies attacked Luoyang City together.
And this kind of attack, to be honest, is quite difficult to work.
Because the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty were not only soldiers of the Xiongnu who had little experience in battles, but also had very little experience in conquering fortified cities.
For example, whether Liu Tai made a surprise attack on Yecheng or forced his eldest son to surrender, he never really experienced a siege.
Even the Han army under Wang Mi had never experienced a siege battle, so the other Huns soldiers were even worse.
Luoyang is the capital of the Jin Dynasty and a famous city in the world. Although Sima Yue is despised as a superior, he does control the most important military power of the entire Jin Dynasty.
Bei Gongchun's attack on Liu Cong's army actually caused limited damage, but it made the soldiers in Luoyang City realize that Liu Cong's army was not invincible.
If there is food in a fortified city, morale is not low. If the outside army wants to take it by force, it was almost impossible in the feudal era.
Not to mention, Liu Cong's army is not famous for attacking fortresses, and it is almost impossible to capture Luoyang in one go.
Liu Tai naturally mingled with Wang Mi's army and took the initiative to take on the task of cutting down trees.
"Why are you hiding so far away! Are your elite men trained just to chop down trees?"
When Wang Mi saw Liu Tai taking the initiative to cut down the trees, he cursed, "You are so not optimistic about taking Luoyang!"
"If Beigong Chun hadn't attacked the right camp and boosted the morale of Luoyang City, maybe it would have been possible to win the battle.
But now there are soldiers, food and morale in Luoyang City. Let's take the lead. Uncle, give me the task of cutting down trees and let me get through!" Liu Tai said very sincerely to Wang Mi.
"Don't disturb the morale of the army!" Wang Mi heard Liu Tai's words, thought for a while, and said, "Just stay in the army for me. If there is a chance, I will need your elite troops to be the first to ascend!"
"Wei!" Liu Tai agreed after hearing Wang Mi's words. For Liu Tai, his goal had been achieved.
Siege warfare has always been the bloodiest and most helpless war in the feudal era. Liu Tai knew that he had trained elite soldiers with proven experience, but if such elite soldiers were used up in such a siege battle, he would probably be cruel.
Hit yourself hard in the mouth.
Therefore, Liu Tai came here to express that he did not want to participate in this siege, but at the same time he promised Wang Mi that he would obey Wang Mi's orders if he had the chance. This statement was enough.
At least in Wang Mi's view, Liu Tai is the strongest card in his hand, so naturally this card cannot be used in siege battles.
Moreover, Wang Mi has fought a lot, and it is not his first time here in Luoyang. Naturally, he knows that outdoor warfare and siege warfare are absolutely different.
Why did I besiege Luoyang so completely? Others don’t know, but I still don’t know!
Therefore, Wang Mi attacked Guangyang Gate with the spirit of not seeking merit but seeking no faults, and he steadily advanced step by step.
After all, Wang Mi suffered a big loss last time. He might have taken over the Central Plains and shocked China, and he could have become the king and hegemony.
It was not like running over to work for Liu Yuan like now, so Wang Mi just did it slowly with an exploratory mind.
And Wang Mi's experience is not that of others. Compared with Wang Mi's step-by-step approach and unhurried attack on the city, the Huns at other gates commanded various other ethnic minorities, and even the Han people came forward one after another, but they were all resisted.
Outside the city.
After several days of intense siege, all those soldiers who died were wiped out, but those injured who came back alive were wailing in the military camp one after another.
It only lasted a few days, and Liu Cong knew that he could no longer attack like this. If he continued like this, he was afraid that he would mutiny before Luoyang was captured.
Liu Tai stayed outside Luoyang City for a few days. Seeing that Luoyang City could not be captured, he asked Wang Mi:
"Uncle, Luoyang is so strong that we may not be able to capture it for a while. Does King Chu have any intention of retreating?"
Hearing Liu Tai's words, Wang Mi glared at Liu Tai fiercely. If it weren't for the nephew he raised by himself, you would have been dragged out and executed long ago in the name of disrupting the morale of the army due to your outspoken character.
You have been reading history books for so long, you know it’s useless, right? It’s up to you to shout about whether to retreat or not!
Wang Mi said, "Forget it if you yell at me in private. Don't say it outside the military camp, otherwise you will be sued!"
"The fortified city is difficult to conquer, is there any way to capture Luoyang?" Liu Tai couldn't help but ask.
"There's nothing you can do?!" Wang Mi couldn't help but take a look when he heard Liu Tai's words.
Liu Tai shook his head and said, "We have troops, food, and morale. As long as Sima wants to fight, I really don't know how to attack!"
Although Liu Tai looked down upon Sima's Jin court, at least it was a unified dynasty.
When facing the Hu people, they also subjectively treat the Hu people as slaves, which means they really look down on the Hu people from the bottom of their hearts.
Unlike some separatist regimes that lick foreigners, they dared to consecrate Mount Tai even before the world was unified, a fortified city with an army, food, and morale. In the end, the emperor took the lead to send it off. After all, we cannot expect all rulers to be like this.
What a brain-dead person!
"Hey, there's nothing you can do?!" Wang Mi heard Liu Tai's words, but he also felt a little helpless.
Liu Tai looked at Wang Mi and said: "This is a strategic issue and cannot be reversed by tactics.
Unless the food transportation between Luoyang and other places is cut off, causing a shortage of food in Luoyang City, only then can we have a chance to siege Luoyang.
Otherwise, Luoyang will not be able to take it. The food in Luoyang City now is probably more than ours!"
"You still see it thoroughly!" Wang Mi couldn't help but nodded.
"What does King Chu have in mind? Does he refuse to withdraw?" Liu Tai couldn't help but wonder after hearing Wang Mi's words.
"King Chu, we decided to climb Mount Song!" Wang Mi looked up at the sky, really not understanding Liu Cong's thinking.
"Huh? Mountain climbing?" Well, Liu Tai doesn't understand either.
